“It’s natural.”
Shen Tang is very easy to talk to...
She hoped to establish a business partnership with Xu Jie, but she couldn't do that to create a rift between her and Wu Xian, or between Xu Jie and Wu Xian. It's better to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Shen Tang's understanding made Xu Jie confused.
His original intention was to use this as a bargaining chip.
After all, it is just an "agent". Although the risk has dropped sharply, the profit is far less than that of a monopoly.
It was time to discuss profit distribution, but Shen Tang's overly frank and selfless attitude made it difficult for him.
Shen Tang changed the subject and said with a smile: "However, given the relationship between me and Brother Zhaode, this matter should not be a big problem."
Xu Jie: “…”
Looking at Shen Tang's smile, Xu Jie really wanted to ask an inappropriate question - what Gu Chi said about the "Tangdi love" and what Shen Jun said about the "relationship between me and Brother Zhaode", the relationship between the two families is as good as honey, does Mr. Wu himself know about it
Xu Jie didn't know how to answer and could only smile awkwardly.
In order to avoid hearing more words that made him feel full of complaints, Xu Jie was ready to take the initiative to control the rhythm of the topic and turn the conversation to the discussion of profits, but unexpectedly Shen Tang said: "It doesn't matter."
"No problem?"
Xu Jie was frowning with worry.
How can you do business without talking about this
He doubted Shen Tang's sincerity in promoting cooperation.
Shen Tang smiled casually: "Wangchao has been telling me how good Wenzhu is these past two days, and how famous he is in Tianhai. How can I, a layman, understand business matters? Business matters should naturally be handed over to people who understand them. Wenzhu can make his own decision and then tell me. Compared to this, I would like to know the varieties of seedlings in Wenzhu's hands, how many times a year they can be planted, what kind of soil they need, and how to care for them to increase the yield per mu..."
Xu Jie showed no reaction.
I was already dumbfounded by what I heard.
How could he make his own decision on such a matter
I didn't treat him as an outsider at all!
Xu Jie couldn't help but feel shaken.
Could it be that my previous speculation was all based on my own petty judgment? Was I wrong? In fact, Mr. Shen and his scholars were all sincere and honest people who were sincere and dedicated to the people? They didn't care about interests, but only about people's livelihood
But that doesn't make any sense.
Without waiting for him to sort out his thoughts, Shen Tang asked again: "How many sets of farm tools can Wenzhu provide? The more the better. If there are rich oxen, we will take them even if they are older. Wenzhu has also seen that Fugu is so poor that she doesn't have many oxen. Now it takes a few brave warriors to plow the land, but this is only a stopgap measure and cannot last long..."
Xu Jie was speechless and choked.
Zhao Dayi must be among these “several brave warriors”!
"... I can't make the decision on these issues. Just write them down and go back to discuss with the lord." Because Shen Tang didn't play by the rules at all, Xu Jie couldn't negotiate even if he wanted to. Since they let you make the decision yourself, what else can you negotiate
Shen Tang completely disrupted his rhythm.
This was followed by requests for farm tools, oxen, etc.
There was no chance for Xu Jie to react at all.
I was still a little dazed until Xu Jie left.
Shen Tang looked at the direction where Xu Jie left, curled the corners of his lips, held the cup of boiling hot tea in both hands, blew it to cool it, and took a sip carefully. The hot tea entered his mouth, slid down his throat, and the warmth radiated from the inside out, and his nose was unblocked.
At this time, Gu Chi came out from the back.
He asked, "Why does the lord treat him so well?"
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the wine was "priceless". Once it was shipped back to Tianhai, it would be snapped up by everyone, especially by those scholars and warriors. How much profit would there be? The lord of the family pushed it away with just a few words, and the loss was too great.
Gu Chi thought of it several times just now.
Shen Tang said: "Treat him well? How can you define it as good if you flatter him to death?"
Is it so easy to take advantage of her
The boy's bright and handsome face was full of mockery, the look of a man staring at his defenseless prey.
He sneered, "This is a no-cost business. How much wine is given out is not the problem, the problem is how many farm tools, seedlings, and oxen can be brought back! I have repeatedly told Wu Zhaode that I have a deep love for him, and this matter will definitely reach Wu Zhaode's ears. How much advantage can Xu Wenzhu dare to take? Don't worry, he won't do anything ugly."
Shen Tang said: "This is one of them."
Gu Chi smiled and raised his eyebrows: "My lord, do you have other plans?"
Shen Tang smiled like a cunning fox who stole the bacon from the neighbor's house: "Of course. Wu Zhaode and Xu Wenzhu don't have a very close relationship. Rather than being a master and a servant, they are more like a collaboration. Xu Wenzhu helped with all his financial resources, and Wu Zhaode gave him power and affirmation - but is this relationship really stable?"
Gu Chi figured out Shen Tang’s inner thoughts.
"You want to alienate the two?" Gu Chi was not optimistic. "Even if you succeed, Xu Wenzhu will join another force that is no less powerful than Wu Zhaode, such as our old acquaintance Gu Ziyi. He will definitely not help us."
It's not that he wants to destroy his own prestige.
The truth is that their foundation is too weak now.
Newly sprouted saplings.
How can we provide shelter for Xu
Shen Tang said: "Who knows what will happen in the future? I just want to see how big Xu Wenzhu can make this business and how much money he can make! The more he makes, the more Wu Xian will be wary - unless Xu Wenzhu is willing to give Wu Xian 70% to 80% of the profits. But why would Xu Wenzhu do that? As long as Wu Xian is wary, that's enough."
At the critical moment, Xu Wenzhu may be an important chess piece.
Now...
He is the "good man" who sends her all kinds of necessities.
Pronounced as "da shan ren", written as "da yuan zhong".
"That's the second reason." Shen Tang took a sip slowly and said with a smile, "As for the third reason, it is to attract Xu Wenzhu to invest in us. I believe he has seen the changes in Fu Gu in the past two days. Even if he doesn't think this place is good, he will give a little bit of return. As a businessman, it's not shameful to bet on the long side. If we lose the little money we invest, we lose it. Just think of it as a good relationship."
Gu Chi: “…”
Shen Tang noticed his gaze and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Chi shook his head: "Nothing."
He just wanted to complain.
My master is probably, possibly, or perhaps a lotus root in human form? His whole body is covered with densely packed hearts and eyes.
The conspiracy was played very well. As a scholar, Xu Wenzhu probably didn't react. Of course, he was in the middle of the game, so he probably couldn't react either. After all, Shen Jun was such a rare sincere person, how could he have any bad intentions
Even if he really has bad intentions, he is a scholar of letters and literature around him.
Gu Chi took the blame.
Shen Tang looked at him and asked: "Would I believe this?"
Gu Chi replied with his eyes—Xu Wen’s CPA letter.
Shen Tang: “…”
Let me sympathize with Xu Wenzhu in advance.
When Xu Jie left Fugu, he took away two hundred jars of fine wine and paid a considerable deposit. He said that he would discuss with his lord Wu Xian as soon as possible and try to give a specific reply within the month. Shen Tang personally sent him out of the city.
Zhao Feng held Xu Jie's hand reluctantly.
He asked him to give his reply to his family.
After repaying his gratitude, he went back.
Xu Jie: “…”
He felt like his hands were about to be crushed!
These reckless men!
"Goodbye, Mr. Shen!"
Xu Jie took two hundred jars of wine and New Year greetings to Wu Xian, and the group left in a mighty manner and disappeared at the end.
Shen Tang stretched lazily.
With a wave of her hand, she said, "Let's go back and continue to build the earthen kang. Looking forward to the future, we will strive to achieve the goal of one kang per family this year!"
Gu Chi saw that Shen Tang was in a very good mood.
He also said, "Great! Then no one will freeze to death."
Shen Tang smiled when he heard that.
His eyes were as bright as pearls, as if he really saw the scene.
"Well, let's go!" The man on the motorcycle started to trot briskly, and the bell on his neck jingled.
The country paths are extremely pleasant to the ears.
"My Lord, wait for Chi."
Gu Chi immediately rode his horse to catch up.
Zhao·Suan Outsider·Feng touched his nose: "..."
Tianhai and Ha Yin are neighbors.
The journey from He Yin's seat to Tian Hai's seat was not long, and Xu Jie and his party were quite skilled. If they showed the flag of Wu Xian's seat, how could anyone stop them and rob them along the way? They returned smoothly, and after a short rest, they went to see the lord.
Wu Xian was discussing with everyone.
After hearing the announcement, he was surprised: "Wen Zhu is back so soon?"
When he heard that it was Xu Jie, Qin Li, who was about to leave, stopped and silently moved half a step forward - he wanted to hear the first-hand information of He Yin. What has He Yin become under the rule of Shen Tang and others? People who are evil and assist others should not be underestimated.
Wu Xian still likes Xu Jie very much.
Although Xu Jie rarely gave him advice, he was generous and used money to help him solve many problems.
"My lord, the solution has been obtained."
"Wenzhu, come and sit down!" Wu Xian's face was almost filled with joy. "When did you come back? Wenzhu looks much thinner. He must have suffered a lot on the way, right?"
Xu Jie naturally replied that it was his duty to share his lord's worries, and the trip was very smooth without encountering any trouble.
Wu Xian asked, "How is my brother Shen?"
The corner of Xu Jie's mouth twitched slightly.
I inexplicably feel that the lord's style of painting is similar to that of someone else.
He kept talking about "Tangdi love", "Brother Zhaode", "Brother Wu". Could it be that this relationship was a two-way one between the two of them
He learned this word from Shen Jun.
It fits particularly well here.
Xu Jie had prepared his speech on the way, and he answered without hesitation. He told Wu Xian everything he had seen and heard in Fugu City, and also talked about Zhao Dayi's recent situation, which Wu Xian was most concerned about - of course, he concealed the fact that Zhao Feng cultivated 200 acres of land every day.
If this were to be said, the lord would really shed tears.
It's not exaggeration but a statement of fact, he has a criminal record.
Wu Xian had six brave generals under his command. One of them had a close call with death in his early years to protect Wu Xian. During his recovery, his snobbish brother and sister-in-law withheld his nutritional supplements. When Wu Xian visited him and saw his pitiful appearance, he was so heartbroken that he burst into tears.
To be frank, your brother and sister-in-law are not human beings.
He treated his beloved child so harshly.
_(:з)∠?)_
Anyway, Zhao Feng himself didn't complain, and even praised Shen Jun for letting him plow the land, so he didn't get angry.
Wu Xian listened attentively.
From time to time, he would exclaim, "Brother Shen is so righteous", "Brother Shen is so kind", "He Yin is lucky to have such a brother Shen".
Xu Jie: “…”
One by one, "Brother Shen" slid from his left ear to his right ear.
My mind is full of “Brother Shen, Brother Shen, Brother Shen”.
Xu Jie couldn't help but doubt whether the "Tangdi Love" was real!
Finally, and most importantly -
The wine-making recipe in Shen Tang's hand.
Of course, Xu Jie did not explain everything carelessly, but used some Spring and Autumn style to weaken Shen Tang's threat. His stance had shifted from neutral to one side. Wu Xian and others were immersed in the wonderful effects of the wine.
Only one person remained alert and awake.
"The notes are confusing." Qin Li said with a cold face.
Xu Jie raised his eyes and looked at Qin Li: "Why do you say that, Gong Su?"
Qin Li said: "Given time, Shen Tang will become a disaster!"
The magnitude of He Yin's change was beyond his expectation. Based on the reconstruction measures described by Xu Jie, we can see the whole picture from a single glimpse. No matter who gave the order or who carried it out, they should not be underestimated. This person was also their neighbor!
The development and growth speed is too fast!
Qin Li couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling just thinking about it.
Xu Wenzhu still wants to get something from the tiger
Tiger
Haha, many people don’t care about this.
This is clearly a non-threatening cat.
Although it looks like a tiger, its essence is very different from that of a tiger.
Is He Yin developing fast
That place was already in such a bad state that it couldn't be any worse. If you just send someone there, he would make some obvious changes.
Qin Gongsu thinks too highly of Shen Tang.
As soon as Xu Jie made his position clear, many of his good friends were willing to give him face and help him strike up a conversation. In their hearts, they were very curious about the wine and couldn't wait to order some to taste it.
Qin Li is not from Tianhai after all.
It is inevitable that local circles will form cliques and be xenophobic.
In the past, he had Zhao Feng to help him, but now he was isolated and helpless. Seeing that the situation was already decided, Qin Li couldn't help but lose his temper and spoke in a harsh tone.
"It's a good thing that Wenzhu is well versed in business, but he doesn't know that the real huge profits come from a single company. Since you have a good winemaking recipe, just take it. Don't you feel bad for giving Shen Youli a share for no reason?"
Being challenged by Qin Li, Xu Jie also got angry.
He replied sarcastically: "How can Gongsu say such things? The Lord and Mr. Shen hit it off right away and have a close personal relationship. This is something all the allies of the Alliance Army know. The two are as close as brothers, and Gongsu is still here instigating such robbery and banditry. If the world knew about it, I don't know how they would misunderstand the Lord. Please be careful with your words!"
It would be even better if you could also practice "cautious conduct".
Wu Xian had an awkward expression on his face. He himself didn't even know that he and Shen Tang "hit it off right away and became close friends."
Qin Li was his think tank and Xu Jie was his money bag.
It's not good to favor either one.
Wu Xian was about to leave and gloss over the matter, but Qin Li snorted coldly, looked at Xu Jie with cold eyes, and said: "The head of the Xu family is a scholar, but he acts like a snobbish and short-sighted businessman? Oh, I won't discuss it with you. My lord, Li suddenly feels unwell, so I'll take my leave first..."
Wu Xian: "…"
It's over—
As expected, Xu Jie showed a hint of anger.
Wu Xian could only quickly remedy the situation by separating the two, allowing Qin Li to take "sick leave", and gently told him to take good care of himself.
Seeing Qin Li being driven away, Wu Xian looked helpless, but actually said in a serious tone: "Wen Zhu."
There is no need to say anything extra, Xu Jie understood.
Xu Jie softened his tone: "Please forgive me, my lord. I was too reckless."
Wu Xian held his hand and said sadly, "Wen Zhu is my left arm, Gong Su is my right arm. You two are the closest and most important people to me besides my closest relatives. Your fighting is like hurting your own arms to me. Do you understand, Wen Zhu?"
