Chapter 818: People's hearts seek profit
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
When all the scholars and businessmen were silently planning to cheat and then use the lowest price to win the shares of the salt farm, the news of "national control of the salt farm" came out from now on, and it immediately caused a lot of scolding.
Of course, some people scold, and some people secretly rejoice......
If Fang Jun had released the news in advance, then everyone would have sharpened their heads and wanted to grab a share of the salt farm, instead of deliberately lowering the price and planning to fish in troubled waters. Well, now, as soon as this news comes out, those who have the shares in their hands will wake up from a proper dream and smile, and they will make money when they change hands!
Naturally, the people who have shares in their hands are the ones who steal the joy.
Needless to say, Fang Jun dared to release this news, which means that if he wants to set up another salt farm in Jiangnan at least in the future, he must obtain Fang Jun's consent. Don't say anything about the approval of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, with Fang Jun's current influence in Jiangnan and the big tree of the emperor standing behind him, it is simply a dream to set up another salt field without Fang Jun!
In this way, these people who have shares in their hands have to think carefully......
At first, I wanted to lower the price, although the price was reported, but everyone didn't have to come up with so much money, and you Fang Jun didn't have a problem, right? If you don't want the bamboo basket to be empty, then you can take as much money as you want, don't want to?
If you don't want to pull it down, Fang Jun will become the laughing stock of the world!
But now, who dares to say that they have no money?
If you don't want the shares in your hand, there will be too many "substitutes" to buy every minute!
No one is a fool, how can he give up the interests in his hands?
The current problem is not that Fang Jun will turn his face if he doesn't pay the money, but that he can't take back the shares by Fang Jun......
Some people are envious and some are worried, for a time, life is full of life in Jiangnan.
*****
Yangxian Zhou's successive dynasties produced many talents, from the early Han Dynasty Marquis Zhou Bo and Marquis Zhou Yafu, who were also once prominent. By the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Yangxian Zhou clan became more and more prosperous, and it had the reputation of "Jiangdong Haoqiang, no more than Zhou Shen", and the ranking was even before the Wuxing Shen clan, and its strength can be seen.
However, like most of the Jiangnan Shi clan, in the last years of the Southern Dynasties, they fell one after another, and when they arrived in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the momentum was even worse than before. Although it did not fall as quickly as the Langya Wang clan, it also shrank sharply, and its influence plummeted......
In the ancestral house of the Zhou family in Yangxian, an urgent family meeting is underway.
Outside the window, the drizzle is drizzling, the bamboo leaves are verdant, the azaleas in the corner of the courtyard are tufted and puffy, and the banana trees brought by Nanyang merchants last year have grown to a person's height, stretching their leaves in the drizzle, as big as a fan, verdant and dripping.
The tea in the big house is fragrant and the breeze is cool.
Zhou Zhang, the head of the Zhou family, is approaching this year, and his thin cheeks are clear and peaceful, and he is elegant.
Holding the tea that had just been poured out of the purple sand teapot in his hand, he took a sip lightly, closed his eyes and tasted it leisurely.
His expression here was sparse and careless, but Zhou Shu on the side couldn't help it.
Zhou Shu is nearly ten years younger than Zhou Ji, different from the thin and elegant clan brother, he has a strong bearing behind the broad shoulders of the child, and his temperament is also quite impatient, and he said loudly at this moment: "Oh, big brother, you should hurry up and come up with an idea!" ”
Zhou Ji raised his eyelids and chuckled: "Every time there is a big event, Brother Shu, you should also have a good life and cultivation, how old a person is, frizzy and irritable." ”
Zhou Shu was angry, glared and said, "What does this have to do with the city government?" Either hug up with the Jiangnan Shi clan, or completely fall to Fang Jun, no matter which choice is the consequence is unpredictable, this is a major matter related to the foundation of my Yangxian Zhou clan, how can I not be in a hurry? ”
Yangxian Zhou's blockbuster at the IPO immediately attracted the attention of the entire Jiangnan. Invitations and greetings followed, and even several families took the initiative to talk about the marriage of their juniors, and there were countless business cooperation intentions. When did you enjoy this kind of treatment in the past? I think it had to be a hundred years ago......
Zhou Shu is a straight person, he feels that this situation is very good now, so if it continues, maybe Yangxian Zhou will be able to "prote" in the hands of their generation!
Therefore, I am particularly concerned, and it is inevitable that I am a little anxious.
Zhou Ji smiled dumbly.
The other short and fat old man on one side had a gloomy face, and when he heard Zhou Shu's words, he said unhappily: "We have already discussed cooperation with the Gu family, if we turn to Fang Jun at this time, wouldn't it be treacherous and self-exclusion from the Jiangnan clan?" This must not be done. ”
Zhou Shu said angrily: "Is the Gu family a good thing?" It's just taking advantage of us. Now that the situation has changed, the salt farm will be controlled by the imperial court in the future, that is, a fragrant dumpling, and we can't grab it if we want to, do we have to spit out the fat that we have eaten in our mouths? That's the joke of the whole Gangnam! ”
He was inclined to eat the shares of these salt works at the price of the offer, after all, it was a real benefit. As for the Gu family's promise? It was too far away, and even if he was not known for his resourcefulness, he knew that no matter how beautiful the cake was, it was not as sweet as the fat in his mouth......
The short and fat old man frowned and reprimanded: "The third child! You only see the immediate benefits, but if you offend the Gu family, it is equivalent to offending the entire Jiangnan Shi clan, and in the future, Fang Jun patted his ass and moved elsewhere, how can our Zhou family gain a foothold in Jiangdong? ”
Zhou Shu was silent.
The rest of the young people were obviously juniors in the Zhou clan, and they couldn't interject on this occasion, and they all knelt on one side respectfully, but their eyes flickered, and they were obviously very assertive.
Zhou Ji gently put the teacup on the coffee table in front of him, and said leisurely: "The Gu family, it can't represent the Jiangnan Shi clan, even if it's the Xiao family." Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty, can't the second brother see it? ”
The short and fat old man's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Big brother, do you want to tear up the agreement with the Gu family?" ”
Zhou Ji glanced at him lightly, and said lightly: "When did the Zhou family have an agreement with the Gu family?" It's just a temporary expedient measure, if it is advantageous, it will be peaceful, and if it is not profitable, what is the matter of verbal agreement? Even if it's a private agreement between you and the Gu family, it doesn't necessarily have to be in black and white, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly fell silent.
The short and fat old man's expression changed again, his eyes flickered, and he said in a weak heart: "I don't know what the eldest brother said?" What kind of private agreement will there be with the Gu family......"
Zhou Ji glanced at him deeply: "If people don't know unless they do it, the second brother promised the Gu family to try his best to trick the Zhou family into leaning against Fang Jun from the Gu family, and then the Gu family will fully support you to become the head of the Zhou family after a certain death, isn't there such a thing?" Hehe, it seems that the second brother is really forgetful. Brother Wei is very relieved in his heart, but the second brother, you didn't promise that Gu Zhu would poison me to death now, but you will not compete for the position of the head of the family until I die...... I don't know if you should be grateful to the second brother, you take care of the righteousness of your brother, so as to show mercy to your subordinates? ”
Later, his tone gradually changed.
Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, then he was furious, jumped up from the ground, kicked the short and fat old man to the ground with one kick, and scolded with his halberd finger: "Zhou Huai, you bastard who eats inside and out, wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, Lao Tzu will kill you today!" ”
As he spoke, a fist the size of an iron bowl slammed into Zhou Huai's face, and a muffled "bang" was accompanied by Zhou Huai's screams, and blood splashed. Zhou Shuwu was endless, waving his fist and raining down on Zhou Huai, regardless of his head and face, a good beating, Zhou Huai was caught off guard, and the beaten ghost cried wolf, begging for mercy again and again.
A few young people on one side couldn't sit still!
Among them is Zhou Huai's son, a young man in his twenties who doesn't know the inside story at all, and he doesn't know anything about competing for the position of the head of the family, but his father was beaten to death, but he couldn't bear it, and he paved it up with a strange scream, threw Zhou Shu to the ground, and fought in one place.
And the Zhou family's Changfang of Zhou Ji was naturally angry, what's the matter, wanting to take away the position of head of the family after my father's death? Is it tolerable or unbearable, this is simply the ambition of a wolf!
Naturally, they also rushed up to join the battle group and beat Zhou Huai's master.
There was a mess in the lobby.
The maids and servants guarding outside looked at each other, not knowing whether to go in and pull the rack......
