Chapter 50: The Mi Family Visits
Seeing Yang Ling staring at him intently, the young man frowned and coughed lightly in displeasure.
Yang Ling came back to his senses at this time, pretended that nothing had happened, and said with a smile,
"In Xia Yangling, I am the owner of Moutai Liquor, I don't know if the two of you are ......"
"Introduce yourself, in Xuzhou Mijia Mifang, the name Zifang."
The man with a thick face from before stood up and smiled,
"This is the younger brother, Mi Zhen."
Mi Zhen, the young man on the side, also stood up and arched his hand towards Yang Ling.
Mi Zhu personally visited him to discuss cooperation.
Presumably, the reputation of Moutai wine has spread to Xuzhou.
As for the so-called younger brother Mi Zhen on the side, it is clear that he wants to hide people's eyes.
Yang Ling could see at a glance that she was pretending to be a man.
Whether it is history or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Mi family has two brothers, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and a younger sister, Mrs. Mi.
There is no such thing as Mi Zhen at all.
And according to the records of the wild history, Mrs. Mi's real name is called Mi Zhen.
Mi Zhen's homonym, isn't it Mi Zhen?
To sum up, the identity of this person is about to come out, she should be the famous Mrs. Mi Zhen Mi in history!
Yang Ling had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface, he pretended to be surprised,
"I didn't expect Your Excellency to be the famous Mi Zifang, what a faux pas!"
"Sir, you don't have to be polite, I came to the door with my brother suddenly, this is rude."
Mi Fang is also extremely polite and authentic.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down and got down to business.
"I just heard from the shopkeeper Huang that Brother Zifang wants to cooperate with us in the business of Moutai Liquor?"
Yang Ling asked.
"Yes, it does."
Mi Fang smiled and said slowly,
"Moutai wine is also quite popular in our Xuzhou. So I came here to discuss cooperation with Brother Yang. ”
"With the strength of our Mi family, coupled with a good wine like Moutai Liquor, our two families will definitely be able to make a lot of money."
If someone else came to ask for cooperation, Yang Ling naturally didn't want to think about it, so he refused.
But when the Mi family came to visit, then he had to think about it.
The ancestors of the Mi family have been engaged in reclamation for generations, raising nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and have assets of hundreds of millions.
However, Yang Ling considered cooperating with the Mi family, not because the Mi family was strong, but because the Mi family would defect to Liu Bei in the future.
It is precisely because of the funding of the Mi family that Liu Bei has the capital to compete in the world!
Yang Ling has a grudge against Liu Bei, how can he sit back and watch such a thing happen?
Moreover, Liu Bei's increased power has increased the difficulty of Boss Cao's unification of the world in disguise?
Therefore, Yang Ling must find a way to win over the Mi family!
Thinking of this, Yang Ling smiled slightly,
"Isn't it just cooperation, this is easy to say!"
Hearing this, the corners of Mi Fang's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and she was secretly a little proud in her heart.
It seems that the reputation of my Mi family is still loud.
The two simply discussed the cooperation, and before they could discuss it in depth, the sky darkened.
Yang Ling glanced at the sky outside and said with a smile,
"It's not too early, we might as well continue the conversation tomorrow. I will have a banquet tonight, and Brother Zifang and Brother Ling will not leave. ”
"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Mi Fang also nodded and agreed.
With Yang Ling's order, the shopkeeper Huang soon ordered someone to prepare a table of good wine and food.
Under Yang Ling's deliberate hospitality, plus Moutai wine added to the fun.
Between the staggered discussions, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite warm.
In the conversation between the two sides, Yang Ling's words revealed his insights on business, which surprised Mi Fang even more.
"Brother Yang, your remarks about business are really breathtaking."
Mi Fang couldn't help but praise,
"I didn't expect you to be so smart in business!"
"Where, where is it, Brother Zifang is polite."
Yang Ling pretended to be modest and waved his hand.
Joke.
I came through anyway, and casually quoting some opinions and remarks is not to make you dumbfounded.
At this moment, Mi Zhen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke softly,
"Brother Yang, I don't know if you have the intention to help our Mi family. In terms of treatment, it is naturally generous. ”
She stared at Yang Ling in her beautiful eyes, and there were flashes of brilliance in them.
Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled,
"I appreciate your kindness, but at the moment I am working under Cao Zhoumu, and I have no other plans for the time being."
Hearing this, a flash of disappointment flashed in Mi Zhen's eyes.
The Mi family has been in business for generations, and business is all over the world, so it naturally needs a business-minded person like Yang Ling.
She originally wanted to recruit Yang Ling, but she didn't expect Yang Ling to be Cao Cao's person.
"Come, come, drink!"
Mi Zhu snorted and raised his glass.
A few more drinks were made, and the shopkeeper Huang suddenly walked in from outside and whispered a few words in Yang Ling's ear.
Mi Zhen is the closest to Yang Ling, and her ear power is very good, and she can vaguely hear the words "The state pastor invites you to come over".
She secretly thought in her heart, it seems that this Yang Ling's status under Cao Cao is not low.
"Got it."
Yang Ling nodded at the shopkeeper Huang, and smiled apologetically,
"Two brothers, I'm really embarrassed, I have something to do temporarily."
"It's okay, Brother Yang just go and get busy."
Mi Zhu smiled generously.
Yang Ling apologized repeatedly, then got up and walked outside.
Dian Wei was waiting outside the wine shop, and when he saw Yang Ling coming forward, he hurriedly said,
"Big brother, my lord, he asked me to invite you over."
"Is something wrong?"
Yang Ling asked.
Since Cao Cao pacified the Yellow Turban Army, he has been busy with official business, and the two have not seen each other for a while.
He asked Dian Wei to invite him over so late today, there must have been something big happening.
"I don't know, anyway, the lord is very angry, it seems that it is because of those scholars."
Dian Wei shook his head.
Yang Ling suddenly realized.
It had been a while since the Yellow Turban Army had been pacified, and it was almost time for Cao Cao to tear his face with the Yanzhou scholars.
A few people came to the governor's mansion and walked straight into the lobby.
"I've seen the state pastor."
Yang Ling, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun bowed to Cao Cao in the court.
"You're welcome, sir."
Cao Cao waved his hand, his face was pale,
"Sure enough, as the gentleman said, these local warriors are about to me off!"
It turned out that in the eyes of the local scholars such as Chen Gong and Xu Yan, Cao Cao was able to sit in the position of state pastor, thanks to them.
But after Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, instead of reusing them, he suppressed them vigorously.
Moreover, a series of policies such as reclaiming wasteland and reusing scholars from poor families have also greatly damaged their interests.
This made the Yanzhou scholars particularly dissatisfied with Cao Cao.
In addition, there is a celebrity named Bian Rang, who is a great Confucian in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and is as famous as Kong Rong and Tao Qiuhong.
