Chapter 170: Rent a Sugar Shop

The next day, Qin Di, Yan Xue and Qin Hanxu went to the grave.

They burned incense, candles, and yellow paper in front of the bluestone repaired grave, and paid tribute in a heavy mood.

In the evening, Qin Keng sent a message and said, "Fang Lixian, the fifth-generation heir of the Fang family, wants to see you." ”

When Qin Di heard this, he said in his heart: "This name is so good! I am the reincarnation of an immortal, and I don't dare to bring an immortal character, you are a mortal, dare to be so high-profile, and you are not afraid of being jealous of the heavens?"

Fang Lixian, a famous industrialist in China during the Republic of China and one of the pioneers of the chemical industry, was known as the "King of Daily Chemicals" and "King of Domestic Products", but unfortunately he only lived to be 47 years old and died in 1940.

Qin Di had never met Fang Lixian, but he remembered that Fang Lixian in history was killed by the Japanese because he refused to serve as the Minister of Industry of Wang's puppet government! In other words, he was an admirable national hero.

Another day, close to noon, Qin Di wore a blue cloth robe to the "Taibai Building" to the banquet, and Yan Xue wore a simple printed cheongsam. Despite this, one person is in the wind, and the other person is graceful, which still shows that it is different.

Qin Keng led them to the place, and after introducing each other, he left under the pretext of excuse.

In an elegant single room, there were a total of four people seated, except for Qin Di and Yan Xue, it was Fang Lixian and a young woman.

Fang Lixian was seven years older than Qin Di, although he was only 40 years old, he had a thin face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a small beard on his lips, and the whole person looked quite old, as if he was fifty years old.

And Qin Di looks like he is only in his early twenties because of his perennial cultivation. Yan Xue is more like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Fang Lixian greeted Yan Xue first: "Snow Girl is a generation of singers, I went to listen to your concert in the magic capital in person, and I also donated 100,000 yuan!"

Yan Xue returned the salute with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Fang for your generosity." ”

Fang Lixian said: "At that time, Mr. Qin donated one million, and I was shy in my pocket, which was really embarrassing. ”

Such two simple sentences suddenly shortened the distance between the two sides, and they didn't seem so strange.

The young woman next to her smiled and said, "My brother lives in the magic capital most of the time, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Qin here." My name is 'Fang Lixiang', and I like Snow Maiden's songs very much, so I came to meet her!"

This is not true, in fact, she didn't know that Xue Xiangwan would come, she just wanted to come over to see if Qin Dashao was as handsome as the newspaper said, otherwise why was she listed as one of the four princes of the Republic of China? How could Xue Xiangwan agree to marry him?

After a while, some side dishes were served on the table.

Everyone didn't move their chopsticks much, just chatted while drinking tea.

Fang Lixian said, "I heard that Mr. Qin is interested in my family's sugar shop?"

Qin Di nodded: "That's right, I want to ask the Fang family if they have the intention of letting go." Otherwise, if I set up a sugar store again, I am afraid that there will be a conflict with the Fang family. ”

There was a hint of threat in these words, and if it were a young man, he might rise up and shout: "Let the horse come!"

However, Fang Lixian was already forty years old, and he knew the strength of the Qin family from the newspaper, since the Qin family's grain store could have reserves of 10 million tons, he could naturally enter the sugar trade and lose both sides of the battle with the Fang family!

Fang Lixian groaned and said, "The Fang family has been in the sugar industry for 130 years! If you want us to give up completely, I'm afraid it's not realistic. The Fang family is a big family, passed down for five generations, there are many children and grandchildren, and it is difficult to reconcile everyone, even if I go out, I can't be the master of everyone. However, the two of us can work together to find a mutually acceptable solution. ”

Qin Di smiled: "That's what I mean. I have a proposal, I don't know if it's feasible. ”

"You say it, come and hear it. ”

"To be honest, I have no intention of getting involved in the sugar industry for a long time! So I want to ask, can you lease the Fang family sugar store to me? The lease period is 15 years, and during these 15 years, the Fang family can still get 10% of the dividends. ”

"And how is the rent calculated?"

"How about the rent calculated at 1 million oceans per year?"

Fang Lixian drank tea while concentrating on the calculation, and after a while, he said: "This number is a little less, I have 9 sugar stores, with a total capital of 23 million, rent plus 10% dividends, and the annual rate of return is only 15%. ”

Qin Di asked, "So how much does Mr. Fang think is appropriate?"

Fang Lixian smiled: "I hope the annual rate of return can reach 20%. This is not a sky-high asking price, because according to the Fang family's century-old experience in sugar trade, the price of white sugar is high and low, and the average yield can reach 25%. In addition, I also hope that Mr. Qin can pay the rent for 15 years in a lump sum, I wonder if it is feasible?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "Then I will lose money! If I pay 15 years of rent in advance, how much interest should I have?"

In those years, the interest rate of private loans was very high, and Fang Lixian wanted to raise a large amount of money and invest in the "chemical industry company" to produce toothpaste and soap. The daily chemical industry is more profitable, so he met with Qin Di and wanted to get some benefits from this "stupid young master with a lot of money".

Next, the two sides clashed, hiding knives in the cotton, and kept silent.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, Qin Di paid 18 million yuan in rent in advance, and rented nine sugar stores for 15 years, equivalent to 1.2 million oceans per year, and guaranteed 10% dividends.

Fang Lixian thought that he had earned it, because in his opinion, the sugar business had not been good in the past two years, and it was difficult to guarantee 15% of the profit. And the conditions that Qin Di promised him are equivalent to 18% of the annual profit, and there is no risk, because there is Qin's grain bank and Guotai Pharmaceutical as the backing, unless these two companies collapse, then it is another matter.

In Qin Di's view, this business was profitable! He was able to integrate the white sugar of the South Seas with the white sugar of North and South America, so as to control the sugar trade of most of China and Japan.

This is not the same as grain reserves! Qin's grain store is mainly for charity, and he doesn't want to make much money at all. And white sugar is a food additive, and you won't die if you don't eat sugar, so Qin Di doesn't mind making a fortune from it.

Fang Lixian also felt that after 15 years of development by the Qin family, when the sugar store was returned to the Fang family, it might have expanded the channels and the business would be easier to do, so it would be beneficial to the other party's family.

In Qin Di's eyes, he saw that after 1948, the dynasty was about to change!

After the deal was negotiated, Qin Di rented a warehouse, took out the silver he had stolen from Tang Yulin, piled it up in the warehouse, and then asked the Fang family to come and pick it up! For him, this was a disguised way of money laundering.

Fang Liquid Immortal suddenly saw heavy silver ingots, and suddenly his eyes burst into stars!

"Fuck Qin Da Shao! Don't you know that since March 10 this year, silver ingots have been abolished and are not allowed to circulate?"

said that the silver bar was not allowed to circulate, but in fact, it could be exchanged for silver dollars at the bank, but he didn't want to change it in person despite Qin Di, the earth-shattering thief!

He gave Fang Liquid Immortal a large amount of silver ingots because the Fang family was so rich and expensive that it was easy to launder the money!

And the Fang family will not shout in order to prepare the capital for daily chemical production, let alone take the initiative to expose and report.

Besides, even if it is exposed, it will not cure the Qin family's crimes, because there is no mark of Tang Yulin on the silver ingots, who knows where it came from? Isn't it normal for the Qin Clan's grain bank to sell grain all over the country and collect some silver ingots back without having time to put them into the bank?
