Chapter 131: Collusion

'Hmph, you can't just be so cheap with the surname Wang. With so many people testifying, there is no fear that he will break the contract. Yang Hanyan had long seen that Wang Guanlin was not pleasing to the eye, and deliberately fanned the yin wind and ignited the ghost fire on the side, and persuaded Li Zhongyi to take the initiative to find trouble with Wang Guanlin.

Li Youzhong shook his head secretly, and he said in his heart, your Yang family is powerful, so naturally you are not afraid of the Wang family's revenge. Li Zhongyi is just cloth clothes, and if the Wang family wants to secretly find a corner, it will not be easy at all.

Li Zhongyi is not afraid of offending Wang Guanlin, he is now Zhou Chen, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is not a few years away from the death of the country, what is there to fear?

Otherwise, it is better to say that if you make money to buy food, how to smuggle it back to Da Zhou is indeed a problem.

This kind of knotty eye, it is naturally better to have more than one thing, so as not to cause trouble and damage the overall situation!

The big husband has something to do and something not to do!

"Zixia, you have to spare people, and spare people, don't force people to jump off the wall." Li Zhongyi persuaded Yang Hanyan seriously.

Yang Hanyan, who was looking at Zixia, couldn't help it, and giggled, this Li Wuyi is really bad, and he doesn't scold people with dirty words.

Li Youzhong smiled slightly, this Li Wuyi is indeed a wonderful person, not only is he a high fighter, but he also has a level of scolding, only when the dog is in a hurry, he jumps off the wall, right?

The three of them laughed for a while, but Li Zhongyi saw Li Xiaoqi holding a large stack of sealed envelopes and walking into the flower hall.

Li Xiaoqi put a thick stack of envelopes in front of Li Zhongyi and whispered: "Several big businessmen made their own bids, and some small and medium-sized businessmen, in groups of three or five, decided to make a joint bid. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, thinking to himself, it is worthy of the prosperous Southern Tang Dynasty, in order to get high profits, a medium-sized businessman would actually think of setting up a joint venture firm, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

Since ancient times, most of the Chinese merchants like to eat alone, and there are few merchants with a spirit of cooperation. 、

Unexpectedly, the merchants here in Nantang are very open. Knowing that he could not win the monopoly of paper products that meant high profits by relying on his own strength, he simply got together to bid for three or five friends.

These businessmen in the Southern Tang Dynasty decided to pay dividends according to the proportion of their capital contributions, which was already a joint-stock private enterprise in the embryonic stage.

'Xiao Qi, these things will be left to you to deal with. Li Zhongyi looked at the dense envelopes, and already knew that the bidding paper had won a big victory, and there was no need to ruin the noble image of the elegant Confucian scholars in front of Li Zhong and Yang Hanyan.

Li Youzhong nodded secretly, a gentleman loves money in a good way, but he can't get into the eyes of money and stir up the smell of copper all over his body.

Yang Hanyan is also very satisfied with Li Zhongyi's attitude of "shameful businessman", such a talented Mr. Li can't be taught bad by lowly businessmen.

That night, Li Zhongyi listened to Li Xiaoqi's report, and couldn't help but smile slightly, the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty are really rich.

In just the Jiangdu Mansion where Ye Xianghua won the bid, he paid one million yuan in advance in one go, and his financial resources are really amazing.

However, Li Zhongyi thought about it carefully, and he didn't find it strange. When it comes to the strength of the armed forces, it is naturally the Hou Zhou Niu B who is the lord of the country

However, in terms of cultural governance and education, whether it was the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was at the height of its literary style, or Wu Yueguo, who was in a corner of peace, its emphasis on Cheng DΓΉ was far stronger than that of the Later Zhou Dynasty when Wufu was the country.

To Li Zhongyi's surprise, among the businessmen present today, there were actually wealthy businessmen from Wu Yueguo, who participated in the bidding, and their shots were also extraordinary.

In Xifu (Hangzhou) alone, there is a businessman named Ma Dayong, whose bid is roughly the same as Ye Xianghua's.

Moreover, Yuezhou (Shaoxing) in Dongfu was also won by this one named Ma Dayong, and the two advances were added together, and Ma Dayong actually took out 1.3 million yuan in one go.

Li Zhongyi was very interested in Ye Xianghua and Ma Dayong, two wealthy businessmen, so he ordered Li Xiaoqi to send an invitation and invite them to come to the house the day after tomorrow.

On the third day, Ye Xianghua and Ma Dayong came as promised. However, there was a strange guest, and it also followed.

When Li Zhongyi saw Yang Hanyan's figure, he couldn't help but have a headache. He thought to himself, can't you just come quietly?

If Yang Hanyan is a woman from an ordinary family, Li Zhongyi will accept her as a concubine, but it will be arbitrary.

It's just that this Yang Hanyan's family background is extremely prominent, and her father is a well-known Southern Tang Dynasty and Dongdu left behind Yang Zhiqiu.

As Yang Zhiqiu, he would rather kill Yang Hanyan than make his only daughter Li Zhongyi's concubine.

Even so, Li Zhongyi will not have any worries, and after the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed, there will be no obstacles.

The real problem is that Li Zhongyi's main wife "Little Zhou Hou", her father Zhou Zong, is the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Once, Zhou Zong now heard that Li Zhongyi actually had a personal affair with Yang Hanyan, and Li Zhongyi and Xiao Zhouhou's family affairs should be properly ruined.

At least, before Li Zhongyi brought Xiao Zhouhou back to the north, it was impossible for him to have a public affair with Yang Hanyan.

"Zixia, do you go to the study to see the calligraphy and painting first?" Li Zhongyi wanted to beat Yang Hanyan away, so that he could talk about business with Ma Dayong and Ye Xianghua.

Yang Hanyan nodded and took the initiative to follow the maid to the study.

Ye Xianghua and Ma Dayong both know Yang Hanyan, and they both know Yang Hanyan's temper, like a rouge horse without the reins.

Seeing Yang Hanyan being such a "lady" in front of Li Zhongyi, the two of them will inevitably think crookedly.

"Ye Gong, you have so much confidence in this big white linen paper?" Li Zhongyi asked Ye Xianghua with a smile.

Ye Xianghua withdrew his gaze at Yang Hanyan's back, and explained with a smile: "A few days ago, at the Shangqing Palace Cultural Meeting, in the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of thousands of purchases. Once this paper is fully rolled out, how popular it is? ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, this Ye Xianghua is a wonderful person, and what he said is also very straightforward.

Ma Dayong saw Li Zhongyi's gaze, grinned, and said: "I know Li Gong's doubts, hehe, Wu Yue is indeed a small country, but well, there are more than fifty percent more Hu merchants in Xifu than in this Jiangdu Mansion." ”

Seeing that Li Zhongyi listened with great interest, Ma Dayong smiled and said: "The Great Zhou Chongwu in the north, the Tang State Chongwen in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lord of my Wu Yue are very fond of doing business, especially with Hu Shang from the sea. ”

Ma Dayong's statement is easy to understand, Li Zhongyi couldn't help nodding again and again, it seems that this time he went down to Jiangdu, but it was very correct and very coincidental.

"Don't hide it from Gong Li, these Hu Shang's favorite things, in addition to porcelain and silk, are good paper products." Ma Dayong took a sip of tea and raised his hand to wipe the water marks on the side of his mouth, "It's not Ma who boasted, Li Gong, how many of these big white linen papers, you dare to pat your chest and sell it out." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled faintly, this Ma Dayong seems to be rude and uninformed, but in fact, his mind is very delicate.

Since Ma Dashang dared to say what Hu Shang wanted, this showed that he was not worried about Li Zhongyi going to do a deal directly with Hu Shang.

Well, too, just from Ma Dayong's abundant financial resources of one million, it is conceivable how big is the business scale between him and the Hu businessmen from the Arab side? How deep is his relationship with Wu Yueguo's official?

Ye Xianghua couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Zhongyi coming over, and said, "I don't have a close relationship with maritime merchants like Ma Dongzhu. However, the elders in the lower clan have a very good relationship with the famous Shilin families in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

This Ye Xianghua said very politely, in fact, he wanted to tell Li Zhongyi that his Ye family and the local officialdom have a deep relationship.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Xianghua dared to take out so much money in one go to buy out the exclusive right to sell paper products in the entire Jiangdu Mansion.

As long as it is a local tyrant who does big business, fools know that monopoly brings huge profits.

The two big tyrants in front of him are both people who understand, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, this is easy to talk about.

"There are too many copper coins in my hand, so I have to carry some good things back." Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and told the truth.

Ye Xianghua's eyes flashed, although Li Zhongyi was crazy when he said this, he was also qualified to be so crazy.

Ma Dayong didn't seem to be humming, but his brain was very good, he immediately arched his hands and said, "I don't know what kind of goods Li Gong wants to buy to go north?" If there is anyone who can help, please do not hesitate to ask. ”

Ye Xianghua suddenly woke up to the fact that Li Zhongyi's exclusive right to sell the paper products in this auction was at least worth more than 10 million yuan just for the goods paid in advance by merchants in various states and the silk, linen, silk, gold and silver that had arrived.

What businessmen value most is the frequency of capital circulation, it is conceivable that Li Zhongyi has such a large sum of money in his hands, it is definitely impossible to come to Nantang for nothing, right?

"I don't know if Gong Li has a plan to buy goods?" Not to be outdone, Ye Xianghua took the initiative to ask Li Zhongyi, what goods do you want to buy?

"I wonder what specialties you have?" Li Zhongyi pretended to be confused, and deliberately asked Ye Xianghua.

Ye Xianghua thought about it, and he really didn't have too many specialties, which was enough to digest the huge wealth that Li Zhongyi had in hand.

Ma Dayong said without any scruples: "I heard that the Great Zhou in the north is strict in the lack of grain, and if the grain is transported to the north, it will definitely be rich." ”

This statement hit Li Zhongyi's heart, but Li Zhongyi shook his head and said: "Transporting grain to the north is a felony to lose your head." ”

Ma Dayong sighed and said: "The main reason is that I am not familiar with the sailors and generals of the Zhou State, otherwise, I would have transported grain across the river a long time ago." ”

Ye Xianghua frowned and said: "In the past few years, the grain of the Tang Kingdom has been bumper every year, and alas, the price of grain has become more and more cheap. Don't hide it from Li Gong and Ma Gong, in the granary below, at least hundreds of thousands of stone grains have been piled up, and they are almost out of place. ”

"It's just that such a large amount of grain is transported out of the river, which will inevitably alarm the sailor." Ye Xianghua didn't mention the matter of not selling grain, but he was worried that the water master would do bad things.

Li Zhongyi secretly felt funny, the reason why he wanted to call Ma Dayong and Ye Xianghua together was to have a competitive relationship.

Merchants do not have a homeland, and this sentence is common both now and in future generations.

Marx quoted Dunninger's sentence and said it brilliantly and hit the nail on the head: with a profit of 3oo, people will not be afraid of crime, or even the danger of hanging. r1152
