Chapter 205: Forced Buying and Selling (II)
Zheng Zhaoyi's words are actually a satire of Fan Hongdao, a pure scholar to do business, in the concept of the world, how to say it is also a kind of subservient behavior, it is reasonable to be ridiculed as a shortcoming.

Fan Hongdao remained silent, and said lightly: "In the next Hanru, I originally thought that I didn't have the capital to bid for the store property with you. However, if the price of each place is only one or twenty taels, it can also be raised at the bottom. If there is more, there is only one way to give up. ā
Of course, the true value of the three store properties cannot be only one or twenty taels, and Fan Hongdao deliberately said this number, obviously aimed at Steward Zheng.
When Steward Zheng was thinking about how to answer, he heard Fan Hongdao say to the shopkeeper Tian, who was in charge of selling the store's property: "If each place really only sells one or twenty taels, you might as well sell it to the next person than to sell it to the surnamed Zheng." In any case, it is also half a neighbor in the next place. ā
Steward Zheng offered a price of one or twenty taels per place, which was an arrogant use of low prices to grab it, but Fan Hongdao also wanted to snatch it from Steward Zheng at this price, which was even more arrogant than Steward Zheng.
The people around couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, they didn't understand what Fan Hongdao was thinking, how could Steward Zheng agree. Steward Zheng dares to open a low price, but it does not mean that Steward Zheng will watch others snatch the target with a low price. Could it be that Fan Hongdao's purpose is to squeeze on Steward Zheng and let Steward Zheng raise the price?
Steward Zheng chuckled a few times, "Don't think that our Zheng family is blind and deaf, and we don't know what you rely on." Then he shouted to the people around him, "Don't think I don't know what you expect from this surnamed Fan!"
Fan Hongdao asked with interest: "Tell me, what do I rely on?"
Steward Zheng waited here, immediately faced everyone, and replied in a loud voice: "Aren't you just relying on the old man of Shen Ge? I heard that the eldest prince of Shen is about to go to the Nancheng branch office to serve as the head of the county, yes or no?"
You merchants, you are counting on the surname Fan to make friends with Shen Dagongzi and take care of the affairs of this acre and three points of land, yes or no?
But I want to tell you, you can't count on this at all! Do you know that this person surnamed Fan has already been driven out by the Shen Mansion! Do you know that the Shen Mansion will no longer care about this surname Fan!"
Fan Hongdao's eyes widened, and he seemed to be surprised and said, "You even know all this? ā
There was an uproar among the others around, and Steward Zheng was right, this is what they were indeed hoping for.
With the rise of Fan Hongdao's reputation, the relationship between Fan Hongdao and Shen Ge Lao also spread to the ears of these merchants on Chongwenmenwai Street. So they hope that Fan Hongdao will open up the way of Shen Yong Mao Shen's eldest son, and then stop the hostile takeover of Zheng Steward.
But listening to the meaning of Steward Zheng, it seems that the Shen Mansion has severed the relationship with Fan Hongdao, and will not help Fan Hongdao solve the problem?
If that's the case, then what's the, Fan Hongdao will definitely have no drama here. Thinking of this, the merchants couldn't help but fall into despair, how else could they stop Steward Zheng from buying and selling?
For a while, there was silence in the teahouse, and everyone didn't even have a sound to talk about.
"Hehehehehe. Steward Zheng was very satisfied with the effect of his "exposing" the truth about Fan Hongdao's paper tiger, especially after completely defeating the confidence of the shopkeeper Tian, it was easier to grasp the other party, and he would get twice the result with half the effort.
After waiting for a while to let others digest his "revelations", Steward Zheng coughed a few times to attract the attention of others again. Then he said to the shopkeeper Tian: "Three stores produce 100 taels!
Compared with the initial quotation increased by forty taels, compared with the second quotation increased by seventy taels, the latest quotation of Steward Zheng is slightly relaxed. In the case of winning the ticket, so as not to let the shopkeeper jump off the wall in a hurry.
No one dared to come out to bid with Steward Zheng just now, and now Fan Hongdao's reinforcements have also failed, and no one dares to offend Steward Zheng in person. Shopkeeper Tian's face changed, and he was completely out of ideas.
"I'll give you a hundred and one taels!" suddenly someone shouted.
Steward Zheng doesn't need to turn his head, he can tell by just listening to his voice, this person who raised the price is Fan Hongdao. In Steward Zheng's view, it is more appropriate to say that this is not so much a price hike as a troublemaker.
He turned his head sideways to Fan Hongdao and mocked and said, "The surname Fan, you just said that you may be able to raise one or twenty taels per place, but if it exceeds this amount, you can only give up."
Now that the sum of the three places is one hundred taels of silver, which has exceeded the previous number, why did you go back on your word and make an offer? Don't you scholars pay attention to the fact that words must be believed and deeds must be fruitful, and there is also a reason for not believing in words?"
Everyone was stunned, no wonder Steward Zheng took the initiative to raise the price, it turned out that he was waiting for Fan Hongdao to run.
Fan Hongdao snorted coldly: "Who said I wanted to buy it? Although I gave up this time, I can make an offer for others!"
Yang Chaofeng, who was standing on the periphery, was overjoyed, he had expressed his intention to buy the property of the shopkeeper in front of Fan Hongdao, could it be that Fan Hongdao was really interested and planned to help him? Maybe Fan Hongdao really had some way to snatch the store property from Steward Zheng.
"Sophistry!" Steward Zheng was very dissatisfied when he saw that he still couldn't take advantage of his mouth, and shouted: "Who are you calling for?"
The surrounding merchants looked at each other, not knowing what kind of name Fan Hongdao was selling, and Yang Chaofeng himself didn't dare to go out and admit it, it was too dangerous.
Fan Hongdao sneered again and again, "Steward Zheng, is there only so much in your vision? People are not here, have you heard of Zhu Gongzi?"
"Which Zhu Gongzi?" Steward Zheng asked subconsciously.
Fan Hongdao replied: "Zhu Gongzi, who lives in the county government of Daxing County and received 20,000 yuan of salt from the Son of Heaven last year to lead him to Hedong!"
"Is it him?" Steward Zheng is the external manager of the concubine Zheng family, and he is no stranger to the circle of relatives of the emperor in the capital, and immediately thought of who this "Zhu Gongzi" is. He also thought that Fan Hongdao had also been to Hedong last year, so maybe he really had something to do with Zhu Gongzi.
The Zheng family, which has the backing of a favored concubine, is of course not afraid of this "Zhu Gongzi", how can Zhu Gongzi compare with the concubine with a strong pillow wind. But he Zheng is not equal to the Zheng family, Zheng is just one of the many Zheng family.
"It's her! I'm making the price for her this time, does Steward Zheng have any opinions?" Fan Hongdao seemed to gain momentum again, and asked forcefully.
Steward Zheng took a deep breath, he was definitely unwilling to show weakness in front of Fan Hongdao, gritted his teeth and said, "So what? What does my Zheng family care about?"
Fan Hongdao looked at Steward Zheng with pity and sighed: "The ignorant are fearless. Have you ever thought about it, where did Zhu Gongzi's money come from, and if he spent it, who would he spend it for?"
Steward Zheng suddenly remembered where the salt in the hand of that Zhu Gongzi came from, it turned out that Fan Hongdao really relied on it today!
