I’m The King Chapter 1348: : Han Banner World (38) Cao Wending

"Cao Wending, do you think Wang Jian will agree?" Sun Xiao looked at the young man standing in front of him and asked suspiciously. Although the Cao Wending in front of me was young, he was very valued by his father-in-law. When he appeared in front of him with his father-in-law's handwritten letter a few days ago, he really surprised him. The father-in-law obviously trusted him so much that he actually entrusted him with such a major matter that would affect the prosperity of the entire Cao family for decades to come.

"My lord, please don't worry, Wang Jian will definitely agree." Cao Wending said confidently, "Wang Jian is a very realistic person, when he came to our big man, he saw the huge gap between his country and our big man. It wasn't something he could change in a short period of time, so he immediately became a vassal of the country. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that if the big man wanted to plot against him, he would be unable to resist with his strength, so he would definitely be a bachelor in the end and hand over these matters to Let's do it. Firstly, it can solve the problems he is facing now, secondly, it can also resolve our big man's suspicion of him, thirdly!

Cao Wending couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Sun Xiao couldn't help asking.

"He must have thought that we did this at the behest of the king, so even if he was a little reluctant, he would still agree."

"Why do you think he will have such a view?" Sun Xiaoqi asked.

"My lord, you have forgotten the background of the Cao family, so there is no need to talk about the master. Young master, and you, you are all very popular figures in the big man, and you have won the trust of the king. Such a family with a deep court background came Doesn't Wang Jian think that this is what the king meant when he did this?" Cao Wending explained.

"You, you counted the king into this." Sun Xiao retorted, "This is the first time since I followed the king, I used my power for personal gain and revealed to you about Wang Jian. If the king finds out about the matter, I'm afraid I'll die after a meal."

"You can't hide it from the king." Cao Wending said bluntly: "But I think the king will be happy to see it."

"Why do you say that?" Sun Xiao asked.

Cao Wending sighed: "Grandpa, in fact, the ride has reached a bottleneck. Over the years, the old club has used his influence in the court and the army to almost take over the transportation business of the entire court. The expansion speed of Shunfengmaxing is really amazing. Do you think that as the king, he is willing to see such a situation of dominance? You know, the transportation industry of the entire Dahan is almost controlled by the Cao family. With?"

"The Cao family has always been loyal to the king." Sun Xiao changed his face.

"Your Majesty is clearly aware of this loyalty, but this does not prevent him from being unhappy. No Majesty would be willing to see this kind of situation. If you take a step back, even if Majesty is at ease, you Do you think the Zhengshitang will be at ease? Do you think those people in the Great Council will be at ease? From a public point of view, this matter involves national security. From a private point of view, with such a big piece of fat, it is difficult for no one to Want to take a bite?"

Sun Xiao took a deep breath, what Cao Wending said was not unreasonable.

"Now that the Zhengshitang and the military have begun to support other forces, the business volume of Anda Chariots and Horses has increased by 300% in this year. Most of their increased business is In the First Military Region, these businesses were all in our pocket before." Cao Wending continued: "The old club has seen this situation. If we don't make another plan, I'm afraid it will be a disaster in the future. "

"That's not the case, is it?" Sun Xiao's face changed slightly.

Cao Wending smiled, "Grandpa, it is not very difficult for our Cao family to capsize. For example, in the next major battles to destroy Chu and Ping Qin, as long as we undertake the freight once If something big happens, what kind of situation do you think we will face? At that time, even if the king is willing to come out to guarantee it. According to the current law of the big man, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the crime. Do you want to ask the king for an amnesty?"

"Father-in-law actually thinks the matter has reached such a serious point?" Sun Xiao's voice changed a little.

"Think about what happened to Li Can. Li Can tried to monopolize overseas trade. I must know what he did. Although he was not accused of crimes, he was demoted to the end. Even his son Li Quan He was also implicated, from a promising naval general to an inland river defense general. Looking at the current maritime trade, the Li family has been suppressed by this, and other maritime merchants have taken the opportunity to rise. How can the former Fenzhou maritime merchants compete? Cangzhou maritime merchants, but now, Fenzhou maritime merchants have the upper hand."

Sun Xiao fell silent.

"So the old club came to me to discuss. My suggestion to the old club is to shrink the domestic transportation business of Dahan and diversify the investment, so that no one can use us as a target. The old club also adopted my suggestion. Now the old owner hardly cares about the transportation business, and spends a lot of energy on dispersing Cao's investment. Now Cao has participated in more than a dozen company workshops, and our main transportation business has declined in the past six months. 30%, and it looks like it will continue to decline.”

"In this way, wouldn't those people who have been working hard with their father-in-law all these years lose their jobs?"

"The transportation industry is our main business. It would be a pity to lose it completely, and we can't make it too obvious. At this moment, Wang Jian appeared at the right time. The business has been transferred to his territory, and we will go to such a distant place to open up a new battlefield, and we will not be suspected of it anymore." Cao Wending said with a smile. "Besides, this is also a good thing for the big man. We can penetrate deeper into Wang Jian's regime, can't we?"

"For an interest-free loan of four million yuan, and a large-scale investment in Wang Jian's territory, it may cost several million yuan. Where did father-in-law find so much money?" Sun Xiao The analysis of Cao Wending has no meaning at this time. Obviously, Cao Tiancheng's decision is correct, but he doubts where Cao's got so much money.

"My uncle underestimated the strength of the Cao family. In fact, it is not difficult for the Cao family to spend several million yuan now. Of course, in this way, the Cao family will inevitably be affected by other industries. It has been affected, so when I came, the old club had already decided to join forces with the Mei family and the Wu family to do this."

"Mei and Wu?" Sun Xiao was taken aback, "If the two of them are willing to participate, there is really no problem."

"The Mei family is in the limelight now, but his family has a weak foundation and is not capable of being the leader in the industry. The second son in charge of the Mei family, Mei Su, is looking for new business opportunities and hit it off with us. Wu's wine industry In the past two years, we have encountered strong challenges. With the disclosure of distillation technology to the world, other distilleries in Dahan are also rising strongly. On the low-end market, Wu's has almost lost everything. In the high-end market, they are also being attacked by their opponents. All they can keep is the reputation of the old brand built over the years and the top high-end market. However, the sales volume of the high-end market is bound to be limited, so they also To find other ways out, after the old owner made this suggestion, the old Wu family also warmly welcomed it." Cao Wending said with a smile: "Our three companies decided to form a joint stock company. Because Cao's itself is a leader in this industry, it not only has Sufficient means of transportation and talents, experience in warehousing and logistics are not comparable to them, and there is also a road construction team that has moved to the north and south. No matter how difficult the road is, it will not be difficult for us, so we are in this company. The company holds 40% of the shares, and the two of them hold 30% of the shares." Cao Wending said.

"Do you think such a large investment can recover the cost and make a profit in Wang Jian?" Sun Xiao asked with some doubts.

"Of course, after He Lanjie came back, we inquired about the specific situation there, and it was much better than we expected. The cost of building roads will not be too high, my lord, after all, it is a country with a radius of thousands of miles. , let's go in, this is a unique business, no one can challenge us, and relying on our road advantage and friendship with Wang Jian's government, there is no barrier for us to enter his industry, which is not like being in the big man , everything has restrictions, everything has laws, where we can do many things without any scruples, can't we?"

"That's right, if you want to do other business, relying on the advantages of transportation costs, it's enough to make others lose their heads." Sun Xiao said.

"So this first step is just the beginning. The last thing we want to do is to fully grasp the economic lifeline of Wang Jian's government." Cao Wending said earnestly.

Hearing this, Sun Xiao looked Cao Wending up and down: "Wending, this whole plan should be drawn up by you. In my image, my father-in-law absolutely does not have such a brain that can arrange everything Think so clearly."

"Young master praised me, and my old boss told me about his worries. I came up with this plan based on Wang Jian's matter." Cao Wending said with a smile.

"You are a high-achieving student from the Ming Suan Department of Jicheng University~IndoMTL.com~I heard that the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance both wanted you, but why didn't you become an official somewhere and go to my father-in-law?" Sun Xiao asked road.

Cao Wending smiled, "My uncle must know everything about me, I think the young master must have inquired about the eighteen generations of my ancestors, right?"

Sun Xiao chuckled, but did not answer this question.

"Whether I go to the Central Bank or the Ministry of Finance, I have to start as a small clerk with a meager salary and have to let my boss order me around. I am proud and arrogant. No way, go to Shunfeng, the old club promoted me as assistant manager in the first year I went there, and this year even entrusted me with all the important matters related to the prosperity of the Cao family, and I can command hundreds of people , easily mobilized millions of taels of silver, and even Mei Su and Wu Tianjiao, the second child of the Wu family, politely called Brother Cao when they saw me, uncle, which one do you think I want to choose?" Cao Wending laughed, "And now It's not easy to be a big man's official!"

Hearing what Cao Wending said, Sun Xiao also laughed, "It's really hard to be fooled. A few days ago, I was questioned by the representatives of Dayan County." (To be continued.)
