Chapter 118: Before the Storm
The cicadas chirp and the forest becomes quieter.
Wei Qiao walked to the pavilion close to Li Xiluan's small building, a strange smile flashed in his eyes, and he sat down alone.
The evening breeze is blowing, and the sound of summer cicadas that have been tired for a day is still the same. Wei Qiao didn't bring wine, took a folding fan, and sat there quietly.
Wei Qiao sat in the gazebo unhurriedly, folding the fan and swaying lightly, leisurely.
- He knew that Li Xiluan would definitely know that he was waiting for her here.
It didn't take long for Li Xiluan, who was tightly wrapped, to come over with a plate and smoke Nana.
walked in, caught a glimpse of Wei Qiao's leisurely appearance, put down the plate and said with a slightly red face: "Uncle, why don't you go to my living room?" ”
Wei Qiao folded the fan, watched her white jade hand take out the wine jug, three stacks of side dishes, and said with a smile: "It's cool here, it's relatively quiet." ”
Li Xiluan glanced at him, sat down opposite him, poured a glass of wine, and said softly: "Uncle, is there something wrong?" ”
Wei Qiao looked at her with a smile, feeling a little annoyed by the previous 'recklessness'.
Wei Qiao picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Well, the money has been released today." ”
This Li Xiluan already knew, she looked up, her eyes were moving, and she tapped her head.
Wei Qiao told the general situation of the conversation between the two, and after listening to it, Li Xiluan frowned lightly and said, "It seems that the money shopkeeper is quite anxious to enter Jinling. ”
Wei Qiao nodded and said, "Well, I've endured it for a year, and I guess I can't bear it anymore at this time." ”
Li Xiluan's pretty face was deep, and said: "Well, next year, I plan to concentrate all the strength of my family to make cotton clothes for the forbidden army, so that I do have some spare strength, you can try it." Moreover, the seventh brother's side can go next, and the Wei family can't all pounce on the cloth. ”
This coincides with Wei Qiao, and said with a smile: "Well, you can consider letting Seventh Brother start a few signboards first, or you can use the Wei family's sales channels to publicize it, which can be regarded as another way to make money." ”
Li Xiluan chuckled and nodded, "Is there anything else?" ”
Wei Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, yes, I'll let you put the money to introduce you to a few shopkeepers in Jinlingdong." ”
Li Xiluan was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face became strange. Jinling East, that is the territory of the Chen family.
Li Xiluan's pretty face was puzzled: "Uncle, are you going to let me dig the corner of the Chen family?" ”
Wei Qiao shook his head with a smile and said, "The corner is so easy to dig, the east side is under the control of the Chen family, unless you don't want to betray the Chen family." What I mean is purely to block the Chen family and distract them. ”
Naturally, Wei Qiao didn't say half a sentence, that is, to make preliminary preparations for the annexation of the Chen family in the future.
Li Xiluan glanced at him coquettishly, and said with a smile: "Well, I know." ”
Wei Qiao saw that Li Xiluan listened to it, nodded indifferently, took out an iron plate from his arms, handed it over and said: "Well, this is the iron plate for the production of cotton clothes outside the gate, with him, you can contact the household department directly." ”
Li Xiluan's face was full of shock, she stretched out her jade hand and took it, holding it in the palm of her hand, only to feel that the tentacles were cold, but her heart was pounding and jumping.
Wei Qiao told her that she didn't really care in her heart, but at this moment, holding this cold iron card in her hand, her delicate body trembled, her cherry lips were pursed, and her eyes looked at Wei Qiao in shock.
Wei Qiao smiled, got up, walked over, picked her up, sat down, and put it on her lap in her pretty eyes.
Hugging his slender waist, Wei Qiao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, isn't there anything still with me?" ”
Li Xiluan's heart was pounding, and her delicate body was even hotter.
This iron plaque is absolutely significant. This kind of thing has always been circulating in the hands of the Imperial Merchants, and even the most dilapidated Imperial Merchants are a level higher than ordinary merchants like them in the eyes of others.
Obtaining this kind of thing is completely a tiger's mouth, and the consequences are unimaginable!
Li Xiluan also forgot to sit on Wei Qiao's lap now, looked at Wei Qiao with a suspicious face, and said, "Uncle, that adult, can you press it down?" ”
Wei Qiao knew what she meant, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, since he can give it to me, I'm not afraid of others making trouble." If he was really afraid, he wouldn't give this to me. ”
When Li Xiluan heard this, his pretty face calmed down a little, Wei Qiao was right, after all, those imperial businessmen were looking for trouble, and the first one to find was the person who gave them the iron card.
Li Xiluan patted his undulating breasts, and suddenly said, "Uncle, can we finish these two things?" ”
There are tens of thousands of forbidden troops, and although the outside of the customs is supplemented, the cotton clothes outside the customs are different from those inside the customs, and the working time is longer.
Li Xiluan is now nervous and confused, and this question was actually asked to Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao looked at her with a smile, Li Xiluan was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face turned red, but her heart was certain, she thought secretly, and then frowned and said: "If it is the cotton clothes of the forbidden army, we will sacrifice part of the business, which is more than enough, but if we add those outside the customs, it is estimated that we will have to give up a lot, and it is likely that Chongzhou will also give up half." ”
Wei Qiao listened quietly, laughing without saying a word.
Li Xiluan felt the warmth of Wei Qiao's thighs, and knew that it was impossible to let Wei Qiao go. But after all, the two have agreed for life, and it is not the first time, although Li Xiluan's heart is pounding, she didn't open her mouth to let Wei Qiao let her go.
Li Xiluan thought for a while, her eyebrows became more and more frowned, and she said softly: "If you give up most of Chongzhou, it will not be easy to get it back." ”
Weiqiao beauty is in her arms, the folding fan is gently shaken, and her heart is very comfortable. The left hand moved up and down, smooth and delicate, and the surname was soft. However, he also knew that Li Xiluan was thin-skinned, and he didn't dare to go too far, so his hand moved on his lower abdomen.
Li Xiluan's face was slightly red, she held down his hand, looked at Wei Qiao angrily and said, "Uncle! ”
Wei Qiao smiled, leaned over and put down the folding fan, poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said with a low smile: "If you keep me tonight, I will tell you a good way." ”
Li Xiluan's eyes rolled over, and his right hand suddenly pinched the soft flesh on Wei Qiao's waist, and his expression seemed to be smiling.
Wei Qiao shook his head and sighed, lamenting. Daqi is very open now, why is Li Xiluan so conservative?
Wei Qiao hugged her slender waist, bit her ear and whispered, "You can talk to the shopkeepers in the west and give them some soup." ”
Li Xiluan intuitively felt that his ears were hot, his delicate body trembled, and he turned his head to look at Wei Qiaoqiao's face and said excitedly: "Yes, this is a good way, after they know it, they will definitely support our Wei family more." ”
Wei Qiao nodded with a smile, and said, "Not only in Jinling West, but also in other places." ”
Li Xiluan nodded with a chuckle and said, "Well, I've already thought about it, I plan to visit some shopkeepers who are still hesitating the night after tomorrow, maybe I can take the opportunity to persuade them to support our Wei family." ”
The day after tomorrow is the Chamber of Commerce, so even if the Chen family knows, they won't have time to react.
Wei Qiao thought for a while, and then said: "It's better not to leak it if it can, the Chen family is very well prepared this time, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface." ”
Li Xiluan leaned on Wei Qiao's shoulder, and his heart was much more stable.
Li Xiluan nodded lightly and said, "Well, people from the Jin Palace's Mansion have been in and out of the Chen family recently, and I checked it, and it is a steward of the Jin Palace, who is responsible for the business outside the palace." ”
A small foreign affairs manager, Wei Qiao is naturally not worried, rubbing Li Xiluan's waist and limbs, faintly fragrant, Wei Qiao said: "The best way to cooperate with Qian Fang is to take a sharing method, that is, how many goods we entrust to Qian Fang, how much he sells, and take a part of it." We are the same, he gives us some goods, no matter how we sell them, as long as we sell them, we can also take a percentage of them. This is the best way for both parties. ”
Li Xiluan's pretty face rubbed and motioned for her to listen.
Wei Qiao said: "Our cooperation is actually unequal, because we have many sales channels, and all shops are connected to the network, and the shops with money are relatively small, and the help for us is limited." Therefore, we are in Suzhou, mainly relying on ourselves, of course, we need money to lay some foundation in the early stage. And in Jinling, we can put his things in the shop, buy as much cloth as you want, or buy as much cloth as you want, or with a discount, buy more and give more... Usually, you can also get a big discount for giving back to old customers......"
Li Xiluan's pretty eyes flashed when she heard this, she has also been in business for a few years, she knows Wei Qiao at a glance, raised her pretty face, looked at Wei Qiao in surprise, and said, "Uncle, these are what you thought of?" ”
When Wei Qiao saw Li Xiluan's admiring, proud and happy look, he smiled proudly and said, "How is it, do you think I am wise and martial, and you will leave me for the night tonight?" ”
Originally, Li Xiluan's heart was full of swelling excitement, and when Wei Qiao said it, he immediately frowned. glared at Wei Qiao extremely charmingly, and then said with a slightly red face: "You, if you want to, aren't there two maids in your house?" ”
Wei Qiao knew that Li Xiluan was thin-skinned, and he was afraid of scaring her away, so he said with a smile: "Then you can tell me about our current situation." ”
Li Xiluan quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she was also a little disappointed.
Li Xiluan sorted out his thoughts, leaned on his shoulder again, and said softly: "In the west of Jinling, most of the shopkeepers have received great favors from their father, so almost all of them support the Wei family, but the shopkeepers in the west are generally weaker. The strength of the Chen family's eastern side is much higher than ours, and it is the strongest among the three. The south usually supports the Chu family, and its strength is about the same as that of the west, but it has the largest number of people, stronger than us and weaker than the Chen family. In the north, it's hard to say, these people come from all over the world, and in the north just to make a fortune. In terms of strength, it is much higher than the people from the east, and the number of people is not fixed, but there are many people who come every time. This time, I think there will be a lot of people. ”
Wei Qiao frowned slightly and said, "Are there no rules for entering the Chamber of Commerce?" For example, how many shops, sales? Also, how is the president chosen? ”
Li Xiluan shook his head lightly and said, "This is there, but it doesn't have to be, as long as most people approve of it, you can come to participate." However, if the strength is small, there is no qualification to speak. The general president of the chamber of commerce is elected, and some of the stronger shopkeepers are selected from the east, west, north and south, and then promoted, but not according to the number of people, but more importantly, the strength of the shopkeeper is generally strong, and the weight of the speech is heavier. The president has a lot of power, he can distribute spheres of influence, and he can also forcibly kick some people out of the Chamber of Commerce, and once they are kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce, they will be jointly sanctioned by the Chamber of Commerce. After all, it has the support of the majority of people, so in the Chamber of Commerce, almost no one dares to offend the president. So, if we lose this time, it will be difficult. ”
Wei Qiao nodded clearly, to put it bluntly, this chamber of commerce is still a tool for the giants above to redistribute benefits.
Wei Qiao also knew that although Li Xiluan was indifferent on the surface, he was actually nervous and helpless in his heart. Wei Qiao hugged her in his arms, rubbed his face against her hair, his eyes flashed coldly, and said softly: "This Chamber of Commerce will be very lively, when the time comes, if I do something that surprises you incomparably, you must be calm and calm." Also, trust me! ”
