If it was before, Zhou Feng and they would definitely not believe Guo Dan, not to mention that you hinted, even if you made it clear and swore to the sky, it would be impossible to believe Guo Dan, after all, they were just some small businessmen, how could they think that Guo Dan could fight the minister.

It's impossible.

It is precisely because of this that they have repeatedly missed opportunities, and Guo Dan asked them to invest several times, but they all chose to retreat because of the relationship with the imperial court, resulting in the benefits being taken by Guo Dan.

With so many lessons, this time Guo Dan just hinted, and they all believed Guo Dan.

But the pillow man was very worried about this, and after Zhou Feng and the others left, Kou Lian came to the office and said worriedly: "Husband, are you really sure?" I've heard that this time the court has used all the means at its disposal against you. ”

Although he knew about Liu Zongcheng's alliance with Guo Dan, she didn't expect it to make such a big fuss.

Guo said lightly: "Madam, if you spread this question, it will hurt us more than all the other party's means, this joint-stock system is most afraid of your worries, we must show strong self-confidence, and must not have a trace of timidity." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "In terms of strength, it is impossible for us to win. But this narrow road meets, the brave wins, at this time it is determination, courage is courage, it is will, strength only exists on the surface, who will persist to the end, who is the final winner. ”

Kou Zhuansha was puzzled: "In this way, the husband is not sure of victory, in this case, why does the husband still do this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "This is because Weihui Mansion is too dependent on import and export, if I don't personally lead this matter, then when we become stronger, they will definitely use this to target Weihui Mansion, and the situation will be even worse at that time." This is a tough battle, and it is also a battle that we must fight, of course, if we can win it, we will get huge profits, even in terms of benefits and risks, this battle is worth fighting. ”

Kou Zhuansha nodded slightly, no businessman had ever done this, and it was naturally unprecedented to encounter difficulties, and it was impossible to dodge, and asked, "Then how should we deal with it next?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Of course, it is a war of words with the imperial court, which is one of our advantages, after all, the reputation of the imperial court is not as good as that of a liar." ”

......

At the same time, fast horses in the suburbs set off from the capital and rushed to various states and counties.

Because many ministers in the DPRK and China have a close relationship with local officials, they can be said to be grasshoppers on a rope, just like Cheng Gui of the Daimyo Mansion was a person of Shen Shixing.

The ministers hurriedly had to get in touch with the local officials and explain all this to them, we know that the new tariffs will also hurt you, but they must not disobey the yang and the yin, we are going to deal with Guo Dan, and after Guo Dan, an outsider, falls, everything will be discussed internally.

If Guo Dan doesn't fall, we won't be happy.

If this point is not explained clearly, it will be difficult to implement the new tariffs, because this change is not communicated with the local authorities in advance, and is directly decided by the central government, and Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue do not have supreme power, and must rely on Guo Dan's threats to promote reform.

The reason why the imperial court is in a hurry to promote the new law is that it is reluctant to take the time to communicate with the local government, first of all, because at the level of dealing with Guo Dan, everyone has a tacit understanding, and the ministers think that the local government must support it. Secondly, it was because they hoped to promulgate a new law before the five-gun shareholding system, so as to severely damage Guo Dan and win the first battle.

After the new law passed Wanli's approval, the ministers also learned from Guo Dan's previous routine and slowly began to release news.

Put them one by one.

Continue to put pressure on Guo Dan.

Moreover, they were caught between two sides, and the imperial court promulgated policies to expound the new law from the perspective of Wei Guangzheng.

We are not targeting anyone, the new law is to help businessmen, benefit the people, and enhance the strength of the country.

We will raise taxes on the goods of the rich, and we will reduce taxes on goods related to ordinary people.

In fact, it has not been reduced, and the basic tax of 30 taxes and 1 has been maintained, but all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been omitted.

And Shilin gave a briefing on the people, telling the people how these policies would affect Weihui Mansion.

This public opinion offensive is like a stormy wave, surging towards Yinuoyaxing.

And Guo Dan also fought back against this, he also spread public opinion, and he asked people to let out all the exchanges in the East Pavilion that day.

What Guo Dan said, the imperial court's change of law this time will definitely fail.

Thirty taxes are such a simple commercial tax, they are all a mess, how can they be able to complete this complex tariff.

Not to mention them, businessmen have become difficult to calculate the cost.

The businessman also said that Guo Dan was very right, and this is really complicated.

Many luxury goods are unvaluable, and who knows if the imperial court will deliberately tax them at high prices!

At this time, Liu Zongcheng stood up on behalf of the imperial court and said that everyone does not need to worry, the price of Liujiaya Bank has always been very accurate, and it will never be overestimated or underestimated.

At this time, Guo Dan released another exciting news, that is, 100,000 taels will be invested next year to expand the transportation team.

What is this for?

The court restricts trade, but you want to expand transportation.

But soon some people understood that this was to expand transportation, and Guo Dan was preparing to take over the commercial tax.

The tariffs have not yet been implemented, and the two sides are already needle-to-needle.

It's so exciting!

also happy to kill those unrelated and very boring melon-eating masses.

......

Drunken Tower!

"Yo! Rare guests! Rare guest! Brother Zhou, why did he have the time to come to me today? ”

Cao Da arched his hand towards Zhou Feng, who had just come to the Drunken Sky Tower, with a surprised expression.

Zhou Fenger didn't say a word, grabbed Cao Da's sleeve, came to the corner on the side, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?" ”

Cao Da was stunned and said, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhou Feng sighed: "Of course it's about the new tariff, what do your customers here say?" ”

Cao Da wondered: "Brother Zhou, you also own a restaurant, why did you come to ask me?" ”

Zhou Feng sighed: "My clients, they are all ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, scholars, unlike you here, ......!" ”

Cao Da said angrily: "I'm all beggars here? ”

Zhou Feng was slightly stunned and said: "Brother, don't compete with me at this time, I didn't say that your customers are all beggars, but if you think about it, can the minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee say good things?" To tell you the truth, if you stay with me for an hour, I guess you will sell all the shares in your hands. ”

Cao Da saw that Zhou Feng really didn't mean to humiliate himself, so he looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, I'm similar here, and many people think that this will cause Guo Dan to get into trouble." ”

"Really?"

Zhou Feng was taken aback.

Cao Da nodded.

Zhou Feng remembered clapping his palms with the back of his hand, "How is this good, the five guns will soon be share-shared, and our tooth shop will also increase shares and split shares, or let's go to the tooth shop and ask?" ”

Cao Dadao: "It's useless to ask about this, Guo Dan's news is better than ours, can he not know?" Let's wait and see if Guo Dan will postpone the shareholding system. ”

......

They were nervous, and so was the cabinet.

Guo Dan can't afford to lose this time, and they can't afford to lose either!

If the stock price can be suppressed, it will be a huge morale boost.

Therefore, Wang Xijue called Song Jingsheng and Li Zhi to the East Pavilion to inquire about the situation, "Song Shilang, Li Yushi, how is the situation of the people now?" ”

Song Jingsheng said excitedly: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, this time the imperial court aims to benefit the people, and the new tariff is also beneficial to the people, so many people support the imperial court." ”

Wang Xijue was a little incredulous, and said, "Really? ”

Li Zhi said: "Yes, we also specially sent people to various restaurants and tea shops to inquire, and many people are not optimistic about Yinuoyaxing. ”

At this moment, a little eunuch walked into the room and whispered a few words in Wang Xijue's ear.

Wang Xijue's expression changed, then he nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”

The little eunuch bent down, and then withdrew.

Wang Xijue said to Song Jingsheng and Li Zhi: "The situation may not be so optimistic. ”

......

A no-tooth line.

"Husband, it seems that the public opinion outside is not very favorable to us, not only Shilin, but also many people are not optimistic about us."

Kou Zhuan said solemnly.

Guo smiled lightly: "Madam, this news is divided into upper and lower. ”

"Up and down?"

Kou Zhuansha wondered.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "The news floating on it is actually worthless, it's just some mouthpieces, after all, our family has a big business and makes a lot of money, many people are jealous of us, this kind of rich and poor mentality is human nature."

But this kind of news does not have a great impact on us, because people who can buy shares will not be affected by the remarks of these people, they will judge according to the real news and their own experience, we mainly want to know what these people think, this is the news that sinks at the bottom and is very valuable. ”

As he spoke, he took out a report and handed it to Kou Zhuansha, saying: "This is the news I entrusted Xinxing to investigate, this report alone cost me nearly three thousand taels, and the imperial court sent a few officials to the tea shop and restaurant to inquire, hehe, this is not listening to books." ”

Kou Liansha picked up the report with curiosity, and at a glance, it was all full of professional atmosphere.

There were 2,000 people in total, and they asked about the subject's identity, age, occupation, location, and so on.

They were all merchants, landlords, and some aristocratic sons.

Whether it is occupation, place of residence, or even age, it is very average.

Guo Dan smiled slightly: "Judging from this report, nearly eighty percent of the big landlords over forty years old are not optimistic about us, but the small and medium-sized landlords are just the opposite, and the younger generation, whether they are the sons of the landlords or the sons of the powerful families, also have seventy percent of them are interested in our shares, and the businessmen are even more eighty percent."

Those old landlords, in fact, are not optimistic about us at ordinary times, because they are obsessed with land and silver, and it is impossible for them to take out the money to buy a pile of paper, and the policies of the imperial court do not have much impact on them. And small and medium-sized landlords, because the land has been solidified, it is already very difficult for them to continue to annex the land, they have to find another way, and our shares are very attractive to them.

Needless to say, businessmen can not only increase their wealth by buying our shares, but also gain personal connections and a large platform. As for the young people, the temptation of the five guns was too great for them.

Madame, why do you look at me like that? ”

After speaking, Guo Dan suddenly found that Kou Zhuansha had lost his demeanor as a president, and instead of reading the report and listening to the analysis, he looked at him blankly.

"It's nothing, I'm just listening to you."

Kou Liansha was slightly stunned, her head shook slightly, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Guo Dan looked at her and blushed, and said, "Madam, are you hinting that you are going to have an event at night?" ”

Kou Zhuansha was stunned, and then chirped: "Indecent." ”

It turned out that what attracted Guo Dan the most was not Guo Dan's sweet words, let alone his hippie smile, or even his concern, but when he worked hard.
