Chapter 956 955 [The shill of this era]

People die for wealth and birds die for food. This has been the case since ancient times.

Relying on the rich coal resources of the Shouyang Mountain Mine, Xiangyun Hao expanded its briquette business throughout Kyoto and even surrounding towns, and used this as a link to successfully get involved in two major industries related to basic people's livelihood, food and cloth. Qinyuan went well

On the completely opposite route, with its unique membership system and dazzling entertainment options, it has become the highest-end entertainment destination in Kyoto.

The once-famous manor and pavilions have become history. Qibao Pavilion and Xianyun Village have completely disappeared. Liyuan controlled by the Sixth Prince is still surviving. The Liyuan Oiran who was so charming in the past has gradually lost its luster.

The only one that is still profitable is Zhulou. Although the broken liquor sold by Qinyuan is high-quality spirits, Zhulou has changed from its previous arrogance and domineering attitude in recent years. It not only copied Qinyuan's membership system, but also significantly reduced its price.

The prices of various fine wines and banquets have been adjusted, and the most important thing is that guests are allowed to purchase drinks to take away.

Even so, he could only barely resist the pressure exerted by Qinyuan.

Such a prosperous industry in Pei Yue's hands is bound to be coveted, but he has been taken care of by Gu Liang since he first came into the world. How can ordinary people have the courage to tease that tiger? Only someone with the identity and status of the eldest prince dares to try. The subsequent results are not necessary.

To repeat, Qibao Pavilion was destroyed, Xu Song was executed, the eldest princess committed suicide, and the eldest prince suffered heavy losses.

By the time Qinyuan began preparations, Pei Yue was already a Marquis. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his momentum was almost unstoppable, and no one would seek their own death. No matter how enthusiastic they were about Qinyuan and Xiangyun's profits, they could only look forward to it and sigh.

.

So when those people heard that Pei Yue was going to sell part of his property, they subconsciously thought it was false news. After the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion confirmed it, most people found it difficult to calm down.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Pei Yue's leaving money without making money will naturally arouse doubts in the world. There are those smart people who think they have seen through everything and conclude that Pei Yue took the initiative to give in to show his loyalty after experiencing His Majesty's suppression.

As time goes by, this conclusion gradually becomes the mainstream view.

Now that they have no worries about purchasing these properties, wealthy businessmen with a lot of money began to gear up. However, after Qinyuan announced the registration details, some people were stunned.

To be eligible to enter and participate in purchases, you must be at least a third-level Jade Member of Qinyuan.

Early this morning, the long street outside Qinyuan was already busy with traffic. Various cars and sedans were connected to each other, making it very lively.

The Shui Jing Hall was transformed into a temporary venue. At about two o'clock in the morning, a total of forty-two distinguished guests were all seated. Each person is allowed to bring up to three confidants, and each family has a square table.

Even though the lobby is very spacious, it seems full at the moment.

Most of these distinguished guests are wealthy businessmen themselves, and there are also some butlers and other figures. It is obvious that the host family is unwilling or inconvenient to come forward. They are all businessmen from Gyeonggi Province, and most of them are acquaintances. It is inevitable to greet each other at this moment, but

Different from the enthusiasm and sincerity of the past, almost everyone today has a false smile on their face, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Although they don’t know exactly how many shares Pei Yue will sell and how he will sell them, these smart businessmen only have four words in their minds: The one with the highest price will win!

The competition later will definitely be extremely fierce, and some people can't help but worry about whether they have enough money.

As the cloud board rang three times outside, Pei Yue walked into the lobby surrounded by a crowd of distinguished guests eagerly awaiting his arrival.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

As if they had been rehearsed in advance, everyone bowed and saluted in unison.

Pei Yue walked to the main seat in the north, turned around and said with a smile: "Excuse me."

Although Pei Yue's reputation has long been heard, many people in the hall saw his true appearance for the first time. After carefully looking at him, they couldn't help thinking that this first-class prince was too young, and lamented that the children in his family were not as good as they would have been.

Looking at the expectant looks of everyone, Pei Yue said straight to the point: "Without further ado, I believe you all know the topic of today's discussion. I know that many of you have doubts and don't understand why I want to take action on my own property. In fact,

The reason is simple, Kyoto

Xiangyunhao mainly deals in briquettes, grain and cloth. Today, this company occupies nearly 30% of the market share in Kyoto and surrounding areas. Everyone, no one will mind the money, but if I am allowed to control such a powerful company alone, it will be unavoidable.

It’s not appropriate.”

There was a burst of understanding laughter from the crowd, and at the same time they were a little bit sad.

As the saying goes, heaven and earth are all working together. Who would have thought that the bastard who was struggling to survive in Dingguo Mansion would one day have such amazing wealth?

While sighing, many people were impressed by Pei Yue's frankness. Only with his identity and temperament could he dare to speak out.

Pei Yue looked around the whole place and noticed that some of the entourage around these wealthy businessmen had strange expressions. He couldn't help but secretly found it interesting. Although no dignitaries were present in person today, he didn't know how many informants were present.

After the hall calmed down, he continued: "Xiangyun Hao now has a total of 137 branches in the capital and Gyeonggi. I decided to keep 37 branches and sell the rest.

"

The noise suddenly increased.

There are a hundred branches, this young powerful man is so generous.

Then a middle-aged businessman stood up and saluted and said, "May I ask Marquis Pei if there is a limit on the number of branches that each person can buy?"

Pei Yue listened to his voice and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency does not seem to be from Kyoto, how should you call him?"

The businessman replied with a smile on his face: "My name is Fan Lin. He is from Songning Prefecture in Qinzhou. I happened to stay in the capital recently. After hearing about this, I wanted to come and learn more about it."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "It seems that you are also proficient in the art of merchants, and you can see the key at a glance."

Fan Lin cupped his hands again and said: "Pei Hou praised me so much that a villain cannot deserve it."

Pei Yue smiled and looked at Deng Zai, who was standing next to him. The latter took a step forward and read out: "Each person can purchase up to ten branches. Once purchased, they are not allowed to resell to others or close down privately. Contract

The relevant terms will be noted in the meeting. If you are unwilling to continue operating the business after purchasing it, Xiangyunhao Head Office promises to buy it back at 70% of the original price at any time."

Many people looked solemn when they heard it. Such a rule was too strict. They were afraid of Pei Yue's power and did not dare to say anything. After Deng Zai finished speaking, they relaxed.

Deng Zai added: "My Marquis has said that he will not add any more branches in the future, so you don't have to worry about changes in the future business. This will also be written in the contract. After you buy the branch, you can enjoy all the benefits."

The store has the same rights, that is, purchasing briquettes from Shouyangshan Mine at the same base price. Apart from this, we will not interfere with your business scope or any accounts."

These words are the promise that wealthy businessmen want to hear most. The key to why Xiangyunhao has been able to develop to such a scale is that briquettes have become a necessity for the common people, and it can also drive the sales of other goods.

They have no whimsical idea of ​​opening a mine. As long as Pei Yue can ensure that they can get enough briquettes at low prices, these branches can continue to expand their scale based on this, and even feed back and drive their own business. This is

The source of their swarm today.

As for whether the mine will be exhausted, these people have naturally inquired about it for a long time. Not even one of the five natural coal mountains on Shouyang Mountain has been dug out so far, and it is said that Xiangyun has been studying methods of mining deep coal mines since last year.

This is the news coming from the palace, and the advice given by Luo Ting, the left-hand governor, was personally proposed to His Majesty.

Fan Lin praised sincerely: "Master Hou is really kind and kind, and such conditions are so generous. Although I am a villager who has never seen the world, today I will buy ten branches even if I spend all my wealth!"

Everyone looked sideways.

This is the home of the merchants in the capital, but it is intolerable that this old man from Qinzhou, who speaks with the smell of sea, steals the limelight.
