On the way back to Kyoto, Zhang Youcai frowned all the way. He couldn't understand that the little boy was not panicked in the face of blood, and he was as skilled as a veteran when he shot ruthlessly and decisively.

Zhang Youcai is not entangled in Zuo Chen's thinking is clear and agile, and his mental development has an innate advantage, which is not something that can be compared. That skillful coordination of martial arts and the experience of facing the enemy can only be honed after a long period of hard training and years of battlefield fighting. How did Zuo Chen become so skilled that he was better than himself in just ten years?

After thinking in vain all the way and not understanding it, Zhang Youcai couldn't help but be a little angry, he had been in the military camp for so many years, and he was compared by a yellow-mouthed boy in all aspects. Thinking like this, he listened to Zuo Chen's advice with a gloomy face, and entered the city through another city gate and entered the general's mansion through the back gate.

Zuo Chen, who was thinking about his thoughts all the way, didn't feel Zhang Youcai's abnormality, he just thought that he was attacked and killed, and he didn't think of his performance at all, which hit him to the bottom of his mood.

"Childe, where are you two going? I didn't see a single day. Zhang Kang asked impatiently when he saw his cousin and Zuo Chen, who had returned home.

"Ahh I went out of town with Uncle Zhang for a casual stroll, what? Zuo Chen was a little helpless Zhang Kang's curiosity, and told him half-truthfully.

Seeing that Zhang Youcai's expression was a little wrong, Zhang Kang thought that his cousin was deflated by Zuo Chen, so he didn't dare to ask anything more, and said, "Steward Wang has been looking for you for a day, and I don't know what is going on." After saying goodbye to Zuo Chen, he secretly glanced at his cousin.

"Then, you can help me greet him, and he will say that I am back. I guess it's the shop's business. After Zuo Chen finished speaking, he walked straight towards the front hall.

Seeing Zuo Chen walking all the way, Zhang Kang ran a few steps behind his cousin and asked, "Hey!" Brother, what are you doing, why don't you call me to go with you. ”

"I haven't eaten a single meal in this day, let me finish it and say no!" Zhang Youcai stopped, said impatiently, stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Kang, and said, "Go!" Hurry up and find Wang Ping. With that, he turned and walked forward.

For Zhang Kang's breaking of the casserole, Zhang Youcai really has no way. Listening to the footsteps following behind him, he suddenly turned around: "We're going to kill people, this will be satisfying to you!" ”

Zhang Kang stood in place in a daze, believing that what his cousin said was true. Because he knows that he is wrong, he will not tell himself, as long as what he says must be false. No wonder the cousin looked like he had been stepped on, no wonder they looked mysterious. Zhang Kang thought about walking forward like this, and suddenly remembered that Wang Ping was not in this direction, so he turned around and hurriedly ran.

Wang Ping, who got the news of Zuo Chen's return home, ran to the front hall like a hen dragging an egg.

"Childe, you're back. Then Liu Chengxuan came to you early in the morning, and brought a businessman, saying that he was the president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and he had never heard of such a title in the imperial court! Wang Ping said in a rambling voice, his eyes fixed on Zuo Chen's expression.

Zuo Chen pondered that there is a chamber of commerce in the private sector now, which shows that the business in Zhejiang has nearly reached a considerable scale, and with the help of this chamber of commerce, he believes that his business plan is like a fish in water. I just don't know how they specifically control the convergence of interests between shops.

"Uncle Wang, I know. Tomorrow they don't come to the house, so I'll go and see. Zuo Chen said.

Wang Ping saw that Zuo Chen didn't explain to the Chamber of Commerce, thinking that he didn't understand it as much as himself, and said disapprerovingly: "The president of the Chamber of Commerce doesn't seem to have any interest, so he took the trouble to introduce it to me, and he thought he had a lot of energy." ”

Zuo Chen knew that he underestimated the power of the Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't dare to explain to him again, for fear that he would ramble endlessly. So he asked, "Today, the decoration of the shop is over?" ”

"Yes, it was over at noon, and the craftsmen were anxious that there was still a lot of work to do, so they didn't eat the meal until it was over. I've seen it, and it's very detailed and not rough. Wang Ping's eyes widened, enriching the expression on his face. The craftsmen do a good job, and they also have the credit of their own effective supervision, Wang Ping naturally knows how to express himself, and does not seem to be self-selling and boasting.

"Uncle Wang, you've also had a hard day, and I feel a little tired...... Zuo Chen's face looked very tired.

Before Zuo Chen finished speaking, Wang Ping said kind words, and was concerned about Zuo Chen to rest earlier, and retreated unsatisfied. I thought to myself, it's still early to go to bed, who is going to pull it?

Zuo Chen was indeed a little tired, he was physically and mentally exhausted, where did he still have the heart to listen to Wang Ping's nagging. I hastily ate dinner and slept until dawn.

Maybe it was because he had more contact with Zhang Youcai since he was a child, Zuo Chen shouted him to Liu Chengxuan's shop together. Zhang Youcai couldn't say anything on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart, do you like to look at my depressed face?

Liu Chengxuan was even more moved when he saw Zuo Chen coming to the door in person, how could he not be excited about such a noble status, not to mention that in his most difficult time, Zuo Chen also extended a helping hand to him.

In the living room on the second floor, before pouring tea and pouring water to entertain him, he had already called Xiao Er to go to the inn to greet the president.

"Liu Gongzi, please go to the ...... in person" Liu Chengxuan's polite words were interrupted by Zuo Chen before he finished speaking.

"Uncle Liu, the family doesn't speak two words, I'm not here to earn your polite words. As I said a long time ago, I need the help of doing business, since it is a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, there is no need to hold my own identity, just treat it equally, what do you say? Zuo Chen said sincerely.

In fact, Zuo Chen also thinks like this, get along with the same cooperative relationship, and have common interests in order to walk together for a long time. Otherwise, who can live for someone other than themselves and their families? In that way, it is obviously unreasonable, there are family and friends who always have to eat, dress, and interact with each other.

Liu Chengxuan listened to it in his ears, and nodded approvingly for Zuo Chen's gaze. Even if Zuo Chen lowers his value, he can't lose his respectful heart, after all, as an honest businessman, Zuo Chen's kindness to himself is something that cannot be easily forgotten.

So, Liu Chengxuan said respectfully: "Liu Gongzi, I am grateful for your help!" is still the same sentence, if Liu Gongzi needs this little bit of contemptible, he will definitely help. After speaking, he bowed respectfully.

Zuo Chen understands that no matter how capable a person is, if he is not considerate and sincere to himself, it will do all kinds of harm to the business and the future. Liu Chengxuan's intentions to himself can be observed in future cooperation. If he is sincere to himself, he will also treat it with 12 points of sincerity. Sincerity is not a matter of ability, but the true heart-to-heart fellowship.

Zuo Chen stopped Liu Chengxuan's thanks last time, and if he stopped it this time, I am afraid he will feel uneasy. smiled, and accepted it calmly.

At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps at the staircase.

The president, who was dressed in a brocade dress and had a glittering face on his face with Chinese characters, arched his hands in a panic as soon as he entered the living room, and said in his mouth: "Guilty!" Guilty! Let the nobles wait for a long time! ”

It is true that the saying "fish and fish, shrimp and shrimp" is true! The person who came was intuitively similar to Liu Chengxuan's temperament, and his elegant and shrewd feeling was a little more humble than Liu Chengxuan. It may be the purpose of entering Kyoto, or it may be the feudal ideology deeply rooted in the bones, and the body will soften when I see a person with a respected status.

Zuo Chen hoped that he was the purpose, if it was the latter, there would be no need for the president to have a deep friendship with him. Despite this, Zuo Chen still doesn't like boneless people who grovel. Because once people lose their backbone, they are easily coerced to change a lot of ideas, or their own deserved interests.

"Liu Gongzi, this is the president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Xudong." Liu Chengxuan got up and said.

Zhou Xudong saw Zuo Chen sitting on the seat, and saw Liu Chengxuan introduce himself to him, and knew that he was a nobleman. So he bowed down again, bowed, and said respectfully, "Contemptible Zhou Xudong to meet Liu Gongzi." "It's respectful.

After some politeness, sit down, and then get to the point.

"Liu Gongzi, I heard that the shopkeeper Liu said that you and Lord Yu, the inspector of Zhejiang, are close relatives. Contemptible people think, through your relationship can be protected by Lord Yu, you see ......" Zhou Xudong is not a verbose person, and bluntly explained his intention to enter Kyoto.

"Why do you have to be sheltered by the government? Someone is getting in the way? Zuo Chen asked.

Through Zhou Xudong's introduction, Zuo Chen learned that businessmen in Zhejiang are often harassed and rejected by evil forces in other places, so many merchants unite as one and coerce foreign merchants in the way of commodity monopoly.

Zuo Chen pondered for a while and said, "It is a matter of the will and attitude of the imperial court, and my uncle may not be able to call the shots. To fundamentally solve the transportation harassment, it is indeed necessary to get the support of the imperial court, and the key question is how to make the imperial court willing to send troops to protect the chamber of commerce, then it is necessary to pay a certain price, such as - profit! ”

Zhou Xudong looked at Zuo Chen in confusion, and he couldn't imagine that Zuo Chen could see the problem so thoroughly. Under the cover of a stunned expression, he carefully calculated the profits, weighed the interests, and was more worried that he would leak the profit margins, not get the protection of the imperial court, and pay taxes again.

glanced at Zhou Xudong with interest, knowing that he was thinking about the problem, and Zuo Chen was inconvenient to disturb him. Turning his head and asking Liu Chengxuan, "Uncle Liu, your shops are all open, why don't you invite me to drink?" ”

Liu Chengxuan was also thinking about what Zuo Chen said, smiled awkwardly when he heard the question, and said: "Liu Gongzi made fun of it, where do you dare to invite your noble status, and you don't dare to be extravagant in small business, right?" You can pass by and the shop will be full of flowers. The president of this week's conference is a big businessman in Zhejiang, and this time he will have to break the bank once anyway. ”

The businessman is so stingy, and he doesn't show a high sound. Zhang Youcai, who was thinking like this, glanced at Zuo Chen and grinned.
