Chapter 199: The Situation of the Dingtian Trading House in the Empire
I have to say that the demon beast hot pot from the other world tastes quite good, and Qin Shan and Tang Jie have a beautiful meal.
After the big meal, Qin Shan said to Tang Jie: "In two days, I will start the Hundred Sects Martial Arts, I want to prepare, go to the pharmacy to buy a batch of medicinal materials, are you interested in joining us?"
"Boss, you want to buy medicinal materials, our family's Dingtian Trading House also has some industries in the Shengshi Empire, if you need medicinal materials, I will take you to get them, and give them all to the boss for free!"
"Dingtian Commercial Bank actually has an industry in the prosperous empire, it seems that your strength is not simple. Qin Shan said with a smile.
"It's not mixed up in the Shengtian Dynasty, it's just a mouthful of food, the business of the Shengshi Empire is taken care of by my third uncle, boss, I'll take you over to see if there are any medicinal materials you need." Tang Jie waved his hand and said.
"Okay, then I'll go and have a look. β
Subsequently, Qin Shan followed Tang Jie to a not prosperous street in the imperial capital, and found the location of Dingtian Commercial Bank on the corner of the street.
The faΓ§ade of Dingtian Commercial Bank is not large, and it is obvious that they are not in a good situation here.
After walking into the store, Tang Jie shouted loudly: "Third uncle, are you busy now?"
Tang Jie's third uncle, Tang Yexing, suddenly turned around, and when he saw Tang Jie, he immediately smiled, "Xiaojie, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have become thin again!"
"It's not thin, it's still like that! But the third uncle is really thin. Tang Jie quipped.
The two hugged each other, and then Tang Yexing inadvertently saw Qin Shan's face change suddenly.
"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Prince!" Tang Yexing hurriedly came over and saluted Qin Shan, "Your Highness, I don't know that Your Highness is coming, please forgive me." β
As a core member of Dingtian Commercial Bank, Tang Yexing naturally knew Qin Shan, or all members of the royal family knew each other, which was their foundation.
"There's no need to be so restrained, I just heard that there is a property of Dingtian Commercial Bank here, so I came to take a look. Qin waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Third uncle, the boss needs a batch of medicinal herbs, if we have it here, we can give it to the boss. Tang Jie echoed.
"What boss is not the boss, he is the crown prince of our Shengtian Dynasty, you are really too big and not too small, hurry up and apologize to His Highness!" Tang Yexing said with a straight face.
Qin Shan smiled slightly and explained: "Tang Jie is now my little brother, so there is nothing sinful about calling him like this. β
Tang Yexing looked at Tang Jie with some surprise, and finally glared at Tang Jie, then looked at Qin Shan respectfully and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what medicinal materials you want, if I have them here, I will definitely do my best to help you get them." β
Qin Shan nodded, then took out a list and said, "I was worried about forgetting before, so I made a list, there are dozens of medicinal materials, if you have it, it would be better, if you don't have it, it doesn't matter." β
Tang Yexing took the medicinal herbs, nodded solemnly and responded, "No problem, I will definitely do my best." β
After the matter of medicinal materials was handed over to Tang Yexing, Qin Shan observed the situation here, the flow of people was very small, he talked to Tang Yexing here for a long time, but he didn't see anyone come in, and he was very puzzled.
"Tang Yexing, although the shop of your Dingtian Commercial Bank is not in the bustling central street, it looks a little miserable now, and no one has entered during the time I have been talking to you. β
Tang Yexing sighed, and said helplessly: "This is the Shengshi Empire, without the support of the Shengtian Dynasty, our Dingtian Commercial House is not even a fart here, His Royal Highness knows when he looks at our shop, not to mention the location, the scope of the faΓ§ade is also small, and it is also suppressed by various local commercial houses, it is good to be able to barely survive." β
"Third uncle, I said a long time ago, instead of being bullied here, it is better to stay in the Shengtian Dynasty honestly, there is the blessing of the Shengtian Dynasty, it is much stronger than this, I understand why the third uncle is still so persistent. Tang Jie said puzzled.
"Xiaojie, if you are complacent, you will never make progress, and you can go further by making money from other countries, because this is conducive to the development of the Shengtian Dynasty, once the Shengtian Dynasty becomes strong, we will also have stronger protection, so even if this road is difficult, we must go on. Tang Yexing said.
Qin Shan patted Tang Jie's shoulder and said with a smile: "Tang Jie, see it, your third uncle is the real old Jianghu, your Dingtian Commercial Bank is already the richest man in the Shengtian Dynasty, and now you can only go further by earning money from other countries, you have to learn a little." β
Tang Jie was still at a loss, but he still nodded.
At this moment, several strong men with strong bodies walked into the store.
"Boss Tang, it's time to pay this month's protection fee. After the strong man at the head came in, he directly asked Tang Yexing for money.
"One thousand taels of gold, I'm ready. Tang Yexing directly took out a thousand taels of gold from the space ring and handed it to a few strong men with a smile.
Obviously, this kind of thing has been taken for granted, and if you want to mix here, Tang Yexing knows that you have to pay it.
However, the strong man at the front shook his head and said, "One thousand taels of gold is too little, ten thousand taels of gold every month from this month on!"
"10,000 taels, big black brother, you should know the situation of our small shop, it is impossible to make a profit of 10,000 taels of gold every month, and we will lose money if we pay so much, which is unreasonable!" Tang Yexing said with a frown.
"In a word, you must either pay the money or you will leave! But even if you want to roll, you must pay 30,000 taels of gold before you can leave. The strong man led by him said coldly, not giving Tang Yexing any face.
"I'm grass! You are so arrogant, you can just collect protection money, and now you are asking for a sky-high price, and it is unreasonable!" Tang Jie couldn't stand it anymore, and pointed at a few people and roared.
"Who are you kid? How dare you talk to us like this, let's die!" the strong man snorted coldly, gesturing to make a move.
"Xiao Jie, you go to the back, I'll deal with this matter!" Tang Yexing hurriedly grabbed Tang Jie, forcibly pulled him to the back, and then looked at the strong man, "Brother Dahei, I want to see your hall master." β
"See our hall master, hehe, you don't have that qualification yet! Decide, either pay 10,000 taels of gold every month, or pay 30,000 taels of gold to get out, which one to choose?" The strong man called Da Hei looked at Tang Yexing with a threatening expression and said.
"I'll be paralyzed!" Tang Jie couldn't help it, and jumped up and kicked at the big black.
Although Tang Jie cultivated for the sixth rank of the general, but the big black cultivation had already reached the eighth rank of the general, and when Tang Jie attacked, the strong man instantly swung out his right fist.
With a bang, Tang Jie was directly shocked back, and his right leg was numb by the shock.
"Since you kid is looking for death, Lao Tzu will satisfy you today!" Da Hei pulled out the big knife on his waist and slashed directly at Tang Jie.
Although Tang Yexing is Tang Jie's third uncle, his cultivation is even weaker, and he only has a military general, so he can't stop Dahei's attack at all.
"Xiaojie, run away!" Tang Yexing shouted in horror.
However, Tang Jie's right leg was numb and it was too late to escape.
At this time, the blade in Da Hei's hand was still a palm away from slashing Tang Jie.
