Chapter 26: Deliberation (2)
"My reason is much simpler, this time the Wusi army went directly south and took away all the craftsmen in my workshop, and my foundation is in Qingquan County, this time the loss is not small, so now I urgently need money to buffer it. The original buyers of my wood products were the people around Qingquan County, and the business was not big, barely enough for the capital, and the craftsmen were gone, so I simply sold them directly. Zhang Rang said in detail.
Jing Zetian heard Zhang Rang's words, and also thought about it carefully, Zhang Rang's situation is normal, it belongs to reducing losses, anyway, his workshop is not a big part of the profit, and it saves a lot of trouble if he sells it.
Jing Zetian thought for a while and said, "That's it, the two of you bought it in the workshop, but this time the transaction method is different." ”
"Oh? What's different about the way of trading, isn't it that you pay the money, and we give the deed and the craftsman. Huang Lesong asked suspiciously.
"Well, that's the case, I'll pay for it directly, but Shopkeeper Huang has other ideas and wants to talk to you alone." Jing Zetian also said his thoughts.
"Well, I'll take the deed now, the title deed, and I can trade it directly." Zhang Rang said with interest, anyway, his goal has been achieved, and he can leave directly after the transaction.
"Well, Xiao Zhuozi took the money to Shopkeeper Zhang, this time I troubled Shopkeeper Zhang to run in person, and I have the opportunity to invite Shopkeeper Zhang to eat wine in Xia Zuodong another day." Jing Zetian said politely.
"yes, definitely."
After Xiao Zhuozi gave the money to Zhang Rang, the house deed and land deed already belonged to Jing Zetian, in addition to agricultural land in Huaguo, commercial land such as workshops, as long as there is a house deed and land deed, you can trade directly, and you don't need to go to the government to report.
Zhang Rang left directly after finishing his errands, leaving Jing Zetian's people and Huang Lesong alone.
"Presumably the shopkeeper Huang also has someone in the court." Jing Zetian said directly to the point, since he wants to cooperate with others, he naturally wants to be direct.
"That's natural, which trading house doesn't have the backing of people in the court? Otherwise, it will not be able to develop at all. Huang Lesong did not hide it.
"I don't know if the shopkeeper Huang is convenient to tell which minister of the imperial court is behind your Huang firm." Jing Zetian then asked, to be able to smoothly become bigger and stronger in the cross-border trade, without the assistance of people in the imperial court, when there is civil strife in the country, to be able to get out of Dahua has to pay a lot of price, for businessmen, profits and risks are not proportional.
"Oh? I don't know what Young Master Zhen asked about what this has to do with our cooperation? Shopkeeper Huang said after taking a sip of tea.
"Hehe, it's okay, just ask, and if it's inconvenient to say, it won't affect our cooperation." Jing Zetian said with a smile, even if he didn't say it, he could check it afterwards, it is estimated that Xiao Zhuozi is already investigating, after all, he has been in a hurry for the past two days, and Xiao Zhuozi is a little busy alone.
"That's not it, it's not a secret that the backstage of my Huang family firm is Mo Ke, the general of Zhenxi in the imperial court." Huang Lesong said, and at the same time, he was also thinking about what Jing Zetian was planning.
It turned out to be him, and after Jing Zetian heard Huang Lesong's words, he also suddenly realized. Mo Ke also knew that he was an important general of the western army, and he had a lot of power in the army, and he was also a trusted general of his father, otherwise he would not have arranged to guard the west of Dahua.
"It turns out that the backstage of the shopkeeper Huang is so powerful, I admire it." Jing Zetian praised that he could catch the line of Mo Ke, and this Huang shopkeeper was indeed a capable person.
"Hehe, Young Master Zhen doesn't need to be so polite, I think your identity must not be an ordinary person." Shopkeeper Huang also said that he had actually seen something.
"Oh? I don't know why the shopkeeper Huang said this? Jing Zetian asked deliberately.
"This steward of yours, in fact, I knew from the beginning that he was a subordinate in the palace, and it was easy to judge by his actions." Huang Lesong looked at Xiao Zhuozi and said. However, for the sake of face, he did not directly say that he was a eunuch, and the eunuch also wanted face outside.
"Well, yes, good eyesight, you're right." Jing Zetian admitted.
"I, Huang Lesong, went west to the east, and I didn't have any eyesight, and I was already swallowed up by other commercial houses." Huang Lesong said confidently.
"Do you know who I am?" A smile appeared on Jing Zetian's face.
"Now in the palace, the older princes have already left the cabinet, and at your age, there are only six princes, if you guess correctly." Huang Lesong said calmly.
"Papapa" Jing Zetian clapped his hands and said, "Yes, you guessed my identity early on." ”
"That's not it, I was sure when His Highness asked me just now, if there is anything inappropriate in my previous words, I hope Your Highness will not blame you." Huang Lesong said with his hands clenched into fists.
"You're thinking too much about this, today we don't care about our identity, we only talk about business." Jing Zetian said with a smile.
"Then you're welcome, I don't know what business Your Highness wants to talk to me about today?" Huang Lesong asked the question that had always puzzled him, what kind of calculation did this sixth prince make.
"That's right, you also know my identity, if you are directly engaged in business, it is estimated that the imperial history should impeach me, so I want to partner with you in the business of this carpentry workshop." Jing Zetian stated his purpose.
This is also his thought after careful consideration, at first he wanted to do business by himself, make his own decisions, and the people below do things for him, so that he is not easy to be impeached by the imperial history, but after thinking about it, business is not a family, there must be an expert in charge, although his uncle's family is a ready-made resource, but now Jing Zetian can not use it. So I thought about whether I could partner with the businessman who sold the workshop, and the other party contributed his own technology, and the other party contributed money, with his technology, I believe that as long as the businessman wants to make money, he will not refuse, and then there is today's dinner.
And to Jing Zetian's surprise, this Huang Lesong turned out to be the shopkeeper of a multinational trading firm, and this is a talent, so he plans to get together to do business.
"Hehe, Your Highness, you also know that it is precisely because of my poor management that I sold this workshop, not because I am unwilling, but because I am afraid of delaying His Highness's affairs." Huang Lesong said with a wry smile that this carpentry workshop had dealt a heavy blow to his self-confidence.
"Shopkeeper Huang, in fact, you have to worry too much about this matter, since I dare to cooperate with you, I must do it with the intention of making money." Jing Zetian explained.
"Your Highness, shopping malls are like battlefields, if you don't have absolute certainty, I'm still honestly running my old business, and it's difficult to open up new business." Huang Lesong also persuaded Jing Zetian bitterly, not wanting this young prince to be planted here, which was not good for him or for himself.
