Gao Pragmatism, who has always paid attention to the principle of maximizing interests, of course, will not casually send the entire Liaodong soap agency just because Xue Cheng treated him hospitably during the banquet, which is a complete act of sending money. The reason why he suddenly threw an olive branch to Xue Cheng had a clear purpose.

First of all, Xue Cheng is the younger brother of Xue Gan, the Marquis of Yangwu, and Xue Gan was not officially named the Marquis of Yangwu until his death, but after his death, his son Xue Cheng was recognized by the imperial court and became the Marquis of Yangwu, so in the future, this Xue Cheng will be the uncle of the Marquis of Yangwu - then there is no problem with him as the representative of the Marquis of Yangwu.

Secondly, once the Yangwu Marquis Mansion gets the soap agency in Liaodong, the rest of the nobles will definitely not be satisfied that they can only share the dividends in Beijing every year, and the Yangwu Hou, who is not the top nobles, will take so much, so they will definitely ask to get the agency rights of other provinces or regions, so they must further move closer to Gao Pragmatic.

Gao Pragmatic has so many things at hand that only he knows well, and he doesn't mind giving them the second-hand benefits brought by this kind of agency, after all, his goal is to establish a core industrial circle by himself, so that the Xungui Group, the Civil Official Group and even the Imperial Family Clan Group can form a chain of interests with his industrial system as the center, and comprehensively drive the Ming elite group to change their thinking, so as to embark on the road of reform. Therefore, it is foreseeable that under the highly pragmatic "concessions", the two sides can hit it off, and their interests can only be tied step by step.

This kind of highly pragmatic method, in the later generations in fact, people with a little brains know, this is the so-called first make the cake bigger, and then I, the core main force of the cake, will distribute it to everyone, if you want to share a little more, then you have to listen to me more than others. The only variable here is actually only the imperial family, especially the emperor himself - theoretically he is supreme and can not listen to your distribution and forcibly demand that he divide it.

It's just that Gao Pragmatic feels that at that time, he also has a way to think about it. Because the emperor wants to distribute it himself, he must take the lion's share, but except for himself, the interests of the rest of the people are equivalent to being affected, so Gao Pragmatic can coerce the "subjects of the world" to force the emperor to retract this idea that may endanger the foundation of the rule, and finally the two sides reach a compromise. As long as such a good show is staged, Gao Pragmatic's status above the ministers will be determined-but I don't know what year and month it is, so take your time.

Again, Gao Shishi's own funds on hand are still very limited after all, and his time is very tight, so it is impossible for him to invest the money he earned from selling soap in Beijing into the development of the national soap market, otherwise he will probably be a Daming soap king in his life.

He must make his money to build new industries and open up new financial resources as quickly as possible, and in this kind of building and development, the production technology involved will only get higher and higher, and the scale of the industry will only get bigger and bigger, so correspondingly, the investment required will inevitably be more and more. If there is no accident, his industry should be snowballing bigger and bigger, and at the same time, the investment is also snowballing more and more.

Then, this requires him to take the initiative to give up some non-core interests after innovating a certain industry, and introduce more investors to partner with him, so as to share risks and benefits. As long as he still controls the core resources of this industry, the other partners can only "closely unite around the interest group with high pragmatism as the core", and willingly open up business routes for him and shelter him from the wind and rain.

I don't know how this kid took the party school advanced course in his last life, he didn't learn a little about the noble idea of serving the people, and he learned all the things about weaving a network of interests.

Ship the soap from Liaodong to Gu Cheng, of course, it can't be shipped at the retail price, and after Gao Cheng ate eighty or ninety percent, he signaled Gu Cheng to disperse. Gu Cheng was more anxious than Gao Pragmatic, and reluctantly insisted on sending Qi Jiguang to rest in person, and then asked Gao Pragmatic to go to the study to discuss secretly.

The two of them discussed carefully in the study for two hours, until three o'clock in the evening (about half past ten in the evening), Gao Shishi could no longer hold back and wanted to fall asleep, and then he reluctantly discussed all kinds of details.

I won't mention the terms that are too detailed, and the most important ones are that Gao Pragmatic provided soap to Gu Cheng at ninety percent of the retail price of soap in Beijing, and Gu Cheng guaranteed that the Yangwu Marquis Mansion would open the Liaodong trade route with the greatest efforts. At the same time, Gu Cheng needs to ensure that the price of his shipment is not lower than the retail price of Jingshi soap, otherwise Gao Cheng has the right to terminate the supply at any time.

In some other scattered aspects, Gu Cheng didn't care very much, and he didn't know too much about Gao Pragmatism's words about the curved roads, so after a general look, there seemed to be no problem, so he directly signed and drew on behalf of the Yangwu Marquis Mansion - of course, this still needs to be sent to Xue Gan to stamp the big seal of the Yangwu Marquis.

And Gao Pragmatism, a bad seed who studied law in a university in his previous life, of course doesn't mind stuffing in some seemingly harmless human and animal harmless, but in fact extremely insidious "secret doors", the existence of these secret doors is not to harm people, but once the Yangwu Marquis Mansion wants to regret it, those secret doors here will turn from flowery beauty to thorny desperate situation.

"Zengguang Xianwen" said well: You can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't do without the heart of preventing people. After all, Gao Pragmatism can't guarantee that he won't have a crisis in the future, if some of his partners see that the situation is not good, they will be instigated, and want to leave themselves alone to survive, if they have no countermeasures, how can they get it? Haven't you heard of the saying "There are many brothers with wine and meat, how can I see a person in an emergency"? is pragmatic and does not regard himself as that kind of pedantic gentleman, how can people "deceive him"?

After the matter was discussed, the satisfied Commander Xue almost offered Gao Pragmatic as the God of Wealth, and personally arranged for Gao Pragmatic to live in the best courtyard in Kaiping, and even the guards brought by Gao Pragmatic were treated with a supper with wine and meat, and then arranged to live in Gao Pragmatic's courtyard. At the same time, he was worried that they would get drunk and make a mistake, so he personally ordered two hundred "elite soldiers" and asked them to stay around the courtyard all night.

In his words: Even a cat named Chun is not allowed to appear around the courtyard and disturb the rest of the high attendants! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will personally whip you and whip you waste snacks to death!
