"Shopkeeper Sun, the tea is already cold, it seems that your guys are not very sensible." Gu Huai'an looked back at the people around him, maybe he had been paying attention to the state here, seeing that the people on both sides were tense, it was naturally impossible to pay attention to the tea on the table, at this time, after being suddenly called by Gu Huai'an, he couldn't calm down for a while, and when he came back, he realized that neither of the two people in front of him could be offended by himself, one was the prince, and the other was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, maybe it was because he had been staying with Moduo for a long time in the past few days. I couldn't react for a while.

"I'm really sorry, please forgive me, Lord Gu, the guys in the store are all newcomers who don't understand the rules."

Gu Huai'an can probably see that this shopkeeper Sun should have played a very important role in the whole thing, not to mention anything else, just looking at the state he was looking at here intently just now, it must be because there is someone behind him waiting for his news.

"It's not important, it's just that the business in the store today doesn't seem to be so busy, and he has been listening to us talking to the side, it looks quite idle, so it's better to sit together and chat with us, after all, they are all people in the business field, and it's more convenient to chat."

Gu Huai'an naturally deliberately said this to test him, but everyone present could also hear it, and Shen Qianshan had already noticed that this person had been paying attention to them all along, but he didn't find a suitable time to mention it, this person was definitely not just an ordinary businessman, just because he could have such a good relationship with Moduo, it had already proved that he was not an ordinary person.

"That's right, if it's just the two of us talking to this gentleman, I'm afraid it will arouse his suspicions, if I'm not mistaken, Shopkeeper Sun and this Mr. Modo should be good friends, if you are next to you, this gentleman should not be afraid of us to put some trap on him."

Shen Qianshan's meaning when he said this is nothing more than wanting to pull the shopkeeper Sun here into the water, in the final analysis, this matter is also his beginning, if it weren't for him, how could Moduo, an ordinary foreign businessman, know that Yuhualou is his own industry? Now that he has already started this head, it is impossible for him to get out so easily, this shopkeeper Sun is not a simple person, even if he can't solve the matter of Modo completely today, at least he must find out the details of this person.

"This ...... It's not very good, the matter of the prince and Lord Gu, and then it's just all the ordinary people, how can they meddle in this matter? ”

Shopkeeper Sun obviously wanted to shirk this matter, or maybe he just wanted to look at this matter from the perspective of a bystander, but he didn't expect to be involved for no reason.

"There's nothing wrong with this, since Master Gu asked you to sit, it's not too much for Shopkeeper Sun to shirk like this

Well, besides, Mr. Mordo is your friend, and for his own sake, you should sit here and help him with a look, and see if there's anything we're trying to trick him on. Shen Qianshan slowly realized that although this shopkeeper Sun had a close relationship with Modo on the surface, in fact, it was very likely that there would be another person supporting him later, that is to say, he was not sincerely on Modo's side, as long as he sat at this table, he would naturally reveal some clues when he spoke.

After hearing this, Modo naturally didn't expect that the people in front of him were trapping him, thinking about his friend's enthusiasm for himself in the past few days, he naturally trusted him very much, plus the two people in front of him didn't seem to want to let go now, if there was someone who could stand on his side at this time, Modo would of course be desperate.

"Since they've both told you to sit down, what are you hesitating about?" Mo Duo still hasn't been able to see the situation in front of him clearly, but he still subconsciously thinks that Shopkeeper Sun should be the person on his side now, so he still trusts him very much.

"In that case, the grass people should be respectful and obey their orders."

Shopkeeper Sun is an extremely smart person, how could he not see that Shen Qianshan and Gu Huai'an are now trying to pull themselves into the water, but they are now just ordinary people, and there is no way to solve the requirements of the two of them no matter what, it seems that this matter is becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

"Since Shopkeeper Sun has already sat down here, then I don't say secret words, we can't achieve the condition that Mr. said just now, and I should think that Mr. didn't open this mouth just now, such a rude request will be rejected anywhere, I believe that Mr. should also be very clear about this."

Shen Qianshan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then Mo Duo in front of him began to be a little impressed, at first he only felt that the person in front of him was weak and weak, and he didn't look like a person who had led troops to fight on the battlefield at all, but listening to the momentum of his words, he gave himself a completely different feeling.

"Then tell me, what are the conditions you offer?"

"We will take 20% of all the goods brought into the capital by foreign merchants."

After Shen Qianshan said this, his heart also twitched, he didn't know that what Moduo said just now was an unreasonable request, and what he was saying now was also an unreasonable request.

"What do you mean by that?"

Mo Duo obviously didn't expect the person in front of him to say such a thing, and the emperor had never said it when he discussed it with him, and the person in front of him would make such a condition.

Originally, it was just to give him a dismissal, why does it seem like he has been calculated now?

"Sir heard me right, this is who we are

The best conditions that can be offered, you should also know in your heart how much money you businessmen can make doing business in this place, right? The reason why we can offer such conditions is that even under such conditions, you are definitely not trading at a loss. ”

Shen Qianshan has indeed discussed carefully with Gu Huai'an and Gu Suliang, even under such conditions, these foreign businessmen must have more money in their hands than they expected, for them, although such conditions are a bit harsh, not as much as they made before, but at least it can be regarded as a serious business, doing business in the capital, if there is no one behind them, it should be difficult to continue.

"It's too much of a deception."

How did Modo think that he would face such a situation? In such a state, of course, he felt that he was being tricked by the little emperor, and he had not discussed the result from the beginning, if every goods in and out of the capital had to be drawn in two, then wouldn't they have run back and forth in vain?

"Sir, don't worry, since you have already come to this place and can sit down and talk calmly, you might as well listen to me, I think Sir should have been instructed by some people, or, has reached a consensus with some people, and wants to save some money on this, right?"

After Shen Qianshan saw that the person in front of him was in a hurry, he was actually a little panicked in his heart, after all, he had already understood how cruel the methods of the person in front of him were, and if he felt a little frightened as a battle-hardened person, it was not easy for him to stay calm now.

"Well, I'd like to hear what else you can say about these things." Mo Duo looked at the shopkeeper Sun with a calm face, the expression on his face was the same as usual, so it was not easy for him to get angry here, after all, the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, although he said that he was more presumptuous on his own territory, and he was often in a situation where no one was in sight, but this did not mean that he would not see the situation clearly, and in this case, he would forcibly argue with the other party.

"This is the condition of our drive, you can take a look first." Gu Huai'an took out the letter that had been prepared a long time ago, and the conditions on it were only opened after careful consideration by a few of them, this was already the best result that could be given to Mo Duo and their gang under the condition of satisfying all the conditions of Shen Zhongbai, if there was still no way to be satisfied, he would no longer have any way.

Although Modo was angry, he still picked up the letter, perhaps because he noticed something, this time he did not share the letter in his hand with the shopkeeper Sun, but put it in front of him.

Sure enough, after looking at it for a while, the expression on Modo's face slowly relaxed.

"Looks like you already knew what I wanted to do

What's going on, right? ”

The expression on Modo's face not only relaxed, but even brought a provocative smile, until now he still thought that the person in front of him was just a fledgling hairy boy, and no matter what, there was no way to compare with a person like himself who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years.

"The conditions are like this, as long as Mr. can meet all the above requirements, we will naturally not break our promise, and will meet the needs of all merchants in accordance with all the above conditions."

Shen Qianshan clearly wrote on the letter that he asked these merchants to take 20% of the tax when they entered the city, but Shen Zhongbai still didn't expect one thing after all, when these merchants entered and left the capital, they had to pay far more than just taxes, and there were many other things, and Shen Qianshan also took this opportunity to take advantage of this loophole, which could make the mood of the people in front of him ease a little.
