Cai Minde is also a rich man, in this Bianliang one acre and three points of land, he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face, but he was ignored by one of his subordinates and a shabby-dressed boy.
What a shame!
He and Li Qi haven't seen each other yet, so they can be forgiven, but Cai Laosan----, if Li Qi hadn't been here, he would have slapped him a long time ago.
Cai Laosan, who suddenly woke up, suddenly complained in his heart, hurriedly made up for his mistakes, beckoned to Li Qi, and squeezed out a smile and said: "Li Gongzi, come on, come on, I will introduce a noble person for you." ”
"Noble?"
Li Qi was very "surprised".
"This big official is my lord, a well-known rich man in Tokyo, known as Cai Yuanwai."
Cai Laosan stretched out his hand towards Cai Minde and introduced proudly.
"Cai Yuanwai?"
Li Qideng gasped, ignored Cai Laosan with one hand, walked straight to Cai Minde, looked at Cai Yuanwai incredulously, and said in surprise: "Could this be the rich man Cai who once served as a chef in Taishi Cai's mansion, and later abandoned cooking to become a businessman?" ”
Cai Minde heard Li Qi mention his past, his brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded with a smile: "Don't dare, it's Cai!" ”
"Oh!"
Li Qi suddenly exclaimed, almost didn't scare Cai Laosan who was sincerely scared on the side, and before the two masters and servants could react, Li Qi suddenly bowed deeply to Cai Minde.
Cai Minde never expected Li Qi to suddenly make such a big gift, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly helped Li Qi up, and said: "Li Gongzi, please get up quickly, how can Cai be so virtuous, how can he afford to be a big gift." ”
After Li Qi got up, he was very "excited" and said: "The outside is too modest, the little brother has heard the name of the outside for a long time, like thunder, I can see it today, which is enough to comfort my life's wishes!" ”
Without saying a word, this sycophant came.
But who wouldn't want to listen to good words?
Cai Minde waved his hand and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi said that he laughed, Cai is a businessman full of copper smell, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" ”
"The staff is too modest!" Li Qi shook his head and arched his hand towards Cai Minde: "The heroic deeds of the staff back then have long been a household name, and according to the younger brother, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are Mr. Zhuge in the business world. ”
There are many literati and scholars sitting around, hearing that Li Qi compared Cai Minde, who eats people and does not spit out bones, with Mr. Wolong, he blew his beard angrily and glared, if he wasn't afraid of Cai Minde's strength, it is estimated that he would have rushed up and beaten Li Qi again.
But there were still some "angry youths" and mocked a few words in a low voice.
"Shameless villain!"
"Hmph, it's another flatterer!"
"Sitting under the same roof with such a shameless person, how can you eat, Brother Long Ting, I think we should find another place."
For these sarcasms, Li Qi didn't care about it, and felt quite funny, just you pedantic scholars, you know how to pat those saints' asses all day long, and you are embarrassed to say that I, it's really fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Cai Minde was overjoyed when he heard Li Qi praise him as Zhuge Kongming in the business world, but suddenly heard the sarcastic voices of those people next to him, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, his old face turned red, and he said with a smile: "Cai is really an insignificant businessman, how can he be compared with that Zhuge sage, and I hope that the son will not say it again, so as not to make people listen to it, and the joke is below." ”
If you don't let me say, I still want to say that there is a reason to lose half of the gambling money, but there is no reason to shoot half of the money.
Li Qi glanced at those people with disdain, and then said to Cai Yuanwai: "Outside the staff is a person of great wisdom, don't care about the foolish words of those who only shake their heads all day long and are pedantic, those of them who rely on the shadow of their ancestors to eat, how can they know the hardships of Cai Yuanwai." Forgive me for daring to ask. ”
"Li Gongzi, excuse me." Cai Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled.
No matter how stupid a person is, he will not stop others from patting his ass.
"I heard that I was born in a farmer's family, I don't know if it!" Richie asked.
For this Cai Minde's life experience, he has long understood it, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Cai Yuanwai was slightly stunned, although he didn't know why Li Qi asked like this, but he could see that Li Qi didn't seem to be deliberately sarcastic about himself, nodded, and sighed: "Don't hide it from Li Gongzi, my ancestors have lived on farming for generations, and it wasn't until my generation that I ---," Speaking of this, he sighed again, shook his head and said: "It made Li Gongzi smile." ”
"Respectable, respectable!"
Li Qi sighed, looked at Cai Minde with admiration, and said excitedly: "The so-called hero doesn't ask where he comes from, I think that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was not also from a peasant family, and he still created the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years.
Although the staff came from a humble background, but with their own efforts and sweat, they created such a big family business, just by virtue of this, looking at the entire Song Dynasty business community, no one can match, it is really a model for my generation, even if it is really compared to Zhuge , it is not an exaggeration.
Besides, what about the merchants? In the eyes of the younger brother, those who are lazy all day long, do not want to forge ahead, and do not know where the rice comes from are the most despised. ”
After these words, the so-called literati scholars sitting there suddenly became speechless, and their faces were all red, but they couldn't think of how to refute it.
When Cai Minde heard this, he was overjoyed, his face was full of pride, and he was about to flutter. He has always regarded his background as a stain that he will not be able to get rid of in his life, but Li Qi's words today make him proud of his origin.
Seeing that his big boss was so happy, Cai Laosan, who had always eaten by opening his mouth, knew that there was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the world, and this sycophant could be used as a textbook.
Shame! It's a shame!
However, Li Qi is actually not a sloppy person, but when he used to follow his father-in-law who was on the Forbes list, he also listened to a lot of flattery, no matter how much flesh and numb flattery, and over time, he also learned the essence of sycophancy.
Besides, in fact, what Li Qi just said is not all lies, no matter how Cai Minde is evil, but he can have today's achievements, which is enough to prove that he is still outstanding.
It is precisely because of this that Li Qi has to let him let down his guard against himself, and in this way, his winning rate is several layers higher.
Anyway, sycophants don't want money, so why not do this kind of business that is sure to make money and not lose money.
"Good! You can say that again! ”
Cai Minde looked at the faces of those talented scholars, his heart was particularly happy, and he hugged his fist towards Li Qi and said: "Listening to Gongzi's words, Cai Mou's mouth suddenly opened, and Cai's insight made Cai Mousheng admire!" ”
"The outsider smiled!"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "It's just that I can't get used to those who slander outsiders, come on, come on, please sit down." ”
