Chapter 1051 Serious Business (7)
After sending off the guest, Qi Ke immediately went back to write a letter to Bai Qing, told him the news brought by the old party, and asked if there was room for discussing countermeasures, she had the exclusive right to operate in Liangshui Town for thirty years, and she was not willing to have outsiders with conflicts of interest to put their hands in.
The little eagle fell straight to the wall of Baiqing's small courtyard, and the soldiers saw that this eagle first tightened their skin as if they were conditioned, and took out the letter with great vigilance, and did not see the scary red letters before sending it to their young man's desk with peace of mind.
Bai Qing saw that Qi Ke's letter was to ask about the Maritime Trade Association, and he knew that it must be the news that her partners in the county communicated with her, thinking about it, there was nothing that could not be said about it, it was not a secret military situation, so he wrote back and told a big gossip with richer content for Yu Yu to take back.
When Qi Ke went to deliver supplies to Zhaolin late at night when he received the reply, he brought the letter with him, and the two discussed it.
Bai Qing said more in the letter, the tens of thousands of taels of taxes handed over by General Bai to Dong'an Mansion provoked the Maritime Guild to be extremely red, at that time there were rumors and rumors, and the ugly face of eating really made people laugh, but now the military affairs are busy, the confrontation on the county boundary and the war of words in the court of the capital can not be left behind, which greatly involves the energy of the generals, and they have no time to pay attention to the various small actions of the guild, this indulgence seems to make the merchants think that the Bai family army is afraid of them, and the remarks are becoming more and more bold.
In the final analysis, it is still driven by interests, the guilds of various industries will also be brokers, which is a duty of the guild, and the peers get together to exchange news with each other to facilitate business.
But everyone knows that Bai Jiajun did it directly with the merchant ships, and there was nothing to do with the guild at all, which made the outside world not know that General Bai and the captain of the Ocean also signed a three-year lint supply contract. It's easy
Lint is just the beginning, and there will be various other resources in the future, and the ships will come again and again without passing through the hands of the guild, so you can imagine how much less commission the guild will lose.
All dissatisfaction is because of money.
Originally, the status of Dong'an Mansion was very important, Qingshui Port is a natural harbor, very suitable for berthing large merchant ships with deep draft, and now there is a Liangshui Town turned out, and the army has made it clear that it intends to build Liangshui Town into the second place in Dong'an Mansion, and the Maritime Guild wants to take the opportunity to make trouble and force the Bai Jiajun to agree to their intervention, regardless of whether Liangshui Town can develop in the future, anyway, take a seat first.
"The Maritime Guild has been established for so many years, and the positive role of promoting trade must be there, and the idea of honor and body has changed, they are arrogant, even bad, but they are certainly not stupid, first use rumors to make a test, see the attitude of Bai Jiajun and then flexibly adjust the follow-up countermeasures." Qi Ke is clear about this basic routine, first test back and forth to explore the other party's bottom line, if you are good at bullying, you have to make inches, and if you are not bullied, you will have to talk about it.
"Do you think Bai Jiajun will let go?" Every time Qi Ke came over, the deputy housekeeper settled things outside, and the two of them sat in the villa and talked, put the letter paper on the coffee table, and handed Qi Ke a bowl of freshly cooked white fungus soup.
"Maybe, because they don't have the talent and experience in this area, if the Maritime Guild establishes a branch in Liangshui Town, the condition is to do all the relevant clerical things, the general will definitely be moved, even if he is not moved, the attitude of so many generals under him will be loosened." Qi Ke drank white fungus soup spoonful by spoonful, with the momentum of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
