Xiamen City, a private room in a high-end restaurant.

"Drink, Caiye, the little one will give you a drink."

"Hahaha, the Zheng family's first steam warship was successfully won by Cai Ye, which surprised many people's expectations and shocked many people's jaws."

"In the past two years, Cai Ye has been hated and suppressed by many villains, but I don't want to see Cai Ye climb up, and repeatedly slander and slander in front of the head of the family, now they are dumbfounded, the steamboat, or the flowers fall into the hands of Cai Ye, their suppression is useless."

"That's right, following Caiye really has a great future, I didn't make a mistake."

"Big brother, you and I are just slaves (that is, nephews), and our status in the Zheng family is not as good as that of Young Master Kui and Young Master Leopard, even the family master's cronies and generals Chen Peng, Shi Fu, He Hui and others, the status is also in front of you, big brother, how did you do it, big brother, let that steam ship that everyone grabbed become your ship, big brother?"

Zheng Lian couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart, this is really amazing, how did he do it, in front of so many powerful competitors, he got the right to use the steamship, Zheng Lian felt extremely curious and wanted to know the reason.

"Yes, Caiye, how the hell did you do it?"

All the younger brothers also pricked up their ears and asked one after another.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha~"

After taking a sip of the wine in the cup, Zheng Cai raised his head and laughed wildly, his face was full of uncontrollable pride, and he laughed for a long time before he said mysteriously: "Why did the steamship fall into my hands, hehehe, I am afraid that Chen Peng, Shi Fu and Young Master Kui, Young Master Leopard and other generations, even if they want to break their heads, they can't imagine that it is me who wins in the end, in the past two years, they have despised and slandered me, and have repeatedly scolded me as a dog of Xujiazhuang, in order to run Nanyang, I have made a lot of great achievements in the past two years, and there are thousands of pirates who have been defeated and captured. But under their jealousy and slander, I received little reward, but so what? It should belong to me, sooner or later it will still be mine, their suppression is useless! ”

Zheng Cai raised his eyebrows and said with a feeling of great relief.

That's right.

In the rapid development of the Zheng Group in the past two years, Zheng Cai has not been happy and comfortable, and there is no imaginary scenery.

There is still only one warship in the possession of the 'Cailong'.

The number of brothers under his command is always about two hundred.

There is a lot of credit for what has been done, but few rewards have been received.

Compared with the scenery of most of the generals within the Zheng group, he seems to be quite down-and-out.

How can this be, doesn't he have an excellent relationship with Xujiazhuang, and can be used as an important communication bridge between the Zheng family and Xujiazhuang, and can bring benefits to the Zheng family, shouldn't he be reused?

But just because he has a good relationship with Xujiazhuang, he has become a famous 'Xujiazhuang blowing', and he brainwashes every day to say that Xujiazhuang is good, which has aroused the disgust of many high-level officials of the Zheng family, and feels that he has become a lackey of Xujiazhuang, and even Zheng Zhilong, who also admires and yearns for Xujiazhuang very much, feels that he is not very much like the Zheng family's own people, and feels that his behavior of blowing Xujiazhuang every day is not appropriate, so he has taken a certain amount of suppression and neglect.

This is the reason why Zheng Caiming has not been satisfactory in the past two years.

After all, in the eyes of a group of normal people, dogs are not very welcome.

But now!

Zheng Cai wants to use facts to tell them that being a dog has a future, and what is wrong with being a dog? Especially when Xujiazhuang's dog has countless benefits and unlimited future, it is definitely worth bragging and kneeling and licking every day.

The user of the Zheng family's first steam warship is the result of his unremitting blowing of Xujiazhuang in the past few years, and he has no regrets about it at all.

And Xu Jiazhuang's side, he naturally looked at his performance and did not abandon him, so this time under Xu Jiazhuang's initiative to negotiate, Zheng Cai got the qualification to use a steamship, in exchange, Xu Jiazhuang agreed to sell one more steam ship to the Zheng family next year (that is, sell four), and the price of each ship is only 280,000 silver dollars, such preferential conditions, Zheng Zhilong naturally has no opinion, and readily agreed.

Of course!

Zheng Caiguang relies on touting Xu Jiazhuang every day, it is impossible to get so much attention and reward, after all, there are too many 'Xu Blowers' in the world, there are 800,000 if there are not millions, and there are countless loyal dog qualities.

Therefore, Zheng Cai was also assigned a task that belonged to him by the Xujiazhuang intelligence department.

For example, secretly supervising the use of steamboats.

Avoid the steam engine inside the steamship, which is studied and spied on by foreign technicians (including those of the Zheng family).

And not to harm the interests of Xujiazhuang, at some special moments, Zheng Cai must take a steamship to serve Xujiazhuang, even if it is to turn the muzzle and attack the Zheng fleet.

And so many tasks, Zheng Cai agreed without hesitation, now he actually has no loyalty to the Zheng family, in his eyes, Xu Jiazhuang is the first, Xu Jiazhuang let him do whatever he wants, even if he betrays the Zheng family, he will never hesitate and be soft.

He is the most loyal dog to Xujiazhuang!

Of course, in front of his younger brother Zheng Lian and the younger brothers, Zheng Cai would not say it so clearly and clearly, but only roughly hinted, saying that he was a person from Xujiazhuang, and the big backer behind him was Xujiazhuang, as long as he followed him, the future would only get better and better.

"Master Cai, it's right to follow you, even if you have been a little wronged in the past two years, but now whether you are extremely Tailai, a good day for us is coming."

"I think so too, to be honest, I did waver before, and my daughter-in-law often scolded me for being stupid, but now I feel that I haven't followed the wrong person, and if I follow Caiye, I will definitely have a bright future."

"Your daughter-in-law scolded you for being stupid? What is such a stupid woman doing here, she quickly kicked it and replaced it with a smarter and more beautiful one. ”

"That's right, I haven't been shaken once, and the women in the family don't have long hair and short knowledge, and often support me, and when we get on the steamboat, I'll take her and the children to the boat to have a look, Caiye, I wonder if this is okay?" One of his subordinates asked.

"Bring it, bring it all! Except for those stupid daughters-in-law, you women and children all come to the boat and sit down, experience the same speed as the next flight, and let them blow and raise their eyebrows when they go back. ”

Zheng Cai nodded and said, he remembered that his wife Huang was also a stupid woman with long hair and short knowledge, and repeatedly suggested that he distance himself from Xu Jiazhuang, if it weren't for her outstanding appearance, Zheng Cai would have kicked her a long time ago, and when the steamship arrived, he would still allow Huang to go on board to see the world, but, in exchange, he wanted to accept two more concubines, and Huang couldn't stop it, otherwise he would be really angry.

"Big brother, after we get the steamboat, in the Zheng family, I am afraid that there will be more people who are jealous and hate us, and you are so close to Xujiazhuang, it is easy to be attacked by slander, I think we still have to be modest and cautious, maybe we have to put a few tables of banquets, invite Chen Peng, Shi Fu, and Young Master Kui to have a drink and improve the relationship with them, after all, when it comes to the sea, you can't win by relying on a steamship alone, and you have to go on all the ships together...... Big brother, why don't you invite them to dinner? ”

At this time, his younger brother Zheng Lian made a timely suggestion in his ear, and in terms of human sophistication, Zheng Lian is much stronger than his elder brother, and his emotional intelligence is much higher.

"Hehe, I'll invite them to dinner? Dream! They have to take the initiative to invite me to dinner and apologize to me, and it depends on my mood whether I forgive or not! ”

Zheng Cai said with an arrogant attitude, saying that he would never lower his figure and take the initiative to show favor to them.

"Big brother, everyone is from the Zheng family, why bother to make the relationship so stiff?" Zheng Lian said a little helplessly, he felt that the eldest brother had begun to swell again, which would definitely offend many people.

"Brother Lian, I know that you are for my own good, and I don't want to see me alone at sea, but this time I dare to bet with you! Chen Peng, Shi Fu, Young Master Kui and others will definitely take the initiative to invite me to dinner in two days, show favor to me, and even apologize...... Do you believe it or not? ”

Zheng Cai said mysteriously.

"This ......"

Zheng Lian was a little unconvinced, is this possible, what is the identity of Young Master Kui, and will he apologize to his eldest brother?

But only a day later.

Zheng Lian couldn't believe it, Chen Peng, Shi Fu, He Hui, including Young Master Kui, Young Master Leopard, they came together, each carrying a valuable gift in their hands, with a smile on their faces, took the initiative to congratulate Zheng Cai, and also found the best restaurant in Xiamen City 'Zuixiangju', ordered a table of expensive dishes, invited Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian to eat, and really apologized during the banquet, saying that there were some misunderstandings and misunderstandings between each other in the past, and each had mistakes, but everyone is a member of the Zheng family, and they should maintain unity, unite with the outside world, and work hard together. Working together to strive for more benefits for the Zheng family, we can't be suspicious of each other and fall into infighting, which is very undesirable.

I hope to be open-minded, abandon the small grievances of the past, shake hands and make peace today, raise the glass in my hand, laugh and drink good wine, and I will be good brothers in the future.

This huge change in attitude made Zheng Lian stunned, wondering if they had been dropped.

When you are full of wine and food, this 'peace feast' is over.

Zheng Lian, who was seven points drunk, was still very sober-minded, and asked Zheng Cai next to him: "Big brother, their status is higher than yours, and they are more trusted by the head of the family, why are they so abnormal today, they all have to come over to slap you, is it necessary for them to be like this?" ”

"Hehe, stammer, these two words are well used."

Zheng Cai, who was nine points drunk, blushed, and burped: "It's not me who they stammer, it's Xu Jiazhuang behind me, as for you worrying that my relationship with them will be more stiff, hehe, this is impossible, to have a stiff relationship with me is to have a stiff relationship with Xujiazhuang, and Xujiazhuang's financial resources are a hundred times that of the Zheng family, and the strength is more than ten times, how can you offend me to death?" ”

"In addition, they all want to have a steamship, even if they can't get it this year, they can always get it next year and the year after, so they have to have a good relationship with me, so that they can send a few people to my ship and learn how to operate a steamship in advance, so that they can use it immediately as soon as the steamship arrives next year, and it is because of this matter that they ask me for dinner, so they will invite me to dinner, didn't you hear it at the banquet just now, did they hint at it several times?"

Zheng Cai smiled.

"I see."

Enlightened, Zheng Lian suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard from somewhere: When you become stronger, you are your enemy, and they all want to be your friends.

It turns out that the eldest brother is not arrogant, he has always been very clear-headed.

I'm still too young and too young, although I know a little about the world and have made a lot of friends, but I still don't understand the rules of strength thoroughly enough.
