After achieving the purpose of coming to the Liang family, Tian Shenglan did not stay long and left the Liang family quickly.
"Master, do you really want to go against Tiger Character Flag? Tiger Character Flag is not an ordinary Shanxi merchant like the Fan family. He will eat people if he is provoked."
Liang You, who sent Tian Shenglan and others away, returned to Liang Jiabin.
Liang Binbin sighed and said, "Do you think I still have a choice?"
Deep down in his heart, he did not want to be an enemy of the Tiger Flag. After all, the Tiger Flag was not an ordinary business name. It had powerful force behind it. Even the border troops had been defeated by the soldiers of the Tiger Flag.
"Master, if you are worried, you can secretly send a message to the Tiger Flag. We will not offend either side." Liang You gave an idea.
Liang Jiabin shook his head slightly and said: "Even the Donglin Party has to deal with the Tiger Character Banner. The Tiger Character Banner will be destroyed sooner or later. If you contact the Tiger Character Banner at this time, there is no guarantee that it will not be liquidated by the Donglin Party in the future."
"That's what Tiger Character Banner deserves. They let them raise private soldiers and seize businesses everywhere. Even the business between our Liang family and the Mongols and Jin people had to be cut off." Liang You said standing aside. .
Liang Binbin took a sip of tea and said: "Hu Ziqi has become more arrogant in his work in recent years. It was only a matter of time before he was targeted. But I didn't expect it to come so soon. However, this is an opportunity for the Liang family. Only Hu Ziqi will be targeted." When the flag falls, the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce will be my turn."
He has always coveted the position of president of the Xuanfu Chamber of Commerce and has never given up. Only because of the strong momentum of the Tiger Flag, he had to be willing to be just a director of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Sir, you said that the Tian family is really so kind. They are willing to give up their job as president of the chamber of commerce, but are willing to give it to you, sir. Is there any deceit on their part?" Liang You said worriedly.
Although he is just a servant, he also understands the importance of the president of the Xuanfu Chamber of Commerce.
As long as he takes the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, he is equivalent to indirectly controlling the business community of Xuanfu. With such an important position, he has doubts about whether the Tian family will really give up the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce.
After hearing this, Liang Jiabin nodded slightly and said: "What you said makes sense, but I can't completely trust the Tian family. In this case, you go to the Wang family in person, find the proprietor Wang, and tell him that I will entertain him at home tonight." .”
"Young man, go right now." Liang You hunched over and retreated from the room.
The Wang family is also a powerful business family in Xuanfu. Wang Dayu, the head of the Wang family of this generation, has good relations with the Liang family, and the two families are even married.
At a corner on the street in front of Liang's house, a carriage was parked.
A servant in shorts stood by the window of the carriage and whispered: "Master, You Liang has come out from the Liang family."
"Follow us and see who he is going to see." Tian Shenglan's voice came to mind in the carriage.
The servant turned and left.
In the carriage.
Butler Tian said: "Sir, you really got it right. Boss Liang really sent someone out."
"As long as Mr. Liang still sits firmly on Diaoyutai at this time, I have to worry about whether he is really willing to cooperate." Tian Shenglan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly.
Butler Tian said: "Master, aren't you worried that he sent You Liang out to inform the Tiger Character Banner?"
"That's why we sent people to keep an eye on Liang You to see who he was going to see." Tian Shenglan turned the ring on his thumb.
This ring was stolen from the Fan family by a servant of the Fan family after Fan Yongdou's death and sold to a pawnshop. It happened that this pawnshop was the property of the Tian family.
When he saw this ring, he immediately recognized it as Fan Yongdou's favorite jade ring during his lifetime.
And he heard that Fan Yongdou bought this ring from a slave thief, using only a bucket of grain.
Sitting in the carriage, he even thought that if the Tian family banned the Tiger Flag in the Xuan Mansion in the future, he would definitely cooperate with the slave thieves and exchange the food and iron that the slave thieves lack for the gold, silver and jade in the hands of the slave thieves.
In his eyes, Hu Ziqi was so stupid that he stopped doing business with the slave thieves because of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the slave thieves, and gave up a good opportunity to earn a large amount of gold and silver.
They are merchants. The war between the Ming Dynasty and the slave thieves has nothing to do with merchants. Merchants are born to pursue profits. As for how many Han people died in Liaodong, that is a matter for the Ming court and the emperor, and has nothing to do with merchants.
Butler Tian asked respectfully: "Master, Xiao Liuzi has secretly followed You Liang. Are we still waiting here?"
"No wait, go back!" Tian Shenglan confessed.
Butler Tian said to the driver this time: "Go back to Tian's house."
After receiving the order, the driver pulled the animal's cage and led the animal forward.
The relationship between the Wang and Liang families among Shanxi merchants has always been very close.
Wang Dayu learned that Liang Jiabin wanted to see him for something, so he took his entourage all the way to Liang's house in a carriage.
Liang You returned to Liang Mansion with Wang Dayu's carriage.
With him leading the way, the servants in the Liang Mansion naturally would not stop him. Wang Dayu arrived at the reception hall of the Liang Mansion smoothly.
"Sir, Boss Wang is here." When he came to the hall, Liang You took the lead and said to Liang Binjia.
Wang Dayu quickly walked up to Liang Jiabin and said, "Brother Liang, is it possible that someone brought me here so late? Is there something important?"
By now it was starting to get dark outside.
During the journey from Wang's house to Liang's house, Liang You kept his mouth tight and said nothing. Wang Dayu came to Liang's house confused.
"Sit down first, the two of us will eat here." Liang Jiabin pointed to the seat next to him, and immediately said to Liang You next to him, "Let me know, the food can be served."
"Yes." Liang You agreed, hunched over and stepped back.
Wang Dayu had a rather impatient temper. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but said: "What on earth is going on? I asked You Liang on the way here, but he didn't say anything."
"There's no rush. Let's talk while eating later." Liang Binbin said slowly.
It didn't take long before plates of dishes were brought to the table by the maids of Liang Mansion.
Liang Jiabin and Wang Dayu each had a wine glass placed in front of them, which was filled with wine. There was a maid behind each of them, holding a wine flask in their hands, ready to refill their glasses at any time.
"Come, let us two have a drink." Liang Binbin raised his glass.
Wang Dayu had no choice but to raise the wine glass in front of him and clink it with the wine glass in Liang Jiabin's hand.
After a glass of wine, Liang Binbin took a bite of the food. After swallowing it, he said, "Brother, I'm going to compete for the position of president of the Xuanfu Chamber of Commerce."
Snapped!
A chopstick in Wang Dayu's hand fell onto the dishes.
"You're crazy. With Tiger Flag around, the president of the Chamber of Commerce can only be appointed by Tiger Flag." Wang Dayu said with a frown.
If the two of them hadn't just had a glass of wine, he would have even thought that Liang Jiabin had drunk too much and was talking drunkenly.
Liang Binbin picked up a peanut on the plate with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.
