"Hehe, the shopkeeper, your appetite is too big, aren't you afraid that we will all tear your face with you?"

Another disciple surnamed Fan of the Fan family stood up and asked with a calm face.

The layout of this time is so big, it was not until everything fell into the water that the shopkeepers of these months of Hong Kong entered the net suddenly woke up, and it turned out that the number of contracts they signed was huge, and I am afraid that it is the best in this era.

In order to maximize the losses caused to many businesses in the north, the Western and Eastern merchants who were organized by Hongmen to collectively purchase from Daoyue Port not only set a purchase list in one firm, but also booked goods and paid deposits in several or more than a dozen businesses at one time.

Anyway, the deposit was provided by the Hongmen and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and they Western and Eastern merchants just needed to show up and say a few words, so they were prevented from ordering goods in one place, turning around and setting foot in the shops of other firms, and placing orders in another.

A non-governmental system like Jin Shang, which is still united to the outside world, is both an ally and a competitor, so although we cooperate with each other in many aspects, when it comes to trade secrets, they also keep each other secret, probably knowing that the other party has a lot of orders, but they don't know who the owner of the other party's orders is.

It wasn't until this time that the caravan disappeared en masse and no one had delivered the goods, and at this time, everyone was vaguely aware of being calculated, but in the end they were taken aback by all the contracts that were collected.

All the orders of more than a dozen northern merchants such as Jin Merchants and Hui Merchants were added together, and the total value of the orders reached 1.45 million!

If you really want to pay the equivalent compensation according to the contract signed, I am afraid that all the proprietors of these businesses present will have to break their bones.

Anyone knows that now on the border of the south of the Yangtze River, there are more than a dozen groups that can shout that the caravan has quietly disappeared, in addition to the government, there is only one large Hongmen group left, and now the Hongmen not only embezzled the goods of their caravans, but also turned around to find them These bitter masters to claim compensation, anyone will be eager to dig up the bones of the Hongmen up and down to devour their hearts, in order to vent the hatred in their hearts.

However, the Hongmen were meticulous, and although everyone was almost 100% sure in the letter that the disappearance of their caravan was done by the Hongmen people, there was no real evidence, so they could only sit together and ask the Hongmen people to open up the net as they are now.

"Hehe, then this Fan representative, you can give it a try!!"

Guan Juxiong was also stiff, not moved by the strong threat in the other party's words, and immediately replied with an eye for an eye.

At this time, if you can't take the opportunity to cut off the hand that the northerners stretched out into their pockets, then when the time comes, they will not be polite to Hongmen and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to snatch business activities in Jiangnan.

"Humph!!"

The representative of Fan's firm from Zhangjiakou snorted angrily, but he didn't dare to really turn his face with Guan Juxiong of Qixintang, and finally held back his anger.

"I don't know where Admiral Li is now, we want to visit one or two in person, and please close the shopkeeper to deliver the message to it!"

Jin Liangcheng, the representative of the Jin firm, who was old and serious, spoke slowly and made this not too difficult request to Guan Ju Signal.

In terms of the strength of their Jin merchants, seeing Li Tianyang want to talk to Li Tianyang in detail in person, it is not a bad idea.

Guan Ju's signal may have also expected the other party's request, and Li Tianyang, who was supposed to be on Dayuan Island, had already estimated what might happen next, but now he was also in Yuegang.

The well-informed representatives of a leading firm not only felt the importance that Hongmen attached to this incident for Li Tianyang's arrival, but also showed that Guan Juxiong's current toughness with them was actually just a strategy in business negotiations.

"Well, it's true that Admiral Li is in Yuegang now, but if you want to meet your lordship, I'm afraid you will have to wait a while."

"Otherwise, let's talk about it here today, and when the owner of my family has time, I invite everyone to continue to discuss this matter, and at the same time, please go back and prepare the goods that should be compensated, so as not to make excuses after we negotiate between us, it will not look good!"

This time, the various firms gathered together to negotiate with Hongmen, but in fact, everyone gathered together to pressure Qixintang to give up the compensation in the contract.

However, Guan Juxiong had already received instructions from Li Tianyang, and he had always behaved very hard-heartedly, not backing down at all, which made these united deputies feel troublesome.

"But let's talk ugly in front, our Hongmen is not a good man and a woman, in private, you should not fight other bad ideas, if you want to find someone to take the blame, it is best not to think about it, otherwise if you don't abide by the rules of the mall, then our Hongmen will not talk to you politely!"

Before the representatives of the families left, Guan Juxiong once again put down the cruel words, which made all the people on the other side nervous, turned around and left in a hurry.

At this time, Li Tianyang was no longer in Yuegang, but went straight to the location of the Fujian Governor's Yamen, and met the current Fujian Governor Xiao Yifu, and listened to his ears.

"You've made things so thin this time, have you ever thought about how to end it?"

Futai Xiao Yifu met with this titular subordinate in the official residence, and politely asked the other party.

"Don't worry, Lord Futai, they are just ordinary businessmen, forgive them and they can't afford to make any big waves, as long as Lord Futai supports the lower officials, and the other party is the backer in the court, those adults are being overwhelmed by the group of homeless rebels in the north at this time, where is the time to really meddle in this side of the matter!"

At least on the surface, Li Tianyang maintained the necessary respect for the incumbent Fujian governor in front of him, and his voice still had a forward-looking attitude, which even satisfied Futai Xiao Yifu.

Zhu Yifeng has already been promoted to other places, and then Fujian has served as Zou Weilian, Shen Youlong and other Fujian governors, and now Xiao Yifu, and Li Tianyang's relationship is very harmonious.

First, it is natural that the Hongmen people are extremely rule-abiding, never preying on the common people, invading the coastal villages, but taking the initiative to maintain the peace of the Ming Maritime Frontier and repelling countless coveted by foreign people from the sea; Second, it is also Li Tianyang who knows how to be a person, and there has always been a lot of filial piety every year, and he is extremely deferential in front of everyone, plus the secret relationship between him and the current Emperor Chongzhen, outsiders may not know, but when it comes to the governor level, it is not difficult to understand one or two.
