"Dean Bai, forgive me for being stupid and not understanding your actions. ”

It was Hai Ruwei, Tang Hao's mother, who spoke, and at this time, she, Qi Wanli, and Lan Caiyun were strolling in the Yuhai City Temple of Life, walking among the green and verdant grass and trees, and the purple and red flowers.

"Boss Hai, since we're here to enjoy the flowers today, don't always talk about business, right?" Qi Wan hooked a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Otherwise, the strange flowers that Bishop Lan has cultivated so hard will be stained with copper stench." ”

Hai Ruwei smiled bitterly, but she heard Lan Caiyun cover her mouth and chuckle, and said: "Dean Bai is really good at laughing, the seeds of each of these flowers are worth a thousand gold, if you really want to talk about the smell of copper, these beautiful flowers are the most smelly." ”

"Is this not talking?" Qi Wanli shrugged.

Lan Caiyun nodded and said: "Today is a big day for the sailor labor army to bid, if Dean Bai doesn't make it clear, where does Sister Ruwei still have the heart to enjoy the flowers?"

Hai Ruwei glanced at Lan Caiyun gratefully, and here Qi Wanli shook his head and sighed lightly: "Okay, let's find a place to sit down and talk about it." ”

Hanging Pavilion in the compound.

Wu Kui pointed to the blackboard hung by the servants of the Hanging Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, and explained the rules to the merchants in the courtyard.

"Last night, I believe you have received the bidding rules sent by us, and General Ben will briefly explain them today, and then you can make a tender document. ”

"The content of this tender is divided into two parts, the first is for our naval division, the content is to package and supply the commodity supply of the first corps of the Yuhai division in the next year, including weapons and armor casting, medicinal materials supply, main daily necessities, and some other important commodities, the specific list has been sent to your table, please make a tender later according to the list. ”

"The content of the second block is for the Hanging Pavilion. As we all know, the supply of goods in the past few years has been handled by the Hanging Pavilion, but this time the Hanging Pavilion Li Pavilion Lord, who is also the national teacher of this dynasty, took the initiative to give up this channel, so you also need to pay the Hanging Pavilion a compensation, you need to submit the amount of the compensation in the tender for the amount of fifty percent of the silver ticket voucher, if finally selected, then the balance must be made up within three days, and the other ones who are not selected, the silver ticket will be returned immediately. ”

"In these two pieces of content, our sailor mainly supplies goods, supplemented by the compensation of the Hanging Pavilion. The content of the tender will be delivered separately and reviewed separately by General Ben and Boss Gao. If the merchant finalized by General Ben is different from the merchant finalized by Boss Gao, then General Ben will prevail. However, the merchant finally selected by General Ben, regardless of the amount of compensation he submitted, the final amount to be paid must be the amount selected by Boss Gao. ”

"In the end, if the merchant selected by General Ben is unable to pay the compensation within three days, he will be directly disqualified, and General Ben and Boss Gao will finalize another supplier. ”

"What General Ben said, do you understand?"

Everyone in the courtyard nodded one after another, their faces were very solemn, they unfolded the list of goods on the table, began to pick up the pen next to the table, and wrote down the prices one by one.

In the Temple of Life, Qi Wanli said with a smile: "For the Tang family, it is difficult for you to gain an advantage in this bidding. You are mainly engaged in the medical hall medicinal materials business, but in the list of various categories, the proportion of medicinal materials is less than thirty percent, and the materials and supplies of armor casting account for more than fifty percent, it is difficult for you to get a lower price than the Zhao family in this regard, even if you grit your teeth and pay low prices for daily necessities, it is difficult to overpower the Zhao family. ”

"After all, for an army, armor casting is much more important. ”

Hai Ruwei nodded and said: "This, of course I understand, I have calculated that our Tang family can reduce the price of medicinal materials and daily necessities to a very low level, and in terms of final cost, we should be able to achieve the overall level with the Zhao family." But there is really no way to do this piece of armor, so it can only depend on how General Wu chooses. ”

"It doesn't matter how General Wu chooses, he seems to be the one who decides this bid, but in the final analysis, the decision is still in the hands of Boss Gao. Qi Wanli said: "What is really important is the amount of compensation that Boss Gao has set. ”

Hai Ruwei frowned and asked, "Could it be that Dean Bai wants to complete the bidding by throwing money at it?" However, the Zhao family has a lot of financial resources, rich cash flow, and the support of the Martial God Temple behind it, even if your academy reports an astronomical amount of compensation, there is still a possibility that the Zhao family will grit their teeth and get this amount within three days. ”

"Besides, Xiaoyao Academy is actually coming forward for our Tang family, if an outrageous price is quoted, my Tang family will ...... Not necessarily affordable. ”

Qi Wanli took a sip of the new tea that Lan Caiyun had just brewed, and smiled without saying a word.

Hanging Pavilion in the compound.

"How's that?" Tang Hao asked nervously.

At their table, Huang Ju held the pen expressionlessly, writing the prices on the list one by one slowly and rhythmically, no one noticed, and there was a faint green light in his eyes, which reflected the branches and leaves swaying in the sea breeze above his head.

"Rest assured, on the total price, our offer will not be lost to anyone. He said lightly.

Yang Chan frowned and said softly: "The silver tickets on the Zhao family's side can't be seen at all, they cover them very tightly......

"It doesn't matter. Tang Hao comforted: "This aspect is ...... Well, the dean has already arranged it, we just need to come at our own pace. ”

On the right position, Wu Kui and Gao Gao Shan were also talking in a whisper.

"Boss Gao, what kind of compensation price do you expect to get this time?" Wu Kui asked with a smile.

Gao Gao Shan smiled, drank hot tea, and said: "It doesn't matter how much money this money is, the main thing is to see everyone's strength, the original intention of the Li Pavilion Lord to set up the Hanging Pavilion was originally to revitalize the world's commerce, and the money he got today, Gao will definitely find a way to return it in the future." ”

"Boss Gao is very generous. Wu Kui nodded.

In the temple of life.

"Actually, this time, Bishop Lan still helped the dean a lot. Qi Wanli said.

Hai Ruwei glanced at Lan Caiyun, only to see her long-time friend nodding and saying with a smile: "Indeed, Dean Bai wants to take advantage of this bid to give the Temple of Life a big gift, and Caiyun is naturally willing to help Dean Bai do some trivial things." ”

"The more you talk, the more mysterious it becomes, and I don't understand it at all. Hai Ruwei smiled bitterly and spread her hands and said, "I, I feel that the past few decades of business have been done in vain. ”

"Hahaha, Boss Hai is really too humble. Qi Wanli smiled: "You are just limited to a small box in your thinking, and you don't jump out to see." ”

"Think about it, what is the purpose of the Tang family's participation in the bidding?"

Hai Ruwei was stunned and said: "Of course, it is to take the future supply channels of the First Corps of the Naval Division, so as to expand the business, and if possible, we can also take this opportunity to directly annex some small businesses, so that our Tang family's business can involve more fields and grow rapidly." ”

"That's right. Qi Wanli said: "The second question, how to win the bid?"

Hai Ruwei blurted out: "Of course, it is to give the lowest total price offer to the sailor and the highest compensation to the Hanging Pavilion at the same time as possible." ”

Qi Wanli smiled and glanced at Lan Caiyun.

Lan Caiyun also smiled, added a cup of tea for Hai Ruwei, and said, "Sister Ruwei, do you think that if you want to meet the conditions you said at the same time, how much cash flow will be needed?"

Hai Ruwei thought for a while and said, "I've already calculated this. According to their current number of people and the current market quotation, they need to advance about 40,000 gold ingots each quarter, and the compensation of the Hanging Pavilion, there is no definite amount for this thing, it is difficult to determine, but generally speaking, it will not be an outrageous number. Normally, selling such a one-year contract is worth about 10,000 gold ingots, which is already a very high offer. ”

"Therefore, this bidding, at the very least, needs to be prepared for a deficit of 50,000 gold ingots in the next three months. Hai Ruwei reported the approximate number in her heart.

Qi Wanli nodded and said, "In this regard, Boss Hai must be much better than this dean." Fifty thousand gold ingots is really a big number, if converted into the currency of the Southern Continent, it is 500,000 gold coins. So do you think the Zhao family can afford this number?"

Hai Ruwei shook her head: "Three months, 50,000 gold ingots, Yu Hai except for the Hanging Pavilion, no merchant can afford it." However, the Zhao family has a wealthy Martial God Temple behind them, and they have been providing armor for the Martial God Temple for a long time, as long as they advance a part of the payment to the Martial God Temple in advance, it should still be able to hold on. ”

Hanging Pavilion in the compound.

Zhao Fan lowered his voice and said to his father Zhao Dong: "Dad, look. ”

Zhao Dong, who was writing the quotation on the list, raised his head and looked at his son's inconspicuous gaze, only to see that on the ground, there was a spot of light cast by the sun shining through the leaves, swaying and flickering very regularly.

"Our invited Sky Walker is hiding in a high place outside the courtyard, and he has already seen the offer in Tang Hao's hand!" Zhao Fan tried to suppress his excited voice and said, "He has started to signal us!"

Zhao Dong snorted, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the spots of light on the ground that flickered regularly and represented some kind of code.

After a moment, the two fathers and sons stared at each other at the same time.

"How can he be so high!Is he crazy!" Zhao Fan struggled not to let himself cry out.

Zhao Dong also gasped and said, "This is impossible, where did the Tang family get so much money? If compensation is given at this price, they will go bankrupt next month, Hai Ruwei will not be so stupid!"

"Could it be, that Xiaoyao Academy's ghost?" Zhao Fan asked: "That Xiaoyao Academy obviously also has a lot of financial resources, and it can buy a place like Lao Xu Yuan, and the cost of accepting apprentices is still so high, I heard that they also have cooperation with the Hanging Pavilion, and they have made a lot of money in it." ”

"Makes sense. Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "No, in this bidding, the decision seems to be in the hands of General Wu, but in fact it is in the hands of Boss Gao. ”

Zhao Fan took a breath and said, "But Dad, let's ...... You can't stand it, right?"

"Yes. Zhao Dong said calmly: "I have been prepared for this for my father, in addition to the Martial God Temple, I also borrowed some cash from the palace master, and now we have more silver tickets in our hands than the Tang family." ”

"Father is wise!" Zhao Fan was surprised and delighted.

However, the two fathers and sons didn't notice that when they were discussing fiercely in voices that others couldn't hear, Tang Hao, who was sitting on the other side, cast a cold and mocking gaze at some point.
