Chapter 398: Not giving face (3)
……
‘Ding-dong, you have obtained 16500 popularity points. The system will store it for you temporarily. When it reaches the standard, it will absorb it and refine it to repair the system ...”
Although there were tens of thousands of people at the venue, some of them had already absorbed the popularity of others in the past. Therefore, they did not gain much today.
In the evening, Wen Jinyuan came in and said,”we’ve realized it at a good start.”
“How much did the mall make today?” Mei zhenhong asked.
“All in all, we have more than 30000 taels of silver. At this rate, we can sell more than 10 million taels of silver worth of goods in the Jiangzhou mall alone.” Wen Jinyuan replied.
“Today is the opening day of the Academy, so there are many people here. There won’t be so many tomorrow. Of course, our mall has just opened for business, so many people don’t know about it.
However, there were some sales discussions before they started.
For example, a bathroom, a lamp, a battery, a rice cooker, an induction cooker, and other household items.
As long as a family bought these goods, they would be worth a few thousand taels of silver.
Although Jiang state capital was not as large as sea Saint City, there were still hundreds of thousands of people.
There should be a few thousand households that could afford it. If this batch of customers were to be caught, they would be able to sell the goods for millions or even tens of millions of taels.
Of course, Jiangzhou is only this big. It’s just the first test of our mall.
We still have to set our sights on sea Saint City. This city’s population is five to six times that of the Jiang Prefecture, and we can earn several times the silver here.
Tomorrow, our own somi shopping center will also open for business. ” Tang Wen said.
“Master, what does the new commander Chu Tiangong mean?
Old master, you’ve already sent him an invitation, but he actually didn’t give you face.
This person might bring trouble to master. ” Wen Jin Yuan said.
“This person is from the royal family, the Chu family. His family is in the capital and can be considered close to the royal family.
It was said that he was the cousin of Chu ping, the first-grade Marquis of Anping.
Chu ping, the Marquis of Anping, was highly regarded by the Emperor. He was probably promoted to the position of chief general by his cousin.
Not only was Chu ping the Marquis of Anping, but he was also the Vice general of the Imperial Guards.
In the capital, he holds a high position and is considered a powerful figure. ” Shen Gongyang said.
“I also heard that he’s quite arrogant and doesn’t really care about others.” Chu Cong said.
“Hehe, I’m just a small local count. Of course, they don’t care about me. They’re probably waiting for me to visit them.” Tang Wen said with a smile.
“Don’t bother with him. According to the position of the Vice Commander-in-Chief, he is your subordinate. He should be here to visit you.” Chu Cong snorted.
“They’re relatives of the royal family, so it’s different,” Tang Wen said.
“We can’t do it the other way around. If the Vice Commander-in-Chief visits him, what will the people of Jiang Zhou say? At that time, he would probably be even more arrogant. At that time, we’ll have to listen to him. How will the Vice Commander-in-Chief fight this battle?” Shen Gongyang snorted.
“Hehe, I won’t argue with him. I’ll visit him tomorrow.” Tang Wen said with a big smile.
“You can’t do that. It’ll damage your prestige as the Vice Commander-in-Chief.” Chu Cong said hurriedly.
“No, no, no! Impossible, it can’t work. ” Shen Gongyang shook his head and said.
“I’d like to see how he’ll treat me. The matter between the wood moving Palace and the Linghai Academy has been resolved.
The troops had been regrouped. They were all training hard in preparation to take back Peacock Island.
It’s not a good time to be at odds with Chu Tiangong. Of course, if he doesn’t know what’s good for him, then it’ll be a different story. ” Tang Wen waved his hand.
“I’m afraid that your warm face will meet a cold butt, Lord Jue!” Shen Gongyang shook his head.
“He won’t not give me any face, right?” Tang Wen was stunned.
“If I may offend you, master, what is a Remote count of Linghai in the eyes of the scions of the capital? I’m afraid he’s not even as good as a dog in their family. Teacher, I’m sorry to offend you. If you don’t believe me, I’ll see what happens tomorrow. ” Shen Gongyang said.
“I’d like to see how arrogant he is!” Tang Wen snorted.
“I heard that Tang Wen is running an Academy and a mall. It’s very lively.” The moon was high up in the sky, and the night wind was blowing gently.
At this moment, in the pavilion in the backyard of the military Yamen, two people were playing chess. The one who was talking was Wu Zhang, the uncle-master of commander Chu Tiangong.
“It’s not worthy of being called a noble. ” Chu Tiangong snorted.
“That’s true. A dignified vice Commander-in-Chief, at least a first rank Earl, actually doing these things as peddlers and lackeys.
It was said that he even went on stage personally, boasting about how he wanted the people to be able to read and write.
I think he’s just fishing for fame. ” Wu Zhang said.
“The Imperial court is blind to actually appoint such a person as a vice Commander-in-Chief.
What kind of battle could a vendor like him, who only knew how to set up a stall, fight?
Most likely, his previous battle achievements were just a Bluff.
I’ll have to investigate this in secret.
Otherwise, if he becomes the Vice Commander-in-Chief, I will still have to listen to his commands. I, Chu Tiangong, can’t afford to lose this face. ” Chu Tiangong said with a look of disdain.
“It’s fine if you’re embarrassed, but I’m afraid that he’ll command you blindly. At that time, you’ll be defeated in Linghai. I was even dragged into the fire pit by him. ” Wu Zhang said.
“That’s impossible. He can forget about taking a single soldier from my Yamen.” Chu Tiangong sneered.
“But he has the Imperial tiger tally. If he comes to conscript us, it won’t be good for us to resist.” Wu Zhang shook his head.
“What Imperial tiger tally? it was simply lent to him by the sea Saint King. The Tiger tally was originally in the hands of the sea Saint King. I don’t know what’s wrong with His Highness, but he actually lent it to him. ” Chu Tiangong said.
“Could he be related to the sea Saint King?” Wu Zhang was stunned. He thought for a while and said.
“Bullsh * t relationship. I’ve already sent people to investigate before coming, and he has no relationship with the sea Saint King at all.
