Chapter 67 The No. 1 Dandy is Back

Liu Zheng had a calm expression, without any fear on his face.

If it was just a mosquito buzzing, he would just ignore it.

If you want to take action, who will tolerate you?

Guo Yu could not bear such humiliation, especially when the other party was a poor young man, so he shouted angrily: "Come on!"

“Bold!”

However, at this moment, a group of people walked in from the door again. Everyone looked over and saw that the person was the third leader of the Baiya Army, Du Biao! Surrounded by several burly men, Du Biao walked like a dragon and a tiger, with extraordinary momentum, and stared at Guo Yu with his eagle-like eyes: "Who is this brat, humiliating people in public? Do you have the final say in this business?"

“I, I, I…”

Guo Yu was startled.

Du Biao was intimidating even without being angry, and his face was full of murderous intent. No one dared to look him in the eye, especially as he was a playboy, and he could not withstand such a glare.

Du Biao turned to look at Liu Zheng, his face full of smiles, and laughed: "Mr. Liu, you have an extraordinary demeanor. I have admired you for a long time!"

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart. If possible, he really didn't want to be admired by people like you for a long time, but he could only clasp his fists and smile: "The third boss is so arrogant that he is well-known to me."

Du Biao actually came over, held Liu Zheng's arms, and said affectionately: "Mr. Liu, what you said is wrong. Ambition does not depend on age. When I was your age, I was just like these good-for-nothings!"

This made Guo Yu and the others' faces change instantly, but they dared not say a word. Now, they became the focus of ridicule again. There was no way, this was Du Biao. Although he was a "merchant", he represented a force comparable to Liangzhou Prefecture. Dare to provoke him, don't you want to live?

Everyone was also wondering.

Why is Du Biao so fond of the young master of the Liu family, but he doesn't dare to ask.

"This must be Miss Zheng, a beauty as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, a beauty from the north! What are you waiting for? Hurry and bring me a seat!"

Du Biao greeted Zheng Yueru before he shouted.

In one sentence, we can see Du Biao's status in the entire Liangzhou. How could a mere trading company dare to disobey him? They quickly moved a few seats, and Du Biao directly pulled Liu Zheng to sit in the middle, which was a superior position!

Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru looked at each other and groaned in their hearts.

Du Biao was very famous, domineering, generous, and well-mannered. He was in charge of the business affairs of the Baiya Army. He was a first-class talent who could do such a big business in Liangzhou. He was very natural in his work. After Liu Zheng sat down, he talked with him about everything without any hypocrisy or contempt.

This made Liu Zheng even more vigilant.

During the conversation, Du Biao occasionally mentioned Yinzhou fine wine and business matters, but he only touched on them briefly and did not delve into them. This made Liu Zheng even more exhausted, and he realized that he was still far behind this true tyrant.

"Haha, I'm very interested in Brother Liu's Fengming Building! Come to Brother Liu's Lanxiang Class some other day!"

After chatting for a while, Du Biao and he already treated each other as brothers.

Liu Zheng quickly agreed.

"Everyone, everyone, silence!"

Just then, the manager of the business came out.

"I summoned you all here this time because everyone is already aware of the details. This year, the Queen of our Longyang Dynasty will be coming back to visit her parents !" The person in charge was excited: "This is a big event, and it is the glory of Liangzhou! It is the time for the Oiran Festival, the Lantern Festival..."

Du Biao sneered, "Old Li, if you have something to say, just say it now. Just tell me how much silver you want!"

Everyone laughed and echoed.

Manager Li smiled and said, "The specifications of the Queen's ceremonial procession are naturally unusual. The company estimates that we are still short of 50,000 taels of silver!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience burst into silence.

"Fifty thousand taels?"

"so much?"

"Yes, each of us contributed one thousand taels before. Is this another one thousand taels?"

Du Biao also laughed coldly, "Mr. Li, it's not that I, Du Biao, have an objection, nor is it that my Lanxiang class can't afford the money. But logically speaking, the Empress's visit to her parents, the ceremonial reception, should be the responsibility of Liangzhou Prefecture, right? How come it's all on us?"

"yes!"

“This is not fair!”

Everyone also expressed their dissatisfaction.

Manager Li coughed and said, "Please be quiet, everyone. As we all know, the Xiongnu rebelled this year. Liangzhou's finances are not good. It is the responsibility of every citizen to resist foreign enemies, so, so..."

Du Biao shouted, "It's good to resist foreign enemies, but how can it be bad? If it is not good, it should also be like the Yinzhou Prefecture, and make public its income and expenditure, so that we will believe it! Then, we can take as much as we want from the Lanxiang Class!"

When everyone heard this, they realized that this was indeed the truth.

You said it was not good, so you want to torment these merchants? So how is it not good? The current Yinzhou Prefecture publicly announced its income and expenditure. In this case, if you say it is not good, on the one hand, doesn't it mean that Liangzhou Prefecture's ability to generate income and management is insufficient? On the other hand, what is the reason for the poor performance? You hid the accounts, and with just one word "not good", you want to share all the 50,000 taels of silver. Is Chen Ping really a good hand at killing fat sheep!

Liu Zheng was startled when he heard this.

When Du Biao appeared today, his words and deeds were full of rhythm, criticizing Liangzhou Prefecture and stirring up the emotions of the whole audience.

It seemed that everything was getting closer and closer to Jiang Xuan's guess.

Manager Li was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat: "Third Master, this, this, this..."

Du Biao snorted coldly and stopped looking at him.

Du Biao didn't say anything, so how could others dare to agree? Although 50,000 taels, if shared equally, only one thousand taels per family, but you have to have a reason, right? The annual courtesan meeting is a tradition in the brothel industry, but there are very few who can really make a profit from it, and most of them are just joining in the fun. One thousand taels for fun, isn't it enough? Two thousand taels this year, who can be convinced?

Zheng Yueru looked at Liu Zheng and shook her head. She thought that 10,000 taels of silver would be enough, but she didn't expect that 50,000 taels would be required. If it was really like Liu Zheng said, and he really wanted to "sponsor", then Fengming Tower would really lose a lot!

Liu Zheng was actually very hesitant.

Of course, he was not hesitant because of the excessive amount of silver, but because Du Biao was here at this time, which made him hesitate in his decision.

I thought that the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce would not attract the attention of such a behemoth for the time being, so it didn't matter what Liu Zheng did at that time. But Du Biao's attitude today was obviously different. Liu Zheng was thinking, if he sponsored it in a high-profile manner, would it put him in danger?

but……

This hesitation only lasted for a few moments. Now that we have come to Liangzhou, we must overcome any obstacles.

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and stood up.

This attracted the attention of the whole city.

Du Biao asked curiously, "Brother Liu, what's this?"

Manager Li also looked surprised.

Liu Zheng laughed: "Manager Li, Fengming Tower is willing to provide 50,000 taels of silver and prepare the ceremonial guard together with the company!"

"What?"

The whole audience was shocked.

However, it’s not over yet.

Liu Zheng continued, "Fengming Tower is willing to provide "Zuiyinzhou" and other fine wines for the Oiran Party, so that the whole city can drink freely!"

boom!

Manager Li was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Du Biao was also stunned and rubbed his eyes hard.

"Fengming Tower will provide all kinds of costumes for the participants and the courtesans!"

"Fengming Building will also provide a large amount of daily necessities!"

"Fengming Tower will provide carriages for travel..."

"Fengming Tower will provide tableware for the Oiran Club..."

"Fengming Tower..."

There is one in the whole audience, count it as one.

Everyone was stunned.

What the hell is this?

Others are trying to avoid it, but you enjoy it?

According to Liu Zheng, it is not something that can be solved with 50,000 taels of silver. Even 100,000 taels is not enough!

are you crazy?

Are you a boy who gives away money?

Could it be that the number one playboy in Liangzhou is back again?

Du Biao had a strange thought in his mind. Could it be that when Master Liu arrived in Yinzhou, he was a great talent, but when he returned to Liangzhou, he became the biggest loser? Was this influenced so much by the environment?

Zheng Yueru was extremely anxious.

Is this how you do business? But she had always trusted Liu Zheng, so she couldn't refute him in public and could only endure it.

"how?"

Liu Zheng asked with a laugh.

Manager Li finally reacted and slapped his thigh, "Oh my, that's great! Master Liu is so kind! Let's sign the contract right away, right away!"

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Guo Yu burst into laughter, ignoring Du Biao beside him, and pointed at Liu Zheng, mocking him with a smile: "Mr. Liu, are you showing your true colors again?"

"Hahaha! This is one hundred thousand taels!"

"This kid, as expected, can't help spending some money when he has it... That's right, he really has the demeanor of Mr. Liu back then!"

Various mocking voices came one after another.

Du Biao also stared at Liu Zheng in a daze, a little confused about what this guy wanted to do. Did he come back to find a sense of existence? To respond to those humiliations? But that's not the way to play! 100,000 silver coins, why don't you use them to recruit 20,000 soldiers?

Could it be that I overestimated the father and son of the Liu family?

"Okay, okay, everyone, please go back, please go back!"

Manager Li didn't care what others thought. As long as the matter was resolved, he would have done a great job. He quickly pulled Liu Zheng to the study to sign the contract.

"Master Liu, please take a look. Is this feasible?"

He looked at Liu Zheng eagerly.

Liu Zheng took a look at the drafted contract and nodded with a smile: "It suits my taste very well! The banknotes are all here. As for the other items, I will bring them in order and prepare them in full!"

Zheng Yueru wanted to beat Liu Zheng hard to wake him up, but the latter had already signed his name on the contract and threw away the 50,000 silver notes with a wave of his hand.

Manager Li felt as if he were in a dream and was extremely happy.

On the way back, Zheng Yueru wanted to ask several times.

Liu Zheng knew what she was thinking and laughed, "There's not much time left, so I can't explain it to you. How is the inventory of Liangzhou wine?"

Zheng Yueru snorted coldly: "I can't stand your torment!"

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Send a pigeon to Yinzhou right away, and rush the horses to deliver all kinds of fine wines to Liangzhou!"

"Brother Liu!~"

Zheng Yueru was anxious.

Then Liu Zheng continued: "Remember, the mark on the wine bottle cannot be changed at will!"

"mark?"

Liu Zheng said: "Yes, that is the trademark of our Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce. No matter what products we produce in the future, we must have the trademark! Remember, this is called branding !"

Zheng Yueru was confused by what she heard.

"Each flower shop can supply some soap. Remember, it's a brand name!"

"Immediately contact a clothing factory to rush out uniforms for the staff overnight and put our logo on the back!"

"The courtesans of Fengming Tower, please give me your sizes tonight! I will personally design their competition costumes for them!"

"Immediately find a printing workshop and print the trademark stickers!"

"I want the tables, chairs, wheels, plates and cups at the courtesan party to all have the trademark of our Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce!"

"In short, it cost one hundred thousand taels of silver..."

"I want every hole to be omnipresent, all of them are the trademarks of the Silver State Chamber of Commerce! Do you understand?"

Zheng Yueru was stunned on the spot.

She worked hard in her head.

Imagine the scene of this year's Oiran meeting.

Sudden.
