Chapter 32 in full swing

In Lin Chunhong's view, you only need to ensure that your financial strength is stronger than Huiwang's troops, and this timber merchant war will definitely win completely. To be strong, there are only two ways: weaken the other party's financial strength; enhance your financial strength.

To enhance his financial strength, Lin Chunhong had already decided to sell some of the shares of Yiling Warehouse and get a large amount of cash in the short term. Lin Chunhong had long wanted to put the shares of the warehouse into practice. After all, putting a golden ball in Yiling City would not have the chance to start. Sooner or later, he would become jealous and hate him. Unfortunately, his subordinates could not make a mistake. This time, he took advantage of the pressure of Prince Hui's mansion to accomplish this matter, which was a killing of two birds with one stone.

As for weakening the other party's financial strength, Lin Chunhong found inspiration from the news Wang Yi was inquiring. It is reported that King Hui was greedy and got the salt intent through various channels, and then sold it to the merchants below at a high price. He made tens of thousands of taels of silver after replacing it. Lin Chunhong planned to get some salt intent and let the Zhongren sell it to King Hui. King Hui was very excited to sell it to Chen He and Fu Jiahe at a high price. So Lin Chunhong immediately got 30,000 shi of Huai salt intent through Zhang Daohan, and then gave Zhongren a benefit fee, instructing Zhongren to sell it to King Hui at a moderate price.

Lin Chunhong was planning and various strategies were launched in Jingzhou in full swing.

Just as Chen He arrived at his home this day, his family reported that his uncle had invited him, and asked the master to go to Prince Hui's mansion immediately.

Chen He did not dare to delay and immediately took a sedan chair to Prince Hui's mansion. My uncle was very satisfied with Chen He's recent performance and did not let him wait for him. My uncle said straight to the point: "The Prince Hui's mansion got 30,000 shi of Huai salt. Considering that you are usually filial, I want to give you this benefit."

When Chen He heard this, his face changed, and Daxia couldn't help but sweat all over. Chen He knew that now, one stone of salt and three taels of silver will be transferred to Chen He, and at least five taels of silver will be sold. Last year, Chen He paid tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Hui Mansion through this method. Unexpectedly, King Hui became even more aggressive this year and got so much salt.

Originally, according to the money Chen He earned recently for logging, there was no big problem with taking the salt intake. But now he is fighting with Lin Chunhong in a fierce way. After taking the salt intake, the funds cannot be recovered for the time being, so he will definitely be finished.

Chen He's legs and feet softened, and he knelt on the ground and begged, "Uncle, you also know that I need sufficient funds to fight Lin Chunhong now. After taking the salt ray, he couldn't turn his hands in the moment, so that's all."

Lord Changshi said, "You have earned so much money from logging some time ago, and you have to take care of King Hui. Look at Lin Chunhong spent a lot of money to maintain the guards in Qingjiang, and King Hui just greeted Rongmei Tusi, and you will be unobstructed. The natives are afraid when they see it. If you don't let Lin Chunhong open the warehouse, King Hui bought the land. You must know the best and make King Hui feel comfortable. You and I will worry about it."

After hearing this, Chen He knew that he could not change the facts, so he begged: "Uncle, please help me, lower the price, I will buy salt incense. Then, you beg King Hui, can you pay for a few months?"

The uncle shook his head and said, "How many months is the grace? The Hui Mansion has a huge expense in one day. Now he has to build a garden again. It is impossible to give up. As for the price, don't worry, as the uncle, will you treat you badly? By the way, your mother has misunderstood you recently. She often goes back to see you, and don't mess around outside all day."

Chen He nodded and agreed, leaving the house dejectedly. Before leaving, his uncle shouted again: "Next month, King Hui takes a concubine, you are ready, don't lose your face!"

When Chen He heard this, he felt even more heartbroken. After that, tens of thousands of taels of silver were gone!

Chen He is now a little worried that Lin Chunhong will last longer than him, but he also thinks that Lin Chunhong is asking for cooperation, and it is probably because he is almost out of reach. Chen He has to comfort himself like this and pray that Lin Chunhong will be done as soon as possible.

Yiling Goods Store.

Opposite the north gate is a bluestone street. Entering from the north gate, there is a wine shop on the left and a tea shop on the right. There are pot throwing fields, wrestling fields, chess and art rooms on the left and right of the wine shop... There is also an arrow field behind the wine shop. The wine shop is still thirty steps away from the street. Therefore, there is a square in front of the wine shop. There are jugglings, some kicking cujus, and even a stage is set up all year round, mainly used for merchants to sell goods, occasionally used for singing music and showing off dance. In short, the popular sports and entertainment facilities in the Ming Dynasty are all available, except horses

Stadium. Originally, Lin Chunhongli mainly built a polo stadium in the warehouse, but everyone thought that the polo stadium occupied too wide and there were few people playing, so he gave up. Some people had bet on each other, trying to spend a lot of money. The warehouse didn't care about gambling. According to Lin Chunhong's idea, he wanted to build a casino directly in the warehouse, but under Li Chongde's firm opposition, it was left unresolved. Li Chongde believed that gambling was the source of all evil that was second only to sexual affair. Lin Chunhong secretly complained about this view that people who could not even bear gambling deserved to be eliminated.

The Yiling Warehouse is very lively, just like flowers and cooking oil with fire. However, Lin Chunhong is discussing with everyone about selling the Warehouse shares.

Zhang Daohan has also been in Yiling these days. He first objected: "Your difficulty now is not lack of money. The most critical problem is that you can't make ends meet. The warehouse can only raise money, but it cannot solve the income and expenditure problem. The most important thing now is to find a new way of wealth to fundamentally solve the problem!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded. Lin Chunhong thought for a while and said, "Sir, this is reasonable, but I think that the lack of income and lack of money are actually a problem of one-two, two-two. Think about it, our lack of income is mainly because Chen He sells wood at a price. If we sell wood at this price, it will be a loss and the wood has to accumulate on the island. As long as Chen He's disaster is solved, the problem of unbalanced income and expenditure will be solved."

"If there is too much money, you can't solve Chen He's problem immediately? At most, you will spend money with him, and the money will eventually be gone." Li Chongde said.

"No, Chen He is selling wood at a loss now. With more money, we can buy his wood. In this way, Chen He will face the problem of losing money when he continues to log wood; stop logging, and we will control the wood price in Jingzhou!"

After hearing this, the bend in his head turned around and nodded for a moment, thinking that getting a large amount of money is also one of the ways out. Lin Chunhong continued: "Although Yiling warehouse makes money now, it is difficult to guarantee that big merchants will follow suit in the future. This will directly affect our business. If we attract many merchants to join the market in advance, if others want to open the warehouse in the future, they will definitely be jointly boycotted by the merchants who join the market and will not be able to gain a foothold in Yiling. Moreover, we can also attract some Yiling officials to join the market to reduce the possibility of human interference."

Finally, everyone believed that Yiling Goods Store should not only be sold, but other industries can be sold in the future, as long as we control it. After everyone's discussion, Yiling Goods Store was finally priced at 360,000 taels of silver, and 60% were sold, and it was stipulated that the red was distributed once a year.

After making up this matter, everyone was very happy. Lin Chunhong suddenly said: "I thought a lot about Teng Yuhao last time. I also felt that we made money in business, but everyone did not get much wealth. This time, Yiling Warehouse gathered the participants, and I wanted to give 20% of them to my brothers as a shareholding. As for how to divide the brothers, everyone will discuss the rules of association."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't say a word. Li Chengzong quickly said, "Last time it was Teng Yuhao, that guy, in fact, we are quite satisfied with our current life." As soon as Li Chengzong said, everyone opposed Lin Chunhong's measures. Lin Chunhong could also see that these people were also sincerely opposed to this matter. After all, everyone was used to being poor before, but now they were still quite satisfied with such a life, and were very grateful to Lin Chunhong. But now, what will happen in the future? Who can tell clearly? Lin Chunhong knew very well that this time, he would not only unite some businessmen and officials around him, but more importantly, they must unite these talents that he had finally found closely around him.

Lin Chunhong insisted on giving his brothers a share, but everyone could not resist him and only agreed to give him a share of the brothers. Lin Chunhong also agreed and stipulated that if there is any matter of contributing to the members in the future, 10% should be used as the membership of the brothers. As for how to divide it, Lin Chunhong discussed with everyone and stipulated that if the most ordinary workers get one tael of silver, the captain will take two taels, the captain will take four taels, and so on. As for the position setting changes in the future, then decide. In addition, Lin Chunhong also decided that all his subordinates would also welcome money to participate in the matter of contributing to the members and enjoy priority.

Finally, Lin Chunhong arranged for Li Chongde to sort out the matters discussed today into a charter, and everyone will act according to this from now on.

Teng Yuhao was still the captain. He looked at the rules in his hand and could not calm down for a long time. He knew that Lin Chunhong was stimulated by him and came up with this way to distribute dividends to everyone. Seeing his workers running around and telling each other, he finally realized how strong the collective cohesion led by Lin Chunhong was. It was not gathered together by the relationship between villagers and friends, nor by force to force everyone together, but by common interests. Teng Yuhao was very sensitive to changes in interests. He believed that as long as he could make money, no difficulties or obstacles could stop people's enthusiasm.

Teng Yuhao has not saved money in recent years. He is planning to borrow some from relatives and friends, and also earn some in Yiling Goods Store. On the one hand, he is waiting for dividends, and more importantly, he shows an attitude to everyone: You see, I, Teng Yuhao, have to earn even if I borrow money, which means that I am in my heart. Isn’t this time I have the opportunity to change my image for Teng Yuhao?

Over the past month, he continued to contact Fu Jiahe and sent him some false information as Lin Chunhong's instructions. As the saying goes, Lin Chunhong could not hold on anymore, and there was only less than 50,000 taels of silver left. It also said that Lin Chunhong was unable to do so, so he prepared to sell wood at a large amount of low prices to survive this difficult period. This information made Chen He and Fu Jiahe lower the price of wood, waiting for Lin Chunhong to finish the destruction immediately.

Teng Yuhao also learned that Chen He was forced to spend 120,000 taels of silver from Prince Hui's Mansion to buy 30,000 shi of salt. The salt was in his hands for a while and occupied a lot of funds. However, Lin Chunhong got more than 200,000 taels of silver through the Yiling Warehouse. His strength increased and each other. Teng Yuhao also realized that Chen He was almost finished, and he couldn't help but regret his previous confusion. Why did he think about following Chen He? Lin Chunhong was like a newborn calf, getting stronger and stronger. It was estimated that he would not have been a big bull in a long time. Maybe he would turn into a tiger.
