Coming out of Foreign Minister Tian Rong's mansion, Bai Gui hurried to the next one.

Everyone knows that Bai Gui will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he will not give you generous gifts for no reason. Not yet? His wife and children were placed under house arrest in the Qi Palace, and they came to fish for people.

"White officials! For this matter! We can't help it! Buy a horse! It's the main thing! What the white officials have to do now is to send the horses over.

From what I have learned, the Lord is sincere in buying horses! I have heard that the Lord has sent a lot of salt. And! The white officials have also signed for it.

So! The immediate priority now is to get the horses over as soon as possible. Feel relieved! The families of the white officials, there is no problem with safety! This aspect! We'll do our best to protect! ”

Bai Gui promised: "I have already informed the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the horses at this time should have reached the realm of the Zhao Kingdom. And if nothing else? It won't be long! You can reach the Qi-Zhao border.

Horse! No one will be missing! As much as the Lord says, I will ship! When it comes to money, if the Lord has a problem, let it go! No hurry! No hurry!

What worries me the most right now is! Is there enough goods exchanged with the steppe people? Although my third brother-in-law is also among them, after all, my third brother-in-law does not have many horses. Other people's horses, if you don't give them supplies, they won't let the horses go! I will do my best to exchange all the horses. ”

"Oh?"

"Where do I have so many supplies? I brought the horses back from the steppe, in partnership with the steppe people! Outcome! Wei sent people to assassinate the steppe people and create a contradiction between me and the steppe people! Alas......"

"And what's going on?" The old minister asked.

Bai Gui introduced the assassination of the grassland people sent by King Wei Hui and the fact that he wanted to deceive the grassland people.

On the surface, they are talking about things, but in fact, they are sighing: it is not easy for them to be a businessman, and not all businesses can make money. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

What it actually means: I want to help you Qi Kingdom, but? If Wei does something in it, and the steppe people don't give me horses, I won't have horses for you Qi State. Only by preparing enough supplies to exchange with the steppe people will the steppe be willing to let the horses go. Only by getting ahead of the Wei people can we buy all the horses.

So! If you Qi want to get all the horses, you can't blackmail me. If I don't have supplies to exchange, I can't exchange horses.

On the surface, Bai Gui agreed in one bite. In fact! Bai Gui's meaning is very clear: if you Qi State blackmails me, the horses will not be transported as promised, and I can only sell the supplies to whoever gives me supplies. Because! There is no exchange of supplies with the steppe people, and they don't give me horses.

On the surface, he said that he advanced money and did his best to exchange horses with the steppe people. But actually! Redeemed the horses back, the horses are mine! If you don't give me money, I won't give you horses.

Regarding the matter of saving his wife and children, Bai Gui did not mention it.

That's it! If you blackmail me, and threaten my wife and children, that I may exchange horses for horses. But my wife and children are in your hands, and when you have the horses, will you release my wives and children? What if you don't let it go? Didn't I lose my wife and lose my soldiers?

So! If you want to blackmail me, then I will have to give up my wife and children. Anyway! Your wife and children are in your hands, and there is no guarantee of life and death, so it is better to give up.

That's it! Between wise men and wise men, there are some things that do not need to be said too clearly, everyone understands in their hearts, and that's what it is.

At another minister, Bai Gui received more or less the same answer.

"White officials! This thing! We can only indirectly explain to the Lord that the key is you! Qi wants horses, not your wife and children! You know! Only when the horse comes, can it be ......"

"The horse is already on its way! Horses are not a problem! Baekyu assured.

"I still have a warehouse in Qi country, and I will continue to do business in Qi country. If I miss the appointment, with the ability of the Qi Country Cheetah Team, it can be found out. So! I don't dare to do anything! Unless! I gave up the business of Qi State. Isn't it? ”

"How can the white officials be willing to give up the Qi market? Furthermore! The Qi market is a minor problem. And without the support of the Qi State, it is inconvenient for the white officials to transport goods, right? Isn't it? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Gui arched his hand and said: "The market of Qi can be abandoned, but my warehouse will lack the products of Qi country." Later! If there is no Qi country's goods in my warehouse, then my warehouse will lack competitiveness. A warehouse with incomplete goods cannot satisfy consumers. Isn't it? ……”

"Yes! Oh, yes! White officials! This is one of the secrets of your business success! ”

Bai Gui looked at his old friend and smiled. I thought: There is another meaning in my words, I don't know if you understand it?

On the surface! It seems that my warehouse has no goods and products produced in Qi country, and the variety of goods is not complete. But the implication is: Your Qi country has offended me Bai Gui, in the future! The way for your Qi country to export goods will be cut off.

Of course! The world is not just Bai Gui, a giant businessman. But! There is no business network of a giant merchant in the world that is as strong as Bai Gui's business network. The other giant businessmen are all improvised, buying and selling, and making it difficult for the country to make a fortune. So! If Bai Gui does not do Qi country's business, Qi country's foreign trade exports will be affected.

If Qi does not have the income of foreign trade and exports, the country's GDP will not rise, and its comprehensive national strength will decline.

On the surface! Bai Gui came to bribe and confess to Qi State. Practical! is hinting at Qi and threatening Qi State: Your Qi State has offended me Bai Gui, and you have not only damaged your country's reputation, but also suffered economic losses. And me! The big deal of sacrifice is the wife and children.

You Qi country? Is it just because you can't get along with me Bai Gui? Is it just to kill my wife and children?

Not really! You Qi are here to buy horses!

Buy a horse! That's the purpose of your Qi country! Trying to blackmail me is the purpose of your Qi country. But have you taken the big picture into account? If you take the whole situation into account, you can't blackmail me! Between us, it is a mutually beneficial relationship! Once the diplomatic relationship is severed, both sides will have losses! And you, the Qi side, will lose even more!

In half a night, Bai Gui visited a few old friends. When I came back, I didn't stay in a room at the inn. But! Secretly shifted places.

With the ability of the Cheetah team, his whereabouts in Linzi City are easy to find. If the cheetah team had taken matters into their own hands and pursued him overnight, it would have been easy to catch him. So! Through the secret passage in the inn, I went to another place and slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, the city gate had just opened, and the group left Linzi City.

Bai Gui estimated: This afternoon, his wife and children may be released.

So! It's better to prepare for withdrawal first! Take his wife and leave his brother-in-law forever and cut off contact with his brother-in-law, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
