Chapter 175: Toast, not eat, eat, drink and make up for it)
ps: This chapter is for the reward of the villain leader Ω_.
The smuggling business behind the scenes in Jianzhou Prefecture is actually no different from other places in Guanzhong. They are all a mess, both internally and externally.
If they join together, they can lower the purchase price and then raise the selling price, just like Chu Xiu said.
At present, most of the caravans from the Three Kingdoms in Guanzhong come to Guanzhong in a hurry, and then sell the contraband they carry to local snakes and hide it with them. This way they can avoid being discovered by the people in the Guanzhong torture hall.
.
The past routine was that these smuggled contrabands had no fixed price. Foreign businessmen set the price, and local martial arts forces purchased it. If the price you quoted was too low, those businessmen from other countries would most likely find other forces.
The same goes for martial arts forces like them who purchase some smuggled contraband and sell it for takeout. The price should not be too expensive, otherwise they will have to find other aristocratic families. Anyway, there are more than ten martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture.
And if they follow what Chu Xiu said, they can lower the price to the extreme and at the same time raise the price to the extreme. By that time, their income may really double.
Of course, whether it is lowering or raising, it cannot be too exaggerated. Otherwise, those businessmen from other countries are not idiots. At most, they can just leave for a while and go to other state capitals to trade.
At this time, those present were thinking about how many times their profits could be doubled if Chu Xiu did this. Only the ancestor of the Luo family was the first to ask: "Master Chu, we have seen the benefits you mentioned. If you do this,
What do you want from us?"
Chu Xiu glanced at the ancestor of the Luo family, and then said slowly: "I said, now that I have the power and you have money, naturally what I want is money.
As a warrior, which of the various cultivation resources cannot be purchased with money? It’s also time for my brothers who are the inspectors of Jianzhou Prefecture to start eating meat.
After you and I cooperate, I will send my subordinates into your family, not to interfere with your business, but only to count your income. From now on, 20% of each of your family's income will be mine."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar and looked at Chu Xiu as if they had seen a ghost.
They had heard before that Chu Xiu was extremely greedy when dealing with the Jiang family. He was like a lion and wanted one-tenth of the Jiang family's property. Now they saw that it was indeed the case. Chu Xiu's appetite
They really thought it was a big deal, this time they didn’t ask for property, but directly asked for 20% of their business!
The family property was given in one lump sum, but 20% of the business income was continuously exploited. How could they endure this?
Cheng Gongtai of the Shenyu Sect immediately stood up and said: "Master Chu, you want 20% of our business right now. Why? Just based on the idea you just had? I'm afraid this is a bit too much?"
Chu Xiu turned the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "That idea is just an extra gift from me. The more money you make, the more income I will make.
As for why I want 20% of your income, I have made it very clear before. You have money, but I have the right."
Chu Xiu looked up at Cheng Gongtai, and a cold and cold breath hit his face, making Cheng Gongtai shiver immediately.
"Don't forget where this is. There are some businesses that I let you do so you can do them. If I don't let you do them, you won't even get a single copper!"
Everyone present looked at Chu Xiu, and it was only now that they saw Chu Xiu's tyranny.
Apparently it was a cooperation between the two parties, and Chu Xiu got 20% of the profits, but now that Chu Xiu said this, they realized that the so-called 20% of the profits were just protection fees!
By handing over 20% of the profits, they can carry out smuggling business in Jianzhou Prefecture openly and form a monopoly, with the inspector Chu Xiu escorting them.
But if they don't hand it over, the fate of the Jiang family will already be in front of everyone's eyes. They will be directly accused of a crime without any evidence, and they will be exterminated directly.
Chu Xiu looked at the people in front of him, raised the wine glass in his hand and said calmly: "This glass of wine is for you. After drinking it, our cooperation has begun. You can make your own choices."
Everyone present looked at each other, and no one raised their glasses.
A 20% profit is simple to say, but it is cutting their flesh, cutting their own flesh, who doesn't feel bad? And once this flesh is cut, it lasts a lifetime.
Although the benefits described by Chu Xiu seem very moving, who is willing to cut their own flesh like this before seeing certain benefits?
And although the Jiang family was wiped out last time, they were shocked, but now there are more than a dozen of them together, and their power is not comparable to that of the Jiang family.
Chu Xiu can destroy one Jiang family, but can he also destroy them all?
The most important thing is that if most people agree, others will have no choice but to agree even if they are heartbroken.
But now everyone is silent. Whoever is the first to raise a glass in agreement, wouldn’t that be an idiot who takes the initiative to cut off the flesh? So no one has spoken until now.
After a long while, Chu Xiu put down his cup and said calmly: "It seems that I, Chu Xiu, don't have enough dignity. I took the initiative to toast and no one drank.
But it doesn’t matter, I believe you will drink this glass of wine one day, so you can leave.”
Hearing what Chu Xiu said, everyone present immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that with more than a dozen people from various factions gathered together, Chu Xiu could not move them, nor did he have the strength to move them.
Everyone said a few words and then left directly. In an instant, the huge restaurant became somewhat empty.
Seeing this appearance, Du Guangzhong walked to Chu Xiu and said hesitantly: "Sir..."
Chu Xiu raised his hand, interrupted Du Guangzhong's words, picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink wine as a penalty!"
Majesty is always more memorable than kindness, and this is true everywhere.
Most people remember to eat but not to be beaten. Only when they are hurt by being beaten or are afraid of being beaten can they remember.
It's not that they are stupid, nor that they are greedy, but because of human nature, there are always only a few people who can truly see themselves clearly in this arena.
"Lao Du, I heard that some of these forces said bad things about me?" Chu Xiu suddenly asked.
Du Guangzhong nodded and said: "Someone said that they are slandering you, Your Excellency, for not having good intentions this time, and want to join forces with the martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture to boycott you, Your Excellency.
The people who spoke were Cheng Gongtai, the leader of the Shenyu Sect, Piaoyu Feifan, and Dou Weihu, the leader of the Black Rock Hall. My informants found out from the people of the Luo family. There is absolutely no such thing.
wrong."
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said to Du Guangzhong: "Go and tell Qin Fang and Liu Chengli to gather with their confidants. Remember, as long as the confidants are elite, the weakest ones must also be innate."
Turning around, Chu Xiu said to King Ghost Hand again: "King Ghost Hand, everyone on your side has also gathered together and is ready to stand by."
After joining the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, the Ghost Hand King and others did not have a specific scope of authority. They just stayed with Chu Xiu and were on standby. Moreover, the person in charge of them was still the Ghost Hand King.
Yan Bugui is not good at managing these things, but Tang Ya finds it troublesome and doesn't care about these small powers at all, so these things are still managed by the Ghost Hand King.
Anyway, he is not weak in strength, and the most important thing is that he has the highest prestige among the killers who came from the Blue Dragon Society, so he is just right to handle this kind of thing.
Du Guangzhong thought of something and his expression changed slightly, while the Ghost Hand King nodded naturally.
He has done this kind of thing a lot in the Qinglong Club, and the Ghost Hand King has long been used to it.
Even if their strength was sufficient just now, the Ghost Hand King would have wanted to kill these people present. Anyway, in his opinion, they were all a bunch of shameless guys.
After all these martial arts forces had left, Chu Xiu's elite men also gathered directly. There were close to a hundred innate warriors. This number was unmatched by any martial arts force in Jianzhou Prefecture.
"Let's do it. Go to the Shenyu Sect and let some people know that it is actually necessary to control your mouth."
Chu Xiu gave an order, and his men immediately took action, hiding their whereabouts in secret, and headed towards the mountain gate where the Shenyu Sect was located.
When Chu Xiu made some moves, the leader of the Shenyu Sect, Cheng Gongtai, had already returned to the sect.
He had never been very interested in Chu Xiu's domineering way of doing things. This time when he heard Chu Xiu say that he wanted 20% of their profits, he was the first to stand up and refute.
Moreover, he didn't say a word about Chu Xiu's conditions, that is, he saw Chu Xiu's ambition from Chu Xiu.
It would be okay to send people to their sect's internal monitoring accounts and control their financial lifeline. It would be okay if it took a short time, but if it took only a short time, then Chu Xiu would really become the overlord of all the sects in their Jianzhou Prefecture.
.
Cheng Gongtai absolutely couldn't bear this kind of thing. He didn't know if other people had seen Chu Xiu's ambition. Anyway, he had seen it, and Cheng Gongtai was going to tell other sects later that Chu Xiu would be killed.
Tell the others about his ambition and let all the martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture unite to resist Chu Xiu. They themselves can also cooperate.
Although Chu Xiu showed his ambition this time, the idea he proposed was really good.
In the past, these martial arts forces in their Jianzhou Prefecture fought on their own and were still rubbing against each other. If they really unite as Chu Xiu said, each monopolizes a business, lowers the purchase price, and raises the selling price, then
The income of several of their sects will definitely increase beyond their imagination.
Their business can still go on without Chu Xiu, so why do they have to get a Supreme Emperor above their heads?
Cheng Gongtai thought so, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he was ready to ask his disciples to inform other sects to come to their Shenyu Sect to discuss matters.
But at this moment, a disciple hurriedly pushed in the door and said in panic: "Master! It's not good! The people at the inspection hall of Jianzhou Prefecture have surrounded our mountain gate!"
