Chapter 42: Eighty Percent
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
What is the existence of the Gu family?
One of the four major salt merchants of Daqin!
The most important thing is that the Gu family's business is also fueled by the imperial court.
Therefore, this Gu family not only has a lot of money and food, but also has a very noble status.
It was precisely because of knowing this that when they heard Gu Siyuan say this, everyone's eyes were full of shock.
Zhang Han's expression was the most obvious, last night he studied the profits of salt, if he took Daqin's salt industry for his own use, the profits were something he couldn't think of.
Now the Gu family has the handiwork of the imperial court behind it, and it is the most suitable to use it as official salt.
At that time, the Gu family's industry will become the head of Daqin.
"Gu ......"
As soon as he said a word, Gu Siyuan raised his hand to interrupt, "Brother Zhang, you don't have to say much. β
"I can make the decision on this matter, if he can make better salt than this, then my Gu family should treat him as a guest, even if it is to give him the Gu family's property?"
"But if you can't do it, it's a different thing......"
After speaking, Gu Siyuan looked at Ran Fang with disdain, looked at him condescendingly, and waited for Ran Fang's answer with his neck held high.
He was going to make a bet with Ran Fang, if Ran Fang didn't have a way to make salt, then he would also have to pay the price for Ran Fang.
None of the people present spoke, waiting for Ran Fang's answer.
Ran Fang raised his head and glanced at Gu Siyuan lightly, the expression on his face did not change at all.
"Gu family? Is it strong? β
As he spoke, he also turned his head to look at Fusu, as if to get this answer from his mouth.
It wasn't that Ran Fang deliberately provoked Gu Siyuan, it was in his opinion that he had really never heard of this Gu family.
Moreover, in his opinion, with this kind of salt, if it weren't for the support of the imperial court behind his back, how could he be allowed to stay for so long?
Gu Siyuan didn't expect Ran Fang to react like this, and felt that he was deeply insulted.
Suddenly, he looked at Ran Fang with angry eyes, "What do you know?!" My Gu family is the largest salt merchant in Kanto, and the entire salt industry in Kanto is under the name of my Gu family! β
Ran Fang saw Fusu nodding, and then he had some concepts in his heart.
However, in his opinion, as long as other salt merchants make a little progress in this quality of salt, they will not have a little bit of a market.
This kind of merchant who may be replaced at any time, he really can't take it to heart.
"Oh? I see. β
"No wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out that you are under the protection of Your Majesty."
"But in my opinion, salt of this quality is just the inferior."
"Besides, there are four major salt merchants in this Great Qin, which salt merchant doesn't want to take the lead? Who's not racking their brains to find a way to extract salt? β
"As long as one person finds a way, the imperial court is afraid that it will be replaced immediately, and then the glory of the Gu family will just be a passing cloud."
After Ran Fang finished speaking, Gu Siyuan's face turned from red to white, and it was obvious that he also knew this truth.
It's just that now the Gu family is guarding the Kanto region and occupying the geographical advantage.
He kept his head down and stood there without saying a word.
Wang Juan heard the meaning of Ran Fang's words, if the Gu family couldn't satisfy him, I'm afraid Ran Fang wouldn't mind cooperating with others.
He immediately arched his hand and said: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, this salt is also the greatest interest of the world, no matter who does it, it will be beneficial to Daqin." β
"It's just that this Gu family occupies a place in Kanto and has been working hard in Xianyang for many years, so it would be most suitable for the Gu family to do it."
Hearing this, Gu Siyuan also calmed down, and recognized Ran Fang's words a lot in his heart.
It's just that the expression on his face is still a little indignant, "Hmph, what you said is light." β
"Our Gu family only occupies one place in Kanto, which is enough to enrich the world, if we can collect the world's salt industry, this business will be the best in the world."
"......"
Speaking of this, Gu Siyuan was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and raised his head again and said: "Our Gu family's salt is the best in the world, so the refining process is more refined, and the price is higher than others." β
"Therefore, our Gu family only does business in the Kanto region, and even if those places are done, they can't afford it."
"It's easier said than done all over the world!"
Hearing this, Ran Fang nodded, what he said was true.
The people of this world can't even eat enough, where can they still have money to eat high-quality salt.
Kanto is a land of abundance, and the people's lives are slightly better, and they can eat some low-cost salt.
But in other places, where years of war have led to the misery of the people's lives, where can they still pursue those high-level things?
"If you can improve the quality of salt and reduce the cost of salt, that's fine."
"At that time, this salt business will not only be in Xianyang City, and it may not even be just in Daqin, as far as I know, the demand for salt in the north is even greater."
Gu Siyuan looked down on a rich son like Ran Fang, this kind of difficult thing was very light in their mouths.
"Hmph, if there is really such a way, then my Gu family is willing to give a thousand gold."
Only then did Ran Fang raise his eyes, knocked on the table with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Daughter? You're too naΓ―ve to buy my salt-making method. β
"And what do you want?"
"I want to take care of eighty percent of the profits of all the family's industries!"
"Eighty?!" Gu Siyuan shouted loudly, as if he didn't expect this Ran Fang's appetite to be so big, "Don't deceive people too much!" β
Eighty percent of the profits?
The people present were shocked, if this Ran Fang really had this kind of method, it would be to collect the salt industry in the world.
There is also eighty percent of the business, that is, all the money in the world is sent to Ran Fang's hands!
While everyone was shocked, they couldn't help but be a little curious about Ran Fang's method in their hearts, what method could make him have such confidence?
Ignoring everyone's eyes, Ran Fang looked at Gu Siyuan and asked, "Don't you dare to bet?" β
Being so provoked by Ran Fang, Gu Siyuan suddenly felt that he was holding a breath in his heart, he stood up straight, and said loudly: "Yes!" β
But he didn't believe Ran Fang at all in his heart, if there was really such a method, he would have become the richest man in Great Qin a long time ago, could he still be locked up in this Xianyang Prison?
"But you have to prove it!"
"But Mr. has no way to prove himself, so he has to kneel down and kowtow to the Gu family to admit his mistakes! Apologize for the disrespect to the Gu family just now! β
Wang Juan's face sank, he knew the importance of Ran Fang to His Majesty, if Ran Fang lost at that time, it would not be a slap in the face of His Majesty!
Before he could speak, he was stopped by Ran Fang raising his hand.
Looking at Gu Siyuan's eyes, Ran Fang said in a deep voice: "Yes." β
"Good! That's it! Gu Siyuan's face was happy, and he immediately said, "When will it start?" β
Ran Fang glanced at a few people, some of them were worried and some curious, but he didn't care at all.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll make a list for you, and you have someone send me something." β
"In three days, you will come to this Xianyang Prison again, and then everything will be clear."
A few people nodded, and they agreed.
When he walked to the door, he heard Ran Fang add behind him, "On that day, it's best to bring someone who can call the shots." β
Gu Siyuan paused, his expression was a little embarrassed, now the Gu family's affairs are in charge of his father, and he has to go back to inform his father about this matter.
