In the private room of Wanyue Building.
Yin Tianen, the shopkeeper of Baozhai Pavilion, opened the door and came in.
Cao An stood up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yin is a rare guest. Sit down quickly, sit down quickly! Come here, give shopkeeper Yin some refreshments. I want the best!"
It's never wrong to laugh when you meet someone.
Yin Tianen is in his thirties and looks very shrewd.
He was also full of smiles, took the initiative to hold Cao An's wrist, and complimented: "Master Cao... No, now I want to call you Cao Langjun! Fifteen-year-old Si Jian, a close official of the official family... you can It really sets a precedent for our Bianliang business community!"
The Song Dynasty did not discriminate against businessmen.
But there is still a huge gap between businessmen and officials.
In the past, no one cared whether they liked Cao An or not, but they were not afraid of him. At worst, we all did our own thing and just lived in peace...
But things are different now.
Cao An has become an official, and it is a position with a bright future!
If he can distance himself from those scoundrels in the future and stop breaking people's limbs at every turn, he will be a proper and important minister.
So Yin Tianen didn't dare not smile.
Everyone’s status is different, so you have to have the consciousness to bow your head.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Yin is so impressed."
Cao An, however, did not put on airs, but instead became more cordial: "This admonisher, to put it bluntly, is just a small reminder to run errands for the officials. It doesn't count."
Are you saying that you are going to start pretending?
Yin Tianchou felt that Cao An was not only violent, but also too slippery...
The two sat down, and the small table was filled with various refreshments.
"Cao Langjun..."
After chatting for a while, Yin Tianen got to the point: "I heard before that you have started a loan business now? To be honest, I recently received a batch of new goods, so I have this on hand..."
The Yin family has been in the gold, silver and jewelry business for generations and is considered a well-known wealthy businessman in Bianliang.
Will he have no money?
But business people like to take other people’s money and do their own thing.
It is best to make profits without spending any money. This is a qualified businessman.
"Shopkeeper Cao understands what Mr. Yin means..."
Cao An said with a smile: "The purpose of our Cao Chamber of Commerce is to serve all types of merchants and develop together... If you need anything, just ask."
"Someone wants to borrow some money."
"Can!"
"Twenty thousand..."
This is not a small number. Ordinary businessmen may not earn so much money in their lifetime.
But Cao An still nodded readily: "No problem, borrow for a year or for one month? I will let the accountant prepare it now, it will only take one day at most!"
Sure enough, rich people are confident!
It is rumored that Cao An spent three thousand guan to buy a beautiful woman's smile.
He also gave Lu Yijian a sense of presence...
Will such a person have no money?
"certain……"
Yin Tianen became more enthusiastic and said with a smile: "I heard that the Cao Chamber of Commerce originally planned to recruit merchants from the outer city to join the association... I wonder if our merchants in the inner city have a chance?"
It's not a secret.
It's just that Cao An was soft-spoken at first, so he was despised by everyone.
Nowadays, the merchants from the outer city want to get in, and they have their heads smashed, using various connections...
It's a pity that Cao An is no longer the Wuxia Amen he was before!
"Join the club."
Hearing this, Cao An hesitated: "It's not a difficult matter, but now that a certain person has become an official, the management of the chamber of commerce has become lax. If we recruit new merchants, the management will probably be..."
They are all just talking about chatting, can Yin Tianen understand the meaning of this?
He immediately expressed his stance and said: "A certain person is willing to pay the dues!"
What to say about joining the Chamber of Commerce...
Isn't it just for the two-cent loan interest from the internal merchant?
Cao Anxin was as clear as a mirror. After pretending to think for a moment, he smiled and said, "How about this, let's ask the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce to come over and let's have a good talk?"
…
Li Yougui came quickly.
He just looked at Arhat in confusion: "When did so and so become the vice-president? No one informed us about this in advance!"
"Shopkeeper Li, Mr. Lang just wants you to come and smooth things over."
Luo Han repeated what Cao An told him exactly, and said with a smile: "The opportunity is right in front of you. Whether you can securely serve as the 'Vice President' depends on your ability!"
"Haha, who else is this?"
Li Yougui laughed and said: "I have wanted to do something in the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, but I just can't open my mouth to Cao Langjun! This time, just do it right!"
Once inside.
Li Yougui immediately greeted you with a smile: "Haha, shopkeeper Yin is here. If you don't take good care of me, why should I look at Haihan! You are a noble son of Fan Lou's business community. It is a great honor for Li to meet you!"
Cao Anxin smiled.
Look, someone is more pretentious than me!
"Where, where!"
Yin Tianen did not dare to make excuses, but also smiled and complimented: "Who doesn't know that your shopkeeper Li is making a lot of money every day? The annual dividends from Wanyue Tower alone are more than half of the merchants in Fan Tower combined! You He is a genius in the business world!”
This is no joke.
Li Yougui has grown from a second-rate brothel owner to the most profitable upstart in the brothel industry today. Who dares not to take him seriously?
Don’t say who they rely on or who they rely on to get up.
Just tell me, in the current Bianliang business community, who doesn’t know the name Li Yougui?
The net profit of tens of thousands of dollars every year is probably not comparable to Wanhua Tower, right?
Li Yougui smiled and said reservedly: "Haha, this is all thanks to the kindness of Cao Sijian. Otherwise...how could I sit at the same table with Shopkeeper Yin to have a drink?"
"Lao Li, stop talking nonsense!"
Hearing this, Cao An pretended to be angry and laughed and cursed: "I'm the one who became this admonisher. Don't look back and you are fooling around outside and ruining someone's business again!"
"No way."
Li Yougui also smiled and said: "Whoever dares to ruin your Cao Sijian's affairs will be ruining someone's business! ... You can't kill him if you turn around!"
As he said that, he glanced at Yin Tianen vaguely.
Is this threatening someone?
The latter's face turned cold and then recovered quickly.
However, it can also be seen from this that the relationship between Li Yougui and Cao An is really good, otherwise Cao An would not be so polite to a small shareholder.
In the final analysis, Cao An is the soul, and Li Yougui is just the side dish.
"Old Li."
Cao An didn't like this kind of false politeness, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yin wants to join our Cao Chamber of Commerce. Now that I am not aware of the details of the chamber of commerce, it is up to you to talk to Shopkeeper Yin."
"Join the Chamber of Commerce?"
Li Yougui frowned at first, then said vaguely: "Normally, with your status as Shopkeeper Yin, it will be no problem to join the association..."
There are definitely buts!
Yin Tianen sneered inwardly and couldn't help but become serious.
This is a standard business negotiation, and anyone who dares to be sloppy may suffer losses!
"only……"
Li Yougui shook his head in confusion: "A few days ago, I also talked with several merchants in the outer city. The membership fees they offered were too high. I am worried that Shopkeeper Yin will think that I am raising prices on the ground."
two months ago…
It only costs 500 coins to join the Cao Chamber of Commerce!
But now that the old hen has turned into a phoenix, it is definitely not something that can be done with just a few hundred coins.
Yin Tianchou was already prepared and said with a smile: "Money is not an issue, I just came here to make friends with you and Cao Langjun, so I won't be vague!"
