Chapter Twelve: The Battle of Raw Silk

The voting system of Xiangzhi Tower is very simple. As long as everyone present today has one vote, they can also add votes. The rules of Xiangzhi Tower are, 100 taels of silver plus one vote, and there is no upper limit, because this is the only way

Only by stimulating the system can we lay a solid foundation for Li Ningyu and his future dominance.

Although the selected companions are not as beautiful as Liu Yan, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some are picturesque, some are elegant and refined. In short, under Li Ningyu's meticulous care, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Under the arrangement, an extraordinary oiran selection began.

After the host started, people in the hall came to cast their votes in front of their favorite oiran, and some wealthy children from wealthy families sprinkled their money. Seeing that the hall was already in full swing, Li Ningyu also said with a smile:

"Master Prefect, Hu Caidong! Let's start voting too!".

"Okay!" The two of them nodded coyly, and then Rong'er beside them brought several sets of the Four Treasures of the Study.

About half an hour later, the statistical results of the voting in the hall came out. The host on the high platform read in a loud voice: "Girl Lotus has 463 votes, Miss Liu Yan has 698 votes, Miss Lotus Heart has 571 votes, and Miss Cuizhu has 698 votes."

As a result, the hall was in an uproar, but Li Ningyu did not move at all, because this was his arrangement. Although Cuizhu was slightly inferior to Liu Yan, he was still a good training target.

The next exciting moment naturally came, and a battle between men began, because everyone in the hall knew that the guest in the private room upstairs was the main financial sponsor today, so they naturally looked forward to it, and then the five people in the private room signed a white paper

They were all sent down by Ronger, and just after Ronger walked out of the room, Ronger immediately opened the white paper written by Hu Guangyong, checked it, and quickly went downstairs to hand it over to the host of Xiangzhi Building.

Then the number of votes changed. Liu Yan's votes increased by 300 votes, and Cuizhu and Lianxin each increased by 100 votes. After knowing this result, the hall was boiling because there were many people who liked Liu Yan. Liu Yan won the first prize and was expected to win, but

Changes also occurred in the private room. Back in the private room, Ronger was still standing by the door.

After hearing the results announced downstairs, the people in the private room had already started the next round of competition. At this time, Li Ningyu also knew from Ronger's finger gestures who Hu Guangyong had just voted for.

According to the actions Li Ningyu taught Rong'er, Hu Guangyong voted for Lian Xin. Li Ningyu was a little puzzled, but then he figured it out. He secretly thought that he was indeed a red-top businessman of a generation, extremely smart, because Hu Guangyong had already

Finding that Williams, Morini, and the prefect Xu Guodong were all looking at Liu Yan, he just cast his trust in someone casually.

Just when Li Ningyu looked at Hu Guangyong meaningfully, he also glanced at the other three and then looked at Li Ningyu. In this way, both of us looked at each other meaningfully and smiled, and then Li Ningyu said jokingly

: "It's really radish greens, there's something to love about them!".

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed when they heard it, and then the event came to an end. After Liu Yan's perfect performance, the host announced that the oiran selection was successfully completed, and the day's business of Xiangzhi Building was also over.

, everyone in the hall slowly left without saying anything, but we in the private room upstairs sat down with several oirans and started the banquet.

What is a gold membership, what are privileges, this is it!

During the banquet, Williams and Morini were still more gentlemanly, but the prefect Xu Guodong, who had drunk several times the wine, was a little impatient. A pair of hands wandered around the body of He Hua who was sitting with him. Li Ningyu rolled his eyes when he saw it.

Unable to scold him, Li Ningyu had no choice but to signal to Williams and Morini to help with the toast. He drank dozens of glasses of fine wine, and Xu Guodong felt dizzy and leaned on his chair and fell asleep.

Seeing Li Ningyu just look at him, Williams and Morini helped to toast. Hu Guangyong, who did not dare to look down on Li Ningyu, became even more incomprehensible because he had become a semi-colonial country.

In the Qing Dynasty, foreigners were all aloof foreign emperors, and ordinary local officials with real power did not dare to offend them easily, but Li Ningyu could command them, even if they were just assistants to ministers from various countries, and even if Li Ningyu was Prince Gong's servant, he could not do this

Awesome! Besides, Li Ningyu only looks like he is in his early 10s.

After a banquet, Li Ningyu felt full. Looking at the sleeping Xu Guodong and Hu Guangyong who was secretly thinking, Li Ningyu knew that the time had come. Then Li Ningyu spoke to Williams and Morini in fast and fluent English.

: "Thank you both for your help today. I will find an opportunity to repay you, but I hope you can help me purchase some things!".

After speaking, Li Ningyu motioned to Rong'er who was on the side. Rong'er immediately took out a piece of white paper and handed it to Li Ningyu. When Li Ningyu got the white paper, Hu Guangyong's head immediately poked forward, but there was nothing on it.

He didn't understand most of them in English.

This is a purchase list, the value of which only Li Ningyu himself understands. However, the list contains some general machines and items. There are no munitions or weapons. After looking at the items and quantities on the list, Williams and Morini

He readily agreed, but then Williams asked rhetorically: "Li, I will try my best to satisfy you with whatever you tell me! But if you dare to play tricks on me, then you are provoking our British Empire, which is very dangerous.

It may lead to a new war between the two countries!”.

Looking at William, the British formula assistant who asked Li Ningyu seriously, Li Ningyu looked at him with a smile and sincere eyes and said: "William, don't worry! I guarantee it with my own personality! My words are true, and after a few months

We’ll find out naturally!”.

"Okay, we believe in you and wish you all the best!" Cuizhu and Lianxin then went to see Williams and Morini off, and then Li Ningyu sat down and looked at Hu Guangyong, who was also looking at Li Ning at this time.

Li Ningyu, the young man and the old man looked at each other like this. After about 3 minutes, Li Ningyu's eyes drifted upward when he was looking at Hu Guangyong, and at the same time he sighed and said: "Oh, God's will plays tricks on people!".

Seeing the originally good Li Ningyu sigh suddenly, the curious Hu Guangyong slowly asked: "Little, little brother! Why are you secretly feeling sad?".

Maybe it was because Li Ningyu was too young. Hu Guangyong originally wanted to call Li Ningyu little guy, but after thinking about it, he immediately changed his name and called him little brother.

As soon as he heard that the fish was coming, Li Ningyu suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at him with a sad look on his face. Then Li Ningyu slowly said: "Just now, the two minister assistants told me that the current raw silk production abroad is

The price has risen to 3 taels of silver, and I can’t afford that much silver at once.”

"Raw silk!" After hearing what Li Ningyu said, Hu Guangyong's tone changed instantly, because now he was engaged in a raw silk hoarding war with foreigners.
