Jufeng Building, Tianzi private room.

The most prominent thing here is a big word.

White jade screens, mahogany tables and chairs, and patterns covered with gold leaf all over the room. Mahogany tables and chairs, the finest ceramic tableware, and fast children are all ivory.

The table is full of dishes, let's not talk about the taste first, the ingredients alone can make people stagger, and all the eight treasures of land and water are all on board.

What bear's paw hump, bird's nest shark fin. These things, even if the chef's craftsmanship is not good, as long as they can be made, the taste will not be too bad after all.

But at this moment, a group of people in the private room sighed at the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and no one moved quickly.

"Hasn't Shen Wansan come yet?" This person has a unique accent of Sichuan and Shu, and the clothes on his body are also good Shu brocade, which looks like a sense of extravagance.

"What can he do when he comes, I think you're working in vain. How did Shen Wansan's business become so big, who doesn't know? Trying to get him to unite with us is a pipe dream." The person who spoke was dressed in mink, and he was also dressed up rough and heroic, and most of the people present felt out of place.

"Anyway, you have to give it a try, you can't just go on like this, right? The workers under my command are becoming more and more disobedient now." A man with a southern accent at the table complained a little depressed.

"There's no way to use fart, what's there to try? If you want me to say, we will go on strike. Since the King of England does not give us merchants a way to live, there is no need for us to ask for hardship here."

"I also think it's a good idea, we have about 60% of Yanjing's projects in our hands. If we don't do it, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness won't be able to find so many people to replace us for a while."

A merchant in the corner sneered, "That's not all. Didn't His Royal Highness the King keep saying it for the common people? Once we let go, how many people in this Yanjing City will lose their livelihood. When the time comes, I will come and see what method His Royal Highness will use to fill the mouths of these people."

"And we can do that......

In the mouths of these merchants, Zhu Han seems to be a lamb to the slaughter.

Not everyone was echoing, and there was one person at the table who never said a word.

The maverick soon became the one who was lost.

"No matter what Boss Zhang says on weekdays, he is eloquent, why doesn't he say a word today?"

"Hehe, Boss Zhang can have today, but thanks to the promotion of His Royal Highness the King, we are not all the way."

"Who sent the invitation to Boss Zhang? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass people? If you find it inconvenient, Boss Zhang, you can leave now, and we will not embarrass you."

The person who was angry with these people was naturally Zhang Fengnian.

The previous cement formula was sold for more than 500,000 taels at once, and even these wealthy businessmen were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Don't look at all of them, all of them have a lot of money, and a business of 500,000 taels is not too unusual for them.

But the problem is that a business of 500,000 taels and a business of 500,000 taels are completely different concepts.

Even if there is really such a big benefit, how much manpower and material resources will be used in this, and how much money needs to be invested in advance in order to get through the relationship.

And, even if you don't do it all, you can do it all the best. If you really want to earn so many silver taels, it's not a matter of one or two years.

During this time, they also put a lot of effort into patents.

Although there are also benefits, compared with Zhang Fengnian, it is a small thing.

Therefore, many people are very unconvinced by Zhang Fengnian, and they just think that he is just a shit luck.

Usually he doesn't say anything, but on this occasion today, Zhang Fengnian has become the one who is lost.

was ridiculed by so many people openly and secretly, but Zhang Fengnian still looked as usual.

He took a sip from his wine glass, "Since you want to listen to the advice you have made, then Ruixue will be brave

Say a word."

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

the groove.

This guy can't have a problem with his brain, right?

Can't he hear that we're mocking him? Do you really think we want to ask for advice?

Don't think that just because you have earned a little bit of silver, you feel how great you are.

Which one of you here is not a business sea that has been up and down for half a lifetime.

Whether it is family business or experience, I don't know how many times stronger than you, a hairy boy.

Just an upstart who invited you to slap you in the face, do you really think you are qualified to be on an equal footing with us?

The corners of Zhang Fengnian's mouth turned up, how could he not know the thoughts of these people?

Before he came, he could already imagine what these guys were thinking.

However, he still came without hesitation.

He clenched his fist at the crowd at the table: "Seniors, your great name Ruixue has long been like thunder. When I was just a buddy, I heard a lot about you."

Even though these people have almost torn their faces with him, Zhang Fengnian's attitude has not changed.

Before speaking, the men were given a top hat.

is so obedient that everyone loves to listen, even if these people present all look at Zhang Fengnian unpleasantly, their attitudes have eased a lot.

"If only you knew."

"When I was in business, you were still in your mother's womb and were not born."

"Since you're so sensible, I'll teach you to be a good guy today. Don't think that His Royal Highness helped you because of any good intentions, he just wanted to promote his so-called patent law. If you think of yourself as the king's because of this, that's the most stupid idea."

"We are the real people of our own, in the eyes of those people in the court, we are just a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered, when they are hungry, they will directly cut us."

Zhang Fengnian seemed to listen respectfully, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

These people seem to have a heart for him, but in fact they are all honey-bellied guys.

At the time when he had just figured out the secret recipe for cement, the King of England had not yet given him a patent.

I don't know how many people, in every possible way, want to know the secret recipe of cement. Some people even offered Liu Shi a high price of 10,000 taels of silver for this reason.

Among these people who bought Liu Shishi, I don't know how many, they were sent by these guys.

After they finished speaking, Zhang Fengnian said solemnly: "The hearts of the seniors, the juniors have received it. It's just that this matter, the younger generation can't agree to it."

"The reason why the younger generation is here today is all thanks to the support of His Royal Highness. Otherwise, my friends and I will be just unknown people in Yanjing City."

"Your thoughts, the juniors also understand, the reason why I came here today is just some heartfelt words, not to vomit or be unhappy."

"The seniors felt that His Royal Highness was aggressive, and did not hesitate to harm the interests of our merchants for the sake of those ordinary people."

It's good that Zhang Fengnian didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned it, everyone present looked indignant.

"Isn't that person just picking the door with the money? It's just that he deducted four pieces of silver, and he was killed in the street."

Another person was also indignant: "If that's all it takes, it's money for self-inflicted." However, the guy who killed the murderer was acquitted, which is too unreasonable."

"Those of us who do business, although we have a little money, we can invest more money, and sometimes we can't turn around for a while, can't we be considerate and considerate?"

"yes, who doesn't have a penny when they don't have it? If it is not illegal to be killed just because of a temporary default, then how can this business continue?"

[In view of the general environment,

"Speaking of which, the King of England is just taking a knife at us for the sake of his own reputation. Throughout the ages, this kind of thing has not been uncommon."

There are many people on the other side, one person

Every word seems a mess.

In this case, Zhang Fengnian could still hear what they were saying clearly.

"Seniors, no matter how difficult we are, we are a thousand times stronger than those ordinary people." As he spoke, he pointed to the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table.

"This table of food alone is enough to pay hundreds of workers, right?"

Without waiting for them to refute, Zhang Fengnian continued like a cannon: "Besides, His Royal Highness is not blindly protective of those ordinary people."

"Just over an hour ago, a merchant was falsely accused of withholding his wages, and His Royal Highness found out, and the worker who was falsely accused was similarly sentenced."

"It can be seen that His Royal Highness is right about things and not about people. As long as we abide by the law, His Royal Highness will treat merchants and ordinary people equally."

This matter, the businessman who does it again naturally knows about it.

If they didn't even know this, they wouldn't have been able to earn such a family business.

But even so, they still scoffed at Zhang Fengnian's words.

"It's just a top ten board, and for those Diao people, it doesn't hurt at all."

"This kind of thing is just a show for us, just to appease us, you really believe it."

"I don't care what happens to the false accused, I only know that someone was killed on the street, and the murderer is still at large, if you can't give us an explanation, absolutely not!"

"Good!" Zhang Fengnian said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about the use of money first. We are all businessmen, and everything can be discussed as long as there is interest."

"Then I want to ask you seniors, do you really think that you can fight His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness, but together with today's saints, you have driven away the ancient strange people who established the Ming Dynasty by Meng Yuan, and you have never been defeated in leading troops to fight, do you really want to be an enemy of such a person?"

The merchants in the middle of the private room were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

It's as if Zhang Fengnian said something very funny.

"I said Zhang Fengnian, even if you are touting for the king, you must have a limit, okay?"

"When it comes to leading troops into battle, we admit that His Royal Highness is indeed a remarkable figure."

Another merchant wiped tears from his eyes: "I have also heard that His Royal Highness is a genius and has extraordinary skills in skill."

After that, the attitude of the people gradually unified.

"But when it comes to business, His Royal Highness may not be so powerful, right?"

Although there are two examples, Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan.

However, in the eyes of these businessmen, it was Shen Wansan and the others who really worked.

As for Zhu Han, the British king, it just provides some convenience.

If they were replaced, they would definitely not be much worse than Shen Wansan.

Seeing these people rampant like this, Zhang Fengnian secretly sighed: "I'm sorry Lord Wang, it's me Zhang Fengnian who is incompetent and can't convince them."

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

Since these people are determined to go against Zhu Han, Zhang Fengnian is too lazy to make false promises with them.

He was about to get up and leave.

The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

A merchant dressed in silk and satin, slightly chubby, and smiling like Maitreya Buddha pushed the door in.

"Everyone, Boss Shen and Boss Zhou are here."

Although at this moment, Boss Shen and Boss Zhou in Yanjing City have not one thousand but eight hundred.

But when it comes to this occasion, everyone knows who it represents.

Naturally, he is the second richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty now.

Shen Wansan, Zhou Gushan.

Zhang Fengnian was about to leave, and when he heard the names of these two people, he stopped again.

"Why are they here, it's hard to ......" Thinking of it, Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan could also do something unfavorable to Zhu Han.

Zhang Fengnian felt that he must not leave so easily.

"Boss Shen is here, and it's shining!"

"I've seen Boss Shen."

"I've seen Boss Zhou."

The people in the private room smiled brighter than the other, like a room full of chrysanthemums.

Shen Wansan didn't put on a show, and hugged his fists one by one to return the salute. In comparison, Zhou Gushan's attitude was much more arrogant, but he bowed slightly in response.

Zhang Fengnian also mixed in the crowd and hugged his fists, without the enthusiasm of the past.

Although he was very grateful to Shen Wansan, if he really mixed with these people, it would also represent the pattern of Shen Wansan, and that was all.

If Shen Wansan was unlucky because of this incident, he would help within his ability to repay his previous kindness.

"Sit, sit down!" Shen Wansan sat on the main seat as a matter of course.

Zhou Gushan, who has always been at odds with Shen Wansan, rarely did not disagree with him this time, but sat beside him silently.

Zhang Fengnian this time, he can be regarded as seeing Shen Wansan's demeanor.

Ever since he entered the private room, the entire banquet had almost been under his control.

No matter who you talk to, you seem to be in your heart, and you know the situation of everyone present, and even the difficulties of the other party are clear.

Moreover, Shen Wansan is not empty talk, those who can help easily, will use the resources at hand to help the other party solve difficulties.

If you can't solve it yourself, you will also ask Zhou Gushan for help, or help the other party come up with an idea.

It feels like you're digging out your heart and lungs for everyone.

Zhang Fengnian was dumbfounded when he saw it, and he was straight in his heart.

No wonder Shen Wansan can become the richest man, just this ability to control people's hearts is enough for him to learn.

And the most important point, since Shen Wansan entered the door, he never said anything about the British king.

The merchants in this room were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they really couldn't open their mouths. Because every topic that Shen Wansan talked about was closely related to their business.
