Chapter 071

Lin Hong glanced at the seat, and then glanced at the businessmen sitting there, many of whom were younger than him and whose business scale was not as large as his. The arrangement of the last seat was probably unreasonable.

Lin Hong wandered around the courtyard between the banquets, "This Xueyinhan building is really magnificent. Today is an eye-opener. It is indeed the work of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."

He waved the red gilded invitation card in his hand as if unintentionally, tapped the last seat lightly with his fingertips, deliberately showing joy, "The seats here are really worthy of this red gilded invitation card." invitation."

He put the invitation card on the table, brushed off his robe and sat down at the last seat. He looked at everyone with his black and white eyes, and when he bent slightly, his eyes waved away, harmless to humans and animals, "I don't know how to be polite. There is something inappropriate, my lords forgive me."

The sensible people present fell silent.

The chamber of commerce invites are divided into red rolling gold and black hot silver, red rolling gold is the highest gift, and black silver hot second.

What Ma Chengquan sent him was red rolling gold. If he didn't come, there would be more reasons to criticize him, but now that he came, he was given the last place.

The "boy doesn't know how to be polite" in Lin Hong's words probably refers not to himself but to the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. He sat down regardless, and the "adult Haihan" is probably referring to himself.

Ma Chengquan wanted to humiliate him, seeing that Lu Fu from this small town blushed.Unexpectedly, the slap from the other side left him speechless.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and seeing Lin Hong's really ignorant face, they were all wondering whether he did it on purpose or not.

In the business world, he, Ma Chengquan, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This time he has to take over, "It's just a joke, Boss Lin really doesn't understand, why did he sit down. Come, welcome Boss Lin to the guest seat."

It was nothing more than following the meaning of Lin Hong's words, and laughed at him because he didn't understand etiquette and couldn't see the last place.

Lin Hong laughed, stood up, and looked at Ma Chengquan, "Boss Ma is really funny and magnanimous, which is really different from the rumors. If I jokingly wanted to sit in your seat, you must not be as knowledgeable as me."

The audience fell silent again.

In this way, the rumored Boss Ma is neither funny nor generous, and the only ones who can get the rumor out are everyone here.

The joke in the second half of the sentence was indeed inappropriate, but after Ma Chengquan's "joke", no matter how many people accused Lin Hong, they would still scold him at Ma Chengquan's head every sentence, so no one dared to speak.

What's more, if Ma Chengquan wanted to make a fuss, he would be based on the "rumor". Moreover, Lin Hong used "if".

The other big names in the chief seat did not help Ma Chengquan take over.They don't care what Ma Chengquan wants to do, but now they have swept the face of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and they feel a little bit off.

Zhu Lishu laughed lowly beside him, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Under the guidance of the maid, Lin Hong went to the honored guest and sat down gracefully.

Ma Chengquan didn't find fault with Lin Hong any more, and announced the start of the banquet with a few flashy and hypocritical phrases.

The guests complimented me several times, wearing gold and silver, and having a big belly.The flattering attitude is nothing more than a good dancer with long sleeves, and is more affectionate than a dancer who appears on stage.

Lin Hong was not interested in the singing, dancing, wine and meat at the banquet at the moment, and he didn't even notice that the maid who served him the dishes was flirting with him.

In a daze, the singing, dancing, drinking and meat in front of him reminded him of the soldiers on the frontier... The south of Jiangnan was blocked, so I don't know what's going on at Wan Guchuan.

I actually want to go to the ghost world...

Lin Hong's chopsticks stuck into a piece of sauced pork knuckle.

After the singing and dancing, it was the analysis of the business situation by several big names - outdated and narrow, which was of no benefit to Lin Hong; the so-called exclusive business sharing was also something he had been familiar with for a long time.

Lin Hong was bored.

The banquet reached its climax again, talking in twos and threes, and changing cups and cups.

"The younger generation is awesome! Mr. Ma is a dragon and a phoenix!" The voice was high-pitched and laughing, overwhelming all other conversations.

Responding to his gentle and polite voice, "Uncle Miao Zan."

Lin Hong raised his head and looked over.

Sitting among the honored guests closest to the main seat was a young man in a brocade robe and jade robe, with three white eyes, eyebrows raised like knives, and a smile on his lips.During the banquet, he looked generous and courteous, but Lin Hong saw through his perverseness and flirtatiousness at a glance-has Lin Hong not known such a young master?

——It was Ma Chengquan's eldest son, Ma Yumo.

"Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has added Lu Biao! Congratulations!" The people around were still complimenting.

"Yes! The first in Jiangnan! It deserves its name!"

"Where is 'truth'?" The clear voice pierced into the loud and smooth laughter.

Dozens of pairs of eyes cast over.

The handsome young man propped his head up, his black hair poured like a waterfall, there was a clear spring in his eyes, and there was a smile on his thin lips.

"'Really' is the escort agency of the Ma family, the escort agency of the chamber of commerce." Someone retorted.

Lin Hong laughed, "It's just a 'name', so you still haven't answered my question."

Someone laughed, "Isn't the truth behind the Ma family's centuries-old brand?"

"I've only heard that Ma's silk has been around for hundreds of years, but in terms of water darts, it can't compete with Boss Li's 'Weihong Escort Bureau'. How dare Lu Biao be number one?" Lin Hong withdrew his hand and leaned on the back of the chair, " What's more, Mr. Ma's Lu Biao has not opened yet, so I'm afraid it's even more unreal."

Li Ridong looked at him with interest.

"Don't speak wild words here! You..."

"What do you say?" Ma Yumo cut off the unreasonable scolding, and looked at Lin Hong, "Mr. Lin thinks I stole your title?"

Lin Hong felt amused by his direct questioning, he was too impatient, "Don't dare to claim to be big. I just raised my doubts. Since I think there is 'truth', why are you afraid of doubts?" He saw the scolding Glance at his people.

"It's just unreasonable to stand up." Someone laughed.

"arrogant."

"I don't know why Boss Lin questioned it." Ma Chengquan said, "I'm afraid it's a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules of Jiangnan."

The man cast his deep eyes over, full of contempt, "My Ma family's bodyguard bureau is not as good as Li's, and I can't get a good name, but the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is the authority. Now the 'Luma Bodyguard Bureau' is the first Luma bodyguard bureau to enter the chamber of commerce. What do you think is wrong with 'Jiangnan Landguard First Company'?"

Conscious that the "Ma family" could not suppress people, they moved out of the "Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce".

Lin Hong smiled, "What an authority, he proclaims himself king, and he doesn't even know what's right and what's wrong!"

The people mourned.

"Huangkou kid is so unreasonable!" Jiang Nanchu couldn't sit still when he scolded Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Hong was unmoved, and his tone was still calm but aggressive, "Everything in the world is soil, so why do merchants in the world want to have a second level of appraisal by the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Furthermore, when the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce was founded, didn't it raise the banner of 'sweeping the injustices in the business world, clearing up the universe'? Why? Now that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is only covering the sky with its hands, the universe is not clear?"

Lin Hong looked directly into Ma Chengquan's sharp eyes, "The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce that Boss Ma showed me is just a gang of bandits who lured Jin He to him and took advantage of it."

Everyone started whispering.Many of them were suppressed by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Under the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, it is difficult for small businesses to do business.

With a smile on his lips, Zhu Lishu leaned on the chair and watched silently.

"Zhuzi is ignorant? You are not afraid to make a joke when you say it." Li Ridong smiled, "Without the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, what a mess the business district in Jiangnan would be!"

Lin Hong brushed off the pastry crumbs on his robe, "It's too much."

Jiang Nanchu sneered, "What should the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce do, and you still need to teach it?"

"Everyone knows it in their hearts, it's useless to talk too much." Lin Hong looked at him.

"What's wrong with you? You just think that I stole your title of 'Jiangnan Landguard's No. [-]'." Ma Yumo said again, "Why don't you compare me fairly."

Lin Hong raised his eyebrows, "What do you think? I just don't like this style. 'The No. [-] Escort in Jiangnan', do you want it? Send it to you."

Lin Hong tilted his head, "What I want is 'The No. [-] Land Bodyguard in the World'."

Everyone was shocked.

Someone laughed.

"Yellow mouth child! The tone is not small!"

"You think too highly of yourself!"

"It's going to be a joke!"

"I thought that Boss Lin just didn't understand the rules of Jiangnan, but I didn't expect that he didn't even understand the rules of the business world." Ma Chengquan sneered, "Whoever controls the capital has the right to speak. You are not deeply involved in the world, so take your eyes off you." Accept. Everything goes well in this world. A few words of yours can't shake anything."

Lin Hong smiled, "It's not up to you whether you can shake it or not." He glanced at all the businessmen present, and then at Ma Chengquan, "However, I didn't come here today to chat with you. Kung Fu."

"—I'm here to discuss business."

"Hahahaha six big bosses, want to discuss business with you?"

"Speak wild words!"

Lin Hong ignored those earnest investigations and continued: "Jiangnan has been prosperous since ancient times, but the earliest official and commercial system of 'industry and food officials' (Note 1) also emerged in the capital. Compared with the capital, Jiangnan's business is nothing compared to the capital."

"Boss Jiang's wine, Boss Xia's jewelry, Boss Ma's silk, and the goods of all the bosses here are probably going to the capital and sold to the royal nobles of the capital, right?"

Lin Hong looked at them, "The northern waters belong to the government, not to mention Boss Ma's water darts, even Boss Li's water darts can only reach the south of the Yellow Sea. The goods are placed in Qidu."

"The terrain of Qidu is steep, the goods are easily damaged, and bandits are entrenched. Generally, land escorts cannot reach it, and only the 'Shanhai Security Bureau' dares to take risks. Therefore, the short mountain journey is expensive."

Lin Hong tapped the table with his fingertips, "I'm afraid this price is not very satisfactory. The Shanhai Escort is full of desperadoes, and theft of goods often happens, but the compensation is very little."

Everyone here knows that.

What Lin Hong said is true, the north of the Yellow Sea is blocked, and the port that can berth in the East China Sea is in Qidu, and the mountain roads around Qidu are difficult to travel. This section has increased costs for many ambitious businessmen.

Why mention this?

What Lin Hong said next surprised everyone——

"My Changying Escort only needs [-]% of the price of Shanhai Escort, and if there is any loss, [-]% will be compensated."

Sixty percent![-]% compensation!

What courage.

On a dangerous road that no one dared to trek, the Shanhai Escort Bureau took the risk desperately, asking for prices everywhere, just to make a windfall, but Lin Hong gave up [-]% of the profit.Is [-]% of the price really enough for him to pay the guards?Furthermore, the mountain road is rough and difficult to navigate, and the road is inevitably bumpy. Damage to the goods is a common occurrence, and [-]% of the compensation...

I have to admit that this condition is very attractive.

The boss in the main seat was silent, and everyone in the guest seat checked earnestly.

Businessmen can always stay awake before huge benefits.Doubts arise again——

"What's the credibility of the new Escort?"

"If the desperadoes of the Shanhai Escort Bureau feel resentment and seek revenge, the little Escort Bureau may not even be able to protect themselves!"

"Bandits are not good at nothing, what skills does your bodyguard have?"

"A [-]% compensation, is it enough to cover your bodyguard agency? If we flee with the goods, where are we going to seek justice?"

Lin Hong smiled, "Bosses, why not ask my regular customers these questions."

He looked up at the coquettish woman on the main seat with a smile on her lips, "What do you think? Boss Zhu? And——"

He looked at the man on the main seat who had been silent all this time, "Boss Feng."
