Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

There was some hesitation on Zhou Ci's face.

In fact, he had already reported Qin Ming's request to meet with Mr. Shang.

But their elusive President Shang is running around everywhere all day long.

No one knows whether he will come.

Up to now, Zhou Ci has not even received a reply.

It was just a few business managers from the gang who decided to cut off the supply to Qin Ming after discussion.

The information received from Mr. Shang intimidated local merchants who were secretly doing business with Qin Ming.

Qin Ming's cloth shop was paralyzed.

Now they can be said to have achieved complete victory.

Zhou Ci thought about it and still didn't want to offend Qin Ming too much, so he gave a solution.

"Your Highness, you should hand over the loom as soon as possible. The right way is for us to make money together."

"Otherwise, the goods in our market will be unsaleable just like you are now."

This is arguably the best solution.

Unfortunately, the person he met was Qin Ming.

"Call your business manager and I'll give it to you."

Qin Ming had worked hard to find a way out, so he definitely wouldn't give it to them.

This is also a delaying tactic.

"Let me try again."

Zhou Ci hesitated, and Qin Ming suddenly felt something was wrong.

"At your level... have you ever met the president of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce?"

I should have thought of it earlier.

The reason Zhou Ci didn't solve the problem for so long wasn't because he didn't want to solve it.

But his level is not high enough.

Maybe it would be difficult to even meet a business manager.

Not to mention Mr. Shang.

Sure enough, after Qin Ming asked this question, Zhou Ci looked a little embarrassed, but still told the truth:

"No."

"Who have you been in contact with recently?"

"It's a girl assigned by the higher-ups."

"Oh."

Qin Ming had already guessed the other party's identity.

"Call her over here. I want to see her."

"I can't call you."

After the showdown just now, Zhou Ci stopped pretending and told the truth with his hands spread out.

"As the boss of a branch of the Chamber of Commerce, can you achieve this?"

"Your Highness, Linjiang City doesn't have much money to begin with. It wouldn't be like this if I were to manage a branch in any of the cities in Lake West."

Zhou Ci made an argument, but it was weak.

"Huxi..."

Across the border between Huguang is Huxi, which is Xiao Qinian's sphere of influence.

It’s just that the last time Qin Ming caused a big fuss in Xiasha City, he used Xiao Qinian’s evidence as a threat.

Xiao Qinian has always been very calm and never caused any trouble.

"If you report this, then if no one comes, I will take over Lingnan's business by force."

"Your Highness, how could you do this!"

Zhou Ci glared at Qin Ming angrily.

However, the army was in Qin Ming's hands, and even Zhou Ci could not stop it.

They really can't tell the difference between the big and small kings.

He doesn't have anyone who can fight, yet he dares to stop Qin Ming's business.

Since leaving the imperial court, Qin Ming has been free from all taboos.

His greatest wish is to build an army that can sweep away everything.

It wouldn't hurt to sacrifice a chamber of commerce for this.

Of course, the prerequisite for sacrifice is that they really want to fight Qin Ming to the end.

"Are you looking for me?"

Just as Qin Ming opened his mouth to threaten them and was about to do something shameless to them.

A voice came from behind.

Turning around, Qin Ming saw a beautiful figure.

After taking off her coarse linen clothes, Wan Shu was now wearing a light yellow long skirt, her figure was graceful and beautiful.

She put some light rouge and powder on her face.

There is a sense of temptation in the beauty, which is a very contrasting look.

It's totally different from the gentle and weak appearance she pretended to have before!

Damn, here comes the culprit.

He is indeed an actor.

Qin Ming, who has played the role of countless people, suddenly found himself being played by someone else.

And this person was standing in front of him.

Suddenly, anger rose in my heart.

Qin Ming resisted the urge to pin her to the ground and spank her.

"Go out and talk?"

"Ah."

Wan Shu followed Qin Ming into the teahouse next door.

The two of them found a private room on the second floor and sat down.

"You can tell me anything, I can help the Chamber of Commerce make some decisions."

Wan Shu looked at Qin Ming with a charming smile.

It’s hard to imagine that this is just a girl in her twenties.

"I can't give you a loom, but I can give you something else."

"For example, the method of purifying salt, the production of cooking oil, soy sauce, and MSG, etc..."

Qin Ming told Wan Shu his thoughts.

Seasonings and other things are very scarce in this day and age. If this kind of supplementary food industry can be developed, a lot of money can be made.

After listening to Qin Ming's description, Wan Shu roughly understood his skills.

"Of all the things you mentioned, except for salt, which makes a lot of money, none of the others can compare to weaving."

"Salt is still strictly controlled by the imperial court. The foundations of the salt merchants are much deeper than our Lingnan Chamber of Commerce. No one dares to challenge them, let alone steal their business."

"By then, not only will the salt merchants not allow it, but the imperial court will definitely not allow it either."

Wan Shu's answer surprised Qin Ming even more.

I thought she was just an ancient commercial spy, here to gather some intelligence.

I didn’t expect Wan Shu to know so much.

I can't fool you...

Seeing that Qin Ming was unwilling to share the interests at hand, Wan Shu said:

"Xiao Tiance will be here tomorrow. The major tribes of the southern barbarians have already started to take action."

"They will take advantage of the change of military power to attack you."

"Ok?"

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.

"Alas, the border is not easy to guard."

"It's just that we have no money, no food, and no weapons. The worst that can happen to me is that I will die fighting on the frontier, wrapped in my horse's hide."

While sighing, Qin Ming glanced at Wan Shu's expression.

But I found that the other party was not moved at all.

Come to think of it, national hatred, family feuds, etc. have had little to do with these businessmen since ancient times.

Some businessmen even look forward to war so that they can make a fortune from it.

"Your Highness, please stop pretending."

Wan Shu rolled his eyes at him helplessly.

Compared to himself, this prince's acting skills in gaining sympathy are too poor.

"If you have any other good ideas, just tell me directly. If you can satisfy Mr. Shang, the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce can still help you if this war really breaks out."

“Is your transportation good?”

After thinking carefully about the news of the invasion of the southern barbarians.

Qin Ming suddenly asked a nonsensical question.

"is acceptable."

"Alright? Damn it!"

Qin Ming dipped his hands in tea and began to introduce a new idea of ​​his to Wan Shu enthusiastically like a salesman.

"I can make you a tire that can reduce vibrations when driving on bumpy roads and reduce the damage to your goods."

"This is a good thing that will benefit the present and future generations."

After Qin Ming's explanation, Wan Shu finally understood the benefits of tires.

When paired with a horse-drawn carriage, it not only improves grip and allows for faster travel, but also reduces the loss of goods during travel.

To be honest, Wan Shu was a little moved.

The improvement in transportation efficiency is a temptation that no businessman can refuse.

This is consistent with the saying that if you want to get rich, build roads first.

"But how do we make this tire you mentioned?"

Wan Shu saw that Qin Ming was being mysterious for a long time and still hadn't explained clearly, so she couldn't help but ask.

"This is simple. The material is called rubber, and it's found in large quantities in the southern mountains and forests."

"How about this? Help me fight the Nanman, and I'll make it for you."

Qin Ming spoke with a smile and took the initiative again.
