The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought
Chapter 113 The storm is rising
Yandu Jicheng.
The streets are bustling with people and cars, and full of vendors. From time to time, you can see three or five people gathering together and talking.
"Hey, have you heard that the Violet Chamber of Commerce will launch a new product today? It is said that its exquisiteness is no less than that of the Heshi Bi, and the price is only ten gold."
"Brother Li, your information is outdated. I got this news three days ago. Not only that, I also have a complete catalog of the products. The craftsmanship is truly amazing and breathtaking."
"Brother Zhang, where did you get this atlas? How come I don't know it?"
"Hey, do you know who I am? I'm a noble bronze member. No matter what new products the Violet Chamber of Commerce releases, I can get the news first. Not only that, I can enjoy a 95% discount when I buy goods from the Violet Chamber of Commerce."
"Brother Zhang, there is such a good thing. I wonder how to get the bronze membership?"
"To obtain bronze membership, you only need to spend 100 gold in the Violet Chamber of Commerce. Above bronze membership, there are silver membership, gold membership, and the most distinguished purple gold membership!"
"If you spend a thousand dollars, you can get a silver membership. If you spend ten thousand dollars, you can get a gold membership. Purple gold membership is a symbol of status and power. Only the real big shots are qualified to get it."
"What is really enviable is the benefits that members have. Silver members can enjoy a 15% discount, gold members can enjoy a 25% discount, and purple gold members can enjoy a 50% discount, and there is also a dedicated one-on-one service."
"Do you know why I called you all out? Because the Violet Chamber of Commerce will put the pills on sale today, and there are only a thousand of them. At this critical moment, there are so many people watching. If you come too late, you won't even be able to get a glimpse of them!"
"Brother Zhang is so generous!"
"If it is exactly the same as the one in this album, I can probably get a lot of money by just selling it!"
"Don't look at it! The Violet Chamber of Commerce is going to put the Jade Colored Glass Ball on the shelves!"
Everyone present rushed towards the Violet Chamber of Commerce, and in the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the Violet Chamber of Commerce.
"Everyone get out of the way!"
And at this moment, a brutal voice came.
Someone turned around and was about to yell, but when he saw the identity of the person who came, he quickly covered his mouth and stepped aside, frightened and sweating.
The arrival was quite grand, with dozens of royal guards walking on both sides to clear the way, eight servants carrying the sedan chair, and a first-class master guarding his side.
The originally bustling downtown area suddenly became audibly silent.
Those present who knew his identity were all very cautious and fearful, fearing that they might offend the adult in front of them.
That person was none other than the uncle of King Yan and the most powerful person in Yan State - Lord Yanchun.
After Yan Chunjun appeared, a wide road appeared at the scene instantly without anyone even reminding him.
Yan Chunjun lifted the curtain of the carriage, and without his reminder, a servant half-knelt on the ground. He stepped on the servant's shoulder, slowly stepped down from the carriage, glanced coldly at the crowd around him, and walked towards the Violet Chamber of Commerce with his head held high.
Before entering the Violet Chamber of Commerce, a figure quickly came up to them.
"It is truly an honor to welcome such a distinguished guest as you today." Caidie smiled sweetly and guided with her hand, "Please come in, sir."
Yan Chunjun narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not rush to move. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Caidie, looking her up and down.
She was wearing a tight uniform that wrapped her body tightly, giving people a conservative feeling, while her face was heavily made up, with a bit of worldly air.
Unlike ordinary women who were shy and timid and who asked for whatever they wanted, the woman in front of him was much bolder. He rarely saw a woman who dared to look him in the face and reject him.
To Yan Chunjun, the woman in front of him was not that pretty. There were countless women in his mansion who were more beautiful than her. But the woman in front of him seemed more attractive, and he even couldn't help but have the desire to conquer her.
"Then let's do as Miss Caidie wishes." He narrowed his eyes slightly, walked to Caidie's side slowly, stretched out his hand and prepared to pinch her butt hard.
Caidie slightly turned sideways, skillfully avoiding his movements, and said with a normal smile, "I will lead the way, sir."
Facing an ordinary woman, Yan Chunjun would probably be angry by now, but at this moment he still maintained his patience, because the identity of the woman in front of him was not ordinary!
To be more precise, the power behind the Violet Chamber of Commerce is extraordinary.
The reason why the Violet Chamber of Commerce was able to quickly gain a foothold in the State of Yan, besides its best-selling paper, was more because it had established relationships with many prominent and powerful people in the State of Yan.
Even he has a close relationship with the Violet Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, as early as when the paper was selling well, he had planned to seize it by force, and had asked someone to find out the details of the Violet Chamber of Commerce, but the result surprised him.
The power behind the Violet Chamber of Commerce was actually Confucianism. Not only that, when the Violet Chamber of Commerce entered the State of Yan, they immediately established good relations with the Confucian disciples in the court of the State of Yan. The powerful and influential people with prominent status were also involved with them, even him was no exception.
No one would refuse free money, and it’s not a small amount of money at all!
He doesn't have to do anything, just put his name on the list and he can earn hundreds of gold every month.
After tasting the sweetness, the Violet Chamber of Commerce became more like a cash cow to him, and sometimes he even took the initiative to stand up for Violet.
As for him who has tasted all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, the colorful butterfly is more like a unique and exquisite side dish. It would be best if he could taste the deliciousness, but if he can't, it doesn't matter.
The colorful butterflies were indeed attractive to him, but not that much, at least not as attractive as the income of hundreds of gold.
Under the guidance of Caidie, Yan Chunjun soon arrived at a private room.
In the private room, various jade and glass balls are arranged together in a dazzling array, colorful and brilliant.
It is exquisitely crafted and meticulously carved.
Looking at the lifelike jadeite and colored glass balls that were everywhere, Yan Chunjun not only did not show any joy, but his face was gloomy.
Because he saw an emerald glass ball inside that was exactly the same as the one he had spent tens of thousands of gold to buy.
"This thing is only sold for ten gold coins?" He picked up the jadeite glass ball, his eyes gloomy, staring at the colorful butterfly.
"If you want to buy it, all you need is the hardware." Caidie answered truthfully.
Yan Chunjun felt a burning pain on his face. The "treasure" he bought with 50,000 gold coins could now be purchased with just five gold coins?
Looking at the jadeite glass ball that was exactly the same as the one in the mansion, he felt a sense of being deceived and an indescribable anger in his heart.
Are you treating yourself like a fool?
"Were your jadeite glass balls also salvaged from the deep sea?" Yan Chunjun suppressed his anger and asked calmly.
"Are there jadeite colored glass balls in the deep sea?" Caidie looked puzzled. "Our jadeite colored glass balls are made using a special production process."
"Have you ever sold it before?" Yan Chunjun asked, his chest heaving.
"This is our first time selling them." Caidie shook her head, then patted her head, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, and added, "I do remember one thing. When we first started making them, a batch of jadeite glass balls were stolen. There were about dozens of them, but since the number was not large, we didn't care."
After some further questioning, Yan Chunjun instantly understood the whole story.
What a Jade Tiger! What a Ji Wuye!
How dare you tease him like this! How dare you humiliate him like this!
He was so kind as to introduce them to a few businesses, but they kept treating him like a fool?
In this case, don't blame him for being rude!
……
Qin State, Xianyang.
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei took the jadeite glass ball in his hand and played with it, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
As the originator of "rare goods are valuable", when the news of the jade glass ball spread among the dignitaries of the seven countries, he paid attention to it at the first time and developed a keen interest in it.
As a businessman himself, he could tell at a glance what the seller was thinking.
He created the illusion of supply exceeding demand and praised the products in high esteem, with the sole purpose of raising the prices of the products and thereby making more profits.
He was very familiar with this method, because when he was young, he quickly rose to wealth by hoarding goods and selling them at high prices.
What really surprised him was the price of the goods!
In the past, no matter how precious the rare treasures were, they were only worth a few thousand gold. But for the jadeite glass ball, ten thousand gold was just the starting point, with no upper limit.
This is unprecedented with a unit of tens of thousands of gold!
He thought the high price would discourage people, but he didn't expect it to trigger a scramble among the powerful and wealthy to buy it.
They firmly believed in the "magical effects" advertised by the sellers. For example, the jadeite glass ball in Lu Buwei's hand had the so-called effect of helping people prolong their life.
Lu Buwei sneered at this and disagreed. If there really was such a good thing, the merchant would just keep it for himself instead of selling it.
With the hot sales of jade glass balls, Lu Buwei also turned his attention to the people behind the scenes.
On the one hand, he valued his talent and wanted to recruit him as his follower and cultivate him into his own party.
On the other hand, the huge amount of wealth made him covetous. Once the Qin State obtained this wealth, perhaps it would be possible to unify the seven kingdoms during his reign. By then, he would definitely leave a very strong mark in history books.
After some investigation, he soon found the Emerald Tiger and Ji Wuye. Knowing something about Ye Mu, he knew that they did not have such ability and there must be someone behind them giving them advice. Through clues, he found Zi Nu, the owner of Zi Lan Xuan, Han Fei, the ninth prince of Han, and Su Xuan, who was famous among the seven countries.
When he heard the name Su Xuan, Lu Buwei had a complicated expression.
During the time when Su Xuan wrote and published his books, he personally wrote a letter to invite Su Xuan to serve in the State of Qin. Unexpectedly, only half a year later, he became a famous scholar praised by all in the seven countries.
Recently, he had heard a lot of discussions about Su Xuan. Some said he was the reincarnation of Shang Yang, while others said he was more talented than Su Qin...
Lu Buwei always spared no effort to win over talented people, but he felt a little troubled, or even wary, of Su Xuan.
If Su Xuan is really recruited to Qin, what position will he be given?
Shangqing? Zuo Xiang? Or right Xiang?
With his ability, is he willing to be inferior to others?
He didn't know, he only knew that he would not allow anyone who threatened his power to appear!
Power is like poison; once you are addicted to it, you can never give it up!
In order to prevent Ying Zheng from taking power back from him, he even asked Luowang's top killer to assassinate him. In his opinion, it didn't matter who the King of Qin was. As long as he was there, he could lead the Qin State to glory.
The vigorous development of Qin's national strength over the years is the best proof!
As for the matter of the jade glass ball, he quickly sorted out the whole story.
He also knew why Su Xuan wanted to cut off his own source of income.
The result surprised him and made him even more wary of Su Xuan.
A person who can give up millions of dollars in profit must have bigger plans!
He suddenly thought of something and was shocked.
Could it be that the King of Qin secretly went to Han just for him?
His face darkened and his eyes changed constantly, finally turning into a fierce look.
Some things, once started, are doomed to be irreversible!
