NOVEL NEXT Chapter 83 A helpless choice
"Third Master, how can he, Li Xiang, win fifty states? This is a huge loss to us."
After sending Li Xiang away, Cui Yunzhu couldn't suppress his anger. In addition, he had just drank a lot of wine, so his tone of speech was a bit bad. He laughed so hard just now that he felt sick. Facing Li Xiang like this He just wanted to chop him with a knife.
I was slapped twice in front of the hall that day. I will never forget this hatred for the rest of my life.
"Brother!"
Cui Yuncheng quickly grabbed this guy. Although there are two Cuisi in one sentence, the relationship between the two of them and Mr. Cui is not close. If you talk to Mr. Cui in such a tone, don't you want to live?
Fortunately, Third Master Cui was in a good mood today and did not argue with this boy. Otherwise, based on his questioning tone, he would have been dragged out and whipped ten times.
"You are short-sighted. If he doesn't cooperate with us, do you think he can't do it hard? Although we can make trouble, there are many people who want to cooperate with him. On the surface, the five surnames and seven looks are a whole , but in the face of interests, do you think they can all listen to us? If Li Xiang throws this bait out, other major families will want to cooperate with him. "
Cui Sanye thought of the other families in the Five Surnames and Qiwangli, and felt depressed in his heart. Although the Cui family was the most wealthy family in the world, the other major families were not free. Faced with the temptation of Datang Tiannong, they would definitely He would not stand in the same trench with the Cui family, which was one of the reasons why the Cui family changed their original intention.
For a long time, the major families have been dissatisfied with the Cui family's monopoly on liquor, but they have no way to get in, so they have been holding back. Now Li Xiang is a spoiler. Even if Li Xiang doesn't ask them to cooperate, then After a while, these people may also come to the door on their own initiative. They are probably the happiest people when Li Xiang and the Cui family break up.
"Then you got that kid for nothing?"
Cui Yunzhu said angrily.
"Brother, it's not just him who gets the advantage, we also get the advantage."
Cui Yuncheng said helplessly that although his body was failing, his brain was fine.
Mr. Cui nodded appreciatively. We got a lot of bargains this time. Although we had monopolized the liquor market before, we only monopolized the market and not the products. Some high-end liquors are emerging in endlessly from various places. In fact, the Cui family does not make much profit from monopolizing this market, it is just a good-looking product. Take the major families in the capital as an example, each family makes their own wine.
But now the situation is different. The liquor brewed by each household does not taste good. Compared with Datang Tiannong, it is just like horse urine.
Coupled with the previous publicity by Li Xiang and the Changsun family, Datang Tianjiang is like a luxury product, and every household starts to compare with it. If you don't have it, then you can't be called a wealthy family.
In this case, the Cui family directly entered the game and won Luoyang and Jiangnan. Their share was no less than that of Li Xiang and the Changsun family. Even if they gave up fifty states, if the total economic value was calculated, it would still be no less than before. Knowing how much it has doubled, it is considered a win-win situation.
Cui Yunzhu also understood this, but he was still angry in his heart. Whenever he thought of Li Xiang's appearance in his mind, a burning feeling came over his face. Those two slaps would never be forgotten.
"What about the Tuyuhun people? Are we taking advantage of Li Xiang so much? Are we giving him this news for nothing?"
Cui Yunzhu thought of another thing. Their investigation of the assassination that day was about the same, and they were almost 80% able to identify the Tyuhun people. But just telling Li Xiang like this made Cui Yunzhu feel unhappy.
"You idiot, didn't you hear what he said later? If I didn't come up with something real, could he trade liquor with us so quickly? The fact that he said this now shows that their output is by no means The announced output is 150 kilograms per day, and their output is indeed very high. If you don't go into the water, by the time you want to go out, they will already have other partners."
Mr. Cui said angrily, "It has been investigated anyway, and this information is of no use in our hands. It is better to be a favor and establish a cooperative relationship with Li Xiang one day earlier. We can also make money one day earlier. Guarding one What are you doing with useless news?
In addition, Cui Sanye told Li Xiang the news because he also wanted to see how strong the armed force Li Xiang had.
Tuyuhun's strength in Chang'an is not weak. In addition to the warriors accompanying their prince, there are also a large number of merchants. As long as their prince gives an order, the escorts in the hands of these merchants can also be assembled. If Li Xiang wants to To find trouble with them, you have to use strong armed forces. When the Tang Dynasty did not announce the plan to deal with Tuyuhun, Li Xiang had no way to use official forces. Let's just take a look at Li Xiang's armed forces.
After hearing these explanations, Cui Yunzhu felt a little better. He also had various doubts about the armed forces in Li Xiang's hands. He could actually be stronger than Hou Junji's people. How did it develop? Usually these Where do people train? Why do we have no news at all?
"Third Master, you must have heard about the Zhi Da Bao in the East Palace. Will it shake our foundation?"
Cui Yuncheng raised another question, and that was about Li Xiang's newly opened Zhi Da Bao. It is said that it is also a pawn shop. If it is spread all over the world, it will be on par with the Cui family's core industry.
"I have already investigated this matter. It is said that it will not be spread all over the world. The main business is not the pawnshop, but the money exchange. The business here is not big, not to mention that the pawnshop is not my family's business, and Taiyuan Wang family, please wait and see what happens."
Liquor is an industry monopolized by the Cui family, so they jumped to the forefront. Pawnshops are the Cui family's pillar industry, but the Cui family does not have a monopoly. If Li Xiang challenges, he must bring other companies on board to save us from being in the front. Fighting, they eat meat in the back.
What's more, in the pawnshop industry, Mr. Cui doesn't think that Li Xiang can break in. This requires huge financial support. Although Li Xiang has made a lot of money, if he wants to open pawnshops all over the world, there is no one. A few million dollars is not enough. With Li Xiang's current economic strength, it is simply unreachable.
When the time comes, people bring their things to your place to pawn them, and you don’t have enough money. Isn’t that just a pawn shop?
