Chapter 423: Tea Time
Not to fight unprepared battles is the tenet that Mo Ran has always believed in, and he has been following this road as much as possible, the last battle that happened on Flanders Island, in the case of a huge difference in numbers, can still achieve a decisive advantage, why? is because they made a detailed investigation and plan of action before going, otherwise, with their little people, even if they go to sneak attack, it will be useless.

Regarding this sudden cooperation, Mo Ran naturally asked George to talk about it in person after learning the details.
The initial suggestion for this was brought up by Jason, who also stumbled upon while trading with George.
For Mo Ran, a big customer behind the hidden person represented by Jason, George is very attentive, and he has also made some emotional investments before, and now when dealing with his spokesperson, it is natural to contact the relationship from time to time. The two chatted and inadvertently pulled up some messy things, and Jason realized that George was not just a lobby manager, this guy controlled a lot of customer resources and information, not to mention, he knew everything about some information that they still couldn't grasp, which was unusual.
It's not surprising for a businessman to have a huge amount of customer profile, it's a must-do homework, but it's surprising if you know the routes and departure times of some ships.
It would be enough to say that he knew the Welsh Exchange's shipping routes, but more than that, George had more information than their intelligence team had done their best to get out.
What does this mean?
George must have his own source of information, and these are what they urgently need now, but Jason doesn't know what Mo Ran plans to do, whether to cooperate with George or what, although he has this plan, but he doesn't dare to make decisions on such important matters.
It's not that he is not capable enough, but because Mo Ran's influence in this organization is too strong, which undoubtedly guarantees his absolute authority, but it also invisibly restricts the play of these people below, so that whenever they want to show their strength, they have to have scruples, although Mo Ran has already said that all the affairs here are handled by Jason with full authority, but he still subconsciously hesitates.
Although Mo Ran has the intention to change this situation, he can't decide a person's thoughts, the consequence of centralization is that it is difficult for his subordinates to really let go, this influence needs to be slowly eliminated, and when one day, the organization no longer needs him, the leader, to be in charge, he can get out of the way.
This matter was supposed to give Jason a clear intention, whether it was cooperation or failure, as long as he said a word, but since he has come, he naturally does not need to do more, he personally takes over the whole negotiation, no one knows his ideas better than himself, and he also needs to take this opportunity to test the waters, if George can do it, then it is naturally understandable, the conditions he can give are definitely much more generous than Jason, but if he can't pass this level, then there is no need to talk about it.
The interview with George was at tea time, and the venue was set at a café opposite the Welsh trading house, George heard that Mo Ran asked him to talk about some things, and thought that there was some big business coming to the door, and it was not suitable to talk publicly in Wales, so he would make an appointment with him alone, and he didn't think much about it, and the person took care of it, so he went to the appointment on time.
Mo Ran's location is very good, the time is also good, no one will be willing to take the initiative to come to the door, generally enjoy the leisure time of afternoon tea time, this is not like other places, people who come here are generally not bad money, most of them come to enjoy life, so there is also time, they don't account for what time is precious, time is money, but money is like dung in their eyes. Therefore, George's work will not be delayed in order to go to the date, and it is very close to Wales, and anything can be rushed back as soon as possible, just such a small detail makes George very appreciated.
Some people pay attention to pomp and circumstance, but obviously Mo Ran is not such a person.
This café called 'Leisure Ranch' has been open for a while, it has been around since George first came to work here, and the owner is a white old man in his sixties, who is not dressed very orthodox, relatively casual, and does not look like he lives on Alice Island, but really looks like the name of the store, and looks like an old man on the ranch.
Although the name is a little out of tune, but I have to say, the mood is still very good, the lights are hazy, the style of decoration is also a little retro British style series, the tone of the Victorian period in the United Kingdom makes people involuntarily have a sense of their own nobility as soon as they enter it, it can be seen that the owner is very concerned about this small café, and the grasp of people's psychology has also reached a nuanced level.
There was no one in the leisure ranch, in order to show his sincerity, Mo Ran came here half an hour in advance, ordered a cup of green tea and sat alone to look at the surrounding environment.
Although it is a café, it also provides afternoon tea service, which is nothing more than some simple meals and tea, the tea is Darjeeling black tea produced in the Darjeeling Plateau of India, not domestic green tea and black tea, Mo Ran drinks those tea leaves are domestic export of green tea, which is still purchased by someone else, otherwise he really does not have this mouthful.
In Alice Island, tea is generally not sold separately, and every restaurant and café that provides afternoon tea service will have their own purchase channels, and Mo Ran wants to buy some tea leaves, otherwise how can you not find tea in this place where afternoon tea is very popular?
It is a shame to say that the tea ceremony was the first to rise in China, and then it was exported abroad during the great exchange between the East and the West, and the English aristocracy in the 17th century created its situation, thus influencing other countries out of control.
Nowadays, many people have regarded it as a necessary way to relax themselves and connect with each other, but how many people in China really enjoy the tea ceremony? How many people can tell the characteristics and production of each type of coffee, but they don't know how many kinds of tea there are?
Compared with the types of coffee, the varieties of tea are very few, Rao is so, and now the vast majority of Chinese people do not know why, which is a sadness of cultural loss.
