Butler Fan sat in front of the charcoal brazier and put his hand on it to warm himself up.
Liang You and Wang Xuewu were also in the room, sitting side by side.
In front of the two people, there was a teapot with steam coming out of the spout.
"We have almost sold the goods in Bansheng City, but the Chamber of Commerce has not delivered the goods yet. If this continues, we will have nothing to sell." Liang You said to Butler Fan who was warming up by the fire.
Wang Xuewu held a tea cup in his hand and said, "I heard from Wo Lunkuo's people that a convoy went to the warehouse of Tiger Flag in Qingcheng not long ago."
"Why do they want to take the goods back to Datong?" Butler Fan turned around and looked over.
Wang Xuewu shook his head and said, "They are not empty trucks, they are large trucks loaded with goods, delivering goods to their warehouse."
"That's weird." Liang You frowned and said, "They no longer sell goods to herdsmen, but buy goods from us. Counting their previous stocks in various shops, there should be There's a lot of rain, so there's no need to send a convoy from Datong to deliver the goods. Maybe they are planning to sell things to the herdsmen again."
Wang Xuewu said, "I haven't heard that Tiger Flag sells goods. Instead, they keep collecting goods sold here, leaving us with not much left."
"It's all the fault of those damn Han merchants in Bansheng City." Liang You said, "If they hadn't sold the goods to Tiger Flag, how could we have sold them so fast, and we didn't even have time to replenish them."
"Be careful," Butler Fan frowned and said, "These Han merchants in Bansheng City have been cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce. If it weren't for their support, our suppression of the Tiger Flag on the grassland would not have been so smooth."
Liang You said, "That being said, we have almost sold out all the goods here. If President Fan doesn't send the goods over, there will be nothing left to sell in a few days. Don't talk about suppressing the Tiger Flag by then." , I’m afraid those Han merchants in Bansheng City will be dissatisfied with our Fan Family Chamber of Commerce. Read in eighty-eight, o"
"It stands to reason that the convoy should have arrived a few days ago. Several days have passed, but we haven't even seen the convoy." Wang Xuewu said doubtfully.
Butler Fan thought for a while and said, "The shipment has been reduced by half in the past few days. Until the goods are delivered from Zhangjiakou, Liangyou, please make it clear to the proprietors of several Han merchants in Bansheng City that our goods On the way here, it will be delivered to Bansheng City in a few days."
Liang You frowned and said, "It's okay to arrive half a day late. I'm afraid that President Fan will never send a convoy. I think it's better to send someone back to report to President Fan."
"No need." Butler Fan waved his hand and said, "We have already sent back the news on the grassland before. I believe that my master and several proprietors of the Chamber of Commerce will have their own sense of discretion after seeing the letter. Let's wait patiently for a few more days. , maybe the delivery convoy is on the way."
"Then listen to Butler Fan and let's wait." Liang You agreed.
Xuanfu Fanji Chamber of Commerce.
Fan Yongdou said with a smile on his face, "I have invited you here because I have some good news to tell you."
Huang Yunfa looked at Fan Yongdou with a puzzled expression.
On the contrary, Liang Jiabin and Wang Dayu looked calm and showed no signs of curiosity.
Fan Yongdou knew that these two people should have received the letter from the grassland like him, but he still said, "The steward I sent to the grassland sent back the news that the Tiger Flag began to buy a large amount of goods sold by our chamber of commerce on the grassland."
"This is a good thing." Huang Yunfa's face lit up.
Fan Yongdou smiled and said, "It is indeed a good thing. In this way, the Tiger Flag has fallen into our trap. I believe that with the strength of our family, the Tiger Flag can't beat us no matter how much money it has. It can be said that the grassland Sooner or later, the business roads we have entered will fall into our hands."
"Such a good thing should be celebrated properly." Liang Jiabin suddenly said.
"That's right." Wang Dayu said, "Why don't we go to Zuixian Tower to book a banquet and invite everyone from the Chamber of Commerce to celebrate together."
"There's no rush." Fan Yongdou waved his hand and said, "When we take over the commercial road on the grassland, it won't be too late to celebrate."
Wang Dayu nodded and said, "Then listen to President Fan. When we win the business road on the grassland, we must celebrate it well."
Fan Yongdou picked up the tureen, took a sip of tea, and said, "In addition to telling you the good news, I have brought you here this time. I also have something to discuss with you."
"Dongzhu Fan, please speak." Huang Yunfa looked at Fan Yongdou.
Fan Yongdou said, "The Tiger Flag has bought a large amount of the goods we sell to the grassland, which will cause a shortage of goods we send to the grassland. I hope that several proprietors can work together with Fan to mobilize more goods and send a fleet of vehicles." Send it to Bansheng City."
"In this case, I'm afraid I'll have to lose a lot of money." Huang Yunfa frowned.
Fan Yongdou explained, "This is done so that the Tiger Flag will spend more money on it, so that the Tiger Flag will be driven out of the grassland earlier, and we can make money earlier by taking advantage of the business routes on the grassland."
Huang Yunfa didn't answer.
In the past month, several convoys from the Fan Family Chamber of Commerce have been sent to the grassland, all selling goods to Beilu at a loss. Now each family has to lose more than a thousand taels of silver.
Fortunately, the money was shared equally among several families. If one family contributed this money, at least tens of thousands of taels, it would be heartbreaking for any family.
Don't look at the fact that some of their families have at least hundreds of thousands taels or hundreds of thousands taels of property, but many of them are real estate, fields and shops, and their real living money is only one or two thousand taels. Even the Fan family may not be able to All at once he took out one hundred thousand taels of cash.
"Where are you two?" Fan Yongdou looked at Liang Jiabin and Wang Dayu.
Liang Jiabin hesitated for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, I should support President Fan's decision, but our Liang family is not as big as President Fan's Fan family. I, the Liang family, don't have much money to go through such a loss." deficit."
"Dr. Liang is right, and our Wang family is not as good as the Liang family." Wang Dayu agreed.
short-sightedness
Fan Yongdou cursed in his heart.
This was the critical moment in the fight with the Tiger Flag. They had great hopes of winning, but they didn't expect that the Liang family and the Wang family actually backed down.
If the Liang and Wang families retreat, other families in the chamber of commerce will naturally retreat as well, and then only the Fan family and the Tiger Flag will be left fighting for money.
It’s not that the Fan family can’t afford the money, but he doesn’t want his family to give out all the money, and then let other families take advantage of it. Since the Fanji Chamber of Commerce does not belong to the Fan family, then this money cannot be used by the Fan family. One family.
Liang Jiabin and Wang Dayu drank tea with their heads lowered, pretending not to see Fan Yongdou's livid face.
Fan Yongdou took a breath and said, "Do you two know how much money you can make from the grassland in a year by following the method of opening up trade routes like the Tiger Character Flag?"
"How much?" Huang Yunfa asked.
Fan Yongdou's eyes fell on Liang Jiabin and Wang Dayu, and he said word by word, "My accountant has calculated that as long as the Tiger Character Banner takes over the business roads on the grassland, it will be at least more than 500,000 taels in revenue every year."
As his words fell, the beards of several people in the room became visibly twitchy. 11
