The Jinling Xu family, as well as the Southern Chamber of Commerce organized by it, are mainly engaged in silk fabrics and grain, especially in the grain area, because of the care of Xu Wen, the head of the household department, the supervision of the Xu family by local governments is much smaller.

In the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, which is dominated by Han Africa, silk fabrics and grain are also important business areas, which are highly overlapping with the business areas of the Southern Chamber of Commerce, which naturally forms a competitive relationship.

At present, it is the season for new grain to be marketed, and after discussing with the members of the Elder Hall of the Chamber of Commerce, Han Fei believes that the Southern Chamber of Commerce is very likely to do tricks on grain.

Among the members of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, there are many merchants who deal in grain, and there are also processors who use grain as raw materials, such as brewing, making noodles, scones, etc., and they are highly dependent on grain. If the Jinling Xu family takes advantage of the government's connections to control the supply of grain, it will be a heavy blow to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and it will even cause many merchants to take refuge in the Southern Chamber of Commerce.

"President, what instructions do you have on this matter?" On behalf of the elders, Xue Zhen asked Han Fei questions.

Han Fei pondered for a while and said: "The main grain producing area in this province is in the Songjiang area of Suzhou, and the Xu family there also has the advantage of connections, so it is difficult for us to take advantage. As for other provinces, Huguang is a traditional grain producing area, and the grain output of Jiangxi and Anhui cannot be ignored. Since the Xu family wants to attack us, these places will definitely have a layout. ”

After a pause, Han Feiyou continued: "Fortunately, we got the news in advance, and the Xu family doesn't know about this yet. Therefore, I suggest acting from two lines: on the bright side, we will send people to the area of Songjiang Mansion in Suzhou to purchase grain in a high-profile manner, which can not only attract the attention of the Xu family, but also test the real motive of the Xu family; As for the dark side, we sent people to Huguang, Jiangxi, and Anhui to secretly purchase grain and ensure the food needs of the members of the chamber of commerce. ”

"The president's strategy is very good, Wei agrees, Wei has some friendship in the Huguang area, and is willing to run!"

Since Wei Xuan followed Han Fei, his worth has doubled, and he has become one of Han Fei's hardcore allies. He took the lead in agreeing with Han Fei's proposal.

Xue Zhen then also said: "Xue also agrees with the president's strategy, the Xue family and the Xu family are rivals, so they can go to the area of Songjiang Mansion in Suzhou and sing against the Xu family!" ”

Xue Zhen and Wei Xuan have a pivotal position in the Chamber of Commerce, and the two have expressed their positions one after another, and other elders have also echoed them.

The bright side is borne by the Xue family, and the dark side is dominated by the Wei family. Han Fei considered that this time it was the Southern Chamber of Commerce that took the initiative to provoke, and it could not be passively responded, but also had to fight back strongly against the weakness of the other party.

"Colleagues, this time it was the other party who took the initiative to provoke us, and we must teach the other party a lesson, Han suggested making a fuss about the medicinal materials, making every effort to purchase and control the medicinal materials on the market, and cutting off the supply of medicinal materials in the pharmacy of the Southern Chamber of Commerce. Although the medicinal herb merchant is not the focus of the Southern Chamber of Commerce, this can disrupt the other party's deployment and distract them. ”

As soon as Han Fei's suggestion was thrown, it was immediately unanimously approved by the Elder Hall. Nowadays, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, because of the finished drugs launched by Han Fei and the existence of the Han Pharmaceutical Workshop, has a decisive position in the Jiangnan medicinal materials market, and it can easily crush its opponents.

When Han Fei returned to Hanfu, the explosion site caused by the test had been cleaned up, but the family members who witnessed the explosion still had lingering palpitations. He didn't bother to appease them, and it might be good for them to maintain a sense of reverence for electricity, so as not to cause an even greater tragedy in the future because of their carelessness.

However, when he returned to the backyard, he was surprised by the performance of several women.

In Xiao Yushuang's room, Wang Ruolan and the two sisters of the Xue family, as well as the girl Yin Xin in the room, were all present. However, they were holding Xiao Yushuang, far away from the electric fan, with a look of horror on their faces, staring at the electric fan, as if they were looking at a terrifying thing.

"What's wrong with you, so far away, aren't you afraid of the heat?" Han Fei sat on the chair next to the electric fan and said with a smile.

Han Fei's arrival seemed to give the women courage, and they moved to the vicinity of the electric fan, but the distance was much farther than usual.

"Non-brother, the concubine heard an explosion in front of her in the afternoon, and asked Yin Xin to inquire, only to know that you got it, and the concubine went to the scene to see it, it was really scary. This electricity is so terrible, can it still be used? Wang Ruolan said first.

Xue Baoqin also said: "Big brother, something as good as an electric fan will really explode?" Will it still work in the future? ”

Han Fei picked up a cup of herbal tea on the coffee table next to him, took a sip, and said with a smile: "You guys, you are really smart and confused for a while, if it is a very dangerous thing, will I take it out for you to use?" Of course, if you seek death by yourself and have to touch it, there is a danger that may occur. ”

A few women thought about it, if it was so easy to explode, it would be impossible for Han Fei to put it at home, so the nervousness eased.

Wang Ruolan was still a little worried and said, "What happened to the explosion in the afternoon?" ”

Han Fei glanced outside, saw that there were no idle people nearby, beckoned a few women to come closer, lowered his voice, and said, "That explosion was deliberately caused by me, and it is only possible under extreme circumstances." You just know, don't spread the word. ”

Xue Baoqin complained: "Big brother, why do you want to do such a scary thing? ”

"Electricity is inherently dangerous, and through this test, I gave some warnings to the people in the house, mainly because of the guest." Han Fei glanced at a few women and asked, "Do you know who is coming?" He was the commander of the Jinyi Mansion in Jinling, Du Qianhu. ”

This is a secret news, Han Fei said it calmly, and he completely regarded them as his own. Wang Ruolan, Xue Baoqin, and Yin Xin are Han Fei's women, or they think they are his women, and it is also a matter of course. Xue Baochai saw that Han Fei did not shy away from himself, and his heart was excited.

"Big brother, why did the people from Jinyi Mansion come to us?"

"Du Qianhu wants us to give this set of equipment to the emperor first, it's not that I don't want to, but this thing just came out, it does have a certain danger, in case it hurts the nobles in the palace, it will cause trouble for us. Moreover, once there are more people who know about this equipment, which of those dignitaries and dignitaries doesn't want it? Our current manufacturing capacity is impossible to handle, and it is not good to offend anyone. ”

"That's right!"

So I simply cut off their thoughts, put it off for a year or two, and wait until it has improved a lot. If your relatives and friends ask, they will also refuse them for this reason, and this year this set of equipment will not be passed on. ”

More than ten days have passed, and Xue Zhen sent news from Suzhou that the Xue family's purchase of grain in the area of Songjiang Mansion in Suzhou was really suppressed by the Xu family. The Xu family used the relationship between the government and the government to block the transaction between the grain merchants and the Xue family, which made it difficult for the Xue family to purchase.

This situation fully illustrates the intention of the Xu family, which is to crack down on the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in the grain market.
