Chapter 261 Li Fu's Guest
Since the resumption of business, Maoshengyuan's business has become much more prosperous than before the last closing. In the past, many people were afraid to do business with Maoshengyuan after secretly understanding the back and scene of Maoshengyuan.
However, after the high-profile return of Li Yi, the shopkeeper of Maoshengyuan, many people dispel this concern. After all, behind Maoshengyuan is a huge sea wolf group. This sea wolf is not an ordinary pirate. Looking at the sea, there are really few forces that dare to face the enemy of sea wolves now, even arrogant before. The red-haired man is now also suppressed by sea wolves and dare not fart.
Nowadays, people who trade with the sea in Fujian have to pay a high fee to the sea wolf. Otherwise, as long as their ship leaves the shore, there will basically be no return, and even the government can do nothing about it.
What's more, everyone basically knows the situation of Fujian officials. After this fierce conflict last winter and this spring, Fujian's military strength has been weakened to the extreme by sea wolves. Although it can't be said that Fujian no longer has any military strength, it can no longer compete with sea wolves.
More than ten Acropolises along the coast have all been hit by sea wolves, and the towns and soldiers in all coastal prefectures have also suffered heavy losses. The naval warships have been weakened to an unparallable extent. Now if you want to mix at sea, if you offend Mao Shengyuan, you will actually offend the sea wolves. Don't think about doing this sea trade in the future.
However, those who dare to do this kind of business have a high vision. Of course, they can see the current situation clearly, so now many people are too late to flaunt, so they dare not easily offend Mao Shengyuan.
And Maoshengyuan has always been abiding by the rules in doing business. This reputation can now be said to be well-known in the business community. Even if the last time they closed the business, they owed the payment of some cooperative merchants, but Maoshengyuan knew that it still tried his best to pay off these payments before closing, even in the short term. If it is unclear, the arrears are also transferred to the bank to ensure that those merchants related to Maoshengyuan will not suffer losses.
Based on this alone, Maoshengyuan has gained an excellent reputation. Nowadays, merchants are willing to deal with Maoshengyuan. As long as Maoshengyuan wants goods, even if it is slightly delayed during the three sections of payment, they will not worry about it. As long as Maoshengyuan wants the same goods, even if the price is higher than other merchants. If it is a little lower, merchants are also willing to sell the goods to Maoshengyuan.
Before the last closing, some merchants who owed Maoshengyuan the goods originally planned to see the situation. If the sea wolf was defeated, they would not be ready to repay the arrears. However, when Li Yi returned this high-profile time, these debtors saw the strength of the sea wolf clearly, and how dare they dared to understand Maoshengyuan's arrears. Ah! Therefore, before Maoshengyuan resumed business, they settled all the payments they owed to Maoshengyuan, and even took the initiative to pay the interest during the arrears period.
Therefore, Maoshengyuan's business can be said to be at its peak. People who come here every day to talk about business with Maoshengyuan can be said to be a city. For this reason, the pavement of Maoshengyuan can only be expanded. Nowadays, half of the street where Maoshengyuan is located has basically become the pavement of Maoshengyuan.
When the business is getting bigger, the manpower will definitely increase. After the resumption of this business, Li Yi recruited a large number of clerks and shopkeepers. With the previous handwriting, now everyone knows that as long as he works for Maoshengyuan, there will be a settlement in the future. Maoshengyuan treats the generosity of shopkeepers. Not to mention the high wages, there are also many benefits. Even if something happens, dies or loses the ability to work, Mao Shengyuan will not abandon them and their families.
So as soon as he heard that Maoshengyuan is recruiting, there is an endless stream of people who come here to apply for candidates. Among them, there are many businessmen who used to do small businesses. Now they would rather give up their business to work for Maoshengyuan, so Li Yi recruited a group of quite capable subordinates in a short time.
Li Yi's recruitment also has his requirements, but all those who were originally working for his old employer heard that Mao Shengyuan was recruiting, so he abandoned his old employer and came to apply for the job.
Because Li Yi explained that this kind of person can abandon the old master without hesitation when he sees benefits, which is a kind of betrayal. He disdains to take in such a treacherous person. Who can guarantee that the sea wolf will not encounter trouble in the future? Once the sea wolf encounters trouble, this kind of person will definitely know There is a possibility that donations will run away, so this kind of person will be directly eliminated.
And everyone who is recruited into Maoshengyuan will receive a manual before starting to do things, which lists a lot of rules for Mr. Lin Lin, but anyone who wants to leave to work in Maoshengyuan must follow this code of conduct.
Of course, it is required not to embezzle with public funds, privateness, and must keep secrets, etc. Once found, it will immediately drive out Mao Shengyuan. If it is serious... With the ability of the sea wolf, it is not a big problem to kill a person! Even if it is a matter of destroying the door, it is not difficult for the sea wolf.
So although on the surface, Maoshengyuan is an outsourced commercial organization of the sea wolf, but from the perspective of internal structure, this Maoshengyuan is also a paramilitary management agency. In addition to collecting intelligence, it is also secretly responsible for collecting immigrants for the sea wolf, and even in order to protect Obstacle Mao Shengyuan's operation was safe. Yu Xiaotian also specially sent a special warfare team with Mao Shengyuan to help Mao Shengyuan eliminate some enemies when necessary.
Shortly after the resumption of Maoshengyuan, something happened. A local Jinyiwei Qianhu in Fujian thought that his identity was detached, and no one could do anything about him. Although he knew that the sea wolf was strong, he thought that he had the final say on this land, so he made all kinds of difficulties for Maoshengyuan, and even had an idea. If you want to swallow Mao Shengyuan, at least force Li Yi to spit out a large amount of silver for him as an offering.
But no one expected that this guy, who usually didn't dare to provoke thousands of Jinyiwei, disappeared overnight, and even the dogs in the family were left. All the money and valuables in the family were taken away, leaving only the head of the Jinyiwei Qianhu was hung on the door of their house.
This caused another huge earthquake in Fujian. Jinyiwei later investigated the matter, but the results of the investigation made them frightening.
There are more than 100 men, women and children in this Jinyiwei family. They can be taken up overnight without leaving a living mouth, just like evaporating from the world. Although there is no shock from the corpses in the garden, this strangeness makes people feel numb.
Because people know that killing people is much easier than quietly kidnapping people away, but some people can kidnap this family without shocking their neighbors.
After a secret investigation by Jinyiwei, they later found that in the first few days of the incident in this thousand households, a group of unknown numbers of outsiders entered the city. These people acted mysteriously and did not contact anyone. Just a few days after these people appeared, the thousand households were killed overnight and the whole family disappeared. The next morning, the gate As soon as it opened, a convoy left the gate and finally disappeared by the river.
After that, no one can trace any news, but if you think about it carefully, you can roughly guess that after arriving at the riverside, you can be sure that these thousands of family members have boarded the ship, and the ship will definitely not go up against the current. You just need to go down the mouth of the Minjiang River and reach the sea.
Who is the best at sea now? Of course, only the sea wolf has this ability, but now even if it is suspected on the head of the sea wolf, no one dares to find the trouble of the sea wolf. No matter how awesome the Jinyiwei is, it is at best the Ming secret agent organization. It is okay to secretly rely on power to deal with some officials and local forces, but it is necessary to let them fight against it. The whole sea wolf gave them eight courage, and they didn't dare.
What's more, they also saw the end of the thousand households this time. They were quietly cut off their heads and hung on the door beam, and the whole family disappeared overnight. They didn't want to enjoy such an end.
So although these brocade guards secretly guessed that this should be done by the sea wolf, since they dare to do it, there is nothing they can do. As for fighting against the sea wolf, forget it! Now their life is very good, with Wei Zhongxian supporting them. Why bother to provoke the unaffordable force of the sea wolf!
In the end, this matter was settled. The report submitted by the local brocade guard to Shangfeng was unable to find the murderer behind the scenes, and it was over.
With this powerful shock, those forces that were still a little coveted by Mao Shengyuan have been honest. No one wants their heads to be unconsciously chopped off and hung on the door beam at night, and the whole family will be killed.
So Mao Shengyuan has now become an object that can't be provoked, whether in Fuzhou City or in other places. No matter how strong the force is, it should be polite and dare not offend them.
And Maoshengyuan has now become the outsourced agency of the sea wolf. The members of the sea wolf used to log in to do business and have to be careful. Now with such a strong strength as Mao Shengyuan, they can now go to the mainland to do things, and they dare to go in and out of the city gate and wander on the streets during the day.
Some middle and high-level sea wolves who have not landed for a long time can now stroll on land to relax when they are on vacation.
But Maoshengyuan also has a measured way to do things, and he does not do things everywhere. He pays attention to rules. Everything stands on the principle and does not use their power to do things that are difficult for people to do. Doing business is still rules, which makes many people make friends with them. Taoist people all feel very admirable.
And Li Yi has now become the hottest figure in Fuzhou City. Nowadays, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to see him. People who don't have any identity should not have this idea at all. Even if some officials want to see him, they have to send people to send posts and make an appointment before they can arrange numbers. Waiting to meet Li Yi.
But this time, a man in his 30s came to Mao Shengyuan. The man was wearing a non-swayed long gown and suddenly didn't feel that this person was very back and beautiful, but he went straight to the door of the yard where Li Yi lived and handed over a greeting to the servant who was watching the door.
"I'm sorry to bother this little brother, inform Manager Li, and say that the governor praised Qian Xiaocheng for having something to see! I hope the shopkeeper Li can take some time out of his busy schedule and see the next one! Thank you very much!"
After Qian Xiaocheng handed over the invitation, he politely said to the two tough young men who looked at the door.
