Chapter 4026 Private Inquiry

When everyone heard this, they all smiled knowingly. The so-called anti-flood alliance was formed by the union of five large chambers of commerce in the Merchant Alliance. Each of them was a behemoth ranked in the top ten, especially Shopkeeper Hao and the one behind the yellow-haired man. The Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful.

The wealthy city behind Shopkeeper Hao ranks third in the merchant association. The yellow-haired man is named Wang Tong. Behind him is Wantong Event, which ranks fourth in the merchant association. Together with the other three powerful chambers of commerce ranked in the top ten, it is so luxurious. The lineup suddenly went into trouble, and even the Hong Chamber of Commerce, which ranked second in the merchant alliance, couldn't bear it.

As for the number one ranking, it is Zhongdao's Five Elements Pharmacy, which is a subsidiary chamber of commerce of Zhongdao Dantang. It was founded by the Dan God Zhang Liju, so naturally no one dares to take his idea.

This Four Islands Auction Expo is just the first battle for the Anti-Flood Alliance, and there will be a series of follow-up actions with only one purpose: to carve up and devour the Hong Chamber of Commerce, the behemoth that stands in front of them.

Seeing that everyone did not take it seriously, Shopkeeper Hao carefully reminded: "Everyone, this is the first battle of our anti-flood alliance, and it is also a crucial battle. The senior officials behind each company are watching this matter, success or failure. It is related to your great future, and there is no room for any mistakes. Now, although Hong Zhong has become a turtle in the urn, I think it is better to be careful and be careful of capsizing in the gutter!"

"Yes, what Shopkeeper Hao said makes sense. Hong Zhong has been in Beidao for decades and has seen a lot of storms, big and small. Maybe there are some unknown emergency measures that are hard to guard against. A slight negligence may lead to disaster. You will fall short of success, Mr. Wang, shopkeeper, be careful and you will not make any big mistakes." Everyone agreed.

Wang Tong's identity was the young master of the Wantong Festival. He was already very satisfied, but after listening to the words of Shopkeeper Hao and others, he suddenly frowned.

"It is said that the bolder you get, the less courageous you are. This is true. I have long expected that old man Hong Zhong to be helpless. But since you insist on being careful, let you go. But I am tired of asking, he We have already fallen to this point, what precautions are you planning to take?" Wang Tong asked with squinting eyes.

Shopkeeper Hao smiled solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I have a way to ensure that everything is foolproof, but I need to trouble Butler Song to come forward in this matter."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Do you need Song to come forward? What can you do to take care of me?"

Seeing Butler Song walk through the door as if there was no one around, everyone present stood up to greet him. In this far north island, Butler Song is the sole agent for all matters, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the master of this place.

Shopkeeper Hao cupped his hands and smiled and said: "People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. Naturally, things like us can't be hidden from Butler Song. I will tell you directly this time. If nothing else happens, it is very likely that the Hong Chamber of Commerce will talk to you today." We are trying to find a way to transport a batch of supplies for emergency use at tomorrow's auction. This is a rare opportunity to kill the Hong Chamber of Commerce. We will never allow him to escape death, so we would like to ask Butler Song for a small favor."

"You want me to stop them halfway?" Butler Song glanced at everyone with a half-smile and said meaningfully.

"Yes, in this far north island, the only ones who have the strength and the courage to do this are your Zhenbei Guards. Intercepting a handful of people is just a piece of cake for you. We are willing to spend What do you think of ten thousand spirit jade as a reward for your hard work?" Shopkeeper Hao suggested with a respectful expression.

"Ten thousand spirit jade?" Butler Song raised his eyebrows and grinned: "Shop Manager Hao, even you have said it yourself, I am the only one in the Far North Island who has such strength and courage. As long as you take action, it means following The Hong Chamber of Commerce has turned against itself. In your eyes, Song is already so stupid that he openly offends the Hong Chamber of Commerce for a mere piece of spiritual jade?"

Shopkeeper Hao was not in a hurry and talked calmly: "Steward Song, there is no need to worry. With our anti-flood alliance here, the Hong Chamber of Commerce will soon cease to exist. Besides, even if they know it is you, The Zhenbei Guards under your command are trying to move their hands. Their number one enemy is us. How come they can’t spare their energy to deal with you, who is so high up in the mountain and so far away from the emperor? What’s more, you don’t need to waste your manpower this time. You just want to give an order. Go down and let the Zhenbei Guards who are on regular patrol earn some extra money. You can easily get 10,000 spiritual jade, why not?"

Butler Song couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "As expected of a seasoned businessman, what Shopkeeper Hao said makes sense, but you seem to have forgotten one thing. Song and Shopkeeper Hong Zhonghong have been friends for decades. , not to mention brotherhood, at least they are old friends, so..."

Everyone's hearts trembled: "So?"

Butler Song smiled slightly: "So if we want to make things worse for our old friends, don't you think we need to add more spiritual jade?"

"Uh...it turns out to be this." After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity. Because he was attacking an old friend, not only did he have to take the job, but he also had to pay more. Butler Song's logic was really invincible.

"Easy to say, fifteen thousand spiritual jade, steward Song should be satisfied, right?" Shopkeeper Hao reacted and said quickly, the five merchant alliances are among the top ten major chambers of commerce, and this spiritual jade is of no concern to them. Next words.

"Then, everyone, just wait here for the news." Butler Song nodded with satisfaction, turned and left immediately, saying casually that he could earn 15,000 spirit jade. This is a pie that has fallen from the sky. If you don't accept it, it will be for free. Don't answer.

As for the fact that he and Hong Zhong are old friends, although this is not a lie, but if someone gave him a spiritual jade for free, is there any reason to not want it?

The whole day passed by in a flash. Shopkeeper Hao, Wang Tong and others had been gathering in the living room to wait. However, the expected news never came.

It wasn't until sunset that everyone saw Butler Song slowly walking through the door, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "The Zhenbei Guards have withdrawn their troops, and the Far North Island has also been closed. It seems that before tomorrow's auction, , will the Hong Chamber of Commerce send people to deliver supplies again? For the 15,000 spirit jade promised, you can pay the bill now."

Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The possibility that Hong Zhong could do nothing was theoretically the greatest, and naturally it was expected by them. The fifteen thousand spirit jade was just spent to buy peace of mind. Just eliminate the last possibility.

"Hmph, I have long said that old man Hong Zhong does not have such great ability. At this time, he has already stepped into the coffin with one foot. There is no way he can do anything except wait for death. You people are too careful. That would be a waste of spiritual jade." Wang Tong crossed his arms and said sarcastically from the side.
