Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Merchant Bai Gui
Looking at the occasional flashes of gangsters, Zhou Bian couldn't help but think of the famous chengguan in later generations, and his heart was suddenly happy, it seems that the history of chengguan has been advanced by himself for so long, but he didn't know that there were pawns in the market in the earlier period, but Luoyang was not set up due to the weakness of the official. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Actually, what Zhou Bian didn't expect was that when he said it casually to Zhang Hu, he actually remembered it, and it was okay, since Duke Zhou didn't manage the city, then the king would take care of it first.
After walking through the bustling street, it was already three poles in the sun when he returned to Zhou Bian's natural residence in Luoyang. Natural Curie's business is still very good, the front hall can no longer sit down, and Zihei has already separated more than a dozen small rooms behind the front hall, focusing on serving high-end guests, and it is also full at this time.
There is only one main entrance to this natural residence, so Zhou Bian and the others enter through the front hall every time. When he walked to the newly separated small room, he saw that one of them actually had the door wide open, which was rare among the people sitting in the private room, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be curious, and when he passed by, he glanced inside, and saw a young man in white, drinking alone. After glancing at it, Zhou Bian kept walking forward, but suddenly heard the man singing loudly, "The wind blows the sword, the belly is empty, there is wine and no guests, and people are easy to get drunk." ā
Hearing this singing, Zhou Bian couldn't help but pause, but then the man's shout came from his ears, "Little boy, would you like to drink with you?" ā
Zhou Bian was everywhere, there were only a dozen or so people in the aisle, and it seemed that he was the only one who could be called a little boy, so he turned his head and pointed at the man suspiciously, only to see that the man was looking at himself, nodded after a slight smile, and shook the wine jug in his hand, as if inviting friends to the bold grassland people.
In fact, looking at this man's demeanor, Zhou Bian also had the heart of friendship at this time, but he turned his head to look at the natural man who accompanied him, and the guy was also clever, and said softly, "Childe, this person is called Bai Gongzi, he has been here many times, almost every time he comes alone, and every time he has to open the door of the small room by the aisle, the little ones also feel strange, so they remember it very clearly." ā
Looking back at the white boy, I saw that he was still smiling and kind, and it made people feel good. After making up his mind, Chong Zhou nodded slightly, and the latter immediately nodded in understanding. So Zhou Bian only took Fan Yu into the small room, and after saluting, he sat down opposite the white boy.
I watched a guy cautiously come in and add a set of utensils, and gently closed the door when he went out. Bai Gongzi smiled and said, "The little boy is invited, the next surname is Bai Mingdan, the word Gui, it is this Luoyang person, but I don't know what the little boy is called, where is the fairy town?" ā
"The wandering people of the Lu country, if you don't mention your name, Bai Gongzi can be called a certain son." The Taishi instructed Zhou Bian not to claim to be under any identity at any time, so Zhou Bian kept saying that it was so-and-so when he was in micro-service.
"Xian Gongzi is really a careful person, although he only brought one entourage in, but there were at least two people guarding the door."
Zhou Bian looked back, at this time it was popular to use Bo Juan as the door, and at this time he saw two figures at the door, and he didn't know how to hide on both sides of the door, it seems that he should pay more attention to these small details in the future. Zhou Bian smiled and said, "It's all some followers, Bai Gongzi doesn't have to mind." ā
"But Gongzi's subordinates are also stable people, not long after Gongzi came in, I heard the sound of footsteps in the small rooms on the left and right, presumably it is also Gongzi's entourage, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Bian suddenly wondered how this person could observe so carefully. After Fang Cai carefully signaled, the latter naturally wanted to arrange for the guards to protect on both sides, but it still aroused the suspicion of this person.
Zhou Bian didn't know what to say for a while, but he saw the white boy pick up a small wine cup, take a sip of wine, and after taking a breath, he exclaimed, "It's a good wine, but it's a pity that I can't find it anywhere else." After that, he smiled at Zhou Bian again, "The guy who came in just now was also arranged by Gongzi's subordinates, looking down, his eyes were calm, his steps were dignified, and he must also be a person who practiced martial arts." ā
There was a soft snap, but it was Zhou Bian who put down the wine cup in his hand and stared straight at the person in front of him. Fan Yu had been listening to the two of them, and at this time he also put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the atmosphere in the room became tense for a while.
The air suddenly became heavy, and the breathing of several people seemed to be clear in their ears. But seeing that Bai Gongzi was still smiling, his expression was free, and after putting down the wine cup casually, he said with a smile, "Xian Gongzi doesn't have to be suspicious, I don't know Gongzi before, and I came alone, how can it be unfavorable to Gongzi." He is a businessman who runs outside all the year round, and now the world is restless, so he is very sensitive in Xia, and I hope that the son will not be surprised. ā
"Haha." But Zhou Bian said with a smile, this is the first time that he has been dragged away by someone as soon as they meet, so Zhou Bian is also a little unconvinced, so he uses laughter to save face. Bai Gongzi smiled, a certain family is very concerned, so the guards in this family are specially ordered to follow closely, and a certain is also a little annoying, but this guard has been ordered by the head of the family, and he is very loyal, and he is helpless. Bai Gongzi also invited Haihan. "So-and-so is the head of the family, Zhou Bian thought to himself, so this is not a lie.
Bai Gongzi took another sip of the wine glass, and then said, "When you go out, it's always not wrong to be careful. But today is really abrupt, and he boldly invited Xian Gongzi to come. But don't worry, the son is a businessman, dealing in grain and grass, and inviting the son to come is just to see that the son is young, but the walking posture is steady, and the tone of the subordinate has a maturity, quite the style of the superior, so he has the intention of making friends. ā
This Bai Gongzi finally got to the point, businessmen are profitable, so Zhou Bian smiled, "Since Bai Gongzi is in business, I would like to hear about it." ā
Sure enough, Bai Gongzi continued, "The world is bustling, and it is all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The importance of a businessman lies in the pursuit of profits, what does Childe think? ā
Zhou Bian nodded, it was true.
Bai Gongzi said, "Doing business under is different from others. Under the pursuit of the 'people abandon me to take, people take me with' business method, never follow others. After saying that, he looked at Zhou Bian, who nodded slightly, thinking that what this person said was indeed true.
Bai Gongzi said smugly, "This market situation and the harvest of the year have changed all year round, in the harvest year, in the next to buy grain, silk, lacquer, when the cocoon is formed, then sell grain, buy silk wool." If there is a good harvest in the current year and a severe drought in the next year, they will buy a large amount of grain and stock up on goods to make a profit. In the next seven or eight years of doing business in this way, there is no disadvantage. ā
"Admire, admire. Presumably Bai Gongzi is the richest man in Luoyang. Zhou Bian praised.
"Don't dare. Although he is not the richest man in Luoyang, even if he is, I am afraid that he will have to give way soon. Baekyu laughed to himself.
"Why is that?" Zhou Bian didn't think about it for a while.
"I just talked about being invincible, that is in the past, just after the beginning of the year, I lost two in the next."
Zhou Bian was puzzled and asked, "Isn't the weather forecast wrong this year?" ā
Bai Gui shook his head and said, "These two times are not Tianwei, but man-made. Last year, the rice in the warehouse was sold short, and this year's rice has risen sharply, do you know why? ā
This is what I did, of course I know, Zhou Bian nodded.
Bai Gui said again, "The first time I confessed it, but the second time I came again, after I ordered to buy rice in other countries, but not long ago, the wheat rose sharply. ā
Zhou Bian couldn't help but blush, alas, his heart was written on his face, which was really a taboo for the superiors, and he still needed to practice his own qi cultivation kung fu. couldn't figure out Bai Gui's intention for a while, so Zhou Bian had to harden his tone and said, "Bai Gongzi came to a certain place today, is that what he said?" But I don't know why I invited someone to come? ā
Bai Gui smiled, "These things have a lot to do with Childe, and I have been waiting for Childe here for a few days." Hsien is the real owner of this hotel, isn't he? I came here on the first day of opening, and your sake is really good. As he spoke, he took another sip of his glass.
Zhou Bian was shocked, his body involuntarily straightened, and Fan Yu put his hand on the hilt of the sword again, there are not many people who need to know the real boss behind the hotel.
Bai Gui didn't see it, and then said, "I was born in Luoyang, and I recognized the shopkeeper here many years ago, and I knew that he couldn't make these many things, stir-fried vegetables, noodles, and wine, what kind of people can make this?" I was curious, so I often came to this natural house. Until one day, a few idlers in the south of the city came to make trouble, and Zihei came forward to deal with it, but after Xian Gongzi came out, Zi Hei fell on Xian Gongzi several times. I also know countless people in the next place, and I don't know how to see this, but I don't know that Gongzi is the boss behind this natural house. ā
Zhou Bian's back was a little wet when he heard it, it seems that he is still too high-profile, if someone has a heart in his eyes, but it is as open to others to watch, it is okay to do business now, if he does something big in the future, but someone finds out, it will not be good. But fortunately, I listened to this Bai Gui's tone, but I didn't know the relationship between this natural residence and the royal family.
"In fact, it is not determined by this time, but also observed for many days, and saw that every time Childe goes in and out, he does not come to eat, but goes straight to the inner courtyard, this natural residence has not received guests, but why does Childe enter the inner courtyard, and every time the guys in the hotel look at Childe respectfully, this look is not the kind of respect that the people are purely subordinate to the master, but with a kind of heartfelt worship, worship, well, or worship. I was also skeptical at the beginning, but after observing for many days, I had to trust my own judgment, and I dared to guess that this magical stir-fried noodles and shochu were made by the son, if not, how could a little boy let the next person look at it with such eyes? I don't know if this guess is right or not? ā
Hearing Bai Gui's words, Zhou Bian only felt a chill in his back, and in front of this person, he actually felt a strong pressure and wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't speak for a while. I was speechless, neither admitting nor denying it.
"Hehe, don't panic, there is no malice in the next, and it is not boasting in the next, there is no second person in this Luoyang City, who observes so carefully as in the next, there is no second person, and he knows that the son does not like it, so naturally he will not go out and talk nonsense, please rest assured that the son is."
At this time, the two of them looked at each other in this small room, one of the older people smiled as if they were doing a fun game, and the other young person had a heavy face like an adult.
