Chapter 146 Xianli Chamber of Commerce
After learning the news, countless people flocked to Jinyang City, all for the pursuit of the illusory fate of immortals.
For a time, Jinyang City was crowded with people, and all the streets and alleys were crowded with people. All the inns, including farmers' homes, were full of outsiders.
It was also the rumors of these days that let Shen Ziyi know who Zhang Fulong was.
Shen Ziyi began to show off, with a haughty look. In the future, he is also a person with background and strength, and he doesn't need to work hard at all. If anyone dares to provoke him and compete with him, Shen Ziyi will say.
I am from Fulong Temple, my master is Zhang Fulong, and my senior brother Han Li, who is not afraid of death can come out to compete.
Let me ask, who dares to breathe.
When seeing Shen Ziyi showing off like this, Zhang Fulong said nothing and directly asked him to eat a slap on the head. He was young and didn't learn well, but he had to learn to pretend.
After teaching Shen Ziyi a lesson, Zhang Fulong went to see someone.
Since his identity was exposed, everyone knows where he lives. These days, many people came to the orphanage to ask to see Zhang Fulong.
Unfortunately, Zhang Fulong did not see any of them, because Zhang Fulong knew what they wanted to do.
Without Zhang Fulong, these people did not dare to barge in, so they had to retreat obediently.
And the person Zhang Fulong was going to see today was named Qi Hua, an ordinary middle-aged man, who was the manager of the Xianli Chamber of Commerce in Jinyang City.
Zhang Fulong had a reason to see him.
"I am Qi Hua, the manager of the Xianli Chamber of Commerce in Jinyang City. I have met the Immortal Master."
When Qi Hua saw Zhang Fulong for the first time, he saluted Zhang Fulong. Originally, he had no hope, after all, Zhang Fulong had rejected so many people's visits.
He never thought that Zhang Fulong actually agreed to see him, which was really a pleasant surprise.
"Please sit down."
Zhang Fulong had no expression on his face and asked Qi Hua to sit down. After Qi Hua sat down, Zhang Fulong asked again: "Why did you come here to see me?"
Zhang Fulong deliberately asked what the other party wanted to do. Zhang Fulong had already known in his heart that the reason he met him was to let the other party understand one thing.
If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself.
"I came to see the immortal master because I want to participate in the construction of the Taoist temple. My Xianli Chamber of Commerce has strong funds and complete materials, which can speed up the construction of the Taoist temple.
Don't worry about the cost, the immortal master, my Xianli Chamber of Commerce will provide it all for free. I only ask the immortal master to allocate a place for me to listen to the Tao."
Qi Hua was so smart that in just a few days, the number of people in Jinyang City was full, and it was difficult to move.
Qi Hua went to see the Taoist temple under construction. It looked very large and could accommodate about 10,000 people. But compared with so many people, these 10,000 people were not enough.
What to do if there were not enough? Qi Hua thought about it, which must involve the issue of admission tickets. Otherwise, how could these families in Jinyang City do this so wholeheartedly for Zhang Fulong? Zhang Fulong must have promised them something.
Qi Hua came to Zhang Fulong to ask Zhang Fulong to allocate him a place to listen to the teachings through funding. He was not short of money, but the opportunity to cultivate immortality.
Zhang Fulong stared at Qi Hua and said, "If I agree, will this place to listen to the teachings be given to you or to the Xianli Chamber of Commerce?"
Seeing that his thoughts were exposed by Zhang Fulong, Qi Hua was embarrassed and said, "To be honest with you, Master, I am asking for a place to listen to the teachings for my descendants."
Who doesn't have selfish motives, and Qi Hua is no exception. His descendants have no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate immortality. If they want to rise, they can only rely on Zhang Fulong's opportunity to preach.
"It seems that Manager Qi has made a lot of money some time ago."
Zhang Fulong looked at Qi Hua meaningfully. That's right, some time ago, the rumors in Jinyang City were spread secretly by Qi Hua.
It has to be said that Qi Hua has a talent for business and has learned to use public opinion to conduct marketing. It's a pity that his talent is used in the wrong place. He took this ill-gotten wealth. Don't you think it's hot?
Qi Hua was shocked by Zhang Fulong's look. He didn't expect that he did it so secretly that several families in Jinyang City couldn't find it, but Zhang Fulong easily knew it. He really deserves to be the immortal master of Fulong Temple. He is really amazing.
"I am willing to donate all my property. Please have mercy on me, immortal master."
Qi Hua really regretted it at the beginning. If he had known this, he would not have done it. I don't know if it's too late to make up for it now.
"I said that anyone who is destined to preach can come and listen to it, so housekeeper Qi should go back."
Zhang Fulong issued an order to expel him. Pity him? Then who will pity the people who have been harmed by him. There is no turning back after the thing is done. It is not a simple sentence of donating all the property to make up for it.
Seeing that Zhang Fulong was determined and would not give him a chance to reform, Qi Hua did not stay any longer and left the orphanage.
Unexpectedly, he was happy when he came, but when he left, he was so sad.
"Hmph~ If you don't give me a place to listen to the Taoism, then you can forget about building this Taoist temple."
Qi Hua showed a vicious expression on his face. Since I can't listen, no one should listen. What Fulong Temple Immortal Master is nothing in the wilderness.
Or their Xianli Chamber of Commerce is powerful, with influence throughout the eight regions. There are strong people in the Tribulation Period at the headquarters, and there are also many great masters in the Mahayana Period.
Qi Hua didn't believe it. Xianli Chamber of Commerce would be weaker than Fulong Temple. It was just that Fulong Temple was more famous, and everyone gave him a face. He really thought he was so good, and he was shameless.
After Qi Hua returned, he told his subordinates that Xianli Chamber of Commerce would stop selling all materials in recent months, especially building materials and other items, and only sell some high-end products.
"Xianli Chamber of Commerce won't sell us anything, and we can't gather so many materials in a short time. What should we do?"
Qi Hua's operation stopped the construction of the entire dojo. The heads of several families in Jinyang City gathered together to discuss.
There was not much time to begin with, and now the materials are stuck, which is really a headache. Even if we go to other places to transport them, there is not enough time.
"Why don't we go and talk to the people of Xianli Chamber of Commerce again, and it doesn't matter if we pay a little more." The head of the Qin family suggested that it doesn't matter if we spend a little more money, but we are afraid that Zhang Fulong's preaching will be ruined, which they cannot accept.
Li Xiangsong shook his head and said, "It's useless. I've already looked for him. I don't know what's wrong with Qi Hua. I've raised the price three times, but he just won't give in."
Li Xiangsong has met Qi Hua before. No matter what conditions he offered, Qi Hua just wouldn't sell them anything.
Other family heads frowned when they heard what Li Xiangsong said.
The price has been raised three times, but the other party still won't sell. So, the other party is determined and nothing can be done.
"What should we do?"
"At this moment, we can only explain to the immortal master and see if we can extend the time for us to transport the materials from other places."
This is a bit embarrassing. They had promised Zhang Fulong before that they would get it done within three months, but this happened.
