Chapter 120: Business (4)
The business talked about this point, and it was not too difficult, but Chen Kai was slightly disappointed, but once he thought of the order for military uniforms of the 40,000 army, he would inevitably feel his blood boiling.
"When I go back, I can continue to expand production, but it's time to recruit some business, always let Lao Tzu run orders with a local official, and when the time comes, I will develop a bad habit of asking Chen Kai without asking the market, that's not just fun."
The deal is negotiated, a banquet is inevitable, and even if there is no deal, Chen Kai first arrived on Xiamen Island, with such an identity, it is understandable for Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers to go back to the east.
The banquet was held in Wanshiyan, and all the generals under the command of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were present, but none of the staff and the remnants of the sojourn on Xiamen Island came. Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Chen Kai also secretly wrote down the names and surnames of these generals, Chen Feng, Lan Yan, Huang Yu, Wu Hao, Yang Chaodong, Wang Sheng, Yang Quan, Cai Xin, Cai Xing, Jiang Meiao, Zhang Yunfei, etc., etc., these generals, either the chief military officer, or the general of the seal, all hold the military power, so much that Chen Kai almost didn't recognize it clearly.
"The strength of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers should not be underestimated, Zheng Chenggong is really right."
There was a secret saying in his heart, but his face was not obvious, Chen Kai still pushed the cup with them, and drank happily. But for those female music singing and dancing, for those wine names, and for those delicacies, Chen Kai knows very little, and it is all because of Zheng Lian's treasures, it can be regarded as a long insight.
"Sure enough, if you make do with someone, you will have any knowledge."
Listening to Zheng Lian's triumphant explanation of these hedonistic things, Chen Kai was taught on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart. In Nanao and Chaozhou, the officials and generals under Zheng Chenggong are all responsible for restoration, and even Shi Lang, who has always been at odds with him, is really trying his best to assist Zheng Chenggong in training his soldiers and fighting bravely, but when he arrives in Xiamen, looking at Zheng Lian's appearance, it is no wonder that scholars like Lu Ruoteng, Jiang Yucan, Huang Zhigao, and even Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding will go to Nanao and Chaozhou to defect to Zheng Chenggong.
The weather is different, in the final analysis, it is because of the manager. Zheng Chenggong was bent on recovery, and devoted himself to the whole army war, even his wife was only recently taken over, in this aspect alone, at least Zheng Lian is afraid that even if he lifts Zheng Chenggong's shoes, he is not worthy.
Zheng Lian was talking eloquently, Rao is Chen Kai looked like he was being taught, but Zheng Cai couldn't help frowning. After a long time, the banquet was in full swing, and the generals present had already shouted and drunk, but the movements of the sweaty women in the center of the hall were still so beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
At this point, Chen Kai also realized that there was no need to drink more, and was about to say goodbye to Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers, but Zheng Lian held the wine glass and took the lead in pacing.
"Ben Bo heard that Chen has not been married since joining the army, but is there such a thing?"
Before he could say anything, a wine burp came out, so straight that Chen Kai almost spit out all the wine in his stomach. But when a mouth came out of his mouth, it turned out to be this question, and Chen Kai was shocked.
"If you go back to your uncle, that's true."
Speaking of this, before Zheng Lian could answer this, Chen Kai preemptively explained: "However, Xiaguan does have a favorite woman, but she has been too busy recently, and it is inconvenient to ask her father for marriage." ”
Chen Kai explained with a smile on his face, but blocked Zheng Lian's question that was about to be exported, "I have a daughter, I don't know if I can be a gentleman". At this time, for Zheng Lian, who had already drunk a lot and had some strength in drinking, it was not very comfortable, so he was stunned on the spot and didn't say anything, and before he could react, he was immediately pulled back by Zheng Cai, who came over.
"When Chen joined the army and got married, don't forget to send a post to our brother, even if the military affairs are busy and there are no people, the gift will come."
"Thank you for your uncle's love."
In less than a moment, Chen Kai said goodbye and went back to the room arranged by Zheng Cai for him to rest. It's hard to say whether Zheng Lian really drank too much or fake, but this sentence always made him feel that something was wrong.
Early the next morning, now that the business was over, he set off to take his leave and return to Nanao Island. Zheng Lian, who had a hangover and did not wake up, was dragged by Zheng Cai to see him off, and Chen Kai also looked grateful, so he took a small boat to Gulangyu Island after saying goodbye, and then transferred to a sea boat returning from Kinmen.
Looking at the boat in the distance, Zheng Lian's hangover and unawakened appearance also disappeared for the most part. He hadn't had too much fun yesterday, and he didn't drink much more after being blocked by Chen Kai, but he was too sober after the banquet on weekdays.
"Brother, this guy is here to find out what we are doing."
"You were going to ask me about this yesterday, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter."
Of course, Zheng Cai is not a fool, otherwise it would be impossible to mix well in the Zheng Group, and after Zheng Zhilong was cleared, he even reached the status of a real and unknown leader of the Zheng Group. It's just that Chen Kai's business is also very profitable for them, especially when there is a shortage of grain in Fujian and the supply of goods such as cloth is decreasing.
However, Zheng Cai still has some confidence in this matter, but Zheng Lian is completely different: "That kid has obtained this person's strategy and management talent, and now he has a great momentum." The territory of a prefecture is only a year, and it will be taken steadily. If this continues, we are afraid that it will not be long before we have to revert to the snort on the other side of the stone well. ”
"Then if it's up to you, can you curb this momentum by removing this person this time?"
"At least it won't be any worse."
Speaking of which, Zheng Cai shook his head and said, "Do you think I didn't think about getting rid of Chen Kai and cutting off Zheng Sen's arm?" It's useless, now Zheng Sen's momentum has risen, without Chen Kai, if it weren't for the sudden change in the overall situation, it wouldn't really be much worse. ”
What's more, Chen Kai is essentially a businessman, but he doesn't sell everything. This kind of person will have a place to cooperate in the future, there is no need to cut off his retreat, and there is no need to offend Zheng Sen for this reason, and trap our own family in isolation. ”
On the port, the dialogue between Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers, Chen Kai did not know. However, when he decided to come here earlier, he had already seen that the situation of the two brothers was absolutely impossible to disadvantage him, because although they were stronger, the Qing army in Fujian and the Ming army of the Lu Jian Dynasty regarded them as enemies.
With a large order, Chen Kai returned to Nanao Island, the first batch was 10,000 sets of military uniforms, Zheng Cai was showing his muscles to him and Zheng Chenggong, but Chen Kai was so happy. At least for him, under the premise that Zheng Cai did not dare to provoke a civil war, this was a large sum of silver, and nothing else.
"Keep hiring!"
