"Close the door. You stay outside and don't let anyone get close. Reading in 88, 23o." Fan Yongdou waved his hand to Butler Fan on the side.
Butler Fan walked outside the house, grabbed a door with both hands, pulled it out, and closed it.
As the door closed, the light in the room suddenly became much darker.
Huang Yunfa and others became more and more curious.
What on earth was the idea? He actually had to hide it behind his back to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Fan Yongdou said, "You guys are really no longer waiting for news from the capital, and are ready to compete with the tiger-character flag on the grassland."
"President Fan, please tell me what your idea is." Wang Dayu was impatient and couldn't help but urge.
"Well, since you guys want to know so much, I'll tell you now." Fan Yongdou said, "Although our Fanji Chamber of Commerce can't open a shop on the grassland, the financial resources of us are far more than what we have just risen. Two years of tiger flag”
Liang Jiabin, who reacted the fastest, suddenly said, "Dragon Fan means to squeeze the Tiger Flag out of the grassland by lowering the price."
Fan Yongdou smiled and nodded.
Several other proprietors in the room frowned.
This method is possible, but no one knows how long this method will take. If it takes too long, they will also be injured. After all, the purpose of doing business with Beilu is to make money, not to give money to Beilu. .
"There is no other way" Huang Yunfa asked.
Fan Yongdou put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Besides this method, if you have any good methods, please tell me. If it is suitable, you can also use your method to deal with the Tiger Flag."
"We can ask the horse bandits to take action." Wang Dayu said. Eighty-eight reading, o
Fan Yongdou sneered and said, "Have you not tried this method before? I don't need to tell you what the result will be."
Wang Dayu's face turned red.
When the horse bandits they sent to intercept and kill the tiger-character flag convoy, less than twenty of them escaped alive. Since then, the horse bandits on the grassland have stopped taking business on the tiger-character flag convoy.
"Guys, if you are not willing to wait for the imperial court to take action against the Tiger Flag, then the method I mentioned is the most feasible." Fan Yongdou said calmly.
Huang Yunfa said, "If we lower the price, what if the Han merchants in Bansheng City are unwilling?"
"I have already thought about this." Fan Yongdou said, "As long as we keep the price low enough and leave profits for those Han merchants, they will naturally be on our side, and the tiger-character flag's goods on the grassland will The more they sell, the less money those Han merchants will make."
Liang Binbin suddenly said, "It seems that Fan Dongzhu has already thought carefully about how to deal with the Tiger Flag."
Several other people in the room reacted at the same time.
Originally, they came to Fan Yongdou to talk about Tian Shenglan and others. Unknowingly, they were led by Fan Yongdou to think about how to deal with the Tiger Flag.
Fan Yongdou looked at Mr. Liang and said, "If Mr. Liang doesn't like the method I proposed, Mr. Liang can come up with an alternative method. I have to give it a good one. Of course I, Fan, will fully support it."
Liang Jiajia's tone choked.
He really didn't have any better ideas on how to deal with Tiger Flag.
The Liang family did not have many official connections in Datong, and Datong was the territory of the Tiger Banner. From the governor general to the garrison commander, everyone was bribed by the Tiger Banner and wanted to use the official power of Datong. It is impossible to deal with the Tiger Flag.
Unless the governor of Datong changed, and this governor wanted to kill the Tiger Flag, the only way was to rely on the court to discover Tiger Flag's various treasonous behaviors and charge him with treason.
If he wanted to use Hongshang's methods to deal with Tiger Flag, he admitted that Fan Yongdou's method was the best one he could come up with.
"Guys, what are your thoughts?" Fan Yongdou picked up the tureen and took a sip of tea.
"How about we wait for the news from the capital?" Huang Yunfa said hesitantly, looking at the other people.
Wang Dayu and Liang Jiajia both looked thoughtful.
After a while, Liang Jiajin raised his head and said, "Selling goods to Beilu at a low price cannot just be done by a few of us. There are other Shanxi merchants who have joined the Fanji Chamber of Commerce, and they have to bear this loss together."
"This is natural." Fan Yongdou said, "As long as you are a member of the Fanji Chamber of Commerce, whether you are a director or an ordinary shareholder, you will naturally share the money you make, and you will also bear it when you lose money. What's more, we are not losing money now, but just lowering the price. We will squeeze the Tiger Flag out of the grassland by using this method, and we can raise the price in the future, and we will earn more money by then."
"Then I have no objection." Liang Jiabin looked at Huang Yunfa and Wang Dayu and said, "What do you think?"
Huang Yunfa hesitated and said, "There is no other way."
He felt heartbroken when he thought that he would lose a lot of money by lowering the price.
Fan Yongdou smiled and said, "If Huang Dongzhu has a better way, it will be better."
"Okay, I agree." Huang Yunfa agreed helplessly.
Wang Dayu on the other side said, "As long as the Tiger Flag can be defeated, I have no problem with it."
The most powerful proprietors in the chamber of commerce in front of them all agreed. Fan Yongdou said with a smile, "Since everyone has no objections, starting from the next convoy sent to the grassland, our goods will be sold directly to Bansheng City at cost price." of Han merchants.”
"Isn't it a little too low?" Huang Yunfa frowned and said, "I think it only needs to be 10% lower than the price of the Tiger Flag."
Fan Yongdou shook his head and said, "Since we want to squeeze the Tiger Flag out of the grassland, we should not leave any room and squeeze them out of the grassland as quickly as possible, so that our losses will be minimized."
None of the remaining people objected, and Huang Yunfa had no choice but to agree.
Lingqiu Xujiazhuang.
A horse stopped in front of the Xu family house in Xujiazhuang.
"Master, we've arrived." The driver turned around and said to the people in the carriage.
After a short time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and two richly dressed middle-aged men stepped out of the carriage.
"Mr. Tian, it's not too late to regret now." The middle-aged man beside Tian Shenglan said.
"We are all here, there is no way out." Tian Shenglan shook his head with a wry smile.
The last time he left Xujiazhuang, he thought he would never come back. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, he would be back here again.
There was a big difference between coming back this time and the last time he left. At that time, he thought he had a solution to the dilemma, but he didn't expect that his solution would succeed Fan Yongdou.
He was the first to propose the establishment of a chamber of commerce, but it was not implemented. Instead, Fan Yongdou, a latecomer, successfully established the Fanji Chamber of Commerce, and used the power of the chamber of commerce to suppress his Tian family's business.
Now that the Tian family is in a difficult situation in Xuanfu, they can only work with Chen Liyun to seek the Tiger Flag again. 11
