After the steward left, Queen Ma turned around and faced the crowd.
"You should all be shopkeepers and managers of the Chamber of Commerce, right?"
The calm voice made everyone's hearts tremble.
No one among them knew Queen Ma, but this did not prevent these well-informed guys from feeling the different aura from Queen Ma.
Some businessmen who were familiar with each other exchanged glances with each other in private and started whispering.
"Do you know who this person is?"
"Never seen that before."
"Is there such a woman in Lanyunzhai?"
"This woman's strength is definitely extraordinary. Not everyone has this kind of momentum."
"Maybe she's just pretending, but don't let her fool you."
"I have a bit of an impression of her. I have seen her in and out of Lanyunzhai more than once before."
"You say that, you know his identity?"
"Of course I don't know. I haven't asked anyone to investigate."
The businessman probably didn't know, but fortunately he didn't ask anyone to investigate Queen Ma's identity.
Otherwise, whether he can still stand here now is probably a question.
Queen Ma didn't speak in a hurry. I waited for the businessmen to exchange opinions for a while before saying, "You may not know me."
"My surname is Ma. As for this person, I can be considered one of the shareholders of Lanyunzhai."
As soon as Queen Ma spoke these words, the people around her immediately buzzed with incredible exclamations.
All businessmen in Yanjing City know that Lanyun Disaster will never accept shares from others.
Unexpectedly, a shareholder appeared out of nowhere today.
"How is this possible? Who doesn't know that Lan Yunzhai is the only one who has the final say? Shopkeeper Lan has the final say. When did he let others take shares?"
"Are you lying to us?"
"Where's Shopkeeper Lan? Please come out and explain the matter clearly."
"Yes, since you can buy shares, why did you reject us in the first place? Is this looking down on us?"
Empress Ma smiled slightly: "Have you misunderstood something? Lan Yunzhai just doesn't accept men's shares. After all, Lan Yunzhai is all women. If men are allowed to take shares, I'm afraid it won't be very convenient to manage in the future."
"It doesn't mean that Shopkeeper Lan will not allow others to buy shares. Since I am a woman, it will naturally not have any impact."
At this point, Queen Ma changed the topic slightly: "But having said that, how to run Lanyun Village? It should be shopkeeper Lan's own business, right?"
"You are all managers of your own chamber of commerce. Can you let others dictate how your chamber of commerce is managed and operated?"
This question was so loud that everyone present was speechless.
Immediately, someone retorted unconvinced: "Of course we have never thought about intervening in Lan Yunzhai's affairs. Isn't it a bit too much to play with you guys?"
Queen Ma asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this? We come to Yunzhai to do business seriously. When have we ever played tricks on others?"
Queen Ma's words were like a hornet's nest being lit.
Lan Yun, the person at the door, suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Why isn't there playing?"
"These male shopkeepers have agreed to hold a bidding conference to recruit Lan Yunzhai's dealers."
"But how long has it been since then? Why is there no news at all?"
"Yes, how long have we all been preparing for it, but Lan Yun didn't even move at all here, and he said he wasn't playing tricks on us?"
"I don't care what shareholder you are, now our shopkeeper must come out and give us an explanation."
"We can't be kept waiting like this forever. Who's to blame if our business is delayed?"
Listening to these people talking about their reasons, Queen Ma suddenly felt like she couldn't laugh or cry.
Although these businessmen are indeed very capable of action, they have already begun to take action as soon as a little bit of news comes out here.
But sometimes, being too powerful doesn't seem to be a good thing.
The fact that Lan Yunzhai is going to invite tenders is just a rumor, and Lan Yunfeng has not expressed his position in public.
As a result, these guys have already begun to prepare in a hurry.
Aren't they afraid that there is something wrong with this news, and that it's all their own misunderstanding?
Now that we know it's a misunderstanding, it's easy to handle.
Empress Ma put her hands on her waist, looking very dignified. Her noble temperament suddenly exuded and immediately stunned everyone present.
Even the people from Lanlan Yunzhai were no exception, they were also shocked from ear to ear by Queen Ma's changes.
When Queen Ma met them before, in order not to put pressure on them, she never showed the majesty of the Queen.
When have these ordinary people seen such a scene, even well-informed businessmen are no exception.
For a moment, most people have only one thought in their minds.
Who is this woman?
Although they still don't know the identity of Queen Ma, but based on the temperament that Queen Ma is showing now, everyone can be sure that the identity of the woman in front of them is definitely good.
Even if she is not a royal noble, she is definitely the housewife of a wealthy family.
If you can avoid offending such people, it is better not to offend them as much as possible.
"As for the bidding matter, I can give you an accurate answer personally."
"Shopkeeper Lan really wants to conduct a bidding process to select a general distributor from various places in our country, Daimyo Huaxia."
"The current plan is to select one dealer from each province. We will only supply the dealers. As for how the dealers sell within their own territory, it will be managed by the dealers themselves."
Hearing Queen Ma say this, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
It seems that the news they heard before is true.
But before they could be happy for a long time, Queen Ma said again: "But I think there are some things that you may have misunderstood."
"Although Shopkeeper Lan plans to hold a tender, this matter is also related to the future development of our Lanyun, so it will not be accomplished overnight."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You must wait until Shopkeeper Lan thinks clearly and completes all preparations before the bidding."
"Otherwise, this will not only be irresponsible to Lan Yunzhai, but also irresponsible to everyone."
"I can understand your feelings, but I would like to ask you to go back today. If Lanyunzhai actually starts bidding, we will definitely notify you, so please rest assured."
After hearing Queen Ma's explanation, most people nodded in understanding.
After all, they are businessmen, not robbers. They just need to explain it clearly.
However, not everyone is pursuing serious business.
There are also some people who just have other agendas and want to cause trouble.
So after most people calmed down, some people still pretended to be angry and accused: "You may sound nice, but in fact you don't intend to give us people a chance at all, right?"
"I have heard that Shen Wansan, Zhou Gushan, and the stewards in Yanjing City have met Shopkeeper Lan."
"The business of these two is much bigger than that of us. Even if dealers from all over the country leave it to them, they can still take it."
"If you haven't already reached a deal, why have you been reluctant to open the tender?"
After hearing this man's words, many people also felt a slight chill in their hearts.
Anyone doing business would not be unaware of the strength of Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan.
It can be said that no matter what kind of business it is, as long as they want to interfere, others will basically just eat the soup.
What's more, Lan Yunzhai's stall is not big to begin with, and a group of women cannot work as hard as the gentlemen do every day.
The porcelain produced is relatively small compared to other workshops.
If this were not the case, other workshops in Yanjing would probably have no business at all.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Wansan and others are able to monopolize these supply sources more conveniently.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this kind of thing was likely to happen.
If it was normal business dealings, it would be nothing even if we lost to these two people.
Of course they would not, nor did they have the courage to take revenge on Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan.
In other words, Lan Yunfeng didn't mention anything about bidding at the beginning.
Just cooperate directly with Shen Wansan or Zhou Gushan. Although they are jealous, they won't say anything.
However, since you came to the shopkeeper and said that you want to open the bidding, but you suddenly do this, then it is a bit too deceptive, right?
Queen Ma frowned slightly, of course he knew that there must be some villain here.
However, her identity at this moment is just a shareholder of Lan Yunzhai, not the queen who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Otherwise, why would there be any need to spend so much money with these businessmen?
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, Empress Ma patiently explained to them: "You don't have to worry, the two stewards are discussing with us overseas distribution issues. As for local dealers in Ming Dynasty, they No interest whatsoever."
"So, even if Shopkeeper Lan has some kind of deal with them, I don't think it has much to do with you, right?"
"Of course, if any of you here can open up overseas markets, I can only say sorry to you here."
"If we at Lanyunzhai decide to hand over our overseas markets to these two managers, we will no longer be able to cooperate with you."
"Of course, if one of them is far stronger than those two, that would be a different matter."
Everyone fell silent.
What a joke
Being stronger than Shen Wansan? They dare not even think about such a thing.
Not to mention the family business, which was originally Zhou Gushan for voyage trade.
If it is true that the two of them have won the overseas distribution rights, and therefore have not taken action on China's local distribution rights.
They even had to burn incense to thank these two for their noble support. How could there be any feeling of dissatisfaction?
After Queen Ma's explanation, these businessmen finally calmed down.
"Since Mrs. Ma said so, let's give Mrs. Ma some face and wait for another two days to see."
"Mrs. Ma, we were indeed too excited before."
"However, a bidding conference will be held to openly recruit dealers. This should be done by Shopkeeper Lan, right? We have even prepared the money now. I hope Shopkeeper Lan will not disappoint us."
"Please rest assured about this." Empress Ma smiled and said: "No matter what, we will definitely hold a bidding meeting when we come to Yunzhai. We just need to consider the specific time. Please wait patiently."
After receiving the exact answer, these businessmen finally left with satisfaction.
After they left, Empress Ma also called a steward from Lanyunzhai, pointed at several people in the crowd and said, "Go and find out who those people are."
The shopkeeper of Lan Yunzhai suddenly looked confused: "Mrs. Ma, why are you checking these people?"
Empress Ma was speechless. There were really few people in Lanyunzhai who could handle the situation.
If it weren't for Lan Yunfeng's support, it would have fallen apart long ago.
"Those people just now were trying their best to cause trouble. They are probably sent by our competitors to ruin our good fortune."
"Send someone to check their identities first. Even if we don't do anything afterwards, it's still a good idea to know who our enemies are."
The steward of Lan Yunzhai suddenly realized: "Madam, you are absolutely right. I will send someone to check them out now."
After settling these matters, Queen Ma slowly came to the back house.
After Lan Yunfeng locked herself in the boudoir, Queen Ma didn't come over for several days.
She originally hoped that Lan Yunfeng could figure it out on her own.
As a result, after so many days, Lan Yunfeng still didn't show up.
First, she was worried that Lan Yunfeng would get into trouble, and second, she hoped that if Lan Yunfeng had any problems, she could help solve them in time.
Empress Ma is quite confident in this regard. When Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting for hegemony in the past, it was not without setbacks. He always advised Zhu Yuanzhang at critical moments.
The door of Lan Yunfeng's boudoir was closed tightly. She walked the queen over and knocked gently: "Sister, are you in there? Sister, I have nothing to do today. I just happened to come over to see you."
With a creak, the door to Lan Yunfeng's home opened.
Lan Yunfeng, who looked a little haggard, forced a smile and said, "What happened just now can be solved. If my sister hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid it would have caused irreparable consequences."
Empress Ma followed Lan Yunfeng into her boudoir: "What I said is obvious, isn't it? I am also a shareholder of Lan Yunzhai after all. If anything happens to Lan Yunzhai, wouldn't the money I invested be a waste of money?
Frozen?"
"So, sister is just doing it for the money?" Lan Yunfeng deliberately joked.
Queen Ma gave her a big eye roll: "What do you think, otherwise, why would I have come all the way here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Ma burst out laughing.
Influenced by Queen Ma, Lan Yunfeng also giggled.
After laughing, Lan Yunfeng's expression straightened: "Sister, I have something I don't know whether to ask or not."
When Queen Ma saw this, she couldn't help but become solemn: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Who is my sister?" When Lan Yunfeng asked this question, she stared at Queen Ma unblinkingly, as if to see if she was lying.
