After coming out of the Police Department, Changsun Teng was completely confused. His comment that this was the palace's intention immediately confused him.
Combined with his attitude when he mentioned the Sheng Bao, he felt that even if the person behind the Sheng Bao was not from the palace, he might have something to do with it.
After returning to his home, Changsun Teng took a while to calm down, but suddenly he felt a chill behind his back.
It turned out that his entire back was soaked with cold sweat.
Feeling that he had stolen business from the man in the palace, he wiped his head in cold sweat and couldn't help but feel scared.
Fortunately, Ming Pao was just having a war of words with Sheng Pao and had been clarifying the reputations of several companies. If it had said bad things about Sheng Pao at that time, it would have accidentally insulted the Holy One...
Changsun Teng was glad that his head could still stay securely on his neck. If he had made a wrong step at that time, I am afraid that the whole family would have been...
After thinking again and again, Changsun Teng broke out in sweat again, and developed a high fever that night.
Even while lying on the hospital bed, he did not forget to ask his housekeeper to find another engraving workshop and publish the final issue of Ming Pao, stating that the previous reports were confusing and confusing.
Naturally, Sheng Pao followed closely and reprinted Ming Pao's apology statement.
In this way, the charges against those firms will be confirmed.
For several days, Chang Sun Teng was nowhere to be seen. The shopkeepers of the seven shops could not sit still and came to inquire about the situation. Only then did they learn that Chang Sun Teng had been ill for several days and looked extremely ill.
Then the entire chamber of commerce was in chaos, business suffered a severe blow, the chamber of commerce was leaderless, and those businesses became a mess.
The news finally reached the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's general association, and then the vice president of the general association rushed from Lin'an Prefecture to Yingtian Prefecture.
First, I learned about what happened recently, and then went to visit Changsun Teng.
In fact, Chang Sun Teng's condition was not that serious. The main thing was that he was scared. Later, when he saw that the situation was irreversible, he simply pretended to be ill.
When the vice-president came to visit, Chang Sun Teng had already thought of an excuse. It was simply that he was ill and could no longer contribute to the chamber of commerce, so he asked the vice-president to choose someone else.
Although the vice-president has doubts, there is no point in dwelling on the matter at this time. To stabilize the Yingtianfu branch, we still have to choose a branch president.
So under the chairmanship of the vice president, the Chamber of Commerce held another plenary meeting.
The only topic of the meeting was to elect the branch president.
If this were done in the past, anyone with some strength would definitely be scrambling for the first place. But now, the company commander Sun Teng has been messed up like that, and most of the companies in the chamber of commerce have also been affected. Who else would want to be in such a mess?
catch?
The meeting lasted for a day, but still no branch president was elected. Even if the vice-president personally named him, no one dared to take over.
The vice president had no choice but to visit door to door again, and finally came to the conclusion that the most likely reason for the chamber of commerce to become what it is today was because it had offended Shengfa Department Store.
It is said that the person who tied the bell needs to be able to untie the bell. To solve the problem, we need to contact Shengfa Department Store.
But who is the shopkeeper of Shengfa Department Store?
no one knows.
On the surface, there are several shopkeepers of Shengfa Department Store, each of whom is in charge of a specific area. This shows that there are people behind the scenes, but they are unwilling to tell who the people behind the scenes are.
The vice-president had no choice but to submit a greeting and reveal his identity.
The invitation was submitted to Shengfa Department Store, and then it came into the hands of Yang Xuan.
"Vice president of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce?"
"Lin'an Zhang family?"
After understanding the identity and background of the other party, Yang Xuan smiled slightly. This was a wealthy family. Although it was not as good as the president, its status was not lower than his own.
After all, the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is a prince, and His Majesty the Emperor would call him uncle when meeting him in private.
The Zhang family in Lin'an is a famous local family. Their ancestors once served as the left prime minister of the Dasheng Dynasty, and now there are members of the family serving as officials in the government. With such status, he paid tribute to him and was so polite. It was a bit unreasonable for him not to see him.
The most important thing is that I have been planning for so long, and now is the time to reap the rewards.
The person's invitation was sent to Shengfa Department Store, so Yang Xuan received the person directly at the office of Shengfa Company.
Yes, it was the same shop that sold pretzels.
Opposite the shop is Zhou Ji Noodle Shop.
Today, Zhouji Noodle House is contracted to provide working meals for Shengfa Company. Every day at noon, Zhouji Noodle House receives employees from Shengfa Company.
They are said to be employees, but in fact they are agents sent to Shengfa Company by several major directors.
Although these people have low status, with the development of Shengfa Company, they have considerable power.
Shengfa Company now has three businesses: mineral salt workshop, Shengfa Department Store, and Shengbao.
Of course, not many people in the outside world know that this place is the office of Shengfa Company. After all, it is just a place equivalent to a liaison office.
Zhang Zhongliang came to the office and was guided by a waiter at the door to the second floor. He knocked on the door of a door with a sign for the General Manager's Office.
"Please come in."
Zhang Zhongliang pushed the door open and saw a handsome young man sitting behind a huge desk. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"May I ask where Manager Yang of Shengfa Company can be located here?"
Yang Xuan stood up with a smile: "Exactly, is this Mr. Zhang from the Zhang family in Lin'an?"
Zhang Zhongliang was slightly surprised. Even though Yang Xuan was young, he was not very well dressed. It could even be said that the boy at the door just now was dressed more elegantly than Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan didn't mean to dress shabbily, but the current fashion is silk, which is popular among wealthy people. However, Yang Xuan feels that cotton clothes are comfortable, so he usually does not wear silk clothes.
This caused Zhang Zhongliang to think that Yang Xuan was a servant when he first saw him. However, when Yang Xuan said that he was a servant, he was immediately stunned.
Don't underestimate this moment of daze, the trend of active and passive will become clear in an instant.
Zhang Zhongliang quickly raised his hand and saluted: "I didn't expect that the famous boss of Shengfa Company would be so young. It's really... really..."
He was a little stuck for a moment, but Yang Xuan took over the conversation: "My little brother is very inexperienced. I am the general manager of Shengfa Company. I am very scared. Mr. Zhang, please sit down."
Although Yang Xuan was quite modest in his words, his demeanor and momentum were not low at all.
Zhang Zhongliang sat down after hearing this and said, "Shopkeeper Yang is too humble. He is so promising at such a young age, and he will definitely be a dragon or a phoenix among people in the future."
Yang Xuan frowned slightly. Although the other party's words were compliments, they sounded like an elder speaking to a younger person. If he wanted to regain the momentum he had just lost, he would be looking down on others.
"I wonder why Mr. Zhang is here?"
Yang Xuan pointed out the topic directly, but since you sent a greeting letter to visit him, you should behave obediently.
Zhang Zhongliang was speechless. He had been to Shengfa Department Store. It was really magnificent and majestic. He originally thought that the shopkeeper was at least a middle-aged man of the same age as himself, so he sent his greetings. Who knew that the other person turned out to be a follower?
A young man about the same age as his own son.
Although Zhang Zhongliang is well-informed and knows that age is not a criterion for measuring a person's ability, he feels a little uncomfortable when he talks to a young man of his own son's age in a respectful manner.
But thinking about the purpose of his visit, he had to lower his posture. This was the first time for him to taste the feeling of being outweighed by a child.
"Shopkeeper Yang, as the vice president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, I heard that the president of the Yingtianfu branch, Sun Teng, had some disagreements with you recently, so I made peace with you before. After all, the way of a businessman is that harmony makes money, I don't know...
"
Before Zhang Zhongliang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Xuan: "Mr. Zhang, where do you begin?"
