Mo Zhinian looked at Wu Zheng inadvertently. Seeing that Wu Zheng did not respond, Mo Zhinian smiled and said, "Two, Mo is indeed the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but you must also know that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is just a loose alliance and has no relationship between superiors and subordinates. Everyone is nothing more than shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce. Although Mo is the president, he can never ask about the specific operations of each business."

This is the level of conversation, and it makes people unable to refute this matter.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is a group that gathers most wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, but the Chamber of Commerce does not have specific operating rights for the business names of the merchants under its jurisdiction. This is a fact.

Fan Yongdou glanced at Wu Zheng and smiled and said, "Mr. Mo, you and I are both people who have been doing business for many years... They are also sensible people. If you say this thoroughly, it will hurt your kindness. If it were not for the sake of the prince and Lord Mo, it would not be difficult for me to suppress these businesses. I am just doing business. I don't want to get into evil with the prince and Lord Mo. I hope the prince and Lord Mo will observe clearly."

Seeing that Wu Zheng was still not moving, Mo Ji smiled and said, "Of course Mo knew that the two were the imperial merchants of the Qing court. With the support of the Qing court in Jiangbei, they would naturally be able to do things easily. But don't forget that the business name of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is not something that anyone can move as soon as they want. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

These words were thorny, which changed Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku's face. If they really dared to take action, why should they come here?

The Qing court had not yet indulged them to the point where they could start a war with Jiangnan.

Of course, they also knew that it would be a matter of time before the war started, but it wasn't that time yet.

But during this period of time, if the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce continues to do this, their losses will be huge.

Under the eight major imperial merchants, there are thousands of shops everywhere, and nearly 100,000 employees need to be raised and the goods need to be brought in, but if the goods are in, they cannot be sold, so this is troublesome.

Therefore, if they really want to take action, they can only fight a price war, that is to say, the eight royal merchants united to fight for consumption with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

But in this way, it is more painful for them, such as the wealthy slaves who wish they could turn into three petals, than cutting their flesh.

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku's eyes were met, and Fan Yongdou stood up and bowed to Wu Zheng: "Prince, we are all businessmen. It is said that people do not fight with officials, and there is also the saying that harmony makes money... In this way, please raise your hand. If there is any conditions, you can talk about it."

Now Mo Zhinian couldn't make any comments, so he could only look at Wu Zheng, because Wu Zheng had to take charge of this matter.

But Wu Zheng kept squinting, as if he was asleep.

Time passed little by little, and Fan Yongdou's bent body was trembling and he could hardly hold on.

Wang Dengku had no choice but to get up and said, "Prince, please send me a message so that we can understand."

Wu Zheng yawned for a long time and finally opened his eyes, "I don't understand business. But I think that each business has its own tricks. As long as you don't steal or rob, you pay taxes on time, you will do whatever you like. Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will have money but nowhere to spend it, so they will let it go. After tossing the money, it will naturally stop."

These words made Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku really laugh and cry.

They had no choice but to ask for help and look at Mo Zhongnian.

Mo Zhinian was also puzzled in his heart, what Wu Zheng meant, but he knew Wu Zheng's most basic intention, so he reminded: "You two may not know that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is not going to compete with you for customers, but this matter... has a cause."

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku were stunned.

Fan Yongdou asked anxiously: "But we accidentally offended the prince and Lord Mo?"

Mo Zhinian said: "It's not a question of offense, but the North didn't lend some raw materials needed by Jiangnan very promptly, and there was a situation where the price was raised, which made the prince unhappy."

"Please tell me clearly what kind of goods it is?"

"Coal, copper, iron and other ores."

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku looked at each other and sighed in a long tone.

"Prince, Lord Mo, this matter must be a misunderstanding. The court has never banned the trafficking of coal and ore to the south, so we have never secretly stopped it... As for the price on the ground, it is very likely that some unscrupulous merchants saw that the demand for such goods in Jiangnan was increased, and it was profitable, so they had a bad idea."

Mo Zhinian said: "So... is a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Must be misunderstanding!" Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku responded hurriedly.

Mo Zhengnian looked at Wu Zheng, Fan Yongdou, and Wang Dengku also looked at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "It's good that it's a misunderstanding. You are all trying to make some money, it's not easy."

“Yes, yes, not easy.”

"The coal, ore...?"

"I will definitely investigate strictly when I go back and will never allow similar incidents to happen again."

"Well...but Jiangnan needs coal and ore are growing day by day..."

"Don't worry, this is a good thing. Both sides benefit. We can increase the fleet for transporting south... How much does Jiangnan need in the future, how much will we transport, and we will never start the price."

"Well... But what if the north and the south suddenly get into evil, the Qing court issued an order to prohibit the transportation of such materials in the south?" Wu Zheng said lightly.

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku were stunned and his face changed a little.

Wu Zheng suddenly waved his hand and said, "Since you have not thought about it yet... Mr. Mo, please see me off for you."

Don't obsess over responding, "Yes."

Turning around to Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku said, "Please, please."

Fan Yongdou became anxious and said repeatedly: "Prince, let me wait and think about it... let me wait and think about it."

At this time, the two of them no longer had the slightest sense of being arrogant before. It would be fine if they didn't explain many things, at least they wouldn't be bad.

But once it is said that, unless the agreement is completed, it will be a broken face.

Even if they were imperial merchants, it was only Jiangbei. In Jiangnan, the young man in front of him had the final say.

In business, especially for businessmen like Fan Yongdou who have already spread their stalls infinitely, not making money is a dead end, because he has too many people to support and too much money to be respected, every year, or even monthly, let alone losing money.

Wu Zheng narrowed his eyes again, "Old Mo, pinch half an incense stick."

"yes."

Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku both bowed their hands, took a few steps back, and whispered in a low voice.

Mo Zhengnian ignited half of the incense and inserted it, and suddenly said, "Two, do you still need to think about this matter? The Qing court could not do anything about the eight prefectures of the Qingtai Dynasty, let alone the thirteen prefectures of the Yixing Dynasty. When doing business and doing business, it is equal to being convenient for oneself. If this is the case... Haha, the two of you continue to discuss, there will be no more time."

This sentence made Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku discuss the discussion faster.

Not long after, Fan Yongdou stepped forward and bowed, "I understand what the prince means. But this matter is related to our lives and lives... It's not that I can't agree to the prince, but... I still have to agree to me."
