After a night of silence, Wu Feng returned to his cabin, hugged the woman next to him and fell asleep peacefully. Knowing the general intention of the other party, although it is still unclear whether the other party is marrying someone or has other agendas, the other party's intention to win over him has been exposed, which makes Wu Feng feel relieved. It still takes a long time, so take your time. As long as the interests of both parties require it, there is nothing that cannot be traded. With this thought in his mind, Wu Feng once again inserted his body into the sleeping woman.
The morning light was bright, and the lazy Wu Feng finally got up from the entangled woman and returned to the cabin. Shi Long, Wen Ge and Liao Qichang were already waiting in the cabin. There may be other reasons for the crazy night. , made the three of them look a little sleepy, but they were all in good spirits. The light breakfast on the Xiangfang made Wu Feng and the others very satisfied. The level of these first-class hats is really not comparable to that of ordinary places, just From these unnoticed places, you can see its extraordinary features, which gave Wu Feng a better understanding of the owner of this fragrant boat.
There was nothing unusual at all. Liao Qichang greeted Wu Feng with a smile, as calmly as if nothing had happened. Shi and Wen exchanged pleasantries. When the two of them made another date, Wu Feng thanked the other party for their hospitality, then meaningfully squeezed Liao Qichang's fat hand and said goodbye. The two looked at each other in silence.
The guards who had been guarding the whole night were still in high spirits. When they got into the carriage, Wu Feng seemed a little absent-minded. Song Tianxiong finally took a breath. The night passed peacefully. He remembered that just like himself, the other party's guards also had a busy night. Song Tianxiong felt the gap between his team and the other party. This did not refer to the gap in his own martial arts, but the gap in his experience in guarding important tasks on such occasions.
The other party's guards had already surveyed the area around the room and selected several key locations for control. However, at this point, our own side seemed much more unfamiliar and immature. The captain of the Guards must work hard, otherwise he will regret it if something goes wrong at the critical moment. Maybe it is because his master comes to these occasions too rarely that he lacks experience, Song Tianxiong thought in his heart Such a weird idea.
The next two days seemed to be particularly quiet. Except for street tabloids and some media that focused on attracting the attention of young people, they were still speculating and arguing about the marriage of Li Wufeng, the military commander of the Northwest County and the governor of Northern Luzon. The important media in the empire were all Turning our attention to the selection of several important annual rankings.
The military operation of the Linlang family in the south to send troops to the Ronisian Alliance and Burma to "protect the survival interests of the Tang people in the region" ("Daily Express") also caused some shock in the imperial court and the public, but after Li Wufeng last time It seems that the actions of these two companies have been recognized by the government and the public. At least the emperor and some important ministers did not have a heated debate on this matter, even the conservatives who were expected to strongly oppose it at the beginning. The representatives only expressed some ambiguous opinions, and no fierce quarrels broke out like when Wu Feng sent troops to Northern Luzon, which made Wu Feng lament the injustice of the world. The media also reported impartially on this situation. Although it was not explicitly affirmed, the implication was very clear that the Tang people's survival interests would not be tolerated, even in other countries.
Regarding His Majesty the Emperor's strange attitude towards the Lin Lang family's military operations, Wu Feng vaguely felt that there had been a slight change in the empire's strategic policy. The three main divisions of the City Guard Corps went south to join the Five Lakes Theater to defend the three rivers and the south. The obvious reduction in the county's army forces irrefutably told Wu Feng who this was aimed at. It is conceivable how much pressure the Machihan people would be under. Wu Feng also had mixed feelings about His Majesty the Emperor's realistic change of mentality. , and also full of worries about his own future.
On the third day of the Spring Festival, the streets suddenly became lively. After visiting relatives and congratulating each other, people began to enjoy the rare leisure. From the third day to the fifteenth day of the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival is the most comfortable day for the Tang people. This period is the statutory rest period of the empire. In addition to various cultural celebrations, the business, entertainment and service industries must also pay close attention to During this period, there was a wave of consumption, and most of the administrative agencies and other industries in the empire were closed for rest.
The Empire General Chamber of Commerce is located on Guihu Avenue in South District 1. It is a building that does not look very eye-catching, but the style of this building is very simple and unique, giving people a lot of affinity. The building is a beam structure, and there are The brackets are horizontally rectangular, the exquisitely shaped curved roofs and cornices are all stunningly crafted and are considered masterpieces of Tang architectural art.
There are many teahouses and clubs of different sizes scattered around the General Chamber of Commerce. They are not only places for businessmen from all over the empire to rest, but also the best place for businessmen to obtain information and negotiate business. The headquarters of influential business media in the empire's business community are also gathered here. For example, the headquarters of several very influential newspapers and magazines such as "Empire Business Weekly" and "World Fortune" are here.
Fengming House is a large teahouse next to the Imperial General Chamber of Commerce. In fact, although it is a teahouse, it only has two floors. This teahouse is quite large. The first floor can accommodate three to four hundred people drinking tea and talking at the same time. The second floor The building has many private rooms for businessmen to discuss important business. Its location is also quite good, right between the General Chamber of Commerce and several business media headquarters, so it is full of people every day.
When Wu Feng, Qin Shuangying and Gu Mingxia, who were dressed as men, stepped into Fengming Building, although breakfast time had just passed, the spacious hall on the first floor was already mostly full. After choosing a suitable location, Wu Feng and Qin Gu sat among several groups of businessmen.
Wu Feng wanted to experience the folk life in the imperial capital. He had heard for a long time that the area near the Imperial General Chamber of Commerce was the best place to learn about the situation, and Fengming Tower was one of the best. Wu Feng wanted to know the situation personally, so he decided to take this incognito service. OK.
Judging from the situation, the enthusiasm of the businessmen today was very high. Wu Feng carefully observed the businessmen around him who were chatting happily. From time to time, newly arrived businessmen joined their respective groups, and they were obviously acquaintances. The waiters who shuttled back and forth to refill tea and water were very busy. From time to time, newsboys passed by delivering the latest newspapers and periodicals to the businessmen who needed to know the news. Wufeng's attention was quickly attracted by the dazzling look of a group of businessmen on the left. .
"Brother Huang, why are you still hoarding coffee? Now that the price has risen so high, it is not cost-effective for you to do so. Don't you know that Northern Luzon has been occupied by the empire and coffee will be shipped in large quantities soon? "?" A short and thin businessman asked concernedly about the fat man with a horse face sitting opposite.
"Hey, brother, this is my exclusive secret. If you want to know, how about spending time in the water today at noon?" The fat man with a horse face showed a proud smile on his face.
The short and thin businessman was probably eager to get the news, so he responded generously: "No problem, I will be the host at noon today, and we can all come together, and the flowers will bloom in the water."
Seeing that the short and thin businessman was so cheerful, the horse-faced man could no longer get the price, so he explained proudly: "Yes, Northern Luzon has indeed been owned by the empire, but as far as I know, from Qingyang in the northwest to the north The only roads in Luzon that are good are the Qingyang section, but the road conditions in Northern Luzon are very poor, and Northern Luzon has just been incorporated into the imperial rule, and people's hearts are not yet stable. I'm worried that the coffee production there this year may not be as good as last year, and The coffee produced in Luzon mainly comes from the original central and southern Luzon. The production in the north is not large at present, but everyone knows that the war between Luzon and neighboring countries is not extinguished, and the coffee production will definitely be greatly affected, and the war on the southern front has just begun. , there is no sign of a ceasefire at all, so I judge that coffee prices will rise this year.”
"Yes, I also heard that three divisions of the City Guards have gone south. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is determined to fight the Maci Khans. Sanjiang County and Tiannan County have already fought against the Nanyang Alliance. I'm sorry, I don't think you can count on the southern passage, the price of coffee will definitely rise." Another businessman also agreed.
"But I also got a piece of news. I heard that the situation in Northern Luzon is very stable. The road from Northern Luzon to Qingyang in the northwest is being intensified. I heard that the work will not stop even for the Spring Festival. But the Tang people there The quantity is not large, so it may not have any impact." A Jinpao businessman objected, "If the situation in Northern Luzon is stable and the road can be completed quickly, then the coffee production in Northern Luzon will definitely increase greatly. This is also true. You have to take it into consideration, Brother Huang."
"Well, I have considered this, but I have observed that coffee has become increasingly popular in the past few years, and the demand for coffee has also increased. I estimate that even if Northern Luzon expands production, it may not be enough to offset the increase in consumption. That’s why I concluded that the price of coffee will continue to rise. If you are interested, you can give it a try.” Although the horse-faced man looks like a pig, his brain is really useful. He not only takes into account the increase or decrease in production volume, but also considers the increase or decrease in production volume. to changes in consumption.
Wu Feng, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but take a closer look at this guy. Well, look at that fat man's appearance. The so-called pig-like face and bright heart probably refers to this kind of person.
"Oh, the Empire Business Opportunity Dynamics list has come out!" A businessman who was reading the newspaper shouted, which immediately aroused the concern of the businessmen and asked him to read it.
"The Empire Business Opportunity Vitality Ranking is exclusively sponsored by Yiren Rose Fragrance Dew," after reading this, the businessmen all yelled in unison, "***, Qianjiaofang's advertisements are all here."
"Main list of regional dispatchers: first place, Yuhang Prefecture, second place, Quanzhou Prefecture, third place, Jinling Prefecture. Regional ranking alternate list, first place, Jinzhou Prefecture, second place, Bashan Prefecture, third place Guide Prefecture. Another regional potential ranking list recommends Vito Prefecture in Northern Luzon. The reasons for the recommendation are that the infrastructure is good, the people are honest, the labor force is sufficient, and the products are rich, but there are certain risks." The businessman reading the newspaper was ups and downs, shaking his head. Very energetic.
"Hey, Northwest County only occupies two positions on the waiting list. Why do the people from Business Weekly and the General Chamber of Commerce have anything to do with Northwest County?" A businessman asked in confusion.
