Hua offered a sky-high price of eight million taels at one time, which has made Yang Fang's steel language, eight million taels is already his limit, if it is not for the royal guarantee, now all walks of life need a large number of raw ore, not worrying about sales, it can be described as a profitable deal, otherwise he Yang Fang would not bid so much, but even so, his financial resources are also limited, eight million is already stretched for him, and he has to borrow from friends, he gritted his teeth, and finally reported a limit number: "Eight million two thousand taels." ”

Zhao Hua, a wealthy man in Jinling, was also a little overwhelmed, and he also noticed that Yang Fang no longer had much capital, but sneered and raised his hand and said, "Eight and a half million taels."

”

Yang Fang's mouth squirmed a few times, like a defeated rooster defeated, and he said to Zhu Jun with a pale face: "Your Majesty, the villain's financial resources are limited, so let Zhao Yuanwai give up this mine." ”

Zhu Jun nodded, Zhao Hua was proud, although the initial investment of 8.5 million taels of silver to contract a mine was too large, but it would almost be able to return to the capital in fifteen years, and the next fifteen years would be to sit back and enjoy the success, such a transaction was risky, but the profits were also extremely high.

Yan Kou, the representative of the Machinery Chamber of Commerce, who had been standing on the sidelines and watching coldly, suddenly spoke, his tone was careless, but he seemed extremely determined: "The Jinling Machinery Chamber of Commerce bid 10 million taels of silver. ”

Yan Kou's voice was not loud, but it was extremely shocking, not only Zhao Hua's face suddenly turned from red to green, but even Zhu Jun couldn't help but glance at this inconspicuous Yan Kou, he originally thought that this Yan Kou was purely here to join in the fun, and when he saw others offering such a high price, he had already flinched timidly, but he really couldn't imagine that at this time, he would kill like Cheng biting gold.

Yan Kou looked at Zhao Hua with a sneer, and said contemptuously: "Zhao Yuanwai, your family property is no more than 10 million taels at most, and you still have to sell your house and land, if it is higher, I am afraid that you will have to borrow it everywhere, life is short, why does Zhao Yuanwai have to fight so hard?" Your family's silver is enough for you to eat for a lifetime, what do you want so much for? ”

Not to be outdone, Zhao Hua said: "If you borrow and borrow, you will borrow and contract the mine, can't you get money from outside?" I will give you a thousand and ten thousand taels of silver. ”

Yan Kou reported the number again: "Eleven million taels." ”

Zhao Huadi's psychological defense finally collapsed. Even if he sells all his possessions. Borrowing from all friends and family can also reach this number. After the mine is contracted, workers must be recruited. To purchase mining equipment. A smelting ground will also be built. If these funds are not available. It's not a play field. The silver is thrown into the water. Not even a sound.

Just when Zhao Hua was ready to retreat. While retreating in defeat, Yang Fang's heart moved. He is a steel magnate. Thirty percent of the entire Ming metro ore smelting is his production place. This time, Jiangnan is developed. And he immediately came from Haidu. Naturally, it is to seize the steel market in the south of the Yangtze River. Since the Jiangnan Development Zone was built and not long ago. Yang Fang relied on his own financial resources and factory forging technology. Immediately gained a firm foothold in Jiangnan. But now Yang Fang smelled a hint of danger. The danger naturally comes from the representative of the Machinery Chamber of Commerce in front of him. It's been coming. Jiangnan Machinery Factory is from Yang Fang to buy steel and cooked copper. And this time. This group of machine factories joined forces to buy the raw ore. What does this mean? Yang Fang is not a fool. Machinery factories are the main buyers of metal raw materials. Once they acquired the mine. It is equivalent to controlling the pricing power of steel land. If these machine factories are combined to set up a smelter. Although the manufacturing process is not comparable to his Yang Fangdi Iron and Steel Plant. But Yang Fangdi's raw materials were transported from hundreds of thousands of miles away. And they take it. In terms of shipping costs, it is very cheap. Then crowd out competitors at low prices. Not in three years. Yang Fang had to be squeezed out of the Jiangnan market. Go back to your hometown in Haidu.

For Yang Fang. Now it's not a matter of simply buying mines. Once given to these united mechanics to obtain the mines. Businesses elsewhere will shrink by a third. That's it. Most importantly, it is. Yang's Iron and Steel can no longer enter the fertile land, and one step south is deadly. Although the Haidudi market is vast. But the potential has been developed to the limit. The giants have already divided their spheres of influence. And Jiangnan is a virgin land. He Yang Fang couldn't seize the opportunity. The loss is the whole business, not the silver.

Therefore. For Yang Fang. It is better to let Zhao Hua, the rich man of Jinling, get the mine. Nor should the mechanics be allowed to dye their hands. Yang Fang had already made up his mind in his heart. Pulled the sleeve of Zhao Hua, who was about to withdraw. In his ear, he said: "Zhao Yuanwai only cares about bidding." If not enough. Yang can borrow you. Let's eat the mine together. It's just that in the future, these raw ores will have to be sold to Yang at a low price. How is it? ”

Zhao Hua glanced at Yang Fang. I thought about how much profit was left. I saw Yan Kou looking like he was bound to win again. Xiang Yang Fang nodded. The two businessmen who originally bid for each other are now standing together because of their interests.

"Zhao contributed 11.1 million taels

With Yang Fang's financial support, he seemed to be a lot more determined, and he started again; Whoever charters this mine, within a radius of several hundred miles, can form a monopoly on the entire steel industry, and the value of this is no longer something that can be estimated by a copper and iron vein.

Yan Kou obviously didn't expect things to change, before coming, he had inquired about the family background of the two people and obtained detailed information, so he was especially sure when bidding, but he never imagined that the two people would unite together, this change made his expression change, gritted his teeth and said: "Twelve million." ”

"Twelve million one hundred thousand."

"Thirteen million."

"Thirteen million one hundred thousand."

Things got to this point, both sides were red-eyed, Yan Kou gradually became nervous, and even his voice began to become hoarse: "Fifteen million." ”

"Fifteen million, Zhao Yuanwai, are you still with you?" Yan Kou repeated again, the Jinling Machinery Chamber of Commerce has more than 70 businessmen, invests in different machinery products, owns more than 100 factories, and although fifteen million taels of silver is a huge amount, it is not impossible to raise it.

Zhao Hua finally retreated, the conservative profit of this mine was also fifteen million, and Yan Kou actually offered a sky-high price of fifteen million, which was simply crazy.

After being silent for a moment, Zhu Jun saw that no one was bidding again, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, a mine sells for fifteen million taels of silver, that is, the annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only 70 million taels a year, but Jiangnan has just recovered, so he has come up with a three-year tax exemption, even if the Jiangnan tax is levied, it will be at most two or three hundred million silver tax silver, what is the identity of this Yan Kou? Is it really just a representation of the Mechanical Chamber of Commerce?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When he returned to Nanjing City, Zhu Jun deliberately left Yan Kou behind, in the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Jun stared at this inconspicuous businessman, Yan Kou made a big salute in fear, Zhu Jun couldn't help but speak: "Yan Aiqing, you don't have to hide it when you get here, who are you bidding for?" ”

Zhu Jun still has a certain degree of vigilance for a businessman who can invest one-fifth of the imperial court's tax revenue to buy a mine with a single move, he originally thought that only he was the biggest businessman behind the Ming Dynasty, and almost all the big factories in all walks of life had their own shares, but he definitely couldn't take out fifteen million taels of silver in his inner treasury, unless he sold all the shares to barely make up, and more importantly, this person bought a mine for fifteen million taels of silver for thirty years to produce fifteen million silver, It's not like losing money to earn money, but what is this person's intentions?

Yan Kou was stunned for a moment, then understood what the emperor meant, and saluted again: "Your Majesty, the villain does represent the Machinery Chamber of Commerce, and there is no trace of concealment. ”

Zhu Jun's voice became stern, he laughed most of the time, and he usually saw people with a kind face, but it didn't mean that he wasn't a ruthless person, the superior person could mingle with the masses, it didn't mean that someone could treat him as a fool.

Yan Kou obviously also felt the tense atmosphere, and hurriedly said: "It is indeed the Machinery Chamber of Commerce, and a total of seventy businessmen of all sizes from the Machinery Chamber of Commerce unanimously borrowed money in order to take this mine." ”

"Go on."

"There are three machinery chambers of commerce in the south of the Yangtze River, one is Zhejiang Machinery Firm, one is Suzhou Firm, and the other is the Jinling Firm represented by the villain.

This time, the yamen posted a contract for raw ore, and Yan discussed with his peers in the chamber of commerce, hoping to take this raw ore at all costs, even if it was a loss.

Even if the profit of the raw ore in 30 years is fifteen million taels, the Jinling Commercial Bank can not earn a penny of silver, but the Jinling Machinery Commercial Bank controls the raw materials near Jinling, as long as we invest a part of the silver in steelmaking and copper smelting, then more than seventy percent of the ten achievements of the steel materials in the entire Jiangnan are controlled by our Jinling Commercial Bank, and our steel and cooked copper can be used to make machinery, and the price is much cheaper. And Suzhou, Zhejiang and other places in the development zone of the machinery factory is different, they can only buy thousands of miles away from the steel at a high price, in this way, the same production of a machinery, Jinling Machinery Factory only needs the cost of five dollars of silver, and the cost of other places needs six dollars of silver, our goods can be sold for seven dollars of silver, and if the goods produced by other chambers of commerce are also sold for seven dollars, then it must be discounted, at least eight dollars of silver can be repaid. Your Majesty, you think, the same goods, the one produced in Jinling sells for seven yuan, but the price of Suzhou and Hangzhou production is eight yuan, if it is you, which one will you buy?
