Chapter 43: The Banquet of the Aristocracy

"How is the matter of the Yuan Rong crossbow?" Chu Junyan walked over and asked.

"Well, this card is yours. Dongfang Wei mysteriously squeezed his eyes and took out a card.

The card takes on a purple-gold color and can store gold coins inside, similar to a bank card on Earth.

Chu Junyan felt that it was quite magical, took the Zijin card with excellent texture, and asked, "How much money is in it?"

After all, it was the first pot of gold that he came to the Tang Dynasty and harvested eight catties, so of course he would care about it.

"Guess?" Dongfang Wei said with a smile, he was sure that Chu Junyan would be satisfied.

"300,000 or 400,000 gold coins?" Chu Junyan thought for a few seconds.

In fact, the cost of the Yuan Rong crossbow is not expensive, only 300,000 or 400,000 gold coins, which are enough to equip an entire army of 100,000 people.

"Guess wrong, are you underestimating the value of the Yuan Rong crossbow or the ability of our Jinding Chamber of Commerce?" Dongfang Wei stretched out a finger and said with a smug smile: "Your purple gold card is the most honorable gold card on the market in the Tang Dynasty, and it is usually used by high-ranking officials and nobles." There's ...... in it A million gold coins!"

"So many?" Chu Junyan was shocked.

The Jinding Chamber of Commerce is worthy of the Jinding Chamber of Commerce, and it is really dark enough.

Dare to ask the military of the Tang Dynasty for so much money, isn't this blackmail?

"It's just a deposit, and we've signed a contract with the military. Yuanrong crossbows, including crossbow arrows, are war consumables, especially crossbow arrows. In the future, it will be handed over to our Jinding Chamber of Commerce to do, and the deposit will be a total of one million gold coins. According to the previous agreement, you should be given 600,000 gold coins. ”

"Then why is there a million in the gold card?" Chu Junyan asked strangely.

The Yuanrong crossbow is indeed a consumable, and it is impossible to use it for a long time, let alone on the battlefield.

Follow-up production and supply are a lot of money.

A businessman deserves to be a businessman, and in this way, relying on the Yuanrong crossbow alone can make money continuously.

The premise is that there are no new weapons that can replace the Yuan Rong crossbow.

Otherwise, it is okay to sit and collect money, Chu Junyan did not think of this before.

Dongfang Wei smiled and hooked his shoulders with Chu Junyan: "There is a party held by our Jinding Chamber of Commerce tonight, do you want to come and sit together?" This party can also be said to be a gathering of nobles in the imperial capital. The extra 400,000 gold coins were given to you by my father. Tonight, he wants to meet you, too. ”

There is another point that Dongfang Wai did not tell Chu Junyan, when the cooperation between the Jinding Chamber of Commerce and the military is announced tonight, I am afraid that many nobles and celebrities in the imperial capital want to meet Chu Junyan.

In fact, just letting people know that Chu Junyan is the demonic boy newly recruited by the Chunshan Sect this year is enough to make a sensation.

The protagonist of tonight's aristocratic gathering is not the Jinding Chamber of Commerce, but Chu Junyan.

"Okay, then I'll go back and ask for a leave. Chu Junyan's eyes rolled.

The gathering of the nobles, that is quite interesting, not to mention that the president of the Jinding Chamber of Commerce wants to see him.

Let Dongfang wait for him at the mountain gate of the Chunshan Sect, and Chu Junyan returned to Li Feng.

found Fu Xiayue and said it, and she agreed very boldly.

With the box containing the blueprints for the design of the new weapon, Chu Junyan walked towards the place where Dongfang Wei was waiting for him.

The president of the Jinding Chamber of Commerce will not want to see him for no reason.

Especially when he learned that the Yuan Rong crossbow could continue to generate money in the hands of the Jinding Chamber of Commerce, Chu Junyan understood the meaning of the word merchant.

The fact that the Jinding Chamber of Commerce can become the three major chambers of commerce of the Tang Dynasty is really not in vain.

At tonight's aristocratic gathering, Chu Junyan needs to be cautious, lest he be sold and help others count the money.

......

The banquet of the Jinding Chamber of Commerce tonight invited almost half of the celebrities and nobles in the imperial capital.

Silk costumes, gold and treasures, all kinds of gorgeous and expensive carriages parked at the door of the banquet venue.

When Chu Junyan got down from the car and Dongfang Wai, they couldn't help but admire.

It is worthy of the banquet of the celebrity circle of the imperial capital, and the magnificence of this venue alone seems to light up a small half of the sky.

"Let's go. ”

Dongfang Wai and Chu Junyan walked towards the banquet, and he told Chu Junyan that there are still many noble daughters who are here today.

......

"The one who came in with the third child is Chu Junyan, right?"

Two young men dressed in aristocratic costumes leaned against the railing on the second floor, looking at the two young figures who walked in from the main entrance of the banquet below.

These two are the eldest brother and second brother of Dongfang Wai, Dongfang Gaochao and Dongfang Siyuan.

Originally, Dongfang Gaochao and Dongfang Siyuan were responsible for part of the affairs of the Jinding Chamber of Commerce, but suddenly I heard that there was a great hero in the Jinding Chamber of Commerce, and it turned out to be the younger brother Dongfang Wei, who did not want to make progress.

After some inquiry, it turned out that Dongfangwei's credit was to help the Jinding Chamber of Commerce win a large order from the military.

The design of the weapon of the Yuan Rong crossbow has been seen by Dongfang Gaochao and Dongfang Siyuan, and it is indeed very powerful.

As a result, the profit brought by the Yuan Rong crossbow to the Jinding Chamber of Commerce this year is probably more than tens of millions of gold coins.

The most important thing is that the Jinding Chamber of Commerce has completely established its position as a supplier in the military with the Yuanrong crossbow, and this time it has suppressed the other two major chambers of commerce.

"I didn't expect it, our third brother is not a simple character, he has always been disguised deep enough. Dongfang Siyuan said with a smile.

"You think highly of him, if it weren't for the design of the Yuanrong crossbow provided by that Chu Junyan, he would only be able to live in the Jinhong Courtyard. Dongfang Gao disdainful, if he can also get a copy of the design drawings of the Yuanrong crossbow, how can the credit be surrounded by Dongfang.

Dongfang Siyuan stopped talking, he knew that this eldest brother was very conceited. Dongfang Siyuan's gaze fell on Chu Junyan's back, and what was really valuable was not the design drawings of Yuan Rong's crossbow, but this person.

The design of the Yuan Rong crossbow is indeed ingenious and strong, and Dongfang Siyuan does not think that the potential of the young Chu Junyan can only stop there.

He also knew that today's banquet was a celebration banquet announcing the cooperation between the Jinding Chamber of Commerce and the military on the one hand, and on the other hand, his father wanted to see Chu Junyan.

......

"Father, this is Chu Junyan. ”

Dongfang Wei took Chu Junyan to Dongfang Shang, who was laughing and talking with others at that time.

It was Dongfang Shang who held the banquet today, and his every move was naturally watched by many people.

Therefore, Chu Junyan, who stood in front of Dongfang Shang, will also receive attention.

This unfamiliar face appeared in everyone's field of vision, and many people were curious about his identity.

"Hello President. Chu Junyan said.

"Young and promising, it's really handsome when I see it today!" Dongfang Shang laughed heartily, he looked at Chu Junyan with blaming eyes: "We are a close cooperative relationship, and it would be too much to be called the president." Call me Uncle Shang, you are about the same age as Xiaowei. ”

"Uncle Shang. Since Dongfang Shang said so, he naturally wanted to save face.

......

"Your Highness, as far as I know, that young man's name is Chu Junyan. ”

In the other direction, several people stood together.

Looking at the standing position, the noble young man in the middle is the main backbone.
