After two weeks, Qin Le Yin came to the 'Tide Wind Pavilion' again.

Today's invitation is in the name of dinner, the last rays of sunset caress the seaside Xuan Candle County, the light falls on the bustling outer city, and the shadow remains in the quiet and tidy inner city.

Standing in the shadows, Qin Leyin has red hair, but it is more bright and charming.

He looked into the distance, and the Xuanzhu County in his vision was divided into two parts by nature,

One on top and one on bottom.

One in the dark, one in the light.

One extends outwards and one shrinks inward.

Many ordinary scenes, in unusual days, will be seen by people in the midst of change.

"Providence." He chuckled, "It's hard to disobey. ”

The servant at the door respectfully took Qin Le Yin to the VIP compartment inside, just like the last time, it was already full of familiar old faces, either the president of the Chamber of Commerce who had been up and down for many years, or the young handsome man who scolded Fang Xuan.

It's just that unlike the last time they were full of confidence, Qin Le Yin walked in, no one greeted him, everyone was contemplating and drinking.

In their eyes, there is confusion, sadness, confusion, and overwhelm.

Although they wore brocade clothes and satin, drank good wine, and ate delicious food, they were in luxurious and luxurious restaurants, and they were surrounded by well-behaved and obedient waitresses.

But they look,

It makes no difference as they despise those untouchables.

Qin Leyin's face remained unchanged and sat down, refused the waitress's request to wait, glanced at the empty lord's seat, and asked, "It's all this time, don't you want to listen to the family?" ”

"Please." Luo Zhen drank and said, "It's just that they didn't send anyone." Now that everyone is together, let's go out with the others. ”

"Why?" Quan Xin, who was having fun with the waitress, was dissatisfied: "What else is there to talk about now, it's better for everyone to eat and have fun, wait for Xiangxuehai to be comfortable, forget it, I'll invite you tonight!" ”

"Izumi Shin!" Luo Zhen slapped the table and became angry.

"The money you paid to go to the Red Jade Sea is also on my head, okay?" Quan Xin was not false at all, shook his head and sneered: "What's wrong? Without Jing Zhengwei, without listening to the second listener, do you think it will be your turn to be the boss? How old are you, and you want to move me? ”

"Izumi Shin!" Luo Zhen laughed angrily, he and Quan Xin have been partners from childhood to adulthood, Quan Xin has always been the only one who looks at him, but now Quan Xin actually lost his face on the spot, he stood up directly and clenched his fists: "Did you take medicine and eat your brain badly or do you only think with the following?" Dog mongrel, do you want to find death? ”

"Haha, you're in a hurry, you're in a hurry, you're in a hurry." Quan Xin hugged the maid and laughed: "Who doesn't know that your Luo family is the dog of the nobles of the family, and now that Jing Zhengwei wants to unify the silver blood, you can't be their money bag." ”

"Wanghai Gong wants to send him a daughter, will other nobles still use your Luo family? Your Luo family licks the nobles, the nobles lick Jing Zhengwei, as long as Jing Zhengwei expresses his willingness to continue to support that group of guys, the first of the five major chambers of commerce to disappear is your Luo family! ”

Luo Zhen's face turned pale.

Because what Quan Xin said is true.

Among the five major chambers of commerce, if you use technical content to describe it, the Luo family's industry is the most unsophisticated, either a store, a transit business, or a downstream assembly factory.

The confidence of the Luo family comes from the support of the nobles and the county guard. Unlike other chambers of commerce that first monopolize technology, and then let the county guard maintain their own monopoly, the Luo family first took out the chicken feather order of the county guard and forcibly monopolized the industry without technical content, so they can get huge profits without pressure.

Let's say, shoes.

Yes, shoes, a consumable item that has little value, are monopolized by the Luo family in Xuanzhu County. Ordinary people make straw shoes by themselves, and the Luo family doesn't care, but if you dare to open a store to sell shoes, just wait for the patrol guards to extort and extort the shop.

The Luo family divides shoes into many grades, the highest grade and the highest look is naturally for the supply of people, but they will not let go of the copper plates of the people, even the cheapest shoes are a price that makes ordinary people extremely uncomfortable, but they are smart and smart, and they will create public opinion of the shoe discrimination chain.

'Luo's shoes are comfortable to wear, durable, with a hundred years of history, cultural symbols', 'Only by wearing shoes can you be worthy of yourself', 'Silver-blooded nobles love to wear this style of shoes' and so on.

This kind of public opinion is still very useful in Xuanzhu County, people who have shoes to wear do have a sense of superiority over barefoot people, and many young people's first salary is to buy shoes for themselves, and they are even willing to buy more expensive shoes - others wear the lowest grade, you wear the same style as the silver-blooded nobles, and you hold your head high when you lift bricks.

But in the final analysis, the Luo family's profits all lie in his 'forced monopoly'.

Even if other chambers of commerce have peer competition, they can be forcibly crushed to death by virtue of their size; But the Luo family can't, once a peer enters the market, their 'good money' profits will be squeezed to zero by the 'bad money' goods of the untouchables.

Therefore, the Luo family's dependence on the nobles of the county guard is very large, and once there is no support from above, the Luo family will be finished in an instant.

And now, it is the summer of the Luo family's critical survival.

The aristocratic and powerful officials have fully fallen to Jing Zhengwei, they have no pressure, it's just a big deal to have one more lord. As long as they can continue to be officials, they will be able to exploit them sooner or later.

White gloves like the Luo family, they naturally won't cherish them. Although the Luo family is obedient and easy to use, after all, it is just a glove, not a family heirloom, and the lord wants to use it to warm his hands.

Everyone also knew this, and they couldn't help but have a trace of pity in their eyes when they looked at Luo Zhen.

Although the others can't escape, it is clear that Luo Zhen will be the one who dies the fastest, and it can even be said that he will die.

Workers need to be 'irreplaceable' in order to escape the fate of being abandoned when they are old, and the same is true for chambers of commerce.

The Luo family is like finding a rich man to support them by kneeling and licking when they were young, and they live on more than a dozen buildings on weekdays, but now that the rich man is bankrupt, he packaged the Luo family and the dozen buildings and sold them to Jing Zhengwei, and the Luo family has no temper at all.

Luo Zhen just stood there, staring straight at Quan Xin. Quan Xin, who was hollowed out by the wine, quickly coaxed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, save some energy to go to Xiangxuehai tonight." ”

The waitress hurriedly left the room as if they had been granted amnesty. They can talk about secrets like this inside the Silver Blood Society, but they can't listen to it, and if they continue to stay, their lives will have to stay there.

Luo Zhen took a deep breath, his face returned to calm, sat down, looked around, and asked, "The poet didn't come either?" ”

Someone said: "Originally, they were selling their property and preparing to leave Dongyang, but now that Xuanzhu County is like this, they have paid a large sum of money to Linhaijun, and they finally got permission to leave." ”

Everyone can't help but feel pity for the poet - other chambers of commerce have real industries anyway, and the money in them does not need to be used for military spending, but the poets have sold almost all the real industries these days, and the liquidity is too much.

If the poet is drawn forty percent, he really copies the family forty percent. is a top twenty-level chamber of commerce, just because of the loss in the Skyrim District, and the continuous human disasters, more than half of the family property is directly lost.

Luo Zhen just asked casually, and quickly got into the topic: "Does anyone know the listener's reaction?" ”

Lan Jianbo said: "I heard that the family is under full martial law, but it seems that they are ready to sell the goods ordered by the Heyang Army to the warlords on the other side of the sky, and they have already transported a shipload over. ”

Someone was surprised: "Heyang Army's goods, they dare to sell them?" ”

Soon, someone sneered: "The Heyang Army is all crippled now, and I don't know that there is still the Heyang Army after that, is it still left for the Heyang Army as charity?" ”

The most famous commodity of the listener is, of course, a gun.

When Heyang Jun was there, 90% of the output of the Tingjia Machinery Factory was sold to Heyang Jun at cost price, and even often lost money, and the remaining 10% was naturally the root of the Tingjia family's fortune.

And the reason why the Tingjia sold it to the Heyang army so cheaply was naturally not because of their deep love for this land, but because the Heyang army pointed at them with a weapon, did they dare to sell it expensive?

Now that the Heyang army has been disabled, the governor Gai Shiwen is gone, the wolf prison dock may be in internal fighting, and the military is completely incapable of balancing the listeners, why do the listeners still need to look at their faces?

On the flip side, the listeners are now the most likely to become warlords, and they have guns. If it weren't for Jing Zhengwei's intervention with Linjun, Dongyang District would have listened to it a long time ago.

"It's not the same way as our family."

"Yes, Jing Zhengwei can't do anything about them."

"If you listen to the confluence of wattles...... Fortunately, I heard that I had a grudge with Jing Zhengwei......"

"What's that grudge? It's called a big feud between listening to the ancient and listening to the late meeting, isn't listening to the ancient as if nothing happened? He even really gave him a concubine......"

"Really, you know?"

"Two days ago, I saw Tingwanjian flirting with a woman at the dock, I practiced the Flying Flower Strategy, and I recognized that woman as Tinggu's concubine."

Izumi asked seriously, "Is it beautiful?" ”

The answerer gave a thumbs up: "Xiangxuehai top card level." ”

Even if it is a topic of life and death, once the colored content is talked about, it is still crooked with lightning speed.

But Qin Leyin can understand them.

When faced with an unsolvable problem, normal people will choose to escape, just like a student doing one-minute homework and playing a half-hour mobile phone, just like an author writing a thousand words and playing a three-hour game...... This is a defense mechanism because everyone is not rational and cannot make optimal decisions.

The best decision for a primary school student who has scored 10 points is to go home and take off his pants and wait to be beaten, rather than adding a 0 with a red pen to the score, but there are always primary school students who hope that this will deceive their parents into escaping a beating.

When faced with unprecedented challenges, most people are no different from elementary school students. They may know the best decision in their hearts, but they can't make up their minds, or they may hope that a miracle will happen in reality.

At this time, we need a leader, a guiding lamp, and a person who can make everyone's hearts feel better.

So Qin Le Yin knocked on the table, so that the attention of the gossip people focused on themselves.

"Let's surrender."
