Lin Feng ignored everyone's reactions and spoke loudly about the consequences of vicious competition:

"After the initial growth, the number of customers in each market will remain at a basically fixed level; However, there will always be people who want to stand out, and will take the lead in adopting a low-price strategy or the method of slandering others, trying to trample others down so that they can rise up.

But in reality, no one will sit idly by and fight back with the same means. If this continues, there will inevitably be all kinds of fakes and deceive customers, and slowly, everyone's reputation will stink in the hearts of the people, and if there is a newer market, everyone will immediately throw us aside......"

"Master Lin, we can all think of what you said, so what do you say?" An unusually rough-looking wealthy merchant stood up and said loudly.

Lin Feng raised the cup in his hand at the rich businessman, and said loudly: "As Lin said just now, there are two ways to solve the problem, one is for everyone to set up an industry association to jointly formulate the guidelines and norms that everyone should abide by in their business, not vicious competition, no mutual attack, mutual benefit, and go hand in hand; One is to cooperate with everyone to expand the market outward, and build our market to the whole territory of Datang and the big cities in the world! ”

Before the words fell, the scene was already boiling, and many people shouted at the same time: "Industry association, what do you mean?" "How do you build it all over the world?" Isn't that just talking? ”

"Everyone, be quiet!" Lin Feng raised his voice and suppressed the noise at the scene.

Lin Feng pointed in the direction of the west and said with a smile: "Let me tell you a great news in advance!" In the past two days, the Ma clan of Chu State will bring his clan to surrender, and the vast world roughly equal to the territory of my Datang is waiting for us to develop, waiting for us to build a supermarket! ”

Boom, this news suddenly blew up the people present.

Regarding the arrival of the Chu State, there has been a faint news in Jinling City in the past two days, but this news has been confirmed by the parties for the first time. For those who do business, adding another Chu market is a great opportunity! No one spoke at the scene, only the panting sound was heard getting thicker and heavier.

"Lord Lin, is the state of Chu really surrendering instead of being a vassal?" Zhong Fan was the first to ask. After all, the Zhong family is a relative of the royal family, and they are more well-informed.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

Chen Shengqian immediately stood up, stared at Lin Feng in surprise and said, "Lord Lin, haven't you been to the Chu Kingdom in the past few months?" Isn't it all your work? "During Chen Shengqian's family gathering in the past two days, he heard that Chen Jun, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, had lamented Lin Feng's luck, and he also knew some vague news.

"Can't say that! It should be said that it is the joint credit of His Royal Highness the Ninth of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Ren, the envoy of the Wuchang Festival, Liu Envoy, and the 20,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they just led everyone to win a few battles! Lin Feng said lightly.

Wow! An irrepressible exclamation sounded in the banquet, and the eyes that looked at Lin Feng were even more envious and fearful. The rich businessmen who questioned Lin Feng just now couldn't help but tremble.

The great power has come to descend, this is the unparalleled earth-shaking achievement since the founding of the Tang Dynasty! The blind man should also know that Lin Feng, who has been going smoothly all the time, has reached a higher level.

Feng Zhikuan immediately got up, raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "Come, big guys, let's toast Lord Lin with a glass of wine!" I wish Lord Lin to soar and rise step by step! ”

No one would not respond to this proposal, and the banquet was full of toasts of "Congratulations to Lord Lin" for a while.

Lin Feng drank all the wine in the cup and continued: "Today's saint is working hard and forging ahead, my Datang national strength is changing with each passing day, and the indisputable fact is in front of us, not only a Chu country, there will inevitably be a larger territory and a larger market waiting for us in the future, let us toast for the prosperity of Datang together!" ”

Drinking another glass of wine, the atmosphere of the scene was even more lively, and the wealthy businessman who looked rough just now hurriedly brought a glass of wine over, begging Lin Feng to forgive his faux pas, and respectfully asking this Lord Lin to set up a charter for the industry association.

Sycophants! Although the other people present were scolding this rich businessman in their hearts, they all put on a deaf look when they looked at Lin Feng. Although everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp, compared with Lin Feng, a proud saint in front of the red man, it is necessary to remain humble and low-key!

Lin Feng was looking for such a shocking effect, and then said: "The charter is still the principle of openness, transparency, and fairness that Lin Feng has always adhered to, and the specific charter and measures will be discussed by everyone here. ”

Subsequently, in the attention of the people at the scene, Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and division is defeat. First, Lin hopes that everyone in Jinling City will no longer engage in malicious competition, do not engage in ultra-low price strategies, and do not slander opponents in private, and other large supermarkets are allowed to appear in the city! ”

If these ideas can be implemented, of course, it is in the interests of the shareholders and wealthy businessmen on the scene, and naturally no one will mention anything in person.

"Second, to tell the truth, the world is so big, just talking about the territory of our Tang Dynasty and Chu State, with the strength of any of us here, we don't have the ability to swallow the entire market in one bite! Lin suggested that everyone join hands and discuss a joint investment method of equity participation, so that everyone can participate, no longer enemies, all become friends, and then work together to promote the national construction of supermarkets, everyone can make easy money together, and then based on supermarkets, joint ventures will be banking, transportation and other projects to the whole world, and gradually control the world's business, I don't know what everyone thinks? ”

Lin Feng finally threw out the main purpose of convening the industry meeting today, that is, to strive to build a capital kingdom, take the supermarket as the breakthrough point, and use commercial means to sweep the world through economic operation control!

"Lord Lin is far-sighted, so bold, so big! Our Zhong family agrees! Zhong Fan took the lead in the case. Zhong Fan had already admired Lin Feng very much when he cooperated with Lin Feng to build a supermarket and Datang New Village, and they built a market with their own funds to envy the prosperity of the supermarket, and now they were suddenly led by Lin Feng to a more brilliant prospect, and the first one couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Many people at the scene were also like Zhong Fan, their faces were flushed, and their eyes were shining, as if they saw the bright prospect of everyone raising their eyebrows and making business all over the world.

"Ideals can be ambitious, but reality must be steady. Lin suggested that everyone start to discuss carefully after dinner......" Before Lin Feng finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a guard of King Zheng's Mansion walked into Li Yu's ear and said two words under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Li Yu got up in surprise, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Feng, and announced loudly: "The whole Ma clan of the Chu State has arrived, and the fleet is anchored by the river!" The Holy Commander ordered King Qi, the Ministry of Rites You Jianyan, and Mr. Lin and I to receive and resettle! ”

The exact news of the arrival of the Chu State suddenly made many wealthy businessmen rise up and be extremely happy.

Lin Feng smiled and waved his fists at everyone, and followed Li Yu out in a hurry.

However, what Lin Feng didn't know was that after they left, a group of wealthy businessmen who were excited discussed from noon to late at night, and finally made an industry development agreement.

This agreement was called the "Mingcuilou Agreement" in later generations according to Lin Feng's habitual naming method. Later, the "Mingcuilou Agreement", the "Yihan Alliance", and the "Free Navigation Agreement" formulated thereafter, were called the "three hidden weapons" of the Tang Dynasty by later historians.
