That night, after finishing with Hao Qi, Diao Si took the opportunity to send her home and followed her into the Haowu family's big house.
Hao Qi's sisters were surprised when they saw Hao Qi taking Diao Si back, and many people did not give Diao Si a good attitude. Diao Si was already prepared for this, because he and Hao Zhan once had a quarrel. At that time, Hao Zhan did not allow Hao Qi to date him.
When he entered like this, Hao Zhan happened to be discussing something with his relatives, so Diao Si had to wait outside. However, I don't know if Hao Zhan already knew that he was coming and deliberately asked him to wait. The wait lasted for more than an hour.
Diao Si couldn't wait any longer, but just when Diao Si was about to tell Hao Qi that she would visit again next time, she heard the voices of Hao Zhan and her relatives arguing loudly inside: "What if those soldiers say they want money?" , just transfer them all to the border!”
This really caught Diao Si's attention. Maybe Hao Zhan also wanted to launch a riot against him? So he tried to calm down the wind elves and listened carefully to what Hao Zhan and the others were discussing.
Only by listening clearly did she realize that it had nothing to do with him. What Hao Zhan was discussing with her relatives was about their steel. This is because the mine mining of the Zuorui Group has now become normal. Their mining speed is of course much faster than that of the Haowu family, and transportation is so convenient. Under such competition, the steel industry managed by the Haowu family's old model will naturally fail. Too much fighting.
After hearing this information, Diao Si became more confident that he could convince Hao Zhan. Since he was ready to sacrifice his development progress, there was no possibility of not making Hao Zhan's heart beat.
After some time, Hao Zhan and the others finished their discussion. When the leaders of the same clan came out listlessly one by one, their eyes widened when they saw Diao Si. Some even mentioned the old name of "Scream Master". They couldn't take it anymore.
"Why are you here? Do we have anything else to say?" Hao Zhan's face became even uglier after seeing Diao Si. This is normal, because she was just discussing the threat posed by Diao Si's groups to them, and she had a headache.
Diao Si smiled and responded: "Your Majesty the Duke, I took the liberty of coming here today to ask for something..."
"Are you begging me? Are you kidding!... I don't care what kind of management official you are, this is the place of my Haowu family, we don't welcome you." Hao Zhan only said a few words, and then immediately offered to reject Diao Si's words.
Diao Si immediately said to her in a pleading tone: "No, Lord Duke, it's about iron ore and casting. I want to cooperate with your Haowu family, because I know what you are lacking now is raw materials. I can do this." Sell it to you at half the price on the market..."
After hearing what Diao Si said, Hao Zhan stopped those who were about to drive Diao Si away, and then asked: "Is what you said true? Sell it to me for half the price on the market?"
"Yes, that's very correct, because we have a lot of raw materials now, and our foundry is under construction and can't handle it... If the Duke agrees, our railway can help you transport it unconditionally."
After hearing what Diao Si said, Hao Zhan hesitated, because if she really cooperated with Diao Si, their Haowu family's family business, which was facing bankruptcy, could survive.
A middle-aged woman behind Hao Zhan asked Diao Si in disbelief: "Your railway can help us transport? Is this true? But your railway is not leading to our mine?"
"No, this way you can transport the raw materials to a place close to our railway. This can also save the road through the mountains and forests... And if we cooperate well, we will also help you build a railway in the future."
Diao Si's response made the middle-aged woman excited, but Hao Zhan glared at her. Hao Zhan now had a frown on his face. She looked at Diao Si, then at the middle-aged woman, and then let out a long sigh.
Of course Diao Si knew what she was thinking. In fact, she really wanted to cooperate with him like this, but because of the agreements with the major families, she didn't want to be laughed at by those families because of such cooperation.
This is the focus and key of Diao Si's plan, so he immediately persuaded Hao Zhan and said: "Your Excellency, cooperating with us is actually cooperating with the royal family and contributing to the empire. And in business, we are just It’s a business relationship, are you still worried about something?”
After Diao Si's persuasion, those who had discussed with Hao Zhan before were willing to accept it. They should all be people of high status in the Hao Zhan family, and many of them may have titles.
The titles in this world are not limited to one family, because the families here are very large, and many of them have not lived together for more than a hundred years. Therefore, some family members can get new titles given by the royal family after gaining military exploits.
When everyone wanted to cooperate with Diao Si, Hao Zhan was still thinking like that. This would not work. Diao Si had to seize the opportunity while these important members were here to persuade Hao Zhan to cooperate. Otherwise, some of them might leave the imperial city and go back to their respective places.
"Well, since the Duke is not willing to cooperate with me, I'd better go to other families who are also engaged in casting to seek cooperation." Diao Si said disappointedly, and then turned to leave.
"Duke! Why should we miss such an opportunity? Isn't it just a deal?" Those important members naturally became nervous when they heard what Diao Si said. They were all engaged in mining and foundry, so they naturally knew what Diao Si was doing. How good are the conditions for cooperation
In order to make Hao Zhan more nervous, Diao Si continued walking outside to leave, but before he took a few steps, he heard Hao Zhan's voice: "Wait, I promise you."
Diao Si knew that she was going to agree, so he turned around happily. Against the backdrop of the high spirits of those important members, Hao Zhan had a look of death on his face. Of course, these members have benefited, and they don't have to face people from major families. This just makes things difficult for Hao Zhan.
"Excellent, Your Majesty the Duke, I will ask Zuo Rui, the general manager of our group, to come and discuss the details with you in person. We will definitely cooperate happily." Diao Si said happily. In fact, he had to Convince that stubborn Zuo Rui, because he has raised the conditions again today.
"Yeah, but I want you to make it clear that we only have a cooperative relationship in business. Don't think about doing anything to us through this." Hao Zhan responded unhappily, how did she know that as long as there was this cooperation, It would be difficult for her to break away from Diao Si and the others.
Diao Si responded with a smile: "Why did the Duke say that? In fact, I can be said to be from the Haowu family. Hao Qi and I..."
"No, sir, please be respectful. It is well known that you are a member of the Chizhi Emperor. Our Haowu family does not dare to antagonize the royal family." There is a certain truth in what Hao Zhan said. Although the relationship between men and women in this world is very messy, but The Emperor's man is something no one else dares to touch.
"Well, I believe we can work together happily. Since the Duke doesn't like me so much, I won't make you uncomfortable." Diao Si said wisely and turned around to leave again.
Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Hao Qi back this time, so she grabbed Diao Si and walked over to say something to Hao Zhan. Hao Zhan is the mother of Hao Qi's mother, Hao He. She loves this outstanding child very much, but she happens to like Diao Si. This is also the eternal pain in Hao Zhan's heart.
Diao Si still understood that letting Hao Qi come out was just to let Hao Zhan know a little about their relationship. He was not in a hurry to do anything, and he knew that he would not be accepted by Hao Zhan, so he only needed to keep this vague. The relationship is better.
"Hao Qi, please don't embarrass your mother-in-law. It's not easy for her to be the representative of the entire Haowu family. You should understand her and listen to her, you know?" Diao Si said this, which made Hao Qi and Hao Zhan feel a bit agitated. unbelievable.
"What are you talking about? You asked me to bring you here, didn't you just want them to accept you?" Hao Qi reminded Diao Si again.
Diao Si just smiled after hearing this, and then responded: "No, I don't need to rely on you for this. I believe that one day the Duke will accept me, and I will prove it with actions... Also, your family's dilemma has been solved. Yes, I’m going back first.”
Hao Qi couldn't understand the second half of Diao Si's words, which also made Hao Zhan a little embarrassed, because Diao Si meant that he came specifically to help her Haowu family this time. (To be continued)
