Chapter 252: Expensive Lunch
Sun Xiangfu's goal has always been very clear, and the series of things he has done are to gather everyone's strength, develop the northern grassland, and by the way, lead several major families into vicious competition.
How can he develop the land outside the border better and faster? All you need is enough manpower, enough labor, and enough capital.
Five surnames and seven families in the whole game process, play the role of the big fish, Sun Xiangfu to drive these big fish, devour small fish, small and medium-sized families, is small fish, their individual strength is insufficient, but they can provide nutrients for the big fish, when the serfs that can be squeezed out of their hands are in the hands of the five surnames and seven families, Sun Xiangfu can ensure that the land he sells will indeed have enough manpower to develop and cultivate.
From the time he knew the amount of deposits of the five surnames and seven families in the cabinet shop, he knew that these small and medium-sized families could not compete to win these few in the best kind of land, and the Wang family accounted for nearly seven million yuan in more than 20 million yuan of deposits, and although the rest of the families did not have enough time to prepare, they also had more than one million yuan each, and they accounted for two-thirds of the total amount of deposits.
Moreover, the five surnames and seven families have cooperated for many years, even if they are on the scene, through a brief exchange, they can immediately form a union, but the small and medium-sized families are not, although they also hold a group, but they cannot be completely unified, some small families, all have their own thoughts.
Sun Xiangfu understood Wei Zheng's single-minded intentions, and smiled, "Isn't this coming to you to solve the problem." β
Wei Zheng was stunned and said, "What can the old man do to help you solve the problem?" β
Sun Xiangfu explained, "The 500,000 or 600,000 guan that was auctioned off just now on one million acres of land needs to be temporarily lent out for use. β
"Borrow?"
"That's right, did you see that Dongzhu girl from Xue Yantuo's department on the field just now? She is her own person, let's let the five surnamed seven families go to collect the serfs of the small and medium-sized families, and then, give her the money as the capital, and then raise the price of the land taken by the five surnamed seven families, so that those families will not only spend a lot of money to buy serfs, but also spend a lot of money to buy land. When the time comes, they will accept the serfs from the small and medium-sized families, and if they can't buy the fields, the serfs will have to eat their idle food. β
"However, how can the price of all the land be raised for five or six hundred thousand yuan?"
Wei Zheng was puzzled again, although he didn't know how much money the five surnamed seven families had saved in the cabinet shop, but he also knew that any family would not only save five or six hundred thousand yuan, and the money auctioned out in the morning was not enough to screw them up.
"Hehe, have you forgotten, we have an installment agreement, you only need to pay a down payment, even if the transaction is completed, the 600,000 yuan, in the auction field, can play the role of 6 million yuan! No matter how strong they are, no matter how strong they are, I'm afraid that they won't be able to come up with six million! β
Sun Xiangfu knew that there was a family that could be taken out, that is, the Taiyuan Wang family, but after eating this meal, they couldn't take it out, because they would spend money crazy during this meal.
The restaurant in Shanyang City is very lively today, the top seven are all booked, Taiyuan Wang's directly chartered the Wangjiang Building Shanyang Branch, if you talk about the grade, here is undoubtedly the best of Shanyang.
Then, there were many people who came to the banquet, especially the Guanlong family group headed by Wei Shuhuan, almost all of whom came here to eat.
He was supposed to be the number two person in the imperial history team, but after coming to Shanyang, he didn't do anything serious, it should be said that after he came to Shanyang, all of them were private things to do business and make profits. However, this time it seems to be a private matter to come to Wangjianglou to attend the Wang's banquet, but in fact, it is an office matter.
Because Sun Xiangfu revealed the news to Wang Xu more than a month in advance, the Taiyuan Wang family is the most prepared family this time, and they have the most cash in hand, so Sun Xiangfu also hopes that they will buy or replace the most serfs, so that with the strength of the Wang family, they are absolutely unwilling to take only a little bit of land.
Of course, it is not only the Guanlong family that Wei Shuhuan deliberately launched here, but also many families that have intersections with the Wang family, such as their relationship with some branches in Shandong and Jiangdong, and there are dozens of them, which immediately made the Wangjianglou branch the most lively place in this luncheon.
The wine and food were all together, the head of the family Wang Rui took the lead in inviting wine, and the heads of the major families were very face-saving, and drank a full glass, and then, the matter entered the main topic.
"Everyone, from this morning's auction, everyone should have seen that all the people who took the land were people from my five surnames and seven families, why? Because we are the strongest.
Moreover, what is the relationship between Sun Zhengming, who organized this incident, and my Taiyuan Wang family, I believe you also know.
Therefore, these lands will definitely be in the pocket of the five surnames and seven families headed by our Wang family.
However, we will not let you run in vain, we all know that the development of these land, may require a large number of young and strong serfs, the old man knows that your family has already prepared, but you can't get the land, it is useless to prepare, yes, the old man is willing to buy the serfs in your hands at a high price, all the serfs will be sold to my Taiyuan Wang family, the old man will accept your love, but in the future, but please, as long as you find the old man, you will try your best to help. β
In the restaurant, the people who came to the banquet after being invited by the Taiyuan Wang family were still a little dazed, and Wei Shuhuan, who was not far from Wang Rui, was sitting not far from Wang Rui, but he had an expression that was really like this, and these methods of the family were really expected by Sun Zhengming.
Since things are going according to Sun Zhengming's expectations, then Wei Shuhuan naturally has to act according to Sun Zhengming's explanation, so that the whole plan can go smoothly, so he got up and said, "To be able to get the favor of the world's top family, even if I Guan Long Wei's family, I can't ask for it!" I don't know what conditions the lord of the Wang family intends to use to buy the serfs in our hands! β
Hearing this, Wang Rui knew that Uncle Wei had the intention of selling the serfs in his hands, and said with great joy, "At the price of double the market price of the Chang'an people, what does Brother Wei Xian think?" β
Uncle Wei smiled when he heard this, "I'm afraid that the head of the Wang family doesn't know yet!" Since the news of the investment promotion conference of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate spread through the newspapers in Chang'an, the price of young and strong slaves in the human market has risen several times, and money cannot buy them. β
"Hehe, what is the price of how many times it has risen?" Wang Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled, as long as the price is said, this business will be done, aside from the wealth accumulated by the Wang family in the past, this year's spice field alone has made his Wang family earn one or two million guan, and there are still tens of millions of goods worth tens of millions in the warehouse that have not been sold, and the money he has on hand is very sufficient.
Uncle Wei thought for a moment and said, "It is estimated that the price of a young and strong slave has risen to twenty yuan. β
Many of the people sitting here are from Chang'an, and most of them know the current market situation, and they all nodded in agreement with the price he said.
"In this way, the old man will give forty yuan and buy it from you, what do you think?" Wang Rui didn't blink his eyes.
"Forty times?"
Hearing this offer, the patriarchs of many families suddenly moved, if it is usual, it is possible to buy seven or eight young and strong slaves in Chang'an City at this price, even if they are skilled serfs who can farm, they can also buy four or five, Wang Rui actually paid forty times to buy one, even Yang Hong of Hongnong Yang's family, is very willing to make a few moves, after all, they have bought a lot of serfs in Guanzhong before, and they can also free up a lot of their own homes, and now they sell them at a high price, and they will slowly buy them back when they go back.
"If it is really forty times, it can be sold to the head of the Wang family for two thousand." Uncle Wei was the first to answer.
"It's so good, as long as the agreement is signed, the 80,000 yuan cabinet deposit ticket will be presented by Wang immediately." Wang Rui said happily.
Uncle Wei pretended to be puzzled, "Sign an agreement? β
"Hehe, Brother Wei Xian, don't blame, this is also the rule of Shanyang City, for large transactions, you must make an agreement and pay taxes, so that you can be protected by the law, rest assured, Wang can give you the money first, as long as you hand over the serf to me Wang according to the number at that time."
"In that case, let's sign an agreement!" Uncle Wei seemed to understand Wang Rui's words very well.
Selling 2,000 serfs, there are 80,000 in hand, and suddenly those small and medium-sized families who know that they have no hope of getting the land are excited, Wei Shuhuan just gave everyone an example at the beginning, and suddenly, some people followed suit and signed an agreement with Wang Rui, even Yang Hong, all of the five thousand serfs prepared by the family were sold to Wang Rui, and he got 200,000 yuan of cabinet deposits.
These people are all born in deep-rooted families, Wang Rui does not have to worry that they will not fulfill the contract, so, in a lunchtime, Wang Rui spent more than three million yuan, and not surprisingly, a month or two later, he will have more than 80,000 young and strong serfs in his hands, these people are enough to help him develop one or two million acres of land in the first year.
The situation of other restaurants is not as good as Wang Rui's here, because they don't have so much time to raise cash, so the situation of people like Cui Hong, Lu Heng and others is naturally not as good as the Wang family, who has the support of the entire Guanlong family, they only bought 30,000 to 40,000 young people.
"Father, now that we have enough serfs and the largest cash reserves, do we still have to take the land according to the amount of fields preliminarily agreed before?" When it was almost time, Wang Xu, who had eaten a few bites indiscriminately, asked Wang Rui.
"Of course not, my Wang clan is the strongest, how can we only take only 500,000 mu, and we have to take one or two million mu of land near the Shanyang spice field.
Also, don't think that Sun Zhengming's kid is honest, he got you 3 million mu of land, but he didn't have any good intentions, the girl who lived in his house in Xue Yantuo's department might be with him.
But just right, let her muddy the water, my Wang family is good to get the land, as long as we get more land in this round of auctions, three or five years later, the other few will not be qualified to be tied with us. β
Wang Rui, who is a handful of old men, was scolded as a boy by a group of old men, and it is strange that he can be in a good mood, in the course of these few days of quarrels, he is fed up, and the interests of the spice field have completely stimulated his ambition, and it is his duty as a contemporary head of the family to protect the vested interests of the family and create a brilliant achievement for the family.
Therefore, although he noticed that Sun Xiangfu was inciting the Wang family to fight with several other families, he did not say anything, because in his opinion, Sun Xiangfu made a stupid move, and in the whole process, his Wang family was making profits and growing, and if a family wants to continue to grow stronger, competition is necessary, and it is better to be cruel.
If Sun Xiangfu knew what Wang Rui was thinking, he would definitely say to him in his heart, you are too naΓ―ve to think about, once you enter the vicious competition, it will be difficult to return to the original.
Moreover, no matter who won the battle between the Wang clan and several other families, it was good for the imperial court, with their hands, they promoted the development of national infrastructure and promoted the line of the country's external expansion, and it was completely convenient for the Anbei Protectorate to collect a large amount of cash that could be used for development, and it was completely convenient to instigate them to fight.
And his Wang family, even if he takes more land, what if he produces more, the price of the goods will drop, and it will benefit the whole people of Datang, and they will be like a balloon that is constantly blown up, but this ball will make others greedy and want to pierce it, maybe it will be burst at once that day.
