The word "friend" is not easy for Gu Qing.

He has been a man in two lives, has a rough life, has experienced too much dark side of the world since he was a child, and his heart has become cold and hard as iron, so Gu Qing is too wary of others, it is difficult for ordinary people to make friends with him, it is not for nothing that there are people who push glasses and change lamps and hook up their shoulders, and there are many people who call them brothers and sisters when they are drunk, but they are not called friends, they are called acting, and adults are just a means of making a living in society.

Before the two businessmen were arrested and put in prison, Gu Qing only regarded them as partners in interests, and their dealings with the two were entirely because of interests, and Gu Qing sometimes even thought very unkindly about how he would deal with them if the two businessmen got into big trouble one day. After thinking about it, Gu Qing had to admit ashamedly that he had a high chance of turning around and running, quickly dissociating himself from the two of them, and treating them as if he didn't know them.

Originally, I didn't think they were friends, and it seems understandable to have such thoughts.

Gu Qing is not a saint, let alone the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, the depths of human nature are often selfish, he just exposed it appropriately.

Until the two businessmen were arrested and put in prison, tortured by torture instruments for a whole night, and finally did not confess him, Gu Qing was shocked, he was shocked to find that the two of them regarded themselves as friends, and for the word "friend", they were even willing to abandon the nature of businessmen, not only did not seek fame and fortune, but also did not want their lives.

The world kissed him bitterly, and at the same time generously gave him a little mercy.

In those places full of sunshine, Gu Qing is willing to repay gentleness.

"Since we will be true friends in the future, then ......" Gu Qing paused, met the joyful and puzzled eyes of the two, and said slowly word by word: "...... Gotta add money. ”

The two were stunned: ???

"Haha, joke, joke, you see, real friends are treated very differently, how could I make such funny jokes with you in the past, haha."

The two of them suddenly turned out to be a joke, Shao Langjun smiled so brightly, could it be that this joke is really funny?

So, the two who weren't poked at all laughed a few times.

Gu Qing straightened his face: "Please smile sincerely, otherwise this is not a joke, I really added money." ”

When the two laughed again, they were really much more sincere, and the appearance of compromising for life in order to save costs looked sad.

"Talking about the matter, I used to only treat you as partners in interests, and there are some things that I can't say to you, but now we are friends who share life and death, I have an idea, I will inform you, and you will remember to cooperate in the future."

The two of them perked up: "Shaolangjun, please speak up, we will listen." ”

Gu Qing thought for a while and said: "The porcelain kiln in Shiqiao Village, I will redistribute it, I will take fifty percent, the remaining fifty percent Lao Shi will take thirty percent, and Lao Hao will take two percent, which can be regarded as repaying you for your affectionate and righteous responsibility." ”

The two glanced at each other, their eyes were full of joy, and they were busy thanking each other.

Righteousness is righteousness, and businessmen are still businessmen after all.

"Also, you will open the shops in Chang'an City as soon as possible, don't take too big a step, make a plan, open a few more this year, and open a few more next year, Chang'an City is very large, and the market is also very large, don't be in a hurry, digest it slowly one by one, focus on safety, don't rush to attack the city and grab the land."

The two nodded, they were businessmen, and naturally they understood that rushing often increased the probability of failure.

"Finally, have you ever heard of 'team'?" Gu Qing stared at them and said.

The two of them were stunned and shook their heads in confusion.

Gu Qing organized the language for a while, and said slowly: "'Team' is a form of partnership, but it is more in-depth than partnership, for example, the three of us are a team, then our relationship is no longer a shopkeeper or partner, but colleagues, the biggest difference is that colleagues in the team have more tacit understanding with each other, everyone has their own specific position in the team, a good team does not even need a leader, it can do everything well......

What is the expression of a dog looking at the stars? The dog couldn't read the stars, so he was naturally at a loss, and the two shopkeepers had this kind of expression at the moment.

They couldn't understand Gu Qing's words at all, they looked stupid, cute and serious, like two Erha who had just demolished their homes.

Gu Qing had to patiently continue to explain in depth: "For example, the two shopkeepers were arrested and put in prison this time, so how should the other team members rescue you?" In the absence of a leader, everyone left on the team should do their part. If there is an official, he must do his best to pull the relationship and ask for favors, if there are businessmen in the team, then try every means to spend money to eliminate the disaster, if there is a martial arts master, then he must consider the possibility of robbing the prison by force......"

"In short, everyone in the team does something different, but they all have the same purpose, which is to get you out, and if the team members are doing their jobs and know how to cooperate with each other, then the team can be said to be very successful. Two, give me some other expressions, don't look at me like this. ”

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing came back to their senses, and the two looked at each other quickly.

After being silent for a long time, Hao Donglai asked, "The surname is Shi, do you understand?" ”

Shi Daxing smiled uncomfortably, pretending to be abrupt: "Ah! I see! ”

Hao Donglai said disdainfully: "Phew! You understand the! With a belly of straw bales and a few words, can you understand such a profound truth? ”

Shi Daxing's face couldn't hold back, and he said angrily: "Do you understand? ”

Hao Donglai sneered: "Don't provoke me, I really understand a little." ”

Gu Qing said with interest: "Tell me your understanding." ”

Hao Donglai thought for a while and said: "What Shao Langjun said, in fact, it is the same as our own shop, there are several types of people working in a shop, there are guys who greet guests, there are account rooms that specialize in collecting money and settling accounts, and there are treasurers who are responsible for purchasing and counting goods, all these people add up, which is the condition for the normal operation of a shop, all of which are indispensable, as long as these people perform their duties, it doesn't matter if the shopkeeper is not in the shop......"

After speaking, Hao Donglai looked at Gu Qing cautiously and said, "Shaolangjun, it's not bad for me to say this, right?" ”

Gu Qing smiled: "That's pretty much what it means, the difference is that each member of the team has full autonomy, don't you understand 'autonomy'?" That is, they don't need the leader's orders, they know what to do, they can decide what to do within their responsibility, and after everyone does their own things, things can be perfectly solved together. That's what teams are all about. ”

Hao Donglai was stunned, and he could see that his suddenness was really like a fake: "Ah! I see! ”

Shi Daxing pursed his lips and cast a deep disdainful gaze.

Hao Donglai said with a smile: "Shaolangjun, I really understand, unlike the surname Shi, who is obviously so stupid, but he is so stupid...... But Shao Langjun suddenly mentioned the 'team', I don't know why? ”

Gu Qing smiled, of course he wouldn't mention "team" for no reason, because this was his old business in his previous life, and he also clearly knew how great potential a mature team had, as long as it was properly coordinated, a small team of less than ten people could leverage a medium-sized company, which he had done in his previous life, which was very cool.

"Now that there are fewer people, only the three of us can't form a team, but I must tell you the concept of the team in advance, if you have nothing to do, you might as well think about what I say today, and tell me at any time if you have any experience."

After speaking, Gu Qing told the two to recuperate from their injuries, and then left the house.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing looked at each other with blank expressions.

"Hao Fatzi, what does the so-called 'team' of Shaolang Junti want to do?" Shi Daxing was puzzled.

Most of the fat man's heart is more free and easy, and he smiled when he heard the words: "No matter what you do, will Shao Langjun harm us?" Let's do whatever he says, and leave it to Shaolangjun to take care of such a big thing as a strategic layout, and let's just listen to the instructions...... The surname Shi, the last time I drank in the Qinglou, you hit the Oiran lady, I rushed in before I had time to make a move, and when I was healed, I must go to patronize the Oiran lady you ordered, so that she was willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

…………

Li Linfu's house.

Li Linfu's illness is getting worse and worse, especially after the last time he mistakenly interfered in the gossip newspaper, he was beaten by Li Longji repeatedly, and the authority of the right minister was greatly hit, and now the court forces belonging to the prime minister's faction are faintly turbulent.

Wannian County Order was dismissed and questioned, Gu Qing, who robbed the prison, was promoted instead, Li Xiang's loyal thug Shi Lu Xuan, the palace attendant, was severely reprimanded, and Shi Zhangji, the chief of the left guard who took the initiative to help Lu Gongzi get angry, was demoted......

The successive blows have deeply shaken the court.

The courtiers with a keen sense of smell had already sensed that the wind was not in the right direction, and they all stopped and looked, and they would not easily stand in line, and on the side of the East Palace, because of Li Longji's suppression of Xiang Quan, the East Palace seemed to have gotten some kind of signal, and the court forces of the East Palace faction swept away the decline for many years, and faintly had an active posture.

Li Linfu was lying on the sickbed, his body was getting more and more shriveled, and he was so thin that only skin and bones remained.

For a whole afternoon, Li Linfu looked at the carved beams with his eyes open, his eyes were still cloudy, as if covered with a layer of thick fog, making people unable to see what kind of world was in the thick fog.

For the nineteenth year of the prime minister, he was the longest-reigning prime minister in the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods, whether it was good or evil, he spent half of his life on this official position, and now he is dying, and the Son of Heaven has made a move to suppress him.

The situation is not too serious, Li Linfu has been a prime minister for many years, and he has an extremely accurate grasp of Li Longji's thoughts, and he knows that the Son of Heaven's actions are not aimed at him as a person, but at the Xiangquan he represents.

And this is also a contradiction that cannot be reconciled and unresolved between monarchs and ministers.

"What kind of person is this Gu Qing?" Li Linfu muttered to himself.

Recently, Xiangquan has been hit twice, once by Lu Chengping and once by gossip, and these two times were suppressed, both of which were related to the young man named Gu Qing.

For the first time, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty faced a person named Gu Qing.
