There was no accident at all, in the card game that night, Du Youxin, the second generation of Qi Guofu, once again lost almost 1,000 taels of silver to Xiao Yao, and Du Youxin, who lost the money, still had a happy smile, and he didn't dare to flatter Xiao Yao in his expression or words.

"Brother Shiro, you and I have been eating, drinking and having fun together for almost a month, I believe that now Shiro has also felt the sincerity of our Du family, our Du family has always wanted to deepen cooperation with General Commercial Bank and make a lot of money together! And now Shiro has also suffered a setback in his career, so he can't be affected in terms of financial luck, right? Du Youxin instigated that during this time, his relationship with Xiao Yao became very close, and they were even called brothers.

Although Wei Xiangyuan once chased and killed Xiao Yao with Gao Changgong in the Battle of Linying County, Xiao Yao would never have any impression of him in that chaotic scene of thousands of troops, so now facing this enemy who wants to kill each other on the battlefield on the gambling table, Xiao Yao still hasn't recognized his true identity!

But there must be demons when things happen, looking at this second generation of Qi Guofu who is so enthusiastic about himself, and even a little flattering is too much, Xiao Yao, who has suffered a big loss because of the light enemy, and swore that he will not fail again for the second time, of course, always maintains a vigilant heart, and his intuition tells Xiao Yao that there must be something wrong with the Qi people in front of him who have lost money and kept smiling!

"Brother Du's meaning Shiro naturally understands, but I believe Brother Du also knows that now General Comprising is no longer something I can call the shots alone! And Shiro's usual style of acting is also a bit arrogant, so he has offended a lot of people in Jinling! Now Brother Du wants to send so much silver into Shiro's pocket, which will inevitably cause other people's eyes, now Shiro no longer has an official position, and His Royal Highness King Xing has also been transferred to Xiangzhou, if these high-ranking and powerful people with deep backgrounds want to attack Shiro when they see their wealth, then Shiro will be in trouble! Xiao Yao is still playing Tai Chi with him as always, finding all kinds of reasons to shirk, it is completely like taking the money and never doing anything!

"Haha, Shiro is really a cunning little fox, and now he is fooling your Big Brother Du again, I have lost so much money to you in this month, but you still keep treating Big Brother Du as an outsider!" Du Youxin pretended to be angry and said, and then suddenly smiled: "Although the general business bank now has the emperor of your Chen State inside, but I know that he does not interfere in the daily operation of your general business bank, and the business affairs are still in charge of Boss Zu!" And who doesn't know that the reason why this general firm was able to become the second largest firm in Chen Guo in just a few years was because of Shiro's ingenuity and inventing those amazing novel products, so the ancestor boss of this general firm was still very obedient to Shiro! I believe that as long as Shiro's words, our Du family can immediately become the general agent of General Motors in Qi country! ”

"Hehe, it seems that Brother Du has investigated us in great detail! But Brother Du is hot, Shiro still really feels it! Xiao Yao touched the pile of shiny silver on the gambling table, and said with a greedy smile, there have been no silver tickets in this era, and everything is still traded in cash, so now they play cards with real silver!

"But! It's just a small matter of letting your Du family become the general agent of our general firm in Qi country, in fact, with your Du family's broad contacts and deep financial resources in Qi country, I believe that as long as you use a little means to put a little pressure on other business houses in Qi country, and then give us some benefits, our general firm will definitely agree to your request! But now Brother Du is so generous to Shiro, which makes Shiro a little unbelievable, I have always felt that Brother Du has other thoughts in his heart, you also know that Shiro has many enemies, and he has always been cautious in doing things, so now I have to have a trace of doubt about Brother Du! Xiao Yao told Du Youxin directly, I just don't believe you, I just suspect that you have other conspiracies!

"Haha, everyone in the world says that Shiro is delicate and young and old, which is not wrong at all!" Du Youxin laughed and said, and then readily admitted Xiao Yao's guess, and said bluntly: "That's right! We came to Jinling City this time and met Shiro, in fact, there is another purpose, that is, to buy some formulas from Shiro! ”

"Recipe? What is the formula? Xiao Yao's eyes changed suddenly, and his tone suddenly became cold, and he said: "I didn't expect that your Du family's appetite is really not small, and you have all hit the recipe that is an absolute secret in our general trading house, and even His Majesty knows about it!" Do you think I'll sell you the formula? ”

"Don't be upset yet, of course we know the importance of these formulas to your general trading house, so we know their value as well! And we know that Shiro is talented and has invented so many wonderful things that people can't understand, and we don't dare to expect to be able to buy all the formulas, so we just hope that Shiro can buy the formula of one of these products to our Du family! As the saying goes, in the eyes of our businessmen, everything has a price, I believe that as long as the price is right, Shiro you will definitely sell the formula to our Du family! Du Youxin said with a confident smile. Love books

In fact, Wei Xiangyuan didn't have the idea of buying these formulas at all, and he also knew that Xiao Yao would never sell him these formulas that even Emperor Chen Guo didn't know, but the more obvious the lie, the more it could attract the attention of others, so in order to deceive Xiao Yao's suspicion, he made such a ridiculous request!

"Then I don't know what kind of product Brother Du wants?" Xiao Yao asked with a sneer.

"Of course it is, of course it's the recipe for the perfume!" Du Youxin paused for a moment, almost blurted out, and suddenly said the three words black powder, after all, his main task in Jinling was to steal the formula of black powder, if he couldn't develop pure black powder, then the artillery that Gao Changgong took from Xiao Yao's hands now would be like scrap metal, and it would not be able to exert any power at all.

"Perfume recipe?" Xiao Yao looked at Du Youxin suspiciously, and then smiled coldly: "Isn't what you Qi people want the most is my recipe for black powder?" ”

"Haha, Shiro is really good at laughing, what do I want all those things for war? I know that Shiro has some festivals with our Lanling King of Qi, and even the Lanling King once asked us to come to Chen this time to bring back more fireworks made of gunpowder, and he should also want to find out the recipe for black powder from these fireworks! But please Shiro believe that our Du family will never do these things that betray business friends, and our Du family has always strictly adhered to the ancestral precept of never interfering in the government affairs in the Qi State, and also decisively rejected the request of King Lanling, so we will never touch these black powder used to fight! Du Youxin immediately explained with a weak heart.

"Is that so? Of course I believe Brother Du's words! So if Brother Du just wants my perfume formula, then what price can you afford? Xiao Yao's face improved slightly, but in fact, he was still vigilant in his heart.

"Well, our Du family can be said to be a rich party in the Qi country, so we can afford a lot of money, but I hope to see your workshop with my own eyes, and then I can make a specific bid!" Du Youxin looked at Xiao Yao and said his purpose.

"Brother Du just wants to come to our workshop to have a look?" Xiao Yao was a little unconvinced that his request was so simple.

"The workshop of the General Trading House is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will, so of course I wanted to see for myself this mysterious place where such a magical product can be made! It's just that the workshops of your general trading house are all outside the city, and I heard that since Shiro was removed from his military position by Emperor Chen, and the guards sent by the governor of Wu also left Jinling, Shiro has been in this general casino in the city, and has never been outside the city at all, is Shiro afraid that someone outside the city will be unfavorable to you? Du Youxin said.

"The outside of the city is wild, there are many wastelands, and the place is large, and you can build a large-scale workshop, but it is also easy to attack, so of course the guards should be tighter! As for this time, I haven't been out of the city, that's because I want to have a good time here in the general casino, after all, I don't die in calamity, I know the importance of life, life is short, and I have fun in time! Xiao Yao smiled, then nodded and said, "Speaking of being afraid that someone will deal with me, in fact, it is much more dangerous inside Jinling City than outside the city!" However, since Brother Du wants to see our workshop with his own eyes, and Brother Du and I are brothers, of course I want to personally accompany Brother Du out of the city and let Brother Du see the workshop of our general firm! ”
