Liu Zheng looked calm, with no fear on his face.
If it was just a mosquito buzzing, he would just ignore it.
If you want to take action, who will still coddle you?
How could Guo Yu endure such humiliation? The other party was still a fallen young man, and he immediately said angrily: "Fuck me!"
"Be bold!"
However, at this moment, a group of people walked in from outside the door again. When everyone heard the sound and looked around, it turned out that the person who came was none other than the third leader of the Baiya Army, Du Biao! Surrounded by several burly men, Du Biaolong walked like a tiger with extraordinary momentum. He glared at Guo Yu with his hawk-like eyes: "Who is a arrogant person? He humiliates people in public. Do you have the final say in this business?"
"I, I, I..."
Guo Yu was startled.
This Du Biao was not angry, let alone an angry face, which was simply murderous. No one dared to look at him. He was a prodigal son, and he couldn't stand such a glare.
Du Biao turned to look at Liu Zheng, with a smile on his face, and laughed loudly: "Young Master Liu, you have extraordinary bearing. I have admired you for a long time!"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart. If possible, he really didn't want someone like you to look up to him for a long time, but he could only clasp his fists and smile: "The third leader of the family, who is arrogant among the others, is the one who makes the younger ones feel like thunder."
Du Biao actually came over, held up Liu Zheng's arms, and said affectionately: "Young master Liu, what you said is wrong, your ambition does not depend on your age. When I was your age, I was still the same as this group of drunkards and ricebags!"
These words made Guo Yu and others' expressions change instantly, but they didn't dare to fart. Now, they became the focus of ridicule. There is no way, this is Du Biao. Although he is a "merchant", he represents a force comparable to Liangzhou Prefecture. If you dare to mess with him, don’t you want to live?
Everyone was also surprised.
Du Biao didn't dare to ask why he was so fond of Mr. Liu.
"This is Miss Zheng, she is as beautiful as a fairy, a beauty from the north! What are you waiting for? Get me a seat quickly!"
After Du Biao greeted Zheng Yueru, he shouted.
One sentence showed Du Biao's status in the entire Liangzhou. How could a mere trading house dare to disobey him? They quickly moved a few seats, and Du Biao directly pulled Liu Zheng to sit in the middle. He was in the upper position!
Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru looked at each other, complaining in their hearts.
This Du Biao has a great reputation, he is domineering and bold, and he is well-rounded. He is specially responsible for the commercial affairs of Baiya Army. He can do such a big business in Liangzhou, and he is also a first-class talent. This person did things without any pretense. After Liu Zheng sat down, he started chatting with him without any hypocrisy or look down on others.
This made Liu Zheng even more vigilant.
During the conversation, Du Biao occasionally mentioned Yinzhou fine wine and business matters, but he only scratched the surface and did not go into details. This made Liu Zheng even more exhausted. Only then did he realize that there was still a long way to go between himself and such a true overlord.
"Haha, I am very interested in Brother Liu's Fengming Lou! Come to my Lanxiang class another day!"
After chatting for a while, Du Biao became like brothers.
Liu Zheng quickly said yes.
"Everyone, everyone, be quiet!"
At this moment, the manager of the trading company came out.
"I'm calling you here this time. The specific details are already clear to everyone. This year, I, the Queen of the Longyang Dynasty, will come back to visit her relatives during the Lantern Festival!" The manager looked excited: "This is a big event, and it's me. The glory of Liangzhou! It’s the time of the Oiran Festival and the Lantern Festival..."
Du Biao sneered and said, "Old Li, if you have anything to say, say it quickly. Just tell me how much money you need!"
Everyone laughed and agreed.
Manager Li smiled brightly and said: "The queen's ceremonial standards are naturally unusual. The merchant's bank estimates that she is still short of 50,000 taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place erupted with cries.
"Fifty thousand taels?"
"so much?"
"Yes, each of our families had given out one thousand taels before. Is this another one thousand taels?"
Du Biao also sneered: "Mr. Li, it's not that I, Du Biao, have any objections, nor is it that my Lanxiang Class can't afford the money. But it makes sense. The Liangzhou Prefecture is responsible for the queen's visit to the bride and the ceremony and reception. Right? What’s going on, it’s all equally divided between us?”
"yes!"
"This is not authentic!"
Everyone also expressed their dissatisfaction.
Manager Li coughed: "Quiet, everyone, everyone, as we all know, the Huns are in rebellion this year, and the Liangzhou government's finances are in poor condition. It is everyone's responsibility to resist foreign enemies, so..."
Du Biao shouted: "It is good to resist foreign enemies, but if it is not good, how bad is it? If it is not good, we should be like the Yinzhou Prefecture and announce its income and expenditure, and then we will believe it! How much will my Lanxiang class get at that time? , take as much as you want!”
When everyone heard it, it was indeed true.
If you say it's not good, then you have to torment these businessmen? So how is it so bad? Yinzhou Prefecture currently announces its revenue and expenditure. In this case, if you say it is not good, on the one hand, doesn't it mean that Liangzhou Prefecture's revenue-generating and management capabilities are insufficient? On the other hand, what are the reasons for poor performance? You keep the accounts hidden, and with just one word of "not good", you will allocate all the fifty thousand taels of silver. Is Chen Ping really a good at slaughtering fat sheep?
Liu Zheng was shocked when he heard this.
Du Biao appeared today, and his words were rhythmic, criticizing Liangzhou Prefecture, and arousing the emotions of the entire audience.
It seems that everything is getting closer and closer to Jiang Xuan's guess.
Manager Li was so anxious that he was sweating: "Third leader, this, this, this..."
Du Biao snorted coldly and stopped looking at him.
If Du Biao doesn't speak, how can anyone else dare to agree? Although 50,000 taels are divided evenly, it only amounts to 1,000 taels for a family, but you have to have a reason, right? The annual oiran party is a tradition in the flower house industry, but there are very few people who can actually make a profit from it, and most of them just join in the fun. One thousand taels to join in the fun, isn’t it enough? With two thousand taels this year, who can be convinced?
Zheng Yueru looked at Liu Zheng and shook her head gently. She thought that ten thousand taels of silver would be enough, but she didn't expect that it would cost fifty thousand taels. If, as Liu Zheng said, he really wants to "sponsor", then Fengming Tower will really lose a lot!
Liu Zheng was actually very hesitant.
Of course, it was not because there was too much money that he hesitated, but because Du Biao was here at this time, he was very hesitant about his decision.
I originally thought that the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce would not attract the attention of such a behemoth for the time being, and it would not matter what Liu Zheng did at that time. But Du Biao's attitude today is obviously different. Liu Zheng was wondering, if he sponsored a high-profile sponsorship, would he be put in danger?
but……
This hesitation only lasted a few moments. Now that I have come to Liangzhou, I must overcome any hurdle.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and stood up.
This time, everyone in the city looked at him.
Du Biao asked: "Brother Liu, what is this?"
Manager Li also looked strange.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Manager Li, Fengming Tower, is willing to provide 50,000 taels of silver to prepare the ceremony together with the merchant bank!"
"What?"
The whole audience was shocked.
However, it's not over yet.
Liu Zheng continued: "Fengming Tower is willing to provide various fine wines such as "Drunken Yinzhou" for the Oiran Association to drink freely throughout the city!"
boom!
Manager Li was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
Du Biao was also stunned and rubbed his eyes hard.
"Fengming Tower will provide various costumes for the participants and the oirans!"
"Fengming Tower will also provide large-scale daily necessities!"
"Fengming Tower will provide carriages for transportation..."
"Fengming Tower will provide tableware for the Oiran Club..."
"Fengming Tower..."
If there is one in the audience, it counts as one.
Everyone was stunned.
What the hell is this?
Others can't hide from you, but you are happy to do so?
According to what Liu Zheng said, even fifty thousand taels of silver can't do anything, even one hundred thousand taels is not enough!
are you crazy?
Are you a money-splitting boy?
Could it be that the number one dude in Liangzhou is back again?
Du Biao had a strange thought in his heart. Could it be that Mr. Liu was a great talent when he arrived in Yinzhou, but when he returned to Liangzhou, he was the most prodigal son? Is this a big impact on the environment?
Zheng Yueru was extremely anxious.
Is this how you do business? But for a long time, she had been accustomed to trusting Liu Zheng. At this time, she could not refute in public and could only endure it.
"how?"
Liu Zheng asked with a smile.
Only then did Manager Li react and slapped his thigh: "Oh, oh, oh, that's great! Mr. Liu is so kind! Sign the contract right away, right now!"
The whole place roared.
Guo Yu laughed even more. He ignored Du Biao next to him, pointed at Liu Zheng, and said with a mocking smile: "Master Liu, are you showing your true colors again?"
"Hahaha! This is one hundred thousand taels!"
"As expected, this boy has some money in his hands, so he can't help but be excited... Yes, he does have the style of Mr. Liu back then!"
All kinds of ridicule came and went.
Du Biao also looked at Liu Zheng blankly, a little confused as to what this kid wanted to do. Did you come back to find a sense of presence? Are you here to respond to those humiliations? But that’s not how it’s played! Wouldn't you use one hundred thousand silver to recruit 20,000 soldiers?
Could it be that I think too highly of the Liu family and his son?
"Okay, okay, everyone, please come back, please come back!"
Manager Li didn't care what others thought. As long as he solved the matter, he would have done a great job. He quickly took Liu Zheng to the study to sign the contract.
"Master Liu, please take a look. Is it possible?"
He looked at Liu Zheng eagerly.
Liu Zheng looked at the drafted contract and nodded with a smile: "It suits me very well! The banknotes are all here. As for the other items, I will transport them one by one and prepare them all!"
Zheng Yueru wanted to slap Liu Zheng awake, but the latter had already signed the contract and threw out the fifty thousand silver note with a wave of his hand.
Manager Li was very happy as if he was in a dream.
On the way back, Zheng Yueru wanted to ask several times.
Liu Zheng knew what she was thinking, and he laughed and said: "I don't have much time, so I can't explain it to you. How is the inventory of Liangzhou's fine wines?"
Zheng Yueru snorted coldly: "I can't stand your trouble!"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Immediately fly a pigeon to send a letter to Yinzhou, and work hard to transport all kinds of fine wines to Liangzhou!"
"Brother Liu!~"
Zheng Yueru was anxious.
Then Liu Zheng continued: "Remember, the mark on the wine bottle cannot be changed at will!"
"mark?"
Liu Zheng said: "Yes, that is the trademark of our Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce. No matter what products we produce in the future, the trademark must be there! Remember, this is called branding!"
Zheng Yueru was confused when she heard this.
"Each flower shop can provide some soap. Remember, it's still a trademark!"
"Immediately contact a clothing workshop and rush to make uniforms for the staff overnight, with our trademark on the back!"
"The oirans from Fengming Tower reported their measurements to me overnight! I will personally design their costumes for the competition!"
"Find the printing workshop immediately and print the trademark stickers!"
"I want the tables, chairs, car wheels, plates and cups at the oiran party to all have my Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce's trademark visible on them!"
"In short, it cost one hundred thousand taels of silver..."
"I want to be all-inclusive, and everything will be the trademark of the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce! Do you understand?"
Zheng Yueru was stunned on the spot.
She struggled in her head.
Imagine the scene of this year's oiran party.
Sudden.
An idea flashed in her mind.

Pervasive advertising!
