"Third brother, why did the Beijing Chamber of Commerce come to you? What do they do? Xu Minghao saw that Xu Minghan's face changed, and he didn't look so happy, as if he didn't welcome the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce at all, so he immediately asked curiously.

Xu Minghan explained to Xu Minghao that the Beijing Chamber of Commerce is an organization similar to a tooth shop and a gang spontaneously formed by businessmen in the capital, and in fact, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce is in the hands of three imperial merchants, including the salt merchant Wu family, the silk merchant Yan family and the wine merchant Bai family, but there are many shops under the name of the three, as long as it is a profitable business, they will intervene, thinking that the four imperial merchants of "Ren Wu Yanbai" almost controlled all the business channels of the Jin Dynasty.

Xu Minghan's identity as the young master of the Ren family is no longer a secret, when the Ren family had an accident, these three families did not take the opportunity to seize the Ren family's shop, so Xu Minghan did not have much of a good impression of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce because of them.

"Third brother, do you see this person?" Xu Minghao asked him if he didn't know how to do business, but on the first day of the sugar shop, people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce came to the door, and when he saw that his third brother was unhappy, he felt that it was not a good thing.

"See, of course!" Xu Minghan smiled softly, but there was only coldness in his eyes, although he was young, he was not so easy to coax.

So, Xu Minghan directly asked people to hold a banquet in Penglai Restaurant, and invited the people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce to meet him in the restaurant.

Soon, Xu Minghan and the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce entered the Penglai Restaurant one after the other, just one glance, Xu Minghan knew the identity of these people, there were three people, and coincidentally, the three people were the third-class shopkeepers of the Wu family, the Yan family and the Bai family in the shops in the capital, it seems that these three are agreed.

Although the three of them looked respectful and polite with a smile on their faces after seeing Xu Minghan, in fact, with inquisition and contempt in their eyes, Xu Minghan didn't think so, but met the three shopkeepers with the courtesy of the younger generations, and they were also respectful and polite between words.

"Xu Sangongzi, although you are young, but I heard that the general's wife has handed over this newly opened sugar shop to you to take care of, I don't know if you are interested in joining our Beijing Chamber of Commerce, once you join, the things in your shop can be sold to all states and counties through the convenience of the Chamber of Commerce, and then the third prince will be able to have a lot of money in his account without going out!" Among them, the shopkeeper of the Wu family looked at Xu Minghan slightly and said.

This time, the head of the family only sent them to see Xu Minghan, it was completely for the sake of Xu Junze's face as a general, don't look at them as just a third-class shopkeeper, they are also figures with heads and faces in the business circle of the capital, come to see a half-sized son, it is all to give him face, the Ren family has long since declined and disappeared, Xu Minghan, the young master of the Ren family, is not worth anything at all.

Xu Minghan just pretended to be a young man and said blankly: "My shop is so small, and it only opened today, so you agree to let me join the Beijing Chamber of Commerce?" Why? Is it so easy to join the Beijing Chamber of Commerce? ”

Hearing Xu Minghan ask this, the expressions on the faces of the three people changed slightly, it is naturally not so easy to join the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, it can even be said that it is very difficult, if the businessmen who join cannot create benefits for the Chamber of Commerce, then they will soon be abandoned, and they are also appointed by their respective family heads to come today, as for what Wu Yanbai's three family heads think, they are not clear.

"Xu Sangongzi, this joining the Chamber of Commerce only has great benefits, there is no harm, don't you want to make more money?" The shopkeeper of the Yan family said with some coaxing.

Xu Minghan didn't think they were so kind, but he still said with an ignorant face: "Of course I want to make more money, but I still have to go back and ask my mother about this, I can't be the master!" ”

Seeing that Xu Minghan really had to ask his mother what he had to do like a child, the three shopkeepers gave each other a look, everyone in the capital who has a little brain knows the benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Shuran is just a housewife, how can there be silver and not earn.

Xu Minghan really went back and told Lin Shuran about it, Lin Shuran knew about the Beijing Chamber of Commerce as early as when he opened the fireworks kitchen, and at that time, the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce also found the shopkeeper Jin and used various methods to want him to join the association, but the prerequisite for joining the club was to take out the recipe for braised pork and sell it in the state capitals in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and the fireworks kitchen could only get two percent of the profit, and the remaining eighty percent went to the Chamber of Commerce.

Of course Lin Shuran would not agree, she asked the shopkeeper Jin to reject the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, but then the fireworks kitchen was suppressed by various exclusions, and in the end, Lin Youxing secretly solved the matter, and also let the people of the chamber of commerce know that the real owner of the fireworks kitchen is not easy to mess with.

"Joining the Chamber of Commerce can indeed use their connections and business to expand their business scope and earn a lot of money in a short period of time, but there are great drawbacks in the Chamber of Commerce, their real purpose is to make your advantages, unique, and secret recipes finally become theirs, and then seek greater and more benefits from them, if you don't want to be used by them at that time, it will inevitably be abandoned by them, this time I think someone must have seen the huge benefits that the sugar shop is about to produce and moved their minds, to say that you join the Beijing Chamber of Commerce!" Lin Shuran analyzed Xu Minghan.

What Lin Shuran said was also known to Xu Minghan in advance, and the things in his sugar shop now are exclusive secret recipes, the only one in the world, as long as the secret recipe is not leaked, he will not worry about no business, but the people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce who smelled the smell will never give up.

"Mother, then I will directly refuse the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce!" Xu Minghan originally did not plan to join the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, he was confident that he could make his business bigger and stronger with this small sugar shop alone, but it was only a matter of time.

Lin Shuran thought for a while and said to him: "It seems that we are too unkind to refuse directly, after all, they took the initiative to come to the door, which seems to give us a lot of face, so let's write you a contract document for cooperation, if the people from the Chamber of Commerce can agree, then we will consider joining them." ”

Xu Minghan nodded, he was standing next to Lin Shuran when he wrote the cooperation document, and when Lin Shuran finished writing, he read it carefully, and there was a light of surprise in his eyes, but he had a feeling that the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce would probably jump in anger when they saw this document.

So the next day, Xu Minghan invited yesterday's three shopkeepers to meet at Penglai Restaurant, and took out the document written by Lin Shuran, and said to them with a smile: "My mother said that as long as the people of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce agree to this cooperation document, my family's sugar shop and fireworks kitchen can cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce!" ”

Collaborative instruments? The faces of the three shopkeepers were full of doubts, in fact, they had long known that the owner behind the fireworks kitchen was Lin Shuran, the daughter of the Taifu, about four years ago, they wanted to invite the fireworks chef to join the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, but they accidentally annoyed the Taifu Lin Youxing, so they gave up.
