The next day.

An exchange meeting for the top wealthy people in the kingdom.

The upper class enjoyed some of the best service in the kingdom, with the gold medal chef carefully baking steaks in the open kitchen.

You need to know that in order to cook a steak to be fully cooked, you need to have a high enough fat content in the steak and very good cooking skills.

"Chef Wheaton, since baking this steak is so much of a hassle, why don't you cut it thinner, or cut it into chunks and skewer it together?" A handsome young man looked puzzled.

Chef Wheaton smiled and replied very gentlemanly, "Sir, don't you know that when the meat is big enough, it can be tender and juicy. ”

"Then why don't you bake it in the oven first and then fry it?" Zhu Ping asked again.

Chef Wheaton's smile was like a spring breeze, and he said, "In this case, the meat will become very old and difficult to swallow." ”

"Oh......" Zhu Ping suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that the fully cooked steak you said is equivalent to undercooked!" Forget it, I won't eat it, I thought you said that full cooked is really fully cooked! ”

Chef Wheaton: "? ……”

Zhu Ping stayed to bake for about half an hour, and the busy chef turned around and left.

"Before, I thought that the steak grilled by Nina was too dry and hard, and it tasted like beef jerky, and I thought it was unpalatable that she made it, but it turned out that beef jerky was fully cooked in the real sense!"

Then Zhu Ping dangled by the pool of the villa with a wine glass, and Kiko, a young member of the inspection team, followed Zhu Ping and introduced him to the businessmen who kept coming:

"This is a grain merchant in the capital city of Orlandon, it is said that the food in his hands is extremely widespread, and he has some connections with many nobles, and his power is not insignificant."

"The fat man over there is the owner of a wool factory in the capital city of Orlandon, and he has no less than ten factories in his hands, and even if the situation is turbulent, his factory is still not closed."

“……”

Among the people who come and go, they are all wearing well-trimmed clothes, their faces are ruddy, and they behave appropriately between talking and laughing, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

A spectacle of grandeur and luxury.

Of course, this is true without considering the fact that the bark of the tree roots outside the door has been eaten away.

Zhu Ping disguised himself as a foreign merchant from the Holy Country.

The Holy Kingdom is located in the center of the Central Continent and is considered to be the center of the entire world.

But the people of this world have a habit of talking, and like to compare other countries of the central continent, such as the kingdom of Zeus and the kingdom of Promi...... These people in the Central Continent are also known as the Holy Nations.

To put it simply, it is to put gold on the face, or to highlight one's own status.

When Zhu Ping came, there were also many rich people who came over with wine glasses to talk to each other, and the network was established in this way.

It's just that after he politely refused, no one used a hot face to stick a cold ass anymore.

Soon, a large number of businessmen poured in, and the exchange began.

At first, the businessmen were still talking in a gentlemanly manner, and they were talking to each other in a very decent tone.

But soon, the exchange slowly took a turn for the worse.

"Oh! My old friend, you can sell your grain more expensively, and if it is more expensive, you will starve everyone to death, and see who else you can sell? ”

"Oh! My old fellow, no! No way! You sheep shearer doesn't know how to buy grain! ”

"Don't talk about this, if your food is more expensive, the ignorant, ignorant and rude workers in the factory will go crazy, you are playing with fire."

"You should thank me for the workers, if I hadn't sold some food, they would have starved to death on the side of the road."

“……”

"Fart! They're obviously going to eat at the joint cafeteria, it's your business! In the middle of their conversations, a third person interjected, an industrial raw material merchant with whom the United Company had a trading relationship.

These three represent three types of people in the field.

One is the grain merchants whose interests are deeply bound to the aristocracy and are completely biased towards the aristocracy in their position.

One is the factory owners who make money from their workers and vacillate in their attitudes.

The last category is the raw material merchants who have commercial trade with both the nobles and the Allied Companies, and the foreign merchants who remain neutral without looking at the faces of the Orlanton nobles.

The views of these three groups of people are not because of personal relationships, but because of "where the interests lie".

The grain merchants took grain from the nobles and helped the nobles monopolize the grain, so as to plunder the resources and loot the money of the poor, and the nobles and the merchants split the accounts.

The factory owners were a wavering faction, as they earned their money from exploiting the workers, and seemed to be close to the relationship between the aristocracy and Hall.

But the factory owners were faintly leaning towards the aristocracy, because they needed cheap manpower, and the wages offered by the joint companies to the workers were too high, which was increasing the value of manpower.

So they have some aversion to the United Corporation.

But the United Company is providing food for their workers, so they are "eating with a bowl and scolding their mothers with a bowl down."

The last type of raw material suppliers are mostly people sent by foreign businessmen to Orlandon, and they can speak fairly because they do not have much interest in Orlandon.

When they heard that the workers were relying on the United Company to have enough to eat, the factory owners turned blue and red, so they changed the subject and continued to make noise.

The factory owner blames the grain merchant for selling too high.

The grain merchants said that they could not do anything about it, it was caused by the laws of the market, and if it were not for the joint company to influence the market, the price of grain would have stabilized long ago.

Some factory owners say that if it weren't for the existence of the United Corporation, their workers would have had a problem even getting enough to eat.

It's hilarious.

They quarreled and quarreled, but there was a line that was never touched.

That is: to raise the wages of workers so that they can afford to eat.

This sentence, of course, cannot be mentioned.

This is the last decency of the merchants.

During the discussion, the grain merchants did not let up, and soon the conflict shifted from the grain merchants and factory owners to the relationship between the aristocracy and the associated companies.

Some of the factory owners said, "What are you guys involved in the dispute between the big nobles and the United Company?" Now the canteen of the United Company is closed to non-partners, so let's be satisfied! ”

"We are just a normal commercial trade, why Hall forbids the workers to enter, it is the fault of the United Company, it is he who makes the workers unable to afford to eat."

"Does the United Company owe you?

You guys are really interesting, taking advantage of the United Company, and secretly helping the nobles deal with the United Company, and finally having a problem, and blaming the United Company, it's ridiculous! A handsome man in the crowd said.

After Zhu Ping unveiled the fig leaf of the merchants, the slightly more cheeky people were speechless, and the thick-skinned people reprimanded angrily, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

And Zhu Ping didn't care about these people's war of words, and said indifferently: "If you continue like this, it doesn't have much to do with me."

But some people have to think clearly, what will be the result if they continue to help the aristocracy suppress the United Company?

Even if justice is not considered injustice......

In business.

Can the factory still be opened? If the commoners are forced into a hurry, civil strife arises, and the nobles have soldiers and horses to protect themselves, then what about you fat sheep? ”

"Who are you?"

"Who dragged you into the meeting?"

"Shut up!"

When the merchants heard that Zhu Ping had tried their best to hide the facts, some were frightened, and some were angry.

And after Zhu Ping left this sentence, he took an unhurried step and left slowly.

Although I still want to watch a good show for a while.

However, after the truth is clarified, the contradiction is transferred to himself, and if he does not get out of the sight of this group of people, their good show will not be able to start.
