Although Zheng Qian, Jia Fugui and other businessmen broke their contracts, it was beyond the expectations of Lin Yu and others.
But it didn't make these officials panic.
After all, they were officials, and even if they didn't say that Zhao Jinsheng, the Tutor, or even Long Xingyi, the Ducha Yushi, would never be offended by any businessman.
Therefore, after hearing that Lin Yu and Long Xingyi were preparing to convene businessmen for in-person interviews, various officials asked people to contact the businessmen who had cooperated with them and bring the news to them.
Naturally, most of the tone was threatening.
After Zheng Qian, Jia Fugui and others received the news, they hurried to Daqian Chamber of Commerce to meet Zhao Kang.
Report the matter.
Listening to everyone's chattering, Zhao Kang leaned on the rocking chair and rocked. He had already foreseen this.
"It's nothing. He asked you to go, so just go. Just a reminder, it's okay to break the contract with me now."
Looking at Zhao Kang's smiling expression, Zheng Qian chuckled: "Master Imperial Master, you are just joking. We are now cooperating with His Majesty. We have been businessmen for more than ten or twenty years. Where are we? How can you still tell the difference?"
"Even if you beat me to death, you won't break the contract!" Everyone agreed.
Zhao Kang seemed to have remembered something and sat up: "By the way, you all caught me at one point."
"Master Imperial Master, please speak."
Zhao Kang said coldly: "That is, as long as they ask, you will say that you are cooperating with me. You are not allowed to reveal anything about His Majesty."
Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice, expressing that they understood.
Zhao Kang was relieved and dismissed everyone.
Fresh food shop.
At a large-scale restaurant in the inner city, Zheng Qian and other merchants arrived early, although they had already broken the contract.
But the other party is an official after all, so he still has to give him the face he deserves.
After all of them expired, the two brothers Lin Yu, Long Xingyi, Lin Lang, and Long Xingyong also arrived.
Long Xingyong looked bad, especially when he saw several businessmen who cooperated with his family, he became even more angry.
In contrast, Lin Lang, who first served as the Minister of Honglu Temple in the court, seemed to be all-rounded.
He greeted Zheng Qian, Jia Fugui and others, and then asked everyone to sit down and talk.
After sitting down, Lin Lang picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, it's rare to get together today. Let's have a drink first and talk about anything after drinking."
Zheng Qian and others looked at each other, but they didn't feel disappointed. They picked up the wine glasses and drank down the wine in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Lang seemed to have remembered something and introduced the merchants with a smile.
"Everyone, I forgot to introduce you, this is my brother Lin Yu, who is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and this Lord Long Xingyi Long is the Censor of Ducha."
"The common people have met Master Lin and Master Long."
Businessmen, stand up and salute.
Lin Yu and Long Xingyi were both stunned for a moment. How come these guys didn't look scared at all?
You must know that one of them is a first-grade student and the other is a third-grade official. They are both real and important ministers of the imperial court!
Why don’t these people react at all?
If Zheng Qian and others knew what they were thinking, they would inevitably laugh.
If it were normal, let's not just stand up and salute, we could just kneel down and kowtow to you.
but now!
After all, we are business partners with His Majesty. His Majesty has to rely on us if he wants to make money!
Besides, we just met Zhao Kang yesterday. He is a first-class national teacher and the leader of hundreds of officials!
Isn’t it more substantial than the two of you?
The businessmen's anomaly made Long Xingyong, who was somewhat grumpy, unhappy and looked at Zheng Qian.
"Boss Zheng!"
"What advice does Boss Long have?" Zheng Qian sat down and responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Long Xingyong said with a sullen face: "I heard that you are going to break the contract with us and stop cooperating with us?"
Zheng Qian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I don't plan to cooperate not only with Boss Helong, but also with Boss Lin's porcelain business."
"And I."
Jia Fugui raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Boss Long, Boss Lin, please tell Boss Zhao who is not here. The business relationship between Jia and their family has ended here."
"Me too."
"I won't do it either!"
One by one, the businessmen quit as if they had made an appointment.
Lin Yu and Long Xingyi were dumbfounded, this situation is wrong!
I thought that after the two of them arrived, these businessmen would first complain and explain how Zhao Kang used his status as a national advisor to threaten them.
At that time, the two of us will comfort each other and then work together to deal with Zhao Kang.
As a result, it's good now. The two of us haven't said a word yet, but the other party is so determined!
If you say I won’t do it, I won’t do it!
Long Xingyong slapped the table: "You know what you are talking about! Believe it or not, starting from today, you guys will not be able to continue their business!"
Zheng Qian didn't look frightened at all, and smiled: "Boss Long is a little too excited. Since ancient times, there has been no reason to buy or sell by force."
"We businessmen usually earn hard money by traveling all over the country. Is it possible that Boss Jackie Chan still doesn't allow us good birds to choose the best place to live?"
"That's right! It's us who provide the money and effort to sell the goods. Now we can't do it even if we don't want to? We're not your domestic slaves, so why!"
"That's right, last year I brought a batch of tea to your Long family, but it was robbed by bandits. More than thirty people died. You didn't bear any loss, so I lost forty to fifty thousand taels. I had already lost all my money.
I don’t want to do it anymore!”
A group of people now felt that Zhao Kang and Her Majesty the Empress were behind them. Even if Lin Yu and Long Xingyi were present, they would not be polite when speaking.
In the final analysis, the business of various aristocratic families in the imperial capital relies on merchants like Zheng Qian. They are responsible for shipping goods, and then the merchants sell these goods and turn them into money, which is then handed over to them.
Although their family also runs a business on weekdays, in the end the profits are not high.
Because we can't go too far, there are still people in the family who are serving as officials.
Therefore, businessmen like Xiang Zheng Qian were actually working for them, but now Zhao Kang asked them to change bosses, and the boss they replaced was Her Majesty the Empress!
And it gives them higher profits, allowing them to make more money. Anyone with some brains knows how to choose.
Long Xingyong was stunned, and Lin Yu and the other three people on the side were also extremely surprised.
Zheng Qian smiled and poured a glass of wine and stood up and said: "Mr. Lin, Master Long, we have finished drinking and have finished talking about the matter. Thank you for today's hospitality. Zheng will not accompany you if you have something else to do."
After drinking, Zheng Qian left, and the others followed suit.
Lin Yu suddenly said: "Zheng Qian, right?"
Zheng Qian smiled and said: "Not bad."
"Zhao Kang taught you to do this, right? So from now on you will be cooperating with Zhao Kang's Daqian Chamber of Commerce?"
Zheng Qian nodded.
Lin Yu sneered: "You and I will all regret it. From today on, you no longer have to do business. I, Lin Yu, will make you unable to make a penny in Qian Country from now on!"
