He sneered in his heart, Huangkou Xiaoer was just talking big, could it really be possible to catch them and punish them
"My lord, why bother to mention anything else? Isn't your lord holding this tender meeting today to solve the silver problem in the Xiqi Corridor? The villain knows that this matter is of great importance, and it should have been allocated by the Ministry of Households, and it has nothing to do with our group of merchants." Is it something?" Old Master Zhu smiled like an old fox.
He intentionally brought up the household department because he knew that the household department would not be able to provide any money, so he did not support Ming Yu's decision at all. Now Ming Yu's only way out is to rely on merchants like them, doesn't he believe that he can't be ruled? If Ming Yu is really stubborn and refuses to give up half a point, he will ask everyone not to invest money and see who wins in the end.
Ming Yu flicked his sleeves, looking calm, "Do you think this king really depends on your little money? Tsk tsk!" He shook his head, and sighed contemptuously: "Are you all smart or stupid? Don't you I didn’t notice, what is the purpose of this king’s painstaking efforts to build the Xiqi Corridor? Isn’t it to make your business in the Western Regions safe and sound in the future? The purpose of pulling you into the shares is also to make you make money. This king treats you as a donkey’s liver and lungs with good intentions. How can such short-sightedness carry forward the family business."
Everyone can say beautiful words, but the old master Zhu sneered at Ming Yu's words, "Since the prince has called us together, it's fine to talk about business, and there is no need to involve other things. In fact, when the Xiqi Corridor is built, if we want to It is a due duty for merchants traveling west to pay customs duties. However, no one has noticed that no one has cared about the Xiqi Corridor for so long. Didn’t the older generation come here like this? For the villain, this is a matter of dispensation Well, since the prince talked about investment and the issue of distribution of benefits, of course we can raise our opinions. If the prince promises everything, it’s easy to talk about, but if he doesn’t agree, the villain really can’t afford such a large amount of money!”
Ming Yu smiled, "So, the Zhu family doesn't intend to participate?"
Mrs. Zhu stroked his beard triumphantly, and nodded: "If the prince is willing to raise another 20% of the profit, the villain will certainly be willing to pay the money."
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Ming Yu clapped his hands exaggeratedly, "Since the Zhu family doesn't want to, it's fine. Come here, remove the Zhu family's quota, and there is no need to sign any contracts."
"What?" Old Master Zhu's eyes widened. What did he mean by that? What is the removal of Zhu's quota? Isn't Duan Wang in a hurry to spend money? He has already made it so clear that the Zhu family is willing to pay, just to increase the profit.
snort! Who did King Duan think he was? If he kicked out all the merchants here, where would he go to raise money? The Ma family and the Zhou family alone are just a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of this, my flustered heart calmed down again, "My lord, are you sure what you said is true? Not only our Zhu family, but the Wang family and 80% of the merchants present here mean that they are villains. Could it be that the lord really got the money No, exclude all of us?"
Ming Yu nodded with a smile, and responded very simply, "Yes! If you don't agree to my terms, then naturally you won't be able to agree. If that's the case, why waste everyone's time. Of course, everyone present, if you really want to Give up this opportunity to make money, the king can't force it, can't he?"
The old man Zhu lost face, he didn't expect Ming Yu to dismiss him like this. Talking about business, of course, you have to talk about it to make a deal. How could you issue an order to evict customers because of a disagreement
He has experienced a lot of wind and rain in his life, and he has seen countless life forms, but he has never seen Ming Yu like this.
He glanced around, and everyone remained silent, as if they were weighing the current situation. Even Master Wang was bowing his head in thought at this moment, not following him as usual.
Mrs. Zhu was a little annoyed. He hated iron but not steel. Shouldn't everyone have the same attitude at this moment? He also understands that the time is too tight, and he has not been able to discuss a real countermeasure with the big guys for a while. The sudden situation now caused everyone's unsteady hearts to waver even more at this time.
He tried to save, "Everyone, I believe you have the same thoughts as this old man, right? Everyone is a businessman, and even parents, wives and children have to give in to their interests. Everyone should speak out what is in their hearts. Therefore, it is presumably not a matter of course and right to pay money for profit regardless of everyone's demands."
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. Some are shaken, and some want to take another look at the situation.
"Ahem!" A voice came from the crowd, "The thoughts of the old man alone really can't represent the thoughts of all of us."
Everyone looked up, but it was Ma Patriarch who stood up, and he bowed his hands to Ming Yu and everyone, "Ma Siyong, the Patriarch of the Ma Family in Xiajing City, is willing to sign the contract for the first-class investment line. The contract has been filled out. Take a look."
Ming Yu smiled, asked someone to take the contract, flipped through it casually, and nodded after confirming that it was correct. Then it was shown around for everyone to see, there were many signatures and handprints in black and white.
It was difficult for everyone to make a decision for a while, what should they do? Following Patriarch Zhu to raise the price, he followed Patriarch Ma to sign the contract smoothly.
At first, I thought it would be good to get more profit, but now I am not sure. At least the benefits promised by Duan Wang are already quite a lot, which is very exciting. If you can't chew too much and ask Duan Wang to write himself down, the gain will outweigh the loss!
Old Master Zhu's face was ashen. What kind of trouble did the Ma family come out to cause at this critical moment? Didn't he make an agreement with him before, don't make trouble if he doesn't get involved? This is to demolish his platform on purpose!
"Everyone, this king knows that you pay attention to profit in business, and no one will do it without profit. Everyone understands this opportunity. As for whether you can grasp it or not, it's all up to you." Ming Yu ignored Old Master Zhu , said loudly: "The king hereby announces that the first ten merchants who sign the contract today, no matter how many times they sign, will have a big gift."
Patriarch Ma asked in surprise: "There is another big gift? But I don't know what kind of gift the prince is talking about?"
When Ming Yu raised his hand, the servants rushed in one after another. Each of them held a tray in their hands, covered with a red cloth.
Everyone was very curious, what would it be that King Duan could give as a gift
Fortunately, the answer to the mystery was soon revealed. Ming Yu gently pulled away the red cloth of a plate, and saw a crystal-clear and strangely shaped cup presented in front of everyone.
Everyone sighed, they heard that only the emperor Fanbang Jinxian had the crystal glaze, and the Great Yan Kingdom was not satisfied with the number of them. Although this thing is not like the colorful brilliance of crystal colored glaze, it is as clear and clear as crystal colored glaze. Is this something that they have never seen before, the gift that King Duan said just now? This is too extravagant, right? Obviously, this is not an ordinary thing. If they are lucky enough to get one, it will be enough for them to show off in this lifetime.
"Here are ten crystal glasses, they came back from the Western Regions thousands of miles away, and I will give them away as soon as I say so. It's a rare opportunity!" Ming Yu raised his eyebrows and said it deliberately.
In fact, if this thing is not something he is used to, it might still be the same as them. In terms of value, the rarer it is, the more precious it is!
At this time, no one would care about the distribution of Mr. Zhu's benefits. Duan Wang said that there are top ten people, and now that the Ma family has signed, there are only nine places. Hurry up, I can't even take a sip of the soup.
Everyone swarmed up and rushed to find the person in charge. They were destined to fight for the ten glasses.
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated nutrient solution during 2021-02-13 22:27:41~2021-02-14 23:25:29~
Thanks to the little angels of the irrigation nutrient solution: 5 bottles of Shanren no meow; 3 bottles of carefree168; thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
132. Chapter 132
The instigator, Ming Yu, looked at this scene very calmly, and gave a knowing smile, ignoring the desperation of the person in charge at the moment.
Old Master Zhu was furious, these short-sighted bastards didn't care about future interests at all. Bewildered by the small profit in front of you, you lose a lot because of a small one. If you can't handle King Duan this time, there will be no room for change in the future, and everything can only be decided by King Duan.
In fact, why doesn't he envy the ten leaders, ten crystal glasses, hard to buy! King Duan's skill is extraordinary, he can present this kind of precious thing that has never been seen before, how many people in the world can resist the temptation
However, he had offended King Duan just now, and these treasures have nothing to do with him at this time. Moreover, he still doesn't know what Duan Wang just meant by excluding the Zhu family from the list? Could it be that he really intends not to accept the money invested by their Zhu family
Now that the general situation is gone, he will definitely not be able to accomplish anything if he fights alone, so is there any chance for him to recover
He glanced at Ming Yu who was having a good time talking with Prime Minister Wen at the moment, and he was a little uncertain. This opportunity was just like what Ming Yu said, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Even the Wang family, who had been following their Zhu family, ignored him and rushed to sign the contract. This kind of thing is all taking care of each other, who has time to care about him? If the Zhu family misses this opportunity, will the Zhu family still be able to gain a foothold in the future
