Chapter 82: Persecution
If Guo Chunhua heard these words here, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood, he thought that many people misunderstood him, thinking that it was in collusion with pirates that caused the ship to be destroyed and killed.
But in fact, it is clear that the vast majority of people are very smart and are not fooled by the comments, but even then they acquiesce
It can only be said that the person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.
"Okay, okay, what's the point of saying that now? What is it that the Li family called us over today? Is there something good about it? ”
"I don't know, but the Li family said that there is something good to give us, and since it is a good thing, I think we should also give it a try."
As they spoke, the merchants talked to each other
Soon there was a sound of kicking him at the door, pushing open the door, and the head of the Li family slowly walked in
As he entered, the people below hurriedly stood up with respectful expressions on their faces.
In Haishang City, the first thing that can't be provoked is naturally the government, and the second is the three masters
The parents of the three family heads, to a certain extent, their strength and prestige are higher than those of the government.
It is more useful than the government.
The head of the Li family laughed, stretched out his hand to appease the many businessmen, looked around, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly
These businessmen used to see themselves, although they were more respectful, but they all revealed that they refused
After all, they belong to the Wu family's gang, not their own Li family
But now it's different, everyone sees themselves with fear on their faces, and they can only say that this feeling is really refreshing, and after a while, there is a quiet precipitation
Finally, a merchant couldn't help but whisper
"Family Master Li, I don't know what you did when you called us over, I think you also know, now that we are all down, I'm afraid there is nothing to help you, the family master."
"Hahaha"
The head of the Li family said with a smile
"Don't say this, although we have had some small contradictions and frictions before, but those are all small things, and the so-called situation is completely understandable to me."
The head of the Li family talked eloquently
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the family is in the middle, the relationship is still there, so I will talk to you this time. Super over is to hope that everyone can cooperate with my Li family, my Li family will continue to carry out sea shipping in the future, and will give you some shares when the time comes, of course, you also need to give me some help when I need it, how about it, I think this is a mutually beneficial thing for everyone"
The people below suddenly showed a look of surprise in their literary expressions, and hurriedly said
"My lord, what you said is true, you are really willing to take us"
"Yes, my lord, if you are willing to help us, then my family will be able to turn over soon."
"That's right, as long as you make a fortune on a voyage, you can turn over, are you really willing to help us, my lord?"
"Calm down, calm down"
The head of the Li family laughed and said, "Of course,"
"But there is no such thing as a free lunch, I can be willing to help you, but you also need to help me a little"
"I don't know what kind of request the head of the family has."
The businessman is not too surprised by a glance, and everyone understands the truth that there is no free lunch in the world
"It's very simple, I hope to be able to set up a chamber of commerce, I hope you will also join my chamber of commerce, and at that time, the whole chamber of commerce will purchase the things you want, and you know that some goods will be bought in a unified manner. Isn't it a good thing for everyone that the price can be kept lower? ”
"After all, I don't know the channels of some goods, but you still have them, as long as you are willing to take them out and put them into the Chamber of Commerce, this is a mutually beneficial thing, I think there should be no problem"
As soon as the words fell, the merchants below were stunned, and their faces became quite complicated
This sounds very good, but in fact, the purpose of the head of the Li family is to take away their relationship chain. Take away their industrial chain, take away their channels.
Many businessmen were slightly stunned, although they didn't know the channel, they reflexively knew that the Li family master in front of them was fighting for their foundation
The words are good, and the things are put in the chamber of commerce, and everyone buys them uniformly, and the price is cheap
But the problem is that once it is placed in the Chamber of Commerce, it is equivalent to becoming a shop.
Who is the president of the Chamber of Commerce?
It's the head of the Li family!
In other words, all the lifelines will be obtained by the head of the Li family, and at that time, they will be kicked away, and they will not even have a place to cry.
At the same time, it is even more difficult to re-establish the channel
Don't think that the other party of the channel you hold in your hands will be able to support yourself if you are an old friend, as long as you have enough interests, even your parents can sell it, let alone an object of buying and selling. It's ridiculous.
The head of the Li family talked eloquently, looking at the silent people below, and the corners of his mouth were raised
In the past, he would not have made such a suggestion, after all, this suggestion knew at a glance that it contained evil intentions.
But now he doesn't care, these businessmen are at the end of their rope, if he doesn't help them, it is estimated that they will really go bankrupt.
By that time, the home will be gone, and there will be no use in guarding these channels in your hands
Therefore, the head of the Li family didn't care at all, and even had one. The feeling of being in power is in your own hands.
The head of the Li family is very confident, to put it bluntly, these small merchants in front of him, they have no right to bargain with themselves and no qualifications to bargain.
Since the last time their cargo was completely destroyed, they have not been qualified to do so."
Many merchants were talking to each other, and one of them looked up
"The head of the Li family. , We absolutely agree that you want to form a chamber of commerce, after all, the most important thing is to make money, but you want our shopping channels, I'm afraid this is a bit too much, some inappropriate."
As soon as the merchant finished speaking, the other merchants shouted in the same way
"No, my lord, if you really want to take us to make a fortune and want to help us, we will naturally raise our hands and feet to agree, and we are willing to take the head of the Li family, but if you want our channel, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate."
"Yes, if we hand over these channels to you, and you sell us and kick us out when the time comes, what will we do then?"
"My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
The businessmen below, you have a word for me
Apparently they're not stupid either. Their words fell into the ears of the head of the Li family in front of them, but they were so ridiculous, he raised his head and said coldly
"You can be regarded as old businessmen, and there is no free lunch in the world, I think you should know this very well. If you want me to help you and get you through this, no problem, then you have to come up with something, otherwise why should I help you? ”
"Don't forget that in Haishang City, there are not many others, that is, there are many people who want to be promoted and make a fortune. Believe it or not, I just need to send out a word, the outside wants to follow me, there are so many people in the Li family who have made a fortune, how long do you think you can last at that time, I am willing to let you join the Chamber of Commerce, it is to give you, don't be ignorant of the opportunity"
It's a very ugly word, but it's true
Moment. The many businessmen present were stunned for a moment, their faces were pale, and they looked at the Li family master in front of them as if they had seen some kind of wild beast
They know they don't have the right to resist.
There is no way, who made their organization Wu family have a big incident, and now the family is in the middle of the road and even it is difficult to protect themselves.
"That's what the head of the Li family said, but you seem to have forgotten one thing, outside the entire Haishang City, in addition to your Li family, there is also the Wang family, and we can also go and cooperate with the Wang family."
suddenly
A businessman spoke
Obviously, he is also quite smart, and what he means is to use the Wang family to force the Li family to profit from it
"Hahaha, yes, yes, worthy of being a businessman, his head is indeed quite flexible, but if I tell you that Wang Jia has reached an alliance with my Li family"
The boom was like a thunderbolt, and it instantly fell into the minds of many businessmen present.
One by one, they raised their heads with a face full of astonishment and incredulity,
"How is this possible? Did the Wang family and the Li family unite with each other to form an alliance? ”
"Just kidding, in the past, the three families were dominant, but now they want to join forces, if so, then they have the final say in the entire Haishang City."
The Wang family, the Li family, and the Wu family are the three major maritime merchants in Haishang City.
The Wu family is now in the middle of the road, and if the Li family and the Wang family join forces, they can almost monopolize the entire Haishang City.
If this is the case, then all the merchants present know very well that by that time they will have no other way but to obey, after all, if you are obedient, maybe the two masters will be able to share a mouthful of soup with you, but if you are not obedient, I am afraid that you will really not be able to move an inch
All the merchants present were terrified, and they all chattered with a worried look on their faces, and their originally hard hearts began to shake
"Crazy, crazy, the Wang family and the Li family have joined forces with the two masters, we can't be the opponents of these two masters at all"
"That's for sure, if it was changed to before, at least the Wu family can support it, but now that the Wu family has completely collapsed, what should we do? Will it continue like this? Or that we join the Chamber of Commerce."
"But once we join the Chamber of Commerce, we will completely lose our independent right to hand over our channels, and at that time, it will be up to the head of the Li family himself."
"That being said, but what can we do if we don't? Is it true that the family is in the middle of the road, because of the money owed by the family, and finally sold the land and the wife was separated? ”
The merchants talked in a whisper, and there was nothing more painful in the world than this, knowing that the other party had dug a trap, but he could only jump down.
Because if you don't jump, you will at least live, and if you don't jump, you will really die.
