In any business competition, as long as you do not hesitate to lose money, you are invincible.

Fei Zhong's offer to Lutai is 16 million yuan, this price is more conscientious, and the profit is already very thin, basically mainly to earn a good reputation, and at the same time leave a good impression in front of the king of Shang.

But the next day, Chonghou Hu quoted a new price, 13 million, and if he did it like this, he would basically have to pay more than 1 million. But after discussing with the king of Shang, the answer he gave was..... Refused.

The king of Shang is not stupid, the wool is out of the sheep, in case Chonghou Hu cut corners in the process of building Lutai in order to save money, it will be more than worth the loss. Lutai was to be used to entertain Lishan's mother and Nuwa Niangniang, originally to make amends, if there was any quality accident, and then scare the two immortals out of what was wrong, Chonghou Hu was not angry.

In the final analysis, it is Chonghou Hu's reputation that stinks.

Later, when the matter came out, Fei Zhong was also interested, and the quotation was reduced by one million, fifteen million, which was purely for nothing, but as long as he was appreciated by the king of Shang, the benefits would naturally be many in the future.

I thought that Chonghou Hu would be able to stop, but who knew that the next day, he found Jizi again and put forward a new offer, 10 million, and the payment could be deferred, and then pay after Lutai passed the acceptance.

At this moment, the king of Shang and Jizi couldn't bear it, and Fei Zhong couldn't bear it either, this was not doing business at all, but doing good, how much burden could it help the court to reduce, no one could bear it.

Three days later, the king of Shang finally issued an order, and the Lutai project was built by Beibohou Chonghou Hu.

The matter finally landed, but at this time, Hu Jiaomei and Hu Ximei didn't care about celebrating at all, they still needed to run for another thing, that is, to raise money.

It's so cool to smash people with money, but when it's time to pay the bill, you can only suffer yourself.

Beibohou Chonghou Hu, although he is one of the four princes, is undoubtedly the poorest one, not only poor, but also poor.

The princes made money mainly by two ways.

The first is to rely on the taxation of one's own territory, if you want to get rich by this road, you need a very high degree of internal management ability, such as Xibo Hou Jichang, is a leader in this category.

The second way is to rely on bullying the small princes around them, collecting some protection fees from time to time, it is difficult to get rich, and it is necessary to increase a lot of military expenditures, but it can maintain a well-off level, this kind of princes, the representative figure is the Southern Bohou Chongyu of the year, and the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu seven years ago of Emperor Xin.

Of course, similar to Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, the first and second roads are doing well, and even developed the third road by themselves, and hit the idea of the salt tax of the imperial court, it must be rich, but the risk is very high, once it is smashed, it will be the end of the whole house.

This is not a conventional method, and the average person will not consider it.

Chonghou Hu is extremely poor and extravagant, and his management ability is extremely poor, and his good Chongcheng has made the people miserable, and he basically can't collect much money in the territory.

In the past, he could still oppress the small princes, but since the seventh year of Emperor Xin, the 50,000 army he led was defeated by the 10,000 army of Hou Suhu of Jizhou, all the princes have seen the essence of his external strength and middle cadre, and his deterrence is close to zero.

Today's Chonghou Hu, Mo said that compared with the other three princes, it is far inferior to Jizhou Hou Suhu, Mo said that he took out 15 million money, that is, 2 million money, and he had to pick it out from between his teeth.

Since Chonghou Hu can't count on it, this task of raising money can only fall on Hu Jiaomei and Hu Ximei again.

The two of them are little character monsters, where did they get so much money, there is no doubt that at this time, gnawing the old is the last word, so Hu Ximei once again brought the request for money back to Xuanyuan Tomb.

Qingqiu Ancestor saw that Hu Ximei actually opened his mouth to ask for fifteen million, and he was almost so angry that he vomited blood, the Qingqiu family has been operating for many years, but they only have 12 million savings, and it took 8 million to make Jiuding before, and now there are only 4 million left to live, even if he is skinned alive, he can't take out so much money.

He told Hu Ximei about the current situation in the clan, and then made it clear that there was indeed no money, and let them figure out a way by themselves.

Hu Ximei is a real person, and as soon as she had an idea, she came up with an idea, since it was Nuwa Niangniang's task, then she couldn't leave it alone, let Qingqiu Ancestor go and beg Nuwa Niangniang to think of a way.

When Qingqiu Ancestor heard this, he was so angry that he almost bit Hu Ximei to death.

This child is so sincere, Niangniang handed over the matter to the Qingqiu clan to give the clan a chance, and what the clan has to do is to do things well, and then go to Niangniang to ask for credit and complain. Now the task is not a word, go to Nuwa Niangniang to ask for money, do you guess Nuwa Niangniang will ignore you? This is also looking for Niangniang, then also looking for Niangniang, what is the use of asking you? Shameless to face, isn't it?

Hu Ximei returned to the palace with a sad face and told Hu Jiaomei what the ancestor meant. Hu Jiaomei was also a little helpless, but now that the holy decree has been issued, she has to do it or not, and after thinking hard for three days, she finally came up with a good way again, so that Hu Ximei brought the news back to Xuanyuan Tomb.

When Qingqiu Ancestor heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth and was overjoyed, and even agreed to follow Hu Jiaomei's method.

In fact, this method, although simple, but quite cross-generational, in the current words to sum up, is two words: crowdfunding.

Nuwa Niangniang is the god of the entire demon clan, but not the god of my Qingqiu family, now doing things for Niangniang, can I not pay for my Qingqiu family, the demon clan in the world, everyone has a share.

Now the time is urgent, the demon clan in the world is too late, but there are at least more than 100 demon clans within a radius of 300 miles near Chaoge, and there are more than 30 rich and powerful families.

So, Qingqiu Ancestor found all the second-generation disciples, and all of them were assigned, and they went from house to house.

It took half a month for them to make up more than 30 million dollars, not only to make up for the shortfall, but also to make a net profit of nearly 10 million, this business is faster than selling antiques to make money.

However, they made a fuss this time, making the demons in a radius of 300 miles from Chaoge boring, complaining, and later someone made trouble to Nuwa Niangniang, Niangniang pinched her fingers, and she already knew the reason for the matter.

But what can she say about this kind of thing? How can there be such a good thing if she wants the horses to run fast and the horses not to eat grass? In the end, she only suppressed these complaining voices, secretly warned the Qingqiu Ancestor, and then stopped it.

Okay, now that the money is in place, Lutai can finally start work, right?

Don't worry, where is this, there is one last problem waiting for Hu Yumei to solve.

As I said before, this kind of building in Lutai belongs to a super high-rise, and this kind of thing is quite technical, and this kind of thing definitely requires a large number of professional and technical personnel. This kind of talent, Chaoge must have it, Donglu may have it, and Xiqi may have it, but he definitely doesn't have it in Chongcheng in Beibohou.

Chonghou Hu wants to hire people from Chaoge, but the problem is that such talents are all begging for a living under the hands of Dr. Fei Zhong Fei all the year round, Chonghou Hu is such a vicious competition, and he just robbed Dr. Fei's project, do you guess these people are willing to cut off their future life in order to earn Chonghou Hu's money?

Helpless, Chonghou Hu had to find Fei Zhong in person and compensate him for a "mediation fee" of 800,000 yuan, so he reluctantly invited someone from Fei Zhong.

Finally, to do engineering, it is not enough to have skilled workers, but also a large number of ordinary workers.

In this era, there are two ways to find workers. The first way was to find a nearby local official to recruit people's husbands, but Chonghou Hu had a bad reputation, and the local officials were unwilling to buy his account. The second way is to go to Fei Zhong, he has a large number of mature workers in his hands, which is the person of Master Fei......

Forget it, what is the first solution? I'd rather go to the local officials and spend some money than go to Fei Zhong to find anger.

In this way, a little east and west, when Lutai started, Hu Jiaomei and Hu Ximei suddenly discovered that the fifteen million they had planned before was Fei Zhong's money for repairing Lutai, and Chonghou Hu was afraid that 18 million would be enough for him.

But fortunately, there are still 10 million more looted from Xuanyuan Tomb, and it is not that it cannot be wasted.

So, Hu Jiaomei and Hu Ximei, they helped Chonghou Hu to build Lutai in the palace with peace of mind, in order to ensure that the task was foolproof, they planned well, and when Lutai was completed, it was the day they stole Jiuding. The specific time depends on the speed of Chonghou Hu's construction of Lutai.

Kwafu Island.

It has been six or seven days since Huang Xue came to the island, and during this time, her and Long Xuhu's injuries have basically healed, but she is not in a hurry to leave, the Cloud Piercing Arrow is still exaggerating in her hand, and she is reluctant to leave. So, she took the dragon and the tiger and walked around with the exaggeration a lot every day, and her life was comfortable.

On this morning, she and Long Xuhu had just gotten up and were having breakfast, when they suddenly came to her exaggeratedly, saying that the patriarch had exaggerated their invitation. Huang Xue looked at the exaggerated face and was a little depressed, so she said strangely: "Brother Kua, why do you seem to be in a bad mood today?"

exaggerated sighed: "It's all your troubles that day, today you are afraid that you are guilty, and I will suffer with you." ”

Huang Xue was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Kua, what is the matter, you should tell me first." ”

exaggerated helplessly: "It's about art, I can't tell you the specifics, you can make it clear if you follow me." ”

Long Xuhu listened to it in a daze, and thought that Huang Xue would be in danger, so he hurriedly said: "Then I will go with you too, I want to protect Huang Xue." ”

Exaggerated and weakly said: "Go, go, the more people go, the happier the old man will be, I'm afraid you will regret it." ”

Huang Xue realized something, so she didn't ask any more, took the dragon and the tiger, and followed the exaggerated straight to the exaggerated residence.
