On a summer afternoon, a heavy rain is urgently needed.

The noisy cicadas, the sultry weather, the I can't sleep, and the fall that just woke up...

"Master, why do I have a heavy head every time I wake up from a nap recently?" Luo Luo rubbed his eyes and talked to me.

"The Buddha said: Obsession, simply understood, is because you think too much." I glanced at her, Luoluo, are you angry when you get up?

"Master, what should I do then?"

"Or... I won't sleep anymore. I thought about it and decided to tease her.

......

The first round of the Wang family's competition has finally begun.

I told myself to put aside for a moment what Luoluo had told me in the morning to explode in information, and not to meddle with any more things.

At the same time, I repeatedly told Luo Luo not to mention it to anyone. If you eavesdrop on people's secrets, you will be killed.

She must have been frightened when she heard this, and swore fiercely, saying that she would not say anything.

Amitabha~

As long as it doesn't target me, it doesn't hurt Luoluo. For other things, the Buddha said: Let him go~

Luoluo's task this afternoon is to concentrate on eating melon seeds and watching the play!

The Royal Chamber.

Many people had already arrived, and Wang Xiaoxiao was also sitting on the first chair on the right hand, lively and lively, few people knew each other, and silently led Luoluo over there.

Seeing that there are only five white-bearded old men sitting in the middle, it seems that many old men have asked for leave, and it is estimated that the first round is not the decision of the winner, so they don't pay so much attention to it.

The tables and stools on the left and right sides of the chamber were all moved back to the wall, and a large space was vacated in the middle, and I wondered if it was to make room for the next competition.

Luoluo and I sat silently on the seat behind Wang Xiaoxiao, and as soon as Luoluo sat down, he fumbled and took out a handful of melon seeds from which pocket. Awesome! The two of us began to be professional melon knockers with relish.

"Thank you for the master's help last night, if it weren't for the master's help, the consequences would be unimaginable. Xiaoxiao owes the master a great favor this time, and after the fact, Xiaoxiao will come to thank him. "Wang Xiaoxiao immediately mentioned the incident in the middle of the night to me as soon as I arrived.

"My Buddha is merciful~ With a gesture, Miss Xiaoxiao doesn't need to be polite." Indeed, it is also ...... Two small characters, if you raise it, you will raise it, I didn't take it to heart, when I met me, they were destined to have a catastrophe.

One by one, the people came to the council chamber and sat down.

The white-bearded old man sitting in the middle squinted his eyes and looked around, and then slowly spoke:

"Ahem... Be quiet!

Everyone is almost there.

I am Wang Chuanshan, the oldest elder in the Wang family, and many young people may not know me anymore.

It doesn't matter, this time, I will preside over the internal competition of the head of the Wang family.

My Qingcheng royal family, since the ancestors in the Qingcheng foundation, ups and downs, inheritance has been more than 200 years, has been enduring, prosperous.

Today, under the witness of everyone, our Wang family began the first round of the internal competition of the latest family head.

Let's start with the two contenders:

Wang Xiaoxiao, the only daughter of the previous head of the family, 28 years old, unmarried, good at management, and understands music theory.

Wang Di, the son of a branch line, thirty years old, married, good at strategy, proficient in the art of war.

Let's talk about the rules again, the competition is divided into four parts.

They are: Business War, Speculation, Martial Arts, and Elder Scoring.

Business wars, speculation, and martial arts are held every ten days, three rounds, and the winner of each round gets one, a total of nine points, and finally the twenty-one elders look at the comprehensive performance of both sides to discuss and vote, and the winner of the vote will score two points.

A total of 11 points were scored in the whole competition, and the one with the highest score was the new head of the Wang family.

Business war: Each side lives one person, with 1,000 taels of silver, ten days, does not break the law and commit crimes, and the one who makes more profits wins. The winner's product is not allowed to be re-selected in the next two rounds.

Speculation: The first round of business defeat will be the first to ask questions, the second round will be the other party, and the third round will be discussed by the elders. The content of speculation is not limited, and each expresses his own opinions.

Fighting: Each side sends one of its own disciples to fight, and the three rounds must not be repeated and no people are killed. Violators will be awarded the loss.

In all competitions, Wang Xiaoxiao and Wang Di are not allowed to participate directly.

The competition mainly tests the business acumen, recognition and employment of people, interpersonal relationships and other comprehensive abilities of the two of you.

In this competition, in line with the principle of competition first, friendship second, no life, and gambling for the second half of your life, please do your best, perform well, hollow out your minds, rack your brains, and show your powers.

So, let's get started.

The personnel of the first round of business battles between the two sides should come forward to report the situation. ”

I admire this elder so much, he has said so much, and he doesn't need a draft for such a long speech, which is comparable to what we host! Looks like there's a bit of ink in my stomach!

"I'll come first." A young man from Wang Xiaoxiao's side stood up, holding an account book in his hand, walked to the middle of the meeting hall, and bowed deeply.

"I have met all the elders, I am Wang Xiaojian, this time I was ordered to take the family caravan to Wuyi Mountain, more than 700 miles away, and after many negotiations, I purchased the tea Da Hong Pao of Wuyi Mountain.

buy two hundred and fifty catties of big red robes, two taels of silver; buy fifty catties of good class, five taels of silver a catty; Twenty-five catties of fine were bought, and ten taels of silver were bought, and the cost was a thousand taels of silver;

After the freight transportation is returned, it is sold in the major chambers of commerce and shops in Qingcheng and Jiangxia. The medium price is 3.22 taels of silver a catty; The price of good class is 10 taels and 1 catties, and the price of good grade is 221 catties; In the end, he sold 1,800 taels of silver, making a profit of 800 taels.

Every account is recorded in the ledger, which is clear and not false. With that, he handed the ledger with both hands.

Naturally, someone took the account book in Wang Xiaojian's hand and began to flip through it for verification.

"Not bad!"

"Yes, yes."

"My cousin, he knows the tea ceremony." Miss Xiaoxiao deliberately turned around and explained to me, feeling a little proud.

I heard the praise of everyone in the conference hall, as if this Xiaojian's business acumen was indeed okay.

However, when I saw that the corners of Wang Di's mouth were also smiling... I know, this round hangs!

At this time, an old man on Wang Di's side also walked out slowly with the account book in his hand.

"I've met the elders, I'm Hu Tu, an old doctor.

As we all know, it rained for more than two months in May and June, and floods caused floods, and as a doctor, I know that floods are often followed by various plagues.

This time, we sent people to purchase a large number of common medicinal materials from nearby cities, including forsythia, honeysuckle, ephedra, bitter almond, banyan root, Mianma Guanzhong, Houttuynia cordata, patchouli, rhubarb, rhodiola, menthol, licorice, etc., at a total cost of 1,000 taels of silver.

Then he was sent to Jiangnan quickly, where he ground it into medicinal powder and made 4,000 copies of medicine, each of which was sold for only half a tael of silver, and finally recovered 2,000 taels of silver and made a profit of 1,000 taels. After saying that, the old doctor Hu Tu also handed over the account book, and then retreated to the side.

Inside the chamber...

The atmosphere is a little delicate.

I saw that Xiaojian's face darkened significantly.

After the tea time, the young people checked the account books of both parties, and the announcement was correct.

Obviously, the winner is decided.

"It's... The healer's kindness..."

"Admire, admire!"

"Doctor Hu Tu is not confused!"

In the conference hall, the praise of the old doctor Hu Tu was full of praise.

At this time, Wang Di got up with a smile on his face: "Promise, promise, come out on top." ”

Amitabha...

This... It's a complete crushing game!

This is a dimensionality reduction blow from different dimensions! Whether it is the starting point, the moral point, or the meaning, this is not a level at all.

That's it, Miss Xiaoxiao, are you ready? The start is unfavorable, which affects morale.

I can't help you. The pattern of the old doctor, high enough!

Now that it is a foregone conclusion, I saw Wang Xiaoxiao take a deep breath and take the initiative to stand up and say: "In this round, we are convinced of losing. Let's start preparing for speculation, and according to the rules, we will come up with the questions first. ”

Then Wang Xiaoxiao bowed to a middle-aged man beside him and said, "Then please ask the teacher next." ”
