Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Ten days later, Lu Xiangsheng's funeral was completed.

Liu Suifeng took his leave first and went to Hangzhou to meet Liu Quan. These days, Liu Quan didn't come to Yixing to meet Zhai Zhe, which made him smell an unusual atmosphere.

Zhai Zhe has been swallowing seventy percent of the profits of the Shang Alliance, and that is because he controls the lifeblood of the Shang Alliance. After Zong Mao returned to Xuanda this time, he gradually transferred the shops of the business alliance in Xuanfu and Datong, and contracted the operation.

Is Shangmeng Zhai Zhe's, or Liu Quan's? In different periods, different people have different answers in their hearts, and after Zhai Zhe lost power, at least the answers in the hearts of Zong Mao and Liu Quan were different.

Zong Mao didn't need to ask Liu Quan for instructions to do these things, because in his heart, these businesses belonged to Zhai Zhe, and he was ordered by Zhai Zhe to manage his money. When the interests of the business alliance cannot be guaranteed, shrinking the operation is the best strategy.

Liu Quan is struggling, struggling with how to deal with the relationship with Zhai Zhe. A proprietor who can't bring him wealth, a proprietor who only draws flesh and blood from the Shang Alliance, a proprietor who has the potential to bring monstrous disasters to the Shang Alliance, is it still necessary for him to stand with him?

The businessman is very practical, Liu Quan is thinking about advanced Beijing, or the seer Zhai Zhe. In the past two years, the business alliance has developed rapidly in Jiangnan, and has opened branches in Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Songjiang, establishing contacts with tea merchants in Zhejiang and Fujian. But Lu Xiangsheng died, so he immediately restrained his expansion, because the foundation of the Shang Alliance was in Xuanda.

"Is there still a chance to join the Eight Families?" This was Liu Quansheng's first thought, he and Fan Yongdou were the same kind of people. But what made him jealous was the in-law relationship between Fan Yongdou and Zhai Zhe, and only when he met Fan Yongdou in person did he dare to make a decision.

The summer weather in Jiangnan was not much cooler than Xuanda, and Liu Quan wore a satin shirt before sending Ning Sheng and Wang Yi away, feeling very irritable.

These two people are like maggots on tarsal bones, and since they arrived in Hangzhou last winter, they have been staring at the accounts of the business alliance. Fortunately, the time is still short, and he began to find all kinds of excuses to shirk after hearing the news of Lu Xiangsheng's death in March, unwilling to expose the whole truth. The people he brought down to Jiangnan were all cronies of the Liu family, Ning Sheng was still a little tender compared to him, only that Wang Yi was a little troublesome, and he held the guards of the Shang League. But those are not important, and the guards do not play a big role in the stable Jiangnan.

"The owner, a guest named Liu Suifeng asks to see!" Liu Rui came to tell him that he had followed Liu Quan for many years, but he didn't know the character of Liu Suifeng.

"It's coming with the wind, please come in!" Liu Quanru has won a treasure.

"Brother Suifeng!" Liu Quan came out of the study door to greet him. Seeing that Liu Suifeng looks black and thin, and his spirit is not bad, it seems that he has suffered a lot in the army in the past six months.

"The owner!"

When the two family brothers met, they were not so polite. Entering the house, Liu Rui secretly looked at Liu Suifeng when he was serving tea, and he didn't know who he was.

"The owner has arrived in Jiangnan, why don't you go and see him?" As soon as Liu Suifeng opened his mouth, he came to question, and the owner in his mouth certainly referred to Zhai Zhe.

Liu Quan was in a mouthful, unable to find a suitable reason.

"Are you trying to betray the owner?" Liu Suifeng's tone was stern, which was not the same as when he was a bookkeeper in Liu Quan's firm.

Liu Quan was not angry, and his tone was sincere and pleading: "You are my brother, and I recommended you to the owner's side, you and I can't write two willow characters in one stroke, you sue me, what should I do now?" ”

Liu Suifeng turned his face, suddenly smiled, and said, "You ask me, then I also want to ask you, how big is your heart?" ”

Liu Quan took a breath and said, "Rich Jiajindi!" ”

"Too small, too small!" Liu Suifeng shook his head, "There is an opportunity in front of you right now, in less than ten years, don't say that Fujia Jindi, even Fujia Jiangnan can't escape from your palm." ”

"Brother Suifeng laughed!" Liu Quan was a little unhappy.

"My ancestors have never been businessmen, and in my eyes, businessmen have no future, even if they are like Fan Yongdou!" Liu Suifeng disdainfully, "Do you want to join the Eight Families of the East Exit?" ”

He broke through Liu Quan's mind with one word, making Liu Quan's face white for a while.

"The eight families in Dongkou relied on the Manchu Qing to survive, and the Shang League has always relied on the Mongols. Fan Yongdou takes a fancy to your tea, and may give you a chance, but that depends on whether Zhai Dongjia will speak. You can't get the fur of the eight families, the tea can't be transferred, and in just one year, the business alliance will no longer exist. Liu Suifeng's words had a sense of intimidation, but this was exactly Liu Quan's heart disease.

"Although Gong Lu is gone, do you know that the Zhai Dong family performed as a disciple in front of the Lu Gong Ling Hall a few days ago? Do you know that Zhai Dongjia got acquainted with his predecessor Zhou Ge Lao, and do you know that Zhai Dongjia and Qian Ge Lao are drinking tea opposite? Do you know that Zhai Dongjia and Mr. Zhang Pu mourn Lu Gong together? Liu Suifeng didn't give Liu Quan room to think at all, and spoke like a cannon.

These three people are the characters who really stomp on Jiangnan and shake three times. Qian Qianyi is the leader of the Donglin Party, Zhou Yanru is the former assistant, Zhang Pu is the leader of the Fushe, and Zhai Zhe took the opportunity of the funeral to get acquainted with these people, and there is only one side of the relationship. Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and Lu Xiangsheng are all out of the Donglin Party, Zhou Yanru is Lu Xiangsheng's cousin, although all three are in the opposition, but they have a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty and politics, and their protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world.

This is the doorway of officialdom, and if you want someone, you must first find a way, and the Lu family is the tiger skin that Zhai Zhe is pulling up now!

These literati don't look down on Zhai Zhe, the dismissed deputy general, but with this relationship, as long as there is more money, there is still a way to do something with them. In Daming, you can buy officials if you have money, but it depends on who spends the money and who spends it on. An ordinary businessman, such as Liu Quan, is afraid that no matter how much money he spends, he will not be able to buy a decent official. But Zhai Zhe is a dismissed adjutant general, and with the help of Lu Xiangsheng's prestige, as long as Yang Sichang steps down, there is still a chance to seek a decent official position.

"I'm afraid that the Shang Alliance can't afford to supply the soldiers and horses of the Zhai Dong family?" Liu Quan didn't hide it either.

"If I were you, even if I went bankrupt, I would follow Zhai Dong's family!" Liu Suifeng looked at his clan brother with hot eyes, "You will only have such an opportunity once in your life, and others can't ask for it." ”

Liu Quan's face changed with his thoughts, he was not a person who didn't dare to gamble, but he wouldn't gamble blindly.

"As for the money, as long as you survive these years, you will be rewarded." Liu is good at dancing with long sleeves and a river, Zhai Zhe's predicament is an opportunity for him to show his talents. This is Yoo Quan's chance, and it's his chance. He became a lobbyist, and his first target was his own brother.

"Cutting off Mongolia's border trade, where can the business still make money?" Liu Quan is not so easy to fool. The trade in the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be exploited by officials from all over the world, and it is not easy to make money.

"There is a grassland in the north, and the sea in the south!"

"You?" Liu was dumbfounded.

"Shuangyu Port has been destroyed for so many years, and I heard that the Zheng clan in Fujian is rich in sea trade, and the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang can only watch with their eyes."

"That's a capital offense!" Liu Quan couldn't help but stand up.

"Isn't it a capital offense to clear the East Exit?" Liu Suifeng sneered, "I know that this is a taboo in Zhejiang officialdom, and I also know that the Zheng family has always controlled the sea route, but the matter is man-made." ”

It's man-made, or you can't do it! He said that he was wild, and he scribbled cakes, and as long as Liu Quan's heart was moved, this lobbyist succeeded.

is like the cake that Zhai Zhe painted for Ezhe on the grassland, time has passed, who still takes those words seriously.
