    Time flies by, and the most ruthless thing is time. Once it is gone, it will never come back.  The Tang Dynasty spent three years consolidating its domestic economy and becoming a great nation.  A strong country means that the people's lives are prosperous, and once people become comfortable in material life, they will begin to pursue "spiritual life."  The 'sketch' that was once popular in the capital has been promoted by Fang and Du and has become a popular elegant artistic skill.  Of course, some people are eager for "elegant" art, while others will sneer at it, such as businessmen who smell like copper.  For businessmen, the only thing that arouses their interest is to make more money and make money to death.  Making money means the market. If there is a market, there will be competition. If there is competition, there will be business wars.  In recent years, a new cloth shop called Xianghe Cloth Shop has emerged in the capital. It has unlimited potential and has captured the capital's cloth market in a very short period of time. Its status was once on par with the time-honored tea shop and porcelain shop in the capital.  The young boss of Xianghe Cloth Shop is named Zhao Tong. He is only twenty-five years old. He has a face as delicate as a girl, but has an ambition like a tiger.  Zhao Tong, who took over the Xianghe Cloth Shop at the beginning of the year and was promoted from the Young Master to the Great Master, his goal was not just the cloth industry in the capital, but also the porcelain and tea in the entire capital.  He began to use his personal connections to expand the porcelain and tea industries, compete with his bad practices, and criticize his peers. He was hated by his colleagues. But it happened that Zhao Tong was rich and well-connected. He also had a minister of rites in the imperial court.  Uncle, no one can do anything to him.  Soon, all the second and third tier merchants in the capital were wiped out by him, and even time-honored brands like Feng Zhenyuan were inevitably affected.  Feng Zhenyuan was as famous as Li Xiehe back then, so how could he be an ordinary person?  He fought several battles with Zhao Tong, but lost more and won less. In the end, he was squeezed out of the capital by Zhao Tong.  Before Feng Zhenyuan left, he invited Zhao Tong out for tea and gave Zhao Tong a parting message: "It is good for young people to be ambitious, but this ambition should be based on the overall situation, not just for yourself!  If you destroy the healthy market that the capital has finally built over the years, aren't you worried that it will lead to disaster? " Zhao Tong was young and energetic, and he was arrogant and talented, so he didn't listen to Feng Zhenyuan's words at all.  In his opinion, he has become a business leader in the capital, and he has an uncle who is the minister of etiquette. As long as the current emperor does not come forward, who can do anything to him?  As a result, just when Zhao Tong was feeling proud, a seemingly inconspicuous small shop opened in the capital. The name of this small shop was ¡®Hongyuan Trading Company¡¯.  The store is small, not much bigger than a grocery store, but it is involved in a wide range of businesses, including cloth, tea, and porcelain.  At first, this small shop could not attract Zhao Tong's attention at all, but as time went by, in just one month, Zhao Tong gritted his teeth in anger when he heard the name.  It¡¯s just such a small store, not much bigger than a grocery store. In this month, it swept through the three major industries in the capital.  Every day, the store supplies high-quality and low-priced clothes, porcelain, and tea to all merchants in the capital. The prices are a full ten percentage points lower than those of Xianghe Trading Company.  Merchants in the capital are not stupid. They will naturally buy from anyone whose products are good and cheap.  Ever since, during this month, Xianghe Trading Company did not open an account!  In fact, not only Zhao Tong is wondering, but most people in the capital are wondering, why is the throughput of this small store so huge?  Even if it supplies all the retailers in the entire capital, it can be done with ease, but even Xianghe cannot do this!  Of course, there were some old people in the capital among them. When they saw the inconspicuous "Hongyuan Trading Company" sign on the door of the small shop, these old people all laughed without saying a word and said to themselves: "Zhao Tong took care of those who shouldn't be messed with."  After being provoked, his road is finally over!" Having just taken the position of leader, Zhao Tong naturally refused to let go easily. Since the other party's price was low, he would just lower his price.  If the other party is ten percentage points lower than me, then I will also be ten points lower than the other party. Let¡¯s see who can outsmart the other!  As a result, as soon as Zhao Tong lowered the price, the small store immediately followed suit, and it was always ten percentage points lower than Zhao Tong's price.  In the end, the selling price was even only half of the cost.  Finally, Zhao Tong couldn't stand it anymore and sent someone to find his uncle, who was the Minister of Etiquette, and complained bitterly to the small shop for disrupting market order and malicious competition!  Hearing this, even Zhao Tong and his uncle blushed, thinking, didn't you kid destroy it first?  It¡¯s really the evil ones who complain first.  Although I don¡¯t like this domineering nephew in my heart, after all, we are a family. When family members are in trouble, they will naturally come to help.  The Minister of Rites immediately asked the name of the small shop and sent someone to give them a look and tell them to behave themselves and not to go against his nephew.  When the Minister of Rites heard the words 'Hongyuan Trading Company', the tea he just drank sprayed in Zhao Tong's face. His original expression of 'I have everything' instantly turned into shock and fear.  Immediately, he threw the teacup in his hand on the table and yelled, "You've got yourself into big trouble, you bastard!"I can't control the matter. Don't involve me in it!  "After saying that, the Minister of Rites sent someone to drive his nephew out. Zhao Tong, who was standing at the door of the mansion, was stunned for a moment, then spat at the stone lion at the door and said bitterly: "I don't want to help.  That¡¯s it, as for kicking me out?  I won¡¯t have an uncle like you in the future!  If you don¡¯t help, I¡¯ll go find my big brother!  snort!  " It turns out that in addition to an uncle who is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Tong also has an elder brother who is the chief of the military affairs department. He is really in charge of the military and has real power. No wonder Zhao Tong can have such connections.  Walking sideways in the capital, Zhao Tong finally found his elder brother and told him what had happened. His brother's behavior was even worse than that of his uncle, and he slapped Zhao Tong on the face and roared with incomprehensible anger.  Said: "You bastard!  I brought back the people I shouldn't have messed with!  Do you know whose business Hongyuan Trading Company belongs to?  "    "who?  "Zhao Tong covered his face, his eyes were shining, and he asked in aggrieved manner. Brother Zhao Tong waved his hand and shouted: "How long has it been since Hongyuan Trading Company left the capital?  You just forgot about Hongyuan Trading Company!  The owner of Hongyuan Trading Company is the Ever-Victorious King of Tian'an, the Holy Blessed King of Heaven, who is nine thousand years old!  One person is inferior to ten thousand people. Apart from the Holy One, he is the greatest in the world!  He didn't kill you directly, but instead started a business war with you. He was already worthy of you, but you dared to file a complaint!  "
