(Knowing the words: the first update of the new year, I wish book friends a happy new year, and lovers will eventually become dependents!!)

Zhao Dagui had an ambiguous attitude before, so naturally someone had already come before, and the price quoted was not low, so he would bite the price.

"This Lin Aqin is really a bastard, and he came out to make trouble at a critical moment. It's only been a few months since they established the Yisheng Movement, and he can really eat this worth more than a million goods?" the butler said hatefully.

"Not necessarily. The strength of Yisheng Bank has always been on par with Dagui Commercial Bank, Zhao Dagui can have more than one million goods in his hands, and Yisheng Bank naturally has similar strength.

Besides, there are many rich Britons behind Yisheng Bank, who were willing to borrow 8,000 yuan from Lin Aqin to set up a trading house, and at this time, they were naturally willing to pool money and take over all the foreign cloth business.

In this way, Zhao Dagui sold two goods, and sold them at a high price. Wu Jianzhang nodded, disapproving, now the only ones who have the strength to take the goods in Zhao Dagui's hands are himself and Lin Aqin, and the reasons for getting this batch of goods are surprisingly the same, they all want to monopolize the foreign cloth business in the magic capital.

"In this way, our quotation must also be increased. Wu Jianzhang thought for a moment, sighed and said.

At the same time, Lin Aqin, who was promoted to the next level, also jumped up in his firm.

"What's the matter with Wu Jianzhang's old mallet, trying to jump out and pick peaches at a critical moment?" Lin Aqin scolded angrily.

Lin Aqin's Yisheng Bank was established for a short time, and Zhao Dagui was well-managed, his English was also very good, and he had an excellent relationship with foreign businessmen, so Yisheng Bank has not been able to compete with Daguixing.

Fortunately, Zhao Dagui had a stinky problem, not doing opium business, so Lin Aqin seized the opportunity to vigorously develop, although it was worse than Daguixing in terms of foreign cloth, but monopolized more than sixty percent of the opium business, so that Yishengxing and Daguixing were on an equal footing.

Zhao Dagui wants to change careers to repair the earth, oh, no, it is to build some Laoshzi railway, Lin Aqin supports it from the bottom of his heart, and hopes that Zhao Dagui will go to the UK as soon as possible, and it is better to stay for four or five years and then come back, it is better not to come back.

At the same time, Zhao Dagui still has a huge amount of foreign cloth in his hands, accounting for the vast majority of all foreign cloth stocks in the magic capital today, as long as he wins this batch of goods, Yisheng Bank can take advantage of the situation to vigorously expand the foreign cloth business, and all the Chinese merchants who are willing to sell foreign cloth are enveloped, and even monopolize the foreign cloth business in the entire magic capital.

In this way, this batch of foreign cloth in Zhao Dagui's hands is of great significance to Yishengxing, Lin Aqin must take it, and it would be better to take down all the Dagui Commercial Houses in Zhao Dagui's hands by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Aqin came back from a discussion with Zhao Dagui, the subordinates sent to monitor the situation of Dagui Commercial Bank came back to report, saying that Wu Jianzhang had specially visited Zhao Dagui and seemed to have talked with Zhao Dagui for a long time before going home.

Lin Aqin is also a smart person, how can he not know that Wu Jianzhang's idea is exactly the same as his own, to take down this batch of goods in Zhao Dagui's hands, and by the way, become the first brother in the Yangbu business circle.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, Lin Aqin didn't want to just send Zhao Dagui away, and a more financially powerful Wu Jianzhang stepped in and fought with him in the foreign cloth business.

At this time, he could only raise the offer and fight with Wu Jianzhang.

Zhao Dagui sat on the high platform to fish, watching Wu Jianzhang and Lin Aqin continue to visit him, and then increase the offer little by little, the promised conditions are getting better and better, and the conditions finally reached are so good that he himself is surprised.

After several rounds of negotiations, Wu Jianzhang made the following offers:

He used 1.05 million yuan in cash to buy all the foreign goods in Zhao Dagui's hands, and then spent 70,000 yuan to buy Zhao Dagui's shop and real estate in Suzhou, as well as the Zhao family's compound where the headquarters of the Modu Dagui Commercial Bank was located, and at the same time asked Zhao Dagui to promise not to do business in Suzhou in the next five years, including taking or selling goods.

Considering that Zhao Dagui's real estate in Suzhou and the Zhao family's compound together are not worth 25,000 yuan, this is quite a generous offer, and it is also acceptable not to do business in Suzhou for five years.

It's just that this offer is much worse than Lin Aqin's offer.

Lin Aqin's offer is:

paid 1.25 million yuan in exchange for all the foreign goods in Zhao Dagui's hands, as well as all Zhao Dagui's shops and real estate in Suzhou, and Zhao Dagui promised not to do business in Suzhou in the next three years, and Zhao Dagui's properties in the magic capital, such as the Zhao family's compound, could be kept by himself.

This offer is so good that Zhao Dagui himself can't believe that this is a business negotiated by relying on his lame negotiation skills, which is simply too good.

Here, it also reflects the completely different business styles of Lin Aqin and Wu Jianzhang, Lin Aqin's approach is to negotiate the business first regardless of whether he can make money or not, and occupy the market share;

Wu Jianzhang, on the other hand, is much more conservative, even if he sees huge profits in front of him, he can be patient, talk about business meticulously in accordance with business rules, and will not give up the principle of quoting high prices.

On the one hand, it also explains why Lin Aqin was able to rise quickly, monopolizing most of the opium business and a large number of smuggling businesses within a few months, this is the unscrupulous person who will do whatever it takes to gain more market share, and he doesn't care if he loses money for this.

Rivaling people with this style is a tragedy for all businessmen, because no matter how you quote, you can't compete with people like Lin Aqin who would rather lose money than do business.

However, this also explains why in history, Lin Aqin would accumulate huge wealth in a short period of time, almost dominate the business world of the magic capital, and then immediately go bankrupt, wait until a few years later, and then encounter the problem of poor turnover again, and leave the magic capital forever after encountering the second bankruptcy.

Character determines the ending, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me.

"Since you are so sincere, I can only reluctantly accept it. Zhao Dagui sighed, and finally decided to accept Lin Aqin's offer.

The quotations of the two parties are so different that a fool knows how to choose well.

As for what kind of consequences this will bring to Lin Aqin's righteous ascension, Zhao Dagui doesn't care at all.

Not to mention that the two families are in competition, more importantly, Zhao Dagui has always believed that all foreign firms and compradors at this time are guilty of original sin, because none of the foreign firms and compradors at this time are not dealing in opium.

Let's just say that in this era, Jardine is the most notorious opium dealer, and even when the first Opium War started, Jardine played a great role in it, and the other Taichu and Baoshun, Ben and the like, which did not make a fortune by selling opium.

Speaking of Wu Jianzhang's Qichang Foreign Company, it was the first American company to deal in opium, and I don't know how many people it poisoned.

According to statistics, before the Opium War, only 90 percent of the opium traded by the British was undeclared contraband, and another 10 percent had to pay customs duties.
