Happy Little Scholar

The Lin family of Fengzhou is just an emerging family in Qi.

The so-called "emerging" family is naturally different from the Liu family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a deep foundation. In terms of reputation, financial resources, and power, these wealthy families that have been passed down for generations are not comparable to those nouveau riche.

In their eyes, the Lin family, including the Qian family, which has been in the limelight in recent years, are all nouveau riche.

The financial resources they have accumulated in a short period of time may be comparable to those of big families like the Liu family, but their foundation is shallow or even non-existent. If the Lin family and the Qian family were not backed by the shadow of the third prince, and the Liu family was also one of the supporters of the third prince, he would never be so polite to them.

At least, in the territory of Liuzhou, the Liu family does not need to be polite to anyone.

He put down his airs and visited the door again and again with great sincerity, which has given enough face to the Lin family, but Lin Wanru's action just now was to rub his face on the ground directly.

If the head of the Lin family, who is rich in wealth, is just a small manager, who else in the world can be called the shopkeeper?

This is an insult to him.

Liu Luo put away his smile and said lightly: "Miss Lin, our Liu family came with sincerity. I hope you don't joke with me."

Lin Wanru shook her head and said: "I'm not kidding. This is really our shopkeeper."

"In this case, there is nothing to talk about." Liu Luo stood up, said a word, and simply turned around and left.

Although he didn't say much, Li Yi could still feel the strong resentment when he walked out of the door.

Li Yi looked at Lin Wanru and said, "It's over. You have offended the local boss here. If he holds a grudge and waits for revenge, it will be difficult to do business in Liuzhou."

"What should we do..." She sighed and said, "Liuzhou is not like Fengzhou. We are helpless here and cannot fight them..."

"What are you afraid of? Liuzhou is not named Liu. Can they still drive you out?"

"Although Liuzhou is not named Liu, it is not named Lin..."

Li Yi thought about it carefully and said, "That's not necessarily true. If you think carefully about what happened last time, it may not be impossible to make it named Lin..."

Lin Wanru Looking at him, he asked, "What happened last time?"

Miss Liu Er came over from behind, stopped beside him, and asked, "What happened last time?"

"Last time, what happened last time..." Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter what happened last time. Anyway, don't worry about the Liu family. We also have a deep mass base in Liuzhou, not much worse than them. Don't worry..."

After all, the Holy Church branch in Liuzhou has been taken under his command. To put it mildly, it has a certain mass base. To put it more broadly, it has a certain basis for rebellion. Even the Liuzhou government is not afraid of it, so why would it be afraid of a mere Liu family?

Liu family

A young man looked at Liu Luo and asked, "Did she refuse?"

Liu Luo nodded with a gloomy face: "Our Liu family is a small temple, and there is no room for the big Buddha of the Lin family."

"There are so many women in the world, why do you have your eyes on Lin Wanru?" The young man frowned and said, "Although she is not young, she is the head of the Lin family anyway. How can she be your concubine? Or do you want the Lin family?"

He looked at Liu Luo with a calm face, but Liu Luo was frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

Although the Lin family has no background, in terms of financial resources, the Liu family cannot compare. If he really takes down Lin Wanru and the Lin family, his status in the Liu family will surely rise. At that time, the most unhappy person must be his brother...

He hurriedly explained: "I am not doing this for the good of the family. Even if we can't get the Lin family, as long as we can conquer that woman, there is no need to worry about the family's prosperity. Big brother, do you also hope that our Liu family will always hide in this small Liuzhou?"

The young man glanced at him obscurely and said, "Since she is unwilling to give face to the Liu family, we don't have to show her any mercy."

...

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. This sentence makes sense.

After offending the Liu family, the supply of goods in Liuzhou was cut off the next day.

The reason why they came to Liuzhou this time was because Liuzhou had a developed textile industry and was the largest silk producing area in Qi. Building a clothing store here could save a lot of costs and unnecessary expenses.

In this way, they had to rely on the supply of goods in Liuzhou.

This is a win-win relationship for both parties. Before Li Yi and his team arrived in Liuzhou, countless merchants took the initiative to seek cooperation, almost crying and begging to get on the Lin family's carriage.

In the past few days, those merchants who had negotiated well sent their managers to terminate the cooperation on the pretext of insufficient supply for various reasons.

Considering that the store was still in the planning stage and the details had not been decided, they did not sign a contract. These merchants regretted at the same time, and several managers went to many merchants and got the same answer.

The Liu family wanted to cut off their supply of goods in this way. This is a naive but effective way.

No one is willing to sell raw materials to them, so the store will naturally not be able to open.

A manager said anxiously: "Boss, please think of a way. We have invested so much in Liuzhou in the early stage. In this way, all the money before will be wasted..."

Another shopkeeper complained: "Merchants are trustworthy. How can they be so untrustworthy? This is clearly a trap set for us!"

"Shopkeeper, please make up your mind quickly!"

…

Lin Wanru looked at the anxious stewards, looked at Li Yi, and said, "Shopkeeper, you make up your mind."

Li Yi found that the recent behavior of this business girl Hua Mulan and Lin Wanru Lin was completely inconsistent with her title.

She drank tea and chatted with Ruyi and the others every day, and even asked Ruyi to teach her a few self-defense techniques. When she heard that Ruyi and the others, without exception, had all learned the facial-retention technique, she completely ignored her business. .

The arrangement and deployment of Liuzhou's business all fell on his shoulders.

She keeps saying that she is in charge, but how can she be in charge? This is clearly the airs of the fifth wife of the Li family...

However, the fifth lady’s airs must be the airs of the fifth lady. Who made him the hands-off shopkeeper for five years? You should be more tolerant and tolerant of this willful manager. If she quits, where will she go? Find such a good five... manager.

Li Yi looked at Xu Zheng standing aside and said, "Messenger Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you."

…

Liu family.

Liu Luo sat in the hall, with a trace of ridicule on his face.

The Lin family's business is very large and has spread all over Qi State, which is much larger than the Liu family's business.

But don’t forget, this is Liuzhou, the Liuzhou of the Liu family. When you get to Liuzhou, the tiger has to lie down, and the dragon has to lie down. Lin Wanru doesn’t give him face, and doesn’t give the Liu family face, here. Liuzhou, they will be unable to move even an inch!

Wu family.

The Wu family runs a silk business in Liuzhou. I dare not say that it is one of the best, but it can also be ranked among the top five.

At this time, the head of the Wu family was sending several people out of the house respectfully. He bowed to the person in front and said, "Envoy, please rest assured. I will restrain those below and not cause trouble to the envoy..."

Xu Zheng nodded indifferently.

Several Lin family shopkeepers followed behind, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Yesterday, just yesterday, they stood at the door of the Wu family, not even entering the door. It was only a day later that the head of the Wu family saw them as if they were meeting their ancestors... To be precise, he met that person. A promised messenger.

Not just the Wu family, they had already visited several families just now, and the attitudes of the heads of those families were exactly the same as the heads of the Wu family.

They signed a contract with each other easily. Those iron roosters who usually live for nothing, this time they all wanted to give them as much profit as possible, even if they didn't want it...

In Liuzhou, the folk customs are so simple and frightening...
