Chapter 492 - Conclusion of Treaties
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and one morning in early July, Liu Fan and the two Huai salt merchants in the city of Nanjing returned to the negotiating table again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info But this time they didn't come to negotiate, but to formally conclude an alliance.
In the living room of Tianfu, Liu Fan's side, including Liu Fan himself, Xu Wenjue, Zhang Yixian, Tian Wan and others, more than ten people. Wang Yong, Zhao Yan, Wu Zhi, Li Wei and more than a dozen representatives of the two Huai salt merchants gathered together, and after a fierce verbal exchange, the two parties finally reached a final agreement and signed a covenant of cooperation.
The general content of the treaty is as follows: 1. The cessation of hostilities shall be carried out immediately after the agreement between the two parties. Liu Fan's side must no longer make any commercial competition measures that are unfavorable to the two Huai salt merchants, and the two Huai salt merchants must also cancel any unfavorable actions against Liu Fan and his allies, and release the arrested traders within ten days.
Second, the two parties will cooperate to establish a chamber of commerce. Once established, the Chamber will be responsible for mediating and deepening cooperation between the two parties. The president is Liu Fan himself, and the vice presidents are Xu Wenjue and Wang Yong respectively.
Third, Liu Fan's side must transfer the refined salt purification method and soap manufacturing technology to the two Huai salt merchants for a fee, and the two Huai salt merchants will have to pay 15 million taels of silver for this, and the payment for the goods will be paid in installments within five years.
In addition to the above three articles, the two sides have also added some offensive and defensive alliance clauses. In general, the Pact has only fulfilled the results of the last negotiations, and has not made any substantial progress. However, for the two shots, they are already satisfied with these conditions.
The day after the treaty was signed, the people of Nanjing suddenly found that the Jiaozhou salt merchants and the Lianghuai salt merchants, who had been fighting each other, suddenly died down. Although the promotions continued, the people of Nanjing noticed the difference, as both salt merchants stopped lowering their prices. As time passed, instead of continuing to decrease, the price of salt began to rise slowly, until it rose to about 150 yuan, and then stopped.
It was the next day that an explosive news suddenly came from the Jiangnan Times. Because Liu Fa himself suddenly published a signed article in the Jiangnan Times. In the article, Liu Fan first expressed his apologies, saying that during this period of time, because of the commercial competition between him and the two Huai salt merchants, he had brought great trouble to the people of Jiangnan, and Liu Fan himself felt very sorry for this. Then Liu Fan said that through his continuous efforts, they had reached an understanding with the two Huai salt merchants, and from today onwards, there would be no more hostility, and the Jiangnan salt industry would return to a peaceful situation. In the end, Liu Fan also said that because he felt the serious consequences of vicious competition, he would join hands with the two Huai salt merchants to calm the commotion, stabilize the salt price, and promised to maintain the salt price in Jiangnan at about 15 Wen, and try not to increase it as much as possible.
After the publication of this article, it immediately caused a huge storm in the entire Jiangnan, and almost the entire people of Jiangnan were discussing this matter. Among them, the people are very concerned about the cooperation that Liu Fan said, and what they really care about is whether the price of salt in Jiangnan will rise again. Fortunately, Liu Fan made a written guarantee at the end, and the people of Jiangnan were immediately relieved. As long as they can buy good and cheap salt, they don't care who wins and who loses in the battle between these magnates!
However, Liu Fan's actions made many people in Jiangnan have a good impression of him, because smart people know that it is precisely because of Liu Fan's arrival that the current situation of salt prices in Jiangnan will appear, and this situation is very beneficial to them. If it weren't for Liu Fan, they wouldn't have been able to buy such good and cheap salt.
After the covenant was signed, for Liu Fan, the affairs of Jiangnan could be regarded as over. After this operation, Liu Fan also got what he wanted, and Haiyan from Jiaozhou has successfully entered the market in Jiangnan. And Liu Fan also got a big windfall because he sold the secret recipe for purifying refined salt.
In the next time, he can also walk around with confidence, and he doesn't have to worry about being shot suddenly after going out. Since the war with the two Huai salt merchants, Liu Fan rarely stepped out of the gate of Tianfu, and even if there was something to do, he would leave it to his subordinates to deal with. The reason why Liu Fan is like this, in addition to worrying that the two Huai Salt Chamber of Commerce will jump off the wall in a hurry, is mainly to calm people's hearts. After all, he is the leader of this business war, and he doesn't want to give an unstable impression to his allies because of a momentary pleasure.
Now that these worries are completely unnecessary, the ancient merchants still valued credibility, and even if there was no written guarantee, once they reached an agreement, they would do their best to abide by it. And now there is no big conflict of interest between Liu Fan and the two Huai salt merchants, but because of the relationship of cooperation, the two parties have some intention of turning enemies into friends. Liu Fan also believes that in this case, the salt merchants of the two Huai will not be stupid enough to lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, and destroy such a good situation because of some trivial things.
