Although the holy decree said that the Wen Party would be arrested, Ji Di still took into account that the Wen Party was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and was also old, so he did not escort him into the prison car, and allowed the Wen Party to follow him into Beijing in Su Ren's carriage. [Ran^Text^Library] []

There were very few people who came to see him off, except for Su Ren, there were a few old people who knew each other. Chang Shi didn't come, but only sent Chang Yuan to send some gifts. His current position is very delicate, Wen Dang is his teacher, but he is a criminal. I often think about it again and again, and I feel that it is not good for me to come forward in person.

Su Ren handed a burden to Laifu: "Along the way, the good students take care of the teacher, there is some gold in it, when I arrive in Chang'an, I immediately go to the old shopkeeper of Xiangfu, ask him to help, if you need to do something, you can do it, it's not enough to talk, you must not let the teacher suffer, wait for me to go to Chang'an!" ”

Laifu nodded solemnly, turned on his horse, and followed the team on the road. Su Ren knelt in the middle of the official road, bowed to the carriage before getting up, watched the carriage disappear from view, and stood on the road for a long time before walking back.

Sima Xiangru sighed: "When are you going to go to Chang'an?" ”

"I haven't thought about it, at least I have to deal with the affairs of Chengdu."

"Everything else is easy to say, the county soldiers have been pacified, there is no problem with Li Cheng and Gou Tianming, only the problem of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is the most difficult to deal with, although the current Taishou is a common thing, after all, he will not support you like Wen Taishou, and the businessmen are very shrewd, Cui said that there have been seven or eight merchants talking to him about quitting the Chamber of Commerce these days."

"Exit? Well, let them retreat! As long as they don't regret it! ”

"Do you have a way?"

Su Ren smiled: "If you want to say that I may not be qualified to be an official, in business, even if they are all tied together, they are not my opponents, do you believe it?" ”

Sima Xiangru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hey! The merchants of Shu County are going to be unlucky! ”

Making money is always the main purpose of a businessman, and it is best to be able to make money alive. How to make money is also particular, and the key is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. However, sometimes the benefits are so great that the harm is not the case. Chengdu City is very strange these days, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce not only sells a large number of goods that other merchants have not been able to get by any means, but also the price is low, and the price is incredible.

Shopkeeper Hu, who had just quit the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, was in the warehouse looking at the Yelang animal skin he had received, which was a good thing. A complete tiger skin to get to the capital is dozens of times the profit. He now had thirteen sheets in his warehouse, each of them of the finest color, with a complete fur, one black and one yellow, very striking. And the tiger's head, the two hollow eyes have been repaired with fine pearls and agate, and they are majestic.

"Master, I heard that the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce will have more good things to sell tomorrow, shall we buy some more?" Lao Qiu, who was in charge, stood behind the shopkeeper Hu with low eyebrows.

Shopkeeper Hu made a straight face: "What other good things are there?" ”

"It's said to be a kind of stone, which can only be found in a mountain in Yoro, and I've seen it, and it's crystal clear and beautiful, and there are several different colors."

"Oh? What is it? ”

Lao Qiu shook his head: "I don't see what it is, they say it's called a colorful stone." ”

"How many?"

"There is not much inventory, and there are only a few jade shops in the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and even Cui Jiuming and Su Ren don't have many in their own shops, but the price is a bit high, and the smallest stone is topped with five tiger skins."

"That's five thousand dollars?"

"Yes, the stones are really beautiful, they are all round, you can see that side from this side, and I don't know if they are polished or they are like this."

Shopkeeper Hu thought for a while: "How much will it cost if you buy it all?" ”

Lao Qiu was stunned: "What does the master mean to buy them all?" That's going to cost a lot of money, and I'm afraid I'm ...... if I don't have 10 million dollars."

Shopkeeper Hu gasped: "So much money? ”

Lao Qiu didn't speak, and stood quietly behind the shopkeeper Hu. After a long time, the shopkeeper Hu asked the tiger skin to be packed up, and said to Lao Qiu while walking out: "Go and invite Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Fang, and Shopkeeper Wu to come here, Su Ren was dismissed, and the Wen Party was also escorted to Chang'an, and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is no longer good, in order to save the Wen Party and that Dong Zhongshu, this time Su Ren will have to pay blood." ”

"Hmph, those stupid people, I thought that Su Ren would be able to make money by gathering all the businessmen in Shu together, but now it's okay, follow Su Ren to sell such a good thing cheaply, I don't know how much to lose? In a few days, we will be the biggest businessman in Shu County! ”

Lao Qiu agreed, and said resignedly: "The master is right, there was the support of the Wen Party in the past, and now the common thing recognizes money and does not recognize people, and Su Ren has no matter how much money he has, he has ruined it." ”

"Huh! Let's go and do something, shall we? ”

The shopkeepers of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce were invited by Su Ren to Cuixiang Building, which is the base camp of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and many things that need to be discussed will be here. At the beginning of the renovation of Cuixiang Building, Su Ren specially opened up a room in the backyard, the room was very large, with tables, chairs and stools, built according to the appearance of the conference room in later generations.

Su Ren sat at the top of the conference table, Cui Jiuming on the left, Sima Xiangru on the right, and all the businessmen of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce were present. Hawking and Huang 13 led people to block the water pavilion around this conference room, not to mention people, not even flies don't want to fly in.

Cui Jiuming took a sip of tea and looked around: "Okay, don't talk about it, people are almost here, let's talk about the future plans of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce now, every merchant has lost a lot of money a few days ago, and the overall calculation is about 100,000 yuan, and then it depends on how we get this money back from those guys who think our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is not good." ”

glanced at a dark and thin middle-aged man in the corner: "Shopkeeper Wang, how is the matter with you?" ”

The shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stood up and nodded to everyone: "President Cui rest assured, it has been done, almost every merchant has sent someone to see it, and they have all asked the price, according to the price said by the president, he did not say that he died, and he kept the deduction." ”

Cui Jiuming nodded: "Very good, Shopkeeper Wang did a good job this time, this matter is done, I will give you more rights to half of the goods!" ”

"President Xie, President Xie!" The shopkeeper sat down with a smile on his face, which aroused the envy of everyone.

Su Ren lightly slapped it on the table: "Very good, it took half a month to build momentum, success or failure depends on tomorrow, whether we can earn back the money we let out, and then kill those guys ruthlessly on you, this time in addition to those small ones sold for five thousand yuan, I have prepared ten other big ones, and I will prepare an auction here in three days, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”

"To be honest, this thing isn't worth a lot of money, if you want it, I'll give you a few beautiful ones!"

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.

Su Ren also laughed a few times: "It's the same as before, these things are only known to us internally, if anyone spreads it, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless, you should know the consequences of going against me, if you destroy this plan, I'm afraid you don't need me to do it, everyone here has lost a lot in the past half a month, all rely on this time to make up for it, I don't guarantee whether I can leave Chengdu alive." ”

"Make money? Making money is a good thing, the most important thing is to spend a life, do you think what I said is right? ”

A young shopkeeper stood up: "Sir, don't worry, if you can sit here, it will be the people of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, I, Zhuang Qianjiu, will guarantee the life of the whole family, and I will never betray the Chamber of Commerce!" ”

"I also pledge the lives of my whole family!"

"I'll vouch too!"

Everybody took a stand. Cui Jiuming and Su Ren glanced at each other. Cui Jiuming said with a smile: "That's good, after the business is over, let's talk about some private matters, let's eat after talking about private matters, and after eating, we will go home and prepare, and start the official action tomorrow!" ”

For a whole day, the principals of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce were in Cuixiang Building. Lao Qiu stared at it for a long time, his eyes were dazzled, and then he saw those businessmen coming out of it drunk one by one. Lao Qiu had attended several such gatherings with Shopkeeper Hu before, but of course Lao Qiu had never entered that conference room. Every time there is a big event in the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, all the businessmen will be summoned here, and the people who come out of here are very tight, and there will be no leakage.

Looking at those businessmen being helped into their carriages by the guards and guards they carried, Lao Qiu had a bad feeling. But he is not ready to tell the master Hu shopkeeper that as a businessman, he should have some integrity. Like his shopkeeper, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce desperately leaned on when it was good, and now when people encounter difficulties, they immediately raise their feet and leave, such people will definitely have no good results in the end.

Shopkeeper Hu and several other shopkeepers were drinking tea and other news in the lobby. Lao Qiu came in and saluted a few shopkeepers.

Shopkeeper Hu asked, "How is it?" ”

Lao Qiu shook his head: "Those people have been in Cuixiang Mansion for a day, and as before, they are guarded by Su Ren's guards all around, there is no way at all!" ”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled: "It's not that I haven't been there before, don't want to get any news from there, it's normal." ”

Shopkeeper Fang frowned: "I don't know what Su Ren said to those guys inside?" I can remember that every time I hold such a meeting, it must be a big event, and the first meeting is to grab all the industries outside the Mengjia; The second time was to deal with Zhuo Wangsun, what are these two now? One is in ashes, the other is in danger, and I don't think it's a good thing this time. ”

"Afraid of what?" Shopkeeper Wu stood up suddenly: "Now there are not only four of us who have left the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, but there are at least two dozen of them, I don't believe that he Su Ren can take us all down with one blow?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu waved his hand to let Lao Qiu go down, and said to the three people: "Have you seen all those colorful stones?" There won't be any problems, right? ”

Shopkeeper Wu was the first to speak: "I really see it, I don't know how it was made, that thing is never made, except for the natural no one has that ability, this time I will definitely make a move, and I will never stop if I don't get a dozen." ”

"Dozen? Fifty thousand dollars! ”

"Is fifty thousand dollars too much? If there were more, I'd like to get them! This thing can be considered a family heirloom! ”

The room was quiet, several people lowered their heads and thought about things, only Shopkeeper Wu stood dumbfounded.
