Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan led Li Qinghan's three daughters to visit Zhang's house, and proposed to Zhang Tianhao the idea of sending "wild landscapes" to other parts of the country for sale

++++++++++++++++++++ Zhang Tianhao's eyebrows moved slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Ma Xiaoquan, and said slowly: "Why did Lord Deacon suddenly have such an idea?" Does the deacon also want to be in the water business? ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No, no, no, this deacon doesn't want to grab business with the Zhang family, on the contrary, this deacon wants to cooperate with the Zhang family."

"Cooperation? What is the cooperation law? ”

Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "Master Zhang, as far as I know, your 'wild landscape' sells well in Beijing, but in other places of the Ming Dynasty, there is no market, Master Zhang, I'm right, right?" ”

Zhang Tianhao was silent, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Lord Deacon, it seems that you have investigated this matter clearly~"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Master Zhang, although your Zhang family is not short of money, no one will think that there is less money, more money, the better." ”

"Ma Xiaoquan, what do you mean?" Behind Zhang Tianhao, Zhang Jing interjected and asked.

Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Zhang Jing and said: "Miss Zhang's question must also be the meaning of the Zhang family, well~ It's very simple, my Ma family has some small ways to help the Zhang family open the market outside Beijing, we cooperate, I will be the first-level agent of the Zhang family's 'wild landscape' to help you sell, and the Zhang family, you can sit back and enjoy the money, how about it, Zhang family master?" ”

"Tier 1 agent? What is it? Zhang Tianhao was a little puzzled.

"To put it simply, I don't have anything, but I have channels, and I also know how to distribute, the Zhang family owner sells the 'wild landscape' to me at a price lower than the market price, higher than the cost price, and I sell it to others at a price higher than the price Zhang family owner gives me, so that they can help sell, of course, other people also have the right to become agents, but the level is definitely lower than mine, level by level, so that everyone has money to earn"

"Oh? First-level agent, well, this is a good idea" Listening to Ma Xiaoquan's explanation, Zhang Tianhao was tempted.

"Daddy~" Zhang Jing leaned into Zhang Tianhao's ear and whispered, "That Ma Xiaoquan is extremely deceitful, we have to be careful~ Our Zhang family is not short of money, who to cooperate with, and should not cooperate with him?" ”

Zhang Tianhao nodded and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Deacon, is there a reason why you suddenly proposed to cooperate with me?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, with a sincere look on his face: "I can't hide it, my father (Ma Ruiqing) and his brother (Ma Yuan, Ma Cheng) are far away in Ningyuan, and there have been frequent wars in Ningyuan recently, and the demand for military salaries and ordnance has increased, and the appropriation of the imperial court is either not enough, or it is not in place, so I can only pay out of my own pocket to help my father and brother and the officers and soldiers of Ningyuan buy ordnance and pay for food."

Ma Xiaoquan said it very sincerely, and what he said was also true.

Zhang Tianhao is a well-known businessman in Beijing, with many eyes and ears, and he also knows that the Ma family is in Ningyuan except for the fourth son, Ma Xiaoquan.

"So, the deacon is short of money?" Zhang Tianhao seemed a little proud.

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Although the income of my heavenly and earthly clubhouse and merchant gathering place is not bad, it is far from enough compared to the needs of my father and brother. Master Zhang, if the Jurchen really has to call, I think even if we have thousands of family fortunes, we can't resist the coaxing of others all night~ If the country is in trouble, we should help us. ”

Ma Xiaoquan said it very sensationally, but in Zhang Tianhao's heart, he didn't care.

Zhang Tianhao is a businessman, businessmen chase the maximization of interests, they don't care who is the emperor at all, the Zhang family has been through ups and downs from the end of the Han Dynasty to the present for more than a thousand years, and has already had a set of ways to escape from the world, but Ma Xiaoquan said it to his face, Zhang Tianhao is not easy to refuse, so he can only nod and pretend.

"Well, let me think about it~" Zhang Tianhao did not immediately agree to Ma Xiaoquan, but snorted.

Ma Xiaoquan is not hypocritical, he knows that with Zhang Tianhao's thoughts, it must be unrealistic to agree immediately, and what Zhang Jing said in his father's ear just now is likely to be negative words that are not good for him.

"Since the Zhang family is mainly considering, then I'll wait, so let's go to the Zhang family, two days, two days later, give me an answer, if the Zhang family master doesn't agree, then I can only find someone else to cooperate."

After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan stood up first and arched his hand at Zhang Tianhao.

As soon as Ma Xiaoquan stood up, Li Qinghan's three daughters also stood up.

"Wait!" Zhang Tianhao said suddenly, "What do you mean by this, Lord Deacon?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan turned his head and shrugged his shoulders: "There is no other meaning, I see that the head of the Zhang family is not very happy to cooperate with me, so I can only find others to cooperate, but the head of the Zhang family can rest assured, we will not do any water business" After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan led Li Qinghan's three daughters away without looking back

"Huh, what? What's so bullish, Dad, look at Ma Xiaoquan like that, come here, what are you doing with those three women? Zhang Jing stomped her feet angrily and grumbled.

"Enough!" Zhang Tianhao suddenly roared, "Haven't you made enough trouble?" Go back to the house! ”

"Hmph~" Zhang Jing was reprimanded, and she didn't dare to say more, so she could only snort coldly and leave in a huff.

Zhang Tianhao sat down slowly, picked up the fragrant tea on the table, and tasted it carefully

At night, Li Qinghan looked for Ma Xiaoquan and said worriedly: "Ma Xiaoquan, Zhang Tianhao doesn't seem to want to cooperate with you?" What to do? ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Don't worry, Qinghan, I talked to Zhang Tianhao for two days, and I dare to say that within two days, he Zhang Tianhao will definitely come to me again." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, Qing Han, you just wait to see a good show, oh yes, tell your subordinates to make a gold leaf card of the heavenly and earthly club overnight, well, engrave Zhang Tianhao's name!"

"Good~"

At noon on the second day, Ma Xiaoquan received an invitation from Zhang Tianhao, saying that he wanted to talk to him alone.

At this time, Ma Xiaoquan was eating, and as soon as he heard Zhang Tianhao's invitation, he immediately put down his rice bowl.

"Quan'er, let's finish the meal and then go?" Mrs. Ma persuaded.

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Grandma, I didn't say I was going now, well, I have to prepare, Zhang Tianhao's guy wants me to go alone, I'm afraid he will also set up a position to scare me at the beginning." ”

Dongfang Qingxue said: "In that case, then let's go with you again, right?" ”

"Sister Qingxue, the Zhang family only invited Ma Xiaoquan to go alone~" Li Qinghan reminded.

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "You eat first, I'll prepare, by the way, fill me with rice, I'll come to eat~"

Everyone: ""
