Sun Zhongmou slept well in the guest room. Now that his sister's problem has been solved, he feels relieved.
He next sent someone to send a letter to Sun Ce.
Explain this situation.
Although he knew, Sun Ce probably knew that his sister had nothing to do.
After getting up, Xi Yu arranged for him to have a meal and asked him if everything was fine.
"Yes, thanks to Mr. Xi, everything was fine yesterday."
Xi Yu said that the north and the south are different in climate and environment, and many people may feel a little uncomfortable.
Sun Zhongmou thought, this is true. In fact, he just changed into a new environment and he really couldn't sleep well.
But he didn't say this.
After the meal, Xi Yu led Sun Zhongmou to Ouyang's house first.
And asked if the office location of the association has been cleaned up. If it is cleaned up, move it away directly, otherwise you will live in Ouyang's house for the time being.
Ouyang Fu was very happy to learn that Sun Zhongmou was coming.
It is said that the villa is now being cleaned up and I guess I can live in this afternoon.
Sun Zhongmou said: "Since that's the case, let's go to the Chamber of Commerce as stated by Xi Gong first."
But Ouyang Fu just asked Sun Zhongmou to rest here, so let me leave this matter to myself.
Sun Zhongmou shook his head.
"No, I have to go there myself. After all, as the president, I have to know a lot of people next."
Ouyang Fu had no choice but to agree.
Sun Zhongmou said again: "By the way, Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Xi said that I would let me see what a bicycle is, and that I would send someone to Dongwu next."
Ouyang Fu was overjoyed and immediately took him to the backyard.
Liu Xiaoer and others are still producing bicycles.
There are many bicycles placed in a warehouse, and these are ordered on orders.
Ouyang Fu took a bicycle and handed it to Sun Zhongmou to watch.
This thing is naturally very magical to Sun Zhongmou.
Sun Zhongmou wanted to give it a try, but Ouyang Fu said, "Don't try it anymore, this is not something you can ride casually."
But Sun Zhongmou believes that it is very good to get a horse on his own. Wouldn't you pick this bike up easily?
And he had heard Ouyang Fu say some key points just now.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ouyang Fu had to let him go.
When Sun Zhongmou kicked up, he suddenly became crooked and fell in a particularly embarrassing way. Ouyang Fu couldn't help but laugh.
Then Sun Zhongmou said embarrassedly: "It seems that I really can't, but I will definitely have the opportunity to learn in the future."
Ouyang Fu originally planned that if Sun Zhongmou didn't come, he would ride his bicycle to contact him.
But now it can only be no longer possible.
"Oh, so, you've learned it?"
Ouyang Fu said that he faces bicycles every day and is now considered the boss of bicycles. If he didn't, wouldn't he lose face?
So I had already learned it secretly and finally learned it yesterday.
"Young Master Sun, even a stupid person like me can learn it, so you will learn it soon."
Ouyang Fu expressed his encouragement, and the two of them went to the streets.
Seeing the prosperity of Youzhou again, Sun Zhongmou sighed again.
In the past, he and his brother were particularly ambitious, but now it seems that they are really completely surrendering to their hearts.
Because even if you gain a country, you may not love the people as much as your son as the Western Opera Yu.
And now he discovered that many people seem to surrender in their hearts when talking about Xi Yu, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Ouyang Fu didn't just let the two of them go out, otherwise he would be too tired.
He also mobilized some servants in his family to do this.
And some small Mentou shops seem to feel that there will be more benefits after joining the association.
Moreover, this association was actually arranged by Xi Yu, so he had to seize the opportunity.
However, some large businesses seem to be a little unhappy because they have to pay a portion of their income to the association.
And this time, Sun Zhongmou said that a time must be set, and the effectiveness will expire within a few days.
If you want to join again, you may have to pay some additional fees in addition to paying the membership fee.
Of course, there must be some people hesitating, so this is the first batch of payments.
If the second batch is, maybe waiting for another year, it can also attract merchants from other places to come here.
Ouyang Fu said: "Young Master Sun, you have a good idea, but if there are always foreign merchants coming in, wouldn't it be that the business here be squeezed out?"
Ouyang Fu nodded.
"What you said makes sense, so we have to make some rules."
The two of them ran down, and one day they were exhausted.
Sun Zhongmou finally decided that if he did not join the association within five days, he would have to pay more money to join or wait until the next year.
By the evening, the other yard had already been arranged. Tables, chairs, and beds were installed. After all, Ouyang Fu had done business and the arrangements were very appropriate.
At night, Sun Zhongmou came to find Xi Yu and reported to him about the matter in the other courtyard.
Xi Yu was very satisfied after hearing this. Sun Zhongmou decided to ask Xi Yu to check it out the next day.
"Okay, then I'll go and check it out tomorrow."
The next morning, when Xi Yu was about to leave, suddenly, Lu Su arrived anxiously.
"Zijing, why are you sweating profusely in the early morning?"
Lu Su said that he heard that Sun Quan was coming and hoped to meet him.
Actually, I heard about it yesterday, but I didn’t dare to meet him privately, for fear that Xi Yu would be jealous.
Xi Yu laughed out loud.
"What's the difficulty? Since that's the case, then follow me to the headquarters of the Business Association."
Lu Su was stunned.
“What, the headquarters of the Business Association?”
"Disrespected, it seems that you are always going to the academy and have no idea what's going on here."
So, he explained the relevant situation to him.
Lu Su then admired Xi Yu even more. This is really a person who does big things.
When he came to the headquarters of the Business Association, Xi Yu was particularly satisfied. He said that it would officially open in five days, and a ribbon cutting ceremony would be held at that time, and then someone would also be sent to perform singing and dancing.
All of this is done by Sun Zhongmou.
"Mr. Xi, don't worry, my subordinates will do their best to do this."
Only then did Sun Zhongmou have the opportunity to talk to Lu Su.
Xi Yu said: "You can find a room and talk about it alone."
The two of them came to the room and Lu Su felt very kind.
But he was a little puzzled, why did Sun Zhongmou come here to handle this matter?
Xi Yu's subordinates are naturally full of talents and can fully assume this important task.
Sun Zhongmou told the relevant situation.
"So that's the case, so we will take care of each other in the future."
Sun Zhongmou was also curious about the affairs of this academy and asked Lu Su to give a brief explanation.
Lu Su said that the location has been negotiated anyway and is now building a house.
Sun Zhongmou touched the beard on his chin and murmured: "Mr. Xi is really a person who does a big career."
On the other side, Fangjun.
Fang Zhongyuan began to set out to find the old doctor.
The old doctor was neither in the Central Plains nor in Fangjun, but on an isolated island in the south.
In fact, Fang Zhongyuan was not sure whether he could find this old doctor.
It is said that he is wandering around and hopes to have good luck this time.
He rode a fast horse and went looking for it with many gifts.
It will take at least three days to get to the destination from Fangjun.
Before leaving, he knelt on the ground, begging all the gods and gods, hoping that this time the matter will definitely succeed.
He had a kind of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since he was a child, believing that the royal family was sacred and inviolable.
Even if Mao Dacheng did something wrong, he could change it by accepting advice or influencing the ministers.
But if he rashly overthrows his rule, it would be a traitor and a bad thief.
Although he had heard of Xi Yu's name before and did not understand it in depth, he now thinks Xi Yu is a robber.
It’s a pity that this time the itinerary was quite unsatisfactory.
It suddenly started to rain heavily on the way, so he had to choose to shelter from the rain with his horse in an inn.
In the house, he felt particularly depressed and had worshipped the gods, but the gods didn't even bless him.
But what can I do about God?
I have to keep it obediently.
After a while, he borrowed an umbrella from the counter to go to the toilet.
I accidentally passed by a room, but heard two people whispering inside.
Naturally, he was unwilling to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but the content of the conversation continued to attract his ears.
"I heard that Ruyun, a master around Xi Yu, had any secret guards. It would probably be impossible to assassinate him."
He was stunned for a moment, someone was going to kill Xi Yu.
Isn't this a good thing for yourself?
Although the other party is a stranger, they have a common goal.
It would be fine if Ji Yu could really be killed, so there was no need to look for the old doctor.
Then, another sound appeared inside the room.
"But no matter what, I have to try it. Even if I don't succeed, I will succeed. Why? You don't want to back off, right?"
"No, how can you understand me so much? I just want to find a perfect solution."
"There is no perfect solution. Just do things according to the original plan."
I seemed very young when I heard the voices of the two people.
He also looked at the number of the room carefully, and then hurried to the toilet.
When he came back, he consciously approached the room and tiptoed.
But there is no discussion about this.
He suddenly felt a little grateful for the heavy rain, allowing himself to learn something better.
When he returned to the room, he was considering what the two people actually had.
Can they really assassinate Xi Yu?
By the morning of the next day, the rain had stopped.
He came to the door of the room to see who these two people were.
Anyway, it is impossible for them to not come out of the room.
At least, they have to eat.
Sure enough, after a while, with the door ringing, two handsome men walked out.
And they look very similar, probably two brothers.
And he consciously wanted to get close to the other party.
"My two young men, are you from the Jia family?"
He made up a name randomly to open up the topic.
The two were stunned.
One of them said: "You recognized the wrong person, we are not."
Fang Zhongyuan asked again: "Is that true? But he really looks particularly similar to the two young masters of the Jia family. Where do they come from?"
But the man said coldly: "Where do we come from and what is our relationship?"
Another said: "Brother, are we too rude?"
"Okay, don't worry about too much, let's go eat quickly."
That's what the brother said.
Those who are younger brothers no longer talk.
But he smiled at Fang Zhongyuan and signaled not to take what he had just said to heart.
Fang Zhongyuan thought to himself that this brother's mouth was so strict that he could not find out who he was.
So should I follow you quietly?
Later I thought about it and let it go and do things according to the original plan.
Let’s talk about it if you find the old doctor.
Even if they really succeed in suicide, they still have to do their own things. This is called a two-pronged approach.
So he suddenly felt that he was worried too much.
And the weather is clear, so you can get on the road soon.
And on this day, several wealthy businessmen held a meeting in Youzhou.
"How is it? Are you really planning to join the association?"
"Yes, we think Xi Gong is a person who can do what he says, but we still have to hand over our income."
"Are you stupid? How much do we earn? How can his people know? So, will we decide how much we pay at that time?"
Several merchants' eyes lit up. That's true, they can cheat at that time.
Yes, their worries are too redundant.
"So we can do anything, and it is said that after joining the Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't he say that it will bring us more benefits? Maybe our business will get better and better."
So after discussion, those who were a little hesitant were all happy at this moment.
"Okay, since that's the case, we will register tomorrow because it will officially open the day after tomorrow."
Sure enough, the next day, merchants of all sizes went to register, with more than 200 companies. They paid their membership fees and issued certificates.
It is also stipulated that you can withdraw the membership at any time. The certificate must be paid at that time, but the membership fee will not be refunded. However, there is a condition that once you withdraw, you will want to join again. It is probably impossible.
When registering, Sun Zhongmou was on the scene, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know more about the merchants.
Many businesses whispered, thinking that they could conceal their income and make a big profit.
The merchant who proposed this opportunistic plan was in the silk business.
His name is Liao Youcai, and he is indeed talented, so people are also talking about his particular wisdom behind his back.
He has many branches, and now he goes to each branch to tell the person in charge that his future income must be lowered. If he wants to join the association, he must make a lot of money.
It is impossible to deduct money from yourself, so these responsible persons naturally agreed to his request.
Now I'm just waiting for the next day to open.
The next day, the sun was shining, and the ribbon cutting ceremony was officially held today.
Although there are many ordinary people who have nothing to do with business associations, they also come here just to see the style.
And there are several restaurants that are particularly happy because the business association has booked a seat here today.
According to the rules, Xi Yu first delivered a speech, and then unveiled the plaque with Sun Zhongmou.
As for this refreshing unveiling ceremony, many people have seen it for the first time and feel it even more novel.
Sun Zhongmou was also considering where Xi Yu came up with these ghost ideas.
The sound of firecrackers and fireworks also started to set off at the scene, and a lively scene.
Many people who joined the association have already sat in order.
They also swear as stipulated by Xi Yu that they must not disclose secrets, but must be faithful to the development of the association for their whole lives.
You must never do anything that will harm the association under the name of the association.
Especially many small businesses are full of passion. They hope that after joining the association, they can use the power of the association to make themselves bigger.
Some large merchants look down on these small merchants, thinking that they are just whimsical.
Xi Yu also told them that they must unite in the future. No matter how much your industry is, no matter how wealthy you are, how big your store is, but from today on, everyone is in a brotherly relationship.
At this time, a woman immediately interrupted Xi Yu.
"It's still a sister relationship."
Xi Yu smiled. This was a strong woman in the ceramics business. Because her husband passed away very early, she supported herself for almost half a day.
"Yes, what Sister Liu said just now is right."
The woman named Liu did not expect that Xi Yu would remember his name.
She immediately said that Xi Yu called her eldest sister and she really didn't dare to be it.
Xi Yu said: "Didn't you already say it? All the brothers and sisters present today are equal."
Sun Zhongmou also said that after all, he is a foreigner and will rely on everyone's help in the future. Everyone has one purpose, which is to make the association bigger and stronger.
Moreover, not only in Youzhou, but also in other places, Xigong will also set up various commercial organizations there.
After the two of them finished speaking, the merchant representative was also responsible for the speech.
In short, the entire opening ceremony was very formal and lively.
It was almost lunch time. The merchants thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Xi Yu said that there was another procedure that needed to be given some additional explanation.
And this is also a concern for everyone.
Many people suddenly became curious. Haven’t they finished all the speeches he and Sun Zhongmou had to say?
What else is there to say now?
Xi Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. What I said this time is very simple, and it also affects everyone's personal interests."
So everyone had to stay.
Chapter completed!
