Li Zhen smiled and said: "Gu Lina, it's interesting that you want to do business with me."
Gu Lina laughed twice and said: "Aliguo said that there are people in the court who are good at being officials. This sentence makes sense. But there are people in the officialdom who are good at doing business. As long as the general is willing to help me, everyone can make money.
.”
“Collusion between government and businessmen!”
Li Zhen sneered twice, knowing Gu Lina's purpose.
However, Li Zhen patiently asked, "What is Miss Gu Lina going to do?"
Gu Lina sat up straight and immediately replied: "I want to buy tea, silk, ceramics and other utensils on a large scale, but the channels in Shanghai are controlled by big businessmen, so it is difficult for me to get involved. Ailiguo and Aitang are involved, and even Shanghai
Yang Fang, a big businessman, is also involved and is already the spokesperson of Britain and France in Shanghai."
After a pause, Gu Lina said in a deep voice: "I need the general's assistance. I hope the general can suppress Yang Fang and control the rest of the merchants. As long as I monopolize Shanghai's tea, silk and other businesses, the general can also share part of the profits."
"hiss!"
Li Zhen took a deep breath and secretly said that Gu Lina had a great tone.
This woman is no ordinary person.
Li Zhen had already sent someone to find out about Yangfang's situation. He was the richest man in Shanghai. He was supported by Aliguo and Aitang. He not only bought and sold silk, tea and other items, but also participated in opium trafficking, thus making a lot of money.
Gu Lina wants to replace her, and Li Zhen is the gun in Gu Lina's hand.
Once Li Zhen takes action, all Shanghai businessmen will be offended. Especially since Yang Fang is the leader of Shanghai businessmen and is supported by Aliguo and Aitang, Li Zhen will encounter great resistance if he wants to overthrow Yang Fang and control Shanghai.
Once it is not handled properly, the rebound force can be enough to overthrow Li Zhen, which is an extremely dangerous thing.
Li Zhen wanted to understand, but he was a little confused.
Gu Lina knew how difficult this matter was, and she still had the confidence to speak out. How could she have any basis for it? Li Zhen's eyes were extremely aggressive, and he wandered back and forth over Gu Lina's body, making Gu Lina very uncomfortable. But Li Zhen said
: "It's too difficult for you to monopolize Shanghai's tea, silk and other markets. I'm sorry that I can't do anything about it."
Gu Lina smiled and said: "General, I heard someone say an old saying, which is called 'A beauty is a beauty'. I asked the general for help. Can't the general be angry? I hope the general will help me out of justice."
Li Zhen sneered twice and said: "Gu Lina, you are really self-righteous, are you emotional again?" In response to Gu Lina's coquettishness, Li Zhen was rude and cunning when he fought back, and had no sympathy for her.
.
"You, you, you are shameless!"
Gu Lina was so angry that her delicate body trembled, and she gave Li Zhen a vicious look.
However, when she looked at Li Zhen's strong body and listened to the provocative words, she was really a little moved. But after all, Gu Lina was not a lustful woman, but a strong woman who focused on her career. Gu Lina quickly calmed down and said,
Said: "General, I have received a very important news, which is very important to the general. As long as the general agrees to my request, I will tell the general."
Li Zhen said nonchalantly: "Don't show off, just tell me if you have any news."
Gu Lina said: "The general agrees to my request, and I will tell you frankly."
Li Zhen chuckled and said, "Who knows what your news is? What if it's your privacy? I'm not interested." The two seemed to be talking, but they were also negotiating, and Li Zhen was absolutely uncompromising.
Gu Lina was so angry that she loudly said: "I came to see the general to achieve cooperation. I don't want to argue with the general. Please be serious, general, and don't talk about him."
Li Zhen asked: "Am I not serious enough?"
After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "On the contrary, Your Excellency, after entering the house, you twisted your butt to seduce me, so that you can give me the reward last time, and act coquettishly everywhere. Is Mrs. Gu Lina serious?"
Gu Lina knew that Li Zhen did this on purpose, so she changed the topic and said: "To show my sincerity, I will reveal something. The news is related to Aliguo and Aitang, and they have already started to prepare to deal with you."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "My relationship with the two is not good. They are the only ones in Shanghai who can deal with me."
Gu Lina asked again: "Don't the generals want to know what they are going to do?"
Li Zhen said: "I would like to hear the details!"
Seeing that Li Zhen's interest was aroused, Gu Lina immediately avoided talking and said, "As long as the general is willing to help, I will tell the general the detailed situation. How about it?"
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "First tell me what the situation is."
Gu Lina frowned and said: "Your Majesty General, don't you want to know the plans of Aliguo and Aitang?"
Li Zhen waved his hand and said impatiently: "Miss Gu Lina, if you don't want to tell me, please go back. However, I still thank you for reminding me that there is a conspiracy between Aliguo and Aitang."
Gu Lina felt discouraged for a while, Li Zhen was really invulnerable to fire and water!
Gu Lina was silent for a moment and said: "To show my sincerity, I told the news to the general, hoping that the general would not break his promise. Aliguo and Aitang are already preparing to escort the opium into Shanghai and sell it in Shanghai."
After a pause, Gu Lina continued: "The country of Ali wants to use this to test the general. If the general turns a blind eye and ignores the opium matter, the country of Ali will not quarrel with the general and will try its best to win over the general. If
The general discovered opium, but he confiscated it and destroyed it like Lin Zexu. Aliguo and Aitang will definitely target the general and will not maintain the current status quo."
Li Zhen took a deep breath and showed a solemn expression.
By doing this, Aliguo and Aitang forced Li Zhen to express his position, and they must have a clear position.
Li Zhen pondered in his mind and considered ways to deal with A Liguo.
Li Zhen was the new Jiangsu Customs Supervisor, responsible for Shanghai's customs duties, and had the authority to inspect the goods of British merchant ships. Since opium came from Britain and France, Li Zhen could not ignore it or allow opium to flow from Shanghai to China.
Gu Lina said: "Your Majesty General, I told you confidential information, what were the previous conditions?"
Li Zhen did not ask about Gu Lina's channels, but asked: "Are you in the opium business?"
Gu Lina shook her head, with a bitter smile on her face, and said in a deep voice: "My husband died of illness in middle age because he took too much opium. I do silk, tea and other businesses, and I also do arms trading."
Li Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up and he became interested.
Arms trade!
This thing is his urgent need right now.
Li Zhen said: "To be honest with Miss Gu Lina, I made thousands of guns and nearly a million rounds of ammunition by dealing with Aitang and Aliguo. There is still a lot of inventory in the warehouse. But once the war comes, the ammunition will definitely be
It will be exhausted. Miss sells arms, and we can indeed cooperate. I will open up the trade route in Shanghai for you, so that Miss can buy silk, tea, etc. from Shanghai, and Miss will then sell the weapons to me, how about that?"
Gu Lina's eyes were sparkling and her face was filled with crystal brilliance.
By buying tea, silk and ceramics at low prices and then selling them to British businessmen at high prices, Gu Lina was able to make a fortune. Moreover, Gu Lina could also sell weapons and sell them to Li Zhen at high prices.
Over and over again, Gu Lina will definitely make a lot of money.
