In the hall of Changsun's family, when the eldest elder heard the butler's report, it turned out that the problem lay with the shopkeeper and accountant who were cheating on others. He couldn't help but get angry. He picked up the tea cup next to him and smashed it on the ground!
"Damn it, it's really despicable. Look for it. Find it for me. You have to dig three feet into the ground to find these two people. I'm going to skin them and whip them to their corpses!" the great elder said angrily.
The housekeeper nodded hurriedly and agreed, but did not leave, still standing aside.
"Why don't you go and find these two people for me? What are you doing standing here?" the great elder roared.
"Great Elder, don't be in a hurry to find these two. The iron shop's affairs are the top priority right now. There are so many people gathered outside the iron shop, demanding compensation from us. If we can't solve the problem, the iron shop will be doomed!"
The housekeeper said anxiously.
After being reminded by the housekeeper, the great elder finally realized that he was really confused by those two people just now.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, the elder ordered: "There must be someone behind this matter, but I don't know who they are. If they want compensation, just pay it to them. Nothing can happen to the iron shop. This is the backbone of our eldest son's family. If anything happens, The problem is, my eldest grandson’s family’s business will plummet!”
"This... Great Elder, how much money will I have to pay for this? I'm afraid..." the housekeeper hesitated.
"What are you afraid of? Those people are just here for money. As long as you pay them compensation, they will not cause trouble. It is mainly the people behind these people who are troublesome. They are not here for the money!" The great elder's eyes were cold. He was not too angry just now. Thinking about it more, now that I think about it, there is something fishy about this matter. It is obvious that someone is using the topic to attack the iron-making shop in order to get a piece of the iron-making business. "
"Don't even think about getting a share of the smelting soup!"
With the words of the great elder, the housekeeper calmed down a little, bowed to the great elder and stepped back to go about his business.
In a private room on the second floor of the Yan Lai Building, Luo Zhang was sitting at the head of the room, entertaining several guests with special status.
These guests were none other than the heads of the Xiao family, the head of the Dugu family, and the head of the Yuwen family who had just arrived from Chang'an County.
Under Luo Zhang's reception, the four of them had a great time exchanging glasses of wine!
Someone may ask, don’t the Yuwen family and the Dugu family have a quarrel with Luo Zhang? Why did they get together again?
In this world, everything is bustling for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The so-called dissatisfaction is nothing more than interests. As long as we have the same interests, we can become close friends.
The matter between the Dugu family and the Yuwen family was not a big deal, and it was nothing after punishing the two families.
The same goes for the two major families. They don't want to have a confrontation with Luo Zhang. Since Luo Zhang has extended an olive branch, how can they refuse.
For example, this time, the head of the Dugu family, Dugu Kuan, was so happy. Their family already had a grudge against the eldest grandson's family. This time, he could use Luo Zhang's method to punish the eldest grandson's family. He fully agreed and agreed without any hesitation. .
The result made him extremely satisfied. After drinking two glasses of wine, he smiled and said: "Chang Kuai, Chang Kuai. I say Master Luo, your method is wonderful, so wonderful. Tell me how you came up with it. This time you are afraid of your eldest grandson." Even if the family is not destroyed, its strength will be greatly damaged!"
"That's it, how did you come up with this idea? And are the big shopkeeper and accountant from the Luo family? Otherwise, how could you do such a thing?" Yuwen's family leader followed.
Luo Zhang smiled and said nothing to this question and did not answer the question. What should I say about this matter? Could it be that these two people were indeed his? Was he captured by Li Yifu a few months ago?
If he said this, who would dare to do business with him? Who dares to have a close relationship with him?
I'm afraid they have to guard against him at all times, for fear that what happened to the Changsun family will happen to them again!
The head of the Xiao family spoke at this time: "This time, we thank Patriarch Luo. Let's toast to Patriarch Luo. If it weren't for Patriarch Luo, how could we get so much money for nothing? Don't you think so?"
The two of them looked at each other and picked up their wine glasses to congratulate. Although they wanted to know the answer, Luo Zhang didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything. They were not fools either. Naturally, they heard something in the words of the head of the Xiao family and hurriedly picked up the wine. The wine glasses should rise.
Not to mention anything else, not only did the three of them get hundreds of thousands or millions of taels of silver this time without paying a penny, where could such a good thing be found? Why do they have to worry so much!
Luo Zhang took a deep look at the head of the Xiao family. This Jiang is still very old. Compared with the head of the Xiao family, the head of the Dugu family and the head of the Yuwen family are far behind. It is no wonder that the Xiao family can dominate Jiangnan, and the Dugu family and the Yuwen family There is a reason why the Yuwen family can only stay in Chang'an!
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, several people drank a few more glasses. Patriarch Yuwen put down his wine glass and asked, "I wonder, Patriarch Luo, what should we do next?"
"That's right, Master Luo, if you can use my Dugu family, just give me your orders. I, Dugu Kuan, will never hesitate!" Dugu Kuan said with a grin.
Luo Zhang also put down his wine glass, glanced at the three of them and said, "Since you guys have ideas in their hearts, why are you asking me so secretly? You have also received my sincerity. I don't want any of the money, but after that I need to take more of the share, what do you think?"
"This is not possible. How can this money be compared with those shares! This needs to be discussed in the long term!" Dugu Kuan, who had just acted like he was following the rules, was the first to stand up and object.
"Master Luo, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I'm afraid this money is not the only part of the iron smelting business. You want to use this little money to get more share, but it's really a bit less, isn't it?" Master Yuwen also said.
Only the head of the Xiao family did not speak, but his eyes kept scanning back and forth between Dugu Kuan and the head of the Yuwen family, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luo Zhang smiled slightly and said: "You think you can defeat the Changsun family in this way and make him obediently hand over his share of iron smelting and let us participate?"
"If you think so, you can do the rest. As long as you can get some benefits, I won't take a share. But if I do it, the benefits will be mine alone. What do you think?"
"This..." Family leader Yuwen and Dugu Kuan looked at each other and didn't know what to say. At the moment, it seems that the Changsun family has indeed suffered a big loss, but if they want to make the Changsun family surrender and give up the iron-making business, then It’s simply a fool’s dream!
Although it is possible to succeed by relying on the three major families to do this, the possibility of success is not high.
If there is no possibility of success, then there is no way to talk about the share they are talking about now.
At this time, the head of the Xiao family spoke again: "What are you three doing? The four of us are cooperating. Don't be unhappy if the cooperation is not successful. Since the head of the Luo family wants to take more shares, he must have his reasons. You two are also smart people. Why can’t you see through it?”
The head of the Yuwen family and Dugu Kuan rolled their eyes. What do you mean they can't see through it? It's not that the matter is too important. This cake is so big. Who doesn't want to eat more? The Xiao family can stay out of it?
The head of the Xiao family did not pay attention to the two of them, but turned to look at Luo Zhang and said: "The head of the Luo family, what do you think should be done in this matter? We all listen to you. As for whether you want to take more shares, it is not a problem, as long as it can be done If this happens, you can take 40% of it!"
"What? Forty percent?" The head of the Yuwen family was the first to jump out and exclaimed.
"What? There is a problem? If the head of the Yuwen family thinks there is a problem, then you can handle it. If you succeed, we will also give you 40%. What do you think?" The head of the Xiao family mocked.
"Ah, this... 40% is 40%, it's okay, it's okay!" The head of the Yuwen family retorted deliberately, but he couldn't do it, so he could only say nothing more angrily.
Seeing that the head of the Xiao family dismissed Dugu Kuan and the head of the Yuwen family in just a few words, Luo Zhang had to sigh that the old fox was a bully, more convincing than himself, forty percent of the matter was solved in minutes, and left him speechless. It can be said!
Of course, Luo Zhang also kept the help from the head of the Xiao family in mind. Isn't that why he did this? Luo Zhang accepted it!
The head of the Yuwen family was stunned. Dugu Kuan still dared to say more. He kept agreeing. The head of the Yuwen family rolled his eyes. He had never seen such a shameless person, but he was the first one to refute.
If it were him, he would probably do the same thing, and there is nothing wrong with that!
