Yueyuan Island.
Zhao Chamber of Commerce.
The crackling sound of fiddling with the abacus was endless, and a certain Guili uncle, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was calculating an account.
At first, because he could not repay the debt of more than 50,000 gold coins, he was forced to leave the country to escape the debt and fled to Thousand Islands.
Now, almost more than ten years have passed. Even if this debt is considered good, the interest on the debt alone will probably double or triple, reaching a terrifying amount of more than 100,000.
Zhao Jie felt very heartbroken when he thought of this number.
This is more than 100,000 gold coins, not silver coins.
The conversion rate of silver and copper is 1:10, while the conversion rate of gold and silver is 1:100!
In other words, if he wants to return to Li in a legitimate way, he must at least be able to spend more than 10 million silver coins!
Although it was an astronomical figure, Zhao Jie did not give up, but kept working hard.
I have to admit that Zhao Jie was able to break out in Guili, a place where business prosperity also meant extremely fierce competition. Although he failed in the end, there is no denying his business acumen and ability.
Therefore, after coming to Thousand Islands, even though Zhao Jie started from scratch, after more than ten years of hard work, he still achieved a small amount of success. The Zhao Chamber of Commerce that now owns several mining factories is the result of his hard work and efforts.
The income from the mining factory is not huge profit in Qiandao, but it is stable. According to Zhao Jie's initial estimate, he can save enough money to repay the debt and reunite with his wife and daughter after working for another five or six years.
As a result, things are unpredictable.
Zhao Jie had already sensed that the atmosphere in Qiandao was getting worse and worse in recent years. At this time, the right thing for a businessman to do is to get away and run away. It may be simple to say, but in practice, Zhao Jie is still reluctant to let go.
As expected, under the shady election of the witch, his own mining factory was also implicated and was innocently seized, and the entire chamber of commerce was on the verge of collapse overnight.
Recalling the predicament at that time, even Uncle Guili, who is now in front of the abacus, can't help but sigh at the magic of fate. He laments that he was right to insist on burning incense for Prince Yan every day for so many years.
It was in such a desperate situation that Zhao Jie accidentally got the news that the Astologis, which had not been moved for decades, was going to go to sea in the near future.
No matter how expensive the ticket was, Zhao Jie still felt it was magical. At that time, he seemed to be in a daze, and he had to board the ship even if he wanted to sell it. He firmly believed that this would be an opportunity and a turning point for him.
Looking back, maybe this is Lord Yan’s blessing, right?
There is no need to say more about what happened next.
Not only did he get to know Vivian, but now it seems that he is definitely a Yanyu figure with a great background. The most surprising and unexpected gain for Zhao Jie was the news about his daughter in Guili, and...it seemed that he had picked one up for nothing. A son-in-law who is so powerful that it’s a bit scary?
Why do you say that.
Back in the day, only Liao Zixuan knew about it, and in the later period, it was only a small group of them. As an ordinary person, Zhao Jie was naturally not in this group.
So from Zhao Jie's perspective, Liao Zixuan came to him once, and it was that time that Zhao Jie mistakenly regarded Liao Zixuan as the target of his daughter. Then he gritted his teeth and risked being caught for breaking the law. Lent to Liao Zixuan.
Although Zhao Jie didn't know what happened in the aftermath.
However, just a few days later, a major earthquake occurred in Qiandao Sanzong, and a bunch of officials who were corrupt and colluded with foreign forces were arrested. Both Dazun and Dingxing were replaced, and the powerful forces joined forces to continue targeting the most difficult social group.
All of the above made Zhao Jie certain that even if his daughter's mysterious target was not the man behind the scenes, he was definitely the key figure.
Good guy, at first Zhao Jie was a little bit, like all old fathers, feeling unhappy about having his cabbage eaten by a pig. But after this incident, Zhao Jie's impression of Liao Zixuan changed drastically.
What's this?
This is a country’s internal affairs!
How much energy does your daughter's partner need to have to participate in it, and even play a more important role?
This is where the pig takes over the cabbage.
This is simply like having your own cabbage inserted into a swimming dragon!
Now Zhao Jie thought carefully about Liao Zixuan's strange behavior when he talked about his daughter with him. No wonder he looked a little evasive. Every time he got to the key points, he hesitated and seemed to hesitate for a long time.
It seemed that it was not his daughter who was being chased by others as he thought, but the family that his daughter was chasing first!
Maybe they haven't pursued her yet. The two parties are in a critical period, so they don't know how to face themselves as a father.
The more he thought about it, the more he was right, and the more Zhao Jie felt that his behavior of helping Liao Zixuan was right.
After staying in Qiandao for a long time, I also learned some local culture. In Qingzhong, what do I usually call my behavior...
Oh yes!
Assist!
This is what I call assisting my daughter!
Zhao Jie slapped his thigh, and his voice frightened the other finance members in the chamber of commerce.
But seeing his boss's face glowing red and smiling silly, he must have thought of something happy, so the finance staff kept silent, lowered their heads and continued working.
Today's Zhao Chamber of Commerce has indeed miraculously come back to life. Because a group of officials have been replaced, the original sealing order is naturally invalid, and several of their mining plants can continue to operate.
Zhao Jie's original plan of not caring about anything, selling off his property and returning to Guili to reunite with his wife and children, also changed due to this.
It has to be said that this is the persistence of businessmen, or it may be the persistence of Guili people. Compared with escaping in despair, Zhao Jie certainly hopes to return home in glory.
Moreover, Qiandao is currently undergoing reforms, and the prospects currently look promising, so Zhao Jie is even more reluctant to leave. Under his several operations, Zhao's Chamber of Commerce is taking advantage of the situation to prosper.
The only regret is that the factory on Baengnyeong Island is still closed to the public because of some confidentiality involved.
Although the implementation of the survey compensated the Zhao Chamber of Commerce a lot, a whole assembly line, equipment, and workers were all idle because of this.
Now they are gathered here, and what they are doing is to find a new mineral source and buy the mining rights, so that this idle assembly line can be restored to operation as soon as possible.
But this is not easy. It requires a lot of calculations, deductions, and cost analysis to finally select the mineral source with the highest profit from the many listed alternatives.
Not only the boss, but also their finances have been working overtime all night to do this in the past few days. Unfortunately, they still haven't found a suitable mine source.
Either the benefit ratio is too low, or they are not strong enough to eat it.
When I am worried...
Suddenly a guy ran out from outside the Chamber of Commerce.
He leaned close to the boss's ear and whispered something.
"What!!"
Then a shout from Zhao Jie startled the financial staff in the accounting room, but since he was the boss, they endured it.
But then...
"Quick! Please come in quickly, no! Bah! He is at the door now, right?"
The waiter, who was a little stunned by Zhao Jie's excited look, nodded blankly and saw their boss sprinting towards the gate like a 100-meter athlete with a belly weighing dozens of kilograms.
This scene shocked everyone in the Zhao Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone can't help but feel curious and doubtful.
Who on earth...can make the boss so excited and even run to the door to greet him in person?
...
...
Under the plaque with the characters "Zhao Chamber of Commerce" hung.
A handsome young man is standing here at the moment.
From time to time, passers-by on the street would glance sideways, especially female gays. They were attracted by the faint melancholy aura emanating from the young man and couldn't help but take a second look.
"Hey..." Liao Zixuan sighed.
Yes, he is indeed very sad now.
Especially when I think about meeting Zhao Jie later, I feel a little guilty in my heart.
Maybe it was only about half a minute before the guy who informed me left.
There was a rush of footsteps rushing towards his door from the Chamber of Commerce.
Liao Zixuan couldn't help but look inside.
What caught his eye was a chubby Zhao Jie who probably weighed more than 200 kilograms, running towards him panting, and waving excitedly when he caught his eye.
Good guy!
It can be seen from Zhao Jie's fat figure that after the Qiandao reform wave initiated by Vivian, Zhao Jie must be living a good life. The performance of the chamber of commerce is at least booming, otherwise how could he become fat in the blink of an eye? so!
Being fat, Liao Zixuan felt a little more at ease. After all, the richer Zhao Jie's financial resources were, the greater his chance of succeeding in persuading Zhao Jie in the future.
finally!
"Huh... Huh... I'm sorry, I haven't exercised for a long time. Let's not mention this for now, good boy! You also know Uncle Zhao who came to see you, right! I almost thought you had taken me I forgot about it!”
Zhao Jie panted heavily, and after regaining his composure, he slapped Liao Zixuan on the shoulder with his big hand.
Although the words were a bit complaining, it could still be seen from the happy smile on the uncle's face that he was surprised and happy about Liao Zixuan's visit.
"Come on, come on, come on, no matter what happens, just go inside and say it. Let me tell you, I just bought a batch of good tea from Guili recently. When it comes to tea, we have to drink it from Guili." It tastes good, haha..."
Under Zhao Jie's kindness, Liao Zixuan was pulled in without even having a chance to speak.
The two of them chatted about their parents' quarrels, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at the reception room of the Chamber of Commerce. While Zhao Jie was making tea, Liao Zixuan finally seized the opportunity and got to the point.
"Um...Uncle Zhao, thank you for your help last time. Also, I'm really sorry. I lied to you because of confidential operations. Bai is actually just my code name. You will call me by my name from now on. Just Liao Zixuan."
"It's okay. Uncle Zhao has never seen anything like that. In fact, I have already guessed that Bai is not your name. After all, I feel a sense of intimacy when I look at you, and I feel that you must be one of us. And How could a Guili person still have such a name? Haha, the case has been solved this time, Zixuan Zixuan...good! What a good name, once you hear it, you will be like a dragon or a phoenix among people!"
Zhao Jie laughed and waved his hand, praising Liao Zixuan's name while not forgetting to make him tea.
This kind of cordial treatment was something Liao Zixuan didn't get at all last time.
It made him a little uncomfortable.
In particular, Liao Zixuan also found that the way Zhao Jie looked at him from time to time had the feeling of "the silly son of a landlord who cannot be let go", which made him even more angry.
But there was no way, it was coming, Liao Zixuan could only bite the bullet and continue.
"Uncle Zhao, I don't want to beat around the bush with you anymore. I'll just tell you the truth. This time I came to see you, Uncle Zhao. Actually, I still want... to ask you a favor."
Sure enough...
The expression on Zhao Jieming's face did not change, and he still sighed in his heart, but he soon adjusted back and patted his chest and said:
"Come on, Zixuan. We are all a family. If you have any difficulties, don't worry about it. Just ask. As long as I, Uncle Zhao, can help you, I will never spare any effort to help you!"
Seeing Zhao Jie acting as if his elders were protecting his younger ones, Liao Zixuan was a little touched in his heart, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to it. Zhao Jie took the opportunity to emphasize the small concept of "one family".
After that, Liao Zixuan packaged his recent actions on Sakuragi Island and gave them to Zhao Jie, and finally expressed the hope that Zhao Jie could open a factory on Sakuragi Island to smelt equipment.
"hiss..."
"Sakuragi Island?" After listening carefully to Liao Zixuan's words, Zhao Jie took a breath of cold air. Apparently he also knew something about Sakuragijima's vicious reputation.
Liao Zixuan had already prepared a long speech. He was prepared to spend several hours persuading this shrewd businessman Gui Li from various perspectives such as safety, cost, income, etc.
However...
What he didn't expect at all was that the uncle opposite might only think about it for a minute or two.
"OK!"
"Uncle Zhao, don't refuse in a hurry. This deal is absolutely...eh?"
Halfway through his words, Liao Zixuan looked a little embarrassed when he looked at the middle-aged man opposite who made a decision directly.
Please! For such a big thing, you should at least ask me a few more questions.
Doesn't this make me look stupid?
"Zixuan, I know you must be surprised, but there is an old saying in Guili: don't use people you doubt, and don't trust people you employ."
Although it’s not appropriate to put it here, the general meaning is still the same.
Since my daughter believes in you, and you have indeed proven your ability to me in a series of previous incidents, then no matter how unreasonable you are, let alone building a factory on Sakuragi Island, even if you say you want to open Sakuragi Island The trade route between the island and Guili is to build Sakuragi Island into the largest city in the Thousand Islands surpassing Yueyuan Island. Why don't I, Zhao Jie, dare to help you? Don’t dare to invest?
When it comes to looking at people, I, Zhao Jie, have never looked the other way!
not to mention...
"Zixuan, you don't know something. It happens that our chamber of commerce still has an assembly line that has been shut down. I am worried about where to open it. I have been hesitating about this for a long time. Now it's okay. I don't have to work so hard anymore. I have to thank you, haha. !”
"Uncle Zhao..."
"Okay Zixuan, don't say anything. Just because you are my future son-in-law, I will vote for this project no matter what!"
Seeing the young man opposite him looking moved by him, Zhao Jie was actually secretly happy in his heart.
snort.
Brat!
No matter how capable you are, you are still too old when it comes to worldliness.
Zhao Jie is indeed committed to this project, but correspondingly, Zhao Jie is also committed to your son-in-law! You've eaten my investment and still want to run away? no way!
Zhao Jie didn't care at all about building a factory on Sakuragijima.
Why.
It's not that he is so rich that he doesn't care about this loss. On the contrary, the Zhao Chamber of Commerce only has three assembly lines in total. Once Sakuragi Island is destroyed, it will be equivalent to a direct loss of one-third.
But everything is about comparison.
Zhao Jie always believes that nothing in the world can compare with his daughter's future!
In his opinion, he hoped that the factory on Sakuragi Island would pay a large sum of money, so that Liao Zixuan could owe him a favor, and he would naturally treat his daughter better.
Trading a factory for such an outstanding son-in-law is worth it, so worth it. Zhao Jie has never done such a valuable business in his life!
No one can pull this cabbage out of Youlong's head!
Regarding Liao Zixuan's identity, Zhao Jie actually has a guess, and he is very confident. After all, he is so mysterious and powerful. His status in Guili is definitely not low. He must be a member of the Five Elements, and he may be some high-level young master. .
Zhao Jie has already begun to imagine that in the future, under the introduction of Liao Zixuan, his daughter can also work in the Five Elements, which is envied by countless people, and become an official within the system.
As for which one of the five elements to go to, there is no need to ask. It must be the legendary "Kilin Pavilion" with the reputation of "the brain of departure"! This is also a place that countless businessmen dream of going to.
Zhao Jie doesn't expect his daughter to climb to a high position. She just wants to be a minor official or secretary. Then she will definitely be proud of her ancestors!
If the time comes, my daughter can be allowed to reveal a little more information about the master of the Qilin Pavilion, grasp the direction of Guili's administration in advance, and help his father do business...
hey-hey!
Hey hey hey!
