Chapter 437: A Trip to Jiangnan (5)

"What!? This is still called simple, but it is also called undemanding? Tian Wan's voice immediately raised a few degrees, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, the whole person exploded, and he yelled angrily, "Jimin, you won't be crazy, right?" What a behemoth the two Huai salt merchants, you are going to provoke them? ”

Liu Fan laughed and said, "Why should my father-in-law panic? When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, isn't there still me? The two Huai salt merchants are just mere businessmen, can they still turn the sky upside down? ”

Tian Wan smiled bitterly and persuaded, "Jimin, you may not know anything about Jiangnan if you stay in Shandong all year round. Although the two salt merchants www.biquge.info are merchants, they are not so easy to deal with. Although it is true that they are merchants, they are indeed the most powerful merchant group. Not to mention you and me, even if you add the one in the palace, it won't make much difference. Listen to the old man's advice, don't provoke them, okay? ”

"Ready to fly, I have to send it! The development of the Broken Army to the present is supported by the benefits brought by refined salt. The contradictions between me and the two Huai salt merchants are irreconcilable, and even if I don't deal with them, these people have never stopped suppressing us. Instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a go! Liu Fan said coldly with a calm face, "Besides, we are not without a chance of winning." Even if it fails, at most it will only lose the market in Jiangnan. After all, this world has to rely on strength to speak, I have an army of 5,000 and more than a dozen warships anchored in Hangzhou Bay, which provoked Lao Tzu, and directly led the army to kill in, and the knife was on the neck, I see who dares to object! ”

"Don't! Don't be impulsive! Hearing Liu Fan's murderous words, cold sweat broke out on Tian Wan's head. He's just an ambitious speculator, but he doesn't want to face a sword-to-war situation. Tian Wan said bitterly: "Jimin, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Shuying for us!" Shuying's sister is a concubine, if you use martial arts in Jiangnan, she will have to eat and fall with her! ”

Liu Fan nodded and said, "The son-in-law that my father-in-law said understands that I will not use swords until the last resort." Since the father-in-law is reluctant to intervene if he has concerns, the son-in-law will not force you! ”

Tian Wan was overjoyed when he heard this, and before he could be happy for a moment, he heard Liu Fan's leisurely voice ringing in his ears: "Father-in-law, don't be happy too early, you choose to stay out of the matter and not interfere in this matter." I can understand your distress, but does the Lianghuai Salt Chamber of Commerce believe you? You know, you're my father-in-law, and that won't change at any time. Once I fail, it's a big deal that I admit to leaving Jiangnan, and they don't dare to do anything to me with the army on their side. But what about you? Do you dare to pat your chest and promise that they won't be angry with you because of this? ”

Does Tian Wan dare to guarantee it? He didn't dare to say that he could not be affected at all. As Liu Fan said, the relationship between him and Liu Fan is clear to you, and now Liu Fan lives in his house again. The mud fell in the crotch of his pants, and even if he had a thousand mouths, he couldn't tell! Thinking of this, Tian Wan couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Jimin can be regarded as grasping the pit, until now, what can the old man say?" Let the old man do something, you can tell me directly! ”

Liu Fan smiled and said happily, "Since my father-in-law has figured it out, how can I say that we are all a family, how can my son-in-law harm you?" Well, if you feel wronged, I can compensate you. The profit of perfume is not enough, not only that, if you feel that it is not enough, the son-in-law can also call the shots, allowing you to buy refined salt in Jiaozhou in unlimited quantities, and then sell it in Nanjing, and the profit of the son-in-law will not take a penny, all of them will belong to you! ”

"Is that so?" Tian Wan secretly estimated that if everything Liu Fan said was true, then he would not only be able to enjoy the huge profits brought by the perfume business alone, but also get a share of Liu Fan's refined salt business. The superposition of the two phases can have at least nearly one million taels of silver per year, one million a year, ten years is ten million, how much is twenty years? Tian Wan's breathing was a little short. gasped a few times, gritted his teeth and said, "Say, what do you want the old man to do?" Hurt people and set fires or kill people for money? As long as you are within your ability, the old man's life will be handed over to you! ”

"Hehe..."Liu Fan shook his head again and again and said, "No, no, no, my father-in-law may have misunderstood, no matter what the son-in-law says, he is also a dignified and first-class chief military officer, how can he do such a thing?" Since it's a fight in the mall, let's follow the rules of the mall! The refined salt in Jiaozhou is the best product, and we have a good chance of winning when we fight clearly. All that's missing is some sales channels and enough helpers! My father-in-law has been in Jiangnan for a long time, I don't know what way to go? ”

If you get cheap, you can sell well! Tian Wan despised Liu Fan fiercely, lowered his head and began to think. Now that he is on the thief ship, he can only try to ensure that the ship will not sink. After a long time, Tian Wan said bitterly, "Jimin, I won't tell you, although the old man is the national abbot, he is also the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei." But the influence is really not that big! You also know the situation in Jiangnan, the old man, the abbot of the country, is just a clown jumping off the beam in the eyes of those Donglin gentlemen, the emperor is not afraid, how can he be afraid of me, a relative? ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, Tian Wan also understood what his situation was. If he wants to really defeat the two Huai salt merchants, he must make a real contribution. But the current situation is that Tian Wan is powerless if he wants to contribute!

Liu Fan naturally wouldn't really pin his hopes on Tian Wan, who was at best just a "stepping stone" for Liu Fan. But this "stepping stone" is also very useful, at this time, Liu Fan didn't want to discourage Tian Wan's enthusiasm, so he had to say patiently, "Father-in-law, you may have misunderstood, I never said that I only relied on the strength of the two of us to defeat the two Huai salt merchants." We need more helpers, Jiangnan is not monolithic, there must be many people who are dissatisfied with the monopoly of such huge interests by the two Huai salt merchants. All we have to do is find these people and bring them over! You are always the head snake in Nanjing, it should not be difficult for you to find them! ”

Tian Wan then understood what Liu Fan was thinking, and pointed at Liu Fan with a smile and said, "Feelings, your kid is waiting for the old man here!" That's it, for Ying'er's sake, the old man will be a pawn for you! However, the old man still needs a little time to prepare, and after three days, the old man will give you the result? ”

Liu Fan nodded and said, "Well, then it's troublesome for my father-in-law!" ”

"By the way, father-in-law, you have to take care of this candidate! Don't choose people who are too ambitious or have ulterior motives! It seemed that he thought of something, Liu Fan said uneasily

"Stinky boy, can't even the old man believe it? The old man eats more salt than you eat, don't I understand what to do? If it's cheap, it's good, get out of here! I'm annoyed when I see you! (To be continued.) )
