All the grain merchants in Guanzhong were immediately panicked after hearing that millions of kilograms of rice had entered Chang'an. Several major grain merchants immediately gathered together to discuss how to deal with the upcoming price reduction frenzy, but before they could say anything, they all sighed.
gloom.
Things are rare and valuable, and food prices will skyrocket in every disaster year. The people suffer because they cannot afford to buy food, and starve to death everywhere. However, the major grain merchants are extremely rich. Anyone who can work in an industry like food, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood,
To become bigger and stronger or even to monopolize one party, there must be a powerful force behind it. Behind the three major grain merchants who control the Guanzhong grain trade are the Dou family, the Wei family, and the Yuan family.
Needless to say, the Dou family are first-class relatives. Although His Majesty Li Er repeatedly suppressed his relatives, he only wanted to prevent his relatives from gaining power and interfering in government affairs, and was not worried about them making money.
The Wei family is a prominent family in Guanzhong. Although it is far from reaching the peak strength of "Weidu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu" to dominate the court at this time, it is still the most representative family in the Guanzhong area.
As for the Yuan family, one of the "Eight Pillar Kingdoms", it is the backbone of the Guanlong Group. It is from the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The head of the family, Yuan Renhui, is low-key and rarely appears in public. However, he has an old relationship with the great ancestor Li Yuan, and in the Li and Tang royal families
He made great contributions in the process of fighting for world hegemony. His Majesty Li Er has always respected him and his status is very high.
The grain business, which is the most important pillar of the family, is in crisis. Several family heads are in the same room to discuss countermeasures. The location is in the main hall of the Wei family. Dou Shaoxuan comes to the Dou family, and Yuan Renhui, the head of the Yuan family, has always ignored this kind of businessmen.
What happened was that his son Yuan Huaijing came.
Yuan Huaijing is not as good as Weak Guan. Although he is a bit younger, as the only son of Yuan Renhui, he is naturally qualified to participate in such meetings. Besides, since Fang Jun's sudden rise, who else dares to make excuses for other people's age?
Young people from poor families should not be bullied, as they may be able to achieve great success one day; children from aristocratic families should not be bullied even more. After all, the conditions for achievement are a hundred times stronger than those of young people from poor families, and they may be promoted to nobility in just two years.
Yuan Huaijing inherited the excellent genes of the Yuan family, and was handsome and tall, but his temperament was a bit frivolous...
"In my opinion, you don't need to worry. That Fang Er is famous for making money. As long as such grains are slowly released according to the current market price, the profit will be at least double. It is faster than robbing money! He will give up this
Is there an opportunity to make money? So, we just need to contact him privately, promise to slightly restrict shipments during the period when he ships, sell him a favor, and let him make money, and he will not go against us if he thinks about it.
It will be of no benefit to anyone to drive food prices off a cliff."
Crossing his legs, Yuan Huaijing said casually.
In his opinion, he is a young man on the same level as Fang Jun. The reason why he is not as prosperous as Fang Jun is just because his opportunity has not come. Isn't Jin Lin a creature in the pond? He can turn into a dragon when encountering a storm.
In the future, it is not a matter of course to achieve great success and become a prince or prime minister.
As for the two old men in front of him, he couldn't bear to look at them.
Perhaps Dou Shaoxuan is not considered an old man, but he has no integrity and lacks firmness. The younger members of the family were bullied arbitrarily by Fang Jun but did not even dare to fart. He simply lost the face of Guanlong Group!
How can such dolphins and dogs be together?
Dou Shaoxuan glanced at Yuan Huaijing indifferently and said nothing.
I don’t know since when, the children of the aristocratic families in Guanzhong seem to have become more and more arrogant. Each of them looks like the boss of the sky and the second in command, as if they are the second in command. They act recklessly and domineeringly. There is no respect for the elders.
Education?
That stick from Fang Er really led to an evil trend...
Wei Yuantong, the head of the Wei family, has just passed his fifties this year and is one year older than Wei Ting, the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs. The two are cousins. They have the same slim appearance, elegant demeanor and the style of a famous official.
After listening to Yuan Huaijing's words, Wei Yuantong shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "My nephew only knows one, but he doesn't know the other. Although Fang Jun has the skills to make money, he acts recklessly and cannot be judged by common sense.
.We, the Guanlong Group, prevent it from taking over Jingzhao Yinxian, which will definitely arouse Fang Jun’s hatred. Once it sells rice grain regardless of the cost, just to retaliate against us, it will definitely have an immeasurable impact on our industry.
, must not be handled with caution.”
To put it bluntly, Fang Jun is "rich and willful" right now. Once he goes crazy and goes against the three major grain merchants regardless of the cost, he will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself. The problem is that Fang Jun is rich! His
Regardless of the value of the various industries, the flow of water alone is enough to surpass the three major grain merchants countless times. Once a war breaks out, the three major grain merchants will definitely lose.
Is it necessary to embezzle other money from the family to fill this hole?
This is business, don't act on impulse.
Yuan Huaijing disagreed.
Can anyone still complain about having too much money?
Dou Shaoxuan looked down upon Yuan Huaijing's frivolity. He was just a fledgling who had not experienced any hardships. He was arrogant and self-righteous. He was not even on the same level as Fang Jun.
He looked at Wei Yuantong and suggested: "Food is the biggest industry of our three families. It is related to the prosperity and stability of the family and cannot be ignored. In my opinion, why not go to Fang Jun to discuss it and see what he thinks.
If you can bow your head appropriately in exchange for peaceful coexistence, it will be worth it."
Yuan Huaijing immediately objected: "That's inappropriate! What does his Fang family mean? When my ancestors were famous, his Fang family was still farming in Shandong and Niba. How could we bow to him? Besides, the Guanlong Group is in the same group.
If we keep our heads down, what will other families think of us?"
Dou Shaoxuan was speechless, why the hell did you bring your ancestors out to make a fuss?
We all know what your ancestors are capable of. When your ancestors were emperors and were in power, not to mention the Fang family, even the current Li and Tang royal family probably had weak legs at that time! But what's the use of this?
Those who understand the current affairs are heroes. You can't even understand the situation. You are really a loser! But thinking about the younger generations in my family, they don't seem to be any better. Why do all the talents and abilities of this generation seem to be ignored by Fang Jun?
One person occupied it?
Wei Yuantong directly scolded Yuan Huaijing without giving him any face: "My nephew's words are wrong. The Guanlong Group is in the same boat, but besides us, who else has a large proportion in the grain industry? Once this happens,
The price of grain in Guanzhong collapsed. Apart from the heavy losses suffered by the three of us, what losses did others suffer? It has nothing to do with ourselves. By then, the so-called Guanlong Group will only see our jokes and no one will help us.
"
It's just the words of an experienced person.
The so-called Guanlong Group is just a small group united by interests. The gap in strength between everyone is not too big. They help each other but also restrict each other. Only in this way can they maintain internal stability and exert their tyrannical strength.
But since they are united because of interests, they will inevitably fall apart because of interests. At present, there is already a lot of trouble within the Guanlong Group, and there is mutual suspicion. Once the three companies suffer heavy losses in the grain industry, it is hard to say whether anyone will stand up and seek justice.
, but there will definitely be people who add insult to injury and take the opportunity to enter the food industry to get a share of the pie...
Yuan Huaijing was about to speak, but suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. A servant of the Wei family came in quickly and said urgently: "Master, something bad has happened! It is now rumored that Fang Jun will open three new shops in Chang'an City.
Grain business, and this batch of rice purchased by Lin Yiguo will be sold at cost price, which is called 'year-end big reward, jumping off the building sale'..."
Yuan Huaijing said in astonishment: "Since it is a rumor among the people, why should you believe it to be true?"
He still didn't believe that Fang Jun could not make money just to vent his anger. Isn't this a fool?
But he forgot that Fang Jun actually had a nickname called "Bangchui"...
Wei Yuantong smiled bitterly and said: "Listen to these words, 'Big deal at the end of the year, huge sales by jumping off the building', strong Fang Jun style, who else in the world can think of such inflammatory words except Fang Jun
?”
Yuan Huaijing panicked and said hurriedly: "Then what should we do? Why don't we just follow what Uncle Shi said and let's go talk to Fang Jun. Why waste money without making money and only want to be angry?"
Wei Yuantong felt disdainful in his heart, this kid was a good-for-nothing, so he couldn't hold back his anger?
Fang Jun's killer move hasn't been released yet, but he just made a rumor and you were frightened?
There is no shortage of tricks and strategies!
He looked at Dou Shaoxuan and asked, "What do you think, dear brother?"
Dou Shaoxuan sighed and said, "Fang Jun is giving us a notice. If we don't go to him and bow down, he will definitely do this."
Wei Yuantong nodded: "Yes, that's right. So what should we do?"
Yuan Huaijing was a little dissatisfied. Isn't this the same thing as what I said? Why did you ignore me when I said it, but you agreed to it when Dou Shaoxuan said it?
Bullying!
Dou Shaoxuan said with a helpless smile: "It's not impossible to bow your head, but if you surrender before the confrontation, what do people outside think of us? What do the people inside the Guanlong Group think of us? So, we still have to fight."
Wei Yuantong put his hands on his hands and laughed: "My dear brother's words are just what I want! That Fang Jun has always been arrogant, this time I have to let him see that we people are not free earners after living these years."
Dou Shaoxuan said: "This is what I mean."
Yuan Huaijing stood at a loss.
Is it because my IQ is too low? I can’t even understand...
