Early in the morning, Ma Zhou hurried into the small courtyard.
"Master, as you expected, other shops in Huxian County are closing one after another, and like the Lu family, only one or two people are left to guard the shops, and everyone else has left. Chen Yifa from Huxian Development Company
, Huang Meili has sent people to negotiate, hoping to acquire these shops, but these merchants have no intention of selling the shops. This must be the Lu family's doing." Ma Zhou said worriedly.
Du He was very calm, picked up a piece of paper on the table and handed it to Ma Zhou.
This is the information sent by Venomous Fang just now.
Ma Zhou looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Is Lu Mingyou crazy? He is actually willing to give away so many things? Judging from the things on it, they are worth at least 200,000 yuan. No matter how rich Lu is,
I can’t afford to be so prodigal.”
Du He said: "Lu Mingyou is not crazy, this guy has big plans."
Ma Zhou wondered: "But, can everyone else really listen to Lu?"
Du He said: "This group of nobles will definitely unite as one in this matter. Firstly, in recent years, the Dream Group has become too popular and has suddenly emerged. We have developed on the corpses of these old nobles, cutting off people and money.
Just like murdering parents, now, the old nobles like the Lu family are eager for the collapse of Dream Group. Of course they will not let go of such an opportunity. Secondly, we have underestimated the influence of the Lu family. As one of the five surnames and seven people in the world,
One hope is that although the Lu family lives deep in Fan Yang, their power in Chang'an City cannot be underestimated. The dignitaries in the court and the rich people in Chang'an have more or less contacts with the Lu family. Now, Lu Mingyou gives an order
We have already made it clear that we will fight to the end, and of course they will follow us."
Ma Zhou sighed, "This time, our enemy is not simple!"
Du He said with a smile: "The soldiers came to block the water and cover it with earth. By the way, I heard that Changsun's shop has also begun to close, and it was Changsun Chong who came to Hu County to open it in person?"
"That's right!"
"Come on, come with me to pay a visit to my good apprentice."
…
Changsun's family is located in the county seat of Hu County and has a total of twelve shops.
In the past, this was just an inconspicuous shop in Sikong Mansion.
But later on, it became more and more popular and its income was considerable, surpassing the income of other counties around Chang'an.
Therefore, Sikong Mansion placed its business focus on Hu County.
Now, all these shops are closed.
In order to avoid trouble, Changsun Chong came to preside over it himself.
In the lobby of one of the shops, Chang Sun Chong crossed his legs and said to the twelve shopkeepers: "Why are you looking so sad, as if you are mourning your heir? Can't you trust me? The closure is only temporary. It will not exceed a month and can be repeated.
It’s time to open the business and make money. Lu has promised that by then, 30% of the business of Dream Group will belong to our Sikong Mansion. Don’t you envy the things of Dream Group? By then, you can also participate.”
That's right, when Lu Mingyou came to negotiate terms with Sikong Mansion, he had already divided up the entire Dream Group.
Otherwise, how could Sikong Mansion be involved in this matter.
At this time, a young boy ran in and reported: "Sir, Prince Consort Du has come to pay a visit!"
"Du He came to visit? Hahaha, okay, Du He, Du He, I didn't expect you to have this day... You all go down. Before dark today, all the shops will be closed and all people will be evacuated. Who dares to do it?"
Okay, I will break his legs and get out!" Changsun Chongyi said angrily, "Go and call Du He over!"
When Du He walked into the lobby, Changsun Chong was sitting upright on a chair, shaking the folding fan in his hand. When he saw Du He, he showed no intention of getting up to greet him.
Du He came over and sat down. Changsun said calmly: "Didn't you see that my master has a guest? Let's serve tea!"
The servant next to me hurriedly brought a cup, but it contained only plain water and not even a single tea leaf.
Du He smiled and said, "Good disciple, is this how you treat your master?"
Changsun Chong said a little unhappy: "Du He, don't talk nonsense. I was forced to become your master when I was forced. How can it be considered a master-disciple relationship? Besides, you are still a kid when you force me to do so."
How can you be my teacher when you are 2 years old and have no virtue or talent? Isn’t this a joke? "
"Forget it, since Mr. Changsun doesn't want to, then that's it," Du He waved his hand and said straight to the point, "Mr. Changsun, I won't make any detours with you. I'm here to visit you today just for one thing. Can you see me?
In the face of the people of Hu County, we should give up closing the shops and businesses of Sikong Mansion in Hu County? Sikong Mansion is a big business in Hu County and is involved in many industries. Once these businesses are no longer available, we, the people of Hu County, will
and foreign businessmen will suffer great inconvenience."
"Hahaha……"
Hearing this, the eldest grandson suddenly laughed heartily, "Du He, I didn't expect that you would also humble yourself and beg for help."
"No, I'm just negotiating with you."
"It's already this time, why are you still pretending to be here? I'm not afraid to tell you, Du He, you are finished, not only my Changsun family, but after a while, all shops and businesses in Hu County will be closed down, Hu
This poor place in the county has suddenly become a prosperous place for business just because of the emergence of the tax bureau. But do you think that once the business in the entire county is closed, will those businessmen from other places still come? By then, Hu County will again
It has become a dead city... However, there is no room for change in this matter. Du He, as long as you hand over the secret recipe for glass manufacturing, our Sikong Mansion will not close the business, and will even secretly help you fight against the Lu family. You
What do you think?" Changsun Chong looked at Du He and said.
Glass manufacturing is definitely a hugely profitable industry. Not only the Lu family, but also the Changsun family covets it.
Du He was stunned when he heard this, "Glass manufacturing is the pillar industry of my Dream Group. How can we give it away easily? This is absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, is there no other way?"
Changsun Chong shook his head: "There is no room for negotiation."
"Oh, it seems there is nothing we can do. If that's the case, then forget it." Du He looked disappointed.
He stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Chang Sun Chong.
Changsun Chong said: "Du He, your good days have come to an end. There is one more thing. You should declare to the world immediately that I have no master-disciple relationship with you. I am not your apprentice, and you are not qualified to be my teacher.
If this is the case, when you die in the future, I might be able to reward you with three melons and two dates, so you should think about it carefully."
Du He looked lonely, "There is no need to think about this matter. When I get back, I will declare to the world that I will take my leave."
With that said, Du He walked out of the room.
Changsun Chong sat on the chair and looked up to see Du He's lonely back walking on the somewhat desolate street.
He couldn't help laughing and said, "Look, does Du He look like a dog?"
