Until he left Prince Liang's Mansion, Prince Liang's words still echoed in Qin Zunyin's ears.
"Fifty percent and 80%, Qin Zunyin, you should know how to choose."
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Zunyin's face. He clearly couldn't give up his ambition to become the best among ten thousand people. There was no doubt about his final choice.
And the reason why he hesitated and even wanted to persuade King Liang not to target Yunzhou City too much was, in the final analysis, just to alleviate the uneasiness in his heart.
Yunzhou City.
Several large merchants gathered on the second floor of Yingke Building.
Everyone is frowning.
Lian Yunshan said solemnly: "Do you have any good solutions? If this continues, all shops will not be able to survive."
"Hey!" The head of the Xu family clapped his hands and said with a grimace, "But, what can be done to solve this?"
"Yes! You can't say that they are not allowed to sell at low prices, right?!"
This is almost an unsolvable problem.
Lian Yunshan frowned and gritted his teeth and said: "If we all join forces, we can always last longer. I don't believe how long those foreign businessmen can last!"
"There should be someone behind them." Xu Qing suddenly said.
Everyone's eyes fell on the only woman on the field.
Compared to their anxiety, Xu Qing seemed much calmer, with a calm face, and traces of anxiety could only be seen vaguely between his eyebrows.
"They just lost a large amount of money to us some time ago. It is impossible for them to have sufficient funds to handle such a thing."
Some people bit their lips and sighed heavily, "Yes, but because of this, it is even worse."
They have no idea how big the people behind the foreign businessmen are and how long they can last!
When Lianyunshan heard Xu Qing's words, he suddenly realized, "Shopkeeper Xu is right!"
As soon as he clapped his hands, the sadness on his face dissipated a lot, revealing a little joy.
"We don't know the person behind this, but the Sheriff is back!"
"This..." The head of the Chu family looked hesitant, "Will the Sheriff be willing to go to this trouble for us?"
"Not for us."
Lianyunshan and Xu Qing said in unison.
They both paused and looked at each other.
Lian Yunshan was somewhat impressed by this female shopkeeper. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Qing, "Shopkeeper Xu, tell me."
Xu Qing was not polite. This was the first time she participated in negotiations with several major merchants, which meant that the Xu family was beginning to be accepted by them.
Therefore, she needs to show her abilities and win the recognition of these people.
"Foreign businessmen are targeting us, but what about the people behind the foreign businessmen?"
Xu Qing's rhetorical question made almost all the merchants stunned.
"Why do the people behind foreign businessmen pay such a high price to target us?"
After asking twice, the merchants vaguely understood what Xu Qing and Lianyunshan meant just now.
"What Shopkeeper Xu means is that the people behind the foreign merchants are most likely not targeting us, but Yunzhou City?" the head of the Xu family blurted out.
Xu Qing nodded, "Not bad!"
She glanced at everyone and said slowly: "If all of our families fall, I'm not afraid to tell the truth. The business in Yunzhou City will be disrupted for at least a period of time."
At the beginning, Zhao Jin, who clearly held the handle on them, did not dare to catch them all, but chose to warn them, which fully shows the importance of these people.
Once they all fall, Yunzhou City will inevitably be in chaos.
What's more, the business in Yunzhou City will fall into the hands of foreign merchants.
Those of you here who can manage such a large family business are not stupid people.
At first, I didn't expect that Xu Qing would wake up to this, and everyone would realize the advantages and disadvantages of it.
"So, the governor will definitely not ignore it." Xu Qing's tone was very determined.
"We just need to unite first and resist for a few days until the Sheriff comes to find us."
When local merchants in Yunzhou City gathered to discuss countermeasures, foreign merchants also gathered together.
Xiti laughed and said: "This time, I want to see if Zhao Jin can do anything else!"
"A way?" The foreign businessman on the right side of Xiti slowly took a sip of tea and said in a rather bitter tone, "Maybe we can force out some way to prevent Yunzhou City's business from falling into our hands so quickly!"
"This time we have the support of Beili and Prince Liang behind us. How can a county guard compare to a prince and a prince?"
Fatiris was leaning on the recliner, his green eyes full of schadenfreude, "Hahaha, this is what I have to deal with!"
The other foreign businessmen laughed and laughed.
…
Zhao Jin wrote down all the specific ideas of the Chamber of Commerce, and after sorting them out, he summoned all the large and small merchants in Yunzhou City to the government office.
The lobby of the government office was so lively for the first time, and it was completely dark, filled with heads.
Ning Ce sat behind the low desk on the left side of Zhao Jin, and on the right were Yang Xu and Wei Liang.
These merchants vaguely understood that Zhao Jin was doing this for foreign businessmen.
However, bringing all the shops together was indeed beyond their expectations.
"Bang!" Zhao Jin picked up the Jingmu Hall and slapped it down, completely silencing the whispering merchants.
Zhao Jin glanced at everyone, "I summoned you all here today. You must have guessed the reason why. It's about foreign businessmen."
As soon as these words came out, a floodgate seemed to open, and many merchants complained to Zhao Jin.
"Lord Sheriff! Ever since this foreign businessman opened those shops, my shop has not had a single customer!"
"Yes! You really can't make any money!"
"Hey! Those of you who have a richer family can still support it for a while. I originally did some small business. In the past few days, I have been losing money so much that I can no longer survive!"
The voices of complaints were endless, and Zhao Jin couldn't help but frown, "Quiet!"
Accompanied by Jingmu Hall, there was a "pop" sound.
The entire lobby finally became quiet.
"I know the difficulties you are going through these days, so I have thought of a way and I need your approval."
After saying this, Zhao Jin signaled to Wei Liang.
Wei Liang took out dozens of pieces of rice paper, which were copied by the Yamen Guards after Zhao Jin compiled the ideas of the Chamber of Commerce.
The yamen guards passed these dozens of pieces of rice paper to these merchants and asked two or more of them to read one at the same time.
For a while, the only sounds left in the lobby were the rustling and rubbing of paper, occasionally mixed with a few quiet conversations.
Zhao Jin estimated the time and asked loudly: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. If it had been in the past, they would never have agreed to the establishment of a chamber of commerce.
Although major matters are decided by vote, minor matters are decided jointly by the government office and the Lian family, Lin family, Xu family, Chu family, Xu family and Jiang family, the six largest families in Yunzhou City.
But the existence of the Chamber of Commerce has put an extra layer of shackles on them after all.
But now, it can be said that the survival of the merchants in Yunzhou City is at stake.
The first problem is how to deal with foreign businessmen.
