Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 368 The Art of Compromise

Sometimes things in this world are hard to explain. I miss my mother's family, and my child's uncle is here. Dugu Han's bold move directly alleviated the current economic pressure on Fuliang. However, what Xia Lin didn't expect was that the thinking mode of the Dugu family head was so stereotyped that it made people's scalps numb.

If Xia Lin were asked to guess the purpose of her coming here today, he would never think in this direction even if he guessed that she came to ask him out.

"I have heard about the Fuliang clan's affairs." Dugu Han shook his fan and said softly, "The Lu family is still a little skeptical, so why not let my Dugu family invest and buy raw coal and grain? With the Dugu family's reputation, we will definitely be able to attract more people to join. Then you can return my money in full, and we will split the money from the family 30% to 70%."

"Hmm?" Xia Lin raised his head suddenly: "What? You take 30%? That's a bit too much, right?"

"You take 30%."

"Get lost." Xia Lin waved his hand and said, "Are you crazy?"

"Four six."

Xia Lin spat, "If you want to do business, then set a fair price. Either I take 60% and you take 40%, or we split it 50-50. You come to me and beg me to do something for you, and you're still taking advantage of me?"

Dugu Han pursed his lips and said, "Do you know how to do business? Who would come up with a 50-50 offer? What if it's 30-70 and you agree?"

"Do you think I'm a little crazy?"

Dugu Han was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Xia Lin was too lazy to argue with her: "How much do you plan to invest?"

"It's equivalent to 10 million taels of silver."

Xia Lin's mind exploded when he heard this number. Was BYD trying to win both the banker and the player? Ten million taels would blow up the warehouse in an instant, and all those who bought the rising price would have to jump off the building.

"It's not worth it for the Lu family, right?"

"Do you think there is only one Lu family?" Dugu Han sneered, "I have already figured out your tricks, you just need to manage it. Ten million, take over the fourteen major families in Jiangnan Road. I have calculated that as long as they are brave enough to follow, you and I can make at least seven million this time."

"One person earns seven million or..."

Dugu Han frowned and looked at Xia Lin: "Of course it's seven million for two people. How can they have so much cash?"

"Three hundred and fifty per person, pure profit. Not bad." Xia Lin stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "Let's do it."

"No." Dugu Han waved his hand: "You are not capable enough, I don't trust you. Give me an official position to be in charge of this matter."

"What?" Xia Lin was stunned: "What did you say?"

"I said I want you to have an official position, and I will take care of it." Dugu Han clapped his fan in his hand: "A rough man like you can't touch money."

"Your mother..." Xia Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's the matter? Aren't we a couple? Are you going to grab my purse?"

Dugu Han still had a sneer on his face: "If you don't agree, I will sell your position. When the coal price drops, I will make the profit alone."

"Oh shit... aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

"Then your credibility will be gone. If I make money and then something goes wrong, you will be punished for not being trustworthy. Xia Daosheng, I will follow all your businesses. Even if it's the coal mine in the north, I will go to that number one scholar to invest money. You can't escape."

Well, well, well, everyone says that the Dugu family is a maggot on the tarsal bone. Xia Lin didn't quite understand it before, thinking that it would be fine if the maggot on the tarsal bone was scraped off. But now he realized that as long as this thing sticks to him, if he wants to scrape it off, it must be called scraping the bone to heal the wound.

At this stage, Xia Lin couldn't afford to scrape it, and didn't dare to touch it.

"Okay, okay, Dugu Han, you really are an awesome guy."

"The Dugu family has been around for two hundred years. They have never had military power, but they are well-informed and have their own abilities." Dugu Han stood up and said, "Then I will wait for Lord Xia's letter of appointment."

"Are you a juren?"

"Han has been a top scholar for three consecutive years. Not to mention being an official under you, I am more than qualified to be your superior." Dugu Han bowed to Xia Lin and said, "Goodbye."

"Wait, why do you want to drag me into this? You already know the price fluctuations, so why don't you just sell your positions yourself?"

"You can't offend both sides." Dugu Han looked back at Xia Lin and said, "You might really want to steal my peaches by then."

Dugu Han left, Xia Lin leaned there and laughed. The information revealed from Dugu Han's words just now was actually very interesting. Why did Xia Lin say that her thoughts were particularly stereotyped? It was because what she was doing now reminded Xia Lin of an ancient joke. It was that one day a tenant owed a large sum of money to the landlord, and had no choice but to mortgage his daughter to the landlord as his wife. On the wedding night, the woman said to the landlord viciously, "You got my woman, and the accounts between our two families are written off." However, after a night, when she got up in the morning, the woman turned around and said to the landlord, "How much does my father owe us in total?"

Dugu Han is in this situation now. After infiltrating and investing with Xia Lin, the first thing she cared about was not anything else, but to reversely calculate other people of the same class. From the beginning, "Don't even think about cheating a penny from us" to "We have to find a way to fuck him up."

So, Xia Lin really doesn’t care about Hanhan’s gender, because even if she is a man, it does not affect her thorough femininity from the inside out.

Now that Dugu Han asked for a letter of authorization, Xia Lin would just give her one. Her own money was in it anyway, so let's see what tricks she could come up with.

Politics is the art of compromise.

Today, the Lu family has really made a lot of money from futures. Although they are still waiting and watching, the huge profits for two consecutive months have made them taste the sweetness enough. They have also paid back one third of the debt to Duke Lu. After that, they should increase their investment.

Judging from this point of view alone, Xia Lin feels that his financial vision is indeed not as good as Dugu Han's. But that's also true. He is an up-host who develops the country through industry. He takes a different route from the Dugu family, which has been thinking about investment for two hundred years. As the saying goes, everyone has his or her own expertise.

But what Xia Lin really didn't expect happened. The next day after the letter of authorization was sent, Dugu Han came to her again and she made a list of hundreds of names.

"You, simplify this."

When Xia Lin picked it up, he saw that it was a collection of non-performing assets in the entire Fuliang. Many industries had been eliminated or could not keep up with the development, and even a number of messy government offices were on the list of those to be streamlined.

"Your Fuliang accounts are in a mess. I really don't know how you can make money with such a mess. The amount of these Longwu is as high as 170,000 or 180,000 taels every year. In addition, the deficit of purchases from various parties has reached 30%. Xia Daosheng, you are simply living a confused life."

When Xia Lin saw that the deficit reached 30%, his face turned pale. He looked up at Dugu Han, and Dugu Han looked at him coldly.

“Hanhan…”

"Run away!" Dugu Han frowned, "It's disgusting. You can deal with it yourself, it's useless."

Hey...she scolded me.

But after seeing these things, Xia Lin's scalp really tingled. They kept complaining about being poor, but it turned out that the amount of losses from top to bottom was so huge.

"I see."

In the next few days, a large number of people were arrested in Fuliang County, and the inspector was so happy that he went crazy. He had arrested three years' quota in just a few days, so this year's bonus must be sky-high, right?

From top to bottom, there was a complete reshuffle of personnel in almost every department. Even in the military camp, several people who were in charge of food and military pay were demoted.

Although it was a bit painful, it was necessary to do it. Then, a large number of non-performing assets and redundant government offices were cut off, and a large amount of resources were gathered again. Although they were all small amounts of money, the total amount of deficits recovered was as much as 400,000 taels.

Xia Lin looked at the money and grain reported and wanted to rush up to hug Dugu Han and give her a kiss, but he was annoyed by her disgusted face, which was really giving him a headache.

However, this is not the end. The cleanup work here has not been completed yet. Dugu Han slapped another list in Xia Lin's face, which carefully listed the evidence of tax evasion of more than forty businesses.

"What do you think Dugu Han is after?"

Xia Lin took advantage of the good weather and went to the secret base by the river to grill fish. Next to him was Princess Pingyang, who was picking fish. She was like a starving ghost, looking for food everywhere, but Dong Niang never let her eat. So now Xia Lin's secret base basically became her place to eat secretly. She grilled meat and fish here when she had nothing to do. After all, as a military general, she couldn't stand eating vegetarian food every day.

"The Dugu family, you can say they are sycophants or they are parasites, but the kings and emperors of all dynasties have never said they want to exterminate them. To put it bluntly, they have their own way of survival. When the Dugu family decided to cling to you, their ability was astonishing. Back then, Dugu Han's great-grandfather Dugu Xin had a big seal, and he managed military rations, money, horses, and other matters in an orderly manner." Princess Pingyang ate grilled fish while imparting experience to Xia Lin: "Dugu Han is naturally the same, but if you are unable to recover, the Dugu family will resolutely abandon you."

After hearing what Princess Pingyang said, Xia Lin sat there hugging her knees and sighed, "What a cruel family."

"Every family has its own way of survival, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's a pity that you are already a consort, otherwise Sister Dugu would have gotten into your bed."

"Du Guhan has a younger sister?"

"Isn't she just the younger sister? Why? The bloodline of the Dugu family has always been stunningly beautiful. With her looks, can't you pick and choose? Any daughter of her family is the most beautiful in the world, and no one can match her."

"Forget it, it's too evil." Xia Lin waved his hands repeatedly: "Look at him, he's only thirteen or fourteen years old. I'm not that disgusting. Driving a baby carriage will lead to a bad death."

"I also got married at the age of thirteen."

"The key point is that Chai Shao didn't feel happy either. You've been married for ten years, and at most he's only touched your butt."

Princess Pingyang picked up the fish head and hit Xia Lin with it. Xia Lin screamed, "Fuck! My clothes are white!"
