Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 236 0235: Suggestion; Banquet!

After listening to Li Yihe's story, Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Lu: "Do you understand this time? Temporary interests are not as important as long-term interests. Just listen to the boss."

Li Lu sighed, "I just couldn't help myself when I saw them making money. My brothers were also pushing me too hard."

"You are the gang leader, how can you be controlled by them? This is not a small street gang, we have to follow the plan. One move can affect the whole body." Cheng Zongyang was speechless. Then he thought of something and suddenly asked: "Where do those people get so much money? Do they have spare money to gamble and go to brothels?"

Li Yihe bowed and said, "Boss, these are the wages earned by the entire county during this period. The people of the other three families have also begun to reclaim wasteland outside their respective cities, build new houses, etc. Now that the county is stable and the prices are relatively low, they are more willing to take money than food.

The people used the money to buy food and other things. At present, the Cheng family's caravan and the gang's escort agency have started commercial transactions in nearby counties, and some daily necessities can still be purchased.

At present, I have prepared a caravan to the county town to see if I can purchase more things. Of course, this depends on how the talks between you and the Great Easy Chamber of Commerce go.

If it doesn't work, the caravan will set off at any time. If it works, then there's no need."

Cheng Zongyang was satisfied with Li Yihe's efficiency, and he did not choose the wrong person. He just smiled and said, "If that's the case, I will be under a lot of pressure."

Li Yihe also smiled and said, "I believe you can do it."

Li Lu also nodded: "I saw that they were in a hurry when they came, so I guess it must have worked. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so anxious."

Cheng Zongyang looked at Li Lu: "Were you there last night?"

Li Lu shook his head: "No. I was in the village last night. But they traveled overnight. I think they should do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, there is no need to be so anxious."

Now, Cheng Zongyang and Li Yihe both nodded in agreement with what Li Lu said.

"Okay, if it works, then we should start building the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters and warehouse." Cheng Zongyang said, "Boss, how do you think this place should be arranged?"

After thinking for a while, Li Yihe asked, "Can we arrange this place?"

Cheng Zongyang said, "Let's assume. But the Chamber of Commerce must be in Xicheng District, there is no room for negotiation. The question is where to put it."

Li Yihe pondered for a moment and said, "According to the opening habits of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce, it is basically located in the central area of ​​the city. If it is in our Xicheng District, the best location can only be at the crossroads.

It can face the other three districts, the number of people it faces, and the location advantages are unquestionable. But if the boss wants the Dayi Chamber of Commerce to drive the West District, I suggest putting it near the city gate of West Street. As long as it is a little away from the market, it can drive the entire West District."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to explain without waiting for Cheng Zongyang and Li Lu to ask:
"We have set up a market at the city gate, where some people are already selling handicrafts, such as woven bamboo products, furniture made by carpenters, and wild vegetables picked from the mountains.

It can be said that the future market, together with West Street, will be the most lively commercial market street in Xicheng District. If the Dayi Chamber of Commerce is added, basically all commercial activities in the entire county can be concentrated in Xicheng District.

Sir, in the future, merchants from other places will only enter and exit from the west gate. By then, we can build more vendors’ markets or merchant stations outside the west city gate, and park cattle and horses, which will increase our income.

In less than a year, the West District of Yufeng County will be the only one in power! The other three districts will have no chance of competing with us!
As for the Chamber of Commerce warehouse, I suggest that we find a piece of land outside of West City and build it for them to use as their storage and transit point. After all, the land in West City will be very valuable in the future. Boss Li, do you think your brothel and gambling house will have no business by then?"

At the end, Li Yihe looked at Li Lu and gave him a smile that you know.

Li Lu indeed understood it, and he could even feel the extremely prosperous scene in the future!
"Boss, I am truly convinced! If it really comes to that, I am afraid even one or two rooms won't be enough to seat everyone. Hahaha!"

Li Lu was very excited and looked at Cheng Zongyang: "Young Patriarch, I completely agree with the proposal of the chief treasurer! This is of great benefit to us! In less than a year, it is possible to swallow up the other three families!"

Cheng Zongyang smiled, and of course he understood what Li Yihe said. He could even extend more business behaviors based on his experience and knowledge in his previous life!

It can be said that Li Yihe’s proposal is very good.

If the Dayi Chamber of Commerce stays in Xicheng District, it will boost the entire Xicheng District! At that time, the rent of houses in Xicheng District will be really expensive!
"Okay, I will have a good talk with them tonight." Cheng Zongyang also had an idea in his mind.

Time passed quickly and it was night. Because it was summer, the sun set later than in winter and spring.

Residents of the county town had basically finished their dinner before the sun set, and many children were chasing and playing in the streets, returning to their former bustle.

The adults sitting at the doorsteps of each house, although still thin, had regained their usual smiles.

Everything is recovering rapidly in the right direction.

On the third floor of Cheng's Restaurant, in a corner of the main street of Xicheng District.

At this time, Cheng Zongyang met Chen Kaishan and Zheng Tianhai who came from Cheng's Inn.

"You two, I am sorry for the inconvenience." Cheng Zongyang came up to greet them warmly. On the table beside them, there were already six dishes and a soup, as well as the medicinal wine that Cheng Zongyang brought with him.

"No, I just didn't expect you to come back so soon." Chen Kaishan said with a smile.

The three of them also sat down.

Cheng Zongyang didn't care whether the other party had a hidden meaning in his words. While pouring wine for the two of them, he said:

"This is just a coincidence. I estimated the time it would take you to go back and forth, and it should be about the same time, so I came back early. As a result, I received the message on the way. Come, try the wine I brought from home. This is a medicinal wine prepared with a secret recipe at home, which is quite effective for warriors."

After saying this, he put the wine jug aside and raised his glass to signal.

"Oh, then I'll give it a try." Zheng Tianhai smiled.

After the two of them took a sip, they suddenly felt a soft stream of wine going down their throats, and the slightly medicinal wine filled their mouths, but what followed was a warm current rising in their stomachs.

This warm current quickly spread to every part of the body, making the whole body feel as comfortable as the warm winter sun.

After a while, they both felt that the energy and blood in their bodies increased.

The one who felt it most obviously was Zheng Tianhai. He was only at the seventh level of cultivation, and now was the time for him to accumulate and increase his Qi and blood.

"You two, please chat first. I need to absorb and refine this medicinal power!"

Zheng Tianhai couldn't help it, so he had to say something to the two of them, then went downstairs and went to the backyard.

Seeing this, Chen Kaishan exclaimed: "I didn't expect your wine to have such a great effect. Even I can feel a slight increase."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "A lot of good medicines are used in this, and one of the main ingredients is the bone of an exotic animal."

Now, Chen Kaishan was even more surprised: "Exotic beast bones? No wonder. This exotic beast is full of treasures, and it is rare even in the Chamber of Commerce. This wine is very valuable."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "When entertaining friends, friendship is priceless. It's just a pot of wine, what's that? Come on, have a few more drinks." As he said that, he poured another glass for Chen Kaishan.

Chen Kaishan was not polite. Although the growth effect was average for him, it was still effective. Now that he was at the fifth level of cultivation, he also needed blood and qi to strengthen his internal strength, so as to speed up the breakthrough of the acupoints.

After the two of them drank a few more glasses, Chen Kaishan got to the point and said with a smile:
"If I don't bring you good news this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the restaurant."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang laughed and said, "Look at what you said. Isn't this being polite? Business is business, and eating is eating. Am I so stingy?"

"Haha, okay, I won't beat around the bush. Let's eat later. First, I'll tell you the result of my application after I go back this time."

At this point, Chen Kaishan's expression became slightly serious, and he looked at Cheng Zongyang and said:
“This time when I returned, I handed over the matters here and the two documents you wrote to the higher-ups. After two days of discussion, they basically agreed to set up the Yufeng County branch of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce in Yufeng County.

But there are also requirements above. In addition to the conditions you wrote, there are other requirements. Take a look. "

As he spoke, he took out a slightly wrinkled letter from his arms and handed it to Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang was filled with excitement. While taking the letter with both hands, he did not forget to say to Chen Kaishan: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Chen and Uncle Zheng. If it weren't for your running around and worrying about it, there wouldn't be any results so quickly. There is even a great possibility that there would be no results at all."

Having said that, he was in no hurry to open the letter, but continued to pour a glass of wine for Chen Kaishan: "I'll toast you another glass."

Chen Kaishan smiled and accepted Cheng Zongyang's words with peace of mind.

"You are indeed different. I still say that if you are willing, you can still join the Chamber of Commerce at any time. You don't need to apply to the higher-ups for this. I can directly accept you into the Chamber of Commerce and give you the position of branch deacon.

In the Yufeng County branch, this position is second only to the branch manager. A branch has several deacons with different job responsibilities. If you are willing to join, we can discuss your responsibilities. This is one of the reasons why the Chamber of Commerce agreed to set up a branch in Yufeng County. "

Cheng Zongyang, who was opening the letter, paused when he heard this and looked at Chen Kaishan in surprise: "Uncle Chen, why is this?"

Chen Kaishan drank the wine in his hand, looked at Cheng Zongyang, and said with admiration: "I told the higher-ups about you. The elders are also optimistic about talents like you. It can be considered an investment. You will know after reading the contents of the letter."

Cheng Zongyang didn't ask any more questions and opened the letter to read it.

He scanned the letter first. It was only two pages and the content was not much. This made Cheng Zongyang feel a little relieved.

At least there won’t be too many requirements.

However, when he finished reading, his expression gradually became solemn. After reading it, he fell into a state of deep thought.

Just at this time Zheng Tianhai came back.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the two silent people. When he saw the letters in Cheng Zongyang's hand, he did not interrupt him. He sat down and looked at Chen Kaishan, and then glanced at the letters in Cheng Zongyang's hand. Seeing this, the latter nodded slightly. Zheng Tianhai immediately understood.

After just a few minutes, Cheng Zongyang put down the letter in his hand.

"Uncle Zheng, how do you feel?" Cheng Zongyang knew that Zheng Tianhai had returned, and asked with a slight smile on his face.

Zheng Tianhai nodded: "The effect is very good! It improves the blood and qi a lot. This medicinal wine is worth a lot, right?"

Cheng Zongyang chuckled: "Why, Uncle Zheng still wants to buy it?"

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he straightened his face and said with a slightly unhappy expression: "I have asked someone to prepare a bottle. Wait for Uncle Zheng to take it away when he returns. This is a meeting gift from the younger generation, you can't refuse it."

Zheng Tianhai was speechless at this point, and he didn't know what to say. When he was a police chief in the county, he had never accepted anything from others privately.

This seems to be the first time he has collected things like this?
Seeing Zheng Tianhai's hesitation, Chen Kaishan looked at him and said teasingly, "Your cousin is also friendly with him. It's reasonable for him to call you uncle and say that he is your junior. Why bother?"

Hearing this, Zheng Tianhai nodded and said, "Okay. I'll accept it."

He is not good at speaking, but he knows what to do in the future.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Chen Kaishan at this time and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, I have also prepared a gift for you. It is also effective for the third-grade warriors."

Chen Kaishan smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be polite with you. But what do you say about the letter?"

At this point, Cheng Zongyang sighed and said, "Alas, there are not many conditions here, some are difficult and some are easy. It's really hard for me to make a decision. How about giving you a reply tomorrow?"

Chen Kaishan was not in a hurry. He knew that this needed to be considered. After all, it was not a trivial matter. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

But Cheng Zongyang said, "Uncle Chen, if I agree, can I designate the location of the Chamber of Commerce? Of course, all necessary specifications will be met."

Chen Kaishan frowned: "The location of the Dayi Chamber of Commerce has always been in the central area of ​​the city. This is not only the status of the Chamber of Commerce, but also the concentration of personnel. What do you think?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "You also know the current structure and governance of Yufeng County. The West City District is under the jurisdiction of the Cheng family and the Tianduan Gang. Since I brought this Chamber of Commerce here, it should naturally stay in the Dayi Chamber of Commerce. How could it be given to the other three forces?"

Now, Chen Kaishan understood what Cheng Zongyang meant and said with a smile:

"So that's how it is. But you are good at calculating. If this Chamber of Commerce is located in Xicheng District, I'm afraid that Xicheng District will become the focus in the future, and merchants from all over the country will also gather in Xicheng District, which will attract a lot of business people."

Cheng Zongyang raised his lips and said, "I used my own strength to win over the Chamber of Commerce. Why should I give them a discount?"

Chen Kaishan didn't care about this. The Dayi Chamber of Commerce paid attention to location, but not to either.

Because wherever the Dayi Chamber of Commerce is, it is an absolute commercial guarantee! It is no exaggeration to say that wherever the Dayi Chamber of Commerce is, it is the center.

Nowadays, setting up one in a county town means that there is an additional commercial center in the central area between Linchuan Prefecture and Xiangyang Prefecture, forming a triangular area.

At that time, Yufeng County will only become more and more prosperous. It may even develop into a county town in the future.

But at this time, Cheng Zongyang suddenly asked: "The Dayi Chamber of Commerce has set up a branch here. Is there any problem with the Li family?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaishan sneered and said, "The Li family has no control over the Dayi Chamber of Commerce."

Cheng Zongyang's eyes sparkled.

He likes the domineering confidence of Dayi Chamber of Commerce!
