Wu Jianzhang himself is a businessman with very financial strength and is also familiar with foreign trade, but after arriving in the magic capital, he has been mediocre, occupying a small market share, and earning not much profit, only a hundred thousand yuan, which cannot be compared with Zhao Dagui and Lin Aqin, the two bosses who are in the limelight.

This is because Wu Jianzhang is old and more conservative, but at this time, the magic capital is a paradise for adventurers, and wealth favors people who are willing to take risks, and the second is because Wu Jianzhang is a shareholder of Qichang Foreign Company, and is secretly rejected by British businessmen, and would rather cooperate with descendants like Zhao Dagui and Lin Aqin.

This batch of foreign goods in Zhao Dagui's hands is actually accumulated in the first half of the year, accounting for the vast majority of the foreign goods transported to the magic capital during this period, once the Wu family takes this batch of goods, the Chinese businessmen who are interested in doing foreign cloth business can basically only take the goods from the Wu family, so that after a few months, this business relationship will be fixed, that is, Zhao Dagui wants to squeeze in again It will be much more difficult.

What's even better is that Lin Aqin's Yisheng Xing's business scale is also very large, but most of it is opium in his hands, and when the time comes, the Wu family will operate foreign cloth and Lin Aqin will operate opium, and the two will share the world equally.

As for Zhao Dagui, when the time comes, he will quit the foreign goods business for a period of time, and he will have to go to the United Kingdom, and it will take a year or two to go back and forth, and when he comes back, the world of this magic capital has already been decided.

The more Wu Jianzhang thought about it, the more he felt that the housekeeper's idea was good, of course, it would be better if he bought the firm by the way while taking the goods in Zhao Dagui's hands, even if Zhao Dagui was unwilling to sell the firm, and bought his houses and courtyards in Suzhou and the magic capital, it could also give people the impression that the Wu family completely replaced Zhao Dagui.

The most important thing is that foreign goods such as foreign cloth are very scarce now, and they are red and purple, and the Wu family got this batch of goods from Zhao Dagui, and by the way, they can make some money, and they will not lose their capital.

Of course, with the current strength and status of the Wu family, what is more important is the monopoly position that this batch of goods can bring, rather than the profit of tens of thousands of yuan.

If you can spend 1 million yuan to win this batch of goods in Zhao Dagui's hands, increase the price by 100,000 yuan, sell them at 1.1 million yuan, gain a monopoly position in the foreign cloth business, and spend some money to buy some industries in Zhao Dagui's hands, this business is very good.

Zhao Dagui's problem now is that there are too many goods in his hands, and it is more troublesome to ship, and for the Wu family, it is precisely because of the large number of goods in this batch that it is more valuable to take over.

Compared with these calculations, the so-called railways are just illusory things, and whoever wants to do it can do it.

Wu Jianzhang discussed with the housekeeper for a long time and finalized some details before taking the housekeeper to visit Zhao Dagui together.

Zhao Dagui enthusiastically invited the two in, and the two sides talked a lot.

After some greetings, Wu Jianzhang got down to business and asked Zhao Dagui if he was willing to sell all the foreign cloth in his hand to the Wu family, and the price was easy to say.

As a result, Zhao Dagui was very interested and carefully asked the Wu family's offer.

"The amount of goods in your hands is too large, and it is estimated that only our Wu family can eat the entire demon capital.

In this way, I won't let you lose money, this batch of goods is worth 1.1 million, and I will buy all of them at a price of 900,000 yuan, what do you think?" Wu Jianzhang said kindly.

Yesterday, Wu Jianzhang and the housekeeper totaled for a long time, and felt that the purchase cost of this batch of goods in Zhao Dagui's hands was about 900,000 yuan, so let's start talking about it from 900,000 yuan, which is lower than this, and it is easy to attract Zhao Dagui to rise, and if it is higher than this, it is a loss.

"Even if I put this batch of goods in the warehouse for sale, the agency fee will be 50,000, 100,000 to 150,000, and the most ruthless price in the warehouse will be higher than yours, why don't I cooperate with the warehouse and do business with the Wu family?" Zhao Dagui shook his head slightly and said disapprovingly.

Wu Jianzhang keenly felt that there was a drama in the middle, such a low offer, the other party did not raise his sleeves, which means that he was still interested.

"Isn't there a lot of goods in your batch, put them in the warehouse, I don't know how long it will take to sell them, it's not good if there is a change in the middle.

Besides, don't you still have to scrape together money to build a railway, which is also a cost. ”

"According to the current popularity of foreign cloth, this batch of goods will be sold out, and it will only be a matter of half a year, and I can give people an agency fee of 50,000 yuan, so that people can sell it out within half a year.

You are an old-timer in the business world, and you should know the way better than me. ”

"Brother Zhao is right, but the advantage of my side is that as long as you are willing to ship, the money will arrive in two or three days, which needs to be considered.

Anyway, the quotation from my side has passed, according to the rules, Brother Zhao also has to reveal how much money you are willing to sell?"

"This..."Zhao Dagui groaned, as if he wanted to loosen his mouth, but finally changed his words: "I have a lot of use for this money, and this product can't be sold too cheaply."

In this way, this batch of goods is worth 1.1 million yuan, and you give me 1.05 million yuan, which is considered the agency fee I converted to 50,000 yuan for you, how about it?"

"That's still a little higher, if I get the goods directly from the foreigners, it can be much lower than this..."

"You can't say that, most of the foreign cloth in the whole demon capital is here with me, even if you are looking for foreigners, you can't find much foreign cloth..."

The two sides discussed for a long time, and both sides had some intention to negotiate, but they just failed to reach a consensus for a long time.

Wu Jianzhang is experienced, secretly surprised, this Zhao Dagui seems to have the intention of negotiating this business, it seems that the so-called railway business is not groundless, but at every critical moment, Zhao Dagui has to bite the unwillingness to reduce prices, and why.

In fact, there is a difference of about 100,000 yuan, and Wu Jianzhang has no problem taking it down as soon as he grits his teeth, but it is out of the instinct of a businessman, and he must bargain.

After talking for a while, Wu Jianzhang changed the topic and asked Zhao Dagui if he would like to sell the branch in Suzhou, or the property in the magic capital.

Zhao Dagui had money some time ago, and spent 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan to buy a large courtyard in Suzhou, which was used as a place for the shopkeepers to live and work, and also made a warehouse, showing the strength of Dagui Commercial House to Suzhou businessmen.

When it comes to these industries, Zhao Dagui's meaning is not very clear, neither like Dagui Commercial Bank that completely refuses to sell, but also unwilling to sell easily, that is, Wu Jianzhang said that he would increase the price of these industries by two percent on the basis of the original price, and Zhao Dagui just smiled and did not let go.

Wu Jianzhang talked with Zhao Dagui for a long time, confirming that Zhao Dagui had the intention of doing business, but he was unusually stubborn about the price, and finally said goodbye to Zhao Dagui and went home.

"Let's check, before I went to visit Zhao Dagui, did anyone go there in advance?" Wu Jianzhang returned home, and couldn't wait to release the housekeeper and secretly investigate whether Zhao Dagui had received other guests before meeting him.

The housekeeper knew that this matter was very important, so he immediately sent his henchmen to investigate, and after getting the results, he couldn't help but scold the bastard, and then he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly reported to Wu Jianzhang.

"So, just before we met Zhao Dagui, Lin Aqin of Yishengxing visited Zhao Dagui?" Wu Jianzhang was not surprised when he got the results of the investigation.
