Chapter 177: Three Imperial Merchants
"What's the matter with you?"
Putting down the plate in his hand, Qin Xiang looked at the person in front of him a little strangely.
"Are you free now? I want to talk to you about business. ”
Jin Porcelain has a gentle face, looking polite, a bit like a reader.
It's just that Sven looks like a person, but in fact has a despicable character, she has seen it before, so she still hasn't let her guard down.
"What business?"
Qin Xiang thought about it for a while, thinking in his heart that this person would probably also cooperate with them to wholesale fried chicken.
"I'm from Fucheng, and I see that your shop is good, so I want to cooperate with you to open a shop like this in Fucheng."
Jin Ci put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a gentle face.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Jin Porcelain to have such a big appetite and want to meddle in the business of gnawing chickens.
If this thing is really done by him, then the development of their shop in the future will not be completely controlled by them.
Qin Xiang also wants to develop this shop into a national chain, so naturally he doesn't want others to get a piece of the pie.
"Shopkeeper Jin, Fucheng is too far away, and we don't plan to do business there for the time being."
Facing Jin Porcelain's expectant expression, Qin Xiang said apologetically.
Jin Ci seemed to be a little surprised, he didn't expect Qin Xiang to refuse, in his opinion, this kind of cooperation method was already very cost-effective for Qin Xiang.
"Shopkeeper Qin, didn't you also come to Linxian to branch the shop? Obviously, you don't plan to stop the business, if it's Jin's memory, you don't want others to interfere in this business, so you don't agree to cooperate. ”
His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, Jin Ci frowned slightly, but he still looked at Qin Xiang with a smile.
Regarding his words, Qin Xiang was noncommittal: "In short, I don't plan to cooperate with anyone, so I will disappoint you this time." ”
"Shopkeeper Qin doesn't have to refuse so quickly, you can discuss it carefully."
He paid for some gold porcelain, got up and left the shop.
Without looking back, he walked out of the shop and blended into the bustling crowd of the street.
However, among this group, he seemed out of place, like a peacock, mixed with fowl.
Knowing that he had gone away, Qin Xiang came back to his senses and realized that she had done so well in this business, and finally attracted the attention of some big merchants in Fucheng.
In this county, no one can do anything to her, but it's hard to say in Fucheng.
Especially in this feudal dynasty with strict etiquette, tradition and high concentration of power.
She felt that she needed to plan well, otherwise it would be really difficult to keep her business.
However, she thought about it for an afternoon, but still couldn't think of a good solution.
Therefore, after Jiang Li walked into the shop, he saw Qin Xiang sitting at the table in a daze with a sad face.
He quietly walked to Qin Xiang and sat down, and seeing that Qin Xiang didn't react at all, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Qin Xiang, whom he knew, had always been a shrewd person who could always stay sober.
Definitely not like this, unless she's in some trouble.
"What's wrong?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn't hold his breath anymore, and hurriedly spoke.
"Are you familiar with the merchants in Fucheng?"
As soon as he heard Jiang Li's voice, Qin Xiang was suddenly awakened, and inadvertently asked such a sentence.
After asking, she regretted it a little, because Jiang Li's family was a scholarly family, and he might not necessarily come into contact with any merchants.
"I really know that, but ...... I'm hungry, so let's talk while eating. ”
Jiang Lixiao's eyes narrowed, and he was thinking about something to talk to Qin Xiang, but Qin Xiang took the lead in speaking.
"Okay, I'll go and prepare."
Qin Xiang glanced at the sky outside, which had darkened, and realized that she hadn't eaten dinner either, so she hurriedly stood up.
"Let's get busy guys, we'll just wait here."
Seeing this, Jiang Li immediately stopped her, although he really wanted to eat what Qin Xiang cooked, he wanted Qin Xiang to stay together and chat.
Qin Xiang was also anxious to know about the merchants in Fucheng, so he nodded, and asked the guys to serve some food casually, so that they could also take turns to eat.
"There are a total of three powerful merchants in this city, namely Jin, Cheng, and Zhao."
Jiang Li saw that Qin Xiang had encountered something that he didn't know about, so he immediately proudly helped introduce it.
"You put the Jin family at the top, is it because their family is the strongest?"
Isn't this a three-legged stand? On the surface, Qin Xiang still pretended to be curious and asked.
At this time, the man brought all the food, and the two chatted while eating.
It turns out that Fucheng is very advantageous in terms of geographical location.
Therefore, there are many abundant resources and it is also a transportation hub in various places.
As a result, Fucheng is one of the richest cities in the entire Western Yan Kingdom.
And these three families are all imperial businessmen, and the most powerful thing about the Jin family is because the Jin family has a concubine.
With such a name as the emperor's relatives and relatives, no one will deliberately get along with the Jin family on the surface.
Therefore, the Jin family is becoming more and more arrogant.
Especially after the lady in the palace sat on the throne of the palace and gave birth to a son, their family became even more arrogant.
"You have to stay away from such people."
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be glad that she had pushed that incident just now, otherwise she would have been entangled in the Jin family.
"You think like this, how many people do you know, and they are trying to get in touch with their families."
Nibbling on a chicken leg, Jiang Li smiled and teased.
"I don't believe you can't see the trick in this."
Qin Xiang rolled his eyes and couldn't help but pout.
She is a high-achieving student, she has studied a lot of history since she was a child, and in the records of ancient history, the change of dynasties has always been bloody.
With her current social status, if she is really involved, she will be cannon fodder.
"That's why I've always thought you're extraordinary."
Jiang Li looked at Qin Xiang with a look of appreciation in his eyes?
When he saw that cousin recently, he had a handkerchief relationship with a girl from the Jin family, and they had a close personal relationship.
And she's quite proud to have a handkerchief with the surname Kim.
"Ordinary families are separated, even if the fight between brothers fails, they will lose some face and money. But when it comes to the royal family, the nature is different, and it is very likely that you will lose your life. ”
When Qin Xiang said this, he was thinking about the countermeasures to completely reject the Jin family in his heart, and at the same time reminding Jiang Li.
"Exactly, but it has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Li crossed Erlang's legs, and the old god looked at Qin Xiang with a smile in his eyes.
Ahem......
At this time, I heard a few sounds of coughing around me.
Qin Xiang turned his head, and saw Han Yunxiao, who had been silent for a long time, walking over, staring at Jiang Li with an unkind face.
Jiang Li didn't seem to see him, nibbling on fried chicken while continuing to introduce.
The second largest imperial merchant Cheng family in Fucheng, the biggest backer is the household servant, the family went to the household department, and got the salt introduction, so the business is very big.
Most of the docks in Fucheng are controlled by the Zhao family, and the ancestors of the Zhao family were born in the army, so the Zhao family is basically skilled.
Most of the ships coming from the south to the north have to dock at the port of Fucheng, and most of them have to touch the Zhao family.
Jiang Li finished speaking in one breath and concluded: "At present, the Jin family has the hardest backstage, the Cheng family is the richest, and the Zhao family has the widest distribution and the most people. ”
"If it were you, who would you choose to do business with?"
After talking for a long time, Qin Xiang became interested in this matter.
"The fried chicken business is so profitable, whoever you do business with is likely to be swallowed up by all the business."
Jiang Li affirmed with a face, although he was not from a merchant family.
But he has not seen the treacherous and mercenary nature of businessmen.
"I have a friend who works in Fucheng, and I ask him to take care of it, or he may be able to help you resolve the crisis."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Li spoke again.
He was really afraid that Qin Xianggang's business had improved a little, and he would be disturbed by the group of people in Fucheng.
"I'll think about it again."
Qin Xiang knew that Jiang Li also had good intentions, but such a lobbyist was not so easy to do, and she didn't want others to take such a risk.
"In that case, whenever you want to ask me for help, just let someone come to me."
Jiang Li didn't have any ink, he could probably guess Qin Xiang's thoughts.
Jiang Li stayed in the shop for an hour and a half, and after he left, the shop closed.
Qin Xiang asked the guy to clean up the shop, and she also took care of Han Yunxiao and went back to the bedroom together.
"How do you think this should be decided?"
Qin Xiang got straight to the point, she didn't believe that Han Yunxiao didn't know anything in her heart.
Han Yunxiao was silent for a moment before he spoke: "You said that if we don't tell them the method of crushing vegetable oil, how long will it take them to think about it?" ”
After thinking for a long time, Han Yunxiao spoke.
Qin Xiang thought about it for a while, but he was a little unsure, because in history, it was almost in the Wei and Jin dynasties that vegetable oil began to be used.
Unfortunately, before that, most people didn't know that plants could still squeeze oil.
"I think if we get to that point, it doesn't hurt to cooperate with them, let's come up with a plan, they will take care of the shop, if they have any bad ideas, as long as we don't provide a house, the shop will collapse."
Han Yunxiao is not very good at doing business, so he thought of the most direct way.
It's just that this method should not be effective.
She thought for a moment, thinking in her heart that if there was no other way, then this was the only way.
When she wanted it, she sat down at her desk and started keeping accounts.
Han Yunxiao also sat next to him, his face was silent, and after an hour, he urged Qin Xiang to rest early.
Qin Xiang saw that the time was not early, and after yawning, he got up and walked to the bedside.
Who knew that she took a step forward, and saw Han Yunxiao suddenly get up, run towards the door, and disappeared in the room in the blink of an eye.
Qin Xiang reacted at this time, and hurriedly walked out of the room.
She knew that Han Yunxiao didn't think he would do anything inexplicable, he must have discovered something just now.
When she reached the door, she saw a group of men in black sitting outside, these people were motionless, and even the sound of breathing was clear.
If it weren't for the fact that when she came out, she deliberately carried a candle and was willing to look around, she really couldn't see that there were still people in this will.
"Who are you?"
After seeing the group of people in front of her, Qin Xiang was a little confused, she really didn't expect that she could still encounter a killer in ancient times, such a hidden group.
She forced herself to calm down and searched the crowd for Han Yunxiao's traces, but she couldn't find it.
