Chapter 816 Willing to pay [asking for monthly ticket]
In the Gu family's residence on Fuya Street in Suzhou, Gu Zhuzheng kicked a maid out of the main room because she failed to control the temperature of the tea. He ordered the servants around him with a cold face: "Pull out and kill her with a cane!"
The two servants did not dare to disobey and dragged the maid, who was crying and begging for mercy, towards the backyard. The Gu family has strict rules and regulations. There is a house specifically for dealing with erring slaves. Almost all the slaves who are pulled in are taken out after they have expired, wrapped in a reed mat, and thrown into a mass grave outside the city...< br>
In the hall, Gu Cong and Gu Yu were kneeling opposite each other with expressionless faces. They were used to this kind of thing. Servants and maidservants are the private property of the family. The owner of the family can kill them at will. In the worst case, the family will be compensated with some money.
After killing a young girl with a cane, Gu Zhu's anger still hadn't been vented. He knelt down on the floor angrily, with a ferocious face, gnashing his teeth, and said in a hateful voice: "Fang Jun bullied people too much! The humiliation he suffered today will definitely be ten times worse in the future. If you violate this oath, there will be such a case!”
With a slap, the solid pear wood coffee table immediately fell into pieces. The cups on the coffee table rolled to the ground and broke into pieces.
Gu Cong said helplessly: "Sanlang, you should restrain your temper. It's understandable that young people are popular. It's okay for you to flip the table in front of me, but it's very inappropriate to flip the table in front of Fang Jun."< br>
Fang Jun was indeed a little domineering, but if Gu Yu had softened at that time, there might not have been a chance for him to relax. But when Gu Zhu kicked the table over, he was openly falling out with Fang Jun. According to that person's character who didn't take human life seriously, if Gu Zhu dared to act recklessly again, he would really be "killed without mercy"...
It is said that those who are stunned are afraid of death, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. That Fang Jun is both scared and stunned. Are you, Gu Zhu, planning to risk your life?
Gu Zhu was already angry, but after hearing Gu Cong's taunts, he glared angrily: "So what about Fang Jun? Second uncle, don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. Sooner or later, you will suffer the humiliation you suffered today." Please wait and see if you can get it back with profit!”
Gu Cong was also annoyed and glared: "Why, you still want to beat me up? Come on, come on, let me see how majestic Gu Jiasanlang is, a bastard who doesn't even know the seniority of his youth..." < br>
He has long had enough of this irascible and reckless nephew!
After all, I am also your uncle. What is your attitude towards me?
This is simply unreasonable!
Gu Zhu wanted to say more, but Gu Yu stopped him.
"Sanlang, apologize to my second uncle."
"Why?" Gu Zhu stared.
"I want you to apologize!" Gu Yu said sharply.
"You..." Gu Zhu's eyes were red with anger, but he still obeyed his brother's words, angrily clasped his fists at Gu Cong and said: "Second uncle, I'm sorry, it's my nephew who is rude."
< br>
Gu Cong snorted and glanced to the side.
Is this your apology attitude?
Gu Yu frowned, looked at Gu Zhu and scolded: "The elders and younger ones are in order, how can the second uncle be rude? What is your attitude in apologizing?"
Gu Zhu held his breath, suddenly stood up, and walked away.
After leaving the hall, Gu Zhu looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and the depression in his chest eased slightly. He has been in Jiangdong for many years, who dares not to give him some respect? But today, Fang Jun trampled on the Gu family and Gu Zhu's face severely. How could he not hate it?
Gritting his teeth and looking back at the main room, Gu Zhu made up his mind and walked to the stable in the front yard to take out his BMW. He said to the groom, "I have returned to Wuyuan Town", and then rode away.
The two people in the house naturally didn't know that Gu Zhu went back to Wuyuan Town in anger...
Gu Cong sighed and said: "This Fang Jun is really difficult to deal with. Why do you look at him as if he is specifically targeting our Gu family?"
"Hmph!" Gu Yu snorted and said with a gloomy face: "So what? This time we secretly contacted the major families and made the quotations casually. When Fang Jun collected the money, they all said that we had no money. That house How dare Jun dare to risk the disapproval of the world and attack all Jiangnan scholars? Can the family take action? Either he sells tens of millions of dollars and becomes the laughing stock of the world, or he has to hold his nose and admit it, and everyone will buy his salt farm as much as they want. No matter what, he will. This is a sure loss!”
When it comes to anger, Gu Yu is even more angry than Gu Zhu!
Ever since he was a child, Gu Yu has been regarded by his elders as a talented and well-mannered young man. He is the most popular among his peers in the south of the Yangtze River and is unparalleled for a time. The so-called "Four Young Masters" were just making up the numbers. Gu Yu never really took these people to heart.
He is kind on the surface, but proud in his heart!
But today, his arrogance was trampled on by Fang Jun without mercy! In front of so many people, Gu Yu was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to fart!
Just because he had never experienced this kind of embarrassment, Gu Yu felt increasingly angry!
Gu Cong nodded and said: "This time it is Fang Jun's mistake. He never thought that we could unite the Jiangnan nobles again. Maybe this kid can't think of it now, but this opportunity is exactly what he gave us, right? Haha, I really want to see it. It looked like the boy couldn’t get enough money, so he had to hold his nose to see how much money he had.”
Gu Yu was also secretly proud of himself.
It was precisely because of Fang Jun's method of selling salt farm shares that he seized the opportunity. The Jiangnan nobles now respect and fear Fang Jun. On the one hand, they hope that this salt farm can really bring huge profits. On the other hand, they are also worried about whether Fang Jun is playing tricks on everyone. After taking the money, they found that the salt farm is not Fang Jun at all. What I said...
After all, boiling sea salt has been a common practice for thousands of years. This is how sea salt is cooked all over the world. Now Fang Jun suddenly came up with a way to produce sea salt without boiling it. Anyone can do it. Somewhat suspicious.
If you can spend a small amount of money to buy this salt farm, why not?
Therefore, Gu Yu only made a few fuss about it, and then he easily joined forces, making each family reach a tacit understanding.
I was secretly feeling proud in my heart when I heard footsteps outside the door, and a steward of the Gu family walked in quickly.
Gu Cong frowned and reprimanded: "How can you be so rude in a panic? Didn't you see that Mr. and Dalang were discussing something? If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed and saluted, and said quickly: "I was settling the accounts with the steward of the Zhou family for a batch of goods, when I heard that the town office of Huating Town sent a message to the Zhou family. Come back in a hurry.”
Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What's the news?"
The steward quickly said: "The officials sent by the town office said that the general manager has reported to the emperor that from now on the salt farm will be listed as a state-controlled industry. Private operations are allowed, but they must be approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a license must be issued. It can be operated, otherwise it will be considered illegal and will be strictly banned. ”
Gu Yu just thought about it for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
He hurriedly asked: "Is the news true?"
"It's absolutely true! The officials in Huating Town are not afraid of people. They just said that the general manager had just received a reply from the court, so he immediately notified the people who had previously bid to buy the shares of the salt farm to give everyone a reassurance... …”
Gu Yu closed his eyes, his mouth full of bitterness.
It’s really a reassurance...
As soon as this news came out, the stock price of the salt farm would soar immediately!
I originally thought that the tens of thousands of dollars paid per share was a big mistake, but now it seems that I can profit from it!
State control!
How to control?
This is clearly a policy issued for the Jiangnan Saltworks! With Fang Jun's strength in Jiangnan and His Majesty's high hopes for Jiangnan, Fang Jun has the final say in the entire salt field in Jiangnan. Whoever he says is good can do it, and whoever he says is not good can't...
It is conceivable that from now on, even if the salt farm is sold again, it will definitely be led by Fang Jun. Want to take advantage of him? Don’t even think about it!
This move immediately turned the salt farm into a hot spot. Not only did the families who bought the shares not make a fuss about the price or pretend to have no money, they would not only pay for it willingly, but they would also cry and shout Begging Fang Jun to collect money!
Because the stock price of the salt farm is different, even if it changes hands now, you can make an immediate profit!
Combine vertically and horizontally?
What a joke!
The most serious thing is that the Gu family was kicked out by Fang Jun and did not buy any shares at all. Once Fang Jun's future salt farm really has such a production, the Gu family, which is based on sea salt, will have no room to interfere...
That was a disaster.
Gu Yu gritted his teeth, this Fang Jun was too treacherous!
If such news had been released in advance, people would have gathered, which would have greatly increased the value of the salt farm. But he would rather sacrifice this part of his interests to let the Jiangnan nobles take sides. It is clear at a glance who supports him, who perfuses him, and who opposes him...
From now on, the Jiangnan gentry will be completely divided and will never be able to unite again.
There are so few recommendation votes. Don’t vote for those great gods. They are not bad at all. Just keep them all for us. Please...(???)
