The two sides combine charity into one, which is even more powerful, and more refugees are being relieved, so the publicity effect is naturally increasing exponentially.

After preparing for the publicity, Guo Dan and Kou Weisha returned in a carriage, which not only hindered Xu Jirong from pretending.

"Brother Xiao? Charity Ambassador?"

Kou Weisha looked at Guo Dan in disbelief, "Husband, are you a little unconsidered in your decision?"

Guo Tan asked, "How do you say this?"

Kou Weisha thought for a while before saying tactfully: "It just sounds like it's not appropriate."

No matter how you put the title of charity ambassador on Xu Jirong, you feel awkward no matter how you hear it, no matter whether it is temperament or past deeds, it is consistent.

Guo Dan asked, "I wonder who my wife thinks is more suitable?"

Kou Weisha pondered for a moment: "I only know that many people are more suitable than Xiao Lao."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "But in my opinion, if you want to choose a charity ambassador, then Xiao Laoye is the best and only candidate."

Kou Weisha said puzzledly: "I don't understand very much."

Guo Dan said: "If you choose a candidate according to the standards of your wife, I think no matter who you are, you will be taught a lesson by those literati and slandered, because they are too thin-skinned and unable to withstand the public opinion. Only Xiao Lao is thick-skinned and used to being ridiculed by others, so he can withstand the insults of those literati."

Kou Weisha nodded slightly: "Although what your husband said is not unreasonable, aren't you afraid that this will backfire?"

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "No, even if you let a pig act as this charity ambassador, the difference is not very big."

"pig?"

Kou Weisha opened her beautiful eyes wide, but muttered in her heart that the pig seemed to be more suitable than the young master.

Guo Dan said with a little playful thought: "In fact, it doesn't matter who is a charity ambassador, because this is a confrontation between money and morality. Public opinion is always controlled by scholars. In this regard, we businessmen cannot confront them. Our advantage is money. This confrontation depends on who will eventually take advantage, rather than who is a charity ambassador."

"Do you think we can win?" Kou Weisha was full of doubts about this.

It’s really a way out for businessmen to fight with scholars!

Guo Tan smiled and said, "With money can make the devil push the mill. If you say something will make you roll your eyes, even if your Majesty, if he has no money, he will not even be able to transfer the imperial guards in the front yard to the back yard."

Kou Weisha immediately rolled his eyes, but suddenly felt something was wrong again, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You! You are so deadly."

Guo Dan laughed and gently held Kou Weisha into his arms, and his lips raised slightly: "Madam, don't be too proud of those literati. The reason why those literati defended the etiquette system is actually defending their own rights. Only under the pedantic etiquette system can those who are useless people be able to have such a large family property. This is essentially a struggle for interests, and we are not without a chance of winning."

Kou Weisha's eyes moved slightly upwards, and when he looked at the man who had already slept with her, a feeling of being close and separated arises naturally.

Do I really know him?

This question lingers in Kou Weisha's mind.

It’s not because she paid little attention to Guo Dan and did not try to pay attention to Guo Dan, but because Guo Dan never showed his true self, but it was not because he intended to hide it, but in this era, he could not show his true self.

Because when he was on Wall Street, money was the boss, and money could do whatever he wanted. But here is the opposite. He even had to restrain his own steps and could not take too confidently. If a businessman stood up and looked down on the street, he would really be beaten to death.

Kou Weisha is his wife and the person he trusts the most, so when he is alone with Kou Weisha, he will reveal his true face slightly, which is also what makes Kou Weisha confused.

......

This real gold and silver will definitely splash in the water. This is a law of physics and cannot be changed. It is just a matter of the size of the splash.

Guo Dan took out so much money to help refugees, but everyone saw it.

No matter what he did or what his purpose was, he was using real money to do good deeds. Many landlords in the world are rich, but most of them are very stingy and have never done good deeds. Even if there are, they only occasionally take some porridge to provide relief. Unlike Guo Dan and others, they send clothes and quilts, and they also give them real big cakes. This is not a one-time charity, and it will continue with the Marseille.

There were immediately voices from the people who supported Marseille.

At the same time, the slander of Marseille was becoming more and more intense. Those scholars not only did not restrain themselves at all when they saw Guo Dan, but became more and more lively. They treated their words as wind in their ears. No businessman dared to publicly play against them, and they were even more indignantly accusing Marseille and saying that Marseille's charity was a confusing method for Guo Dan.

I wish I could shape Guo Dan into a devil.

As the newly promoted charity ambassador Xu Jirong began to fight back against these scholars, and major restaurants became the places for their battle. As long as Xu Jirong heard someone slandering Marseille, he would definitely fight back.

No matter how the scholars say it is, he just said that you are not without money. There are so many refugees outside, why don’t you use money to provide relief?

But this sentence is very powerful. This sentence is rough and not rough. You are rich and powerful, so why never use money to do charity? You are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

But when it comes to taking out the money, these people are reluctant to let go. This time they take out a few thousand taels, once every seven days. It hurts so much!

But if they don’t take out the money, the more the people feel that Xu Jirong’s words make sense, they will yell, saying that there are more and more people who support Xu Jirong openly and secretly.

Xu Jirong's reputation has increased very well, and no one has ever mentioned the desolation of the capital.

Marseille also continues to pay attention because of these debates.

The second Marseille came in such an atmosphere. Whether Shilin's boycott was useful or not has to be said with facts.

However, unlike the first Marseille game, the moment the hall of the prize pool was opened, it was already crowded, and everyone was given a horse newspaper. Instead of rushing to place bets, they gathered together to discuss this enthusiastically, which turned out to be a party.

Last time, everyone was still afraid and were watching, but this time there was no fear at all, because everyone knew that there would definitely be many people going there.

This time Guo Dan did not stay here. It was halfway through Chen Shi that he slowly came to the hall of the prize pool in a carriage.

As soon as I got off the carriage, a scholar walked towards him angrily.

"Guo Dan, let me ask you, are you willing to make money without losing money? Can you sleep at night? This cycle of heaven and law, if you poison the people of the Ming Dynasty so much, you will be retribution."

The scholar was referring to the sky and the earth and angrily screaming at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan smiled and said, "Brother, I----."

"Guo Dan, you are just here. I'm about to come to you and said, "Your prize pool hall is a little too cold, and there is not even a place to sit. Huh? Who are you? Get out of the way, get out of the way."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the prize pool hall is small. You can build some restaurants next to us so that we can have a rest place. Just build a few greenhouses to perfunctorily treat us, which is too insulting."

"You can also get a few more counters. It would be fine if you are queuing up. Last time, I didn't queue up at the last moment, so I didn't make any money. If this happens again, I'll ask you to pay."

......

The scholar said something and was pushed to some unknown place by these people who came to buy horses.

Everyone surrounded Guo Dan and complained in various ways.

What they complained made sense. This place was originally a pasture and there was nothing around. But there was another journey from the capital to come here. At most, I could only go back and forth on one trip a day, but there was not even a place to rest here. These people were either rich or noble, which was very painful for them.

Guo Dan sighed bitterly: "Everyone should know that I have already spent 30,000 taels to build this racecourse alone. I expect the entire project to be invested 100,000 taels. It can be seen that I really don't want you to sit in the greenhouse every day, but I don't know much about this project. I gave Chen Ping a contract. I will urge him to build this racecourse quickly."

"Then you should hurry up, otherwise we won't come. It would be not easy to go back and forth, and we still have to suffer."

"Yes, yes, I'll go find Chen Ping now."

"Go quickly, go quickly, I'm so worried."

.....

Guo Dan walked out of the crowd and suddenly glanced at the scholar who had been pushed out a few feet away. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then went to the racetrack.

Liu Xunmou also walked out of the Prize Pool Hall and walked to Guo Dan.

Guo Tan asked, "Is Mr. Chen coming?"

"Here I'm here, I've been staying in the house and I have no face to see you."

"Am I that mean?" Guo Dan said with a wry smile.

"You are not mean, but you are very cunning. This is even more terrifying than meanness." Liu Xunmou teased Guo Dan and said seriously: "But this time the matter is really not so simple to solve. According to the information I inquired, the four major teeth stores have purchased all the wood in the capital. They want to get a share of the pie."

Guo Dan sighed: "I guessed this, but when doing business, it is about cooperation. I hope they don't eat too salty."

While talking, they came to a house next to the racetrack.

"Nephew, Mr. Liu."

When Chen Ping saw them coming, he hurriedly stood up.

"Please sit down."

Guo Dan reached out and signaled. After the three of them sat down, Guo Dan asked, "Prince, how is the acquisition of this wood?"

Chen Ping said with a embarrassed look: "Nephew, I'm so sorry. I'm already willing to buy their wood for twice the price, but they still refuse and insist on asking for three times the price. If you don't have a good nephew, go and talk to Xing'anbo and let him come forward."

Liu Xunming said: "This matter is not that simple. Nowadays, many ministers in the court oppose Marseille. If we ask Mr. Bo to take action, then those ministers in the court will definitely support the four major officials, and I think Mr. Bo will not agree."

"What should I do?"

Chen Ping looked at Guo Dan in embarrassment.

Although he is the largest timber merchant, he still doesn’t have enough to see the four major officials in a monopoly position!

Guo Dan thought for a while and said, "Let's see how Marseille benefits this time. If it's good, three times will be three times. I can't wait endlessly. This matter must be resolved quickly."

"I see."

Chen Ping nodded and sighed in annoyance again, "This matter is really done..."

He should have earned this money, so he even asked the Yajian to invest in it, but now the four major officials have made it away. How can you be willing to let him do it!

At this time, a knock sounded in front of the door, "Son-in-law, the inner minister and Xing'anbo are here."

"Okay, I'll go there right away."

Guo Dan stood up and said to Chen Ping again: "Mr. Chen, although you have made a lot of money, you have to do it for me and not delay it for too long."

"Don't worry, even if you lose money, I will help you do this."

"Okay! I'll go out first."

......

Come to the VIP private room.

Before he could salute, Zhang Cheng asked, "Guo Dan, we heard that you are in trouble."

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "How did the inner minister know?"

Zhang Cheng said: "When we came, we heard many people complaining that you were too simple and didn't even have a more comfortable restaurant. It was Mr. Wang who told us that the price of this wood has increased several times in recent days."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "It's something."

"It's really outrageous. They are clearly targeting you." Zhang Cheng said: "If you can't handle it, our family will help you talk."

This money belongs to the emperor, not Guo Dan. This is cheating the emperor's money, so Zhang Cheng certainly can't bear it.

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "I dare not take action on this matter. Moreover, if the enemy takes action, someone in the court may help the other party." As he said that, he glanced at Xu Mengchong.

Xu Mengchong pretended not to see it, and the old fox told Zhang Cheng about this, hoping that Zhang Cheng would take action.

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, but do you have a solution?"

Guo Dan said: "I'm trying to figure out a way."

.....

Although it is simple, this did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for Marseille. The betting amount on the first day exceeded 50,000 taels, and by the second day, it directly exceeded 100,000 taels. Obviously, the number of people who bet this time has increased, because a group of little rich people were born in the first Marseille. Everyone wants to turn bicycles into motorcycles. At the same time, many people find some tricks and know how to place bets on a dispersed manner. This inadvertently makes the money to place bets has increased.

As for the number of people watching the game, there has not been more, because there can be no more.

The game was even more intense than the first game. Not only the audience, but even the players were very involved, because they could become famous overnight when they saw Xu Jirong, the waste, and they also became Marseille's charity ambassador. This made Marseille become an opportunity to become famous in their hearts. They were very prepared for this and did not go out these days.

Their elders also came to watch the game, which was also related to family glory.

Wanli still sent the Jinyiwei to report on the changes in the Prize Pool Hall in real time.

When I heard that the total amount exceeded 100,000 taels, I laughed out again.

As for the Shilin, morality, and etiquette system, no one cares at all. There are so many people.

This time, the players performed quite normally, and there were no big upsets. There were not many rich people born last time, and more people who won money have become more and more. However, this sense of accomplishment made the young men very satisfied because they did their homework and now they have succeeded, and they feel indescribable pleasure in their hearts.

It can be seen that they will be more confident in betting next time.

This second time Marseille was so successful, Guo Dan was also confident to buy wood at three times the price, and he really asked Chen Ping to buy wood at three times the price.

Jiang Family.

"Haha...it's true that it's not as expected. Even if it's three times the price, they have to buy it." Zhao Fengyuan smiled.

Mao Shen said excitedly: "We have made a lot of money this time!"

Jiang Shiyou said, "What? Do you think it's time to take action?"

Xiong Feng smiled slightly: "I think it can rise again. If this Marseille makes money like this, they will buy it even if they double it. I heard that many people are complaining about the simplicity of the racecourse. Moreover, if you don't build a good ranch, you can't raise horses. This is not only about money, but even about Guo Dan's life."

Zhao Fengyuan and Mao Shen looked at each other.

"Then double the price." Zhao Fengyuan said excitedly.

Jiang Shiyou nodded and smiled, "I'm just thinking."

Xiong Feng suddenly said, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell them something. I found that Kou Jiayaxing has been secretly buying silk recently."

"Purchase silk? Why don't I know this?" Mao Shen said in surprise.

Xiong Feng said: "They did it very concealedly. They bought a large amount of silk in the name of charity. They promoted the profit of 30% of the money, which is nearly 4,000 taels, but as far as I know, they took out a full ten thousand taels to buy silk."

Jiang Shiyou frowned and said, "The price of this silk has been very stable in recent years, and nothing has happened today. The price of silk is impossible to rise."

Xiong Feng said: "Guo Dan is very cunning. He must have a conspiracy to acquire silk in such a hidden way."
