Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Mrs. Qin's move to kill the old master with a random punch gave Li Qi and Cai Minde a real lesson.
Never underestimate a woman's explosive power.
But Cai Minde was so anxious to promote this business, which made Li Qi feel a little confused, and after negotiating the details with Cai Minde, he thought alone for a while, and finally understood Cai Minde's intentions.
Cai Minde's purpose in doing this, not only to make money, but most importantly to avoid Zui Xianju, Li Qi knew that he must have noticed Zui Xianju's intention to open a branch in Jiangnan, afraid of fighting at both ends at that time, and had no time to take care of it, he also knew that Li Qi's character would never go there to sell Han Bao, so he wanted to turn his branch into a chain store of Zui Xianju, and Han Bao, a new product, Cheng DΓΉ, which is popular in Bianjing, is enviable, in this case, it is natural to want to sell well in Jiangnan.
In this way, not only can you successfully avoid the Drunken Immortal Residence, but you can also make a lot of money.
I have to say that Cai Minde's wishful thinking is that a sound.
Of course, there will always be some gap between reality and ideals, and Cai Minde now doesn't think that he earns too little, but that Zuixianju earns too much.
But, in any case, the business is a win-win situation.
After figuring it out, Li Qi felt funny in his heart, and he really gave Mrs. Qin permission to do so.
After sending Cai Minde away, Li Qi immediately rushed to the chain store of Zuixianju with Ma Qiao, found Xiaoyu, and instructed her to find a few more capable and reliable people to come out and prepare for the south.
After the negotiation was completed, Li Qi took Ma Qiao to walk comfortably on the royal street, Wang Hao's matter came to an end for the time being, and the canned food matter was also in full swing, and he received such a large amount of business in a daze this morning, and his mood was naturally very good.
When I passed by a shop, I suddenly heard a familiar voice from inside, "Shopkeeper Liu, this- this price is still too high, can you lower it a little lower." β
Li Qi turned his head to look and saw a shop specializing in antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and when he saw the people standing inside, his face was happy, and it was his idol Li Qingzhao who was standing in the shop. At this time, Li Qingzhao was talking to the shopkeeper of this shop, Li Qi, who knew him, surnamed Liu, and was also an old customer of Zuixianju.
However, judging from the looks on the faces of both sides, they did not seem to have a very pleasant conversation.
"Alas. Mrs. Zhao, to tell you the truth, I only sold this price to you because you came every day, and I didn't earn you a penny, so I really can't be lower. β
Li Qingzhao pleaded: "Shopkeeper Liu, I have been looking for this painting from Lin'an all the way here, you see if it can be a little less." β
Shopkeeper Liu still shook his head.
Sweat! Chasing a painting, chasing so far? Lao Tzu picks up girls and doesn't have such great perseverance.
Li Qi rolled his eyes, and also wanted to see what kind of painting could make Li Qingzhao work so hard and ask for someone in a low voice. Raise your leg and walk inside.
"Yo, it's Master Li."
When the shopkeeper Liu saw Li Qi coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, although few people knew about Li Qi as an official, but Li Qi's glorious deeds at the first birthday banquet were still widely known, and Cai Jing was covered with it, and now who would not dare to snub this cook.
Li Qi arched his hand towards Shopkeeper Liu, and then smiled at Li Qingzhao: "Sister Qingzhao." β
Li Qingzhao bowed his head slightly and said, "Master Li." β
Li Qi did not pester Li Qingzhao as before, but took Ma Qiao to look east and west, it really looked like he was here to buy something.
The shopkeeper Liu knew that Li Qi was a rich man, so he hurriedly left Li Qingzhao, walked quickly to Li Qi's side, and said with a smile: "Master Li, what do you need?" β
Li Qi smiled: "That's the case, I see that the furnishings at home are too monotonous, so I want to sell a painting and hang it to add some beauty." β
Shopkeeper Liu asked, "I don't know where Master Li wants to hang?" β
"Thatched huts." Li Qi is serious.
"Thatched house?"
The three people present were all stunned.
This shopkeeper Liu has sold paintings for most of his life, and he has never heard of anyone who wants to hang paintings in a thatched house.
"Master Li, you have a lot of money, and it's not such a trick, it's okay to give it to me!" Ma Qiao wondered.
"You know what!"
Li Qi glared at him and said, "Think about it, when you usually go to the thatched house, you face a black door panel all day long, how boring it is." If there is a beautiful painting on the door panel, it will be very different, and the mood of the thatched house will be much better, and the mood will be good, and the laxative will naturally be smooth. β
Ma Qiao was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems that what you said makes sense." β
Shopkeeper Liu didn't think it was reasonable, but someone gave him silver anyway, so he didn't want it in vain, and said with a smile: "What Master Li said is very true, I don't know what kind of painting Master Li wants to sell?" β
Li Qiwei groaned and said, "Do you have any paintings like Yang Guifei taking a bath here?" β
"Huh?"
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "Yang Guifei out of the bath? I haven't heard of this old man, and I don't know what kind of painting it is. β
"Oh, I said shopkeeper Liu, what I said is so obvious, why don't you know, what a great beauty Yang Guifei is, what kind of scene she is when she comes out of the bath, you should think about it."
Li Qi said with a look of fascination: "You might as well think about it, sitting in the thatched house, you can look at the beauty, what a pleasant thing!" β
Ma Qiao said with a strange look: "I just feel disgusting. β
Li Qi glared at him angrily, and then said impatiently to Shopkeeper Liu: "Do you have this kind of painting here?" β
What Yang Guifei out of the bath picture, if you want to sell the spring palace picture, just say it.
Shopkeeper Liu has now understood, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, the shop doesn't have this kind of painting." β
Li Qingzhao also shook her head when she heard it, if she hadn't had something to talk to Shopkeeper Liu, it was estimated that she would have flashed a long time ago, it was too disgusting.
"That's a shame." Li Qi sighed and said regretfully.
"Master Li, I still have many famous paintings here, you might as well take a look at them again, maybe you can find Ruyi." Shopkeeper Liu did not give up.
"It's fine."
Li Qi nodded, but his eyes glanced at Li Qingzhao, and saw that he had been staring blankly at a painting on the wall, and followed her gaze, only to see that it was a painting of flowers and birds, but saw that the painting was one meter long, about thirty or forty centimeters wide, peonies, orchids, begonias, rhododendrons, covered with the whole frame, dazzling to see, giving people a feeling of super elegance and elegance, even Li Qi, a person who does not know how to paint, thinks it looks good, but that's all.
"Huh? It's a pretty good painting, with a bit of depth. Richie smiled as he pointed to the painting.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "Master Li is really good eyesight, this painting is painted by the great painter Xu Xi, called Xuantang Fugui Tu, and the old decay has just been bought from others." β
"I like the name."
Li Qi nodded, and asked Ma Qiao, "Ma Qiao, what do you think of this painting?" β
Ma Qiao rolled his eyes and said: "A painting is a good painting, but if it is hung in a thatched house, a good painting will be smoked." β
"You can't speak, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you countryman."
Li Qi glared at him angrily, and said to Shopkeeper Liu: "That's it." β
Shopkeeper Liu nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, good." β
Li Qingzhao glanced at Li Qi with a surprised face, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said to the shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper, this painting is the first thing I saw, you can sell it to others." β
Li Qi preemptively said: "Oh? Sister Qingzhao also fell in love with this painting? β
Li Qingzhao nodded slightly, mumbled, and a layer of blush floated on his face.
"That's such a coincidence, and sure enough, the hero sees something in the same way."
Li Qi slapped his hands excitedly, changed his words, and said: "However, since Sister Qingzhao likes it, then how can I win people's love, Ma Qiao, let's go and see it elsewhere." β
Ma Qiao didn't want such a good painting to be ruined by Li Qi, so he nodded, and left in a hurry than Li Qi.
"Waitβwait, Master Li, please wait a minute."
When Shopkeeper Liu saw that Li Qi was leaving, he hurriedly rushed out to stop Li Qi.
"Shopkeeper Liu, are you still in trouble?" Li Qi was surprised.
"Master Li, you wait first."
Shopkeeper Liu appeased Li Qi, and then said to Li Qingzhao: "Mrs. Zhao, it's not that the old man doesn't sell the painting to you, it's just that you come here seven or eight times, but-alas, the old man also has to do business, if you want to buy it, you can take the silver out now, if you don't buy it, I will sell the painting to Master Li." β
Li Qingzhao frowned slightly, and glanced at the "Picture of Wealth and Wealth in Xuantang" reluctantly. It can be seen that she is struggling at this time.
Li Qi glanced at Li Qingzhao, and then asked Shopkeeper Liu: "By the way, Shopkeeper Liu, how much does your painting cost?" β
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "It's not expensive, it's only one hundred and fifty." β
This Nima is not expensive, wo, a painting can be worth dozens of roast ducks for me, pit daddy. No wonder Sister Qingzhao can't afford it, although her husband is an official, but this is really a huge amount of money, don't be greedy for six or seven years, don't even think about it.
However, whoever calls the Northern Song Dynasty is good for this bite, like some guqins, they have to be sold for thousands of pieces.
Li Qi secretly dripped blood in his heart, but said on his lips: "It's so cheap, really, I thought it would be thousands of dollars." β
Shopkeeper Liu was happy, rubbed his hands, and said happily: "That's, that's, of course this is nothing to Master Li." Saying that, he turned to Li Qingzhao and said, "Mrs. Zhao, look." β
Li Qingzhao closed his eyes and sighed, and said, "That's it, that's it, I can't afford it, you can sell it to him." The loneliness in his eyes is unmistakable.
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Sister Qingzhao, I didn't mean to rob you, as long as you say a word, I will never sell it." β
Liu Zhang's heart tightened, and he looked at Li Qingzhao worriedly, now the world is not good, when he bought this painting, he also made a lot of money, and now the capital turnover on hand is difficult, and he just wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, so the price is already very low, you know, he originally sold it for two hundred yuan.
Li Qingzhao nodded slightly and said, "Forget it, you can buy it." After a pause, she asked, "Do you really want to hang this painting in the hut?" β
Li Qi nodded and said: "Of course, I don't know how to appreciate paintings, I just hang them in the thatched house to relieve boredom, and when I have nothing to do, I can count how many flowers there are on it." β
When Li Qingzhao heard this, she wanted to die, and a trace of mist appeared in her eyes, this good picture was ruined like this, she was distressed.
Ma Qiao said depressedly: "Master Li, you spent so much money just to relieve boredom, I really have nothing to say." β
Li Qi snorted, "I didn't let you speak. Shut up. β
Shopkeeper Liu said again: "Master Li, do you still want it?" β
Li Qi asked Li Qingzhao again: "Sister Qingzhao, then I bought it?" β
Li Qingzhao closed his eyes tightly and nodded with difficulty.
Li Qi saw it, and then said to Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, I don't have so much silver on me now, so let's do it, I'll write a note to you, and you will take this note to Drunken Xianju to Uncle Wu to get the money, do you think it's okay?" β
Having said that, a hundred or so is really nothing to Richie, and the money will come back after a sneeze.
This was originally not in accordance with the rules, but the shopkeeper Liu also saw that Li Qi didn't know how to paint at all, and was afraid that Li Qi would change his mind, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, just do what Master Li said." β
When Li Qingzhao saw Li Qi signing his name on the note prepared by Shopkeeper Liu, she cried. How can a person who can write this kind of words know how to appreciate paintings.
