Chapter 723 I Want to Open a Store
After receiving Lai Letian's invitation, Guan Lianshan ordered someone to take him to a side hall. This was not because of lack of etiquette, but because the businessman's status was not high in the first place.
In order to prevent the other party from having other ideas, Guan Yunyao took the lead to greet him in the courtyard and said with a smile: "This must be President Lai of the Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce. I have met your leader once, so I came here to greet you."
Lai Letian said gently and gracefully: "Young Master Guan is too polite. I heard the leader mentioned that you are indeed a very talented person. In this world of scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants, how dare I trouble the young master to personally greet you."
Guan Yunyao laughed loudly and said: "That is just a decadent view of Confucianism. How can I take it to heart? Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce will definitely replace Wanbao Pavilion as the largest merchant in the mainland in the future. This can be regarded as an early investment by me." ."
The two people's words were in perfect harmony with each other, and they were extremely complimentary to each other. They quickly came to the side hall, where Guan Lianshan was already sitting and waiting.
Lai Letian stepped forward and bowed and said: "Lai Letian, the president of the Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce, has met with the city owner. We want to open a shop here, and we hope that you will give us your permission!"
Guan Lianshan said with a smile: "Of course I want this to increase the prosperity of our Red Sun City, but I believe the president also discovered when he entered the city that the current situation is not very good.
The two legions led by the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince of the Sea Tribe have been moving in unknown directions recently and have been disappearing and reappearing near our Red Sun City. I am afraid it would be inappropriate to open a shop in our Red Sun City at this time. "
Tang Ming, the first counselor beside him, also smiled and said: "Even Wanbao Pavilion has temporarily closed the shops here and evacuated all the goods to the next level city."
Lai Letian said with a smile: "I think this is our business opportunity. Since Wanbao Pavilion has withdrawn, there is no need to come back. Our Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce can just take their place.
And we have this confidence, let alone whether the Sea Clan will attack, even if they do attack, you can definitely defend it.
Moreover, our leader and his wife will arrive soon, and I believe that we will do our best when the time comes. If we can't hold on, it's just a shop, and we can't afford to lose it. "
Guan Lianshan laughed loudly and said: "President Lai is indeed a hero, and there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Mingjiao. Just because of your magnanimity, as long as our Guan family is still in Hongri City, your Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce will be the largest here." The only shop. I don’t know when the leader and his wife will arrive in our Red Sun City. I might as well take someone with me and go out of the city to meet them."
Lai Letian had already used the sound transmission stone to communicate with Zhao Yiming and the others, and then said: "Our leader and his wife will set up camp 50 miles outside the city tonight and arrive at Red Sun City early tomorrow morning."
Guan Lianshan thought for a moment and said, "Yunyao, you are leading five hundred light cavalry to greet Leader Zhao and his wife on behalf of me."
When Lai Letian heard this, he felt happy at first and then worried. I'm happy that the specifications are very high, but I'm worried that the situation seems to be worse than imagined.
He then said with a smile: "Since your Excellency has agreed, then I will look for a place in the city and open this shop first. At the same time, I am looking for a house so that our leader and his wife can have a place to stay." land."
Tang Ming said with a smile: "Since Wanbao Pavilion has decided to withdraw, we can take back the house. Why don't you just rename their store and reopen it."
Lai Letian shook his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your kindness. However, unlike Wanbao Pavilion, the leader does not like courtyards. He hopes it will be a high-end and elegant building."
Guan Yunyao immediately said: "I have a restaurant in the north of the city that I usually open for fun. It is now closed. It definitely meets Chairman Lai's requirements.
In addition, I also have a mansion not far from the restaurant, which is completely built according to the pattern of Suzhou gardens. Why don't I give these two places to you. "
Lai Letian smiled slightly and said: "Then on behalf of our leader, I would like to thank Mr. Guan for his kindness. This friend has the righteousness to make money, so I will not refuse."
He and Guan Yunyao then got up and left the hall. They went to see these two places first, bought some servants to settle down, and then ordered all the soldiers to pick up the people.
After the two of them left, Tang Ming said thoughtfully: "It seems that Zhao Yiming is really a proud and arrogant person. He wants to confront Wanbao Pavilion and defeat his opponent head-on.
Li Liming was shrewd in his life, but this time he made a stupid move. This Zhao Yiming was definitely not a thing in the pool, so how could he like him, a mere Wanbao Pavilion.
We have received a strong support this time. Judging from his record, he can definitely be ranked in the top three, not to mention being invincible at the same level.
According to the rules of the mainland, saint-level powerhouses cannot directly participate in the war. This is very beneficial news to us. At least for the senior leaders of the Sea Tribe, we don’t have to take it to heart. "
Guan Lianshan's eyes brightened and he said: "What I care more about are his machines. I believe you have seen the power of the machine ships. In the past, we only dared to hold on to the Sea Clan.
Since the batch of machine ships equipped, my combat power has been greatly improved, and I didn't suffer much in several naval battles. It's a pity that the machine masters didn't live up to their expectations and there was no way to further improve the machine ships. "
Tang Ming sighed softly and said: "There is no way around this. The most famous mechanical masters on the entire continent, except for the two old guys who are living in seclusion, are all in their Ming City. I hope they can get rid of him this time." Here, I got some new drawings."
Liu Ding, the shopkeeper of Wanbao Pavilion in Hongsun City, also received the news at this time and learned about the Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce's settlement. He nodded indifferently, feeling that the other party just wanted to take advantage.
He said with a smile: "The eldest lady is really in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Now the Red Sun City is covered with war clouds and major merchants have evacuated. If they enter at this time, this speculation will eventually fail."
But his accountant Huang Kai shook his head and said: "The shopkeeper and I have exactly the opposite idea. This is the result of the eldest lady's courage, and I believe that she and her uncle are definitely on their way here.
I am a native of Hongsun City. It is impossible for me to escape here with the shopkeeper when my hometown is in danger. I hereby apologize to you for my resignation and say that I will coexist with Hongsun City. "
Liu Ding sighed softly and said: "I know you are still blaming me in your heart, and there is nothing you can do about it. I think you can seek refuge with the eldest lady, but after all, you also need a local."
Huang Kai nodded seriously, then turned and walked out. Li Wenwen won another bet, and she won the hearts of the people.
