Now that he knew Lin Zhengying's intention, Duan Wenjun was no longer anxious.
He looked at Lin Zhengying and shook his head and said, "Uncle Lin, since my fat daddy has been sold, it is the Lin family's property. If he buys it back at a low price now, it doesn't make sense."
"Besides, Uncle Lin, as you've seen, our Duan family's stall is quite big, and I'm worried that the money left by fat daddy won't be enough..."
Hearing this, Lin Zhengying's face became extremely embarrassed.
If he hadn't spent all the Lin family's cash on secretly acquiring the Duan family's property at a low price just for the sake of gain, he wouldn't be so passive now.
But whether it's a house, a shop, or a field, it doesn't mean that it can be sold immediately.
This made him even more helpless.
"Father, Wenjun is a member of our family, so stop beating around the bush like this." Lin Jinglei on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore. He turned to look at Duan Wenjun, "Wenjun, to tell you the truth, our family is in urgent need of a batch of cash. My father wants to return all the things that belonged to the Duan family before, but I don’t know if you are still willing to take them. If you are willing to take them, you can get them back as much as you wanted from the Duan family."
Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lin Zhengying doubtfully.
Lin Zhengying originally thought about dawdling with Duan Wenjun to see if he could gain some benefits, but unexpectedly, Lin Jinglei directly told the truth.
At this moment, he had no choice but to nod.
Duan Wenjun was shocked when he heard this.
At that time, Duan Daxiong raised tens of thousands of taels of silver in order to save his son.
Most of the money came from the sale of Wangjiang's properties and shops.
At this moment, Lin Zhengying wanted to sell these things back to himself, which meant that they now had a gap of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
"Uncle Lin, let me ask one more question, why do you need so much money all of a sudden?" Duan Wenjun frowned slightly, stared at him and spoke again.
Lin Zhengying frowned slightly and was thinking about what to answer. Lin Jinglei next to him spoke again, "My uncle, the King of Hubu, has sent news that the court may need more cloth this year. Let's hurry up and get more cloth." Prepare some ingredients.”
When Lin Zhengying heard this, he couldn't help but glared at Lin Jinglei, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have brought Lin Jinglei here today.
The news coming from Wang Quanzheng is the inside information of the imperial court.
Wang Quan was asking them to prepare more raw materials so that they could prepare them earlier.
If the news spreads, the price of raw materials will definitely rise by then, and their profit margins will not be so large.
Among the royal merchants in Suibu, apart from the Lin family in Wangjiang, the Zhou family in the north, and the Dai family in the capital, they were the only ones.
Moreover, the Dai family was the largest imperial merchant and held the largest share.
Maybe, once there is a shortage of raw materials, if one of the three companies does not have enough stock, the other companies may take the share.
Wang Quanzheng asked him to prepare for a rainy day, not to mention how much he would compete with the Dai family and the Zhou family, but at least prepare in advance so that the other two families would not eat up their share.
If they can be more prepared, even if they can't compete with the Dai family in the capital, it would be great to find a way to annex some of the Zhou family's shares.
Seeing Duan Wenjun's surprised expression, Lin Zhengying felt a little proud.
These days, Duan Wenjun is really in the limelight. Whether it is the Duan family wine shop or the soap business, he is very jealous.
Although doing business with Duan Wenjun now, everything is very straightforward and does not require as much calculation as it did with Duan Daxiong before.
But he no longer knew why. He always felt that he might be oppressed by the Duan family in the future.
This time he finally had some inside information. He wanted to make more money from the business of his old business, Suibu, to give the Lin family a good reputation.
Maybe, this time, the Lin family can turn around.
After all, Duan Wenjun definitely does not have this news from the capital for the time being.
However, at this moment, Lin Jinglei had already said what he said, and Lin Zhengying could no longer hide it. He could only look at Duan Wenjun, "Nephew Wenjun, this news was brought back by Quan Zheng at great risk. If anyone knows..."
"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." Duan Wenjun nodded. "I just don't know where Mr. Wang got this news? Is there definite information or is it just speculation?" ?”
"This is the result of what Quan Zheng heard from several adults' discussion." Lin Zhengying's face was filled with a faint smile. "Although it is not the exact news, it is definitely close. That's why I am in urgent need of cash." Buy the raw materials. As long as the above is confirmed, the news should spread to the south in a month at most."
He originally thought that Duan Wenjun would be very envious, but he never expected that Duan Wenjun was surprised and frowned, "Uncle Lin, I think we need to be cautious about this matter!"
"Careful?" Lin Zhengying was stunned when he heard this.
Duan Wenjun nodded, "Personally, I feel that Suibu's business will not be very clear this year."
"Unclear?" Lin Jinglei frowned, "Wenjun, what do you mean? Do you think my uncle will lie to us?"
Duan Wenjun shook his head, "That's not true. That's why I just asked Mr. Wang whether this news is definite news or just a guess."
Lin Zhengying and Lin Jinglei looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly became extremely solemn.
Duan Wenjun's words echoed again, "I believe that the adults Mr. Wang mentioned guess that the demand for cloth will be greater this year because of the war in the north!"
Seeing Lin Zhengying nodded, Duan Wenjun continued, "Some time ago, before we held the whole pig feast, the second son of Prince Rui stayed here for a few days. We also talked about a lot of things, including Through the war in the north.”
"Now, the war between Yan State and Mo State has entered a stalemate. It is not very clear who will win and who will lose." Duan Wenjun continued to explain, "I know what you adults are thinking. No matter what the final result is, the two sides will win." Fang will definitely vent his anger on us in Dashun."
"The king of the Mo Kingdom once asked the emperor to send troops to hunt under the capital of the Yan Kingdom, but the emperor refused. If the Mo Kingdom loses, they will definitely be angry with our country, and maybe there will be no peace on the border; if the Mo Kingdom wins, there will definitely be no peace. He will be arrogant and point his sword at Dashun. No matter which one it is, with Dashun's national power, I am afraid they will choose to pay the annual tribute to appease the anger of the Mo Kingdom."
"The same is true when we look at the Yan State. If the Yan State loses and is destroyed by the Mo State, then that's okay. What if the Yan State can protect itself or defeat the Mo State? What will happen of course? Looking for bad luck in our Dashun, saying that we are desperate to save him. The Yan State may not have the ability to invade the South for the time being, but it is inevitable to ask for an increase in the annual payment."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhengying and said, "Uncle Lin, did I say something wrong?"
Lin Zhengying's expression changed drastically.
What Duan Wenjun said was exactly what Wang Quanzheng said in his heart, the result of the discussions between those adults...
