Chapter 360: Rewards and Punishments

Kong Yan was stunned, of course he understood what the Chen family had sent those loyal guys out to establish such and such an industry, and now the Chen family said that the only remaining one in front of him had fallen to Dongping and Yunzhou, and had become one of the most thorny figures in Xiling. And now, such a figure is in front of him. Kong Yan knew that if he revealed Chen Kai's current identity afterwards, even through some reliable channels, it would definitely cause a huge reaction. In particular, the chain reaction caused by the various industries to which the Chen family belongs is incalculable. Probably, all the merchants and merchants who persuaded him before and after or tried to influence him were all involved. But what if he gets out of here? Will Chen Kai give himself a chance to think about it, and will he give himself a chance to choose? The reason why he sent all his family members before was because he considered that in front of those super strong hands, if there was really any conflict, no matter how many people there were, it would be in vain. And now, if he dares to say half a word to Chen Kai, will he immediately be in a different place?

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Kong Yan's forehead. He didn't say a word, and waited quietly for Chen Kai's next words.

It was Tan Weixin who continued to speak, her voice was soft, and she said slowly: "Old Man Kong, because you are unmoved when others come to persuade you. Regardless of why you didn't make your choice, at least ...... That's an attitude, I guess that's it. And since that's what we'd like to see, it's only natural that you should be commended. This line of thinking is carried forward in the hands of the Kong family to this day, so continue to stay in the hands of your Kong family. I know that Xingsifang has a good relationship with the official, is well-informed, and can be regarded as a great use, but we are not strong. After Xingsifang, the Chen family only raised 10% of the annual operating profit, and no longer interfered with any business decisions of the Confucian family on Xingsifang. Naturally, they will not offer assistance and guidance. I believe that with the current identity and status of the Kong family, there is no need for the guidance of the Chen family. ”

Faced with Tan Weixin's conditions, Kong Yan became even more apprehensive. He did not expect that the Chen family's contact with himself would give such generous conditions. Profit ...... For an organization like Xingsifang, whose profits are not high, but which has an important relationship in the official face, this is tantamount to completely letting Xingsifang be autonomous.

"The original deeds of Xingsifang, and the only ones that can prove the relationship between Xingsifang and the Chen family, are now by my side. If you agree to these conditions, old man, as long as you say to all those who come to persuade you to take the initiative to leave in the future, you will not deviate from the Chen family, then I can destroy these deeds in front of you. You deserve the reward you deserve, and it should be what you want, right? Tan Weixin asked with a smile.

"Who are you?" Kong Yan asked.

"My surname is Dai," Tan Weixin smiled and replied. Again, this is a long-negotiated rhetoric.

What does this surname mean to a woman from Yunzhou? A woman from the Dai family appeared in front of everyone as Chen Kai's wife, which made Kong Yan overestimate Chen Kai's identity more and more.

"But...... Those documents ...... "What Kong Yan learned earlier, the Chen family put those important various documents in a very safe place, stored them, and kept them from being touched by others, even those colleagues who also had the dream of recovering the country, whether they were Miao descendants of the former dynasty or sect organizations. And Kong Yan also knew that the Chen family was very miserable when they were attacked and hunted by the Daoming Sect, and it was impossible to leave with a large number of things, so it is said that Chen Kai escaped from the Daoming Sect's fingers alone. So, now that these documents have returned to the hands of the Chen family, doesn't it mean that the Chen family can actually control these merchants directly or indirectly with these documents and the long-term tracking data of merchants in various places? The reason why those merchants dared to break away from the control of the Chen family was because there was no one in the Chen family to exercise this control, and on the other hand, because everyone thought that the Chen family actually had no way to control everyone.

At that moment, there was some horror in Kong Yan's eyes. He could naturally also expect that the Chen family had regained some of their power in Xiling through Yunzhou and Dongping, and was able to regain control of those important documents in their hands and put them in a safe place again. And this kind of imagination is very scary. This is probably the first time that Kong Yan, as a secret force, feels the threat of a secret force operating around him. Then, Kong Yan naturally understood why Chen Kai could have such well-informed information and knew that he had never expressed his position.

"The old man doesn't dare to have such extravagant hopes." Kong Yan said with a heart: "Our Kong family, generation after generation, can make Xingsifang bigger, although it is a family of merchants, but it has the bearing of a scholarly family, and is not discriminated against by those guests, and it is thanks to being able to have such a foundation at the beginning." For many generations, batches of craftsmen have also been continuously sent by the sect master to support. Without the Chen family, there would be no Kong family today. Since the Shaodong family is now the sole representative of the sect leader Chen family, my Kong family is naturally the only one who is the head of the Shaodong family. My Kong family will definitely be able to have a better development with the young owner. ”

Kong Yan's words made Ye Tao smile slightly, and he said, "That's it, it's very good." Then, I'll have to make 20% of the annual profit. The profits in those days when no one contacted you were given to the Kong family. As for your dealings with officials, you can do whatever you want. Don't take our side too seriously, I'll send someone to you when the need arises. ”

Kong Yan was stunned again, there was almost no change in this condition, and the profits of one percent and two percent really didn't feel anything for Kong Yan. Although Xingsifang is not very profitable now, the expenses are not large, and more importantly, the business category of Xingsifang determines that it is difficult for them to have any opportunities and needs to blindly expand the store or production scale. It is difficult for the Kong family and Xingsifang to make more money, but if they want to spend the money, they also need a little ability. In the past, the Chen family's annual profits were about 40%, and even then, it could be said that it had no impact on industries such as the Confucian family and Xingsifang, which marketed by reputation, rather than by output and price, and had very low cash flow requirements.

"Young owner, you are really generous." Kong Yan hurriedly thanked him.

"The troublesome things are still to come, and I still hope you can keep your mouth shut about my affairs in Xiling. Otherwise......" Ye Tao smiled and looked at Tan Weixin. Tan Weixin shrugged her shoulders noncommittally. Ye Tao continued: "Since there is a reward, there will naturally be a punishment. It's alert, but it's not fun. ”

Kong Yan's mind suddenly appeared a few people who made the most trouble, secretly shouting that he was lucky, fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly, and he dealt with the people in the official face a lot, and knew that it was much better to follow the strong than to do business with himself. But now, he couldn't help but sympathize with those who were also very determined. There are still some people among those people who have a decent relationship with him, but it's not a matter of discussing friendship now. He was still afraid that if he said anything to intercede, or if he revealed anything afterwards, he would also suffer.

"That's them...... Blame yourself ......" Kong Yan said ruthlessly;

"No," the hesitation in Kong Yan's tone was still accurately captured, and Tan Weixin patiently explained: "After all, the Chen family has not been able to help everyone for two years, and it is really normal to have some thoughts like this." It's just that you shouldn't contact outsiders to deal with your own people. There are some things that are inconvenient for Mr. Kong to know, but Mr. Kong, we have to do it, and we have no choice but to do it. ”

Tan Weixin's politeness made Kong Yan a little cramped, and he said cautiously: "Don't dare, the proprietor and his wife just call me Lao Kong." It's ...... to deal with."

"It's Nanshanxing." Ye Tao said frankly: "They ...... Some things are too out of line. ”

"The old man saves." Kong Yan said seriously: "Zi doesn't dare to leak half of the news. ”

The trip to Nanshan is indeed a bit excessive. After the Chen family was defeated, they directly fell to the Daoming Sect and became an important source of wealth for the Daoming Sect in the south. It's no longer a question of whether or not to take a firm stance. It is true that the business scope of Nanshan Xing ranges from southern goods to ordnance, and it was exposed to the Daoming Sect very early because of the various weapons of the secret organization such as the Eagle Hall, and it was also valued because of its wide range of business and far-reaching connections, but they did not hesitate to turn to the Daoming Sect, which still made the owners of the industries to which the Chen family belonged very indignant, even if they themselves used their brains one after another. And which industries belong to the Chen family, there are indeed many revealed through Nanshan Bank, especially those businesses that have business dealings with Nanshan Bank, almost without exception, they are under great pressure, and some of them are unable to continue their operations, so they can only turn to Daomingzong in attitude, and those businesses are indeed excusable.

"It's nothing, it's best not to leak it. Lao Kong, you just wait and see. Ye Tao said lightly. He suddenly said, "You still have to frame that painting." ”

Kong Yan was nervous by Ye Tao and Tan Weixin's nervous talk for a while, and this time the matter of the painting was mentioned again, Kong Yan glanced at the box that was now put aside by Guan Huan, and nodded again and again: "Be effective." Once I've got it done, I'll find someone to send it to the proprietor. ”

Ye Tao smiled and said, "Let's take a souvenir for you." This is one of the few gifts that Ye Jingluo gave me. It's just that it can't be hung out openly now, which is a pity. ”
