Chapter 119: Profiteers and Cheap Merchants
Zhang Wuneng entered the door with his entourage, saying that he was going upstairs to gather and invite him to dinner, with a generous smile and flattery. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
said, "Dad, it turns out that you are here, I heard that you have been to the gambling house, the child is a little reckless and offended, and I hope to forgive me, I don't know about the last business, do you remember?" ā
Caizi also has this intention, the last time he was in Qinglou in Yuntai County, he gave Zhang Wuneng the business of the East Chamber to discuss, and it is like this in business, there are only eternal interests, no eternal enemies.
"Of course, if you make money, you will definitely make money, by the way, I heard that you want to open a restaurant, and I will sell this restaurant to you at a loss, you must sell me a face." Cai Zi laughed.
"That's that, it's just the tax of this gambling house-" Zhang Wuneng doesn't care about the restaurant, what he cares about is the business he talked about with Caizi in Yuntai County last time, the county guard of this East Chamber is Su Mu, and he is Cai Zi's father-in-law, and he can't be offended when doing business in East Chamber.
"The matter of taxation depends on your sincerity."
"It's easy to say, how many silver taels is this restaurant?"
Cai Zi said helplessly, "It's only 10,000 taels, acquaintances will give you a discount, 8,800 taels, who called us two old acquaintances, I will lose it, hey, I have to help you get through the officialdom, you see that I am so sincere." ā
Zhang Wuneng's face turned green when he heard this, and he remembered that Caizi in Yuntai County asked him to open a store in Dongxiang, and it was right to make a steady profit, but this is Su Mu's territory, that is, Caizi's territory, and the more than ten gambling houses that cost 50,000 taels of silver to open can't be suppressed and withdrawn because they offended Caizi.
It's over, it's set.
"Come, let's go upstairs and talk slowly." Cai Zi went to the kitchen to find the chef to order, and when he came back, he asked the old man to go to the gambling house to wait for a while, and he took the old man to see Ling'er when he was busy.
However, Shangguan Ziyan was silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
After he made the arrangement, he went upstairs, Zhang Wuneng smiled oldly, "You can order whatever you like, the old man has already eaten, and he is not hungry." ā
"You're not hungry, I'm hungry, okay, just twenty dishes." Cai Zi said seriously, eating with profiteers is like this, in order to reflect the spirit of a rich man, but this is spending other people's money.
Zhang Wuneng felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and he could only endure it, this pause would cost one or two hundred taels of silver, the more profiteers he valued, the more important he was to money, but the next thing was the main event, he smiled and said, "In the future, this tax-"
"Boss Zhang, I am a happy person, I will definitely do what I promise you, and in the future, your Zhang family will open a store in this East Chamber, and the tax will be exempted." Cai Zi replied, how much silver can this tax be worth, and quietly help Zhang Wu to come out.
It's just that Zhang Wuneng is immoral in business, the Zhang family that was obtained by the two families of Xiao Wang in the past is rich and rivals the national title, and now the Aya family has also fallen into the hands of his Zhang family, and the entire Yuntai County is almost all Zhang's industry, if it continues to develop like this, it will be difficult to bring it down in the future.
So this great plan Caizi has been thinking for a long time, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, and now the business circle of the east chamber is gradually developing and rising due to the addition of the Zhang family, which is Caizi deceived the Zhang family.
At this time, the chef brought the food up, and Zhang Wuneng personally served the rice and soup for him, so he asked, "I didn't expect that Lord Su Musu was your father-in-law, and Lao Yu opened more than ten gambling houses in this East Chamber according to your suggestion, and I hope that my father will take care of him more in the future." ā
"Of course, operate with integrity." Cai Zi took a sip of tea and asked the chef to present the four treasures of the study, Zhang Wuneng hissed, puzzled, "Childe, this is going to-"
Cai Zi looked very serious and serious, and said, "Things have to come step by step, let's get the deal done with this restaurant first and then talk about other things." ā
Zhang Wuneng was shocked and almost choked to death by the tea, the restaurant of 8,800 taels lost money, but if you want the business of the gambling house to flourish, you must follow Caizi's meaning, if it is not according to his meaning, this gambling house is afraid that it will be difficult.
Therefore, it is necessary to make good connections with local famous people and eunuchs to do business, but the lifetime taxes of the ten gambling houses are actually not worth much silver, and they are mainly used as a bridge to win over.
Zhang Wuneng thought for a moment and replied, "In the future, the gambling house will be exempted from taxes for life?" ā
"I'm also a businessman, and I know that Boss Zhang can't trust me, so we have to set up a note, which promises to exempt you from taxes for life, and if I repent, it will be a breach of contract, and I will pay you 50,000 taels of silver. But if you want to withdraw from the store halfway and don't do it, it is also a breach of contract, and you will pay me 50,000 taels. Cai Zi's mind thought quickly, this is the main thing.
As soon as Zhang Wuneng heard this, he knew the depth of the quilt, and the 50,000 taels invested in opening the store could not be wasted, "Son, I will also compensate for the withdrawal of the store, are you too inhumane?" ā
This treacherous Boss Zhang forcibly seized other people's Aya's property, has he ever thought about humanity? Where does the design of the three joint ventures reflect humanity? What's humane about dealing with scum like you?
But if you listen to Caizi obediently, the gambling house in the East Chamber can indeed make money, but it was just used by Caizi, as early as when he was in the Qinglou of Yuntai County, he was talking about business.
He said, "We're old friends, isn't that poker cooperation also making your gambling house business prosperous, can't you trust me?" Do your business well, and I won't treat you badly. ā
As soon as Zhang Wuneng heard it, he immediately understood the meaning of his words, why did he let himself open the store first, it was purely for Ke Zaozi to trap Zhang Wuneng, if he didn't do it according to his wishes, this East Chambers was already under the jurisdiction of Su Mu, and there was no protection from the officialdom, and it was only a matter of time before the store was withdrawn.
"Dad, you have played this abacus well, and I, Zhang Wuneng, am not afraid to tell the truth, this bit of silver is actually a drop in the bucket for my Zhang family, and you can't control me."
"Really?" Cai Zi saw him pierce the paper window, and asked with a smile.
Zhang Wu couldn't see that the good words didn't make sense, so he resumed his nouveau riche posture, slapped the table heavily, glared at Cai Zi angrily and shouted, "It's just a few tens of thousands of taels, it's okay to throw it away, the whole Dahua wants my Zhang family's property everywhere, do you know?" ā
Cai Zi was so happy that he tasted a little tea, "Then do you know that the Zhang family runs the gambling industry with playing cards and Zha Jinhua, if I tell you that I still have more than ten ways to play here, are you afraid?" By the way, you may not know how popular mahjong is, right? ā
"So, Boss Zhang, I still thank you for popularizing poker in the market, I didn't expect you to make poker your main business, if you want to change your career to other gambling equipment, do you think I will watch you transform?"
"All in all, please Boss Zhang operate in good faith, and don't engage in those annexation games, because the operation of your Zhang family has long been controlled by me."
Cai Zi said casually throughout the whole process, to say that he could say this last sentence, it was completely planned during the reform of the East Chamber, so the negotiation with the emperor more or less also had this purpose.
"You! What a god father, the old decay is not afraid of breaking the jar, your background has already been checked, just because you provoked the Qingyu Sect, you can die without a place to be buried, drink!" Zhang Wu glared angrily, and his long sleeves flicked his angry fingers.
Cai Zi was even more careless when he heard him say this, and he was amused in his heart, "Looking for the Qingyu Sect as a backer?" Hehe, by the way, the leader of the Qingyu Sect is still fighting with me today and turned me away. ā
