Wang Huaqiang waved his hand: "Three, in business, the reason why An Xinggui wants to send someone to assassinate you is not because of how much he hated you in the past, but because you are now dividing his shop and driving him out of Guzang, so that his hundreds of years of family struggle have been in vain, if the three of you can politely welcome him back to Guzang now and allow him to continue to operate here, presumably An Xinggui will continue to be friends with you." ”

Cao Zhen shouted uncontrollably again: "Wang Huaqiang, what kind of bad idea do you have, if the three of us give the surname An such an assassination, we can not do it, how can we still mix in Guzang in the future?" Besides, the surname An is that he broke the rules first, and we drove him away according to the rules passed down from our ancestors, so how can we invite him back again. ”

Li Fan also frowned: "Wang Xingshou, although it is better to settle the grievance, but if you give in unprincipled concessions to people like An Xinggui, it is not the blessing of you and me, this request, I will not obey my fate." ”

Liang Shuo, who had been gloomy and did not speak, suddenly asked: "Wang Xingshou, I want to hear the reason why you welcomed An Xinggui back first, you will never say that you want to laugh at the grudge, we are all businessmen, and we will not do anything that is not beneficial." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and stroked his goatee, and nodded: "Liang Xingshou still sees it thoroughly, in business, we are all business people, and what love and hatred we talk about are all false, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

That is, five years ago, in this hall, the three of us were discussing how to squeeze me out of Guzang with An Xinggui at that time, and now, the four of us are not here to discuss how to deal with An Xinggui, so everything is possible. Just see if it's worth it. ”

Liang Shuo said coldly: "I agree with your point of view, in business, the relationship between everyone is determined by the cold interests, but I don't see any benefit to us now to get An Xinggui back, Wang Xingshou, you should at least give us an analysis of one, two, three, right?" ”

Wang Huaqiang stood up and paced around the round table unhurriedly: "If the three of them killed An Xinggui's entire clan at that time, or at least they could break his foundation in the Western Regions. Let him have no money and no power to take revenge on us, and that's it, but the three of them fought the snake and did not die, and only expelled him, and as a result, he has now become a powerful merchant in the Western Regions. controlled a considerable part of the Silk Road trade, and if he continued like this, he would control the trade of the entire Western Regions. Then he won't have to send assassins to assassinate us. Directly cut off the Silk Road, and we all have to drink the northwest wind. ”

When Wang Huaqiang said this, he happened to walk behind Cao Zhen, his hand gently pressed on Cao Zhen's shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Cao Xingshou, did you say it?" ”

Cao Zhen snorted disdainfully. Ignoring Wang Huaqiang's hand on his shoulder, he hummed: "He dares!" With the courage of the three of him, he didn't dare to cut off the Silk Road trade, without this Silk Road, even if he could dominate the trade of the Western Regions. Sooner or later, you have to sit and eat empty. ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "Whether he is sitting and eating empty is his business, I only say that we, if An Xinggui really does this by then, then how many years can we Guzang businessmen eat?" ”

Li Fan replied coldly: "Wang Xingshou, your worry is a bit redundant, although An Xinggui is greedy, he is definitely not a fool, the countries of the Western Regions, there is almost no output that can be handled, and most of the income depends on the transportation of the Silk Road, don't say that he is a businessman, that is, the Khan of the Western Turks, and the kings of the Western Regions, they dare not say that the Silk Road is broken, and he An Xinggui wants to cut off the Silk Road? Hmph, that's a dream. ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head and continued to say as he walked: "Of course An Xinggui doesn't have this ability, but he can instigate, now the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks are in flames, so this Silk Road has no other path than passing through this Guzang and going straight to the Central Plains, but think about it, what if the relationship between the two Turks eases?"

What if the Eastern Turks could also trade with the Great Sui on the border and take the route of Daizhou and Shuozhou? After all, Yangguan outside Dunhuang is separated from the Western Regions by 7,000 miles of desert, and this road is not easy to walk, and it is not impossible to take the east-Turk route, President Li, what do you say? ”

The corners of Li Cang's mouth twitched, and his usually amiable smile became serious: "Wang Xingshou, what you said about this, no one has done it since Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions, I don't think anyone will be so reluctant to go to the Turks to go around in such a big circle, not to mention that the two Turks in the East and the West are now incompatible, how can they be united?" ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "Each of them lives in this Guzang place, it is difficult to know the general trend of the world, the current Eastern Turkic Dulan Khan, and my dynasty can be said to have a hatred of taking his wife, the reason why he has been enduring it is because he can't bear it, if it really comes to the time when he can't bear it, he will definitely make peace with Datou Khan and enter the Central Plains." ”

Liang Shuo's face changed slightly: "Wang Xingshou, you are worried too much, even if they unite, the business of the Silk Road will not be interrupted, back then, the Sha Bolu Khan and the Datou Khan also joined forces to attack the Central Plains with 400,000 troops, and the business of the Silk Road has not been interrupted for a day." A war is a war, and a business is a business, two different things. ”

Wang Huaqiang suddenly laughed: "Liang Xingshou, when Datou Khan invaded, you didn't have any enmity with him, as far as I know, you also sent him tens of millions of money and a large amount of military funds at that time, and he received this money to bypass Guzang and Hesi County, but ran to Shuozhou, and it meant nothing on the border, right?" ”

The muscles on Li Fan's face trembled: "So what, this is the way for my Guzang businessmen to preserve for many years, Wang Xingshou, there will really be such a day in the future, you are also a member of the Guzang Chamber of Commerce, and when the time comes, you will also obey the collective decision of the Chamber of Commerce and pay money to buy peace from these Turks." Do you understand? ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "Do you think that if you come like this again, Datou Khan will still accept your money and let Gu Zang go?" Last time, he knew that you betrayed him and secretly did business with Dulan Khan, and you can see how much he hates you from his reuse of An Xinggui over the years, the old method of the three of you is afraid that it won't work, and people always have to leave an extra way out for themselves, isn't it? ”

Liang Shuo's yin and yang strange voice sounded coldly again: "Wang Xingshou, even if we can make peace with An Xinggui, you don't seem to have this qualification, he knows very well that it was you Wang Huaqiang who drove him out of Guzang back then, and even drove him out of Gaochang, and a few of us were just forced by Han Baohu's pressure, besides, it is no one else who occupies An Xinggui's original property now, but you Wang Xingshou, you are here now talking about how deep the hatred between the three of us and An Xinggui is, don't you think it's ridiculous?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyebrows moved: "This is the focus of our negotiation this time, if everyone has no objection to getting An Xinggui back, and then valuing peace and letting him join the Guzang Chamber of Commerce again, now we can talk about what conditions to offer him." ”

Cao Zhen's thick throat rang again: "Wait, we haven't promised to get him back, this kid has assassinated us several times, how can it be so easy?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said coldly: "Now he can't kill you, we can't kill him, even if we kill him, we can't destroy his clan, his descendants will continue to send people to assassinate us, assassinate our descendants, this revenge will never end." If we want to resolve our grudges and reduce our business losses on the Silk Road because we are enemies of him, the only way is to let go of our hatred and shake hands and make peace. ”

The fat on Li Fan's face jumped, noncommittal, but it was obviously a tacit acquiescence.

Liang Shuo also stood up, walked in front of Wang Huaqiang, and looked him in the eyes: "Wang Xingshou, we are here to drive away An Xinggui's wicked people, but the benefit he left behind is that you got it, and the three of us honestly haven't gotten anything in the past few years, since you said that you want to get An Xinggui back, my Liang family can agree, but you don't want to damage the interests of my Liang family."
