Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 277

The yard that was originally full of snow has been cleaned out.

Chen Chu was taking Li Lizhi and Ang Si to Cuju.

This kind of three-person movement is a lot of fun.

It just hurts a little.

Not long after, Chen Chu was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

Just when he was flanked by Li Lizhi and Ang Si, Menzi came in and reported: "Boss, there is someone at the door asking to see you."

"Who is it?" Chen Chu asked.

Menzi said, "He said his name was Lao Li."

Old Li?

As soon as Chen Chu frowned, he heard a voice not far away: "Good boy, tell me, how long has it been since you entered the palace to say hello?"

……

Chapter 341

Li Ke heard a voice not far away, turned his head to look, and saw Li Er and Gao Chen, his valet, walking towards this side angrily.

Chen Chu hurriedly turned around, bowed and said, "I pay my respects to my father."

He was a little guilty.

At the beginning, when he came back from Shanzhou, he never went to the palace once.

Afterwards, Li Er sent people to announce Chen Chu to enter the palace many times, but Chen Chu happened to be away.

Back and forth, and Li Er, I haven't seen each other for a long time.

It feels a little raw.

Seeing this, Li Er snorted coldly and remained silent.

Over there, Li Lizhi, who was playing Cuju, hurried over.

"I wish my father well." Li Lizhi hurriedly said, "I wish my father well."

When Li Er saw his precious daughter, he immediately felt better.

So he said: "Chen Chu, today, I won't argue with you..."

Suddenly, he sniffed and said, "Well, I smell beef, tell me, what else is delicious?"

Chen Chu: "..."

He managed to get a piece of beef from Cheng Yaojin, and he had just let the cook of the Nanshan mansion stew it, when Li Er asked him out unexpectedly.

It really is the emperor, this sense of smell is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Chen Chu could only invite Li Er to sit in the main hall of the villa.

After taking his seat, Li Ercai said slowly: "Chen Chu, my Baiqisi found out that the Zheng family in Xingyang made cotton cloth, and the recipe for this cotton cloth was passed down from the West Datang Company? Could it be you On purpose?"

At the beginning, Chen Chu convened the shareholders of West Datang Company to discuss disclosing the secret recipe of cotton cloth. Li Er knew about this, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Chen Chu must be using some kind of cover.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, Baiqisi found out that Zheng's made cotton cloth, using the recipe from the cotton factory.

Now, Li Er is not calm anymore.

I have worked so hard to advertise cotton cloth, and I will sell cotton cloth officially under pressure.

How can you leak the secret recipe after changing hands?

Therefore, when Li Er received the news, he rushed to the Nanshan mansion without stopping to ask Chen Chu for clarification.

Seeing Li Er's worried face, Chen Chu chuckled and said, "Father, this recipe was indeed revealed on purpose by me, in order to let the nobles like the Zheng family dispel the idea of ​​joining the Western Datang Company , the franchise store of the Western Datang Company, ordinary people can apply, officials from the DPRK and China can apply, and merchants can apply, but the Zheng family can't. A big family like the Zheng family has too much power. Once they are allowed to join, they will control it in the future. With the sales channels of West Datang Company, they can counteract West Datang Company at any time, but others do not have such strength... Therefore, the best way is to let Mrs. Zheng master the method of making cotton cloth. Mrs. Zheng has cotton cloth , will naturally think of producing cotton cloth and selling it by itself, instead of focusing on joining the West Datang Company..."

Li Er nodded.

Chen Chu's method is indeed the most effective.

Li Er asked again: "But you are not worried that Zheng's cotton cloth will threaten the West Datang Company in the future? You know, the cloth business in the world is now headed by Zheng's."

Hearing this, Chen Chu laughed, and said, "Father, your worries are unreasonable. The secret recipe I revealed is the most primitive. It can produce cotton cloth, but the quality is much worse. Zheng's needs to pay a big price. In order to improve the quality of cotton cloth, it will take a year at the shortest time. By then, the cotton cloth of our West Datang Company will have already occupied the whole world. Of course, there is another point, that is, within a few years, Zheng You can’t buy any cotton at all, the cotton in Tubo within three years is all from the West Datang Company, and the cotton in Shanzhou is also from the West Datang Company..."

In this era, the gathering place of cotton was in Tubo.

In places other than Tubo, even in the Western Regions, there is a small amount of cotton.

However, with the expansion of the caravan of the Western Datang Company, the cotton in these countries has been searched out long ago.

In other words, all the cotton is actually under the control of the West Datang Company.

Zheng has a secret recipe, but he can't produce cotton cloth.

This was Chen Chu's trump card.

With this hole card, he is truly invincible.

Li Er suddenly realized.

Snapped.

Li Eryi patted the table: "Okay, Chen Chu, I really saw you right, you're doing well..."

He was in a good mood.

Chen Chu showed a mysterious smile, and continued: "Father, I also prepared a mysterious gift for you. Within half a year, the Zheng family will definitely be depressed. Do you believe it?"

Ok?

Seeing Chen Chu's appearance as a chicken thief, Li Er couldn't help asking: "You boy, is there something wrong in your heart? Tell me quickly and listen."

Chen Chu chuckled and said, "Secret it. Come on, father, eat the beef first, and you will know when the time comes."

Li Er: "..."

If it were someone else who dared to show off in front of him, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

……

The next day, the Zheng family in Xingyang directly announced that the Zheng family had also produced cotton cloth.

Immediately, Zheng's established Zheng's Cotton Factory.

It has to be said that a big family like the Zheng family is very fast in action.

Zheng's cotton factory directly stared at the cotton factory of West Datang Company, imitating it to the bone marrow.

In just over ten days, Zheng's Cotton Factory poached hundreds of people from the West Datang Cotton Factory at high prices.

With this group of people, Zheng Chengdong and his son are full of confidence.

Then, Zheng's Cotton Factory announced that it would join the Western Datang Company as well.

For a while, many gentry and merchants followed.

After all, Zheng's influence is too great.

Many people originally wanted to apply for franchise stores of the Western Datang Company, but later switched to Zheng's embrace.

Nanshan Mansion.

Changsun Wuji said worriedly: "Chen Chu, it's not the old man who said you. You should be nervous now. The Zheng family is very shameless. They actually learned how to walk in Handan and learn how to do things like us. The Zheng family is powerful and there are many gentry who follow him. In this way It's very bad for us..."

When Changsun Wuji heard the news, he hurried to find Chen Chu.

When Chen Chu heard the news, he smiled slightly.

He waved his hand indifferently: "Brother Changsun, why worry, the old saying is good, those who imitate me will die, and those who resemble me will perish. If you want to learn from Xidatang Company, Zheng's is not enough... Since they want to play, then we will play A big one."

Chen Chu stood up, paced back and forth, and said directly: "Brother Changsun, I have to trouble you during this period of time. You should quickly release the news and tell the world that in order to encourage franchisees to open stores in remote places For franchise stores, from now on, the West Datang Company will lend 50 yuan to the franchisees without interest, and they can pay off within three years..."

what?

pat!

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

50 guan?

This is an astronomical sum.

Snapped.

Changsun Wuji picked up his teacup, paused on the table, and said with a sneer: "Boy, I think you are crazy, now the West Datang Company is full of holes, and there are debts everywhere. If you don’t come out, where did you get 50 pennies?”

……

Chapter 342

What Chen Chu said was actually the lending that was very common in Datang.

The eldest grandson's family also has a similar business.

The difference is that what Chen Chu said was interest-free, but what the eldest grandson's family did was usury.

Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't worry about interest.What he is worried about is that the stalls of the West Datang Company are too large to make ends meet, and there are places where money is used everywhere. There will not be more than [-] guan in the treasury.

Just like this, Chen Chu still dares to lend money?

Changsun Wuji thought Chen Chu was crazy.

Besides, isn't it a fool's job to lend money without interest?

As one of the shareholders of West Datang Company, Changsun Wuji was of course in a hurry.

This is all our dividend money.

Seeing Changsun Wuji's face flushed and eager to hit someone, Chen Chu was immediately happy: "Brother Changsun, listen to me first. I said I would take out 50 yuan for an interest-free loan, but I didn't intend to do so. The purpose of doing this is to make Zheng Shi feel the pressure and let Zheng Shi hurry up to open a franchise store..."

"you……"

Changsun Wuji turned his head and immediately wanted to understand the key point.

He stared at Chen Chu dumbfounded: "You...you plan to use lending as a cover to force Zheng to open a franchise store at all costs, but Zheng has no cotton and can't produce cotton cloth at all. The store will become a decoration, and the Zheng family will also suffer heavy losses... You... Are you planning to beat Zheng to death with a stick?"

This is too vicious, right?

But Changsun Wuji rubbed his hands and felt a little excited.

Back then, when he came to the door in person and persuaded Zheng Chengdong not to hoard cloth, who knew that Zheng Chengdong even made a few words of sarcasm.

Oh, it would be great if Mrs. Zheng was unlucky.

Chen Chu nodded and said, "That's right, we only said that we would spend 50 yuan for interest-free loans, but we didn't say we really wanted to lend. Is this the truth?"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Snapped.

Changsun Wuji patted the table and smiled: "Don't worry, I will leave this matter to the old man, and I will guarantee that Mrs. Zheng will be deceived... Forget it, this is not a deception, it is a trick. However, after the success of this matter, you cannot claim all the credit for it." It’s all yours, at least [-]% is the old man’s, right?”

Chen Chu smiled and didn't speak.

Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves: "It's unreasonable, you kid, you just like to monopolize the credit, forget it, I don't care about you."

Changsun Wuji left full of complaints.

Chen Chu watched the other party leave, and shouted: "Brother Changsun, stay and eat..."

Changsun Wuji didn't even look back: "What to eat, I'm a person who does great things."

People who do big things don't eat?

Chen Chu was happy.

Changsun Wuji is the most suitable for lending money.

Because, the prestige of the eldest grandson's family in Datang is still very high.

If someone else played, the effect would definitely not be as good as Changsun Wuji.

……

early morning.

Chang'an City.
