Chapter 692: This is an idle pen
"Boss Shu, we have brought ...... this week's goods"
In front of a bustling shop in the Immortal City, a fat middle-aged businessman bent down and rubbed his hands, looking at the brocade-clothed young man in front of him with a flattering expression, beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it.
The young man in front of the merchant glanced at him faintly, then turned his gaze to the carriage behind the merchant, and couldn't help but smile.
"Tan Ye, the amount of weekly supply we said should be more than that, right?"
The merchant hurriedly shouted: "Boss Shu, you don't know something, I also have a hard time, I have ...... recently"
The young man waved his hand: "Don't say it, it's useless to say more, I don't need to know what troubles you have, businessmen, you can have any hardships whenever you want." I just ask, what should I do if I do something different from what I say? β
Tan Ye had more cold sweat on his face, but he couldn't speak.
"I'm just a newcomer on this street, and Tan Ye, as a senior, must know better than me that the most important thing in business management is integrity."
The young man, who looked particularly immature, unceremoniously reprimanded the businessman who was several times his age, soon aroused onlookers in the streets.
The fat businessman Tan Ye's fat face was red and purple, obviously extremely ashamed and angry in his heart, but he didn't even have the courage to look up at the other party...... I can only sigh in my heart, in this group of immortal cities, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves.
As the young man said, he is just a newcomer, not to mention that he is also a newcomer on this street, and he is also a newcomer in the entire business district. He had only been in the industry for a few months at most, and even three months ago his shop was still in the remote corner of Qunxian City, but now he had gained a firm foothold in the bustling streets, and he had the courage to reprimand himself.
The reason is simple: he is stronger than himself.
The world of merchants, like monks, also emphasizes strength, but the strength of monks is reflected in cultivation, and the strength of merchants is reflected in money. This young man is richer than himself, and he also controls his own lifeline, so no matter how rude he is, he can only endure it.
Why can a businessman who has been in the industry for a few months be more powerful than Tan Ye, who has been in business for decades?
It's easy to say, because more than a month ago, the merchants in the Qunxian City set up a huge gamble. In that game, some people won and some people lost. Those who win move from small shops in the middle of nowhere to the bustling central neighborhood, and those who lose have to endure the shame of being rude.
The source of the gamble comes from the great disagreement between the merchants in the Immortal City when predicting the future. Some people are bullish on the Wanxian League, while others are completely bearish. At that time, it was the most difficult time for the Ten Thousand Immortals League in the Great Contest of Immortals, and those who had called for wind and rain before were silent, such as Hetu Daoren, Wuxiang Zhenren, etc., and they had no will to come forward to reverse the situation at all, coupled with the fanning of Tianshulou and other sects, it made the confidence of many people below greatly shaken.
The most sensitive to this change are the merchants from all over Kyushu, who have made various predictions about possible changes in the future in order to act in advance. But everyone has different opinions, some people still have confidence in the Wanxian League, and some people feel that the general trend has gone. The largest and most powerful Xuantian Pavilion maintained a near-neutral posture in this controversy because of the struggle between the upper echelons, and was completely unable to resolve the differences...... So disagreements give rise to contradictions, contradictions lead to wars, and merchants' wars will not be bloody, but they will be just as tragic.
In short, Tan Ye, who has a deep foundation among businessmen, chose the bearish side for various reasons, and then planted it thoroughly with many peers. The accumulation of hundreds of years of commercial banks and their own decades of hard work have all turned into flowing water.
Of course, Tan Ye is still slightly luckier than most of his peers, at least he can survive, and many of his peers have been exposed to the wilderness, which is even more harmful to his family.
"Boss Shu, please give me one last grace week, now I really can't get the shipment......"
ββ
The conversation at the door didn't last long, as a large carriage blocked the door, and the shop's business could not continue. Boss Shu didn't force Tan Ye to death in the end, but after passing this level, Tan Ye seemed to have taken off a few layers of skin, and he just secretly scolded this young man from the market in his heart for being much more ruthless than many old-timers, and he had little money left after a defeat, but he barely had the possibility of making a comeback, but let this young man be exploited a few more times, I am afraid that he will not be able to turn over in this life.
On the other side, the young man who returned to the store pΓΉ said a few words to the guys in the store and went into the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, he put down Fang Cai's majestic expression, looked comfortable, and shouted at the arrogant figure under the shade of the tree in the backyard.
"Haha, did you just see the dead man's face? Just now, Lao Tzu was domineering and let go, and he slashed the dead man's face off the horse......"
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice interrupted: "Mu monkey and crown, fox fake tiger might." β
"Haha, dead face, you are jealous of my cheerful personality and can preside over work outside, you gloomy person can only stay in the empty room."
"Humph!"
The dead man's face snorted coldly, and the temperature of the entire backyard plummeted, and Shu Si shuddered, and hurriedly stopped talking.
After getting along with the dead face for a few months, I can figure out his temper, don't look at his gloomy face on weekdays, in fact, it doesn't matter if he occasionally flirts a few words, but when he snorts coldly, it means that he is impatient and must stop in moderation.
And from the bottom of his heart, Shu Si actually respects him very much, in just a few months, he has changed from a penniless street gangster to a monk who has officially embarked on the path of cultivation, and a hot boss in the Immortal City, of course, it is not his own ability.
More than a month ago, the big gamble in Qunxian City reversed the fate of many people, but in fact, Shu Si at that time was not qualified to participate in the gambling game at all, and his small shop pΓΉ was prosperous, but it was not yet on the table.
It was a dead face, and he inexplicably took out a bunch of real estate title deeds, as well as a few sealed mustard seed bags, and asked Shu Si to come forward to join the gambling game and bet heavily on the Wanxian League to turn the tables.
Shu Si wanted to say at the time, just with a few pieces of broken paper and a few broken pockets in your hand, those rich local tyrants will not take it seriously, and people's gambling games are very fine, and they are not the size of the casino, how can they join in with a word?
But when he really found someone with something, he was immediately treated solemnly, not only did he see a large circle of high-level bosses, but also someone enthusiastically sent a large stack of texts, all of which were related to the gambling game. Shu Si signed all the mortgages in a daze, and then found that as time went by, more and more properties in his name were being sent to him, and occasionally some gray-faced businessmen ran to him and knelt down to beg for mercy.
To this day, Shu Si actually doesn't know how the gambling game was carried out, when he was in the market, the so-called gambling game was nothing more than shaking the dice and pushing Pai Gow, how could it be so complicated and high-end? But Shu Si is also clever, don't think much about the problems he doesn't understand, things are done by a dead face anyway, if something really goes wrong, of course he will carry it, he just needs to go with the flow.
There is cultivation, there is wealth, what more can a husband ask for at this point in life?
"Speaking of which, dead face, I can't figure it out, not long ago, we just made a lot of money with that Luo Xiao, why did we suddenly change our requirements and withdraw all the projects related to him...... This change is too urgent, the one surnamed Tan was almost forced to death by you. β
The dead man didn't look back: "Just do it." β
"Of course I'll do it, but explain to me, I'm not your apprentice now?"
The dead man's face said coldly: "Hehe." β
Shu Si knew that this was the other party saying in concise and clear language: Your IQ is not enough to understand too complex issues. Suddenly helpless, although he entered the door of the dead face, he didn't know what the name of this sect was. The dead face was very attentive when he guided him to practice, but he didn't care about anything other than cultivation...... Moreover, the practice is also quite strange, it seems to focus on the purpose of concealing tracks, which seems to be sneaky and sneaky.
Of course, Shu Si, who was born in the market, didn't care too much about those, although he also dreamed of flying immortals in his heart, just like Wang Lu Zhenren, who gave him immortal fate, but he always had to know how to be realistic.
Just as Shu Si was thinking nonsense, the dead face spoke again.
"Luo Xiao's use value ends here, and it is not worth continuing to invest."
It was rare for a dead face to be willing to explain, Shu Si hurriedly cheered up and asked: "Even if you don't like him, why don't you give him a little buffer time, now in addition to the surname Tan, there are several merchants who are complaining to me......"
The dead face said: "It's too late to get rid of it, and now there are not many people who see that Luo Xiao's use value has been exhausted, but it is difficult to get rid of it for a while, and there is also a fluke mentality, looking forward to him holding on for a while." But when they realize that the status quo is irreversible, they will get rid of it even if they cut the meat. At that point, you'll have to deal with more than just listening to people complain. β
After hearing this, Shu Si suddenly showed an excited look: "Why did you change sex today, such a nag?" What the hell is going on with that Luo Xiao? Didn't Wang Luzhen personally preside over the celebration a few days ago? I've heard many people say that Luo Xiao will have a bright future in the future. β
The dead man's face sneered: "If it weren't for Wang Lu's celebration, I wouldn't dare to conclude that Luo Xiao's use value has been exhausted." After all, although he is not a little self-sufficient, his strength is still good, and he can be used as a useful chess piece, but now it seems that Wang Lu is not rare with this chess piece, and he has no patience to play with him. β
Shu Si was confused when he heard it, but he still accurately grasped a key point: "Do you think Wang Lu doesn't like Luo Xiao?" β
The dead face didn't answer, but just said, "Next, let your people pay attention to Luo Xiao's movements and tell me in time." β
Shu Si said curiously: "Didn't you say that all the projects related to him were discontinued?" β
However, the dead man's face turned his back and looked intently at the book in his hand, ignoring Shu Si again.
