On the other hand, Mr. Jia's life is not easy now. Although he is the general manager of the casino, it is not the turn of this bastard to make irresponsible remarks about the Jia family's affairs. His affairs will soon be taken over by those above him.
Everyone knows that the person who came to ask Jia San about it is this guy's cousin Jia Zheng. This Jia Zheng is different from Jia San. Jia Zheng is a standard direct descendant, and he is treated much better than Jia San after he is born.
, Although Jia San is two years younger than Jia Zheng, if they were ordinary people, their status should not be much different, but it is obvious that the gap between them is huge. Jia San only manages casinos in dozens of provinces.
However, Jia Zheng is the top leader of the Jia family in these dozens of provinces. Such a top leader has nothing to do with official positions in the court. Even if you are already the governor, as long as you are a member of the Jia family faction
People, when they meet Jia Zheng, do whatever they want. There is no way. The power of these aristocratic families is even more powerful in the Eastern Empire. They have their own fiefdoms and even their own armies. Of course
, the most important thing is that they have their own islands at sea, which is the most important base.
When Jia San came here before, he didn't think much of his cousin. He thought that this cousin didn't have much to do, and he was simply not on the same level as him. But that was in the past, and he definitely wasn't.
At this time, my cousin can say whatever he says, because he may bring a huge enemy to the Jia family, not only the billions of money lost in the casino, but also their
The intelligence team also conducted some investigations on Li Cong and the others. Naturally, the Ax Gang's affairs were beyond their control. Now they know that this person may be someone from several other empires. In the past, the empire was not interested in such people.
There is nothing to investigate about smuggling, but things have changed recently. The empire is in a state of hostility with the other three empires. Their affairs are not that simple, and smuggling is also different.
Jia Zheng was happily drinking fine tea in his seat at the moment. He was in charge of many things in the family. Although the Jia family was not as powerful as the Linghu family in the Eastern Empire, the Jia family could be considered one of the top twenty large families.
There are thousands of direct descendants in the entire family, not to mention tens of thousands of concubine descendants. This Jia San is just a concubine descendant. Such a person is not in his eyes. When he was a child, he looked down on such a guy.
.There is no direct descendant of the blood at all. But in the eyes of many people outside, he has to pretend that he is a direct descendant of the Jia family. This kind of thing makes me very uncomfortable.
In the past, I couldn't get involved in the affairs of the casino. Many things were decided by this kid himself. But now, this kid is like a rooster that has lost a fight. He has lost his original momentum. Look.
This kid looks like he has no intention of making a comeback, and it is impossible for him to beat others in gambling. Although he had a lot of troubles with this kid in the past, now he can be regarded as meritorious.
Yes, their brothers will go to the Ax Gang after a brief meeting here to discuss some trade matters with Li Cong. It will not be simple, and the transaction may be huge.
"Mistress." Jia Zheng opened his mouth and said. He used to say "Lao San", but now he has become "Mistress". Several of Jia San's followers were not very happy, but they all knew their
This third master is considered a master outside, but there is no big deal at home. It is better to listen honestly. Jia San's face is not very happy either. From the third child to the mistress, this is not a title.
There may be many problems that make him very uncomfortable.
"My cousin's orders." He would have said it politely in the past, and he would never be as respectful as he is now. Jia Zheng is still very satisfied with Jia San's attitude. No matter how much credit a commoner has, he should do it.
Like this, but Jia Zheng is different from half of his direct descendants. He will never make trouble for Jia San at this time. Although Jia San has lost the face of the family, he is definitely not an ordinary person in the management of the casino.
Replacement, and if this guy is removed now, it is impossible for him to find a successor. Then his income will be less, and he will lose face. In other words, the direct descendants of the family will also compete with each other.
It's very intense and it doesn't end easily.
"Sit down and talk. I have nothing to say. You don't need to be too sad. This incident is not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone knows that you like to do some weird things. Isn't that kid okay?
At most, our Jia family can just apologize to them. You are still a bit too bold in this matter, but you have found a good deal. Our intelligence department has already collected it. If they are willing to do it,
According to our prices for those things, our monthly profit will be more than three billion silver, and the annual increase in income will be much higher than before. Naturally, I will have more information at the family meeting.
With more say, with this money, our power in Yunlan City will become even stronger. Of course, I will definitely not erase the credit that belongs to you." Jia Zheng said, although his words did not impress Jia San.
Touched, but this is completely different from what Jia San guessed. What Jia San thought was that maybe he had nothing. Maybe this guy would just let him get out of the house. In that case, he would only be able to eat, drink and have fun in the future.
I was dawdling around, but I didn't expect that not only did I not want to pursue myself, but I also wanted to teach myself how to do it. This thing is intriguing. My relationship with my cousin is not so good. He
Why should I teach myself this? This is a business worth tens of billions of dollars every year. Although it is not as good as the casino business in my hand, it can still be in the top few of the family's income. It won't be like this.
, he should have other plans, other plans that he doesn't know about.
"Cousin, I, Jia San, am really guilty of this incident. I was indeed a bit greedy at the beginning, otherwise I would not have done such a thing, but in the end, the gentleman did not open the die.
Yes, I think he also wants to cooperate with us. If that's the case, I think tonight's meeting is okay. But with a monthly profit of three billion silver, isn't this scale a bit small? Our business
There are many stalls all over the country, and this amount of food can probably be consumed in several provinces." Jia San said tentatively, he knew that his cousin was very loyal on the surface. But in the world
How many of the people who grew up in the Jia family are really loyal? All of them are a bit treacherous, and they know a lot of things. The one in front of you will definitely be like this, so you should not believe it first.
The guy is better.
"This is just an initial amount. Another thing is that we must know what this guy does. It would be better if this guy is just a gangster force. Then we can get some goods from him on a large scale.
But if this guy is not there, there will be problems, such as the governments of the three empires. In this case, we will definitely not do business with them. Now the empire and the other three empires are making a lot of noise, and we can't do anything wrong.
Yes, we can't afford it if something goes wrong. Although the profits from this kind of trade are huge, it won't be of much help to the entire family." Jia San finally understood what was going on. Damn it, this old man
This guy will never take advantage of himself with such a good thing. Damn it, this guy must have understood what is going on. He is pushing me out as a scapegoat. I am not a fool for such a thing. I will definitely take care of it.
I wanted to think about it for a while, but then I thought about the current situation. If I couldn’t say anything...
"Cousin, actually I have one more thing to do. Recently I feel that my gambling skills have declined a lot. Why don't I go back and study it carefully so that I can contribute to the family in the future. Now I have this matter
I really feel like I can't use my strength. Is this okay?" Jia San said tentatively. Although this is a good-looking position, if something goes wrong, he might be in trouble.
Even if you lose your head, it would be better not to have such glory and wealth. Speaking of which, life is pretty good now. Even if you don't manage the casino, you can still live a good life with your own money.
"Haha, mistress, you underestimate yourself too much. Didn't I tell you everything about the casino? Even if it were someone else, it would definitely end like that. I think you should stop worrying about that matter. The family has arranged it for you.
Everyone's errands are carefully considered and will not be messed up. Just like this matter, I have already reported it to the family, and they have agreed. This is an important task given to you by the family. If you
If you can do well, several of the boys in your family must have grown up. They are still idle in the capital. They should also come out to hang out with you for a while. They have grown up. They can't just idle at home all the time.
Well, the family has a lot of things for them to do." Jia Zheng said with a smile on his face, but after finishing speaking, Jia San's heart felt chilly. Now Jia San has four sons, but these four
All the boys are in the old house in the capital, where thousands of young children of the family are gathered. Their lives are said to be studying, but in fact they are just being hostages. If any of the children outside disobeys, their lives will be ruined.
But it can be imagined that, especially a bastard like Jia San, no one cares about him at all. Now there is another meaning in this sentence, that is, as long as he does well, these children may be able to come out and follow Jia San.
After a while, Jia San couldn't resist such a father-son meeting.
"Thank you, cousin. I think these things should be fine. Since it was my cousin who said that gambling skills don't need to be improved, I understand. I think it's almost time. Should we go there?"
San looked at the time and said, it was already half an hour before the agreed time. They were not close to there. It would be bad if they were late for the first time.
"Well, that's exactly what you said. Let's set off right away. We can't let others wait." Jia Zheng also understood this matter.
On the other side, on the northern battlefield, Tuoba Yuanye has already had two relatively large battles with the Eastern Empire's army. Each time the number of troops was more than two million, which was naturally a loss for the Eastern Empire's army.
It's more powerful, but the scribes of the Eastern Empire also recorded the situation on the battlefield and quickly fed back to the rear. Although things like tanks have no effect, they can still advance quickly when they do it.
With at least 10,000 people following them, they can last longer. The Eastern Empire also feels that the northern defense line is difficult to crack, but now they can only rely on the human sea tactic to rush over. They abandoned the cavalry, which is very expensive.
The troops of the army began to use infantry to attack. The combination of chariots and infantry made their movements a lot faster. Takuba Yuanye did not expect that the combination of chariots and infantry would be more than ten times more powerful than cavalry.
I was really in a bit of trouble this time, but when Li Cong's grenades arrived, there was no problem at all.
Things like grenades are definitely a rare and useful thing. On the battlefield of the Eastern Empire. After the first batch of 100,000 grenades were delivered, dozens of tanks were directly scrapped. Tens of thousands of people died directly from this weapon.
Below. The soldiers of the Eastern Empire didn't know how their lives were lost. They had already failed. I really hope that Li Cong can use these things as much as possible. Until three or four days have passed.
He still remembers the true situation of that day.
That day, more than fifty chariots suddenly appeared on the battlefield. I was dumbfounded at that time. How could there be so many chariots? The Eastern Empire's army has never been idle these days.
, they came again before some facilities on the front line were repaired? This speed is indeed a bit too fast. This speed makes Takuba Yuanye and the others feel troublesome. These people from the Eastern Empire are fighting now.
With the increase of his own men, he began to engage in wheel battles. Li Cong also expected such a thing. He had started to form a reserve force of three divisions a month ago. They had already arrived around here, but just now
They had not yet begun to have a clear understanding of the war when they entered the position. New recruits always encountered many more things on the battlefield than veterans. But at that time, Tuoba Yuanye had no choice. Seeing the three at the front.
A gun building is about to be captured. This is the first time such a thing has happened. If it is really captured, the blow to the soldiers will be severe.
At this most critical moment, the commanders of the newly reinforced 88th and 89th divisions jointly requested to go to war, and told Tuoba Yuanye that they had a very powerful secret weapon. At that time, Tuoba Yuanyegen would not believe that
Yes, it seems that the troops of the Eastern Empire are about to rush over. Although the entire defense line will not be lost, if the gun tower is really captured, it will be unacceptable both facially and psychologically. This will make the people on the entire defense line feel
It was very difficult, so under such conditions, Li Cong's two divisions went up, and the results they brought were seen by millions of troops on the front line.
A brigade of 100,000 people from the 88th Division was ordered to support the front line, but what depressed Takuba Yuanye was that they only passed two people in each gun tower. Damn, two hundred people in the past didn't have much effect. Two people can play a big role.
What kind of effect did it have? Just looking at the expression of the 88th Division Commander, these two people might have done something big. He was just waiting to see what was going on. Who knew that these two people in the past stopped the entire gun tower?
Due to the resistance of the soldiers, Tuoba Yuanye thought that this guy was going to surrender to the enemy and treason, but this was impossible. Li Cong also confessed when he left. This time they brought Li Cong's personal letter, whether it was
From any point of view, there is no possibility of rebellion, but the actions of these people really make me confused as to what is going on.
What happened next made him understand what was going on. These people waited for the chariot to approach before they started working. When the chariot was ten meters away from them, they would take out the top iron plate.
It was opened. At that time, when they were attacking, Takuba Haraha saw them throwing out a long tube-shaped thing in their hands. If some of the things inside entered the tank, they would explode. This thing's
The power is much more powerful than the black powder tied to the bow and arrow. Just throw a few of these things into the tank and the tank will be basically scrapped. Takuba Yuanye is also a master tactician, and he understands this very well.
It’s time to seize the opportunity. Since you are all infantry, we have cavalry. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry took advantage of this opportunity to kill directly. Since ancient times, the battle between cavalry and infantry can be known immediately.
The result was that the infantry were killed and they could not find their way to the north. It was the same this time. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were spared their lives and about 60,000 were captured. The war ended like that. In fact, if
If he could send his troops to pursue them further, he would probably achieve greater results.
Things like grenades immediately arrived in Tuoba Yuanye's hall. Tuoba Yuanye also threw a few such things. This guy can throw them thousands of meters away. Such things are really rare, and 89
The people of the division also have air troops. They will take this thing into the sky on an airship and bomb the enemy's positions, but the bombing effect is not very good. This thing is too light.
Throwing it from a height of 3 meters often results in a deviation of hundreds of meters from the ground. Therefore, if you want to blow up a target, you must use dozens of people to throw this thing non-stop, and the army below must be far away from your own army.
That's fine. If it's close, it might be able to reach you. Such a thing can definitely happen. Therefore, Takuba Haraha strictly prohibited this air force from dropping bombs at a distance from his own army. This is very unfair.
Safe things.
The Air Force is just a small test. As for the large-scale air strikes, the frontline officers are very much looking forward to it. But they all know that this thing may not become a reality. The main reason is
There are not many airships, and there are even fewer grenades. There are only 100,000 of them every day, which is too few for the front line. When faced with an attack, many soldiers can directly use five of their own.
After throwing it away, the effect is definitely the best when this thing is thrown out. This kind of thing cannot be completely blamed on them, and it has something to do with them. We have never fought such a war, and the emergence of grenades also makes
The Eastern Empire began to realize that the tens of thousands of tanks they spent a lot of money to manufacture may become useless. This thing can become nothing after being destroyed by a few grenades. Such a thing is really
It makes people helpless.
When the battlefield in the Eastern Empire slowly began to calm down, Li Cong's guests also arrived. The place where the Ax Gang was located really couldn't be considered a useful place. Everything here seemed to be in a novel, but of course it wasn't.
It was luxurious, but dilapidated. Hu Si didn't know who Li Cong wanted to use his living room to invite. When he saw Mr. Jia San, he was dumbfounded. The whole city knew what Li Cong had done. How could it happen in a blink of an eye?
They were invited here all the time. How could such a thing happen? Are they here to seek revenge? Impossible. How could they come here with gifts?
"Mr. Jia, you are really young. Your eyes are not very open, so you didn't recognize him as an old man. He looks pretty good these days. Do you have anything to do when you come here today?"
Young one?" Hu Si hurriedly greeted him. Although he still had doubts about whether Jia Sanye knew him, he couldn't be too stupid now. It would be better to do things quickly, that is, this
At that moment, Li Cong came out.
"Haha, it has nothing to do with you. I just want to use your place to talk to this gentleman." Jia Sanye became his original self again at this time. He was no longer as groveling as before. These things didn't seem to be the case.
Our Master Jia San should do the same thing. Now Mr. Jia San is truly a master. However, Li Cong’s eyes are not on this person. His eyes are on the person behind Jia San. Come to Li Cong.
I don't want to do anything to the Jia family, I just want to punish Jia San, but now that Xiao Ao is fine, and he is not so angry anymore, this cooperation may really have a chance, it is possible, just do it yourself
If you want to make the Jia family more powerful, it is best to be like the Linghu family. The royal family's own strength will be damaged when dealing with such a family. At that time, the Linghu boy will be put back. By then, the Eastern Empire
The inside is a mess.
"Guys, please take a seat. Usually when you walk on the street, you may not even look at the little one. Now I'm giving you face like this. It's so radiant. Everyone, please take a seat. Please take a seat. I'm going to
Go out and get some tea or something. If you guys need anything, just call me. Although my place is not very luxurious, it is still very safe to talk." This guy is also a discerning person, although he really wants to know.
What is going on, but now I understand that it is impossible to say it now. If these words are said, he will probably be even more despised. Li Cong has treated him kindly in the past two days because he is knowledgeable and knows
You know what you should and shouldn't say, and you clearly understand your own status. You are not qualified to serve as a follower.
"I guess this is the gentleman who has some issues with my cousin. My younger brother has been spoiled by the elders in the family since he was a child. He can do anything. Today I am his eldest brother.
I also came to apologize to my husband, and I hope that my husband will not blame me as my younger brother, but he has done a good thing, at least he allowed me to meet a handsome man like my husband." This Jia Zheng is also very good at talking.
He would sometimes say that his brother was not good at this or that, and the next time he would say that he had done a good deed. Li Cong would not refuse such a person. He felt very comfortable hearing this.
"It's nothing. Since things are said to be in the past, I'm not a person who dwells on the past. Besides, I am also a kid who made mistakes. It's his fault for going out on his own. My supervision is also responsible.
"What he said was very good. And he also gave me a heavy gift. Naturally, I have to give him a certain amount of face, otherwise this matter will not be able to proceed.
"Sir, it seems that you are not from our Eastern Empire?" Jia Zheng said thoughtfully. He had to get into the topic, and he couldn't waste time.
"Exactly, I am from the Southern Empire. The people below have some small business here, so I came to this place. Several of my family's ships came here for this reason. I am not afraid of your jokes.
Our family cannot be compared with yours. You are members of the imperial court, but we are...hehe, but people wandering on the sea, the gap is too far." Li Cong said a little embarrassed, and he also looked very good.
Yes, after all, the status of businessmen in this world is not high. Officials also look at businessmen with colored glasses, but only lower-level officials do things like that. For senior officials, they absolutely do not
They know how to do things this way, because they know very well that things cannot be done this way. Some big businessmen are great. The money in their hands can be heard in heaven. Many big businessmen have good relationships with the royal family, so
The young masters of the Jia family will not do anything inappropriate to the businessmen, they will all treat the businessmen as equals.
"Sir, what you said is wrong. In fact, my biggest wish in life is to be like him, wandering on the sea. When I was young, I helped my family discover an island on the sea. However, due to timing, I was
The family has been found, and now I am responsible for some things in the family. If possible, I really want to board the ship and go to sea with you." This guy said flatteringly. What such a person says is ridiculous.
Will you believe it and give up what you are doing and go to sea? There are all kinds of dangers at sea, how can you give up? This person is just talking about it, not true.
"Haha, going to sea is really not something that ordinary people can do. It will take more than a year of non-stop sailing from our empire to here. This still depends on smooth sailing. If not, it will probably take more time.
It’s longer. Because of the business with the Ax Gang, we can set off a batch of ships every month. I actually have my own reasons for coming to you. I want to expand this scale, but they
Their sales capabilities are a little behind, and now a dozen ships per batch is their limit. I can increase the number, but without such a partner, it will be difficult to do so," Li Cong said.
"Haha, this is a coincidence. Our Jia family has a good network throughout the empire. Let's put it this way, we have no problem with 300 ships per month. We can contract all the goods, but at this price
I don't think it can be the price you are trading with them now. It will be reduced by 30% for us. If we can't achieve this price, our profits will also be affected." Jia Zheng was also in the state at this time, and he came up.
The price was 30%, which was really difficult for Li Cong to achieve. The cost of a ship for Li Cong was about 00 taels of silver, but it was only the cost of goods. Each ship could hold about 2,500 boxes of goods. At this point
Bian taught the Ax Gang that a box cost 4,500 taels of silver. The items in it were all specialties from the other three empires. They were definitely not junk goods or anything like that. If it were to be reduced by 30%, it would cost more than 1,000 taels of silver. This
What Li Cong gave up was really too big. Although there would still be some profits, Li Cong has never been such a person.
"Forget it, I don't think we need to talk about this matter anymore. I still have something to do, so I won't send you two off. I was really wasting my time in the Eastern Empire." Li Cong nodded. At first, Jia Zheng responded with
This guy agreed very much with what he said. Who knew that at the end he would say, "What's going on?" How could he say such a thing? It was so unexpected.
"Wait... wait, what's going on? What is wrong? Sir, we can tell it. We have many things that can be discussed. If this matter is not handled this way, we can still
Are there other considerations? Price issues?" Jia Zheng didn't say anything, but Jia San spoke. At this time, Jia San was such a character, and he had to say all the things that cost him face. All Zhang said.
All face-saving matters must be done by Jia Zheng. This is the difference between a direct descendant and a concubine.
"Haha. That's right. It's not a matter of price, but a matter of quantity. The Ax Gang can have more than a dozen ships every month, what about you? Your Jia family is much more powerful than the Ax Gang. I think you
There should be more than a thousand, but now you can only offer three hundred. This number is really not pleasing to me, so I will just find another partner." The two brothers were dumbfounded.
, how could Li Cong have such a big appetite? If there are 1,000 per month, that would be 1,000 per year. This number is definitely a very huge number. If this number is really possible, it is estimated that now
One-third of the entire Eastern Empire's smuggled goods belong to them. Of course, Li Cong's goods are very good, which is also a very important aspect. It seems that some of the most expensive things are some fruits from the Northern Empire.
, every piece of fruit brought here requires twice the same weight of gold. Even so, there will still be many people coming.
"1,000? Sir, this number is really too huge. How powerful is Sir? It would take at least 15,000 large ships every year to have such a scale. If my estimate is good, every year
There must be at least forty sailors on the ship, and there must be 600,000 sailors alone. This is not a small number. Is your fleet bigger than this?" Jia Zheng spoke at this time, and he asked about
He really knows a lot about ships, and he knows a lot about these things. He was very professional when he said these words. Jia San on the side was confused when he heard them. What ship sailors? We are
He didn’t know anything at all. Anyway, he would just ask his cousin the question he wanted to ask when he saw something was wrong. This was his task. As for these core contents, the less he knew, the better. This circle should not
Come in, damn, 300 ships per month used to be a small amount, but now it’s over a thousand every month. If you taste the benefits, there will definitely be a larger number in the future. If you are investigated
If he came out, ten of his heads would not be enough to cut him off. At this moment, he really hoped that he could not take this matter. It would be better if he never met Li Cong.
"Mr. Jia, with such an appetite, how could I say such a thing if I didn't have such a thing? Most of the time, I don't speak big words. The first time you met me, naturally you didn't know This is worse than this. My transactions with the Ax Gang are all prepaid by them. It can be like this with yours. I can collect the payment when the goods arrive. Another thing is, as you know, we The banknotes from your Eastern Empire are not negotiable. I know you will definitely have some banknotes from the other three empires. You'd better give me that one. If you can't give me that one, you can only exchange them all. I paid for it in gold." Li Cong said with a smile. In this era, many people don't know the news about the other country. Very few people from the Eastern Empire have been to the other three empires. The Eastern Empire is all about gold and silver. The ratio is five to one, but in the other three empires it is ten to one. This fatal flaw alone can cause them to fail, and they don't know it yet.
Jia Zheng's thinking is a bit slow. He doesn't know how to do this at the moment. Why hasn't the quantity been agreed upon yet? Then we start talking about how to pay. If it's 1,000 ships a month.
The number is really quite large.
"As for the price, it is naturally less than what I gave to the Ax Gang. I will give them 4,500 taels of silver per box, and I will give you 4,000 taels of silver per box. Of course, you can also specify the goods for me, but in that case
We will discuss this price again, and we will definitely leave you with enough room for profit. Each item of the Ax Gang can make a profit of 300 to 500 taels. That is because of their sales channels. If I hadn’t
If you guess wrong, your channel can make a profit of 500 to 900 or even 1,000 taels of silver. Each time a thousand ships are shipped, the total is more than 2.5 million boxes. If you count 500 taels of silver each, you will have a profit of 500 taels of silver each month.
The profit of 1.25 billion silver, I believe this kind of profit is not much different from your current casino." Li Cong said with a smile, the price cannot be compromised, because Li Cong came from the transfer station.
It would be that fast. If the ship didn't have its own motor, it might really only be that fast. Now it's different from that time. If you can offer this price, you have to obey. Otherwise
It would be impossible.
"Sir, we are indeed very sincere in what you proposed. With the quantity and price you mentioned, I can't reach a deal with you now. I can only say that we really want to do this deal. Can we reach it in the future?"
I need to report this to the family." Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, this is indeed the case. The one Li Cong opened is indeed too big, and each order costs more than tens of billions of silver.
, I really don’t have that ability. It’s okay to use so much money for a short time, but I really can’t do that for a long time, and I can’t afford anything if something happens.
It can be seen at this time that Jia Zheng and Jia San are different. Jia San wants to do this business, but he cannot use his own money. Everyone in the Jia family knows that Jia San wants to do this business.
San's net worth is rich. Jia San knows that Jia Zheng is not yet independent. He has not participated in some family discussions for a long time. This guy does not dare to take such an idea now. Jia San thought for a while, forget it, he
It’s better not to stand out now, so as not to be remembered by this guy. This matter will not be good. If the family pursues it in the future, I will be fine. (To be continued...)
