"In the end, it's just a chess piece."

Zhang Hai received a letter from Li Tianshi again, urging Zhang Hai to get Zhang Guang out of Huizhou as soon as possible, and he would be transferred out of Huizhou immediately. Zhang Hai was unwilling, obviously he was the one who tore the mouth in Huizhou and won the imperial court for the three princes, but the three princes and Li Tianshi completely erased Zhang Hai's merits.

Now that Zhang Guang has been arrested, Zhang Hai doesn't even have a person who can do things well, but he still has to continue to fight wits and courage with Zhou Qi. Zhang Hai knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to save the sacred heart of the three princes, the only way to make a great contribution was to make a great contribution.

However, in Huizhou City, the unity of the businessmen, Zhang Hai has already seen it, and it is even more difficult to make an obstacle from it.

Zhou Kai is even more of a difficult master to mess with, keeping money, exterminating horse bandits, catching assassins, fighting for more than a year, again and again, Zhang Haidu is one trick off. Zhang Hai wrote back to Li Tianshi and asked about Zhou Kai's detailed background, but Li Tianshi not only did not pay attention to it, but also reprimanded Zhang Hai for doing a bad job and being distracted.

Zhang Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.

Just when Zhang Hai was at a loss, Zhang Ling brought a glimmer of hope to Zhang Hai.

"Miss Zhang said Xiliang?"

"Not bad."

Zhang Hai was excited, "But Miss Zhang, I may not have so many goods." ”

"Goods, I've already helped Boss Zhang find it."

"Oh?" Zhang Hai suddenly became cautious, although he had achieved nothing in Huizhou, he had helped Li Tianshi to accumulate wealth for many years, so he didn't believe that there was any goodwill in the mall for no reason.

Zhang Ling naturally understood Zhang Hai's concerns, she didn't really want to do business with Zhang Hai, but wanted to trick him and create an illusion that she had inadvertently made a contribution in front of Zhou Qi in the future.

"It's normal for Boss Zhang to have concerns, if it were me, I wouldn't believe that anyone would do this business."

"Miss Zhang, can you tell me what your reason is for doing this?"

Zhang Ling stood up with a smile, "Boss Zhang, if you can only be subservient to others, will you be willing?" Our Jin merchants have only been overtaken by Hui merchants in recent years, back then, I and Qian Ning set a baby kiss, but because of the competition between Hui merchants and Jin merchants, our affairs were delayed. Now that I am here alone, I originally wanted to marry Qin and Jin, but I never thought that Qian Ning would fail me and fall in love with someone he shouldn't love. ”

"How can such a thing happen?"

Zhang Ling's eyes were cold, "Boss Zhang, I, Zhang Ling, am also a beautiful lady and a famous family, how can I swallow my anger because of this humiliation?" ”

"Then what does this have to do with going to Xiliang to do business?"

Zhang Ling smiled slightly and said: "Now our Jin merchants are not as good as Hui merchants, but Hui merchants are not monolithic. Boss Zhang wanted to cooperate with the Chen family before and crush the Qian family, although he failed to succeed, his thinking was very right. Now Xiliang Commercial Road, belongs to my Zhang family is the largest and widest, the Chen family is close behind, if my Zhang family is dominant, Jin Shang will once again climb to the top.

Boss Zhang, now that Mrs. Chen is dead, all industries are ready to move, whether my Zhang family can win the championship again depends on this time. ”

Zhang Hai became interested again, "So, Miss Zhang is using the strength of the whole family to show her strength?" ”

The corners of Zhang Ling's mouth rose, "My brother has a letter, and he has already gone to Xiliang." Boss Zhang is well-informed in Huizhou, and he should also know that Chen Mingyang has also embarked on the trade route to Xiliang. ”

Zhang Hai trusted Zhang Ling a little more in his heart, and Chen Mingyang did go to Xiliang with a full load of goods.

"Miss Zhang, the court wants to marry a princess, or a princess, this is a well-known thing in the court. Now that everyone is going to Xiliangzha, can Xiliang still have so many business opportunities? Besides, the Qian family is not a lamb to be slaughtered, if I go to collect their goods, they will be able to give them to me? They won't sell their own goods? ”

"Boss Zhang, don't forget, Xiliang is not anywhere else, where the people are fierce and looting caravans happen from time to time. Our Zhang family is still in Xiliang, and the trade route is the most stable, and now there are many families who want to trade with Xiliang through our trade route. The Qian family is in the territory of the Great Zhou, the trade routes are smooth, and they are indomitable, but when they go out of the Great Zhou, they are not familiar with the place.

Last year, the Qian family had just lost the court's offerings, and almost capsized in the small gutter.

Later, Qian Ning and I entered Beijing, and Uncle Qian knew that the Qi family in the capital had robbed them of their imperial court, but he still gave his high-quality tea to the Qi family at a discount, not because the family had a big business and could not tolerate the slightest mistake.

At that time, I could see that Qian Ning was not a person who pioneered territory, Uncle Qian worked hard for half his life, and the business territory he created needed Qian Ning to guard, so he could only tie his hands and feet. This is the price of the Qian family becoming bigger and stronger, and this is also what our Zhang family has experienced.

Boss Zhang, winter is coming, and spring is approaching. As soon as spring arrives, the tea leaves will come out. I am sure that Uncle Qian will fight for the imperial court again this year......"

Zhang Hai's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, and of course Zhang Ling caught it quickly, so she accentuated her tone. "I don't believe Yu Nian is acting alone."

Zhang Hai gasped, "Miss Zhang? ”

"What good is it for him to frame a Qian family for more than a year?" Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ling smiled again: "Of course, this matter has nothing to do with me. Even if he acted alone for the rest of the year, he would not spit out the imperial court offering that had already bitten into the mouth of the Qi family in the capital. Therefore, it is even more difficult for Uncle Qian to become the path of worship in the imperial court again.

As far as I know, the relationship between the Qian family and the imperial court has not strengthened in the past year, and no nobles have appeared.

Then, Uncle Qian had only one choice, cut off the supply of the Qi family and directly extricate himself from the Xiliang market. ”

"Miss Zhang is so sure? Qian Wanquan is an old fox, as you said just now, the most important thing for the Qian family now is to hold the status of the Qian family and not make mistakes. Wouldn't it be too risky to pull a lot of tea leaves to Xiliang? ”

"Boss Zhang, what I just said was Qian Ning, Qian Ning, as a person who guards the land, he doesn't dare to act rashly. But Uncle Qian has expanded his territory all his life, and he will never sit still in his old age, leaving Qian Ning with a Qian family that seems to be prosperous, but in fact is very inward-looking. I bet he's going to the Western Regions. ”

"The Qian family went to the Western Regions by themselves, so how can I get involved?"

"Boss Zhang, don't worry, the bottom is the key."

"Zhang listened attentively."

"If the Qian family wants to open up the market in the Western Regions, it is either relying on our Zhang family's inherent business routes, or cooperating with the Chen family, which is simple and labor-saving, and safe. But now that my brother and Chen Mingyang have gone to the Western Regions, they will not be able to come back for a while, as long as I unite with Chen Mingyang and let him and my brother be in the Western Regions to March next year. When spring tea comes, we can afford it, but Uncle Qian can't afford it.

Boss Zhang, you have been in Huizhou for so long, you should know that this tea is no better than others, and after time, it will be worthless. ”

"Chen Shaodong's family, can you unite with your Jin merchants and put money to death?"

"Of course not."

"That?"

Zhang Hai looked at Zhang Ling suspiciously, Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously, "Boss Zhang, I have my own way to let Chen Mingyang stay in Xiliang, and I can't come back no matter what." As for the way......" Zhang Ling looked at Zhang Hai with a smile, Zhang Hai understood that it was inconvenient to say.

"Since Miss Zhang is so confident, I don't want to ask anything. It's just that this isn't your average small business, and I still want to be on the safe side. ”

"Boss Zhang, now that we are in a cooperative relationship, we will naturally tell you the whole process.

Now my brother and Chen Mingyang have left their hometown one after another, which Uncle Qian never expected. My father wrote to me that Uncle Qian had contacted him, hoping that our Zhang family could help their Qian family and leave some places, and in the spring of next year, he would send Qian Ning to personally lead the caravan to Xiliang. Of course, Uncle Qian gave our Zhang family a very good profit. ”

"Then, Master Zhang agreed?"

"Why don't you say yes?"

"Miss Zhang?"

"My father thinks that if the two families are combined, they will benefit both and divide the two harms, but I don't think so."

"Miss Zhang is still blaming Qian Ning?"

"I'm not afraid of Boss Zhang's jokes when I say it, I, Zhang Ling, am a businessman, but first of all, I am a person, but also a woman. I can't allow people to look down on me like that. Since Qian Ning doesn't take me seriously, I want him to see me and see our Zhang family in Jinzhong, it's not so easy to be bullied! ”

Zhang Hai is determined in his heart, a woman's sense of revenge is very strong, and a smart woman will definitely be able to make a man irreversible.

"But Master Zhang has already promised Qian Wanquan, how can Miss Zhang stop it?"

"I will go to Xiliang in person and ask my brother to stay in Xiliang, and Chen Mingyang will also stay in Xiliang. When Uncle Qian found out that both of them could not come back due to force majeure, and Qian Ning's way to Xiliang was difficult, Boss Zhang went to Uncle Qian to discuss business. Of course, it wasn't going to be smooth at first. At that time, the people I stayed behind would see the opportunity to do a big thing, the Qian family would definitely be in trouble again, Qian Ning was trapped in the territory of the Great Zhou, and Uncle Qian would definitely give up temporarily opening up the Western Regions market in order to keep the peace of the Qian family. And Boss Zhang is the best partner. ”

"He won't supply the Qi family again?"

"Hmph, I've received the news, Qi Jia, has found another way to find a new supplier. To put it bluntly, the Qi family is also afraid that Uncle Qian will want to show his strength again. ”

Most of what Zhang Ling said today is false, but this sentence is the truth. Zhang Hai had actually received the news, he originally wanted to see all the tea leaves in Qian Ji smashed in his hands, and he looked helpless, so he was relieved! But now, he feels that it is the right thing to cooperate with Zhang Ling and make more money.

"Since Miss Zhang is so honest, I am also honest. To be honest, I, Zhang Hai, may not be able to eat such a big item as Qianji Tea House! ”

Zhang Ling patted Zhang Hai's shoulder, "Boss Zhang, I'm afraid you can eat it." ”

"Huh?"

"Boss Zhang, I just want to swallow Qian Ji alone."

Zhang Hai gasped again, "Swallow Qian Ji alone?" ”
