Beep, beep, beep ~!
In the Black Armored Army's camp, the soldiers had already woken up and were doing morning exercises. Li Zexuan didn't do morning exercises with the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion because Bao Lin came to inform him that the telegraph had rung. Thus, he quickly returned to his tent to receive the telegram.
"It's Little Ke!"
Li Zexuan originally thought that it was Iron Egg who sent the telegram, but after confirming the identity of the person on the other end, he realized that the person who sent the telegram was actually Li Ke!
Li Zexuan couldn't help but feel curious. Why would Li Ke send a telegram at this time? Could it be that something happened at the bank?
Beep, beep, beep ~!
Forcefully suppressing his curiosity, Li Zexuan calmed himself down and focused on the code sent by Li Ke. Speaking of which, he didn't need to take notes when receiving telegrams. He completely listened with his ears and 'translated' it in his mind.
"Chang 'an Hu merchants An Shuncai, Kang Fuliang, and others are willing to pay a huge sum of 50,000 strings of cash to purchase the rights to the Strange Taste Pavilion's products and the Western Regions from the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce. Since Mister isn't in the chamber of commerce, Boss Lin, Boss Cao, and Faubert don't dare to make a decision on their own. They specially sent a student to ask if Mister would like to cooperate with these Hu merchants!"
After listening to the telegram, Li Zexuan couldn't help but sneer. "Hmph! I was planning to settle the score with you guys after the Taiyuan incident, but I didn't expect you guys to come knocking on my door so quickly! An Shuncai, does this An Shuncai have anything to do with An Shunshan … "
In the telegram sent by Iron Egg last night, other than describing Xuan Ye and Tian Ying's failure to break out of the prison, he also roughly told him about the chaos in Taiyuan City in the past few days. This included Kang Qu colluding with the Kang merchants to hoard food, inciting civil unrest, and An Shunshan colluding with the Turkic spies to wreak havoc in Taiyuan.
These Hu merchants had relied on the fact that they had been operating in the Central Plains for many years and had vast resources and influence to dare to play dirty tricks and oppose the authorities. Whether they had done it intentionally or not, they had directly or indirectly helped the Turkic spies and made it very difficult for Li Zexuan to rescue Li Tai. One could say that Li Zexuan hated these people to the bone!
Li Zexuan was now in the military camp, and Li Tai hadn't been rescued yet, so he didn't have the heart to retaliate against the Nine Families of Zhaowu. But he didn't expect that those people would actually "deliver themselves to his door". How could he let them go?
Others might be afraid of the Nine Families of Zhao Wu, but Li Zexuan had the backing of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce, Curious Pavilion Workshop, Yanhuang College, and the Yan Huang Bank! Strictly speaking, his current power and the financial resources he could mobilize were no less than the Nine Families of Zhao Wu!
More importantly, his mind was filled with the knowledge of the twenty-first century. Knowledge was priceless, and with this advanced knowledge, he could casually create many products that the people of this era would scramble for. For example, the glassware and bicycles produced by the Curious Pavilion Workshop, electric lamps, toilet paper, and so on!
In the future, perfume, soap, radios, and other "must-make products for transmigrators" would also be created by him or his students. Each of these products would bring in a massive amount of wealth.
But what about those Hu merchants of the Nine Families? As the Sute region was located at the throat of the Silk Road, the Nine Families of Zhaowu, the Sutes, naturally became a people with a tradition of doing business. To put it bluntly, they were hereditary "middlemen". They sold China's silk to the West, and the West's gems and wine to the Tang Dynasty. These people only knew how to buy and sell, and they had no skill to speak of. They would eventually be eliminated by the times!
Perhaps this was why they were willing to spend so much money to buy the right to market the products of the Curious Pavilion Workshop. They could see that the products of the Curious Pavilion were irreplaceable and that there was a massive business opportunity behind them!
Beep beep beep beep!
"Tell them that it's impossible for us to work together! Not only that, from now on, the Yan Huang Bank in the Tang Dynasty will no longer provide any services to the merchants of the Kang Kingdom and the An Kingdom! "
