Chapter 12: Extortion

Lü Buwei, a native of Puyang, the country.

His father, Lu Gong, was just a small merchant in the countryside, in modern terms, he was a rich man, opened a few textile workshops, made some money, and the family had no worries about food and clothing.

Lü Buwei is a businessman, and his talent for business is rare through the ages. He showed extraordinary business talent at the age of the weak crown, and his father Lu Gong praised him very much, so he handed over the workshop to him to take care of. He was not willing to be lonely, and was determined to build the Lu family trading company into a businessman in the world.

In fact, he did. In more than 20 years, the Lu family trading company became one of the most famous merchants in the world at that time, second only to the Chu Guoyi Dun clan, Wei Guobai clan, Qi Guotian clan, Zhao Guozhuo clan and Qin Guoqing Lady These five famous merchants at that time were famous in the world. These five major businesses have accumulated for hundreds of years and hundreds of years of history to have such financial resources.

In just over 20 years, the Lu family has become a large merchant second only to the five major merchants, and it is a miracle that its rise is as fast as a rocket.

The reason why Lü Buwei was successful was that he pursued the four-word "strange goods can be lived", whenever he found something good, he would live in it with strange goods, and then sell it at a high price, often making a huge profit.

This is also the case for the purchase of the country.

He met Qin Yiren in the Plains Monarch's Mansion, Qin Yiren was still his predecessor at that time, and he was being used as a punching bag, and he was humiliated by the Plains Monarch. Lu Buwei immediately decided that Qin Yiren was the strange goods he was looking for, or the kind of strange goods that he might not be able to encounter in his life, and if he used it properly, the profits would be incalculable.

After sending someone to inquire clearly, he became more confident, thinking that he would definitely make Qin Yiren succumb, obey his arrangement, become a puppet in his hands, and be at his mercy. Once the purchase is successful, Lui's Trading Company will become the largest merchant in the world.

What made him extremely depressed was that the progress of things was far beyond his expectations, Qin Yiren actually regarded him as a strange commodity, and he was living in this strange commodity, ready to get enough benefits from him.

This kind of thing, Lü Buwei must not accept it, and decided to think of another way, if Qin Yiren does not bow to him and does not become a marionette in his hands, he must not do the thing of buying a country.

The idea must be that Lu Buwei took out ten gold, put it on the short case, and said, "Please also ask the son to smile!" ”

Ten gold, for ordinary people, is an astronomical amount of wealth, and it is unattainable. However, for Qin Yiren, the prince and grandson, it was an insult, Qin Yiren rolled his eyes, and before he could attack, he only heard Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, and Hei Bo and they angrily reprimanded: "Lu Buwei, you are so bold, you dare to insult your son!" ”

If you accept ten gold from others, it is an extremely shameful thing, who can bear it?

Even Mo'er was angry.

"That being the case, Lü Buwei took his leave." Lu Buwei took back the ten golds, clasped his fists at Qin Yiren, and turned away.

Looking at Lu Buwei's back, Qin Yiren's eyes shone brightly: "What a profiteer, so treacherous." ”

Qin Yiren's intentions for Lu Buwei were clear, and he was advancing by retreating.

"I'm willing to help you, it's exactly what you need, I'm going to retreat with this hand, I don't believe you don't chase it out." Lü Buwei changed his mind as he walked. If Qin Yiren chases him out, then the initiative will fall into the hands of Lu Buwei, and it will be up to him Lu Buwei to decide.

He made a good calculation, but he miscalculated, and no one chased him out.

"Did I miscalculate?" Lu Buwei was a little surprised, thought about it, and said: "I, Lu Buwei, have not miscalculated, so I don't believe that you won't chase it out." "Deliberately slowed down and waited for Qin Yiren to chase after him.

However, until he walked to the gate of the small courtyard, he didn't see Qin Yiren's shadow, and Lu Buwei was surprised for a while: "This Qin Yiren is not simple, he has such determination." It is already difficult to seek the country, and Qin Yiren is so shrewd, which is even more difficult. ”

After thinking about it, there was another burst of joy: "The more shrewd Qin Yiren is, the better, and he can save me a lot of things." Moreover, once I succeed in seeking the country, my profits will be greater, and it is possible to be crowned king and worship the prime minister. ”

Lü Buwei is well aware of a truth: the more shrewd the person, the greater the benefits after success. If Qin Yiren returned to Qin and became the king of Qin, Lü Buwei would have a lot of benefits. If Qin Yiren goes further, fights the six countries of Shandong, conquers and conquers, and expands the territory, he Lu Buwei will get even greater benefits.

"This must go on!" Lü Buwei's determination was even stronger.

"However, you have to make Qin Yiren give in and obey me first, how should I do this?" Lu Buwei began to change his mind, and he wanted to calculate Qin Yiren.

At this moment, I saw Zhao Ping greet him with a smile on his face and asked, "Sir, how is the harvest?" ”

"There it is!" Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows, immediately had an idea, shook his head, and sighed: "Hey, Mo Ti, Mo Ti." ”

These words aroused Zhao Ping's curiosity, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, how do you say this?" ”

"Not only did he confiscate the old debts, but he lent out a thousand gold. A thousand gold, when will it be recovered? Lu Buwei stepped out of the hospital door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with the support of Ximen's father, he got into the car.

Daddy Simon jumped on the wheel and drove away.

"A thousand gold?" Zhao Ping's eyes were full of greed, and he couldn't stop chattering, and said, "If I can get this thousand gold, how good would it be?" I'm going to have what I want. ”

One thousand gold is not a small amount, and Zhao Ping never dreamed of it in his life.

The problem is that Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, and Fan Tong can fight, while Qin Yiren is as cunning and wise as a fox, and he is not an opponent with this manpower. Knowing that there was a lot of money, but he couldn't get it, Zhao Ping felt like a cat's claw scratching in his heart.

"My lord, this is not difficult." The five red-clothed officials, all with greedy faces, if they got this thousand gold, and gave Zhao Ping the big head, they could also get a lot of benefits. The mind of a red-clothed officer spun quickly and an idea came to mind.

"Say it quickly." Zhao Ping perked up.

The red-clothed official muttered in Zhao Ping's ear: "My lord, our manpower is limited, and we can't subdue Qin Yiren. However, we can find people, and we can find some scoundrels, can't we? ”

"Brilliant plan! Go find someone. Zhao Ping was overjoyed and waved his hand to order.

The red-clothed officer responded and went to work.

It didn't take long for the red-clothed officials to find ten scoundrels in the market, all of whom were arrogant, and at a glance they knew that they were not good people.

"I have called you here today for a job to be done for you." Zhao Ping carried the sword on his shoulder, his face was gloomy, and he said: "After the matter is completed, one person has one gold." ”

"One gold?" For the scoundrels in the market, a gold is also a lot of money, and they are all happy.

"But remember, if anyone doesn't do their best, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhao Ping threatened loudly, and his voice was as loud as thunder.

"I would like to listen to my lordship!" Since ancient times, the people do not fight with the officials, the market scoundrels are also the people, Zhao Ping is a small official and an official, and ten market scoundrels speak in unison.

"Take the guy and come with me!" Zhao Ping waved his hand, led a few of his subordinates and ten scoundrels, and rushed towards the small courtyard with a hulala.

"Qin Yiren, we have new hatreds and old hatreds together!" Zhao Ping's face was full of red light, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his face was hideous.
