Chapter 162 Jinhong Chamber of Commerce
Qiu Shixin left, hundreds of people in the Qiu family moved without a trace overnight. The action was so swift and even Zhu Yushou, who received the news the next day, was secretly shocked.
However, at this time he did not care about where the Qiu family went, but instead focused all his energy on the next step, because of the disappearance of the Qiu family, and the upcoming storm.
The martial arts forces in Danling County are mixed, almost all of which are a carrot and a pit, and there are three or five sparrows on the thin branches of matches.
The owner of Xuanyu Pavilion had just died, and was instantly targeted by a large group of hungry wolves, eager to share their flesh to make themselves fat.
Now that the large family of the Qiu family has suddenly disappeared completely, the large number of forces that have emerged have naturally attracted many forces to be red and they are all coveted.
Although these forces are not enough to pose a threat to Zhu Yushou, their victory lies in their large number. If they cannot kill one to warn a hundred, blindly entangle with them, and annex the Qiu family, it will inevitably be delayed for a long time.
Once other sects of the Seven Star Alliance come to their senses and come to make a fuss, it will be difficult for Zhu Yushou to swallow the Qiu family alone.
So Zhu Yushou knew early in the morning that this matter must be decided quickly, and he was still on Xuanyu Pavilion in Aolai City, taking advantage of the sight of the major sects.
With lightning speed, he quickly swallowed the Qiu family, creating a certain fact, and making people have nothing to say.
To achieve this goal, the Qiu family's contract book suddenly became particularly important.
After all, whoever can get it and sign his own name will have an absolute advantage in his status.
Anyone who dares to covet it again can directly suppress it by force. Even if he commits some killings, the court will not be able to say anything.
Even if some second-rate forces do not have the ability to suppress the heroes, if they get this contract, they can rely on this title to find a strong backer, or even directly seek protection from the city lord's mansion and share the benefits equally.
However, there are also many people holding this covenant book that is hard to find in their hands, frowning and sighing all day long, unable to sleep or eat.
This person is the boss of Jinhong Auction House, Jin Buhuan.
The name of this Jinhong Auction sounds grand, but in fact it is just a third-rate small force in Jiangning City.
The business involved in Pinrili is just ordinary antiques, calligraphy and paintings, fields, real estate, etc., which do not involve martial arts practice.
Because of his own strength, even if he is hiding under the name of a large force, it is difficult to ensure completeness, let alone make profits through the Qiu Family Constitution.
The reason why I accepted such a hot potato was completely because the shopkeeper in charge at that time was superficial and regarded this contract as a contract for ordinary industry transfers, which caused such a huge disaster.
Qiu Shixin handed the contract to Jinhong for auction because he was attracted by its weak strength and his boss was as timid as a mouse.
It was expected that he would not dare to embezzle the contract under the eyes of many forces, so that the storm could last longer, and the Qiu family would be able to gain more time.
"boss!"
Just as Jin Buhuan was sitting in the front hall, frowning, a servant suddenly ran in hurriedly, gasping and said:
"Boss, there are distinguished guests outside the door... to visit!"
"Why!"
Jin Buhuan sighed and scolded, "What are you panic? Are you still not seeing the distinguished guests who have come to visit these two days? Tell him, and I said that I was seriously ill and could not see the guests."
"ah!"
The servant swallowed, and said with difficulty:
"But boss, we can't afford to offend this distinguished guest. You have to think twice."
"hehe!"
Jin Buhuan smiled bitterly, covered his forehead and said with a headache:
"There are a few waves of people who have visited this time. Can our Jinhong Chamber of Commerce afford to offend that wave? Forget it, there is a saying that if there are too many lice, you won't bite them, and if there are too many debts, you won't have to worry about them. Anyway, I have offended so many people, so this one is not bad. You can go and invite him back."
The servant opened his mouth, but saw that his boss's face was full of impatientness, so he had to whisper and go out to send the visiting guests.
"Boss Jin is so refusing people thousands of miles away, it is not the way a business should treat guests."
But I heard a clear laugh from the door. The sound came from far away.
When I first heard this, I was still outside the gate, but as soon as I finished speaking, I had already arrived at the front hall. The speed of the person coming was really amazing.
Jin Buhuan looked up and saw a young man wearing a royal blue gown, falling in from the door of the main hall as if no one was around, looking at him with a smile, and said:
"Why is Boss Jin? I am not welcome here? Humane is a visitor and a guest. Isn't there even a cup of tea?"
Jin Buyong woke up from his dream and smiled all over his face, saying:
"I don't know if the head of the Zhu family is here, but the humble house is really full of glory. Master Zhu, please invite the audience. You can't even invite someone like you on weekdays. How dare you neglect anything? The servants didn't explain it clearly. Jin couldn't greet him well."
After saying that, he said viciously to the servant: "I can't even say it clearly. If you go back and deal with you, why don't you let someone take the best snow-top silver shuttle?"
The servant was scolded for nothing. Although he was full of grievance, he did not dare to say more and hurriedly retreated.
Zhu Yushou sat in the main seat, looked at Jin Buhuan and said with a smile:
"Boss Jin is a smart person. I guess he already knows the purpose of Zhu's arrival?"
"this……"
Jin Buhuan looked embarrassed and said carefully:
"I know the purpose of the Zhu family's head. But... I hope the young master can forgive me if I am embarrassed."
"Zhu knew the embarrassment of Boss Jin. It was nothing more than the city lord who had something to explain. Boss Jin dared not refuse to obey!"
Zhu Yushou smiled indifferently, and he knew exactly what the city lord had planned.
Among the seven main cities of Danling County, if the power is in terms of the size of power, it may not be possible to evaluate it for the time being.
But if you want to ask which city lord has the most comfortable life, it must be the city lord of Jiangning Chengning.
The reason is that the martial arts forces in this world are too strong.
Among other main cities, first-class martial arts sects are occupied, and they are the only one.
This martial arts force, which is almost like an underground dynasty, greatly compressed the influence of the court in the big city and weakened the authority of the city lords.
But they still have to be careful, for fear that if one accidentally forces these major sects to rebel, it will lead to huge changes.
As the Jiangning City under the jurisdiction of the Lord Ning City, due to the coexistence of Zhu and Qiu, the two major families of Jiangning City coexisted, formed a mutual restraint.
The city lord mediated in the middle and was able to get along with both sides. Instead, he steadily suppressed the two major families and became the most authoritative of the seven city lords of Danling County.
But now, this balance is about to be broken. Once the Zhu family annexed the Qiu family, it will become the dominant force, just like the other sects in the main cities of Danling County.
Such a situation is naturally something that Lord Ning City does not want to see.
Jin Buhuan bent over and kept bowing:
"Since the head of the Zhu family knows my difficulties, I hope I can understand it. After all, the people do not fight with the officials, so my Jinhong Auction House will never be able to offend the City Lord's Mansion."
Zhu Yushou brows slightly and said unhappily: "If you can't afford to offend the City Lord's Mansion, can you offend the Zhu family?"
Jin Buyong trembled all over when he heard this, almost kneeling to the ground, and said in a slightly crying voice:
"Master Zhu, you have a lot of adults, so give me a little bit of life."
Looking at Jin Buhuan's pitiful appearance, Zhu Yushou sighed in his heart, but said with a tough tone:
"Boss Jin, I believe you know in your heart that today's situation is impossible to be able to get along with both sides and not offend them."
Jin Buyong heard this, his face turned as if dead, and said bitterly: "Is it really destined to be my Jinhong Auction House? Is there such a disaster?"
Zhu Yushou shook his head and said with a smile:
"That's not necessarily true. I have a suggestion here. I wonder if Boss Jin is willing to listen?"
Jin Buhuan was like a drowning man. When he saw a life-saving straw, he hurriedly said:
"I am willing, I am willing, as long as the head of the Zhu family can save my life. Any teachings of the Zhu family will be followed by the young."
"Some time ago, the elder of the Zhu family accountant complained to me that his subordinates were not in sufficient staff and wanted to open an auction in Jiangning City, but he was unable to find a deacon who was good at managing the auction house.
I think Boss Jin and your subordinates are all great business talents. If you are willing to surrender, you will definitely not treat them unfairly.
Even if the city lord is going to tear me head-on, he will definitely not dare to touch my subordinate of the Zhu family."
Zhu Yushou said this in a casual manner, but he heard the golden eyes shining.
Zhu Yushou was not in a hurry at all. The old god was waiting for Jin Buhuan's reply, not worried that he would refuse.
Although Jin Buhuan is now the boss of an auction, in this Jiuzhou land where martial arts is the most respected, if a merchant does not have the power of martial arts as a supporter, no matter how much wealth he has, he will be just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, he may be completely lost in a blink of an eye, and his family may even be destroyed.
The Jinhong Auction House he runs seems to make money every day and is full of glory, but in fact it is like walking on thin ice, and is low and small everywhere, so be careful.
Even so, in the end, I was still stuck with a hot potato like the Qiu family's transfer contract.
The reason for all this is that no one can trample on him like an ant without the ability to protect himself.
But if he could join the Zhu family and become a deacon of the Zhu family, and with such a great backer, who could trample on him at will in Jiangning City?
Although all this was at the cost of offending the city lord's mansion and working hard to run the Jinhong auction for many years, such an opportunity still has an unparalleled attraction for a businessman.
Jin Buhuan's expression changed. After a fierce battle between heaven and man, he finally gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee, saying:
"Thank you to the head of the family, Jin is willing to serve the head of the family."
