"Second Master, it's not good!"
early morning.
Liu Jingming had just gotten up when servants rushed over.
"What's the matter? It's so unbecoming to be in such a panic."
Liu Jingming looked calm.
Because I have confidence.
The Liu family is the richest man in Jinling. Over the years, they have established good relations with officials in Jiangnan and the capital. In this huge Jinling, there is really nothing that can make him panic.
"Second Master, look!"
The servant quickly handed over some snow-white fine particles.
"This is?"
As a salt merchant, Liu Jingming's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Then he picked a little with his hand and put it in his mouth.
"It is indeed salt. Where did it come from? Did a new salt mine be discovered at the salt farm? It's so fine, it's incredible."
Liu Jingming couldn't calm down anymore, his eyes were full of surprise.
Because he knows what it means.
This kind of salt is probably far inferior to what is used in the imperial palace. This is definitely an incredible discovery.
"Who is it? Whoever discovers this salt mine will be rewarded heavily."
Liu Jingming was overjoyed.
The servant's face was ashen and he hesitated: "Second Master, this is not our salt, this is the salt from Dakang Trading."
What?
Hearing this, Liu Jingming's expression suddenly changed, "How is that possible? That prodigal son?"
The servant quickly said: "It's absolutely true. Early this morning, Dakang Trading launched two kinds of salt, one is called snow salt and the other is fine salt..."
As he spoke, he took out two types of salt.
And Liu Jingming's face became extremely ugly.
Because these two salts, no matter which one they are, are far superior to the salt sold by Liu Family Wuzhou Trading.
To be precise, it was completely crushed.
The servant continued: "Now all the major salt merchants are going crazy and rushing to Dakang to trade."
"This is impossible. How could Dakang Trading have this kind of salt? They just started selling salt not long ago. Have they checked it?"
Liu Jingming's face was ashen.
The servant hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to check, but there is no news yet."
"Let's go! Go take a look!"
This time, Liu Jingming could no longer sit still.
The reason why the Liu family is able to become the richest man in Jinling is precisely because of salt. This is the foundation of the Liu family, as you can imagine.
At this time, outside Dakang Trading, countless salt merchants were buying salt.
In a loft opposite, Liu Jingming's face was ashen.
In front of him, Liu Changqing, the manager of Wuzhou Trading, said: "Second Master, what should we do now? With Dakang Trading doing this, no one wants our salt, and they are all swarming here."
Several other people also looked anxious.
These are all members of the Liu family, the backbone of Wuzhou's trade.
The two types of salt launched by Dakang Trading made them feel a huge threat. The most important thing is that the price is not expensive.
Snow salt is more expensive, but it doesn't matter. It's not for ordinary people.
And the dignitaries don't care.
The impact of the two salts on Wuzhou's trade could be described as devastating.
Liu Jingming's face was extremely gloomy and he was furious, "Where are the people sent out? They haven't been found yet?"
At this time, two servants walked in.
"How about it?"
Liu Changqing couldn't help but ask.
Liu Jingming also glanced over.
The servant quickly said: "Second Master, there is news. The salt comes from one of the salt factories in Dakang Trading Yanzhou. However, we just checked that place not long ago. It is just ordinary salt, nothing special. , has been taken over by Dakang Trading in the past few days..."
"Now it's cordoned off and our people can't get close."
"idiot!"
Liu Jingming said angrily, "Ordinary salt? Are you telling me this is ordinary salt?"
The servants were trembling and did not dare to express their anger.
The entire Jiangnan and southeastern provinces are almost all sea salt, and Yanzhou is a salt-producing land. Logically speaking, sea salt is almost the same, so there is no such situation.
But no one thought much about it at this time.
The main reason is that the purification of salt is not that mature in this era, let alone Dakang Trading.
Everyone knew that Prince Ning spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, so he had no time to study that thing. He just assumed that the other party had discovered a rare salt mine.
Liu Changqing said: "Second Master, now is not the time to be angry. The top priority is to solve the problem."
When Dakang produces such salt, Wuzhou’s trade must keep up.
Otherwise it would be unthinkable.
Why didn't Liu Jingming understand? After thinking about it, he said, "Make an appointment with Prince Ning for me."
Liu Changqing's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the second master wants to buy Prince Ning's salt mine?"
"good!"
Liu Jingming nodded, "Prince Ning is just for money, give him a good price, I believe he will not refuse."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
This is indeed a good idea.
From their point of view, it was impossible for Crown Prince Ning to do business well and he did not have the patience.
The Liu family is different. Once such a salt mine is really captured, then...
The group of people all seemed very excited. Such a salt mine should be reluctant to sell. Unfortunately, that prodigal son didn't understand this truth. He only knew how to make money.
"Remember, be sincere."
Liu Jingming added.
"yes!"
Just as these people were preparing to buy the salt farm, on the other side, Lin Bai and Zhu Kang were listening to music in the teahouse.
"Mr. Lin, Crown Prince."
A guy from Dakang Trading came over.
Lin Bai nodded casually, and Zhu Kang asked, "Is something wrong?"
The waiter said: "Back to the Crown Prince, Liu Jingming sent a greeting card to the Crown Prince and a lot of gifts. He hopes to meet the Crown Prince."
Zhu Kang looked puzzled when he heard this.
Lin Bai's eyes couldn't help but light up. Can't wait so soon? The response was too quick.
Is it really necessary to make a fortune?
However, you have to say hello to Prince Ning first about this matter. You cannot afford to offend such a big boss, so be careful.
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Prince Ning looked indifferent and looked at Lin Bai and said, "I heard that Mr. Lin has been wandering around with dogs these days. Could this be Mr. Lin's teaching method?"
I knew I would ask this.
Lin Baiwen was one of the first batch, saying: "Teaching and educating people is a step-by-step process and cannot be achieved overnight."
"Although Lin took the prince to play these days, if the prince had observed carefully, he should have discovered that the prince was beginning to get bored and was instead interested in the school. This is a good start."
Prince Ning hummed, "It must be a women's school!"
Lin Bai said: "At least it is a school, and it is full of talented girls from the two major academies."
Prince Ning silently seemed to agree with this statement.
"Tell me! What brings you here today? You must be here just to talk about this!"
"Prince Ning is wise."
Lin Bai said, "Lin came here with a question to ask the prince. If someone gives money to Dakang, does Dakang want it?"
Prince Ning was startled for a moment, "Why not if there is such a good thing?"
Lin Bai grinned, "Lin understands."
"What is this kid doing?"
After Lin Bai left, Prince Ning couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Shui Jing said calmly: "After the salt was released, the Liu family had trouble sleeping and eating. I heard that Liu Jingming handed the prince a greeting card. If nothing else, the Liu family will probably bleed."
