"Uncle Yue, why did you arrange it like this, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance? This? For me, it's a little too sudden! Zhuangzi asked.

"Suddenly?"

Bai Gui laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I also feel sudden!" ”

"You also feel sudden?"

"How so? Isn't it all for my daughter? Be selfish! It's true! It's all for my daughter Shirayuki! ”

"Alas!" Bai Gui sighed and said seriously: "I also told you last night, originally!" I'm not going to say anything about the marriage contract to Bai Xue. At that time, I wanted to marry the little girl to you, but wasn't it at that time? Chased behind her ass by Pang Juan? Didn't work out?

Born in troubled times, if you break up, you will break up, and you may never see each other again in this life. Maybe! Maybe after we break up, who won't see the sun tomorrow, right?

But? Who made you meet the little girl again? Who made the little girl like you?

Furthermore! You didn't kill my son Baishan, and I'm grateful to you.

This is not? Bai Xue had a showdown with me, saying that she liked you. No! It should be that kid from Baishan, who chattered all day long, and Bai Xue publicly admitted it. I couldn't hide anything in my heart, so I told her about the marriage.

Where to know! Bai Xue gave me an order, I must find you, she wants to fulfill the marriage contract! Otherwise! So she ran away from home. I have no choice but to send someone to inquire about your news.

This is not? I heard that you passed through the lacquer garden and returned to the Mojia branch altar in Mengxian County. This is not? I also have a business here in Qiyuan.

In fact! The business here in Qiyuan is not mine! I used to help them, and they still recognized me as the shopkeeper and were willing to share the accounts with me.

This is not? After I inquired about the situation here, I came to the lacquer garden and found that it was a good place, so I came up with this idea......"

Bai Gui told the story of the incident one by one.

"I didn't mean anything else! Don't be careful! I'm not taking advantage of you! I know! You are a Taoist, Taoists are like this, don't trust others easily! So! I'll be honest with you. That's the way it is! For the sake of my daughter, in order to find you, I have to make this decision. As for my ideas, you can listen to them, adopt them, or you may not listen to them, it's up to you!

But! If you listen? My father-in-law assures you! I am willing to devote all my financial resources to support you! Strong force requires strong financial resources to guarantee! You have soldiers on hand and you can't support them, it's all for nothing!

My husband, me! I can tell you the bottom! With my current financial resources, Bai Gui ......" Bai Gui lowered his voice and said, "I can control the war of a country!" ”

"A war that swayes a country?" Zhuangzi asked incredulously.

"I can stop the world from going to war."

"Stop the war in the world?"

"If I want the Chu State to immediately withdraw its troops, the Chu State will have to quit! He had no money to buy food, grass, weapons, chariots and horses, so what good was he if he had soldiers? Isn't it?

I'm telling you! At present, the seven major vassal states of the Great Zhou world, I have the ability to make it impossible for him to start a war! You said? If you follow my plan, I promise! Everything went well......"

Baekyu's wealth rivals that of the country. No! It's the richest in the world!

Listening to what the old man said, he can prevent all the vassal states from starting wars. Especially in a land country like Chu, he can.

At that time, the state of Chu was the most powerful country in terms of comprehensive national strength among the seven princes.

A strong comprehensive national strength does not mean a strong military, the same goes for it! A strong military does not mean that you can win a war. The prerequisite for winning a war is not only to have a strong army, but also to have combat effectiveness and be willing to fight.

"You don't believe it, do you? You? ”

Seeing Zhuangzi's appearance, Bai Gui picked up the wine glass and took a sip by himself. Putting the wine glass on the table, he got serious again.

"The country of Chu is my birthplace! After I resigned from the state of Wei, I went to the state of Chu with all my possessions. I first bought and sold to do a small business, the people of Chu were relatively gentle, and the business was easy to do, and soon I saved a lot of money. Afterward! I secretly opened a copper mine in the state of Chu and accumulated a lot of wealth.

That's it! I have done business all over the Chu country, all walks of life.

When the war came, I transferred my money in Chu through the sale of grain, iron tools, horses, chariots, etc.

And then later! I quickly spread my business in Korea, Zhao, and Yan, and Qi was the last vassal state. The commerce of the other small princes in the country is almost monopolized by me. As soon as my money comes in, I can have a full monopoly.

The Qin State was too poor to enter because of the repeated wars. Later, because of Wei Ying's change, he couldn't do business there. So! In the Qin Kingdom, I had almost no business at all. But! During the war, I also had contact with the Qin side and sold some military supplies to them......"

Minerals are originally the national property of the vassal states, but your country has no money to develop them, and it is useless to have mineral resources. And also! Even if you have the money to exploit it, you don't have the technology and the cost of smelting, you can't fully exploit it.

Bai Gui Niu reached this level, and he partnered with the vassal states to mine minerals and smelt minerals. When the vassal states were in dire need of money, when they sold the ore, they could buy the mined ore into their own hands and resell it to other vassal states. Anyway! He has money in his hands and can play as much as he wants.

In particular, mineral resources, especially iron ore and copper ore, were military supplies at that time, and they were even more valuable, which can be said to be priceless.

All these operations do not require him to come forward in person, and someone has come forward for him. As long as there are interests, there will always be corrupt officials in the government, and they will maneuver around for you and do things seamlessly.

And he! As long as you raise a group of thugs under your command, a group of sworn friends is enough. Trick me! The consequence is death! Doing business according to the contract, win-win, the result is a happy cooperation!

During the Warring States period, countless people lived for the sake of living, and as long as you gave their lives and gave their families the lives, they also gave you their lives and let you dominate.

So! Bai Gui's subordinates have countless people who work for him.

"Son-in-law! My husband has a showdown with you! The old man is sincere, helping you to dominate the world? What else are you worried about? It's all a family, what else are you worried about? ”

Seeing that Zhuangzi was still there, he said, "These are absolutely secrets. Even the guards outside the door, I didn't tell them all about it. It's not that I'm worried about them, I'm afraid that these people won't be able to hide their words. If it is revealed, there will be a commercial blockade in the Great Zhou Dynasty, confiscating or freezing all commercial property, and my husband will be bankrupt. ”

As he spoke, Baekyu looked towards the door with some trepidation.

Not to mention that the business in the world is all his, almost all of those transnational business organizations are operated by him in partnership with high-level officials and nobles.
