Chapter 178: Carelessness
Chapter 178: Carelessness
Nicholas Tse discussed with Xie Wenjun, it was late at night, and it was impossible not to stay. A meeting with Changxingxing is inevitable.
"Please also ask Master Qin to instruct his entourage not to 'reveal' your identity, and try not to let the other party know your identity and origin." Nicholas Tse said softly to Qin Tian.
"Why is that?" Qin Tian was very strange. Although they know that Chang Xingxing is their opponent, is it necessary to avoid each other like this?
Seeing that Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan were puzzled, Xie Wenjun on the side stepped forward and said: "Qin Dangjia doesn't know, although tea is a favorite thing of Jiang people, it is not a cheap thing, Jiang people live a hard life, and there are not many people who can afford to drink tea. We are mainly engaged in the business of ginger nobles, and we can sell it at a good price! Just like Shengshi is the largest official tea in the south, but the Sima family is the largest official tea in the north, the Sima family almost monopolizes the tea business in Mobei. Although they have lost their position as official teas now, they have had a good relationship with the imperial court and the Jiang nobles for so many years. No other of our firms can compare with them in this regard. ”
"So we wanted to take advantage of the 'spring' tea to have a good relationship with the Jiang tribe and attack the opponent by surprise!" Nicholas Tse continued: "In this way, you can always snatch a part of the business from Changxingxing, don't underestimate this part, Mobei is vast and deserted, there are many tribes, and just a part of it is a big profit!" But once they are detected, they are only afraid that they will rely on the advantages in their hands to hinder many obstacles, and our trip to Mobei will not be as smooth as expected! ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Xu on the side couldn't help but ask: "Since Changxing Bank has such an advantage, how can Gongzi Xie be sure that he can succeed by surprise?" ”
Nicholas Xie said with a smile: "Our Xie Shengkui's reputation is not bad at all compared to Changxingxing, and it has something to do with the upper echelons of the Jiang people, but it is not as good as them in terms of tea." Now that we have cooperated with Shengshi, we have made up for the shortcomings in this regard, and Changxingxing has relied on the status of official tea for so many years, and there are many contradictions with the middle level of Jiang people when doing business. That's why we're sure. However, Changxingxing was also determined to continue to occupy the hegemony of the tea business this time, and worked hard in Mobei during this time. We are openly fighting for the unpredictable outcome, but secretly robbing it has an eighty percent chance of winning! ”
Although this kind of sneaking 'touch' and 'touch' made Qin Tian very unhappy, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no other way for the time being. The situation in Mobei is far more familiar to the Xie family than them, and they can only obey their arrangements.
But in his heart, Qin Tian secretly blamed himself for the sloppiness of this trip to Mobei, thinking that with the Xie family as a partner, he pinned his hopes on them for the trip to Mobei. During this time, I relied on the business knowledge of my previous life to get used to it, so that I really shouldn't be so careless.
Qin Tian instructed Shopkeeper Liu and Fan Tian to 'hand' over to the entourage, and the Xie family made the same arrangement over there. After everything was safe, everyone entered the inn.
Although Yonghe Town is small, it is one of the only roads to naturalization. So although there is only one inn, the layout area of this inn is not small. The day before yesterday, I looked over, but I saw that there were more than a dozen wooden tables in the hall, and there were two floors upstairs, which should be guest rooms.
It was time for dinner, and the table in the hall was full of people for dinner. Because there were so many of them that they made a lot of noise, the guests who were eating looked up at them.
One of them, a man in his fifties, wearing a stone blue 'colored' brocade robe, with a slightly chubby figure and a peaceful face, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and greeted Xie Wenjun who was walking in front with a smile: "It turned out to be Boss Xie, where are you going to make a fortune at this time?" ”
Xie Wenjun also smiled and greeted the other party: "The second master, I am fortunate to be happy." Xie just went to the south to visit a brother in his family, and at the same time picked up his nephews and nieces to come north to play. As he spoke, he turned around and pulled his hand, and put Qin Tianzhuang Xinyan and them all into the list of their sons and nephews.
Next to him, Nicholas Tse told Qin Tian that this was Sima Hao, the second brother of Sima Jun, the boss of Changxingxing, and the second leader of Changxingxing.
Following Xie Wenjun's introduction, Sima Hao looked over here, Nicholas Tse seemed to be familiar with him, Qin Tian greeted him very warmly when he saw him, and then introduced Xie Wanjun, and finally, Nicholas Tse pointed to Zhuang Xinyan and Qin Tiandao: "This is one of my clan brothers, this is his wife's room." ”
In the next second, Qin Tian felt Sima Hao's inquiring gaze 'shooting' towards them like lightning.
Sima Hao walked up to Zhuang Xinyan and greeted him warmly. Qin Tian said that his ears and tongue were inconvenient and he was lazy. Zhuang Xinyan arched his hand towards him. Suddenly, Sima Hao expressed interest in Zhuang Xinyan's finger and took a closer look. Later, he casually summoned a young man and introduced him to his nephew, Sima Chang.
Sima Chang is nearly 30 years old, with a 'feminine' appearance and an arrogant expression. Wearing a crimson 'colored' brocade robe, the robe is shining with gold threads. The belt is inlaid with six bright and dazzling large eastern pearls, and two valuable 'jade' pendants are also hung, and a gold crown is worn on the head. is rich and noble, as if he is afraid that others will not know that his family is rich.
Nicholas Tse told Qin Tian in a low voice: "This is the eldest son of Sima Jun, the boss of Changxing Bank, and he is also the future leader. If Changxingxing really falls into his hands, the day of its destruction is just around the corner. ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, and his breath sprayed on Qin Tian's cheeks in bursts, Qin Tian frowned, glanced back at him, and saw that he was looking ahead, as if he hadn't noticed his faux pas. Qin Tian looked around again, and saw that everyone was standing at the 'gate' now, and it was indeed a little crowded, so he didn't say anything. Just moved a little towards Zhuang Xinyan's side.
Nicholas Tse continued to look ahead, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Here, Sima Changpi greeted Xie Wenjun and the others with a smile and a 'meat', his eyes swept through the crowd, but fell on the face of the beautiful Xie Wanjun, his eyes rolled twice, showing great interest.
On weekdays, Xie Wanjun always wears a hat when she goes out. But after a day of carriage today, she finally saw Zhuang Xinyan, she didn't want to cover herself, and deliberately dressed up a little before getting off the car. And Nicholas Tse was busy dealing with Changxingxing's affairs, so he didn't pay attention. Otherwise, I won't let my sister be so swaggering.
Feeling Sima Chang's fiery gaze, Xie Wanjun couldn't help but regret her recklessness. She wanted to attract Zhuang Xinyan's attention, but Zhuang Xinyan's attention was on Qin Tian, and he didn't even look at her, but he didn't expect to meet a disciple like Sima Chang.
Nicholas Tse on the side saw Sima Chang's ill-intentioned expression, and his heart was furious, he stepped forward and stopped in front of his sister. This made Sima Chang restrain slightly.
After the two sides introduced and greeted each other again, Sima Hao took his nephew Sima Chang back to his original seat.
Qin Tian looked over, but saw that there were about five tables of people on Sima Hao's side, all of whom were dusty servants, which was a little inconsistent with what Sima Hao had just said about coming from Pingyuan. Ping was not far from here, and these attendants were as tired as if they had been on the road for a long time.
While the Xie family and the shopkeeper were greeting, Qin Tian quietly 'handed over' Fan Tian: "Later, you will find a way to inquire about the situation of Changxingxing." By the way, I also inquired about the folk customs of Mobei. After speaking, she paused, and then said, "When you inquire, avoid the Xie family." ”
"Why is that?" Fan Tianqi said.
"We are only relying on the connections of the Xie family, not the Xie family. It is our prosperous world that does business with Mobei, not the Xie family. We must remember this clearly!" Qin Tian said lightly.
The Xie family is just their partner, no matter how far-reaching the Xie family's power is in Mobei, in terms of the tea business, they are the dominant one! They have a huge profit to share with the Xie family, and they don't take advantage of them!
Judging from the fact that the Xie family had concealed Changxingxing before, it seems that they regard Shengshi as a subsidiary!
Is there any mistake? How could she, Qin Tian, be led by their noses!
At this time, Zhuang Xinyan suddenly handed her a small notebook, which read: "Sima Hao has seen through the identity of our tea merchant!" ”
"How so?" Qin Tian exclaimed.
Zhuang Xinyan handed her his hand.
Here, after Sima Hao pulled Sima Chang to sit down at the table, he immediately instructed a man with a mustache next to him, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Luo, immediately send someone to go to naturalization quickly, and tell the big boss that Xie Shengkui has formed an alliance with the southern Shengshi, so let the big boss prepare early!" ”
Shopkeeper Luo took the order and left, and Sima Chang on the side was very surprised: "How does Uncle know that the Xie family is in alliance with the prosperous world?" ”
Sima Hao glanced at Zhuang Xinyan who was not far away, and sneered: "What am I doing!" I'm a tea merchant, and I grew up brewing in tea. They can hide it from others, but they don't want to hide it from me! Then he said, "Have you noticed the hand of the deaf man?" ”
Sima Chang looked dazed, he was only paying attention to Xie Wanjun just now, where would he look at a man's hand?
Sima Hao sighed secretly when he saw him like this, and said unhappily: "Ah Chang, you are going to take over Changxingxing in the future, and you have to have a few more eyes in case of trouble, otherwise, there will be a big loss!" ”
"Uncle has come to teach me a lesson again! If my uncle really has a problem with my heirship, why don't you tell my father? "Sima Chang is not angry. You must know that Sima Hao is just a concubine, and he can be disposed of with just a little property, but because of his own 'shrewdness' and ability, he has won Sima Jun's trust, so he has the status of the second leader today. But in Sima Chang's eyes, he didn't take this uncle seriously.
Seeing that he was not taught, Sima Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and continued: "The deaf and mute man's palm has calluses, and it is obviously a pair of hands that fry tea. But where is his demeanor that a roasted tea master can have? He is deaf and dumb, can fry tea, and has that appearance, only Zhuang Xinyan, the eldest son of the prosperous world, meets all the above conditions! ”
As a tea merchant, it is natural to pay close attention to other tea merchants. And Zhuang Xinyan and Qin Tian were in the limelight in front of the royal driver before, and it was difficult for people not to know.
"Then the 'girl' next to him is Qin Tian, who was born as a maid, but is also the niece and 'daughter' of Mrs. Song!" Sima Chang was stunned.
"It should be her! Xie Shengkui will not appear here with the head of the prosperous world for no reason, and deliberately hide it from us, it must be that they have formed an alliance and coveted our tea business! Sima Hao snorted twice: "The foundation of our Sima family in Mobei for hundreds of years, how can they shake it at will, and they can't do it at will!" ”
