The evil king's favorite snake and scorpion concubine

Chapter 652: A Murderer (4)
There is a large round table in the elegant room on the second floor, the tablecloth with dark purple gold silk pattern, landscape paintings on the wall, green bonsai in the corner, and incense burning in a small three-legged incense burner with Fushou patterns. The whole space is not luxurious. After several people sat down, Lu Tiannan ordered Xiaoer to serve the dishes. The exquisite dishes came up one after another like flowing water. Hua Jingyu glanced at them. They were all exquisite and expensive dishes. It cost a lot of money, it seems that Lu Tiannan is bleeding, but this small amount of money is only a hair for President Lu who is a businessman.

"My lord and my concubine have worked hard all the way here from the capital. Today is my kindness. I specially treat my lord and my concubine's family to a meal. From now on, we will all live in Youzhou, and we will be one family."

As the president of the chamber of commerce, Lu Tiannan is used to communicating and speaks tactfully. Although he was disappointed when the prince of Beiyou brought the concubine to come here, he has adjusted his mentality now.

"President Lu, you are too polite. This princess knows that President Lu is a great kind person. He only likes to do good deeds and accumulate good karma. The prince and I like people like President Lu the most."

One sentence stopped Lu Tiannan's face from turning pale, and sweat broke out again. A person who is used to talking, but met such a tough and eloquent person, he felt speechless.

Someone soon spoke up, a thin middle-aged man: "Princess really can talk, come, let's eat."

Everyone in the private room began to eat, talking while eating, and drinking a glass of wine from time to time. After drinking for three rounds, Lu Tiannan pointed his eyes at a companion on the side. He didn't dare to speak casually anymore. Eye on him.

"My lord, Caomin has something to say, if it's not well said, don't be annoyed by your lord and princess."

"Say," Nangong Lingtian said simply while holding the wine glass. The man calmed down and said calmly: "The prince ordered the rice to fall to five cents a bucket earlier. The grass people are overwhelmed. When it comes to five cents a bucket, our business can’t be done at all. Youzhou doesn’t produce rice, and these things are shipped in from thousands of miles away. Other places can only sell five cents a bucket, but we can’t, except for the freight. Labor and labor, and sometimes compensation for casualties caused by bandits are a huge expense. It’s really impossible to make money, and you can only lose money.”

Nangong Lingtian raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Tiannan and the few people opposite, without saying a word, the light in his pupils floated up and down, making them confused, but if the rice is really limited to five cents a bucket , They don't do rice grain business anymore, whoever loves to do it, how can they do business at a loss as businessmen without making money.

"What does President Lu mean, to say that there is no defense?"

Hua Jingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled at Yan Yan's opening. Lu Tiannan's scalp tingled and he was a little startled. This woman is not easy to provoke, but he will never do such a loss-making business, so Lu Tiannan is calm He raised his head and said, "If the lord insists on paying five cents for a bucket of rice, then the grassroots will have to stop doing this rice business in the future. Please forgive me, lord."

After Lu Tiannan finished speaking, other people also said one after another: "My lord, if the price of rice can't be raised, we won't do the rice business."

Several people acted like dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.

Hua Jingyu raised his eyes and glanced at the few people on the opposite side, the smile on his face slowly subsided, his expression looked a little cold, his eyes were cold, and he reached out to take a sip of tea, which made the several members of the chamber of commerce opposite I'm a little uneasy, if they really don't do the rice business, they're making it clear that they're against the prince, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stay in Youzhou in the future, but they are from Youzhou, and no one wants to leave their hometown to do business in other places, but If they are allowed to do this business, they really can't make much money, so they are in a dilemma.

Hua Jingyu put down the teacup in his hand, and said softly: "I thought President Lu sincerely invited us to dinner today, and I was very happy, but it turns out that everyone is threatening us, you think you don't want to do this rice business Don't we have anyone to do it?"

The voice was as cold as ice in February, instantly freezing everyone's hearts.

The faces of the people on the opposite side immediately stiffened, and they remained silent for a long time. Hua Jingyu then said: "Originally, I still have some big business to do with Chairman Lu. Although the price of rice doesn't make much money, other businesses are You want to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect President Lu to threaten this princess. Do you think that this princess can be bluffed by others? Since you think rice is not profitable, then don't do it. "

After she finished speaking, she looked at Nangong Lingtian beside her: "My lord, let's go, it doesn't matter if you don't want to eat this meal, you can go back and make an announcement to see if anyone is willing to do this rice business, and take some of my business by the way." and hand it over to people.”

Nangong Lingtian responded and stood up slowly.

President Lu's face on the opposite side changed several times, especially when he heard what Hua Jingyu said behind him, that there was actually a big business, he couldn't help but get up, and quickly got up and said, "It's the grass people's fault for the prince and princess to stay behind. I apologize, and punish myself with three glasses of wine."

As a person in the business field, Lu Tiannan is very shrewd. Originally, he wanted to raise the price of rice slightly by using this trick, but he didn't really want to mess with these two. They are going against the Beiyou Palace, isn't it? Let's hit the stone with an egg, there are quite a few powerful generals under the King of Beiyou, if they are provoked, they will die in secret.

Unexpectedly, the concubine actually said that she wanted to cooperate with him in other business, Lu Tiannan suddenly became interested, and got up quickly to make an apology and an apology.

Nangong Lingtian and Hua Jingyu didn't really want to leave, they just wanted to scare Lu Tiannan. When they first arrived in Youzhou, they had to blame Lu Tiannan for many business matters. Now Lu Tiannan is apologizing and pleading guilty Yes, he sat down again, and then talked about business matters, Hua Jingyu told Lu Tiannan his preliminary idea, first set up a few purchasing agents, and later the agency rights of medicinal materials and tea leaves can be handed over to Lu Tiannan. Their chamber of commerce is fully responsible, and the split is [-]/[-]. The chamber of commerce is responsible for the purchases, and the Beiyou Palace is responsible for the sales and purchases outside, so that Youzhou will not worry about being rich.

After talking like this, everyone in the private room became excited. As a businessman, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Lu Tiannan, naturally knew that this was a foreign investment. Generally, the most troublesome thing in doing business is exporting. Now the prince is in charge of exporting. There was nothing they couldn't do. Thinking about it, they felt that the future was promising. The more Lu Tiannan thought about it, the happier he got up, and offered three glasses of wine to Nangong Lingtian.

The reason why Hua Jingyu chose to cooperate with Lu Tiannan was that although he was a profiteer, his heart was not very bad. I heard that when the prefect of Tan prefecture transferred the rice from the granary and sold it for twelve cents, Lu Tiannan tried to stop it, but Tan Fang insisted on raising the price of rice to [-] cents like crazy, and there was nothing they could do about it.
