Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 294: The Jingping and Mi Family Team Up to Battle Guanzhong!
On the Luoshui River.

A huge boat was drifting, on the top of the boat, in the elegant cabin, Mu Jing was wearing a long robe and white clothes, holding a wine cup and sipping a small wine, chatting with a young man sitting opposite him.

"Mu Shizi, the cooperation with Jingping Trading Company is very smooth. Although the profit is not much, it can be regarded as the Luoyang Bazaar that allows us to stand firmly. This is our first successful cooperation. I am very happy in my heart. This glass of wine is for you!"

The young man knelt and sat opposite, holding the wine cup in both hands, looked at Mujing, cupped his hands and said, "Please!"

This time, they have also benefited from the cooperation with Jingping Trading Company.

Whether it is the Yao family, the Yan family, or some small salt merchants, they were caught in the chaos and took the opportunity to take down some salt shops at a low price, which is enough to make them the biggest Luo after Jingping Trading Company. Yang salt merchants.

Although Jingping Commercial Bank is the one that has benefited the most this time, it is a win-win cooperation.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing returned the salute with a wine cup, and said with a smile: "Master Mi is right, this is too polite. In the mall, you win and I win, which is considered a win. This cooperation, I must Thank you Mi Family for your help, if the Mi Family didn't take the initiative to use the salt merchant relationship, I am afraid we would not have won the Salt Market so easily!"

Jingping Commercial Co., Ltd. fought against the salt market, and chose to cooperate with the He family in Luoshui, one of the five major salt merchants. However, the person behind the He family, Mu Jing, has never been able to investigate. This is the first time they have met.

When he knew the young man's name and identity, he was really taken aback.

why?

Because this person's name is Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu, this name is not very famous in the era of chaotic heroes at the end of Han Dynasty. After all, in the chaotic times of the end of Han Dynasty, there are tons of heroes, and there are countless counselors and generals. Too many people died in this period. .

But if you just put Mi Zhu in the business world at the end of Han Dynasty, this is a famous name.

The Mi family was regarded as a wealthy businessman in the late Han Dynasty.

This is not an ordinary local merchant, but a merchant who is famous all over the world. In the era of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, those who can do this in the name of merchants are not only the end of the Han Dynasty, but the entire Han Dynasty. Very few.

The most important thing is Mi Zhu.

It stands to reason that if he is a merchant, even if he is rich enough to rival a country, because Confucian children scorn merchants, it is unlikely that he will leave too many language records in history.

The reason why Mi Zhu's name will remain in history is that he poured the entire Mi family's financial resources into Liu Bei when Liu Bei was still down and out. This largest investment has already marked Mi Zhu's brilliant life.

"The battle in the salt market was beyond someone's expectations. Jingping Trading Company's methods were eye-opening. It was rumored that Jingping Trading Company was carrying out the order of the prince. I didn't expect Shizi Mu to be so proficient in business. It can be regarded as a lesson for someone!" Mi Zhu drank a glass of wine for a long time, looked at Mujing several times inadvertently, and then said sincerely.

This is not a compliment.

But this time, Jingping Trading Company's method of competing in the salt market has indeed taught him a lot of knowledge. Although Mi's family is rich, their assets are left by generations. , this era is still somewhat lacking, or because the business path itself ranks at the bottom in this era, many people do not need too many means in the mall.

It's a matter of vision.

For Mi Zhu, a young man who has been doing business with Mi's parents since he was four or five years old, he has a lot of experience, but he is still not as good as Mu Jing's business knowledge with a sense of the future. The mall can still play in this way. The accident was also very exciting, as if it opened a door on the wall of the tube for him.

"The owner of the Mi family is being modest. In today's world, the Mi family is the number one wealthy businessman in the world. It has been in business for more than a hundred years and has accumulated for several generations. Our Jingping firm is a junior. When it comes to business, we have to learn from the Mi family. !"

Mu Jing smiled and said modestly.

He can have such means because he has a sense of future business and has a broader vision. Of course, he also has a lot of business experience.

But after all, an era is different from an era.

Mujing used to be a talented businessman in that era, but in this era, the way of business is after all low-end, and merchants also need to adapt to the trend of this era in order to stand firmly in the business world. Being too advanced is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes it can be a bad thing too.

Therefore, Mujing thinks that he still needs to imitate the trading style of Mi's family, so that Jingping Trading can grow completely in the future, until he can use capital to influence the world's hegemony.

"My lord, you are the one who is humble!"

Mi Zhu once again looked at Mujing carefully.

Mu Jing was a little different from what he had imagined.

Mujing Mulongtu, the eldest son of the Mu family, has lived in the capital for several years, and is very famous in the capital, and this reputation is not an ordinary fame, so Mi Zhu has always been curious about him.

It was only rumored that Mujing was arrogant and domineering, but now it seems that this is not the case. The humble young man in front of him gave him a different impression.

"Patriarch Mi!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two flattered each other, and then started to get into the topic. Mu Jing raised his head, his eyes sparkled, he looked at Mi Zhu with a smile, and said, "You have the guts to cooperate with our Jingping Firm!"

He came to see Mi Zhu, not to reminisce about the past.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Jingping Commercial Bank is in the grip of the general trend, he must ask Jingping Commercial Bank to continue to expand its influence. Only with strong predatory and strong offensive ideas can Jingping Commercial Bank maintain internal unity.

He didn't want Jingping Trading Company to just win a victory, and the people behind would start idling and preparing to share the spoils.

"How does the prince want to cooperate?"

When Mi Zhu heard these words, his pupils changed color slightly, and he said cautiously.

He had predicted that Jingping Trading Company would not win a salt market and let it go. Of course, he also intends to expand the influence of the entire Mi family to Luoyang City, so he doesn't mind if they can cooperate more.

"Take down the entire grain market in Guanzhong, how about it?" After being silent for a while, Mu Jing spoke calmly, and even Mi Zhu trembled a little at the words he said.

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

"The grain market in Guanzhong?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, his whole body trembled, his eyes changed color, he couldn't help taking a breath, and looked at Mu Jing stupidly, as if he was looking at a lunatic.

No matter how he thought about it, Mu Jing was so crazy.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "My lord, do you know how terrifying the grain market in Guanzhong is?"

"If I didn't know this, I wouldn't be looking for you. Jingping Commercial Bank has accumulated most of the merchants in Nanyang. I ask myself that the financial resources will not be inferior to any merchants in the world. The salt market is just a test of the water. If it is just a small Big and small, I don't need to find the Mi family!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

The background of Jingping Trading Company is much stronger than imagined. After all, it gathers the merchant power of the largest county in the world. How powerful it is, even Mujing sometimes trembles in position.

That's why Mu Jing wanted to fight against the odds.

"Why the grain market?" Mi Zhu asked bitterly.

He still has some confidence in other markets, but he really doesn't have any confidence in food.

Mu Jing replied: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Food will never expire. Food is also the strongest currency in the world. It is even more precious than gold, silver and jewelry. Therefore, the food market is the cruelest, and Guanzhong is located on a plain. , itself is a huge granary, not only supplying the Guanzhong market, but also selling the world, there is a saying in the rumors, Guanzhong is rich, the world is full, and Guanzhong's food is very important to the whole world!"

"Since you know that it is very important to the whole world, you will understand how dangerous it is!" Mi Zhu had always been calm, but at this moment he was somewhat lost, and said hysterically.

Mu Jing paused, looked at Mi Zhu's expression, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "I have this idea, and I have considered the consequences. If we want to take down the grain market in Guanzhong, we will definitely suffer from the whole Guanzhong." The counterattack of the COFCO merchants, the capabilities of the Guanzhong grain merchants needless to say, what is more important is that those who can sell grain in Guanzhong are backed by the support of wealthy families, once the Guanzhong grain is moved, it is equivalent to poking a hornet's nest!"

"Since the son understands, why do such stupid things!"

Mi Zhu frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that the prince thinks that Master Mu can cover the sky with one hand?"

"You're wrong, my father doesn't care about these things, even if I ruin the entire Jingping Firm, he won't show up, because he is the current Tai Tuo, and his allegiance is His Majesty, and he manages the world , How can you disregard laws and regulations because of personal interests!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "As for what you said, stupid? What is a stupid thing? I never think it is stupid!"

"My lord, please forgive me for not being able to promise you!"

Mi Zhu took a deep breath, calmed down, took a deep look at Mujing, and then directly refused: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with Jingping Firm, but that I can't hold our entire Mi family for several generations. The reputation and wealth accumulated by people have taken risks!"

He is not optimistic about the tossing of the grain market at all.

That is Guanzhong Market.

Where is Guanzhong, and how many aristocratic families hover here, not to mention Taifu Mushan behind Mujing, even today, the first emperor Liu Hong, no one can handle the troubles caused by the Guanzhong aristocratic family going crazy.

Mujing still has Taifu Mu, but if he has anything, he will be crushed.

"Patriarch Mi, don't worry!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, looked at Mi Zhu, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to reject me so quickly, you might as well listen to what I have to say before making a decision, I'm just discussing this matter with you, I will never force you ,Do not worry!"

He naturally knew why Mi Zhu objected.

If this sentence is said, as long as there is a rational person, it will be opposed.

If it was the grain market in Luoyang alone, Mi Zhu might consider whether he would agree, but if it was the grain market in the entire Guanzhong area, it would be difficult, as Mi Zhu would definitely not dare to get involved.

"Okay!" Mi Zhu nodded, made a gesture, and stayed quietly, letting Mu Jing continue.

He also wanted to hear what kind of confidence Mujing had to convince him.

"The land in Guanzhong has been rich and abundant since ancient times. In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, there was a lot of talk for heroes fighting for hegemony. If you win Guanzhong, you will win the world!" Mu Jing said carefully, he had to convince Mi Zhu, there was no Before meeting Mi Zhu, he didn't have this idea, but after meeting Mi Zhu, this idea took root in his mind. In fact, if there is the support of the Mi family, it is not impossible for Jingping Trading Company to eat the grain market in Guanzhong.

"Once we take action on the Guanzhong grain market, we will definitely encounter a huge counterattack. If we are not careful, not only our Jingping Trading Company, but even the Mi family may lose their wealth overnight, so the owner of the Mi family directly refused. I understand too!"

"But Mi Patriarch, have you ever thought about why it is so dangerous? I am still willing to bring it up. It is because of a reason that we must do it!"

"We are all merchants. We should understand a truth. The status of merchants is humble and not valued by others. If we don't have the capital to sit side by side with others, then we won't be able to think highly of us!"

"If you want people to look up to merchants, you must first hold the power to make them afraid!"

"Business to such an extent, the wealth of the Mi family must be enough to allow you to live comfortably for generations to come, but the owner of the Mi family is still willing to make such a fuss, I am afraid it is not just for making money!"

"..."

After doing enough homework, Mu Jing spoke at length, then took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and continued: "Patriarch Mi has done so much just to get merchants to gain a foothold. This is a great opportunity. As the saying goes, high risk, high profit, Mi Patriarch is a merchant, so he should understand that once this matter is successful, it will be of great status benefit to us merchants!"

"Mu Shizi, you are right. Our Mi family has never cared about money. What we have been looking for all our lives is to make people look at us. However, I don't think this kind of thing will succeed!"

Mi Zhu's face looked a bit ferocious, and the reason for his grim appearance was because his state of mind was in the midst of the conflict between heaven and man, he had already been moved by Mu Jing's words, but reason told him that he could not agree to this matter, so he carried it to death.

"Whether it will succeed or not, it doesn't matter if you say it, or if I say it!"

Mu Jing raised his head, looked at Mi Zhu sincerely, and the corner of his mouth was curved into a smile, which was natural and confident: "If you didn't fight a battle, how could you know that you would fail, unless Patriarch Mi respected himself a little bit?" Even without confidence, Patriarch Mi is still willing to be a dog of the aristocratic family that people will come when called, and go away when waved!"

"I can not be reconciled!"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he became excited, his eyes were like flames, and he looked straight at Mujing.

He made such a fuss because he didn't want to be firmly suppressed by the wealthy family.

He has been looking for a way for the Mi family to stand upright.

Mujing's words touched his nerves.

"Master Mi, our Jingping Company dares to fight, even if you don't do it, our Jingping Company will continue to do it!" Mu Jing said calmly: "But if the Mi family is willing to help me, I can give you a promise, as long as I Father is still in the court for a day, this business war will be regarded as our defeat in the end, I will bear the wrath of the Guanzhong family, and in the name of Jingping Army, I will guarantee you to leave Guanzhong safely!"

"Is this true?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, his pupils changed slightly, and he took a deep look at Mujing, and a hoarse voice sounded.

"Of course!"

Mu Jing nodded sincerely: "What I, Mu Jing say, is like a gentleman's promise, and I will never break my promise!"
