Silence, absolute silence.
After Gu Beichuan uttered the word "good", the small pavilion fell into absolute silence.
Pei refused to let his mouth go dry, and Mr. Xiang remained silent, but his shrinking pupils betrayed him, indicating that at this moment, his heart was not as peaceful as it seemed.
One million taels, what is the concept?
You know, an ordinary family of three only spends about two taels of silver per month.
One million taels is enough to support 1.5 million people for a month!
The army may spend more, but it is almost enough to feed an army of one million people for one month.
This number, and the word Gu Beichuan spit out, both made his mouth go dry and his heart beat faster.
After a long time, it was Mr. Xiang who broke the silence.
"How much money can your Feihong earn in a month?"
Gu Beichuan shook his head and said, "I haven't calculated it yet, and I don't know either."
"But, one million taels will be given to you in installments. Even Feihong cannot come up with such a large amount of liquidity in the short term."
Hearing this, Pei Burang felt a little normal.
It's not that he hasn't seen merchants across the two counties, on the contrary, he has seen many.
But there are very few people with profits as high as Gu Beichuan's, if not none!
One can imagine how amazing Feihong’s earning power is.
"Since you are so good at doing business, why don't you do it all?"
"After all, that's the center of the country, and the economy and people's livelihood are infinitely better than Huainan."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan smiled bitterly and said, "There are many rich people in Qiandu, and I also want to cut their leeks. Unfortunately, the water in Qiandu is also deep."
"I have no power and no power. If I don't take care of things clearly, I will be used as food for other merchants to grow."
What Gu Beichuan said was that there was no problem with his products, but his work was in deep water. If he wanted to do a good business, it was not just about good products.
How dare he... say this?
Qiandu is under the emperor's feet, and the laws are strict.
What's more, Mr. Xiang is sitting here now.
Pei Burang frowned slightly, as if he was mourning for him.
Who would have thought that Mr. Xiang Da just smiled and didn't take it seriously, saying: "In my opinion, Feihong has unlimited potential. This one million taels is not enough."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan frowned even more tightly, and there was even obvious anger on his face.
He was not afraid of the other side talking loudly. After all, he was true to his word. If he kept this matter to himself, one million taels would be considered money well spent.
The biggest fear is that such greedy people cannot feed the wild wolves who only want meat, no matter how much money they have.
"Then how much silver do you want?"
"You won't give me any amount of money you want. You are trying your best to kill me, right?"
When Gu Beichuan heard this, the anger on his face disappeared and became expressionless again. He was restraining his emotions.
Because the person in front of me is very capable of observing words and expressions and penetrating people's hearts.
"If you were an ordinary nobleman, I'm afraid you could really succeed. It's a pity that I'm not allowed to protect you. Even if the sky falls, it won't hurt me at all."
Behind him, Pei Burang heard the words and straightened his body by another three points. The momentum around him was like an abyss or a prison.
Gan!
This old rogue has both an identity and a bodyguard, so why is he so difficult to deal with?
It was the first time that Gu Beichuan felt such a difficulty, but on the surface it didn't show up at all. He said coldly: "In this case, I don't plan to pay even a single copper."
"If you can create another Feihong, just go for it."
"I will fight with you and compete on the same stage."
"I also wish you to win over the Qiandu market as soon as possible. I will excuse myself and take my leave, Gu."
After saying these words, Gu Beichuan turned and walked towards the nearest Feihong Medical Clinic.
However, before he had even taken two steps, he heard Mr. Xiang's still calm voice coming from behind him.
"return."
Gu Beichuan said nothing and continued to move forward.
"I'm not interested in doing business."
Gu Beichuan sneered and kept moving forward.
"But your business is indeed quite interesting."
Gu Beichuan almost walked out of Mr. Xiang's sight.
"Okay, I don't need your money, but I also want to take a share."
Gu Beichuan felt that he was locked by the majestic energy and stopped immediately.
He made the right bet, the other party didn't want to kill him!
Otherwise, if it had come to this point, why would the black-armored guards only be intimidating instead of killing?
In this case, there is the possibility of continuing the conversation.
"Okay, but I have to know who you are."
"Marquis Zhengyang, Lu Xu."
At the same time, Zhengyang Marquis Lu Xu, who was far away in Qiandu, sneezed suddenly and was suddenly surprised.
I thought that in this warm spring season, I have a strong body. How can a good person sneeze? Could it be that some bastard is secretly slandering me?
Okay, but don’t let me catch you, otherwise I will make you look good!
…
Upon hearing the words "Zhengyang Hou", Gu Beichuan suddenly showed a look of understanding.
It turned out to be him, one of the leading figures who led the counter-rebellion thirty years ago. He can be regarded as an outstanding general, but unfortunately, the King of Zhenbei shines too brightly, covering up the charm of most generals.
Of course, except for Huo Kuanglan, who was as bright as the sun and illuminated the entire Daqian.
It's a pity that this scorching sun only existed for a short time and eventually turned into a meteor, bringing only short-term hope to the people of Daqian.
Seeing Gu Beichuan's expression, Mr. Xiang laughed and said, "Why, have you ever heard of my name?"
"Of course, I heard back then that although Marquis Zhengyang was not as dazzling as King Zhenbei, he was still a hero. But now it seems... that he is an old rogue who only makes things difficult for his juniors."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiang nodded in agreement as if the words were not about him, and said: "He is indeed an old rogue."
Seeing how shameless the other party was, Gu Beichuan was speechless, so he could only give up the sarcasm and continue to discuss business matters.
"Even if you are the Marquis of Zhengyang, if Boss Lu wants to invest, he must have something he can offer."
"How about I pay, three hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Seeing Gu Beichuan shaking his head, Master Xiang frowned. Considering his true identity, three hundred thousand taels is indeed a bit shabby. After all, a businessman talks about one million taels.
However, in recent years, as the Northern Expedition was approaching, military supplies were the top priority, and the rest of the court's expenditures had to be reduced. It was not easy to come up with three hundred thousand taels.
"Three hundred thousand taels is quite a lot." Pei Burang said with a cold face on behalf of his master.
But Gu Beichuan still just shook his head: "Three hundred thousand taels is naturally a lot for other merchants. But Gu is different. What Feihong lacks is not money, but other things."
"Young man, if you like something in me, you might as well tell me."
"Quickly, I want the reputation of the Marquis in Qiandu!"
"What do you mean by this?"
"In short, whenever Feihong goes to Qiandu in the future, all business will be done in the name of the Marquis. If anything happens, the Marquis will be responsible for settling it."
"In this case, the Marquis doesn't have to pay out the three hundred thousand taels of silver, but it can still be regarded as a shareholding. How about that?"
