"Dr. Yang, what are you thinking about?" Li Shuheng put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Yang Jing sitting opposite.
Yang Jing remained silent, hesitating whether to agree to Tiger Flag's conditions.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to doing things by himself, but he still has a wife and children at home, so he has to consider his family.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "I want to choose to cooperate with Tiger Flag and become a shareholder of the store."
It wasn't that it was not good to get the goods from Hu Ziqi, but he thought that if Hu Ziqi opened shops in Qingcheng and several Bansheng places in the future, even if he had goods, he would only be able to sell them to distant tribes.
In this case, it is better to stay in Banshengdi and cooperate with Hu Ziqi. He does not have to risk leaving and can live with his family in the future.
Li Shuheng laughed.
Although the Yang Jing in front of him is not as good as the Zhao family and the Zhang, Wang, and Huang families, there are still many Han merchants who are not too strong and have been promoted to major companies. As long as these people can be brought together, It is also a considerable force.
More importantly, this Yang Jing is the first Mongolian and Han businessman willing to cooperate with their Tiger Banner, which can be considered a relatively good start.
Li Shuheng smiled and said, "As for the specific details of cooperation, I, Tiger Character Banner, will send someone over to discuss it in detail. I also ask Dongzhu Yang to let it go. Han merchants near Qingcheng and several Banshengdi can use what I say." If the two methods cooperate, we will all make a fortune together in the future.”
"This is easy." Yang Dingding nodded, and then said, "But there is something I must say."
Li Shuheng was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yang Jing's serious expression, he asked, "I don't know what it is."
Yang Jing said, "Before your company came to the grassland, some Han merchants in Banshengdi had already received a promise from Zhangjiakou Fan Ji. As long as they don't cooperate with you, Fan Ji is willing to sell the goods to them at a price that is 10% lower."
"It turns out that the Fan family is behind this." Li Shuheng suddenly realized.
No wonder he went to several Han merchants in Bansheng City to seek cooperation, but was rejected by them all. In the end, he had to come to Bansheng City to find some weak Han merchants to cooperate.
If it weren't for the reminder from Yang Jing in front of him, he wouldn't know what was going on. He would have thought that those Han merchants were unwilling to cooperate with their Tiger Flag.
Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Jing in confusion and said, "Why does Mr. Yang still cooperate with us if he knows the benefits of Fan Jiying coming down?"
Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Fan Ji won't pay attention to Han merchants like us who have little strength. Even if I don't cooperate with Tiger Character Banner, I won't get 10% of Fan Ji's benefits. To be honest, between you Before coming here, I and some merchants like me have been preparing to go to Baicheng in the past two days."
"How much more land can a Han businessman like Dongzhu Yang have?" Li Shuheng asked.
"There are many," Yang Jing said. "There are many horse bandits and wolves on the grassland. Usually several families join together to do business."
"Then thank you, Boss Yang, for a trip. As long as those Han merchants are willing to cooperate with our Tiger Flag, we will accept it." Li Shuheng said, "The conditions are still the same. You can join our shop and become a shareholder, or you can join our shop as a shareholder The price is taken from us.”
Yang Dingding nodded and said, "This is easy to talk about. I believe there are many Han businessmen like me who are willing to cooperate with Tiger Flag."
The big Han merchants may not care about the tiger-character flag, but for those Han merchants who are not strong, being able to cooperate with the tiger-character flag means they are much safer and can earn a lot of money.
When the matter was almost settled, Li Shuheng stood up and left, and Yang Jing personally escorted him out of the courtyard.
When he returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Yang stepped forward and asked, "What are the people from Tiger Character Banner doing to you?"
Yang Jing did not hide anything and said, "They are here to seek cooperation."
Then he repeated what he had said in the room.
"So you don't have to go to Baicheng anymore." Mrs. Yang looked happy.
Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "There's no need to go. I'll just wait until the shop in Tiger Flag opens. From now on, I will stay in Banshengdi and there is no need to separate from you."
"That's good." Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know how many horse bandits or wolves she would encounter along the way from Qingcheng to Baicheng. Although she never said anything, the worry in her heart did not diminish at all. But in order for her family to survive in Bansheng, she knew Her husband had to go to Baicheng.
Now that she heard that she didn't have to go to Baicheng, she could finally let go of her worries.
Yang Jiachen said disapprovingly, "This person from the Tiger Flag has some self-awareness. He knows that his family cannot afford it and needs to win over Han businessmen like his father to cooperate."
"What do you know?" Yang Jing glanced at his eldest son and said, "From now on, just follow me and learn slowly. In a few years, you will understand what is going on today."
Yang Jiachen blushed and said, "Father, didn't you say before that you wouldn't let me follow you?"
Yang Jing said, "It used to be because it was too dangerous to go to Baicheng, and your mother and brother had to be taken care of. Now I don't have to go to Baicheng, so I will stay in Banshengdi. You will learn how to do things with me earlier."
"I know." Yang Jiachen nodded reluctantly.
For him, he is not interested in becoming a Han merchant. He hopes to be like the armored knights around the Taiji nobles, who can gallop on the grassland with their horses and whips, and shoot the people in front of them with their bows and arrows. enemy.
Mrs. Yang said aside, "If you don't wait two years, Chen'er won't be too old. You don't have to risk going to Baicheng now. Nothing will happen if you stay here in Banshengdi. It won't be too late to take Chen'er with you in a few years." "
"Chen'er is not young anymore." Yang Jing said, "I learned to do business with his grandfather when I was thirteen years old. Now Chen'er is fifteen. In two years, he will be able to marry a wife and have children. If he hadn't gone to Baicheng before. It’s dangerous, I’ve long wanted to familiarize him with how to run a business.”
When Mrs. Yang saw that her husband had made up his mind, she couldn't persuade him anymore, so she said, "I'll listen to you. Let Chen'er follow you to get familiar with him first."
"Yeah." Yang Dingding nodded.
Within a month, two emperors died one after another, and Liaodong was defeated one after another. People in the capital were already panicking, thinking that this was God's punishment for the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Tianqi, who had just taken over the throne, did not wait for the national mourning to end. At the suggestion of a group of civil servants, he worshiped heaven and earth and prayed for God's forgiveness.
"Brother Jie'an, you have just come back from somewhere. Why don't you go to my house tonight to pick up the wind and wash away the dust for you."
A censor wearing the uniform of a seventh-grade civil servant came to Liu Bingyuan's signing room.
"Now is the time of national mourning and it is not appropriate to drink. Why not wait until the national mourning is over and I will personally set a table for you, Brother Youzhu." Liu Bingyuan said with a smile.
Wang Cheng, who is called Brother Youzhu, said, "I must go to Brother Jie'an's banquet, but the servants in my house have prepared a banquet. Brother Jie'an, you can't refuse."
Liu Bingyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay then, when the time comes, I will definitely go to Brother Youzhu's house to make trouble."
"Then I will welcome you, Brother Jie'an, in my mansion." Wang Cheng said with a smile.
As soon as Wang Cheng left, Liu Bingyuan raised his hand and stroked his beard, looking thoughtful.
He and Wang Cheng were not very close, and if the other party came to invite him to the mansion for a banquet, it was most likely because he had something to talk to him about. But he had just returned from Datong and couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to talk to him about.
