Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Huh! Harris? Have you forgotten who helped you when you were in the Arab Empire? Are you going to repay kindness with hatred now?"

"And the matter of Baga City..."

Qu Xinli has been able to dominate the world for so many years, so he can't be a good guy, snorted coldly.

"you!"

Harris narrowed his eyes and was choked by these words, but he didn't know what to say.

The two have known each other for a long time and are in the same business, so there is bound to be some friction between them on a daily basis.

There are already many grudges and grievances. How to deal with them depends on a person's mind.

Like Harris's vindictive character, he will never remember a favor but will always take revenge. This petty-minded person is ultimately just a clown.

"Humph! I have already established contact with a nobleman in the Duke of Su's mansion. Your efforts today are doomed to be in vain! You might as well go back earlier. We can still give you some change as travel expenses!"

Harris sneered.

"That's right! Kuna, you are at least a big shot in Tianzhu, why do you have to stay in Da Yan and suffer this humiliation?"

"The Gu family has spread the word that they want to drive you out of Yanyun City! In my opinion..."

Four or five Hu merchants all tried to persuade Qu Xinli to leave so that they could have a share of the soup.

After all, the market is so big, if some people make a lot, then there will definitely be people who make less!
"Stop being sarcastic here. How can I not understand what you are thinking? Gu family! Is the "Yanyun Law" just a decoration? Can you bully the good people in broad daylight?"

"Let's see the real thing with our own hands!"

Qu Xinli raised his sleeves and didn't bother to pay attention to these guys.

The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog!
If he left Yanyun City, all the wealth he had worked so hard to save for half his life would become someone else's possession, and he might even be killed along the way.

merchant.….
I have never been a merciful person!
People are tempted by profit, and how many of them have hands that are not stained with blood?
"In that case, don't blame us old friends for being embarrassed!"

An old man with brown eyes and brocade clothes said with a wry smile.

"Just give up on this idea! I won't let you succeed this time! I heard that the Gu family has already sent someone to look for Manager Cui."

A Hu merchant even gave a 'kind' reminder.

These guys all want to squeeze Qu Xinli out to avoid future trouble. After all, with his methods, he might be able to turn the tables.

Qu Xinli had a cold face and did not speak.

The other Hu merchants in the wing were communicating enthusiastically. About half a cup of tea later, Cui Jin, Chen Wencai and a total of fifteen managers came in.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..." Cui Jin said with a smile on his face.

"No, no, no! You are too polite, Mr. Cui!"

"Haha! It's our honor!"

"Thank you, Grand Steward, for your kindness..."

"..."

These Hu merchants hurried forward to say hello, their words full of flattery. Only Qu Xinli's eyes flickered, as if he was making a decision.

Fortunately, this room is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Cui Jin, Chen Wencai and the other fifteen people all sat down with smiles on their faces.

"You are all busy people, so let's not waste any more time talking! Let's get straight to the point! Tell us what you are planning to do."

Chen Wencai spoke.

When doing business, you certainly can't let people know your true thoughts too early, otherwise you will lose a lot of money, right?

"I am willing to give up 60% of the profits! And I have shops under my command in Dashi, Yulu, and Gaochang! If I can exchange it for the fragrant dew, I will definitely..."

"Seventy percent!"

"Eighty percent!"

"Our company is financially strong and has connections with more than 50 countries. If..."

None of them hid their abilities and their attacks were quite ruthless. After all, at this moment, it would be best to take them down in one go!
Shock it!
Listening to these guys talking about their family assets, even people like Cui Jin and Chen Wencai, who had experienced many ups and downs, couldn't help but gasp.

Compared with the experience of these Hu merchants, they are still too naive after all.

There is nothing we can do about this!
Yanyun City is the most prosperous place in the world, and merchants from other countries are eager to come here to do business. So how could the merchants from Dayan have the idea of ​​wandering around other places?
"My business does not need any profit from this perfume. I will sell it in various places. And I will take out 20% of the profits from the business every year. Just to make a friend!"

Harris spoke up.

He glanced at the Hu merchants sideways, looking quite arrogant!
Is this a big enough deal?

"hiss!"

When these words were spoken, many people gasped and plunged into heated discussions. Even senior managers such as Cui Jin and Chen Wencai were a little at a loss.

This guy gave away a lot of money for nothing!
"The same goes for Holy Night Company! We'll give you 30% of the profits!" said the brown-eyed old man in brocade clothes in a deep voice.

These guys are certainly not fools. As long as they can get some support, what does it matter if they bleed heavily once?
Only with power can you have more money!
Chen Wencai said something to the square-faced man sitting next to him, and the man hurried out and ran to the top floor of Zui Xiang Lou.

Li Kuan, Du Ruyan and Xiao Yanyan were eating in a private room!

"Hehehe, sister, brother-in-law! This is delicious!"

The little girl was eating with her mouth full of oil, and she waved her little hands at the two of them. Her big round eyes curved into crescent shapes.
"You"

Du Ruyan was still quite helpless. She reached out and helped Xiao Yanyan wipe the stains off the corners of her mouth.

"Eh? Hehehe~"

The little girl grinned at the two of them, smiled naively, swung her little feet proudly, and continued to eat.

"How is it? Have you learned much from me about the food here?" he said proudly.

Zui Xiang Lou originally belonged to the Hejian Palace and was considered a famous place in Chang'an.

One of the best restaurants, after the establishment of Yanmeng...
Li Xiaogong was straightforward and directly handed over the unified deployment to Ma Zhou.

Of course, the cooking method was also passed on, and the business of Zui Xiang Lou became much more popular than before.

Cooperation means win-win!

"It's still a little off, but it's passable."

After thinking for a while, Du Ruyan said.

As for business matters, she couldn't help much either. After all, she didn't have much talent, especially compared to Li Kuan...
His Highness is a monster!

Although he was married, Du Ruyan found that there was still a layer of fog covering him, making him even more difficult to see through. He looked lazy and carefree on weekdays, but no one dared to underestimate him!

"It's time to come up with a 'Haidilao'! In the future, on cold days, we can all squeeze together and have hotpot. It will be so lively!"

"Well... there are also take-outs, buffets, etc..."

Li Kuan smiled.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, especially at the forefront of history, it goes without saying that he has become that giant.

No matter how poor you are, you still have to improve your quality of life!
"Hotpot? Brother-in-law, when are we going to have hotpot?"

Little Yanyan's eyes lit up and she muttered.

"Wait until the weather gets cooler. What kind of hot pot can we have in such a hot day?"

Li Kuan said unhappily.

During the dog days of summer, even if you stay in an ice room, you can still feel the scorching heat, because even the ice has melted, dripping and seeping water.

Eating hotpot in this weather is really tiring, isn't it?

Just as the three were talking, there was a knock on the door.

After a while, the square-faced manager walked in quickly and told the reaction of the Hu merchants. After learning that these guys not only did not want any profit from the perfume...
Du Ruyan was also surprised when she saw that he even had to hand over money!
"Hahaha, no merit, no reward. These people are not mediocre. Tell Uncle Cui and Lao Chen that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything should be done according to the original plan."

Li Kuan gave instructions.

All businessmen are dishonest!

Harris and others just want to take advantage of the situation to gain more benefits. These guys have very sensitive noses, and who knows, they might have really smelled something.

The Yan League is now a behemoth, especially with the royal family mixed in, not to mention the princes and dukes.
Da Yan’s thickest thigh!
Although the strength currently revealed is only the tip of the iceberg of the Tang Alliance, at least no one in the royal family knows about its involvement.

But it is enough for these Hu merchants to spend a lot of money!

But it's true that these people have a good vision. Although there is some suspicion of accidental discovery, if they can get on board the big ship of Tang League, the benefits will be incomparable.

As for Li Kuan, of course he looked down upon their petty profits!

And now is the best time to conquer Qu Xinli!
After the square-faced steward walked out, Du Ruyan frowned and said, "Your Highness, these are all real benefits, why do you refuse them?"

"fool!"

Li Kuan rolled his eyes at her, picked up a piece of braised pork elbow from Xiao Yanyan's bowl, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to eat it happily.
You can't even see the little girl's pouting lips and that rather resentful look in her eyes!
"Playing with these people is petty! Their vision is too narrow. I'm not very interested."

"We... must look at the whole world!"

……

In the wing room on the second floor.

After Harris and the brown-eyed old man in brocade clothes finished speaking, except for Qu Xinli who still had a gloomy face and remained silent, the other Hu merchants were all excited.

It would be fine if only one person went crazy, but what is going on if all of them went crazy at the same time?
Not only is he not making any money, but he is also giving up several percent of the business's profits. Could it be that his head is stuck in the door?

Harris watched Qu Xinli's reaction with interest.

The stakes are now so high, he doesn't believe this guy still has a chance of turning the tables!

Managers such as Cui Jin and Chen Wencai were also discussing in low voices, seemingly quite surprised by their proposal.

This made Harris sneer in his heart!
He thought he had already made connections, and with the Jiangnan Gu family stepping in, he thought it wouldn't take much effort. As long as he could get rid of Qu Xinli, the benefits he would gain would be enormous.

"Your Majesty, is he also in Zui Xiang Lou?"

Harris frowned when he thought of the steward who had just left in a hurry.

After half an incense stick of time, the square-faced man hurried in and said something in the ears of Cui Jin, Chen Wencai and others.

Hum! Are you ready to announce it?
Harris smiled inwardly, hesitating whether to continue raising the stakes.

Maybe His Majesty is watching us in secret right now, so we should show our best performance, right?
Just as he cleared his throat and was about to say something, Tribble waved his hand and said with a smile:
"We understand what you all mean! We still need to discuss the specific results carefully!"

Chen Wencai also said:
"I'm sorry to bother you all today! It's getting late, please move to the first floor."

"All consumption is charged to us."

"this?"

These Hu merchants looked at each other in bewilderment, especially Harris and his companions. They wanted to say more, but were politely asked to leave by a steward.

Qu Xinli had a droopy face and was about to leave. He didn't have much capital, so even if he offered, it would be in vain. How could he possibly beat Harris and the others?
Just as he was about to walk out with his lead-like legs moving, he was suddenly stopped by a steward:

"Master Qu, please stay! We have something else to ask you. Would you do us the honor of speaking?"

What? !
This unexpected scene made Harris, the brown-eyed old man and the others all stunned at the same time.
It seems like he hasn’t spoken yet!
Why is he favored?
Harris's face was grim, veins popping out on his forehead, but he couldn't get angry, so he clenched his fists, his eyes gloomy.
The brown-eyed old man also looked deeply for a few times, took a deep breath slowly, and walked out.

No one knows why!
However, these guys also know that from this moment on, Qu Xinli's identity will undergo a huge reversal!

The Hu merchants all had their own thoughts and walked out of the room with complicated expressions!

Qu Xinli was still standing there in a daze, his face filled with disbelief. He looked dully at Cui Jin, Chen Wencai and other managers who were smiling all over their faces.

"Why is this?"
He said harshly.

Can't figure it out!
Ever since he offended the Jiangnan Gu family, he has tried many times to find people to build connections, but he has failed without a doubt.

The relationship network of Dayan is extremely complicated, especially those aristocratic families, who attach great importance to face and rarely tear their faces.

So no one was willing to offend the Gu family for a mere Hu merchant!

"You are a smart man! The power behind us is far beyond your imagination. It depends on your choice."

Chen Wencai seemed to be hinting at something.

"The Gu family is nothing..." a steward also said.

"Haha! You've been valued by that person. Perform well and strive to be entrusted with an important task. You will understand later!"

"I won't treat you unfairly!"

As each person spoke, Qu Xinli felt frightened!
Being valued by that person?
He knew that Cui Jin and his people had very important identities, but he was just a manager, and he didn't take the Gu family seriously...
Is this awesome, or is this just a hole in my brain?

Judging from the current situation, Qu Xinli is more inclined to the former!
"Okay! Let's go to the seventh floor and sit down. I'm sure you know what to do when the time comes."

Cui Jin spoke up.
