The wealthy businessmen of all clans looked behind him. The curtain illuminated by candlelight was lifted from the inside, and a tall and strong young man walked out.
"It's you!"
Someone at the table recognized him.
Although this young man was not wearing day-old military armor and was only wearing ordinary coarse cloth, his god-like body and sword-cut face were still recognizable to anyone who had seen him.
Someone asked him who this person was?
He turned his head and muttered, and the table suddenly exploded.
Someone stood up on the spot and pointed at Shopkeeper Wang and asked why he was brought here.
This is an ominous person.
It will bring risks to their peaceful and prosperous lives.
This was a man who caused panic in the whole city as soon as he entered the city.
They have been quiet for four years. Anyone who wants to destroy this quietness is their enemy and needs to disappear!
"Everyone, please be patient."
Shopkeeper Wang pressed his hands to appease everyone and said, "I am just like you. We have common interests and common enemies. How can I shoot myself in the foot?"
The wealthy businessmen at the table also fell silent after hearing his words, waiting for his next explanation.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the second son of my Langya Wang family, and the next heir of my Wang family."
As soon as Shopkeeper Wang said this, the wealthy merchants of the Fan tribe were shocked. They didn't understand what official positions were in the Song Dynasty, but they understood it when they told them about the Langya Wang family. This is the biggest patron of the Fan tribe, the most distinguished guest, and the longest-lasting customer. of collaborators.
They understand the Langya Wang family much better than most upper-class Song people.
This is a super family that spans many countries and has lasted for thousands of years.
It can be said that even the princes of the Song Dynasty would not be so shocked here, but the status of the next leader of the Langya Wang family is so noble that they are not even qualified to contact him. Only the leader of their tribe can contact him. The presence.
At this time, no wealthy businessman dared to sit down anymore, they all stood up to greet him.
Wang Zhi was not polite, walked to the front seat and sat down, gesturing for everyone to take their seats.
"Everyone, sit down. I am here today not to represent the Song Dynasty military, but only to represent my Langya Wang family."
All the wealthy businessmen were relieved when they heard this. As long as they didn't come to seize the city and start a war, there would be nothing to worry about.
"The main reason I came here this time is to talk to you about business matters."
"Fighting and killing are the business of the people in power above. We are all businessmen, and naturally harmony brings wealth. A peaceful and stable border environment is our common pursuit."
Upon hearing this, a wealthy foreign businessman asked proactively, "Then, my distinguished royal master, what kind of business do you want to discuss with us?"
Wang Zhi looked at the fan and asked, "What do you call this brother?"
The foreign businessman stood up, put his hand on his chest, bowed and saluted: "Respected royal master, my name is Shi Kua, and I am from the Tuyuhun tribe."
"Brother Shi, please sit down."
Wang Zhi asked the Tuyuhun tribesman named Shi Kua to sit down and then asked him, "May I ask, what do the Shi brothers do for a living?"
Shi Kua replied respectfully: "Back to the royal family master, my family mainly makes a living by herding cattle and sheep."
Wang Zhi asked again: "Brother Shi, how much does this sheep cost?"
Shi Kua thought for a while and then said: "If it is transported to Pingxia City and sold, a pound of mutton will cost five yuan, a pound of wool will cost one hundred yuan, a sheepskin will cost two hundred yuan, and an adult live sheep will cost about five hundred yuan." money."
Wang Zhi briefly compared the price of a sheep in Beijing at five taels of silver. He was shocked. It was really a tenfold difference, but he still nodded with an impassive expression.
When Shi Kua saw Wang Zhi nodding, he quickly continued: "If the royal family buys it in large quantities, the price can be lower."
Wang Zhi smiled and said, "What does Brother Shi need?"
"Food, a lot of food." Shikua answered briefly but firmly.
"Then let me ask Brother Shi, how much does one stone cost to buy food in Pingxia City?"
"The rice provided by the noble royal family to our family is one thousand eight hundred yuan per stone."
Wang Zhi nodded and said slowly: "If I buy Brother Shi a sheep for 1,500 yuan and sell Brother Shi a stone of rice for 1,000 yuan, what does Brother Shi think?"
When Shi Kua heard the words, he was still calculating in his heart, but his pupils suddenly dilated in an instant, and he stood up immediately and asked in surprise: "Is the master of the royal family telling the truth?"
Wang Zhi smiled and nodded, but shopkeeper Wang angrily yelled from behind: "Shi Kua, what do you mean? When did I, the Wang family of Langya, not mean what I said?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, noble royal master, I'm really too excited, I... I'll apologize to you."
After speaking, Shi Kua left the table, walked into the hall and bowed deeply to Wang Zhi three times.
At this time, the other wealthy businessmen of the Fan tribe at the table could not sit still when they saw the situation, and asked Wang Zhike if he wanted anything else.
Wang Zhi looked at the most wealthy businessman present and asked, "What do you call this brother?"
Hearing this, the wealthy businessman stood up excitedly and introduced himself: "To tell you the story, Mr. Wang, my name is Xifeng Huaizai, from the Dangxiang clan."
Wang Zhi frowned, "A member of the Dangxiang tribe?"
Seeing that Wang Zhi looked unhappy, Xi Fenghuai immediately added: "Young master Wang, you don't know that our Xiang tribe also has many tribes, not just the Tuoba tribe. Our tribe also has many dissatisfaction with the Tuoba tribe, and they are not all of the same mind. "
Wang Zhi nodded. He didn't know that the Dangxiang clan had any sub-clan, but he knew that the original surname of the Dangxiang Emperor's Li family was indeed 'Tuoba'.
Wang Zhi waved his hand and asked him to sit down, "Business does not respect national boundaries. My Wang family does business without looking at the surname. Even if the Tuoba Li family wants to do business with my Wang family, as long as the transaction is fair, that's okay."
"What kind of business does the noble do and what does it need?"
"Back to the prince, my clan's main business is blue and white salt, which requires iron, copper, silk, tea, porcelain, cloth..."
Xifeng Huai talked about a lot of things in detail, and Wang Zhi summed it up by saying that he didn't make a choice, but he wanted everything Xixia lacked.
Wang Zhi nodded and did not reply to him in time. Instead, he asked the next wealthy businessman. This wealthy businessman said that he was from the Tubo tribe... followed by Xianbei, Liugu, Uighur, Turk, Qifu, Qingtang... basically doing business in Pingxia City All the respectable foreigners were invited by Shopkeeper Wang.
This shows how influential the Langya Wang family is in the business community here.
After all the wealthy businessmen on the table had been introduced, Wang Zhi had a general understanding of Xixia's situation and confirmed his previous conclusions.
This dynasty is a collection of interests of all tribes led by the Dangxiang Tuoba tribe.
To be precise, they are a chamber of commerce with armed forces, and the president of the chamber of commerce is Tuoba Li.
The president needs to take care of the interests of every member. If the interests of the members are harmed, they will raise a flag to rebel. If their common interests are harmed, then they will attack the Song Dynasty and demand that the Song Dynasty release their interests. As long as the Song Dynasty releases their interests, Song was willing to relent and let them take a sip of the soup, and they would retreat and surrender.
As long as you understand the nature of the enemy, you can directly hit him within three inches!
They actually don't care who is the president of this chamber of commerce. As long as they can safeguard their interests and protect their rights and interests, they can sit.
Since the Tuoba Li family can sit, why can’t I, the Langya Wang family?
Today, I, Wang Erlang, will come to sit down with the president of the Xixia Chamber of Commerce!
"good!"
Wang Zhi waved his hands to silence everyone, "I understand your demands. As long as all your items are purchased, I, the Langya Wang Sect, will purchase them at three times the market price. All the goods purchased from me, the Langya Wang Sect, will be discounted at 21% of the market price! "
Didn’t future generations say that with triple the benefits, they could trample all laws in the world?
Okay, I'll give you three times, and see if you can defeat the Tuoba Li family for me!
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, the wealthy merchants of all clans were overjoyed. However, after the celebration, some people calmed down and asked Wang Zhi if he had any requirements for them.
There is no free lunch in the world. As a wealthy businessman, they understand this truth better than anyone else.
"Request...I do have one."
After hearing this, all the wealthy businessmen calmed down and waited for his next words.
Wang Zhi glanced at the various faces for a week and said slowly: "That means you must join the Chamber of Commerce established by my Langya Wang family in order to enjoy all these benefits."
A wealthy businessman asked what this 'chamber of commerce' is?
Wang Zhi explained: "'Chamber of Commerce', as the name suggests, is a group organization formed by a group of businessmen. After joining the Chamber of Commerce, we all become a main body. Members of the Chamber of Commerce attack and defend the alliance and need to safeguard our common interests. Members of the Chamber of Commerce have priority in purchasing goods within the Chamber of Commerce." Right to enjoy the best discounts.”
"The products of the members of the chamber of commerce are produced and sold internally by our chamber of commerce without passing through the hands of outsiders. We ensure that all purchase and sales channels are smooth and there is no exploitation by middlemen."
"We will fight against anyone who dares to infringe on the interests of any member of our chamber of commerce."
"Any force that dares to interfere in the internal affairs of our chamber of commerce will be eliminated."
'Even the country! '
Of course, Wang Zhi didn't say the last sentence because he was afraid of scaring them.
A group of wealthy foreign businessmen looked at each other, digesting the rules and doctrines of this so-called 'Chamber of Commerce' and analyzing the pros and cons.
After analysis and analysis, it seems that there are no disadvantages, only advantages...
The Xixia tribes were actually a large chamber of commerce, but they did not list these regulations in detail and coordinate them, so it was very simple for them to understand Wang Zhi's words about the chamber of commerce.
"That's all?"
After thinking about it for a long time, a wealthy businessman still found it a bit incredible.
Not only is this request not excessive at all, it is also something that has been considered for them.
Is there really a free lunch in the world?
"That's it!"
"I know you still have questions, so there's no need to rush to answer me. You can go back and think about it."
"In three days, I will implement the Chamber of Commerce policy in Pingxia City, and I will buy it at three times and sell it at the same price."
"It will be implemented for ten days. After ten days, only the members of this chamber of commerce will be able to sell goods. The number of members of the chamber of commerce is tentatively set at ten tribes."
"Okay, you go back first!"
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he stood up and left without giving the wealthy businessmen a chance to react.
"Master Wang, what is the name of your chamber of commerce?"
Wang Zhi walked to the front of the curtain and paused when he heard someone asking from behind.
What is the name of the Chamber of Commerce?
"Xixia Chamber of Commerce!"
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and entered.
