When Guo Dan first went to Jiangnan, he received great attention, but he was far less than the attention he received this time.

It is no exaggeration to say that during the short half-day journey from Yangzigou to Nanjing City, there were really ten steps along the way, and people kept sending messages to the city.

Of course, Guo Dan didn't go with nuclear weapons, and there was no one stud on ten steps, but there were too many people watching this matter.

The first time Guo Dan came to Nanjing was only involved in some debt crises, and most of the classes involved were concentrated in the industrial and commercial class, as well as a few large landlords. The problems were also concentrated in towns, and the bureaucrats in the countryside were not affected by any influence.

Ultimately, it's just a matter of profit and loss.

This time, almost all classes are involved, and it is not simply a problem of profit and loss. In the eyes of many people, this is more about their own life and death.

Because the new policy, Yinuocoin, coupled with Fengchi Group, will definitely break the existing system.

This involves all vested interests.

However, the situation in the Jiangnan region is more complicated than that in any region. It is not like Jiangxi, and it is one-sided to deal with Guo Dan. Otherwise, Wang Yie would not have sought to remain neutral.

It is because many officials, merchants, and landlords still support Guo Dan.

Mainly concentrated in towns.

This is because the education level in the Jiangnan region is relatively high, there are many scholars, and industry and commerce are already developed. Many of them are quite dissatisfied with the existing system, too corrupt and too dark, and they are eager to change.

But the stubborn old forces were very powerful, and most of the villages were opposed to Guo Dan. In addition, many powerful people in the capital also placed their bargaining chips on Nanjing.

Of course, this is also the reason why Guo Dan chose to make a breakthrough in Jiangnan. If he didn't support him, why would he come here?

Among them, the one who hates Guo Dan the most is the Salt Merchants Group.

Because the interests of the salt merchants in Lianghuai are very huge, and they maintain a very close relationship with the bureaucrats and the people, and their interests are really mixed. As long as Guo Dan asks for change, they will definitely involve their rights and interests. In addition, Xu Jirong and others have repeatedly sent people to attack the salt merchants' fleets, which has been a prosperous game, and many salt merchants have suffered heavy losses.

Both sides are already as powerful as water and fire.

They were actively moving around, winning over officials, landlords, and gentry, and trying to organize a strong alliance to deal with Guo Dan.

But first they have to organize their own people.

Because a small number of salt merchants support Guo Dan. After all, they are businessmen. They believe that bureaucrats and powerful people are constantly asking for them, and Guo Dan is the leader of businessmen, so everyone should unite.

The two sides have also argued several times about this.

Now that Guo Dandu is at the city, they immediately held a meeting on the altar of the salt merchants who sacrificed the heaven and earth.

There was a cloud of smoke on the altar, with more than thirty large salt merchants sitting on it.

"Before Guo Dan was still in the future, he had already made Lianghuai salt market chaotic. Now he came here in person. The visitors are not kind. If we still tolerate each other, we will go out to beg for food."

Chen Shiwu was the first to jump out and shout.

Zhang Binghuai immediately retorted: "Before Guo Dan came to Nanjing last time, those textile merchants thought so, but what was the result? I suggest that you contact Guo Dan first and negotiate with him to see if he can turn war into jade. Everyone is a businessman, why should we fight each other? Isn't it good to cooperate?"

"Bah!"

Chen Shiwu angrily criticized Zhang Binghuai: "Zhang Binghuai, I have been tolerating you for a long time. You secretly colluded with Yi Nuoyaxing and used Yi Nuoyaxing to expand your territory. Now, you still say good things about Guo Dan everywhere. I think you are the traitor sent by Guo Dan to us."

Zhang Binghuai replied: "Chen Shiwu, don't swear by others. Last time I haven't settled the score with you about my fleet being attacked. If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, another person stood up and sneered: "It's ridiculous. Why don't you settle the score with Guo Dan? He has always been sending people to attack our fleet. Even with a black sheep like you, we salt merchants cannot unite. If I want to live by relying on others' breath, I, Liu Hui, would rather be broken than be complete."

"Yes, it's better to be broken than to be complete."

"Zhang Binghuai, you villain, not only did not help us when we were attacked, but also took advantage of the situation and should have driven you out of the Chamber of Commerce at the beginning."

Seeing that the other party had a lot of people and was afraid that he would be kicked out of the chamber of commerce, Zhang Binghuai immediately admitted to his scruples and said, "I did something wrong, I just made an opinion. Isn't this the purpose of the meeting? If you don't agree, then just pretend I didn't say it."

As he said that, he sat back.

Businessmen are so realistic.

At this time, Chu Nanpu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce sitting in the middle, finally spoke: "Okay, okay, don't just act irritating. Even if we want to deal with Guo Dan, how should we deal with Guo Dan?"

He can be this president and naturally understand the principles of erraticism. He knows that each internal policy has its own opinions, so he lets them compete for the best.

Now the pro-war faction is obviously dominant.

Because salt merchants have close ties with the government, they are not purely commercial interests.

Therefore, Chu Nanpu naturally chose this side.

Chen Shiwu said: "Now Guo Dan repeatedly attacks our fleet, we must use his own way to cure others and attack Guo Dan's business in Nanzhili."

His words immediately received support from many people.

They had long wanted to do this because Yinuo Group had completely withdrawn from Jiangxi. If they wanted to counter Guo Dan in Jiangxi, they would not be able to find anyone unless they entered Jingdezhen, but that was not something they could consider.

However, Guo Dan has a lot of business dealings in Nanjing.

Chu Nanpu frowned and said, "But the superiors have already ordered that they are not allowed to cause trouble in Nanzhili."

Liu Hui immediately said: "Then let us let the price of salt rise. After all, transporting salt now takes a lot of risk. Many of my subordinates were beaten to death and injured by Guo Dan's people. We have to pay them money to compensate them. The officials and gentlemen cannot just let us sell salt, regardless of our safety!"

The implication is to force the government to support them.

The rise in salt prices will lead to problems in the whole society, so the government will definitely not be able to sit still. However, there are many people in the government who support them, and Wang Yie may not be able to suppress them.

This is why Wang Yie rushed to Shandong to talk to Guo Dan in advance. He hoped to get Guo Dan's guarantee first, so that he could guarantee others, but unfortunately his trip was very failed.

Just then, a servant trotted to Chu Nanpu and muttered a few words in his ear.

"What?"

When Chu Nanpu heard this, he couldn't help but get up suddenly.

Everyone immediately looked at Chu Nanpu.

Chen Shiwu hurriedly asked, "President, what happened?"

Chu Nanpu was slightly stunned, looked at Chen Shiwu, and said, "Guo Dan is here."

"ah?"

There was an uproar immediately.

Before they could come back to their senses, they heard a shout: "Who are you!"

"Get out!"

Two fierce men overthrew the servants guarding the door to the ground.

Another smiling young man walked into the altar with a folding fan in his hand.

Many salt merchants have never seen this young man, but they all know the middle-aged man next to the young man, Kou Yi, the chief manager of Yinuoyaxing.

Needless to say, the one who can make Kou Yi condescend to the side knows that this young man is Guo Dan.

Suddenly, the salt merchants were facing a great enemy!

"I've met President Chu in the lower house."

Guo Dan came to Chu Nanpu, held the folding fan in his hand, and bowed his hand.

Before Chu Nanpu could speak, Chen Shiwu jumped up and said, "You murderer, dare you come here."

Kou Yi immediately whispered in Guo Dan's ear.

Guo Dan nodded, looked at Chen Shiwu again and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious first, I will settle the score with you later."

Chen Shiwu was stunned, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Binghuai looked excited, maybe he didn't stand in the wrong team.

Before Chu Nanpu got up, he asked with a deep eyebrows: "I don't know what advice do you have?"

Guo Dan smiled and said, "I'm here to find a job."

“Job search?”

Chu Nanpu looked surprised and asked, "What job is it for?"

Guo Dan pointed to the chair under Chu Nanpu's butt with a folding fan and said, "It's your position as the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

Chu Nanpu was shocked, suddenly stood up, shouting angrily: "What did you say?"

Chen Shiwu looked happy and jumped out again and said, "President, I have long said that this man is a wolfish and has bad intentions. You have asked us to endure it before."

Chu Nanpu gritted his teeth and said, "I really regret that I was too kind to you."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "It is precisely because of your steadiness that you have retained the position of vice president, and you should be grateful for this."

Chu Nanpu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

From the president to the vice president, I also have to feel grateful that you are really good at speaking.

Liu Hui sneered: "Why do you want to be our president?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "As far as I am the largest salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty, all of you are not as good as me to control the salt. I deserve it as the president."

Chu Nanpu was shocked and said, "What did you say? Are you the largest salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty?"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I produce 10 million kilograms of salt every year. Isn't that enough?"

"One thousand million kilograms of salt?"

All the salt merchants present were shocked.

The Ming Dynasty only had 60,000 kilograms of salt per year, and you accounted for one sixth of the sixth of it. This is too exaggerating.

Chen Shiwu was happy and said, "Are you talking in your sleep?"

"Haha! Su Wen Daming has been a long time ago. I thought you had any methods of enlightenment. When we meet today, we are just a liar in the world."

"If you can take out ten thousand kilograms of salt, let alone the position of president, I am willing to recognize you as my godfather." A shoe-horned face said with a smile.

Guo Dan glanced at him and said, "You think so beautifully."

No one here believed it because they all knew very well that even if the Jing salt and Ningxia Chi salt in Bozhou were counted on Guo Dan, it would not be 10 million kilograms, which was not even a fraction of the price, and the cost was very high. Can this salt production be better than our coastal prefectures and counties?

Just then, a few people dressed in the entourage ran in and muttered a few words to the salt merchants sitting with anxiety.

"What did you say? Five cents?"

Liu Hui, a great salt merchant in Nanjing, stood up suddenly and roared.
Chapter completed!
