There are quite a few people.

"Okay, let's talk then." Li Cong said with a smile, and several people from the Mu family pulled the wooden stand on the ground and left. This guy is probably unlikely to appear in front of people in the future. This guy this time

He made a big mistake, and even people like Yang Chuan know it. Once you encounter such a scene, you can only go up to it. Even if you lose your arm or something, you can't lose face. This

The guy was so lucky, he immediately lost his face. This was really the first time that such a thing happened to him. Many children from aristocratic families also looked down on Mu Zhan at this time.

"Haha, the people of the Mu family are really quick to do things. Originally, I wanted to have dinner with Mr. Cao. But now it seems that they have beaten me to it." After the people of the Mu family left, the people around him were naturally not easy to deal with.

His eyes were always focused on Li Cong's side. After they left, Ouyang Qiu said, it seemed that this girl really had no intention of leaving.

"There's no need to bother with dinner. If Miss Ouyang has something to do, just say it directly. There's no need to talk in circles." Li Cong said with a smile. At this moment, his identity has been exposed. There is no need to hide it.

Already.

"Master Cao is indeed a cheerful person. The rumors outside are indeed true. Here's the thing. We know that the Yang family bought a large amount of grain from Master Cao. I wonder if Master Cao wants to follow him.

As for our idea of ​​​​business, the number of mines we control is definitely not much less than that of the Yang family. We have hundreds of millions of workers, and their food problem has always been a headache for us." Like the Yang family, this

The Ouyang family is also engaged in mineral trading, and their workers are all measured in hundreds of millions. There are no places with food around, so each of them can only be tired of running around for food.

They are naturally aware of the recent changes in the Yang family.

"Theoretically speaking, this matter should be no problem. Just walk across the Magnolia River from the Yang family's warehouse to your place. It will probably take two days to arrive, but this matter is not that simple. You and my father-in-law

There is a hostile relationship. You two are competitors. If I sell grain to you, you may be able to reduce your production costs a lot, and your prices will be much cheaper by then. Then wouldn't my father-in-law

You will lose a lot of opportunities. You must know that the gap between your two families is very small. A slight change may affect the current balance. I will go to my father-in-law's place to drink in the future.

, so this matter needs to be considered." Li Cong said with a smile. What he said was just a shirk. The relationship between the Yang family and Li Cong did not reach this level. It was just a few people from the Yang family at this table.

None of the young people understood this truth. They all thought that Li Cong really thought that way. They were all so moved. This brother-in-law was really a very good person.

"Master Cao is talking about business. The Yang family does have a competitive relationship with us. But as far as I know, the Yang family and your wife, Ms. Yang Qiu, seem to have had some unpleasant experiences. There is also a relationship between them.

It's not as good as you said, so I have reason to believe that the relationship between Mr. Cao and the Yang family is not very good. I don't know if I am right?" This woman's guess is somewhat reasonable, but this woman

After all, he is not a fairy, so he can't guess what Li Cong is thinking.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The relationship between brother-in-law and our Yang family is naturally good, so don't talk nonsense." Before Li Cong could say anything, Yang Chuan couldn't sit still. From the beginning, the Yang family felt that

The marriage was good. After it was confirmed, it could be said that everyone around him knew about it. Even His Majesty the Emperor in the capital sent someone to send something over.

"Yes, Miss Ouyang, don't talk nonsense. The relationship between my father-in-law and I has always been very good. If you continue to say these things, I think we can end it now. There is nothing more to say.

." Li Cong said, Ouyang Qiu also understood what Li Cong meant, but these boys didn't understand it very well. They thought that Li Cong really didn't want to talk to this woman. In fact, what Li Cong meant was that if Ouyang Qiu returned,

Without saying something substantive, let alone cooperation, it is impossible to continue the conversation. This matter is so cruel, and there is not so much time for talking nonsense.

"Young Masters, can you please avoid it? I want to tell Mr. Cao something about us. Don't worry, it won't take long. It will be over when the forging starts.

"What Ouyang Qiu said, the few boys around also wanted to show their gentlemanly demeanor, so they naturally left quickly, but even after sitting on the seats next to them, they still stared at this side.

.If they could read spoken English, they would probably know what is being discussed here, but it is a pity that they pretend that no one can understand this.

"Master Cao is really awesome. If you have a chance in the future, you must learn from Master Cao. People can't see clearly what Master Cao does. If Master Cao doesn't like to do things, he has to ask others to do them. This offends people."

The matter is naturally mine." Ouyang Qiu said with some resentment, but Li Cong didn't seem to care about this woman at all.

"This seems a bit wrong. Why don't you say that this is actually what you want to do? If I asked you for help, I would definitely not do such a thing, right?" Li Cong said,

This thing is defined directly.

"I want something from you? No no. Mr. Cao, I definitely don't mean that. What I want to say is a win-win plan for both of us. Mr. Cao can open a large number of his own grain stores, and

We can also have a lot of food to keep our miners full. How can we say who begs whom?" Ouyang Qiu didn't want to define this matter as such. If so, he would be somewhat short-changed.

Li Cong's.

"Haha. Miss Ouyang, you are really secretive in your work. Frankly speaking, if I had a subordinate like you, I would be very happy, but now we are on opposite sides, so I don't like it very much. My food store is in

It is constantly expanding. But it seems that it will take a long time to open to your Ouyang family's territory. We don't have that plan yet. As you can see, we are now slowly starting to expand around the entire Yandong Province.

If it penetrates outward, you are still a long way away." Li Cong said mercilessly, don't even think about it if you don't give me any benefits.

Even if Ouyang Qiu was well rested, Li Cong said this, and her face was a bit offended. She frowned. She had met a lot of people over the years, but people like Li Cong could definitely say

No, why is this man so ungraceful? He has to say everything by himself. Why don't you consider that you are a woman?

"Master Cao, of course we will give you the benefits. For example, if you open a grain store on our territory, we will help you take care of the land and government matters." Ouyang Qiu said his first thought

A chip.

However, Ouyang Qiu's first bargaining chip obviously has no appeal to Li Cong. You can tell from Li Cong's expression, "Miss Ouyang, this seems to be something you must do. If you don't take this

If you prepare it for me, why should I go to your territory to build a grain warehouse? If there is no grain warehouse, I think your food supply will also have problems of this kind. Even if you are ready, I still don't know.

I have to go to your place to open it." Li Cong said, this guy was really talking too much, and Ouyang Qiu finally lost the patience he had just now.

"Master Cao, if you want anything, just say it. There is no need to play with me like this." Ouyang Qiu said.

"Haha, Miss Ouyang misunderstood, I don't have that much courage. Although I, Mr. Cao, still have some small skills within the empire, I still have many shortcomings compared to the Ouyang family. How dare I do anything to you?

To do such a thing, actually, I still have some requirements here. Doing business is nothing more than these things. I think the inland water transportation on the Magnolia River seems to be controlled by some Jianghu gangs. I guess these Jianghu gangs have

There must be someone helping them behind the scenes. I wonder if Miss Ouyang knows about these things?" Li Cong said, the Yulan River is the longest river from the eastern part of the empire, with a length of more than 20,000 kilometers and a navigable mileage of up to

17,650 kilometers. The areas around Yandong Province use this river as the main transportation platform. However, not everyone can transport it. The main ones are controlled by a few gangs. According to Li Cong's intelligence,

One of these gangs is controlled by the Ouyang family.

"Master Cao turned out to be interested in this. I can tell Master Cao very clearly. The transportation on the Yulan River is managed by four families. Your father-in-law, the Yang family, is the weakest family, and then there is our Ouyang family. We are in charge of this."

There are about a quarter of them, and the Yang family is only one-sixth at most. Except for our two families, there are two other families. One of them is the Imperial Royal Family. The other is the Magician Guild. Naturally, the Golden Waterway is

Some powerful masters. If Mr. Cao wants to reach in, I don't think it's that simple." Ouyang Qiu said these big signs to tell Li Cong that the water here is very deep and it won't be so easy.

Everyone can see that they let you in over the years. The transportation business on the Yulan River is the most profitable, but many people have no way to come in. Li Cong's boat can only take the Yang family's road.

of.

"It doesn't matter. I'm very interested in this. If the Ouyang family is willing to let me join you for half of the shares in the transportation industry. I think it won't be a problem to open a grain store to you. I can give you whatever you want every year.

, and I won’t ask for your transportation shares in vain, I will convert them into silver and give them to you.” Finally getting to the point, Li Cong became more energetic now, and he knew that the woman in front of him should be

He can't make the decision. If he can make the decision in such a matter, it means that there is really no one in the Ouyang family. This woman is often just a microphone.

"Master Cao is really crazy. We will not agree to such conditions. Although the Ouyang family is their own foundation in the mine, the transportation business on the Yulan River is not so easy to get. At worst, we will continue to buy some valuables.

We will not give up our share of the transportation." Ouyang Qiu's words surprised Li Cong. He thought that this girl would definitely leave some room for maneuver, but he did not expect that this girl would be so direct.

He rejected himself. It seems that the profit from this transportation is really not small, otherwise he would not reject himself like that.

"If that's the case, then I think there's no need for us to continue talking, right?" Li Cong's expression was still the same as before, making it impossible to tell what Li Cong was thinking at this moment. It seemed like

There is no such thing.

Ouyang Qiu and Li Cong nodded and then went out. It seems that this matter is not that simple. Originally, Li Cong was thinking about transporting people on the Yulan River. Now it seems that the Ouyang family is not confused yet, no.

He would give this to himself. Suddenly Li Cong thought of the people from the Mu family just now. They must be interested in this. He doesn't have the ability to forcefully intervene, but the Mu family should have this

The ability of the Yang family will be there by then, which may put some pressure on the Ouyang family. The share of the royal family and the magician's union cannot be shaken at all. I don't have the ability to win from these two behemoths now.

The Yang family's own share of eating food is not very large to begin with, and it is also their own in-law family, so they cannot do things that excessively. As for the Ouyang family, I can only feel sorry for you.

"Brother-in-law, what did this woman come over to tell you?" Seeing that Ouyang Qiu had already left Li Cong's seat, and several other people had come back, Yang Hao, the most gossipy person, hadn't sat down yet.

, and started talking.

"Without saying anything, she asked me to go to their place to open a grain store, and I said I wanted their family's shipping shares on the Magnolia River. Who knew we couldn't reach an agreement, and we broke up." This is not a secret.

, even if I don’t say it, these guys may know it in other places later. It’s better to say it now. Maybe they will tell me something useful. After all, the Yang family is also on the Magnolia River.

As for shipping stock holders, they always have more news.

"My brother-in-law, what are you thinking about? Food is a problem that has troubled our mining families for a long time, but this is not absolute. As long as we have careful plans, these slaves can still have enough to eat.

Moreover, the life and death of slaves are not in the minds of the masters. What they consider most is whether they will die more or less every year. No one cares at all. This shipping stock is different, Magnolia

There is a limit on ships carrying more than 500 tons on the river. As far as I know, there may be less than 90,000 ships of more than 50 tons. The proportion is 10% for our Yang family, 9,000. The Ouyang family estimates

It is 1.5 times ours, which is 13,500, and the remaining ones belong to the royal family and the magician's union. As long as one is damaged, one will be replaced, but there will never be an increase. For thousands of years, every year

The increase of one hundred ships in a hundred years is still based on the original proportion, and the freight and other things are also very well regulated. They have never changed over the years. It is like a cornucopia.

, I don’t know much about their ships. The 9,000 of our Yang family can bring more than one billion silver income to the family every year, and theirs should be more." Yang Chuan is still very clear about this, mainly because

His brother is in charge of the family fleet.

A 500-ton ship should be considered the largest ship in the world. If it were larger than this, it would be impossible for the wind to move it. In Li Cong's opinion, they would not even account for 100% of the shipping value of this river.

None of them have been utilized. Many merchants on both sides of the strait are lining up hoping to use this river for transportation. If they can get involved, the profits will definitely be very large. Now it seems that I really don’t have that opportunity.

Well, none of these four major families can be shaken by me. Seeing such an opportunity to make a fortune disappear right before my eyes makes me feel really uncomfortable.

"Brother-in-law, isn't your transportation provided for you by our family? Why do you need someone from Ouyang's family?" Yang Hao said while eating the snacks on the table. In his opinion, Li Cong's move was unnecessary.

, there aren’t a lot of things shipped every year, so why bother with other people’s fleets? They won’t give it to you even if you really like it.

"Haha, no one said that when you have a lot of power, don't you want to get involved in a profitable business? It seems that I still have to talk to my family members. They probably won't have any business in the future.

"Li Cong said with a smile, "No one at the table knows what this brother-in-law's idea is. You only have 9,000 ships. How can others not be as many as you? Isn't this nonsense? If you like this work, welcome
