Chapter 60 There is a Chance
The next moment, several beautiful girls wearing cheongsams and high heels, holding trays with light yellow champagne on them, walked in with graceful figures.
These are all piano and dance artists trained in Bufeng.
Suddenly, all the guests stared in amazement.
After all, cheongsam is too avant-garde for the ancient people of the Chu State.
As she walked, her cheongsam opened and closed, revealing her snow-white calves from time to time. Many old guys were swallowing their saliva.
Of course, the batch of goods that Tang Wen ordered was relatively conservative, with the opening at the bottom only reaching the calf knee.
If the opening reaches the thigh root and occasionally reveals half of the buttocks, it will probably shock a lot of people on the spot.
"These girls are all the musicians and dancers hired by Qianye Club. When you are free in the future, you can go to Qianye Club to taste champagne, listen to music, and watch singing and dancing performances. Of course, if you want to watch the whole show, you can go to the main club in Koh Samui..." Tang Wen immediately advertised.
The beauty was stunning, the dancing was charming, and the champagne was alluring. Suddenly, Yang Yun's celebration banquet reached a climax.
"Sir, can you sell me some of this champagne?" Yelai Pavilion Master Luo Bin asked, holding up a glass of wine.
"These things all come from the West. The journey is long, and there are strong winds and waves along the way. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Very few things can be transported to our Great Chu." Tang Wen said.
"Of course, of course. Sir, just name a price, and we will definitely not let you down," said Luo Bin.
"Alas ... We are all friends. If you insist, I have to give you face. I'll give you a 30% discount, five taels of gold per bottle." Tang Wen said.
"I'll have fifty bottles." Before Luo Bin could say anything, Zhang Junyi, the head manager of Zhang's Bank, spoke first.
"Manager Zhang, it was me, Luo Bin, who spoke first." Luo Bin got a little angry when he heard that.
"It's true that you asked first, but you didn't place the order." Zhang Junyi replied with a dry laugh.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Also, how much does Lord Luo want?" Tang Wen asked.
"Sixty bottles!" Luo Bin was angry.
"Lee's Restaurant wants one hundred bottles."
"Green Tiger Escort Agency, send me fifty bottles."
…
"Tang Jun, take note of this." Tang Wen quickly asked Tang Jun to take out the account book.
Here, we have arranged for someone to go back to Qianyefang to move the champagne.
What surprised Tang Wen was that the three thousand bottles of champagne had been sold out by the end of the banquet, and fifteen hundred taels of gold also fell into Tang Wen's pocket.
In fact, this kind of champagne is made entirely of pure juice shipped back from Italy and blended, and the wholesale price of a bottle is only about a hundred yuan.
Five taels of gold in a bottle is worth fifty or sixty thousand yuan according to the current gold price trend in Yunhai City. That is definitely a huge profit among huge profits.
Of course, only the celebrities and gentry in Yanling County can afford such expensive wine, and bank owners are all wealthy people.
Two or three hundred taels of gold is nothing to them, but ordinary people definitely can't afford it, so the sales volume should not be very large.
After the first wave of leeks are harvested, the second wave will be much smaller.
However, after the leeks in Yanling are harvested, there are still the provincial capital and other provinces to be sold to. Tang Wen is not worried because the market needs to be developed slowly.
In the evening, after all the guests had left, Yang Yun invited Tang Wen to have tea, and Tang Wen told Yang Yun about the matter of eliminating the bandits.
"Brother, the escort agencies in Yanling County are not very big, and each agency has only a few dozen escorts.
There are not many people who have reached the eighth level of skill, and there are only about twenty people in a police station.
There are also a few seventh-grade escort masters, who are enough to deal with some bandits. Even if all the eighth-grade masters from several major escort agencies are given to you, there will be no more than two hundred people.
Moreover, banditry has been serious in recent years, and many disaster victims and refugees have been forced to become bandits, so the number of escorts has increased.
In this way, most of the escorts were sent out.
There aren't many people left in the police station, so your plan probably won't work." Yang Yun said after hearing this.
"Brother Yang, do you have any other options?" Tang Wen asked.
"There is one, but the price is probably very high." Yang Yun said after thinking for a while.
"Tell me about it first." Tang Wen asked.
"Something happened recently. There is a small sect called 'Shuangjianmen' in Yuling County next door to us.
The leader was called 'Luo Shiwu' and he didn't have many followers, originally there were more than 300 disciples.
The Shuangjian Sect had a hard time in the past few years. All the shops it operated went bankrupt, and it couldn't even distribute the elixirs needed for its disciples' cultivation. Dozens of its disciples had run away.
Seeing that if things continued like this, the Shuangjian Sect would be finished, Luo Shiwu became extremely anxious.
Last year , someone in Yuling County wanted to insure a jade Guanyin. The premium was very high, and one trip could get 200,000 taels of silver.
However, if the dart fails, the compensation will be huge, five times the amount, which is one million taels of silver.
Although the major escort agencies in Yuling County were interested in this deal, none of them dared to accept it.
Luo Shiwu was short of money, so he gritted his teeth and took it.
However, I don’t know who spread the rumor that the Jade Guanyin statue contained peerless martial arts.
So, when they passed by Eighteen Water Moon Village, they were robbed. Eighteen Water Moon Village had tens of thousands of villagers, and the people were tough. Not to mention a small sect like Luo Shiwu, even the government turned a blind eye.
Because, although they may occasionally rob some things, they do not like to kill people and do not rebel.
Now that was bad, the boss wanted Shuangjianmen to pay compensation of one million taels of silver. Luo Shiwu sold all his property and some of Shuangjianmen's land and houses, and only then could he raise 500,000 taels of silver.
The other party reported the case to the government, and people came to collect the debt every day.
As a result, people are so angry that they get sick.
After this blow, the Shuangjian Sect is even more shaky and is about to disband." Yang Yun said.
"Is there no sect willing to accept them?" Tang Wen asked .
“Of course, there were sects willing to accept them in the beginning.
However, Luo Shiwu refused to do so. After all, if the Twin Sword Sect was taken over by another sect, it would be gone.
Of course the Luo family would not accept the things left by their ancestors.
However, no sect came to visit later.
The other party has been pressing harder recently, and if Luo Shiwu can't come up with the money, he will have to go to jail.
Because the other party has brought in their backers to put pressure on them, and the provincial government has already put pressure on them.
Luo Shi was forced to agree to be accepted, but no one in Shuangjianmen wanted him. "Yang Yun said.
"It's really a loss to buy a shabby sect with five hundred thousand taels. It's normal that no one wants it." Tang Wen nodded.
"Of course. If you only take action once, it is definitely not worth spending fifty taels." Yang Yun nodded.
"How are the skills of the disciples of Shuangjian Sect?" Tang Wen asked.
“The disciples of this sect are relatively united, and the dozens of disciples who left were not very skilled.
Among the more than 200 disciples who stayed behind, more than 100 were at the ninth level, and there were perhaps fifty or sixty at the eighth level.
There are about twenty people in the seventh level, plus those in the tenth level, there are more than two hundred people in total." Yang Yun said.
"What about Luo Shiwu himself?" Tang Wen asked.
"It's possible that he has entered the sixth level. I heard this from a friend in Yuling County, but I'm not sure about the details." Yang Yun said.
In the middle of the night, Li Liao came with more than thirty people. The next morning, Tang Wen and his gang headed straight for Yuling County fully armed.
Yuling County is about 150 to 160 miles away from Yanling County. Because of the transportation of goods, the travel speed was not fast, so it was not until after three o'clock in the morning that we arrived at Yuling City.
Tang Wen found a big inn to rest. The next morning, Li Liao sent out several of his men to gather information everywhere.
At noon, Li Liao entered Tang Wen's room.
"Sir, I have found out everything. At that time, the owner of Baoyu Guanyin was called 'Guqi', a first-class viscount of Yuling County.
The family owns tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of shops, and is one of the most prominent families in Yuling.
The Gu family has thousands of members, and they also have a hundred guards and two hundred guards, among whom there are many experts. "Li Liao said.
"Why do they need bodyguards when they have so many experts?" Tang Wen asked.
"Do you want to say this is a trap?" Li Liao said.
"If it's not a set up, it would be too confusing." Tang Wen said.
“I also have doubts, but after asking around, I found out that the Gu family and the Shuangjian Sect have never had any grudges.
If it's just to extort money, it seems that the Gu family doesn't lack this little money.
Moreover, if the truth is revealed and the reputation is ruined, the Gu family will lose more than they gain," Li Liao said.
"There must be something wrong here." Tang Wen said.
"This matter is quite bizarre. However, if Luo Shiwu hasn't checked it, he must have checked it." Li Liao said.
"He didn't get to the point. I guess only Gu Qi knows about this." Tang Wen said.
"If we start with Gu Qi, that's simply impossible. This is the Gu family's territory." Li Liao shook his head.
"Gu Qi must think so too. He is the Tai Sui here and no one dares to touch him. Haha, let's touch him." Tang Wen said.
"What can we do to him? With just these few people, we are just going to die. Besides, this is the Gu family's territory. They must be in collusion with the government. Then, we will all be thrown into jail." Li Liao said.
"Kidnapping! Secret interrogation!" Tang Wen said.
"This is absolutely not possible, sir." Li Liao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
