Xie Chengjie felt even more regretful. How could he be so short-sighted before? How much profit would this Longjing tea alone bring to Fang Jun every year? Not to mention there are iron factories and other workshops, as well as the Fangjiawan wharf where Guanzhong Department Store is distributed...
This is clearly the giant of Guanzhong's business. How can the Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River be easily provoked?
I'm so dizzy!
Not only did the Xie family suffer a crisis, but they also lost such a highly respected scholar as Wang Xue'an. After this incident, Wang Xue'an's reputation has been ruined, and there is no place for him among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River...
We can only make friends with such a person sincerely, how can we offend him to the point of death?
Clicking his tongue, Xie Chengjie praised: "It's really good tea! This tea is produced in the south of the Yangtze River, but Xie only tasted it by chance, let alone such a top quality. Xie really admired Erlang's vision and boldness! If it is discussed In matters of merchants, I am afraid that no one in the world can be better than Erlang, and even the ancient Tao Zhugong was no better than him!"
Fang Jun glanced at Xie Chengjie with a smile, this flattering...
However, this person is able to bend and stretch, and he is considered a character. That day in Qinglong Temple, Fang Jun saw how arrogant and arrogant this man was. A local tycoon from the south of the Yangtze River, with no official title, dared to dominate Chang'an!
But now, the situation is stronger than the person, so I can immediately lower my eyebrows and speak respectfully.
It is indeed not a fluke that the Jiangnan family can last for hundreds of years. I guess every family must have such a difficult person, right?
Fang Jun pondered for a moment, then suddenly showed a smile and said: "In the past, when the Jin Dynasty traveled south, the kings and Xie family moved together. What a rhyme and grace, elegance and grace, which made people yearn for it. Now that the Wang family is declining, only the Xie family has deep roots and luxuriant leaves. , it’s amazing. Someone has a business, I wonder if Uncle Xie would be interested in cooperating?”
Seeing Fang Jun complimenting his ancestor, Xie Chengjie was slightly proud. Through the ages and the history, how many noble families are there that are as prominent as the Xie family and will last for thousands of years?
Hearing that Fang Jun mentioned business, Xie Chengjie's face beamed with joy: "Although the Xie family has passed down poems and books, farmed and read, but the family has multiplied and the population is large, they also have to run some merchant affairs to support the family. What business does Erlang have? It doesn't matter, don't talk about cooperation or not, your business is the Xie family's business, if the Xie family can help, it is their duty to do so."
What she said was beautiful, but what she did before was too immoral...
However, there is already a calculation in his mind, and Fang Jun does not intend to settle accounts with Xie Chengjie. Even if he wants to settle accounts, there is no need to rush.
"Last year, a certain person negotiated several businesses with aristocratic merchants from the Gaochang Kingdom in the Western Regions, including cashmere fabrics and grape wine. Not long ago, a certain person worked with Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan to promote a highland barley wine in Tubo. Prime Minister Lu Dongzan produced and brewed wine in Tubo, and a certain person was responsible for selling it to all parts of the Tang Dynasty. I wonder if the Xie family intends to become the general agent of these three commodities in Jiangnan? "
Hearing this, Xie Chengjie was shocked and fainted...
My Xie family is a hairpin family that has been passed down for thousands of years, with deep connections and a long history. But look at Fang Jun now, who are the people he associates with? The nobles of Gaochang Kingdom, the Prime Minister of Tubo...
Although Xie Chengjie despises the Fang family in his heart, a family that has been famous for a while, such a family lacks foundation, rises quickly, and falls even faster. Times have changed, and one wrong decision can cause them to fall into the world and disappear into the world. However, the upward momentum shown by the Fang family cannot help but make Xie Chengjie jealous.
Since you intend to make friends, you must show sincerity.
Xie Chengjie loves money, but he understands that human relationships are more important than money.
Immediately he patted his chest and said, "With Erlang's words, doesn't it mean he is looking down on Mr. Xie? Mr. Xie does not dare to compare with those glorious sages and sages, but he values friendship more than money. Since it is Erlang's business, no matter what kind of business it is, Mr. The goods only need to be transported to Jiangnan, and the Xie family will do their best to make them sell well in Jiangnan!"
Xie Chengjie's tone was generous and confident.
The fact is that with Xie's strength, as long as he exerts his strength, any product can be sold in Jiangnan, let alone rare things such as cashmere products, Gaochang grape wine, and Tubo highland barley wine?
Now that we have realized the profound strength of the Fang family, we must do our best to make friends with them to the end.
If you don’t pay, how can you get anything in return?
This was an excellent opportunity to make up for the relationship between the two parties, and Xie Chengjie decided to seize it. Compared with this, what is the profit of mere agents?
Fang Jun smiled half-heartedly and did not appreciate it: "Uncle Xie Shi must have misunderstood. These goods do not belong to a certain person. And the person who cooperates with the Xie family is not a certain person, but Dong Datang Company."
Xie Chengjie was in a daze.
Dong Datang Company?
Xie Chengjie has naturally heard of this name. As the top representative of the Jiangnan noble clan, he will always have some inextricable connections with the DPRK. It is not limited to the Xiao family, the leader of the Jiangnan noble clan, and he will also know some news.
It is said that this company is very mysterious and very powerful!
The name of this company is hosted by Fang Junzai, but behind it lies an unparalleled huge backstage! The family of Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Duke Zhao, the family of Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu, and the family of Li Ji, Duke of England... And the largest shareholder is His Majesty!
Fang Jun used the Dong Datang company to cooperate with the Xie family?
Xie Chengjie is not a fool. As the future successor of the Xie family, he has some business acumen and political insights. After just a moment of surprise, Xie Chengjie understood what Fang Jun meant.
His breathing suddenly became heavy!
Alliance with the royal family...doesn't it mean that the Xie family will become the first Jiangnan family to be valued by the emperor after the Xiao family? And at the same time, being involved with Zhao Guogong, Lu Guogong, British Duke, and the emperor...does it mean that the Xie family will truly enter the ranks of the Tang Dynasty from now on?
Xie Chengjie was a little short of breath, so excited that all the blood in his body flowed upward, and his face turned red!
How many years has it been since the Xie family has been close to the political center?
For nearly a hundred years, the Xie family has been firmly suppressed by the Xiao family. The Xie family, which used to be prosperous and splendid, could only follow the footsteps of the Xiao family, work conscientiously as a younger brother, and give away the maximum profits...
Xie Chengjie's eyes were red, he stared at Fang Jun closely, and said in a solemn voice: "Erlang, are you serious about this?"
As a descendant of the Xie family, what greater achievement could there be than growing the family?
Fang Jun raised his thick eyebrows and said vaguely: "Uncle Xie Shi must have heard of Dong Datang Company, so you should know that in this company, what someone said does not actually count..."
He has no say, because His Majesty Li Er is the real master of Dong Datang Company.
Naturally, His Majesty Li Er did not say that he would support the Xie family to weaken the Xiao family's outstanding status in Jiangnan... But Fang Jun was so vague that it misled people. It was not Fang Jun who put forward this opinion, but Your Majesty Li Er.
It's just that even if His Majesty Li Er found out afterwards that Fang Jun had "falsely conveyed the imperial edict", it wouldn't be a big deal. There was a loyal Xie family who came to weaken the Xiao family's control over the Jiangnan gentry, and the emperor was naturally happy to see it happen.
If the world is in chaos, the emperor will be so worried that he cannot sleep, fearing that he will become a faint and incompetent king who will subjugate his country.
But if the ministers were close and harmonious, the emperor would be suspicious.
These subordinates have such a good relationship, will one day we, the emperor, be deposed?
In short, the so-called emperor's way is actually the way of balance.
Our subordinates have to rely on themselves to fight against political opponents. Whoever is close to us will have the upper hand. This is the state that the emperor wants to see...
Of course Xie Chengjie thought that Fang Jun had received the emperor's order, and immediately stood up with a loud "ooh" and swore to the sky: "I would also like to ask Erlang to tell you that everyone in the Xie family is loyal and willing to do their best for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." , I am willing to devote all my energy to your majesty’s country, even if I die! If there is a single false word, I am willing to be struck by thunder, and humans and gods will be angry!"
This is the moment when you must express your stance without any ambiguity!
The Xie family has been separated from the center for hundreds of years and has been working hard to maintain it. Now that they have the opportunity to get close to the emperor and revive the family business, how can they not seize it?
If he allows this opportunity to slip away in his hands, Xie Chengjie will be a real fool and the eternal sinner of the Xie family!
Fang Jun touched his nose and felt a little guilty: "Uncle Xie Shi just knows what he knows. Don't spread it everywhere."
If the news reaches the ears of the emperor, and I use the emperor's banner to win over the Xie family to deal with the Xiao family, I'm afraid it will be very bad...
Xie Chengjie nodded like a chicken eating rice: "Xie is a three-year-old child, so he naturally knows the severity. Please rest assured, Erlang."
Since the emperor appointed Fang Jun to win over, it proves that the emperor does not want to fall out with Xiao Yu, and everything is done in secret, so naturally he cannot publicize it everywhere. If the emperor's plan is ruined and his important role is lost, he will get into trouble.
Seeing Xie Chengjie being so solemn, Fang Jun felt even more guilty...
Xie Chengjie looked at Fang Jun and felt that since he had entered the emperor's sight, he should show his worth.
Gritting his teeth, Xie Chengjie lowered his voice and said, "I have something I want to inform Erlang..."
