Now the imperial court has already included Xiao Bolu in the bag, for the merchants to the road to the West Heaven is no longer difficult and dangerous, Xuanzang to make a round trip takes nineteen years, the merchants go this spring, next autumn can return to Chang'an, some legs and feet are diligent, livestock sturdy people even set a record of nine months to play a round trip, although the road is more difficult, but because of its huge economic returns, so that many people devote themselves to the business trip to Tianzhu.

The merchants of the Western Regions are accompanied by a certain degree of casualty rate, not everyone is lucky, and not everyone is a Tang monk, the long journey is a severe test of people's spiritual will, as for the meager goods they bring back, they can be ignored.

It was these busy merchants like ant colonies and merchant ships from the south that provided rare and precious spices to the people of the Tang Dynasty; Even though they have become wealthy, they still have a strong will to go to the Western Regions to buy spices and bring them back to earn a huge profit margin.

But suddenly one day, a man jumped out and stood in front of them, and announced in a loud voice: "From now on, you don't have to travel all the way to the Western Regions, I have contracted all the spices of India, and I will wholesale them from me in the future." Can those who say this imagine the contempt and ridicule in their hearts? Can you imagine their pain and loss on this trade route? Isn't it wishful thinking that you don't have to pay taxes at all, and you alone want to monopolize the trade route from the South Trade Route to India?

Although their faces were cold and they didn't say anything, the cool breath from their nostrils and the contempt in their eyes could not be concealed. These people were able to sit here completely to see the face of the Zhang family in Dunhuang and the Suo family in Guazhou. The Beiting Jiedu envoy and Longyou interviewed them without knowing each other, and Li Siye was not prepared to let his name enter this kind of business activity. He set himself as Dai Wang's backer, the big boss behind the scenes, and he would not jump out against the heroes until the last moment.

Dai Wang's voice fell, only Zhang Kuo and Suo Tong nodded and smiled, and everyone else had stiff faces, but it was inconvenient to attack. Everyone is a side branch of a famous family, tolerance and self-cultivation are on the same level, temporarily hold back and don't fight, don't make trouble, don't lift the table, and see what other farts you can release next.

Dai Liulang had even more surprising words next, his words and their understanding were not on the same channel at all, so they were even more angry.

"Later, I will prepare a contract for you, I will talk about the content of the contract in advance, if you want to become a subordinate dealer of our firm, you must comply with three points. The first point is that as a distributor, spices can only be sold in your area, and must not seize other people's markets. For example, Zhang Kuo, the spices you import from me can only be sold in Shazhou, Yizhou, and Xizhou, and the goods imported by Suotong can only be sold in Guazhou and Suzhou. ”

A few people were even more angry when they heard it, who do you think you are? You still dare to put yourself above us to make rules, why are you, how old are you?

"Second, all dealers must sell within the price range specified in the contract, and must not hoard and fight price wars."

Several people endured unhappy expressions, waiting for Dai Wang to throw out any more exaggerated remarks. Even Zhang Kuo was a little anxious now, and kept looking at Li Siye. But Li Siye did not feel abrupt at all, this is a necessary clause in the spirit of the contract.

"Finally, the contract is signed every year, the purchase price is determined by us, and the annual quota of goods is negotiated and finalized by us, if you are not satisfied, you can not sign the contract."

"Of course not!" Jia Luxiu, a big businessman in Lanzhou, took the case, pointed at Dai Wang and asked with an angry smile: "Where did this Dai Lang come from, he didn't dare to see people with his true face, he didn't dare to say it, his brain was not good, and he still thought very highly of himself, can you only go to Tianzhu, and the spices there belong to your family?" Is you the only one who can do the source business of spices? Even if you don't put these three rules on the table, we won't buy pepper and spices from you! ”

Gao Gai, a wealthy merchant in Liangzhou, laughed loudly, expressing his greatest contempt for Dai Wang, and Xue Yong in Shu only echoed it twice, and it seemed that the opposition was not strong.

Li Siye frowned coldly, his eyes looked around, and the merchants present did not dare to make eye contact with him, as if he had a murderous aura in his pupils that was about to be chopped off.

This person does look terrible, but fortunately he is not the person concerned, and he should be the bodyguard invited by Dai Wang. On the occasion of the Zhang family, no one dared to do it here.

He turned his head to look at Dai Wang again, and said nothing.

Dai Wang stood up from the desk, stared at the people present, and let out a laugh like a mouse grinding his teeth: "You are quite right earlier, India is indeed not the only one I can go to, and the spices there are not my family's, but the source business of pepper and spices can only be done by our Western Regions Commercial Bank." I can give you a cruel word, which can be regarded as a prophecy, from today onwards, every grain of pepper and every piece of sandalwood that flows out of India must pass through our Western Regions trading house, and any of you will go in vain. ”

The momentum of these words poured into everyone's ears like a thunderbolt, like the tone and courage that a big man should have, Li Siye felt quite relieved in his heart, he was worthy of being able to plan the wolf guard to bomb Chang'an, and it was indeed a bit condescending to deal with such a few copper-smelling businessmen.

Lanzhou Lu Xiu is also a powerful and powerful person, how can he be frightened because of one or two domineering words. Judging from Dai Wang's current momentum, it should be true that he dominates the trade routes of the Western Regions, but this kind of deterrence is effective for ordinary people, and it seems that Lu Xiu, who wants to stop him from shaking Lanzhou, seems to be almost hot.

Gao Gai seems to think the same way, maybe their lives are full of business battles, and the relationship between the merchants is well explained by the peers, and the cooperation in their eyes is who eats meat and who drinks soup, naked unevenness and hostility. So they can't be blamed for being too hostile, because they never believed that the businessmen would even pull their peers to make money together, and the other party must be holding back something bad to catch them all.

The two formed an alliance and walked out of the banquet, and angrily threw down two cruel words: "What kind of trading house you can do, we can also do it, from tomorrow we will take the caravan to India, and I will rob you of all the pepper and goods in India!" Let's see who can choke the goods at the source! ”

Li Siye's eyes widened, I damn it, it even inspired a struggle. I don't know if these two have inspired a strong sense of self-esteem, or if Dai Hei's actions are too villainous. It looks like something is a problem, but it's still too serious for them.

Xue Yong, a wealthy merchant in Shuzhong, finally stood on Dai Wang's side after careful consideration, perhaps the reason why he gave up was that Shuzhong was too far away from the Western Regions to fight for the source of the goods.

Zhang Kuo always looked from the sidelines, and couldn't bear to lose the opportunity for the two peers. After the two left, he hurriedly ordered his servants to chase after him in a whisper, tell Lu Xiu and Gao Gai part of the truth, and tell them that Dai Wang had a background in the official mansion.

But this remark had no effect, and only aroused the other party's higher fighting spirit: "Say it as if someone else has no official background?" See who has the last laugh. ”

Those who stay and are willing to sign a contract do not necessarily support this way of doing business, they only act because of personal relationships.
