Chapter 237: Cooperation

Sun Manbo, who heard the news, was taken aback, and turned back and forth despite Shi Bin's side, completely at a loss.

Maybe he knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, so he turned around for a while and then asked the subordinate, "What are those bastards of the Salt Gang asking for?" Didn't I just pay the protection money the other day? ”

The next person seemed to have guessed what Sun Manbo was going to say, and was about to explain, but saw Shi Bin and Xu Feng talking and stopped. And Sun Manbo had long ignored these, as long as the subordinate had said the conditions for the salt gang to ransom earlier, so he shouted: "This is Boss Shi, my friend, it doesn't hurt if he knows these things." ”

After the subordinate spoke carefully, Shi Bin understood why the Salt Gang wanted to rob Sun Manbo's salt. Because the protection fee of official salt and private salt is different in the salt gang, he underreported the amount of official salt and overreported the amount of private salt, so he wanted to pay less protection money.

No wonder this Sun Manbo can become the largest salt merchant in Ezhou, he is really shrewd, and he is really a treacherous and cunning guy, Shi Bin secretly slandered himself.

Still looking at Sun Manbo with relish, he didn't think that he was gently rubbed by Xu Feng, and then Sun Manpo, who was in a hurry, turned his head to Xu Feng's side.

I saw Xu Feng winking at himself, staring at his belt, and only then did Shi Bin remember the black iron order placed in the bag on his waist. Shi Bin, who had been thinking about cooperation before, was blocked by Sun Manbo with the unspoken rule of 'must be able to help Ezhou salt merchants increase profits', and Shi Bin, who was in a very unhappy mood, never thought of using this black iron order to help them transport salt.

In Shi Bin's opinion, this is the treasure at the bottom of his box, and he can't share it with others, not to mention that he was rejected by that Sun Manbo, so he can't stick it upside down. So even if Xu Feng reminded Shi Bin, he was still very hesitant.

Help? Or don't help? Take the initiative yourself or let that Sun Manbo take the initiative? The answer soon came out: help, but it had to be Sun Manbo who came to beg for himself.

So how can you get that Sun Manbo to beg for himself? The black iron order is in the bag, and it is best for Sun Manbo to take the initiative to ask for it, so that he finds out that he has this token instead of taking it out for him to see.

Frowning slightly because he couldn't think of a way, Xu Feng leaned over again and said, "Wrestling..."

Immediately understood what Xu Feng meant, this ground is paved with green bricks is very hard, and the iron objects are also very hard, as long as the collision is naturally loud, and things will be much easier after that.

After thinking about it clearly, Shi Bin pretended to go over to comfort Sun Manbo, but he didn't notice that the fat man was in a hurry, and he was knocked to the ground by him.

Shi Bin, who sat on the ground but didn't hear the sound, knew that this was a brocade ribbon that was too short, and the black iron order had not yet been lifted to the bluestone slab, so he had to pretend that he couldn't sit down and lay on the ground. At this point, the black iron order collided with the bluestone slab, making a crisp sound.

The crisp sound is the easiest to wake up, and Sun Manbo, who heard the sound, immediately calmed down from the panic, followed the sound and looked over, only to see that the sound came from a bag on Shi Bin's body.

At this time, Shi Bin was taking this bag and wiping it carefully, and took out a black iron token with a salt word on it, and was also wiping it carefully.

After seeing the token, Sun Manbo immediately stopped pacing back and forth anxiously, but looked at the black iron salt order in Shi Bin's hand stupidly, and his eyes still flashed with greed. It's as if it's not just a piece of black iron, but a mountain of gold.

Shi Bin looked back at Sun Manbo very 'naturally', although he had expected that he would be very happy, but he didn't expect to start a fool, which was greatly unexpected by Shi Bin.

"Master, master..." The man called out to Sun Manbo very softly, wanting him to come back to his senses as soon as possible. After all, it is very disrespectful to behave like this in front of two outsiders.

But Sun Manbo didn't respond to the call of the next person, and just looked directly at the black iron order in Shi Bin's hand.

Feeling that the time was ripe, Shi Bin grinned and said, "Boss Sun, Boss Sun... What's wrong with you? Why do you keep staring at my black iron order? ”

Maybe it was because he felt that he was too expressive, and he was asking for others, and he had rejected Shi Bin's request to partner before, and Sun Manbo, a businessman who still wanted to be faced, spoke a little hesitantly, "Oh... Oh... It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just curious about the strange token. What's that token? Why is there a salt word on it? ”

understands that this is Sun Manbo pretending to be stupid, he, a salt industry boss, will not know the salt gang token? However, Shi Bin would not embarrass him, and still humbly 'told' him that this was the token of the Salt Gang, and he did not need to pay protection fees to sell salt in the Great Song Dynasty with this token.

"I see, I see. Boss Shi is really powerful, to get such a token, this can reduce a lot of costs, if you don't make a day to fight Jin Sun, you don't believe it, hehe! It's really envious. ”

"Boss Sun's family has a big business, do you still care about such a small token?" Shi Bin asked half-truthfully.

"A little token? Boss Shi, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk! You don't seem to know how high the salt gang charges are, and you have to pay it once in a county, so think about how much lower your cost is than ours. Sun Manbo cried and lamented with a sad face, "Sun also wants to get such a piece, but there is no way, so he can only look at it and drool······ I wonder if Boss Shi can help me get the goods back from the Salt Gang this time? It's okay if it doesn't work out, and I'll definitely help you do what we talked about just now! Seeing that Shi Bin still didn't react, Sun Manbo said in a panic: "Brother doesn't know, if you don't help in this matter, two percent of my hundreds of salt will be detained by them as punishment!" I'm a big loser! ”

It seems that he is really worried about his own black iron salt order, Shi Bin knew that his plan was completely successful, but he still pretended it slightly, and hesitated: "Boss Sun, this is the token issued to me by the Salt Gang, will it be a little inappropriate for you to use it?" ”

Square peg? Of course, Sun Manbo knew that it was inappropriate, and it was very inappropriate. This kind of token is equivalent to proof of identity, and it cannot be easily borrowed. But now that he has been detained by the Salt Gang for hundreds of salt leads, where does it matter what is suitable or not? It's the right way to get the salt back first!

knew that he couldn't hold Sun Manbo too much, otherwise it would be self-defeating, so before Sun Manbo could come up with a suitable reason to convince Shi Bin, Shi Bin said: "Although Boss Sun didn't agree to a partnership before, he still let Shi enter Ezhou to open a salt shop, and just agreed to a partnership, if Shi doesn't help, it seems that he can't say anything." Okay, the younger brother took this risk for Brother Sun to get that batch of goods back! ”

With Shi Bin's words, Sun Manbo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and immediately smiled like a flower, and couldn't stop thanking Shi Bin for his help. After all, a few hundred salt introductions are also a lot of wealth, and even a tycoon like Sun Manbo doesn't want to suffer such a big loss.

Since he promised Sun Manbo, Shi Bin did not procrastinate, and immediately took Xu Feng and Sun Manbo all the way out of Ezhou to the place where the Salt Gang robbed the goods.

They are all good horses for a long time, and it didn't take long to arrive at the location.

From a distance, it looks very similar to the salt gang encountered outside Yangzhou City, they are all bandits and bandits, although they are violent, they are not murderous.

Seeing that someone was coming on a good horse, the Salt Gang naturally understood that this was the arrival of the main master, and a leader-like person also came out of the crowd and was ready to negotiate with Shi Bin.

Before he got off the horse, the leader sneered: "Boss Sun, brother, I am really convinced, and it is really no business or treachery." You also disdain to use this kind of bag drop, just two hundred taels of silver, it's just a drizzle for you, why be so obscene? ”

Although this remark was not vulgar, it hurt people, and Sun Manpo's face was angry like pig liver, and he only said the word 'you' for a long time.

"Brother, Boss Sun is certainly a little inappropriate, can you not worry about this time? It's always better to be friends and leave some room for each other. "Shi Bin ran out to be a peacemaker.

"This friend, it seems that you have just dealt with Boss Sun, and you don't know him yet. This big boss is very shrewd and has to take care of every penny, and he has done this kind of thing more than once. The leader looked at Sun Manbo with disdain and said.

No one can guess that this kind of thing can be done as many times as possible, where will anyone be afraid of doing less? What's more, it is impossible for Sun Manbo, a big salt lord, to just do it.

However, Shi Bin naturally couldn't say that these salts were indeed Sun Manpo's bag drop, he promised Sun Manbo to help, of course, he was the one to solve the problem, so he took out the black body order from the bag and said, "Please take a look at this, brother." As he spoke, he handed the token to the chief.

Seeing the Black Iron Order, the leader was speechless, obviously not wanting to give up the upcoming benefit and not wanting to offend Shi Bin, who was holding the token, so he hesitated.

Knowing that it is difficult to be a leader, a leader who will not benefit his subordinates will not be able to be a leader for long. Shi Bin also understood him, so he said: "This brother, this time Boss Sun's protection fee should be as much or as much as it should be, but don't ask for such a high punishment, what do you think?" Besides, he just dropped the bag, and he didn't want to pay a penny. ”

The leader looked at Shi Bin, who was holding the black iron order, and thought to himself, if he said that the salt was his, then not only would he not receive a penny, but he might also offend him. But all those who hold this order are people with great backgrounds, and they are not offended by a small leader. What's more, harmony has always been precious, if Sun Manbo can pay according to the rules, then this is a good way, and everyone is happy.

So the leader spoke: "Boss Sun, I, Lanyu, will give face to this eldest brother today, don't care about this time, but if there is a next time, be careful that I will suppress all your goods, and don't even think about ransom!" ”

Lan Yu's words made Sun Manbo feel like he was amnesty, and he couldn't stop thanking Shi Bin and Lan Yu. And Shi Bin also thanked Lan Yu for giving him this face, and said that he would definitely become friends in the future.

Lan Yu was very happy to be friends with the boss who held the Black Iron Order, so he immediately agreed to come down and express his gratitude to Shi Bin for his face.

After the matter was resolved, Shi Bin and Sun Manbo naturally returned to Ezhou City. Sun Manbo can also be regarded as a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he promised to partner with Shi Bin to sell salt on the way, and try to help Shi Bin win the market share of the salt market in Ezhou.

In the end, it was a big salt lord, and within two days of the promise, Sun Manbo went to the inn where Shi Bin was staying, and told him the good news with a smile: he can open four salt shops in Ezhou, but only one can be opened in Ezhou City, and the remaining three can be opened wherever they want, and the maximum monthly sales can be 400 in Ezhou.

Shi Bin was very happy when he heard this number, he thought that it would be two hundred at most, but he didn't expect it to double, and immediately reciprocated, saying that he didn't need such a high rebate, as long as it was one percent.

This number made Sun Manbo ecstatic. You must know that his cost after partnering with Shi Bin was reduced by 30%, and Shi Bin only needed a 10% rebate, leaving him 20%. This gave him an extra 20% profit, which is definitely a lot of wealth, and he is naturally grateful.

With common interests, the relationship between the two is even closer, and they can be regarded as brothers.
