Chapter 38 Rejection
Gongsun Ao was controlled by Zhou Deren and in the territory of Xihecheng, Gongsun Ao did not dare to resist more. Gongsun Ao then restrained the temper of some big families and felt a cold sweat from his forehead. If this prince Sichuan was more cruel, he would probably have taken action directly.
After half an hour, Yang Yichuan took Xiaoxiang and Liuli downstairs and saw Zhou Deren and Gongsun Ao who was sitting opposite Zhou Deren.
Yang Yichuan glanced at Gongsun Ao. He was indeed dressed like a big young man, but now he seemed a little cringe-in. Could it be that Zhou Deren did it and scared Gongsun Ao?
"You are the one who wants to find me?" Zhou Deren noticed that Gongsun Ao was not a fool, and he could guess that this young man was Prince Sichuan.
"Gongsun Ao, the Gongsun family of the Gongsun family in Chang'an City, Changzhou, has met His Highness Prince Chuan." Gongsun Ao was quite respectful in front of Yang Yichuan, especially Zhou Deren was still there.
"Well, people from Chang'an City come to Xihecheng to find me. Is there anything wrong?" Yang Yichuan was not polite and sat down directly, signaling Gongsun Ao to sit down too.
After Gongsun Ao sat down, he also relaxed. Looking at this, Yang Yichuan was not a beast that could eat people. However, Gongsun Ao still had a sense of fear. He knew people and face but not the heart. He was more cautious, especially for people like Yang Yichuan, he dared not relax.
"Your Highness, I came to Xihecheng for the Xihe Chamber of Commerce. Our Gongsun family is very interested."
"Oh, let's talk about it, what's the way to be interested?" Yang Yichuan had long expected that the Xihe Chamber of Commerce would be excluded by local families in other states and be attracted, openly or secretly. Of course, there would also be some foreign families who were interested in these products and came to Xihe City to find Yang Yichuan to cooperate with it.
The Gongsun family was the first to come to the door. Changzhou is next to Xihezhou, but it is much richer than Xihezhou. No wonder it came so quickly.
"Our Gongsun family is in Chang'an City, and even Changzhou is a famous big family. One family is as good as your Xihe City. You can sell the goods to our Gongsun family. Our Gongsun family in Chang'an City is much more reliable than the Xihe Chamber of Commerce."
"It is not impossible to sell large quantities to your Gongsun family. Join the Chamber of Commerce and follow the rules of the Chamber of Commerce." Yang Yichuan's natural way, this so-called rule has no restrictions on the Gongsun family in Chang'an City.
"This magical goods are very rare, and even the Chamber of Commerce cannot satisfy them, let alone sell them to people outside the Chamber of Commerce. Do you think so?"
Gongsun Ao also did some homework, and naturally knew that these products were not only magical, but also could be sold at such a high price. There is another reason, that is, things are rare and expensive.
"Of course, Prince Nachuan, what can we do if our Gongsun family wants to join the Chamber of Commerce?" Gongsun Ao continued to complete his tasks. Getting these goods means a large amount of wealth and means that the Gongsun family is richer.
"Well, if you join the Chamber of Commerce, you should pay one million taels of silver as a deposit first. If you violate the Chamber of Commerce's regulations and expel it from the Chamber of Commerce, not only will the goods be lost in the future, but the deposit will not be refunded." After Yang Yichuan said, Gongsun Ao's face looked so ugly.
"Million taels of silver? If the Chamber of Commerce is violated, they will be kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce directly." Gongsun Ao's face looked ugly. Yang Yichuan was obviously making things difficult for the Gongsun family. Gongsun Ao had never heard that the Xihecheng family would pay this million taels of silver.
Gongsun Ao said coldly, "Your Highness Prince Sichuan, I haven't heard that Xihecheng's family needs to pay this deposit to join the Chamber of Commerce. Why does our Gongsun family need it? Could it be that Your Highness Prince Sichuan wants to treat us outsiders differently?"
After hearing this, Yang Yichuan smiled, "Don't you know that their families are from Xihecheng? In other words, they all use their lives as a guarantee. If your Gongsun family does not use any valuable things as a guarantee, I am very worried that you will change your mind then."
Gongsun Ao was about to say a lot of things and said that his Gongsun family was very trustworthy, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Yang Yichuan, "I know you must have wanted to say that your Gongsun family is very trustworthy, but your Chang'an City is far away from me. Even if you turn your back on your face, I can't help you, right?"
"Then why can't we sell it to our Gongsun family? Our Gongsun family is willing to acquire it at a price of 20% higher."
Yang Yichuan was too lazy to pay attention to Gongsun Ao, why are you a little stupid? 20%? After buying it, you will sell it at a high price, and the profit is more than 20%? If Yang Yichuan really wants to make all his money, what else can he do? It’s not that for Xihecheng to make common prosperity and make all the money outside into Xihecheng. It doesn’t matter if he is a little less.
However, the Gongsun family is different. First, it is not in Xihecheng, and secondly, it is not under control. For its own interests, it is very likely to be sold at a high price, which will affect the reputation of its chamber of commerce.
Seeing that Yang Yichuan didn't seem to want to sell these things to the Gongsun family, Gongsun Ao gritted his teeth and didn't know how many times he scolded Yang Yichuan. But Gongsun Ao still didn't want to give up and planned to make this happen, so that his father Gongsun Wuchang could take a good look at his abilities.
"Your Highness Prince Chuan, is there really no other way? You know, our Gongsun family is a good partner. There are other places in Chang'an City, and there are many other forces. It is difficult to survive. Moreover, how do you know that the members of your chamber of commerce will do things according to your requirements? So, it is better to cooperate strongly. However, if we raise the price, you make a lot of money, our Gongsun family can also make a lot of profits, so why not do it?"
Gongsun Ao really tried his best to do it, and there was even a hint of threat in his words. Yang Yichuan wanted to manage Chang'an City, Beiyuan City, and even further away Nanling City, which was beyond the reach of Yang Yichuan. The small movements behind these families were definitely inevitable. After Yang Yichuan told Lin Tu about training, he also asked Lin Tu to help train a group of secret guards, and then he was responsible for supervising the chamber of commerce in other places, and inquire about the news.
This secret guard will definitely continue to grow in the future. This supervision chamber is just a trivial matter, and it can also be said to be the initial task and trial of the secret guard.
"No need to say more. If an foreign family wants to join the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, they can only pay one million taels of silver as a deposit first. If they don't agree, there is nothing to discuss."
Yang Yichuan got up and left, and Gongsun Ao naturally had no good expression. Yang Yichuan could be said to be unable to get in. If the Gongsun family wants to intervene in these businesses, they cannot start with Yang Yichuan.
"Hmph, these big families want to get a share of the pie, but they are all in other places, so I can't control them. They can't receive their commercial taxes. They don't want to pay, they just want to get benefits. They're just trying to make a fuss." Even if Yang Yichuan is not good at power and does not know how to scheming, he will not be able to get benefits in vain.
Giving these local families to collect commercial taxes at that time can also be used to develop and build Xihe City. Giving these outsiders is to give them the opportunity to make money, so it is better to put all the money on yourself. There are too many places that require spending money. The development and construction of Xihe City requires astronomical figures, not to mention that Yang Yichuan’s purpose is to be the whole country.
