After Li Yibai signed the contract with these tea merchants, he asked Xue Jiade to count them, there were a total of 80 merchants, and one did not come. That merchant's name is Wednesday, and it is a hardcore member of Long Wuye.
'Nancheng wants to monopolize all the families, and there can be no less family, I must unify Nancheng in order to realize my dream of finally changing the Great Song Dynasty step by step." ’
Lu Zhishen said, "Big brother, this is easy to do, my knife is on his neck, see if he agrees." ’
Li Yibai waved his hand, "We can't be so violent, we have to convince people with virtue and let them join our Chamber of Commerce sincerely." Since he doesn't agree, then we will use commercial means to bring him to his knees. ’
A tea merchant said, 'Wednesday is the most powerful of our tea merchants, he owns 20 shops, many tea farmers in Zhejiang and Zhejiang know him, and he has been selling tea for 20 years. And he will never betray Long Wuye, he has a lifelong friendship with Long Wuye's father. ’
Li Yibai nodded, "You all go back first, and if you encounter any trouble, come to me." ’
Many tea merchants nodded and walked out of the room
Fifth Master Long walked around the room, very anxious.
At this time, the black dragon ran in.
'Black Dragon, have the killers and Yangzhou's Black Dragon Army been transferred? Fifth Master Long asked.
The black dragon said with a heavy face. 'Fifth Master. The killer is dead. The Black Dragon Army came over with two hundred people. ’
'Dead. Long Wuye flicked his sleeves. 'How did you die?' ’
The black dragon said, 'He came by boat, but he accidentally fell into the water and drowned. ’
'Ahh Long Wuye's anger was like thunder, but then he calmed down.
'Calm, calm, my dad always taught me to be composed, to be calm. It seems that God will not let me use the killing machine. However, our Chamber of Commerce is strong. There is no need to worry about dealing with Li Yibai.
How many assets does Li Yibai have now, have you counted them? ’
Heilong arched his hand and said, "The subordinates have investigated clearly, Li Yibai has all the rice shops in Nancheng, all the silk villages, and the antique shops, and all the assets add up to about 300,000 taels of silver, even if he has the rest of the money in his hand, it is estimated that the total will not exceed 500,000 taels of silver." ’
Long Wuye smiled faintly, "He only has 500,000 taels of assets, and he dares to shout at me directly." Why was he so bold? ’
The black dragon continued, "It may be that his wife is strong in martial arts. gave him courage, or he didn't know how powerful Fifth Master Long was. ’
Fifth Master Long smiled and said, "Okay, let's not use force this time, I'll see how he uses his wife to beat us." Let's go to war with him first. Tell me, how many assets we still have in the South City. ’
Heilong said, "Tea merchant, just Wednesday is with us, the other iron shops, salt shops, paper shops, etc. are still ours, and Li Yibai has not touched it yet." However, Li Yibai said that he wanted to monopolize everything in Nancheng. Looks like he's determined to eat us. ’
It's so bold. I have been in business since I was three years old, and although I am only sixteen years old now, I am also a big businessman with thirteen years of experience. He is white, just because he also wants to eat me, what a big joke. Fifth Master Long slammed his sleeve hard.
'You listen to my commands. Immediately go to see all the tea farmers in Liangzhejiang, use all means to buy or intimidate them, and they must not be allowed to sell tea to Li Yibai casually. Then we hoarded some tea in the market and had a tea war with him, and I saw that the chambers of commerce that followed him would last a few days. ’
The black dragon arched his hand and said, 'Yes. Master. I'll do it. ’
The black dragon took the explanation of the fifth master of the dragon and sent the order down overnight. The Longwu Chamber of Commerce is huge and powerful, and soon this order will reach the tea farmers.
These tea farmers have been dealing with the Longwu Chamber of Commerce for decades, and of course they trust them. In giving benefits, the tea farmers listened to the words of the Longwu Chamber of Commerce.
After three days, many of the men reported to the tea merchants in the southern city,
'Shopkeeper, we can't get the goods. The tea farmers in Liangzhejiang heard that we were not from the Longwu Chamber of Commerce, so they stopped supplying them. ’
When the tea merchants heard the news, they were furious. In the Song Dynasty, tea consumption was huge, second only to table salt. Because the ancients regarded tea as a good medicine for diseases, and the ancients ate meat, they had to rely on tea to scrape the oil. Tea is also the coffee of the literati, who need tea to refresh themselves when writing articles and reading.
The tea merchants were talking, 'What can I do about this, it seems that Long Wuye is going crazy.' Alas. The power of the fifth master of the dragon is too huge. There is a big battle between him and Li Yibai after all. I guess this is just the beginning. ’
"Then what can we do, naturally follow Li Yibai, and this matter will be solved by Li Yibai." ’
So everyone rushed to Li Yibai's house to report the matter to Li Yibai.
Li Yibai smiled faintly and said, "Don't be impatient, don't worry. This is a small matter. ’
Many tea merchants shouted one after another.
It's not a trivial matter. Now that the tea farmers don't ship to us, we will sit and eat empty, and autumn is coming soon, and as soon as autumn arrives, the merchants of the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia will come to sell tea, and then our biggest profit of the year will come. I hope to make money from this resale for a year. If we don't make money this time today, the year will be in vain. ’
Li Yibai was puzzled, "So, both Xixia and Jin Guo bought tea from you. ’
The tea merchants said, 'That's right, we buy tea from tea farmers and sell it to them.' They buy the most and only buy one at a time, so this deal of theirs is especially important to us. ’
Li Yibai smiled, "All the shopkeepers, don't worry." Three days later, you will ship the goods from my base, where do I have the tea that you can't finish, and the packaging is still very good, ensuring that the people of Xixia and Jin will like it. ’
The tea merchants were puzzled. There will be a base. But I've never seen where Li Yibai buys goods from. But naturally, Li Yibai said so. They couldn't say anything, so they had to go back first.
After they left, Li Yibai said to Lu Zhishen and Xiaoqiang, "Let's go, let's go to the streets first, take a look at the other situations in Nancheng, and then buy all the merchants at once." ’
Xiaoqing heard Li Yibai say that he was going shopping, and he was elated. 'Young master, I'll go too, I'll go too. ’
Li Yibai smiled, he hadn't taken Xiaoqing out to play for a long time, and now that his wives were not at home, he had time to accompany Xiaoqing. Sometimes I think that only the time before not getting married is the most.
'Okay. Take you along. ’
With that, the three of them walked down the street of Nancheng.
Passers-by on the street saw Li Yibai and gave up their hands.
'Li Xie Yuan is good. Li Xie Yuan is good. ’
Li Yibai smiled faintly and replied modestly, "Hello." Hello. ’
Walking to Wednesday's tea shop, a few people walked out of the tea shop. Several people gathered around a young man in white.
'Fifth master, he is Li Yibai. ’
It turned out that this young man in white was the fifth master of Long.
Long Wuye's immature face made no one think that he was a big businessman, Long Wuye. Usually he lives in seclusion. Shenlong saw the head but did not see the tail, and no one knew what he looked like. This time he was in order to deal with Li Yibai. personally went out to comfort Wednesday, which happened to bump into Li Yibai at the door of Wednesday's store.
'You are Li Yibai?' Fifth Master Long stepped forward and asked.
'Are you?' Li Yibai said disdainfully.
Long Wuye said arrogantly, "I am Long Wu, and everyone in the rivers and lakes has given me a face and called me Long Wuye." ’
Li Yibai smiled, "Little brother." You are so young, you just mix the rivers and lakes, do business, and don't study well, how bad is this. ’
Fifth Master Long pointed at Li Yibai and said, "You dare to be so unreasonable to me." What are you capable of? ’
Li Yibai smiled faintly and said, "I am a new science and technology Xie Yuan, I have a meritorious reputation, although my business achievements are not too big, but I am a barbarian like you." ’
Long Wuye's atmosphere was endless, 'you' He wanted to start beating Li Yibai, but he was stopped by his subordinates.
The young master was calm. The young master was calm. ’
Long Wuye also felt that he was in a bad state just now. That's right, I should be calm. My father taught me that when facing a strong enemy, the more calm you are. As long as you are calm enough, you can win everything. ’
Long Wuye regained his stable emotional state and continued, "Li Yibai, listen well, if you change your ways now, admit your mistakes, follow me, and join the Long Wu Chamber of Commerce, I promise that I will not be guilty of the past, and I will also give you a senior position in the Chamber of Commerce." What do you think. ’
Li Yibai looked up to the sky and laughed, "Little hairy boy, you are too arrogant. I naturally dare to rob your business, and the person who robs you is clearly going to work against you and compete with you, how can I join your chamber of commerce, don't be whimsical. ’
Long Wuye lost his temper again, and flicked his sleeves, "You." Do you know what I'm capable of? I roared, and the whole Liangzhe trembled three times. ’
Li Yibai continued to laugh, "Little hairy boy, you are so ridiculous, you just said that you want to be calm, and before I can say a word, you will be angry again." Just like you, you can still shake three times. I said, "When I roar, the earth will tremble." ’
Lu Zhishen on the side asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what is the earth." ’
Li Yibai said,''
Fifth Master Long's subordinates also persuaded Fifth Master Long one after another, 'Young Master, don't get angry, be calm, calm down.' You yourself said that you would not be angry, and you commanded us to persuade you. ’
Long Wu continued to recover his emotions, "Li Yibai, I can buy the entire Lin'an, you know?" My silver can be piled up as high as the mountains of West Lake. You are not afraid that I will stone you to death with silver. I advise you not to touch the stones with eggs, and it will be too late to regret them. You only have 500,000 taels of silver, and you can't fight me at all. ’
At this time, some passers-by watched around the two. They also talked a lot.
'The strength of Long Wu is really terrifying, I know it. The family had hundreds of large ships and often sold tea and silk to Europa and other places. ’
'Alas. Why did Li Xie Yuan offend him. This fifth dragon master can't afford to offend. I'm really worried that Li Jieyuan will lose. ’
'yes. Li Jieyuan is a good person, if he loses, who will bring benefits to the people of our southern city.
