At night, Yixian Tower.
In the private room, the owners of the four major businesses gathered together again.
Only the short and fat old man from Jufeng was sitting relatively steadily on the chair.
The other three have become ants on the hot pan.
Upon seeing this, the owner of Tongxianghao immediately said anxiously, "Mr. Liu, it's already this late, how can you still sit there?"
"Think of a solution quickly!"
Beside them, the two owners of Dachang and Tailong also said, "Yes, Mr. Liu, please make a decision quickly."
"Zhao Hao was originally going to cooperate with Princess Yu Chengzhang to include our four companies. Now that we didn't agree, he turned around and took over Zhao Hao's other 30 companies."
"If these thirty businesses can cooperate successfully, we will have a steady supply of dry liquor, soap, white linen paper, and porcelain."
"I'm afraid the status of our four major companies will be shaken."
Maybe not in the short term, but as time goes by, it will be a foregone conclusion.
The worst thing is that there is Princess Yu Chengzhang behind him.
The short and fat old man drank a cup of tea and said, "Since we haven't boarded the ship, what's the rush now?"
"Isn't the reason why the three bosses are so anxious because Da Gan is as stable as a rock in this war?"
"But is it really so?"
“If the big guns are wiped out, do we still need to worry?”
"I'm afraid it's doubtful whether Zhao Hao can still survive!"
The owner of Dachanghao said, "That's true, but Mr. Liu, who knows how this battle will turn out?"
"Da Gan's army is known to everyone. With the current strength of the two countries of Nan Chu and Wu, can they really win?"
"I'm afraid not!"
Old Liu snorted, "If that's the case, then we might as well mobilize our own forces. We, the Shu Kingdom, can also take a stand!"
"With the addition of my Shu Kingdom, can Da Gan still resist?"
The owner of the Tailong said: "It will be difficult for the four of us to accomplish this, even with the pressure from the generals."
Old Liu said calmly: "In that case, we can create some obstacles. Aren't they short of food due to the big work? Doesn't Zhao Hao want food? Then we can just prevent him from buying food!"
"Without food, even if the soldiers are really strong, how much fighting power can they have?"
"In the end, you will lose."
"Everyone, since we have chosen to stand on the side of Wu, we can't change our minds and jump back and forth."
"Otherwise, we will end up in a terrible situation."
Hearing this, the expressions of the other three owners all changed and they nodded quickly.
"Old Liu is right. We have received benefits from Prince Ying, so of course we have to work for Prince Ying."
"King Ying has promised us to provide a large amount of supplies to Wu and Southern Chu during the war, and the price is 30% higher than the market price."
"After the war, my four major businesses will also be able to operate in Wu with very low taxes."
“That’s a huge benefit.”
"As long as Da Gan shows signs of defeat, we in Shu will definitely arrest Zhao Hao."
"At that time, all the things he invented will remain in Shu."
“At that time, no matter who runs these workshops, with the strength of our four major companies, they will definitely be able to get a share of the pie.”
"This is the real way to sharpen the knife and chop wood at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."
Old Liu couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying: "That's right, this is the path we should take."
"See this clearly so that you won't make mistakes later."
"Then, the three owners should go back and prepare. According to Prince Ying's instructions, Zhao Hao must not be allowed to get the food."
"yes."
After the three people left, the short and fat old man also stood up and left Yixian Tower.
On the other hand, Zhao Hao returned to the villa.
Qingniao, whose face had always been as cold as an iceberg, finally showed some fluctuations at this moment.
She looked at Zhao Hao and said, "My Lord, after today, we are finally one step closer to our goal."
"At the same time, you have also raised more than 100,000 dan of grain. Your way of incorporating these small and medium-sized businesses in Shu is simply brilliant."
Wu Song nodded beside him and said, "Yes, with these grains, plus the grains purchased from Yue State and our own reserve grains, food will no longer be a problem."
"As the saying goes, if you have food in your pocket, you won't be worried. With these grains, the combat effectiveness of the army can be guaranteed."
"Southern Chu and Wu will definitely not gain any benefit at all."
"In the end, you will definitely return empty-handed!"
Bluebird also nodded excitedly: "That's right, this time I will definitely let the people of Nanchu and Wu know that I, Da Gan, am not someone to be trifled with!"
"They wanted to take advantage of the fact that we had just gone through a war and a massive natural disaster to target me."
“It’s just wishful thinking!”
Looking at the two people who were excited and excited, Zhao Hao did not look happy at all.
Seeing Zhao Hao still frowning, Wu Song couldn't help but ask, "Why are you unhappy, young master?"
Zhao Hao took a breath and shook his head slightly: "You two think things are too simple."
Qingniao Wenyan frowned and said, "My Lord, what do you mean by that? Is there something else going on?"
Zhao Hao said, "Of course there will be unexpected events, and they will definitely not be small. As long as these 100,000 dan of grain are not in the bag, we cannot say that we did a great job."
"Believe it or not, the four major businesses and King Ying will definitely not stand idly by."
After hearing what Zhao Hao said, Qingniao's face immediately darkened.
"My Lord, then we..."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "Miss Qingniao, don't worry. My original plan was to wait for the first batch of goods to arrive in Shu, then load this batch of 100,000 dan of grain onto a truck and transport it back to Dagan."
"But now it seems that this plan is not going to work."
"We have to prepare for both scenarios."
Bluebird said quickly, "Please give your orders, my Lord."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "Miss Qingniao, go and prepare the carriages and horses, prepare as many as you can."
"Once those 30 small and medium-sized merchants come to deliver the grain, no matter how much, we will immediately load it onto trucks and ship it out."
Bluebird nodded immediately: "Yes, I'll do it right away!"
Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was called back by Zhao Hao.
"Wait a moment!"
"My lord, do you have any other instructions?" Qingniao stopped, turned around and asked.
"Miss Bluebird, do you have anyone else you can use?"
Bluebird paused and said, "Yes!"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Then please invite the shopkeepers of the four major businesses to come to the villa. I have something to discuss with them."
Qingniao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but frowned and said, "But my lord, the four major merchants have made their attitude clear, I'm afraid they can't be invited."
Zhao Hao's eyes suddenly flashed, and he snorted, "That's why I said, do you have anyone available?"
"If they don't want to come, just invite them more enthusiastically and proactively. Do I need to teach you this?"
