Chapter 51: To be rich is to be capricious

The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, and the people only give themselves three days, what should they do with the lottery business that they have just planned? Liu Hong walked around the bedroom a little anxiously, not knowing what he suddenly thought of, and after sending out a few messages, he began to sit at the round table and write and draw.

After Lin Ming, Shang Wanhe, and Shopkeeper Chen of the Printing Society arrived at the meeting hall of Baicaotang, Liu Hong took out a notice and put it on the table: "You all have a look! If there is no problem, let Shopkeeper Chen publish it in the "Yanhaidi Daily" tomorrow morning. ”

"Tiandao Commercial Bank will hold an opening ceremony on September 17 in the square outside the gate of Yanhai Wufu, and at the same time hold a lottery business launch ceremony. All the residents of Iwakai City who are present can receive a gift worth 7 taels of gold. The final interpretation of the event belongs to Tiandao Commercial Bank!"

Shopkeeper Chen stayed there after whispering. Who would miss this kind of beautiful thing that can get 7 taels of gold as long as you run an errand? If tens of thousands of people are present, don't you pay hundreds of thousands of taels of gold? Boss! You can't be so capricious if you have money!

Liu Hong, who had no time, did not wait for them to put forward their opinions, and directly gave them an order: "Shang Wanhe is responsible for negotiating with the Wufu to occupy the square outside the gate, Lin Ming is responsible for mobilizing 200 people at the city gate to maintain the order of the day, and the shopkeeper Chen will print the lottery ticket immediately after printing the "Yanhaidi Daily". ”

Shopkeeper Chen is just a working boy, and he can only keep his thoughts in his heart. But he had one question that had to be answered now: "Boss, the announcement of the City Lord's Mansion has been sent to the printing office, you have become the commander of the city guard, who do we have to ask for advice when we encounter something?"

The lantern burning charm cannot be used at will in the city guard, and it is impossible to achieve remote command. Xia Yuxian was in a hurry to hand over Baicaotang to Liu Qiaoyun to take care of, let alone take over Yanhai Printing Society. Thinking of this, Liu Hong looked at Lin Ming, and Shang Wanhe said:

"I will merge the Yanhai Printing Society into the Heavenly Dao Trading House, and there should be no problem for the two of you to send someone to supervise it!"

At present, the gross income of the Yanhai Printing House is close to 1 million taels per day, and the merger into the Tiandao Commercial Bank means that the two of them have another amount of income, so how could they refuse? As for what Liu Hong wants to do in the square outside the Wufu Gate on 17 September, he will know when the time comes.

.................

Liu Hong sent the three of them out, and when he turned around and entered the sales hall, he saw Zhao Pu's complicated eyes. He smiled, took out a golden ticket from his bosom and handed it over: "It's only tens of thousands of taels of gold, are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape?"

Zhao Pu, who took the golden ticket in Liu Hong's hand and saw the specific number, the expression on his face became active again: "There are only more than a thousand bottles left." However, Shopkeeper Xia turned out two large boxes of Juyuan Dan from a long time ago in the warehouse yesterday, with 5,000 bottles. ”

Juyuan Dan is stored in a porcelain bottle, and each pill has a moisture-proof and deterioration-proof packaging on the outside, and it will not deteriorate after a few years.

So Liu Hong decided: "Post a notice at the door tomorrow morning, Baicaotang will no longer sell to anyone, and exchange it for Juyuan Dan." All herbs sold are settled in gold. Other guys can buy Juyuan Dan for themselves, can't you?"

"Why?"

Liu Hong smiled and took out a bottle of Jingyuan Dan from his arms, pulled out the cap of the bottle and poured out a few pills and swallowed them into his stomach before he explained:

"Now that you're in the rich class, you have to distinguish yourself from the rest of the guys. If you take Juyuan Dan like them again, won't you invisibly mix with them again?"

Zhao Pu pinched the 50,000 taels of gold ticket in his hand and was stunned. One Jing Yuan Dan is only equivalent to 5 Ju Yuan Dan, but because it has other functions, the price is 100 times that of Ju Yuan Dan. Is it necessary to be so extravagant in order to identify yourself?

..................................

The next morning, the headline on the front page of the "Iwakaidi Daily" was the announcement of the city lord's mansion. Why did Liu Hong become the commander of the city guard? Xu Changfu, president of the Inscription Masters Union, tore the newspaper to shreds when he thought of the reason.

After he vented his dissatisfaction, his apprentice knocked on the door and came in to tell him that Vice President Ma of the Danshi Union was waiting for him in the living room.

Seeing Xu Changfu, Ma Peide stood up with a smile on his face and said, "President Xu, I don't know if you have seen today's "Yanhaidi Daily". This Liu Hong is not satisfied with a profitable business like "Yanhaidi Daily", what kind of Tiandao business firm has he set up, and what lottery tickets are sold?"

"Once he is allowed to make this deal, he will rely on the Lin family and the merchant and slowly become stronger. If we want to deal with him, it becomes more difficult. ”

On the table of the living room, there is also a picture of the "Yanhaidi newspaper" brought by Ma Peide,Xu Changfu saw it from afar,The most conspicuous place in the commercial version,It is the opening ceremony of Tiandao Commercial Bank,At the same time, the news of the opening ceremony of the lottery business。

The original wealthy inscription division union did not dare to make a big move since it auctioned off a few giant-level magic weapons. Therefore, Xu Changfu said a few polite words to Ma Peide, sat down and asked, "We are all groups that rely on technology to eat, what can we do to deal with him?"

Ma Peide nodded his finger with his hand and said, "Of course you use your brain!" You look at the tone above, all the residents of Yanhai City who are present can get gifts worth 7 taels of gold. If tens of thousands of people disperse after receiving the gifts, do you think his opening ceremony will become a big joke?"

Ma Peide was able to come up with this idea, mainly because the price of his short-term cart was 5 taels of gold each time, and as long as he instructed the short-term workers he hired to use it as an ox cart, he could also earn 2 taels of gold from it. Such a win-win-win business he naturally won't miss.

However, Xu Changfu asked people to do good deeds for ten taels of gold each, and he would definitely die at a loss if he did so. Therefore, he hesitated a little and said: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with doing good deeds at all, and we don't have such idlers in the Inscription Division's Guild." ”

Ma Peide, who was bent on uniting the Inscription Masters Union and making Liu Hong look ugly, still did not give up: "Is it a good deed to help others show the way and give others maps? President Xu can completely attack Liu Hong in another way, and you let your people take the map to promote Liu Hong's activity." ”

"If you don't know how to get there, you can give him a map. As long as the more people go, the more Liu Hong will lose. If my people coax together, he will be left alone on the stage, won't it achieve the same effect we want?"

This matter was stirred up by Ma Peide like this, and it really has something to do with doing good deeds.

Xu Changfu gritted his teeth and hated Liu Hong in his heart! If the folding charm was first developed by the inscription division union, it would definitely be impossible for him to do such a boring thing as spending money to hire people to do good deeds. Of course, the most hateful thing is that this man made the reputation of the Inscription Division's Guild plummet.....

Xu Changfu, who was disgruntled in his heart, nodded and agreed to this cooperation with the Danshi Union.
