The 'one business' in Yang Hu's words can be understood as a transaction with Zhou Zheng, and it can also be understood as money to buy a life.

Zhou Zheng didn't move, and said, "I'm interested." ”

Yang Hu's face was even happier, as if he was pondering the wording, and after a pause, he said: "Our Yang family and other big salt merchants have basically inherited the salt administration, and there are tens of thousands of salt merchants in the world, all of which are related to our Huaiyang Sixteen families, and I want to ask Zhou Gongzi to join the shares." ”

"Stake?"

Zhou asked with a hint of curiosity.

Yang Huyi hurriedly said: "It's what we gave to Zhou Gongzi, five percent of the shares, Zhou Gongzi don't underestimate these, this year, it's worth at least one hundred and fifty hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver." ”

Zhou Zheng listened to this number, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Shopkeeper Yang, are you deceiving me for not being able to count?" ”

Five percent is one million and fifty taels, and one hundred percent is 30 million, so can there be such a big profit from selling salt? What's more, even if there is, giving Zhou Zheng 1.5 million taels a year in one breath is too atmospheric!

Yang Huyi touched his head and said with a smile: "Don't dare to hide it from Zhou Gongzi, salt is our main industry, but not all." In addition, I have also seen those products of Zhou Gongzi Zhouji, which are very good, and I plan to order one million taels of ...... every year."

Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, this Yang Hu opened his mouth one by one to give Zhou Zheng 2.5 million taels, this handwriting is really scary!

Wei Xizhuang was also quite open-mouthed, he had worked hard to get 30,000 taels of silver before, this Yang Huzhi, his mouth was actually at the level of one million!

Zhou Zheng looked at Yang Huyi deeply, reached out to pick up the teacup, and then put it down again.

He knew that the polarization of the Ming Dynasty was very serious, the people at the bottom could feed a family of eight for a month with one or two pieces of silver, and the upper class was squandering money and getting rich.

"Shopkeeper Yang made a move, and it was really extraordinary." Zhou Zheng said with a smile.

Yang Huyi seemed to be careless, but in fact he had been watching Zhou Zheng, seeing that he was just a little surprised, but he was not very moved, and immediately agreed, the smile on his face became a little more, and said: "I heard that Zhou Gongzi loves to drink tea, unfortunately, phoenix cakes, loose tea, thunder, dew seeds, finch tongues, Baihao, Wuyi rock tea, Yunnan Pu'er, Xin'an pineapple, etc., I have every kind of tea, I will send Zhou Gongzi two tea mountains, five tea houses......"

Zhou Zheng listened, his expression remained the same.

Although tea is not as good as salt, it is also a necessity for every household in the Ming Dynasty, and it can even be said that it is okay not to eat, but it is not possible not to drink tea.

The difference between tea and salt is that the cheap one is very cheap, and the expensive one is very expensive, and there is no market for it.

Yang Huyi said that they are all famous teas of the Ming Dynasty, just he said that these dozens of tea mountains, there are no hundreds of thousands of taels that cannot be taken, and they are properly operated every year, and the income of 100,000 taels is the bottom!

It's no wonder that this head of the Yang family can make such a big business, such a handiwork, Yang Huzhi and others never have.

"Shopkeeper Yang, what do you want?" Zhou Zheng asked.

Yang Hu was stunned one by one, and hurriedly smiled and said, "What Zhou Gongzi said is true, what he said is true." Doing business, there must be contacts and contacts, first, I want to ask Zhou Gongzi to give us some care in the official face, it is not easy to do business. Second, some of our Yang family members were ignorant and offended Zhou Gongzi, so please raise your hand and let them go. ”

"That's it?" This time, it was Wei Xizhuang who couldn't help but speak.

Yang Hu touched his serious smooth forehead, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Businessman, you don't ask for much, that's all, what do you think about Zhou Gongzi and Wei Gongzi, although it is said that the price is all over the sky, and it is enough to pay back the money on the ground." ”

This time it was Wei Xizhuang's turn to be a little embarrassed, people talked about this, what else could he say, and turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng also sighed in his heart that this Yang family master was old and spicy, if it was an ordinary person, he would definitely agree happily.

However, he knew very well in his heart that Yang Hu raised the price so high in one mouth in order to narrow Zhou Zheng's expectations, and it would be difficult to ask for anything more.

How could Zhou Zheng be fooled, looked at Yang Huyi, pondered for a moment, and said, "Shopkeeper Yang said that he ordered my Zhouji's goods every year?" I want to put it another way, that is, you and the people you represent in the shop, I have sent people to settle in every week, sell our goods, and we don't need you to order or pay, and we don't disturb your business, just borrow it and take it for convenience. ”

Yang Hu touched his head for a moment, the embarrassed smile on his face stiffened slightly, and then he continued to touch his head and said, "Is this so?" I'm afraid that there are some difficulties, our shops are very small, and they are all old customers for more than ten or twenty years, and suddenly join Zhouji, I'm afraid that there will be some troubles, and it may not be easy to sell, and I can't make money...... In this way, I will send Zhou Gongzi twenty, no, how about fifty shops? I promise it's all in a good place in Nanzhili. ”

"I believe that Shopkeeper Yang has a way." Zhou Zheng said lightly.

Yang Hu looked at Zhou Zheng, his face was still embarrassed, but his eyes were a little faint and profound, and he didn't speak immediately, as if he was thinking hard.

Wei Xizhuang originally thought that Zhou Zheng's request was nothing, but looking at Yang Huyi's embarrassed look, he suddenly thought about it in his heart.

Zhou Zheng turned a blind eye to Yang Huyi's embarrassment, whether he was really embarrassed or false, Zhou Zheng had to achieve this goal.

Zhou Zheng doesn't want to give a million taels of silver for nothing every year, what he wants is actually a channel!

The channel must be in his own hands, otherwise it is equivalent to handing over the lifeline to others and letting others handle it!

With channels, that is the foundation of making a fortune.

After a while, Yang Hu put down his hand and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Gongzi, in this way, we will order two million taels of goods from Zhou Ji every year, and then send you some more shops." ”

As soon as Yang Hu entered Beijing, he represented the sixteen big salt merchants in Huaiyang, and maybe even more businessmen, chambers of commerce. After all, most of the eunuchs have been arrested, and the new emperor is resolute in dealing with the eunuchs, and the arrest of the eunuchs is in full swing in various places.

Zhou Zheng saw that Yang Huyi refused to nod, and knew in his heart that this long-time businessman should have guessed some of his purposes.

"I don't care about any of this, and I hope that Shopkeeper Yang will carefully consider my suggestion." Zhou Zheng said.

Yang Hu saw that Zhou Zheng did not have a trace of concession, and the embarrassment on his expression turned into emotion, and said with a wry smile: "Zhou Gongzi, you are really embarrassed for me." ”

"If you are not embarrassed, why should Shopkeeper Yang personally venture into Beijing?" Zhou Zheng said lightly.

The capital is now a land of tigers and wolves, and those who come in may not be able to get out. What's more, Yang Huyi, who is inside itself.

Yang Huyi could hear from Zhou Zheng's words that Zhou Zheng had eaten him.

Yang Hu's face was still full of emotion, and his heart was even more emotional.

He originally thought that Yang Hu's letter was a bit exaggerated about this Zhou Gongzi, and he knew how difficult it was when they met.
