The bets Xue Poye mentioned may seem like a lot of wealth to ordinary people, but to the merchants here, they are nothing. Many people can even pay ten times or dozens of times.
of wealth.
What surprised everyone was that it seemed that Nan Huaiwu came out of the mountain to help Xue Poye. This was definitely extremely sensational news.
No one knows what kind of situation will be created when the former business wonders and today's business prodigies join forces. This kind of alliance will make even Mrs. Fang suddenly change her temper.
Nan Huaiwu already said with a smile: "That's enough, that's enough. It seems that my bet is not as small as I thought."
Of course not less!
Nan Huaiwu and Xue Poye are both self-made business talents who have achieved great success in a very short period of time. If these two people get together, they may beg for food today and buy a house tomorrow.
Who dares to underestimate their power.
Xue Poye stood up, turned to face Nan Huaiwu, and bowed deeply and sincerely. Everyone saw it and were filled with emotion. Some of the people who thought far ahead were already worried about the future of the Lu family.
Mrs. Fang frowned and looked at the already disharmonious crowd. She knew that the appearance of Nan Huaiwu had shaken the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce. The time when the Lu family dominated the world with one hand may soon disappear, and its influence among merchants will also be greatly reduced.
There is only one way to deal with this threat, and that is to completely defeat Xue Poye and Nan Huaiwu in Hangzhou so that they will never stand up again. Although she knows the result, she still wants to really test the position of some people in the chamber of commerce. She indifferently
Asked: "I guess you have no objections to Shopkeeper Xue's ban on sales? So, it will be implemented from today."
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately stood up and said: "President, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Although Shopkeeper Wang claimed that Shopkeeper Xue's store belongs to him, Shopkeeper Xue did not directly handle this matter after all, whether it was a good purchase or an evil occupation.
, that is the matter of the magistrate. If we can’t get through to Shopkeeper Xue, how can we impose a sales ban on Shopkeeper Xue? Isn’t this an injustice to a good man?”
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone immediately answered: "Yes, our Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce was established to protect the interests of our merchants. How can we suppress new merchants arbitrarily? I know the character of shopkeeper Xue well. He is generous, chivalrous and benevolent. King Wang Shizhen
Your wife and children were killed that day, and it was shopkeeper Xue who helped you out. I’m afraid no one in Hangzhou knows this. How could such a person seize other people’s stores? After all, we didn’t even see any evidence, so why should we believe it?
According to Shopkeeper Wang, our business is one where you buy and I sell, it is fair and reasonable, there is no reason to get entangled afterwards."
Some people even said directly: "Our ancestors adhere to business ethics and do good things to others. Shopkeeper Xue is young and promising. He is a role model for our Hangzhou business community and has contributed to the prosperity of our Hangzhou business community. How can we say that sales are prohibited?"
Just ban sales, you can’t do this recklessly!”
Refutations came one after another. These people were sharp-tongued. They knew what they knew before but did not dare to speak. Now that Nan Huaiwu has come back, those merchants who have been squeezed out by the Lu family suddenly seem to have found a backer. They retort mercilessly.
The sentence hit the point, and the lobby suddenly became noisy again. The merchants holding the Lu family naturally stood up to retort, and there was another round of verbal battle.
"Okay, now that the matter has come to an end, I don't care anymore. Things have to be settled." A tall and thin merchant said loudly: "Shopkeeper Xue, don't worry. If you are short of drinks, just tell me.
I will send someone to the building, and I must sell my wine to you."
Xue Poye was really filled with emotion. He had already experienced Nan Huaiwu's influence, and the benefits brought by his influence had begun to surface. From this, it seemed that Nan Huaiwu was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Nan Huaiwu not only showed up today, but some merchants who usually dared not speak and were timid were like inflated balloons that were filled with air again. They were full of energy, spoke sharply, and even dared to argue with Mrs. Fang. This was really unprecedented for many years.
matter.
Although this is a bit abnormal, it is definitely not surprising.
In addition to the merchants attached to the name of the Lu family, most merchants have suffered from the Lu family's tyranny, and all walks of life are just eating the bones of the Lu family. In addition, the Lu family even collects money under various names.
, this is really a big burden for many people.
Although everyone has grudges in their hearts, the Lu family is too powerful and ordinary merchants are no match for them. It is not easy to unite. It requires people with both ability and prestige to gather this group of wealthy merchants. In the Lu family
Under the pressure, such a person had never appeared before today.
Although Xue Poye's rise once gave people hope, everyone knows that the Lu family will never allow Xue Poye to continue to grow, and will definitely nip Xue Poye in the bud.
There is no doubt about Xue Poye's ability, and he certainly has some prestige, but his prestige is far from reaching the point where he can unite a group of businessmen. Just imagine, how can those seniors in the business world follow Xue Poye's orders?
If there is such a person, it is certainly Nan Huai.
In terms of ability, Nan Huai spent a year transforming from a small salesman into a business giant, and almost defeated the Lu family. Even though he was later defeated by Mrs. Fang, it was not a matter of ability. In terms of prestige, Nan Huai
Many years ago, he gathered people and launched a vigorous shopping mall. Although he retired, he is still a genius in people's hearts for so many years. His appeal is extraordinary. Looking at the situation today, it only shows that
Being able to gain support from many people is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
The appearance of Nan Huaiwu gave the oppressed merchants an opportunity to vent their anger. Over the years, many merchants in Hangzhou who had harbored complaints seemed to have found a strong and reliable backer.
If Nan Huaiwu's strength alone may not shake the foundation of the Lu family, but with the addition of the extremely weird Xue Poye, those who support Nan Huaiwu have great confidence in them.
Everyone has not forgotten that when Nan Huaiwu was defeated in Hangzhou, a large part of the reason was because the Lu family bribed the government. However, the situation today is very different. Everyone knows more or less that the current Hangzhou government office should be
The sphere of influence of this young shopkeeper Xue was aided by the government, and the balance of victory and defeat seemed to favor Xue Poye and Nan Huaiwu.
Mrs. Fang watched the debate in the lobby coldly, with the same cold look on her face as Nan Huaiwu.
In her mind, she had been preparing for today's party for a long time. She promised shopkeeper Wang a lot of money and asked him to come forward to testify. Regardless of whether it was true or false, she would always use this as an excuse to completely ban Xue Poye's business. Before long, Xue Poye would
I am afraid that Ye will withdraw from the business scene in Hangzhou.
She had even thought about how to deal with Xue Poye after he fell into despair.
But against all odds, she never expected that Nan Huaiwu would appear on such an occasion, causing the already smooth plan to collapse in an instant. This was still a trivial matter. The biggest trouble was that Nan Huaiwu had already linked up with Xue Poye
Hands, this is definitely a huge threat to the Lu family, and even to the Fang family in Yangzhou.
She was well aware of Xue Poye's talents, and she was also very aware of Nan Huaiwu's abilities. Adding to Xue Poye's official power and Nan Huaiwu's appeal in Hangzhou, Mrs. Fang felt that she had not had the ability to do so for many years.
A sense of crisis.
She doesn't know that Xue Poye has formed an alliance with the Suzhou Qiao family. If she knew, her face would be even uglier and her heart would be even more panicked.
Nan Huaiwu seems to have no interest in staying here anymore. The purpose of his appearance is very simple. He just wants to tell the merchants in Hangzhou that the former Hangzhou giant Nan Huaiwu has come back, and he comes back for Xue Poye's sake.
of.
He put his hands behind his back, never looked at Mrs. Fang again, and walked slowly out the door.
Xue Poye stretched out, yawned, stood up and followed him out, leaving Mrs. Fang with an indifferent expression.
Seeing the two big guys leaving one after another, everyone stopped arguing. Many merchants quickly stood up and filed out without caring about Mrs. Fang's power, making the party end like a child's play.
…
Sitting in the carriage, Xue Poye looked at Nan Huaiwu opposite and said with a smile: "I know you will come out."
This is a carriage borrowed from a wealthy businessman. It is magnificent, and the golden lion is following the carriage.
"You seem to be very confident all the time?" Nan Huaiwu leaned in the carriage. He seemed to have not forgotten the habit of luxurious life. He leaned on the soft back cushion skillfully. The indifference he had when he was a farmer could no longer be seen on his face.
, eyes sparkling.
Xue Poye sighed, Nan Huaiwu was born to be a businessman, and his magnanimity and courage will not fade away because of his retirement.
Xue Poye smiled slightly, then suddenly smiled, with a sincere look on his face, and said with cupped hands: "Thank you!"
Nan Huaiwu waved his hand and said, "You must remember your words."
"Of course I remember!" Xue Poye said seriously: "Follow business principles and support people's livelihood." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "At least Qin Laosan can buy two new sets of clothes for his wife."
Nan Huaiwu smiled heartily and stretched out his hand. Xue Poye immediately stretched out his hand. Their palms were clasped together. It was destined that their lives would be tied together from today on.
