Chapter 447: The Essence of a Businessman

"For example! Bribe the worthless timber of your Qin State to the Wei State, and then let the Wei State do favors. Bai Gui came up with an idea.

The land area of the Qin State is large, and there are many primeval forests, and there are a lot of good wood in it. Because of the war, no one went to cut down at all.

Because of poverty, they went to beg for food with a golden rice bowl, and the poor were busy looking for food to eat. So! No one went to cut down trees.

Because of poverty, there are good wood, but they can't be shipped or sold.

Knowing that the Qin State had cut down a lot of trees, Bai Gui felt that these Dongdong elders were valuable. As long as the trade road is opened, these trees are valuable.

Furniture, lacquerware, etc., which have been deeply processed, cannot be bribed or given away. After deep processing, the cost is large.

"Listen to Daddy!" Shang Ying responded.

"You transport the timber to the border pass, and I personally go to Wei to persuade them. Someone else gave you wood for free, don't you want it? Isn't it? Don't you be a fool? King Wei Hui is a person who likes to take advantage, if you give him wood for free, he will definitely open the checkpoint and let him go.

And then! And then through the relationship, by the way, the outside goods and the materials needed by the Qin State were transported.

Don't be in a hurry to transport Dongdong in, first be a fool and give the wood to Wei for nothing. And then they opened their mouths to transport a little bit of things, things that did not attract the attention of King Wei Hui, and they were willing to be a favor.

And then! With the first time, there is no need to worry about the second time. Isn't it? Later! Slowly, the level opens.

Remember! For the first time! You must send some good wood to Wei Guo, and you must be sincere in order to touch the hearts of others. ”

After Shang Ying listened to the words of his father-in-law Bai Gui, he couldn't stop nodding his head and said: "Our Qin country is rich in a kind of good wood, and people all over the world want it. It's a pity! The road is far away and cannot be transported. ”

"What good wood?"

"In our Qin Kingdom, there is a kind of tree with its own pattern, and after sawing it open, there are beautiful patterns inside. Putting these patterns together creates a beautiful pattern. It is the best decorative material, and there is no need to engrave patterns on it. Once the patchwork is successful, just paint it up. In a word, it's the kind of wood that is naturally carved. ”

"Is there still this kind of wood in the world?"

"The bamboo of our Qin Kingdom also has patterns in it, and it is also a decorative material."

"There are patterns in the bamboo, too?"

"Yes!" Shang Ying introduced: "During my inspection in the Qin Kingdom, I saw such a bamboo, and there was a humanoid judgment in it. Making this kind of bamboo with a humanoid pattern into a bamboo slip will double the value of the bamboo slip, which is very noble. We have also developed a lot, and the bamboo slips in our Qin State collection room are all made of this kind of bamboo......"

"Oh?" Baekyu listened and was very interested.

"The laws I wrote were written in this kind of bamboo slip and stored in them." Shang Ying said proudly.

"Good! Prepare some bamboo slips like this for me, and give them to Wei Jun as a fool! Do you give others things for nothing and beg others, but others don't want them? Don't, they're stupid! Hahaha! ”

"Yes! Father! Shang Ying replied: "We have had this idea for a long time, but! There has never been such an opportunity. Not last time? After the alliance between the Duke of Qin and the Jun of Wei, we are ready to pay bribes. Outcome! Before we could pay the bribe, Wei Jun repented. In this case, if we send him something with a dead face, he will look down on you. ”

"Hmmm! When you give something to someone, you have to pay attention to timing. Sometimes, if you give it to someone for nothing, others won't ask for it, or don't dare to ask for it. Sometimes! If you give something to someone for nothing, it is equivalent to giving it away for nothing, and people will treat you as a fool! You're doing the right thing! ”

"Daddy! But! We missed a chance! Shang Ying said regretfully.

"Opportunities can be created! When I went to Wei, I told them that my people had bought some timber in Qin and wanted to ship it back. Then tell them that if they are willing to let them go, I will give it to them for free.

Of course! It's not that I gave it away for nothing, it's you Qin Guo who gave it away for nothing. This is not? Looking for a reason? Isn't it? Directly saying that it was sent by your Qin State, they may not dare to accept it. Wei Jun knows about it, and he may be held responsible. ”

"I know that! Father! It's all up to you! Timber! I'll have someone transport it to the Wei State checkpoint right away, and you can get out of the customs at any time! ”

The two discussed for a while, and Shang Ying went back.

Before going back, Shang Ying told the pavilion that all the expenses of Bai Gui would be borne by the Qin State Finance.

Shang Ying did not return to his own mansion, nor did he return to his work unit. But! went directly to the Qin Palace to meet Qin Xiaogong.

When Qin Xiaogong learned that Bai Gui was coming, he was so excited that he was about to invite Bai Guanren into the Qin Palace, but was stopped by Shang Ying.

"No, you can't! The current situation in the Qin State is still unstable. If someone knew that he was a white official, they might want to make a fuss about him. still obeys the white officials and conceals their identities. Furthermore! My father-in-law, him! I'll go back to Wei tomorrow. ”

"It's a pity! It's a pity! I haven't been able to meet him! What a pity! Regretful! Qin Xiaogong listened and sighed incessantly.

This time, Bai Gui helped Qin Guo too much. It's true! It is not an exaggeration for him to set up a state banquet to entertain him. Outcome! I can't even see each other.

Shang Ying told Bai Gui's plan to Qin Xiaogong, and Qin Xiaogong listened and nodded incessantly.

"Good! Good! Good! For our Qin State, wood is firewood for cooking. But! For the princes of the Central Plains, it is a treasure. But! The timber of our Qin State is also different from the timber of other vassal states, and our timber is all high-grade and good wood. According to what the white official said, he immediately ordered someone to transport the timber to the border and waited for news from the white official. ”

Qin Xiaogong has always been resolute and resolute, just do what he says, immediately wrote an approval document, asked the small supervisor to send it out, and sent a special person to be responsible, without stopping, to transport the timber in the shortest possible time.

There is a lot of timber, which is stored near the capital and used for the construction of the capital. Right now! Because of the need, a batch had to be transported to the border of Wei first. Timber from a long distance is immediately transported to replenish.

The next day, Bai Gui left the capital of Qin and rushed to Kunshan. On the one hand, he sent people to the Wei State and acted according to the original plan.

As for the matter of bribery, the little man does not need him to come forward in person. Only big people should show their faces at the right time.

In the Wei Kingdom! Baekyu didn't dare to show his face easily. King Wei Hui was arresting him all the time, and other people who wanted to make meritorious contributions were playing with his ideas.

Joke! took him, a giant businessman in the world, hostage, and never had to work again.

"Bai Gui Bai Guanren! You can't enjoy it too much! Come on, come on! Let me teach you how to enjoy life! Hey, hey, hey! ”

This time! The place that Bai Gui wants to go to the most is not the secret wife of the eldest daughter, Bai Mei Shang Ying. And! Go to his other wife's room.

Last time, because he was busy, he only went to his eldest daughter Baimei, but not to his second daughter and eldest son. Outcome! The second daughter and the eldest son ran away from home to find him and almost had an accident. So! Baekyu felt indebted.
