Looking at the post in his hand, Zhang Yao was a little unsure whether the news was good or bad. Fingers tapped on the table, thinking about what to do. The big shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce on the side saw that Zhang Yao was a little hesitant after reading the post, so he asked, "President, what did this post say?" ”

Handing over the post in his hand, Zhang Yao said: "Liansheng, you can help me take a look and get an idea, what does this Yasukuni Gong mean?" ”

Du Liansheng opened the invitation and looked slowly, and after a while, Du Liansheng raised his head and said, "You can try it." ”

"Why?" Zhang Yao asked.

"The West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce is in a predicament right now, President, we now need a strong backer to confront foreign enemies." Du Liansheng explained: "The Wei family in Jizhou is sure that our West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce is helpless, they have the help of Xiao Guogong behind them, and our West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce is in such a situation that it has been spelled out step by step, and the relationship we have maintained over the years will not help us for a few silver coins at all." It is not a good thing to be eaten by his Wei family. Let's not consider what this Yasukuni Duke means at this time, but we really can't afford to offend the second magnate. ”

"What if this Yasukuni Gong wants to swallow my West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce?" Zhang Yao was a little hesitant.

"It's better than his Wei family swallowing, and the president must not forget the faces of those families. Besides, the Yasukuni Mansion has a good reputation in Beijing, and you don't know much about it when you first come to Xijing. Du Liansheng said.

"The Yasukuni Mansion has not been buying foreign properties for generations, and now it suddenly comes to the door, will they go against the Wei family for our Western Sichuan Chamber of Commerce?" Zhang Yao said.

"Not fighting doesn't mean that there is no ability, now there are only a few people in charge of military power, the Yasukuni Mansion is the Shangzhu State, and the Ling Guifei, who is favored by the saints today, is also the sister of the Yasukuni Gong. If this person wants to walk sideways in Beijing, no one dares to step forward and touch his moldy head. Du Liansheng explained.

"But this Yasukuni Gong said that he wanted to do business with us, you must know that the Yasukuni Mansion did not operate industries outside, and it was clearly a white wolf with empty gloves." Zhang Yao smiled bitterly.

"Even if that's the case, can we get out of the way? It's better to talk to him, in case it is a good deal, let's not talk about how much we can make, and if the Yasukuni Gong is satisfied, we will also have help in the future. It will not be slaughtered right now. Du Liansheng persuaded.

"Then we will meet, and you will come with me to the banquet tonight." After Zhang Yao made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and ordered to walk towards the backyard.

Just after nightfall, Zhang Yao and Du Liansheng rushed to the Yasukuni Mansion, handed the prayer note to the guard at the door, and waited outside the door, and after a while, the servants in the mansion brought the two into the mansion. Zhang Yao thought about the meeting later, if Yasukuni was determined to eat the West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce in one bite, he would be powerless, but as Du Liansheng said, it was better than being eaten by his Wei family.

Brought into the guest room, after the little servant retreated, Zhang Yao looked at the furnishings in the house, and the furnishings in the house were so simple that the two of them forgot that this was the mansion of a prince for a while.

"Look at the layout of this house, if the regulations are like this, we businessmen are afraid that we businessmen will have the big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan," Zhang Yao shook his head and said.

"It seems that the rumors about the Yasukuni Gong are not like a fake." Du Liansheng said.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Lin Yuan pushed the door in, Zhang Yao and the others looked at the door, and secretly said hello, it is worthy of a family of generations of military generals, Lin Yuan is heroic, but there are not many frivolities in young people.

"I've kept you two waiting." Lin Yuan said.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm invited, and the two of us disturbed it." Zhang Yao and Du Liansheng hurriedly returned the gift.

Lin Yuan saw that the two of them reacted for a while, and then remembered that in Da Zhou, the status of businessmen was not too high, so he shook his head helplessly, and after inviting the two of them to sit down, he asked: "The post said that I wanted to invite the two of you because there was a deal to do." ”

"Sure enough, I just don't know if this business is hot." Zhang Yao thought to himself.

Taking the drawings from Yu Shi's hands and handing them to Zhang Yao, Lin Yuan said, "You guys take a look at the drawings first, and then talk about them." After taking the drawing, Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment, touched the pattern with his hand, and muttered: "It turned out to be graphite." "The drawings are not complicated, they are different from other paintings, and they are more three-dimensional, but Zhang Yao and Du Liansheng don't know what they are for.

Lin Yuan sipped the tea, observed the expressions of Zhang Yao and the others, and saw that the two of them didn't quite understand the effect of the things they painted, and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the two put down the drawings in their hands, they said, "Can you see clearly?" ”

"I see it clearly, but I don't know what it's for." Zhang Yao replied.

"I heard that your West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in cast iron, and there are a lot of iron ore in your hands?" Lin Yuan asked, but these words fell into Zhang Yao's ears like a thunderbolt from the sky, sure enough, how can Xungui have a good relationship, this is afraid that he has taken a fancy to his own iron mine.

"Yasukuni Gong, iron ore is the lifeblood of our Chamber of Commerce, and it will not be sold." Zhang Yao said bitterly.

Lin Yuan was stunned, when did he say that he wanted iron ore, and said, "When did I say that I wanted to buy your iron ore?" ”

"Then you ask me what happened to the iron mines?" Zhang Yao wondered.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Just for the sake of the things drawn on the map in your hand, I just asked how much iron ore your Chamber of Commerce produces annually?" ”

Zhang Yao knew that he would be wrong, so he made a rough calculation in his heart and replied: "Minerals are mainly concentrated in Sichuanzhou, with an annual output of about eight million catties. ”

That is, about 4,000 tons, although the output is much worse than the previous life, I think it is also the top in Dazhou. Lin Yuan calculated and said, "What I showed you is a kind of stove, which is mainly used for heating, and can also be used to boil water for cooking." The important thing is that the problem of carbon toxicity can be solved. A large amount of iron is required to craft. After a pause at this point, seeing that Zhang Yao was unmoved, Lin Yuan continued: "Does President Zhang know how many people I have in Dazhou?" ”

"This..."Zhang Yao didn't know why Lin Yuan asked such a question, and was ashamed: "The villain still doesn't know how many there are under the rule of the Great Zhou, but in Yuzhou alone, there are already 8 million households. ”

Lin Yuan had checked the population under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty once, and he had a foundation in his heart, and said with a smile: "The cost of this utensil is low, but the demand is too great, and the profit is still considerable in the short term. ”

Zhang Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this, but it dimmed again in an instant, and said, "Since Grandpa knows that this artifact is very easy to imitate and the cost is extremely low, aren't you afraid that others will do the same?" As soon as Zhang Yao's words fell, Yu Shi, who was standing beside Lin Yuan, said coldly: "If you dare to stretch out your hand, you must be ready to be chopped." ”

The corners of Zhang Yao's eyes twitched, who is this muddy person? Turning his head to look at Lin Yuan, who was quietly drinking tea, the atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down. Putting down the teacup, Lin Yuan looked at Yu Shi: "Don't be rude, my Lin family has not yet reached the point where I can cover the sky with one hand in Beijing." ”

When Zhang Yao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that this grandfather is not a reckless person. Lin Yuan continued: "When you encounter people and troubles, you must reason with them and talk about the laws of the Great Zhou." If you listen well, if you don't, tell him with your fists. ”

"Yes, Grandpa. The subordinates got it. ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yao and the others, and said with a smile: "Do you think this business can't be done now?" ”

Zhang Yao thought in his heart, the Chamber of Commerce was already in a predicament, and it was a death both horizontally and vertically, so it was better to see if the road of Yasukuni Gong would not work, and after thinking for a moment, Zhang Yao raised his head and said: "I don't know who will be in charge of this transaction?" ”

Lin Yuan listened to it and knew that this matter had become the majority, and said with a smile: "Except for sending one person to keep an eye on the flow of money, this government is not meddling in anything, and this grandfather is a technical shareholder." ”

Zhang Yao was confused when he heard this, he had already done a good job of the Lin family's meddling in the Chamber of Commerce, but he only sent someone to manage the accounts. thought that this was Lin Yuan's trust in himself, that is, an old friend who had been in business for many years, and he was not so generous, but how did he know that Lin Yuan had no one in his hands to do this, and besides, which one of the unsightly dared to blacken the country's silver.

"In this way, an agreement is signed and dividends are paid monthly." After negotiating the details of cooperation, Du Liansheng wrote, and Lin Yuan signed his first agreement in this world. After sending Zhang Yao and the others away, Lin Yuan was a little tired, so he went back to his room early to rest, tomorrow is a major event for him to negotiate with the powerful in the real sense, and he must have enough energy to do it.
