258 Negotiation
While Xu Yuanzuo was concentrating on building his own foundation, the Chongming Shen family was facing the most difficult period.
At the end of August and the beginning of September, after the hurricane hit Taizhou, I was still angry, and it ran over all the way to Chongming. Although Chongming has to resist the wind every year, this year's hurricane is really terrible, destroying houses and uprooting trees, torrential rain, and many people suffer because of this. The Shen family was naturally also implicated, and the loss was not small, but fortunately, the foundation was thick, and as long as there was a boat, it could recover.
However, many of the suffering people borrowed from the Shen family's loan sharks, and after this catastrophe, not only did they not pay back, but they also had to find the Shen family for help.
In the face of this situation, some people ignore it, and even rob the population to pay off their debts, which is the so-called inferior gentry. However, more people still have to take care of the friendship of the township party and the reputation of the family rooted here for generations. He didn't want to be saddled with the notoriety of "inferior gentry", so Shen Yujun left Chongming early and traveled to Nanjing, Suzhou and other large counties in China to purchase grain and timber in order to rebuild the place.
This seems to be something that the imperial court should do, but the disaster report may not be recognized, so the main force of disaster relief is still the local government. In most cases, the imperial court yamen came out to organize and ask people to take money, the so-called selling faces. When a disaster occurs in the future, the government mobilizes social fundraising.
Xu Yuanzuo wanted to see Shen Yujun, and passed the news through his uncle Shen Benwu. The Shen family naturally knew where to find her, and quickly replied and made an appointment to meet in Shanghai.
Xu Yuanzuo first went back to Songjiang to check the work, and then rushed to Shanghai with people. He was quite bold in the city, but he was only three or five people behind him, and once he left the city, he had to take twenty or thirty people with him. There were also five fast horses to scout the forwards so as not to be ambushed.
He was worried about being ridiculed for being cowardly, but everyone understood it very well. Luo Zhenquan said bluntly: "Back then, I liked to tie up those big families who were light and simple, and I could teach them: this world is not all gentle and elegant." There is also blood and blood. ”
Xu Yuanzuo does not plan to be taught to be a man by robbers, so naturally he will not save manpower. At the beginning, he went all the way to ask Daddy Luo to recruit people over, wasn't it just to ensure his own safety and create danger to others?
This time it was Luo Zhenquan who went to Shanghai with Xu Yuanzuo. He has already blended in with the Zhejiang soldiers, divided labor with Gan Chengze, and took turns to follow Xu Yuanzuo. Since Xu Yuanzuo last explained that he would take in more family nursing homes, Gan Chengze has focused on the training of newcomers. Promote the authentic Qi family army training art with Father Luo.
Everyone went all the way to Shanghai City, and before they entered the city, they saw the people of the Shen family.
The leader had seen Xu Yuanzuo and asked him to wait a while and go to Shen Yujun by himself.
After a while, Shen Yujun came out with a team of sand soldiers and looked at the Zhejiang soldiers following behind Xu Yuanzuo, and his eyes were also shining.
"My cousin is in a hurry to find me this time, why is it the matter?"
Shen Yujun ordered someone to set up a curtain in the grass beside the road, and set up wine, vegetables, vegetables and fruits. One person and one Maza, and they began to talk about business.
Xu Yuanzuo admired this kind of work attitude very much, and said bluntly: "I heard that my uncle's family was affected by the disaster, and I came here to condole." ”
"If you have something to say, just say it." Shen Yujun said impatiently.
"That's not straightforward enough?" Xu Yuanzuo was stunned: "Do you want me to say that I am here to take advantage of the fire and rob and take a stake in the Shen family's business?" ”
Shen Yujun's hands trembled, and he put his back behind him: "Then you are here to rob by fire?" ”
"Of course not." Xu Yuanzuo flatly denied: "If I want to take advantage of the fire to rob, you can't even buy food in Nanzhi, do you believe it?" ”
Shen Yujun scoffed: "Do you have such a big capital?" ”
"Although I don't have the capital to manipulate the price of grain in Nanzhi. But I'm very familiar with the Governor of the Ten Prefectures of Nanzhi. Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "I just need to say that he will not pay the autumn grain with a whip for the time being." ”
Shen Yujun's face changed drastically.
Chongming will also be away from Zhejiang. But why didn't Shen Yujun buy grain from Zhejiang? The grain output in western Zhejiang is much higher than that of Susong and Nanjing.
Because Zhejiang is still a traditional tax law, the people pay taxes in kind, so in the tax season, grain prices do not fall but rise. However, because Hai Rui promoted a whip law on the Nanzhi side, the people paid taxes with silver, and they would inevitably sell grain at a low price in exchange for tax silver. So the price of silver went up and the price of food fell.
This is the main reason why Shen Yujun came to Nanzhi to buy grain. It is also a source of profit for many grain merchants to buy grain at low prices from Nanzhi and Jiangxi, and then transport it to the grain-paying provinces to sell it at high prices.
Of course, Xu Yuanzuo and Hai Rui are very familiar, but they can't talk about friendship, let alone persuade Hai Rui to compromise...... He was just scaring Shen Yujun.
Shen Yujun was really frightened.
For the ordinary people, Yuan Yu is also good. Whether it's a governor or not, it's too far away.
"Family, you say these hurtful things." Shen Yujun's eyes showed resentment: "Good brother, if you have anything to say directly, can my sister not help you?" ”
- It turns out that female men are also coquettish!
Xu Yuanzuo shuddered, tightened the cloak on his body, and said, "I got a Renshoutang company before. Speaking of which, Xu Yuanzuo told Shen Yujun about the company's articles of association, operation methods, profit points, shareholder powers, and the composition of the board of directors.
In today's era, there are more and more partnerships doing business, and Xu Yuanzuo's set of things is undoubtedly complicated and meticulous, and it will not surprise the listener.
Shen Yujun came out to follow his father in business at the age of ten, and it was not a day or two for him to be in charge alone, so he quickly figured out the context and understood what Xu Yuanzuo meant.
"I want to open such a company with the Shen family and make money together." Xu Yuanzuo said.
-- In this way, there is a fear of the outflow of family property.
Shen Yujun hesitated in his heart, and finally shook his head and said, "If the two of us join forces, who will listen to at that time?" ”
"Generally speaking, I have to listen to where I pay." Xu Yuanzuo said: "This is what my father taught me." If you can't be the master yourself, you'd rather not invest money. ”
This was of course taught by my father in a previous life.
Shen Yujun tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "How can you teach me to believe that you can do this business better?" If you can't do better, why should my family have a joint venture with you now? ”
Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "Last time, I gave you advice and asked you to build the study of industry and commerce, and the study of military equipment, have you built it?" ”
Shen Yujun blushed slightly: "Although you are reasonable, it is not something that can be done in a day or two." Although the school has not yet been built, more than a dozen teenagers have been arranged to learn from others. ”
Xu Yuanzuo said: "If this matter is put in my hands, it will not be so slow." After that, he reported the scale of Tanghang Economic Academy and said: "The number of students in the school has reached nearly 100, and 40 have graduated, and all of them have been accepted." This is the main force that my Renshoutang can conquer in a short period of time. It's my Xu Yuanzuo's courage and vision. You ask yourself, can you compare with me? ”
Shen Yujun was silent.
Ask yourself, I really didn't put Xu Yuanzuo's suggestion in the highest priority, procrastinated, and didn't know how to start. is not like Xu Yuanzuo, who personally reviews textbooks and formulates school rules to promote student progress.
However,
"I'm still not happy to join hands with outsiders." Shen Yujun said.
