Chapter 766: Estrangement(1/2)
Hearing this, Lin Dong could also hear that Yang Fan wanted to deal with the Zhu family.
Although being a salt dealer was not the original choice of the Lin family, Lin Dong had to carefully think about the future path of the Lin family.
Should we stick to the original shipbuilding industry or switch to Yang Fan's leadership to obtain the salt factory indicators?
For a moment, Lin Dong didn't know what to do.
Lin Mo, who had been sitting aside without saying a word, suddenly asked: "I dare to ask the Grand Governor, if our Lin family focuses on salt making, can the Grand Governor ensure that our Lin family can obtain enough profits from it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wan couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his forehead. The Xiao family's children who were listening were also in disbelief.
Isn’t this a question of whether to make money or not?
This is a matter of position, a matter of taking sides.
If you grab the Zhu family’s salt farm, it’s equivalent to standing on Yang Fan’s side.
Lin Mo was also a little embarrassed by everyone's eyes, but he still looked at Yang Fan tightly.
In his opinion, whoever gives more benefits, then follow whoever is there any trouble?
There are many dirty things between aristocratic families. Can you talk about feelings?
In the past, those families who were searched by Yang Fan did not see anyone talking about their feelings and helping each other when they were in trouble.
Yang Fan smiled and said he wanted to like you, so he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Lin speaks quickly and is not artificial, and he is worthy of being a sincere gentleman! As for whether the salt farm can make profits, it depends on whether you work hard."
"If you follow the method of this governor, I can guarantee that the profits you made by your Lin family are definitely more than twice that of the original shipbuilding industry. If there is any deficiency, this governor will make up for you."
"If you can sell your salt overseas, the salt farm will definitely be a mountain of gold and silver."
The Lin brothers looked at each other, obviously very moved.
Since Yang Fan can guarantee that it is twice the income of their Lin family before, a fool will not do it!
Just in case, Lin Dong still wanted to know more thoroughly, so he asked, "Grandmaster, I wonder how much refined salt can be produced in a salt field every year?"
Yang Fan stretched out a finger and said calmly: "As long as there are enough workers in every salt field, the annual output of sea salt is absolutely no less than one million stones!"
One stone in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to 80 kilograms and one million kilograms. What is the output?
Equivalent to 80 million jin!
According to the 40 million population of the Tang Dynasty, a person can use up to about three kilograms of fine salt a year.
A salt factory can almost provide the entire Tang Dynasty with the need for breaking its promise.
The current salt price is almost 40 cents per catty, and 80 million jin is calculated at about 40 cents per catty.
This is equivalent to millions of income. Even if you remove the costs and the repayments required every year, the profit will be at least about 200,000 jin.
A net profit of about 200,000 pounds will be a huge fortune.
You should know that their Lin family has been in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, and the Lin family has not yet exceeded 1 million.
Now it only takes a few years to accumulate wealth of hundreds of years, which is simply a huge profit.
The most important thing is that this is a business that is stable and profitable. As long as the sea water is inexhaustible, it will be inexhaustible!
After roughly calculating in his heart, Lin Mo's eyes turned red, and he turned to look at his elder brother, without any concealment of the urgency in his eyes.
In his opinion, the Lin family will be developed in their generation.
Lin Dong looked at his brothers and smiled helplessly.
This brother is too ideal!
You should know that Yang Fan has planned ten salt factories, and it is impossible for him to occupy the Datang salt market.
Of course, it does not mean that the salt farm does not make money, but depends on the business methods.
As Yang Fan said, it is still easy for the Lin family to make a profit of tens of thousands of yuan.
If you want to achieve your greatest goal, you must sell these salts overseas.
In this way, the efforts will inevitably be greater.
However, it's all worth it.
But there is another problem now, that is, the Zhu family.
It is even harder to snatch the salt field from the Zhu family than climbing to the sky.
You should know that this has touched the bottom line of the Zhu family.
Of course, Lin Dong also understood that Yang Fan was revenge on the intention of the Zhu family to deliberately unite with each other and refused to pay.
But is it possible for the Lin family to turn against the Zhu family directly for these interests?
Seeing that Lin Dong wanted to speak but stopped, Lin Mo's mind gradually calmed down.
Originally, he calculated that the salt farm had such an amazing profit, so he naturally wanted to persuade his brother to agree.
But when I thought about it, I didn't speak again.
Yang Fan is cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot!
How could the Zhu family give up when competing with the Zhu family for salt factory indicators?
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents.
What's more, salt trading is the pillar industry that the Zhu family relies on to maintain.
Once Yang Fan promises to grab the Zhu family’s indicators, it will be a situation where he will never stop with the Zhu family!
No matter how much profit is, Lin Dong will never allow such a decision. It is almost equivalent to starting a war against the Zhu family, and it may be more than worth the loss.
But Yang Fan smiled disapprovingly at this time: "I know the concerns of the two. If the Zhu family pays the money well, I will naturally welcome you. If you dare to cheat and cheat, there is no need for the Zhu family in Jiangnan. Do you dare to take over the salt farm business then?"
No Zhu family?
Everyone present was shocked.
It seems that what the Zhu family did has touched Yang Fan's bottom line, and this is to take action against the Zhu family.
Yang Fan came to the Xiao family here not to find out any news, but to warn the Xiao family to be optimistic about the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and not to get involved in it.
Only then did Lin Dong realize that Yang Fan was not afraid of everyone’s breach of contract.
If anyone breached the contract, Yang Fan would do whatever he wanted.
Lin Dong felt a little ridiculous.
I originally thought that Yang Fan would be worried about the united aristocrats in Jiangnan.
It seems that Yang Fan doesn't take them seriously at all.
Lin Mo was also shocked by Yang Fan's domineering words, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If he did not show his loyalty, he was really afraid that Yang Fan would also include their Lin family as the target of elimination.
The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more scared. Lin Mo pulled Lin Dong and whispered: "Brother, why don't we agree?"
The reason why I say such words is that I am afraid on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a trend of interest.
A salt farm can produce millions of stones of salt annually. If you cooperate with Yang Fan to open up the overseas market, the profit will definitely be great.
It's just a robbery of money!
What's more, Yang Fan in Jiangnan is now a local tyrant, and only by holding Yang Fan's thighs is the wisest choice.
This time, even Lin Dong couldn't sit still, so he quickly expressed his opinion:
"Since the Grand Governor takes care of our Lin family in this way, if Lin still cares about the situation, wouldn't he let down the Chief Governor's wishes?"
"We brothers will follow you in the future, and we will follow your leader. From now on, no matter how many swords and fires are there, our Lin family will never frown in just one word!"
Hearing these flattering words, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh.
You can pull it down!
This is okay to deceive a three-year-old child.
Use it to fool me?
If I asked you to take people to attack the Zhu family now, you might not dare to leave any of them.
However, Yang Fan naturally didn't need the Lin family to take the lead.
For him, if the Zhu family dared to resist, only by taking action could he intimidate these Jiangnan gentry members and accelerate the collapse of the Jiangnan gentry alliance.
As for giving the Lin family some benefits, Yang Fan didn't feel sorry for him at all. After all, Yang Fan could not hold all the industries in his own hands, and there were mainly people to develop these industries.
Seeing that the Lin family chose the camp with Yang Fan and Roots and Sticks, Xiao Wan quickly congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Lin for making the right choice!"
"Happy together!" Lin Dong quickly returned the gift, but the smile on his face became even happier.
If you have money, you won’t make money, you’ll be bastard!
Seeing the two compliments each other, Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "Old Xiao, since I have given me benefits to the guests, of course I cannot forget you, the master. This time I come, I want to give the Xiao family a future. I wonder if Mr. Xiao will accept it or not?"
Xiao Wan was stunned and asked with some difficulty in self-confidence: "Future?"
If the Xiao family members want to be officials, there will naturally be Xiao Yu recommending him in the court. It is not your turn to Yang Fan to give them a future.
