After accompanying Mi Zhu's brothers and sisters to dinner, Ye Teng and Mi Zhu had a detailed conversation in the secluded room.

First of all, Ye Teng apologized to Mi Zhu with guilt: "Brother Zi Zhong, since the Mi clan runs the north, the forces of Tianma City have benefited a lot, but I have not been able to give any decent returns, Teng is ashamed!" ”

This is the truth, all along, the Mi clan has played a huge role in the food supply and trade prosperity of hundreds of millions of people under the rule of Tianma City.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of the Zhen family and the Mi family that it did not take long for him to lay down a piece of territory, and the rule quickly settled down, the people were free from hunger and cold, and the society became more and more stable.

Even because of himself, Mi Zhu even lost such a high position in Xuzhou.

It stands to reason that the Mi family has become Ye Teng's business assistant, and Ye Teng should return with political power. However, in order to achieve Mi's business philosophy of connecting the world, they now have to try to get rid of the relationship between them, so the return is almost nothing.

Although in history, the three brothers and sisters of the Mi family followed Liu Ranran and finally did not get any good results, first Liu Ranran abandoned his wife's god-level skills and released, Mi Huan fell into Changbanpo and jumped into a well and died; Then, Mi Fang was frightened by Guan Erye to surrender to Soochow, and he was also executed by Liu Ranpao's order to return after killing the enemy and returning for meritorious service; Mi Zhu also ended up depressed.

But at least, when Mi Zhu decided to donate his family to Liu Ranran, Liu Ranran gave Mi Huan the position of wife (Mrs. Gan before her was only a concubine), and she also reused Mi Zhu for a long time, and she couldn't even give these things.

Therefore, Ye Teng's guilt really came from the heart.

When he said it, his tone was extremely sincere.

Mi Zhu raised his fist and said, "The general is polite." The general's business philosophy has made Mi change his thinking and gain a lot; The general's force has given the Mi clan the confidence to trade through the world, and for more than a year, several times they have encountered certain forces to make a tentative, and it is the resolute attack of the Jinyi Guards that forced them to retract their outstretched black hands. No, just by Mi himself, how can he have such confidence? ”

In China, examples of wealthy businessmen running amok against the law are certainly not uncommon.

But more rule-abiding businessmen often look at politics from afar and tremble!

get too close, for fear of getting into trouble; It's too far away, like a child holding a gold ingot, too insecure.

For the Mi family, someone provided him with force, although it was not without a price, but as long as Ye Teng's character was reliable, this was a mutually beneficial and win-win business, and there was nothing unacceptable.

Ye Teng shook his head lightly and said, "Between you and me, it is now a relationship of coexistence and co-prosperity, but overall, it is Brother Zi Zhong who helps me, more than I help Brother Zi Zhong." Today, I solemnly make three promises to Brother Zizhong:

"First, if there is a shortage of funds in the process of operation, you can find Chen Gongtai to borrow, as long as you can move it, there is no problem. At this stage of entrepreneurship, I fully support Mi's business with sufficient funds;

"Second, if you really encounter a hard stubble that causes trouble, and Jinyiwei is unable to solve it, you can notify me through Jia Xu and Chen Ping, or even directly inform me that I will pull Xue Weiyang, Badao, Yan Jia, etc., and resolutely send troops to retaliate; At that time, you can declare to the outside world that the Mi clan paid to hire the Bingzhou Alliance as a thug, so that everyone in the world knows that the Mi clan cannot be bullied!

"Third, as long as one day in the future, the Mi family feels that the time is ripe, I will give the Mi family a status not lower than the Zhen family, and the Zi Zhong brother not lower than the status of Chen Gongtai. Brother Zi Zhong doesn't have to shirk it, because the hero must be rewarded, otherwise, who is willing to devote himself to the great cause of Tianma City? ”

Ye Teng's commitment includes three aspects: capital, force, and status.

It can be said that every aspect is what Mi Zhu wants, how can he not be grateful?

Therefore, after listening to the promise, Mi Zhu stood up solemnly, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, General!" Please also rest assured that the Mi clan will go all out! ”

"Brother Zizhong, please take a seat," Ye Teng helped him weakly, then motioned for him to sit down, and said, "I haven't had time to ask, how has the business bank developed in the past year or so?" Are there any difficulties? If there is, just bring it up and we'll try to solve it! ”

Mi Zhu re-seated and said slowly: "For more than a year, it is precisely because people in the world do not know the relationship between the Mi family and the general that the business has been carried out much more smoothly than the Zhen family. Today, the grain and medicinal materials under the control of the Mi clan have increased by more than three times compared to a year ago. ”

"Wait, you mean, because of the relationship with Tianma City, Zhen's business activities have encountered resistance?" Ye Teng asked.

Mi Zhu nodded: "Yes, Zhen Yao is out of the state, and many of Zhen's children are out of the Tianma City forces, which is not a secret."

"Therefore, as long as there is hostility to the forces of Tianma City, the Zhen family's business share has basically shrunk. Some other neutral forces are also very protective of Zhen.

"There are gains in politics and losses in business, this is probably within the expected range of Zhen's expectations, and it is normal to have gains and losses."

Ye Teng said: "It should be." Please continue! ”

Mi Zhu said: "In terms of food, we operate relatively secretly. In order to hide people's eyes, we purchased grain from Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places in the south, and sold about seventy percent in Si, Yong, Liang, Hebei, You, and other prefectures, and only about thirty percent of it was transported to Tianma City for hoarding, so not only did not receive any suspicion, but the northern states opened the door to the Mi clan because they bought grain at a lower price, especially the forces of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Liu Yu. ”

Seeing that Ye Teng listened attentively and didn't mean to interject, Mi Zhu glanced at him and continued: "In terms of medicinal materials, we have signed acquisition agreements with many forces in exchange for providing grain, pills, and grassland products, among which there are aboriginal forces and alien forces, and we have also gained a lot. These acquisition and exchange agreements have basically been notarized systematically according to the general's suggestion! ”

Ye Teng nodded and said: "Very good, now that it is a troubled time, we must pay great attention to the risk of war and investment, and make full use of the weapon of system notarization, so as to avoid one day because of the war, or because of the relationship between the Mi clan and Tianma City is leaked out, resulting in someone maliciously defaulting on the contract, and we will suffer heavy losses." ”

"Obey the general's orders!" Mi Zhu hugged his fists and said: "There is one more thing to ask the general!" It is quite profitable to directly purchase medicine gardens and recruit pharmacists on the spot to plant, but I am worried that the princes will be wiped out, resulting in a loss of investment, I don't know what advice the general has in this regard? ”

Ye Teng said: "The princes are fighting, and there are always some people with strong power and extraordinary potential, who are not so easily destroyed. I suggest that in terms of the Inhumans, you can boldly invest in the State Alliance, the Shenzhou League, and the China Alliance. In terms of aborigines, Cao Cao's Yanzhou, Sun Jian's Changsha, Yuan Shao's Yuzhou, Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and Liu Yan's Yizhou can all be considered, at least their territories should not be risky in the short term. ”

Mi Zhu solemnly wrote it down.

This night, they talked secretly for a long time, and talked about a fuller framework than a year ago for the layout of Mi's business in the future.

It can be said that the cooperation between Ye Teng and Mi Zhu is a model of the successful combination of modern concepts and the wisdom of the ancients!
