"What?"
In the reception room of the "Headquarters Building" of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, everyone's expressions changed after listening to Li Ke's words. Before Li Ke came, they all thought that this cooperation was already certain, but they did not expect that such a person would be waiting for them. The answer was that Li Zexuan refused directly!
"Your Highness, are you saying that Marquis Yong'an does not agree to sell the marketing rights of Qiquge Workshop's products in the West to us?"
Anshun hesitated for a moment, stood up and raised his hand to Li Ke and asked.
He suspected that he had just heard it wrong!
"That's right!"
Li Ke nodded, cherishing the words like gold.
Ever since he learned from Li Zexuan that there were merchants from Anguo and Kangguo in Taiyuan City who wanted to harm Li Tai, Li Ke also disliked these nine-surnamed Hu merchants in front of him, even though they could bring substantial benefits to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. But now in this situation, he still has to deal with money!
"May I ask your highness, why does the Marquis disagree? Do you think the price is too low, or do you have other concerns? We come here with sincerity. If the Marquis is dissatisfied with anything, we can discuss it again!"
Hearing an affirmative answer from Li Ke again, An Shuncai and others couldn't help but look at each other, their hearts froze. After taking a deep breath, An Shuncai, as the current representative of the nine-surnamed Hu Shang, asked again.
He had to figure out the reason for Li Zexuan's refusal and whether there was any room for change in the matter. He was not afraid that Li Zexuan refused because he disliked the price being too low, because then they could increase the price and even double the price would make Anshun think it was a good deal. , because almost all the products of Qiquge Workshop are huge profits. After they get the marketing rights, they can make back their capital in less than a year!
What Anshun is really afraid of is that there is no room for change in this matter!
Kang Fuliang and others obviously understand this truth. At this moment, their eyes are looking directly at Li Ke. Li Ke's next words will determine whether their future business can go smoothly!
Cao Wendong, Lin Wenyuan and other members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce are all very happy at this moment, because if Li Zexuan does not cooperate with these nine surnamed Hu merchants, then they, the members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, will not be allocated a share of the Qiquge Workshop products. Reduced, and when their power grows, they can sell Qiquge's products to the countries in the Western Regions. Who says they can't do business with other countries? By then, they might even be able to completely annex and replace the nine-surnamed Hu merchants from various places!
Those are the nine surnames of Zhaowu who are famous for their business! It is said that some Hu businessmen with nine surnames have businesses in more than a dozen countries, with a fortune of tens of millions, and are as rich as any other country. When they think of having the opportunity to surpass and replace these Hu businessmen with nine surnames, Cao Wendong, Lin Wenyuan and others are all excited, and they secretly rejoice that they were with them in the first place. By the way, "Boss"!
"Sir, the cooperation is absolutely impossible! Not only that, from now on, the Yanhuang Bank in Datang will no longer provide any services to Kangguo and Anguo merchants, including lending, storing and exchanging Tang Yuan, until the king of Kangguo Until King An Guo gives me a satisfactory explanation to Datang!"
Li Ke's eyes were like lightning, staring straight at An Shuncai in front of him. His majesty as a king was revealed unconsciously, and he spoke in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, in the reception room, both Cao Wendong and others, as well as An Shuncai and others, looked shocked. The difference was that in addition to shock, there was also panic on the faces of Anshunshan and others!
Yes, that’s right, it’s panic!
If Yanhuang Bank stops providing services to them in the future, they will be passive in doing business in Datang!
"how so?"
An Shuncai, Kang Fuliang and others stared at each other and couldn't help but look at each other. They said that they were here to discuss the marketing rights today. Not only did they not get the marketing rights, why did Yanhuang Bank stop cooperating with them
"Please make it clear to Your Highness how we have offended His Highness or the Marquis. If so, we are willing to kowtow and apologize. We hope that Your Highness and the Marquis can show their respect!"
After experiencing huge shock and panic, Anshun took a deep breath, calmed down, and bowed his hands to Li Ke.
Scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants had been doing business in the Central Plains for so many years. Anshun also knew that there were strict class hierarchies in the Tang Dynasty society, and the social status of merchants was at the bottom. Li Zexuan or Li Keruo were bent on punishing them. They have no choice but to beg for mercy!
Now he doesn't care about marketing rights. He just wants to find out how they offended Li Zexuan or Li Ke, so that Yanhuang Money Bank directly stopped any previous cooperation with them. It is no exaggeration to say that in the "general environment" that prevailed in the Tang Dynasty and the Tang and Yuan Dynasties, if Yanhuang Bank stopped providing any services to a businessman, then the businessman would be unable to move forward in the Tang Dynasty!
Especially if Yanhuang Bank cannot lend them money, their business scale will expand very slowly. As the saying goes, "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." The same is true for business. When you expand slowly, other When people expand very quickly, sooner or later, you will be swallowed up by others!
"I hope His Highness and the Marquis can show their respect!"
Kang Fuliang was also panicked at this time, and he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands.
He didn't understand how things had reached such a situation, but he knew clearly what kind of difficulties they would encounter in Datang without the services provided by Yanhuang Bank!
As for the other seven Hu merchants in the room, they were silent at this time, because Li Ke made it very clear, "From now on, the Yanhuang Bank in Datang will no longer provide any services to merchants from Kang and An." , this has nothing to do with them. The most important thing for them at this time is to protect themselves wisely. How can they dare to say anything else
But after this incident, the purchase of marketing rights may be completely out of the question!
Thinking of this, the seven people couldn't help but look at the backs of An Shuncai and Kang Fuliang with some resentment. They didn't know how these two guys offended Li Ke and Li Zexuan, which made them not only unable to buy the marketing rights, but also had to Follow with fear!
"Hmph! Sir, I received news that there are merchants from Kang and An who are making trouble in Taiyuan and want to harm the current king of Wei. This is just a small lesson for you. If the kings of Kang and An cannot teach the Tang Dynasty An explanation, you and others will be subject to more severe sanctions in the Tang Dynasty in the future! You should take care of yourself!"
Li Ke said to An Shuncai with a cold face.
After that, he didn't care about the shocked or horrified expressions of everyone in the room, he stood up and left with a flourish.
