"How?"

Hearing this, Li Qing's face was overjoyed.

"This ......"

Chen Muqing pretended to hesitate.

"If Chen Gongzi has any questions, just say it, as long as you can get the secret recipe for soap, Li Qing can help,"

How could Li Qing, the old fritter, not see Chen Muqing's intentions, and didn't want to talk nonsense.

"Haha, there is a ship bought from the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, I wanted to operate transportation, but the business has not been going well recently, and it is useless, so I want to sell it......"

Chen Muqing hesitated to say his words, looking very embarrassed.

"Merchant ships? How many silver taels? ”

As soon as Li Qing heard that it was a merchant ship of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, the quality of the ship would definitely not be any worse, so he asked the price.

"Fifty thousand, oh, not forty thousand taels."

"Yes, I'll send someone to look at the ship later, as long as it's okay, I'll buy this merchant ship." Li Qing was now in a hurry to come up with the secret recipe for soap, so he responded without thinking about it.

"Shopkeeper Li is a cheerful person, this Qianfu backyard is where they make soap, and there are many people guarding it every day when it is shipped, and it is difficult to steal in, but there is a person under my hand who is good at hiding, I can send him to sneak into this Qianfu backyard when I turn around, and then steal the soap making method and materials."

Chen Muqing talked eloquently and told the way to steal the secret recipe.

"Gentleman on the beam?"

Li Qing smiled dumbly, he didn't expect Chen Muqing to come up with such an inferior method, but after thinking about it, only this method could reveal the secret recipe of soap in a short time.

"How sure are you?"

"You can rest assured, within half a month at the latest, the secret recipe of this soap will definitely be in your hands."

Chen Muqing rubbed his hands and said very seriously.

"Okay, as you said, after I get the secret recipe, I will be grateful."

Li Qing hit it off and responded at that time.

Chen Muqing said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, there is a reluctant invitation below." ”

Li Qing frowned, why is this son of Taishou doing so much?

But he still held back his displeasure and asked, "Chen Gongzi, please speak." ”

"I have admired Prince Hong since I was a child, I don't know if I can let Lord Hong come to the restaurant opened in Xia to have a light meal?"

Hearing Chen Muqing's words, Li Qing showed a disgusted expression and said, "Gongzi Chen, King Hong is delicate and noble, how can he just walk around the palace casually?" What do you ask for...... It's over. ”

Seeing Li Qing's expression, Chen Muqing was like a thunderbolt, and hurriedly apologized: "Please forgive me for the shopkeeper Li, I also admire the prince and want to see the prince's demeanor, since I can't do it, I naturally have nothing else to ask for!" ”

Chen Muqing's attitude looked very sincere, and Li Qing said: "It's not difficult to see the prince, if you can handle the soap matter properly, I will invite you to come to the prince's flower viewing party in a month." ”

Chen Muqing was overjoyed: "No problem, it's up to me!" ”

……

It's night.

Inside the room of Mingyue Tower.

Sun Wu sat at the table nervously, the candle in front of him flickering, which eased the cold atmosphere of the whole room a lot.

After a while, a figure cautiously rushed in from the outside.

"Who?!"

Sun Wu stood up abruptly and pulled out the long sword beside him to protect him.

"Brother Sun, it's me."

The figure appeared under the candlelight, and it was Zheng He, who had been missing for a long time!

"Shopkeeper Zheng, why are you back!"

Sun Wu's eyes widened, he didn't expect Zheng He, who had absconded, to come back.

Zheng He showed a mouthful of yellowed teeth and said, "I was unwilling, so I came back." ”

"Are you going to settle accounts with that Qianfeng?"

Sun Wu sighed, he didn't think that Zheng He was embarrassed to fight with Qianfeng again!

"Otherwise, I was so harmed by Qianfeng this time that I almost lost my family fortune, how can I rest assured if I don't seek revenge from him?"

Zheng He showed a grim smile, as if he was carried away by hatred.

"Did you buy the secret recipe for that soap?"

Suddenly, Zheng He asked.

A flash of doubt flashed in Sun Wu's eyes, and he immediately said, "That's right, I've already bought it." ”

"Give me the secret recipe, I want to make a lot of soap and make Qianfeng's business yellow!"

Sun Wu immediately shook his head and said, "No, your mass production of soap is also ruining my business, and I can't give it to you." ”

"If you want to get soap, then you can go to Qianfeng and buy it."

Sun Wu is not willing to give Zheng He a secret recipe, which is the key to whether he can have a voice in the Xihai Chamber of Commerce in the future.

In the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, businessmen are ranked by wealth, and the more money they have, the more power they have to speak, and the more noble their status.

Sun Wu and Zheng He are both businessmen at the bottom of the Xihai Chamber of Commerce, but even so, their net worth is as much as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

"Okay, you Sun Wu, you and I came to Nanzhou to expand the territory together, don't you even give this little bit of brotherhood!"

Zheng He looked at Sun Wu with resentment.

In the final analysis, businessmen are eager for profit, and although Sun Wu and Zheng He are partners, they fly separately when disaster comes.

After some arguments, Zheng He walked out with resentment, Sun Wu was even more worried in his heart, this secret recipe had been known by many people, he could no longer stay in Zhangxian for a long time, and he would return to Xihai to save his life.

made up his mind, and overnight, Sun Wu left Zhangxian with the coils on his body.

And the people who followed him also informed Li Qing of Sun Wu's departure from Zhangxian.

Li Qing, who was sitting in the courtyard of King Hong's Mansion, also shook his head and muttered: "This Sun Wu ran fast enough, but unfortunately he didn't get the secret recipe for soap from him!" ”

The person had already run away, and Li Qing didn't bother to find someone to arrest him back.

"Master, the price of that soap has suddenly dropped!"

His men trotted in, and the news came that the price of soap had dropped.

"How much?"

Li Qing asked curiously.

Such a good soap business, how can the house suddenly reduce the price.

The subordinate stretched out a finger and said, "Now the soap is only sold for one hundred and fifty yuan!" ”

"Reduced profits so much?!"

Li Qing was surprised, he didn't understand what Qianfeng was trying to do with this operation!

"But this price is only available if you participate in the full pre-sale."

"That is, you can pre-order a certain amount of soap in advance, you must pay a deposit in full, and the delivery time will be one month!"

The next person's words suddenly made Li Qing fall into deep thought.

"Make a deposit for the full amount, and then give the goods a few months later?"

Li Qing suddenly understood the truth, and he sighed: "What a Qianfeng, what a ghost talent in business!" ”

"He actually came up with such a ruthless trick!"

Qianfeng's trick surprised Li Qing.

This method pulled together the people who wanted to buy soap in Zhangxian County, and asked the buyers to pay the money in advance to sign the deed, which seemed normal, but in fact it firmly trapped them!

The pre-sale price is lower than the normal sales price, even if you wait for a month, it is nothing more than a loss of time, but every piece of soap on the market is cheaper by 50 yuan, and no one is not tempted by this big profit!

With one move, Qianfeng is equivalent to monopolizing the soap business in Zhangxian County in the next month.

After pacing back and forth, Li Qing instructed his subordinates: "You go to Chen Muqing and urge him to finish the matter quickly!" ”
