Chapter [Fu Wang Banquet, Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce] Three
Chapter ○【Fu Wang Banquet, Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce】3
All the guests drank up the tea one after another, followed by Mu Linfeng. Zhu Yousong smiled. After drinking a cup, he laughed and said: "You are all famous merchants in Ming Dynasty. Xiao Wang is a junior in front of you. There are still some
I have a lot to learn from you and ask for advice. Please keep it in mind.”
Zhu Yousong stood up, and everyone stood up one after another, only to hear Zhu Yousong say: "My Ming Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. There are Manchu Tatars in the north and intruders in the west. The Holy Spirit is even more restless and working hard for this. Unfortunately, after the eunuch party took control of the government in Ming Dynasty, it has already
We are strong on the outside and cadre on the inside, but have poor finances, so we are loaning you money. The money you handed over will be recorded by the court one by one. After the thieves are eliminated at home and the dogs are killed outside, the court will definitely judge your merits according to your merits.
I will reward you, and the money I owe you will be repaid with interest."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he stood up and said, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? One day when dogs come into the pass, or thieves come and kill us, there will be no place for us to stand. At that time, even if we have a lot of wealth, we will not be able to survive."
It will definitely save the lives of the whole family!"
Zhu Yousong looked at Mu Linfeng, his expression gradually relaxed, because he understood that Mu Linfeng was a smart man and could naturally understand what he meant.
Mu Linfeng continued: "In the future, my family Mu Ying accompanied Emperor Taizu to conquer the north and south and drove out the Mongolian Tatars. Only then did we conquer the Han people and create a century of prosperity. Today, I, Mu Linfeng, am a descendant of the Mu family. If I just sit back and watch,
Li, how can I face my ancestors in the future? I will donate five thousand taels of silver."
Before everyone could react, Zhu Yousong clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Mr. Mu is indeed a descendant of the Mu family. He is truly the pillar of our Ming Dynasty. On behalf of the imperial court, I would like to thank Mr. Mu in advance. Please keep this in mind."
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "I'm just trying my best. Five thousand taels is just a drop in the ocean. I'm just taking the lead. Most of the good people from the Ming Dynasty are sitting in the hall. I hope that all the celebrities from the Chamber of Commerce will be generous.
Bag, that is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!"
Kong Wudao: "Although I am just a nurse of the Feng family, my brother Mu is right. When the country is in trouble, everyone has a responsibility. I donated my half-year savings, which should be more than three hundred taels..."
Mu Linfeng expressed his gratitude to Kong Wu, and Kong Wu's move was also very popular with Zhu Yousong. Mu Linfeng said: "As a nursing home, my eldest brother's monthly income is only a few dozen taels of silver, and you guys have so much money."
He is a business tycoon with millions of assets..."
Mr. Feng, who was behind Kong Wu, stood up and said, "Young Master Mu, there is no need to say anything. I, the Feng Family Trading Company, will donate one hundred thousand taels!"
Zhu Yousong stood up and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, Boss Feng, as the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, is really a blessing to the Jiangnan business community and even the people of the world. On behalf of the court, I would like to express my gratitude to Boss Feng." Then he turned to the merchants present and said:
"Boss Feng is indeed a model in the business world. I don't know about the other bosses here..."
Others have always followed Boss Feng's lead. After they learned about Zhu Yousong's Hongmen Banquet, they all followed Boss Feng's lead. After all, it was for the imperial court. Although it was borrowed and donated in name, it was actually confiscated. The donation was
You must donate, and you can't escape. Since you must donate, how much you donate is a question. If you donate too much, you will suffer a loss. If you donate less, you are afraid of upsetting Zhu Yousong and the court. In the future, you will be in the local area.
If the junior high school makes trouble for itself, then it is self-inflicted trouble. It is better to spend money to eliminate the trouble.
These people have not expressed their stance. It is not that they don’t want to donate, but they have been waiting and watching. Now that Boss Feng has donated 100,000, they all have a clear understanding in their hearts. First of all, Boss Feng is the richest man in Jiangnan, and he has donated 100,000. Then,
There will definitely be no one who will donate more than him. The only thing left to do is to quickly calculate in his mind the comparison between his family's business and the Feng family's business, and figure out how much he should donate. These arithmetic problems are very important to those who have been in the business field all year round.
For people who roll, it is really childish.
After a while, all the merchants announced the amount of their donations, ranging from 80,000 taels to more than 10,000 yuan. They signed their names one after another. Signing was equivalent to agreeing to donate this much.
That's what the imperial court comes to collect. If you have it, you have to hand it over, and if you don't have it, you have to hand it over.
Mu Linfeng walked to Zhu Yousong's side, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, the little prince has done a big thing for the court in just a few words. It is really a blessing to my Ming Dynasty. He is worthy of the title of Little Fortune King. I believe the emperor knows,
It must be greatly appreciated.”
Zhu Yousong smiled and said: "Where, where, thanks to your help, Brother Mu, after a while, I will go to Qinglong Pond for a bath in the afternoon, and in the evening I will go to Chunxiang Tower for a gentle stay. All the expenses will be recorded on my head."
"
Mu Linfeng hurriedly declined: "How can this make Linfeng come to Jinling City for so long and even pay a visit to Linfeng, so Linfeng should apologize to Linfeng, and the whole process after the meal will be taken care of by me. The young prince should not compete with Linfeng. Next time Linfeng
I must let the young prince be the host."
Zhu Yousong smiled and said: "Brother Mu, you don't have to be polite. Even without Brother Mu, Xiao Wang would not be able to escape. The Jiangnan merchants have made such a great contribution to the court. Of course, Xiao Wang will express his condolences on behalf of the court. But Brother Mu
You did help me, Xiao Wang, today. If anything happens to Brother Mu in the future, just come to Xiao Wang."
Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "That's what I'm waiting for!" But he said: "Serving the court is Linfeng's responsibility, how can Linfeng dare to ask for credit!"
After Mu Linfeng and Zhu Yousong exchanged a few polite words, Zhu Yousong said to everyone: "Xiao Wang has prepared a banquet. Everyone, please take your seats and take your seats!"
The servants of Yipinlou led everyone into the back hall. The back hall of Yipinlou was more than twice the size of the front hall. There were thirty or forty tables of banquets in the whole back hall. After everyone sat down, unexpectedly
No one is absent. It seems that Zhu Yousong still has face in the Jiangnan area, and at least has a certain degree of deterrence in the business community.
The happiest person at the banquet was naturally Zhu Yousong, who frequently raised glasses to invite everyone. Other businessmen, some who wanted to curry favor with the powerful, also came up to think of Zhu Yousong. Mu Linfeng made a toast. Mu Linfeng naturally wished for it, so he took this opportunity to make friends with a few more businessmen and talked eloquently.
Friendship, it will be much more convenient to roll around in the mall in the future.
The businessmen present were involved in various industries in the south of the Yangtze River. There were giants like Boss Feng who were involved in the department store industry, as well as bank storekeepers, jewelry store owners, pawnshop giants, and casino tycoons... There were celebrities from all walks of life. This kind of scene was rare in Jinling City.
At first sight.
Although the Chamber of Commerce also organizes meetings every year, many people are absent due to busy business, and the Chamber of Commerce gatherings are as casual as today. Many gatherings are held for the benefit of all parties involved. Every time there is a meeting, someone is there for themselves.
It is very rare for businessmen from all walks of life to gather together to drink and chat in a harmonious manner.
