Chapter 415: Persuasion
Looking at Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's humble and studious appearance, Xu Ji pretended to be mysterious and said: "The way of doing business is nothing more than buying low and selling high, and earning the difference from it, which is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do, but after years of research, I found that even if it is ever-changing, there must be certain rules to find and use." ”
At this time, not only Zhang Shiping, but even Xun Yu and others showed a look of attention, obviously eager to know Xu Ji's way of doing business.
Xu Ji saw that he had enough appetite, so he laughed and said: "Actually, it's simple, four words: do what you like." ”
Looking at the people who were a little puzzled, Xu Ji said with a high spirit: "We call the place where we can buy and sell the market, but in fact, the market is everywhere, people will have all kinds of needs when they live, then, people's needs are the market, before we do business, don't look at what we have in our hands, but should first look at what people need. What do you think? ”
Everyone showed admiration.
Su Shuang patted his thigh with joy and said: "Lord Sikong's words are thought-provoking, no wonder Yanzhou will become the richest man." Xu Ji smiled: "Actually, this is a simple truth, I, Xu Ji, just discovered it before ordinary people, and sooner or later others will know." ”
Zhang Shiping's eyes flashed with unprecedented brilliance, and he whispered to Xu Ji: "But how easy is it to discover this truth?" Before others find out, how much money can Sikong make? It's a huge loss to tell us two brothers today. Xu Ji and Xun Yu glanced at each other, and secretly said that they were powerful. This Zhang Shiping is cool-headed and never forgets to trade. It's really a natural businessman. At this moment, seeing Xu Ji treating the two of them so honestly, he naturally knew that he would be peached. In return, since Xu Ji is so good at business, and he told the two of them such a shrewd way of doing business, it must be very amazing to want to get the benefits from himself. Therefore, his strictness was ostensibly praising Xu Ji for being a friend, but in fact, he was really testing Xu Ji and asking Xu Ji to make conditions.
Su Shuang saw Zhang Shiping say this, and his face turned whole. He put down his glass.
The people of Yanzhou are also like this. Officialdom and business are just the opposite, and important matters in officialdom are usually discussed after a dazzling drunkenness. And businessmen never talk about friendship when they do business, let alone use alcohol to communicate. Only after the business is negotiated will the toast be raised.
Zhang Hong waved his hand to the kabuko present and asked them to go down.
These kabuko knew that these celebrities had important things to discuss, and they all stood up obediently. Swaying her beautiful buttocks, she left the room like a lamb, and the last petite girl with particularly full breasts left without forgetting to close the door, and finally smiled, making people feel at home. When Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping hadn't retracted their reluctant gazes, Xu Ji waved his hand. Behind him, several phantoms moved around the house with agility like leopards. Tapping on walls and around corners to listen is clearly a way to prevent overheard.
Two others ran out of the door and guarded them like door gods.
The atmosphere was mysterious, tense. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were a little unnatural in their doubts. When Xu Ji saw the two of them like this, he laughed in his heart and put down his wine glass. Haha smiled and said, "If I say this sentence just for the two of you for free, it would be insincere." Ultimately. There is no business, how can you invite two people to come to Chang'an just by friendship? ”
Su Shuang said indifferently: "Lord Sikong is quick to talk. Impressive. ”
Xu Ji looked at the two of them and said softly, "Before I talk about business." I have one thing to say to both of you: Doing business, everyone. It's really good. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were sometimes stunned, and Xu Ji's words sounded extremely strange. But when you think about it, it makes perfect sense.
Xu Ji said leisurely: "I am different from others, once I start a business, I am eager for quick success, thinking that my peers in the world are my enemies, and I have to crush the other party. ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping savored Xu Ji's words, and couldn't help but feel touched: "Lord Sikong's words are sobering. Xu Ji looked deeply into the eyes of the two and said sincerely: "Making money, of course, is important, but the problem is to make money, people in the world have to be rich first, if people in the world are poor, then what money do we businessmen still make?" For me, the richer the people, the richer I, the businessmen, will be, isn't this 'everyone's good, it's really good'? Killing chickens and taking eggs, drying up and fishing, is just a plan for a while, and a husband for a time is not enough to plan for eternity. ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were stunned and didn't make a sound for a long time.
They never thought about what Xu Ji said. Xu Ji smiled secretly: The win-win theory is really good.
Zhang Hong, who was sitting on the side, lit up his eyes, leaned close to Xun Yu's ear and whispered: "I finally know what it means to be a 'gentleman raising five virtues' today, I only thought that 'a gentleman with five virtues' has occupied the world, and today I know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well, I didn't expect that the lord has been planning to happen for thousands of generations, in vain I have lived so big, I really live to the belly of a dog, when I think of self-righteousness on weekdays, now I really want to jump into the sea, shameless goodbye Yanzhou father no old man." Xun Yu chuckled: "The lord has often had unexpected actions since he was a child, and now that he has more experience, his talent is naturally becoming more and more unfathomable, and Zigang does not have to be shallow, given time, you must also be the mainstay of my Yanzhou." ”
Huan Fan whispered on the side and praised: "The lord is indeed powerful, they all say that shopping malls are like battlefields, but who can use business to interpret the strategy of 'if you want to take it, you must first match it' so well?" Xun Yu sighed lightly: "The talent of the lord is as vast as a sea of smoke, and what he says is always thought-provoking, and he looks up to it, which makes me feel that Zigong sighs that Zhongni is beyond the reach of the dust." The new 'Five Virtues Always Say' is really never-ending! ”
Of course, Xu Ji heard Xun Yu's praise clearly, and secretly blamed Xun Yu in his heart, how did he learn to pat himself on the back, although he didn't like Confucius very much, but he was self-aware, if he picked up knowledge. People pluck their hair and hair thicker than their own waists.
Besides, the new "Five Virtues Say" did not come out of their own creation, and it was not themselves who proposed it. is rich in Liang Xi, who is always said. I'm really sorry. It took Su Shuang a long time to turn over and say to Xu Jiwuti: "Lord Sikong is really my brother's mentor and friend. Taught. ”
Xu Ji waved his hand and said: "Don't say these unsightly words, I said this to make the two of you understand, I, Xu Ji, sincerely want to talk about business with the two of you, and I never want to come to you to do a loss-making business, because it is not good for me." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping glanced at each other, relieved, Xu Ji said to their hearts, this time to come to Chang'an, it is somewhat risky. Of course, they were a little nervous, although it was rumored that Xu Ji was a reasonable person, but as a businessman, of course he knew this kind of trick of saying one thing and doing another. So I'm worried that Xu Ji will pay attention to them.
Zhang Hong is wandering with the two of them these days, although Zhang Hong didn't say anything, but Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are both old foxes, of course they understand that Zhang Hong has other plans. Later, I knew that Xu Ji wanted to do business with them, although I was a little relieved, but I bullied Xu Ji with a big one. Bullying. Now that Xu Ji said this, the two of them were relieved a lot. However, the two will never believe Xu Ji because of this.
When talking about business, what is important is a "sky-high asking price, and paying back the money on the ground". Everyone is a person of the Tao, and naturally understands this truth better than anyone else.
Xu Ji looked at the expressions of the two. Knowing that it was time to talk about business, he smiled and said, "The two of you should know that people are at peace now." Fought for a few years. Don't talk about other places, even Yanzhou is also sleepy. Now that the Son of Heaven is in power, my Han will soon be able to regain his strength. Therefore, what I want to do most now is not to conquer the whole country, but to restore the economy. Su Shuang said slowly: "Of course we are convinced by Da Sikong's words. Otherwise, Lord Sikong would not have called these envoys and us merchants to Chang'an. These days, Lord Xun Yu is also busy, and we naturally see it in our eyes. ”
Zhang Shiping said with a smile: "If it were in the past, some people said that Lord Sikong didn't want to fight and just wanted to do business, and we still had some doubts. But now we believe. Xu Ji sighed and said: "To tell the truth, I Xu Ji don't want to start a war, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not use the sword soldiers, now Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Wang Yun and others have all been killed, and the remaining princes are loyal to the country, if I use the sword again, then it is not my sinner?" ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping immediately looked deeply moved.
Of course, Xu Ji didn't believe the expressions of these two people, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard for others to believe in this matter, but as the saying goes, 'it's better to do what you say', time will prove it, and I'm doing it now." Xun Yu said indifferently on the side: "Da Sikong means that if you want to communicate with each other, then you must first open the business road." ”
Xu Ji said: "We have no problem in Jiangdong and Jingzhou, after all, Cao Mengde is my friend, Sun Ce and I can't talk about friendship, but there is no hatred, and now my biggest headache is Yizhou." Some time ago, because of the war, why Liu Yizhou's relationship was very tense, it was a bit difficult to negotiate business with him. After a pause, Xu Ji said again: "Don't hide it from the two of you, we have already talked about this matter with the envoy of Yizhou, but the other party thinks that we have ill intentions, and in the end the business matter is in vain. ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's faces immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and the former hesitated: "Lord Sikong, it's not that my brothers don't know how to lift, but because our relationship with Lord Liu Bei is ......also average" Xu Jiyi waved his hand and said: "The two of you have misunderstood, I don't want the two of you to come forward to adjust, but I hope that the two of you will become the first businessmen to do business with Yizhou, which can be regarded as expressing the sincerity of doing business for me, and after a long time, Lord Liu Bei will understand."
The two looked at each other, they didn't expect Xu Jiqiu to do something so simple, it was unexpected, and this move would undoubtedly bring them a lot of profits.
But the question is, would Xu Ji really have such good intentions? If there is a problem in this, Liu Bei will be angry and will immediately kill the two of them and drink. Looking at the two who didn't express their position, Xu Ji hurriedly explained the signing to the two, and the two of them were relieved to hear it, and once again admired Xu Jidi's whimsy.
Xu Ji looked a little excited and smiled at the two: "Don't think about it too much, it's still the same sentence, don't think that the previous person in the world can earn it, and the two of you can open up the business road." It's also good for me, although the business of the two is big, but after all, they have their own characteristics, most of which are related to livestock and skins, which is completely related to my Yanzhou's well water and not river water, so there is no business grabbing. Su Shuang thought about it. Yanzhou is best known for its handicraft industry, which is indeed very different from its own business. Everyone opens the Yizhou market, of course, each earns its own money. Irrelevant. has a contract in hand, and I'm afraid that Xu Ji won't be able to play any tricks.
And the two also understand that Xu Ji dares to give such a generous policy, which means that there must be greater profits in it, for the sake of these profits. It's worth the risk.
In order to strengthen the confidence of the two, Xu Ji smiled and said, "Of course, we can also do some business together." Keep two of them for sure. Hearing this, the two of them were in high spirits and looked at Xu Ji together.
Xu Ji said leisurely: "I don't know if the two of you have ever thought about it, once the business road is opened in the future." With the prosperity of the economy. There is one business that must be getting hotter and hotter, and that is transportation. ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping understood. Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Over the years, I have overhauled pipelines in Yanzhou. The purpose of improving the production of new horse-drawn carriages is to facilitate transportation and transportation of goods, but unfortunately there are not many horses in Yanzhou. And most of it was used to assemble the army, although a large number of Youzhou horses were also purchased. It's a pity that it's a drop in the bucket, and now the northern states are in ruins, and all walks of life need a lot of carriages. Cars, we can produce, but horses ......"
Su Shuang hesitated: "Could it be that Lord Sikong wants to buy a horse from us?" Xu Ji shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I hope to cooperate with the two." I got out of the car, you got out of the horse, and everyone made two and five more money. How is it? ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping glanced at each other, and the latter said slowly: "Lord Sikong's mention is very tempting. However, there were too many surprises for us tonight, and we were at a loss for a while. Can you make us think about it? However, there is absolutely no problem in opening the Yizhou Business Road! ”
Xu Ji laughed and said, "How can I, Xu Ji, be a person who is difficult for a strong man?" Even if we jointly engage in transportation, we need to sign a contract. Again, it's really good to be good everyone. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were impressed by Xu Ji's generosity, raised their glasses together, and said to Xu Ji: "My brothers have never admired anyone for many years, but they have never admired Lord Sikong, let us give Lord Sikong a cup!" ”
Xu Ji laughed, raised his glass, and drank with everyone in the seat.
After a glass of wine, the relationship between everyone is even more intimate.
Zhang Hong stood up, opened the door, and called for Red Sleeves to come in. After a while, the red sleeves fluttered.
She is very clever, and she has already finished talking about important things by the time Xu Ji arrives, so she brought a group of Kabuki, just by looking at her appearance, she is better than the Su zhì of the women just now.
Su Shuang seems to be a good fisherman, obviously very rich in things for men and women, and when he saw the women in front of him, he was surprised and said: "Red sleeves, if I am not mistaken, these women are still inhumane virgins." Zhang Shiping closed his eyes, sniffed hard, opened his eyes and said: "Sure enough, they are the best goods, the body fragrance is light and elegant, you don't need to touch them to know how well they are developed." ”
Xu Ji heard their foul language, almost turned a deaf ear, turned his head to look at the others, and found that even Xun Yu was at ease, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was not a person of this era after all, although he could play with these women. But if you want to let yourself treat these women as goods to judge, but you can't kill yourself Xun Yu saw Xu Ji's expression, knowing that Xu Ji's compassion was overflowing, and whispered to Xu Ji: "Don't think so much, it's not that we are cold, since these girls have done this business, they are selling themselves in exchange for money when they are working, which is no different from goods at all, of course, if it is in normal times, we will naturally not look down on them, no matter what, this is a profession and a means of making a living, and if they work hard, You don't have to sell your body. is like this group of dragon girls in the Jade Pavilion, who dares to ask her to sell herself? Huan Fan also said on the side: "Lord, since we entered Chang'an, we have implemented some Yanzhou laws and regulations in Chang'an, such as treating these Fengyue places, explicitly prohibiting human trafficking, and now most of the girls in Fengyue places are willing to come here, if you want to spend the night with them, then you have to be willing to do it, the lord doesn't have to worry too much." ”
Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was too, the kabuki at this time were different from the "chickens" of his time, they were generally versatile, and only the most inferior prostitutes would simply sell themselves.
Especially with the legal intervention of Yanzhou, the things in this Fengyue place are full of the meaning of your willingness, which is different from the unfreedom of official prostitutes. For example, these women in front of them can't see that they have the slightest forced smile.
Red Sleeves smiled coquettishly: "How can you look at it from a distance like playing closely?" Linyuan envy fish might as well retreat and close the net, what are you polite about? ”
The crowd laughed. The women who became the subject of discussion had shy expressions on their faces, and when they shone in the soft light, they looked even more charming and moving.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were unceremoniously, pointing at their favorite women with their fingers, asking her to sit beside them, hugging their slender waists, rubbing the skin of these girls, and eating a large piece.
Xun Yu and the others called someone at random, sat down to drink and chat, and became much more civilized. After all, it is in Yanzhou, these things are flashy and unbearable, and the pragmatic Xun Yu and others will never do this kind of thing.
Of course, Xu Ji's side sat down without exception.
After the girl learned that the seemingly inconspicuous man in front of her was Xu Ji, she was even more wanton flattering.
Xu Ji couldn't bear it and complained bitterly, so he could only stand up and smile in the amazement of everyone: "I'll go to make it easier." Then the crowd was relieved.
Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and slipped away. (To be continued......)
