Chapter 205: Dig the pit a little deeper
The combination of charity on both sides has made the momentum even greater, and the number of displaced people who have been relieved has more than doubled, and the publicity effect has naturally increased exponentially.
After Guo Dan finished preparing for the publicity, he and Kou Zhuansha went back in a carriage, not only to hinder Xu Jirong from pretending to be forced.
"Little uncle? Charity Ambassadors? ”
Kou Liansha looked at Guo Dan in disbelief, "Husband, is your decision a little inconsiderate?" ”
Guo Dan asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Kou Liansha thought about it for a while, and then said euphemistically: "Just listening to it feels a little inappropriate." ”
Putting the title of charity ambassador on Xu Jirong's head, no matter how you hear it, it feels awkward, whether it is temperament or past deeds, none of them match.
Guo Dan asked, "I don't know who Madame thinks is more suitable?" ”
Kou Zhuansha groaned slightly: "I only know that many people are more suitable than the little uncle." ”
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "But in my opinion, if you want to choose a charity ambassador, then Uncle Xiao is the best and only candidate." ”
Kou Zhuansha was puzzled: "I don't really understand. ”
Guo Dan said: "If you choose candidates according to Mrs. Standards, I think no matter who you are, if you are taught a lesson by those scholars, they will resign and not do anything, because they are too thin-skinned and can't bear those public opinions, only the little uncle is thick-skinned enough, and he is used to being ridiculed, and only he can resist the insults of those scholars." ”
Kou Zhuansha nodded slightly: "Although what the husband said is not unreasonable, isn't the husband afraid that it will backfire?" ”
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "No, even if a pig is allowed to act as this charity ambassador, the difference is not very big." ”
"Pigs?"
Kou Zhuansha's eyes widened, but she muttered in her heart, it seems that pigs are indeed more suitable than little uncles.
Guo Dan said with a little playfulness: "In fact, it doesn't matter who is the charity ambassador, because this is a confrontation between money and morality. Public opinion is always in the hands of the readers, and we businessmen cannot contend with it in this regard, and our advantage is money, and this confrontation will ultimately be carried out in the hands of who has the advantage, not who is the charity ambassador. ”
"Do you think we can win?" Kou Zhuan Sha was full of doubts about this.
Merchants fight with scholars, that's really self-defeating!
Guo smiled lightly: "Money can make ghosts grind, say something that will make you give me a blank eye, even if Your Majesty, if he doesn't have money, then he can't even mobilize the forbidden army guarding the front yard to the back yard." ”
Kou Zhuansha immediately gave him a roll of the eyes, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You! It's really dead. ”
Guo smiled lightly, gently took Kou Zhuan Sha into his arms, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Madame, don't look down on those scholars, the reason why those scholars defend the etiquette system is actually to defend their own rights, only under that pedantic etiquette system, they can sit on such a large family property, this is essentially a struggle of interests, we are not without a chance of winning." ”
Kou Liansha's eyes moved up slightly, looking at the man who had already shared the bed with her, and a feeling of imminent separation arose.
Do I really know him?
This question lingered in Kou Zhuansha's mind.
It's not because she paid little attention to Guo Dan and didn't try to pay attention to Guo Dan, but because Guo Dan never showed his true self, but it wasn't that he deliberately wanted to hide it, but in this era, he couldn't show his true self.
Because when he was on Wall Street, if he was rich, he was the boss, and if he was rich, he could do whatever he wanted, but here it was the opposite, he even had to restrain his steps, and he couldn't be too confident, if a businessman walked down the street with his head held high and looked at all people, he would really be beaten to death.
And Kou Zhuansha is his wife and the person he trusts the most, so when he is alone with Kou Zhuansha, he will show some of his true face, which is also what makes Kou Zhuansha feel confused.
......
This real money will definitely splash when it hits the water, which is a law of physics and cannot be changed, but it is only a matter of the size of the splash.
Guo Dan took out so much money to help the homeless, but everyone looked at it.
No matter what he does, what his purpose is, but in the end he takes out real money to do good deeds, many big landowners in the world are very stingy, but most of them are very stingy, never do good deeds, even if there are, they only occasionally take some porridge to help, which is like Guo Dan them, send clothes and quilts, and also send real cakes, and this is not a hammer of charity, this will continue with Marseille.
Immediately, there were voices in support of Marseille.
At the same time, Shilin's slander of Marseille is also intensifying, those who read see that Guo Dan not only did not have any restraint, but became more and more lively, taking their words as the wind in their ears, and no businessman dared to openly sing against them, so they were even more indignant to accuse Marseille, and said that Marseille's charity was Guo Dan's means to confuse people's minds.
I can't wait to shape Guo Dan into a devil.
As the new charity ambassador Xu Jirong, he began to fight back against these scholars, and the major restaurants became the places where they fought, as long as Xu Jirong heard someone slandering Marseille, he would definitely fight back.
Even if those scholars said that they were out of the blue, he just said, you are not without money, there are so many homeless people outside, why don't you take money out to help.
But the power of this sentence is not small, this sentence is not rough, you people are rich and powerful, why never take money out to do charity? You are still full of righteousness and morality.
But when it comes to taking out the money, these people are reluctant, this time they will take out a few thousand taels, once every seven days, it hurts to think about it!
But if they don't take out the money, the more the people feel that what Xu Jirong said is very reasonable, and they will shout, just talking but not practicing, and there are more and more people who support Xu Jirong openly and secretly.
Xu Jirong's reputation has risen very much, and no one really mentions any double waste in the capital.
And Marseille is also because of these controversies, the attention is constantly rising.
The second Marseille came in such an atmosphere, and whether Shilin's boycott was useful or not had to be told by facts.
However, unlike the first Marseille, the prize hall was already crowded from the moment it opened, and everyone had a horse newspaper, they did not rush to place bets, but gathered together to discuss it enthusiastically, which became a party.
Last time, everyone was still afraid and was on the sidelines, but this time there was no fear at all, because everyone knew that there would definitely be a lot of people going.
And this time Guo Dan didn't stay here, and after half of the hour, he slowly came to the prize pool hall in a carriage.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw a scholar walking towards him angrily.
"Guo Dan, let me ask you, don't you make this kind of money? Can you sleep at night? In this cycle of heavenly principles, if you poison my people so much, you will be punished. ”
The scholar was angry at Guo Dan.
Guo Dan smiled: "This brother, I'm ----。 ”
"Guo Dan, you came just in time, the old man was about to talk to you, your prize pool hall is too cold, and you don't even have a place to sit. Hey? Who are you? Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter if the prize pool hall is smaller, you can build some restaurants on the side, so that we have a place to rest, and you can get a few greenhouses to perfunctory us, which is too insulting."
"You can also get a few more at the counter, it's just uncomfortable to queue up, last time I didn't line up at the last moment, resulting in thousands of taels not earning, if this time it's like this, I'm going to find you to lose money."
......
The scholar said a word, and was pushed away by these people who came to buy horses.
Everyone surrounded Guo Dan, and there were all kinds of complaints.
What they complained about was also very reasonable, this was originally a pasture, there was nothing around, and from the capital to here, there is a distance, at most one trip a day, but there is no place to rest here, they are either rich or expensive, which is very painful for them.
Guo Dan sighed bitterly: "Everyone should know that I have already taken out 30,000 taels to build this racecourse alone, and I expect to invest 100,000 taels in the whole project, which shows that I really don't want you to sit in the greenhouse every day, but I don't know much about this project, I am contracted to Chen Ping to do." Later, I will urge him to hurry up and build this racecourse. ”
"Then you should hurry up, otherwise, we won't come, it's not easy to go back and forth, and we have to suffer this."
"Yes, yes, I'll go find Chen Ping."
"Go, go, I'm so worried."
.....
Guo Dan walked out of the crowd, suddenly glanced back at the scholar who had been pushed a few feet away, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then went to the racecourse.
And Liu Xinmou also walked out of the prize pool hall and walked to Guo Dan's side.
Guo Dan asked, "Is Chen Yuan here?" ”
"I've been staying in the house since I came, and I don't have the face to see you."
"Am I that mean?" Guo Dan smiled bitterly.
"You're not mean, but you're cunning, and that's worse than being mean." Liu Xinmou teased Guo Dan, and said with a straight face: "But this time, the matter is really not so simple to solve, according to the news I inquired, the four major tooth shops have purchased all the timber in the capital, and they want to get a piece of the pie." ”
Guo Dan sighed: "I guessed this, but doing business is about cooperation, I hope they don't eat too salty." ”
As they spoke, they came to a room on the edge of the racecourse.
"Virtuous nephew, Liu Gongzi."
When Chen Ping saw them coming, he hurriedly stood up.
"Please be seated."
Guo Dan stretched out his hand and gestured. After the three of them sat down, Guo Dan asked, "Outside, how is this timber purchased?" ”
Chen Ping said with an embarrassed face: "Virtuous nephew, I'm really sorry, I'm already willing to buy their timber at twice the price, but they still won't, so I have to ask for three times the price." If you don't have a virtuous nephew, you go and talk to Xing'anbo and let him come forward. ”
Liu Xinmou said: "This matter is not so simple, now many ministers in the DPRK and China are against Marseille, if we ask the uncle to make a move, then those ministers in the DPRK and China will definitely support the four official teeth, and I don't think the uncle will agree." ”
"What then?"
Chen Ping looked at Guo Dan in embarrassment.
Although he is the largest timber merchant, he still can't see enough in the face of the four official teeth in a monopoly position!
Guo Dan pondered for a while, and said: "Let's see how Marseille benefits this time, if it's good, three times will be three times, I can't wait endlessly, this matter must be solved quickly." ”
"I see."
Chen Ping nodded, and sighed in annoyance, "This thing is really ......." ”
This money should have been earned by him, and for this reason he also let Yaxing buy shares, but now he has let the four official teeth earn it, how willing do you call him!
At this time, there was a knock in front of the door, "Uncle, the prime minister and Xing Anbo are here." ”
"Okay, I'll go over right away."
Guo Dan stood up and said to Chen Ping again: "Chen Yuanwai, although this money has made a lot of money, you have to do this for me well, and you can't delay it for too long." ”
"Don't worry, even if you lose money, I'll help you do it well."
"That's good! I went out first. ”
......
Come to the VIP room.
Before he could salute, Zhang Cheng asked, "Guo Dan, we heard that you are in trouble." ”
Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said, "How did the prime minister know?" ”
Zhang Cheng said: "When our family came, I heard many people complaining that you are too simple here, and there is not even a comfortable wine shop. ”
Guo Dan nodded and said, "There is such a thing." ”
"It's really unreasonable, they are clearly here for you." Zhang Cheng said: "If you are uneven, our family will help you talk about it." ”
This money is the emperor's, not Guo Dan, this is the emperor's money, of course Zhang Cheng can't bear it.
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "I don't dare to make a move in this matter, and if the minister makes a move, there may be someone in the court and China who will help the other party." As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Mengxi.
Xu Mengxi pretended not to see it, and the old fox told Zhang Cheng about it, the purpose was to hope that Zhang Cheng would make a move.
Zhang Cheng nodded slightly and said, "You have a point, but do you have a way to solve it?" ”
Guo Dan said: "I'm thinking of a way." ”
.....
Although simple, but this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for Marseille, the first day of the bet amount exceeded 50,000 taels, and so on the second day directly broke 100,000 taels, obviously, this time the number of bets has increased, because the first Marseille gave birth to a group of small rich people, everyone wants to bicycles into motorcycles, at the same time many people touch some doorways, know how to disperse betting, which inadvertently bet on the money has increased.
As for the number of spectators, there are no more, because there are no more.
The competition was even more intense than the first one, not only the audience, but even the players were very devoted, because they saw that Xu Jirong was able to become famous overnight with this Marseille, and also became Marseille's charity ambassador, resulting in this Marseille in their hearts, it has become an opportunity to make a name for themselves, and they are very well prepared for this, and they don't go out these days.
Their elders also came to watch the game, and this game was also about the glory of the family.
And Wanli still sent Jinyiwei to report the changes in the prize pool hall in real time.
Hearing that the total amount exceeded 100,000 taels, I laughed again.
As for what Shilin, what morality, what etiquette, no one cares at all, this number of people is the last word.
This time, the players played relatively normally, there was no big upset, and the rich people who were born did not have more than last time, and there were more people who won money, but this sense of accomplishment made those sons and buddies very satisfied, because they had done their homework, and now they have succeeded, and there is an indescribable refreshment in their hearts.
It can be seen that they will bet more confidently next time.
This second Marseille was so successful, Guo Dan also had the confidence to buy timber at three times the price, and he really asked Chen Ping to buy timber at three times the price.
The Jiang family.
"Hehe... As we expected, they had to buy it even for three times the price. Zhao Fengyuan said with a smile.
Mao Shen said excitedly: "We have made a lot of money this time!" ”
Jiang Shiyou said: "What? Do you think it's time to make a move? ”
Xiong Feng smiled slightly: "I think it can go up again, this Marseille is so profitable, if it doubles, they will buy it." I've heard a lot of people complain about the simplicity of the racecourse, and that if you don't build a good pasture, you can't raise horses, which is not only about money, but even about Guo Dan's life. ”
Zhao Fengyuan and Mao Shen glanced at each other.
"Then double it again." Zhao Fengyuan said excitedly.
Jiang Shiyou nodded and smiled: "That's what I mean." ”
Xiong Feng said suddenly: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell them, I found out that the Kou family's tooth shop has recently secretly purchased silk. ”
"Buying silk? How did I not know this? Mao was surprised.
Xiong Feng said: "What they do is very hidden, they are buying a lot of silk in the name of charity, and they publicize that they will take out 30% of the profits, that is, nearly 4,000 taels, but as far as I know, they are buying silk and satin with 10,000 taels." ”
Jiang Shiyou frowned and said: "The price of this silk has been very stable in recent years, and nothing has happened today, and it is impossible for the price of silk to rise." ”
Xiong Feng said: "Guo Dan is very cunning, he is so covert in his purchase of silk, there must be a conspiracy in it." ”
Jiang Shiyou nodded and said, "Yes, we can't be careless in this matter, we must deal with it carefully." ”
