Chapter 725 Monopoly is Unacceptable
Knowing that Shen Ji was opening today, Zhong Yong invited Wang Qiang to have tea there.
Wang Qiang's family is in the building materials business and has nothing to do with food. They also have some cooperation with the Zhong family. The two families have a relationship where they don't interfere with each other and can make money together.
"What's the big deal?" Wang Qiang said nonchalantly. "With the strength of your Zhong family, it's not difficult to shut down this store."
Zhong Yong gave him a look that looked like a fool, "Why do you think I'm sitting here? Do you know where this Shen family came from?"
Wang Qiang was stunned. He really didn't know.
"You must know the name of Grand Tutor Shen," Zhong Yong put down his teacup. "The family below is the descendants of Grand Tutor Shen. They were exiled to northern Hubei."
Wang Qiang was even more confused, "You mean, they are fugitives?"
He is just a fugitive. What is Zhong Yong afraid of? And who allowed them to open a shop as fugitives?
Zhong Yong's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Other exiles are certainly not allowed, but the widow from the third branch of the Shen family is General Liang's cousin."
"What?" Wang Qiang was so shocked that he almost stood up. "They are related to the general."
Zhong Yong laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "It's not just a simple connection. I sent someone to watch this shop. This morning, my servant came back with a report that General Liang came this morning and stood at the gate of Shen's for a full quarter of an hour."
"Not only Liang Cheng, but also Zhang Zhiyao, the prefect of Ebei Prefecture, and another middle-aged man with a face as beautiful as jade. He must be the legendary Zheng Shicheng, the jade-faced military strategist of the Ebei Army, who has been making rounds for the past six months."
When Zhong Yong finished telling Wang Qiang the information he had learned, he was completely dumbfounded.
It was simply unbelievable. Shen Ji, whom he looked down upon, actually had so many people standing behind him!
"Then what do you think now, Brother Zhong?" Wang Qiang couldn't help but look down again and again.
He saw Wu, Lin, Liang, as well as sisters Shen Jun, Shen Shan and Shen Qingqian, and was a little dazed for a moment.
Although they were exiled convicts, the Shen family seemed to be living better than many other families with small or medium assets. No one would believe that they were orphans and widows.
Zhong Yong lowered his eyelids and did not answer Wang Qiang's question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that the Hubei Northern Army intends to let your Wang family take the lead in building the city wall."
Speaking of this, Wang Qiang immediately became happy and said, "Yes, and the conditions they offer are quite good, much better than us looking for work everywhere."
"We still have some wood left this year. I wonder if Brother Wang could recommend some to me." Zhong Yong raised his glass, but his look was one that could not be refused.
Wang Qiang's smile disappeared. In his heart, he cursed Zhong Yong a thousand times, but he didn't dare to offend him openly. He could only laugh and said, "Of course, there is no problem with the introduction, but Brother Zhong, you don't know that it has always been the Hubei North Army that contacted us. We don't even know who they are in contact with. Look at this..."
What I mean is, it’s not that I’m unwilling to make an introduction, but I don’t know who the person in charge is and I can’t contact him. If you want to get a piece of the pie, then you’ll have to find a way yourself.
In fact, if there was no other way, Wang Qiang would not want to associate with Zhong Yong. The main reason was that the Zhong family was too ruthless. No matter what industry, as long as the Zhong family wanted to do it, they would kill everyone else.
In modern terms, it is a monopoly, but monopoly is unacceptable!
Wang Qiang couldn't come up with any profound ideas, but he knew that if he wanted to do business for a long time, he couldn't have a monopoly.
