Chapter 167: The Merchants' Ridicule

It is easy for three or five people to reach an agreement, but it is almost impossible for thirty or fifty people to reach a consensus. There are more shareholders, and this right to speak will not be left behind.

The West Building was closed for one day today, and all 37 invited businessmen arrived.

A paper invitation invited more than 30 rich people, which is not only the credit of the soap, but also the face of the dignified marquis, plus the invitation of the poet Xilou.

Although I don't want to admit the identity of a great poet, I can still use it when I can. What's more, the invitation does not explicitly say that the great poet invited him, but only that Mr. Xilou has a new work coming out, and you are invited to come and appreciate it.

Don't think that businessmen don't love poetry, who can become a rich businessman and a giant, who is not full of poetry? Being the first to witness Mr. Xilou's new work is not only a literary feast, but also an honor and a symbol of status.

No matter how much the Great Song Dynasty attached importance to commerce, it was an indisputable fact that the status of merchants was low. This vanity and respect alone was enough to make thirty-seven rich people run over.

It was still a waterfall of red silk, and the merchants stood around the wall, eager to rush up and tear off the eye-opening cloth. It's a pity that this is not in the building, and Mr. Xilou's masterpiece is not even those sisters, and the businessmen have to look at the red silk patiently in a daze.

The round Wang Shaowu walked out with a smile, and the businessmen hurriedly bowed down.

Although he is always suffocated in front of Brother Eleven, after all, he is a marquis from the third grade, and when these businessmen see it, they must be respectful.

The reason why Tian Shiyi did not come forward in person was because he was worried that he would blush.

Lao Lu's poems are excellent, and the businessmen will definitely praise them when they see them. Although Tian Shiyi's face is not thin, he has never been able to change his face when it comes to plagiarism.

Wang Shaowu got the orders of the eleventh brother, and he didn't want to hang the appetite of the merchants, but simply said Mr. Xilou's masterpieces, and ripped off the red silk in the low voice of everyone.

"Don't laugh at the farmer's wine, and stay in the harvest year. There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. The flute and drum follow the spring society closely, and the clothes are simple and ancient. From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon idlely, you will knock on the door with a cane all the time and night. ”

At first, it was just a few people chanting in a low voice, but after two sentences, dozens of people chanted together. By the time the last two sentences arrived, everyone read aloud, just like the children reading ancient poems in a primary school classroom.

Since it's reading ancient poems together, how can one time be enough. So the prince muttered the first sentence again like a mischief.

"Mo laughs at the farmer's wine ......"

The businessmen were really fooled, and it was another round of reading.

After reading three rounds neatly, Brother Eleven felt that he had to come forward, otherwise he was afraid that Wang Shaowu would have to assign homework to the businessmen.

Seeing that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old and somewhat thin boy came forward, all the businessmen gave up their hands together, and they all called out in unison, "Mr. Tian." ”

"Yes!" Brother Eleven thought to himself, "It's becoming more and more like the classroom in his previous life." If it is replaced by Teacher Naga, I will let you go home today and copy the ancient poem three times and then write it down silently. ”

Mr. Xilou is the legend of the young Tian Shiyi, which was originally sent by Wang Shaowu to publicize it, and these businessmen have heard it. Now that Tian Gongzi has come forward in person, it is equivalent to acquiescence.

In business, you can do everything with guns and arrows, but at this time, you are chanting poetry, and a gentleman must be called.

The sycophant was stopped by Tian Shiyi in less than half a round, and then asked the businessmen to sit down and prepare to start talking about business.

If it is said that the most terrible, shameless, and bloodless people in the Great Song Dynasty are not thieves with troops, let alone bandits, but those businessmen.

Just now, he was shouting "Mr. Tian" around Tian Shiyi, and kept patting his ass. And once they changed their words and talked about business, they were all cunning. A group of people who can make their business prosperous are really not fuel-efficient lamps.

If you want them to become shareholders, you naturally have to let them see profits and prospects.

Tian Shiyi waved his hand, and immediately a waiter carried a whiteboard up. The reason why I didn't use the blackboard was because I didn't have time to make chalk, so I had to use charcoal to write on the whiteboard.

Naturally, there should be a "lectern" in front of the blackboard, and how could there be no teaching aids with a lectern? Soap, fruit wine, and candles were put out, and the businessmen's eyes began to heat up.

Recently, these three things have caused a sensation in Hangzhou City, and they are even better than the previous ice fruits. It's a pity that the sale is too small, if you can let go of the sale, the benefits will definitely exceed the accumulation of virtue and good deeds.

Tian Shiyi had these three things delivered to the homes of major businessmen before, and the usage did not need to be reintroduced.

Just memorized the poem, it is equivalent to taking a Chinese class. If you only study liberal arts and don't study science, you will be biased, so Brother Eleven plans to knock on the whiteboard, talk about the key points, and give the businessmen another arithmetic lesson.

Picking up the charcoal pencil and casually putting a few strokes on the whiteboard, Mr. Tian drew a lifelike fat pig.

"Good!"

I don't know which businessman snorted and praised Tian Gongzi's level of painting.

This kind of brushwork has never been seen, and this kind of simple line stick figure is even more unheard of, and a few rough strokes can show Tian Shiyi's painting skills.

It's just that you don't say that you want to talk about business, and what is the purpose of showing off your ability to paint? There was a look of doubt in the eyes of the merchants.

"Huh!" Tian Shiyi laughed twice. The heart said: Let's talk about business, who made you call.

The businessmen were not good students, they didn't sit upright, and some people held a tea bowl in their hands. And the classroom discipline is not enough, and there are still people whispering.

"Ahem!"

Tian Shiyi coughed, but he still couldn't pull everyone's eyes over, so he had to say loudly helplessly: "How about I make a bet with you?" ”

Hearing that there was a bet, all the businessmen looked at Brother Eleven with burning eyes, and the look in their eyes was even more greedy than seeing a beautiful woman.

In the past, Tian Shiyi felt that the Song people were good at gambling and that this was true, but now he feels that this is reasonable.

Since it has attracted everyone's attention, it is natural to seize the time to give a lecture.

Tian Shiyi said: "How much money can a pig make in your hands? ”

A businessman surnamed Wu, who specializes in livestock, replied after a deep groan: "In the hands of Wu, you can make a profit of 1,800 Wen." ”
