Bandung Chamber of Commerce.
As the core of the entire Bandung Chamber of Commerce in the northern area of Jingguo, the flow of people here is not as high as other branches.
Mainly those who can enter here are either rich or noble.
It seemed a little quiet.
Night falls.
The warm yellow light of the candle shone on the finely carved mahogany furniture, glowing with golden light. The flowers and green bamboos inserted in the pottery vase gave off a faint fragrance, which perfectly matched the smell of Chu Jiang'er.
"The idea is good, but the difficulty is far beyond imagination."
"Not even the Bandung Chamber of Commerce?"
Jiang Chen looked at Chu Jiang'er in surprise.
She didn't expect that something else could stump her.
"If you're in Jingguo, I can help you find this so-called black wood, but in Beixia... I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."
"Why?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but become confused.
Looking at the overall situation, Bei Xia's national power is far weaker than that of Jing State, so it should be relatively easier to get things done.
But Chu Jiang'er completely rejected his idea.
"Bei Xia was founded more than two hundred years ago, and it is still at its peak today. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
"Looking back at the situation, a chaotic era has just ended. Although the late emperor worked hard to manage it, it is not even the slightest bit different from Bei Xia in terms of foundation and people's hearts."
Chu Jiang'er said with a serious expression.
This is indeed the case.
If it weren't for Northern Xia's continuous battles with the Yuezhi and some surrounding small tribes and small federations that have not established a country.
In addition, the territory is small, the winter is long, and supplies are in short supply. It may not be the little kid like the Dajing Dynasty who dominates the country now.
"Under a sound system, it is almost impossible to shake the foundation on which they live."
"I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Chu Jiang'er said slightly helplessly.
It's not that she has never thought about black wood, but all the money she spent was lost in the sea, and there was no news about it.
It's like beating a dog with a meat bun.
"It's just that what my sister didn't expect is that you would actually focus on this thing."
"It's quite long."
Very long?
What's so long?
You'd better tell me clearly, otherwise I will suspect what you have planned against me.
He also knew that this matter could not be accomplished overnight.
Not too disappointed.
"I occasionally heard people mention it and became interested in it, but I didn't expect it to be so popular."
Jiang Chen laughed and did not reveal the entire conversation between Xuanyuan Wenya and him.
But it could be seen from Chu Jiang'er's eyes that this foxy girl didn't completely believe in herself.
"However, it's not completely impossible."
Chu Jiang'er gasped for air, which made Jiang Chen choke.
Nothing wrong with it.
I can't finish my words in one breath.
You have to do all these bells and whistles to make yourself stand out, right?
Of course, complaints are complaints, Jiang Chen's body is still very honest.
He obediently approached Chu Jiang'er and poured wine for her.
"Please give me some advice from Shopkeeper Chu."
"Call sister and listen."
Chu Jiang'er held her chin with one hand, her bright eyes looking charming under the candlelight.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.
How could he, a macho man, be manipulated by a woman?
No matter what, you can't scream.
sister……
After Jiang Chen finished his ideological struggle, he was about to show off his old face.
But he saw Chu Jiang'er across from him burst into laughter.
"Sometimes, you're quite cute."
Damn, you're just kidding.
What adjective is cute?
Only when you don't know how to comment on a person, you will call him cute. He is obviously so handsome.
"Actually, it's not like no one uses black wood in Jingguo."
"oh?"
Jiang Chen looked at her curiously, it seemed like there was something serious about this matter.
"Yazhou, on the border of Jingguo, is a bitter and cold place."
"The people there lived in a land of ice and snow, and wood could no longer meet their daily needs for heating and cooking. So the people of Yazhou discovered a kind of black wood deep in the mountains."
"They burn for a long time and are not easily extinguished, preserving the fire for a long time."
"It should be the black wood that Beixia people call it."
Listening to Chu Jiang'er's description, Jiang Chen's eyes gradually lit up.
This is indeed the characteristic of coal.
Some high-quality coals can burn for a long time and even ignite as effectively as hay.
If you can get these coals, you will have another right-hand man on the road to wealth.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
"However, getting these black woods from Yazhou is no less difficult than Beixia."
"As long as there are channels, it's not necessary now anyway."
"Tell me about it, the function of black wood should not only be used for burning and heating." Chu Jiang'er stared at Jiang Chen, as if he could see through his heart.
Jiang Chen sighed softly, as expected nothing could be hidden from this woman's eyes.
It's really hard to deal with smart people.
"Smelting iron!"
"Iron smelting?"
When Jiang Chen said this, Chu Jiang'er seemed to have thought of something.
A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Yes, why didn't she think of it?
Jingguo has always been weak in terms of weapons, and the gap compared to Beixia is not even a tiny bit.
At the beginning, the people of the Mo family seemed to be lamenting the lack of high-purity refined iron.
Chu Jiang'er looked at Jiang Chen, whose brows were furrowed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
She suddenly discovered that she was so interested in a person she had never met before.
What secrets are there about you?
Able to see things that she had never seen clearly.
"Shopkeeper Chu is staring at me like this, and I'm a little scared."
"Don't worry, sister doesn't eat people, she's just interested in you." Chu Jiang'er sat next to Jiang Chen and hooked his chin with her fingers, "I really want to see what's in your body."
"Body?"
Ah, hey, you're not so perverted.
I'm a serious person, I tell you.
Better stay away from me.
After leaving the Bandung Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind to stay away from Chu Jiang'er.
It was simply forcing him to make mistakes.
Although this trip did not achieve the expected goal, it also succeeded in getting back the token of the royal family.
Also got news about coal.
As for the next step, we still need to consider it in the long term.
After all, he is still a bare-bones commander. If he wants to build his own business empire, he must find someone to build a grassroots team.
"Boss, look at your youthful look and the scent of a woman on your body. You must have done something bad."
Just as he was thinking about the first candidate, Jiang Qin came over with a smile.
He looked like he was here for a fight.
The best candidate emerged.
Hey, little fat man, you are welcome to join my pirate ship!
"Jiang Qin, we are brothers."
Holding Jiang Qin's huge head in his arms, Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Boss, your enthusiasm makes me smell a conspiracy."
"How could it be? I'm your boss and I won't harm you."
"real?"
He vaguely remembered someone saying this to him last time.
As a result, everyone who was deceived was wearing their pants.
"Now a huge wealth is going to fall on your head. How about it? Are you willing to take it?"
Jiang Qin looked into Jiang Chen's eyes and said tremblingly.
"Do you want... or don't you want to?"
