This time, Aunt Xu was really defeated, and she was calculated miserably by Guo Dan.

Where did she think that Guo Dan would want His Majesty to ask for unlimited rights.

This is too targeted, and it is aimed at Xu Mengxi.

Guo Dan, as a married man, in Aunt Xu's opinion, it was impossible for Xu Menghui to agree to her as a concubine, so she dared to make that poisonous oath at that time.

She calculated very accurately, Xu Mengxuan really couldn't agree, but who knew ......!

She can't escape now, after all, her father is undoubtedly the most important person in her mind.

When she saw with her own eyes that Xu Mengxi and Guo Dan reached that marriage contract very happily, her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she suffered from gains and losses.

She had already decided early on not to marry in this life.

She really wasn't prepared for that.

So when all this happened, she seemed a little at a loss.

When Guo Dandu had already left with the gift money, she didn't come back to her senses.

"Feng'er!"

Aunt Xu raised her head, looked at Xu Mengxi, and suddenly asked, "Does Daddy really want his daughter to marry so much?" ”

Xu Mengxi sighed: "Of course Daddy is reluctant, but Daddy doesn't want you to be lonely and old, and when you reach Daddy's age, you can experience Daddy's mood at this time." ”

Aunt Xu said: "Zi is not a fish, but you know the joy of fish." ”

Xu Mengxi said: "Daddy really doesn't know the joy of fish, but Daddy knows the pain of people." ”

......

And over there, Guo Dan is full of loads, what Xu Mengxi gave him is a marriage contract, not a contract, Xu Mengxi is not stupid, now Guo Dan's status and wealth, whoever joins the family, will inevitably dominate, and he can't be suppressed at all, so why bother not to find happiness with himself.

Not only that, Xu Mengxuan also gave a dowry worth 5,000 taels, which is already a lot at the moment, and it may not be comparable to a colt.

As for the wedding, Xu Mengxi did not ask for it, at least on the surface, it was still a gift, if the wedding was to be held, it must be a ceremony, Guo Dan went to the Xu family in a sedan chair, not Aunt Xu to marry into the Kou family.

The key is still the Kou family, Xu Menghui feels that this operation is really embarrassing, in what capacity do Kou Shouxin and Kou Zhuansha participate?

Let's just keep it simple.

This is also exactly what Guo Dan wants, he doesn't like these rituals very much, he thinks it's a waste of time.

When Guo Dan returned to the dental shop, it was already evening, and the noisy dental shop gradually quieted down.

"Husband."

When Guo Dan got down from the carriage, he saw Kou Zhuansha come out, and he couldn't help laughing: "What? I'm worried that my husband won't come back. ”

Kou Liansha glanced at him slightly, and said, "I'm just worried that you are open-mouthed and will anger your uncle." ”

"Madame, don't worry, I had a very pleasant conversation with my uncle. You see. ”

Guo Dan said and pointed back, "This is the dowry gift that my uncle gave me, but there are thousands of taels, and this is also a way to make money." ”

Kou Liansha glanced back, a little relieved, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Li Tong and Duan Changsheng are here." ”

"Really?"

Guo Dan hurriedly asked, "Where are they?" ”

Kou Zhuan said, "In the office." ”

"Then let's go inside."

When I came to the office, I saw two people sitting inside, one of whom was tall and thin, with dark skin, it was Li Tong, the general manager of Fengchi Group.

There is also a medium build, slightly older, slightly chubby, and his complexion is white and red.

This person is Duan Changsheng, the big supervisor of Yinuo Yaxing in Liaodong, and it can be regarded as the old department of Kou Zhuansha, because of the cotton armor, Guo Dan sent Duan Changsheng to Liaodong to be responsible for after-sales affairs, and then promoted him to be the big supervisor of Yinuoya in Liaodong.

"General Manager!"

When the two saw that Guo Dan was back, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

"The color of your skin already tells me who I should give a little more bonus this year."

Guo Dan quipped, and then came to sit down behind the desk with Kou Zhuansha.

Duan and Li were stunned for a moment, then glanced at each other, and then immediately understood.

Li Tong has been running around for the past two years, and the sun is relatively dark, and Duan Changsheng has lived a relatively quiet life because the Weihui Mansion stopped providing armaments to the Liaodong Army at the beginning.

"Sit and sit, don't be too restrained, this is not a yamen." Guo Dan beckoned again.

Duan Changsheng and Li Tong glanced at each other, and at the same time stretched out their hands to signal the other party to sit first, and then the two of them sat at the desk at the same time.

In terms of position, Duan Changsheng is of course inferior to Li Tong, but he is the big supervisor of Yinuo Yaxing, and Yinuo Yaxing is above all groups, and these two are actually equal to each other.

Guo Dan first asked Duan Changsheng: "Changsheng, how is the sale of Grand Canyon's shares in Jizhou?" ”

"Back to the general manager, it is going very smoothly at present."

"Really?"

Guo Dan said: "If I guessed correctly, you should have encountered a lot of competition recently. ”

Duan Changsheng nodded and said, "The general manager is right, there are indeed many people who have been secretly contacting those big generals recently, hoping to get their support, but unfortunately they are not generous enough, and they can give very little to those big generals, far less than what we give."

In addition, the imperial court was forced to stop the Liaodong Army from purchasing armaments from Weihui Mansion, which made the Liaodong Army very dissatisfied, because the soldiers liked the armaments we provided very much, and they all knew what was going on, and they were very dissatisfied with the civilian officials who controlled the armaments of Liaodong.

Because the previous distribution of armament interests has always been controlled in the hands of civilian officials, from the governor to the governor, and if they join our Grand Canyon, the armaments will no longer be controlled by civilian officials, and at the same time, they can also get stable and rich profits, plus Ning Yuanbo is already the majority shareholder of our Grand Canyon, so they are also willing to let their sons join the Grand Canyon. ”

As he spoke, Duan Changsheng hurriedly took out a document from his briefcase, handed it to Guo Dan, and said, "This is a talent that I recruited from within the Liaodong Army according to the requirements of the general manager. ”

Guo Dan took it and opened it to see that it was not a financial report, but a list.

It turns out that the sale of shares in Jizhou is different from other places, mainly to recruit "talents", and the descendants of those big generals are the objects of this share sale, and only a very small number of shares are open to sale to everyone.

Guo Dan promised not only to give them extremely high wages, but also to give them some shares, so that they would become the majority shareholders of the Grand Canyon, and since they were shareholders, they would naturally be able to intervene in the supply of armaments.

Guo Dan looked at it for a while, and then handed the list back.

Duan Changsheng subconsciously took it, but his expression was a little stunned.

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "This list is not detailed enough, I need to know more detailed information about them, I have to do things with our money, I won't support idlers, once they join the army, I will send them to the territory of other border armies to sell our armaments in the Grand Canyon and promote more armaments deals, but you didn't provide me with more detailed information, and I can't make personnel arrangements." ”

Duan Changsheng said with trepidation: "This is my negligence, I will change it when I go back." ”

Guo Dan nodded, not only did he not blame him too much, but found a piece of information for him, "You just do it according to this information." ”

"Yes, thank you, General Manager."

Duan Changsheng hurriedly took over the information.

Guo Dan looked at Li Tong again and said, "If your report is the same, take it out next time." ”

Duan Changsheng was embarrassed, and he felt that the pressure had doubled.

In terms of employing people, she is very different from Guo Dan's way, she leads by example, and Guo Dan is more heart-oriented, he is good at using words to motivate employees.

Li Tong hurriedly took out the report and said: "In the previous three months, we dug up one hundred and thirty-two principals from Caoyun, basically the technical problems of Caoyun are being dealt with, but the benefits they get are very small, and our Fengchi Group attaches great importance to this aspect of talents, so the work in this area is very smooth, it will not be long before their talents will be poached by us." ”

Fengchi Group is based on talents, while Caoyun is based on relationships, officials control everything, and real talents are not valued.

The man went to the high places, and the water flowed to the low places.

Of course, technical talents are willing to jump ship to the Fengchi Group.

Guo Dan took the information, and it was also a list, but there was a careful introduction on it, what positions these people Cao Yun held, how many years they had been in office, where they were from, and which river areas they were familiar with.

But this can't be blamed on Duan Changsheng, Li Tong has maintained this close contact with Guo Dan in recent years, and Duan Changsheng has not had any business in Liaodong for a long time, and he is not very aware of some of Guo Dan's habits.

Guo Dan nodded, and asked again, "How is our conflict with Cao Yun going recently?" ”

Li Tong smiled: "When we really make a move, they become vulnerable. ”

Kou Zhuan Sha said: "Most of Caoyun are officers and soldiers. ”

Li Tong hurriedly said: "The president doesn't know, those Cao Yunbing have long been corrupted, a little upright, and capable people have already come to our Fengchi Group, and the rest will bully the weak and fear the strong, no different from the ruffians and hooligans, no combat effectiveness, since the general manager ordered, we have won a big victory in every conflict." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "But now they do not clash with us head-on, but choose to block the river with broken boats, and hinder our fleet with all kinds of indiscriminate methods. ”

Guo Dan said: "Then we will take the initiative to attack, he blocks our cargo ships, we will scuttle their ships, in short, if they enter us a foot, we will enter them, and we will use the way of others to govern their bodies, so that they will not be at peace." ”

Kou Liansha was slightly startled and said, "Husband, their ship is carrying grain. ”

Guo Dan said: "When they can't complete the task, what else does the court need them to do?" The only concern I have now is whether our Fengchi Group will be able to strike them all. ”

Li Tong hurriedly said: "This... There is no problem with this, but it is not profitable to transport grain, they are laborers, but we have to pay for it, which is not cost-effective. ”

Guo Dan suddenly asked, "How is the situation in Yuegang?" ”

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reported: "Everything is as expected by the general manager, from the end of last year to now, the trade flow of Yuegang has plummeted by more than fifty percent, resulting in a large number of cargo ships running aground in the port, and we have successfully acquired three hundred and eighty large cargo ships, becoming the largest transportation fleet in Yuegang." However, before I came, I got a message that it was a Francois who lives in Ho Kung O and wanted to cooperate with our Fengchi Group. ”

"Portuguese?"

Guo Dan muttered.

Ho Kiang Macau is Macau, which is currently under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou government, and the Portuguese on it have only obtained the right of residence in the area.

Guo Dan really didn't think of them.

But they exist!

After the Luzon was attacked, the Portuguese in Macao were panicked, and they almost slipped away at that time, but there were a lot of interests involved, and they were not willing to do it, so they asked around, what the hell is going on, will they come to fight us, we are very honest, in Macao for many years we did not even dare to build a city wall, completely unfortified.

After learning that some of this matter had something to do with Yinuo Yaxing, but had nothing to do with the local government, they were a little relieved, and when dealing with businessmen, they were a little confident, so they immediately found the Fengchi Group and were willing to cooperate with the Fengchi Group, in fact, they wanted to be protected.

There are newcomers on the sea, and of course you have to worship the pier!

Guo Dan pondered for a while and said, "You go and talk to them in person, what we want is not cooperation, but integration." ”

Li Tong's expression was stunned, and he said: "General manager, judging from the current strength, I don't think they will refuse, if they don't have our permission, their fleet can't even get out of the port, but as for their small broken ships, we don't need to merge into them, it's too cheap for them." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "But we don't have the ability to go to sea yet, and we need their help and learn from them about this." ”

Li Tong nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Guo Dan said: "In addition, you must immediately open up a route from Luzon and Yuegang to Tianjin Wei to ensure that a large amount of grain can be transported to Tianjin Wei every year." ”

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "What does the proprietor mean, using sea transportation instead of Cao Yun?" ”

Guo Dan nodded, said: "The cost of Cao Yun is high, the risk is low, but the cost of Cao Yun is difficult to come down, however, the cost of shipping is low, the risk is high, but I think those risks can be completely overcome, once we overcome those risks at sea, we will get a lot of profits, this early investment, I don't mind how much it costs, I only have one requirement, that is, before the collapse of Cao Yun, to ensure that we have the ability to supply the food needs of the north." ”

Li Tong said confidently: "General manager, please rest assured, this is not a problem. ”

At the beginning, they basically knelt in front of Caoyun, shouting Caoyun's father every day, they would rather make less money than dare to rob Caoyun's interests, but thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

Now that his strength has come up, Guo Dan's attitude has naturally changed.

If you don't sign a father-son contract, how can you always call your father.

Businessmen are so realistic.

Now it's not Caoyun's father, but to choose a good cemetery for Caoyun and bury Caoyun as soon as possible.

Cao Yun had to be dismembered, which Guo Dan had planned long ago and had been approved by Wanli, because if Cao Yun was not dismembered, it would seriously hinder the development of commerce and put the emperor under checks and balances.

It's not good for them at all.

Cao Yun must die.

Before the original Luzon plan, Guo Dan had already allocated 300,000 taels to Fuzhou to purchase goods and ships, and the purchase of ships was prepared to replace Caoyun.
