Chapter 231 The general trend of the world, gather the capital!
"Fourth, under the current situation, major businessmen can only choose me, Dawu!"
Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Now, everyone in the world knows that the great vassal kings have the intention of rebelling against our court! If they do business with the vassal kings, they will definitely not be accepted by my court! , and they hate each other! Therefore, the merchants can only do business with one of the forces!"
"In such a horizontal comparison, my court has a lot of raw material resources, and the cement produced is of high quality and low price, and it also has a broad market. Businessmen will choose other people when they are brainless!"
The Empress clapped her hands again: "Okay! ~ Well said!"
"Fifth, in addition to giving cement distribution rights to major merchants, we also gave them favorable tax conditions, but the major vassal kings only want to make money, and they will definitely not be favored by major merchants-!"
"And the sixth!"
Lin Beifan glanced at the civil and military officials left and right, and said with a smile: "We take the lead and attract all the rich people in the world! They have invested a lot of resources in our new city, the cost is huge, and they must be rewarded! "
"If they switch to others at this time, the loss will not come back! Therefore, they have been tied to my Dawu boat, and they have no choice but to choose my Dawu!"
The Empress laughed heartily, clapped her hands and said, "Aiqing, what you said is really good! Originally I was a little worried, but after listening to your words now, I realize that I don't have to worry at all!"
The other officials looked at Lin Beifan's smug look, and secretly said a little yin.
At this time, the land of northern Hebei.
The King of Jibei is still dreaming of making a fortune in spring and autumn.
Almost every day, he called the military division over to question him.
"Master, how is the investment promotion situation now? How many people have signed up?" The King of Jibei asked eagerly.
Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser, bowed his hands very calmly: "Qi Wang, the investment promotion notice has just been announced to the world, and the work has just begun, so no rich businessmen have come to sign up! But my subordinates believe that in a few days, there will be a lot of people responding!"
The King of Jibei patted the military division's shoulder with relief: "The military division is right, this king is too anxious!"
Another day later, the king of Jibei called his military advisor again.
"Master, how is the situation today?"
Mr. Zhuge was still calm: "Reporting to the lord, there is still no one to sign up! My subordinates suspect that they just received the news yesterday, and they only set off for my northern Hebei today. There should be good news in the next two days!"
The King of Jibei smiled all over his face: "What the strategist said is very true! There should be good news in the next two days!"
On the third day, the King of Jibei couldn't help but call the military advisor again.
"Master, what's the situation today, can a wealthy businessman come to vote?"
Mr. Zhuge calmly said: "My lord, no one is here today! It may be that I am tired from the long journey. I will take a day off and prepare to score points before coming tomorrow! After all, these big businessmen are very particular about etiquette, and many people are polite. No wonder! Lord, you are waiting for my good news!"
"Master, this king believes in you!"
Day 4, Day 5...
Every day, the king of Jibei called his military advisor to question him.
However, the news was that no one was there, and there was almost no progress at all.
Gradually, Mr. Zhuge also became restless.
It's been 5 days, how come no one is there?
On Lin Beifan's side, on the second day of the announcement, a group of wealthy businessmen came from the capital in droves.
On the third day, wealthy businessmen from the surrounding cities came.
On the fourth day, famous families and wealthy businessmen from farther away also came.
Every day that follows can be described as a cloud of applicators and a city like a city.
Why come to him, the situation is completely the opposite?
For 5 days, not a single person could be seen, the door was deserted and desolate, miserable and miserable!
Where did these rich businessmen go?
Didn't he go to other vassal kings?
Gradually, the King of Jibei became a little impatient: "Master, it's been almost a week, why can't I see a single person? Even if people are in Wuxi, they can come running, can you give Ben Wang explain?"
Mr. Zhuge was sweating profusely: "My lord, my subordinates suspect that there may be some problems!"
"What's the problem?" the King of Jibei asked.
"This... this..." Mr. Zhuge's face became more sweaty.
Rack your brain and weave excuses.
But this situation was seen by the King of Jibei, his face was unpleasant, he snorted and left with his hands behind: "Master, if there is no good news tomorrow, you can do it!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, listen to your subordinates..." Mr. Zhuge hurriedly chased out, but he couldn't keep up with the prince's footsteps.
His heart was full of bitterness, because he knew that the prince was really angry.
The angry prince is terrifying!
"It seems that this can only be done temporarily!" Mr. Zhuge gritted his teeth.
In the evening, he invited the rich merchants of the city to come.
As a result, I only saw two or three kittens, and the business scale was only in the early 20,000 to 30,000 taels. Many of them couldn't name their names and frowned: "Why are there only a few of you, and the others?"
The merchants present looked at each other in dismay, and one of the more prestigious merchants cupped his hands with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Zhuge, the others have already left Jibei to do business outside!"
Mr. Zhuge frowned again: "Going to do business outside? Isn't it bad in northern Hebei?"
"This..." The businessmen looked at each other in dismay, and did not answer in silence.
Only then did Mr. Zhuge realize that the previous incident of horse bandits had had too much impact, even bigger than he imagined!
"Forget it, let's not talk about them today!"
Mr. Zhuge changed the subject and showed a self-indulgent smile: "Today, the old man called you, there is a good fortune handed over to you! As long as you hold on tight, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money and make money every day! "
"Mr. Zhuge, what kind of creation?" someone asked.
"Cement, the artifact of building houses, have you heard of it?" Mr. Zhuge said in a tempting tone: "Our palace can also produce cement! So, here's your chance to make a fortune!"
After explaining the matter, Mr. Zhuge left with satisfaction.
He believes that these businessmen will be ecstatic and grateful when they know that they have the opportunity to obtain the distribution rights of cement.
In this way, he can explain to the prince.
However, after he left, the merchants present looked bitter.
"If I knew it earlier, we ran away too!"
"You also said that you will give us the distribution rights of cement? Humph! It's clearly trying to make money from us!"
"Yeah, in order to obtain the cement distribution rights, you must first pay a lot of materials! But after the trouble of horse bandits, where do we have any money?"
"Even if we get the right to distribute cement and there are poor people everywhere, where can we sell it?"
"My lord, then you want to drive us to death with empty gloves!"
"I'm afraid that if I make a fortune, there will be another round of horse bandits! Alas, these days are really hard to pass!"
...
At this time, an older businessman gritted his teeth and said, "Comrades, it's still too late to run! If we don't run, we really have no way to survive!"
They looked at each other and nodded heavily.
On the second day, in the palace.
The King of Jibei once again called Mr. Zhuge.
"Master, how is the situation now? This king wants to listen to the truth, don't try to fool me!"
This time, Mr. Zhuge was full of confidence, patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, don't worry! In fact, some wealthy businessmen contacted me last night, saying they were very interested in cement! After another stick of incense, they will join hands. come!
"Really? This king just has time, so I'll wait with you!" The King of Jibei grinned.
As a result, the time for a stick of incense has passed, and there is still not a single person to be seen.
After another incense stick, there was still no one to be seen.
The face of King Jibei gradually became gloomy, and he looked at Mr. Zhuge's eyes with implied anger.
Mr. Zhuge panicked and said: "My lord, they may have been delayed by something, and the subordinates will call them to come!"
As a result, the person who called to go quickly ran back: "Mr. Zhuge, it's not good! The subordinates went to their home and the store, and found that the building was empty! They all... ran away!"
"What? Run away?" Mr. Zhuge limped down.
The other vassal kings did not end well either.
In the south of the Yangtze River, there are many merchants, and it stands to reason that cement dealers should be able to be found.
However, the King of Jiangnan looked sad.
At the beginning, King Jiangnan sent invitations to major wealthy businessmen to sell cement, which received relatively positive responses.
But when they heard that they could only exchange food, their expressions changed immediately and they all refused.
Because, after the flood disaster and the sky-high fire, food can be said to be in short supply in the south of the Yangtze River, and the price has even reached 3 to 4 times the normal price. Food is ready.
Even the wealthy businessmen did not have much food on hand, so they could only supply their own people.
At this time, the King of Jiangnan wants to exchange cement for grain. Isn't this a commotion?
People can live without housing, but they cannot live without food!
As a result, the two sides broke out, and the cement business also blew.
At this time, Wang Fugui walked back with a sad face.
The King of Jiangnan asked with hope: "How about it, can they agree? This king has already sold cement at a low price!"
Wang Fugui spread his hands, his face full of bitterness: "My lord, they still won't change it, but it's okay if they use money!"
The king of Jiangnan jumped up in anger: "Is this king short of money? What this king lacks is food! Go back and tell them that this king only needs food! Just food! Just food!"
At this time, a general ran over: "My lord, there is not enough food! If there is no food to eat, the soldiers below will make trouble! How can this be done?"
The king of Jiangnan looked fierce: "Since they don't cooperate, this king can only grab it!"
In the end, the cement business was still not completed, but the King of Jiangnan robbed all the grain from the merchants, causing the merchants to dare not speak out and became a laughing stock.
Wuxi Land.
With the strong support of King Wuxi, Mr. Feng Chu held a grand and prosperous investment conference.
As a result, on the day of the conference, no one came, and it was lonely! ten.
