The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 64

[64.Chapter 64 Rich family wealth]

The merchant got off the carriage, immediately saluted Fang Jifan, and said humbly: “But Mr. Fang of Nanhe’s uncle’s family?”

The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were very interested in Fang Jifan’s succession. Of course, they were mainly interested in him. Fang Jifan was more interested in the money from his family, and he was surprised. Recently, he heard that this boy had become a money-spreading boy again, but he didn’t know where the money came from. He was not sure, and he could… fool this fool again.

So the two brothers were shameless and refused to leave.

Fang Jifan looked at the person who came. At this time, the sky was still full of snow and dark clouds were rolling. As soon as he got out of the car, his head was immediately covered with a thin layer of snow. After bowing to Fang Jifan, he said again: “I’m from Sihai Trading Company Deng Tong wants to discuss business with Mr. Fang. “

Sihai Trading Company. “

Fang Jifan probably still looked very unconcerned.

But the Zhang brothers looked at each other, and they were even more interested. Everyone knew that Sihai Trading Company was the leader in Beijing. They dealt in leather goods and silk, and they were not only in the capital, but also in Nanjing and Suzhou. There are branches in Hangzhou and all famous places, and they even run banks. As for this man named Deng Tong, he is the manager of the business bank in name, but everyone knows that he can do this kind of business. Da, the people behind this trading company are by no means just simple businessmen. There have been speculations in the market that Sihai Trading Company may be related to Duke Wei of Nanjing garrison and Duke Ding of the capital.

Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong are two branches of King Xu Da of Zhongshan. They have been favored by the country for generations. They are one family and two Dukes. They can be called the top wealthy family in the world.

Even Fang Jifan’s unreliable British uncle Zhang Mao was a few blocks behind the Xu family, which had a deep foundation.

There are even rumors that there may be a certain prince behind Sihai Trading Company. In short, everyone knows that Sihai Trading Company has great financial resources and magical powers, and the Zhang family brothers do not dare to offend them easily.

But…this Sihai Trading Company is looking for Fang Jifan to do business?

Deng Tong smiled and said: “Master Fang, it’s very windy and snowy here. Why don’t you find a quiet place where you and I can have a good talk?”

Fang Jifan shook his head: “I don’t have time, so let’s talk here.”

In fact, if we don’t talk, Fang Jifan also Know what the other person wants to talk about.

The Zhang brothers were afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, so even if they were willing to talk privately, they all said: “Yes, let me say it here, you can’t let the successor be fooled by you. The successor calls the queen his aunt, and we are the queen.” My brother, this successor is our nephew, and our Zhang family will never allow anyone to treat our nephew as an idiot.” Zhang Heling seemed to think that the threat was not enough, and added a stronger tone: “Never allow it!”

The implication is, Fang Jifan is the favorite of our Zhang family. Only our Zhang family brothers are allowed to cheat. If anyone dares to take advantage of him, we, the Zhang family, will fight with him.

I don’t regard myself as an outsider at all.

Deng Tong frowned slightly, glanced at Fang Jifan, and said: “Sihai Trading Company wants to buy the land owned by Mr. Fang in Xishan.”

With this opening, the Zhang brothers were stunned.

Their eyes widened. Are they crazy? What is there to buy in that wasteland?

Deng Tong paid attention to the changes in Fang Jifan’s expression at all times, and saw that the prodigal son looked indifferent: “We have inquired, Mr. Fang only holds half of the shares of Xishan, but it does not matter, Sihai Trading Company, as long as this half, is willing to sell silver. One million taels, Mr. Fang, are you interested? “

One million taels…

The expressions of the Zhang brothers froze, especially Zhang Heling, who felt a little confused.

What’s going on? What’s going on? Did I hear it wrong, or are people in this world crazy?

Zhang Heling suddenly felt a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

It hurts…it doesn’t hurt yet, it’s just that I’m suffocating.

That piece of land was sold to Fang Jifan for 80,000 taels of silver!

Zhang Yanling looked left and right, with a smile on her face, but more of a look of disbelief, thinking you were kidding me.

Fang Jifan, on the other hand, was very straightforward. Are you kidding me? You want to buy such a huge golden mountain for one million taels?

However, Fang Jifan admired the energy of Sihai Trading Company. Fang Jifan showed the anthracite coal in Chongwen Palace, and then Sihai Trading Company found it. From this, it can be seen that the energy of Sihai Trading Company is amazing. They must have eyes and ears in the palace, and… Obviously… they had noticed the situation of Xishan a long time ago, and after corroborating the information obtained from the palace, they judged the value of Xishan as quickly as possible.

Fang Jifan rolled his eyes at Deng Tong: “I won’t sell it!”

It’s very simple. I have money, but I can’t make it myself. Why should I sell it to you? Who are you? Is the top wealthy family amazing?

But Deng Tong still had a smile on his face, not depressed at all, and without blinking, he made a decision immediately: “Then, three million taels, three million taels to acquire the wasteland in Xishan. Of course, Sihai Commercial Bank cannot afford so much cash.” Silver, Young Master Fang also knows this, but Sihai Commercial Bank has plenty of land and fertile farmland, as well as shops in Beijing, Nanjing, and even Suzhou and Hangzhou. As long as Young Master nods, it can be converted immediately. “

Three… three million! …

Three million…just for the land in Xishan?

Zhang Heling clicked, his legs became weak, and he knelt upright in the snow. He muttered, but found that his throat was blocked and he could not make a sound, so his face turned red.

Zhang Yanling blinked, as if to say, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion.

Fang Jifan shook his head: “What are you talking about? If you don’t sell it, you won’t sell it!”

No sale!

Zhang Heling felt like he was going to pee. He suddenly remembered that this land seemed to belong to his family, Xishan… wasteland… wasn’t this the Zhang family’s land?

Deng Tong just frowned slightly. Instead of being angry, he still looked regretful: “What about four million? Four million taels is already the highest price offered by a villain. No matter how high it is, the villain can’t make the decision. “

This is a huge business opportunity. Sihai Commercial Bank will not fail to understand that as the top business organization, their acumen is definitely the top of this era, so they must do it at all costs.”

Fang Jifan had no intention of selling at all: “If you don’t want to sell, I won’t sell. I won’t sell for five million taels of silver. Let’s go.”

Deng Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He obviously saw that Fang Jifan had made up his mind. As for forcing Fang Jifan Selling land is obviously unrealistic. After all, Fang Jifan is in partnership with the palace. He refuses to sell. Sihai Trading Company has no way to do it. Even if the influence of the palace is removed, Nanhe’s Mansion is not an ordinary people’s house. The person behind Shangsihai Trading Company is also someone who cannot be robbed by force.

He had no choice but to regretfully hand over the money to his successor: “Actually, even five million taels of silver is not negotiable, but it is too difficult to raise such a huge amount, but Sihai Trading Company is not completely unable to raise it.” After all, the land and fields of the Sihai Trading Company, as well as the shops in various places, as well as the goods in the warehouse, can be pieced together here and there. However, since the young master has made up his mind, the villain will not be able to force others to do anything. If the young master changes his mind at any time, he can come to find the villain, and the villain will definitely give the young master a more reasonable price. Okay, let’s say goodbye.”

He did not hesitate, bowed and hurriedly got into the carriage with a smile on his face. With a look of regret.

Five million taels of silver is not non-negotiable…

Zhang Heling knelt down in the snow blankly, his eyes blank. This land… belongs to the Zhang family. The Zhang family was originally taken advantage of by Fang Jifan. He bought it for ten thousand taels of silver, and in the blink of an eye, its value increased sixty times. He suddenly felt that someone was gouging out his heart. It hurt, it hurt.

Zhang Yanling’s eyes widened. He was more direct, as if someone had robbed him of his money.

Fang Jifan smiled and glanced at the two petrified men in the snow: “Two uncles…”

How thick-skinned do you have to be to call someone uncle?

Fang Jifan continued to laugh and said: “I…I’m leaving…”

At this moment, hot tears rolled down the corners of Zhang Heling’s eyes, melting away the stiffness on his face that had been blown by the wind and snow. These tears were actually a restraint Unable to stop, it was like a broken bead falling down.

Zhang Yanling opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn’t know what to say. He watched Fang Jifan take that heroic step, almost telling people that Master Fang was walking sideways. Then, Fang Jifan’s figure, Gradually disappeared into the snow.

The snowflakes danced wildly, the mist rose, and the cold streets were like a dream. It seemed that there were only two Zhang brothers between heaven and earth. They were like sculptures, one kneeling and the other standing bent. For a long time, Zhang Yanling’s lips Shivering, he put a trembling hand on his brother’s shoulder: “Brother, have we been fooled?”
