Tianci Grain Store purchased a large amount of glutinous rice in various places, and the news was quickly grasped by Tan Xinren. As the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, he has three major sectors of business in his hands.

Chunyan Tower, the land of daily gold, is his capital. However, the force behind Chunyan Tower is not Zhao Wenhua, but Chen Hong, the chief eunuch in the palace. Although Huang Jin served as the secretary of ceremonies and held great power, he also nominally had a palm seal eunuch Chen Hong above him.

Chen Hong is an old man left by the first emperor, and Jiajing did not move Chen Hong completely because of his scruples about his reputation. Jiajing is not the son of Ming Wuzong, but a cousin, he did not grow up in the palace, so after becoming the emperor, he arranged the servants he brought from the palace in key positions.

However, because there was already a big courtesy discussion, Jiajing was unwilling to do too drastic on the issue of changing the shifts of the internal servants, so he made a strange design and let himself be the second-in-command, but he was in real power. And the original leader is offered as a statue of a god, giving it dignity and not real power. This Chen Hong is one of the statues.

But even if it is a god statue, it has certain rights, and as long as it doesn't do too much, the emperor will turn a blind eye. Since the Teaching Workshop Division is actually under the control of the Celebrant Supervisor, and the famous Qinglou in the capital has a close relationship with the Teaching Workshop Division, Chen Hong naturally became the backer of Chunyan Building.

The backer behind the prosperous grain bank is Pan Huang, the head of the household. said that Pan Huang was a backer, and he might have been wronged a little, because this matter was mainly the second-in-command of the household, and Zuo Shilang talked about the same. Tan Tong is a distant relative of Tan Xinren, who has served in the household department for many years and has a deep relationship. Pan Huang opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and took the money he gave, as long as it was not too excessive, he would not say anything.

Because there is a household department as a backer, usually preparing grain and grass, disaster relief and buying grain, etc., talking about Xinren's prosperous grain line is the first choice, and it is naturally easy to make money.

Tan Ji Creation, this is Tan Xinren's most profitable business now, and the backer behind it is Zhao Wenhua. Zhao Wenhua himself is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and with Yan Song's relationship, even the secretary of the Ministry of Industry has to give him three points, which can be called the largest contractor in the world.

Needless to say, the projects in the imperial city are many projects in other places, and Zhao Wenhua will also hand them over to Tan Xinren to do.

The reason why Tan Xinren is unscrupulous and fearless is because he has different backers behind these three major industries. It can be called intricate, immobile as a mountain. Therefore, although he is a little unfathomable to Xiao Feng, he treats Xiao Feng as a joke when he says that he wants to make himself bankrupt.

After Yan Shifan's thigh, Tan Xinren's arrogance reached a new height. Zhang Tianci is a fart, isn't it just supported by Xiao Feng, this time Lao Tzu is going to clean up with him.

After hearing that Zhang Tianci was buying glutinous rice, Tan Xinren laughed three times, and immediately ordered the shopkeeper of his Shengshi Grain Bank to also grab the glutinous rice, it doesn't matter whether he earns money or not, the point is not to let Zhang Tianci make money.

And Tan Xinren knew that the sorghum case brought Zhang Tianci back to life, and he concluded that the purchase of glutinous rice must have been calculated by Xiao Feng, and he would only make money, not lose!

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the shopkeeper told Tan Xinren: "The owner, I'm afraid I can't buy glutinous rice, it's all bought by Zhang Tianci!" ”

Tan Xinren's eyes widened: "How is this possible, the output of glutinous rice is not small, where did he get so much silver?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "He really doesn't have so much silver, but he is very cunning, and he sends people to all the places where glutinous rice is produced, and even the merchants and farmers have signed contracts and paid deposits." He still paid this deposit. Then he is raising money everywhere, and when the glutinous rice is concentrated, his money should be almost raised. The owner, Zhang Tianci, has become famous since the last time he bought and sold sorghum, and he can borrow money. ”

Tan Xinren sneered: "Count him early, but business is about strength, I want to crush him with financial resources!" Let those merchants and farmers break the contract and sell the glutinous rice to us! ”

The shopkeeper hesitated: "The owner, the liquidated damages are not calculated according to the deposit, let's let them breach the contract, which is almost equal to doubling the price." We have glutinous rice in and out every year, that is, fifty percent of the profit, which is directly doubled, is to lose fifty percent of the money! ”

Tan Xinren waved his hand: "The pattern is small!" That Zhang Tianci dared to use his net worth to gamble on glutinous rice, that must be Xiao Feng's idea! Think about sorghum, Zhang Tianci earned several times the profit! It's nothing to double the acquisition, but you can definitely earn it back! The point is, even if you don't make money, this money can't be earned by Zhang Tianci! ”

The next night, the shopkeeper of the Tianci grain store ran to Xiao Feng's house, sweating: "The owner, the second owner sent an urgent letter, and the glutinous rice we ordered in various places will be in default, saying that we would rather give liquidated damages than sell it." ”

Xiao Feng was drinking tea, his hand paused, put down the teacup, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Tell him, then accept the liquidated damages, take back the contract, and let him come back immediately, but don't come to see me, I'll give you a letter, give it to him, and let him do what I say." ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to ask more, so he went back and sent a letter to Zhang Tianci as instructed. Although Zhang Tianci didn't understand it very well, his trust in Xiao Feng was deep-rooted. What's more, this transaction has already made a lot of money, and I didn't do anything, I only signed a bunch of contracts, and I got more profits than selling glutinous rice every year, which is already very successful.

Tan Xinren spent a large amount of money, paid the liquidated damages to the Tianci grain store, and placed new deposits for merchants and farmers, and finally signed a new contract. Tan Xinren looked at the shopkeeper's distressed appearance and sneered: "Being a shopkeeper in the Shengshi Grain Bank is just such a little courage? I'm not afraid of my money, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, you can't lose! ”

As he was talking, the housekeeper came to report: "Master, Miss Yun is here." Tan Xinren smiled slightly: "Please come in!" ”

Miss Yun from Chunyan Tower, walked in with a curling voice, and said to Tan Xinren slightly: "Master Tan, there is urgent news for you, I am afraid that the maid will not be able to speak clearly, so I will run by myself." ”

Tan Xinren poured a cup of tea for Miss Yun: "Miss Yun has worked hard, although this Chunyan Building is my capital, many people in the building do not have the same heart as me, or the girl is attentive." ”

Miss Yun smiled slightly: "After Yun'er was originally a criminal official, she knew that she would never come out again. It was the old man who took a fancy to him and entered the Chunyan Building. Although he is still a sinner, he is better than in the church. Yun'er has today, and she has to thank Master Tan. ”

Taking a sip of tea, Miss Yun said with a straight face: "Talking about the master, Zhang Tianci came to Chunyan Tower today." Looking at him, he should have just returned from the field and didn't come home. ”

Tan Xinren's heart moved: "What did he do?" ”

Miss Yun's face was slightly red: "What can he do, find Sister Shui." Seeing his excitement, he first gave Sister Shui a big ingot, and then pulled Sister Shui into the house, and tossed it in broad daylight. I pretended to pass by a few times, heard what he said to Sister Shui, and felt that it had something to do with Master Tan, so I hurried to report it. ”

Tan Xinren's eyes flashed: "What did he say?" ”

Miss Yun recalled: "He said that he made a lot of money this time, and it all depended on Xiao Gongzi's strategy. For the first time, he knew that the grain business could make money without buying and selling grain. Sister Shui asked him how he made the money, and he said that Xiao Gongzi told him that this is called futures speculation. It doesn't matter if you have the goods or not, the important thing is to sell the contract in your hand, which is the most profitable business. ”

Tan Xinren stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
