Finally, Liu Mengchen saw Xu Deshan who made him extremely jealous in his Piaoxiang Building, I don't know if it was the reason why Xu Deshan cheated Liu Mengchen once, Liu Mengchen saw Xu Deshan at a glance, and felt that Xu Deshan was here to extort his money.

The shopkeeper accompanied Xu Deshan to eat and drink, and had long been paying attention to the movement at the staircase, and when he saw Liu Mengchen coming, he was about to cry excitedly, and hurriedly got up to give a salute, Liu Mengchen waved his hand and told the shopkeeper to step down, he can understand the current mood of the shopkeeper, Xu Deshan is a character of this level, even he has to be scared, not to mention that he is a shopkeeper.

In Liu Mengchen's heart, he drank Xu Deshan and said that he already had a certain status and status, so he didn't have to be polite like ordinary people, and after driving the shopkeeper away, Liu Mengchen took the golden knife and sat in the position of the previous shopkeeper to see what Xu Deshan had to say.

This time Xu Deshan is begging someone to come, he just teases those guys, in the face of Liu Mengchen, Xu Deshan does not dare to offend, since Liu Mengchen appeared, Xu Deshan's face has always been with a smile.

Communication is like this, if the two of them are cold to each other, with cold faces, staring at each other's problems, I am afraid that two sentences can fight, but if you greet each other with a smile and compliment each other, even if you are friends with wine and meat, and the friendship made of paper, you can always maintain a period of time, and in daily life, most of the time, people need such friendship to maintain communication, especially in the officialdom and shopping malls.

Liu Mengchen said with a smile: "The third son, don't come unharmed. ”

Xu Deshan said: "Okay, okay." ”

Liu Mengchen said: "I heard that the third prince has something to find me today?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "Exactly, I came here today to thank Brother Liu." ”

Liu Mengchen said: "How can you thank you?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "It's a little embarrassing to say, during the New Year, I went out to pay New Year's greetings, and when I came back, I learned that Brother Liu actually gave me fifty taels of silver for the New Year's money, this, we are two equals, Brother Liu returned the money to me, I am really a little ashamed, if there is a chance, I am going to return it to Brother Liu." ”

Look, I didn't say a word, and sure enough, I mentioned the money, Liu Mengchen felt a little angry in his heart, this Xu Deshan, before all of us pooled together a thousand taels of silver, and as a result, we built a school for you, which is already cheap for you, and later during the New Year, I also specially organized the businessmen in the county, called as an elder to give you a happy New Year's money, but in fact, it is not to send you money, a total of a few hundred taels, what's the matter, it's only a few months of hard work, the money is spent, be a man, you can't be so greedy.

Although Liu Mengchen is angry in his heart, Liu Mengchen is also a qualified businessman, and controlling his emotions, the basic quality of a successful businessman Anyway, the current Liu Mengchen doesn't want to offend Xu Deshan so early, the current money is the least important thing for Liu Mengchen, if you can exchange some of your least important things for temporary stability, it is also worth it for Liu Mengchen, of course, if Xu Deshan is too much, wait until Liu Mengchen is properly prepared, is bound to launch a thunderous blow to Xu Deshan, and it is inevitable that Xu Deshan will spit out everything that he has eaten.

Liu Mengchen's face was still as warm as a spring breeze, and said, "This is naturally not necessary, the third son has only learned people, Liu has always admired it, and he has long wanted to visit, and the third son opened a school, recruited disciples, and taught the secret of the book of heaven, I admire it, not to mention anything else, the dog at home is studying in the arithmetic department of the third son, only two months, the method of arithmetic and business that the dog learned from the third son is beyond the accumulation of three generations of my Liu family, only this one, not only makes the dog outstanding, but also overwhelms his peers, And every year for my Liu family is able to contribute thousands of taels of silver, if so, or my Liu family owes the third son, the third son waits, after which I will definitely pack a red envelope and send it to the third son's house, and I hope that the third son will strictly discipline the dog. ”

Liu Mengchen said, this is not nonsense, Liu Mengchen's awe of Xu Deshan, naturally not only because of the relationship between Xu Deshan and Wang Quanzao Liu Xian, Xu Deshan's own ability, is the biggest reason why Xu Deshan can become Liu Mengchen's heart disease, it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Mengchen has spent a lifetime in the accounting to make a fuss, and his life's efforts are not as good as his son's two months of study in Xu Deshan, such a gap makes Liu Mengchen feel afraid in his heart, plus the new business methods that the child has learned, Think about it, if Xu Deshan, as a teacher, gave up literature and business in the future, what a terrible existence it would be, I am afraid that if it is not the business of the Great Song Chao, it will be ruled by Xu Deshan alone.

With such a reason, Liu Mengchen was more willing to unite with Xu Deshan, rather than being hostile to Xu Deshan, and before Xu Deshan could speak, Liu Mengchen gave a big gift, and this big gift, no matter how you look at it, will not be less than a hundred taels of silver.

However, Liu Mengchen underestimated Xu Deshan, the reason why Xu Deshan did not do business was that he did not have much interest in money, the so-called money, although it could not be less, it would be good if it was enough, there were some things that money could not buy, and these things were the direction that Xu Deshan was working towards.

Xu Deshan said with a smile, "Your son is also studying in the academy, so this matter will be easy to do, I have something to ask for, I don't know if Brother Liu can agree." ”

Sure enough, the issue of children's education has been the top priority of parents since ancient times, and when they heard that it was related to their children, Liu Mengchen hurriedly said, "Now the school is orderly and thriving, and

What's the matter, is it a lack of funds, it doesn't matter, as long as the third prince speaks, I, Liu, will make up for it all. ”

Xu Deshan said, "When Brother Liu funded and built the school, there was still a lot of money left, so I don't need it for the time being, but there is another big thing, but it is much more important than silver." ”

Liu Mengchen has been a businessman all his life, so he naturally doesn't understand what is more important than silver in this time, and asks puzzledly, "What else is going on?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "Safety, of course it's safety, Brother Liu, think about it, this school is built in the wilderness, every day Ling Lang comes from the county seat, there are no people along the way, the bandits are innumerable, and now they don't do it, if one day they are ambushed in the middle of the road, suddenly rush out, and arrest Ling Lang, wouldn't everything be over." ”

Liu Mengchen smiled when he heard this, "So that's the case, the third prince is too worried, although I, Liu, can't say how powerful I am, but in this Gaoyang realm, with my face, no one will fight the idea of a dog." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Brother Liu, this is a bad statement, not to mention the bandits other than Gaoyang, just in Gaoyang, seeing that there are more and more cakes in the school, more and more oil and water, that person's heart is greedy, as long as there is one day who thinks that the benefits of robbing the school are greater than the risks, then he will definitely take action." ”

No one can understand the word benefit better than Liu Mengchen, Liu Mengchen thought of something in an instant, and then a cold sweat came down, Xu Deshan said, "Brother Liu, of course what I said is a bit exaggerated, with Brother Liu's face, Ling Lang is naturally worry-free, but my school, teaching is the people of the county, not everyone has Brother Liu's face, Ling Lang may be fine, but a huge school, dozens of students, who knows that they can all be safe, once one person has an accident, then my school, I'm afraid it won't be able to go any further. ”

Hearing this, what Xu Deshan said made sense, but Liu Mengchen was so shrewd that he immediately reacted, thinking that it turned out that he didn't say that he would build this school in the county, and it wasn't that you Xu Deshan insisted again and again, so the school was built here, and now it's up to safety again, who is to blame for this, it's not that you Xu Deshan is to blame.

Liu Mengchen thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and asked, "Then according to the meaning of the third prince, what should I do?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "I have an immature little suggestion, since Ling Lang has benefited a lot in the school, then the children of other big families must have learned a lot, since the school has given everyone knowledge, which is in everyone's interests, so why don't you send some house slaves to protect the safety of the school together?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Mengchen understood what Xu Deshan meant, but when he understood it, Liu Mengchen frowned.

In the Song Dynasty, when the politics were unprecedentedly clear and the legal system was still relatively sound, the rights of officials were restricted, in contrast, the rights of the big merchants rose sharply, and when they had money, they could buy everything, and even ignore the officials.

For example, Liu Mengchen, who calls himself the emperor of the soil in Gaoyang, then he must have the capital to be the emperor, in addition to the good relationship between black and white, and a large amount of silver into the account every year, Liu Mengchen also privately recruited dozens of people with strong martial arts, whether it is to protect the caravan or protect the old and the young, with such a group of armed forces in hand, there can be infinite confidence in his heart.

The ban of the court, what is the ban, in this remote place, even if you practice martial arts behind closed doors, what does it matter, you look at Wang Quanzao, even if he knows how these Dashi clan's families are, but what can he do with them, he can only turn a blind eye, as long as these people don't make trouble, they can go.

However, in private, in private, if you don't get it on the surface, it's easy to say, but now that Xu Deshan has put it on the surface, how can you ask Liu Mengchen to agree, if you agree, who knows if there will be officers and soldiers in private and take Liu Mengchen down.

Xu Deshan saw that Liu Mengchen was noncommittal to his words, and said, "Brother Liu, in fact, this is not only good for the school, but also good for Ling Lang, you think one more step, what do you say is the reason why you can succeed in business and win wealth?" ”

Liu Mengchen doesn't like to listen to other things, but once he talks about the way of doing business, Liu Mengchen is willing to talk to Xu Deshan, no way, the changes in his own children are too shocking to Liu Mengchen, if he says that the child is still shallow and inexperienced, but he will be fooled by Xu Deshan, but Liu Mengchen has been away from the mall for decades, and he has seen the wind and waves, and he wants to communicate with Xu Deshan to see whether Xu Deshan is a businessman, or only on paper.

Regarding Xu Deshan's question, Liu Mengchen thought about it carefully and said, "The so-called business is nothing more than careful planning, making friends with all parties, seeing business opportunities, and operating with integrity." ”

The four sentences summarized by Liu Mengchen can be said to be quite concise, and Xu Deshan also nodded and said, "Brother Liu summed it up very well, but maybe in a pure shopping mall, these sixteen words are invincible, but what I want to say is another side." ”

Liu Mengchen said: "Listen to me." ”

Xu Deshan said, "You only know the foundation of business, but you haven't thought that the most fundamental reason why you can make money in business is that the country is strong, the nation is prosperous, and the rear is stable." ”

Originally, Liu Mengchen thought that Xu Deshan would have some kind of high-mindedness

On the theory, it is unconventional, but Xu Deshan said these big slogans, and Liu Mengchen was a little unimpressed.

Xu Deshan explained, "Since Brother Liu is at the border, he naturally has some business at the border. ”

Liu Mengchen was noncommittal to Xu Deshan's words, after all, those smuggling and even prohibited transactions are not a glorious thing, but Xu Deshan didn't care about this, and continued, "You transport the goods abroad, exchange money or goods back, and the profits are several times, and why there are these profits is because you take this incomparably huge risk on the way out of the country, the greater the risk, the greater the profit, this is the fundamental source of the businessman's profit." ”

For Xu Deshan's words, Liu Mengchen nodded and agreed, Xu Deshan continued, "But the risk is not the same as the risk, some risks are acceptable, and some risks are unbearable, the risk you are taking now is the damage to the goods, robbers along the way, and money turnover, such a risk is also ordinary and acceptable, but think about it, if you work hard, go out of the border and go to the Liao country, but people find a group of Liao troops, not only rob your things, but also kill your people, Don't you have no place to weep? ”

Liu Mengchen said disdainfully: "Third son, you just said that honesty should come first in doing business, if they don't even have these credits, then I don't need to do business with him, my customers are all decades of relationship, these problems, don't worry." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Brother Liu, I don't dare to agree with your words, you are a businessman, in business, business, shopping malls, is there any real faith at all, the reason why the Khitan people are doing business with you now is because my Song Dynasty is strong, and I can be on an equal footing with him Liao, but one day, my Song Dynasty is weak, and he Liao State 3,000 iron horsemen can break my Song Dynasty, at that time, the entire Song Dynasty is in the bag of the Liao State, he Khitan, will he still look at what faith and righteousness with you?" ”

Liu Mengchen was speechless and silent, and Xu Deshan said again, "Of course, I also know that as a businessman, interests are important, and the affairs of the country are too far away, so let's talk about something close, what is the foundation for you to get rich in business?" ”

Liu Mengchen guessed, "It's my ancestors' accumulation, and my generation is diligent?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "Of course, the initial capital accumulation is necessary, but you don't forget that yours is not in money at all, but in Gaoyang County." Think about it, you now have a big business, you can go to the Daimyo's Mansion and Bianliang City is chic, but why do you still have to guard such a small place as Gaoyang, because you know that you can lose money in business, and you can lose when you go to other places, it doesn't matter, because Gaoyang County is your foundation, as long as the foundation of staying in Gaoyang is still there, you will have a chance to make a comeback. ”

Liu Mengchen was trained like a child by Xu Deshan, and wanted to refute it, but after thinking for a long time, Liu Mengchen had to admit that what Xu Deshan said was reasonable, although Liu Mengchen had not read a few books, and he couldn't write much, but the homelike culture handed down from the land of China was still immersed in Liu Mengchen's bones, needless to say that Liu Mengchen's business in Gaoyang County for so many years was just a sentence of falling leaves and returning to the roots, which was enough to tie Liu Mengchen to the land of Gaoyang County.

Xu Deshan said, "If it is normal, it is fine, but now, there is a trace of undercurrent surging in Gaoyang County, once it breaks out, don't say that it is your brother Liu's industry, even the entire Gaoyang County will suffer, you say that you, for the sake of your Xu family, should you send some people to deal with it as soon as possible." ”

Liu Mengchen would not be easily spared by Xu Deshan, he heard Xu Deshan's voice, and hurriedly asked, "The third prince is saying, what is going to happen now?" But my eyes are all over Gaoyang, and those bandits are quiet as usual, why haven't I heard a trace of wind? ”

Xu Deshan said, "This is a heavenly opportunity, and the heavenly opportunity cannot be disclosed, I also told you about the situation, just say it, are you willing to go out?" ”

Liu Mengchen closed his eyes and pondered for a while, calculating the credibility of Xu Deshan's words, calculating and calculating, how to calculate and think that what Xu Deshan said was true, because in this matter, no matter how you look at it, Xu Deshan can't get a trace of benefits in it, as a businessman, Liu Mengchen doesn't believe that anyone will tell lies and deceive people when they can't get benefits.

After a while, Liu Mengchen finally spoke, "How many people does the third prince need?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "No more than forty or fifty people is enough." ”

Liu Mengchen frowned and said, "There are too many of these people. ”

Xu Deshan said, "Naturally, I don't want Brother Liu to come out alone, these families in Gaoyang County, as long as there are disciples studying in the school, then they all have a share, and Brother Liu has to preside over them." ”

Liu Mengchen nodded and said, "The city sergeant clan, almost every family's children are in your school, so the number of people is not too much. ”

Xu Deshan said, "Of course, the school is sponsored by me Xu Deshan, and it is also my bounden duty to protect the safety of students, but I am really a small person, so I found Brother Liu, since Brother Liu agreed, then I should naturally make a contribution, then just like that, all the heroes who participated in the guard school can live in my Xu Mansion for nothing, and get a salary at the end of the month, although it is not much, it is better than nothing." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Mengchen's mouth raised, I said Xu Deshan, why is he so kind today, this little fox, finally showed his tail.
