Manager Cui said this, but in fact he wanted to see Zhao Chen's reaction.
It was also their first time to contact Zhao Chen, but they did not expect that Zhao Chen was so young as the rumored one.
So Manager Cui thought that people of Zhao Chen would be confused if they only needed a little stimulation.
It was just very obvious that Zhao Chen didn't even react.
Zhao Chen sat behind the counter and looked at the four people standing in front of him with a smile.
A full stick of incense passed, and no one spoke.
Manager Cui and the other four felt that their legs were trembling.
"Why doesn't Lord Hou speak?" Manager Cui couldn't hold on and spoke to Zhao Chen.
"What are you saying?" Zhao Chen looked at the book in his hand and said with a smile.
Just because the few old men in front of me wanted to test themselves, they really lacked some skills.
"This..." A strange look flashed across Manager Cui's face, but he instantly returned to calm. He smiled and said to Zhao Chen: "Mr. Marquis of the County, why don't we sit down and talk?"
"Okay." Zhao Chen smiled slightly and sat down on the side of the table.
There were four sides of the table, and Zhao Chen sat on one side. Only three of the four shopkeepers could sit down.
The last person stood aside with a ugly expression.
"I wonder where Lord Hou of the County came from. I have never seen such a thing in the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Manager Cui sat down and asked Zhao Chen.
They have never seen anything like this before.
It seemed as if it suddenly appeared in Chang'an City.
When asked the people, no one answered them.
Manager Cui thought, if they could ask where the pepper appeared, wouldn’t they get it themselves?
At that time, you can avoid Zhao Chen's link and make a fortune.
Of course, he also knew that things would not be as simple as he thought.
Zhao Chen looked young, but even the indifference between his words made Manager Cui feel a little difficult.
"I got it by chance." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Since they are not in a hurry, Zhao Chen is naturally not in a hurry either.
Isn’t it just arguing, who can’t!
Manager Cui frowned. Zhao Chen chatted like this, so he could not find any opportunity.
He gave a wink at the shopkeeper next to him.
Then he saw the shopkeeper of the Wang family in Taiyuan stand up and bow to Zhao Chen, "Mr. Hou, the county marquis, is from the Wang family in Taiyuan, and is surnamed Wang. Today, he is here sincerely to discuss the pepper matter with the Hou of County. He also asked the Hou of County
Don't care about him."
"I don't understand what Manager Wang means." Zhao Chen looked at Manager Wang in front of him and said expressionlessly.
"I want to tell Lord Hou of the County, that we represent the Cui family of Boling, Cui family of Qinghe, Wang family of Taiyuan, and Lu family of Fanyang, respectively, to discuss the sale of peppers with Lord Hou of the County."
"Please be careful in your words and actions." Manager Wang looked at Zhao Chen and said coldly.
In their eyes, although Zhao Chen is a title, he is nothing compared to the people behind them.
If Zhao Chen doesn't know the truth, they can clean up Zhao Chen with just as they raise their hands.
"So you are here today, are you trying to tell me this?" Zhao Chen looked at the people in front of him with a playful face.
He didn't understand what these people were thinking.
Before I could say a few words, I started to threaten myself directly?
"Mr. Hou of County, you are still young and have a lot of things to do in the future. The appearance of your pepper has seriously threatened the pepper we have mastered."
"If your peppers are listed on a large scale, the wealth of our companies will definitely shrink on a large scale."
"At that time, many things will not be controlled, so please let the county hou take a convenient way and hand over the pepper to us."
"We will pay the county hou as a reward for the price of ten cents per kilogram."
Manager Cui said slowly, looking very serious.
However, he had already begun to threaten Zhao Chen.
What does it mean to be unable to control many things?
Isn’t it just to tell Zhao Chen that if he does not agree to their request and hand over the right to sell the pepper to them, someone will come to deal with Zhao Chen!
The other three also looked at Zhao Chen with a cold expression and said nothing.
"Ten cents per pound? What a big deal." Zhao Chen smiled, a hint of joking at the corner of his mouth.
Even fresh chili peppers cost more than ten cents per pound.
Zhao Chen's plan is to sell it for fifteen cents per kilogram first, and then lower the price after it is planted on a large scale next year.
These people actually wanted to buy them from Zhao Chen at a price of ten cents per kilogram.
Zhao Chen has reason to believe that once they get these peppers, they will definitely sell them at a sky-high price.
Even if they are thrown into their hands, they will not lower the price.
Otherwise, the pepper they stockpiled in their hands will become completely worthless.
Zhao Chen had peppers in his hand, and he completely pinched their seven-inches.
"Mr. County Hou, you have to think clearly. I heard that the bookstore of County Hou will be open in two days."
"I wish Lord Hou of County in advance a good start, but the rice paper and printing of our several companies have been in short supply recently."
"I'm afraid it's difficult to supply the county Hou's bookstore."
"Chang'an City, all the printing workshops belong to ours. Lord Hou of the County, please consider it." Manager Cui continued, with his expression in his face as if he was holding a wise bead.
He may not dare to deal with Zhao Chen openly.
But in secret, they have some tricks.
Before they came, they found out that Zhao Chen’s Wangyou Bookstore was about to open.
But all the paper and the printing of the Wangyou Bookstore were from them.
In other words, once they don’t help, Zhao Chen’s bookstore will not be able to open.
"Are you threatening Zhao Chen?" Li Shimin stood at the door of the backyard at some point, looking at the shopkeepers in front of him with cold eyes.
Manager Cui and others looked at him in the voice and saw Li Shimin looking at him with anger on his face.
The few of them were just small shopkeepers, but they didn't know that the person in front of them was Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
A joke suddenly appeared on his face: "Dare you asking your ear that heard us threatening Lord Hou of the County?"
"Mr. County Hou has a title. We are just a villain, so how dare you threaten Mahjong."
"Hehe, Lord County Hou is noble, how dare we threaten us? It's just just telling you some facts with Lord County Hou."
"Mr. Hou of County, your waiter is quite worried about you."
Several shopkeepers said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
Li Shimin only felt that these people were pressing their faces hard on the ground and beating them.
For a moment, my heart was filled with anger.
He could tolerate Zhao Chen because of his relationship with him. It was nothing big if he was said a few words.
Moreover, although Zhao Chen was so jealous of himself, he did not hesitate at all when he was time to help.
Do these bastards dare to sarcastically sarcasticly at themselves?
"Mr. Hou of County, think about it carefully. We will no longer disturb you today. Goodbye." Manager Cui got up, said something to Zhao Chen, glanced at Li Shimin, turned around and left.
"Stop!" Li Shimin rushed over.
