Chapter 526: Lack of greed, driven by profit
The matter of absorbing Zhang Si in, Shopkeeper Li still didn't dare to assert himself, and it happened that Luo Sheng had time to inspect the shop the next day, and Shopkeeper Li told Luo Sheng about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Are you saying that Qin Fangzhai is not doing well, and Zhang Si has the intention of asking for your help?" Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li nodded very solemnly, "Exactly, sir, you may not have noticed, the daily number of customers in Qinfangzhai is not as good as before, Zhang Sizheng is worried about this matter." ”
Luo Sheng subconsciously rubbed the corner of the table, this Zhang Si, he didn't have much contact with before, he really didn't understand, but because his Qinfangzhai was the largest antique shop in Huajing, he had to come to buy things, and he had seen each other face to face, and he was just a general friend.
But now the shopkeeper Li suddenly said that he was not doing well, such a big antique shop, the first one in Huajing City, was originally good, why is it not doing well now?
Since the last time he had a private relationship with a bandit and resold illicit salt was discovered by Mo Rin and beaten him, he didn't dare to develop an outside line easily.
But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, once this person has greed, sometimes it is actually difficult to really curb this thought, Luo Sheng is like this now.
Every day, he is accustomed to seeing a large amount of money flowing in and out of his hands, and his mind always can't help but be alive.
But he also knew that there were too few people at hand, and this shopkeeper Li was now one of the few henchmen in his private salt business, and the people introduced by the shopkeeper Li naturally had to be considered.
In the final analysis, he is actually still in a hurry to develop his own power, and the people left by Mo Rin are really useful, but he also understands that they are not loyal to himself.
There is nothing more reassuring than taking power into your own hands, Luo Sheng thought.
Shopkeeper Li has been following Luo Sheng for some years, from the time when he didn't help Mo Rin to do things before, Shopkeeper Li followed him, and after so many years, he can be regarded as having a pair of "fiery eyes" and is good at observing Luo Sheng's mind.
Luo Sheng hesitated, which means that his heart is loose and he wants to agree, but he lacks a reason to agree.
Shopkeeper Li sensed Luo Sheng's intentions and immediately put this reason in front of Luo Sheng.
"Master, the shipping is about to open, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince is supervising it, when the time comes, how can we not expand the lucrative business at hand? Master, think about it, if you don't hurry up to cultivate your own manpower at this time, when the time comes, we will still be subject to those people everywhere, and we will also do things for His Highness, why is it that the Lord of His Highness's father-in-law is not as powerful as their group of slaves? Wouldn't it be a joke to spread it! ”
Shopkeeper Li's tongue was like a lotus, and he tried his best to incite, and finally moved Luo Sheng.
In fact, he is also selfish, the group of people left by Mo Rin said that they were assisting Luo Sheng in managing all things of private salt, but in fact, those people were all cronies left by Mo Rin, to put it bluntly, they still looked at Luo Sheng and his subordinates.
Shopkeeper Li is not less controlled by these people on weekdays, and he is not convinced, so he often pries Luo Sheng to cultivate his own power.
He has such a feeling as a shopkeeper under Luo Sheng, how could Luo Sheng not know Mo Rin's intentions.
It was precisely because he knew that he was even more unwilling and unwilling.
Shopkeeper Li has a sentence in his heart, he is Mo Rin's father-in-law, even if he meets, he still has to honor Mo Rin's highness, but no matter what, his identity is always higher than those minions!
But that group of people relied on Mo Rin's trust on weekdays, and disobeyed his management in many things, and this matter of things had already become a thorn in his heart.
Luo Sheng hated himself the most in his life for being inferior to others and being suppressed by others.
In the past, he felt that his eldest brother suppressed him by virtue of his status as the eldest son, so that he lost the opportunity to compete fairly, so he let go of the Luo family's chicken ribs and ran towards a bigger and brighter future.
In the final analysis, he and Shopkeeper Li are the same people, and they are the same greedy and insufficient, so they can be driven by interests and bewitched by others.
"This thought... Is it reliable? Luo Sheng glanced at Shopkeeper Li fixedly.
"Master," Shopkeeper Li was stunned, and poured a cup of tea for Luo Sheng with a smile, "You just believe the minion, can the minion still lie to you!" ”
Luo Sheng nodded secretly, he knew that Shopkeeper Li usually had some of his own careful thoughts, but when it came to big things, he didn't dare to deceive himself if he was given a hundred dares.
Moreover, his deed of sale was in his own hands, and with this, Luo Sheng believed that Shopkeeper Li would not dare to play tricks.
Not many people know about this matter, and the shopkeeper Li is the shopkeeper he hired, and the two act in accordance with the contract, and there is no special relationship.
When he brought Shopkeeper Li in, Luo Sheng also thought it through, in order to confuse Mo Rin and make him believe that he took over his "business", and he was absolutely selfless.
"Forgive me for not daring to deceive me," Luo Sheng glanced at Shopkeeper Li and smiled, "Okay, find a chance another day, I'll meet this Zhang Si in person, and then make a decision." ”
"The lord is wise." Shopkeeper Li bowed with a smile.
"The wind outside has been tight these days, let the people under you be careful, no one is allowed to ship without my order!" After talking about private matters, Luo Sheng led the conversation back to business.
The opening of the sea is imminent, the prince of Duanjin purged the business world, he got the news from the second prince, it is said that this time to select the royal caravan, this news has not yet spread, but he knows that once it is released in the coming day, it will set off a big wave.
The meaning of the second prince is naturally to win the candidate of this imperial merchant into his own hands, and he also has this idea.
Once the royal caravan was in the hands of their men, they didn't have to think much about it, and they knew how much convenience it would be in the future.
How could you miss such a great opportunity?
However, it is precisely for this reason that the private salt business they have at hand has to be put aside, otherwise once something is found out by the Duanjin Prince, they will not be able to get it cheap, but they will be burned, so they naturally dare not act cautiously.
After explaining to the shopkeeper Li, Luo Sheng asked him to call a few of his subordinates, and only left after mentioning the orders one by one.
Shopkeeper Li sent Luo Sheng away, summoned his henchmen to explain a few words, and also went out.
Half an hour later, in the Tinglan box of Wangxian Pavilion, a man dressed as a Confucian priest hurriedly came... The businessman is Zhang Si, the owner of Naqin Fangzhai.
I saw that he seemed to be in a hurry to see someone, and was led by the guy to the outside of the Tinglan box, so he waved his hand casually and let the guy go by himself, and he hurriedly pushed open the door of the box and entered.
