After much consideration, Li Chen decided to contact Lao Immortal first. First of all, his store is located near the junction of the east and west of the city. Relatively close to the east of the city, this is considered the sphere of influence of the old immortal, and it is not compatible with Niu Laosan.

Niu Laosan should have crossed the line this time, although he didn't know who set this range. But no matter what, he is very close to the old immortal, rather than the old and the third committee of the cow, it is better to directly find the old immortal.

If he went to beg Niu Laosan, he couldn't get Niu San at once, but when the time came, he made Lao Immortal angry and sent someone to trouble him, then he was empty, and he didn't think Niu Laosan would come to help him. In this case, simply offend Niu Laosan, and you will be offended to the end. But it is not pleasant to meet the old immortal.

The next day, the splashes still came. Niu Laosan also came, but he shook off and left, as if he had come to inspect his own industry.

And on this day, the situation deteriorated. Those splashes still disturbed the customers and did not dare to go to the door, and then the distilled spirits business, and the sales volume also declined. Those wealthy servants are not afraid of these splashes, but ordinary guests are afraid of ah.

When many customers come to buy wine, they are driven away by those splashes, which makes many people hesitate. This led to a decline in sales.

Li Chen saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. No matter how hard it is, and he doesn't want to get the third thing about Niu Lao, Li Chen sent an application to Lao Immortal for a meeting. There is a certain casino in the east of the city, which is an old immortal industry, and if you want to see him, just go and tell the person in charge of the casino.

Lao Immortal reacted very quickly, on the fourth day of the restaurant's opening, and on the third day when Niu Laosan appeared in the store, Li Chen saw Lao Immortal in the small room of the casino.

Old and immortal, the age is actually not that old. It is said that he is a man in his forties, but he is pampered, and it is not impossible to say that he is thirty. The surname Lao Dan has a cloth character, and it is called Lao Bu. He happened to be four again, so he was called Lao Busi, and the homonym is that he is old and immortal.

'Forget the bastard, two are not three, not four. Li Chen muttered in a low voice, because he was not happy to meet with the old immortal, so he cursed in a low voice The two people who are not three or four are not dead, isn't it the old immortal and the third cow?

When he saw Old Immortal in a room in the casino, he was playing with birds..., and he was teasing the bird with a birdcage in his hand, and he was whistling from time to time.

There was an older old man next to him. When Li Chen came in, the old man didn't look at Li Chen, it was all the old man talking.

'What are you doing here?' The old man asked angrily, "Chen has opened a new wine shop, and now he is here to visit the head of the company." ’

'You're late. The old man scolded, "I should have come to visit the head of the meeting before the opening." How can it come after it opens? ’

'Please forgive me, I didn't know the rules before. ''Do you know how to pay?'' I was scolding just now, and now I mention the money to be paid, and I feel that the previous scolding is just to pave the way for this sentence. However, scolding is also Li Chen's own tone of the old man, and the tone of the sentence just now is no different from the other sentences.

'Brought, brought. Li Chen took out a piece of paper, this is flying money. Everyone knows that flying money is similar to getting a silver ticket or a check in the future, in this case, its function is not only to exchange between the two places, but also to let people pick up the ticket after you store it in the cabinet.

Even, not with a ticket, but with a certain token, with the token, you can go and withdraw money. If you have read the legends and texts of the Tang Dynasty, you can see that sometimes the protagonist will run into a nobleman, and the nobleman will take out something and let the protagonist go where to get the money, that's it.

As for what money is, it is not the kind of money that will be used in later generations, nor is it money remitted. Rather, it was given to the guild dues. In the Tang Dynasty, there were already 220 lines of one saying. And the guild has a president, and he is called the head of the guild.

What does the head of the line have to do with the money? Because of the role of the head of the bank, in addition to the responsibility of inspecting and supervising the economic activities of the bank's merchants, they will also have the responsibility of presiding over the daily life of the bank's merchants, such as Buddhist activities or festivals, and they will participate in many local activities. In this case, of course, if you want money, then it will be called money.

"Okay, for the sake of Li Langjun's new entry into the industry, he doesn't know the rules of the industry, so forget it this time." After receiving the certificate, the old man said, "Li Langjun can go, a certain generation of my master, welcome Li Langjun to enter the industry." ’

At the head of the line, this is the old immortal entrenchment in the east of the city. In addition to Li Chende's liquor shop, he also has the head of many guilds, such as the charcoal shop, the head shop, the pig iron, the meat, the grinding shop, and the fruit shop, anyway, there are hundreds of guilds in the east of the city, and he has dozens of guilds to be the head.

God knows why he became the leader of these guilds, and he did anyway. He relied on the head of the line to gain power, took control of the east of the city, and became the hegemon of the east of the city. Although it can't be said that he has completely mastered it, Chengdong has done a lot of work for him.

'A certain courage to ask the head of the line again, about the bullying of a certain hotel, I don't know if I can ask the head of the line to come forward. And just gone? The wine shop is in charge, whether you care about it or not, you have to give an explanation, so Li Chen boldly asked, "My wine shop has not been open for a long time, and there are evil men and scoundrels who come to harass me every day, and I don't know if I can ask the head of the bank to come and negotiate." ’

'About that. If someone maliciously disrupts the normal business of the bank, the head of the bank will naturally have to manage it. At this moment, Li Chen's anger towards the old man's urn, and the old immortal's bastard who hadn't looked at him since he entered the door, all disappeared, and he thought to himself, he finally joined in vain.

'But... Li Chen's good mood didn't last long, all kinds of things, bad in this but or but.

However, since the trouble you got into before joining the guild, the head of the guild needs to think more about whether or not to intervene. After all, joining a guild is free, but if everyone wants to join when they need it, and quit when they don't, thinking that they can get guild protection by paying a little money. ’

The old man thought to himself, there is no such good thing in the world. After listening to the old man's words, Li Chen scolded wildly in his heart, what do you mean before, after, simply put, you don't want to do things after receiving money.

'How to speak, you here. At this time, I had been playing with birds just now, and suddenly spoke, "Since we have joined, we are all members of the guild, and we should help each other if we are in trouble." Li Chen didn't say anything, nor was he happy, this thief must not have finished speaking.

"But, Li Langjun, although this dead old man's words are rough, they are also reasonable, and I don't want to interfere like this." It's not reasonable. Sure enough, as soon as the conversation changed, the old immortal figure appeared.

'That's it, I want to come to Li Langjun's new hotel, and I encounter such a thing, how about Lao sponsoring Li Langjun. Grass, it turns out that this is also the same thought, that is, I want a piece of the pie.

Regarding the old immortality, Li Chen was a little embarrassed for a while. Basically, he felt that he could consider bringing in a partner. After all, the profit of distilled liquor is too great, and it is not impossible to eat alone, but he has not yet gained the strength to eat alone.

But he was worried that Lao Immortal was going to be the same as Niu Laosan, and he was going to serve the pot even if he was going to do it. It's just that he's going to go step by step.

Please let Li think about it for a day or two, this business is not a business for a certain person, and you have to discuss it with someone. 'Very good, Li Langjun doesn't have to worry about refusal, what will happen to Lao, buying and buying is not benevolent, there will always be opportunities for cooperation in the future." There is no need to rush it either. After speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and Li Chen understood that he had to leave.

On the way back, Li Chen thought for a while and decided to accept the invitation to cooperate. The first thing you have to consider is the one in front, he is being targeted now, but he hasn't protected his strength yet. Secondly, Xuzhou has convenient water and land transportation, and the Grand Canal flows through it in the south, if he cooperates with a powerful partner, he plans to see if he can open up the trade route and sell Zui Hongchen to other cities, so that he can only earn more.

However, definitely not now. First of all, he didn't know how much sincerity he had in Old Immortal, and secondly, even if he was full of sincerity. But now that he needs to solve the problem by not dying old, he will still have a much weaker price. Even if he really cooperates sincerely, the initiative is not in his hands.

'What to do?' After Li Chen thought about it, if he didn't solve Niu Laosan, it would be difficult for him to cooperate with Lao Immortal with peace of mind. However, if he can solve Niu San by himself, why should he go to find Lao Immortal.

(Wait, I remember.) Li Chen suddenly remembered some information, some news that Ergou had come back from investigation. That's about the old immortal and the third cow, and the four coquettish things.

Regarding the third and fourth rankings, Lao Immortal doesn't care on the surface, and many times it is Niu Laosan who speaks by himself. The old immortal doesn't respond.

He is not like Niu Laosan, who wants his subordinates to call him Niu Sange, and always proclaims that he is the third of the four coquettish. But it's definitely not that he doesn't care, Lao Immortal always calls himself Lao San in private.

It's okay to say that he can do three, the brother in front of it before is dead..., so he is unceremoniously called himself Lao San, and he also wants people to call him Lao Busan. Who is this aimed at, it's really a flea on the top of the bald head, at a glance.

These news were all inquired about by Ergou. Ear Dog is really talented in inquiring about information. Although these messages are not private, the insiders are also his relatives and friends, so even if the confidentiality is not high, the ability to successfully detect these messages also represents Ergou's ability.

(Perhaps, it is possible to make a fuss about this.) Li Chen suddenly had a little idea.
