Ding Kui set the tone. Since he has decided to become an enemy of the Lu State, he must first attack the Lu Chamber of Commerce. It is not his habit to act recklessly and he must be careful in his planning.
"In this case, my subordinates feel that it is not appropriate to openly target Lu's Chamber of Commerce. At least we should keep a low profile until we find new sources of supply. Otherwise, the newly supplied chamber of commerce may take the opportunity to raise prices." Liu Yu wanted to minimize the impact of this incident.
"My lord's suggestion just now is good. In name, it targets all foreign gold coins. In fact, the new department can be used to deliberately make things difficult for Lu Guo's gold coins. Let's leave this matter to my subordinates. I will definitely do it without leaving any trace." Fei Ze already thought.
Have a complete idea for the new department.
"The gold coin issue is one, and the other is to stop supplying our products to the Lu Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, and profitable business cannot be given to them. We have reasons for this, and other chambers of commerce are also happy, especially those of our own country.
They can get their fair share."
At first Ding Kui only wanted to buy grain from his own country, but now the situation has changed. Not only has he fallen out with the Lu Chamber of Commerce, but the Fengrun family attaches great importance to business development and has sent an envoy on the way. This is to deepen bilateral trade with his country.
opportunity.
"When it comes to my country, I will obey you. You are so awesome!" Kong Ren praised sincerely. "You will win no matter how hard you fight them. You are simply the nemesis of our country! You have understood the psychology of the people of our country. You can't even defeat them."
The negotiator will also be fed and housed by you.
I have a source of information. I heard that the Feng family in our country is about to rise. There is no harm in strengthening contacts with Feng Run. Some strategic resources may not be available, but most of the goods can be replaced by the Lu Chamber of Commerce in our country."
"Is there such a thing? Then we need to manage it well." Liu Yu didn't know enough about his country's affairs, so he might as well have been to Kong Ren in Bei County.
"For strategic resources that cannot be bought, you can go to the Helian family of Meng State. They have connections, but the price is a little more expensive." Fei Ze has contacted people from the Helian family.
He is in charge of intelligence work and is particularly sensitive to major foreign forces. He Lianyu was the one who led troops to invade Nanma Prefecture, so he had to guard against it.
Several people unified their thoughts and began to plan actions against the Lu Chamber of Commerce.
The soldiers came to report: "Sir, President Cai of the Magic Guild is here."
Liu Yu, Fei Ze and Kong Ren looked at Ding Kui together, "There is no need to avoid it, the Magic Guild only has interests in it with us." Ding Kui waved his hand and said.
"Brother Ding, oh, everyone is here." Cai Ran walked in with a smile on his face and greeted everyone one by one.
Everyone sat down again, and Ding Kui asked: "Is this the first time Brother Cai has come here since he returned to China?"
"It seems to be true. You can't blame me. The presidents of the guilds in each city came to the county to look for me. They finally brought back some things from their own country and distributed them all."
It would be better to kill Cai Ran than to ask Cai Ran to distribute things. He was reluctant to give anything but had to give it. When he mobilized the guilds to send people to fight with the army, he had agreed that the spoils should be divided equally among the guilds.
He had to take into account Kuai Lian's face regardless of his own face. Being the president of the county guild was not that easy.
"If you are lacking, just tell me. The Magic Guild is the backbone of the kingdom. No one can help you if you are poor." Ding Kui thought that Cai Ranlai was crying for poverty.
"No, no, no, the county guild is really proud. I don't need anything for the time being. Besides, I have some savings now. If I need anything, I can buy it. The Lu's Chamber of Commerce is not in short supply." Cai Ran paid attention to Ding Kui when he said this.
expression.
"Haha, Master Cai could be a lobbyist for Lu Yaolai, right?" Fei Ze's smiling face blocked Cai Ran's eyes.
Everyone here is a smart person. Everyone understood what Cai Ran said as soon as he said it. Fei was the ugly one and was responsible for clarifying what he said.
Cai Ran's face froze but quickly returned to normal, saying: "Uh, haha, everyone is sensible, so I'll tell you straight. Hitting the younger ones will definitely bring out the older ones, not to mention our magical world, secular family
That's it.
Lu Chao does have some background, otherwise he would not be so arrogant here. He is asking for it if he falls under the hands of Brother Ding, but his disciples are hurt by themselves, and the people in his disciples are too embarrassed to come here, so they will not hinder their actions in Lu Guo
Some means.
Due to the special nature of high-level magicians, King Lu couldn't just sit idly by and naturally turned to the Lu Chamber of Commerce. He wondered how those mere merchants could withstand the king's pressure, so he had no choice but to offend Brother Ding.
I am not speaking for the people of Lu. The Lu Chamber of Commerce can bring us benefits. Compared with the things they do behind the scenes, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If Brother Ding feels unhappy, he can call the person in charge to teach him a lesson. There is no need to mess with the relationship.
You have to be so stiff."
After receiving the money, he sincerely helped Lu Yao.
Kong Ren winked at Ding Kui, and then said: "That's what I said just now. The lintel is knocking on the door when you enter. You can't remove the lintel. Mr. Ding has his own mind, how can he be as knowledgeable as those businessmen."
"Haha, this is because Brother Cai cares about me and the people of Nanqiu County. Where can I find such a good magic guild leader? We are discussing how to prevent foreign forces from doing evil. Brother Cai might as well give some advice. We can do anything beneficial.
Accept it, but all disadvantages must be eliminated.”
Ding Kui's words are ambiguous and can be interpreted in any way.
Cai Ran said tentatively: "I mainly think Lu Yao is a pretty good person, and he will definitely not do evil here."
Liu Yu took over the topic: "My lord is not targeting anyone in particular. This time we conquered our country and found some problems. The main purpose is to protect the rights and interests of everyone. We all see how Boss Lu behaves and do things. We will not object to the normal behavior of the Lu Chamber of Commerce."
The same is true for other chambers of commerce.
Of course, the lord has to feed a lot of people, so some decisions have to be biased towards interests. Things may happen in the future that may be detrimental to the Lu Chamber of Commerce on the surface, but they are essentially normal trade activities. We don’t want Boss Lu to think too much about it. Today is just the day.
Let’s take this opportunity to talk to Master Cai.”
After Cai Ran heard this, he looked at Ding Kui suspiciously.
"Due to some trade issues, we have some difficulties. If there are difficulties, we must solve them. As long as the people and everyone live well, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little loss. I am a reasonable person and will treat everyone fairly." Ding Kui said in an official tone.
Come on, saying it means not saying it.
"Oh, well, as long as you don't fall out with the Lu Chamber of Commerce, we can sit down and talk about it peacefully." Cai Ran made a last-ditch effort.
"Am I such a stingy person? There are many people from the chamber of commerce who want to see me every day. Why do I spend so much time on one person? Go ahead and tell Lu Yao not to think too much. As long as you do business normally, no one will target them."
Cai Ran finally heard the correct words and felt more at ease, "I think so. You have a lot of people and have to deal with so many people every day. I probably don't have time to talk to Lu Yao. Okay, I won't waste your time either.
You guys talk slowly, I'll go back first." He felt that the matter was settled and stood up to leave.
Fei Ze sent Cai Ran out and came back and said, "Master Cai happened to be helping us pass the message, and we can stabilize the state of Lu first." He believed that the enemy behind Ding Kui was the state of Lu.
"The factory will make arrangements with the subordinates to slowly adjust the export share. At the same time, it needs to unify its caliber with several large chambers of commerce. In the short term, it will set off a wave of price wars in the market, step by step squeezing the Lu Chamber of Commerce out of the core business circle." Liu Yu reversed.
own thoughts.
He is not a person who is afraid of trouble, he just doesn't want to cause trouble for Ding Kui, and he is very unambiguous when it comes to doing things.
When Cai Ran returned to the guild, he happened to meet Ruan Xingzhu walking out of the door.
"Junior sister Ruan, why do you need to trouble yourself to come here in person? If you need anything, just send someone with a message." He envied Ruan Xingzhu, and there were not many people who could win the favor of Gui Jing.
"I can't let anyone take care of my personal matters. Senior Brother Cai is busy first, I'm leaving." Ruan Xingzhu left with a heavy heart.
You don’t really want to alarm people and worship them, do you?
Cai Ran thought to himself.
From now on, I'd better stay out of Lu's Chamber of Commerce's business. Maybe the teacher will blame me again. It's not a good thing if the rules magician is involved.
He made up his mind.
There is another group of people who are worried about Ding Kui's anger. They are the people from Shao Dianxi's group.
After Gongsun Mi returned from the defeat, he was ashamed to see people and hid in the military camp all day long training troops. It was rare that Shao Dianxi kept his word and did not blame him for losing so many troops and actively helped him rebuild the army.
After learning that Ding Kui had returned to China, Shao Dianxi was restless and could not bear to summon his military and political officials again to discuss countermeasures.
"Ding Kui was able to return to his country safely. Our people are so useless!" He even scolded his own country.
"I didn't expect that the Magic Guild would collude with the rebellion. Ding Kui's troops can be compared with the imperial court's main battle force. It is reasonable for our army to be defeated, not to mention that the Zhongwangzhou Theater sent troops to respond to him." Wei Shiwen took the opportunity to excuse himself.
It became a matter of course that he was defeated by Ding Kui's men.
"On the other hand, the refugees from Zhongwangzhou put a lot of pressure on Ding Kui, forcing him to send troops to plunder his country. However, this only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. We must increase the blockade and not give Ding Kui a break.
Machine." Lou Xiao saw Ding Kui's dilemma.
"What if he sends troops to rob us?" Shao Dianxi looked at Gongsun Mi.
"Please rest assured, the prince, my subordinates have completed the operation of fortifying the walls and clearing the country. There is no food left in the areas bordering the south. If Ding Kui sends troops, I guarantee that they will not even be able to grab enough food." Gongsun could not leave the camp, and the news was quite good.
Paying attention to the situation in the south.
Shaodianxi turned to look at Wei Shiwen.
"I thought that Ding Kui cherished his reputation and would not rob his own people. However, the official warehouses in each city need to be vigilant. The rebellious special forces are very powerful and may catch us by surprise at any time."
Wei Shiwen asked the veterans of the Kong family army in Wenguo County, focusing on understanding Ding Kui's private army, the most feared of which was the special battle group.
Gongsun Mi rushed to say: "My subordinates have also noticed the special battle group, and have specifically told the city lords close to the south to burn the official warehouses if it is not possible. They would rather destroy them than support the enemy."
"No! What if it can't be burned? The official warehouse property must be moved, and the cities south of the city are not allowed to keep reserves for more than one month." Shao Dianxi did not hesitate to issue a dangerous order.
