Chapter 125: I'll Lead Everyone to Make Money

~7 min read 1,342 words

"Shopkeeper Chen? Do I know him?" Jiang Jinshi muttered to himself, searching for relevant information in his mind.

A moment later, he realized that when he took Huasheng to buy cloth, the shopkeeper seemed to be surnamed Chen, and he refused to accept his silver when checking out.

"Invite him in." Since he knew him, Jiang Jinshi was also curious about the purpose of the other party looking for him.

Seeing that the big boss really knew the other party, the gate-guarding bandit felt very fortunate that he didn't accept the other party's silver just now.

Shopkeeper Chen outside the door looked eagerly at the half-open door, hoping that Jiang Jinshi still remembered him, a nameless person.

Soon the bandit walked out and beckoned to Shopkeeper Chen.

"Our big boss invites you in."

"Eh! Eh! Thank you, good man." Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed, arching his hands while walking inside.

When he saw Jiang Jinshi sitting in the main seat, Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly wiped the wrinkles on his clothes, stepped forward two steps and said, "Young Master... Jiang, long time no see!"

Jiang Jinshi stood up to welcome the guest, "Haha! Indeed, how has Shopkeeper Chen been lately?"

Then the two began to exchange pleasantries. Jiang Jinshi didn't expose it, silently waiting for Shopkeeper Chen to state his purpose.

Shopkeeper Chen exchanged pleasantries for two more sentences, and seeing that Jiang Jinshi was not a difficult person to talk to, he dared to speak cautiously: "Young Master Jiang, I have a question, I just don't know if it's convenient for Young Master Jiang to answer?"

"Shopkeeper Chen, just say it!" Jiang Jinshi added hot tea for Shopkeeper Chen.

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang!" Shopkeeper Chen took the teacup with both hands but didn't drink, then continued: "I know about last night's events and what Young Master Jiang said this morning.

I personally naturally believe in Young Master Jiang immensely, it's just that those timid neighbors of mine actually want to pack up and run away! I took the liberty to stop them temporarily, so I came to ask how Young Master Jiang intends to deal with them?"

Shopkeeper Chen said it very nicely, and also put himself in a very low position. This was the attitude he used to deal with the county magistrate before.

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Jinshi knew the purpose of the other party's visit, to probe how he would treat these merchants. As for the other party's claim of helping him stop those people, he wouldn't believe it at all.

Why could you, Shopkeeper Chen, stop others? Everyone was a merchant, no one was worse than anyone else!

Thinking about it, it was normal. Ordinary common people had no choice at all, and most people's family business and roots were here, while merchants had a choice, but didn't want to leave easily, so Shopkeeper Chen's visit happened.

Jiang Jinshi didn't speak, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if thinking about how to answer Shopkeeper Chen's question.

"Shopkeeper Chen! You didn't just ask this for your neighbors, you also asked it for yourself, right!"

Shopkeeper Chen smiled flatteringly, about to explain, but was interrupted by Jiang Jinshi's next words.

"Well asked! People who do big things must dare to think and act. On this point, Shopkeeper Chen is somewhat similar to me."

"I dare not be mentioned in the same breath as Young Master Jiang!" Shopkeeper Chen didn't know if there was a trap in this, but maintaining a humble attitude was always right.

Jiang Jinshi said sternly: "Since Shopkeeper Chen asked, then I won't hide it. Let me tell you my thoughts, and you can help convey them later."

"Thank you for your trust, Young Master Jiang, I will definitely convey it!"

Shopkeeper Chen was overjoyed. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He didn't see any airs from Jiang Jinshi. Maybe this was a good opportunity for him.

Regardless of whether these people chose to leave or stay, he could reap some benefits from it.

"I am preparing to create a Chamber of Commerce, and merchants who stay in the city can join my Chamber of Commerce. I will lead everyone to make money." Jiang Jinshi's plan was not a temporary idea; he had already had a detailed plan with Li Xinyue, and now was a suitable time.

"Chamber of Commerce?" Shopkeeper Chen's heart skipped a beat, fearing that this Chamber of Commerce was Jiang Jinshi's way of harvesting everyone's money bags.

"That's right! Chamber of Commerce, uniformly managed by my people. I will give different suggestions and rectification requirements for different industries. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that your revenue will be at least double what it is now!"

Hearing that the revenue would double, Shopkeeper Chen not only didn't have a trace of happiness, but instead became more convinced that this so-called Chamber of Commerce was a big pit.

His cloth shop had been open for many years, and even in the best times, the revenue was not double what it was now. After all, who bought cloth home to make clothes every day?

In these two days, quite a few people would leave Jiangcheng, and the subsequent revenue would only be more bleak. Doubling it was just a big cake drawn by Jiang Jinshi for these merchants in his view!

Of course, he thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and had to pretend to be interested, fearing that Jiang Jinshi would see the clues and kill him.

It was just that he had already made up his mind in his heart. After leaving here, he must race against time to leave Jiangcheng. He couldn't take care of everyone in the restaurant, so he should take care of himself first!

Jiang Jinshi felt that what he said was a bit empty, so he stood up and said to Shopkeeper Chen: "Shopkeeper Chen, wait a moment, I'll go to the back and get something for you, and you'll know!"

After Jiang Jinshi left, Shopkeeper Chen sat on pins and needles. Was his acting too bad just now?

If Jiang Jinshi saw his displeasure, wouldn't he be going to the backyard to sharpen his knife now!

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Chen stood up, wanting to walk out quietly.

Jiang Jinshi came to the next room, where Li Xinyue was. She heard the conversation between the two clearly just now.

"Xiao Yue, do you have any clothing design booklets? Give me one, I'll show it to Shopkeeper Chen." Jiang Jinshi lowered his voice, fearing that Shopkeeper Chen would hear it.

Li Xinyue checked in the system. She really didn't know where to find this thing for a while, and then she had a flash of inspiration and bought a men's shirt from the system mall for Jiang Jinshi.

Jiang Jinshi took the clothes and gave Li Xinyue a thumbs up.

When Jiang Jinshi returned to the hall, he happened to see Shopkeeper Chen walking stealthily.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Jiang Jinshi's voice, Shopkeeper Chen was startled and hurriedly explained in a panic: "I... my feet are a bit numb, just moving around."

Jiang Jinshi didn't care and beckoned to Shopkeeper Chen: "Shopkeeper Chen, come and see, I'll give you an example."

Shopkeeper Chen bit the bullet and walked up, finding that Jiang Jinshi was holding a piece of clothing in his hand.

"For example, Shopkeeper Chen, you are in the cloth business. Then, while selling cloth, we can also make ready-to-wear clothes for sale."

Shopkeeper Chen said without hesitation: "Ready-to-wear clothes can't be done! Everyone's size is different."

Jiang Jinshi knew that this era was like this. Basically, clothes were made according to measurements, focusing on being close-fitting, especially the shoulder line and other dimensions, which were even more rigorous.

"If the size ratio is set, and several different sizes are made for each type of ready-to-wear, wouldn't that solve it?" ===== CHAPTER 126 =====
