FULL NOVELXO Chapter 24: 24
House of Four Flowers A restaurant where the elite often dines today, on the second floor of the House, the entire floor has been reserved. Many merchants enjoy eating and drinking.
"Sun Yuan, how are you doing now?" Chui Weihong, the head of the Chui family, asked.
"Sir Chuiwei Hong, I'm fine. But what are they doing?" Sun Yuan said.
Chu Weihong, who heard this, sighed.
"My store's business was the most affected, although Shenzhou City had a new product. Unfortunately, His Majesty did not sell it to us."
The Chui Clan was one of the ten families in the capital. Most of the shops selling products are businesses under the supervision of the Chui family. The Sun family is mainly engaged in the financial sector, including lending and mortgage assets.
"You guys look bad; my business has almost stopped." Deng Laojin, The head of the Deng Clan, spoke out.
"Those products are exciting. I am waiting for the emperor to allow us to trade. "
The Deng family was also one of the larger families, comparable to the Sun and the Chui families. After the massacre, the intellectuals fled. The merchants of the other seven noble families transferred their assets to Tongzhou City. For example, join the third prince, the Ku family, who followed the Third Prince Until it became the wealthiest family in Da Zhou.
The Sun family did not escape. Because Sun Yuan was unable to escape, his son held a very high government position, no matter how he joined any prince.No one dared to accept them.
The Deng family and the Chui family were the slowest.
But lately, they changed their minds at the last moment, choosing to settle in the capital instead because they all foresee a great opportunity that must be seized in their hands, a modern product that Zhao Lingxin produced.
A large number of fashionable products. That can cleanse the body thoroughly, fragrant, soft as if reborn again. The scalding hot liquor has quickly become popular. A few drops of perfume are long-lasting. Cement, which replaces wood structures, can build buildings as fast and as strong as stone.
Among the merchants who had once tested the strength of the cement road he was standing on, it was found that besides being smooth and as healthy as stone, it was hard to break.
These things made many low merchants look gleaming, but not comparable to the last thing: glass. Zhao Lingxin had already started producing glass, and the factory cut the glass into square pieces the size of a palm.
Merchants who were watching the mirror felt a frenzied demand. This mirror is not comparable to bronze glass that can not project a fair picture.
Unlike the mirrors in front of him, that reach their pore-pimples. This would require many noblewomen to do whatever it takes to get it. The merchants calculated their profits and decided to choose where to stay in Shenzhou.
"It is a pity that His Majesty sells only so few. And still does not allow us to sell many more." As soon as Deng Laojin spoke out, The merchants in the room sighed in regret.
The industrial plant has just been built. The workers are not skilled enough. Industrial production lines are therefore unable to carry out production up to the upper limit. Only steadily increasing every month, Engineers need to gain experience in industrial management. It is expected that in the next six months the production line will work at full capacity.
Zhao Lingxin wanted these products to be sold to the people of Shenzhou first. By placing them in state-owned stores and not allowing merchants to buy large quantities of these products
"These factories are very strange, no matter how much bribery I have, I will not accept them, and even follow the officers to drive me out," said one merchant.
Everyone in the reception room had strange expressions. Because they have all tried bribing, and no matter how they act, The factory workers did not seem to be shaken at all. Of course, they did not know that the factory workers were people from the system with one hundred percent loyalty and would not be surprised by such treacherous acts.
"It's bizarre, and these people are not similar to the officers we've seen before. Our actions seem so worthless," said another small merchant in despair.
"Yes, Sun Yuan, what did you call us today?"
Chui Wei Hong asked a question.
"Sun Yuan, you have summoned the masters from all over the capital to meet. I'm afraid it's not going to be easy today," the old fox Deng Laojin accurately predicted.
"I confess the truth, the person who is coming to talk to you is not me," Sun Yuan said.
The merchant in the reception room had a surprised expression.
"If it weren't for Sun Yuan, who would it be?" Chui Wei Hong asked curiously.
"I expected it to be a suitable time, everyone. Let me introduce you to you. Sun Wanping Minister of Economy and Trade, he is my son." Sun Yuan loudly emphasized the last sentence, hoping to make a clear announcement. In the end, a man walked into the reception room, which was Sun Wanping.
"I, Sun Wanping, the Minister of Economy and Trade of the Empire, welcomes you all." Sun Wanping raised his hands to greet everyone.
All the merchants couldn't stand still, hurriedly stood up, clapped their hands of salute.
"The Minister does not have to be polite. It is all of us who are very happy to meet you," said Chui Wei Hong respectfully; the other side was the Minister to meet them in person. Merchants like them need to be very polite.
Everyone is familiar with the long tradition. The status of a merchant was deficient. Lower than a farmer, The chancellor-level nobles visited by themselves; it was a heaven-shaking story that they had never experienced in their lives before.
Chui Weihong turned to look at Sun Yuan, and the seat was calm and relaxed. As if it were clear that I was the other's father, No need to respect their children.
Who gave them such a low status that they could bow down to their sons? Pushing Sun Yuan's position to the highest in the lounge All the merchants could not help but peek at Sun Yuan with an envious gaze at the other party's luck.
Everyone knows the identity of this Minister well. Sun Wanping's fame spread across four directions. At the age of only 16, he was a minister. Also, his status is only a descendant of a merchant family. It should be noted that merchants cannot step up to rule. Sun Wanping's identity and status were considered to break all rules.
The Chancellor level's nobles were often ancient, almost sleeping in the coffin to meet Tian Tian in Heaven. Therefore, the father of a noble at the Shangshu level never appeared. But today, the father of a Shangsu rank nobleman was already sitting in front of them.
Sun Yuan nestles in his son's status. He regarded himself as the father of the Minister of the Empire, So Sun Yuan's senior was the highest in the room. Creating a pride that it is hard to hide
'Huh, Sun Yuan, please leave it quickly. If I have any sons like this," the merchants snub down on them. Sun Yuan took the opportunity to ride their heads. This feeling was hard to bear. Unfortunately, they did not have such a gifted son until they could serve as ministers at a young age.
"Everyone, let's sit." Sun Wanping sat down first. After that, all the merchants in the room slowly breathed in and sat down.
"The Minister honored him to meet us. Invite the Minister to say your wish. We, the merchants, are willing to help with anything," said Chui Weihong.
Sun Wanping, who listened to it, felt that these people were very knowledgeable about the job, no need for him to have trouble speaking long words.
"The government needs to collect a large number of spirit stones. I hope you can give it to me. The Ministry of Economy and Trade will give you the right to trade," said Sun Wanping.
The merchant who heard the first sentence didn't feel much. In the past, there were often nobles who had come to seek financial assistance from them. If the government wanted the spirit stone, they could give it away. But Sun Wanping's sentence later shocked them.
They could not believe their ears, and the government promised preferential trade. It means that after this they can buy a large number of modern goods. Thinking like this, everyone couldn't wait and hurriedly scramble to offer resources to Sun Wanping.
"I would like to donate 500 spirit stones," said one merchant.
"Hmph, what a pity. Do you want to donate this much? See me as an example. Under my feet, I donated 1000 spirit stones." One merchant quickly refused to give up on the other side.
"I donated 1200!"
"1250!"
"1350!"
Like an auction market, But on the contrary, this is not an auction, it's just a donation to the government. There has never been such an active donation. Everyone is scrambling to donate. As if afraid that if the slightest delay Under his feet will not be satisfied with cutting off his trade rights.
Sun Wanping smiled. With the donation of these people, thousands of spirit stones were collected.contemporary romance
"I would like to donate 5000 pieces," said the long silent Chui Weihong. He gave them all the spirit stones that had been collected for hundreds of years. The attractiveness of modern products is hard to resist.
"I would also like to donate 5000 pieces."
"Excellent, everyone. I will write down your donation. After this, we will discuss your trade rights," explained Sun Wanping. The Ministry of Economy and Trade has prepared a list of products that merchants have the right to purchase and distribute. Anyone who has many donations will have a higher level of sales rights.
"Not all of you I came today will talk about this matter. I have brought the emperor's message to you," said Sun Wanping. His words silenced the busy reception room in the blink of an eye.
