Chapter 281 King Li Moves In
Seeing that his friends could understand him, Shopkeeper Xu felt relieved.
He bowed to the two of them and said, "Thank you!"
Gu Dajiang and the other man hurried forward to pull him up and said, "What are you doing? We are all brothers.
Just keep our goodness in your heart.
You won’t find good brothers like us anywhere else.” Gu Dajiang joked.
These words immediately made the two of them laugh.
"Knowing you is the greatest blessing in my life!" Shopkeeper Xu said gratefully.
The few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Only then did Manager Xu sign the contract in his own name.
The two shopkeepers, Cheng and Xu, became the first residents of [Qianbaihui in Taohua Valley].
"Brother Gu, your mall has so many stores, but do you still want to invite other people to move in?" asked Manager Cheng.
"Yes, and then we will prepare to visit each family." Gu Dajiang responded.
"Then I'll go with you. I can help introduce some old customers." said Manager Cheng.
Gu Dajiang thought that with the presence of Cheng, a local, he could save some trouble. So he bowed and said, "I'll trouble you, Brother Cheng."
"If Brother Gu doesn't mind, I'm willing to accompany you." Shopkeeper Xu said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you two! Let's go together." Gu Dajiang made the decision.
"Then let's set off now. You just told us not to be polite, and yet you are being polite again." Shopkeeper Cheng teased.
"Okay, I said something wrong. Let's go now." Gu Dajiang said with a smile.
Next, under the leadership of Shopkeeper Cheng, Gu Dajiang visited the old shop owners in Zesheng County, and he really dug out a lot of good stuff.
And with Manager Cheng around, we can avoid those merchants with bad character.
Shopkeeper Xu also made use of his strengths and took Gu Dajiang to visit merchants who had shops throughout the county.
With the help of these two people, the entire "investment promotion" process went more smoothly.
After visiting various merchants, Gu Dajiang went to visit King Li.
King Li has been living a very smooth life recently.
The rebel troops that had been threatening him also withdrew, and the counties and towns in the county were reinforced with the support of the court.
The migration policy implemented by the imperial court is also progressing steadily, and Zesheng County will finally be transformed from the new border line back to the former Zhongzhou area.
Moreover, the mysterious Gu family actually opened a shop here.
All these things made King Li feel relieved.
When Gu Dajiang arrived, Prince Li was practicing calligraphy in the study.
He followed in and reported: "Your Highness, the shopkeeper Gu Dajiang wants to see you. Does Your Highness want to see him?"
After hearing this, King Li thought for a moment, then happily ordered his followers, "Please invite Mr. Gu in quickly."
"Yes!" Your Majesty, follow my orders and do it.
After Gu Dajiang came in, he first bowed to the prince. "I pay my respects to the prince!"
King Li hurried forward and personally helped Gu Dajiang up, saying, "Please stand up quickly. There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. I have said that you have the privilege of meeting an official in my Zesheng County without bowing."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It has been a long time since I last came to pay my respects to Your Highness. It is my duty to perform this great ceremony." Gu Dajiang said with a smile.
"Brother Gu, what have you been busy with lately?" King Li asked casually.
“Thanks to your concern, my shopping mall has been completed and I’m currently busy with the finishing touches.
This time, I want to invite the prince to visit. If the prince likes it, you can also set up your own business here, which would be an honor for me. "Gu Dajiang said modestly.
King Li pretended to be surprised and asked happily, "It's ready so soon? I'm very curious about the house on your drawing! When can I go and see it? I can't wait."
"Haha, thank you for not abandoning me, Your Highness. If it's convenient for You, We can go together now." Gu Dajiang said with a smile.
"I happen to have nothing to do, so what am I waiting for? Please lead the way, Brother Gu." King Li said impatiently.
"Okay, please come in, Your Highness!" Gu Dajiang said with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.
When King Li travels, the secret guards and followers must follow to protect him.
The group of people came to Gu's shopping mall in a mighty manner.
Although King Li had been paying attention to what was going on here, it was the first time he actually saw a completed shopping mall.
Standing in front of this tall building, I was shocked.
The layout and materials used are completely different from the current buildings, but there is a sense of familiarity. It also blends perfectly with the surrounding environment.
After being shocked, King Li went to see the height of the overpass, and asked his followers to ride horses through the building, even with their swords raised, without any obstruction.
Prince Li nodded in satisfaction, "As expected of a house designed by the Gu family, it is indeed unique."
"No, no, please come in, Your Highness." Gu Dajiang greeted hurriedly.
When the news that King Li was coming was confirmed, Zhixing had already transmitted it back to the intelligent robots at home.
They had already turned on all the lights in the shopping mall and were waiting in front of the door.
As soon as Prince Li entered the hall, he asked in confusion: "Why is it as bright as day in this hall?" As he spoke, Prince Li looked towards the light and then looked at Gu Dajiang in confusion.
"Your Highness, this is a kind of lamp, which is brighter than candles and torches. It can achieve such an effect because there are many lights on it." Gu Dajiang answered evasively.
Prince Li already had the answer in his mind. Thinking of what his grandson had said about a lamp that could glow in the sun, he thought this must be it.
Prince Li looked at the exhibits in the shop and marveled at them.
Gu Dajiang took King Li on a careful tour of the mall and explained the various areas within the mall.
King Li went to the overpass to experience it and saw that the material of the overpass was solid, and the handrails and other details were perfect.
King Li was relieved to find that there were no safety hazards.
Gu Dajiang asked again: "Your Highness, are you interested in moving into a few shops? If you want to move in, you can choose the shops you like now. I can reserve them for you in advance."
Seeing such a novel shop, King Li was of course tempted and did not act pretentiously.
He immediately ordered someone to call the housekeeper in charge of shop liaison over and signed the contract with Gu Dajiang in person.
Gu Dajiang was already prepared to provide the shop to the prince for free.
But King Li insisted on doing things according to the rules.
Gu Dajiang had no choice but to collect the rent and not charge anything else.
The two parties reached a cooperation agreement. Gu Dajiang saw that King Li was interested in the lamp, so he whispered something to Zhixing.
After a while, Zhixing came back with a box.
Gu Dajiang took it, presented it to Prince Li, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your support and care, Your Highness. This is just a small gift, and I hope Your Highness will accept it."
The gifts given by the Gu family have never disappointed him.
King Li did not refuse and opened the box with great interest. When he saw what was inside, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What is this?"
