When the Sheng Yuan ticket had entered the Moon Continent, it could be said to be extremely grand. Until Xie Jingxi saw it with her own eyes, she had a clear understanding of the reason behind the rise and fall of the ticket numbers these few years.

Needless to say, the ordinary citizens of the aristocratic families had all tasted the sweetness in the past two years, especially the rich and wealthy Guangdong, who had an even greater demand for tickets. Adding to that the fame of Sheng Yuan, many people had already gathered outside the city to watch before the market even opened.

The reason why Gu Yun didn't come was because he wanted to give her, the manager, a chance to show off. When Gu Yun came, everyone looked down on her and they would only think that she was a woman who relied on his own man. Xie Jingxi laughed at his overthinking, she never wanted to be the big boss anyway, the ticket line was not like others, the big boss was not that easy to pass off as.

The Manager Lu was familiar with him, but only he had not met him before, it was not too far from his imagination. He was a skinny middle-aged man, a typical businessman with a face, looking at others with eyes that released a sense of scrutiny, after the introduction of the Manager Lu, he said to Xie Jingxi: "I have heard of you before, I have seen you recently, nice to meet you."

Xie Jingxi laughed politely, "Manager Qi doesn't need to be so courteous, even if you don't want to, we are already old acquaintances, right?

Seeing that she had only brought a little girl with her, Keeper Qi regarded her as a lady of the same class as well as a haughty and aloof official wife. He didn't expect her to speak so casually and not have the slightest intention to put on airs, but after hearing what Manager Lu had said earlier, he had said that she had a good eye and thought that she was very powerful subconsciously. Of course, many of the noble women thought that she was arrogant on the surface, but in his eyes, she was ignorant.

It was easy to tell with a glance that she was not only calm in her speech, but was also well-tempered in her speech. Frankly speaking, she had to go through a lot, and had to experience and be wise to erase the pretense between the two of them that they were not familiar with each other with just a few sentences.

On the contrary, it was the Manager Qi who had looked down on him first, and appeared to be petty. After all, from the inside to the outside, all of Sheng Yuan recognized this kind of shopkeeper, and most of the items laid inside were his painstaking efforts. If it was anyone else, they would not be willing to see a person who only took money and didn't do anything to suppress them, and they might even come over to criticize him.

The Manager Lu said: "Look at what you're saying, no matter how busy you are, it's not enough for you to delay things any further. You can come over to take a look, that's what we wish for, this is Miss Zhiyu, we did not expect her to be so old already."

When Gu Xiaoyu heard her name, she raised her head to look at him, "That's right, Ah Yu is already a big girl, have you seen me before?"

He actually started to chat with Manager Lu. Manager Lu, as a slightly stiff and honest man, was tickled by her small appearance, "I've never seen Miss Zhiyu before, but I've heard of her, so it can be considered as having heard of her for a long time."

Gu Xiaoyu blinked his eyes, "Then you must be my mother's friend, can I ask what you guys are doing? Why are there so many people waiting outside the door?

The two shopkeepers were amused by him and Manager Qi said: "We are not having a snack bar, we only have tickets. Simply put, they are storing silver here, and we will help them keep it, and then we will earn interest from us."

This description from the Manager Qi was a typical method to lure ordinary citizens, the ticket number was obviously not that simple, but for the majority of the people, it was the most basic and intuitive benefit, causing Gu Xiaoyu to understand, her eyes lighting up, "This place is truly a good place, then can Ah Yu leave the snacks here, will she be able to earn a piece of candy?"

Manager Qi did not expect the little kid to earn money so quickly, and use it to his heart's content, "Little snacks are no good, we only want silver."

"I have silver too!" Gu Xiaoyu fished around her waist and took out a piece of crushed silver from her small pouch before handing it over to Manager Qi. "Then, I'll leave the silver here.

"Not only can you earn snacks, you can also buy anything with money."

The Manager Qi laughed out loud as he handed over the silver, "I never thought that our first transaction in Guangzhou would be so successful. Miss Zhiyu, your silver is with us, if you don't have any silver, you can come here to buy it from now on. Do you remember that?"

Xie Jingxi laughed and said, "Don't get used to her, I can't eat properly for you later."

"That's not necessary, Miss Zhiyu has opened a market for us, it deserves your help." The Manager Qi became serious, "Since you are here, I have something to discuss with you."

Xie Jingxi glanced at the Manager Lu, "I have long told the Manager Lu that you two can discuss the matters within the ticket numbers. I have never done it before, I am a proper outsider."

On the contrary, she hadn't heard the Manager Lu mention anything important. Whether it was because he didn't know or because it was hard to tell, she didn't know. Gu Yun's guess was right, the two Ganoderma didn't come from nothing.

Manager Lu and Manager Qi looked at each other, and then explained to each other, "You have seen it, now that the ticket industry is flourishing, and the competition is getting bigger, we heard that Guangdong Province is flourishing, and now that we have seen the truth, we thought about it, there are too many opportunities here, and doing business with the foreigners is like a normal thing, so we thought that if our Sheng Yuan were to go overseas, we might as well seize this opportunity."

Go overseas? Xie Jingxi thought to herself, a businessman's heart is really big, not only does it matter if there is money or not, it also involves the trade between the two countries, and there is even war, conflict, and a ban on the seas that one might face at any time.

Seeing that Xie Jingxi did not say anything, the Manager Qi continued: "Actually, it can't be considered as a good opportunity. According to what I know, Mao Chang's ticket number already had this thought in mind, if they were to rush to the front, how big of a loss do you think it would be for the Shang Clan in Guangdong?"

Using the loss of benefits to touch her, and then using the relationship behind her to seize the initiative, this was probably what the Manager Qi was thinking. The reason why the Manager Lu did not greet her, however, was probably because she was still hesitating in her heart, or perhaps she was disagreeing with the Manager Qi.

Xie Jingxi still did not answer directly, "All these years, I relied on you two, especially you, Manager Qi, who is the head storekeeper.

The Manager Lu was startled. He remembered that when she had bought the shares back then, Xie Jingxi had owned fifty percent of the shares and less than twenty percent of it was given to him by Xie Jingxi, but the Manager Qi had only owned twenty percent. All these years, the Manager Qi had continuously increased his shares and now, she should have only owned thirty percent of the shares.

Of course, this was without adding Manager Lu's own twenty percent. Manager Lu had always wanted to return the principal to her, but Xie Jingxi didn't take it. Manager Lu was well aware of what the ticket number was for now. Now that Xie Jingxi had taken a step back, it was time for Manager Qi to feel embarrassed. After all, the current situation was that the ticket number required her help.

Manager Lu smiled as he said, "I naturally have no objections. If not for Manager Qi, my ticket reputation would not have developed to such a scale. It is only natural."

Xie Jingxi laughed, "Then it's decided, also speaking of Mao Chang, if I remember correctly, his family's real silver is at least three times our own, this is for sure, when the tickets are opened to the foreigners, the costs and risks will increase, and at times, it's not necessarily beneficial to be the pioneer, it's relatively easier to follow the path of others, of course, I am just a woman, so I will have to trouble you two to decide on some matters."

Manager Qi was a little worried, the situation was too far from what he had expected.

Xie Jingxi did not wait for them to continue speaking, she got up and took her leave, then called Gu Xiaoyu who was having fun playing Abacus over, "I'll be back a while later, if there's anything, just send someone to look for me."

The more he thought about it, the more his scalp tingled. Right now, he felt that business and politics were completely different, and he, who was used to seeing all kinds of situations, thought that business was already very well-trained, so he thought that it wouldn't be hard to make a move on a housewife, even if you were an unusual woman. However, Xie Jingmei's few words gave him a completely different understanding of the matter of opening a ticket overseas.

Manager Lu was afraid that he might misunderstand and was unhappy, he explained to him, "Old Qi, our lady is not like an ordinary foolish woman, please do not think so narrowly of her, it was just us thinking in private and we did not even discuss it with others, she actually would not make things difficult for us because of this matter, probably at the maritime department, it is really not as simple as we think, I think, her meaning is basically explained the meaning of Master Gu and General Sheng."

The Manager Qi frowned, "No, I was simply thinking about it. You were right to worry about me at that time, but in truth, risks and benefits exist at the same time, I had always thought that even if there was a war, the impact would be limited, but the meaning of the words of the Mrs. Gu was not that simple.

What could it involve? It was just a matter of politics, profit, or opportunity. Had Maochang obtained some sort of opportunity that they didn't know of?
