Everyone knows very well that criticizing a colleague and criticizing the boss of Lin's Salt Industry are two different things!
Lin's Salt Industry is different from other companies in the industry. It is the most special company and the company that is most closely integrated with the power of the government!
For example, the people who transported salt to Lin's Salt Industry were not boatmen but the Suzhou Guards Transport Army, all of whom were Lin Tailai's old subordinates.
All checkpoints and posts from the salt field to the exit are now in charge of the Yangzhou Guards, and the commander of the Yangzhou Guards is the in-law of Lin Tailai's second brother.
Not to mention that Lin Tailai's wife's brother is also the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and is the boss of the Salt Transportation Department.
It's okay to scold Yuan Wang, but if you scold the boss of Lin's Salt Industry, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble!
Otherwise, everyone just spent a long time talking and knew who was behind the scenes, but they didn't even dare to mention Lin Tailai's name.
Huh? It seems that a colleague mentioned the words "Lin Jiuyuan". This person must be in danger!
Wang Yuwai looked around the very quiet courtyard, feeling all kinds of emotions well up in his heart.
These salt merchants in front of me are all peers, and their identities are similar to mine.
When I looked at these peers before, although they were stronger or weaker, their statuses were generally equal.
Now, looking at these colleagues from the perspective of the boss of Lin's Salt Industry, one realizes that they are really nothing.
Is this what the legendary official businessman feels like? Wang Yuanwai, who has been a private businessman all his life, did not expect that after turning fifty, he would have a new business experience and evolve from a private businessman to a government businessman.
It’s not in vain that I betrayed my daughter and my soul.
However, I heard that there is another kind of risk among government officials and businessmen, which is the so-called political risk. If the backer falls, you will be completely helpless.
But it doesn’t matter, I don’t have a son! Let’s get satisfied first and then talk about it now!
I also heard that there were imperial merchants on top of the official merchants. I wonder what that experience would be like?
There were nearly two hundred people including salt merchants and spectators. Everyone sat down in a daze, and then they all looked at the three chairs in the middle that belonged to the general merchant.
Wang Yuanwai, no, he should be called shopkeeper Wang now, and the big man with the golden sword is sitting in the middle.
Zheng Zhiyan, the leader of Huizhou merchants, could only sit on the sidelines. No matter how dissatisfied he felt, it was useless no matter how aggrieved he was.
Originally, in the Huizhou merchant system, Wang Qing's status was below Zheng Dachaofeng, and his seat was always on the side, but now Wang Qing represents Lin's Salt Industry.
At this time, everyone wanted to understand a question. Why did Lin Er Ge, Lu Junbi and other core figures of Lin's Salt Industry not show up today? It turned out to be because Shopkeeper Wang represented Lin's Salt Industry.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled at Zheng Chaofeng and said, "I didn't participate in the previous preparations. The guild opens today. What are we going to discuss?"
Zheng Chaofeng looked at Mr. Sun, the leader of the Western merchants, and replied: "We want to discuss the issue of the distribution of academic status for our salt merchants."
Shopkeeper Wang seemed to be asking questions as a courtesy, but after he finished asking, he didn't bother with the scheduled topic at all.
He loudly said to everyone in the hall: "We at Lin's Salt Industry have something to announce to you!
Lin's Salt Industry has decided to borrow 100,000 taels of silver from all of its colleagues using all the nest capital it controls as collateral!
Anyone who is interested in this can contact me privately to discuss the amount, year, and interest in detail!”
As soon as everyone digested the fact that Mr. Wang had become shopkeeper Wang, they were shocked by the new news thrown by Mr. Wang.
If you think about it roughly, Yan Yin's nests are equivalent to hard currency. Lin's Salt Industry now controls at least 40,000 Yin's nests.
Business people say that if you use 40,000 taels of silver as collateral, you can borrow 100,000 taels of silver without any pressure.
It's just that Lin's Salt Industry is not an ordinary business group. It's too political. I don't know what you want to do with the loan of 100,000 taels?
Shopkeeper Wang put down the tea cup and said again: "Don't worry, everyone, the Lin Group has no intention of continuing to cause trouble in Yangzhou.
It's just that the Lin Group is preparing to dredge old rivers in the south of the Yangtze River so that Suzhou City can have direct waterway access to the East China Sea, so it needs to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time.
The capital of Lin's Salt Industry is not even worth one hundred thousand taels."
Most of the people here are businessmen. When they heard "Tonghai", they immediately reacted!
It is said that their salt industry is highly profitable, but if there is any other industry that can compare with the salt industry, it is only sea trade.
The salt industry is strictly controlled by the imperial court. Even if it is involved in smuggling, you will still have to pay a lot of taxes, but those who engage in sea trade do not pay taxes at all!
For example, the official regulations stipulate that Fujian ships eighty ships out to sea every year, but only the devil knows how many ships go out to sea for smuggling!
Compared with sea trade, salt smuggling is like children's play house!
Everyone in the hall was whispering and discussing.
Shopkeeper Wang stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late today, so let's stop here!"
If you are willing to cooperate financially with Lin Group, please contact me privately!
There are various ways of cooperation, including borrowing and investing! In addition to interest, you may also have the opportunity to gain the friendship of the Lin Group!"
Zheng Chaofeng tried his best to maintain his presence as the leader of Huizhou merchants and shouted: "Wait a minute, the issue of local school enrollment allocation for our foreign salt merchants has not been discussed yet."
"We need to talk about it!" Shopkeeper Wang Da said without looking back: "School affairs are under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and Lin Jiuyuan is an official of the Ministry of Rites! When he returns to the capital, he will handle it directly from the Ministry of Rites!"
Young Master Xu, who was sitting in the crowd watching the ceremony, had his eyes red. Even a shopkeeper under Lin Tailai came out and opened his mouth to do business worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.
