Chapter 217: The Power of Power
"Master, master......" Luo Ming's voice came from outside the courtyard.
Cao Yan put down the pen in his hand, stood up and stretched, and walked out of the study.
Seeing that Luo Ming was in a hurry, he ran in.
"What's the matter?" Cao Yan looked at Luo Ming suspiciously: "By the way, why don't you knit sweaters at home today." ”
Luo Ming was obviously stunned, his expression was a little stiff, and then complained: "Don't weave, now let them all change to down jackets, and those who have time will go to knit it, by the way, the master will help me think about it early next time I have a good idea, you know that I am dreaming of knitting sweaters now." ”
This is a bit miserable, Cao Yan smiled secretly and asked, "By the way, what are you?" ”
Luo Ming heard Cao Yan's inquiry, and hurriedly patted his head, "Look at my memory, I was made by this knitted sweater, master, hurry up, let's go see the excitement." ”
"Watching the excitement?" Cao Yan instantly remembered the excitement of Jiang Hongtu's house last time, and asked, "Whose house is it this time?" ”
"This time it's not anyone's house, it's the excitement of a trading house." Luo Ming gloated a little and said with a sneer.
"The firm?" Seeing Luo Ming's demeanor, Cao Yan also came to ask with interest.
"Guess?"
This ghost guessed, Cao Yan didn't usually care much about these things, and after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head.
"Cui Juncai and the Bai family made a joint firm." Seeing that Cao Yan was still puzzled, Luo Ming suddenly remembered that it seemed that this business firm was only made by Cao Yan in the past two months, and after secretly scolding himself for being confused, Luo Ming continued: "Let's talk about it while we walk on the road." ”
Luo Ming pulled Cao Yan and walked to his own carriage outside.
……
In the carriage, after listening to Luo Ming's introduction, Cao Yan couldn't believe it.
"You mean, that Cai Xiangguo's housekeeper, who transported hundreds of thousands of goods back to Beijing this time, was robbed halfway, and he blamed the United Commercial Bank for making the carriage of the horse was not up to standard, so they couldn't run fast, so they were robbed?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means," Luo Ming nodded, and continued to add: "And most of them are still the master's sought-after goods, now these things can be multiplied several times as long as they are transported to Jingshi, you don't know the situation when you are not at home in the past two months, some time ago, as long as the business house brought goods, they basically bought them all without even entering the store at the door, during that time, I don't know how many people in the city secretly hated them to death." ”
"But this is a carriage, if you encounter a robbery, your carriage will run fast or die." Cao Yan felt speechless, this is a typical, no wonder the earth has no gravity.
"It doesn't matter at all, according to them, they originally calculated the distance, but when the carriages sold by the United Trading House got there, many of them were overwhelmed and broken, and they wasted a lot of time repairing the carriages."
"But they didn't force him to buy it with a knife!" Cao Yan continued to argue.
Luo Ming's face darkened a little, he stared at Cao Yan and hurriedly asked, "Master, where are you from?" ”
This question made Cao Yan stunned for a moment, yes! Shouldn't you be laughing and going to the theater now?
Cao Yan rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not worrying, we will also be yin by them in the future, rehearse it in advance, how should we go back!" ”
"Master, you don't have to be careful about this, not to mention that we have the shares of the prince's family here, even my family and several other families are not something they can handle casually." Luo Ming's confidence is also strong, after all, there are several shareholders here who are official eunuchs, and they are not so easy to be bullied.
Cao Yan smiled, it's really like this, not to mention their families, they really pushed themselves into a hurry, and they could let the whole family who offended them take a dirt plane to play.
"Now, what kind of charter is it?" Cao Yan asked.
"Steward Cai wants to compensate them for their injuries by one million yuan in conjunction with the firm, otherwise they will be good-looking."
This is a typical oppression of people with power, "Didn't you say hundreds of thousands of goods?" Cao Yan remembered that Luo Ming had said about the loss earlier.
"They set the price according to the capital!"
Hold the grass! What can Cao Yan say about this? This is the Ming robbery.
"By the way, what did the county lord say?" Cao Yan asked, after all, it was Xiang Yixin who protected these people in Jiangning Mansion in the past, so that those second ancestors did not dare to be arrogant, and this time it is obvious that he is oppressing people with power, it stands to reason that Xiang Yixin should be able to say a few words, right?
"County Lord, hehe, you have been out for the past few months, I am afraid that you don't know some things, do you know what they said when they established this joint trading house?" Luo Ming asked with a sneer.
"What did you say?" Seeing Luo Ming's expression, Cao Yan knew that this was not good.
"She is not the only heir of the Empress of Great Chu, and Xiang Yixin is the only one...... Hehe, how about that? Luo Ming's face was filled with an expression of admiration.
This...... It's death! Saying this in this part of Jiangning Mansion, they are afraid that they don't know how to write dead characters, right?
Cao Yan was completely shocked, if Xiang Yixin didn't remember his previous suspicions to help them, then Cao Yan would consider finding another home, so he hurriedly asked, "Does the county lord know about this?" ”
"I know it all, what do you say?"
"What is the attitude of the county lord?"
"Hey, hey!" Luo Ming sneered a few times.
Cao Yan understood that the housekeeper of Cai Xiangguo's country dared to be so arrogant, he must have visited Xiang Wangfu before, and after getting some hints from Xiang Wangfu, he dared to be so arrogant after receiving some hints from Xiang Wangfu's assurances that he would not participate in this matter, after all, this place is the territory of Xiang Yixin's family, without her nodding, how dare others be so arrogant!
"Now, what are the United Firms going to do? Sue? Cao Yan asked.
Hearing this, Luo Ming turned his head and looked at Cao Yan stupidly, as if he couldn't understand Cao Yan.
Cao Yan patted his head and smiled embarrassedly, sister, he even thought that it was a legal society: "Then they are ready to lose money?" ”
"Isn't that obvious?" Luo Ming was a little speechless.
"What's there to see?" When Cao Yan heard that they were going to lose money, he lost any interest.
"Nothing to see? Master, do you have some misunderstanding about losing 1 million yuan? Luo Ming was completely speechless, his master, he shipped back tens of millions of taels of silver after going to sea for a few months, and distributed millions of taels to them, so he had some kind of misunderstanding about money?
"What? They can't afford to lose a million yuan in a commercial house? Cao Yan was a little puzzled.
"Actually, when we say that there is money, we are rich, but it is true that there is not much cash that can be taken out at once like a master, and many of them are fields and residences."
This is like how many millions of assets per capita in later generations at every turn, but in fact, after deducting the house, everyone will not have a few dollars left.
Seeing Cao Yan's clear expression, Luo Ming continued: "It just so happened that the master shared so much money at once this time, so we are ready to take advantage of it this time." ”
After a pause, Luo Ming then spoke: "This time, there must be a lot of fields outside the city that need to be sold, and when the time comes, we will buy them all, we have already said that when the time comes, we will plan and plan, and exchange these lands for the land near the master's field and distribute them to the master." ”。
"You have a heart, how sorry it is," Cao Yan's manor outside the city is now getting bigger and bigger.
"It should be that we are embarrassed, we invested so much money, and in less than three months, the master changed hands and quadrupled it back to us, and we can't help the master much with anything else, so we can only help this little favor." Luo Ming and the others knew that Cao Yan bought the land at every turn, and he and others couldn't help with other things, but it was no problem for Jiangning Mansion to buy some land.
