The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 74 Winning the right to trade wisely, the covenant in the bamboo forest (2)
The venue was crowded with people.In addition to the local merchants in Anning, there are also many merchants who came from other places.

After Mrs. Liu, the prefect of Anning said a few polite words, he stepped aside and gave up his seat to three other people from other lands. Chu Qing stood behind his father and looked at him silently. Three stewards.

She didn't know how Yuwensang's family was in the overseas country, but judging from the demeanor of the three people in front of her, and Yuwensang's own statement, it was not difficult to guess that this seemingly ignorant sunny man had a family background. Extraordinary, the family background is not comparable to ordinary people.

I'm afraid, in their locality, they are also one of the best families.

The one in the middle was dressed in Southern Chu costume as the Romans did, but under the brim of the hat was golden curly hair, which was too short to be combed into a bun and had to be draped over it.

White skin, high nose bridge, blue eyes, facial features that are different from Chu people's facial features can easily stand out.The two people beside him stood a little far away, vaguely protruding him, it seemed that they were the heads of the three.

He sized up the Southern Chu merchants present with a faint arrogance in his eyes.I am afraid that he came here after experiencing life and death, and he looks down on the businessmen who live here and rarely go abroad.

However, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he is very clear about his purpose.After sizing up, he opened his mouth and began today's bidding with a mellow Nanchu dialect.

"Thank you very much for coming to our Great Luo Country, the Oscart family's business rights bidding conference. I hope that in the next bidding process, our most suitable partners will stand out."

The Great Luo Kingdom, the Oscar family.

The two key words in this sentence made the middle-earth merchants present unfamiliar.

Chu Qing realized in his heart that Yu Wensang's real surname was Oscar, and this family, judging from the proud expression on the face of the steward when he said the name of the family, must be a remarkable family. family.

"The bidding uses three rounds of assessment to select the final winner. Of course, after the end of the three rounds, we will also explain to the representatives who think they are more qualified than the winners."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, and it also reflects the shrewdness of this foreign businessman.

After the three assessments are completed, the final winner will be competed by his peers. To put it bluntly, he will be the champion.If you can keep it, you will take the trading right, if you can't keep it, you will give up the trading right you originally got.

In this way, these middle-earth merchants who are coveting overseas goods will fight each other, while the Oscar family can just sit aside and watch the show.

"In the first round, we will prepare an identical box for the merchants who have invitation letters in their hands, and there will be 1 taels of silver bills in it, and you will help keep them for an hour."

hiss--!
1 taels!

A 1 taels may not be a big deal to some of the businessmen present.But for just one assessment, no less than a hundred 1 taels were prepared. What does this mean?Is the Oscar family showing off their financial power to the middle-earth merchants?

Most importantly, what is the purpose of doing this?Can you win this assessment if you keep it for an hour?

Under the meeting place, the merchants of Middle-earth peeped at each other and whispered.

There was a loud noise, but the three stewards of the Oscar family did not intend to explain. They just distributed the brocade boxes brought up by the servants to the merchants who showed the invitation cards.

Soon, Chu Zhengyang and Min Zifeng were each holding a beautifully crafted brocade box with a different style from that of Zhongtu.

But Hu Boyi took the opportunity to leave the circle, returned to the seat where he was standing before, and got together with the local merchants in Anning, looking at the box in his hand, his eyes were bright.

Chu Qing, who silently watched this scene in his eyes, turned back to the box in his father's hand.The box is not big, only the size of a palm, but it is inlaid with expensive metal and precious stones to form three-dimensional statues of characters, male or female, all in a half-clothed state.

This kind of art is acceptable to Chu Qing, but for the people of China, it is a bit deviant.

It's just that this kind of unique and alternative beauty also made the middle-earth merchants present smell the taste of huge benefits.

Chu Qing changed her mind, and looked up at the three complacent people on the stage.Sure enough, it is a good method. No one knows what the overseas products are.At this moment, with the help of the first assessment, people intentionally or unintentionally let people take a peek at a corner. This seemingly inadvertent move can push the profit-seeking heart of the middle-earth businessmen to the peak, and they are more determined to win these overseas goods.

With this thought together, I am afraid that the next battle will be a fierce fight without swords and swords.

"Brother Zhengyang, what do you think these overseas people mean?" Min Zifeng played with the box with his fingers, and looked at Chu Zhengyang beside him with a wry smile.

Chu Zhengyang stared at the things in his hands, recalling his and his daughter's judgment on today's assessment at home.It was supposed to revolve around honesty, power and interests, so which one is this place now?
After thinking hard to no avail, he could only shake his head: "I'm also wondering."

Min Zifeng was just asking casually, and never expected to learn anything from Chu Zhengyang.Looking around, almost all the businessmen were frowning, so they calmed down, and their eyes fell on Chu Qing who was behind Chu Zhengyang.

He still remembered that just now Chu Zhengyang introduced this young man with good looks and extraordinary temperament as his nephew.This appearance was familiar to him, but it was hard to guarantee that it was a junior he had never seen before.After all, the family is big, and he can't guarantee that he knows all the juniors in that family.

It's just that someone from Chu Zhengyang's family...

"Brother Zhengyang, this little brother is here, could it be your father..." Thinking of the speculation in his heart, Min Zifeng suddenly became excited.

Chu Qing glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked at his father.

Chu Zhengyang waved his hand perfunctorily to interrupt Min Zifeng's words: "I won't mention this matter for now. After today's business is over, you and my brother sit down, and I will explain to you slowly."

Seeing what Chu Zhengyang said, Min Zifeng was inconvenient to bother, but he nodded slightly, and fell silent according to his words.It's just that I can't help but look at Chu Qing a few more times.

Chu Qing didn't pay any attention to Min Zifeng's scrutiny, but only thought about the purpose of this brocade box in his heart.

At this time, the person on the stage spoke again: "Everyone can open the brocade box and verify whether there is a bank note inside."

As soon as the words fell, many people politely refused, saying that they believed that the Oscar family would not cheat.Regarding this, the three people on the stage just smiled slightly, without forcing it.
