Chapter 207: Sha Mao's Gift (I)
"See me?" Shi Chongjun was a little hesitant, and looked at the housekeeper hesitantly, hoping that the housekeeper could give him some ideas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This made him quite embarrassed.
After all, the historian is of a different race, although he did receive some gifts in the past few days, which is a very large amount in his opinion, but it is only for the historian.
In fact, as a foreign family, the Shi family's life is not easy, not only can they only stay in Fengzhou stupidly and dare not run around, but they are often squeezed out by other colleagues, especially because after the White Horse Alliance, although the situation is better, but in fact, this exclusion has become isolation.
You know, isolation is not like exclusion, if you are excluded, more or less people can still say a few words to you, although it will put a little pressure on you when it is beneficial, but it will not give you nothing.
But isolation is different, isolation is that everyone doesn't play with you anymore, let you play alone, since you are not in the same circle, whether it is news or wealth, then you will not have your share.
Therefore, it is this kind of isolation that makes the historian financially a little strained, and as a state prince, a Turkic state prince, he can't do anything like a traitor, so it is even more difficult.
It is for various reasons that when Shi Chongjun heard that some businessmen wanted to see him, he knew very well that it must be these businessmen who wanted to open the trade route of Fengzhou through themselves, of course, the key to knocking on the door of the trade route was the so-called gift.
If it was an ordinary noble, he would definitely disdain it, and it would be a terrible thing to send a butler to talk about at most, but Shi Chongjun was very interested and wanted to know what kind of gifts these businessmen could bring to him.
So Shi Chongjun motioned to the housekeeper to bring the merchant to the study.
After a while, a fat man with a big belly and a beard came to the study with a smile on his face.
"Little Shamao has seen the little grandfather!" As soon as the fat man entered the door, he bowed down.
Seeing that Shang Jia was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he actually paid homage to himself with a big gift, and he was more or less unhappy in his heart, and was immediately left behind by Shi Chongjun.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks already have a deep hatred, since the merchant can meet him like this, there is no doubt that in his opinion, the merchant in front of him must be a pure merchant, and he is still a big merchant.
For only pure businessmen can throw away all races, regions and nations, because there is only one word in their eyes, and that is money.
With money, they can sell everything, including their personalities!
Therefore, Shi Chongjun immediately smiled when he looked at the fat businessman, if such a businessman entered Fengzhou to do business, then as the number one family in Fengzhou, the Shi family would inevitably benefit endlessly.
"Well said, well said!" At that moment, Shi Chongjun smiled and said, "I just heard from the housekeeper that you have something to see me, I don't know what the matter is?" ”
Speaking of things, the fat businessman's face became a little embarrassed, he pinched it, and then took out a small box from his arms, and then looked at the housekeeper on the side, and then carefully presented it to Shi Chongjun with both hands, and said: "Little grandfather, the little one came to you naturally to celebrate your promotion and fortune, little care, I hope you don't shirk it!" ”
After speaking, he waited for Shi Chongjun's reaction.
A little careful?
Shi Chongjun made a calm look on his face, but he was already smiling in his heart.
If you are really careful, is this fat man embarrassed to take out his hand?
Although the cloud is light and light, Shi Chongjun's hand couldn't help but be surprised when it touched the small box.
Because this palm-sized small box actually weighed one or two pounds, the feeling of falling his hand made his heart bloom with joy.
Intellectually speaking, it goes without saying that there must be gold and silver or something like this, of course, copper coins are simply impossible, and judging from the fact that this gorgeous sandalwood box is worth at least two dollars, it is impossible if it is really used to hold copper coins.
But if it's just silver, it's not possible!
Although the silver is also relatively valuable, in fact, with such a little silver, it is worth dozens of dollars at best, not to mention other nobles, even he Shi Chongjun can't look down on it.
A businessman, a successful businessman, naturally knows very well the value of opening a trade route, so it is impossible to take out tens of thousands of dollars, so Shi Chongjun believes that in this small box in his hand, there must be a whole box of gold, and only gold can be worthy of his dignified little grandfather Dou Guogong, who should be personally received by the quasi-concubine.
If so, it was expected that the box was filled with gold, and Shi Chongjun's originally stiff face immediately showed a kind smile.
"What's so embarrassing?" Shi Chongjun was a little embarrassed and said: "The so-called uselessness is not rewarded, so it really makes me feel inappropriate!" ”
As a nobleman, Shi Chongjun felt that he still needed to be a little reserved, although he had long wanted to open the box in his heart, but his education as a nobleman made him still push it according to his patience and urgency.
"Little grandfather, where are you talking about this? Sha really admires the little grandfather, and he wants a friend, so why talk about breaking the bank? Sha Mao immediately said with righteous words on his face: "It's just a yellow and white thing, it must be just a pile of dung in front of the little grandfather!" ”
While speaking, Sha Mao looked at Shi Chongjun's face again, and saw that he did not show any signs of seizures, so he continued: "To be honest, the little poor ones only have money left, if the little grandfather needs it, just report the number of people to the mansion to inform him, and if the surname Sha is not for the little grandfather, I will not be surnamed Sha!" It's just that.... Just ....."
Watching Sha Mao's performance, Shi Chongjun wanted to laugh very much.
Sure enough, this guy's fox tail was still exposed.
Saying that money is like dung, and what is yellow and white is all special saliva! After going around and around, don't you want to help him in the end?
But since he needs to help with the errands, then the money can be collected.
As a nobleman, although he has broken away from the noble group, Shi Chongjun still knows a truth very well.
That is, it is impossible for these businessmen to ask one person to do what he can't do. That is to say, if the businessman asks you to do something, it is definitely within your authority, and it should be at least seventy percent sure that they will pay a lot of money for help.
After all, doing business also requires costs and benefits, and if you really want to lose money, who would spend a lot of money to do thankless things? If you offend other people's nobles because of this, isn't that looking for death?
