Dong Guangzheng complimented Han Du modestly and then revealed this section.
Han Du looked at Dong Guangzheng with a smile, and was not sure whether the fact was as he said, or whether there were other reasons for this. Because, according to Dong Guangzheng, it was entirely possible. He built the road himself in the first place.
At that time, there was indeed a lot of movement. Many people visited and walked past the road after it was built. If Dong Guangzheng happened to have been there at that time, it would be possible for him to know himself.
The other businessmen on the side were also speechless by Dong Guangzheng's words.
After all, Han Du is an official, regardless of whether Han Du is a high official or a small official. These businessmen have the mentality that doing more is worse than doing less. They will not embarrass Han Du on such an occasion and will not come to power. Since Dong Guang is complimenting Han Du, If everyone in the capital knows what he does, then even if these businessmen have just heard of Han Du for the first time today, they will pretend to have heard of Han Du's reputation for a long time, and laugh and agree. Dong Guangzheng’s words.
Anyway, it’s a principle, everyone carries the sedan chair.
It can be seen that Dong Guangzheng spoke very well. Not only did he pat Han Du's horse without leaving a trace, avoiding Han Du's questioning, but he also blocked the mouths of others to prevent leaks.
Han Du smiled and didn't pay too much attention to Dong Guangzheng. After pondering for a while, his thoughts returned to the matter of selling mirrors, and he asked everyone: "I heard from Xiong Ting, do you want to establish a business in the Ming Dynasty, one capital, and fourteen provinces?"
Are you running a mirror business?"
When Dong Guangzheng heard this, his heart straightened, and he immediately replied: "That's right, we can increase the price by 10% and be fully responsible for the mirror business of the province. I wonder what your Majesty wants?"
Xiong Ting stood beside Han Du with his head lowered. Hearing Dong Guangzheng's words, a surge of anger surged in his heart. If Xiong Ting hadn't lowered his head, he would have been worried that he would not be able to stop the anger in his heart and show it on his face.
The expression came out and ruined the adult's affairs.
If Han Du hadn't explained it to him, he would have thought that this opinion was very beneficial to him. But after Han Du's explanation, he already knew that these people were digging a hole for him and waiting for him to jump down.
But it's okay now. There are adults here to see how to deal with you profiteers.
When Han Du heard this, he smiled and said, "Well, this is a good thing. In principle, I agree."
When Han Du nodded in agreement, all the businessmen present smiled knowingly, feeling that things were already in hand and it was time for them to make a fortune.
However, Han Du's next few words made them realize that it was too early to be happy.
"But I have my own ideas about how to sell it." After Han Du finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone.
Dong Guangzheng smiled kindly and stretched out his hand to signal Han Du, "If Mr. Han has any ideas, please tell me."
Han Du nodded and said straightforwardly: "Although the Ming Dynasty has fourteen provinces, there are rich and poor in these provinces. And what about the mirror? It is a precious object, so these provinces have different purchasing power for mirrors.
Rich provinces will naturally buy more, and one of you who occupies these provinces will naturally earn more than those who sell in poor provinces. Do you think this is fair?"
As soon as Han Du said these words, several businessmen immediately fell into deep thought. Some of them also changed their expressions. Among them was Dong Guangzheng.
Dong Guangzheng was naturally dissatisfied when he saw Han Du directly exposing the conspiracy, but he could not make Han Du silent. At first, he and several familiar businessmen gathered a group of people to try to eat
Naturally, they have an agreement on the mirror business. That is, they want to occupy the richest provinces in the south. Of course, they also want to eat at the top and the bottom. But these are all discussions between them.
, and did not disclose it to other businessmen who came together.
The one hit by Han Du now hit the weak point of their alliance, and Dong Guangzheng and others could not help but change their expressions.
Seeing that several other businessmen looked at him and others with some doubts, Dong Guangzheng calmed down and said with a calm smile: "We can come down and discuss this issue of who is poor and who is rich. It's great, let's draw lots to decide, no.
Okay? No matter you are poor or rich, everything just depends on God’s will.”
Draw lots?
This was a good idea, and several other businessmen withdrew their suspicious glances and turned to look at Han Du. The most important issue now was not how to distribute, but the issue of successfully taking over the entire mirror business from Han Du.
As for how to distribute it, that is a matter for later.
Han Du looked at everyone calmly with a smile on his face. From Dong Guangzheng's words to ease the conflict just now, Han Du keenly discovered that these people are not monolithic. Since they are not monolithic, there are naturally loopholes to exploit.
I saw Han Du chuckle and said: "Drawing lots? How old are you? You still learn how to draw lots as a child. I am kind enough to help you solve such a simple matter. Oh, I have calculated it. These fourteen
Although the provinces are rich and poor, they can still be balanced. I roughly divided the fourteen provinces into eight parts. The most is three provinces, and the least is only one province. In this way, eight parts can be sold.
The mirrors are almost all the same. In this way, no one suffers, wouldn't it be better?"
Is it better to divide it into eight parts?
But they have a total of fourteen merchants here, how should they be divided into eight?
Dong Guangzheng looked at Han Du blatantly dividing them. He could no longer maintain a smile on his face and turned livid with anger. He said in a deep voice: "Master Han just needs to give us all the mirrors for sale. Don't dare to do anything else."
Please excuse me, sir."
When Han Du saw Dong Guangzheng talking to him so unceremoniously, he almost ordered himself. Naturally, Han Du would no longer keep a fake smile with him, and waved his hand to stop Dong Guangzheng's words.
He continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet."
He glanced at everyone and said: "If you want the selling rights of these eight parts, of course you can, but you have to pay for them. You can pay to buy out the selling rights, and the one with the highest price will get it.
But this sales right has a time limit, so let’s set it to five years for the time being. Within five years, I can guarantee that you will only be provided with mirrors by one firm within the corresponding issuance range. When the five-year period expires, the sales right will be renewed.
Auction. Of course, as a testimony that we have cooperated with each other for five years, if someone agrees with your conditions by then, then you will be given priority to continue doing it, how about it?"
