Chapter 21 The drunkard does not mean to drink
(Ask for collection, ask for recommendationγγγγγγ οΌ
Kou Shouxin didn't say much to Guo Dan, because he thought that the more Guo Dan knew, the easier it was to do bad things. Compared with the last time, Guo Dan didn't have the heart to ask again this time, because he thought that even if he couldn't get this deal, it would not cause very serious consequences to the Kou family, at least this job would not be lost.
Of course, he will not be passive because of this, he will do what he should do, he will definitely do well, the next morning, he got up from bed, after breakfast, ready to go out.
As soon as I came to the front yard, I happened to see Kou Zhuansha sitting alone on the guardrail of the corridor, looking at the flowers that had just bloomed in the courtyard, and she was stunned.
Guo Dan suddenly stopped his steps, stood around the corner, stared at Kou Zhuansha, and thought to himself, maybe Guo Dan didn't know anything about her before.
"Miss"
A voice interrupted Guo Dan's thoughts, he looked sideways, and saw Kou Yi walking over, and suddenly took a small step back.
Kou Liansha also came back to her senses and asked, "Where is my uncle?" β
Kou Yi said: "I haven't seen my uncle come out yet." β
Kou Liansha nodded slightly.
Kou Yi asked a little unwillingly, "Miss, do you really think that it is impossible for us to win this deal?" β
"It's almost impossible."
Kou Lian shook his head lightly and sighed lightly: "Such a big deal, let you talk about it, but in the end, it depends on our own strength, and our strength is still far from the Liu family." However, we can't admit defeat on the surface, we still have to put some pressure on the Liu family, I guess the Liu family will definitely use their branches, their experience to talk about things, and we have to play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses, emphasizing the importance of scarcity as expensive, in order to reduce the production of new wine, and then give high prices, in order to get the richest customers in the world, so that we can cover up our shortcomings. β
Guo Dan, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't help but nod slightly, this woman is indeed smart, but unfortunately it is still a little short, if she understands the principle of lever to pry the earth, she knows that this strength is not the only one.
Kou Yi said: "But I think the eldest lady's plan is feasible. β
Kou Zhuansha sighed lightly: "If it's just that kind of new wine, then we can indeed go for it, but now Xing'anbo wants to take out the entire winery, so it can't be scarce." β
Kou Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Kou Zhuansha suddenly remembered something, and said, "What I asked you to investigate, how is the investigation?" β
Kou Yi shook his head and said, "I've been tracking down Chen Fangyuan for many days, but I still haven't found out who that mysterious person is. β
Guo Dan frowned, it turns out that she has been tracking me, it seems that I will have to be careful in the future.
"That person is so powerful, I guess it won't be easy for people to track down." Kou Liansha sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, this matter is over, you go and prepare first, I think my uncle will come out later." β
"Yes."
After Kou Yi left, Kou Liansha looked at the flowers on the branches and muttered, "Could it be him?" β
He? Who is he? Guo Dan frowned slightly, suddenly his eyes went up, and then turned around and left.
"Uncle, why are you back again?"
Xi'er, who was cleaning in the courtyard, couldn't help but be curious when she saw Guo Dan coming back.
Guo Dan pointed to the bun and asked, "Xi'er, did you use a green headscarf for me today?" β
Xi'er looked up, nodded and said, "Yes, this is your favorite, uncle." β
"Changed."
Guo Dan said decisively: "I will burn it later, and no green will appear in my wardrobe in the future." β
After changing into a brown turban, Guo Dan came to the front yard again, Kou Yi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Guo Dan coming, the two of them immediately went out and went to Xing'anbo's mansion.
"Wow! It's worthy of the Earl's Court, but it's really magnificent! β
Coming to Xing'anbo's mansion, Guo Dan looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him, only to feel that the Kou family came from the small courtyard of the farmhouse, which was completely incomparable.
Kou Yi whispered: "Xing'anbo's manor in the southern suburbs is much more magnificent than this. β
"Really?"
"Of course it is."
In fact, Ming Taizu and Chengzu originally gave these earls the food, which is also decent, and it is not outrageous, but the problem is that these counts are hereditary, this generation after generation, they have innate advantages, they do not need to be very smart, in this era of agricultural economy dominance, as long as they will annex the land, in addition, they are scattered, it is very easy for this descendant to enter the dynasty as officials, and there is land division, this point is divided again, there are more and more people, and the scale of the family business is naturally getting bigger and bigger.
Who can own a big winery, it is those super big landlords, because they have too much grain to eat, then selling wine must be more profitable than simply selling grain, and the Ming Dynasty has restrictions on any bulk commodities, but there are no restrictions on this wine.
At this time, a carriage came from the west, and it was Liu Chengbian's carriage.
Kou Yi muttered in a low voice: "It's really a narrow road!" β
Guo glanced at Kou Yi and smiled secretly, this is a narrow road for some kind of rivalry, and it is really normal for peers to meet.
After a while, the carriage came to Guo Dan's front, and saw Liu Chengbian getting off the carriage, handsome and chic, with a calm expression, and did not seem to be affected by Chen Lou's incident.
"Brother Liu."
Guo Dan walked over "happily".
"Brother Guo Xian."
When Liu Chengbian saw Guo Dan, he couldn't help but be a little excited.
"What a coincidence!" Guo said lightly.
Liu Chengbian glanced at Kou Yi and said with a smile: "Presumably Brother Guo Xian is also here for the new wine." β
Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said, "How does Brother Liu know?" Could it be that Brother Liu is also here for this matter? β
Kou Yi only blushed when he heard this, uncle, you just reacted!
Liu Chengbian nodded, and arched his hand: "Brother Guo Xian will have to be a brother later!" β
Guo Dan smiled with a coquettish smile: "It's easy to say!" Say! β
Kou Yi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and you were too self-aware, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Liu Gongzi smiled, my aunt has not been in the industry for a long time, and I will count on Liu Gongzi to show mercy to your subordinates." β
Guo Dan turned his head and looked at Kou Yi with an unhappy expression.
Kou Yi pretended not to see it, the two of them didn't quarrel much about this matter, you have no ability, and you love to call the shots, so Kou Yi doesn't like to talk about business with Guo Dan very much.
Liu Chengbian saw it in his eyes, and secretly thought, they still haven't changed, but I still can't take it lightly, after all, there is a sluan standing behind them.
"Haha!"
Hearing a burst of hearty laughter, I saw Xu Mao come out of the gate, arch his hand towards Guo Dan and Liu Chengbian, and said: "A few people are busy and take the time to come here, Xu is really grateful!" β
"How dare you, how dare you."
After some greetings, they came to the front yard, Xu Mao suddenly said: "Three, my lord has something to do temporarily, and he has already gone out before, and before leaving, he has ordered me to be responsible for negotiating with the three, and I ask the three of you to bear with me." β
Liu Cheng became busy and said: "The big housekeeper is serious, my uncle can invite me to come here, I have been fortunate for three lives, and the younger generation is very grateful in my heart." β
Guo Danzhi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Liu is right, hehe." β
Xu Mao glanced at Guo Dan, and said: "The two of you are invited to come here today, mainly for the winery, in that case, I think why don't we go to the wine cellar and talk in detail while tasting wine." β
Liu Chengbian immediately said: "Everything is up to the big housekeeper." β
He also knew that the wine of the Xing'an Bo family was not one or two, there were many kinds, and it would definitely be more convenient to go to the wine cellar to talk, and they were not distinguished guests, sitting in the lobby, but uncomfortable, in fact, they did not have this qualification.
Xu Mao said again: "But it is not appropriate for many people to go to the wine cellar, you can see ......." β
Guo Dan immediately said: "Kou Yi, you are waiting here." β
Liu Chengbian's eyes flashed with joy, he would not think about competing with the strong, this is not a dance and writing, this is a business, and he can compete with the weak, of course it is the best.
Kou Yi almost didn't vomit blood, gently pulled down Guo Dan's sleeve, and whispered, "Uncle, have you forgotten the master's instructions?" β
Guo Dan's face changed, and he said unhappily: "Okay, okay, you go to talk, you go to talk, I'll go back." β
This is his true purpose, he actually wants to slip away.
Xu Mao smiled: "Then what's the matter, if the master knows, he has to scold me for not treating guests well, otherwise, Guo Tongsheng will go to the wing room first and wait." β
Guo looked at Kou Yi calmly.
Kou Yi nodded wryly.
Only then did Guo Dan bow his hand to Xu Mao and said, "Then there is a big housekeeper." β
Xu Mao immediately called a slave maid and took Guo Dan to the side room, while he went to the wine cellar with Liu Chengbian and Kou Yi.
Guo Dan came to the side room, and as soon as he sat down, he saw two or three maidservants coming up with delicious wine and food.
"Tsk... It's not a loss of Earl's Court, this hospitality is different. β
Guo Dan is not a polite person, he immediately picked up the wine jug to pour himself wine, but when he saw an amber column of water fall into the cup, a fragrant fragrance suddenly came to his nose, which made Guo Dan's eyes light up, and said: "What a good wine!" β
Putting down the wine jug, he couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass, first smelled it, and then tasted it, only to feel that this wine is mellow and sweet, taste it carefully, and feel that this wine has a full taste, which contains sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh, astringent six flavors, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
After this cup fell into his stomach, Guo Danwu held the empty wine glass, stunned, and the picture of his previous life flashed in his mind, and there was a feeling that it was like a dream.
Drink wine, but taste it in a previous life!
Suddenly, someone outside the door asked, "How is this wine?" β
Guo Dan subconsciously said: "This wine is really wonderful!" β
As soon as the words came out, he suddenly came to his senses, looked sideways, and saw an old man standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Senior Guo Dan, I don't know who you are, old man?" β
The old man raised his legs and entered the door, and asked instead of answering, "You are the son-in-law of the Kou family?" β
Guo Dan arched his hand and said, "Exactly." β
The old man sat down in a dignified manner, looked at Guo Dan again, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you come here to discuss the new wine, why are you sitting here?" β
Guo Dan said: "My housekeeper has already gone to talk, but it is not suitable for many people to go to the wine cellar, so the chief housekeeper of your mansion asked me to wait here." β
The old man smiled and said: "Your Kou family is really unique, let your son-in-law come, but let the housekeeper talk." β
Guo Dan looked at the old man, sighed slightly, and said: "If it is another business, it is naturally the younger generation, but this transaction is related to Xing'anbo, our Kou family is extremely important, if it is not for my father-in-law's physical discomfort, he will definitely come in person, however, the younger generation has not been in the industry for a long time, but he does not dare to talk nonsense, in case of bad Xing'anbo's major event, even if the younger generation dies, it is difficult to make up for it, and my housekeeper is experienced, so it is most suitable for him to go." β
"What a seamless answer!"
The old man nodded with a smile, and said: "Not long after you entered the industry, you will be able to play the Liu family, Jinyulou, including the Kou family. β
