Chapter 0018: Long Mengze Trade Fair

In the early morning, the sky in the capital was just dawning, and in the past few decades, the seven old men who had been known as the seven heroes of the Zhu family hurriedly rushed to the meeting hall of the Zhu family's courtyard.

And at this time, it was only 6:03 in the morning!

"What's going on again? Can you send someone to pull me back directly at half past four in the morning?! The last person to rush to the council hall was Zhu Rongtao, who was at the bottom of Zhu Jiarong's generation, sixty-eight years old, but with black hair and a red face, he looked even a few years younger than the average forty-seven or eight-year-old middle-aged person!

As soon as the front foot entered the door, he complained on the back foot, "Could it be that the sky is about to fall?" Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, what the hell are the three of you doing? ”

He was woken up from his sleep at half past four in the morning, and rushed back to the capital from Zhangzhuangkou City, Bac Ha Province overnight, so it's no wonder that Zhu Rongtao lost his temper, after all, this kind of thing has only happened less than five times since the Zhu family came out!

Every time the seven brothers meet urgently, it means that the Zhu family's industry is undergoing a huge test, which may be wiped out at any time, sometimes from the market crisis, sometimes from the new policies promulgated by the central government, and sometimes from the suppression of competitors.

But the last time that kind of thing happened was back in the early 90s of the last century...... In the past 20 years, the Zhu family has been stable and smooth, and with the development of these 20 years, the Zhu family is no longer the Zhu family of the year.

How many times has the crisis not been **** down, is it possible that it has developed and grown now, but has encountered a catastrophe again?

Zhu Rongtao didn't believe that this kind of thing would happen! At the level of the Zhu family, it is impossible for any danger to break out suddenly, even if a provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking official suddenly makes a difficulty, it is impossible to make the seven brothers of the Zhu family so nervous!

Since it is not a major event, Zhu Rongtao's dissatisfaction has become more and more intense.

Sitting in the old seat, Zhu Rongtao said: "There was a small gathering last night, it was late, at half past nine this morning, I still have a very important contract to sign with the British Smet company, so I dare not delay, I have to go back to deal with some personal matters after signing the contract...... Let's get straight to the point, what the hell is going on?! ”

The eldest brother Zhu Rongkang, the third brother Zhu Rongyuan, the fourth brother Zhu Rongbing, and the second brother Zhu Rongqiang, the fifth brother Zhu Rongguo, and the sixth brother Zhu Rongying, who had already arrived before, turned their heads together and fell on the seventh brother Zhu Rongtao.

The atmosphere in the conference hall seemed a little strange for a while, and after a while, the fifth brother Zhu Rongguo cleared his throat and said: "It's also a lot of old people, although Yin Fei left early, but you should also be properly restrained, right?" ”

Zhu Rongguo's opening immediately made Zhu Rongtao, who was full of dissatisfaction, cough dryly, his old face was a little red, and then looked at the gray hair of his six elder brothers, Zhu Rongtao replied with some shame: "I am an old bachelor now, although we are brothers, but you can't care about my private life, right?" Even Hongyi, who is a son, is silent, is it a bit too much for you to talk about my matter! ”

"Hahahaha......" Zhu Rongtao's reaction after being ridiculed by everyone made Zhu Rongguo and the others laugh heartily.

finally finished laughing, the eldest brother Zhu Rongkang gently tapped the table with his fingers, and the smile on his face was gradually retracted, and he turned to Zhu Rongtao, who arrived last, in a very solemn tone: "The news of two o'clock in the morning, this year's conference has been advanced. ”

"What convention is ahead of schedule?" Zhu Rongtao was stunned for a moment, but soon his face changed, and Huo Ran got up and said, "Long Mengze's trade fair?!" ”

Zhu Rongtao's reaction was the same as the reaction made by the other elders of the Zhu family when they first heard the news!

Zhu Rongkang nodded slightly, which confirmed Zhu Rongtao's conjecture.

At the same time, the second brother Zhu Rongqiang added on the side: "This year's changes should be very large, and the proportion of shares obtained by each family is estimated to have to be readjusted. ”

"A small meeting every two years, a general meeting every six years...... Six years ago, all our Zhu family got was the leftover things that those people above didn't want! Zhu Rongtao gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that after six years, we will repeat the mistakes of the past?" ”

"Six years ago, our Zhu family paid more than twice the price of others, but the things we got were less than half of what others took......" Zhu Rongkang sighed softly, sat there and said, "But what can be done?" If we don't grit our teeth and eat it, there will be people who are willing to take a third of what we eat at a three, four, or even five times the cost! ”

"......" Zhu Rongtao heard this, and sat back in his position like a deflated ball, and then said weakly: "Six years ago, the Li family in Guangnan Province, whose strength was not as good as our Zhu family, took the lead, and six years later, the Li family has been included in the forest of wealthy families, and its assets have increased more than five times, while our Zhu family's six years of hard work have only returned to a total increase of 63% ......."

Zhu Rongtao's words were not long, but they were such a short sentence, a string of simple and intuitive data, but it was like a heavy punch, hitting the hearts of the other six old people of the Zhu family, and he suddenly felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, as if he had been pressed on a big stone!

The so-called Longmengze Trade Fair is actually a trading conference held by various sects and factions in the Chinese metaphysical community on a specific day.

The venue of the biennial meeting is not fixed, and the location of the meeting is basically different for each session.

However, compared with the biennial small fair, the large-scale trade fair, which is held only once every six years with a wider range of transactions, more complete industries, richer and more advanced transaction content, has been fixed in Longmengze in the central part of Nam Ho Province from the beginning.

Therefore, the full name is 'Chinese Metaphysics Promotion Association Longmengze Trade Conference', which is referred to as 'Longmengze Trade Fair'.

At the Longmengze Trade Fair, the participants are either people from the metaphysical circles including qigong masters, Taoist true cultivators, feng shui masters, Buddhist monks, etc., or individuals or family representatives with assets of more than 10 billion.

The character of the Long Mengze Trade Fair is very high, and the requirements for the participants are also quite strict, and if there is a little one that does not meet the standards, it will definitely be turned away, no matter how big the origin, there has never been an exception!

And the things traded at the Long Mengze Trade Fair are mainly from the treasures provided by people in the metaphysical world.

Among the bunch of things that were successfully taken away by the Li family in Quang Nam Province six years ago, the most crazy thing is the three thousand-year-old spiritual ginseng provided by the Chongyang Palace of Zhongnan Mountain, each of which is said to be able to hang for 7749 years.

The Li family has been able to quickly become one of the wealthy families in the past six years, isn't it precisely because of the benefits brought by the three thousand-year-old spirit ginseng in their hands?

I heard that the Li family almost smashed the pot and sold iron back then, and with the full support of a feng shui family with a history of more than 300 years, the three millennium ginseng plants that were said to be rare in 10,000 years were divided into six equal parts by the Li family, and they were all sent away in two years.

The six parts, all of which were half-cut thousand-year-old ginseng, were exchanged for a field in Saudi Arabia, a chromite mine in South Africa, a large factory in Germany, and a top technology patent for a research institute in the United States...... And the lifelong friendship of the royal family of a country in Africa!

Millennium ginseng should be priceless treasures, but they can be traded at a clear price at the Longmengze Trade Fair, although the transaction process is not simple, but in the final analysis, if you want to make a gain at the Long Mengze Trade Fair, you must have three conditions!

These three conditions are their own economic strength, the courage to be willing to smash the pot and sell iron, and most importantly, the strong support from people in the metaphysical world!

Back then, as soon as the three millennium ginseng plants were announced, they immediately caused a sensation in the entire venue.

The basic condition of Chongyanggong is 4.5 billion yuan in cash or a company with a good operating condition and a market value of more than 3 billion yuan.

At that time, there were as many as 27 qualified competitors, and the highest bidder had gritted his teeth and shouted 93% of the shares of a chemical company with a market value of 7.8 billion.

But in the end, everyone was brushed down, but the Li family, who only offered the reserve price, got these three eye-popping thousand-year-old ginseng plants...... The reason is that the relationship with the Li family is extremely close, a feng shui family with a history of more than 300 years, and at the same time took out an ancestral dragon wood compass as a bargaining chip, which touched the hearts of the head of Chongyang Palace and the elders!

Therefore, at the trade fair, money from the world is the basic condition that determines whether ordinary people can participate in the competition.

And the strong support from the metaphysical community is the decisive condition for determining whether ordinary people can get these scarce treasures!

Just like those three thousand-year-old ginseng plants, half a cut can drag a dying person back from the death line, and it can also make him live for more than 20 years! It's the effect that's really priceless.

For the poor, it may be worth less than one or two hundred thousand.

Give it to a millionaire and it will be worth 800,000 or more!

And if it is given to a Saudi sheikh, it may be worth a small and medium-sized oil field that can be exploited for more than 20 years!

Any clever merchant understands the hidden value of this scarce treasure and can make the most of it!

It is precisely any businessman who is qualified to participate in the competition, any of them is a business leader, they stand on the cusp of the business sea all year round, so they have the ability to maximize the value of these treasures than anyone else!

As a result, the businessmen got the opportunity to fight the business sea and impact a higher level; The person who sells the treasure of the bottom smoothly exchanges a dead object for an astonishing fortune, or a large enterprise that can continue to print money, and easily becomes the CEO;

And the people in the metaphysical circles who supported the merchants to take the treasures in the hands of their colleagues used the things in their hands that were originally useless to ordinary people in exchange for truly useful treasures for ordinary people...... They themselves often receive a profit share from the businessman for a period of time in the future!

Of course, there will also be scenes of merchants waving banknotes and trading treasures that are useless to themselves but beneficial to their allies for their own metaphysical masters......

Since the beginning of the last century, the Chinese metaphysical community has held nine consecutive sessions of the Longmengze Trade Fair, and this year's session is the tenth session of the Longmengze Trade Fair.

Although not every trade fair can appear such a rare treasure as the thousand-year-old spirit ginseng, the things that the masters of the metaphysical world take out at the conference every year are carefully selected, which is enough to make the businessmen blush and even fanatical!

Over the past fifty or sixty years, the metaphysical and business worlds have become increasingly interactive, and both sides have gradually developed a complete ecosystem that benefits all participants.

In fact, in the final analysis, this is just the metaphysical world that forcibly kidnapped the local tyrants in the business world after putting a price tag on what is only traded and circulated internally, and they bartered for the treasures in the hands of their peers, while also bringing huge wealth that most of their peers could not afford!

But even if the businessmen see through the greasy inside, they still flock to it.

Because they do get benefits from it, even if they need to be reprocessed by their unique business acumen before they can get it, they don't care at all......

Who let these treasures, only people in the metaphysical world can take them?!
