Chapter 424 Hunter Prey and Traps

"I don't know what property Brother Zheng is using as collateral?"

Xiu Zhiming smiled and spoke in a calm tone, but he was very happy in his heart.

There is a feeling of joy, it feels like a hunter who has set up a trap, hiding in the woods and quietly watching the prey walking towards the trap step by step.

There is excitement, joy, and anticipation!
Zheng Biyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Xiu is a straightforward person, so Zheng will not hesitate. Let's put it this way, but Mr. Xiu is interested in any property under Zheng's name. There is no other word, you can give it to Xiu Daguan as a mortgage!"

"Is that so?" Xiu Zhiming frowned, then shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't know what property Brother Zheng has..."

I don't know you well, I just know that there is someone like you, your industry, how do I know?

This is Xiu Zhiming's statement!
At the same time, it is also telling Zheng Biyuan that we are not acquaintances, and you are the one who begged me. You should know what to do, right?
Sure enough, Zheng Biyuan frowned, and then listed some of his properties: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiu, the property under Mr. Zheng's name, includes the Quanzhou Wharf, three tea gardens, and some workshops. Quanzhou wharf repair officials can see it!"

Xiu Zhiming sneered when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Zheng is joking, isn't he? After the sea ban by the imperial court, what business can there be at the wharf in Quanzhou?"

"This..." Zheng Biyuan wiped his sweat, and then said: "It's not that there is no business at all, more or less, Quanzhou can still earn some money every year. Although the imperial court banned the sea, those fishermen did not. After all, they still want live!"

What Zheng Biyuan means is that there are policies above and countermeasures below, and the imperial court bans the sea, but it will not prohibit fishermen from going to sea!This also gave a sea merchant the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.

Otherwise, where did you fisherman get the capital to go out to sea from Quanzhou port, and pay taxes to the Zheng family for nothing?

Fujian has hundreds of miles and thousands of miles of coastline, where can't you go to sea?
Xiu Zhiming understood Zheng Biyuan's meaning, he thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Zheng, let's do this! Quanzhou Port, it's a mortgage, I don't want to do anything else, just want to make friends! After the matter is completed, Zhejiang merchants I will give you our shares, and I don’t want the port, you just have to return the silver to me!”

Zheng Biyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, but calmed down after a while!
Who is sitting opposite?

That's the richest man in the world!

To be able to make friends with him, naturally there are many friends and multiple paths, besides, with the name of Xiu coming to mix, are you afraid of Xiao Mo?

It is said that Xiu's family in Suzhou is still a relative of the emperor!

So Zheng Biyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Xiu is polite. It is my honor to be able to make friends with this official. The shares of the Shen County Chamber of Commerce are indeed of great use to me. How about it... as long as Xiu If the officials can help to take down the shares of the Zhejiang merchants, this Quanzhou port should be regarded as a deal with the officials Xiu!"

Lao Wang of Huzhou said with a smile: "Exchange a Quanzhou port with no profit for the shares of Shen County Chamber of Commerce, which is full of gold. President Zheng, you can only make money from this business!"

"Uncle Wang!" Xiu Zhiming shouted at Old Wang, and then said to Zheng Biyuan, who had an ugly face, "Hehe... Brother Zheng, please speak quickly, Uncle Wang, please don't look outside!"

What can Zheng Biyuan say?I have the reputation of asking for Xiu, besides, I have also mentioned the name of Xiu, the shopkeeper Wang Da is a quick talker...

So Zheng Biyuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "I still have two shipyards in Quanzhou, how about using them as collateral?"

After the sea ban, the shipyard actually had no business, and the profit was not as good as that of Quanzhou port!Although Zheng Biyuan was reluctant to part with the shipyard and the port, after all, the Zheng family started their business by relying on these two industries at that time, but now and then, after the sea ban, these two industries are on the verge of bankruptcy, so they simply took this opportunity to merge In the name of Xiu!
Xiu Zhiming thought for a while, and then said: "Okay! Let's treat it as a friend made by Brother Zheng. I will keep the shipyard and port for Brother Zheng first, and return them to Zheng after the Shen County Chamber of Commerce is resolved. Brother!"

Zheng Biyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and then he stood up and said to Xiu Zhiming: "Mr. Xiu is indeed a righteous person. Zheng is very grateful, so I am going to meet the Zhejiang merchants!"

"Brother Zheng!" Xiu Zhiming looked at Zheng Biyuan amusedly, and then said, "It's getting late now, so don't worry about it at this moment, right?"

Old Wang of Huzhou also said: "That's right, not to mention that President Zheng has not made an agreement with my employer, even if President Zheng came to Fuyuan Building today, I'm afraid there are still some things he hasn't done?"

It was only then that Zheng Biyuan remembered that he had come to talk to Lao Wang of Huzhou about lime and cotton business.

"Sorry..." Zheng Biyuan shook his head, and then said, "I forgot everything when I saw Mr. Xiu!"

Xiu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Uncle Wang, order the food to be served, let's chat while eating!"

Lao Wang nodded and called the attendants outside the door to say hello. Not long after, people came upstairs with dishes and wine.

"Please……"

"Please!"

Zheng Biyuan, Xiu Zhiming, and Lao Wang sat on the big table by the window, and then began to eat.

Drinking first, the three of them poured a full cup and finished drinking, but it was not enough!
The ancients paid attention to drinking for three rounds. Drinking, what is drinking if you don't drink to your heart's content?
So businessmen have always had a good capacity for alcohol, such as Xiu Zhiming, or... Zheng Biyuan!

After Hexiu's name and Huzhou Old Wang drank three cups each, Zheng Biyuan's face turned slightly rosy, and then he said with a smile: "When I saw a high-ranking official, I forgot about the business. Zheng has lost his composure!"

Xiu Zhiming said: "Brother Zheng is serious, what is his name?"

Zheng Biyuan said: "When I met Mr. Xiu today, it was like a dream, and Mr. Xiu is also a straightforward person, so Zheng just said it straight!"

Turning his head, Zheng Biyuan looked at shopkeeper Wang Da and said, "Shopkeeper Wang Da, the [-] carts of lime ordered earlier are all right...but the cotton is not all in place! Hehe... shopkeeper Wang Da also knows that this Xiao Mo has just tried to grow cotton, how can there be such a high yield?"

Huzhou Old Wang took a look at Xiu Zhiming when he heard the words, Zheng Biyuan also saw this action, Zheng Biyuan laughed again: "Hehe... My Dao Wang's shopkeeper is the owner of the bank, I want this lime... I guess it's for painting the walls or something, But this cotton has always been puzzled, so it turns out...the one who really wants cotton is the Cloth Shop of Da Guanren!"

Xiu Zhiming smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Zheng is right!"
