At this time, Zhang Tianci had already said the third article on stage, but he was slurping, as if he didn't want to say it.

The crowd below held their breath, not knowing what his third would say. But at this time, Shi Zhenxiang and his apprentices couldn't sit still, and they came up with a backup plan.

The backup plan is simple and straightforward, which is to give money. The construction team has a good impression of Zhang Tianci, and the backers behind the Qinglou entertainment industry are unwilling to make a choice, and these two industries are at most neutral, which is difficult to buy.

Therefore, only other industries can be bought, such as: clothing industry - cloth and satin village; Medical industry - medical halls and pharmacies; Transport tourism - carriage and horse shop foot boats. Note that there is no gambling industry.

Although the gambling industry is not illegal, it is despised by all businesses, so there will never be a representative of a gambling house in the Chamber of Commerce.

When Xiao Feng knew about this, he was very emotional, the ancients all knew that among the yellow gambling drugs, Huang was the least harmful!

This backup plan is too expensive and can't be blatantly done on the table, so Shi Zhenxiang originally just prepared it just in case. Now that Zhang Tianci's speech has subdued the construction industry, the entertainment industry of Qinglou has obviously loosened, and it will definitely not work if he doesn't spend money.

So Shi Zhenxiang's apprentices kept running around the stage, handing notes to people in the other three industries, with the seal of Taibaiju on them, stating that Shi Zhenxiang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, owed someone a few taels of silver.

This IOU is very elaborate and inspired by the fraud of the imperial examination. The biggest problem in the fraud of the imperial examination is the question of whether to give money or win the examination first.

If the examinee gives the money first, in case the examiner is not good and the examinee does not pass the exam, the examinee will have to risk spending money in vain. Because the examiner will not leave evidence for the candidate's receipt, that is not corruption, that is life.

And if the candidate wins the examination first, and then gives the examiner money, in case the candidate fails to pay the debt, the examiner is helpless, and he does not dare to denounce it, because the examiner's crime is heavier than the candidate. It's hard to be bad in secret, because since you have passed the exam, you are also an official, who is afraid of whom.

Therefore, in order to ensure the interests of both examiners and candidates, in the thousand-year-old imperial examination system, a method that can be called the crystallization of wisdom was born: future IOUs.

The format of the future IOU is as follows: Zhang Danian, a certain imperial examiner/jinshi in a certain year, borrowed 500 taels of silver from a certain (examiner's name), and paid it off that year, and never lost the debt.

The beauty of this future IOU is that if the candidate passes the examination for a certain year or a jinshi, then the IOU becomes a legally valid IOU, and it is written as a loan, which is reasonable and legal. But if the candidate fails to pass the test, it means that the examiner is not strong and should not give money, and this IOU will just become invalid.

Because since you didn't pass the exam, even if the name is the same, but this person is not a person or a jinshi in a certain year, and there are many people with the same name in the world, this IOU naturally has no legal effect.

At this time, Shi Zhenxiang's apprentices stuffed the bribed object with this kind of future IOU.

Shi Zhenxiang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce who was elected in a certain year, borrowed 200 taels of silver from a certain person, and paid it off that year, and never paid off the debt.

Those who received the note, glanced at the number on the paper, and the festival immediately faltered a little. Anyway, I can't choose myself, and which of these two people is the president has little to do with his own industry, and it's a bastard if he doesn't make money.

These people nodded and smiled at Shi Zhenxiang, saying that they would definitely vote for him if they received it. Only then did Shi Zhenxiang relax and wipe the sweat on his face.

Judging from the situation, Zhang Tianci should have received the support of representatives of the three major industries of grain business, construction industry, and Qinglou entertainment industry; Shi Zhenxiang has received support from four industries: catering, clothing, medical care, and transportation and tourism. Because Zhang Tianci's three industries are relatively large, Shi Zhenxiang's four industries cannot be said to be far ahead, but at least they have a great chance of winning.

Zhang Tianci is not blind, these people are scurrying around like rats, of course he can see it. Seeing that the situation might be unfavorable to him, Zhang Tianci finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and read out the third declaration that Xiao Feng wrote to him.

"Third: If I am elected president, anyone who votes for me will get a free word test from Wen Xuan Zhenren, seek good fortune and avoid evil, make a fortune and avoid disasters, and the Tao is like a god, there is only one chance!"

The audience was boiling. The future IOU of two hundred taels of silver was not fragrant in an instant. Everyone knows that Zhang Tianci, a guy who is about to go bankrupt, after Xiao Feng measured his words, he soared all the way, annexed Tan Xinren, and became the most famous businessman in the capital.

Is he worse than him? Is it frustrating than him? I just don't have his shit luck!

This is the inner monologue of the vast majority of businessmen. In the face of such a huge opportunity, two hundred taels of silver is a fart!

It must be known that Xiao Feng basically doesn't test other people's words now, and those who can enjoy his service are either Emperor Jiajing, or their beloved relatives and friends, and everyone else has to add money!

Therefore, everyone turned against each other, not to mention the three major industries that originally supported Zhang Tianci, shouting to squeeze forward, demanding an immediate vote. As soon as the final voting results came out, Shi Zhenxiang was defeated, it was a really miserable defeat, and the president election over the years, including the time Tan Xinren came to power, there was no such disparity in scores.

Zhang Tianci had tears in his eyes, both excited and moved. He knew that there were more than 30 delegates present, and the debt of more than 30 words was something that Xiao Feng wanted to repay for him with his spirit and body.

He became the president at this time, and the first person who thought of him after his success was not his mother and daughter, but wanted to report the good news to his eldest brother quickly.

At this time, his eldest brother was in the lobby of the restaurant opposite, looking at the female chef with some.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem", Zhang Yunqing seemed to be choked on tea, and his face was about to turn red before Xiao Feng came back to his senses. Xiao Feng was not embarrassed, and he took a piece of fat intestine very chicly, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Well, this crispy bamboo shoots and fat sausage fried are a bit interesting. What's the matter with you saying you can't get a cook? Is it because business is bad and you don't have money to hire someone? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, but didn't speak, the female cook couldn't help it, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and her oily face was full of anger: "It's not because it's too white!" Shi Zhenxiang is my mother's defeated general, relying on being a man, relying on the name of the god of food. The business is getting bigger, and I want to crush my family, what kind of Taibai Twin Towers are built, I bah! ”

Xiao Feng listened to the girl's smoke, the more he listened, the more he loved to listen, but the girl's language was logical, and she really didn't dare to compliment. He had no choice but to look at the shopkeeper for help.

The shopkeeper originally thought that he couldn't talk about it to a few diners. At this time, seeing that his daughter had already started the fire, he was also aggrieved, and seeing that Xiao Feng still liked to listen, he picked up the wine jug, poured Xiao Feng a glass of wine, and patted his daughter's back again, signaling her not to be so angry.

"Guest officer, this matter has to start with the lady below. My father-in-law, that is, her father, is a famous chef in Beijing, she also likes to cook since she was a child, although her father did not teach her seriously, but she has also learned her father's full set of skills.

Her father also has a big apprentice, who has a true inheritance, and was ready to let him inherit the mantle, but who expected that when she was sixteen years old, something big happened. ”
