Chapter 760 Investment
"Cao Hong's daughter...... Is it pretty? ”
"It's not a beautiful ......" Xiahou Hui glanced at Wei Ba and said faintly: "It's stunning." ”
"How is it better than you?"
"The concubine is less than half as good as her."
Wei Ba laughed, raised his hand and rubbed his nose. He felt that Xiahou Hui's statement was a bit exaggerated. Although Xiahou Hui is not stunning, it is also a middle-class posture. If it is twice as beautiful as Xiahou Hui, what kind of concept does it have to be? Big Joe Little Joe, or Mink Chan? Such a beautiful woman would have no reputation at all?
"Yuanrong, since you know her so well, who do you think is more suitable?"
Xiahou Hui was stunned for a moment, turned to the opposite side of Wei Ba, and blinked: "Husband, besides you, who else is suitable?" Cao Hong did this, obviously hoping to marry his daughter to you, so that he could climb your big tree. He is an important minister of the Wei State, and you don't know how much influence marrying him has on the hearts of the Wei people, right? ”
"I'm exempt." Wei Ba shook his head: "I have the three of you, and I am already satisfied, and I will not be blessed to accept others." He waved his hand and signaled Xiahou Hui not to persuade him anymore. He has an appreciation for beautiful women, but his possessiveness is not so strong, not to mention that he also knows that it was already difficult for Naxia Hou Hui to be a concubine, and Na Caohong's daughter may be in more trouble.
The most important thing is that he has no interest, not only is he not too interested in beauty, but he is also not interested in the political impact of marrying Cao Hong. In his opinion, he now has enough strength to form a gang through marriage at all.
"Who do you think is more suitable?" Wei Ba said seriously: "Your suggestion, I believe that Cao Hong will not think that I am snubbing him." Presumably you won't be against him. ”
Xiahou Hui couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Wei Ba didn't seem to be joking, but he was a little relieved in his selfish heart. On the one hand, Wei Ba is content and happy and does not covet beauty, on the other hand, Wei Ba knows Cao Hong's intentions, and wants to choose a suitable person to marry Cao Hong, and listen to her advice, which is trust and respect for her.
"Someone you can trust, of course." Xiahou Hui said slowly: "Of course, the status can't be too low, at least it must be worthy of the identity of Cao Hong, a hussar general." ”
Wei Ba thought for a while. I didn't think of the right person either.
"Why don't you ask your sister? Maybe she has the right person? ”
"Guan Xing?" Wei Ba immediately understood Xiahou Hui's intentions. Guan Xing has already taken a concubine and given birth to a child, but there is no suitable woman to be a wife. For them, the aristocracy, finding a woman to have children was not much of a problem. But find a suitable woman to be a wife. That's not a trivial matter. There are many issues to consider. If Guan Xing marries Cao Hong's daughter, not only will he get closer to Wei Ba in the future, but Guan Feng and Xiahou Hui will also be more harmonious.
"That's a good idea." Wei Ba nodded with satisfaction. smiled: "You talk to your sister first, and then talk to Cao Fu, don't let him think that I don't give him face." ”
Peng Xiaoyu walked over, handed Wei Ba an official letter, and said with a smile: "If you want to satisfy Cao Fu, as long as you reduce the price of the fire bomb a little, so that he can make money, and he can pay the difference when he goes back, which is better than anything." In this way, it is easier for the sister to speak. ”
Wei Ba feigned anger and said: "You said it lightly, reduce the price, it's all money." ”
"Small profits, quick turnover." Peng Xiaoyu was not afraid, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "The Wei State wants to fight on two fronts, they will need a large number of fire bombs, and this money can always be earned." ”
Wei Ba took out the official document and said as he unfolded it: "You are always reasonable. Yuanrong, you go and talk, you can look at the price, don't be lower than Wu Guo. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to Lu Xun. ”
"Ugh." Xiahou Hui glanced at Peng Xiaoyu gratefully, got up and left happily. She went out, but Wei Ba's face sank, he put the official document in his hand on the case, put his hand together, pressed it against his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and sneered: "Jiang Weizhen regards himself as the heir of the prime minister, this tone is even bigger than the prime minister." As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a million, and he thought it was raining under the sky? ”
Peng Xiaoyu didn't say a word, and looked at Wei Ba quietly. This letter came from Guanzhong, nominally an order from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the writer was Jiang Wei, and there was no signature of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
"How do I reply to him?"
"Send him a hundred samples." Wei Ba returned the official document to Peng Xiaoyu, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What good ideas do you have?" ”
"Let's change horses." Peng Xiaoyu took the official document and said unhurriedly: "Each takes what he needs and exchanges it at an equal price, neither giving people a handle nor letting him take advantage." If you refuse here, what will he do if he withholds Daddy's military funds at that time? Besides, it's not necessary to make money with kindness, don't tear your face. ”
Wei Ba thought about it for a while and felt that Peng Xiaoyu was reasonable. If you refuse according to his method, the relief is the relief, but it will inevitably make people feel ignorant of the general situation. To exchange fire bullets for war horses, the equivalent exchange, this method is more thoughtful.
After discussing with Guan Feng, Guan Feng agreed to let Guan Xing marry Cao Hong's daughter as his wife, and Wei Ba found Yang Opera again, and he wrote a reply letter with a full cover and gorgeous words, and sent someone to send it out.
……
Cao Fu blushed his stomach and looked at the brand-new sea ship with satisfaction. This sea vessel is the first batch of sea vessels launched in Hepu Shipyard, with exquisite workmanship, advanced jishu, especially excellent wind and wave resistance. With this ship, he could sail away from the coast in the future, and there was nothing the pirates who raided the coastal waters to do anything with him.
Although it is somewhat regrettable that I failed to marry Wei Ba as I wished, it is also a good choice for my sister to marry Guan Xing. Guan Xing is the son of Guan Yu, with a marquis, and now he is a general who commands thousands of troops, Guan Feng is Wei Ba's wife, there is no doubt that the relationship between the Guan family and the Wei family is close, and the younger sister can marry Guan Xing, and Wei Ba will be relatives in the future, and this financial road will be widened.
What made Cao Fu even more satisfied was that after getting married, he got the best price: 450 yuan per fire bomb, and the shipping cost was at his own expense. This is his personal price, not all the papers, he can sell it to Cao Rui at a higher price on this basis, and that is his profit.
He decided to increase the price by 100 yuan each, so that 300,000 pieces would be a profit of 3,000 gold, so rich that people could wake up with a smile in their dreams.
Cao Fu was very satisfied, Cao Rui gave him the task of talking about less than six hundred yuan, he not only successfully completed the task, but also made a lot of money, just the difference in the price of the advance deposit was enough for him to buy a new sea boat.
It's still Daddy's unique vision. Otherwise, he really couldn't think of a way to marry Wei Ba. From business partners to relatives, this money will be easier to come by, and the future wealth will be more secure. Even if he is as dull as Cao Fu, he can see that although Wei Ba is not yet a powerful minister of Shu Han, this day will come sooner or later, and it is impossible for Zuihou to dominate the world, it cannot be Wei, it cannot be Wu, it can only be Shu Han.
Having a good relationship with such a promising person is the most far-sighted investment, just like when my father invested in Emperor Cao Cao.
"Brother Cao, are you still satisfied with this boat?" Chen Yi said to Cao Fu with a smile. Although he is a few years older than Cao Fu, he is very aware of Cao Fu's background, and he also knows that Cao Fu will definitely become Wei Ba's guest in the future, so he surrendered his identity and deliberately got closer to Cao Fu, calling him a brother. In order to buy a new ship from him, Cao Fu didn't know how many good things he said, but he didn't ask for a good face from him, and it was difficult to even meet him, how could he be so affectionate as today.
"The ship built by Supervisor Chen, what else do you have to say?" Cao Fu knew Chen Qi's intentions, and said with a smile: "When I use this boat to send my sister here and become a relative to Guan Junhou, I will definitely invite you to drink to show my gratitude." ”
"Then I'll wait." Chen Qi was bold and daxiao up. After a while, he pretended to be very casual again: "The Cao family is the clan of the Wei State, and the Hussar General is the important general of the Wei State. I can't afford to give this gold, silver, pearl or jade, and I probably can't get into Ling Mei's blue eyes, this is really scratching my head. I wonder if Brother Cao can give me some advice? ”
"You're wrong." Cao Fu Daxiao said: "Our family is all laymen, and my sister is no exception, it is best for you to send a lot of money." ”
Chen Yiwaner smiled, turned around and took a brocade box from his hand: "Money, I really don't have it, but I got a pair of agarwood paperweights and gave them to Cao Jun." If it can still be used, I will send a bookcase as a congratulatory gift in the future, and please Cao Jun not be too thin. ”
Cao Fu was taken aback. Agarwood is relatively small, and how much is it worth to use agarwood to make a bookcase?
Chen You was very satisfied with Cao Fu's shock. He leaned into Cao Fu's ear and whispered: "Please also ask Cao Jun to keep it secret, General Wei gnashed his teeth on the greedy people, although I am not greedy, but I picked it up myself, but if General Wei knows, it will inevitably be a little troublesome." ”
Cao Fu glanced at Chen Yi meaningfully, laughed, and didn't say anything more. He understood what Chen Yi meant. There are a large number of rare wood in and out of the shipyard every year, Chen Yi used his position to get the best agarwood, but he didn't dare to use it, and now he wants to use it to curry favor with the Guan family, and to curry favor with Guan Feng in a roundabout way, this idea is really far-reaching.
It seems that Xiahou Xuan is not wrong to say that this person is a villain. Cao Fu was smiling on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that it was probably not a good thing to be too close to this guy. Wei Ba uses him now, it doesn't mean that he will always use him in the future, this kind of greedy villain will be cleaned up sooner or later. Cao Cao issued an order to seek talents three times, and he wanted to use talents in an eclectic manner, but what was the result, Zuihou was still in the world of the family, and it was difficult for people with moral losses to achieve great things after all. Wu Zhen helped Emperor Wen so much, he had a heavy army in his hands during his lifetime, and he was in power for a while, but he died but had nothing, and he was called "ugly". Chen Qi is likely to follow in the footsteps of Wu Qian, and should not be too close.
"My sister can't read and write, so she probably can't use the bookcase." Cao Fu snorted: "I don't think she can use this paperweight, and she may have to live up to the eunuch's good intentions." ”
Chen You was also angry, and smiled with Cao Fu, smiling very calmly. What kind of person Cao Fu's sister is, he actually knows it very well...... (To be continued......)
