Chapter 160: Preliminary Victory
Chen Yuan took the roster and read the first name on it: "Xiao Yuanfeng,"
The porter immediately said: "This person is the official in charge of Yanjing's storage warehouse, and he has the right to check all materials entering and leaving Yanjing." Our lord asked me to tell you, this person is the wife and nephew of Lord Yelurenxian, if Master Chen doesn't want to have more contact with him, our lord can come forward and settle him, but you don't offend him. ”
Chen Yuan's red and swollen face distorted again, and then looked at them one by one, some of the names seemed to be seen by himself, and some of them looked very unfamiliar.
In the end, there were the fifteen people who didn't hit the red dot, Chen Yuan suddenly found that Song Qi's name was actually on it, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he pointed to Song Qi's name and asked the concierge: "What did your master invite him to do?" ”
The porter smiled and said, "This person is coming by himself, and our master didn't invite him." Let me explain to you, this Song man has been very active recently, and whenever there is a party, he basically insists on attending, and our master really didn't invite him, but if he refuses, it's not very suitable. ”
Chen Yuan glanced at Wang Lun, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Wang Lun's mouth, and he said softly: "This straw bale!" ”
Obviously, Song Qi already felt that he was forced to a dead end by Li Yuanhao, especially that day at the gate of the city, after Li Yuanhao personally went up to pull Yelu Lingling into the city, it was tantamount to announcing to everyone that he was going to marry the princess of Liao, and his actions and his suitability satisfied the vanity of the Khitan people.
After Li Yuanhao blatantly attacked Song Qi on the street, although the Khitans admired his courage, they also felt that this move was a bit contemptuous of the Liao State. In the past few days, some so-called masters often went to Li Yuanhao to challenge, but they were all beaten up.
At a time when the men of the Liao Kingdom were feeling that they couldn't save face and couldn't get off the stage, watching a heroic person like Li Yuanhao lead a horse for their princess, I felt a lot more comfortable.
Similarly, Li Yuanhao's gentle and elegant appearance when he led the horse for Yelu also changed his image of barbarism in the hearts of the Liao people.
All of Song Qi's achievements were invisibly resolved by Li Yuanhao's moves, and Song Qi understood that if he couldn't stop this marriage, then the alliance between the Liao State and the party would become an ironclad fact.
Chen Yuan put down the roster, he could already remember all the names on it, whether he knew it or not: "Are all the people here?" ”
The porter replied: "No, this is not the time yet, and the two masters are not too late." ”
Chen Yuan nodded and pulled Wang Lun over: "Brother Wang, let's go in together." Today, we are half masters, and we can't wait for everyone else to arrive before we go in. ”
There were already a lot of people sitting in the room, about thirty of them, Chen Yuan had just entered the door, and Xiao Suli greeted him very warmly: "Shopkeeper Chen, shopkeeper Wang, the two of you are just here, come, let me introduce a few friends to you to know, this is Xiao Hu, the shopkeeper of our largest rice shop in Yanjing, the shopkeeper of Xiao." ”
A very fat guy got up from the ground, and the horizontal meat on his face smiled: "The two shopkeepers, fortunately, will be happy, less than two, after the opening of your store, I have a lot of respect for the two, but I have never had the opportunity to meet, today Boss Xiao has a treat, it is really a wish to come true, and today I will drink two more glasses." ”
Chen Yuan and Wang Lun also returned the salute, and then followed Xiao Suli to the next position, where he was indeed a middle-aged man, and he didn't look like he was doing business.
The man's two eyes looked at Chen Yuan deeply, and the corners of his mouth hung a smile that seemed to be very mechanical, Xiao Suli hadn't introduced it yet, he stood up by himself: "In Xia Zhang Li, just come to Boss Xiao to have a good time, the two of you don't have to talk to Zai Xia about doing business, if you go back and where you can eat and drink for nothing, you might as well bring it with you." ”
It turned out that he was Zhang Li, the biggest Han official in Liao. Chen Yuan's gaze tried to penetrate the red and swollen eyelids, looked up and down, and then clenched his fists and said: "It turned out to be Lord Zhang, the subordinate Chen Shimei, I didn't see Lord Zhang in the court twice, please don't blame the rudeness." ”
Zhang Li waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say that, I am just a diner today." ”
Xiao Suli smiled: "If Lord Zhang has no food to eat, he can come to my house to eat every day, I will definitely have no problem here, but I am afraid that others will be jealous, so I will take the adult away halfway." ”
After finishing speaking, he confessed to Zhang Li, and took Chen Yuan to the next seat.
This seat needs not be introduced, it is Song Qi with a sad face. The expression on Song Qi's face fully explained his current predicament, Chen Yuan greeted him politely, and nodded to Yang Yi, the deaf and dumb guard standing behind Song Qi.
To be fair, Song Qi is indeed a little smart, but his methods are too right, and he has always wanted to defeat the party members above the court of Liao, which may be the consequence of his insistence on the so-called gentleman's way.
Li Yuanhao is different, as soon as he comes up, he plays cards uneasily, first hits Song Qi's reputation, and then uses the princess to get closer to the relationship between the party and the Khitan. It can be said that Li Yuanhao gave full play to all his advantages, and Song Qi still insisted on the way of a gentleman, and the competition between them had actually divided the winners and losers, and the rest was just a matter of how many days Song Qi could stay.
Song Qi sat next to Zhang Li, his purpose was self-evident, but looking at Zhang Li's eyes, he always dodged Song Qi.
Standing behind Song Qi was the deaf and dumb guard Yang Yi. Chen Yuan still has a good impression of this person, Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at Yang Yi, and nodded slightly. Yang Yi smiled, and the two of them also said hello.
Xiao Suli didn't stay in front of Song Qi for long, and soon Chen Yuan and Wang Lun introduced the next table: "Shopkeeper Chen, this is the general in charge of the Great Liao Heavy Warehouse, Xiao Yuanfeng Lord Xiao, in the future, there are still many places where we have to rely on Lord Xiao." ”
When Chen Yuan was about to salute, Xiao Yuanfeng smiled: "This is Chen Tongshi, right?" In fact, there is no need for anyone to introduce it, your face is now a signboard in Yanjing, who doesn't know that there is a general matter who was beaten into a pig's head by Shu Bao? Hahaha. ”
The corners of Xiao Suli's mouth moved twice, and he was about to say something to relieve Chen Yuan, but he didn't expect Chen Yuan to say it himself: "I said that there were some conflicts with Shu Bao Gongzi, which is not shy to be hidden in the next, and it doesn't hurt if Lord Xiao makes fun of him, but please wait until the business is said, after all, most of the people here are here to ask for money, and it is the same in the next." ”
After speaking, Chen Yuan looked around: "Everyone, we pay attention to harmony and wealth in trading, so if anyone else wants to laugh at the next two sentences, I have absolutely no opinion here, I just hope to put this mood after we talk about good things, otherwise it will not be impossible to get along with the next place, but it will not be able to get along with money." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanfeng really didn't say anything, but Xiao Hu laughed: "Shopkeeper Chen is so right, we can't get along with anyone, but we can't get along with money!" Haha, let's do it, since Shopkeeper Chen said here, everyone should be here, let's make things clear now. ”
Xiao Suli smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Why are you still so anxious?" Wouldn't it be okay to drink and talk about it later? ”
Xiao Hu waved his hand: "Who hasn't drunk alcohol?" To be honest with you, I'm here to watch you make money, and I want to make a share too! Shopkeeper Chen, since you invited us over, there should be an explanation, let's talk about it now. ”
There were many people next to him who immediately chimed in, asking Chen Yuan and them to explain things clearly now. Seeing these people's anxious looks, Chen Yuan smiled in his heart, and became more confident about his financing plan.
Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't say anything, Xiao Suli knew that he was waiting for him to explain, because of Yanjing, Xiao Suli's credibility was far greater than Chen Yuan's.
He turned around and took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, since you can't wait, let's talk about it now." This transaction was made by me, Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Chen. Dissatisfied with you, at the beginning, we didn't expect to make so much money, so we didn't say hello to you, where we offended, today I ask for wine to make amends, and I hope you will bear with me. ”
That Xiao Hu slapped his thigh: "Are you okay with your mother-in-law?" Don't talk about the past, just tell me what you plan to do in the future! With such a big field, do you plan to dominate it all the time? ”
Xiao Suli said: "Don't worry, we are all businessmen, we have wealth together, we make money together, we still understand this rule." ”
This sentence calmed down the emotions of those people a little, since they are ready to share the cake, then wait patiently, and the question of how much and how little can be discussed slowly.
Xiao Suli thought for a while: "We thought about giving up part of the market to other businesses to do, but it was very inappropriate to think about it in a blink of an eye, because although it was not our family alone, there were many people here who could not share the profits, so in the end, the three of us agreed that it would be relatively fair to let you pay for it." ”
A businessman next to him immediately stood up: "If we join the gang, how will we calculate the division in the future?" ”
Xiao Suli looked at Chen Yuan, the meaning was very clear, and now it was time for Chen Yuan to speak.
Chen Yuan took a step in the middle: "Everyone, my initial idea is to divide it in two ways, one is to raise it according to the profit, settle it every six months, and distribute the dividends according to the proportion of the capital contribution. If my business loses, you will lose money too. Of course, I believe that I will not lose money, at least from the situation of more than this month, this money is very stable. If you are not at ease, there is a second way, you can lend me the money, and I will give you 10% interest every month. It has nothing to do with you if you lose or earn. The choice is yours. ”
After saying this, the people began to discuss with the person next to them. Chen Yuan's cake is obviously not what they expected, the first way is what those businessmen like to choose the most, although there are risks, but the profits are also large.
For a long time, they have already predicted the gross profit of the goods bank, and if the business can maintain the current level in the future, the monthly income will definitely be more than one percent of the profit.
And the second way is obviously for those powerful officials, the profit of one percent per month, if Chen Yuan is left untouched, it can be doubled in seven months, Chen Yuan is indeed more generous than these people think.
When they discussed, Chen Yuan didn't speak, but just exchanged a few glances with Xiao Suli. After a while, someone finally said, "What else do we have to say about Shopkeeper Chen's doing this?" I am willing to invest in the next unit and share the risk, but I don't know how high the threshold is? ”
Chen Yuan stretched out a finger: "Entering the house, at least 10,000 yuan, and there is no restriction on investing money in." We can accept it if we have less, and we can't hold up our goods store if there is more. ”
Xiao Hu wanted to say something more, but Chen Yuan immediately waved at him, signaling that he still had something to say: "All friends who have joined the gang can go to our cargo store at any time to check the goods and open the account book." It can also make suggestions on our business problems, of course, it is our business to adopt or not. ”
Xiao Hu shook his head: "Okay, then we can rest assured, but you won't make a fake account to fool us, right?" ”
Xiao Suli was very unhappy when he said this, he had been in Yanjing for so many years for a long time, and he didn't even have this reputation? was about to reprimand Xiao Hu for two sentences, but Chen Yuan said first: "Purchase, shipment, there is definitely an account to check." But the so-called brothers settle accounts, in order for everyone to not quarrel in the future, we have already expected what Shopkeeper Xiao is worried about, so there is more than one chair in my account room. In addition to our own bookkeepers, you can also ask people to come in, but we don't care about their wages. ”
Xiao Hu laughed: "That's the best!" Originally, I thought that there was going to be a quarrel today, but I didn't expect a few people to be so righteous, but it seems that we are a lot more stingy. In this way, when I come back to drink, I will definitely have two more drinks with Shopkeeper Chen, and I will make amends. If you have anything else to say, just say it! As soon as this matter is over, my appetite is still open, and I really feel a little hungry. ”
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the financing matter had a smooth beginning, although it was said that the instructions for those who entered the house were settled in half a year. But Chen Yuan plans to settle the accounts with them next month, so that they can see the return immediately, so that the eyes of those who have not yet joined the gang will turn red immediately!
Is 10% interest a month scary? It takes seven months to get the capital back. But after two or three months at most, if they want to get the money, they have to go to Da Song to find themselves!
Have fun tonight, and when you cry.
Chen Yuan's eyes swept around the people whose expressions were extremely excited, and finally fell on Xiao Yuanfeng's body.
Xiao Yuanfeng was obviously pondering something at this time. This kind of expression Chen Yuan often sees, it is the kind of regret that he sees money flying in front of his eyes, but he doesn't have the ability to grasp it.
