Chapter 21: Under the Assembly
Xiliu replied: "Although tea is not as important as firewood, rice, oil and salt, nor is it precious to jewelry and jade, it is also different from restaurants, food spots, porcelain pottery, and silk and satin...... But from the princes and generals to the common people, who doesn't have a cup of tea to entertain the guests? How can it not be mutually beneficial? ”
Someone asked, "If I lower the price of grain for the young owner, what can the young owner give me?" Will the price of tea be lowered? But the tea that my family prepares in a year, including giving it away, how can there be more food eaten by the less proprietor's family in a year? ”
Xi Liuhui: "You don't have much tea in a year, so is the silk you use in a year as much as the grain and rice you eat in a year?" Sir, although I am young, I also know that joining the Ministry of Commerce is not for the sake of this small profit of price reduction between you and me. But if you want to build a road, you can ask me to cooperate with the Xi clan, and if I want to load the boat, I can find you to work together to pay for the road on this water. If I join the Ministry of Commerce, your travel expenses will be less, my boat fares will be less, and at the same time, I will add a lot of business to the bidding team, so why not? ”
"Who wouldn't say nice things, and what you envision is naturally how to think about it, but is this business? It's all a practical thing, and we have to see some practical benefits, isn't it, who knows when I, the shop that makes clothes, will build roads and load ships? Xi Shaodong's speech was also a little empty. A boss dressed in blue and black clothes shook his head and continued with a mouthful of glutinous Nanshui words. He was still young and not very tall, and he was dressed in blue and black, like a child stealing an adult's clothes and putting them on.
Shen Tingzai smiled and asked, "Boss Yan, you should talk about it, what are the actual benefits?" Xi Shao's proprietor sent two hundred silver to the Ministry of Commerce, which was enough for the Ministry of Commerce to buy a lot of things. ”
Yan Yuhuan replied: "Two hundred quantities, if you run out of Kalu after repairing a pavilion, can you still distribute it to my shop?" ”
Yan Yuhuan, the owner of the Yan family, the smallest owner in Nanshui, although not as famous as Ji, Wu and Shen, but Yan's clothing shop is also famous in Nanshui, and business is booming. Xiliu narrowed his eyes and said in his heart: "This Yan Yuhuan is young, but he is not easy to fool at all. ”
So she said: "How can you pull the Yan Dongjia to open the way with me to load the ship?" You also know that my Xi family's caravan has no ability, but the road is long, what is Sainan, Northern Xinjiang, Yelang, if Boss Yan wants some special silk, I will bring you a few horses back then, the price is negotiable, this can be regarded as a practical benefit? ”
Yan Huanyu smiled and nodded: "In this way, there is really a young owner of Laoxi." ”
Xiliu smiled and raised her glass, feeling relieved, finally someone agreed to her to enter the Ministry of Commerce, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the next will be better, but she also knows that she can't be so passive anymore, if everyone puts forward a condition to let her enter the Ministry of Commerce, then her Xi's Tea Shop may have to be wiped out, so what's the point of entering the Ministry of Commerce, she just wants to rub a little money and resources. So she smiled and asked, "Ji Gongzi, do you want to bring some strange things to your family?" “
Xi stayed in his heart and calculated, first of all, there must be no problem on the Shen family's side, Shen heard from her that the bosses of the Shen family had agreed to let the Xi family enter the Ministry of Commerce under his persuasion, plus some bosses who were closely related to the Shen family, there were almost one-third of the number, and it should be almost the same to pull another Ji family, the Ji family is in the Ministry of Commerce, it is the wind direction of a bunch of people, as long as the Ji family expresses its position, the people who agree will almost reach half.
As soon as Ji Liu was about to reply, he listened to Wu Zhaoying, who was sitting opposite him, said: "I came to the Ministry of Commerce, in fact, it is not very compliant, but my uncle said that there are not many Wu families, so in the future, I have to help with a lot of family business, so I asked me to listen to the bosses with a learning mentality, I have no business experience, I didn't want to speak, but my uncle often said, this business, just like being a man, not only to be attentive, but also to have good intentions, less fancy, down-to-earth." I heard that Xi Shaodong's family is already twenty years old, and he is still diligent, and he has never talked about marriage in order to do business, and he can talk about marriage, that is, he stepped on Ji Gongzi's veil last time, and I heard that he was going to talk about family affairs, but unfortunately the veil is fake. I sincerely admire Xi Shaodong's family for being so diligent and hardworking, it is not easy to be married to the girl's family at the age of twenty, your bosses should help more, if it weren't for my uncle telling me to ask the gentleman next to me to make a decision no matter what, I would definitely agree to Xi's entry into the department, but unfortunately Mr. disagrees, I am also helpless, Xi Shaodong's family is so sincere, your bosses can support her a lot......"
After Wu Zhaoying finished saying a bunch of words, the bosses began to ponder.
"Young owner, this is ...... Why does it get stranger the more you think about it? The finch sitting next to Xiliu frowned and asked. The people in the hall were silent at first, and then there was a lot of discussion.
Someone stood up and said, "In business, Miss Wu doesn't need to borrow anything else to pull people for Xi Shaodong's family." Helping is what her friend has to do, the girl is kind-hearted, and there is nothing wrong with it, but business, there are many mouths behind everyone who are waiting to eat, how can they be so casual. ”
Someone was loudly dissatisfied: "Isn't stepping on the veil just to cling to the Ji family's fame, isn't it just a showmanship?" Lao Tzu's most annoying thing is these twists and turns, if you can do it, if you can't do it, get out, what about women, don't come to make trouble if you can't do it. ”
Someone said impatiently: "Everyone has the bottom in their hearts, Shen Gongzi, let's start making a decision." ”
Shen Ting frowned slightly, and then smiled sweetly: "Which ~ how can you be in such a hurry, the Ministry of Commerce has the rules of the Ministry of Commerce, and you must leave a certain amount of time for everyone to discuss, so it is fair and just." It's also very strange to say, why are the bosses so irritable all of a sudden, in business, how can you add emotions to things that are not business, not to mention, isn't it just a misunderstanding, Renxi Shaodong and Ji Gongzi are calm, how can you be so impetuous, this is not the mood that we businessmen should have. ”
Hearing this, Wu Zhaoying also began to panic and said: "Bosses, don't talk about it, it's me who is ignorant, thinking that Xi Shaodong's family is very sincere, I admire you, so I greet you like this." Xi Shaodong's family didn't deliberately step on Ji Gongzi's veil for the sake of fame, last time I saw Shen Gongzi swimming in the lake with Xi Shaodong's family, it's really a beautiful shadow, Xi Shaodong's family will not spoil their affection with Shen Gongzi for fame...... "She trembled and burst into tears, looking like I was originally kind, why did I suddenly mess up.
Everyone moved even more, "Shen Gongzi is so protective of Xi Shaodong's family, is there a personal relationship?" But this is the Ministry of Commerce, we are talking about business, those things that are good for me, we have to consider the occasion...... "Some people are serious, and some people start to giggle...... The scene was in chaos for a while.
He ...... Mother's ......" Xiliu couldn't help but curse in her heart, to be honest, she is not an impulsive person, but this matter, you don't know how to explain it, a bad one will become more and more black. Xiliu was nervous, and he couldn't come up with any way in a hurry, so he could only purse his lips and smile, poke the fan in his hand hard, open and close, close and open. She never thought that she had been preparing for a long time, and finally fell into an impasse because of these rights and wrongs.
Shen Ting couldn't blacken his face, so he had to smile helplessly at Xiliu, and he didn't want to defend himself, so he only joked: "Xi Shaodong, what can I do, what is the misunderstanding~ It's better for you to marry me, I'm unmarried, you are not married, and you are not young, just right." In this way, it just offsets the hard work for a long time. I've checked your ledger until it's dark, and I'm finally swimming in the lake, and I'm still full of discussions. It's so hard, if you can't achieve anything in the end, it's too worthless, don't you bosses? Help me persuade Xi Shaodong's family, if she doesn't marry me, I, Shen Shao, will be angry and vomit blood this time. ”
