Chapter 148 Ali is in trouble
Chapter 148: Alibaba is in trouble
"No, the master is inside, I naturally have to watch outside, and...I think... this place is not simple, if I don't stay outside, I won't feel at ease." Dugu Zhantian entered the character very quickly, and the brother now spoke completely with a servant's mentality.
Bai Qi was speechless at this, glanced at Dugu Zhantian and patted Dugu Zhantian on the shoulder, and said with some emotion: "You... I really... I don't know what to say to you... But... no matter what... Thank you... Also, don't call me master in the future, just call me Bai Qi... I treat you as a friend."
"No... the master is the master. The water splashed out by the words said by the Dugu family. I said that if I lose for life, I will never change it." Dugu Zhantian said stubbornly, with a firmness on his cold face.
"This...ah...let's go, you haven't had a meal early in the morning... Let's go for dinner first, and the two guys Bezos and Li Xunhuan don't need to pay attention. I think they will get up later." He glanced at Dugu Zhantian and Bai Qi said helplessly. If it were someone else, Bai Qi might persuade him. However, Dugu Zhantian and Bai Qi never thought about this problem. The two have been in contact for a long time. This guy is just a timid, his mind is extremely hard, like a rock indestructible... The words of others cannot affect his will at all. He only does what he wants... It's useless to persuade him, let alone Bai Qi, not to mention Bai Qi, he probably doesn't even use his father's words.
Bai Qi took Dugu Zhantian and walked out. Bai Qi took two hundred gold coins to pay the bill with generously, and then took Dugu Zhantian away from Baihuayuan with pain, found a place to eat something casually, and then Bai Qi drove Dugu Zhantian back... Originally, this guy still wanted to follow him, saying that he would always follow Bai Qi, but in the end he was driven back in an orderly tone.
Then Bai Qi headed towards the commercial area of Southeast Street, where Bai Qi's other servant, Ali, was there. The store that Bai Qi bought was there, and I think Alibaba would be there... Almost a year has passed, Bai Qi has never seen Ali before, and he doesn't know what the business situation is now. Thinking of this, I feel like I feel like I'm over.
In the early morning, Bai Qi walked on the street. Looking at the lively scenes around him, he felt a lot of emotion. The crowds were surging, like a tide. Almost every few streets, Bai Qi could see a "Carrefour" store with a bronze sign hanging on it. From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that Ali is doing a good business. Seeing that every store is so prosperous, Bai Qi was extremely satisfied.
There was a beautiful purple thorn flower in front of a store, and flames were burning above the flowers. In addition, Bai Qi also clearly saw several stores that did not belong to the "Carrefour" category. They were obviously taverns or other stores, but they also had the same logo. I don't know what Alibaba has done in almost a year, but just looking at these, it is not difficult to see Alibaba's achievements.
I think this genius businessman from the Canadian Blue Empire has achieved considerable results in almost a year...
"Sir, do you want something? We have everything here, please choose... The Carrefour store chain ensures that you can find any daily items you want." After Bai Qi walked into Southeast Street, what caught his eye was a large supermarket with about twenty stores side by side, divided into two floors of upper and lower floors. Countless items were placed neatly, and it looked no different from the supermarket Bai Qi had seen in his previous life. Of course, if you had to say the difference, there was no electronic equipment, and of course there was better service. When Bai Qi approached, a beautiful woman hurried over and whispered to Bai Qi.
"This... I'll look for your boss." Bai Qi smiled slightly after hearing this, looked around with satisfaction and said so.
However, these words changed the faces of several big men in uniform costumes and the woman talking to Bai Qi. Then they looked at Bai Qi and showed strong vigilance.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong with your boss? I'm his friend..." Bai Qi was? As soon as everyone's expressions appeared, Bai Qi's face changed and he asked in a low voice.
"You... are really our boss's friend? But... our boss is from the Jialan Empire... you..." One of the old men who were around 60 years old who looked like the person in charge of this place came over, looked at Bai Qi hesitantly, and then whispered, obviously he didn't believe Bai Qi very much.
"Of course...my surname is Bai...your boss should have mentioned me..." Bai Qi didn't mind. Not only did these people's performance not only Bai Qi was not angry, but he was a little happy. This proves the loyalty of these people to the Zijin Flower Chamber of Commerce, which proves that these people are loyal to themselves.
"The surname is Bai? Your surname is Bai? Are you Mr. Bai? It's great. Yesterday, when the master had an accident, he told us to find Mr. Bai. But he fainted before he finished speaking. Now he was lying in the mansion. We were worried about what to do... Unexpectedly, you came..." The old man said excitedly after hearing this, and held Bai Qi's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"What? Something happened to Alibaba? What happened?!" Bai Qi's face changed after hearing this and asked quickly. Alibaba is Bai Qi's long-term economic pillar, which must not happen to anything. If something happened to Alibaba, Bai Qi would be depressed.
However, Bai Qi was a little depressed that the Bauhinia Flower Chamber of Commerce had found two guys Bezos and Li Xunhuan. Although he didn't say it clearly, he also vaguely told them that they were their own chamber of commerce. These two guys even made a special statement that the Purple Gold Flower Chamber of Commerce was followed by them. Many high-ranking children and nobles in the capital should know that there should be no blind things to cause trouble. Unless he doesn't want to be in the capital.
"This... it's not that others are watching the Zijin Flower Chamber of Commerce develop too fast, and it has already occupied all the markets in the Wangdu. They have taken a fancy to this industry, but they have no way to enter this industry. Several chambers of commerce have entered this industry, but our Zijin Flower Chamber of Commerce has a good reputation, and almost every lively place has our stores, and everyone will choose us. They have no business, so they united to ask the master to give up the shares to them. The master refused, so they joined forces with several nobles to come to them... As a result, they took action after a disagreement. As a result, the master is still lying at home and they prevented all the pharmacists from treating the master, and also prevented our people from going to the temple. Now they are forcing their wife to transfer the Zijin Flower Chamber of Commerce to them.
You should know that merchants have no status and are very low. Unless they can faint as the Tehran family, they can beat and scold them at will, and although they cannot be killed at will, they are indeed a common trick for Stone to do this.
Of course, even at the level of the Tehran family, it is impossible to compete with the state machine. How powerful was Ali in the past? According to that guy, his property was probably not less than that of the Tehran family. What would happen in the end? He ended up losing his family and exiled to a foreign land. If it weren't for the wise guards whom he raised were loyal, he wouldn't even be able to even reach Bavaria. Despite this, he died all the guards he went to Bavaria, his wife was sick, and he had no copper coins on his body. If he hadn't met Bai Qi, he wouldn't know what would happen.
Of course, the situation like Ali is a minority. Generally speaking, the kingdom gives you a title for merchants. If you know the truth, it would be better to pay more money immediately. Paying tribute every year will benefit everyone, but the blame is that the emperor of the Blue Empire is too greedy. He kills chickens and gets eggs. If an emperor with a little brain or is not so greedy, he will definitely not do that.
"It's outrageous! Take me to see." Bai Qi became angry on the spot, punched the pillar next to him and said coldly, and asked the person in charge to take him to Ali's home.
Alibaba's home is not far from here. Within a large and high-gate house, the house is good, there are hundreds of houses and two gardens, which are decorated very luxuriously. Bai Qi didn't mind because he told Alibaba before that Alibaba accounts for 30% of the chamber of commerce. Bai Qi said before that Alibaba used it to buy a garden. After all, you have to know that Alibaba is the boss of the Zijin Flower Chamber of Commerce on the surface. Once you have money, you can't make it too shabby to avoid being seen.
When Bai Qi came to the door of Ali's house, he found that more than twenty burly men were standing at the door of Ali's house, looking at passers-by with cold expressions. The servants at the door of Ali's house stood there timidly and did not dare to come out. They looked at each other on both sides... These strong men blocked all those who entered Ali's house...
Of course, the most eye-catching thing about them is the shape of the sword and shield on their chest above their gray clothes.
Bai Qi naturally recognized this logo and was deeply impressed because it represented a family... a huge family, and the family was not friendly with Bai Qi... the Dober family! The family of his stepmother Matasha, the family of the business minister, Marquis Dober... a family that started out in business and has now penetrated into politics. Although it is not the oldest family in Rose City or the most prominent family,... all the noble families in Rose City, the Dober family can rank in the top ten... From this, they can imagine their hugeness.
