Chen Chen sat on the chair and looked at the four of them and smiled slightly: "The four big bosses, although you have industries and deposits in Dongshui, as far as this king knows, your focus is still on Chen Guo, but Chen Guo is now dying, and the business of the four is not as good as before, right?" ”

Poinsettia sighed helplessly and said: "What else can I do, one day is a day, the business here in Dongshui has been doing better recently, but the market has not stabilized, and the income is fluctuating." ”

Listening to Poinsettia slowly playing Tai Chi, Chen Chen was unhappy in his heart: "Boss Poinsettia, we don't talk darkly, we have all cooperated once, and we know each other well, I hope we can be less routine and more sincere." ”

Poinsettia and the other three looked at each other and smiled slightly: "It is our blessing to cooperate with the prince, although we have cooperated once, but that cooperation died because of the coup d'état of Chen Guo." Although there is also a certain amount of publicity, but it is far from enough, we are all businessmen, old and young, this family is counting on the survival of business. ”

Chen Chen coughed embarrassedly: "We didn't expect that coup, but since you entered Dongshui, you have received the greatest privilege, except for collecting taxes, there are no other expenses, aren't the four of you still not satisfied?" Do you really think that you can survive if you enter Nanzhao? To tell you the truth, this king and the emperor of Nanzhao have reached an agreement, and at that time, the Dongshui caravan will all enter Nanzhao, are you sure to fight against the caravan personally supported by this king? ”

As soon as Chen Chen's voice fell, the faces of the four of them were extremely ugly, they didn't expect their plan to enter Dongshui to be known to the prince like this.

"Are you threatening us, Lord Wang?" Poinsettia's face turned cold, she stood up and looked straight at Chen Chen, and the other three also stood behind Poinsettia.

"No, no, no, this king didn't threaten you, after all, this king wants to convince you to join Dongshui. If you join Dongshui, this king can use the power of Dongshui to escort your business, and this king will not huddle here in the future, you know what I mean? Chen Chen said vaguely and took a sip of tea.

"Of course, you can also not join, in case the business has three long and two short, then ask for more blessings, but don't blame this king for not being kind to help you, Dongshui's resources can only be given to the Dongshui caravan, and the others who are against Dongshui will not be left." Looking at the four of them, Chen Chen couldn't help but increase the intensity of his voice, his eyes were full of determination, if these four can't take it, then it will be trouble in the future.

Poinsettia glanced back at the three of them, and the gray-clothed old man walked up slowly: "Old Zhu has been in charge of the pawnshop in the West Neighborhood for three years, and the prince is right, the caravan supported by the imperial court is naturally extraordinary." Drunken Dream Building was originally a lot behind the four of us, but now it is developing rapidly, it can be seen that the support of the prince is obvious, old decay, if the four of us join Dongshui, how will the prince support the four of us? ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Chen was also in trouble, this old man was very shrewd, and he gave the ball to himself at once, if the support was small, they could refuse it openly, if the strength was too great, I am afraid it would be difficult to control it in the future, and Chen Chen had no idea for a while.

The four of them also had a relaxed expression on their faces at the moment, and they were not in a hurry, they all waited quietly for Chen Chen's words.

"Isn't the four of you wanting the support of Drunken Dream Building?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the four of them with a smile.

Poinsettia had a happy face, and the four of them all looked at each other excitedly, obviously this strength seemed to be what they wanted, or they never dared to ask for.

Looking at the silent four, Chen Chen was slightly happy: "Zuimenglou is the joint property of Benwang and Mother Ye, so you naturally have to pay special attention to your own business." If the four of you want to get the same strength, then you have to see if you are sincere? ”

"You want to control and participate in our business? This is absolutely not a no-go? When Poinsettia heard this, she hurriedly vetoed it, and the fool could hear what the prince meant.

"The king of your business does not participate, and the king is too lazy to take care of your decision-making, but the king of your industry must control 25 percent." As soon as Chen Chen saw that his intentions had been recognized, he also directly and readily put forward his opinions.

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were startled, and shook their heads fiercely to resolutely oppose Chen Chen's idea, Zhu Sannian stabilized his mind and said: "The prince lion opened his mouth, we will not accept it, even if the prince does not support us, we will still have the support of other countries." ”

"Okay, let's go and see what country and region have the same level of support for business as Dongshui? Other countries are heavy on agriculture and over commerce, and you are just the money bags of the emperor and the nobles. Chen Chen disdainfully used this condition to negotiate with himself? Now the initiative is up to you.

Looking at the slightly hesitant expressions of the four people, Chen Chen added: "Oh, it's really unfortunate, this king knows some of the production methods of rouge gouache, such as perfume, incense, toilet water and facial cleanser, and knows more about the production of lipstick, plum and forehead prints." (Forehead seal: an ornament used to decorate the forehead of an ancient woman)

As soon as these words came out, Poinsettia's eyes were hot, staring at Chen Chen deadly, eager to eat him alive.

"The wine in Yanyun Restaurant is delicious, but do you have new varieties such as Daughter Red, Osmanthus Wine, Luzhou Laojiao and Taibai Liquor? Unfortunately, this king seems to understand a little. ”

"A few days ago, there were a few treasure books in the Dongshui Collection, and the king didn't know what to do with them. The gold necklace is too cheesy, the pearl necklace is very precious, but the natural pearl is difficult to deliver, but it is thought that pearls can also be produced. ”

After Chen Chen finished speaking, he drank the tea by himself, but the four merchants in the imperial capital couldn't be calm, and the four of them hugged together tightly and discussed in a low voice.

"Old Zhu, what do you think?" Poinsettia looked at Zhu Nian and asked with a moving expression.

Zhu Sannian also sighed: "To be honest, these things he has are indeed what we need the most, if we have these methods and technologies, we can produce new products, but the conditions are a little harsh." ”

Boss Qian frowned: "It's a bit harsh, but the prince can build a new shop with these technologies, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will face a business opponent with the support of Dongshui's national strength and army, and it will be difficult to do at that time, what do you think, lady." Boss Qian looked at Poinsettia and nodded slightly.

Poinsettia thought for a while and said, "In that case, we might as well join Dongshui and agree to the prince's request." I'm afraid we won't have a good time if we don't join, sell a favor, so that our business can continue to be inherited. Didn't the prince just say it? He reached an agreement with Nanzhao that if we had the support of Dongshui, our business would be better in Nanzhao, and maybe even further development with the help of Dongshui. ”

"That being said, but what if we get caught? After all, he is a prince, and we are just businessmen. The owner of Yanyun Restaurant said softly for a long time, and for a while, the four of them fell into your silence.

"Four, this is the agreement drawn up by this king, you can take a look, and when the time comes, everyone will have one, if this king loses his trust, then you can immediately announce the world." Chen Chen is proficient in martial arts, naturally deaf and clear-sighted, and after listening to a few words of conversation, he struck them while the iron was hot and gave them a tranquilizer.
