Chapter 519: The First Group of Merchants
Su Ren was sweating and struggled to carry a big rock into the car. Huang Shisan and Manniu stood on the side, looking at Su Renlei's blushing face and thick neck, and he didn't move. "Bang dang!" Finally put the stone on the car gang, and after a little relief, the big stone fell down again, almost hitting the surface of Su Ren's feet.
"Hahaha......" Hawking laughed: "Big brother, you lose, pay for it!" ”
Su Ren gasped for breath and wanted to kick the disobedient big stone hard, but after thinking about it, forget it. After touching all over his body, he found a few dollars and threw it into Hawking's hand: "The kid is not very old, but his strength is not small, he really shouldn't bet with you, that's all, and the rest is owed first." ”
"I am willing to lose the bet, if the eldest brother is still not convinced, we can compare with others, picking soil, pulling carts, sending mud and everything."
", there's no money!"
Hawking shook his head and beckoned Shi Bao and Li Kang, preparing to go to the braised meat shop that had just been built in the city to buy braised meat and wine.
Huang Shisan bent down and gently picked up the stone that Su Ren had just thrown on the ground and got into the car: "I know that I have to bet if I lose, Mr. is biased." ”
Su Ren smiled: "A group of children, are you still jealous?" ”
"I'm going to drink, not jealous!" As soon as the bull exerted his strength, Huang 13 pushed it, and the cart full of stones headed towards the city wall.
Su Ren laughed: "Okay, drink, finish the work, let Lao Cui invite us to drink!" ”
Cui Jiuming was busy, and there was neither an official nor a small official in a large area, and all things were undertaken by the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce. As the president of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, Cui Jiuming needs to take the idea of how high the city wall here is; The streets over there are a little shorter; The newly built buildings are too close together; Is it to dig an extra well, and so on. Cui Jiuming didn't even have time to eat from the time he opened his eyes in the morning to the time he went to bed at night.
Su Ren stood at the door with Huang Shisan and Manniu covered in stinky sweat. Cui Jiuming's office is just outside the city, and the small thatched hut is crowded with people, scrambling one by one. Cui Jiuming sat at a table, writing and talking, his fat body sweating hotly.
Su Ren gave Huang 13 a look, Huang 13 sneered, clasped his hands, and squeezed into the crowd. He was strong and fierce, and as soon as he struck, the people who had gathered in the hut fell down one after another, and the screams were filled with shouts and curses. Huang Shisan glared at the scolding guy viciously, and the kid quickly closed his mouth.
Su Ren followed behind Huang Shisan, nodded his head, and arched his hand with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, this guy is a bad person, forgive me." ”
Cui Jiuming suddenly felt that the situation was wrong, and as soon as he looked up, Huang Shisan was already standing in front of him, and hurriedly put down the brush in his hand: "What about Brother Su?" ”
Huang Shisan flashed and leaked out Su Ren, who was apologizing to those people behind him: "Forgive me, everyone, I'm really anxious, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”
The people here are all shopkeepers of various shops, and with their qualifications, they have not yet arrived in Chengdu, where they have met Su Ren. These people are all right-hand men sent by various merchants in Shuzhong, one is exercise; Second, they are also coming by themselves, and they have to earn some money to get a wife. In Jiangsu, these people are not only responsible for the construction of their own shops, but also cooperate with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to manage the construction site and various projects, and they are more active in public and private.
"It's all gone! Something to talk about tomorrow! As soon as Su Ren came, Cui Jiuming knew that he couldn't work, so he simply delayed it a little longer.
"President Cui, we are all in a hurry, if you don't make up your mind, we won't be able to work?" The crowd did not disperse because of Cui Jiuming's words, but squeezed forward again.
Cui Jiuming was helpless: "Brother Su, here, do you want to wait for a while?" ”
Su Ren nodded with a smile and moved aside with Huang Thirteen and Manniu. While drinking tea, listening to those people and Cui Jiuming discuss matters, it is all trivial matters, it stands to reason that they can make up their own minds about these things, but these people came to ask Cui Jiuming in piles. Su Ren understands that it's not that Cui Jiuming doesn't know how to manage, he is also a big businessman, and he still understands how to manage people, the reason why Cui Jiuming did this is completely for the entire Jiangsu City or Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and he is tired now to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the future.
Lao He roared and ran in: "Let Jean, there's a big deal!" ”
Lao He is the shopkeeper of the linen cloth workshop, this person can speak well, is Cui Jiuming's right-hand man, this time Lao He is responsible for contacting businessmen from all over the world, paving the way for the future of Jiangsu, if it weren't for Su Ren to come, Lao He may still be running around somewhere.
"President, someone's coming!" Lao He's face was solemn.
"Merchants or officials?"
Lao He shook his head and looked left and right. Cui Jiuming immediately understood, and his face sank: "It's scattered today, and if there is a big thing, I will wait for tomorrow." ”
They all had eyes, and this time no one stopped them, and they silently exited the room one by one. As soon as the others left, Lao He found that Su Ren was sitting in the corner drinking tea. Hurriedly put on a smiling face: "It turns out that Mr. is also here, it just so happens that this matter may have something to do with Mr." ”
"Oh? Could it be that someone from Huainan is here? ”
Lao He stretched out his thumb: "Mr. is really a god, I guessed it, I just received the news that the king of Huainan has sent people to our Jiangsu, and organized a large number of businessmen, and released cruel words to buy the whole of Jiangsu." ”
"It's not a small tone! But it's a good thing! ”
Cui Jiuming frowned: "We didn't have a holiday with Huainan Kingdom, why did they suddenly have such a big move?" ”
Lao He shook his head: "Then I don't know, there is a bigger accident, Liu An, the king of Huainan, sent Liu Hong, the fifth son, as a representative, as the representative of the king of Huainan, and also wants to buy shops and land in our Jiangsu City." ”
"Brother Su, I think this is coming for you!"
"Then should we send someone to stop them?" Lao He asked: "Mr. is the envoy of Hengshan Kingdom, Jiangsu is our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, at this time the King of Huainan sent someone to designate it is not a good intention." ”
Su Ren waved his hand: "Can't stop it, if you stop the merchants of Huainan Country this time, then they can spread it everywhere, saying that our Jiangsu City doesn't welcome merchants from all over the world as said, who will come in the future?" As long as they have money, they can sell them to their shops, if there is enough money, what about the whole Jiangsu to them? ”
"This is what we worked hard to build, and we can't afford to be cheap Huainan people."
Su Ren smiled: "What are we doing when we build a city, isn't it just to sell money, who to sell it to is not to sell, okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll do it, I just want to stay in Jiangsu for a few days, and I will fight with these Huainan businessmen first." ”
Lao He still wanted to persuade again, but Cui Jiuming pulled Lao He by the hand: "With Brother Su here, what are we afraid of?" Don't worry, when will Brother Su do a loss-making business? ”
The next day, Su Ren sent Shi Bao and Lao He to wait at the border with people. Shi Bao has a lot of eyes and a black heart, and he is still a nominal guard of Jiangsu City, and his identity is also suitable. Lao He is the representative of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and he is also the master of Jiangsu City, and the cooperation of the two of them is enough to deal with everything.
Su Ren didn't go to the construction site again, and invited Cui Jiuming, Han Qing, and several old people in the Chamber of Commerce to discuss how to deal with these people in Huainan Kingdom. There are still voices of resistance, and there are not a few people who hold the same ideas as Lao He. Su Ren patiently explained for a long time, and everyone looked at Su Ren, not speaking, still unwilling.
Cui Jiuming coughed: "Since Brother Su said so, then do what Brother Su said, and not necessarily Huainan Kingdom can come up with this money, don't forget that there are two or three hundred thousand dumps of land here, and it is not easy to swallow it in one bite!" We are businessmen, and what we do is to buy and sell for profit, since some people buy the things in our hands, are we afraid that they will not be able to buy them? ”
Su Ren said: "President Cui is right, since they want to buy it, then they have to come up with the same money in exchange, although Jiangsu is still a little worse than the Central Plains, it's a big deal that we use the money in exchange to go to the Central Plains and start all over again, but, in my estimation, the King of Huainan is not stupid, he won't do this, this time at most to test the truth, as long as we unite wholeheartedly, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
"It's still the same sentence, put your identity right, we are businessmen, and we are not afraid of others spending money." Su Ren stood up: "From now on, I announce a rule, in front of those people in Huainan Kingdom, except for what I say, no one's words will be counted, no matter how much money they bring, let them stay in Jiangsu!" ”
Liu Hong turned his head to look at the long line, the thirty largest businessmen in Huainan were gathered today. All the assets added up are almost the same as the Huainan Palace. For this trip to Jiangsu, Liu Hong used both soft and hard, which brought these businessmen together. Since you, Su Ren, want to build a city next to the pillow of King Huainan, then you must be driven away, and if you can't use force, you can only use money.
The Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money over the years, but Liu Hong clearly knows that it is far worse than their giant businessmen in Huainan. originally expected this group of Shu people to automatically admit defeat in Jianghuai, but Liu Hong understood that as long as Su Ren was the backbone, it would be difficult to deal with those people. Therefore, if you want to move Jiangsu, you must first move Su Ren, and only by moving Su Ren can you successfully take Jiangsu.
Li Dare pressed the hilt of his sword and walked into the gate: "Sir, here, you have arrived at the city gate, do you want to open the door?" ”
"It's fast! Two days and one night can actually walk here from Huainan, it's not easy, go, go and see! ”
The people at the gates of the city have been attracted. The merchant army of Huainan was not only numerous, but also stretched for miles with horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts. Before they entered the city, the veil of the vehicle had been lifted, and several of the men were shouting loudly for the townsfolk to see the good things they had brought.
Liu Hong asked Lao He with a smile: "What does Shopkeeper He think?" It seems that the goods we bring are very popular with the people of Jiangsu. ”
"Humph!" Lao He snorted: "Liu Gongzi, wait a minute, Mr. Su and our president are waiting for you, as for what you said, the villain can't be the master, except for Mr. Su to speak, the villain will go and invite Mr. Su." ”
Liu Hong didn't get angry, and still kept a smile: "Shopkeeper He, please, I'll wait here." ”
