    "Someone is coming, someone is coming! Someone has hanged himself here, help!" The shrill cry for help echoed over the Ningbo Guild Hall. Ma Martian tried hard to shake Zhong Zhengchun's body, as if this could save the life of the deceased.  It was normal, but the body temperature in his arms was getting cooler little by little, and the signs of life were disappearing little by little.  Finally, more than half an hour later, a doctor came to the flower hall under the guidance of the gatekeeper of the guild hall. However, the doctor only used his right hand to feel Zhong Zhengchun's pulse, then opened his eyelids and looked at his pupils, then shook his head and sighed.  "This gentleman has passed away." The doctor stood up, took the wet towel handed by the servant and wiped his hands: "It's better to prepare for his funeral! After death, mourning and honor are also very important!" Ma Mars Station  Standing up, he instinctively took out three silver coins from his arms and handed them over: "Thank you for bothering me at night, doctor!" The doctor took the silver coins and immediately had a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, doctors are like parents!" He added  After chatting for a few words, he stood up and left.  Ma Xingxing sent the doctor off and returned to Zhong Zhengchun. Suddenly, he found a corner of white silk exposed under the body, which seemed to have a few black and red words written on it. It should have fallen from Zhong Zhengchun's body just now.  Underneath the body.  He quickly took it out and took a look, only to see a dozen words written in blood: "You are a good person, those silver coins are for you, the guild is gone, I can only die to apologize to my ancestors!" The handwriting was round and correct.  It was Zhong Zhengchun's usual handwriting. It must have been written by biting off his finger just before hanging himself.  Liu Family Mansion.  With a lamp like a bean, Chen Zaixing and Liu Zhiping were sitting across from each other on a catalpa tree. Black and white were intertwined on the chessboard. Both of them frowned. They only made a move after a while. It was obvious that the battle was in full swing.  "Mr. Liu, Master!" Jiang Zhiqing leaned down and whispered: "All the members of the Shanghai Rice Industry Association have arrived, except for the president Zhong Zhengchun. They are all waiting outside!" "Yes!" Liu Zhiping nodded.  He nodded, but his eyes did not leave Catalpa Ping at all. He was playing with several chess pieces in his hand. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and placed a piece on Catalpa Ping.  Chen Zaixing, who was on the opposite side, was stunned when he saw this. He responded with a move, and Liu Zhiping immediately made a move. These moves were different from before. They were played very quickly. It was not like the long test that took a long time to make a move before, but it was like playing fast chess.  .  "Forget it, this world is Uncle Shi!" Chen Zaixing suddenly pushed the catalpa tree and sighed: "Uncle Shi is more experienced, but my nephew is still far behind!"  You're a little better than me. It's just that you were upset when you heard what happened outside, and that gave me the opportunity to take advantage of you!" Liu Zhiping said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'Everything in the world is like a chess piece.' Things in this world are like black and white.  , in many cases, the competition is not about strength, but about ability and character. My dear nephew, you still need to think hard about these two aspects!" "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your advice!" Chen Zaixing stood up and said  "What's the hurry? Let them wait! We can talk later!" "Uncle Shi said yes!" Chen Zaixing nodded in admiration. It is indeed not a coincidence that Liu Zhiping became a leader in Shanghai's business community.  Zhi, just trying to figure out how to play with people's hearts is what he has to learn all his life. Fortunately, he and he are in the same boat, otherwise things would not be so easy.  The reception room of the Liu Family Mansion was packed with people. Dozens of rice merchants were standing or sitting. The cup of tea in front of them had been drained and added with water. After adding water, it had long been washed out and tasteless, but these rice merchants still took a sip.  When they drank it, it was not that they were thirsty, but that the fire in their stomachs was rising.  "Oh, it's my fault for keeping you all waiting for so long. Please forgive me! Please forgive me!" Liu Zhiping walked in from the door with a smile on his face.  Chen Zaixing wore a green robe and followed Liu Zhiping.  "Mr. Liu, you are an elder in Shanghai's business community. We are all juniors in front of you. It is not natural for juniors to wait for their elders!" "That's right, that's right, don't say just wait for this moment, even if you wait a day and a night, it's right!" "  The villain is usually afraid of disturbing Mr. Liu's purity, so he rarely comes to visit, so I apologize to Mr. Liu first. "The rice merchants stood up quickly. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they put smiles on their faces and bowed to Liu Zhiping.  .  Chen Zaixing watched everyone's performance from behind, and couldn't help but think to himself: "These people are afraid that they want to eat Liu Zhiping alive, and even smile on their faces. If they don't take this opportunity to completely dismantle the guild."  I'm afraid there will be many hidden dangers in the future!" Liu Zhiping sat down on the main seat, and Chen Zaixing stood beside him. He was wearing ordinary clothes, and he seemed to be just an ordinary servant in the mansion, and the rice merchants were not there either.  Take him seriously.  Mi Shangqiang, the older man at the head, said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you sent Yu Laoqi to send us a message. We came over immediately after hearing it. Please alsoShow me!  " "Actually, it is simple to say, there are only two requirements, first: reduce the price of rice to 50%; second, sell Burmese rice.  I think you all know this, right?  " "This, Mr. Liu!  The leading rice merchant considered his words and said with a smile: "Our purchase cost is not low. It is really embarrassing to drop it to 50%. Can we discuss it?"  As for Burmese rice, our association has been selling Liangzhe rice for so many years. It would be inconvenient to switch to Burmese rice all of a sudden!  "    "inconvenient?  Liu Zhiping smiled slightly and shouted outside: "Liu Yunping!"  " "Master!  "A capable middle-aged man walked in. Liu Zhiping asked: "How much money does this person have with our bank?  " "Sir, this owner owes our bank a total of 2,400 taels of silver for one year. The interest is calculated based on the annual interest rate. The collateral is four of their stores. The loan is due in two months.  .  " Hearing what Liu Yunping said, the rice merchant's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu!  Mr. Liu!  I didn't mean that, that's not what I meant!  Liu Zhiping, however, seemed not to have heard at all, and ordered to his subordinates: "Tell this owner that due to the operating reasons of their store, Houde Bank will not renew the loan after it expires. Please ask him to  Repay the principal and interest within the deadline, otherwise you will be sorry!  " "Mr. Liu!  Mr. Liu!  I really didn¡¯t mean that!  Really do not have!  "The rice merchant was almost crying. He threw himself to the ground and crawled towards Liu Zhiping on both hands and feet. There was an extra pair of legs in front of him. When he looked up, it was Liu Yunping who said to him with a big smile:  "My boss, you just heard our master's instructions. Please step back and prepare for repayment as soon as possible. Please remember that the deadline is fifteen days later, otherwise only the government will see you!  "Having said this, Liu Yunping stretched out his right hand and made a "please get out" gesture. Looking at the slumped back of the rice merchant, everyone couldn't help but shudder. They were done with eliminating this person, even if he went to sell the goods now  , I am afraid that he may not be able to repay the bank loan and interest. The reason is very simple. At this time, everyone knows that he is going to sell goods, and they will keep the price low. One hundred taels of silver can be sold for ten dollars.  Thank God for two. In the end, I had to lose all my shop and belongings before I could pay off the money. Seeing that a prosperous rice merchant was reduced to a beggar on the street in the blink of an eye, everyone felt the rumors about Liu Zhiping.  The ruthless means in his hands "Everyone, please speak clearly today!"  The Rice Trade Association can no longer exist. If you accept Liu¡¯s conditions, more than 60% of the rice sold in the store must be Burmese rice, and your store must give up 30% of the shares to Mr. Chen, and the price will be paid in Burmese rice.  .  "Liu Zhiping pointed to Chen Zaixing on the side: "Then you can continue to open your business, and you can also get support from me and Mr. Chen.  Otherwise, it will be the same as the one just now. At most, I will just open a few rice banks if I am overwhelmed. It will only be more trouble!  Who supports and who opposes, please stand up!  " There was silence in the reception room. Finally, a rice merchant raised his hand and replied: "I accept it!  "His voice was like a signal, and all the rice merchants raised their hands to express their support. "I support it too!  "    "support!  "    "support!  " Soon, the last rice merchant also raised his hand, and Liu Zhiping showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, in this case, we are a family, Yunping, come and count the sales of their stores with all the owners.  The price of the shares.  " "Yes, sir!"  "Liu Yunping bowed respectfully to Liu Zhiping, then walked up to a rice merchant, handed over a brush and notepad filled with ink, and said with a smile: "This boss, please also write down 30% of your store's shares.  The required amount of silver!  " The rice merchant was holding the brush in his hand, but his arms couldn't help shaking. It was as if what he was holding was not a bamboo pipe, but a heavy burden. Liu Yunping on the side smiled and said: "This boss must not write about Shao Shao.  Otherwise, it won¡¯t be worth the loss!  " After hearing Liu Yunping's words, the rice merchant shook his wrist and almost dropped the ink. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and wrote down a number. He put the pen aside, turned his head away, and stopped looking at the next page.  "Thank you so much, boss!  "Liu Yunping sang a promise, walked to the next rice merchant, handed over the pen and paper, and said with a smile: "This boss is in trouble!  " Chen Zaixing stood next to Liu Zhiping, watching the rice merchants write down the prices on the books, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart. He naturally knew that at this time, the rice merchants could only sell their shares at the lowest price, otherwise  The person just now is a lesson for them. These rice merchants have many small shareholders. Even the shop owners often only have 60 to 70% of the shares. If they sell 30% to themselves at once, plus they control more than 60% of their supply, it is equivalent to  Talk about ShanghaiThe food supply of Dashun and even the richest and largest city in the Far East has fallen into his own hands.  When he thought of this, Chen Zaixing was filled with uncontrollable excitement.  Thanks to the book friends Raccoon and stainless_lotus for their tips. The popularity system of Chuangshi requires a high level of activity among book friends, so even if there are many people reading the book, the author will get very little support if they just read the book. Now I finally  I understand that just coding is not enough.
