Chapter 811 Salt Works Bidding (Part 2)
Leaning slightly, a side door on the inside of the big house opened, and a group of people filed out of the door.
The big house suddenly became quiet.
Gu Yu saw that the leader was dressed in purple robes and had a slightly dark face, but he was walking vigorously and with the strides of a dragon and a tiger, and his heart subconsciously tightened slightly...
Even though he appeared to be relaxed and gentlemanly in front of others, in fact he was very nervous and extremely afraid of Fang Jun. This so-called salt farm created by Fang Jun will have a huge impact on all salt-making families. The Gu family's salt-making business has always been one of the pillars of the family. How could Gu Yu not be nervous?
Gu Zhu, who was next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly when Fang Jun appeared, the light in his eyes flickered, and he snorted imperceptibly...
He was extremely unconvinced by Fang Jun, who was now powerful in Jiangnan.
The battle of Niuzhuji, which is praised by everyone in the world, seems to have no tactical strategy at all in the eyes of Gu Zhu, who is extremely skilled in martial arts. If it weren't for Fang Jun's hidden armor and cavalry equipment, which he didn't know when, exerted great power. , this person is already a withered bone in the grave!
Armored cavalry is naturally the nemesis of infantry, so what's the point of showing off by using this to win? Gu Zhu firmly believed that even if he changed places at that time, he could achieve the fruitful results of Fang Jun!
And he was able to take charge of the military at a young age and became the youngest general manager in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In Gu Zhu's view, he relied on the power of his father's generation and the favor of the emperor to occupy a high position.
He's just a dandy with extremely good luck, what's there to brag about?
It is said that this man is brave, but in Gu Zhu's eyes, he is just an incompetent person who wants to sell his head. If he really fights with his life with a real sword and a real gun, he believes that he can definitely chop off Fang Jun's head.
Although Gu Zhu was only obsessed with martial arts, he was not deaf to clan affairs. For a period of time, Fang Jun's salt farm has made everyone in the clan mourn and panic. How could Gu Zhu not know this? Gu Zhu himself had no interest in wealth at all, but he knew that his family needed a huge amount of money to complete their great cause, and Fang Jun's existence cast a shadow on the Gu family's future.
This person poses a great threat to the Gu family. His presence is a huge stumbling block. If this person can be eliminated, wouldn't it be possible for the clouds to clear up and the world to be at peace...
Fang Jun strolled to the table in front of the stage and sat down. Pei Xingjian and others behind him also sat down on the left and right.
Fang Jun looked around the room, nodded with a smile and said: "Before coming here, I was worried. I have sent out a lot of invitations, but I am really not sure who can come to me. If only a few people come, wouldn’t it be a huge loss of face and I won’t be able to see anyone in the future? Fortunately, you are so proud of me. Seeing that there are so many talented people in Jiangdong, I am finally relieved..."
"Haha"
The nobles and merchants in the venue burst into laughter.
Only a very small number of people have met Fang Jun before. Most people have only heard of Fang Jun but never seen him in person. And Fang Jun killed corpses all over the field and blood flowed into rivers in the first battle at Niuzhuji. When he arrived in Jiangdong, he tricked several big nobles one after another. It is natural to imagine that this reputation is not a kind person...
But looking at it now, this person is humorous and does not overpower others. He seems to be easy to get along with.
"Okay, we are all rich and powerful in Jiangdong, with tens of thousands of dollars every hour. I won't waste your time. Let's get back to the business."
Fang Jun raised his hand, stopped the discussion in the venue, and said seriously: "This meeting is not only the prospectus meeting of the salt farm, but also the briefing meeting that the Shipping Department will hold. However, things have to take precedence. Let's first decide on the prospectus of the salt farm. ”
With that said, he raised his hand to Pei Xingjian, indicating that he would take charge.
Pei Xingjian naturally did not have stage fright. On the contrary, he was still vaguely excited. Just thinking about being able to control and control so many Jiangnan wealthy families who have been involved in generations, not to mention the sense of accomplishment...
He looked solemnly, looked at everyone in the room, and said: "I am fortunate to have the trust of the general manager. I am a long-time historian in Huating Town. My surname is Pei, my first name is Xingjian, and my last name is Shouyue. I am a person from Jiangzhou Wenxi. I was born in the Pei family in Hedong." "Zhongjuanfang."
After briefly introducing himself, Pei Xingjian continued: "This time, a total of 15 salt fields have been opened in Huating Town. Except for five of them, which are private properties of the Royal Navy, the remaining ten will be open to the public. Each one The salt farm is divided into 100 shares, with a maximum limit of 30 shares per share, and the lowest price per share is 10,000 guan. Interested parties can bid by themselves and fill in their own price on the paper. The one with the highest price will win.”
< br>
There was a sudden cry in the stadium.
Again, you bid on your own, and the highest bidder wins!
This move is really damaging...
Now Fang Jun's bidding trick has been widely circulated, and the not-so-deep mystery behind it is naturally known to everyone. If the price is too low, you will naturally not get the shares; but if the price is too high, you will often get taken advantage of. In short, as long as you want to get the shares of the salt farm, you must give an amount far higher than the actual price.
However, this low price is considered conscientious and not outrageously high.
At 10,000 guan per share, the total price of each salt farm is at least 1 million guan. For a salt farm with an annual salt production of no less than 100,000 dendrobium, it is indeed not expensive. It should be noted that if this salt farm really does not require firewood for cooking as Fang Jun said, then it will be an inexhaustible long-term business, and future generations will not be able to use it!
Of course, it is definitely impossible to buy shares at a low price...
Soon, the officials of Huating Town were holding "bidding documents" and distributed them to everyone, waiting for them to fill in the amount before collecting them.
Everyone looked left and right, hesitant.
Gu Yu sighed in his heart. Fang Jun had tried this bidding method many times, but every time it produced good results, he had to accept it.
He was sitting in the first row, not far away from Fang Jun. At this time, he asked loudly: "I dare to ask the chief manager, what if the output of the salt farm is less than the one hundred thousand dendrobium you mentioned?"
There was a sudden silence in the venue.
Fang Jun looked at Gu Yu with a smile on his face and said, "Has this brother seen the invitations I sent to each family?"
Gu Yu also had a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Of course I saw it."
Fang Jun nodded: "On the invitation, I have already stated that if it is less than one hundred thousand dendrobium, I will fill it up according to the shortfall. Even if I cannot make up for the salt, I will make up the money. Have you ever seen this sentence? Words?”
Gu Yu's words were respectful, but his expression was neither humble nor arrogant: "Of course I have seen this sentence before, but I still have questions, and I am talking without any proof. How can I believe the words of the chief manager? You are the chief manager, and Huating Town is your fiefdom. , we have spent a huge amount of money, and if you break your promise then, we will have nothing to do except lose it in vain. This is unfair.”
As soon as these words came out, needles could be heard in the originally silent venue.
Many people applauded in their hearts. Of course, he was the eldest son of the Gu family. He spoke upright and had no fear of Fang Jun's official authority. He was worthy of being the first of the "Four Young Masters in the South of the Yangtze River"!
The reason why everyone is hesitant is because they are worried about this.
If Fang Jun cheats, who can do anything to him?
But reason is reason, in the face of Fang Jun's reputation that is so powerful in Jiangnan, no one dares to question it!
This is equivalent to a naked slap in the face, openly questioning Fang Jun's character and prestige. Who dares not to consider the consequences?
Pei Xingjian and other officials were furious and were ready to reprimand him.
Fang Jun raised his hand slightly to stop the official beside him, looked at Gu Yu, and said calmly: "Get out!"
Gu Yu was stunned.
He thought he was hallucinating and asked me to get out?
I am the eldest son and grandson of the Gu family and the future head of the Gu family!
Do you dare to let me out?
Do you have no fear of the Gu family's influence and want to humiliate the Gu family like this?
Gu Zhu stood up suddenly, stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say?"
How could Fang Jun be afraid of him? Repeat lightly: "Get out!"
The Gu brothers' faces turned red for a moment!
Get out!
What a shameful word this is?
He had already peeled off a layer of the Gu family's face, threw it to the ground, and stepped on it a few times!
There was an uproar in the venue...
Did Fang Jun take the wrong medicine? Gu Yu just questioned, are you going to humiliate others like this? Yes, Gu Yu's doubts slapped you in the face, but it doesn't mean you have to fight to the death with the Gu family, right? (End of chapter)
