Chapter 72: Unlucky Zhen Family

The Jiangdong Lu family was also the family that was basically annihilated by Sun Ce. It was also the family of Lu Xun, the last of the four heroes of Dongwu. This family is famous for shipbuilding. One of the four major Jiangdong families, but is slightly worse than the five wealthy merchants. Even so they are better than a big merchants like Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

"The Lu family." Chen Xi carefully thought about the pros and cons. Since the four major Jiangdong families marry each other, they are in the same spirit. Basically, it can be said that they advance and retreat together. That is to say, once the Lu family intervenes, the Jiangdong four major families are equivalent to joining. They all stretching out their hands is not a good thing for Liu Bei.

"Mi Zhu, are you sure that the Lu family will not notify the three families of Zhang, Gu, and Zhu? Or allow the Lu family to divide the profits with the three families, but try not to involve us, are you able to do this? Of course, the Lu family can try to hide it." Chen Xi thought for a while, then raised his head and said. Lu Xun's ability for him is still slightly greater than the previous plan.

"This matter is not difficult. The aristocratic families exist for their own interests. Therefore, it is not difficult for the Lu family to conceal this matter. It can even be directly pushed to me if necessary. After all, I have a good reputation among the merchants. The wealthy merchants." Mi Zhu responded with little thought, and he was right. The identity of Mi Zhu, one of the five great merchant, was enough to confuse most people. Even if someone doubted it, it was hard to think that it was due to Liu Bei's forces.

"Well, then you will handle this matter. Yangzhou will be given to the Lu family as a sale location, and the Shudi will be assigned to you. Tell Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, to clean up the Zhen family as soon as possible. Yongzhou and Sili are also assigned to them. If they can't figure it out, I will take back Jizhou." After passing another trouble to the professionals, Chen Xi felt it was necessary to notify Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping again to avoid the two people procrastination. To make money, they forget about the big things.

"The Zhen family?" Mi Zhu frowned. "Chen Xi and the Zhen family have an antagonism? If the enmity is not serious, I can act as an intermediary to mediate the conflict between the two parties. If it is not necessary, do not to provoke the Zhen family. Among the world's merchant, no matter whether you would you like to admit it or not, the Zhen family is definitely the strongest. They are likely more than twice as powerful as me, a new entrant."

"I don't want to, but the Zhen family did a bit too much, so I can only show them a little bit of color. Um, what is the main business of the Zhen family?" Chen Xi helplessly said that he did not want to do this either.

"Zhen family's business are food, salt industry, horses, cattle, sheep, tea, iron, smelting, silk, hemp, and transportation. They are very strong in each business, but the food, salt, and animal husbandry are the main ones." Mi Zhu said with a wry smile. He introduced Chen Xi to the Zhen family's property. He didn't want to collide with the Zhen family at all.

"It's really a big merchants with so many industries. It seems that it is not easy to break them, it is really troublesome." Chen Xi also scratched his head, and Mi Zhu admitted that he was strong, but they are very strong.

"So, that's why I said that if it's not necessary, don't provoke the Zhen family. The hidden strength of that family is too strong. At least for so many years, I haven't touched their bottom." Mi Zhu sighed and exhorted.

Chen Xi rolled his eyes. It would be strange if the Zhen family was not strong. Yuan Shao's son married Zhen Mi to win over the Jizhou family. After that, Cao Pi did the same thing. A family represented Jizhou, the wealthiest place at the time. This family can be an average family?

"Do it slowly, and I will clean them up when I have time. Although the Zhen family is strong, it is not strong enough to make me afraid." Chen Xi said indifferently.

The Zhen family is indeed strong, but it is obvious that their eyes are not very good. They were the first merchant to followed Yuan Shao. As a result, Yuan Shao was directly injured after losing a battle. Later, relying on Zhen Mi to catch Cao Pi's line, the result was a dispute between the sons. Cao Cao was later half-dead, and his family was basically gone. After finally seeing the light, Zhen Mi is dead, Cao Pi still cares about the Zhen family?

After Cao Rui came to power, the Zhen family was finally got lucky. Zhen Mi's son became the emperor. It was all good, but unfortunately the Zhen family was gone at that time...

For this kind of family, where the elder's brain is not normal, Chen Xi doesn't think it's difficult to clean them up.

"Oh, yes, Mi Zhu, I forgot to mention, since you have a wide network of merchants, you can bring these people together and form a team. So that the ability to resist risks is relatively strong, and the team can adjust various materials and freight rates can also be lowered. The cost will also be reduced, and with the number of people joining, the types of materials will also increase. As long as the deployment is good, it will save a lot of work." Chen Xi saw Mi Zhu smile bitterly, so he threw him an idea to not let him worry too much about the Zhen family's affairs. It was unsupervised dumping, even if Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang could not defeat the Zhen family, it is estimated that there will be no loss.

"Huh?" After Mi Zhu pondered for a moment, he looked at Chen Xi with bright eyes, "This method is very good, I didn't think Chen Xi was so proficient in business."

"Okay, Mi Zhu, business matters will be left to you. If you can spare your hands, don't make the Zhen family feel good, that's it." Chen Xi took out a volume of papers and began to review them, suggesting that Mi Zhu should do your things quickly and stop wasting time.

"I'll do it now, and I will remember to make the Zhen family not look good." Mi Zhu laughed, not dissatisfied with Chen Xi's behavior which is almost equivalent to serving tea and sending the guests off.

"Go, Mi Zhu, I am optimistic about you, you will become the world's largest merchant." Chen Xi said without lifting his head, and it seems that he has no sincerity, but Mi Zhu was laughing.

"Thanks for the good words!" Mi Zhu said while laughing.

Thanks to Chen Xi, Mi Zhu realized that the contacts in his hand can actually let everyone in the contacts make money, and it is a big profit. As the center of the contacts, if he can't defeat the Zhen family with these people, that can only say that he was incompetent, and naturally there was no dissatisfaction with Chen Xi's behavior.

After Mi Zhu left with a red face, Lu Su raised his head and looked at Chen Xi, who was bored and turning his pen in the main position, and said, "I found a problem."

"What is the problem? Where are the bully the male and female? Or is the judgment unfair somewhere, or did the bandits go down the mountain?" Chen Xi raised an eyebrow and quickly summarized a few common examples.

"No, it just seems that you, Chen Xi, know everything? And you are very proficient in everything." Lu Su said curiously.

"It's just powerful in theory. In actual operation, I can only fight with Zhao Kuo, so I'm commanding professional people." Chen Xi shrugged and told the truth.

"Hahaha, Chen Xi still has such humble times. Shouldn't you be very arrogant at this time and say,'I am a genius of heaven, I was born to know, what are the problems with these?'" Lu Su laughed, he did not believed Chen Xi at all, and imitated Chen Xi's arrogance when they were talking about the future.

"These days, no one believes the truth." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and work. I will take care of the autumn harvest today. Tomorrow Jian Yong and Zhao Yun will have brought back their accounts. If you make a mistake, just wait for it to be redone!" Chen Xi's remarked at once, and he solemnly left a bunch of work for Lu Su, saying that he will continued to hold tea and start thinking about future work.
