Chapter 125: Collusion
"A little more for double the price?" Liu Sanyuan was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that the commercial banks used double the price for the goods this year, Liu Sanyuan didn't think much about it, he originally planned to win it at a slightly higher price than last year, but it turned out to be unexpectedly more than twice the price!
At this time, Liu Sanyuan was a little hesitant, so he thought about it and asked tentatively towards the old man: "Old man, I don't know if there is any negotiation about this price?" ”
The old man smiled, then waved his hand and refused: "Young Master Liu, in business, the quality of this year's wild ginseng is indeed good. Even if you buy it for a little more than double the price, you can make money by taking it out and selling it! What's more, the medicinal effect of Pingyue Valley wild ginseng, that is needless to say! ”
Seeing that there was no room for easing the price, Liu Sanyuan thought about it and said, "Old man, this is indeed beyond my estimate, do you think you can let me go back and think about it?" ”
The old man didn't force it, but sent Liu Sanyuan to the house with a smile.
After returning to the inn, Liu Sanyuan's face was quite unsightly. Thinking that he actually had to take out such a large sum of money to buy wild ginseng, Liu Sanyuan felt painful.
Fang Qingyu watched Liu Sanyuan come back and said nothing, knowing that something had gone wrong with the purchase of wild ginseng.
"Husband, didn't you buy wild ginseng? Aren't the people of Pingyue Valley selling? Fang Qingyu knew the purpose of Liu Sanyuan's visit to Pingyue Valley this time. Originally, she thought it was just a trivial matter, and she was looking forward to leaving here as soon as possible after buying wild ginseng.
Who knows, halfway through, another Cheng Biting Jin broke her calculations, and it seemed that a group of people were going to stay here.
Liu Sanyuan glanced at Fang Qingyu and said, "The price given by Pingyue Valley is too high!" I was a little hesitant! I don't know if I can think of a way to lower this price! ”
"Husband, I think you still have to ask around, I don't believe that there are no smart people in this Pingyue Valley. Let's spend a little money. If you go through the door, maybe you won't be able to spend that much! Fang Qingyu said what he saw his father in the officialdom on weekdays.
When Liu Sanyuan heard this, he thought that there was only one way. So next, Liu Sanyuan sent someone to inquire about the division of forces in Pingyue Valley.
Liu Sanyuan's men also moved very quickly, and at the end of the night, they had already explored the division of forces in Pingyue Valley.
Today's Pingyue Valley is divided into three spheres of influence. The first is naturally the force headed by the patriarch, and most of the neutrals stand behind the patriarch.
The other force is headed by Yu Qingwen, who is involved in the Du family. is the son-in-law of the second brother of the old man. This man is cautious. is good at planning, so many people are more optimistic about him. However, this man has always behaved very modestly, and he is rarely seen in a flamboyant manner.
The last force is led by Du Zhongxiong. This Du Zhongxiong is stubborn and self-serving, and he can't tolerate others saying nothing to him, and even his son is often scolded if he doesn't follow his arrangement. But this man is scheming. Often do things that people don't expect, so don't underestimate them.
After Liu Sanyuan found out. In the end, the target was Du Zhongxiong. Needless to say, the old man's side naturally said that if it wasn't a last resort, Liu Sanyuan would not be willing to buy it at more than twice the price.
Yu Qingwen always made Liu Sanyuan feel a little impenetrable, and low-key people were always filled with a thick fog. Liu Sanyuan had no intention of finding out a person at this time. The only choice left is Du Zhongxiong.
Du Zhongxing has shortcomings, but it is the most accessible. And such a person who exposes his ambition is either too confident. Either that's the end of the bird. But this Du Zhongxiong can still safely occupy one of the three major forces to this day, and he must also have his advantages.
So Liu Sanyuan finally set his sights on Du Zhongxiong.
And Du Zhongxiong was also secretly investigating Liu Sanyuan at this time. Start with Liu Sanyuan entering the valley. Not only the old man, Yu Qingwen and Du Zhongxiong have all received the news.
Yu Qingwen just smiled when he saw it, and just asked people to probe Liu Sanyuan's background. And Du Zhongxiong is not only exploring Liu Sanyuan's background, but even more desperately hopes that Liu Sanyuan is a person with a big background. Because only in this way can he be of great use to become a patriarch in the future.
Some time ago, as soon as the old man made a move, he abolished the firm that Du Zhongxiong had operated for many years, so Du Zhongxiong had to find other partners during this time. At this time, Liu Sanyuan was automatically sent to the door.
The next day, Yu Qingwen and Du Zhongxiong both received background messages from Liu Sanyuan.
Liu Sanyuan, the nephew of Liu Zhongcheng, the head of the household book, and the eldest son of the third room of the Liu family. The Liu family is a member of the third room, the big house is a civil servant in the court, but the second room is a military general, although it is not as prominent as the official position of the big house, but it also has some fame. Only the third room is high or low, and I have always relied on the care of the big house and the second room to live. But in Liu Sanyuan's generation, Liu Sanyuan has shown a talent for business since he was a child. I started with a fur business, and I have made a lot of money in the past few years.
After seeing such information, Du Zhongxiong fell into deep thought. If the person who came was from the Liu family's big house or the second room, Du Zhongxiong would definitely not choose to cooperate with them. But if the person who comes is Liu Sanyuan of the third room, then the possibility of this cooperation is very great.
Liu Sanyuan himself does not have a lot of power, and such a person will choose to cooperate with others. If you change to a person with a big house and a second room, I am afraid that you will use power or force to achieve your goals as soon as you come, and you will not choose to cooperate with others at all.
What's more, catching up with Liu Sanyuan also indirectly caught up with the Hubu Shangshu and some forces in the army, which is a cost-effective deal for Du Zhongxiong. Therefore, after weighing for a long time, Du Zhongxiong finally made up his mind, and then took the initiative to send someone to invite Liu Sanyuan.
Of course, the person who was also sent to invite Liu Sanyuan was naturally Du Zhao, Du Zhongxiong's son. Du Zhao went to be very sincere: he did not lower his status, nor did he make the other party feel that he was despised.
Liu Sanyuan was still hesitating about how to meet Du Zhongxiong, but when he fell asleep, he met someone who sent him a pillow. After seeing Du Zhao explain his intentions, Liu Sanyuan was quite enthusiastic.
"Brother Du, I don't know how to visit Ling Zun all of a sudden, I didn't expect you to come over, Brother Du! Come, come, this time I happened to get some of the best tea, I don't know if the Du Du brothers have Yaxing tasted it? Liu Sanyuan said with a smile.
It was rare for Du Zhao to see someone so enthusiastic about him, so he sat down respectfully and obediently. At this time, Fang Qingyu happened to bring tea and slowly came to Liu Sanyuan and Du Zhao's side.
A gust of fragrant wind wafted in, and when Du Zhao looked up, he found that a stunning woman actually appeared in front of him. With just one glance, Du Zhao's heart had already sunk.
"It's still so beautiful!" Du Zhao couldn't help but speak out.
After Fang Qingyu put down the teacup, he heard Du Zhao say such a sentence stupidly, and suddenly covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Husband, look at this person, he actually looks stupid at everyone!" ”
Liu Sanyuan glanced at Fang Qingyu, and then said reproachfully: "Qingyu, don't be rude!" ”
Turning around, Liu Sanyuan was embarrassed to say no to Du Zhao.
"Brother Du, I'm really sorry, Qingyu is a little rude!"
Du Zhao had already sobered up when Fang Qingyu laughed, and later after hearing Fang Qingyu's words, he blushed from his face to the base of his neck.
At this time, seeing that Liu Sanyuan actually apologized to himself, Du Zhao said a little embarrassed: "What did Brother Liu say, and I was abrupt sister-in-law!" Du Zhao is really rude! ”
Liu Sanyuan gently patted Du Zhao's shoulder without mind, and then said nonchalantly: "Where is Brother Du, you know at a glance that he is an honest and honest person, but he was stunned by Qingyu's beauty!" What's the faux pas? Don't you know, there are beautiful people around, and everywhere I go, I can see a group of stunned people, so now it's no surprise! ”
Du Zhao saw that Liu Sanyuan was really not angry, and he had a good impression of Liu Sanyuan in his heart.
"Brother Liu is really a good belly! It's also a blessing! Come, Du Zhao will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, borrow a cup of tea from Brother Liu, and wish Brother Liu all his wishes come true and be happy! ”
"Haha, good! Brother Du is really straightforward, I Liu Sanyuan will take this cup of tea! Come, let's drink this cup of tea, and we will be good brothers in the future! After Liu Sanyuan finished laughing, he raised the teacup and drank the tea inside.
When Du Zhao saw it, he also happily poured a cup of tea into his stomach. Next, Liu Sanyuan asked people to prepare a table of good wine and food, and then sat down with Du Zhao and talked happily.
During this meal, under Liu Sanyuan's prideful offensive, Du Zhao unknowingly revealed his father Du Zhongxiong's preferences without knowing it.
After Liu Sanyuan knew what he wanted to know, he sent Du Zhao, who was full of wine and food, back.
And Du Zhongxiong, who was still waiting for Du Zhao to go back to his life, saw that his son Du Zhao actually came back drunk, and immediately kicked over.
Du Zhao, who was even a little vague, spit out a mouthful of blood all of a sudden, and the person suddenly sobered up.
"Dad, what are you kicking me for!" Du Zhao asked puzzled.
"What am I kicking you for? You're brainless, aren't you almost right what you should have said after this meal? Du Zhongxiong looked at his unsuccessful son with hatred and roared. (To be continued)
