Zhou Jin was about to leave when he suddenly stopped again and looked at Su Shi with a pair of dark eyes.
"Why did you suddenly think of drinking with Tang Xiu Nu?"
"Because our silk and satin shop is our next target. The Tang embroidery girl is one of the best in the world in both tailoring and embroidery. If we can win her over, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Did you hit the wall?"
"Yes. Tang Xiunu said that there is no problem with drinking with her, but if you have other ideas, please advise me not to have any wishful thinking."
"The second emperor brother was kind to Tang Xiu Nu. It was also the second emperor brother who took her out of the palace to prevent her from being trapped in the palace. Tang Xiu Nu will never betray him."
"You told me about this, but I still want to give it a try." Su Shi said: "Now it seems that there is no gain. At least there is hope to unlock the secret on the handkerchief."
Although Su Shi said this, Zhou Jin always felt that his intention was more than that, so he did not leave in a hurry and still looked at him with bright eyes.
Su Shi really couldn't resist her gaze, so he could only say, "Of course I have another purpose."
"What purpose?"
"Since Tang Xiu Nu is loyal to King Zhao, I am determined to open a silk and satin shop, and the matter of wooing her will naturally reach the ears of King Zhao."
Zhou Jin said: "So, you deliberately let the Second Emperor know about this."
"yes."
Zhou Jin was puzzled: "Why do you do this?"
Being caught by surprise and unprepared, whether it's fighting or doing business, keeping others from guessing your true purpose will naturally give you the upper hand, so Zhou Jin really didn't understand why Su Shi did this.
Su Shi said slowly: "From today on, whether it is King Qi, King Zhao, or ministers from aristocratic families, they will all feel the terror of capital."
"Capital?" Zhou Jin didn't understand even more.
However, Su Shi did not explain and continued: "Wherever capital goes, not a blade of grass grows. Huge capital can easily destroy an industry, but it can also easily prosper an industry."
"And what I have to do now is to destroy the properties under the names of King Qi, King Zhao and the ministers of the famous families one by one."
Su Shi spoke in a very calm tone, but Zhou Jin was frightened when he heard it.
Although she didn't know how terrifying the capital Su Shi was talking about was, she knew that Su Shi definitely had this ability.
"Wherever capital goes, not a blade of grass grows." Zhou Jin murmured to himself for a while, and suddenly said worriedly: "If capital is as scary as you say, what will ordinary businessmen do?"
"They have only two ways to go. If they don't cooperate with us, they will have to close down. Just like the rice and grain shops this time, those that don't cooperate with us can only last for two months at most."
Zhou Jin exclaimed: "No! Absolutely not!"
Su Shi sneered: "Capital is ruthless. It will only pursue the ultimate benefit. Anyone who hinders it from grabbing benefits will eventually be swallowed up by it."
Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi blankly, as if she didn't recognize him, because she had never seen Su Shi like this before.
Ruthless and arrogant.
Zhou Jin felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. She stood there for a long time before slowly saying, "Do you know why I was willing to trade your boat for your ice-making skills in the first place, and I also wanted it to become a secret forever?" ?”
Hearing Zhou Jin mention the past for no reason, Su Shi was slightly startled and asked, "Why?"
"One-third of the restaurants in the capital are owned by ordinary merchants or ordinary people with special skills. They are caught between the two major forces and can only barely make ends meet. I don't want this ice-making technology to become the last thing that overwhelms them. A straw.”
"Although Brother Prince strongly supports the development of business, he has often warned us that we must not ignore the interests of ordinary merchants. Therefore, while vigorously developing business, we have also established many rules."
Su Shi asked, "Where are those rules now?"
Zhou Jin was silent for a moment, unable to speak.
"The prince once stipulated that the annual interest of the pledge bank should not exceed eight cents. But after the prince's death, who else will implement his regulations?"
Speaking of this, Su Shi smiled slyly and said, "But after Qianqiu Zhiku defeated Dongyuan Zhiku, these people suddenly remembered the rules set by the prince."
Zhou Jin is a smart person. Seeing Su Shi's cunning smile, he immediately understood his voice-over and couldn't help but said in surprise: "You mean, if capital scares them, they will naturally adopt the prince The rules set by my brother to restrict you?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "But when they restricted me, they also tied a rope around themselves."
Zhou Jin was pleasantly surprised but still worried: "But if you do this, you will still hurt many innocent people."
"If you want to make them feel frightened, you must sweep them across with thunderous force, leaving the opponent unable to parry. This will definitely hurt innocent people, but there is nothing you can do about it."
Compassion does not control soldiers, and justice does not control wealth. Zhou Jin still understands this truth, but there is one thing she still doesn't understand.
"I still don't understand, why did you want to have a drink with Tang Xiunu today and tell her your plan?"
Su Shi said slowly: "Today we have sixty-eight shops and restaurants opening. For the other party, they are just surprised. I'm afraid they won't feel fear until a month later."
"Then what?"
"The reason why I told Tang Xiunu my plan is that I hope that after the other party knows the horror of capital, they can think of countermeasures to limit the expansion of capital as soon as possible. If they can't find a way to limit it, I'm worried that Qianqiu Zhiku will eventually Become a monster, and even scarier.”
Speaking of this, Su Shi sighed: "Capital is like the human heart, it is difficult to be controlled by others, and it is easy to confuse people. If..."
Su Shi didn't say any more, because there were some words that didn't need to be explained.
Zhou Jin seemed to have some understanding, she murmured: "So Qianqiu Zhiku must be in our hands."
Su Shi said calmly: "We are human beings too. And once the world knows the horror of capital, it will definitely arouse the covet and worry of others."
"More importantly, I want to draw those people out as quickly as possible."
"Who do you want to seduce?"
Su Shi sighed: "Have you forgotten the purpose of all this? Is it really for business?"
Only then did Zhou Jin suddenly remember their purpose.
"You mean they are going to take action?"
"I once told Tang Xiunu that I am interested in getting involved in any industry that can make money in the capital. In a month, King Qi, King Zhao and those ministers from aristocratic families will know that what I said is no joke."
"What will they do then?"
Zhou Jin said without hesitation: "They will definitely unite to deal with you."
Su Shi nodded: "Capital scares them, so what they think about every day at that time must be how to deal with me, and they will definitely join forces, so King Qi and King Zhao will not have time to think about anything else. "
Zhou Jin suddenly realized: "In this way, we have completely disrupted Pei Xun's plan."
"If Pei Xun is still alive, he will find a way to deal with me within ten days. But now that he is dead, I am afraid that those people will not take action until they truly feel the terror of Qianqiu Company. So no more than a month at the latest, those people will I won’t be able to hold myself back.”
