Chapter 279 Weijia Haitu
The Sun and Wei families came faster than expected. The next morning the message was sent, they arrived in Fuyu quickly. They came in a row, and the team led by Sun Zhijie and Wei Changqing.
After coming to Fuyu and meeting the manager, he just learned a little about the information and hurried to the Weihai Gangzhong Hall with the manager.
"Master Fang, don't be fine!" Before the introduction, Sun Zhijie looked at him with a complicated look. He thought Fang Chen was arrogant and wanted to get water. Unexpectedly, this kid didn't know whether he should be smart or treacherous, and he was not honest at all. He returned to Fuyu in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know when he hooked up with the Wei family.
Fang Chen smiled and replied, "Thank Elder Sun for blessing, everything is fine. Before I could just return to Fuyu, I would send someone a message to Elder Sun."
Sun Zhijie is an elder of foreign affairs, and his status is not much different from that of Sun Zhitong, the chief manager of Fuyu, who is in charge. He was the first to propose cooperation and had contact with Fang Chen, and his responsibilities fell on him. Otherwise, based on the current situation of the Sun family and the importance of cooperation, the person responsible for negotiations is at least the chief elder.
It is said that being able to become the person in charge is a good thing, and a great success is a great success, but when he thought of being deceived by this kid and almost being punished when he returned, Sun Zhijie always felt a little resentful.
He was about to squeeze out a few words, but Wei Changming, the chief manager of the Wei family, suddenly interrupted, "Haha, Brother Zhijie is not in a hurry to reminisce about the past. Head of the Fang family, let me introduce it. This is a sixth brother, Wei Changqing, and also a powerful person in the Wei family."
Although Wei Changming is not a direct lineage and is quite different from Wei Changqing, his father is the younger brother of the former head of the family and his mother is the last concubine to be accepted by the thirteenth wife. Therefore, although he is similar to Wei Boxiong's generation, his seniority is the same as Wei Changqing.
"Mr. Fang, we meet again!" Wei Changqing nodded and said with a calm smile, with no expression of coldness or shame or anger as he had at the beginning.
Fang Chen said intimately that there are no one among the gentry who can make a name for themselves, but he said respectfully on the surface: "Hello, Senior Wei! You are already waiting for the grand ceremony!"
Seeing that he was humble and well-polite, Wei Changqing gave him enough face, and did not have the arrogance and arrogance of success in his youth, he felt a little relieved and secretly praised him, no wonder he had achieved his current achievements at a young age.
Sun Zhijie saw it and thought that they had met them privately, but Wei Changqing came forward in person. No wonder the man stared at Fang Chen without any sense of anything. He thought that Wei Changqing, like him, met in the county town. It is indeed difficult for people to notice that the innate powerhouses are willing to hide.
But it's good, the Sun family is afraid that there are some shortcomings, so the Wei family will be much simpler.
"My friend invites you, so you will naturally come. The head of the family agreed to what you asked that day." Wei Changqing smiled, his words a little vague, but it showed the sincerity of the Wei family.
Fang Chen's eyes lit up, but he also knew how to be a human being. He immediately said gratefully: "Thank you for your fulfillment, I am grateful for it! Senior Wei, please come in!"
People who don’t know why thought how harmonious their meeting was. In the end, Fang Chen asked for something, and Wei Changqing also took care of him and responded, so he deliberately went back to find the head of the family.
But only the person involved knows what the actual situation is.
After entering the hall, the guest and the host sat down and greeted each other again. Fang Chen was gradually accustomed to the way the gentry talked, and was not anxious, and slowly followed them to talk nonsense.
After chatting for a while, when he saw that he had not reached the main topic, Sun Zhijie couldn't help it. "The head of the Fang family is very knowledgeable, and Sun admires it. However, there is still something important to talk about today, so I can only stop it for the time being. The head of the Fang family, I don't know if there is an agenda for cooperation?"
The Sun family urgently needed to reverse the family's decline, so they were most anxious about going to sea. At the beginning, they forced Fang Chen to compromise by attacking the convoy. Later, they saw that the Huo family was weak and the profits were far less than other families, and the family gap further widened. After Fang Chen arrived at the county town, he put on his leather and brought Baozeng to visit the door to seek cooperation, and some clues could be seen.
Fang Chen already knew the situation of the Sun family, and sneered in his heart, and did not point it out on the surface. He followed his words: "Elder Sun laughed. Fang had never gone far away, and what he said was just the wisdom of others. As for cooperation, it was ready-made. Why not follow the rules of those two families as usual?"
Wei Changqing and Sun Zhijie's eyes lit up and said, "Good!"
The Sun family took the initiative to seek cooperation, and the negotiations were already inferior, while Wei Changqing fought. Knowing Fang Chen's strength and strength, both of them were ready for hard negotiations, and the family also gave some permission to give concessions.
Who would have thought that Fang Chen did not take the opportunity to compete for profit, so he cooperated according to the original rules, and the result was better than they expected.
The cooperation of the seven families gave not much difference, only a few subtle differences. For example, the Fang family's restrictions on purchasing medicines, and the gentry itself did not have such restrictions, they would be taken care of from other aspects. But they all have one thing in common: the seven families themselves don't have much effort, which may be important to the Fuyu forces, but it is a small task for them.
Fang Chen had thought about striving for greater benefits, but there were not many people in the seven families who could make him fall in love with him. 30% of Haili was obviously unchanged at present. The two families of hundreds of years of Baoginseng and Bao Medicine probably would not give them any more, so there would not be much left to ask for.
He was not like the aristocrats who needed official care and could produce and sell goods by themselves. Instead of competing with those dispensable things, it would be better to be generous and gain a good reputation. For him, it would be enough to get the permission of Sun and Wei families to purchase medicines.
"Head of the Fang family, I don't know when it can start?" Sun Zhijie followed, and he wanted to go back and call people immediately.
Wei Changqing chuckled, and Sun Zhijie immediately woke up and clasped his fists a little embarrassedly, saying, "Sun is so lazy, don't blame me, I'll make a decision on this matter when I met those two families."
Sun and Wei families inserted, Zhong and Liu naturally would not be indifferent, and would inevitably send people to come. Everything would take the four families to negotiate before they could decide.
The two of them can only restrain themselves, and it is impossible to really kick Zhong and Liu out. If the maritime interests are really cut off, it would be strange if the Zhong and Liu families are not furious. Therefore, at most, they are to re-dividend the interests. In other words, how much support shares are obtained from the Fang family are related to huge benefits, so naturally they have to explain clearly in advance before they can start.
Fang Chen said, "I want to see you, but it is not impossible to prepare in advance. There are three forts, seven towns and eleven towns in Fuyu. Fang is not talented, but he is supported by two forts, six towns and ten towns. Each town has at least two hundred warriors. The county town is also trusted by many wealthy gentry families, with hundreds of warriors, plus eight hundred kids in Fang's family..."
Speaking of this, he stretched out a slap and chuckled, "Our family lineage can currently mobilize less than 5,000 people. I think it's enough for you families."
When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath. They didn't even calculate the Fang team. Fang Chen once said that he could transfer tens of thousands of warriors, but they still felt that they were a little exaggerated, but now they still seemed to be conservative.
There are at least thousands of people in a township, but now there are only two hundred warriors in a township. If we continue to train, it will not be difficult to double the number of warriors.
No wonder the two companies were not satisfied with their cooperation and wanted to swallow the Fang family. Now they finally know the reason. If they were the two companies that cooperated with them, they would probably be jealous.
The seven families have big businesses and big businesses, and the number of people they can draw is limited. If they cooperate, going to sea will naturally be restricted. But if they swallow the Fang family, the Fang team will naturally be their people. It will not be a problem to pull out dozens or even hundreds of large ships at that time, and the benefits are indeed too great.
"The head of the Fang family is indeed worthy of being a half city!" Sun Zhijie exclaimed, "I just don't know how many people my two families need to arrange?"
Their families have different personnel from their ships to sea. Before, they dominated, but only sent a team of masters to take charge, while the rest were people from the Fuyu forces. They were all busy with dirty and tiring work, and when they met thieves, they were all Fuyu warriors to do it. They only needed to take action at the right time, and they were very idle in normal times.
But it was obviously not so comfortable to cooperate with the Fang family. Fang Chen's strength and they also heard of Fang Chen's strength. The requests of Zhong and Liu families were rejected several times, forcing them to compromise and send more people to sea with the ship. This also made the Fang forces very grateful to him, convinced, and loyal to them far exceeds their forces.
Fang Chen nodded seriously and said, "There are no less than ten people in each ship, at least one of the ten people is acquired. The fleet is in charge of the strong, and at least one of the perfect realm and two great realm." This configuration is necessary, and he will not make any concessions.
Most of the pirates have several powerful leaders, and the following are mobs. As long as this configuration does not meet the main ship of the pirates, it can already cope with most situations.
At the same time, it can also avoid meeting powerful figures like Sha Biao. The warriors are afraid of them and give up some ships as abandoned children. Each ship has its own acquired warriors. If you see if you save them, do you want to save them? If they can even give up their family, why can't the ordinary warriors in the square be reluctant to give up?
Sun Zhijie said: "Can the rest of the people have any requirements?"
"That's not the case. You can fight when you encounter a thief." Fang Chen shook his head and said. These people are coming to suppress the slaughter. If you have something to do, you will die together. No one can do it alone to treat Fang Shi as cannon fodder. Even ordinary people in the sect have no objection.
The two looked at each other, and Sun Zhijie laughed loudly and said, "This is reasonable, my Sun family has no objection."
"The Wei family can do it too!" Wei Changqing did not object.
Each ship has one acquired master, and the cooperation between the acquired masters sent by him is almost the same as that of his team. They are only divided into each ship and cannot be arranged at will as they used to. The extra people from each ship are within the scope of their two families, and the current family's personnel are completely enough to rotate twice a year.
Fang Chen and the others knew that the thoughts were nothing more than sharing risks, which was somewhat different from their previous practices.
They naturally want to ensure the safety of their families as much as possible, and all the risks are left to the people of Fuyu. They did this before when they cooperated with the Huo family and the Wei family, but their cooperation with Fang Chen was obviously not good.
Fang Chen is very stubborn in this regard. In recent years, he has clashed with Zhong and Liu families several times, and in the end the two families can only compromise.
Therefore, they did not think that Fang Chen could let go of this matter, so they agreed very simply to avoid external troubles.
Fortunately, there are not many ten people in a boat, and the risk they share is not large, and they are completely under the burden of both of them.
After reaching a consensus, the two families will immediately start preparing for goods, personnel, cars and horses to go out to sea. Of course, how much resources can the Fang family be divided and how many ships can be added, it still needs to be met with Zhong and Liu before they can decide.
After saying some more gossip, the two left with satisfaction. Fang Chen personally sent it outside the gate, and then returned to check what they brought.
The gentry values "ritual" and asks others for help, so they will naturally not come to the door empty-handed.
When I opened the Wei family gift box, there was a long box and a scroll of painting on the top. Fang Chen picked up the box and opened it carefully. It was indeed a ginseng plant with excellent quality.
After counting the reed bowls roughly, they were only 150 years old, which was worse than the Sun family. He curled his lips. The Wei family was really stingy. He was so stingy that he could come to the door in person and even wanted to see him.
He looked at the treasure ginseng for a while, pulled off all the ginseng thorns, took out another box with only half of the treasure ginseng left and put it in, and shouted, "Come here!"
Soon a servant ran in, Fang Chen handed over the box with his body, "Take it to the backyard and hand it over to the third brother, so that he can practice well."
He attached great importance to the impact of the stone pillar, but once he had unlimited potential for success in the future, he could follow his steps to complete the Shaolin martial arts system, cultivate seventy-two unique skills, and become another strongest man in Shaolin.
But seeing that the realm of God is a bit mysterious, and there is no number at all, so he planned to use the innate energy of the treasure ginseng to push it. He originally wanted to leave the remaining small ginseng body of the Sun family for him, but now it is naturally the best to have the whole plant. It is still very cost-effective to exchange a treasure ginseng for a future boss of Shaolin.
After the servant left, Fang Chen picked up the scroll and opened it. He saw a clear topographic map on it, but the large area was blank, with only a few flowing lines, and two big words "Sea area" were written on it.
Fang Chen showed joy on his face, Wei Family Nakada!
He hurriedly looked at it carefully. The sea map was relatively simple, but the general direction could be distinguished. The Fuyu coastline and port location were clearly marked. There was a large area of sea area and islands scattered on the sea.
To sum up, there are at least hundreds of islands, but most of them are only marked with locations and are not marked. There are only seven marked on them and given the island name.
Three of them also have red circles, namely Majiao Island, Cancer Island, and Wanshe Island. Next to Majiao Island, the word "Wei" is specially written, and the ink is very new and clearly marked temporarily.
Fang Chen touched his chin and it seemed that these three were the mineral treasure islands discovered by the Wei family. This Majiao Island was also planned to be used as a family's private land.
The chart is a little old, but not too old. It should have been copied and backed up later. Now it is a waste of effort to send it directly. The word "Wei" is very new. I think it was deliberately written to remind myself, otherwise the Wei family would use the charts themselves, so why would it take forever?
The name of Mishima is simple and clear. He knows that Majima has both the characteristics of pepper and chili. It is a very good seasoning and the price is also considerable. If it can be grown in large quantities, it will definitely be a great source of wealth. Majima is a island that is rich or suitable for growing Majima.
