In the lobby of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, musical instruments tinkled and sounded, and a woman in an emerald green dress danced with the music, and when the dance reached its climax, applause sounded from the crowd on the high platform, and someone shouted: "Li Gongzi and Zhuang Gongzi each reward Liu Rufeng with one hundred taels of gold!" Han Gongzi wrote a poem! Then a small servant ran up from the stage and sent the lottery money and rice paper with poems to the woman named Liu Rufeng, who had just finished dancing, and the woman thanked the audience with a smile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After that, the second woman began to perform on stage.

At the same time, in the private room where the merchants of Hexi Town gathered, the topic began to turn from the daily politeness without nutrition to the royal merchant gathering.

"Speaking of which, the Supreme Commercial House is the biggest winner of this Imperial Merchants Gathering, I'm right!" It was Boss Zhou, who ran the largest dyeing workshop in Hexi Town, who spoke.

"What Brother Zhou said is very true, the expressions of the adults in the Department of Internal Affairs when they saw the perfume, I still remember it vividly." Dong Qiu, the big shopkeeper of Tiansheng Hall, nodded, he looked at Wu Zheng and Pei Xinyuan, and said: "In previous years, the things in our Hexi Town were rated as medium grade at most, but this time Wu Shao's gang leader has won glory for our Hexi Town, hehehe." ”

Wu Zheng was listening to the singing outside the house with his ears pricked up at this time, the voice of the woman singing was very unique, but the song she sang was a little out of harmony with her voice, Wu Zheng felt that it was more appropriate for her to sing some sensational tunes.

Pei Xinyuan, who was next to him, saw that Wu Zheng was a little distracted, so he gently patted him on the shoulder, signaling that the other party was talking to him. Only then did Wu Zheng come back to his senses and confess again and again. Such a scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and the previous statement that Wu Zheng was just a puppet seemed to be confirmed at this moment.

In the end, he is just a teenager, he is talking here, but he is out of the way, there are rumors that he is talented and witty, and now it seems that most of it is a rumor. However, the one next to him named Pei Xinyuan is more reliable, and at first glance he is a shrewd and capable person, as long as he is convinced, the rest of the matter will be much easier.

Liu Min had already seen a look of contempt in the eyes of these people, for some reason, it made her heart very uncomfortable, a man who admired herself, but in the eyes of others, he was like a waste, wouldn't that be a disguised statement that he had no vision?

And Wu Zheng's light-hearted attitude made her feel even more angry, so she whispered to Wu Zheng: "They look down on you!" Why don't you say a few words? ”

"Say what? Say I'm not trash? Wu Zheng snorted, simply turned his head away, and cast his gaze through the window to the lobby: "Whether it's a waste or not, just know it yourself, it doesn't matter what other people think." ”

Ignoring the puffy Liu Min, Wu Zheng's attention was attracted by a little girl dressed as a maid. I saw her constantly shuttling through the crowd under the stage, holding a wooden plate with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in her hand, as long as she saw a man dressed in gorgeous clothes and Confucian clothes, she would walk up to talk, although I couldn't hear what she said, but judging from her pleading demeanor and the action of bowing repeatedly, she seemed to be begging people to do something.

But it seems that she still failed in the end, the other party waved his hand impatiently, and the little maid sighed and left in frustration.

"What is she doing?" Wu Zheng stared at the little maid with interest, guessing in his heart.

Yun'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to look for her target in the crowd. Before, a son-in-law had agreed to write poems for Miss Qin Ge, but a hateful guy on the side reminded him in a low voice, and the child's face changed, and he immediately regretted it again.

Never mind! There are so many people here, I can't believe there is no one willing to help Miss! The little girl bit her lip and walked over to another man in a fancy costume in the distance.

"I heard that there are four shops and a factory under the Supreme Commercial Bank, although the scale is not large, but the business is very good, presumably this is all the credit of Deputy Pei's gang leader, Lao Yu really admires it."

Pei Xinyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, this is all my family's young helper's good management, Pei is just helping him deal with some chores, but he can't talk about any credit." ”

Wu Zheng focused his attention on the interesting little girl, indifferent to the topics at the banquet, Pei Xinyuan, as the deputy gang leader, had to take on the responsibility that originally belonged to Wu Zheng, speak for him, and entertain for him. Pei Xinyuan's words and deeds did not make others feel inappropriate, but thought that he was covering up for Wu Zheng to cover up Wu Zheng's incompetence.

The leaders of several large commercial houses secretly passed a few glances, and Boss Zhou, who spoke before, said: "It is our blessing to be able to do things for the royal family, and it is also a matter of light on our faces when we say it, but the responsibility here is also very heavy, and we must not be sloppy." Brother Pei, brother, I take the liberty to ask, how much perfume can Supreme Commercial Bank produce in a month? How much soap? ”

Pei Xinyuan pondered for a moment and said: "If the raw materials are sufficient and the manpower is enough, there are still dozens of bottles of perfume, and there are more than 100 pieces of soap." ”

Boss Zhou frowned, shook his head slightly, and said, "This bit of output...... For this royal order, I'm afraid it's far from enough! Several of the other leaders nodded in agreement. Pei Xinyuan asked: "Dare to ask Boss Zhou, how much does the imperial merchant's order need?" ”

Boss Zhou said: "According to the situation in previous years, it is at least more than three times the current output of your family!" Pei Xinyuan was shocked, such a high demand far exceeded his expectations, with the current manpower of the factory, in the case of overtime, the output can be doubled, but it cannot reach three times at all. If the delivery is not on time...... The consequences of this ......

Seeing that Pei Xinyuan's face was getting more and more ugly, the leaders of several commercial houses were secretly happy in their hearts, but their faces were anxious with each other.

Dong Qiu said: "The Supreme Commercial Bank is also a part of our Hexi Town Chamber of Commerce, we naturally can't sit idly by, if Deputy Gang Leader Pei doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to contribute to Tianshengtang!" Boss Zhou on the side also said: "What the shopkeeper Dong said is very true, and we Qingshuifang are also willing to help!" As soon as they finished speaking, other firms also expressed their willingness to help.

Kang Qian, who had been silent, sneered in his heart, and said in his heart: "Is there going to be a showdown?" However, he didn't want to expose these people's schemes, so he also opened his mouth and said, "And we Kangji." ”

Pei Xinyuan stood up and thanked everyone again and again, but he also faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, as the saying goes: no profit is not early, these people are so enthusiastic about the Supreme Commercial Bank, maybe out of sincerity, maybe ...... There are other purposes as well.

This idea was quickly confirmed, and the boss suddenly changed his words that week, saying, "But ......"

But? Pei Xinyuan's heart sank.

"However, although we are willing to help, but after all, we are all in business, we leave our own business for the royal order of the Supreme Commercial Bank, this is a bit unreasonable, Brother Pei will definitely be unhappy in his heart, am I right?"

"Boss Zhou is right, our factories and manpower can be lent to the Supreme Commercial Bank, but the necessary expenses still have to be compensated to us, and we can't do loss-making transactions, do you think this is the reason?" The boss of a certain trading house surnamed Huang said.

"It's a little sad to raise money, I think it's better to give everyone a point of the imperial merchant's order, so that the Supreme Commercial Bank can afford it, and there is no need to compensate us, everyone is happy, wouldn't it be better?"

“……”

The smile on Pei Xinyuan's face was a little unnatural, and the hands hidden under the table were clenched tightly, he finally knew the intentions of these people, but he had no choice. If you don't agree, the imperial merchant's order can't be completed on time, which is a felony similar to "bullying the king"! Agreed, the orders that were finally received will be divided up by these greedy guys, and the large sums of money spent on their own efforts and bribes have all been wasted, while these people on the other side can get the orders of the imperial merchants without spending a penny, and it is still a large part!

But most importantly, they will definitely make an even more drastic request, and that is to ask for the secret recipe for perfume and soap!

Liu Min looked at the scene in front of him coldly, but Wu Zheng beside him didn't seem to hear it, still watching the performance in the lobby intently.

"What do you do next?" Liu Min turned his gaze to Wu Zheng and thought to himself.
