Chapter 199: Chamber of Commerce Turmoil
After Li Jingyu's rebellion, Jin Buchang used his superb skills, and with Li Hongfu's strong support, he has now become one of the largest chambers of commerce in Shiguo, and even the Qiu family had to give up the largest shop in Blackstone City to Jin Ge, and even the position of president of the Blackstone City Chamber of Commerce was also given up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone can see that Li Hongfu began to act against the Qiu family, using the special identity of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce to weaken the Qiu family's power.
Gu Qiuyu walked out of the shop of a chamber of commerce with a lost face, this was the fifth chamber of commerce he had asked, and none of these chambers of commerce had a caravan to go to the Lingzhu country recently.
As for big chambers of commerce like Jin Ge and Iron Horse, Gu Qiuyu was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he didn't go.
At this time, it was about to get dark, and Gu Qiuyu was thinking about whether to go back to the inn when he heard a commotion not far away, and pedestrians on the street walked towards it.
Gu Qiuyu didn't mean to look at the excitement at first, but just glanced over there calmly, but saw a fiery figure standing in front of a group of people and didn't know what was arguing.
"Zhou Yingying?"
Gu Qiuyu paused for a moment, this figure was familiar to him, it was the eldest lady of the Zhou family who taught him a lesson when he was in the Lin family.
Seeing that Zhou Yingying was there, Gu Qiuyu hesitated for a moment, and finally walked there to see what was going on.
Although Zhou Yingying is rude and willful, she has no ill will towards Gu Qiuyu, and she is the niece of his uncle-in-law Zhou Changyun, who took great care of him when he was in the Lin family.
"Why is there no Zhou family in the list of going out of the city tomorrow? It's just a few chambers of commerce that are in the same group as your Jinge Chamber of Commerce!"
Before approaching the crowd, Gu Qiuyu heard Zhou Yingying's heroic voice for a long time, but this voice was very dissatisfied at this time.
At this time, a man's voice came: "I said Miss Zhou, don't mess around here, since you have a chamber of commerce in this Black Rock City, you must obey our arrangement, otherwise what do you want our president to do?"
Gu Qiuyu had already walked over and hid in the crowd.
In front of him, the rest of the Chamber of Commerce were whispering something.
"After the Qiu family fell, the family will not be able to do it this week, and they have to look at Jin Ge's face. ”
"Isn't it, the Zhou family's goods have been piled up in this Black Rock City for several days, and Jin Ge just won't let them go out of the city. If this continues, the princes of the Frost Country will be impatient to wait, and they will not be able to buy other people's goods. ”
Gu Qiuyu didn't know what the two of them meant, so he interjected: "A few big brothers, what kind of goods is this, why are you so nervous?"
The two people who were discussing in front looked back at Gu Qiuyu, although they saw him in front of him, he was a young man, and his clothes were ordinary, and he had no vigilance.
One of them said coldly: "These big chambers of commerce, on the surface, do glamorous business, but in private they are some "old scum" (human traffickers). After the beginning of spring, the road to the frost country has been opened, and these "old scumbags" have to send the "goods" in their hands to the princes of the frost country. ”
Another person smiled: "It's winter, and last year's "goods" have almost frozen to death." The Frost Country is sparsely populated and has many princes, so you can't let these princes work. ”
Gu Qiuyu nodded, he knew about the business of the Zhou family, most of the slaves sold to the Frost Country were prisoners of war from the Shi Kingdom, or the family members of some high-ranking officials who had committed serious crimes.
He continued, "Then what are they arguing about here? The gates of this Black Rock City are open, and whoever wants to come out will be able to get out." ”
One of them said, "Brother, are you coming to this Black Rock City for the first time?
Gu Qiuyu shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've followed my senior brothers here, and I hope my brother will talk about it more." ”
When the two heard Gu Qiuyu say that they were martial artists, they couldn't help but look solemn, and one said: "This right to leave the city is a decree implemented by the Qiu family at the beginning. There are many chambers of commerce in Black Rock City, most of them are to wait until the beginning of spring to trade in the Frost Country, and the goods of each chamber of commerce cannot be loaded in a few carts. Therefore, the chamber of commerce that goes out of the city every day and how many goods are sent out are arranged by the Qiu family. This decree is nominally to prevent everyone from choosing to go out of the city on the same day to block the city gate and affect the normal passage in the city, but in fact it is to suppress and extort various chambers of commerce. ”
When Gu Qiuyu heard this, he naturally understood in his heart that goods going abroad naturally had to pay taxes, but this tax was given to the state. When the Qiu family is here, they will naturally not give up this piece of fat, and the Qiu family itself can control the local officials and the army, so they secretly collect a fee for going out of the city in the name of the president of the chamber of commerce, and there is no room for confrontation in any chamber of commerce.
But now, he is already the president of the Jin Ge Chamber of Commerce, and he can continue this method, which shows how high Jin Buchang's status is in Shiguo.
There are many caravans in Black Rock City, some of them come to the city in winter to repair, and some come in the early spring against the spring cold, and now the road to the Frost Country is open, and everyone wants to enter the Frost Country as soon as possible.
Before this, the Zhou family had a good relationship with the Qiu family before, and it should be the first caravan to go to the Frost Country. But after the Jinge Chamber of Commerce took over Black Rock City, the previous treatment of the Zhou family was gone, and the eldest lady of the Zhou family quarreled with the Jinge Chamber of Commerce precisely because of this matter.
"Miss, don't embarrass me! This rule was set by us before Jin Buchang became the president, and we also acted according to the rules!"
Due to Zhou Yingying's unreasonableness, the tone of the head of the Jin Ge Chamber of Commerce has also become tough, and the Zhou Changhong family is also very powerful in Shiguo, they don't want those chambers of commerce that are dissatisfied with Jin Ge to jump out and speak at this time with the power of the Zhou family.
At present, what is gratifying to him is that those chambers of commerce are still afraid of Jin Ge's current power in Shiguo, and no one has come forward.
Zhou Yingying's arrogant temper, seeing that a subordinate spoke to him like this at this time, raised his eyebrows, and pointed to the people in the Jinge Chamber of Commerce in front of him: "What rules? Our Zhou family's "goods" this time are the most among you! You Jinge are clearly greedy, and you want to suppress us with this!"
Zhou Yingying didn't care about anything else, in front of everyone, she said what everyone knew but didn't dare to say.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding chambers of commerce that had not obtained the right to go out immediately made a noise, and with the Zhou family in front, these people still dared to scold below.
The name of the director of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce is Zheng Xianming, who has been in the Jinge Chamber of Commerce since he was a child, and he is very shrewd about business matters, and has always been a close confidant of Jin Buchang.
Seeing the commotion around him, Zheng Xianming's face became more and more ugly, stared at Zhou Yingying and said, "Miss, the day after tomorrow, how about letting your Zhou family go out of the city the day after tomorrow? This is already the biggest right I can use." ”
In fact, all the order of going out of the city was drawn up by Jin Buchang, and Zheng Xianming just wanted to send Zhou Yingying away as soon as possible.
Who would have thought, as soon as Zhou Yingying heard this, she immediately splashed, pointing at Zheng Xianming and the Jin Ge people behind him: "The day after tomorrow, I will leave the city today! Otherwise, I will block the door of your Jin Ge and not leave!"
After that, let the person behind him move a chair at the door of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce and sit on it directly.
Zheng Xianming was trembling by Zhou Yingying's brutal vigor at this time, their Jin Ge Chamber of Commerce only became the leader of many chambers of commerce in Black Rock City this year, it is inevitable that some people will not be convinced, at this time, if Zhou Yingying makes trouble again, it will damage the prestige that Jin Ge has built up so hard.
Zheng Xianming was not a coward, he immediately waved his hand, and dozens of thugs from the Jinge Chamber of Commerce rushed out behind him.
"Miss, you came here to make a fuss, does Mr. Zhou know?"
Zhou Yingying glanced at Zheng Xianming, and snorted coldly: "Do you know that you don't care, just tell me if our Zhou family can get out of the city today!"
Zheng Xianming nodded and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame you for being ignorant!" With that, with a wave of one hand, the thugs of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce behind him surrounded Zhou Yingying.
In the eyes of others, Zhou Yingying's entourage added up to only five or six people, but they were surrounded by more than 20 thugs from the Jinge Chamber of Commerce.
Zhou Yingying sat motionless on the small stool, looking at these thugs of the Jinge Chamber of Commerce with disdain, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
"Miss, it's better to go back like this today, anyway, it's already dark, and the city gate is about to be closed, bear with it for another day, and let you go out of the city the day after tomorrow." ”
Zheng Xianming still didn't want to have a conflict with the Zhou family, after all, anything could be negotiated between businessmen, and he was also scared of the famous unruly lady of the Zhou family.
But Zhou Yingying was not a businessman that time, she was mainly looking for fun wherever she went, and today her face was hurt a lot, so she naturally didn't want to let go.
I saw her stepping on the chair with one foot and saying to Zheng Xianming: "If you want to fight, you can fight, where is the nonsense!"
At this time, Zhou Yingying was dressed in a fiery red suit, her apricot eyes were wide open on her heroic cheeks, the evening breeze blew her hair, and a few strands of black hair hung on her face, reflecting a stubborn lip that was even more bright red.
Zhou Yingying's anger and willfulness made the people around her dumbfounded.
Zheng Xianming also had a headache, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't lose the battle, so he could only say: "Then please invite the eldest lady to come to our Jinge business to rest for a while!" Then he waved one hand and said behind him: "Don't you go to invite the eldest lady?"
Jin Ge's thugs immediately rushed towards Zhou Yingying, but they were all empty-handed and did not hold sticks.
Zhou Yingying snorted coldly, bent her body back, and kicked a man in the chest.
The man only felt a huge force coming from his chest, and his whole body flew backwards.
Seeing this, the rest of the thugs immediately separated, and the five people surrounded Zhou Yingying, and the rest went to deal with the Zhou family's subordinates.
"Little girl, what are you afraid of! Brothers, come on!"
Jin Ge's nameless thugs rushed up in one fell swoop.
Zhou Yingying had contempt on her face, her body flipped continuously, and a pair of stretching legs kicked left and right, kicking the five thugs to the ground in the blink of an eye.
"That's all it takes?"
Seeing that these five people didn't dare to come over again after getting up, Zhou Yingying patted her clothes and looked at Zheng Xianming with disdain, in this process, her body never left the chair.
