Sometimes, when people reached a consensus, whether the judgment was true or not, whether it was right or wrong, was not important.
"Doing business is different from doing other things, and it is the same. When everyone thinks that you're finished, then you're really finished. "
The old man leaned on the chair and said slowly, "Confidence, confidence is very important. Your own confidence, the confidence of others in you. "
Qingxi was already very old.
The deep wrinkles on his face, the scattered age spots, all spoke of the passage of time. That was either history or a story.
In recent years, the Four Seas Business Alliance was like the sun setting over the horizon.
But the sun did not fall, and the night did not come.
Many people thought that the Four Seas Business Alliance was old. It had a long history, and of course it had the aura of the past.
Qingxi's era should be in the past, but he truly existed in the present.
How long had he been the head of the Four Seas Business Alliance?
This question was asked to many people, even those in the Four Seas Business Alliance. Many people did not have the answer.
Because it had been too long.
When many people knew about the Four Seas Business Alliance, Qingxi was already the head of the Four Seas Business Alliance.
"Qingxi and the Four Seas Business Alliance are the same, they are past their prime, and the night is coming." This was Su She's evaluation.
The last sentence was that the Jubao Merchants were like the rising sun, and would light up the sky after the night.
However, it was too late.
The Four Seas Business Alliance's biggest crisis in recent years was in Yang Country.
They wanted to monopolize the business of rebuilding Yang Country, sucking the blood of the people to support themselves.
But they did not expect the Battle of Qiyang to erupt unexpectedly. The Jubao Merchants were targeted by Chongxuan and Chu Liang, while the Jubao Merchants bet on the Junggenjia and won a lot.
The huge investment in Yang Country went down the drain, and they suffered heavy losses. Even the first deacon Fu Miao personally went to the army camp to discuss, but he was unable to recover the losses. Instead, one of his ears was cut off, and he lost all face.
Facing the Junggenjia, who had two Marquises after the war, the Four Seas Business Alliance kept silent. They swallowed their teeth and endured the losses.
In the beginning, the Four Seas Trade Alliance was a loose alliance formed by a total of 18 merchant guilds. The management system was the result of the power structure at that time.
Up till now, the twelve First Class Deacons still represented the highest will of the Four Seas Business Alliance. However, the names of the merchant guilds from before were gradually forgotten.
All along, Qing Xi's control over the Four Seas Business Alliance was unquestionable. However, in recent years, things had indeed changed.
Perhaps they were no longer as concerned about the affairs of the merchant alliance, or perhaps they were no longer as capable as they wished … In short, there were many voices within the Four Seas merchant alliance.
At that time, the Four Seas Commerce Alliance's main opinion was to take revenge at all costs. The Four Seas Commerce Alliance's position in the business world was not to be challenged. It was Qing Xi who forcefully suppressed this matter.
It was also because of this decision that many people saw that Qing Xi still had the power to make decisions for the merchant alliance.
It was also because of this correct decision that the Four Seas Business Alliance was able to survive the crisis smoothly. When Chung Geng Sheng and the Jubao Merchants turned against each other, and when the Jubao Merchants suffered heavy losses, the Four Seas Business Alliance was able to reap the benefits.
Qing Xi's prestige was also established once again.
For many years, the Four Seas Business Alliance had its ups and downs, but it was still the number one merchant guild in Qi.
Fu Mou stood respectfully at the side. With one of his ears cut off, he was able to listen better. "At this time, who is destroying the confidence of the Jubao Merchants?"
"Chung Geng Sheng, Wang Yiwu, those small merchant guilds that have been working together recently … there are too many possibilities." Qing Xi said slowly. "Of course, it could also be us."
"Wang Yiwu?"
Fu Mou could understand if it was Chung Geng Sheng or the Four Seas Business Alliance behind this matter. It was even possible that it was those small merchant guilds. After all, the market had been stable for so long. They were only able to squeeze in after the giants fell.
But … Wang Yiwu?
Qing Xi raised his hand and did not explain. "The Four Seas Business Alliance is the same as me. They are old and their teeth are not good. I let them eat as much as they want, but they did not eat too much. "
He sighed. "Whether it is in terms of foresight or ability to execute, they are much worse than Chung Geng Sheng."
"You are old but strong." Fu Mou said respectfully. "If you were to appear, the situation would be different."
But he did not think so in his heart.
The Business Alliance's actions in the Yang Lands were ugly and rotten … Although Fu Mou was also involved, he was very clear. Those actions had completely deviated from the Four Seas Business Alliance's past. It was not that the Four Seas Business Alliance had always been righteous and kind. But in the past, the Four Seas Business Alliance would never be so brazen and ugly.
He could see it clearly. The other managers were not fools. Who could not see it clearly? They did not want to see it or did not care. They only cared about themselves and what was in front of them.
The current Four Seas Business Alliance was indeed bloated and full of rotten meat.
Although Qing Xi was in charge of the direction, it was hard to say that he was still able to command the specific matters. Perhaps … Qing Xi only made the decision to cooperate with Zhong Xuan Sheng, but didn't show up for other specific matters. Perhaps it was to cover up this point.
Of course, Fu Mou only dared to think about this in his heart. He did not dare to say it out loud.
Qing Xi did not comment. He did not seem to see through Fu Mou's insincerity. He slowly closed his eyes and ordered, "Go and do your work."
What he wanted him to do was naturally to cooperate with the news that had already appeared. He wanted the Jubao Merchants' "desperate situation" to be known to the public.
Fu Mou understood tacitly. He gently tucked in the blanket for the old Alliance Master and then quietly left.
This small courtyard had been around for a long time. The smell of time floated in the air.
When he reached the door, he suddenly felt that his joints were a little sluggish. He almost could not move his legs … but he quickly recovered.
I've been too nervous recently. He thought.
…
The Grand Marshal's Residence.
When Wang Yiwu walked in, Wen Lianmu was still fiddling with the chess pieces. He took a closer look and saw that the black and white pieces on the chessboard were arranged into two words, "Wen Lianmu". The word "Mu" was also arranged halfway.
Wang Yiwu could not help but say, "Nowadays, three-year-old children don't play like this."
Wen Lianmu curled his lips, "I'm not your senior. What's the point of playing chess with yourself? Have you finished dealing with the conflict in the army? "
"It's nothing." Wang Yiwu played it down and asked, "Has the news been released?"
Wen Lianmu knew that he was talking about the Seven Stars Tower. He stopped playing chess and looked up at him, "This news was not released by us. Chung Geng Sheng spent a lot of effort to 'find' it. It's up to him to decide. "
Wang Yiwu nodded to show his approval, "What about the Jubao Merchants?"
Wen Lianmu did not comment, "Did Su She look for you?"
"Yes."
"What do you think?"
"The cooperation with the Jubao Merchants was Ah Zun's decision. Although I can't contact him now, this is his business. Of course, I have to respect his opinion. "
"Help Su She?"
Wang Yiwu nodded, "That's right."
"Maintain the cooperation, stop Chung Geng Sheng's scheme, and consolidate the market …" Wen Lianmu nodded, "Well, it's reasonable."
Wang Yiwu did not say anything and waited for him to continue.
"Then you can go."
Wang Yiwu paused. He was obviously surprised that Wen Lianmu did not stop him.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What about you? What are you going to do? "
"You're going to help Su She and build up his confidence. In short, if you can help, do it. If you can't, don't force yourself. "
Wen Lianmu smiled, "As for me …"
He picked up the chess piece and continued to arrange the unfinished word "Mu".
"I'll help bury him."
