Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 64 Wanguan Family Wealth

  The merchant got out of the carriage, immediately saluted Fang Jifan, and said modestly, "But Mr. Fang from Nanhe Bo's family?"

The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling are very interested in Fang Jifan. Of course, they are mainly interested in the money in Fang Jifan's family. They are surprised to think that they have recently heard that this kid has become a money-scattering boy again, but they don't know where the money came from. , maybe, I can still... Fool this big fool again.

  So the two brothers had thick skins and refused to leave.

Fang Jifan sized up the person who came. At this time, the sky was still covered with snow flakes and dark clouds rolled over. As soon as he got out of the car, his head was covered with a thin layer of snow. Deng Tong wants to discuss business with Mr. Fang."

  Sihai Firm.

  Fang Jifan may still look very indifferent.

But the Zhang family brothers looked at each other, but they were even more interested. The Four Seas Trading Company is a leader in Beijing. Everyone knows this. They deal in leather goods and silk, not only in the capital, but also in Nanjing, Suzhou Hangzhou and all the places that can be called famous have branches, and they even run a bank. As for this man named Deng Tong, he is the operator of a commercial bank in name, but everyone knows that he can do business like this. Da, the people behind this firm are not just mere businessmen. Some people have long speculated that the Four Seas Firm may be related to Wei Guogong, who is guarding Nanjing, and Dingguo Gongfu, who is in the capital.

  Wei Guogong and Dingguogong are both branches of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

  Even Fang Jifan's unreliable uncle, the British Duke Zhang Mao, is a few blocks behind the well-established Xu family.

   There are even rumors that a certain prince may be behind the Four Seas Trading Company. In a word, everyone knows that the Four Seas Trading Company is rich and powerful, and the Zhang brothers dare not provoke it easily.

  But... the Four Seas Trading Company, looking for Fang Jifan to do business?

  Deng Tong said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, it's snowing here, why don't you find a quiet place, you and I can have a good talk?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "I don't have time, let's talk here."

   Not to talk about it, Fang Jifan also knew what the other party wanted to talk about.

The Zhang family brothers were afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, so they would not let them talk in private, so they all said: "Yes, let's say here, don't let Jifan be fooled by you, Jifan calls your mother an aunt, we are your mother My brother, this successor is our nephew, and our Zhang family will never allow anyone to treat his nephew as an idiot." Zhang Heling was aggressive, as if he felt that the threat was not enough, and he emphasized his tone: "Never allow it!"

  The implication is that Fang Jifan is our Zhang family's dish, and only our Zhang family brothers are allowed to cheat. Whoever dares to take advantage of him, our Zhang family will fight him.

   Don't treat yourself as an outsider at all.

  Deng Tong frowned slightly, glanced at Fang Jifan, and said, "Sihai Trading Company, wants to buy Mr. Xia's piece of land in Xishan."

  The Zhang family brothers were stunned when they spoke.

   Are they wide-eyed, crazy? What is there to buy in that wasteland?

Deng Tong watched Fang Jifan's expression change at any time, and saw that the prodigal son looked indifferent: "We have inquired, Mr. Fang only holds half of Xishan's shares, but it doesn't matter, Sihai Commercial Bank, as long as this half, is willing to give Wenyin One million taels, I don’t know Mr. Fang, but are you interested?”

  One million taels...

  The expressions of the Zhang family brothers froze, especially Zhang Heling, he felt that his head was a little dazed.

   What's going on, what's going on here? Did I hear it wrong, or are people in this world crazy?

  Zhang Heling suddenly felt a heavy hammer hit his heart hard.

  It hurts... It doesn't hurt now, it's just that I'm suffocating.

   That piece of land was sold to Fang Jifan for 80,000 taels of silver!

  Zhang Yanling looked left and right, with a smile on his face, but more of an expression of disbelief, thinking that you were kidding me.

  Fang Jifan is very straightforward, you are kidding me, such a big gold mountain, you want to buy it for one million taels?

However, Fang Jifan admired the energy of the Four Seas Trading Company. Fang Jifan showed anthracite coal in the Chongwen Palace on the front foot, and the Four Seas Trading Company found it on the back foot. From this, it can be seen that the energy of the Four Seas Trading Company is amazing. They must have eyes and ears in the palace, and, Apparently...they had noticed the situation of Xishan a long time ago, and after confirming each other with the news they got from the palace, they judged the value of Xishan as quickly as possible.

  Fang Jifan gave Deng Tong a white look: "Not for sale!"

  It’s very simple, I have money, I don’t know how to earn it myself, so why should I sell you, what kind of green onion are you? How amazing are the top giants?

Deng Tong still had a smile on his face, he was not depressed at all, and without blinking his eyes, he made a decisive decision: "Then, three million taels, three million taels to buy the wasteland in Xishan. Silver, Mr. Fang is also aware of this, but the Four Seas Trading Company has land and fertile land, and in Beijing, Nanjing, and even Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are also shops, as long as you nod, you can convert it immediately!"

  Three...three million...

  Three million... just for the land in Xishan?

   Zhang Heling slapped, his legs were already weak, and he knelt straight in the snow. He murmured, but found that his throat was blocked and he couldn't make a sound, so his face turned red.

  Zhang Yanling blinked, as if saying, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion.

  Fang Jifan shook his head: "What are you talking about. If you don't sell it, you don't sell it!"

   Not for sale!

  Zhang Heling felt like he was going to pee, and he suddenly remembered that this piece of land seemed to belong to his own family, Xishan...wasteland...isn't this the Zhang family's land?

Deng Tong also just frowned slightly, and instead of being angry, he still showed regret: "Then four million taels, four million taels is already the highest price offered by a villain, and no villain can decide if it is higher. .”

   This is a huge business opportunity, and the Four Seas Trading Company will understand that, as the top business organization, their acumen is definitely the top of this era, so they need to do whatever it takes.

  Fang Jifan had no intention of selling it at all: "If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, and you don't sell it for five million taels of silver. Don't talk about it. Let's go."

Deng Tong smiled wryly and shook his head. He could clearly see that Fang Jifan's mind was determined. As for forcing Fang Jifan to sell the land, it was obviously unrealistic. Nanhebo Mansion is not a home of ordinary people. Although it is not as good as the people behind Sihai Commercial Company, it is also an object that cannot be plundered by force.

He had no choice but to bow his hands to Fang Jifan with regret: "Actually, even five million taels of silver is not unnegotiable, but it is too difficult to raise such a huge amount, but it is not impossible for the Four Seas Commercial Bank to raise money." After all, the land and fields of the Four Seas Trading Company, as well as the shops in various places, and the goods in the warehouses are still available. If the young master changes his mind at any time, he can come to find the villain, and the villain will definitely give the young master a more reasonable price, okay, leave."

  He didn't sloppy, bowed and saluted, and hurried into the carriage with a look of regret on his face.

  Five million taels of silver is not impossible to negotiate...

Zhang Heling knelt and stood in the snow blankly, his eyes glazed over. This place... belonged to the Zhang family. Back then, the Zhang family was taken advantage of by Fang Jifan and bought it for ten thousand taels of silver. The value had increased sixty times, and he suddenly felt that someone was gouging out his heart, it hurt, it hurt.

  Zhang Yanling's eyes widened, he was more direct, as if someone had robbed him of his money.

  Fang Jifan smiled and glanced at the two petrified men in the snow: "The two uncles..."

  How thick-skinned he is to call someone uncle.

  Fang Jifan continued to laugh and said, "I... I'm leaving..."

   Hot tears, at this moment, rolled down Zhang Heling's eyes, melting the stiffness on his face after being blown by the wind and snow. The tears could not be contained, and fell like broken beads.

Zhang Yanling opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say. He watched Fang Jifan take that heroic splayed step, and almost told others that Young Master Fang was walking sideways. Then, Fang Jifan's figure, It gradually disappeared into the snow.

The snow flakes are dancing wildly, the fog is rising, the cold street is like a dream, it seems that there are only two Zhang brothers in the world, they are like sculptures, one is kneeling, the other is standing bent, for a long time, Zhang Yanling's lips Trembling, he put his hand on his elder brother's shoulder tremblingly: "Brother, are we being fooled?"
