Chapter 432
Zhen Yan came outside the hall of the provincial governor's office, glanced quickly, and saw the businessman led by Chen Ke.
Zhen Yan has seen these people.
Zhen Yan clearly remembered that he was eliminated from the businessman present. Seeing these people, Zhen Yan's lips raised, and there was no panic in his heart. In the selection of merchants, he adhered to the principle of fairness and justice, and did not commit favoritism and fraud. In this case, Zhen Yan was upright and not afraid of his shadow. After coming to the hall, he saluted respectfully: "Zhen Yan, pay homage to the lord!"
"sit!"
Wang Lei waved his hand and signaled Zhen Yan to sit down.
A middle-aged and slightly fat businessman was so angry that he couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "Mr. Wang, Zhen Yan is corrupt and abused the law. People like him are not worthy of serving under Lord Wang. Zhen Yan stayed in Ye County to slander Mr. Wang and Jizhou. Please give me a clear statement."
When Wang Lei heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
The cold eyes made the middle-aged businessman shrink his neck and return to the seat awkwardly to sit down.
Wang Lei glanced at the merchants present, and no one dared to speak wherever his eyes passed. Chen Ke looked calm and had a strong sense of confidence in his eyes. Zhen Yan took the money, which was a fatal problem.
After a while, Wang Lei slowly said: "Zhen Yan, Chen Ke and the other fourteen businessmen jointly reported that you were corrupt and abused. He greedy for their money in advance and promised to give him a place to purchase land, but in the end he turned against him. Is this a matter?"
All eyes fell on Zhen Yan in one go.
Zhen Yan raised his head and shook his head and said, "Report to the lord, Bei Zhi doesn't know about this."
In an instant, the businessmen were excited.
Chen Ke couldn't help but stand up, and was facing Zhen Yan, shouting, "Zhen Yan, don't you dare admit it after doing something?" Then, Chen Ke looked at Wang Lei again and said earnestly: "Mr. Wang, I think that knowing mistakes can improve. As long as Zhen Yan honestly admits his mistakes, it's nothing big, it's just a little money, not worth mentioning. However, look at Zhen Yan's attitude and deny it with confidence. Such an approach will definitely bring shame to Lord Wang. Please punish Zhen Yan severely."
"Please punish Zhen Yan severely!"
"There are such corrupt officials in Jizhou, so Lord Wang should not tolerate them! Otherwise, the reputation of Jizhou will be destroyed and will have a huge impact on the upcoming conference on Taoism and martial arts."
"Mr. Wang, please make the decision for us!"
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and the sound was noisy.
Wang Lei coughed lightly, and the hall immediately became quiet. Wang Lei's eyes turned and fell on Zhen Yan, asking meaningfully: "Zhen Yan, what do you have to say about accepting bribes?"
"Report to the lord, I have something to say!"
Zhen Yan also stood up, came to the hall, and stood side by side with Chen Ke.
Zhen Yan raised his head, straightened his back, and was confident.
This expression fell into the eyes of the merchants, making the merchants present gritted their teeth. Until now, Zhen Yan is still so arrogant, which is really hateful. However, Chen Ke found a trace of bad aura. If Zhen Yan was greedy for money, he would definitely be scared to death when facing Wang Lei. However, Zhen Yan's calmness showed makes people unable to guess Zhen Yan's thoughts.
Could it be that there is something wrong with it?
Chen Ke frowned and kept thinking in his heart.
Zhen Yan smiled and said, "Lord, the matter of collecting money is purely a slander from a businessman. As we all know, relatives and friends will send some gifts when they walk around when they arrive at their friends' homes. The businessmen here visit my mansion and give some gifts. This is an extremely normal thing. What's wrong?"
After a pause, Zhen Yan continued: "More importantly, when I met them, I never made a guarantee and said that anyone here would get a place to buy land... I repeatedly said that it was screened according to the rules set by the lord. Now, the merchants present used the excuse of giving gifts to slander, which was clearly open their mouths."
Chen Ke was extremely angry when he heard this.
This is clearly a verbal argument!
Indeed, Zhen Yan has not made any guarantee, but after collecting the money, he should get things done.
This is a potential rule!
The businessmen in the hall were also very angry.
Wang Lei did not make any comments, and then changed the subject and said, "I still have a question. The businessmen here have not received the quota. What's going on? There must be a reasonable reason to exclude people."
Chen Ke's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Mr. Wang's words are reasonable, and there must be reasonable reasons."
The other businessmen looked at Wang Lei with excitement.
If Zhen Yan can't give a reasonable reason, then Zhen Yan will undoubtedly lose.
Zhen Yan smiled slightly, still seemed very calm, and said slowly: "Since the lord asked, I will explain the reasons one by one. The strength and background of the Chen Family Trading Company are impeccable. Even Chen Family Trading Company came to Ye County to do business, which has promoted and promoted the business exchanges between Jizhou and Xuzhou, and can be said to have many benefits."
"Since you know, why not give a quota?"
Chen Ke shook his sleeves and said angrily.
Zhen Yan said: "The reason is that Chen's business has no moral bottom line in doing things, bullying the market, and has no integrity. I asked about Chen's business. During his business in Xia Pi, Chen's business was arrogant and domineering. Any merchant must retreat and not compete with Chen's business when he encountered the business of Chen's business. Even if the business in the hands of other merchants had to be snatched up. Even the Chen's business had to be robbed by various means such as fabricating charges, secretly suppressing, and sending people to assassinate them. In addition, the goods transported by Chen's business often had defects and omissions, but they never compensated and had no integrity."
Zhen Yan's tone became more and more sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "This time, the venue recruits merchants, integrity is the most important point, followed by the financial resources and strength of the merchants. Chen's Commercial Bank has the strength and financial resources, but the first point is completely unqualified."
After hearing this, Chen Ke's mouth twitched, and a look of hatred appeared in his eyes.
Zhen Yan's words are all facts and he cannot refute them.
Immediately, Zhen Yan's eyes turned and said, "Fei shops acted regardless of their means. In order to achieve their goals, they even hired people to kill their opponents in order to achieve the development of the shop; money shops often swallowed up the goods of customers, but shook the blame on the bandits; Zhou Jiashu, 70% of the goods sold by their own houses are the worst goods, and they use inferior goods as good ones, without moral bottom line..."
Zhen Yan said a lot, and the businessmen lowered their heads.
"If you are a business person, you will get a quota no matter what, no matter what, you will be allowed to get a quota!" Zhen Yan said with a cold face, "However, you do not be honest, do not be moral, and do whatever you want in business. Jizhou does not welcome such businessmen."
Wang Lei applauded and nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "I agree with Zhen Yan's words. Whether you are in business or doing things, you should be honest and worthy of your conscience."
Chen Ke sighed lightly, turned around silently, and left the hall.
Seeing this, the other businessmen spoke again. They now understood the fact that Wang Lei and Zhen Yan were clearly the ones who were blunt and the other who were blunt. In this case, they would never have the chance to obtain a quota.
