The class of Shinong industry and commerce is not obvious in Nanlu, and the life concept of laughing at the poor and not smiling at prostitutes is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from which various powerful businessmen are derived.

Unlike the merchants of the Northern Regions, who wanted to trade across the country, they had to use donkeys, horses, and camels to carry goods, or cross the ocean to Guhe Castle to trade.

Because of the extremely convenient waterway transportation, there are dozens of famous commercial towns in Jianzhou alone, and each city has its own trade.

The background of the merchants in the southern continent is roughly divided into three types, the first type of retail merchants are basically handicraftsmen, selling all kinds of daily necessities, they carry a green bamboo merchant box through the streets and alleys to sell goods.

The sources of goods are small private workshops, and the Qingguo court did not prohibit the haunting of these merchants in order to maintain the vitality of commerce, but it is also a headache to pay taxes from them.

Because they can do it at any time, they are the freest kind of businessmen, and at the same time they have the lowest profits.

The second type of businessman is different from the independent private of the Shen family chamber of commerce, hundreds of commercial banks form a business alliance, forming a business alliance called the South China Chamber of Commerce, so as to grasp the economic lifeline of the South Continent, the South China Chamber of Commerce is stronger than the Shen family commercial bank, is beyond the rich to rival the meaning of the country's wealth.

For example, Tang Guo or leaving the court sometimes fell into financial difficulties, and would ask the South China Chamber of Commerce to borrow money, so the ship merchants of the South China Chamber of Commerce could dock at various ports in the South Continent at will, because they had the background of sailors and various powerful people, and belonged to the South China Chamber of Commerce and other ship merchants, and their strength was strong and could not be interfered with by others.

Compared with the loosely organized South China Chamber of Commerce, as the only business house that can trade salt and iron, the discipline and commercial profits of the Shen family business house are obviously greater, and the Qing emperors of all dynasties want to fully control the wealth of the Shen family business house and turn it into a veritable imperial merchant serving the imperial court, but they have not negotiated an agreement between them.

Therefore, the Shen family firm and the imperial court formed a very delicate balance, the firm paid taxes to the court, and the royal family delegated power to the firm to trade, so as to maximize the interests of both parties.

The Shen Family Commercial Bank is a form of economic organization in which the scattered production forces belonging to different people are concentrated and used in a unified manner by means of shareholding, and the firm operates rationally, assumes responsibility for its own profits and losses, and dividends according to shares.

Among them, the composition of shares is complex, there are not only major Luoyang families, but also court magnates, and the largest share is still concentrated in the hands of Shen Sanqian, and he gave the shares to his wife Zhang Yan before leaving Luoyang, which can be regarded as making up for the hardships she suffered in the first half of her life because of herself.

If something happens to him in Guhe City, she can use the huge wealth she has exchanged for these shares to make her family worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

The title of the president of the Shen family firm is a title between the emperor and the first-class official, and it can be held

The amount of silver in his hands is even more than the silver in the treasury, which involves the daily livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, from the powerful to the small businessmen.

The president of the merchant house needs to deal with no less documents every day than the emperor's approval, and every time he puts pen to paper, he gently presses the balance of wealth, which can bless the people at any time, but it is also easy to fall into a situation where all eyes are on the enemy.

But now, the lion of Wei Jing opened his mouth to ask the eldest lady to hand over the position of the head of the Shen family.

Since she learned of Shen Sanqian's death two days ago, as the only woman in the entire Shen family who did not cry, she handled Shen Sanqian's funeral in a very low-key manner, and simply issued an obituary to all the powerful people in Luoyang City, this mourning hall has not yet been built, and several of her sisters even have signs of wanting to move out of the manor to remarry, they are still so young that they would rather die than be a widow to Shen Sanqian, and even their children look indifferent to her, it is simply a terrible scene like the sky falling, fortunately, there are Shen Chuxia and Tang Huang to accompany her, so as not to be crushed by these things。

Wei Jing said sharply: "Big lady, if you can put the position of the president of the business bank in my hands, I guarantee that no one in Luoyang City will dare to touch your Shen family, and you will also live a happy life as in the past, how about it, this deal is very cost-effective, right?"

"You?" At this time, the eldest lady finally raised her face, and her eyes glanced out of the door, intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Jing swore and said: "Big lady, don't you still believe in my ability? Let me do the position of the president of the firm, and I promise you that under my leadership, the Shen family firm will become the first firm in the South Continent, and even the South China Chamber of Commerce will be difficult to compete with us." ”

The eldest lady said with a calm face: "My Shen family firm is the first firm in Nanlu, the history of the firm is thousands of years, the affairs involve all aspects, and it has been deeply rooted in the land of Nanlu, do you think you can really take over the burden of the firm?"

Wei Jing said in a calm tone: "Shen Sanqian is dead, now someone must stand up and take over this burden, and after he was demoted from Luoyang, what I did was no different from the president, in my opinion, everything is ready, dare to ask who is more suitable to do this than me?"

The eldest lady said: "Indeed, even the master admits in front of me that no one can control the actuarial affairs of the business family, but if you are not so anxious to come to me to ask for power now, then I will consider giving you the power of agency of the president of the firm after dealing with the aftermath of the master, but now you are asking me to hand over the shares and give you the real power of the president of the firm, it is a little stupid, this matter will not only plunge our family into dire straits, but also make me die and have no face to see the ancestors of the Shen family." ”

Wei Jing sneered: "Acting power? Zhang Yan, I'll open the skylight and talk to you, if I'm just willing to be a dog of your Shen family, why should I personally invite you here for a face-to-face interview, I'll tell you the truth now, I will sit down in the position of the president of this firm, even if Shen Sanqian comes back to life."

Can't stop me!"

One of the ladies of the Shen family smacked him and said: "I didn't expect the master to raise a white-eyed wolf like you, how can the position of the president of the business bank be worthy of a villain like you who takes advantage of the fire to rob, red mouth and white teeth want to empty gloves white wolf, your abacus is inevitably too fine, where do you put the status of our Shen family?!"

The smile on Wei Jing's face became more and more intense, and said: "Don't think that your hands are all clean, everyone is a villain in the Shen family, why do you say that I am so ugly, if Shen Sanqian was not the number one family in Luoyang City when he was young, who of you would really want to marry him as a wife, don't you all want his money?" As long as you give me the shares and the position of the president, I guarantee that the living treatment you enjoy will only be better than that of the queen mother, even if you want to raise a little white face, I don't care about you, I only want the position of the president. ”

The eldest lady said coldly: "Wei Jing, do you mean that you are planning to buy and sell by force?"

Wei Jing nodded and said: "If you want to say that, it's okay, without the help of me and the leaders behind you, how long can your Shen family firm maintain normally? With our strength, it may not be possible to overthrow your chamber of commerce, but it is more than enough to pour a basin of dirty water on you and make the reputation of the firm ruined." ”

"Now there is only one way in front of you, that is, let me be the president of the firm, and turn the Shen family firm into the imperial merchant of Qingguo, all of which are the royal family will give us more power and provide us with more support, and the Shen family's caravan will have the right to enter and exit the entire Southern Continent and even the world, whether it is the giant wood of Houchu, or the brocade of Shuyue, or the armor and famous sword of the Northern Regions, it can come to the land of Nanlu through the hands of our firm, if it can be done like this, the Shen family firm is the real first in the world!"

The eldest lady narrowed her eyes and kept nodding her head: "Is this your purpose?" Okay, good, good, you finally say your thoughts, or the thoughts of the royal family, you go back and tell those people of the Zhao family, since they are not benevolent first, then we are not afraid of breaking the net with them, if they dare to reach out and take money from the Shen family firm, I will order the blockade of all shops related to the Shen family in Nanlu, completely paralyze the economic network of the Nanlu, and see how long they can hold out without our Shen family firm!"

Wei Jing said sharply: "Now is the eve of a full-scale war breaking out in the Southern Continent and the Northern Regions, if you dare to do this, are you not afraid of being exterminated by the royal family?"

With Wei Jing's words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

There was no speech on either side, and the terrible silence lasted for a long, long time.

It wasn't until Wei Jing took the cigarette gun handed by his subordinates, spit out a thick smoke ring at the woman in front of him who had been silent for a long time, and said: "There is a saying called feng shui takes turns, when I was a child, when I was a child, when I was herding cattle and being bitten by cows, you wore the best clothes and ate the most exquisite meals in Luoyang City, and when you lay on the mahogany floor and cried, the elders of the whole family will

To coax you, you have never been worried about survival, such you, can you imagine a child in order to help his seriously ill mother buy a dose of herbs in the mountains to pick wild vegetables on a rainy day, and finally the wild vegetables picked were soaked in the rain and no one came to buy them to make money to buy her waist, so she could only watch her die in pain? It's only been a few decades, and the child who picks wild vegetables is sitting opposite you at this time, and you, the child born with a golden spoon, have become a widow, life is really full of irony, you want to make people laugh but you can't laugh, right, the eldest widow of the Shen family. ”

The eldest lady, whose face was blue, bit her lip and said nothing.

"Do you know? Many people in the business house say that Shen Sanqian has left so many widows and daughters down, isn't it beautiful that everyone takes turns to play again, the reason why they say such stupid things is that they used to have to look up at you, and they may have a kind of deformed pleasure to be able to press you women who used to be high in their eyes, but I don't like the things that others have touched, especially you old and decrepit goods, and now it is understandable that Shen Sanqian likes to sleep with prostitutes so much. ”

Wei Jing looked at the women who were trembling with anger with a look of prostitute eyes, and his expression was contemptuous.

"Are you challenging our bottom line, or are you challenging the bottom line of the entire Shen family?"

The eldest lady stared at this middle-aged man who relied on his gloomy scheming to be like a fish in water in the Shen family's business, and she still didn't understand what these men who came out of the gutter were thinking.

Power?

Wealth?

Woman?

Which thing is not at his fingertips Wei Jing, what did the Shen family do to offend him so that when Shen Sanqian's body was not cold, he asked himself to hand over the position of president, it was because of his unpredictable scheming that Shen Sanqian would have a quarrel with him, otherwise it would not be her turn to be the president, and now let her suffer this great humiliation.

Wei Jing happily bared his teeth and said: "As long as the tea is hot, it won't be too ugly, and as long as the woman is young, it won't be too ugly, but some men just like to drink herbal tea, I don't like you guys, it doesn't mean that my subordinates don't like it, in case you are pressed under them by them, it's good to let me watch a live spring palace for free, I don't know if Shen Sanqian can see it in the sky?"

"Are you crazy?!"

The eldest lady couldn't wait to smash the teacup in her hand into his face, no matter how good she was, she couldn't stand such presumptuous words, although now she has two sisters who have moved the idea of leaving home and remarrying, but now the Shen family has not broken up, Shen Sanqian sent Tang Huang to the Shen family in the hope that he can support this family?

If this man dared to do anything to them, the child would never have watched this happen, and would even do crazy things beyond her imagination.

Until this moment, this person was born in Luoyang Zhang

The woman of the family sadly found that her only reliance was actually an illegitimate child, since she married Shen Sanqian, she rarely interacted with her mother's family, and the people of their family were either calligraphy masters or bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and the most despised heavy profit businessmen who were full of yellow and white things, and suddenly couldn't help but feel sad.

But she still held back the tears that were about to fall, she didn't want to make any tearful gestures in front of this man, it would seem ridiculous to her.

Could it be that the Shen family really can't escape this catastrophe?

Wei Jing smiled and said: "Zhang Yan, you have no other way now than to be able to hand over the business house to me, Shen Sanqian died and left your family as an orphan and widow, by the way, there is also the illegitimate son who is now hated by everyone in the business house, do you want to rely on that illegitimate son to fight the forces behind me, aren't you afraid that he will die in the setting sun? If you don't dare, just obediently hand over the equity and let me be the president, I can still leave your family a way to live, even if I live like a dog, it is better than death——"

The door was pushed open, as if someone had kicked it open, startling Wei Jing, who was negotiating with the eldest lady.

The young man dressed in plain clothes stood outside the gate, holding a sword in both hands, like a white-haired demon who had come to kill, and behind him stood a group of Shen family slaves holding swords.

"You're such a big dog, Lord Wei......"

Chu Xianzhao's rain-soaked face was particularly hideous, although he didn't have much opportunity to contact the various scheming disputes within the firm, but from the not thin and thick account book, he could understand most of the current situation, those who could not see the light, all kinds of lights were dark, and the dispute pattern of the various departments of the firm was remembered by him in detail.

Now that the news of Shen Sanqian's death has spread back to Yang, it is inevitable that the Shen family business bank will have a situation where the building is about to collapse, and all kinds of clamories and strikes will occur out of control.

Now that the eldest lady was invited by them to Qingfeng Residence, Chu Xianzhao knew that these governors were determined to force the palace to seize power, how could he not let him be angry?

Chu Xuanzhao saw the eldest lady for the first time with such a dejected look that wanted to cry, he took a deep breath, ignored the shocked captains in the room, and strode towards Wei Jing.

Syllable!

Chu instantly slapped a sword on Wei Jing's face, and the sword blade directly cut his face, and said with a cruel smile: "Okay, you are a dog, you really dare to pee on your master's feet, and you are too dirty to fan with your hand, this young master will reward you with a sword!"

His sword instantly conveyed a message, even if Shen Sanqian was really dead, the Shen family still had him standing here, and whoever dared to touch his family, he would dare to kill whom.

Wei Jing didn't wipe the blood oozing from his face, and hissed: "It seems that you wild seed is really mixed too well in Sunset City, you don't know who you're fighting against, as long as they move their fingers lightly, they can press you into the abyss from which you can't recover." You wild breed is very good at fighting, but don't forget yours

Identity, you are just an illegitimate child that everyone can kill, even if someone kills you in front of everyone, you will not be held accountable by any law!"

Chu Xianzhao slowly twisted the hilt of the sword, the corners of his mouth pulled out sharp lines, and sneered: "I probably guessed who the person behind you is, but don't forget, Qing'an Longxian is my master, and the little grandfather Zhao Yunlong is my friend, you are not the only one in this city, you can take that group of people surnamed Zhao out to suppress people, and you want to kill me in front of everyone, right? Yes, I will give you this opportunity, anytime and anywhere, when the young master rewards you with a bone of this dog!"

surnamed Zhao, listening to these three words, everyone couldn't help but be terrified, daring to call the people of the Zhao family's royal family surnamed Zhao, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as bold.

"Do you think you can inherit Shen Sanqian's family business alive?" Wei Jingqiang endured the severe pain and gasped.

Chu Xuanzhao's tone was so unruly: "I dared to come to Sunset City, naturally I expected that there would be a group of clowns who were in the way, even if you did it to me, if you didn't do it, you wouldn't have a chance." ”

Wei Jing still didn't give up and said: "Can it only be endless?"

"Wrong, it's you who die, I live!"

Chu Xianzhao put the sword into the sheath and ordered to those house slaves: "Send a few ladies back to the house, don't let them get wet in the rain and cold, otherwise I want you to look good." ”

"Yes, young master!"

This illegitimate son of Shen Sanqian defeated the prince of Zhejiang and Han in front of the ministers and princes at the palace dinner, and also beat Ying Yong, the palace guard, to the wall like a dog, even if Shen Sanqian died, as long as he was alive, could it be that the Shen family could really come back to life this time?

The eldest lady glanced at Chu Xianzhao's back with relief, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart, thinking that it would be good that he was Shen Sanqian's biological son, but fortunately he was not Shen Sanqian's biological son.

At this time, Chu Xianzhao's body seemed to have a sharp spirit that Chu Xiaohua had always hoped that he could appear, but this qi coercion was suppressed by him just right, like an ancient sword that had been sealed for many years, it seemed harmless to humans and animals, but it could still kill people with a sword at any time.

He stared condescendingly at Wei Jing's blood-soaked face, like an angry king looking down on the rebellious ministers and thieves, so proud that it was difficult to look at him directly.

They were like two beasts in the forest looking at each other, and for the time being, neither of them showed their claws and the idea of killing each other, only temporarily.

Chu instantly turned around and left, without glancing at the man who made him disgusted.

Wei Jing hissed and laughed behind him: "Tang Huang, Tang Huang...... You will pay for your pride...... Now Shen Sanqian is dead, and you are the enemy...... I will make your fate, even the gods and Buddhas will not be able to save you!"

Chu Xuanzhao, who had killed countless immortals, showed a look of retribution, and sneered: "If you can invite them, then I will kill them as well...... Killing an immortal is much easier for me than killing a dog!"
