neighbors with the king

Chapter 398 Go Home (1)
The merchants who came here are more aware of the reason why the strong dragon does not suppress the top snakes, so they are willing to come here to save face.

"This time the Chamber of Commerce is for Yao to thank everyone for their support to our Yao family. Don't be polite later. Yao has prepared some thin wine and meals. You can sit down and discuss the future business direction of Weicheng." After pulling out the Wang family, Yao Yuan seemed to be the president of the chamber of commerce.

"Speaking of the direction of business, can I ask the prefect a question?" A businessman stood up and looked at the prefect and asked respectfully.

"Since everyone is working for the development of Weicheng, feel free to ask any doubts you have." The magistrate looked like a good old man.

"Okay, I'll be rude next time." The businessman seemed to be waiting for his words. "Weicheng is rich in citrus. In previous years, we all came here to do citrus-related business. But this year's citrus has been monopolized by Su Ji's family. Doesn't this cut off our way out?"

This remark resonated with most businessmen. They lowered prices together every year and made a lot of money in the citrus business.But this year, the magistrate actually acted on behalf of the government and allowed the Su family to monopolize all the citrus.

So how do they get rich?

Su Qingqing didn't speak after hearing that she was drinking fragrant tea from a cup, as if the issues everyone discussed had nothing to do with her.

But Li Yuanchu's face was slightly cold and he didn't speak. He wanted to take a good look at what this group of profiteers were up to.
"Yes, magistrate, at least give us some way out." Someone stood up and questioned.

"Everyone, don't get me wrong." The magistrate noticed Li Yuanchu's displeasure and was anxious.It's good that he finally showed himself in front of King Lin, but he can't be dismissed because of the mediocrity in front of him.

"As everyone knows, the Su family contributed the most to this plague. Without them, the plague in Weicheng would not have been brought under control so easily. The people are willing to sell their citrus to them. This official also represents the people. meaning."

"This is what I mean." Li Yuanchu said with a sneer.

There was still a small voice of dissatisfaction underneath, and it stopped immediately.

"Whoever gives more money will naturally sell the things in the hands of the people." He sneered and shot everyone a look.

There is skill in these words. Li Yuanchu is clearly telling everyone that the starting point for his consideration is the common people rather than personal feelings.

"Su Ji collected all the citrus in the city, but it's not like they don't want to sell them. You can buy them from Su Ji with money." Li Yuanchu's words here are undoubtedly imperial edicts.

Everyone also heard that he was helping the Su family.

All the merchants lowered their heads and dared not say anything. The Su family bought citrus at a price of three Wen per catty, almost catching up with the price of black flour in the market.If they buy from the Su family again, how high will the price be?
In this way, how much money can they make even if they sell it?

When a businessman encounters a problem, the first thing he cares about is profit. Who will do a business without profit?

Su Qingqing saw everyone's reactions clearly and sneered in her heart.These people have stripped so much profit from the people in the past, why didn't they think that the people also need silver to live?

When I came to them, I hated the high price of citrus.But with Li Yuanchu in the lead, she didn't bother to come out to be annoying.

"My lord, I heard that Miss Su's purchase of citrus is used to make juice, I don't know if it's true or not?" Among the crowd who had been silent for a long time, a wealthy businessman stood up and looked at Li Yuanchu with a flattering expression.

"That's right, our Yao family used this kind of juice to entertain guests today, and now we can let everyone taste it in advance." Seeing Li Yuanchu's cold and silent look, Yao Yuan felt nervous, and quickly stood up to smooth things over.

"Okay then, let's try it." The rich businessman didn't expect the legendary King Lin to be so cold-hearted. After he stood up, he felt regretful and terrified.Hearing the steps that Yao Yuan stretched out at this moment, he retreated immediately.

"Come here, serve the guests juice." Yao Yuan shouted to the waiting maidservant.

The juice came out very quickly, Yao's family was very well prepared, even the cups used to drink the juice were different.

Everyone poured some, and tried to take a sip carefully. The juice was not as sour as they imagined, but more sweet.

"Miss Su, is there sugar in the juice?" Another wealthy businessman stepped forward and asked.

"En." Su Qingqing nodded honestly and answered without saying much.

"But how did the sour taste get rid of it?" The man still didn't give up, seeing that Su Qingqing didn't reject his first question, bullying her for being young, he pursued the victory and asked a second question.

Everyone despised him a little bit. This question obviously violated other people's business secrets.However, it would be a fool not to take advantage of the advantages. The businessmen present kept silent and waited for Su Qingqing's reaction.

Su Qingqing sneered in her heart, but with a charming smile on her face, "Well."

Everyone listened more carefully.

"Secret." Her tone was alienated.

"Miss Su is too stingy. We are all colleagues. If there is any good way to discuss it, there is no need to hide and choke." This person was not angry when he saw Su Qingqing, and King Lin didn't stop him. Get over it.

Bai Rufeng sat among these businessmen and smiled, but his heart was overwhelmed by laughter.The fate of this person will never be better.

"This should be Master Zhang from Fuzhou, right?" Su Qingqing asked with a faint smile, but her tone was affirmative.

"I didn't expect Miss Su to know someone Zhang." Zhang Wanshan smiled complacently.It is not easy for Su Ji's boss to remember him.But he didn't know that in order to meet Hu's every banquet, Su Qingqing would look up some publicity or important customer information beforehand.

"Master Zhang can be regarded as someone in Fuzhou. It's hard for me not to know." Su Qingqing still said with a faint smile.

Li Yuanchu looked at her with pampering, he was not worried, the little fox was about to make a move.

"I also heard that the Zhang family is famous for producing fine wine. It just so happens that we, Su Ji, are also planning to open a new winery. The technology is still a little immature. Presumably, Master Zhang has been in the wine business for so many years, so he will be quite adept at some problems. I have experience, here, I also want to listen carefully and ask for advice. I don’t think Master Zhang will mind?” Su Qingqing’s light expression is different from the aggressive words he said.

As soon as this remark came out, there was another silence on the field.No one dared to underestimate Su Qingqing anymore.

Many people still have a little sympathy for Zhang Wanshan.If Su Ji didn't make a move, as long as he made a move, it would definitely kill him instantly.Fortunately, for so many years, the Su family's business has been ingenious, and they seldom collide with others.

It's all right now, if Zhang Wanshan messes with this eccentric young boss, I'm afraid his fine wine business will hardly be able to regain its original glory.
