Facing Mrs. Josephine's expectant gaze, Peng Jin said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info How could an adult let me be involved in such an important matter. ”

She knew that Liu Zhi was very much in favor of the establishment of a sea caravoy, and he not only agreed, but also wanted to invest in the name of the government for supervision.

But business negotiation is like this, even if you want to, you can't show your hole cards to the other party, so as not to fall into passivity.

It's like haggling for something, once the seller knows that you love it very much, then he will bite the price very hard, and it will be difficult to cut the price.

What's more, this matter also involves political purposes, and Peng Jin must of course be more cautious, even if she has a good personal relationship with Mrs. Josephine.

When it comes to the country's military and political affairs, even Liu Shi has to abandon his personal feelings and be cautious.

Obviously, after settling in Quanzhou for so many years, Mrs. Josephine has deeply understood the division of labor and cooperation of Daqi's "male protagonist and female protagonist", so when she heard Peng Jin say this, she only shrugged her shoulders in disappointment and did not have the slightest resentment.

At lunch, Mrs. Josephine was also uneasy and anxious.

Fortunately, after the meal, Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che's three children gathered around Mrs. Josephine and asked why the three Kate sisters and brothers did not come, and also asked them about their current situation.

Mrs. Josephine was asked by the three children so much, and forgot for the time being the tense negotiations in the front yard, and her expression relaxed a little.

However, when the three children went to nap, Mrs. Josephine fell into a state of anxiety again.

Peng Jin persuaded her to rest for a while, she thanked Peng Jin for her kindness, and asked to sit alone in the courtyard for a while to adjust her mood.

Peng Jin had no choice but to follow her.

However, the next morning negotiation seems to have no end in sight, just like in the morning.

Lady Josephine watched as the heat of the blazing sun gradually decreased, the sun set in the west, and the day was about to pass, and night was about to fall, and before there was any movement of the end ahead, her face became more and more pale, and her hands were clenched into fists, and she kept pacing in place.

Seeing this, Peng Jin couldn't help but speak out and comforted: "Don't worry. We have a saying that 'business is not benevolent and righteous', even if this business cannot be negotiated today, there are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future! ”

To be honest, there has been no news from the previous negotiations, and Peng Jin has also begun to doubt.

Although Liu Shi has the determination and sincerity to cooperate, Mr. Josephine also has his own bottom line. If Liu Shi's series of demands were unacceptable to Mr. Josephine, the matter would naturally have to be abandoned.

If that's the case, it's a bit of a pity.

Mrs. Josephine was not comforted by Peng Jin, and complained: "Madam, you don't know, it has always been my husband's dream to build a powerful sea caravan and dominate the sea. In order to make a living, he has spent so many years in Quanzhou, and now he finally has the opportunity, I hope he can regain his dream when he was young and live the life he wants! ”

"Live the life you want" is easy to say, but hard to do.

In her previous life, she just prayed for a child, a complete and beautiful family, and did not hesitate to sacrifice everything for this, but in the end she could not get it until she died.

But the past is gone, and now that she has reaped the happiness she wants, let those past events go away with the wind!

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." Peng Jin comforted, "Madam, don't worry, wait patiently for the news of the negotiation ahead." ”

Mrs. Josephine nodded, and said helplessly with a sad face: "That's all it can be." ”

With the last bit of luck in his arms, he is looking forward to the best ending.

Until the twilight, the weather gradually darkened, the stars in the southwest sky were already shining, and the negotiation between the officials in the front yard finally ended.

Liu Shi, Zhang Minghua and Mr. Josephine came to the backyard together, talking and laughing all the way, looking very happy.

Peng Jin was relieved when he saw this.

Mrs. Josephine, fearing that her husband's dream would not come true, hurried up to meet her, and did not shy away from the presence of outsiders, so she grabbed Mr. Josephine's hand and asked urgently, "How are the talks?" ”

"It was a success." Mr. Josephine said frankly, for fear that if he answered more tactfully, he would make his wife anxious again.

Lady Josephine's heart was slammed down, and the sudden happiness that followed her anxiety made her tears of excitement fall.

Mr. Josephine wrapped his arms around his wife and gently patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, considerate and gentle, and gentlemanly and generous.

Peng Jin also greeted him, smiled and said: "It's not early, I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare a meal, let's wait until we finish eating and then go home!" ”

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness." Mr. Josephine politely refused, "It's just that I have to go back to tidy up the fleet of ships, and I have failed Madame's good intentions." ”

Peng Jin looked at Liu Shi and saw him nodding with a smile, so he smiled and admitted: "That's it, forget it." Anyway, there are many opportunities in the future! ”

The group sent Josephine and his wife away first.

After Josephine and his wife left, Zhang Minghua also resigned.

"There are a lot of follow-up matters to prepare for this cooperation. It's not early today, and I'll list the details tomorrow and show them to adults. Zhang Minghua smiled with a smile on his face, with the excitement of about to do something earth-shattering.

If this huge sea caravan can be built, Daqi's control over the sea will inevitably be greatly enhanced in the future, and the strength of the sea and land will be greatly increased, and the great power will be just around the corner.

Liu Shi arched his hand and smiled: "Then there is Brother Lao Ziliang." ”

After sending Zhang Minghua away, the husband and wife went back to the yard talking and laughing all the way.

Peng Jin was surprised to hear Liu Shi say that all the other suggestions he put forward were accepted by Mr. Josephine, except that the shares held by the government were pressed to the lowest according to Mr. Josephine's wishes.

Although the negotiation process was a bit difficult, the outcome always went as expected.

"No wonder others always say, 'The sword of a military general, the mouth of a literati', you are obviously not a businessman, but you can cut the price so low under the hands of Mr. Josephine, an 'old merchant', and take so many benefits!" Peng Jin covered her lips and smiled.

"It's just 'Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer'." Liu Shi smiled and said indifferently, "There are always trade-offs in the world, the key is to see which consequences you are more able to bear, and which goal you are most willing to pursue." ”

"When did you become a philosopher? The words are so deep and connotative! Peng Jin quipped, pushed Liu Shi as he spoke, and urged, "Go and wash your hands!" Dinner is ready and will be served in a moment. ”

After talking all day, Liu Shi should have been tired a long time ago!
