Li Qiu left to make arrangements.
Li Wuyou returned to the house and changed out of his short jacket into casual clothes.
Since he was going to tie these guys together, he had to have a good attitude at the beginning.
He couldn't let them doubt him.
Soon, Li Wuyou came to the living room.
Zhao Sifang and the others were sitting around.
Zhao Sifang and the ancestor of Rich and Prosperous Bank had the highest status, so their seats were at the front.
But when the two saw Li Wuyou appear, they still stood up and respectfully saluted.
"Greetings to Master Li."
"Greetings to the two old gentlemen."
Li Wuyou was as humble as jade, and his attitude was respectful.
He was not as impatient and arrogant as the rumors said.
This made Zhao Sifang and the others feel a little relieved.
"Li Qiu, serve the tea."
Li Wuyou sat down and ordered. Li Qiu also brought the green poplar spring tea and gave it to everyone present.
"Phew!"
Gently taking a sip of the green tea, Li Wuyou smiled and looked at Zhao Sifang, who had the highest status.
Then, he saluted with a smile.
"Old Mister Zhao, did you all come here because of the Li Clan entering Yangzhou City?"
He didn't want to waste time.
So, he went straight to the point.
Let these guys enter the trap as soon as possible!
"Uh …"
Zhao Sifang was stunned by Li Wuyou's question.
He didn't expect the other party to be so direct.
However, everyone was after all people who had seen the world and the wind and waves, so they wouldn't be embarrassed for too long.
Zhao Sifang nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"I'm ashamed to say it."
"All of us here have taken care of our families for decades, and until now, no one has had the chance to enter Yangzhou City."
"On the contrary, it's you, a young junior, who is behind the waves …"
Speaking of this, Zhao Sifang paused for a moment and looked at Li Wuyou.
The latter's face was calm, and nothing could be seen.
Zhao Sifang's eyes flashed for a moment, and he simply said directly.
"We are all very envious."
"To tell you the truth, this time, we all want to share the joy of the Li family and also a share of the pie in Yangzhou City."
"It can be considered as fulfilling the dreams of us old fellows."
"I wonder if Patriarch Li …"
His words were clear.
The next step was to see Li Wuyou's attitude.
Zhao Si Fang's voice slowly weakened, and everyone looked at Li Wuyou with anticipation.
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
Li Wuyou said with a smile.
"Since everyone wants to be frank, then I won't hide anything. The Li family's current situation is very difficult for them to enter Yangzhou City. They can't compete with the other families in Yangzhou City."
"I'm in need of your support."
"Originally, I was planning to personally pay you all a visit."
"I didn't expect … that you would be one step ahead of me."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard Li Wuyou's honest words.
When they came, they were all worried that the Li family wouldn't give them a chance.
After all, taking over Yangzhou City would bring in huge profits.
Who would be willing to share it with others?
He didn't expect the Li family to agree so readily.
"Patriarch Li, you are really broad-minded!"
"This Old Man admires you!"
Zhao Si Fang's heart was filled with admiration as he looked at Li Wuyou.
He was different from the others.
He saw the problem more deeply.
Li Wuyou just said that the Li family needed help. It was just to give everyone a way out.
The Li family had him, a Connate master!
They would never need help.
It was enough for them to enter Yangzhou City. It would be smooth sailing!
Everyone would give them some face.
Bringing the merchant families of Qinghe County was purely out of friendship.
They would help.
Such a junior, such a broad-mindedness really made him feel inferior.
"Since everyone has already made it clear, then I will talk about my idea first."
While everyone was pleasantly surprised, Li Wuyou took a sip of the Green Poplar Spring and continued.
"I plan to join forces and establish a Qinghe Chamber of Commerce."
"Most of the merchants and families in Qinghe County will join forces and enter Yangzhou City together."
"I will deal with the matter of military force."
"Everyone will discuss the matter of business and industry together …"
"As for the president of the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce, I also have a candidate in mind. That is Senior Zhao from the Zhao family. With him as our anchor, I think the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce will definitely be able to stand firm in Yangzhou City."
Hiss!
As Li Wuyou's voice fell, Zhao Si Fang's face suddenly stiffened.
He was surprised once again.
Even the people from the other clans were stunned.
The Li family even gave up the position of the president?
They were really broad-minded.
…
Next.
The meeting in the reception room went quite smoothly.
The main thing was that Li Wuyou basically did not fight for anything.
He gave the majority of the profits, the future distribution of rights and interests, and basically all the good things to everyone present.
At the same time, he also dealt with the more troublesome matters in the chamber of commerce.
For example, the conflict of military force.
For example, the confrontation with the other families and the negotiation.
And so on.
These things that could easily offend people and waste a lot of energy without any benefits were all taken care of.
For a time, everyone admired him.
In the end.
The Qinghe Chamber of Commerce was completely finalized.
Zhao Si Fang was the president.
The ancestor of the Rich and Prosperous Bank and Li Wuyou were the vice presidents.
The rest of the clans and merchants also participated in this.
Each family took out 100,000 taels of silver.
There were a total of ten families.
They gathered one million taels of silver.
For the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce to operate and develop towards Yangzhou City.
At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of these taels of silver and not be used by someone, Li Wuyou came up with a very smart idea.
The taels of silver were all stored in the Rich and Prosperous Bank in Yangzhou City.
This was the largest bank in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was a branch in Yangzhou City.
It had no contact with any of the families in Qinghe County.
It was purely a third party.
When storing the taels of silver, the chamber of commerce had to explain to the Rich and Prosperous Bank.
Anyone who wanted to move these taels of silver had to have the warrant of the three presidents.
Otherwise, these taels of silver could only be placed in the Rich and Prosperous Bank.
This could ensure the safety of the taels of silver to the greatest extent.
…
In the evening.
The sky gradually darkened and the sun was about to set.
Dark red clouds of fire flowed in the sky.
The entire Qinghe County was dyed in a layer of blood.
The meeting of the Li family ended.
Zhao Sifang and the others were personally sent out of the gate of the Li family by Li Wuyou.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy.
They were also full of admiration and respect for the Li family, especially for this young and promising patriarch.
"Young juniors, it's true that the new generation excels the old."
"Whether it is the boldness of his heart or this selfless spirit, it is far from what we old fellows can compare to!"
Zhao Sifang held his walking stick with both hands and looked at the lintel of the Li family, ashamed of his inferiority.
"Yes, if back then …"
The old ancestor of the Rich and Prosperous Bank also sighed slightly and said.
"If we could be like him, let go of the past and work together, wouldn't we have conquered the world in Yangzhou City by now?"
"Why do we have to do this?"
"We are not as good as him!"
Zhao Sifang and the old man looked at each other and shook their heads.
However, very soon.
Both of their eyes lit up again.
"It's not too late now."
"Let's work hard together. In our lifetime, we might be able to see us enter Yangzhou City!"
The two old men stood side by side under the blood-red sunset.
Their faces were filled with hope.
