Chapter 101: Forming an alliance with the Zhen Clan

Due to the emergence of gold mines under the rule of LΓΌ Bu, the two sides took what they needed and cooperated very happily, so the relationship between the two sides has warmed up rapidly for a period of time.

Therefore, this time the negotiation between Lu Bu and Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao only lasted for nearly a day, and they initially reached a result that both parties were satisfied with.

Lu Bu took out half of the gold produced by the gold mine and handed it to the Zhen family for trading.

Correspondingly, the Zhen family also spent nearly thirty percent of their financial resources to support Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army.

Whether it is a big family or a business family such as the Zhen family, they all know the truth that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, so the Zhen family can come up with thirty percent of the financial resources to support them, which has exceeded Lu Bu's expectations.

After all, the Zhen family is the leading giant family in the entire business world, and the industry involves all aspects, and thirty percent of the financial resources are also quite a huge amount for the princes of one party.

Take the merger of states as an example, half of the 30% financial resources are enough to solve the problem of resettlement of the more than one million people in the remaining Yellow Turbans at one time.

After the negotiation, Zhen Yan ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and did not call anyone else, and the three of them had a good time.

"Second Brother Zhen, I specially brought a lot of good wine this time, let's taste it together."

After this period of communication, the three of them began to call each other brothers, and Lu Bu took out a jar of unopened wine at this moment and said mysteriously.

Zhen Yao spoke first: "Oh? Brother Fengxian, it's not my brother who boasts, I've been traveling north and south for a while, and ordinary wine can't enter my mouth. ”

"Hahaha, then you can be regarded as fishing, if you taste this wine, Zhun Bao will not drink other wines."

Zhen Yan interjected curiously: "Is there really such a fine wine?" Hurry on, let's have a taste. ”

The wine that Lu Bu took out was white wine.

During this time, the liquor was secretly sold to the grasslands and obtained very good results.

The reason why Lu Bu did not sell on a large scale was for the future layout, and he still had to implement the economic empire plan proposed by Diao Chan.

The sale and networking of liquor is an important part of this plan, and Lu Bu intends to do it in the name of others, and the Zhen family is an excellent partner.

After tasting the liquor, Zhen Yao was suddenly excited, and said to Lu Bu just now, I'm afraid that even the jade liquid elixir in the sky can't compare to this wine. "Brother Fengxian, why didn't you take out such good things before, you made my brother so miserable."

Lu Bu joked and said: "I didn't dare to take it out before, in case the Zhen family who is full of people in the world can't look down on the small gold mine in my state, I will lose a lot of money, how can I be willing to take out such good things for you to taste again?" Hahaha"

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhen Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Fengxian, you mean that this wine is from you?" ”

Lu Bu was noncommittal, lowered his head and concentrated on nibbling on the chicken leg in front of him, but the expression on his face was exactly like this.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao glanced at each other, and both saw the excitement in each other's eyes, Zhen Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Fengxian, who made this wine?" ”

Only then did Lu Bu slowly speak: "In the whole world, only I can brew this kind of wine, and this is not the best. ”

"This, this, this, is this true?" Zhen Yan asked in disbelief.

"Absolutely."

Zhen Yan gasped, the wine at this time was the brewing process passed down by Du Kang at that time.

Compared with Lu Bu's liquor, it was simply a difference between cloud and mud, and they saw the huge business opportunities at a glance.

Zhen's transformation into a business family has not been a long time, but it can compete with the old business family Wei, and even has a faint momentum of transcendence.

The world thinks that this is the credit of Zhen Yao, the third elder of the Zhen family, but in fact, only a few people understand that the most economically minded person in the Zhen family who led the rapid rise of the Zhen family is this head of the family, a small Qu Liang Ling on the bright side.

Lu Bu saw Zhen Yan's expression and knew that the other party was thinking at the moment.

He didn't interrupt, he tried his best to destroy the wine and food in front of him, and he was not happy to eat meat and drink in a big bowl.

Don't say it, being rich is good, this food is really full of color and flavor, even the young master Lu Bulu from later generations thinks it is extremely delicious.

It wasn't until Lu Bu was full that Zhen Yan finally spoke: "Brother Fengxian, what do you need, open your mouth." ”

A conspiracy smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and he put down the food in his hand and said, "Hehehe, what can you give me?" ”

"You, you, whoever wants to say that you Lu Bu is kind in the future, I will be the first to not let him go."

"Haha, Second Brother Zhen, let's be with each other."

Zhen Yan shook his head and said with a wry smile, the main reason why he agreed to use thirty percent of the family's financial resources in exchange for Lu Bu's right to sell the gold mine was actually because of Lu Bu's own strength.

Their Zhen family is also laying out everywhere now, Yuan Shao is a family, Lu Bu is a family, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is also their Zhen family secretly providing a lot of help.

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, this is the law of survival and continuation of all families in troubled times.

The gold mine is just a high-sounding excuse provided by the Wei Zhen family, and I believe that Lu Bu has long understood this matter.

However, this liquor is different from the gold mine, although the gold mine is profitable, it has many constraints, and at the same time, the gold mine in the world is not only Lu Bu here.

Not to mention, Qingzhou and Youzhou have relatively large gold mines.

But this liquor is different, it is unique in the world.

And it is no exaggeration to say that anyone who is good at wine, once they taste this kind of immortal wine, ordinary wine will directly become tasteless garbage.

In such a situation, with the help of liquor, Zhen will definitely be able to reach a higher level in one or two years and truly become the largest business family in the world.

The rivalry between them and the Wei clan intensified with the advent of the troubled times, so they also had a very strong sense of crisis, even more serious than those princes.

Lu Bu also understands these things, after all, before crossing over, he was studying history, and the main direction of attack happened to be the history of the Three Kingdoms.

So at this time, he was not in a hurry at all, he was very sure that the other party could not refuse him to refuse liquor.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhen Yan still spoke: "Forty and a half." ”

Lu Bu knew that what the other party was talking about was the proportion of the financial resources that supported him in the entire Zhen family, which was already close to half of the Zhen family's financial resources, which could be said to be very generous conditions, but Lu Bu shook his head gently.

Zhen Yan was just a temptation, and he spoke again: "Fifty percent! ”

Lu Bu shook his head.

"Fifty and a half." Zhen Yan was a little painful.

Still shaking his head.

"Sixty percent." Zhen Yan felt her heart beat a little faster.

Still shaking his head.

"Seven, eighty!" Zhen Yan's tone was a little unkind.

Zhen Yao looked at his brother in shock.

The first time I saw my brother lose his temper like this, his eyes were red, like a gambler who had lost red-eyed.

couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Bu, even more surprised, because the latter was still that calm and breezy appearance at this time.

"Lu Fengxian, you bastard, what the hell do you want?" Zhen Yan almost gritted his back molars and said this.

Lu Bu estimated that the heat was about the same, and it would be self-defeating to force the other party.

finally said slowly: "I need the full support of your Zhen family, ten or even twelve percent of the support." ”

Zhen Yan's pupils shrank, and sure enough, he was a little annoyed in his heart, and let out a sneer.

Lu Bu then spoke: "Second brother, don't worry, listen to me analyze it carefully for you." All you ask for is riches. So the premise of seeking wealth is to survive, but now in this world, troubled times are coming, this is something we know very well. All the great families are looking for their own way back, and there should be more than one. As far as I know, Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou, Yuan Shao of Bohai and you should all cooperate. ”

Lu Bu looked at the other party's somewhat gloomy face, didn't care at all, and continued to speak.

"Although I am barren and Dong Zhuo is mainly targeting me, this is my current disadvantage. However, the grassland tribes are pacified by my own strength, and now the business is also in my hands, one of them; I am the only one in the world who owns this liquor, and this is the second; In terms of force and prestige, there is no one to match me except for the Han thief Dong Zhuo today, thirdly; With these three, who else is suitable for your full support today besides me? ”

Hearing this, Zhen Yan lowered his head and thought carefully.

As Lu Bu said, the importance of liquor is self-evident, and as a business that has been up and down for many years, he can be very clear about the huge interests represented behind this liquor.

And what Lu Bu said is very right, he still controls the trade channels with the grassland at the moment, and the grassland tribes have always sought all kinds of items in the Central Plains, and the unique items on the grassland are also very popular in the Central Plains.

What's more, two days ago, they already knew the news that Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army led his troops to surrender to Lu Bu.

In other words, the entire Zhongshan and Changshan counties had fallen into the hands of Lu Bu at this time.

Unless the Zhen family is willing to move the clan, the entire Zhen family is already under Lu Bu's control.

The last point is that Lu Bu's own strength is indeed the second strongest today, and no one dares to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, who is the first strongest, is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, so the best choice is Lu Bu.

The two brothers glanced at each other again, Zhen Yao nodded, and Zhen Yan finally said ruthlessly: "Okay, I will promise you this matter, and I will handle the work of the rest of the Zhen family." From now on, we will be in the same boat. ”

"Hahaha, that's great. Second Brother Zhen, don't be bitter, there are some things you don't know yet. In a few days, you will come with me to merge the state, and there are some things that you will never regret today's decision, I assure you. At the same time, I also promise you that in the future, the most financially powerful person in the whole world will be your Zhen family! ”

Zhen Yan is also a bold person, since he has made up his mind, he is no longer entangled, and said happily: "You, you, from now on, what you Lu Fengxian said, I can only listen to three points at most!" Hahahaha! ”

The atmosphere of the three of them finally returned to relaxation and joy again, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. ”
