226 Fundraising Meeting
Sure enough, it came.
The household department shot, really extraordinary, the person who sent the invitation sticker, is not a small guy, but the official errand of the municipal bureau, the lifeblood of the businessman is in their hands, and they will personally send the post, which dare not answer, and which dare not pay attention to it.
If you don't even have this awareness, then don't mess around in Chang'an.
The corners of Liu Yuan's mouth smiled slightly, it didn't say fundraising, it just said that the industry gathering, be sure to attend, otherwise you will be expelled from the industry association, look at that time, tsk, it's really domineering, the time is set at three o'clock in the afternoon of the day, and I really didn't let you prepare and communicate at all, in case of collusion.
"There is a big brother who is on duty, and he will be there on time." Liu Yuan said with a smile as he put the invitation away.
"Don't dare, don't dare, small one, retire first." Although Liu Yuan's attitude was lukewarm, the officials of the municipal bureau did not dare to make a mistake, so he politely bowed, and then went to inform the next family.
Liu Yuan sat in the carriage of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and the master of the Ministry of Industry was transferred by him, and he was not a simple person at first glance, how could the people from the city bureau not know the way? So the official who sent the post has been holding his tail between his legs, and he has never dared to have a trace of disrespect, and if he changes to another one, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to say.
Interesting!
That's the benefit of privilege.
The location of the party was chosen in the Zuiyue Building in the West Market, at this time the lunch market was almost dispersed, when Liu Yuan attended on time, the Zuiyue Upstairs was crowded, and nearly a hundred shopkeepers of the gold store gathered together, all discussing what to do for a while, after all, what to discuss, many people still don't know.
I've almost arrived at the last one.
Jin Qiaoqiao sat in the restaurant, a little restless, in previous years when the industry gathering, she would be very lively, with the fact that she is the head of the Chang'an Jewelry Industry Association, holding a wine glass everywhere to call friends. The cups are staggered, but today she was a little depressed, and even a little difficult to ride.
In the past, the gathering was an exchange of peers, discussing the future development and dealing with disputes between peers, but this time it was different, this time she had to carry the black pot for the municipal office, this time it was not for the development of the same industry and making money, but to find ways to take out the silver from the pockets of her peers. It is conceivable that those peers who have losses must have a lot of criticism about themselves.
"Shopkeeper Liu, why are you here, come on, come on. There's a place for you here. As soon as Jin Qiaoqiao saw Liu Yuan, her heart moved. smiled charmingly at Liu Yuan immediately. Kindly invited.
I am only responsible for hosting and taking the lead, but the invitation, which person from the city bureau is responsible for, I don't know which one I invited, and now I see Liu Yuan. It's like seeing a treasure, she secretly has an idea in her heart, that is, to put Liu Yuan into the water, because Liu Yuan has Cui's background. It is easy for people to associate him with the government, and then they will put the matter of forcing his peers to donate money on Liu Yuan, and try to get out of the matter as much as possible.
"Shopkeeper Jin, you are wrong." Liu Yuan said with a serious face.
"Oh, wrong?" Jin Qiaoqiao glanced at Liu Yuan, and said with a smile on his face: "I don't know the slave family, where did you say it wrong?" ”
"I have left the business to become a gentleman, although I have been a shopkeeper before, but it has been an old thing." Liu Yuanmian said without changing his face.
Out of business? It's really a businessman, and what are you doing with opening the gold shop opposite the old lady, you really don't have back pain when you stand and talk, and you don't blush when you lie cheekily, Jin Qiaoqiao scolded in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on the surface, and said with a smile: "Oh, then this time is my Chang'an jewelry industry party, I don't know what Xiao Langjun wants to come here?" ”
Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I heard that the golden shopkeeper is beautiful and moving, Liu Mou specially came to see the style, do you believe it?" ”
"Giggles" Jin Qiaoqiao covered her mouth lightly with one hand, and said with a smile: "I don't believe it, the sister of Pingkangfang is white and tender, and she can get out of the water with a pinch, how can Xiao Langjun take a fancy to the remnants of the slave family." ”
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled exaggeratedly, even the two "majestic" on his chest shook up and down, the waves were turbulent, and for a while, the eyes of many people in the restaurant lit up, especially a few old shopkeepers, their eyes were half-squinted, staring, and they were almost drooling.
"It's okay not to believe it, you're right." Liu Yuan said with a sincere face: "I heard that the gold shopkeeper, oh, no, should be called Jin Huishou has a patriotic heart, recently the border is not in a hurry and very worried, specially invited his peers to come to raise funds for the Tang Dynasty, this heart can be seen the sun and the moon, Liu heard about it, deeply moved, so he came to respond to the call of the head of Jinhui." ”
Liu Yuan turned his head to look, as if he had just seen the official history of the Municipal Bureau, and said in surprise: "The golden shopkeeper is thoughtful, and even the master of the Municipal Bureau has been invited to witness, which is really careful." ”
"You" Jin Qiaoqiao's face changed greatly, Liu Yuan splashed over such a big basin of dirty water, and he couldn't say anything, because the people from the city bureau were sitting on the side, jokingly saying that he was ruined, it stands to reason that Liu Yuan should refute this point of view and compliment himself a few more words, but what does he mean by "You are right"? Isn't it just a hint that you are a broken flower and a willow?
Jin Qiaoqiao was so angry that his silver teeth gritted.
Everyone "coaxed" and discussed, and many people stared at Jin Qiaoqiao with angry eyes, and they all had a feeling in their hearts: they were deceived by the woman in front of them.
said what kind of peer gathering, I didn't expect it to be a fundraising conference, even that Liu Yuan knew that Lu Dao wanted to donate, but he didn't know what to wait for, it was obvious that Jin Qiaoqiao, the head of the meeting, deceived himself, and when he saw the official history of sitting in the corner of the wall and drinking wine leisurely, everyone thought that the surname Jin took his peers to open the knife in order to please the government.
Nima, there is no place to put a lot of money, and the government has not said that it wants to donate, so I take the initiative to donate it in order to pat myself on the back? If you want to donate, why don't you donate it yourself.
Liu Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and sat opposite Jin Qiaoqiao with a smile on his face, which made Jin Qiaoqiao so angry that he really wanted to bite him a few times and kick him a few more times.
Although the Golden Jade Supreme also has a backstage, and the backstage is not small, but this businessman's fundraising is secretly sent down by the household, and this is a trivial matter, naturally it is not good to trouble those nobles, there are so many incense, and burning incense once will be one less opportunity to "pray to God and worship Buddha", and I have to endure it after the end.
Although there is still a lot of noise, the number of people is also there.
Jin Qiaoqiao walked up to the officials of the city bureau in full view of everyone, and whispered: "My lord, everyone has gathered, please give a lecture." ”
"Okay." The official was not polite. stood up, walked in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Recently, thieves are rampant on the border, the army is very hard, the court is very worried, and the pressure on the treasury is very heavy. You're all doing well, all right, you go on, and I won't bother you. ”
After speaking, he didn't look back. Go straight back to your place and continue to enjoy wine and snacks.
That's a good point. Three "even" words were used.
This is not the afterlife. Later generations asked those rich people to donate some money, and those who were officials begged their grandfathers and grandmothers to sue their grandmothers, and they were like grandsons, but this was in the Tang Dynasty, and the farmers were industrial. The status of a merchant was only higher than that of a slave, so naturally he was not respected as he deserved.
In the words of Zhou Shishi, who is old and stubborn, the country's willingness to accept this silver can be regarded as giving face to businessmen.
The official of the city office walked away. Everyone turned their dissatisfied eyes on Jin Qiaoqiao, and she tied the whole industry to the carriage in order to invite merit and rewards, although it is not impossible to donate some to the country, but the most unhappy thing for everyone is that they have been kept in the dark, and there is no discussion in advance.
Jin Qiaoqiao scolded the people of the city bureau in his heart, and he wanted face and silver, but he didn't treat you as a person, what he said was what, there was no discussion at all, he was sandwiched between his two ends, and he didn't please the left and right, but the businessman's voice was too weak, and he couldn't even make a voice of resistance.
Perhaps, this is the sorrow of the merchants.
Forget it, get this done first, and explain it slowly afterwards, how will they understand.
"Everyone" Jin Qiaoqiao stood up, although his heart was depressed to death, but he still smiled like a flower, and said very contrary to his will:
"I am very grateful to the Municipal Bureau for providing us with such a good place, and also arranged for drinks, so that we have the opportunity to contribute to our family and country, we live and work in Chang'an, do business in peace and stability, and it is indispensable for the soldiers to fight bloodily on the front line, and raise a little money and silver for them, so that they can take better weapons and stronger armor to defeat the enemy, so that we can have a good environment and operate with peace of mind, everyone, are you right?"
A good place is a restaurant that is temporarily borrowed and does not cost money, and arranges drinks, that is, the official is tasting wine, and the merchant is drinking water
"Yes" Everyone responded weakly, thinking in their hearts, how much silver this will get, firstly, it will not be too painful, and secondly, there will be light on their faces.
Jin Qiaoqiao's pretty face twitched, and there was no way to do this kind of thing.
"The gold shopkeeper, the gold supreme jewelry industry is recognized as a leader, the jewelry inside, all of them are boutiques, the business is prosperous, the silver is like a pig's cage into the water, the day is not more than a thousand gold, and now actively organize the fundraising of all the present, I don't know how much, how much is the head of the gold club ready to donate?" Liu Yuan raised his head and asked with interest.
"Yes, how much does the Golden Supreme donate?"
"That's it, so positive, then definitely donate a little more"
"Jin Supreme is a hair, which is thicker than the waist of my small shop, which can not be missing."
All the peers are dissatisfied with the gold supreme, what is this called, selling peers for glory, and not every peer is like it every day, listening to Liu Yuanyi, everyone is coaxing.
Jin Qiaoqiao said unhurriedly: "This silver, Jin Supreme will naturally not be stingy, but I am interested in asking, Liu Xiaolangjun, who once enjoyed the first jewelry store in Yangzhou, married the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, became the son-in-law of the Cui family, and now took the initiative to donate, how much are you going to donate?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Liu Yuan in surprise, to say that they were the first in Yangzhou, and the people present didn't think there was anything, as the so-called tiger in the mountains is gone, and the monkey can also be called the king, but he has been a businessman and can marry the daughter of the Cui family, so the luck is not ordinary.
Many people who looked down on Liu Yuan just now couldn't help but glance at it, Nima, the ancestral tomb is smoking, it is even more difficult than falling a gold ingot from the sky and hitting it, which is also too lucky.
Liu Yuan stopped talking, and said a little embarrassedly: "I only represent a person, how can I compare with you big businessmen, just do my best." ”
Jin Qiaoqiao's heart moved: Sure enough, he didn't guess wrong, seeing that he was the son-in-law of the Cui family, he actually had to show up, it must be that the status of the Cui family is too low, and the Cui family takes a fancy to his business talent, so he was recruited as a son-in-law.
Hey, young people are young people, their brains haven't grown yet, they just rely on their enthusiasm, they have no power or power, and they still want to donate money and be in the limelight?
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Jin Qiaoqiao's mouth. (To be continued.) )
