Chapter 1681 Everyone gets what they need

After the ruler of the Manila area changed hands, local sentiments also experienced many ups and downs. For ordinary people here, a change of dynasty is not necessarily a bad thing, especially the Han immigrants who were squeezed very hard by the Spaniards in the past, and this situation Significant changes have taken place after the Haihan people took over the rule. For example, they can now obtain land by joining the army, or join the various newly established government agencies. These are shortcuts to changing their destiny and gaining opportunities for advancement. Ordinary Han people like Zhang Kui and Qin Huacheng who rose to power overnight are not uncommon in Manila these days.

However, those wealthy families with a certain social status and economic foundation in the local area almost all have deep or shallow interest entanglements with the Spanish authorities. In the new era under Haihan's rule, if they want to maintain their previous family status, they will probably have to You have to pay a certain price. Families like the Ding family that are married to the Spaniards now have to find ways to survive and actively sever their relationship with the Spaniards. And Qin Huacheng saw this clearly, and he Knowing that the Ding family's information channels are limited, they don't have as much control over certain sensitive information as they do themselves, and this information asymmetry can be used to make profits.

Ding Pingsheng's face was gloomy and he seemed to be very embarrassed by Qin Huacheng's statement. After a long time, he said, "Brother Qin, could you please wait here for a while and come back as soon as you get down?"

Qin Huacheng expected that he was going to discuss it with his family, and immediately expressed his willingness to wait. So Ding Pingsheng hurried to the back house and informed his father Ding Feng of Qin Huacheng's purpose of coming and the information he mentioned, hoping that he would make the decision. A decision.

Ding Feng was not very happy about the stability and respect shown by his eldest son. He was already very old, and he could clearly feel that his body was aging day by day, and he would be dead at some point in the future. will leave this world, and before that, he hopes that the next head of the Ding family can take on the responsibility of protecting and revitalizing the family. However, the performance of the two sons cannot satisfy him. The eldest son is more than stable, but lacks the courage to do so. In terms of courage, the younger son is very courageous, but because of the lack of government, he often acts recklessly and can easily offend others.

Ding Feng's original idea was that since both sons had obvious shortcomings, he could only find a solution from his youngest daughter, so he spent a lot of effort to marry a senior Spanish official. Ding Feng thought very clearly that with such a real power As an in-law, a high official can at least protect the Ding family for one or two generations. If he passes away in the future, the Ding family will not decline. But who would have thought that the Spaniards would be so unsatisfactory and vulnerable to the Haihan army. After the war, the family home that had been run for several generations was lost, and the Ding family was also unlucky. Now it was even more necessary to find another way to sever the relationship with the in-laws, lest Haihan use this as an excuse to suppress the Ding family.

Ding Feng really wanted to complain, but unfortunately he didn't have anyone to complain to. He knew that his wife had passed away for several years, and he couldn't show his weakness in front of his children. As for the outside world, Ding Feng now sees Everyone felt that the other wanted to take a bite out of the Ding family when they were in dire straits, and no one could gain his complete trust.

The Qin family is also on the distrusted list. They just took a fancy to the Qin family's business dealings with them in the past, and they barely had some friendship. Now the two sons of the Qin family are working for the Haihan people. Ding Feng

That's why Ding Pingsheng went to the Qin family for help. But even Ding Feng never thought about establishing relations through the second son of the Qin family, so that the Ding family could completely distance themselves from the Francis and his son.

"Second Qin, why do I feel a little unreliable..." Ding Feng always felt that something was wrong with Qin Huacheng's initiative. Originally, the Ding family asked the Qin family for help, and it required certain risks. The Qin family started to

The deal was considered a reasonable deal up to this point, but Qin Hua was willing to take greater risks and encourage the Ding family to take more measures, which made Ding Feng

Some of them are too much to eat.

Ding Feng turned to Ding Pingsheng and asked, "Has he proposed any new conditions?"

Ding Pingsheng shook his head and said: "I haven't raised it yet, but based on his previous words and deeds, I think that his help will definitely not be in vain, and he will definitely ask for some kind of reward from my family."

After hearing this, Ding Feng closed his eyes and meditated. Ding Pingsheng did not dare to rush and could only wait obediently. However, he was also worried that Qin Huacheng would lose his patience if he waited too long in the study. He couldn't help but feel conflicted. Just as he was hesitating.

Why don't you go back to the study first? When dragging Qin Huacheng, Ding Feng finally opened his eyes and said to him: "Then let's go see this second Qin."

Ding Pingsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father was going to come forward in person. As long as his father came forward, Ding Pingsheng felt that even if the sky fell, it would not hit him on the head. As for whether there is something fishy about Qin Huacheng, I believe his father

You can find out in just a few words.

The reason why Ding Pingsheng has such strong confidence and dependence on Ding Feng is because the development and growth of the Ding family is almost entirely completed by Ding Feng. In his memory, he has never seen Ding Feng dealing with outsiders.

There were times when mistakes were made. Even the Spaniards, who relied on their status and were unruly, always maintained respect and awe when Ding Feng came into contact with them. This was not the treatment that ordinary Han immigrants could receive.

Before the Haihan people came to Manila, it would have been almost impossible for Ding Feng to personally receive a Qin family member because the gap in social status between the two was so great. But these are extraordinary times, and the Ding family father and son also

I don't care about paying attention to so many frivolous things, it's just convenient.

While Qin Huacheng was anxiously waiting in the study, he finally saw the father and son of the Ding family arriving together. This was not beyond his expectation. He had already thought that Ding Pingsheng, who was undecided, might go to move reinforcements, and sure enough, Ding Feng came in person.

Coming.

After Qin Huacheng came forward to greet him, Ding Feng also politely invited him to take a seat, and then asked Ding Pingsheng to bring Qin Huacheng some hot tea.

"The Ding and Qin families have been dating for several years and have always had a good relationship. When you two brothers were born, I always went to my house to drink full-moon wine. My nephew will come over more often in the future, so that the relationship between the two families will not become unfamiliar.

"Ding Feng is indeed a veteran. When he came up, he was not eager to talk about business. Instead, he first talked about the origins of the two families. Obviously, this was to build a relationship before discussing more difficult issues.

However, Qin Huacheng was also very good at answering questions. He immediately took over the conversation with a smile and said: "Old man Ding took great care of my Qin family in the past, and my father often mentioned it to us. So this time I learned that something happened to the Ding family, so I will

I feel that I should do my part to repay Old Man Ding's kindness."

Ding Feng naturally knew very well whether the Ding family had taken good care of the Qin family. The two families had basically only had normal business dealings in the past. It was really hard to say whether they took care of the Qin family. Even if they took care of them once or twice, they should be far away.

Qin Shengyao was not so grateful that he would mention it to his children. So for Qin Huacheng's beautiful words, Ding Feng knew that the other party was just talking casually and would not be touched by them.

Ding Feng coughed dryly and said: "I heard that my nephew has a way to get access to my son-in-law's case. Can you tell me more about how to operate in this process so that the Ding family can completely distance themselves from the Spaniards?"

Qin Huacheng said: "If it is according to Haihan law, then your son-in-law must write a letter of divorce to end the relationship. But now that he is in prison and has no contact with the outside world, there is no way to let him

Write a letter of divorce, and he may not be willing to write it!"

Ding Feng nodded and said: "That's true. If we can get in touch with him, we can try to persuade him again."

Qin Huacheng heard the implication in his words, shook his head and said: "I am definitely out of reach, and it is impossible to even send a message. I have just informed shopkeeper Ding of the information that I can find out."

"Then in my opinion, is there any other way to achieve the same effect?" Ding Feng continued to ask. Of course he knew what the answer was, but he couldn't say it himself, lest he let the truth slip.

Qin Huacheng hesitated for a moment this time, and then said it bluntly: "If that person unfortunately died in Haihan Prison, it should be considered to have achieved the same effect."

"This kind of thing is destined by God and cannot be arranged...unless the nephew can come up with some special method." Ding Feng said calmly: "Or maybe the nephew can figure out who is still there.

How long is your lifespan? If the calculation is accurate, I will be very grateful afterwards."

Ding Feng said this very skillfully, not only expressing his wishes, but also not giving any excuse to Qin Huacheng. As for whether Qin Huacheng was bragging or if he was really capable of taking over this deal, it would be clear at the moment.

Of course, Qin Huacheng wanted to pat his chest and tell Ding Feng that your son-in-law is dead, but he also knew that he did not have any confidence to say such a thing. Haihan people did not plan to deal with the news he had heard from Zhang Kui before.

Francis and his son imposed a heavy sentence of death penalty, which means that little Francis will not die for a while - at least he will not die from the official death penalty. He wants to brag to Ding Feng now, but there is basically no chance of realizing it.

Naturally, it is impossible to get the other party's reward.

Qin Huacheng suddenly realized that he had thought of this matter a little too simply. As one of the most prestigious Chinese businessmen in Manila, the Ding family was not an easy target to fool, especially the old man Ding Feng, who rarely showed up. He was obviously an extremely difficult person to fool.

A powerful character. Qin Huacheng regretted that he should have asked his father first. Maybe it would not be so difficult to deal with the old head of the Ding family now.

However, Qin Huacheng's mind was still spinning very fast. Although he didn't dare to vouch for it, the situation still had to be tense, otherwise all the previous efforts would be wasted: "Old man Ding, I don't dare to say this to death. Haihan people have strict and many rules.

, I, the security police, have no control over the military's arrangements, and I don't even know which way the prison is heading... All I can do is to help the Ding family, and see if anyone is willing to help.

Busy officer friend."

Qin Huacheng's words were more objective and reasonable. He did not brag about his background and connections. He only said that he could give it a try, which made Ding Feng not sure whether his attitude was true or false. But there was

Ding Feng was very certain that Qin Huacheng must have done this for some reason, and handling this matter would bring him some special benefits, so it made sense.

"Then let's open the skylight and tell the truth. What conditions does the wise nephew need to get this thing done?" Ding Feng decided to test it again to see what Qin Huacheng's plan was.

Qin Huacheng secretly took the bait, and said with a solemn face: "To fix the joints, some gold and silver must be prepared. However, if you want to arrange for someone to attack in prison, the cost will probably be relatively high. Uncle Ding can't

I don’t know.”

Ding Feng gently stroked the beard on his chin and responded calmly: "No matter how old you are, there is always a number. My nephew, it doesn't matter."

Qin Huacheng gritted his teeth and reported a large amount. If the other party refused, he would not have any regrets. This kind of thing is always a fight or a fight, and he could not force the other party to do what he said.

Method. But if the other party agrees, then the transaction will not only be a guaranteed profit, but will also allow him to make a lot of money.

Ding Feng pondered for a moment and then responded: "Okay, I promise you."

Qin Huacheng said: "I have one more condition. I hope Old Man Ding will agree to it."

Ding Feng said: "You tell me first and listen."

Qin Huacheng said: "Actually, my family is very interested in running a shipping company. If Mr. Ding is willing to cooperate, then I hope that the Qin family can become a shareholder of the Ding family shipbuilding company, and we will be like-minded and make a fortune together in the future!"

Compared with asking for money directly, this condition is more like cutting out the flesh of the Ding family. The shipping business is the main business project of the Ding family, and letting outsiders take shares is tantamount to splitting the industry to outsiders. This is very important to the Ding family.

It's a big deal for everyone. Naturally, Ding Feng will not be happy to accept this condition, but he is also a little confused. Since Qin Huacheng can put forward such harsh conditions, is he really sure that he can get the thing done?

Of course, Qin Huacheng was not sure, not even half sure. He was just talking nonsense. But he knew that he had to set out conditions that would make the Ding family feel real pain, so as to make the whole thing look more real. As for

Whether it was possible or not, Qin Huacheng didn't think about it at all. He didn't expect the Qin family to actually buy a stake in the Ding family shipping company. As long as he could defraud the Ding family of the money they promised to use to build relationships, it would be a big win.

When the time comes, whether things will come to fruition or not will not be a matter of Qin Huacheng's lip service. The Ding family has no way of verifying which joints the relationship money will be spent on and how much it will cost. This dumb guy will definitely suffer a loss.
