Chapter XXIII Business Negotiations for Banquets

Early in the morning of the second day, with the rain and dew in the early morning, Zhao Dezhao was relaxed and turned around. Dressed in dirty clothes, I walked through the hall and went to the backyard, and after a set of boxing techniques, my mind was good, and all my fatigue was dissolved.

After bathing and changing, he walked into the study, contemplated for a moment, and wrote down the plan in one go. At the beginning, it was only a rough plan, but now this one is more detailed.

Immediately afterwards, he drew another gourd and transcribed a copy, and the transcription was intended to be shown to his father-in-law. Zhao Dezhao was very satisfied, dried the ink on the paper with a breath, put it in the cuffs, got on the donkey cart first, and went to the Liangcheng Inn in the north of the city.

Yang Meng had just gotten up, and yesterday he was drenched in the rain in front of the broken temple, and today he felt a little itchy in his throat, and his face didn't look very good, and his spirit was a little tired.

Zhao Dezhao stepped into the inn and arrived at the door of Yang Meng's room, and immediately knocked a few times.

"Who?" Yang Meng woke up from the bed, with heavy bags under his eyes, unconscious, and coughed.

When Zhao Dezhao heard Yang Meng's cough, he knocked on the door, walked in at once, and said, "Father-in-law, it's me, Zhao'er!" What's wrong with you, father-in-law? ”

"Zhao'er, what's going on today? Father-in-law, I occasionally felt a cold yesterday, so I kept coughing! Yang Meng sat up from the bed, supporting his body with his hands, looking weak.

"The appearance of the stepfather, Zhao'er is so worried about it, why don't Zhao'er find a Langzhong for the stepfather!" Speaking of Langzhong, in recent days, Zhao Dezhao hasn't been to see Liu Han for a long time, and I don't know how he is.

"Zhao'er, it's okay, it's just an ordinary wind chill!" Yang Meng still has a tendency to cough constantly, getting worse and worse.

Zhao Dezhao complained: "Father-in-law, let's let Lang Zhong take a look, by the way, I happen to know a famous doctor here, his medical skills are very good, and Zhao'er still knows him." ”

Meng was very glad that he was able to recognize such a righteous son in his old age, and he smiled: "Uh...... Zhao'er cared so much, and her father-in-law was really happy. ”

Immediately, Zhao Dezhao found Wan Song and asked him to find Liu Han and help Yang Meng take a look at his body.

Yang Meng knew that this problem fell after falling into the water that year, and it had been with him for many years, so it was an old problem, and many famous doctors were invited to no effect.

Liu Han came in, checked his pulse for a while, and then his face didn't look very good.

"Brother Zhao, it's still convenient to go out and talk." Liu Han said.

Zhao Dezhao closed the door, heard Liu Han shake his head, and said: "The patient has recently entered the body with wind evil, and has old diseases, and now it is very tricky, so he can only slowly adjust his body." Oh, you have to give your stepfather a good rest. ”

"Well, okay!"

Zhao Dezhao saw that his father-in-law was seriously ill, and after Liu Han saw the doctor, he nagged for a while, told Yang Meng to have a good rest, and then said goodbye and returned to the Chengnan Restaurant. The restaurant was taken care of by Zhao Dezhao during this time, and Bai Gucheng was on the way to Kaifeng at this time.

……

Last night, Bai Gucheng stayed in Yang Ningshi's old house in Luoyang, and he was alone, visiting several famous restaurant merchants in Luoyang City.

Walking on the streets of Luoyang, Bai Gucheng saw Zhou Jun lined up, the long dragon was gone, and a young man in dragon scale armor was riding on horseback, looking at the people on both sides of the street.

This person is Guo Rong of the Great Zhou, and the people on both sides of the street are watching this Son of Heaven who has just ascended the throne of Zhou Guo.

"This is the Holy One today! It's so young! Bai Gucheng sighed, the current lord of Wu Yueguo is a lord of debauchery, and sooner or later he will die in the country, so he left Hangzhou, took his father's will, went to Kaifeng to meet Yang Ningshi, and now he helps Zhao Dezhao take care of the restaurant.

The army entered the inner city, the honor guards on both sides of the street began to disperse, and Guo Rong, the son of heaven, led the forbidden army into Luoyang Palace.

Luoyang has been the top priority of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times

Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, in the post-Tang Dynasty, Luoyang was the imperial capital, so the imperial palace was retained, although later Luoyang was not the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but its status was the Xijing of the Zhou State, under the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.

At this moment, Luoyang City is preparing to welcome the Zhou Emperor Guo Rong's rest, and on that day, the army entered from the West Gate, and Guo Rong lived in the old palace city. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Kuangyin saw Luoyang again and felt very cordial. He was born in Luoyang Jiamaying since he was a child, and lived in Luoyang for a long time, so his feelings for Luoyang are very deep.

That night, today he deliberately stopped by and went back to the old house of Zhaofu, there were several old servants in the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin stayed for one night, and went to Tokyo with the emperor's army early the next morning.

At night, the heat wave above Luoyang City had faded, and Bai Gucheng got into a carriage and rushed to the place of the banquet.

That night, Bai Gucheng opened two tables of dishes in Luoyang's Tongxi Building, and invited several businessmen who opened restaurants, and then solemnly and straight to the point, telling them all the words of the owner of Kaifeng Guangwei Building, among which the businessmen's performance was quite surprised, because the business situation of the restaurants in Luoyang City has not been very good recently.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, with the transfer of the political center, Luoyang's status has plummeted and it has become the accompanying capital, the reason is that the river of Luoyang has been blocked many times, and the dredging of the river will cost more manpower, powerlessness and financial resources, so it is only as the Xijing accompanying capital of the Zhou State. And as a business, he is not as prosperous as Kaifeng, in the five dynasties there are four dynasties to Kaifeng, through the Kanto land, since then, Kaifeng leapt over Luoyang, become the center of gravity of the country.

But doing business is not achieved overnight, Chinese have always liked to talk about business things at the wine table since ancient times, a few glasses of wine under the stomach, originally enemies to meet, and then to enmity.

Naturally, at this moment, on the wine table, seeing the various expressions of these businessmen, Bai Gucheng pretended to be calm on his face, but there were huge waves in his heart, when he left Kaifeng, Zhao Dezhao once said to himself that the next step of Guangweilou is to open the restaurant branch in Luoyang, and Luoyang is Zhao Dezhao's hometown, and Bai Gucheng also knows the importance of Luoyang.

It's just that Luoyang has not yet had a foundation, so I plan to invite the parties of several restaurants to come out and talk about business cooperation.

These businessmen have multiple thoughts at the moment, and it is best to strive for the greatest benefits, so that their restaurant business will be prosperous and their wealth will be extensive. Bai Gucheng's family is the leading business leader in Jiangnan, but these people in front of them don't know Bai Gucheng's identity, so they rely on their old age and rich experience, relying on the old and selling the old. Want to get a piece of the pie off the table.

But Bai Gucheng couldn't be pinched, he immediately revealed his identity, and as the general manager of Tokyo Guangwei Group, he has a certain amount of adjudication power, and he can modify the rules set by Zhao Dezhao at any time, and then discuss it with Chairman Zhao Dezhao.

"It turned out to be the head of the Bai family in Jiangnan, disrespectful and disrespectful!" When the Luoyang businessmen at the table heard about Bai Gucheng's identity, they all took the wine and stood up one by one, which should be an atonement.

Bai Gucheng knows the way of business, so he also holds a wine glass in his hand, and when he returns to these businessmen, he said: "The kid is just relying on the prestige of the Bai family, coming out to mix with the world, if it is rude, please forgive the bosses!" ”

"Bai Xian's nephew, I had a relationship with your grandfather, he took care of my business back then, Lin didn't know the identity of Bai Xian's nephew, so he had a verbal conflict and offended."

"Uncle Lin, you don't have to be polite, the kid is a junior, just now he was straightforward and quick-witted, and he also made amends to Uncle Lin." Bai Gucheng bowed.

"Hehe, the virtuous nephew is polite! If there is something to help your uncle in the future, come to Tianxianglou to find your uncle, no one in Luoyang City knows, no one knows, this Tianxianglou is opened in the south of my Lin Town. ”

"If it's a kid, if you want to solve something with your uncle in the future, you will go to Tianxianglou to disturb your uncle."

Lin Zhennan stroked his beard, smiled, and then sat down in his seat.

"......" The rest of the businessmen present saw that the owner of Tianxianglou was close to the owner of the Bai family in Jiangnan, neither standing nor sitting, sitting awkwardly at the wine table, not knowing how to speak, just a few people were not thinking about it, and they were all eager to go up to Bai Gucheng at this moment.

Bai Gucheng pretended to pick up the cup in his hand and blocked it with his long sleeves, so that people couldn't see the smile on his face. In fact. The businessman boss of Luoyang City has long inquired clearly, these people are twisted into a rope on the surface, but behind them is a plate of loose sand, when he feasted these bosses today, he had already been to Tianxianglou, so this play was directed with Boss Lin.

Speaking of singing, thanks to Zhao Dezhao's thoughts, Bai Gucheng thought in his heart that this kid really admired him more and more.

"Bosses sitting here, although I am a member of the Bai family, but I will never rely on my own identity, and do anything that harms the interests of the Bai family, now I am just a logical manager of Guangwei Group, and the trust of Chairman Zhao can become the general manager of Guangwei Group.

"Bai Dongjia, we want to know how the Guangwei Group distributes its own interests, and none of us here want to make a loss-making transaction!"

"This boss is right, but our Guangwei Group will never hurt the hotels that join it." Bai Gucheng said, and then he asked the servant to take out the basic books about Guangwei Group from the carriage, which recorded in detail the business philosophy and methods of Guangwei Building.

All the bosses present took the books from the servants' hands and read them carefully, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning.

Bai Gucheng knew that they couldn't understand some of the truths and business methods in the book, so he said: "Bosses, if you have any questions, you can ask me now, and I will answer them for you one by one!" ”

Several bosses raised a few seemingly difficult questions one after another, but Bai Gucheng's explanation made them clear about the operation of Guangwei Group, and they were also very interested in this method.

Bai Gucheng said with a smile: "Bosses, today is just to let everyone come out to talk about the business alliance, today is not necessary to respond very quickly for the time being, we are still here tomorrow, today is not early, you are embarrassed, let everyone come here to listen to the juniors discuss business." Tomorrow all the bosses, see you or leave! ”

"Bai Dongjia, see you tomorrow!"

The next night, in the same place, some bosses happily agreed to the business alliance and officially became a restaurant branch under the Guangwei Group.

The rest of the watchers sat still, silent.

Bai Gucheng still has some gains today, and there are a few restaurants that want to join Guangwei Group for the time being, so this trip to Luoyang is still a little worthwhile.

Bai Gucheng took the contracts of these restaurants, and planned to leave tomorrow, return to Kaifeng, and explain the matter.
