After the heavy rain, the weather quickly improved, and the sky was clear and cloudless. It's just that with this heavy rain, the weather seems to have become a lot colder, and the summer seems to have passed completely, and it is late autumn all of a sudden.

On this day, the capital is particularly lively, and countless people gather in front of a three-story small building in the morning, which is not an unusual thing in the richest east city of the capital. Many interested people know that this must be a new one, but the pomp of this one is obviously much larger.

The gongs and drums are noisy, the firecrackers are roaring, and the eight lions are constantly flipping and jumping, which is very attractive to people's attention. In addition to the lion dance, there are also a variety of juggling, which seems to be very lively.

People want to squeeze to the front to see which business this is, and there is such a big show. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and it is not for nothing that there is a big show, but there are not many who can have such a big show. I can't see anything just by squeezing to the front, and the plaque at the door is covered with red silk, and I can't see anything.

There were a lot of people gathered in the teahouse opposite, and everyone was pointing and talking about it, obviously very curious. In the private room on one side, a young man folded a fan in his hand, dressed in white, and looked like a god of wind and jade. From time to time, he gently shook the folding fan in his hand, and said something to the entourage on the side.

At the door of the private room, there stood a dozen guards with knives, which made it intimidating for those who wanted to get close to it. The whole floor seemed to be a lot colder, and everyone lowered their voices for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Inside the private room, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the lively scene outside, nodded with a smile, and said to Wang Chengen on the side: "This time the matter is done well, I can see that I am very attentive, I don't know who you are looking for this time?" ”

"The emperor's kindness to the Wang family, the Wang family can't repay it endlessly, and the slaves and maids will naturally do their best. This time, the person the slave and maid were looking for was called Wang Li, who was originally a businessman, and the slave and maid inspected everyone in the Wang family, and this person was the most suitable! Receiving the appreciation of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang Chengen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly flattered.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a smile on his face, and then asked: "I am not worried about the matter of ability, with the backing of the Longchang firm, if it is not done well, it will be a strange thing." I just want to know, is this person reliable, and what is his relationship with you? ”

Wang Chengen also understood in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this Wang Li is the cousin of the slave, and he is naturally reliable." "I can't stop thinking in my heart, I must tell Wang Li that I must be careful in my actions.

At this time, the following was once again complicated, the crowd kept separating, and Xiao Er, who was standing on the steps, kept shouting: "Jiangnan Zhao's silk and satin line Zhao shopkeeper has arrived!" Yangzhou brocade village Chen shopkeeper arrived! Boss Zhang of the Beijing Shengju Gambling House has arrived! ”

Seeing the people below continue to enter, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded again, glanced back at Wang Chengen, and asked, "These people are all rich businessmen, are they all invited?" ”

"Back to the emperor, very few of them were invited by Longchang Firm, and most of them came by themselves. Nowadays, Longchang is the largest business in the world, and since taking over the salt business in Jiangnan, the tide is rising, and there are many businesses that want to cooperate with Longchang business. Wang Chengen bowed down, with a flattering smile on his face, and said in a respectful tone.

Gently closing the paper fan in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse turned around with a smile, turned back to Wang Chengen and said, "Let's go!" Let's go down and have a look, and go in and join in the fun. ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Wang Chengen naturally knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not just a matter of joining in the fun, and there must be something else going in this time, so he didn't say a word of advice, and respectfully led the way in front.

When the group came to the door, the person who greeted the door seemed to know Wang Chengen, and did not shout but respectfully welcomed the Emperor of the Apocalypse inside. didn't stop on the first floor, went directly to the private room on the second floor, ordered the maid on the side to wait, and then retired.

Looking at the layout in the private room, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that I have used it in my heart, Wang Chengen, this cousin of yours is good." Tell him to work hard, and I won't treat your royal family badly. ”

"The emperor's grace, slaves and maids will die hard, and doing things for the emperor is naturally dedicated!" Wang Chengen is still humble, with a grateful smile on his face, which seems to be from the heart.

As soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat down, there was silence below, and a man in his fifties walked to the platform that had already been set up. With a smile on his face, he arched his hand to the people below, and said loudly: "Wang Li, the shopkeeper of the contemptible Longchang firm, thanks to your face, I am very grateful to be able to come to the Longchang firm!" ”

Some of the people here know Wang Li, and most of them still don't, but none of them show a difference on their faces. The proprietor of the Longchang firm has always been a mystery, and all those who show their faces outside regard themselves as shopkeepers, which everyone present knows.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was looking Wang Li up and down at this time, he was in his fifties, with a harmless smile on his face, looking like a rich man. It's just that his eyes opened and closed with a jingguang in his eyes, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that this person must not be simple, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"I heard that Longchang Firm has a big deal this time, and I also want to come to see it, since the shopkeeper Wang has come out, then don't let me wait, say it and see it!" I don't know if it's arranged, as soon as Wang Li's words fell, someone below spoke.

Seeing one person speak, many people opened their mouths to echo, and the atmosphere suddenly became much better.

Stretched out his hands and pressed them, signaling everyone to be quieter, Wang Li continued: "Don't be impatient, you will naturally let everyone know today that this is not only a big business for Longchang Firm, but also something that is beneficial to everyone." If you want to know, go out with me first to unveil the plaque, and everyone will understand! ”

Although I felt a little troublesome, no one had an impatient look on their faces, and Longchang was not a place where anyone could go wild. Everyone gathered around Wang Li to the door, someone had already prepared the ribbon, as long as it was gently pulled, the red silk on the plaque would fall to the ground.

Looking at everyone with a smile, Wang Li said loudly: "Everyone, this is the business of our Longchang firm that is about to spread all over the country!" As he spoke, he tried to pull the red silk apart with all his might.

When everyone heard Wang Li say this, they all watched with bated breath, and some even wore a little worry on their faces. Longchang has a deep background, and hopes that it is not an industry operated by itself, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

With the downstairs of the red se silk, the four big characters on the plaque were suddenly revealed, and the four big characters of "Longchang ticket number" made people look a little inexplicable, what kind of business is this ticket number? Some people's brains reflect relatively quickly, is it because they are making a meeting ticket?

Looking at everyone's puzzled gods, Wang Li waited for the sound of firecrackers to disappear, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, the tea leaves of the business have already been prepared inside, let's talk about the world while tasting tea!" By the way, let Wang tell you what our Longchang ticket number does! ”

Seeing that it was not a conflict with their own business, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said this to the people around them, and walked back to the house again.

Wang Li stepped onto the stage again and said with a smile: "What you are now sending to you is the business of Longchang ticket number, wait a minute, Wang will explain it to you one by one, now you can take a look first!" ”

Each of the few servants had a stack of papers in their hands, and they were handed out to everyone who was doing it one by one, and the private room upstairs was no exception.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse took the paper, smiled and nodded, this is exactly what he wrote, but it has already been moistened, and now the font is beautiful and the words are easy to understand. Of course, in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this is not easy to understand, but even more incomprehensible.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now Wang will tell you about the first business of the Ping An ticket number, which is to save money! You can save the cash at home to the Longchang ticket number, exchange it for a paper silver ticket, and you can pick it up whenever you want. Of course, this is to collect money, one hundred taels of silver, Longchang firm charges one tael of silver, and the storage time is one year. Wang Li looked at the people below with a smile, with a smile on his face, and said confidently.

After seeing the paper just now, everyone already understood, and when they heard Wang Li say this, they all shook their heads. One hundred taels of silver will cost one tael of silver for a year, I have it in my own house, why should I put it in Longchang business?

Seeing that everyone was like this, Wang Li said with a smile: "If this is the case, I'm afraid no one will deposit the silver in the Longchang ticket number, and Wang, the shopkeeper, will not have to do it." So Wang will tell you about the second article, Longchang business will be all over the Ming Dynasty. South to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, north to all parts of Liaodong, east to South Zhili, west to Datong, all have the branch of Longchang ticket number. You have exchanged the silver for silver tickets in the capital, and the silver tickets can be withdrawn in various places in the Longchang ticket number! ”

This time the frying pan is underneath, and everyone has a shock on their faces, these people are doing business all over the world, and carrying silver has always been a big problem. It's inconvenient to carry and easy to lose, and there's no way to do it. Although there are tickets, they are only used in various places, and they are really used in the Ming Dynasty, of course, it is not possible.

If the Longchang ticket number is all over the place, it is really convenient for too many people, and the most important thing is that the Longchang business has a deep background and a good reputation, and you can rest assured that it exists here!

"Shopkeeper Wang, I have deposited the silver in it, is the silver still mine? You won't have any trouble getting it, right? A person had a heart in his eyes, but he seemed to be a little hesitant, and asked first.

Arching his hand to the people below, Wang Li said with a smile: "You can rest assured that this silver ticket is bearer, and the Longchang ticket number only recognizes the silver ticket, not the person!" ”
