Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The Lu family salt shop was deserted for the entire day.

The guys and the shopkeeper inside couldn't help but come out to find trouble.

But there was only one soldier among the soldiers setting up the stall.

With just a few punches, he knocked all the guys from Lu's Salt Shop to the ground.

Later, the police arrived and took away the soldiers who beat people and several guys who were looking for trouble.

But the remaining soldiers under Qin Ming's command were still squatting on the street and hawking their wares.

Now everyone knows that the people running these stalls are not to be messed with.

"Where did these beasts come from?"

In Gusu City, the shopkeeper of the Lu family salt shop looked at the people on the street, his face full of worry.

In the distance, Cao Chen actually didn't leave.

After drinking yesterday, he got up early today and went to the door of the Lu family's largest salt shop to stake out.

Next to him sat a young man.

With a gulp, he drank the tea in front of him and looked at the other person helplessly.

"Lu Yuan, do you have any countermeasures?"

Lu Yuan is the young master of the Lu family of this generation.

Because of the negotiation with Qin Ming last night, the Lu family was affected.

Cao Chen invited Lu Yuan, the young master of the Lu family, today and informed him of Qin Ming's action.

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched and he gave a bitter smile.

"Which inn is the King of Qin in? I'll go find him."

"What are you looking for him for now?"

Cao Chen frowned slightly, his expression a little ugly.

Lu Yuan glanced at him and said in a stiff tone:

"Damn it, this isn't your family's property, right?"

"Can I wait three days, let the salt business be completely destroyed, and then give in?"

"If I go now, he'll be closing his stall tomorrow, and I can still get some refined salt to sell."

The Lu family has no bottom line. They are all businessmen and they will follow whoever can make more money.

Cao Chen's face darkened.

"What about the Xiao family?"

Lu Yuan saw things more clearly than Cao Chen.

When he heard the word "Xiao family", he immediately waved his hand impatiently.

"The Xiao family? What the hell is the Xiao family! They're about to be in trouble, and yet they're trying to take over the cloth shop, hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting themselves by eight hundred. I don't know which idiot came up with this idea."

"Let me ask you, do they have money now?"

“It’s gone…”

Cao Chen also had some understanding of the Xiao family's situation.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan clapped his hands and then spread his hands and said:

"That's it. Now that the salt business is gone, how can those cloth shops of theirs continue to operate?"

"If we can't collect enough money from the salt business, I guess we can't continue!"

"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Leave now. If you do, the Cao family will be buried with you. Don't blame me for not warning you."

After saying that, Lu Yuan took the address of Qin Ming's inn written by Cao Chen and turned away.

Cao Chen's men hurried forward and said:

"Sir, the Lu family has already admitted defeat. What should we do?"

Cao Chen thought for a while, and suddenly put down the tea bowl in his hand.

"Let's go with him."

Soon, at night, Qin Ming and Sun Miao brought Li Youcai into the Xianhe Tower again.

But this time the person who invited us to dinner was not Li Youcai.

Not even Cao Chen.

But it was Lu Yuan.

"Your Highness, I have long heard of your great name, I have long heard of your great name!"

As soon as Lu Yuan saw Qin Ming, he started to brag about business with him for a while.

"Mr. Lu, are you here today to discuss purchasing refined salt from me?"

Qin Ming did not hesitate and directly stated his goal.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately smiled and nodded.

Both sides were smart people and did not mention the unpleasantness that happened during the day.

"Yes, how much can you give?"

"Give me as much as you want."

"Okay then. I'll have someone contact your men when I get back."

"Ah."

"Oh, Your Highness is so open-minded. Don't stop me. I must toast you three cups! Please feel free to do as you please!"

Lu Yuan gulped down three large glasses of wine.

But he was not drunk at the moment.

Having been doing business for many years, he has also dined with many people, so naturally he can drink a lot.

But at this time he acted a little tipsy.

Under the influence of alcohol, he quickly kicked Cao Chen under the table.

"you……"

Cao Chen turned around in confusion, only to find Lu Yuan winking at him.

He had just finished talking to Qin Ming, and even brought Cao Chen with him today.

The purpose was to call him to purchase goods with Qin Ming.

But my good friend seemed to be a little confused and just sat there in silence.

This made Lu Yuan anxious, and he couldn't help but start urging her overtly and covertly.

Qin Ming is Party A, so naturally he would not stoop to begging the Cao family for his things.

So he just kept playing and drinking with the young girl around him and the very approachable Lu Yuan.

Only Cao Chen sat next to him, like an outsider.

At this time, Sun Miao noticed that something was wrong and arranged for people to transport the refined salt over.

He then spoke directly:

"Cao Chen, you two both got similar things, right?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, yes..."

Cao Chen was stunned for a moment, then replied vaguely.

Sun Miao is worthy of being the young master of the Sun family who has been in business for many years.

What you say at this time already presupposes that the other party wants refined salt.

It was done easily and smoothly.

As for Cao Chen, he remained silent throughout.

In fact, we have already relaxed our stance a long time ago.

I just couldn't bring myself to ask Qin Ming for anything.

If you agree vaguely now, you can focus on your work in the future and you won’t lose face.

"Haha, good! Drink, drink!"

Sun Miao immediately smiled and nodded.

Lu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Ming toasted with them until late at night, and finally left the Xianhe Tower with them.

"Alas, being a businessman is not a job for human beings."

Walking on the road, Qin Ming shook his dizzy head, full of emotion.

"This is just the beginning. You'll have to endure more in the next few days."

Sun Miao teased from the side.

Now they just spread refined salt in Gusu City.

There are still many other things that need to be rearranged.

For example, the channels in other main cities and the big families there.

But there is one good thing.

That means Qin Ming and the others no longer have to worry about having difficulty communicating with them.

There are precedents of the Cao and Lu families.

Those big families should unite with Qin Ming soon.

"I'll write a letter to Wan Shu and Fang Qingyuan, asking them to come and help."

After calculating the time, Qin Ming felt that he would not be able to take over the entire Jiangnan region by himself.

It’s better to invite two heavyweights over.

This way he and Sun Miao wouldn't have to work too hard.

If I were to have a social gathering like today's, I would probably drink myself to death.

Sun Miao heard this and nodded slowly:

"Okay, in that case, I'll also arrange for a few managers from the Sun family to help. Half a month is enough time to shut down all of the Xiao family's salt businesses."

They advanced step by step, aiming to completely restrict the Xiao family's means of counterattack.

Even the Xiao family cannot put too much pressure on them now.

That night, when he returned to the inn, Qin Ming wrote a letter and sent it to Lingnan...

At that time, he did not know that during the time he was in Jiangnan, huge changes had also taken place within Lingnan.
