Chapter 13 Negotiations
Overnight, the leader of Jinfan successfully completed the replacement.
The next day, Wang Chong ordered Gan Ning and Ren Jiang to take in the Feng family's servants, except for more than 20 personal guards who were still loyal to Feng Yan, the remaining 300 people would all be integrated into Jinfan.
And Wang Chong himself asked Zhuge Jin to invite Feng Yan and his housekeeper Feng Shan to discuss the two ships of Shu brocade and the ransom.
"Gong Feng, is Gongzi in a better mood?"
"Thank you for the leader's concern, the dog's mood has stabilized much compared to yesterday!" Feng Yanru sat down like an old monk and waited for Wang Chong to follow.
"Old fox!" Seeing this, Wang Chong scolded secretly, and simply got straight to the point, "Gong Feng, my Jinfan currently has no fixed place to live, and what I do is a knife licking blood, and those two boats of Shu brocade don't have much practical significance except for bringing us a few gorgeous clothes for Jinfan, so I plan to return these Shu brocades to Feng Gong, what does Feng Gong think?" ”
Feng Yan's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he said with disdain in his heart: "You robber would be so kind? ”
But he was not in a hurry: "If the leader is willing to return Shu Jin to the old man, the old man will naturally be grateful, but I am afraid that the leader will open his mouth again and ask the old man for more!" ”
"Feng Gong laughed, how could he be the kind of person who is insatiable?" Wang Chongpi said with a smile, "I just want to have an equivalent exchange with Feng Gong, and use these two ships of Shu brocade to exchange other goods of the same value to Feng Gong!" ”
"You're not a lion opening your mouth!?" Feng Shan, the housekeeper beside Feng Yan, was angry when he heard this, and said angrily, "As soon as you open your mouth, you ask us for millions of goods, isn't the leader afraid of eating hard?" What's more, these two ships of Shu brocade were originally our Feng family's things! ”
Compared with Feng Shan, Feng Yan was quite calm, but his face was also extremely different.
"Steward Feng himself said it, originally, originally!" Wang Chong's eyes were as cold as a sword, "But now, it belongs to our Jinfan, and even the head that Steward Feng is hanging on his neck now is also pinched in our Jinfan's hand, does Steward Feng think so?" ”
"You ......"
"Feng Shan, you step aside!" Feng Yan waved his hand to signal Feng Shan to be quiet.
In fact, since the merchant ship was robbed, Feng Yan didn't naively think that he could get the goods back from Jinfan's hands at no cost, even if these two ships of Shu brocade were not of much use to Jinfan, but Wang Chong's appetite was even greater than he imagined, in exchange for goods of the same value? What's in it for them? It's better to give these two ships of Shu brocade directly to Jinfan, and when the time comes, there will be no sales channels for Jinfan, except to make them to wear by themselves, they can only rot in the warehouse.
But can Feng Yan really break up with Wang Chong? Obviously not, because at this moment, the lives of their father and son are still in each other's hands.
"What does the leader want to exchange Shu brocade for?"
"Grain, grass, armor, weapons, medicine!" Wang Chong directly said the four necessities needed for war.
Feng Yan squinted his eyes and stared at Wang Chong meaningfully: "What does the leader want to do?" You must know that a million dollars is enough to arm an army of tens of thousands of people, and now there are less than 1,000 people under Jinfan's command, has the leader used so much? ”
"The Bird's Nest Knows the Ambition of the Bird?" Wang Chong chuckled, "Gong Feng, I Jinfan can't be a thief forever, I think it's better for Gong Feng to have a good relationship with us first, maybe in the future, the Feng family will have many places to ask us." ”
Feng Yan was silent for a moment: "Okay, the old man agreed!" ”
"Huh?" Wang Chong looked stunned, obviously he didn't expect Feng Yan to agree so happily, "Is what Gong Feng said seriously?" ”
"The old man has always been a man of his word!" Feng Yan nodded, and then explained, "One, the leader holds the lives of my father and son, and we have no choice to survive; The two, the prince and the general, rather have a kind of, although the leader is reckless at this time, but the temperament of conversation is extraordinary, and he may really be able to achieve something great in the future, the old man actually wants to see how far the leader can go, not to mention the millions of wealth, it will not make my Feng family hurt my bones. ”
"You're going to see it, and it's going to be a big surprise to you!" Wang Chong smiled, smiling very confidently, this smile not only infected the master and servant of the Feng family, but even Zhuge Jin was also attracted by Wang Chong.
In just a few conversations, Wang Chong had the capital to form an army of tens of thousands of people, which made Zhuge Jin feel extremely shocked, if he obtained a legitimate identity from the imperial court in the future and received follow-up funding from Feng's firm, maybe he could really do something great in this troubled era.
If Zhuge Jin's promise to stay in Jinfan was more out of desperation, then now, there is a little more expectation in his heart.
"In this way, the old man is waiting for the good news of the leader, in addition, the old man also hopes that this transaction can be carried out in secret, and I hope the leader will understand!"
"Feng Gong's concerns are understood, Feng Gong can rest assured, even if it is Jinfan, except for a few people, no one will know the source of these armor and grain!"
The Feng family's roots are in Chaisang, and with Jinfan's strength, even if all the water thieves in Poyang Lake are subdued, it is impossible to have the ability to guard Chaisang in a short period of time. And with the importance of Chaisang's geographical location, once Jinfan occupies Chaisang, I am afraid that it will attract Sun Ce's crazy onslaught, and before his own strength reaches a certain level, Wang Chong will not be stupid enough to fight Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the golden pair, head-on.
Therefore, in order to avoid the Feng family being unnecessarily attacked after Sun Ce occupied Chaisang, it was absolutely necessary for the transaction to be carried out in secret.
"In this way, the old man will thank the leader!" Hearing Wang Chong's answer, the last big stone in Feng Yan's heart finally fell, as for the loss this time, it should be regarded as a wealth and disaster, and if Jinfan can really succeed in the future, as the first family to fund Jinfan, the status of the Feng family will inevitably rise, although from the current point of view, this possibility is very slim, after all, Sun Ce's unification of Jiangdong has become a trend, how can it be so easy to break this situation?
In the final analysis, although Feng Yan admires Wang Chong's ambition, his confidence in him is actually not very sufficient, and the reason why he agreed to Wang Chong's request without saying a word just now is nothing more than a negotiation skill.
Wang Chong's attitude is very tough, Feng Yan knows that even if he continues to fight with him, there should not be much progress, and in the end, in order to save his life, he still has to compromise, so instead of ending the relationship between the two sides with a stiffen, it is better to sell personal favors directly, in this way, it will make the other party feel embarrassed and apologize to himself.
"Where is Gong Feng, if you really want to talk about it, you have to thank Gong Feng for it." Wang Chong smiled, "This time in Feng Gong's empty gloves white wolf, what he did in the next is really not authentic, this matter is the right when I Jinfan owes Feng Gong a favor, if Feng Gong is sent in the future, as long as he can do it, he will not push it back." ”
"Okay, the next specific matters will be left to Ziyu to discuss with Gong Feng." Wang Chong said and wanted to get up and leave, and then seemed to think of something, turned to Zhuge Jin and said, "By the way, Ziyu, there are still a lot of things in my Jinfan's warehouse, such as salt, tea, jewelry, etc., you can go and count it later, discount the market price to Feng Gong, and exchange more armor and grain." ”
"This ...... This is simply a forced buy and a strong sale! Looking at Wang Chong's departing figure, Feng Shan said angrily.
Feng Yan also shook his head with a wry smile, Wang Chong's domineering made his bargaining skills in the business completely useless, I just hope that next, the young man who took his hitchhiker, but now he has taken refuge in Jinfan, can be dealt with a little easier.
