"Make sure the other party really has the evidence???"
At this time, Fan Yongdou hesitated for a moment and looked at Wang Dengku in front of him.
"Fan Yongdou! What do you mean???"
When Wang Dengku heard Fan Yongdou's words, his expression suddenly became a little ugly. He looked at Fan Yongdou in front of him, with an angry light in his eyes.
"Niu Xiangguo came to question me personally about this matter! He made it very clear that they have sufficient evidence. We sold the gunpowder to the Qing Dynasty! We want to copy all the properties within the territory of King Chuang! Kill them. All Shanxi merchants in Shanxi
After hearing Wang Denku's words, Fan Yongdou showed hesitation in his eyes.
"Master! Shopkeeper Tian Da is also back..."
"Let him in!"
Fan Yongdou sighed slightly when he heard the butler's words.
Soon, Tian Lansheng also walked in. When he saw Wang Denku, his face did not change much.
"Since Shopkeeper Wang is here, I won't say anything more. It should be the same thing. Shopkeeper Fan, please give me accurate information on this matter! What should we do???
You know that if this matter is not handled properly, our entire Shanxi merchants will be in doom!"
Tian Lansheng said to Fan Yongdou with cold eyes.
Fan Yongdou looked at Tian Lansheng and Wang Denku in front of him with a wry smile on his face.
"Then...what did Niu Xiangguo say??"
Fan Yongdou hesitated for a moment and looked at Wang Dengku in front of him.
"Does King Chuang really want to kill all of us Shanxi merchants??"
"That's not true!"
Wang Dengku looked at Fan Yongdou in front of him with a wry smile in his eyes.
"We don't know what King Chuang means, but what Niu Xiangguo means is that he can plead with King Chuang, but we must meet a condition and be completely used by King Chuang!"
"This is impossible!"
Fan Yongdou directly rejected it.
"If we are allowed to be used by King Chuang, we might as well all defect to the Manchus!"
Fan Yongdou saw clearly that if he completely surrendered to King Chuang, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would definitely liquidate the assets of Shanxi merchants and massacre them.
Zhu Ming may not kill anyone, but if Shanxi merchants want to continue doing business there, it is basically impossible!
The best case scenario is that the assets of Shanxi merchants are swallowed up by those wealthy merchants in the Jiangnan area!
At that time, the entire power of Shanxi merchants will retreat crazily!
This is not a result that Fan Yongdou can accept at all!
"Don't worry!"
Wang Dengku pondered for a moment, looked at Fan Yongdou in front of him and said: "Those from Niu Xiangguo also understand the sufferings of our Shanxi merchants, and they don't want to see a completely disabled Shanxi merchant, which means nothing to them.
What Niu Xiangguo means is that we have to give them a vote of approval so that they can trust us! Otherwise... there is no point in talking about trust!"
"Certificate of Voting???"
Fan Yongdou was slightly stunned.
"good!"
Wang Dengku hesitated and looked at Fan Yongdou in front of him.
"According to Niu Xiangguo's intention, let us Shanxi merchants donate Zhangjiakou! Only after all our family members are in his hands can they fully trust us..."
Fan Yongdou: “…………”
After a moment of silence, Fan Yongdou looked at Tian Lansheng beside him.
"What's going on over there with Gu Junen?? What does he mean??"
"Almost! You can also help us settle this matter, but you have to submit a petition!"
Tian Lansheng hesitated for a moment and looked at Fan Yongdou in front of him.
"Then what do you two think??"
Fan Yongdou looked at the two people in front of him with a trace of hesitation in his eyes and asked.
"The territory of King Chuang is the traditional sphere of influence of our Shanxi merchants. Our foundation is very deep and we cannot give up. If we want Zhangjiakou, no, we cannot hand over all of ourselves.
But we can talk! Doing business is nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money when you get there!"
Tian Lansheng looked at Fan Yongdou in front of him and said.
Wang Dengku and Fan Yong were stunned for a moment, looking at Tian Lansheng in front of them with doubtful expressions in their eyes.
"How to talk??"
Fan Yongdou pondered for a moment and looked at Tian Lansheng in front of him.
"Follow him! At present, even if our lifeline is all in the hands of King Chuang, it actually means little to King Chuang. And in that case, the Manchus will not trust us even more.
In this case, our effectiveness in helping King Chuang will be much less effective. It is very simple for King Chuang to vote for a certificate. We only need to secretly hand over the Qing army's defense map to King Chuang. In this case, King Chuang will have it in his hands. With our handle, King Chuang can rest assured about us!"
Qing army defense map!
After hearing Tian Lansheng's words, Fan Yongdou and Wang Denku's expressions changed.
The two of them looked at Tian Lansheng in front of them with surprised expressions in their eyes.
This guy is so cruel!
I have to say that this is indeed a good way. Although by doing so, Shanxi merchants will basically have no way out, but now there is actually no way out!
Shanxi merchants will not allow themselves to stay in one place, no matter whether it is the capital or Shanxi, the loss will be too great!
The rest is easy to say, but the loss of ticket numbers in these markets can even destroy the reputation and reputation accumulated by Shanxi merchants!
There is no way to make up for the amount of money spent!
"That's it!"
After just thinking about it for a moment, Fan Yongdu said to Wang Denku and Tian Lansheng in front of him: "Let's do this! Try to smooth over the situation on King Chuang's side, at least don't let things develop out of control!"
"good!"
After hearing Fan Yongdou's words, Wang Denku and Tian Lansheng nodded.
Fan Yongdou felt a little relieved.
But there was still a trace of worry on his face. He looked at Wang Denku and Tian Lansheng in front of him and said with a bitter smile: "I just don't know what is going on with Zhu Ming right now. If Zhu Ming also knows about this... ………”
Fan Yongdou sighed slightly.
Wang Denku and Tian Lansheng looked at each other.
The expressions of both of them were very serious, and the eight Shanxi merchants were united in spirit.
The reason why Shanxi Merchants has been able to develop to its current level is because it is indivisible and can be regarded as a consortium. The eight major families each hold a part of the shares of this huge group.
The reason why Fan Yongdou's Fan family is considered the leader is because he occupies a relatively large number of shares, at least 20%!
The seven major families each hold a part of the other shares, and the difference is not particularly big.
If there is a problem with Shanxi merchants' business elsewhere, the whole situation will be affected.
"Forget it, let's wait until there is news from Wang Dayu and others! There's no point in thinking about it now!"
Fan Yongdou shook his head.
"You two, go back and talk to King Chuang and the others! Anyway, we had to have a good talk with King Chuang!"
