Whether it is the common people or high-ranking officials and nobles, they will choose a familiar, trusted, well-built, and powerful money bank, rather than Qiao Xingbang, an outsider.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Qiao Xingbang cannot enter the Beijing Chamber of Commerce by relying on this money. Although Qiao Xingbang is doing medicinal herb business with the pharmacy in the capital, he uses his own medicinal herb shop in western Sichuan, so Qiao Yixi knows that the place in this chamber of commerce is not easy to come by, but he doesn't know what position Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao Si occupy in the middle.

"Jojo!"

Qiao Lao Er was as enthusiastic as ever, and as soon as Qiao Lixi entered the door, he took the initiative to greet him.

"Second uncle." Isn't it acting?

In front of outsiders, Qiao Lixi is still very "sensible".

Second Master Qiao was very happy to see Qiao Lixi, and while leading her inside, he took the initiative to introduce: "Qiao Qiao is the first time to come to the Chamber of Commerce, right?" There is not much difference between the Chamber of Commerce in Beijing and Jincheng, Qiao Qiao was the president of the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce before, and he has a better understanding of the process of the Chamber of Commerce. Although he is still a newcomer in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, the eldest brother's ability is there, Qiao Qiao's growth during this time, and the second uncle also sees it, maybe, Qiao Qiao can also run for the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce! ”

Second Master Qiao was very excited, and his voice couldn't help but get louder.

The people from the Chamber of Commerce arrived one after another, and the words that Second Master Qiao originally said were meaningful to the ears of these people.

Oh, a merchant from a small place, being able to enter the big circle of the capital is a blessing accumulated in the previous life, and he still wants to be the president?

Who gave her self-confidence?

Among these people, many people recognized Qiao Lixi's identity, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Dingguo, and Gu Jinzhen's wife.

Although they are grateful to Gu Jinzhen and the Marquis of Zhenyuan for protecting their families and defending the country, it does not mean that they accept a woman in the Chamber of Commerce, and tolerating her to enter the Chamber of Commerce is already the limit, if it weren't for Qiao Xingbang's business ability, if it weren't for Qiao Lixi's ability to do business, if it weren't for Qiao Lixi's Gu family, Qiao Lixi was not even qualified to touch the lion at the door of the Chamber of Commerce, she really thought she was omnipotent?

The president of the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce?

Oh, it's really a mud leg in a small place.

Let a woman take the position.

Oh, no.

Qiao Lixi is not a woman yet.

How bold Qiao Erye said, how much everyone despised Qiao Yixi.

Although everyone didn't speak, the emotions on their faces were too obvious, and when Qiao Lixi and Qiao Erye walked into the door of the conference room together, the noise in the room stopped for a moment.

It's really just a moment.

Just when Qiao Lixi's right foot followed her left foot into the door, the noise in the house sounded again, how to blow each other in business, and how to blow each other, without even giving Qiao Lixi a corner of his eye.

As if he hadn't noticed, after bringing Qiao Yixi into the hall, he was greeted by an acquaintance.

Before leaving, he pretended to glance at Qiao Lixi.

Qiao Yixi smiled and bowed her head.

"Okay, the second uncle will have a few words in the past, you can see for yourself first." After instructing Qiao Yixi, Second Master Qiao walked towards his circle.

The isolated Qiao Lixi stood in the corner of the hall.

There are many merchants in the capital, but not many can join the chamber of commerce.

Each local chamber of commerce has its own review criteria, from the size of the store, the amount of profit, to the influence and background of the industry, only these meet the standards, can enter the chamber of commerce.

It can be said that the people gathered in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce are all influential figures in the imperial economy, such as: the Jin family, the richest man in the dynasty.

Qiao Lixi carefully observed the party of the Chamber of Commerce, and unsurprisingly found that Qiao Lao Er and Qiao Lao Si belonged to different parties.

Come to think of it, one of them represents the second prince and the other represents the third prince, and it is absolutely impossible for them to stand together.

Qiao Lixi rubbed her jaw.

I just don't know if the camp they belong to is like them, in the court.

After thinking about it, Qiao Yixi shook her head.

The second prince and the third prince need silver, but they will not have too much contact with the merchants, otherwise, they will raise the appetite of these people, or rely too much on the silver in the hands of these people, and when one of them ascends to the throne, how to arrange these merchants who have the merit of following the dragon?

At that time, the treasury will not be able to compare with the turnover of several merchants, not only a joke, but also a crisis.

It is not a good thing for a country's economy to be controlled too much in the hands of the plutocracy.

Qiao Lixi was still thinking about it, and someone announced the start of the meeting.

After coming back to her senses, Qiao Lixi glanced left and right, and everyone walked towards their positions. She glanced around and walked towards the last place, where no one was around.

As soon as he sat down, a fat figure rushed from outside the door, and the ground was shaking because of the heaviness of his body.

The man rushed to the door, stood still, panting, glanced left and right, saw Qiao Lixi, and ran towards her with his fat all over his body.

The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched.

"Jojo." Before he could sit down, Kimberkin greeted him first.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I thought that you came to the Chamber of Commerce for the first time today, so I naturally wanted to accompany you, but the carriage broke down on the way, and I came here." Before he had time to adjust his breathing, Kimberkin said breathlessly.

Qiao Yixi was a little moved in her heart, "I know that you are righteous, speaking of which, it is my blessing to know you, you are one of my few friends, and you are still the best one." ”

Kim Birkin squinted his eyes in satisfaction, "Don't slap my horse or fart, I just reluctantly helped you for the sake of us being classmates." ”

"Okay." Qiao Lixi nodded meekly.

The president, who sat on the throne, frowned, and his face was ugly.

It's not because of Kimberkin's tardiness, nor because Kimberkin and Qiao Yixi have no one in their eyes, but because they are embarrassed.

Why the embarrassment?

Heh, this Jin family is too shameless.

Before, he pretended to be high and disdained to join the Chamber of Commerce, but later, he inexplicably joined the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce and became the vice president!

Now, he has quietly joined the Chamber of Commerce in the capital, isn't the purpose just to help Qiao Yixi?

The chairman completely forgot about handing over the invitation letter to the Kim family before.

In his eyes, the Jin family has disdained the Chamber of Commerce all these years, since they are so backbone, then don't bend their waists!

Entering the Chamber of Commerce with the hat of the richest man of the dynasty is a provocation to his authority?

I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this Qiao Lixi gave to Jin Baijin, and actually let the future head of the Jin family willingly revolve around him.

In the eyes of the president, the Jin family is an outsider.

The ancestral home of the Jin family is in Jincheng, Shuzhou, and the place where they started is also Jincheng, Shuzhou, no matter how they develop, in the eyes of the natives of the capital, they are outsiders, or outsiders from the countryside.

Jin Baijin and Qiao Lixi's conversation with no one around him, although it did not affect him, but he himself couldn't sit still first.

This delicate mood deeply affected him, so much so that in the later speeches, he was a little absent-minded.

Today's meeting is very simple, it is a daily meeting, talking about the expected development of various industries, and then planning the economy of the dynasty.

Although the Chamber of Commerce is an organization, it does not restrict the competition between industries, whether it is an open gun or a hidden arrow, everyone has their own ability, whether it is developed, whether the family is broken or dead, it is all personal behavior, and the Chamber of Commerce does not interfere.

For this purpose of the Chamber of Commerce, Qiao Yixi felt funny.

Since it is not restricted, then what do you need the Chamber of Commerce for?

However, Qiao Yixi quickly figured it out.

We need a group, a so-called group that can unite everyone's strength and develop together.

This group only protects the interests of individual people.

Fittest.

This is the law of survival that applies in every dynasty and everywhere.

What height you can stand at is up to you.

Therefore, at today's regular meeting, Qiao Lixi heard the news of the closure of several merchants.

These merchants are not members of the Chamber of Commerce, and their financial resources and scale are average, and the president routinely reported it, and everyone should have more news, nothing special.

After the meeting, Jin Baijin and Qiao Lixi went to Zhong Chenglin's teahouse, and as soon as the two entered the door, they saw Yu Rou, who was already waiting there.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Kimp Birkin had a moment of awkwardness when he entered the door.

Although she wasn't very sure, Qiao Lixi still felt it, and glanced at Yu Rou teasingly.

Yu Rou rolled her eyes and called Xiao Er.

After a table of dishes, the three of them chatted while eating.

"That Jingjin shop really attracted the vigilance of the second and fourth rooms of the Qiao family." Yu Rou said.

"They sent someone?" Qiao Yixi asked.

"Naturally, it was sent, but it was not a troublemaker, but several grades of Jingjin bought a foot back each." Kimberkin said teasingly.

Qiao Yixi immediately understood, and said with a smile: "They think that they can study a reason for this?" ”

Kimberkin was even more narrow-faced, "If it was really that easy, I wouldn't have experimented for so long." ”

It's him, he got the recipe given by Qiao Yixi, and it took a lot of time to experiment, the second and fourth rooms of the Qiao family thought that they would buy Jingjin back, just by looking at it, they could see why it came out?

Hehe, if they really want to be seen, he eats all the Jingjin!

After a few words in his heart, when he spoke again, Kimprykin's tone took on a contemptuous nonchalance, "That's all they can do, what else can they do besides stealing from others?" ”

Qiao Lixi nodded in agreement.

The people in the second and fourth rooms of the Qiao family were actually very aggrieved, because the shop was made by Yu Rou and Jin Baijin, so the people in the two rooms couldn't really use the topic to play in addition to eating this dumb loss, so they bought Jingjin back to study, trying to find something similar to Shu Jin, to be exact, they wanted to find the shadow of the Qiao family's secret recipe.

Only when they find clues can they have an excuse to ask Changfang Xingshi for their guilt, and only then can they have an excuse to continue to squeeze Qiao Xingbang.

How to press?

Lose money and cut the land.

"By the way, there is one more thing," it was Qiao Yixi who said this, "The shops that the president said today are the shops in the dark of Duanmu. ”

"So exciting?" Jin Baijin didn't gnaw on the chicken legs anymore, and leaned over to Qiao Lixi's side with an oily face.

Qiao Lixi avoided it in disgust.

Yu Rou also looked at Qiao Yixi with interest.

Qiao Lixi continued: "It was the second prince's hand. ”

"What do you need us to do?" Kimberkin, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, immediately asked wisely.

Qiao Lixi took out two pieces of paper from her arms and handed them to Yu Rou.
