Dongcheng District, a warehouse near the camp of the righteous army.

Before the Rebels captured Long Mountain, this large warehouse was used to store cotton and raw silk, and was occasionally left unused. But now, this warehouse has been taken over by the rebels, and the little cotton that was originally in stock has been thrown into a corner of the warehouse at will, and the rest of the warehouse is full of valuable treasures looted by the rebels in Longshan.

Pieces and boxes are stacked together, reflecting the whole warehouse with jewels.

Because the number of nobles in Longshan far exceeds that of small places such as Yicheng and Lushan, the total number of families copied down is quite amazing. The only pity is that the really valuable and portable golden tickets, Imperial Bank bonds, shop title deeds, etc., were all transferred away early before Longshan was besieged.

Most of what was left to the rebels was some calligraphy and paintings, antiques, silk, and real estate.

In terms of value, these things are actually quite amazing, but in the hands of the rebels, they are no different from scrap. In order to make the most of them, Chen Wu thought about it and decided to cooperate with some of the black channels known in "Empire". The seizures of these rebels are called "thieves" in the official face. The vast majority of chambers of commerce dare not touch it, but there are always some who dare to ask for money and die, or those with a strong background, who dare to do this kind of business in private.

The Longhe Chamber of Commerce, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Hongning Gang are among the representatives!

Mo Guohao, as the co-captain of the original Longshan City, must have dealt with such a force, and now he is one of the high-level generals of the Righteous Army. With him coming forward to invite someone, Chen Wu believed that these forces would not lose face—even if his rebels had only copied all the valuable items in the residence of the Chamber of Commerce a few days ago.

As he expected, there were still a few minutes before the agreed time, and the heads of the two chambers of commerce and the elders of the Hongning Gang came to the door together. The place of meeting was deliberately arranged by Chen Wu in a small room next to the warehouse.

He was not surprised that the three families had come together.

Suddenly receiving the invitation, these local forces in Longshan must be uneasy. Do your research in advance. Knowing that there are other forces that have also received the notice, it is normal for people to connect them in advance and agree to advance and retreat together.

In a sense, the unabashed appearance of these three people together is itself an indication of an attitude.

"This is General Tiangong!"

Mo Guohao, who sent out the invitation, stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce the three of them.

Don't care what you think in your heart, at least it seems that the three forces are still very polite. They all bowed their hands to greet Chen Wu.

"Please sit at will, the conditions are simple, if you are slack, please bear with me."

After all, there was a deal to discuss, and Chen Wu didn't make a big deal, got up and said a few polite words, and then sat down.

The person in charge of the Longhe Chamber of Commerce was a fat man who looked quite shrewd, wearing a plain shirt and a golden wrench on the thumb of his left hand, claiming to be Jia Xue. This surname is accompanied by this name. It always feels funny. However, this person can manage a chamber of commerce, and his ability should not be underestimated. If he was only half sure of being on the road before, but when he passed by the warehouse when he entered the door just now, and then saw Chen Wu's attitude, he was almost eighty percent sure that he could conclude the purpose of Chen Wu's summoning them.

Although Chen Wu had only copied the Chamber of Commerce before, the business was completely halted because of the siege of Longshan. Losses are enormous, but a qualified businessman. It will not be lightened by this.

As long as there is a greater benefit, he can ignore the previous losses.

Wei Qijia, the person in charge of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, probably guessed the purpose of Chen Wu's summoning him. Under the cover of drinking tea, he and Jia Xue quietly exchanged glances, and the two sat up steadily. Make up your mind to pinch the other party in order to fight for more benefits.

Chen Wu didn't take the initiative to mention it. They also held their breath and remained silent.

Elder Tong of the Hongning Gang is also a good person, and the two heads of the Chamber of Commerce did not speak, he drew a scoop according to the gourd and drank the tea in one go. The tea leaves chewed a few times, and then began to close their eyes and recuperate.

The four of them sat opposite each other for a while, and Chen Wu's heart was already like a mirror.

He sneered secretly, and said to Mo Guohao, who looked a little embarrassed next to him: "Captain Mo, is the plaque I ordered you to make before?" ”

"Plaque?"

Mo Guohao was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember that Chen Wuyou had ordered this, but his reaction was fast, and he hurriedly said vaguely: "I'm still in a hurry, I don't know ...... general."

"Tell your subordinates, hurry up!" Chen Wu looked annoyed and urged: "It's rare that the friends of the two chambers of commerce and the Hongning Gang understand the righteousness and are willing to support the rebels, and we must not let our friends suffer." Listen, those ownerless fields outside the city will be in charge, and each family will be given 5,000 acres. There is no less glory than it deserves! Tomorrow, you will personally lead people, bring a plaque of supporting the army in the handwritten handbook, beat gongs and drums to send it to the three families, and be sure to let the people of the whole city know! ”

"What the general said is very true, and he will urge his subordinates."

Mo Guohao knew Chen Wu's intentions halfway through listening, nodded approvingly, and turned around to go out.

"Don't, don't! Brother Mo, please stay! ”

Chen Wu's insidious intentions forced the three of them to sit still, so they quickly got up and grabbed Mo Guohao.

It's one thing to cooperate with the thief army to make money in private, even if there are any unclear traces left afterwards, it doesn't matter, naturally someone will help suppress it. But if it is really like Chen Wu, it will cause a storm in the city, and everyone knows about it in the 100,000 Long Mountain, then no matter how deep their background is, they will not be able to bear it.

After all, this crime is a thief!

"General Tiangong, what do you mean by this?"

Caught off guard by Chen Wu's move, the Wei Qi family, who wore a staff hat and a goatee, looked a bit like an old pedant, had to speak.

"Why did Mr. Wei ask?"

Chen Wu looked surprised and said, "Ben Jiang just talked to you about a business, and no one here objected, thinking that you all agreed. Since he was willing to support the rebels, he would naturally have to show something. ”

"How did General Tiangong talk to me about business?"

The two heads of the Chamber of Commerce and Elder Tong of the Hongning Gang were stunned.

"Huh, didn't you say that?" Chen Wu patted his head and said with some annoyance: "Recently, the military affairs have been very busy, so much so that there is a lack of sleep, it seems that there is something wrong with the general's memory." Well, let's talk to a few more people. Well, Ben has recently made a windfall. I want to get rid of them cheaper. I happened to hear that several of you here have a bit of a way, so I asked Brother Guohao to invite you here. ”

"Windfall?" Elder Tong snorted and said, "This accident is really big enough, Tong Mou, I have been in Longshan for so many years, how come I haven't encountered an accident." ”

"Elder Tong!" Chen Wu glanced at him meaningfully, and saw that the other party suddenly realized something. His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but admonish: "It seems that you haven't figured out who is in charge of Longshan Mansion now." ”

A sentence that was neither light nor serious, but it made Elder Tong quickly recognize the reality.

Before this, he had always regarded the other party as a thief in his heart, and after coming in, Chen Wu seemed to be quite kind, so he forgot a fact: Now the empire in Longshan Mansion doesn't count, Chen Wu only counts if he says it!

His own life is also completely in the hands of others.

"Brother Tong. Be careful! ”

"General Tiangong doesn't have to be like Lao Tong, he is a rough person, just like this."

Wei Qijia and Jia Xue, who were next to them, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly came forward to help round the field. Chen Wuben didn't mean to really do it, he just scared and scared him, and took advantage of this step to expose it.

However, there was such a place before, and Chen Wu's purpose in summoning them could be regarded as debunking. Realizing that the leader of the thief army in front of him seemed to be not easy to fool. Jia Xue hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Since the general can afford to be in the next few. Then Jia Mou said it bluntly. If it is these black goods, Jia's chamber of commerce does have channels to change hands and is willing to take them. It's just that in terms of price, General Tiangong also knows that this kind of goods is very troublesome, and it may cause trouble if you are not careful. So ......"

"Fifty percent!" Chen Wu's neat quotation: "The price is counted as fifty percent of the original goods, as long as you change hands, it will be double the profit!" ”

"It can't be!"

Jia Xue and Wei Qijia didn't think about it, so they opened their mouths together.

Elder Tong also subconsciously wanted to object, but when the words came to his lips, he forcibly swallowed them again. Obviously, he was frightened just now, afraid that he would anger Chen Wu again and cause trouble.

"Fifty percent is too high!"

Afraid that Chen Wu would not know the doorway inside, Jia Xue shook his head and sighed, and settled the account for him: "After we receive the goods, we must evaluate the goods and transfer them to other places, and it is indispensable to check up and down during the period to prevent the government from inspecting." Moreover, the buyer of this kind of goods also knows that it is not clean, and it is generally not sold at the original price. If it comes to light, we'll have to spend money to keep it down...... Fifty percent, the hard-earned money is not proportional to the risk. ”

In "Empire", Chen Wuyou has dealt with them, of course, he knows that fifty percent is impossible, and the reason why he quoted this price is nothing more than asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the ground. Seeing that the other party objected together, he didn't insist, and immediately said: "Then with Brother Jia's meaning, how much is the discount?" ”

"Different types of black goods have different discount ratios, generally speaking, the discount is 20%. For the sake of the general, our Chamber of Commerce will give a maximum of 30% of the price, and it can't be higher! ”

In other words, if the original item is worth 100 gold, the Longhe Chamber of Commerce will buy it at a price of 30 gold.

If it is transported to another county, it will change hands and it will be three times the profit!

Involving the wealth of half of the county, it is definitely a big business, and it may not be encountered once in a few years. Whether it is Jia Xue, the Wei Qi family, or Elder Tong of the Hongning Gang, they all want to take this job.

To be honest, the price of thirty percent can no longer be regarded as very low, and it has passed Chen Wu's psychological price. However, his ideal goal is to talk about 40% of the price.

After pondering for a while, seeing Jia Xue and the Wei Qi family looking at him together, waiting for his reply, Chen Wu nodded and said, "It's not impossible to make a price of thirty percent, but this will have to be bartered." If it is paid with the golden bills of the Imperial Bank and other banks, it will be forty percent of the price. Finally, Ben will not want gold coins! ”

This request undoubtedly made several people very difficult.

Whether it's for privacy or the convenience of the transaction, they want to pay with a golden ticket, but then the purchase price will be a third higher. After a moment of quiet deliberation, they nodded and asked, "According to the general, but what does the general plan to exchange this 'windfall' for?" ”

"Supplies, all kinds of supplies!"

Chen Wu spoke without hesitation: "Here is a list, pig iron, weapons, armor, war horses, grain, oil and salt, fire oil, and wound medicine...... How many of the above you have, how many do the rebels want! (To be continued......)
