son-in-law

Chapter 193 12 million

According to literature records, from the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, people stored winter ice in cellars. After sealing, the ice can be stored for a long time.

In summer, take out the ice and use it yourself or sell it.

In the Liang Dynasty, ice could be bought in almost every square market.

At the beginning of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.It was a windless day, and the princess's house was as hot as a steamer.On a whim, Tang Linger asked someone to bring a water basin, put some ice cubes, and put her feet in the water basin. At this moment, she looked very comfortable.

To say that Tang Linger is actually only 19 years old, no matter how calm and dignified she is in front of people, but on a young face, she will always see some characteristics that only belong to youth from time to time.For example, now, she feels that the method she came up with is very good, so she looks a little proud, and even happily suggests that Wang Xun also soak his feet like this.

For Wang Xun, whose forehead was covered with sweat, it couldn't have been better.So she was not polite, and sat on the edge of the couch, soaking her feet.

Maids like Wang Xun and Lin Wan who have been growing up with Tang Ling'er have an incomparable status in the young master's heart.No matter how smart and well-behaved the later maids were, they could not get this kind of sisterly treatment.Because they couldn't enter the little master's childhood impression.

But not long after, Hu Rong came upstairs and told them to stop this practice immediately.Hu Rong said that women are weak, and soaking their feet in this way will cause cold air.The cold air rushes to the internal organs along the meridians on the feet, causing stasis, cold and dampness.

When Su Yu went upstairs, Wang Xun was wiping Tang Linger's feet.

"What's the matter with Jinfeng?" Tang Linger subconsciously withdrew her feet.

Su Yu found a place to sit down by himself: "The paper maker will negotiate."

Su Yu asked Tang Linger how she planned to save the situation.Tang Ling'er said that Meng Sixun probably didn't really want to kick the Tang family out.It was just that he and Tang Kuan were both angry at the time, that's why they said those cruel words.As long as we talk to Meng Sixun again, the situation should be saved.

How to talk to Meng Sixun, Tang Linger made two plans.

The first is to talk about "cost sharing". The six chaebols simply put their money together.Then Liu used the money to receive the goods.As for which warehouse to put it in, it doesn't matter.However, in order to prevent someone from slacking off, the storage fee should still be calculated.Moreover, the goods stocked by each store before must belong to the original store.It cannot be taken out and shared equally.

If this plan fails, Tang Linger will show his hole card.At that time, the Tang family will no longer receive paper, but the Tang family's own paper mill will continue to produce, and the paper maker association will not be able to interfere.If even Meng Sixun can't agree to this point, then there is no need for the Tang family to stay in the chamber of commerce.

Su Yu thought for a while: "I'm worried that Meng Sixun will make more progress. If I were him, if you came to me on your own initiative, I would ask for the net profit to be shared equally."

Tang Ling'er was expressionless: "Don't you think that's too much?"

Su Yu smiled bitterly: "Hasn't Meng Sixun always been too much?"

Tang Linger gave a rare smile: "Then what can you do?"

Su Yu shook his head and said: "There is no good way. Meng Sixun is an eagle. To deal with people like him, you must either subdue him or submit to him. Otherwise, we cannot coexist."

Tang Linger lowered her head, she seemed to be fiddling with some small object in her hand.But she didn't really want Su Yu to see it, and she seemed to be covering it up deliberately.Su Yu was a little curious, but he wouldn't stretch his neck to look at it for fun.

Tang Ling'er raised her head: "The Tang family and the Meng family compete in all aspects. After fighting back and forth, they finally found a balance point and then maintained it. Before Meng Sixun, the financial power holders of the Meng family often changed. Stabilize. In my opinion, he is quite reasonable and capable. There are now [-] large chambers of commerce in Luoyang City, half of which were founded by Meng Sixun. He is very influential in the business world. Prestige, if we want to subdue him, it may be impossible. Do you have any other methods?"

Su Yu waved his hand: [Actually, we don't need to do all kinds of business, as long as there are a few pillar industries that can stand firm, that's enough.After all, there is no war now, and the economy in Chang'an is recovering.After Chang'an's economy improved, the 15 Shence Army no longer needed subsidies from Luoyang.

In other words, our rigid demand is nothing more than to feed the 1 people in Qinghuafang.There is a large factory to support them.There are one or two large factories to defuse risks, and some money can be spared to pay off debts.So we don't necessarily have to look at Meng Sixun's face when we do business.

If you go to see him this time, you can tell him what I said.Finally, you must add that after we leave the Chamber of Commerce, we can compete in the paper industry.See who can drag whom down.Emphasize to him that we are challenging the entire industry. 】

Tang Linger stared at Su Yu: "Are you so sure?"

Su Yu nodded and said: "I can use the cost advantage to spend with them. This kind of war of attrition, the big chaebols can bear it, and they can also withdraw, but other businessmen in the chamber of commerce can't bear it. I think they will go collectively in time. Find Meng Sixun to discuss countermeasures. If Meng Sixun does not want his prestige to be damaged, he will take the initiative to come to you at that time."

In fact, Su Yu didn't want to initiate this business war at all, because the Tang family had hoarded too much paper now.A lot of money could have been made from these papers, but if they broke up now, the money would not be earned.That being the case, Su Yu still said this, in fact, to increase Tang Linger's confidence, and not to be overwhelmed by Meng Sixun when negotiating.

Su Yu also thought that Meng Sixun didn't want to start a business war, at least not at this juncture.After all, the Meng family also hoards paper, and the Meng family also has a complicated family environment.As the chief financial officer, Meng Sixun has a lot of pressure on his shoulders.If the performance is not good, maybe it will be taken down by the Meng Family Presbyterian Association.

No one wants to see a situation where both sides suffer, let alone a win-win situation.

Perhaps Tang Kuan also saw this, so he dared to challenge Meng Sixun's authority in the chamber of commerce. As a result, the two hawks met and messed up the matter.

Tang Ling'er lowered her head and fiddled with the things in her hands again, before saying after a while: "Why don't you go talk to Meng Sixun."

Su Yu thought for a while: "Yes, but I have a request."

Tang Linger raised her head: "Speak."

Su Yu smiled ashamedly: "If I succeed in negotiating with Meng Sixun, can I help the Su family repay part of the debt when the goods are shipped in the future?"

Tang Ling'er lowered her head and fiddled with the things in her hands again, and asked in a low voice, "How much does the Su family owe?"

Su Yu felt that there was a connection, and hurriedly said: "I don't know very well. Third Uncle never told me the exact number. The last time I heard him mention it was three years ago. At that time, Third Uncle gestured twelve times at me. .I thought it was twelve million, but he told me a hundred times."

"12 billion?" Tang Linger was surprised.

Su Yu shrugged helplessly.

Tang Ling'er frowned, then suddenly relieved, and continued to fiddle with the things in her hand with her head down: "Who does the Su family owe money to, please make a list for me."

"Are you going to...?"

"I plan to ask the Washington state government to talk to those creditors and not to collect debts for the time being."

Hearing these words, Su Yu stood up, cursed in his heart and left.

If you say that this Tang family is really used to being arrogant, they seem to be gangsters in everything they do.Repaying debts has always been one of Su Yu's bottom lines, it's a matter of principle.But Tang Ling'er came up with such a method, which obviously violated Su Yu's original intention.If you really do that, it will only make the Su family's reputation worse and worse.Worse than third uncle's temper.

Until he left, Su Yu didn't see clearly what Tang Linger was fiddling with.
