Chapter 642: Raising Tigers as a Problem
In fact, Guo Dan was not wrong, Zhang Cheng really wanted to choose a side when he came back, because he gradually felt that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Guo Dan, after all, it was not only those bureaucrats who defended their official positions to deal with Guo Dan now, but even those relatives and powerful people also ended up one after another.
For example, Zhang Jing and the others leaned over to that side, without considering Guo Dan at all, which made Zhang Cheng feel that if he stood in the middle again, it might cause dissatisfaction among the emperor's relatives.
Therefore, if Guo Dan couldn't give him a very strong reason, he might also lean over there.
After all, the relatives are also on the emperor's side.
But Guo Dan gave him a reason to slow down again.
It's an overseas plan.
Zhang Cheng wasn't sure if this two-year plan really had that much power, so he thought about it and waited and seeed.
"I just saw the carriage of the Prime Minister."
As soon as Zhang Cheng walked on the front foot, Aunt Xu came to the tooth shop on the back foot.
Guo smiled and asked, "Do you guess why the inner minister came?" ”
Aunt Xu just smiled and didn't say anything.
Do you still need to guess?
"I'm more curious how you persuaded the Prime Minister." Aunt Xu sat down and asked with interest.
Guo Dan said: "It's not that serious, my relationship with the internal minister is very firm, and I won't shake it easily." ”
"No matter how firm the relationship is, it can't compete with such an impact from the other party." Aunt Xu said worriedly.
Guo Dan asked, "Does the layman think this matter is very serious?" ”
Aunt Xu nodded and said, "You have gained a foothold with your business skills, once you have what you have now, and they all have it, then you will naturally be at a disadvantage." In addition, you have provided them with very good help. If Guangtong Money Bank is successful, they can learn from your practice of using money banks to intervene in tariffs, and use money banks to intervene in the country's finances. ”
Guo Dan frowned and said, "If you say this, you shouldn't rely on the ministers of the court to stop it." ”
Aunt Xu sighed softly: "In the past, it was actually very difficult for those relatives to do this, because whether it was a courtier or a cabinet minister, they were very opposed to the interference of the emperor's relatives in court affairs, especially the speech officials, they often criticized their relatives, which made the relatives fearful. But because of the tariffs, they all hated the cabinet, which also made them gradually get closer, so that there was Guangtong Bank. The cabinet's words are now under attack, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a difference. ”
In fact, the tariff incident brought a very big shock to the imperial court, mainly because of the cooperation between the cabinet and Guo Dan, which made them very angry at the same time, but also felt an unprecedented crisis, they judged that the cabinet, in order to strengthen the power of the cabinet, there is no bottom line, then they should not have a bottom line, so inadvertently, has changed the situation in the DPRK and China, resulting in the former enemy has also become an ally.
If this was before, the officials would definitely impeach Li Gao to death, and all of them would have been impeached, but now they all choose to remain silent, because they are very happy to see their relatives to deal with Guo Dan and the cabinet, which is also in their interests.
"But I can't stop it!" Guo Dan shook his head.
Aunt Xu said: "But if you don't stop them, they will continue to target you to gain the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, so as to obtain the benefits they want, which is very disadvantageous to you." ”
Li Gao and Guo Dan have never had any contact, and there is no contradiction, it can even be said that Li Gao is very supportive of Guo Dan for cutting off Zheng Chengxian's way to get rich, so Li Gao does not necessarily have to deal with Guo Dan, but now as long as he deals with Guo Dan in the DPRK, he can get support.
In this case, what else is there to say, it doesn't cost anything to deal with Guo Dan, it's different from dealing with Shen Shixing and others, it has to pay a political cost.
This made Aunt Xu feel very worried, when dealing with Guo Dan became a means that could be exchanged for the support of the courtiers, then Guo Dan was very dangerous.
Guo Dan frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Hearing the layman say this, it makes me think of a way to make money." ”
Aunt Xu was curious: "What is the way to make money?" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "They play like this, they just want to use the money bank to carry out corruption, but whose money are they greedy for?" I think all this money should come from the people, no, to be precise, from the small landlords and small businessmen.
Because the money bank only plays with silver, and those rich merchants themselves may be players, and their money cannot be moved, then the rest are only those small merchants and small landlords. They are a population in great need of protection, and we can protect them. ”
Aunt Xu was angry and said with a smile: "You yourself are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and you still go to protect others?" ”
"I can't protect this person." Guo Dan shook his head, and said hehehe: "But we can protect their silver." ”
Aunt Xu frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Guo Dan pondered a little, and said: "I plan to add a business to the money bank of Weihui Mansion next year, that is, the storage business, our Yinuo Money Village has a large and good treasury in Weihui Mansion, and has a very perfect system, as well as a good reputation, it is undoubtedly very safe to put the silver in our Weihui Mansion."
In the future, everyone will be able to deposit silver from various places to our bank in Weihui Mansion, and only need to pay a certain amount of money every year. As long as we do a good job, then I believe that there will be many small businessmen and small landowners who will deposit their silver in our bank. At that time, raiding may become the least profitable business in the world. ”
Aunt Xu asked, "You're not afraid that they will find out your money bank." ”
"Then talk about the evidence."
Guo smiled lightly: "As long as they come up with enough evidence, of course our money bank is willing to cooperate with the investigation, but if they can't come up, then we are very sorry." ”
According to Aunt Xu's meaning, Guangtong Qianzhuang may provide property protection for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which makes Guo Dan and they can also use Qianzhuang to provide property protection for those industrialists and businessmen.
Aunt Xu was really convinced, he didn't expect Guo Dan to come up with such a way to compete with Guangtong Qianzhuang, and said with a smile: "Although your method can stop the behavior of those corrupt officials to a certain extent, it is always a symptom but not a cure." ”
"Haven't we already discussed the root cause?"
Guo smiled lightly: "In my opinion, it is still good for us for them to do this, because they think that we are now on the defensive, focusing on competing with us in this area, and thus ignoring our encroachment plan." ”
Aunt Xu nodded slightly.
......
In the evening, Kou Zhuansha came to Guo Dan's office and said, "It's been like this, no one should come to you again." ”
Guo Dan glanced at Kou Liansha and said with a smile: "Madame seems to have something to say!" ”
Kou Zhuisa pursed her lips and said, "But you will definitely say that it is a good thing for us to reassure me." ”
Of course, she was also very worried, but Guo Dan always acted indifferent, which made her very depressed.
Guo Dan smiled and said, "Madame is really in a word, the other party does this, it really makes me think of a way to make money." ”
Kou Zhuansha asked, "What is the way to make money?" ”
Guo Dan said: "I think this money bank will make many speculative people join it, and seek the support of the imperial court by dealing with us, and then make profits from it, in other words, there will be more funds injected into business in the future, which is full of business opportunities, and we can't let go of this opportunity." I thought we could find someone to go to Tongzhou and build a dental store to serve these people. ”
Kou Zhuisa was dumbfounded when she heard this, "What does the husband mean, to help them deal with us?" ”
Guo Dan shook his head and smiled: "I can't say that, we businessmen are just to make money, since there is money to be made here, there is no such thing as letting it go, as for what their purpose is, it doesn't matter, we can't stop it anyway." Let's put it this way, if they are willing to spend 10,000 taels to publish an article in our newspaper to boycott our Yinuo Ya, I will be more than happy to do so. ”
He really did this kind of thing, when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, Nanjing and other institutions published articles in Yinuo Journal to boycott Yinuo University.
But in the eyes of others, it was just a compromise made by Guo Dan under the pressure of power, and now there is no need for this at all!
Kou Zhuan Sha was really incredulous, and asked, "Husband, aren't you afraid of raising tigers?" ”
Guo Dan said seriously: "Don't say it, I have really carefully analyzed the problem of raising tigers, in fact, there are only a few people who raise tigers, that is, some people like to be alarmist, they predict a hundred times, right once, then it is a prophecy, but I don't look at them Ninety-nine times wrong."
In fact, most of the tigers are profitable, for example, they can be used for people to visit, and for example, the tiger skin and tiger whip, but they are all rare things, which can be sold at a high price, from this ratio, the benefits are far higher than the risks, this is not his vote, so we are embarrassed to say that we are businessmen? ”
Kou Zhuansha was already a little suspicious of life when she heard it, and after half a loud sound, she said: "But this money makes me feel uneasy." ”
She really couldn't help others deal with herself.
"That's it!" Guo sighed: "Then forget it, after all, Madame's body is the most important thing." ”
Kou Liansha couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "It seems that I will talk to you less about this in the future, so as not to be unable to sleep at night." ”
"How is that possible?"
Guo Dan said angrily: "I work so hard every night, how can you not sleep." ”
“......?”
This is the first day of the opening of Guangtong Bank, which has aroused the concern of so many people, which shows that this has become a landmark event.
It also makes this festival full of business atmosphere.
Guo Dan was right, the opening of Guangtong Money Village made many people see an opportunity to make money, especially those powerful people, royal relatives, and they began to prepare for their own end, opening a textile workshop, or an iron workshop, or a leather workshop.
These workshops can be targeted at the Weihui Mansion in exchange for the support of the ministers, and as long as they play well, the orders for those armaments will fall on their heads.
But they were actually a step too late, because Guo Dan had already got everything he wanted in China, and his eyes had already looked overseas, and as soon as the New Year was over, he was ready to go to Tianjin Wei.
