Chapter 389: A Gamble

Jin Zhenglei listened to Song Qi's words, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a low and cold voice: "General Song, your eloquence is indeed very good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoGeneral Mingyu is a hero of the Chen State, and Ximen Liu generously donated money to our army, and he is also a hero of my Chen State. How can I help one party kill the other? It's not my style! ā€

Bi Fuan took another step forward, kowtowed, pointed at Song Qi and said: "Song Qi is so bold, he smashed the words "a generation of righteous businessmen" that the marshal gave to Ximen Gong in his hand, and there is no marshal in his eyes at all!" ā€

When Jin Zhenglei heard this, his face sank, he glared at Song Qi, and reprimanded: "Song Qi, you are not small!" Do you still have Ben Shuai in your eyes? ā€

"I smashed this word! It's none of Song Qi's business! Mingyu stepped forward and admitted.

"No matter who smashed it, you two are not small!" Jin Zhenglei sneered, and then ordered left and right: "Come on, lock these two people up for me, and think about them behind closed doors!" ā€

"Yes!" Several wolf-like forbidden soldiers rushed up.

"Wait!" Ling Xue took a step forward, stretched out her hands to stop her, and said, "Marshal, I was also present when they had a dispute. The marshal wrote a few 'generation of righteous businessmen' to Ximenliu, and he must have hoped that he would do just and legal things. However, Simon Liu's words were pasted on the door of the marshal, but he secretly did illegal and unrighteous things inside, and his actions ran counter to these words, and insulted the good intentions of the marshal to give the words. So Mingyu accidentally smashed this word, not Mingyu's fault, but Ximen Liu's fault, because he didn't deserve the title of these words at all. ā€

"You smashed other people's words, but it's their fault?" Kim Jong-lei was amused by her words.

When Princess Tancheng heard this, she also smiled, laughing so much that tears overflowed her eyes. After laughing, she looked at Kim Jong-lei with a sideways smile and suggested: "I think both sides are at fault in this matter." It is better to let them repay the merit with merit and offset it with fault. ā€

Kim Zhenglei was puzzled, so he turned his head and looked at Princess Chengcheng with puzzled eyes.

Princess Cheng smiled and said, "Since both sides have contributed to Chen Guo, and they are both heroes of Chen Guo, they will not be punished." When both sides kidnap each other's people, they exchange them for people, and the kidnapped people go to their own side. ā€

Jin Zhenglei praised the princess's suggestion, turned his head to the two sides, and said in a serious tone: "Ximen Liu tied up Ming Zhu'an, and Song Qi also tied up Ximen Yun." This is offset by both sides. Now that both sides have let each other's people go, the dispute will be settled, and neither side will have to cause trouble in the future! ā€

"Marshal wise!" Bi Fuan praised.

Judging by Kim Jong-lei's attitude, he wants to put this matter aside. Song Qitie's face was blue, and he said angrily: "Marshal, this matter can't end like this!" ā€

"What else do you have to say?" Jin Zhenglei squinted at Song Qi, his face sank.

Song Qi pointed at Bi Fu'an with his finger and said sharply: "Even if what this gentleman said just now is right, Ximen Liu is the second largest shareholder of Mingzhu Firm, and now that Mingyu, the heir of the major shareholder, is back, Mingzhu Firm should naturally be owned by the major shareholder." ā€

Kim Jong-lei listened, touched his chin with his hand, looked at this, looked at that, it seemed difficult to choose.

Princess Chengcheng said softly: "General Song is reasonable, the Mingzhu business should be returned to Mingyu. ā€

Kim Jong-lei's head leaned towards the princess and whispered, "I also know that he has a point." However, Ximen Liu donated more than 10 million taels of silver to our army, and I can't deal with him as soon as I enter Duo'an City. ā€

Princess E's eyebrows furrowed slightly, thought for a moment, smiled, and said in a low voice: "It's better to let them both gamble, Mingzhu business is owned by the winner." Then he whispered in Kim Jong-lei's ear.

Kim Jong-lei's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and smiled, "That's a good idea!" ā€

The people standing below didn't know what the two of them were muttering, but when they saw Kim Zhenglei smiling, they all looked at each other so abruptly.

Military advisor Cen Ying stepped forward with a spring breeze on his face and asked, "Marshal, I don't know what a good idea is?" ā€

Jin Zhenglei smiled at Cen Ying and said matter-of-factly: "A gamble, bet on which of them is talented!" Then he looked at Mingyu and Ximen Yun with his eyes, and said slowly: "The two of you, one is the daughter of Mingzhu Firm, and the other is the son of Ximen Firm, you should both have great business talents. I want to arrange a bet for you to compare who is more capable. Whoever wins, the Mingzhu firm will belong to whomever it is, and on the other hand, there is nothing to say. You can agree. ā€

Mingyu pursed the corners of his lips and asked, "I wonder how the marshal wants us to gamble?" ā€

Jin Zhenglei frowned, with a slightly melancholy look, and said: "Our army has just entered the city, and the people who defend the country will inevitably be a little panicked, and the market will inevitably be a little depressed. That's a headache for me. I would like to temporarily divide the market in Duo'an City into three pieces according to the scale of business, you and Ximen Yun are each responsible for one piece, and the other is still in charge of Duo'an Mansion Yin. I give you a month during which you can guide the merchants in the blocks for which you are responsible, as you wish. After a month, whoever is in charge of the block has a good business and a high tax payment will win. ā€

"I agree!" Mingyu agreed without thinking.

Kim Jong-lei added meaningfully: "Your business has to be compared with the third block that Doan Fu Yin is responsible for, and if the business of your two blocks is not as good as the third block, then the assets of the Ming Zhu firm will be taken over to Doan Province." Do you hear me? ā€

The so-called ownership of Doan is owned by Kim Jong Lei. Could it be that this Kim Jong-lei also wants to meddle in the Mingzhu firm? Song Qi glanced at Kim Jonglei and saw a faint smug smile on his face.

If you want to say that Kim Jong-lei is selfish, no one dares to say so, after all, his idea is magnificent. For Mingyu, this is a good opportunity to regain the lost assets without fighting and killing, and relying only on peaceful means. It doesn't matter if you lose, anyway, the Mingzhu business fell into the hands of Ximen Liu, and looking at the attitude of Kim Zhenglei at both ends of the first rat, it is unlikely that he will be taken back from Ximen Liu by force. In any case, this gamble is beneficial to Mingyu.

Mingyu glanced at Song Qi, and when she saw the latter nodding to her secretly, she readily agreed: "I heard clearly." I'm willing to gamble! ā€

And for Ximenyun, this is a gamble without profit. Now, Ming Zhu's business name is equivalent to his family's property. It's not enough to defeat Mingyu alone, but also to win over Duo'an Mansion, which is equivalent to competing with the business acumen of the entire country. Take your own family's property as a bet, and gamble with two families, whether you win or lose, you will lose.

Ximen Yun glanced at Mingyu and then at Jin Zhenglei, but he didn't agree.

"Master Ximen, don't you dare to compete with Mingyu?" Kim Zhenglei's eyes swept over Ximenyun, and there was seven points of seriousness in his tone, and another three points of ridicule. (To be continued.) )
