Next, all the shops in the metropolitan area opened their doors, and business basically returned to normal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Song Qi felt some confidence regained in his heart.

But the Yukang firm still closed its doors. This gave Song Qi a headache. Without the cooperation of Yukang Firm, this gambling game may be very small to win against Simon Firm. Because the transaction volume of Yukang Firm accounts for nearly a quarter of the total transaction volume of the entire Dumen District. Without this quarter, how can it be compared to Gyeonggi District?

Song Qi walked and watched the streets of Dumen District with mixed feelings.

Mingyu walked beside him, looking around happily, her two pretty eyebrows fully stretched. She doesn't seem to have Song Qi's emotions of gaining and losing. This gambling game is not all for Mingyu, it is gratifying to win, and it is not sad to lose. The important thing is to have participated, paid, and worked hard.

But Song Qi is fighting for face, for honor, for a breath in his heart, and for victory. He cares more about the result than the process.

Xingben Shanming, Zhu An, Mao Yong, and Feng Dan walked behind Song Qi.

"Benshan, I wonder if the owner of the Yukang firm has returned?" Song Qi looked around as he swam forward and asked Xing Benshan.

"General Song, Rao Yukang hasn't come back yet, because if he comes back, he will definitely go to the district office to pay a return visit to the lower officials. It's called coming and not being rude. Xing Benshan took a step forward and replied affirmatively.

Song Qi believed in Xing Benshan's words, after all, Xing Benshan was the district commander of Dumen District and Rao Yukang's parents. No matter how thick Rao Yukang's arms are, he can't twist Xing Benshan's thighs. Lord Ou Ling came to visit in person, and he was a grass farmer - although he was rich, he was still a grass farmer after all, so why didn't he pay a return visit?

"Is Rao Yukang really not coming back?" Feng Dan said excitedly in a suspicious tone next to Xing Benshan, "Maybe he heard that we were gambling with Ximen Firm, and he deliberately hid and didn't do business. ”

Song Qi thought to himself, Feng Dan had witnessed the betrayal of the Yi family's firm, and it was natural for him to speculate in this direction.

"yes." Mao Yong nodded and said angrily, "Now that everyone is open to do business, what does it mean that Yukang doesn't open the door to do business?" I think they deliberately demolished our platform! ”

"Rao Yukang's relationship with his grandfather for more than 20 years, he shouldn't have done such an outrageous thing." Ming Zhuan shook his head and said in disbelief, "Maybe he really hasn't come back to avoid the military disaster!" ”

"What is a relationship of more than 20 years? Yi Guangtai, the owner of Chen Guoyi's firm, and my father have been in a relationship for 30 years, and they betrayed when they said betrayal, and they also united with other businesses to deal with us. Mingyu's tone was agitated and angry.

"There is such a thing?" Ming Zhuan was stunned when he heard this. It seems that he has not heard of the joint attack of the Chen Guoyi firm and the Mi firm against the Ming Zhu firm.

"General Song, do you want us to go to Yukang Firm again! If Rao Yukang dares to deceive this official - the lower official will definitely not be able to spare him! When Xingbenshan heard this, his face was white and red for a while, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, but it was fleeting, everyone was walking, their eyes were looking forward, and they didn't notice the change in Xingbenshan's eyes and face at this moment.

"Forget it!" Song Qi pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said, "Let's gamble with Ximen Yun, and we can't completely count on Yukang Firm. Of course, it is okay to have him participate, but without him to participate, won't we continue to gamble? If Yukang does not open the door to do business, it is he who loses! ”

"So what are we going to do next?" The punishment is good.

"What to do?" Song Qi glanced at the shops on the street and said categorically, "We can only find a way to attract the people from inside and outside the city to our Dumen District, so that many small businesses can make their business bigger!" ”

"Then General Song has thought of a way?" Xing Benshan took a step forward and asked with a smile.

"There must be a way." Song Qi said in a calm tone, and glanced back at everyone, "I'm still thinking." You can also think about it. ”

"Good!" Everyone said yes and began to figure out how to do it.

"Ordinary people like to watch the excitement the most. Let's find a way to hold some lively activities in Dumen District to attract people to come and see. Ming Zhu'an said thoughtfully, he followed behind Mingyu with his waist bent, holding a cane in his hand.

Song Qi heard this, his heart moved, he hurriedly stopped, gave Ming Zhuan a thumbs up, and praised with a smile: "In the end, ginger is old and spicy!" Then he said to everyone, "After being reminded by Uncle An, I have thought of a good way!" ”

"What's the solution?" Mingyu turned to look at Song Qi and asked with concern.

"Carnival!" Song Qi smiled mysteriously.

"Carnival?" No one understands this word.

This is a trade secret, and Song Qi certainly can't explain it on the street.

After returning to Song Mingling, Song Qi explained his thinking to everyone in detail, he wanted to hold a grand parade, and all the people on the parade were dressed as clowns, from the district office of Dumen District to the east gate.

Everyone was very excited when they heard it, and they praised it for being wonderful. Mingyu smiled like a flower, and said happily: "Brother Song, this carnival will definitely attract people from Quanduo'an Mansion to our Dumen District." ”

The next morning, the sky was crisp and sunny.

The gongs and drums in front of the district of Dumen District are noisy, the sheng flute is ringing in unison, the voices of people are boiling, and it is very lively.

A team of various clowns assembles from here. Some of these clowns have colorful faces, some have long noses like noses, and some have a red apple glued to the tip of their noses; Some wear all sorts of quirky masks, some wear tall hats, and some walk on stilts. Dressed in a variety of colorful and bizarre costumes, they wave balloons or colorful flags inflated with colored cloth in their hands.

The clowns stood there, but they didn't stop for a moment. They were bouncing and giggling, making all sorts of exaggerated expressions on their faces, making the hundreds of people around them laugh.

Where have these ordinary people seen such a grand event? This is an activity that can only be seen by their descendants in the eighties, and now because of Song Qi, they feast their eyes in advance.

"Wow, that's beautiful! What is this activity? ”

"Didn't you see the banner pulled by those two clowns who looked like ducklings, which read, 'Dumen District Carnival Large-scale Parade'!"

"What is Carnival?"

"That's it!"

The common people chatted happily.

One to ten, ten to hundred, hundreds to thousands, thousands to thousands.

The surrounding people saw that there was so much excitement in front of the yamen, and they didn't know what was going on, so they all came over to watch it driven by curiosity.

The Dumen District Commander Xing Benshan was wearing a grand official robe, standing in front of the clown, looking particularly incongruous, and this point made people laugh.

"The large-scale parade of the Carnival in Dumen District starts now!" Xingbenzen waved his hand to the ugly duckling holding the banner in his hand and shouted excitedly, his voice drowned out by the loud and cheerful drum music and the noisy hum.

Two ugly ducklings, one in a yellow plush suit and the other in a coloured suit, holding a banner in their hands, moved their duck flippers and walked forward.

The procession slowly crossed the main street of the Dumen district and marched towards the east gate. They were not quiet when they were cruising, jumping and hopping, giggling and laughing, as if they had no liver or lungs, no worries, and endless happiness.

All the shops opened their doors and stood at the door nervously watching the endless stream of customers with smiles on their faces.

Thousands of people rushed to the streets of the parade, happily following the mad clowns... (To be continued.) )
