In the second year of Guangxi, August 2.

Early morning.

Luoyang City, East City, Jingping Commercial Bank.

Above the lobby of the commercial bank, more than ten shopkeepers of the commercial bank knelt left and right, and as the chief shopkeeper of the commercial bank, Mu Jingpan sat on the high position, he gently flipped through the account book in his hand, and a smile inadvertently rose between the corners of his mouth.

"Gong Chang, this time you did a good job!"

Mu Jing raised his head and looked at Gong Chang: "The timing of copying the bottom is very good, and there is no greed, from entering to evacuating, the action is fast, the clouds are smooth, whether it is concealment or dispersion, it is done, so I can copy the grain of 200,000 stones without knowing it!" ”

He has a good plan, but if there is a problem with the execution, it will be all in vain.

Gong Chang's execution ability is not bad.

is not under Zhang Heng, Sun Hao and Xu Lin are not as good as his ability combined.

Therefore, in this business war, it seemed that both sides were losing on the surface, but the final copy he arranged allowed Gong Chang to steal 200,000 stone of grain at a low price, which was already the biggest harvest.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Hearing this, Gong Chang let out a long sigh of relief and bowed down and nodded.

This time he did his best, the Guanzhong market is so big, any loophole will cause the whole situation to lose, he can win 200,000 stone grain at the last moment of the fight between the two sides, with the attitude of a fisherman to make a profit, but he played at a super level, in fact, he thought that it was already the limit to be able to win 150,000 stones.

"Sun Hao!"

"In!"

"I have already sent out the guard battalion, and there are people who have ordered Jing Wusi to assist, you personally go to preside over it, and send this grain into the Bishui Pass as soon as possible!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

Taking advantage of the low price of grain in Guanzhong, the grain horse won was the grain reserve of the Jingping Army, which was enough to ensure the military rations of Bishui Pass for one year.

"Yes!"

Sun Hao gave up his hand to take the order.

"In addition, the matter of Gong Chang's promotion to the executive shopkeeper will be passed on!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "In the future, this aspect of Jingping Grain Shop will be handed over to Gong Chang!" ”

The executive shopkeeper, that is the shopkeeper of Jingping Commercial Bank, not the executor, but a decision-maker, is the position that countless shopkeepers in the firm want to get when they break their heads.

Now Jingping Commercial Bank, in addition to the big shopkeeper of Mujing, the three giants of the commercial bank, that is, Zhang Heng and Sun Haonai are the executive shopkeepers, and Xu Lin is in charge of the iron-smelting workshop, and the position is critical, so he is not so enthusiastic about things in the firm, but he is just in the name of a supervising shopkeeper.

Jingping Commercial Bank has conquered Nanyang over the years, subdued many businessmen in Nanyang, and attracted most of Nanyang's business capital, so that it can expand so rapidly that the number of executable treasurers has not increased.

This is the first time that the number of seats in charge has been increased.

"Thank you for the promotion of the big treasurer, and the subordinates should do their best, and after death, they will seek the welfare of the business bank!" Gong Chang said excitedly.

Taking this step, he can be regarded as gaining the trust of Mu Jing.

The Gong family will have the day when Dongshan rises.

"Big shopkeeper, then there is still a place for the executive shopkeeper?" Sun Hao is not surprised by this, he and Gong Chang are also old rivals, Gong Chang has been pressed for so long because he chose the wrong team, but his ability is undoubted, and now the business house is no longer a small business house, out of Wuyin, out of Nanyang, and into Daguanzhong, his horizons have also been relaxed, and now the strength of the business house is getting bigger and bigger, and the party is gradually forming, which makes him more optimistic about the businessmen from Wuyin who are born locally, this is the township party group, the inevitable nature of the times, However, the executive shopkeeper has promoted a total of two this time, and there is still a position for the seat, he asked cautiously.

"Wancheng Xu Shen!"

Mu Jing said with a smile.

Wancheng businessman Xu Shen, when Jingping Commercial Bank entered Wancheng, was the first businessman to choose to take refuge in Jingping Commercial Bank, and this time in the Guanzhong food war, Jingping Commercial Bank is not only in front of the meritorious, but also in the back of the stable backyard of the people also have merit, not Xu Shen in Nanyang fundraising, how can there be today's Guanzhong victory.

"Xu Shen?"

"It's him!"

"The Xu family itself is just a small carpenter, and this time it's going to fly!"

“……”

There was a hint of envy in the words of all the shopkeepers.

"Get this on as soon as possible!" Mu Jing stood up and said: "Also, inform Zhang Heng that after the aftermath of the incident in Guanzhong, return to Nanyang as soon as possible, and several of you executive treasurers will meet in Nanyang as soon as possible to discuss the future work assignment, I hope Jingping Commercial Bank will be more powerful in the future!" ”

"No!"

Sun Hao and Gong Chang nodded respectfully.

When Mu Jing left Jingping Commercial Bank, Gong Chang and Sun Hao personally sent them to the door, and Gong Chang was a little speechless.

"Just say something?" Mu Jing stopped as he got into the carriage.

"The big shopkeeper, when we copy the bottom, there will be more or less traces of it, and the Guanzhong side will know it if they know it, and it will be no big deal, but the East China Sea merchants and the Mi family are our allies, will they think that our goodwill is problematic!"

Gong Chang said in a low voice.

If you talk about it, it means that Jingping Commercial Bank is a little unkind, everyone fights together, but you win the biggest profit quietly in the back.

"Gong Chang, we are businessmen, businessmen have been chasing interests since ancient times, this is instinct!" Mu Jing smiled and said: "Also, Jingping Commercial Bank and Mijia are just a cooperative relationship, we are not one, we will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, the news will also be shared, and we will not retreat when we rush to the front, I think I am worthy of them, but they can't think of copying the bottom, that's their business, we think of it, that's our business, there's nothing to feel guilty about about this matter!" ”

"Got it!"

Gong Chang nodded.

"But on the bright side, everyone's face is still going to pass, so the tail of this matter must be hidden, and all the food should be arranged as soon as possible, and no handle can be left!" Mu Jing said.

"Back to the shopkeeper, I will personally go and transport these grains back to Bishui Pass as soon as possible!" Sun Hao took the order.

*********************

Hanoi, the city of Chao Song.

In a big mansion, the merchants of the East China Sea gathered together at this time, and their faces were full of joy and sorrow, some were happy, and some were sad and angry.

"This time in the grain war in Guanzhong, our Yue family has lost more than 100 gold!"

"It's all to blame on the Mi family!"

"This is also a grievance against the Mi family, natural disasters and man-made disasters, who can calculate accurately, if it is not for the price reduction later, any of us can make a lot of money!"

"You Zhao Lao doesn't have a backache when he speaks, your Zhao family grain shop has already established a solid foundation in Hanoi County by opening a warehouse to release grain, and the long-term benefits of taking this trade route in Hanoi in the future are very considerable!"

"You can't blame me, when the Mi family ordered the price to be reduced, you were unwilling to reduce the price!"

"Hey, it's all our greed!"

"Fortunately, our Qi family listened to the words of the head of the Mi family, lowered the price in advance, won the hearts of the people, and barely gained a firm foothold in a few grain stores around Kyoto!"

“……”

The East China Sea businessman, you say a word to me, some people lament, and some people rejoice.

At this time, the door opened, and a dusty figure walked in from the outside, this was a young man who was not very old, but in the hearts of all the merchants in the East China Sea, he had quite a status, and everyone hurriedly got up.

"Meet the Master of the Mi Family!"

All the businessmen saluted at this figure.

"You're welcome!"

Mi Zhu caught up from Chang'an, the main battlefield of the East China Sea merchants was in Hanoi and Henan, and the main battlefield of the Mi family was in Jingzhao, Chang'an, and the two sides could only exchange news through fast horse scouts.

After Mi Zhu walked into the lobby, he was not polite at all, and directly sat on the first place in the middle of the Malaysian Golden Knife, the Mi family has always been the head of the merchants in the East China Sea, this position is very critical, but it can't be modest, and modesty can't calm people's hearts.

After he sat down, his eyes swept over, looked at everyone, and said, "This time it's my Mi family, I'm sorry for everyone, and my Mi family will try my best to make up for everyone's losses in the future!" ”

"The master of the Mi family is polite!"

"Although we are businessmen, we also know that benefits and risks are indispensable, since we have come to Guanzhong, we have also been prepared, it is impossible to just make a profit, without the slightest risk!"

"And this time it has nothing to do with the head of the Mi family, it's a problem with the weather in Guanzhong, if it weren't for the outbreak of the rainy season, how would we hurt ourselves!"

"And we are not completely defeated, although we have lost a lot of funds, but there are also many people who have stood firm in the foundation of Luoyang, thanks to the master of the Mi family for giving us the opportunity to open up the situation!"

The merchants spoke one after another.

"Everyone's generosity, Zhu Ming in mind!" There was a bitter smile on Mi Zhu's tired expression.

"Master of the Mi family, in fact, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not?" It was Wei Nan who spoke, the head of the Wei family in Taishan, and one of the banners of the merchants in the East China Sea.

"Master Wei, please speak!" Mi Zhu said.

"We have a cooperative relationship with Jingping Commercial Bank, yes!"

"Of course!"

"But when I found out that the price of grain collapsed, someone was copying the bottom behind his back, taking advantage of the low price, absorbing grain, I checked, it should be someone from Jingping Commercial Bank, they did this, didn't they turn their backs on us?" The head of the Wei family said.

"I already know about it!"

The head of the Mi family sighed, he had already heard a report on this matter when he went north, even the Wei family could find clues, and the Mi family could naturally do it, he was a little angry after being surprised, but after the anger calmed down, he said in a deep voice to everyone: "You should also know that businessmen are profit-seeking, although we and Jingping Commercial Bank are cooperating, they are not one, everything they have done, all the news is shared, and there is no stab when they fight side by side, which is worthy of us, but the matter of buying the bottom at a low price is a big benefit, They thought of it, but we didn't think about it, why should they share it with us, in other words, if we thought of it, would we share this benefit with them? ”

"This ......"

"Probably not!"

The businessmen looked at each other, and finally said helplessly.

"This can only show that Jingping Commercial Bank is a step ahead!" Mi Zhu said in a deep voice: "And we are far inferior to them!" ”

"It's not inferior, it's just that people's hearts are not aligned!"

Some businessmen said in a deep voice.

"Well said!"

Mi Zhu took the case and said: "This time the planning of the Guanzhong grain market made me see the biggest weakness of our East China Sea merchants, we are not united enough, so even if everyone loses together, Jingping Commercial Bank is only about half of us, because they can subsidize each other, and we are fighting separately, and we are inferior to others, so I decided to take advantage of this opportunity to set up a commercial bank belonging to our Donghai people, what they Jingping Commercial Bank can do, our Donghai businessmen can also do it, I believe that as long as we unite, In the future, the businessmen will be the most powerful for our East China Sea merchants! ”
