Chapter 365 Zhao Cheng: It seems that Yunmeng City is prosperous to me!
Seeing this battle, Zhao Cheng was a little confused.
What does it mean?
Merchants went out of the city to greet them?
This scene gave Zhao Cheng a feeling, as if he was thinking about how to capture the city in front of him, but before he could figure out the tactics, the city surrendered.
Thinking of being boycotted and hated by people in Hannan City and Jiangcheng, and looking at the warm and warm atmosphere in front of him, Zhao Cheng was actually a little moved.
It seems that Yunmeng City is favoring me!
But after all, after learning Han Nancheng's lesson, Zhao Cheng still became wary of the merchants in front of him after getting over his excitement.
Could it be that he was playing a trick like Liu Guanzhang of Han Nancheng?
So Zhao Cheng kept a cautious eye and his expression became cold.
After the merchants introduced themselves one after another, they saw that the smile on Zhao Cheng's face suddenly disappeared, and they all became a little worried because they didn't know what was going on.
what's the situation?
Mr. Xiang doesn’t like the excitement?
Or do you think our pomp is too small?
Boss Mu, the older merchant among the merchants, walked out first, clasped his fists and said: "Xiao Xiangye, Xiao Houye, we have arranged a reception banquet for you and prepared some drinks. Although it is not as good as the popular fairy wine now, it is definitely
It is the most delicious wine in Yunjing County. I hope that the young prime minister and the young marquis will appreciate it!"
There was still no smile on Zhao Cheng's face, but he said: "There is no reason to refuse the Jiefeng Banquet when traveling around the country? We have brought the fairy wine with us, and for the Jiefeng Banquet later, we will follow the local customs and drink Yunjing County's fine wines. You can drink as much as you want.
How about ambrosia?"
Boss Mu smiled and said: "In our Yunjing County, a pot of fairy wine is hard to come by! Wouldn't it be great to drink it in the light of the young prime minister?!"
Zhao Cheng finally showed a smile, raised his hand politely, and said: "Boss Mu, please!"
Boss Mu quickly took a step back and signaled: "The young prime minister is a guest from afar, so you invite me first!"
After the reception banquet had been going on for an hour, Zhao Cheng didn't see anything wrong with this group of merchants. Everyone's demeanor and words were sincere, and every word expressed their sincerity in cooperating with Zhao Cheng.
The dozen or so big merchants unanimously stated that each one would not want to do a monopoly business, but hoped that Zhao Cheng would give everyone a share and distribute the fairy wine and the goods of the Chamber of Commerce to them equally, and they would then distribute them to
Other small businessmen.
Zhao Cheng was simply shocked, things went much smoother than he imagined.
Before we start cooperation, you have already planned to directly use your marketing channels and sales network, so shouldn’t I just be responsible for supply?
Can't this money be earned while lying down?
The more things went smoothly, the more excited Zhao Cheng was. He asked Xu An to deal with them first, while he took advantage of the opportunity to go to the latrine to observe the merchants from a distance.
"When times go wrong, you are troubled. When times go well, you have doubts. Businessmen are really suffering from hardships and doubts from doubts." Suddenly, a man who looked like he was in his early thirties read a poem behind Zhao Cheng.
This poem obviously meant something. Zhao Cheng frowned and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"Jia Shenshen."
The man smiled slightly, pointed to the table where Xu An and Boss Mu were sitting, and said, "Jia Zhong is my father."
"It turns out he is Boss Jia's son. I'm glad to meet you." Zhao Cheng nodded deeply to Jia. The people sitting at the table where he and Xu An were sitting were all the businessmen with the largest business in Yunmeng City, and Jia Zhong was one of them.
.And looking at Jia Zhong’s weight, it seems that he is only slightly weaker than the leader, Boss Mu.
Jia Shenshen's eyes lacked the shrewdness of those big businessmen, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
"Don't you believe the sincerity of these people?"
Now that he had been seen out, Zhao Cheng felt that there was nothing to hide and said, "You should have heard that my journey south was not easy."
Jia smiled deeply and said, "My father, and these people have such an attitude towards you, Mr. Xiang, precisely because they have heard about the difficulty of Mr. Xiang's journey south."
Listening to Jia Shenshen's somewhat convoluted words, Zhao Cheng understood more and more.
Could it be...that they are afraid?
Are you afraid of something like what happened to the Tu and Lu families?
"Little snakes are afraid of big dragons, and kittens are afraid of tigers. If you don't want to fight, then donate your blood and bones."
Jia Shensen read rhythmically like a half-hearted poet: "The young prime minister first outsmarted the three brothers Molingbo Liu Da in Hannan City, and then used thunderous means to overthrow Qi Bainian in Jiangcheng, and even planned Tu Lu's plan.
The bloody change between the two families. Such methods and cruelty, my father has never seen it in his life."
Jia Shen chuckled deeply and continued: "The young prime minister didn't see the fearful expressions on these people's faces when the news came that you were going to continue south to Yunjing County. It was really a slap in the face.
Dark clouds pierce the hall..."
Zhao Cheng interrupted: "Brothers, let's talk about it. Can we talk properly and stop reading poems?"
Jia Shen was shocked and said: "I have always heard that the young prime minister has a close relationship with great writers such as Jin Daxia and Mr. Pu. I thought the young prime minister was a person who likes poetry."
The corner of Zhao Cheng's mouth twitched and he thought, I like poetry, but I don't like things like you that I don't know how to describe!
Zhao Cheng said: "A sudden poem when I'm talking can easily interrupt my thinking. Let's continue talking. Do you mean that these merchants in Yunmeng City are afraid of my revenge if they don't cooperate with me?"
Jia nodded deeply and said: "Obviously."
Zhao Cheng frowned and said: "Why do you think so? Whether it is the fairy wine in my hand or the products of the Oriental Chamber of Commerce, you can definitely make a lot of money by selling them in Yunjing County. All of you are businessmen, why?
Don’t you think about profit first? As long as you put profit first, it will be a matter of course for you to cooperate with me!”
"I thought of it." Jia Shen smiled slightly and said, "It was my suggestion to let them go out of the city to welcome them."
Zhao Cheng asked: "Then why are you telling me this?"
"Because I want to get closer to the young prime minister, and then I want to ask the young prime minister to do a favor."
"I like such direct chat."
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Jia Shen's eyes became melancholy again, and he said: "I am the eldest son in the family. I have been recognized by my father and grandfather as the successor of the family since I was a child. I have to be in charge of all the family's business. But I am really not a business material..."
"You are." Zhao Cheng interrupted him again: "If you weren't, you wouldn't think of profit first."
"Whether I am or not is not important. What is important is that I don't want to be like them. I have already seen the end of the path of merchants from them."
Jia gave Zhao Cheng a sincere look and said, "So I hope that the young prime minister will put forward a condition when he decides to cooperate with my father. I am not allowed to interfere in the business between the Jia family and the young prime minister."
Zhao Cheng understood Jia Shenshen's feelings. Just like brothers Xiao Luofeng and Xiao Luomu, Xiao Luofeng, the eldest son, did not want to become a merchant.
It’s just that Xiao Luofeng’s dream is to become a famous general. What about Jia Shenshen?
Zhao Cheng asked seriously: "Jia Shenshen, what is your dream?"
