Liu Dehai had never thought that his reputation would be so useful here. Today, just one sentence was enough to make the old man in front of him afraid to speak.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Dehai still stood beside Qian Ruoyu, wanting to know how Qian Ruoyu negotiated with the other party.

After all, if the deal is successful, I can earn a considerable amount of money.

Together with the silver that he had previously deposited with Qian Ruoyu, even if he returned to his hometown to retire at the age of fifty, that sum of money would be enough for him to live a very happy and carefree life in his hometown. Even the local county magistrate would not dare to do anything to him.

The old man said to Qian Ruoyu and Liu Dehai at this time.

"Perhaps I can discuss with you what you two have come here to discuss, but I may not be able to make the decision. If I really have to make the decision, I need to call out all the main characters..."

But after hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu was immediately certain that he just wanted to delay time.

Therefore Qian Ruoyu said calmly.

"No problem. Then you can call everyone over. But I'm afraid the price won't be the same then. Since you have no right to speak, why did you stand up just now? Are you trying to deceive us?"

The old man was also shocked when he heard these words suddenly.

Because Qian Ruoyu's words meant that if he couldn't keep his word, he might not be qualified to continue standing in this place.

And just after that, the old man wiped his forehead and said.

“This…this…”

"Well, in that case, I will make the decision reluctantly. If you two have anything to discuss, please let me know... If I have the final say, I will definitely make the decision for you two..."

But hearing him say this made Qian Ruoyu immediately certain that it seemed that the old man in front of him could indeed make the final decision on many things, but he just pretended not to know in order to delay time.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu still spoke with a calm energy.

"Since you can make the decision, from now on you must take out half of the revenue of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, and let me manage this half of the revenue in exchange for the safety of your Capital Chamber of Commerce in the capital!"

Halfway through listening, the old man swallowed.

Although it is not as exaggerated as he said before, it will at least cause serious damage to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, which is even more unacceptable to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

However, Qian Ruoyu had already decided to use this kind of division to completely destroy the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. This would also allow the Beijing Chamber of Commerce to complete its self-division, thus preventing the Beijing Chamber of Commerce from becoming larger and larger.

"This... Princess, your request is a bit too much. Is this your personal request or..."

Just after he finished saying this, Qian Ruoyu immediately retorted.

“Does it matter whose request it is?”

"Which is more important, the future economic lifeline of your Beijing Chamber of Commerce, or what I am saying now? Don't you think about it yourself?"

There was already a hint of threat in Qian Ruoyu's words.

The old man naturally heard Qian Ruoyu's threatening words, so he was speechless for a moment.

But Qian Ruoyu still spoke normally.

"I don't know your annual income, but if I just bring the account book over, I think I'll know everything, right?"

After Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, Jin Lianhua had already quickly left the place.

Although the old man didn't know where the golden lotus had gone, he still complained bitterly.

"This... Princess, aren't you making things difficult for us?"

"Even though our Beijing Chamber of Commerce does have a little money, it shouldn't be spent like this. What's more, there is a plague now, and our Beijing Chamber of Commerce doesn't have that much money right now!"

After hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu still looked calm, because she was waiting for the arrival of the golden lotus.

Jin Lianhua had just left to get the account book. Even though the account book was usually kept in the Capital Chamber of Commerce, Jin Lianhua had already searched the Capital Chamber of Commerce thoroughly before that, so she knew exactly where the account book was.

"Yeah?"

"But it doesn't matter. Seeing that you are still so stubborn, this princess is very relieved. If you didn't stick to your words, this princess would think there was something fishy going on!"

"But it doesn't matter. This princess will wait and see how much your Beijing Chamber of Commerce will be divided in the future. Now I just ask for a 50-50 split. If you don't want to, I can also split it 40-60!"

"You're four and I'm six!"

Qian Ruoyu's words naturally scared the old man thoroughly, but he still wanted to force himself, but at this time Jin Lianhua came over with a pile of things.

After Jin Lianhua came over, she threw the account book directly on the table, while Qian Ruoyu calmly patted the account book.

The moment he saw the account book, the old man was shocked.

"What's wrong? I'm sure you know this better than anyone else. Don't you know this account book? I didn't expect it to be in my hands. You should be familiar with it, right?"

Hearing Qian Ruoyu's words made the old man completely unable to remain calm. He had no idea where Jin Lianhua found the account book, and the account book was hidden in a place that not many people knew about.

There are no more than five people in the entire Beijing Chamber of Commerce who know where this account book is.

"Now that the things are in my hands, I don't want you to be stubborn. Our new requirement is no longer a 50-50 split, but a 40-60 split! I just want to ask you whether you agree or not!"

After all, the account book was in Qian Ruoyu's hands, so the results and situation were completely different.

This means that Qian Ruoyu can fully know the expenditure and income of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce in the past few months or even years. Just by taking a few casual glances, he can thoroughly understand all the connections of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

By then, both the partners of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce and the people behind it will instantly realize that they have been deceived by people inside the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

Even if the account books were made public, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce would probably be completely destroyed within a day!

At this time, Qian Ruoyu also picked up the account book from the table and took a few glances at it. He was surprised to find that the Beijing Chamber of Commerce's annual net income was actually more than 20 million taels of silver!

This amount is almost comparable to the income of the imperial court. Qian Ruoyu couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that the Beijing Chamber of Commerce would be so powerful!

No wonder no one dares to provoke them!
