  With a swift movement, Chen Yuan and Pang Xi were ushered in. Xiao Suli led the way, taking the two men to the main hall. After they took their seats as host and guest, before even exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Suli got straight to the point: "Master Chen, General Manager Pang has already told me about your intentions. This deal is sure to be profitable, I just want to know, what specific plans do you have in mind?"

  Just by looking at his expression, it's clear that he's very interested in this business. Chen Yuan immediately said: "I bought a piece of land on the outskirts, about three times the size of your house. It's specifically used for storing goods. After those people bring the goods over, they can sell them directly to us. We'll purchase them at 95% of the market price at that time."

  Xiao Su Li hastily interrupted: "Master Chen, what does 'nine five discount' mean?"

  Chen Yuan suddenly realized that the concept of discount had not been introduced at this time, and immediately explained: "That is to say, if something sells for 100 coins in the market, we only pay 95 coins. Of course, the specific transaction price for each item will be clearly written down in a special place, ensuring fairness for both young and old."

  Xiao Su Li nodded: "Mm, I understand that. Those merchants will definitely come to get rid of the goods as soon as possible. But is the storage of the goods really safe?"

  Chen Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, Sir Xiao. Our warehouse is located next to a military camp on the outskirts of town. We'll take some measures and security won't be a problem."

  "Then won't it cause us losses due to improper management?"

  This was not even considered by Xiao Su Li, who had this question mainly because most warehouses in this era were small warehouses with only one door. The large warehouse with two doors at the front and back that Chen Yuan imagined did not exist in Xiao Su Li's mind.

  "General Xiao, look, I've drawn a diagram of the warehouse on the table. You see, it has two entrances, one for receiving goods and one for shipping them out. This way, there will be no congestion of goods. And I'll have someone take stock every day. The types of warehouses are also different; some have ice cellars to store items that fear heat, while others have firewalls. Different warehouses are managed by different people. If any warehouse has abnormal damage to its goods, I'll deduct it from their wages."

  Xiao Su Li heard Chen Yuan build the warehouse, first is very surprised, but then also understand, if really do large-scale transit business, such a warehouse must be built, and it's the best.

  With a relieved heart, he smiled and said: "Alright, I'm at ease now. Master Chen, if we cooperate, how much money do I need to put out? And how will the dividends be calculated?"

  Chen Yuan had already thought about this issue: "This, the dividend is calculated once per quarter, and the amount of money that comes out can be divided into a 1% lower proportion of dividends than the occupied funds."

  It was obvious that Chen Yuan's business idea was quite ahead of its time. Xiao Suli was perplexed: "Why should we give up one percent?"

  Chen Yuanshao said: "Because specific things are what we come to work for, that's the reward given to us."

  Xiao Su Li thought for a moment. Although this condition had never been proposed before, it seemed fair after some consideration: "Alright then, I'll offer 100,000 yuan. How about that?"

  Chen Yuan knew that this was a wealthy master, and 100,000 guan was nothing to him. He shook his head immediately: "If General Xiao can only take out 100,000 guan now, it's better to lend me the money, and I'll pay you an interest of 10,000 guan per month. How about that?"

  Xiao Su Li, why would you care about interest money? He immediately looked at Chen Yuan: "How much did I say to take out?"

  Chen Yuan stretched out five fingers: "At least 500,000."

  Xiao Suli hesitated, Chen Yuan did not urge him on, the wine and dishes had already been served, Xiao Suli was still thinking, Chen Yuan and Pang Xi also did not move their chopsticks.

  After a long time, Xiao Suri finally nodded: "Okay, 500,000. I will give 200,000 to Master Chen within five days, and the rest will be settled within a month."

  Chen Yuan and Pang Xi both laughed, and the three of them finally drank freely and joyfully.

  They drank wine until the late hours of Zi, and Chen Yuan and Pang Xi only left then. After Xiao Su sent them off, his eyes suddenly became complex, followed by a sigh, and he lightly said to the gatekeeper behind him: "Prepare the horse, we're going to the imperial palace."

  Xiao Suli went to the imperial palace at this time because his sister was still waiting for his reply. This is a very important task given by Xiao Sulie, to check Chen Yuan's character.

  After this drink, Xiao Suli's evaluation of Chen Yuan was: capable, intelligent, but somewhat unpredictable.

  "What's wrong?" Xiang Junli's voice was very soft, with a feminine charm that made people feel extremely comfortable when they heard it.

  Xiao SuLi was very casual in this room, sitting on a chair drinking tea by himself, his eyes gazing at the floor as if recalling something: "I always feel that something is off, sister. As a businessman, if I knew I was about to be sent to war by the Emperor, my first thought would be how to ensure my business doesn't encounter any setbacks during my absence. But he's clearly leaving soon, yet still dares to use such a large sum of money, it really makes me wonder."

  Xiao Xiangli smiled slightly: "Is he saying that he doesn't look like a businessman?"

  Xiao Su shook her head: "No, I dare to guarantee with my brain that he is an excellent businessman. If not, he wouldn't have come up with such a plan. Sister, I've been in Yanjing for so many years and never thought of this transit business. He came up with it as soon as he arrived, which shows that his experience in doing business is no less than mine. Just by looking at how he pulled Wang Lun into the partnership and then tried to pull me in, you can see what kind of tactics he uses in the business world."

  Xiao Tangli felt relieved: "That's enough, as for why he knew he had to leave but still dared to make such a big move, maybe he was confident that he could arrange the business well? Never mind, how about the person I asked to notify?"

  Xiao Su Li looked around and walked up to Xiao Tie's side: "Sister, Zhang E has already agreed to help us. He said that he still remembers the life-saving kindness from back then and now must repay it with his own life."

  Xiao Xiao's eyebrows furrowed: "I know Zhang will be fine, what about the people from Northeast?"

  Xiao Su's voice was even lower: "I've already told them the Emperor's plan, if they're smart, they'll definitely let Hongji go and head straight to fight Yelü Niegulu."

  Xiao Xiao Li nodded in satisfaction: "Good, very good."

  She slowly walked to the bed: "Go back, these days are still like usual, do more business, go to the yamen less often, and be a good Taiping Country Uncle. When this matter is settled, do you want to be the Grand King of the Southern Court or the Northern Court?"

  Xiao Su Li was extremely excited and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you really so confident? If Hong Ji misses the opportunity, shouldn't we find someone to remind him?"

  Xiao Xiangli took a mirror and stroked the wrinkles on her face with one hand: "If he can't even seize the opportunity, I'll be completely disappointed."

  Xiao Su Li nodded: "I understand, then I'll go first."

  Xiao Zuan stood in front of the mirror for a long time, staring at his own face. He slowly put it down and muttered to himself: "I'm old, not like when I was young. The palace maids don't take me seriously, and few officials remember me. A tiger that doesn't roar twice will even let a donkey in."

  After finishing speaking, she also remembered Xiao Su's words and couldn't guess Chen Yuan's thoughts either. She thought to herself: "Yes, he clearly knows he's going to the battlefield, so why is he still doing business on such a large scale?"

  "The first house", Chen Yuan's room was also brightly lit, he looked at the four people in front of him and said softly: "In a few days, I will go on an expedition with Yelü Hongji, so everything here is entrusted to you all to take care of."

  Yang Wenguang immediately said: "Boss, let's go, we're all outsiders when it comes to doing business!"

  Chen Yuan glanced at him: "I didn't plan to let you do business, and go with Amu together. The things here will be handled by Hu Jing and Pang Xi."

  This time, I'm going to fight, and bring Yang Wenguang with me. After all, he's a general's son, and in Wen Tong, he has already shown his military talent. Bringing him along, just in case something unexpected happens, won't have to rely on my own head to withstand the wolf-toothed clubs in the hands of those Jurchen people who are almost like savages.

  "No problem."

  Chen Yuanyi suddenly grabbed Pang Xi's collar, and Pang Xi was taken aback: "What are you doing? Want to fight with me?"

  Chen Yuan stared into his eyes: "I'm going out and can't bring Hu Jing with me. I know the relationship between us, and I also know that there have been conflicts between you two. I'm telling you, if anything unexpected happens to her during this time, no matter who did it, I'll remember it!"

  Pang Xi grinned: "Alright! Can I treat her like a grandma?"

  Chen Yuan patted Pang Xi's shoulder: "Remember, business matters should be opened as soon as possible. If I can wait until that day, it would be best. If I couldn't wait, you two must also start the business. I know you two are outsiders, but I'll tell you a secret trick."

  "What's the secret?" asked Hu Jing and Pang Xi simultaneously.

  Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "The goods from the south are handed over to Wang Lun for inspection, and the matter of receiving goods in Yanjing is left to the people of Xiao Suri. The two of them are experts, sister, just help me keep an eye on the money. Pang brother, every day bring twenty large carts, constantly going in and out, regardless of whether our business is good or not, we must let the car team at the door move continuously every day, understand?"

  After Chen Yuan explained the two things, he could only put financing on hold for now. He really didn't feel at ease handing over the financing matters to any of these people, after all, it was a high-difficulty move, if done well, it would add points, but if done badly, the whole plan would be ruined.

  While whispering to each other, a knock at the door was suddenly heard. The five of them looked at each other in surprise, not knowing who would be visiting at this time.

  Chen Yuan looked around suspiciously and then asked: "Who is it?"

  No one answered at the door, but the knocking continued. Chen Yuan walked over and opened the door to find a Song Dynasty guard standing there.

  The guard stood against the wall, his face somewhat pale, and it was clear that he had just suffered a serious injury.

  Chen Yuan looked at him and said, "What's up, General?"

  The guard smiled and pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom, placing it in front of Chen Yuan. On the paper was written a line of words, which made Chen Yuan's face turn even paler than the guard's after he took a closer look!
