Gu Yucheng came to Zhang Zhifu and smiled easily, and Zhang Zhifu smiled back. This simple action made everyone present pay special attention and pay more attention to him.
At this time, Gu Yucheng smiled and said, "Come to my place, this table is big."
Everyone came to the big table in front of Gu Yucheng. It was an extra-large round table. Even if people were separated by a slight distance, they could sit down without it appearing crowded at all.
Nan Xun, Chang Shan, Feng Yuan and others were sitting next to Gu Yucheng, Zhang Zhifu, Yuan and Li were sitting further away, and the rest of the shopkeepers were sitting opposite or diagonally across from Gu Yucheng.
After everyone sat down, Nishikori was waiting aside. Upon seeing this, Gu Yucheng told Feng Yuan, "Don't let Jinzhi stand all the time. After all, she is also a shopkeeper, let her sit down."
Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment and then explained with some embarrassment, "Although Nishikori also has a shop, after all, it is not like me and Uncle Wang De who are still doing business, barely maintaining the shop but unable to pay taxes. Nishikori, she no longer does business The business has been in business for many years.”
Gu Yucheng was stunned when he heard this, and then ordered, "There is no need for Jin Zhi to stand aside. Let Jin Zhi go find Senior Sister Xun. Senior Sister Xun is practicing in seclusion. Maybe if you have any needs, let Jin Zhi go."
Feng Yuan nodded quickly when he heard this and informed Nishikori.
No one noticed Nishikori's departure. Everyone was waiting for Gu Yucheng to speak.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gu Yucheng asked, "Did you all come here after lunch?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Gu Yucheng specially asked people to come at noon, but of course no one ate.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gu Yucheng looked at Yuan Shi'an. Yuan Shi'an quickly replied, "I didn't dare to waste Elder Gu's time. I came before noon. I think everyone is the same."
Gu Yucheng nodded and said, "That means no one ate it?"
Everyone was silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Gu Yucheng quickly sighed, "How can this be done? Come here! Serve food to all the shopkeepers!" He shouted but no one agreed.
Everyone was also a little confused.
When everyone arrived, they saw that the entire hall was empty of any decorations, and they thought that Gu Yucheng was simply going to announce something. Now that someone was suddenly serving food, it was hard to guess what Gu Yucheng wanted to do.
Feng Yuan was also confused. Gu Yucheng had specifically asked not to cook, but now where was he going to get food all of a sudden?
Although he knew that these things were not his responsibility, Feng Yuan was still a little panicked.
Gu Yucheng pretended to be anxious and shouted again, "Is there no one? Is no one serving food?"
The owners of the Yuan family and the Li family thought that today was a Hongmen banquet, but they didn't expect that it would develop into such a funny scene. Yuan Shi'an frowned, "Although this Gu Wenyue looks younger than my son, he is very scheming." But it's very deep. This time, the owner of the Li family and I both thought that Gu Wenyue would bite us off a piece of meat, but we didn't expect that Gu Wenyue would have such an attitude here. I really don't know what kind of medicine I bought in the gourd."
The owner of Li's shop looked at Gu Yucheng, and then at Nanxun, the old man beside Gu Yucheng, and he was very wary, "Gu Wenyue must have something up his sleeve, and I also found out the old man here, his name is Nanxun. Although he is injured, the fact that one person scared Baili Kuo at the Yuan family banquet is not something that we, the store owners, can face directly. We can only wait and see what happens and pursue our own interests as much as possible. "
At this moment, Zhang Jiayun became excited, "Seeing that no one is serving food, isn't this a good opportunity given to me by God?"
Zhang Jiayun hurriedly said, "Elder Gu, why don't you go to my shop, where the dishes will be ready soon! We'll be ready when we get there!" After saying that, he didn't forget to look at Feng Yuan proudly.
Although Feng Yuan didn't know what Gu Yucheng wanted to do, he felt helpless at Zhang Jiayun's mindless behavior.
Gu Yucheng glanced at Zhang Jiayun and felt a little headache. He simply chose to ignore it and sighed to himself, "It's really troublesome." After finishing speaking, he remained silent.
As soon as Gu Yucheng stopped speaking, everyone present stretched their necks and waited for Gu Yucheng to continue. Unexpectedly, Gu Yucheng stopped talking.
Everyone didn't understand the situation, and they didn't dare to talk to each other without permission - after all, they had Zhang Jiayun's experience.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one wanted to speak.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan knew that he could not let the atmosphere cool down, so he shouted at Zhang Zhifu, "I am willing to relieve Elder Gu's worries! Please also ask Elder Gu to explain the situation."
Zhang Zhifu understood and quickly agreed, "We are willing to relieve Elder Gu's worries!"
Seeing this, everyone quickly followed him and shouted, "We are willing to share Elder Gu's worries."
Gu Yucheng glanced at Feng Yuan and Zhang Zhifu with approval, then turned to look at Yuan Shi'an.
Yuan Shi'an was stared at by Gu Yucheng, and he could only say politely, "I don't know what kind of trouble Elder Gu has encountered. Although we are weak, we will never refuse what we can do."
After Yuan Shi'an finished speaking, he glanced at the Li family shop owner, who nodded slightly. Gu Yucheng understood clearly and knew that Yuan Shi'an and Li Yi, the Li family shop owner, were on the same side.
"I want to drink the sweet wine from the sweet spring, but it's very difficult to get a bite to eat at Shopkeeper Feng's place, let alone the delicacies on the jade plate." After saying this, Gu Yucheng let out a long sigh.
Yuan Shi'an knew that Gu Yucheng must have some request, but Yuan Shi'an really didn't know what Gu Yucheng wanted, so he couldn't directly ask Gu Yucheng, "Elder Gu, why don't you eat? Why don't you eat minced meat?" ?”
If you ask this question, you will only ask it if your brain is hungry.
Seeing that Gu Yucheng was still staring at him, Yuan Shi'an could only bite the bullet and asked, "I wonder how Elder Gu wants to solve it?"
Hearing this, Gu Yucheng covered his face with his hands, turned his face to Nan Xun, smiled evilly, and Nan Xun was stunned.
Gu Yucheng then covered his face and sighed, "I have been learning about Bei Shang Street in the past few days and found that not only Fengyuan's store has such a situation, but other shops also have such a situation."
As soon as Gu Yucheng finished speaking, everyone understood what Gu Yucheng wanted to do. He wanted to weaken them and increase the number of shops around Elder Gu.
That's right, after all, there were only a few who stood by Gu Yucheng's side and supported Gu Yucheng to become the master of the south.
It is not impossible for Gu Yucheng to win over these people. After all, these guys are poor and have nothing to lose, and they must be determined to win over them.
But everyone can understand, but they don’t want to.
Isn't it ridiculous to let yourself cut off your own flesh and fatten others? Who can do this?
Nan Xun looked at everyone's reactions and then took a look at Gu Yucheng's appearance sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. He knew that Gu Yucheng would not let others guess what he wanted to do so easily, so he calmed down and waited for Gu Yucheng to take action.
Gu Yucheng looked at the people who were resisting and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
Everyone immediately looked at the three shopkeepers Yuan, Li, and Zhang.
Zhang Zhifu looked at Gu Yucheng's smiling face, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should stand out or not.
Gu Yucheng didn't look at Yuan Shi'an or Li Yi, the owner of the Li family shop, this time, and he didn't even look at Zhang Zhifu.
This time Gu Yucheng looked directly at the other stores. Everyone who was still looking around immediately lowered their heads and became silent.
Gu Yucheng pointed directly at a shop owner and shouted, "What do you think, Shopkeeper Wang? Should some adjustments be made? Some shops are really in decline!"
Shopkeeper Wang who was pointed at quickly waved his hand and explained, "
Ah, this, this, I don’t know either! I am just a small shop owner and I don’t know the situation in Bei Shang Street. "
Gu Yucheng looked at Shopkeeper Wang's panic and pointed to another shopkeeper, "What do you think!"
The shop owner who was pointed out immediately panicked and said, "Me! I don't think my store is big!"
When Zhang Zhifu saw this, he knew that Gu Yucheng was testing the attitude of these shopkeepers who were in the middle.
Gu Yucheng glanced around the crowd, then smiled slowly and said, "It seems that everyone doesn't know what to do."
Everyone heard the sound and said nothing.
Gu Yucheng then looked at Yuan Shi'an and asked, "I wonder what Shopkeeper Yuan thinks?"
Yuan Shi'an took a deep breath, and in the end he could only hold back one sentence: "Such a big matter needs long-term consideration by Elder Gu. I really can't tell you what to do for a while. I really don't have a clue yet."
Yuan Shi'an's answer made everyone in the store breathe a sigh of relief, and it was considered as a shield for everyone.
Gu Yucheng was not angry at all when he saw this, and said with a smile, "This matter really needs to be discussed in the long run. In this case, everyone waits for a while. I asked Chang Shan to buy some dishes and come back to eat with everyone. After eating, everyone goes back and thinks about it later. It’s not too late to talk about it tomorrow.”
After hearing this, everyone glanced at each other and quickly said yes.
Chang Shan quickly stood up and went to buy food. Gu Yucheng quickly told everyone, "Everyone, relax and wait for a while."
At this time, Gu Yucheng deliberately waved to Feng Yuan to come over. Gu Yucheng said through a voice message, "Talk to me, pretend, and pay attention to the reactions and performances of these people."
Feng Yuan nodded quickly and started to forcefully bring up the topic.
Everyone relaxed when they saw Gu Yucheng and Feng Yuan talking. Although they did not dare to whisper to each other, they still exchanged glances.
Only three people, Yuan Shi'an, Li Yi and Zhang Zhifu, sat upright without saying a word.
After Chang Shan bought the food and put it on the table, everyone had a meal in harmony.
After eating, Gu Yucheng asked Feng Yuan to see everyone off.
Only Zhang Zhifu was given.
Nan Xun was sitting on his seat with his eyes closed as if sleeping. Gu Yucheng pulled Zhang Zhifu aside and asked, "I wonder what Shopkeeper Zhang thinks of everyone's performance today?"
Zhang Zhifu glanced at Nan Xun and remembered Nan Xun deeply in his heart. After thinking about it, he replied, "It's very messy. It's very messy. While Elder Gu was talking to Shopkeeper Feng, I took a look at everyone. They were all They looked confused, either with a troubled look on their face, or with furrowed brows and a sullen expression, and even one or two looked indignant.”
Gu Yucheng smiled and said, "Indeed, these people are looking forward to me, as well as Yuan and Li."
Zhang Zhifu nodded.
Gu Yucheng poured a bowl of tea to Zhang Zhifu, "Then you think there is such a mess, is there a source?"
Zhang Zhifu was stunned, paused for a long time, and finally said, "They don't want to suffer a loss. In other words, the source is profit!"
Gu Yucheng laughed, "That's right! Benefits! - It's not very clear now. Whether you can see clearly next depends on shopkeeper Zhang."
Zhang Zhifu stepped forward quickly, "I don't know what I should do."
Gu Yucheng then ordered, "Today, you sent people everywhere to spread rumors that Bei Shang Street already belongs to the Qian family. It is impossible not to obey Elder Gu now. They alone cannot defeat Elder Gu."
Zhang Zhifu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "If you do this, once they unite...?"
Gu Yucheng smiled, "Don't worry, just say so."
Zhang Zhifu looked at Gu Yucheng's determined look, nodded slowly, and retreated.
