Chapter 140: Enjoy it when it’s time to enjoy it!
Ouyang Ronger really wanted to tell them that everything was Qin Chuan's conspiracy and not to believe him.
No matter what!
Not only is her life controlled by Qin Chuan, she also needs to obtain the formula of Babaixiang from Qin Chuan. She must endure it!
Finally she spoke and told Qingyue what she had been told.
"Everyone, the battle between Young Master Qin and Lin Shishi in three days will not only be a great event in the literary world, but also a time for us to show off our country's prestige! There will definitely be a large number of people pouring into the imperial capital, and the streets will be empty!
It is also a good opportunity for you to make a name for yourself and be looked up to by the seven great clans and even the royal family!"
This statement came out.
The wealthy businessmen who gathered around all looked puzzled.
Liu Jixuan, the owner of Qianling Medicine Shop, stroked his drooping eyebrows and said, "Miss Ouyang, I can understand the first half of your words, but I really don't understand the second half.
How can the flourishing literary world give us the opportunity to make a name for ourselves? How can we make them look up to us? "
"Yes, Miss Ouyang, we don't quite understand either. Please explain it in detail, Miss Ouyang!" Zhou Chang, the shopkeeper of Tianji Pavilion, asked with his eyes narrowed.
Ouyang Ronger recalled what Qin Chuan asked Qingyue to tell her, and explained: "Everyone, if someone from the Immortal Poetry side holds up a sign for you, it will tell you that you have contributed a lot to this literary flourishing event, and we are grateful for everything you have done!
In a situation like that with the streets empty, will your name become even more famous?
By then, when the people know your name, will they come to you when they need something?
The duel between Master Qin Chuan and Lin Shishi is about which country's literary world is superior, the Qian or the Qi state.
Your Majesty, the court officials, and the core figures of the seven major families will all be present.
If they knew that you were very concerned about the literary world of Qian Country, would they look up to you?"
Whether it is Liu Jixuan, Zhou Chang, or other wealthy businessmen, they are all shrewd people.
They didn't understand at first, but after Ouyang Ronger said this.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were opened and their faces lit up.
Although they had never seen anyone else do this, after analysis they knew the benefits.
Although Zhou Chang was short, he reacted the fastest. He trotted over to Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, I am willing to contribute my humble efforts to the literary world of Qian Country. I am willing to pay 5,000 taels of silver as a reward. I hope you can ask your people to inform us of the name of our Tianji Pavilion."
Qin Chuan put down the wine glass in his hand and pretended to be helpless and said: "This matter is decided by Miss Ouyang. Please ask Manager Zhou to talk to Miss Ouyang."
This method is similar to sponsoring large events on Earth. For most sponsors, it is a sure win. However, Qin Chuan has no idea whether the people of Qian Country will choose to do business with them in the future because of this sponsorship.
Therefore, he didn't want to take this risk and just left it all to Ouyang Ronger.
At the same time, doing so will also make other forces believe that Qin Chuan is a member of the Ouyang family, and they will not easily suspect that he is the emperor's man.
A look of surprise flashed across Zhou Chang's face, as if he had not expected that such a great poet would be controlled by the Ouyang family.
Qin Chuan even saw regret in his eyes.
Obviously, this guy had also planned to find a way to control Qin Chuan, but he just didn't implement the plan.
Seeing Qin Chuan passing the buck, Ouyang Ronger almost fainted with anger.
But she still steeled herself and said, "Everyone, talk to me."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Jixuan said, "My Qianling Medicine Shop is willing to invest 10,000 taels to fully support this grand event of Qianguo's literary world!"
"Haha, you really don't take me, Zhou, seriously? I'll give you 20,000 taels!" Zhou Chang added.
"We at Qingyang Tavern are willing to invest thirty thousand taels!" A young man stepped forward.
Hearing that they spent tens of thousands of taels at a time, Ouyang Ronger felt both annoyed and jealous.
Damn Qin Chuan, what kind of brain does he have, how could he come up with such an idea!
As the wealthy businessmen around made offers one after another.
According to Qin Chuan's instructions in advance, Ouyang Rong'er did not agree to any of them: "I have seen your sincerity, but the prefix of this literary event should not be too long, so there are only four places this time!
You don't have to rush to bid. Just tell me your final investment amount one hour before the competition.
In addition, I would like to remind you all not to let your peers take advantage of you, otherwise they will use this to gain fame, and you will be the ones who suffer! "
Liu Jixuan and others knew very well Ouyang Ronger's trick. She was trying to force them to raise the price.
However, they also felt that Ouyang Ronger was right.
Competitors are enemies. If there is a chance to increase your popularity and defeat your competitors, who can give up such an opportunity?
They did not want to give the initiative to others, so they came forward and begged Ouyang Ronger to reserve a spot tonight, and they were willing to offer a higher price.
How could Qin Chuan agree?
If we agree tonight and our competitors do not participate, the price will definitely be much lower than it will be three days later.
He secretly winked at Ouyang Ronger.
Ouyang Ronger pretended to be tough and said, "You don't have to say anything more. Just give me your answer in three days. I hope you can all make contributions to the literary world of Qian Country."
Say it!
Ouyang Ronger followed Qin Chuan's instructions and got off the boat without looking back.
Seeing this, Zhou Chang and others all looked unhappy.
Originally, they thought that the method Ouyang Ronger talked about could bring them many benefits, and there would be no loss even if they were unwilling to pay in the end.
Who would have thought that in just a few words, they would have to come up with more money.
Otherwise, the spot will be taken by competitors.
The situation is extremely disadvantageous to them as one side gains while the other loses.
"Alas, Miss Ouyang has always been so unkind. I, Qin Chuan, apologize to you all on her behalf!" Qin Chuan raised his glass and said it all.
When Zhou Chang saw that Qin Chuan was controlled so humbly by Ouyang Ronger, they felt even more regretful.
If they had chosen to use money to control Qin Chuan when he became famous, wouldn't they be the ones making money from this literary event?
However, as they confirmed that Qin Chuan was controlled by Ouyang Ronger, these guys began to look down on Qin Chuan to some extent.
After drinking a few glasses to get by, they all found excuses to get off the boat.
Soon the boat was empty, leaving only Qin Chuan, Qingyue and others.
Qingyue snorted angrily, "What a bunch of snobs! When His Majesty begged them to borrow money to raise military pay, they all pretended to be poor! Now that they see the benefits, they casually spend tens of thousands of taels. It's really hateful!"
"Haha, it's all over now. There's no need to be angry about it. If you think they are hateful, go tell Zhou Chang and his competitors about what happened tonight and force them to pay more money." Qin Chuan arranged.
"Brother Chuan, you are so awesome! What's wrong with your brain? How could you come up with such an idea?" Qingyue shook her head in admiration, and judging from her expression, she was completely impressed.
This fellow also took the opportunity to pretend: "Haha, there is no other way, who made you, Brother Chuan, full of wisdom!"
Qingyue had no intention of refutation. In her eyes, Qin Chuan was already the smartest person in the world.
In order to take revenge on those wealthy businessmen, Qingyue did not stay here any longer. She immediately went to find their shadow guards' spies scattered around the imperial capital and asked them to reveal what had just happened to Zhou Chang and others' competitors.
"Young master, it's late, shall we go back home?" Tian Tianci asked as he wrapped his clothes.
"it is good!"
Qin Chuan naturally would not stay here since he had achieved his goal.
He returned home quickly.
When the servants saw Qin Chuan coming back, they told him the message from Fang Yu.
"Ningyan, do you miss me? Why did you contact me on your own initiative?"
"Young Master, are you going?" Tian Tianci rubbed his hands.
"What's the matter? Do you have a lover in Yanzhi Tower?" Qin Chuan glanced at Tian Tianci.
"Young Master, I, Mr. Wolong, am the close friend of the Immortal Poet. There are countless beauties who have taken the initiative to throw themselves into my arms. The lover in Yanzhi Tower is just one of them." Tian Tianci said with a lewd expression.
"Hehehe, I have one too!" Niu Dali also grinned foolishly.
"Very good, not bad!"
Qin Chuan was very satisfied. As the saying goes, one should enjoy life while it lasts. Tian Tianci and the other two were loyal to him, so naturally he should enjoy himself when the time comes!
He laughed loudly and said, "In that case, let's go to Yanzhi Tower together!"
