The next morning, Su Ren was awakened by the noise outside the door. He lay on the bed and asked Manniu what happened. Manniu said that a group of businessmen had arrived, vying to see Su Ren. Su Ren looked depressed and was doing business by himself.
They have some abilities, but shouldn't they be known to the world? Moreover, these people came by chance, sooner rather than later. After Su Ren released the news and joined forces with Liu Buyu, they came in droves. Among them
The taste is just not right.
"Go and ask General Hou to put them in. I'll wash my face and come right away!"
Manniu agreed. Su Ren started to get up. He slept too late last night waiting for news about Han Qing. He got up from the bed and felt uncomfortable all over. He applied cold water on his face and regained his consciousness. Su Ren began to think about these merchants swarming around him.
As for the meaning behind it.
In the lobby of the courtyard, there was a room full of people, and the leader turned out to be Sang Yuji. Sang Yuji looked very haggard, his cheeks were sunken, but he was still in good spirits, but he didn't dare to look at Su Ren.
Sitting there with a smile on his face, whenever Su Ren looked at him, he quickly looked away.
"Mr. Su, I heard that you are going to start a business partnership with the eldest son. I wonder if it is true or not?" someone asked aloud.
Su Ren glanced at the man and saw that he was a fat and short man. Han Qing on the side quickly leaned into Su Ren's ear and whispered: "It's from Liang Ji Cloth Shop, a small workshop."
Su Ren looked at the fat man and nodded: "Shopkeeper Liang is right. This is true. If you want to participate, I have no objection. It just requires three hundred gold to start. If you don't have the strength, then I'll be embarrassed."
."
"Three hundred gold, so much?" Shopkeeper Liang took a breath: "May I ask what Mr. Su is going to do? Do you need so much money?"
"Only partners are qualified to know business secrets. I'm sorry I can't tell you until shopkeeper Liang gets three hundred gold."
The crowd began to discuss. Three hundred gold is not a small sum. Liu Buhao, a noble prince, spent half his life frugally to get three hundred gold. Even if an ordinary small businessman can make money again, he may not have this strength in his whole life. Far from it.
Not to mention, Sang Yuji and a group of big merchants, led by Liu Hong, went to Jiangsu City in a mighty manner, bringing only nine hundred gold in total.
Su Ren opened his mouth and asked for the bottom line of three hundred gold. Many of the merchants who came here backed down. I thought that Su Ren would be happy to accept the money if he paid for it, but unexpectedly, there were times when he couldn't give away the money.
Sang Yuji stood up and saluted Su Ren: "Mr. Su, can you give me a lower price? None of the people here today are wealthy businessmen. Three hundred gold for each family may be a bit difficult."
"Hahaha! This business of mine is big and profitable, so it is naturally more expensive." Su Ren glanced at Sang Yuji, who quickly lowered his head: "However, shopkeeper Sang can be considered an old friend. Seeing that Sang Yuji
Let me give you an idea from the shopkeeper. Each household may not be able to provide 300 gold. Can you raise funds? Each family will contribute a little, just collect enough 300 gold. When dividends are distributed in the future, they will be distributed according to the amount of money contributed.
It’s also a good idea.”
Many people nodded repeatedly and agreed with Su Ren's method. But some people seemed to understand what Su Ren meant. If they unite and only hold one share, it means that all Huainan merchants will have no say in front of Su Ren.
Everyone is a merchant, so they naturally understand the meaning of so-called cooperation. With so many people paying three hundred gold but no say, he undoubtedly tied them to Su Ren or Liu Buhai's car.
Su Ren was observing everyone's expressions and movements, hoping to see something from them. These businessmen came here strangely. Did they really take a fancy to their own business abilities? Something seemed wrong; or maybe they took a fancy to what they were about to do.
Buying and selling? They don’t know at all. Why? Someone instigated it? Who? What is the purpose?
While drinking tea, Su Ren swept his eyes across everyone's face, and finally fell on Sang Yuji. When Su Ren's eyes looked at him, Sang Yuji seemed to be electrocuted, and he trembled all over and quickly turned his head to
elsewhere.
Su Ren put down the tea cup: "Everyone, I've said that, I warmly welcome anyone who wants to invest in the investment. If you don't have enough financial resources, you have to find a way on your own. If you have nothing else, please come back." After that, Su Ren stood up and left.
The merchants had a boring discussion. Some gathered together to talk enthusiastically, while others walked out the door dejected. When Sang Yuji went out, he looked back and saw that there was no one in the empty yard, so he had to get into his own house.
The horse-drawn carriage followed the large procession to the street.
There were still people in Sang Yuji's carriage. Liu Hong and Zuo Wu were sitting inside. Seeing Sang Yuji coming out dejectedly, Zuo Wu said, "Is something wrong?"
Sang Yuji nodded: "Su Ren agreed to our investment, but we need 300 gold. After looking at all the merchants in Huainan, no one can afford 300 gold."
"This is an excuse, which shows that the relationship between Su Ren and the eldest son is not as simple as a business deal."
"This is natural, but we must not forget that Su Ren was born as a merchant. In just a few years, he went from a beggar to a wealthy businessman. Most people would never be able to do it. The goods flowing out of Shu every day are all related to Su Ren. If Liu
If you really hook up with Su Ren, at least you won't have to worry about money." Liu Hong knew Su Ren's business skills very well. Su Ren's first business line was opened under Liu Hong's eyes: "Yes.
With financial support, Liu Buhao can gather strength and win over people. As soon as the news came out yesterday, the father couldn't wait to call Liu Buhao into the palace. This was a signal."
"But since we don't have three hundred gold, we can't get in with Su Ren. Naturally, we have no way of knowing whether his business dealings with the eldest son are true or false!"
Sang Yuji remained silent and sat quietly listening to the discussion between Liu Hong and Zuo Wu. He really didn't want to have anything to do with Su Ren. He almost died at the foot of Qingyun Mountain because of his talk last time, although Su Ren promised to return the favor.
His own property, but there are conditions. He is a businessman, so he has two ends, and he still has obstacles in his heart.
Liu Hong glanced at Sang Yuji: "Mr. Sang, what do you think we should do?"
Sang Yuji shook his head: "If you don't have three hundred gold, you can only watch."
"Don't think about money first. If I give you three hundred gold, can you guarantee that you will find out the secret between Su Ren and Liu Buhai?"
"this……"
Zuo Wu quickly dissuaded Liu Hong: "Young Master, think twice. No matter what happens between Su Ren and the eldest son, the most worrying thing is the Crown Prince. We just need to watch from the sidelines. There is no need to pay three hundred gold for this!"
"
Liu Hong smiled faintly and said: "If you think so, you are looking down on Su Ren!"
After sending the merchants away, Su Ren had nothing to do. As the envoy of King Hengshan, he had expressed Liu Ci's intention through Zuo Wu and Wu, and was just waiting for Liu An to formally summon him and give him a clear answer. After Liu An
Before being summoned, Su Ren's daily job was to wait in the other courtyard. Being disturbed by the merchants, Su Ren couldn't sleep well and wanted to go back to make up for it, but Han Qing followed him like a tail, making Su Ren follow him like a tail.
Su Ren was embarrassed to go to bed again.
He yawned more than a dozen times in a row and asked Manniu to make himself a large cup of strong tea. After drinking it, he felt better: "Mr. Han, what do you think the purpose of this group of merchants is here today?"
"Someone ordered it!"
"who?"
Han Qing shook his head: "It's hard to say. Liu Qian, Liu Hong and all Liu An's sons are possible. The most likely ones are these two."
Su Ren nodded: "Mr. Han has unique vision. If Liu Qian's downfall is easy, he will definitely give us three hundred gold to support us. If Liu Hong is in trouble, I have the impression that this man has been fighting with me for so many years.
Not only is he cunning and thick-skinned, this is Shouchun, and this kid has absolutely no scruples in what he does, which is very detrimental to us."
Han Qing agreed: "Then shall our business with Liu Buhai continue?"
"Of course, Huainan has always been a country within a country. Normally no outsider can gain a foothold in Shouchun, and even the imperial court has no choice. This time there is such a good opportunity, why not take advantage of it? The wine shop on Changxing Street must be opened, and finally
It’s better to find a dark one, one light and one dark is the safest.”
"Shuo Shu is available!"
Su Ren shook his head: "Shuo Shu is still holding on to a bit of luck and has not completely listened to us, so we have to be cautious. It is best not to let him know things that he should not know."
Han Qing nodded: "Apart from Shuo Shu, the only place in Shouchun City that can do dark spots is Qingyun Mountain."
"Forget about them, just choose them. In fact, the Green Forest people are much more reliable than the merchants." Su Ren thought for a moment: "You should set off now, go to Liu Buhao's house with great fanfare, and arrange for Liu Jian to find a shop in Changxing Street.
The matter must be carried out with great fanfare, and the more intensive our cooperation with Liu Buhai, the better."
Han Qing smiled: "Here!"
Just as Han Qing left, Sang Yuji came again, bringing three hundred gold with him. Su Ren looked at him with deep meaning: "Sang, shopkeeper, is so skillful. You found three hundred gold so quickly?"
Sang Yuji said humbly: "Mr. Su is laughing at me. I don't own this money alone. It was collected by all the merchants in Huainan. Everyone thinks that Mr. Su is good at doing business and the business you want to do will definitely make money."
"If you say that, I don't dare to take the money. If I lose, won't you want to eat me?"
"Mr. Su is joking." Sang Yuji said with a weird smile on his face.
Su Ren didn't smile, but stared at Sang Yuji coldly. The expression on Sang Yuji's face changed continuously, from a weird smile to embarrassment, and then from embarrassment to fear. He stared at it for a long time before saying: "Shopkeeper Sang.
Understand one thing, since you have made a choice, you must do it carefully. It is a bad idea to be in both directions. Liu Hong probably doesn’t know that you are mine, right? Otherwise, I won’t let you come forward. I don’t know that this matter has been
What was Liu Hong's reaction when he found out, but I'm sure I will be very angry if it happens again."
Sang Yuji quickly knelt on the ground: "Sir, please spare your life. My wife, children, and children are all in Shouchun. If Liu Hong finds out, I'm worried..."
"Then do your job well. As long as you follow my instructions, I will have a way to protect the lives of your family! Have you figured out what I asked you to inquire about?" Su Ren's face was dark, as if he was a superior. (Unfinished)
