A street corner.

On the wall of Fangzi, a bright red notice suddenly appeared.

The color is so eye-catching that passers-by are attracted to it.

Someone asked, "Is it a notice from the government?"

Next to him, a man in his thirties, dressed as a scholar, shook his head and said, "No, no, this is a notice from the West Datang Company."

"West Datang Company? But the West Datang Company that makes cotton cloth?"

The scholar said: "That's right, it was the West Datang Company founded by Ping Xibo and Chen Chu. It said that since the West Datang Company invited everyone to join, as of yesterday, the entire Datang, and hundreds of counties, have not Franchise stores, in order to enable those who have dreams to realize their dreams, the West Datang Company decided to give out 50 yuan, interest-free loan for three years to the franchisees, to help everyone open their own franchise stores..."

hiss?

All the people present gasped.

50 guan?

Interest-free loan for three years?

What a great handwriting.

Even in a famine year, the imperial court took out money to lend money, and it was not so generous.

"Ping Xibo, you are really the savior."

"I'm going to see what the conditions are for this interest-free loan."

"Zhang Ergou, don't meddle in it. Anyone who can open a franchise store is either rich or expensive. Look at your house. The whole family only has one pair of pants. Whoever goes out wears them. What do you use to open a franchise store? ?”

"Ha ha……"

The crowd roared with laughter.

The young man named Zhang Ergou blushed and said, "Whoever says it can't, it's already said above, you can take out a loan to open a franchise store without paying any interest..."

The crowd laughed again.

Among the crowd, a young man in green clothes and a soap horn hat slowly backed out, and then galloped towards a carriage not far away.

The servant took three steps in parallel, opened the curtain of the carriage, and got in.

In the carriage, sat a middle-aged man in a black robe, with his hair tied up and a golden crown.

It was Zheng Feiyuan of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Zheng Feiyuan asked: "How, what news can I hear?"

The young man took a breath and said, "Master, the big thing is not good. The Xidatang Company actually wants to take out 50 yuan and hand it over to the eldest grandson's family for a three-year interest-free loan, so that those who have no money, They all went to various places to open franchise stores.”

Hearing this, Zheng Feiyuan's complexion changed.

"hiss."

"West Datang Company, this is the director of the department targeting me, Mrs. Zheng."

"There's no reason..."

"50 million guns..."

"Hurry up, go back to the mansion, I want to report this matter to my father."

Two healthy horses, pulling the carriage, quickly passed through the street.

Zheng Feiyuan rushed back to Zheng's mansion non-stop, and ran to the backyard to meet Zheng Chengdong immediately.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zheng Chengdong holding a notice posted by Xidatang Company in his hand.

"Father, it seems that you know everything." Zheng Feiyuan said.

Zheng Chengdong nodded and threw the notice aside with a gloomy expression on his face.

boom.

Zheng Chengdong slapped the table with a slap, and said in a cold voice: "The West Datang Company is indeed Li Erlang's murder weapon. I, Zheng, just announced that I would produce cotton cloth, and just invited the gentry to open franchise stores, so he let the West Datang Company The company provided 50 yuan for interest-free loans, such a big deal, such a big conspiracy, he didn't intend to give me Zheng's life, and wanted to eat up my Zheng's cloth business in one fell swoop, it's unreasonable..."

Zheng Feiyuan asked: "Father, what should we do now?"

Zheng Chengdong thought for a while, and said: "This matter is not difficult...Since Li Erlang is pressing every step of the way, we don't have to be timid. You call the nobles, I, Zheng, are willing to give 20 yuan for interest-free loans. At the same time, If anyone is willing to open a franchise store, Mrs. Zheng can use the property as a guarantee to guarantee that the person who opens the franchise store will make money within half a year..."

"Father, if this is the case, we will be desperate." Zheng Feiyuan was a little worried.

Zheng Chengdong sneered and said: "I don't want my child to be caught by a wolf. This time, I will take a gamble. After I succeed, my Zheng family will become the largest cloth merchant in the world. Then the Xidatang Company will be in a slump, so why not be afraid..."

The old Zheng Chengdong suddenly became arrogant.

……

Chapter 343

Zheng Chengdong's confidence lies in the fact that the Zheng family can also produce cotton cloth.

Moreover, Zhang Zhen has already patted his chest to promise that as long as a period of time is given, the quality of cotton cloth will surpass that of West Datang Company.

At that time, I, Mrs. Zheng, will still be in control of the cloth business in this world.

Zheng Feiyuan nodded: "Father, I'm going to arrange manpower and tell the world the news, so that we don't fall too far behind the West Datang Company..."

Zheng Chengdong nodded: "My son, go quickly and get this matter done. Speed ​​is the most important thing. We are going to attack the Western Datang Company. Naturally, the sooner the better."

"Father, I know."

Zheng Feiyuan agreed, turned and left.

On the same day, Zheng also posted his own notice.

Inform the people of the world that Zheng is willing to provide 20 guan to lend money to those who join Zheng's cloth line without interest. You can make money within half a year.

As soon as this news came out, it directly overshadowed the limelight of the West Datang Company.

Compared with the West Datang Company, Zheng's loan money is indeed much less.

However, Zheng has a guarantee.

From this point of view, only joining Zheng's will make a steady profit without losing money.

For a while, many people threw themselves into Zheng's Buxing's embrace.

Even some merchants who have already joined the Western Datang Company acted according to the wind and made fools of themselves. They refunded the joining fee and joined Zheng's cloth instead.

For Zheng Shi, the form is simply very good.

The streets and alleys of Chang'an City are all discussing the West Datang Company and Zheng's Buxing.

There are many people who stay on the street with cartloads of Kaiyuan Tongbao, not to show off their wealth, but simply because they don't know whether to choose Zheng's cloth line or Western Datang Company.

For Datang, this was an unprecedented event.

The historians directly recorded the matter in the history books.

Of course, at this point, no one knows what will happen next.

People couldn't even guess whether it was the West Datang Company or Zheng's Buxing who won the final victory.

……

South of Chang'an City.

Here, there is a cloth base of the Zheng family, where hundreds of people work as hired workers to produce linen for the Zheng family.

Originally, this was the largest cloth workshop in Chang'an City, but now it is nothing compared to the cotton factory of the West Datang Company.

There is a pungent smell all around.

The surrounding can only be described as dirty and messy.

in a yard.

Zhang Zhen, who had betrayed the cotton factory of the West Datang Company, was leading a few craftsmen who also came from the cotton factory, and was studying something repeatedly.

Below Zhang Zhen, everyone had disheveled hair and pale faces.

In order to improve the cotton cloth, they have not slept or rested for ten days.

Unfortunately, the cotton cloth produced is no different from the past.

Zhang Zhen scratched his head and said, "What can I do? I promised Old Sun that within three months, Zheng's cotton cloth would surpass that of West Datang Company. Now, half a month has passed, but No progress, impossible..."

"You all know the old man's temper. If the cotton cloth cannot be taken out by the due date, all of us will die."

"I heard from Lao Zhang before that, at the beginning, the group of people who made linen were quietly killed dozens of people because of poor dyeing."

When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

Cotton cloth production instructions are in hand, and there is also experience in cotton factories.

Zhang Zhen thought it was a trivial matter.

As everyone knows, he has not mastered the core of cotton cloth production.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a figure appeared in the yard.

Looking back, Zhang Zhen hurriedly dropped the tool in his hand, ran forward, and said obsequiously, "Master!"

The person who came was Zheng Feiyuan.

Zheng Feiyuan glanced around, and asked: "Zhang Zhen, let me take a look. How is your cotton cloth? Is there any better cotton cloth than before? You said that at the beginning, at most one month, let Zheng's cloth The best cotton cloth can be compared to the West Datang Company, so don't let me down..."

Beside, an old man was about to speak.

Zhang Zhen glared at the other side suddenly.

Then, Zhang Zhen turned around, ran into the house, came back with a piece of cotton cloth in his arms, and said to Zheng Feiyuan: "Master, please look, this is the cotton cloth we just made today, and the cotton cloth from the cotton factory of the West Datang Company." How do you compare?"

During this time, Zheng Feiyuan was researching the West Datang Company.

Naturally, he is also very familiar with the cloth of the West Datang Company.

As soon as he got started, Zheng Feiyuan felt a big difference.

The feel is different.

It also looks much more delicate.

He couldn't believe it: "This... is this really the cotton cloth you made?"

The other craftsmen were dumbfounded.

Zhang Zhen nodded affirmatively: "Master, this is the cotton cloth I made today."

"Okay!" Zheng Feiyuan said happily, "This cotton cloth has already caught up with the cotton cloth of the West Datang Company... Zhang Zhen, you have done a good job, I will reward you well, no, you are no longer short of money... By the way, I see that you go in and out by yourself, I, Zheng Shi, happen to have a thirty-year-old widow, how about I betroth her to you?"

widow?

Zhang Zhen's first reaction was to refuse.

Now that he has money, he can't find anything beautiful.

But after thinking about it, although the other party is a widow, she is a member of the Zheng family.

By marrying the other party, it is equivalent to becoming a part of the Zheng family.

He immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, Master, I will kowtow to Master..."

Zhang Zhen really lay on the ground, and gave Zheng Feiyuan three bangs.

Zheng Feiyuan was overjoyed, and said: "Okay, Zhang Zhen, I really didn't misread you... You work hard, and within three months, let my Zheng's cotton cloth surpass that of the West Datang Company, and wait for Zheng's cloth to stabilize." Come down, and I will organize a wedding for you..."

"Thank you sir!"

Zhang Zhen looked overjoyed, with a chrysanthemum-like smile blooming on his face.

Zheng Feiyuan waved his hand: "Everyone has worked hard, I am the master, I will reward you with a thousand guan..."

Craftsmen are all overjoyed.

Then, Zheng Feiyuan said: "Give me this cotton cloth, I want to take it back, show it to my father and the elders of the clan, and let them see who else has joined my Zheng's cloth line..."

Suddenly, Zheng Feiyuan became energetic.

He asked people to bring cotton cloth and left in a hurry.

When Zheng Feiyuan left, the craftsmen rushed over and surrounded Zhang Zhen.

"Engineer, the cotton cloth you just gave the master is clearly made by the cotton factory of the West Datang Company, not ours at all. If you do this, don't you worry about being exposed?" An old man asked anxiously.
