"What?"
In the reception room of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce headquarters, everyone's expressions changed after hearing Li Ke's words. Before Li Ke had arrived, they had all thought that this cooperation was in the bag. Who would have thought that they would receive such an answer? Li Zexuan had actually rejected them!
"Your Highness, you're saying that the Duke of Yong 'an does not agree to sell the rights to the Curious Pavilion's products to us in the west?"
An Shuncai hesitated for a moment before standing up and asking Li Ke.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly!
"That's right!"
Li Ke nodded, his words as precious as gold.
Ever since he had heard from Li Zexuan that there were merchants from the An and Kang Kingdoms in Taiyuan City who wanted to harm Li Tai, Li Ke had begun to dislike these nine surnamed Hu merchants. Although they could bring substantial benefits to the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce, under these circumstances, he still had to make do with money!
"May I ask Your Highness, why did Marquis not agree? Is it because the price is too low, or does he have other concerns? We have come with sincerity. If Marquis is dissatisfied with anything, we can discuss it further! "
Hearing Li Ke's confirmation again, An Shuncai and the rest could not help but look at each other, their hearts chilled. After taking a deep breath, as the representative of the nine surnamed Hu merchants, An Shuncai cupped his hands and asked again.
He had to understand the reason Li Zexuan had rejected them, and whether there was any room for negotiation. He was not afraid that Li Zexuan had rejected them because the price was too low. If that was the case, they could have increased the price even more. An Shuncai felt that it was worth it even if they doubled the price. This was because the Curious Pavilion's products were all extremely profitable. After they obtained the rights, they could earn back their capital within a year!
What An Shuncai was truly afraid of was that there was no room for negotiation!
Kang Fuliang and the others clearly understood this. At this moment, their eyes were all fixed on Li Ke. Li Ke's next words would determine whether their future business would be smooth sailing!
As for Cao Wendong, Lin Wenyuan, and the other members of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce, they were all extremely happy. This was because if Li Zexuan did not work with these Hu merchants, then the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce members would not be able to reduce their share of the goods from the Curious Pavilion. Moreover, when their power grew, they could sell the goods from the Curious Pavilion to the various countries in the Western Region. Who said that they could not expand their business to other countries? At that time, they might even be able to completely annex and replace the nine surnamed Hu merchants!
They were the Nine Families of Zhao Wu, famous for their business! It was said that some of the Hu merchants had businesses in more than a dozen countries, and their wealth was enormous. When they thought that they would have a chance to surpass and replace these Hu merchants, Cao Wendong, Lin Wenyuan, and the others were all excited. They were secretly glad that they had followed the right 'boss'!
"Sir, the matter of cooperation is absolutely impossible! Not only that, from today onwards, the Yan Huang Bank within the Great Tang's borders will no longer provide any services to the merchants of the Kang and An Kingdoms, including lending, storing, and exchanging Tang dollars. This will continue until the King of the Kang and An Kingdoms give the Great Tang a satisfactory explanation! "
Li Ke's eyes were like lightning as he stared straight at An Shuncai. The majesty of a king was unknowingly revealed as he spoke in a low voice.
