"Cao Wending, do you think Wang Jian will agree?" Sun Xiao looked at the young man standing in front of him and asked with some suspicion. Although Cao Wending in front of him is young, he is a person that his father-in-law values very much, and when he appeared in front of him with his father-in-law's handwritten letter a few days ago, he was really taken aback. His father-in-law obviously trusted him very much, and he actually handed over such a big matter that was related to the prosperity of the entire Cao family in the next few decades.

"Uncle, but please rest assured, Wang Jian will definitely agree." Cao Wending said confidently, "Wang Jian is a very realistic person, when he arrived at our Han, he saw the huge gap between his country and our Han, which he could not change in a short period of time, so he immediately settled in the subject country, in fact, he also knew in his heart that if the Han wanted to calculate him, with his strength, there would be no way to resist it, so he would definitely be a little singler in the end and leave these things to us to do." First, it can solve the problems he is facing now, and secondly, it can also resolve our Han's suspicion of him, and third, come!

Cao Wending couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Sun Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"He must have thought that we did this at the behest of the king, so even if he was a little reluctant, he would still agree."

"How do you think he thinks that's the case?" Sun Xiaoqi said.

"Uncle, you have forgotten the background of the Cao family, there is no need to say that the owner, young master, and you, uncle, are all hot figures in the Han Dynasty, and they are deeply trusted by the king, such a person with a deep court background to do this, doesn't Wang Jian think that this is the meaning of the king?" Cao Wending explained.

"You, you've counted the king into it." Sun Xiao's color changed, "This is the first time since I followed the king that I have used my power for personal gain, and I have revealed to you the situation about Wang Jian. If the king knows about this, I'm afraid I'll eat a meal and hang up. ”

"I can't hide it from the king." Cao Wending said calmly: "But I think the king will be happy to see it." ”

"Why do you say that?" Sun Xiao asked.

Cao Wending sighed: "Uncle, in fact, hitchhiking has now reached a bottleneck, over the years, the old owner has used his influence in the imperial court and the army to almost take over the transportation business of the entire imperial court. The speed of the swelling of the hitchhikers is really amazing, do you think that as a king, he would like to see such a situation of dominance? You know, now almost the entire transportation industry of Dahan is controlled by the Cao family? ”

"The Cao family has always been loyal to the king." Sun Xiao changed color.

This loyalty, the king is naturally clear, but this does not prevent him from being unhappy, no king will be willing to see this situation, take 10,000 steps back. Even if the king is relieved, do you think the government hall will be relieved? Do you think the people in the Great Council will be reassured? From a public point of view, this matter involves national security, and from a private point of view, is it possible that no one will want to take a bite of such a big piece of fat? ”

Sun Xiao took a deep breath, what Cao Wending said was not unreasonable.

"Now that the government and the military have begun to support other forces, the business volume of Chubb Carriage and Horse Company has surged by 300 percent during the year. The vast majority of their business growth is from the First Military Region. In the past, these businesses were all in our pockets. Cao Wending continued: "The old club saw this situation, if he didn't make another plan, he was afraid that he would come to the door with a disaster." ”

"Doesn't it end there?" Sun Xiao's face changed slightly.

Cao Wending smiled, "Uncle, it's not very difficult to want our Cao family to capsize, for example." In some of the next major wars to destroy Chu and Pingqin, as long as there is a major incident in the freight we undertake, what kind of situation do you say we will face? At that time, even if the king is willing to come out and vouch, according to the current law of the Han Dynasty. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to escape the responsibility of the crime, do you want to ask the king for a pardon? ”

"Father-in-law actually thinks that things have reached such a serious point?" Sun Xiao's voice changed a little.

"Think about Li Can's fate, Li Can tried to monopolize overseas trade, and his uncle must have known about the things he did, although he didn't blame him later, but he was demoted to the end, and even his son Li Quan was implicated, from a promising admiral, to an inland river defense general, and then look at the current maritime trade, the Li family was suppressed by this, and other maritime merchants took the opportunity to rise, how could the previous Fenzhou maritime merchants be compared with Cangzhou maritime merchants, but now, Fenzhou maritime merchants have the upper hand."

Sun Xiao fell silent.

"So the old boss came to me to discuss, and my advice to the old boss was to shrink the domestic transportation business of Dahan, diversify investment, and not let people use us as a target for attack. The old owner also adopted my suggestion, and now the old owner almost does not care about the transportation business, and will use a lot of energy to disperse Cao's investment, and now Cao's has participated in more than a dozen company workshops, and our main transportation industry in the past six months, the business has fallen by three percent, and it looks like it will continue to decline. ”

"In this way, wouldn't those people who have been working hard with their father-in-law all these years lose their jobs?"

"The transportation industry is our main business, it's a pity to lose it completely, and it can't be too obvious, just at this time, Wang Jian appeared at the right time, this is almost a pie in the sky, we can transfer the business to his territory, we go to such a distant place to open up a new battlefield, I don't think it will be suspicious again." Cao Wending said with a smile. "Besides, this is also a good thing for the Great Han, we can penetrate deeper into Wang Jian's regime, right?"

"An interest-free loan of four million yuan, and a large-scale investment in Wang Jian's territory, I am afraid that it will also take millions of yuan, where did my father-in-law find so much money?" Sun Xiao's analysis of Cao Wending was no longer different at this time, obviously, Cao Tiancheng's decision was correct, but he was very suspicious of where the Cao family got so much money.

"Uncle underestimates the strength of the Cao family, in fact, it is not difficult for the Cao family to come up with millions of yuan now, of course, in this way, the Cao family will inevitably be affected in other industries, so when I came, the old club had already decided to join the Mei family and the Wu family to do this together."

"Mei and Wu?" Sun Xiao was stunned, "If the two of them are willing to participate, there really is no problem." ”

"The Mei family is now in the limelight, but his family is thin, and he has no ability to be in the Han palm industry, the second Mei Su in charge of Mei is looking for new business opportunities, and we hit it off, Wu's liquor industry has encountered a strong challenge in the past two years, with the distillation technology made public in the world, other distilleries in Dahan are also rising strongly, in the low-end market, Wu has almost lost all the country, and in the mid-end market, they are also suffering from the opponent's attack, what they can keep, It's just that with the reputation of the old brand and the top high-end market that have been played for many years, but the sales volume of the high-end market must be limited, so they also have to find other ways out. Cao Wending said with a smile: "Our three resolutions form a joint stock limited company, Cao's because it is a leader in this industry, not only has enough transportation tools and talents, but also has a road construction team that turns to the north and south, no matter how difficult the road is not difficult to build, we have 40% of the shares in this company, and they account for 30% of the two of them." Cao Wen said.

"Do you think such a large investment can recover the cost and make a profit in Wang Jian?" Sun Xiao asked with some suspicion.

"Of course, after Helanjie came back, we inquired about the specific situation there, it was much better than we expected, the cost of building roads would not be too high, uncle, where is a country within a radius of thousands of miles after all, let's go in, this is a unique business, no one can challenge us, and with the advantages of the road we have mastered and the friendship with the Wang Jian government, we have no threshold to enter his industry, this is not comparable to in the Han Dynasty, everything has restrictions, everything has laws, where, We can do many things without scruples, can we? ”

"Well, if you want to do other business, with the advantage of transportation costs, it is enough to beat other people to their heads." Sun Xiaodao.

"So this first step is just the beginning, and what we want to do in the end is to completely grasp the economic lifeline of the Wang Jian government." Cao Wending said heavily.

Hearing this, Sun Xiao looked Cao Wending up and down: "Wending, this whole plan should have been drawn up by you, in my image, my father-in-law has absolutely no such brain, and he can think about everything so clearly." ”

"My uncle praised him, and the old club said his worries, and I came up with this plan through the matter of Wang Jian." Cao Wending said with a smile.

"You are a top student in the Department of Ming Computing of Jicheng University, I heard that the central bank and the Ministry of Finance wanted you at the beginning, but why don't you go to my father-in-law's place instead of being an official?" Sun Xiao asked.

Cao Wending smiled, "Uncle must have known everything about me, I think the young master must have inquired about my ancestors for eighteen generations, right?" ”

Sun Xiao smiled and did not answer the question.

"Whether I go to the central bank, or go to the Ministry of Finance, I have to start from a small official, and I have to listen to the boss to drink at my meager salary, I am arrogant, I can't stand this, go to the tailwind, the old club was promoted to me as the deputy manager in the first year I went, and this year I will completely hand over the major matters related to the prosperity of the Cao family, I can command hundreds of people, and easily mobilize millions of taels of silver, that is, Mei Su and Wu Tianjiao, the second eldest of the Wu family, also politely called me Brother Cao, uncle, Which one do you say I'm going to choose? Cao Wending laughed, "And now the officials of the Han Dynasty are not so easy to be!" ”

Hearing Cao Wending say this, Sun Xiao also laughed, "It's really not good, a few days ago, I was questioned by the councilors of Dayan County." (To be continued.) )
