Volume 1 The First Journey into the Lake Chapter 126 Late Night Secret Discussion
Since Chi Qiu and Qi Xiaofei left, Yan Su'er began to sit and walk around the house without standing, Xiao Yan had never seen the little county lord like this, thinking that she was just worried about Feiyan's condition, in fact, Yan Su'er had been very uncomfortable in the past two days, and she always felt like a fish out of the water, about to dry up, when Chi Qiu appeared, she was in turmoil, but she also knew that her own panic in the past two days came from this man.
She had already asked Xiaoyan to go out to investigate three times, how far Qi Xiaofei's home was, three or four back and forth was enough, and Xiaoya shouted softly: "They are here." ”
Yan Wen'er let out a long sigh of relief, walked into the inner room, and pretended to sit very peacefully by the flying smoke bed.
But after waiting for a long time, no one entered the inner room, she stood up and came to the front hall, and saw that Zhou Rong was almost nestled in Chi Qiu's arms, and a cold light flashed: "Who is this person?" ”
When Zhou Rong told her what had happened in the past two days, the little county lord's expression softened: "Let's go, find them and ask for someone to go." ”
Chi Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Wait." ”
"Are you scared?"
"I have nothing to be afraid of, but I have to think about it." Chi Qiu brought Zhou Rong to Jinxiangyuan, naturally he wanted to use the identity of the small county lord, after all, the county official is not as good as the current management, this material brother mercenary group is considered to be domineering, but Lu Shuizhangtai opened the door to do business in Yanhu and offended the Yan family, isn't that a way to kill himself? That's why he pointed out to Chen Hai that he knew the "little county lord". Chen Hai went back to pass the word, so naturally he would not miss such important information.
But when it comes to talking, how to talk about it is exquisite.
The Yanhu Decree is a decree, the folk customs are the folk customs, according to the folk customs, the father sells his children, and the deed of sale is valid, since it is valid, the robbery is not in accordance with the rules, from the perspective of the Caige mercenary group, if a lord relative speaks, if they can't protect the legitimate rights and interests of the employer, then how can they stand on their own feet in front of their peers? Blocking people's money is like killing your parents, it's no wonder they don't fight with you.
"Little county lord, let's go this time, you are an intermediary, what kind of negotiation, how to talk, you don't have to speak, the negotiation is done, I will sign with them, you only need to receive a document."
"Let's go." Yan Su'er savored this word in her heart, a warm emotion almost made her cry, how did she become so sensitive in the past two days? She doesn't even know.
If Chi Qiu knew that the little county lord's contemplation at this time was not for "justice", but because of a "word", it is estimated that everyone would have to vomit blood.
Ding Feiyan was draped in a big hat, tightly wrapped around her body, her sideburns were loose and her face was flushed, before Chi Qiu came back, she had already woken up, although she was very weak, she was still attracted by Zhou Rong's suffering.
At this time, Qi Xiaofei was well versed in the way of negotiation, and opened her mouth to instruct: "Little county lord, what Chi Qiu said is right, don't talk too much when you go, just sit there and listen, the intermediary only does justice, how to talk is their business, if you say more, it is biased, but it is not good." ”
Yan Su'er was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her thoughts and hurriedly said, "Ah, I know." Let's go, then. ”
"I'll go too." Ding Feiyan was afraid that Yan Yu'er would lose, so he was busy.
"What are you going to, you are here to recuperate." Yan Su'er blocked the way.
"Feiyan, don't make a fuss, I'll decoct the medicine for you." Qi Xiaofei persuaded.
"Speaking of which, I have a way to get those two dealers to withdraw their lawsuits." Seeing Feiyan's haggard appearance, Chi Qiu was distressed.
In addition to being suspended from his post, Ding Zhangqi was also imprisoned because the two Jiangnan businessmen did not forgive and insisted on raising Ding Zhangqi and abusing lynching. This kind of news was naturally blocked, and he only learned about it in Jinxiangyuan.
"Do you have a way?" When Ding Feiyan heard this, she came to the spirit, in her heart, Chi Qiu had many ideas and ideas, since he said so, the haze in her heart was almost swept away.
"I think I can try it." Ji Qiu whispered his thoughts.
In fact, he has been thinking hard about good strategies these days, and whoever lets him eat bran after the wine is green, it is uncomfortable after all, he wants to mix in Yanhu and Wuyue, but he doesn't want to mix even a good meal of wine and meat has to look at the eyes of others to eat. That's not called messing, it's just a matter of staying up, who wants to really do a "ghost" business and stay up until they get rich?
So he hatched a plan, that is, to pretend to be a businessman in Hedong, and appear in Yanhu Lake or even Jiangnan with this identity, it will not look so abrupt, otherwise a farmer will actually wear gold and silver, and enter and exit high-end restaurants, hehe, isn't that equivalent to meat on the board, let others slaughter? Even if Chi Qiu can deal with it, as the so-called is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid of thieves, he wants to live a good life, but he doesn't want to worry about thieves every day.
If you have the identity of a businessman, no matter how high or low, Kui Niu can also find an opportunity to say that it is a recruited nursery, and you can arrange it to your side in a grand manner, and the space for operation of this identity will naturally be much larger in the future.
Negotiating with Lushui Zhangtai as a businessman is secondary, but once you contact those two Jiangnan merchants in this capacity, it will be much more convenient for them to be peers.
Hedong also belongs to the category of the big river, the range is in the Shanxi area, because the Du family is loyal to the Xiting Empire, in order to prevent the Pavilion people from mixing, the Heluo merchants are not trusted by the princes of the river, although there are also trade contacts, but both sides have their own ghosts, more of them take the dark road, which causes the formal trade volume of the West Canal to be greatly reduced.
The merchants of Hedong who lived north of the Yellow River, most of the princes near the north bank of the Yellow River returned to Xiting, and if the merchants of the middle and northern Jin Dynasty wanted to trade, they could only enter Zhuojun and Handan by land before they could take the North Canal and enter Yanhu Lake from Yanzhou. This trade route has long been due to the bad relations between Yanzhou and Yanhu, and the trade route is not smooth, especially this Xiting raid, which will inevitably cause the blockage of the North Canal.
When the goods in the south of the Yangtze River arrived at Yanhu, it was difficult to go north, when investigating the identities of the two merchants, in fact, they found that they had the intention of opening up the smuggling trade route of the North Canal, after all, Yanhu and Yanzhou were the private grudges of the two princes, and the merchants pursued profits, so they naturally hoped that their goods could be sold everywhere in Wuyue, if they were approached as a merchant in Hedong and promised them the business route from Yanhu to Hedong, how could they not be moved? After all, now the goods in the south of the Yangtze River can only go to Yanhu, and further north or east are blocked.
"Do you have a trade route to the east of the river?" Ding Feiyan asked bluntly.
"How could I have it."
"Then why did you get them to drop the charges against my father?"
"Since it is fake, as long as they believe that I am a businessman in Hedong, as for whether the business road can be passed, it is impossible to show it in a while, from Hedong to Hanoi, and then to Chaoge, Handan, Yanzhou, Yanhu, which link of the northern waterway must be opened up, in order to ensure the smooth flow of goods, what I have done is to tell them that I am now also opening up the business road to Jiangnan, and their goals are the same. And your father is a node in my business path, or a person who needs to be kept. ”
"How do you know so much about business?"
"It's not that I'm familiar with it, in Heluo, the dock workers are very familiar with the northern trade road and the Tongxi trade road, you forget that I used to work on the Heluo Canal in the Du family, we move freight all day long, the more merchant ships come, we can make more money, and the merchant ships come less, to tell the truth, at that time we hoped that the West Canal would be cut off, and I am confident that I can bluff them for these business things."
Chi Qiu saw that all the women seemed to understand, so he had to explain: "A merchant hopes to be able to open up a business route, maybe not take a formal way, for example, the anti-smuggling yamen in Yanzhou needs to be cooperated, the Handan River Supervision Bureau needs someone to turn a blind eye, and Yanhu Lake needs someone to be accommodating, this kind of business road can be unblocked, and sometimes it is not one, each has its own background, as the so-called cow, ghost, snake and god show their own powers, as long as they can ensure that the cargo can pass." Now this kind of business must exist in secret, otherwise you can't buy Jiangnan silk in Heluo, at most it is Hunan embroidery, but there is Jiangnan embroidery, of course, it may also be circulated from Jingchu, but the biggest business of businessmen is to open up a channel that belongs to their own business house or chamber of commerce, only in this way can they control and earn the greatest profit. ”
Yan Su'er listened to it in the clouds, but when she heard Chi Qiu talking eloquently, her eyes were really full of little stars.
"But you're violating the rules of Yanhu."
"You're stupid too, I just need to talk, and it may not be possible."
"Are you stupid? If the business is not working, what will they do if they regret it? Ding Feiyan looked angry.
"As long as they agree to cooperate with me, they will withdraw the lawsuit, and as long as they withdraw the lawsuit, they will have no reason to report the case again. As for whether the business road is successful, it can be completely ignored, as long as there is a probability of two or three percent, they will be willing to try, how many businessmen walk in the north and south of the river, all over the world, not just to go out of a business road, no one can guarantee their success, failure accounts for eight or nine out of ten. ”
Ding Feiyan finally reacted, and used this as a gimmick to lead the two businessmen to withdraw the lawsuit, simply put, to give Chi Qiu a face and leave himself a chance to succeed, and that's it: "Then are you sure you can make them believe you?" ”
"As for believe it or not, let's not dwell on it for now, I'm happy to do this for you." This is said bluntly, in front of the girls, a bit of a love word, provoked Ding Feiyan at a loss, Chi Qiu felt the playful gaze of the other three women, and quickly changed his words: "Actually, the main thing is to help Ding Zhangqi, after all, this matter was also my mouth at the time, provoking him to catch the wrong person, and the mistakes and mistakes all came from me, and the two businessmen were also angry for a while, in fact, they and Ding Zhangqi could not talk about deep hatred, and they must also understand that if they really offended the person in charge of Yanhu, Maybe their plan to go north will be put on hold from now on, and it will never be possible again. ”
When it came to this, Ding Feiyan naturally had nothing to say, Zhou Rong was in a hurry to pick up her daughter, and urged repeatedly, and the girls felt that it was feasible, so they agreed to discuss as a businessman after meeting Chi Qiu, and try it first.
