Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 231
"What do you think?" Fang Jing asked, "Hangzhou Prefecture, especially the local businesses in the city must have participated in it? Scrape some money back from them."

"President, even if companies like Fucheng are in the business, their largest family can at most lose a million taels?" Zhu Shenglong said, "Including some other small dealers, even if we wiped them all out, it won't be much."

"I estimate that a total of two or three million taels is the best." Shi Liusheng also said.

This time they supported Liang Jingwei on the list, and they thought in their hearts that they had to prepare at least 500 million taels.

My two companies have already paid out 200 million taels, and it is easy for other members of the chamber of commerce to make up 300 million taels.

After all, the members of the Chamber of Commerce on my side are not like the other group of companies that suddenly joined forces. They have limited mutual trust and even have to be wary of each other.

Of course, 500 million taels is the lower limit, and it should not be enough.

"Something is better than nothing, and it can always make up for some losses." Liang Jingwei said.

It is already very good to be able to get two or three million taels from these dealers, and it has dealt a severe blow to the opponent.

"We can use some tricks." Fang Jing said with a smile, "Let more people over there participate."

"President, I would like to hear the details." Zhu Shenglong asked hastily.

Shi Liusheng's eyes were also a little curious, wondering if Fang Jing had any good ideas.

He felt that he could give the opponent a hard time, and he felt excited just thinking about it.

Liang Jingwei is on the list, and they are bound to win.

It would be ridiculous for the other party to think that getting a few million taels would make him back down.

So, as long as I bet on Liang Jingwei, as long as the amount is large enough, I can get the money back from them and make them vomit another big mouthful of blood.

Of course, this has to test the strength of one's own side, and betting also requires huge silver support.

"We don't pay much attention to the companies in the Hangzhou prefecture. Now we want to let the companies in other prefectures that they have joined forces to participate in, and let them also participate in the management." Fang Jing said.

"Big dealers are generally dominated by local firms. They are local snakes, and firms from other prefectures will not cross the border." Zhu Shenglong felt that Fang Jing's plan might be difficult to implement.

"That's why we have to put pressure on them." Fang Jing laughed, "We are acting in the name of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and we have to say that we are preparing 500 million taels of silver, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to afford it."

"That's why." Zhu Shenglong nodded and said, "We are based in the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the opposite is just a business. I believe those gamblers trust us more. If they want to compete with us, they must have stronger financial resources."

If one firm can't do it, then the other side can only sit in the name of joint ventures from various prefectures, so as to overwhelm their own chamber of commerce.

There may be tens of thousands or even a million people gathered in the rivers and lakes in Hangzhou this time.

People in Jianghu are still quite keen on these kinds of gambling. As long as there are [-] to [-]% participating in it, each person is considered to be ten taels, and there will be millions of taels, in fact, there will be more, tens of millions of taels. possible.

In the past, these bankers could make a lot of money from it, and there were still several million taels.

It is beneficial, and it can suppress the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce. There is a great possibility that the firms there will join hands to become the dealer.

After all, in their view, they will definitely not lose money if they sit on the bank.

If you have money to make, who would think less?

This is different from them raising money to suppress Jingwei's ranking, their enthusiasm must be higher.

Fang Jing and the others are now ready to snipe at these dealers and take food from them.

A firm, not even a firm in Hangzhou Prefecture, could satisfy their appetite.

They are going to take out the fortunes of these rival firms.

"In order for them to jump over the wall in a hurry, we have to prepare money here." Fang Jing said, "I hope everyone can prepare as much cash as possible in the past few days. If you need it, treat it as I borrowed from you."

"President, what are you talking about? It's a common hatred. As long as you say a word, we are obliged to do so." Shi Liusheng patted his chest and shouted.

"After this battle, I believe that Jiangnandong County will really belong to our Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce." Zhu Shenglong said excitedly.

Of course, he is also ambitious. Now the chamber of commerce has expanded its power to a county, but this is not enough, it is just that the expansion power has not yet been fully controlled.

After this battle, those firms should give in. When Jiangnan East County is stabilized, they will start to expand towards other counties.

He believed that Fang Jing would definitely do the same.

Although this is not dominated by myself, the benefits I wish my family can get are huge.

The strength of Fang's firm lies here, and they don't believe it will fail.

"President, there is something that needs attention." Shi Liusheng said suddenly.

"please say."

"We have to pay attention to the Zhou family business." Shi Liusheng said.

"Since the first firm in Hangzhou, Hong's firm, has been replaced by Zhou's firm, and their power has indeed expanded rapidly over the years." Wang Xiyue said, "We must pay attention to it."

"Miss Wang, this is actually just an appearance." Shi Liusheng said, "As far as I know, Zhou Fohu has colluded with overseas pirate forces. His Zhou family business has grown and expanded rapidly over the years, and it will not work without strong financial support. , he earned a lot of silver taels from overseas.”

"How do you know?" Zhu Shenglong asked.

"Don't forget, there is the one from the capital behind me." Shi Liusheng glanced at Zhu Shenglong and said.

Zhu Shenglong had nothing to say.

Behind Shi Liusheng is the eldest prince, everyone already knows this.

Shi Liusheng didn't mean to hide it.

Everyone didn't care much about it.

That was Shi Liusheng and the eldest prince's business, and it was Shi's family's business to pay the first prince every year.

With the influence of the eldest prince, it is normal for Shi Liusheng to know some inside stories and secrets.

"Actually, one or two out of ten companies along the coast will secretly ship by sea, and if they ship by sea, they will have some connection with pirates." Shi Liusheng continued, "Zhou Fohu can be ranked among them, at the forefront. .”

"Could he be like that Zhou Shu, who was originally a pirate?" Liang Jingwei asked curiously.

"No." Shi Liusheng shook his head and said, "The Zhou family has been running a business for several generations, and the collusion with the pirates should have started with his father. His father was in danger at sea, and it should be that collusion with the pirates. Yes, there is a sworn friend."

"Then he should be related to the big pirate forces at sea, which one of the five big pirate forces?" Fang Jing asked.

Zhou Fohu's business name is so big, and it is related to pirates, so it can't be some small pirates.

Fang Jing didn't like this, but Zijuan's news situation was not omnipotent, there were too many places to collect information.

They have investigated the companies in various prefectures, especially the more powerful companies in the local area will also focus on the investigation, but this kind of effort is obviously not enough.

Coupled with such a secret, the Zhou family business must have been well hidden, and Zijuan and the others did not find out.
