On the fifth day after eating with Gao Yang and others, several policy tilt projects were launched in the local government, all of which were obtained by Gao Yang and other princesses.

This situation was not felt wrong at first, and everyone thought it was normal.

But when a large number of small businessmen were included in Gao Yang's command, the top businessmen of Datang couldn't sit still.

The reason why they can bully Gao Yang in business is that although Gao Yang and others have a deep background, they don't have enough background to support their huge ambitions.

But after Gao Yang and other princesses swallowed those small businessmen, it meant that their connections were officially popularized all over Datang and they had the largest connections.

Then the group of big businessmen and the general person in charge of the Datang Chamber of Commerce knew what the problem was, and hurried to visit Li Kuan together.

Three well-known Tang businessmen and the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the president is Li Kuan's former commercial manager of the Western Regions, Lin Zhang, came to visit together.

The four of them gave Wu Mei valuable gifts and made enough face.

Li Kuan received four people in the main hall, looking at the four people who were dressed in gorgeous service, Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, and said flatly: "If you have something to say, you don't have to hide it." ”

The three businessmen were surnamed He, Sheng, and Sun.

Now they are all in their fifties, and they are all top businessmen who own their own armies and lands abroad.

To put it mildly, they even have their own arms abroad.

Li Kuan looked at them, and his eyes couldn't help but glow with a cold light.

Shopkeeper Lin and the three of them glanced at each other, and the merchant surnamed He said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we feel the unfairness and the oppression from the court, and we are here to uphold justice for you today." ”

Li Kuan said lightly: "Well, tell me where you have encountered injustice." ”

"How did it be suppressed?"

Li Kuan's calm expression made the four shopkeepers tremble in their hearts.

They are now also powerful in the Tang Dynasty, and their power is also top-notch, they came to question, but Li Kuan was so calm, which made them wonder if Li Kuan wanted to be ruthless to them.

It was still Shopkeeper Lin who relied on his kindness with Li Kuan, and bravely spoke: "Your Highness, now many local projects have been tilted to the princesses by policies, and there has been collusion between officials and businessmen. ”

"Moreover, the princesses also annexed small merchants with great fanfare, seriously undermining the harmony of the market and the peaceful development of commerce."

Li Kuan nodded as he listened, but did not get angry.

After the shopkeeper Dai Lin finished speaking, in the expectant eyes of others, Li Kuan said lightly: "The princesses did not annex those small merchants. ”

"They're just taking over their caravans."

"Those small merchants' caravan shops all have shares in the harem girls, and the princess manages them on behalf of them, is there a problem?"

Shopkeeper Lin and the other four were stunned, they didn't expect this result.

What's wrong with that?

The daughter is in charge of her mother's shares, and the business cooperation is still inflated, no matter where you look at it, you can't crack down.

People are reasonable and legitimate.

However, the three big businessmen and the four of Lin Shopkeepers glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, but they still had to fight for their own interests.

The Sheng family businessman said stubbornly:

"Your Highness, those small merchants were annexed, and the commerce of the Tang Dynasty entered a stalemate, and now the overall business can be divided into three parts, we, the family, and the princesses."

"We are fighting a price war to grab the market for many products, and we are also fighting with each other on construction projects, and the same is true for technical research."

"If we continue like this, we'll lose both."

"In the long run, classes will be fixed, it will be more and more difficult for small businessmen to get ahead, and business development will stagnate."

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Kuan said helplessly: "There is no way, I can only look forward to the emergence of business wizards in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Li Kuan paused, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "At least now it is a three-legged stand, and there is no industrial monopoly, if the princesses don't end up, won't you swallow those small businessmen, occupy the overall market, and manipulate prices." ”

"After all, the families don't fight you too much."

"So I think it's a pretty good situation right now."

Li Kuan's straightforward words shocked the four people's bodies, and an unbelievable surge surged in their hearts, Li Kuan actually knew their thoughts.

According to their original idea, they worked together to annex small merchants, monopolize some industries, set their own prices, and grasp the pricing power of materials, so as to peek into the power of the state.

In this way, they can also prevent new merchants from appearing to replace their families.

As long as the first step of business monopoly is completed, it will take two generations for their family to become a multinational super-large business family.

It is also a family of the new era.

After all, they still have soldiers abroad.

But Li Kuan actually saw through their thoughts.

A sense of powerlessness rose in the hearts of Shopkeeper Lin and the others.

This is the reason why they are afraid of Li Kuan, every time they want to make a new way of evolution in business, as long as it does not meet Li Kuan's vision, then Li Kuan will interrupt them, forcibly break them back, and if some can't come back, then Li Kuan will send them away.

"I know you've joined forces within the Chamber of Commerce, so I can only find someone to come in and disrupt the situation."

"After all, if there is a new force, the family will not unite with you."

Li Kuan's cold voice was like the cold of the cold moon in winter, directly freezing their souls.

Shopkeeper Lin and the other four didn't know how to answer this sentence.

After the awkward atmosphere existed for a while, the merchant surnamed Sun spoke weakly: "Your Highness, you have already guessed our ambitions, and we will not hide them, I just want to ask you now, how will you deal with us next." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the merchant surnamed Sun felt that what he said might not be right, and hurriedly said, "It should be what you want to do with us." ”

Li Kuan looked at the four people in front of him with sincere fear, and said with a smile: "How can I deal with you, don't worry, I won't touch you, what should you do." ”

"After all, you're a good knife in my eyes."

"However, there is one sentence I said in advance, if one day you are defeated by later generations, it is best to end up decently."

"As you said, the commercial market cannot be monopolized, which is not conducive to development."

The four of them felt suffocated.

Li Kuan's voice was too calm, which was a sign of not taking them in his eyes at all.

They are not convinced, very unconvinced.

But there is no way.

"Yes, if one day we are defeated by the latecomers, we will exit with dignity."

"But are you sure we're going to fail?"

A flash of arrogance flashed in the eyes of the Sheng family merchant.

Self-made, he didn't believe he could fail.

Li Kuan smiled slightly, didn't care about his arrogance, and said calmly: "You won't fail, what about your son, what about your grandson, what about your great-grandson." ”

"The family game is never able to distinguish the winner overnight, it is all counted in ten years, and the result is witnessed by a hundred years of planning."

"It's good to have one result in twenty years."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the old people of the family how many high-rise buildings they have witnessed in their hundred-year-old years."

This time, Li Kuan's words were full of warnings.

The shopkeeper Lin and the three businessmen were very happy to hear his words.

They were not afraid that Li Kuan would target them and warn them, but they were afraid that Li Kuan would be indifferent.

Having emotions means that they still value them, and having no emotions at all means that they are really dispensable.

Relieved, they hurriedly asked:

"Your Highness, we are willing to make knives for you, but sometimes we are afraid that you will break us for the sake of your offspring."

These words reveal the fear of the merchants.

And, of course, once again about their ambitions.

Li Kuan smiled indifferently and said casually: "Then you can continue to get stronger, while making me a knife, you will grow into a behemoth who can resist me, anyway, I don't care,"

"In my eyes, it's really not that difficult to destroy you,"

"Even if you have mercenaries and independent territory abroad."

Li Kuan's words were full of arrogance, and the four of them did not dare to resist.
