Qi Xintang's trick can be said to be a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, making the shopkeeper of Fan's firm really colorless.

If these Westerners and Easterners come to ask them for an explanation, although Fan's firm also pays attention to reputation, but such a matter of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver compensation, no matter how honest the merchant is, I am afraid that he will also have to plan how to reduce losses.

Merchants are the first to take the lead, and it is rumored that there is almost no one to find in reality those merchants who sell their properties to compensate for the losses of outsiders, let alone be able to sell the interests of the Han people to pursue a nomadic and barbaric race.

Even if these foreign businessmen make a fuss in Yuegang, the shopkeeper Tong still has the confidence to be able to turn big things into small things and small things, after all, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Fan's firm has too many means and methods to make this automatic foreign businessman unable to take them.

By this time, the series of contracts they had signed with each other had become decorations, and the shopkeeper was quietly transferring the property of the Yuegang firm while dealing with this group of foreign businessmen with a dead face, and although the final result might make the reputation of the Fan firm worse, it could make up for the loss of money.

Even when these foreign businessmen sued the yamen, the shopkeeper Tong was not worried, but he still expected the other party to do so, with the influence of Fan's firm's connections in the officialdom, the best result for this group of outsiders was nothing more than that Fan's firm spit out the deposit he had received before, and then the matter was over.

Even if the foreign businessmen have the upper hand again, but they are outsiders after all, the people of the Ming Dynasty who have been plagued by the Dongwei people, the Xiangshanao that has not been returned by the Westerners occupied by the Westerners, and the sea frontiers that invaded the Ming Dynasty with strong ships and cannons again and again, have long made the high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty have a bad feeling towards them first, plus the Fan firm is from the side, and the final result will definitely be more inclined to the Fan firm.

This is also because although he knows that he has to bear the greatest responsibility for this transaction, the shopkeeper Tong still has this last luxury in his heart, he is convinced of his judgment of the owner, and believes that the greedy owner will definitely not easily hand over such a large amount of money to compensate.

However, when Hongmen intervened openly, the subsequent development of this matter had changed direction.

When it comes to the strength of officialdom, perhaps the Hongmen and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are not as strong as the influence of Jin merchants in the central government, but the strength of their old nest officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is stronger than the strength of many chambers of commerce in the north.

As the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, no matter how powerful the central court is, but in addition to exerting pressure on the local government, they have no other bigger actions.

If it is placed in Jingcha, perhaps the central government can still rely on the authority to control the promotion of local officials, and make local officials fearful, but now that it is not the year of Jingcha, local officials who have long been in harmony with the local wealthy families will naturally be more inclined to close local cooperation allies, and there is no need to perfunctory orders issued from above.

And a consortium like Fan's firm that crosses the river and the raptor, I'm sorry, if you want to make a good business in Jiangnan, then you have to lay a good foundation with the local government and obey their arrangements, otherwise your good fruits will be indispensable to eat, and the local government will have more means to clean you up.

Li Tianyang behind Hongmen, himself is a member of Fujian officialdom, and he is one of the powerful factions, and he has long managed Fujian officialdom as strong as an iron bucket.

Speaking of Hongmen's strong strength among the people, in addition to the government to gather soldiers and horses, they are the only ones who can make the caravans of more than a dozen businesses disappear in the same period of time in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they do not leave any horses.

Leaving the shopkeeper Tong alone in front of the shop in a daze collapsed, Guan Juxiong reported a punch, then Shi Shiran got up and left, today his work is very busy, in addition to Fan's business, he also has more than a dozen shops that need to be visited one by one, so as to reflect their Hongmen attention to this matter.

A few days ago, Guan Juxiong had been envious of the business of the dozen or so northern businesses around him that were getting more and more prosperous day by day, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was the young master above him who was digging holes for these businesses, so that they were willing to jump down.

After having these contracts in hand, it won't be long before these northern firms, which rely on the imperial court to reopen the port of Yuegang, and gradually show signs of taking root in Yuegang, I am afraid that they will basically be swept away, and where they came from, they will go back to where they came!

Just thinking and reasoning about this big drama arranged by the Hongmen base camp in his heart, Guan Juxiong has to be proud of the strong strength and practical ability shown by his team.

Without these outsiders competing for business with their Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in Yuegang, their Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's business will naturally be better and their business will be more prosperous!

A few days later, representatives from various businesses in the north sent to Yuegang to solve the problem because of the collective arrears of goods in Yuegang.

Even these representatives of the proprietors who came from Anhui, Shanxi and other northern lands arrived in Yuegang, but the caravans that transported goods from Suzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang and other prosperous cities were still nowhere to be found, and the representatives and shopkeepers no longer had any illusions about these caravans that disappeared out of thin air, and concentrated on negotiating with Hongmen Guan Juxiong, wanting to negotiate a reasonable solution.

"I'm sorry, the owner of our family said, there is nothing to talk about in this matter, please solve everything in accordance with the contract!"

Guan Juxiong's attitude is tough, and he has always liked the feeling of condescending watching a group of wealthy people who used to show off their power being trampled under their feet.

"Guan shopkeeper, is there really no room for concession in this matter?"

Tian Guixi, the representative of the Jin Shang Tian family, sat down at this time, and discussed with Guan Juxiong in a pleading tone, such a scene has long been accustomed to Guan Juxiong in the past few days.

"I'm sorry, when we were dealing with these foreign businessmen, we used a large number of goods in exchange for these contracts, although we are all old friends, but in business, no matter how you say it, we can't call it a loss!"

Guan Juxiong was unmoved, since Hongmen had already shown his sword and laid out such a big game, in order to say that these northern businesses were wiped out and driven out of the Jiangnan area, so it was absolutely impossible for Guan Juxiong to show mercy at this time.
