"The top priority is how to allocate the twelve printing houses of the Houjiang Guild. Don't worry about other things!"
"We have just said that we can jointly take charge of these printing houses to maintain the imperial court's enshrinement unchanged, and each of the others will have five shares. With the experience of our chamber of commerce and the prepared manpower, we will use the best possible method without hindering normal operations.
Handover completed quickly.”
"It is absolutely impossible to split it half and half. No matter how much your bank contributes, we will take the lead this time and give you three shares at most. This is because we value your bank's experience in the operation of chambers of commerce. We don't want to squander it!"
"That's a loss-making transaction. We, the Shangqiu Guild, put in the effort, but in the end we could only get three shares. We also have to face the joint efforts of the other four chambers of commerce. They will definitely not give up. This time they enter the market, the gains will outweigh the losses."
"Why do you have to bully me, Manager Zhang? You only considered the superficial benefits. After taking over the Houjiang Guild, you have increased business channels, expanded business influence, and even gained the reputation of becoming the world's number one chamber of commerce. This has brought about
With the huge benefits, not only will you not suffer losses, but you will also make huge profits!"
…
The book printing house of the Song Dynasty was similar to the publishing house of later generations. It integrated the compilation, printing and selling of books. It also sold pens, inks, paper and inkstones. It included sales terminals in the three major industries of paper making, ink making and printing. It had a quite fierce competition.
market competition.
As the leader of the private printing industry, the Houjiang Guild only has twelve printing houses under its name. This shows the value of each printing house. Once it operates well, it will really make money every day and make money.
With the young master living in Fanlou all day long, he could bribe tens of thousands of dollars without changing his face.
Ever since, in the elegant room of Huixian Tower at this time.
Zhu Wu, Jiang Jing, Zhang Yu and other managers discussed fiercely, and even stood up from time to time, blushing and refusing to give in on the shares of the printing house.
Compared to their argument, Li Yan and Zhang Tang sat opposite each other in the room, sipping tea in a leisurely manner.
The faint sound coming from outside seemed to have no effect on the two of them. Li Yan sipped the fragrant tea and thought of the Yangxian tea in the Tang Dynasty. He felt a little nostalgic: "The aroma is full, refreshing, such a good tea!"
Zhang Tang also tasted it gently, and an old voice sounded: "I have heard of Mr. Lin's name for a long time, and I have always been acquainted with it. Today I finally made up for this regret. I hope we can have more contact with each other in the future."
Li Yan said in a reciprocal manner, neither arrogant nor humble: "Shou Zhang is very polite. I also hope that you and I can have a pleasant cooperation."
Zhang Tang's eyes moved: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but in the beginning, human nature is good, similar in nature, but far apart in habits... Is this "Three Character Classic" written by Mr. Lin?"
Li Yan thought that the intelligence spies of the Imperial City Division were not as good as these big chambers of commerce. It had only been a long time since they started negotiating, and the other party had already understood everything clearly. He nodded and said: "Not bad."
Zhang Tang said seriously: "Compared with the "Rabbit Garden Book", this "Three Character Classic" is not only easier to understand, but also catchy. It is suitable for the enlightenment of children. If it can be promoted, it will be a great blessing for culture and education. How many children will grow up to become talents in the future?
Everyone should recognize Mr. Lin!"
After a pause, he continued: "Master Lin opened Sui'an Academy because he wanted to promote culture and education. If we can get the printing shop of Houjiang Guild this time, we don't have to bother other people. We can quickly publish the Three Character Classic."
Print it quickly and send it to various places. I believe that major academies will definitely recognize its beauty and replace it as enlightenment textbooks."
Li Yan smiled: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang Hui, for your concern. I am indeed confident in the enlightenment usefulness of The Three Character Classic. However, the book has not been compiled yet, and I am not in a hurry to promote it."
Zhang Tang observed carefully and saw that his words were sincere, and felt a little puzzled. Who at such a young age does not want to become famous? Scholars pay attention to him. Is the other person really so calm?
He took a sip of tea, put aside the conversation first, and continued to seize the right to speak: "It turns out that Mr. Lin has already made arrangements, but I am rude, but I also need to make it clear that every printing house of the Houjiang Guild seems to be very profitable.
, but competition in this industry is actually extremely fierce.”
"The quality of books and the contents of their publications are fiercely fought over by major bookstores. It would be a pity if a group of outsiders entered the bookstore and did not know how to manage it. They could destroy the foundation in a short period of time and sit on the treasure mountain without entering.
!”
Li Yan put down the tea cup and made a gesture of approval: "What Zhang Hui said is true. Nowadays, the most concentrated printing presses in private printing are in Bianjing, Hangzhou, Jianzhou, Meizhou and Jiangxi."
"Among them, Jianzhou belongs to Fujian Road, and the Zhang family was born in Pucheng, which is the 'Northern Gate' of Fujian. It has been the first pass from the Central Plains to Fujian since ancient times. During the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, Grandfather Taifu guarded Pucheng and protected Fujian.
After establishing a meritorious service, the family will continue to grow, and the descendants will become more and more prosperous, becoming a prominent family in the world..."
Zhang Tang was a little surprised: "Master Lin actually knows so much about our clan?"
Li Yan smiled and said: "To be honest with Zhang Hui, I admire Zhang Xianggong's actions quite a lot. The so-called love for the house and the bird naturally has a good impression on Zhang."
Zhang Tang's eyes narrowed slightly. If he had said this a year ago, it would have been regarded as flattery to Mr. Zhang, but today, it is completely different.
Zhang Dun's political career has been completely over. This prime minister with a strong character has offended too many people before, not only the conservative old party, but also many people in the new party who are in the same boat. Revenge will naturally follow, and even more
What's more, there is the famous saying "You can't rule the world by being frivolous"!
Nowadays, it is risky to say that you admire Zhang Dun, even if you are not an official, as long as you have a certain social status. Zhang Tang was puzzled at first, but after carefully looking at the white body of this famous capital master, he couldn't help but have the idea that maybe the other party
That's what I just said.
Regarding this kind of magnanimity, Zhang Tang couldn't help but sigh: "People often don't express what they mean when they are young, and they don't mean what they say when they grow up. Compared with Mr. Lin, who is quick to talk and full of confidence, I really envy him!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yan smiled: "Zhang Huishou is very polite. I mentioned the reputation of Fujian Luyin Bookstore. Naturally, I also know that your bank is engaged in paper making, ink making and printing.
The industry has already had a deep foundation. If outsiders like us take over the printing house, it may not take half a year. The old brand built over the past few decades will be in our hands. Only by cooperating with your bank can we let them
Keep it going.”
"But to put it bluntly, the six major chambers of commerce have invested heavily in these industries related to culture and education. They all hope to be the leader in the market, so naturally they can hand over smoothly. We chose Shangqiu Bank
Yes, what I value is not only your bank, but also Zhang’s reputation.”
The so-called famous families in the Song Dynasty, even the strongest Han family in Xiangzhou, were incomparable to the previous high families. However, since the Zhang family was able to establish the guild headquarters in Shangqiu near Bianjing, and then to the point where it spread throughout the country,
It can be seen that this family is indeed full of talents.
Li Yan likes to deal with smart people who have knowledge and knowledge. Based on interests, he can predict his actions and will not use dirty tricks casually, so he chooses to form an alliance with the Shangqiu Guild.
Zhang Tang understood this meaning, and after pondering for a while, he started the third topic: "Since Mr. Lin is sincere, I should naturally reciprocate his kindness, but there is still one problem that we must make clear."
Li Yan said: "Please give the speech, Zhang Hui."
Zhang Tang said: "I know Ye Jichang. He is a vicious and unscrupulous person. The reason why the Houjiang Guild has grown to its current situation is because he embezzled and annexed many businessmen. Now we are going to attack him.
Even if the Imperial City Division has control of the evidence, how can we prevent this mermaid from being killed and broken up, and no one will benefit from it?"
These words were very direct, and Li Yan also said: "What Zhang Hui said is indeed what we are worried about. Not only does this person have a sinister temperament, but he may also be directly connected to the Mingzun cult, and he has some dead members of the cult under his command."
, once you see that the situation is not good, you will naturally jump over the wall in a hurry!"
Zhang Tang's face softened a little: "It seems that Mr. Lin has already considered it. He must have a perfect plan?"
Li Yan thought that just like the Imperial City Division and the Beijing Forbidden Army, no matter how good the plan was, there might be problems in the execution stage, so how could there be a foolproof strategy? However, he could only show an infectious and confident smile: "I can't say that there is a foolproof strategy, but there is still a surefire strategy.
There is one thing I want to ask of Zhang Huishou."
Zhang Tang said: "Master Lin, please tell me."
Li Yan said: "I heard that the six major chambers of commerce each have a stake in Fanlou. I wonder if this is true or not?"
Zhang Tang was a little unsure of his intentions and said slowly: "This matter was true twenty years ago. At that time, the six major chambers of commerce each held a share. However, over the years, some have withdrawn and some have increased their shares. It is not
They all have shares in Fan Tower. As for our Chamber of Commerce, we currently have three shares in Fan Tower, which actually holds the largest share."
Li Yan smiled: "It seems that I am lucky. I have found the right person. I have a piece of work that needs your help..."
After listening to this, Zhang Tang suddenly said: "It turns out that the disappearance of the famous prostitute is related to Ming Zunjiao. We must investigate it in detail. Mr. Lin, please rest assured that we will definitely cooperate with you in this matter!"
Without this alliance, it is unknown whether they would have been so magnanimous, and their cooperation in this matter also means that they are unwilling to directly conflict with the Houjiang Guild. The calculations of these old foxes are sophisticated.
Even so, Li Yan still bowed his hands and saluted: "Zhang Huishou is open-minded and I admire him very much."
Zhang Tang returned the gift with a smile, and his eyes moved slightly: "Mr. Lin, you are too polite. In fact, we can also transfer Fan Lou's shares. If it succeeds this time, how about exchanging one share for three printing houses?"
Li Yan was a little speechless: "Fan Tower looks prosperous, but the profit per share is probably incomparable to that of a printing press. One share for three printing presses, Zhang Huishou is too exaggerated!"
Zhang Tang smiled and said: "That's not the case. Fan Tower is extremely symbolic. People in various states and counties don't know how many printing houses there are in the world, but they have all heard of this first building in the world. Mr. Lin doesn't want to be the symbol of Bianjing."
A prosperous restaurant owner?"

Li Yan was unmoved: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness. I'm just an ordinary Bianjing citizen. I'm afraid I don't have such blessings."
After Zhang Tang tried his best, he didn't say much. After agreeing to facilitate Fan Lou's investigation, Li Yan stood up and left.
Looking at Li Yan's back, Zhang Tang murmured: "This man has a big chest, he will become a great person, and his future is immeasurable!"
Jiang Jing and Zhu Wu followed Li Yan and left. Outside, ten against two, the stewards who were still a little overwhelmed breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Yu came to the inner room and reported: "Head of the meeting, the other party is very difficult to deal with. We haven't talked about it yet."
Close."
Zhang Tang looked away and said nonchalantly: "With such huge interests involved, this is just the first round of contact. There will be competition later. It is better to make ugly remarks in the front than to fall out with each other later."
Zhang Yu was a little worried: "But the Imperial City Secretary is overbearing, I'm worried..."
Zhang Tang said: "Are you worried that even if you sign a contract, the Imperial City Division will not abide by it? Don't worry about it. In the business world, how can Gao Qiu be our opponent?"
Zhang Yu nodded: "That's true."
Zhang Tang said: "However, although Gao Qiu is from the market, he can use Mr. Lin, so he is also a figure. We should not underestimate him. If we can really win the Houjiang Guild this time and become the leader of the industry,
We still have to maintain this relationship, so what do you do next..."
After Zhang Tang carefully summoned all the stewards and gave them instructions, he returned to his seat, poured out the herbal tea, and started brewing it again.
When the smell of fragrant tea filled the air again, a smile spread from the corner of his mouth. Zhang Dun resigned from office. It was originally a blow, but now he met Gao Qiu, an old minister of Qiandi, and regained a high-level political background. It was really a turn of events.
