Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 43

(Note: To answer a question, a friend asked if there were counties and counties before the Six Kingdoms were unified. The answer is yes, and Qin has gone further than the Six Kingdoms in this regard.)
"Brother Niu is here, and the humble house is full of splendor." Zeng Shu cupped his fists at a tall, fat middle-aged man and said, "Brother Niu, please come inside."

This middle-aged man was called Niu Yuanhui, a well-known local businessman, and in today's words, he was a rich man in the local area. He was invited by Zeng Shufa to come to the banquet.Niu Yuanhui cupped his fists and said, "Brother Zeng invites you, but Niu Yuanhui dares not to obey. Brother Zeng, please."

The two walked together, and when they came to the living room, Niu Yuanhui realized that there were many people in the room, all together.These people have one feature in common, they look like Niu Yuanhui, with a slightly fat body and a little belly fat. In a funny way, they say "big head, thick neck, either wealthy or cook".They were not cooks, they were big money at that time, and they were all rich people Zeng Shufa knew.

Niu Yuanhui's experience is also extraordinary. At a glance, he knows that these people are rich and powerful just like himself. How dare he be negligent, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Niu Yuanhui has seen you all."

"Master Niu, long time no see." A man in his fifties clasped his fists in salute.

Niu Yuanhui returned the gift and said, "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for more than a year. How many people have been added to the cabinet?"

Grandpa Sun called Sun Shangning, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Master Niu, there are NO. 30 people added to the counter in our store. Without Master Niu, the business is booming, so Master Niu laughs."

"No. 30 people, not a lot. I just added No. 70." Niu Yuanhui said with a smile, he only added a dozen people to the cabinet, so naturally he couldn't tell the truth about his feelings, or he would be looked down upon.

Niu Yuanhui sat down amidst the applause of Master Niu.

"Brother Zeng invited us here, what is the purpose?" Niu Yuanhui was a little impatient, and began to inquire about Zeng Shu's tone.

With so many rich people gathered together, there must be something very important, otherwise Zeng Shufa would never have made such a big move. He asked this question in the hearts of everyone, looked at Zeng Shufa, and waited for him to give an answer.

Zeng Shufa clasped his fists, and said unhurriedly: "Zeng Shufa took the liberty of inviting all shopkeepers to visit the humble house. There is really something important to discuss. Recently, Zeng received a big deal, which is too big. Zeng's strength was beyond his reach, so Zeng thought of all the shopkeepers and invited them to the humble house. Thanks to all the shopkeepers for their perseverance, Zeng thanked you here."

"Oh, Master Zeng, why didn't you say so sooner? I just bought a batch of medicinal materials and haven't sold them yet, otherwise I would have no problem lending you 8000 taels of silver." Niu Yuanhui looked regretful.

Did he really get in?Ghost letter.This is the treacherous face of a businessman, so he imagined that Zeng Shufa wanted to borrow money from them, so he made up such a lie.

There are not a few people who are thinking like him, talking endlessly.

If it is another person, it will definitely happen.Zeng Shufa has spent his whole life rolling around in the trading market. He has seen this kind of face too much. He smiled slightly and said: "Master Niu's business is booming, and he is making a lot of money every day. Congratulations. Zeng is here to congratulate Master Niu." Turning around, he said: "This transaction by Zeng is not a mountain product or a sea food, nor is it a rare medicinal material, it is a very common thing."

"Master Zeng, what is that? Master Zeng, we have known each other for so many years, and we have experienced a lot of ups and downs. If I can help you, I, Mr. Sun, will definitely help you." Sun Shangning was very tactful, saying a lot was equivalent to saying nothing.Is it speculation, to see if there is any profit, if there is any profit, he will pay, if not, then say "Master Zeng, I really want to help you, but I have more than I want but not enough".

How could Zeng Shufa not understand his thoughts, and followed his words: "Sun Ye is right, we have experienced a lot of ups and downs in these years, and everyone has helped me Zeng Shufa a lot. Zeng thought to himself, Now that we have a sale, we will do it together, so we decided to divide this sale into several small batches, and let the masters help me, this price is naturally negotiable, fair trade, no one loses."

Businessman, who doesn't want to make money?These businessmen suddenly became interested and asked, "Master Zeng, what kind of business is it?"

"Masters, have you heard of Zhou Gong paper and Zhou Gong pen?" Zeng Shufa asked.

Niu Yuanhui nodded and said: "I heard, it's very hot. I heard that the government is going to buy it, and doing business with the government is the most profitable. It's a pity that I don't have that life, so I don't know how to do it."

Zeng Shu waved his hand and said, "Master Niu, don't be sorry, my deal is Zhou Gong paper and Zhou Gong pen. Are you interested?"

The name of Zhou Gongzhi and Zhou Gongbi has long been spread. These businessmen are shrewd about making money. How could they not be interested? Niu Yuanhui immediately became interested and asked: "Master Zeng, what price do you give? There happened to be a medicine dealer in the past two days. Buy medicinal materials from me, and in order to help Zeng Ye, I can sell them at a low price."

Zeng Shu clasped his fists together, and said, "Everyone, I'm just a matchmaker. Let Zhou Gong discuss with you how to do this business. Please, Zhou Gong!" he shouted.

Zhou Chong's new nickname has replaced the old nickname "Tofu Zhou", which is very resounding.These businessmen never expected to see Duke Zhou, and they were all full of energy, standing up to welcome Zhou Chong's appearance.

Accompanied by Wei Liao, Wang Ao, Li Si and Zeng Shuyao, Zhou Chong strode forward.Wei Liao's master and apprentice were very enthusiastic about this matter, and both of them had extraordinary temperaments in conversation, so if they came to press for a while, the amount would naturally be much heavier.

Li Si is a guest, and the celebrity in front of King Qin has more weight. As long as he appears, these businessmen will be more confident.Zeng Shuyao was very happy, holding Li Si's arm, with a happy expression on her face.

Zeng Shufa is also very good at acting, pointing to Zhou Chong and introducing: "Everyone, this is Zhou Gong, the founder of Zhou Gong Paper and Zhou Gong Pen. Speaking of Zhou Gong's magical skills, there are many. Everyone knows that boiling water rolls snowflakes, The oil that grows from the stone is the work of Duke Zhou.”

The shadow of a tree, the name of a person, this is true.Zhou Chong's reputation is really not small, and all the businessmen were surprised, they clasped their fists and said, "I have seen Duke Zhou." The arrogance just now was gone, like a bulldog seeing its master, expecting him to give him alms. The root meat and bones are generally docile.

This is the face of a businessman. As we now say "customer first", no one dares to offend customers.

"Your ad is so well done, it has such a miraculous effect. If it is in modern society, you can go for the big prize." Zhou Chong was a little amused in his heart, pretending to be an expert, and said with a fist: "See Zhou Chong Thank you, big shopkeepers."

Zeng Shufa went on to introduce: "This is Mr. Liaozi, and this is Mr. Wang Aowang."

The master and the apprentice are a generation of masters, with a different temperament and a sense of freshness. These copper-smelling businessmen felt ashamed from the bottom of their hearts, and said respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Liaozi, I have seen Wang gentlemen."

Wei Liao, master and apprentice, clasped their fists in return, saying: "People from the mountains and fields dare not accept generous gifts from shopkeepers."

Zeng Shufa took a look at his satisfied daughter, and said proudly: "This is Mr. Li Sili, the guest minister personally appointed by the King of Qin." Thinking that Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law has such a skill, he has won the appreciation of the King of Qin. Great news, my face glowed with excitement.

The position of guest minister has existed in Qin State for many years, but there are not many guest ministers who have been appointed by the King of Qin. The appointment of the King of Qin means smooth progress and a bright future. How can these shrewd businessmen not understand the power of it, and they clasped their fists in surprise and bowed their heads. He bowed down and said, "I've met Master Li." Seeing how their eyes and nose are looking at their hearts, they are a hundred times more respectful than seeing Zhou Chong and Wei Liao's master and apprentice.

Li Si's powerful person, it is a great enjoyment for him to have everyone bowed at his feet, with an attitude of accepting it calmly, he cupped his fist slightly and said: "Every shopkeeper, please excuse me."

With Li Si as the heavyweight "finale guest", the crowd no longer dared to make noise, and some even dared not show their atmosphere.

Zeng Shufa was very satisfied with Li Si's majesty, he kept stroking his beard, and said with a smile: "The specific matters will be explained to the shopkeepers by Duke Zhou."

"Business and officialdom have the same principle: flattery!" Zhou Chong sighed in his heart, coughed, and began to elaborate on his thoughts.
