Chapter 276: A Reliable Ally
As the company's operations in the new year began in an orderly manner, Xu Zhengdao, as the boss behind the scenes, began to return to his previous salted fish life. Unlike in the past, he is now staying in the Mid-Levels Manor, and he also drinks tea with Su Yuhang, the king of the ship, from time to time.
But the relationship between the two is only known to the bodyguards and servants of each family. Speaking of which, the two have been neighbors for so long, and they met on the road by chance, so Xu Zhengdao took the initiative to visit Su Yuhang.
Su Yuhang, who has been to the Manor in the middle of the mountain, even if he just sits and drinks a cup of tea every time he comes over, he also feels that staying in Xu Zhengdao's manor seems to be more comfortable than staying at home. Over time, he would come over for afternoon tea if he had nothing to do.
Fortunately, Su Yuhang also knew that Xu Zhengdao was not necessarily at the manor sometimes, so he would call before coming to ask if he was free. And sometimes Su Yuhang will also bring some excellent tea purchased at a high price.
Sitting under the grapevines, looking at the freshly brewed tea, Su Yuhang also said with emotion: "Ah Wu, why do you drink the same tea at your house, the taste is different?" ”
"Old Su, that's because I have tea with you. If you are at home, you can taste this good tea alone, what kind of taste can you taste? ”
"That's right! But you stay at home every day, don't you have to worry about the company's affairs? ”
"What's the matter? As Jianling is responsible for the operation, each company also has a recruited management team. I just need to grasp the general direction, and the management will naturally take care of the rest. I have to take care of everything, so why should I pay them for it? ”
Answering like this, Su Yuhang couldn't help but smile and said: "At a young age, you are proficient in the way of control, it is really hard to imagine what kind of family can cultivate such an excellent disciple as you." ”
"Old Su, do you want to take the opportunity to touch my bottom again? Unfortunately, I still won't say anything. By the way, you're all right now, right? Speaking of which, that kid has been investigating for you for so long, can't he completely cut off the roots? ”
Seeing that Xu Zhengdao still took the initiative to change the topic, Su Yuhang didn't feel any surprise, and said very directly: "Break the root, it's so easy." I am sick, you must also know, it is really fortunate to be able to save this old life. ”
"Alas, too. So have you been taking your medicine lately? ”
"Drink! Don't say it, I used to drink it every day, but now I drink it once a week, and I don't feel comfortable with it. ”
Listening to Su Yuhang's self-deprecation, Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Getting used to this kind of thing is really scary sometimes." By the way, can you drink alcohol now? I mean, medicinal wine? ”
"What? You still want to invite me for a drink? I'm not sure if I can drink medicinal wine. But the little doctor said that it doesn't matter if I drink some red wine occasionally, but I should also pay attention to the right amount. ”
"Is that so? I still thought that I didn't go to your house for the New Year, and it was rare for that kid to give me two bottles of wine. It's rare that you have good tea and want to share it with me, so I'll borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give you those two bottles of medicinal wine! ”
"The medicinal wine brewed by the little god doctor?"
Looking at Su Yuhang, whose face was full of light, Xu Zhengdao, who was surprised by the sheep costume, also smiled and said, "Have you drunk?" ”
"Drunk it at the old man's place! The little divine doctor said, I can drink that wine, but not too much. Although the little doctor also gave me two bottles, it was still not enough to drink. I want to get two bottles from the old man, but the old thing doesn't agree! ”
"People are old and not stupid, who will give such a good wine to others? Besides, you're not bad for money, it's the good stuff that's really bad. But this wine, that kid wants to brew, it's still more troublesome. ”
"You know how to make wine, too?"
"I don't know much, but I know a little bit about it. In the past, there was also a master who knew how to make sake at home. I heard him say that if you want to make this medicinal wine now, what you really lack is not wine and secret recipes, but truly authentic and pure medicinal materials.
In fact, this medicinal wine is suitable for people of your age. I'm young and strong, and if I really want to drink this medicinal wine often, I guess I'll drink it until I get angry. I guess that the kid gave me wine because he wanted to see me mess up. ”
Listening to Xu Zhengdao's words, Su Yuhang also smiled and said, "Ah Wu, speaking of which, you are about the same age as the little divine doctor, but I'm still curious, you have known each other before?" Or is it? ”
"There's no need to hide this! I got to know his uncle after I met him. Although we looked down on each other when we met, he often said that I got into the eyes of money. And I laughed at him, and I didn't get anything done.
But we all know that there are big differences in each other's lifestyles and values, but this does not affect our friendship. Besides, my family has a deep relationship with his teacher. Others are inconvenient to disclose. ”
There are many things that are completely hidden, but it is easy to arouse suspicion. Now throwing out some relationships that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood is easier to believe. Hearing this, Su Yuhang at least believed Xu Zhengdao's words.
When leaving, I saw the two bottles of wine that Xu Zhengdao specially brought out of the room, and Su Yuhang, who had drunk it in the housekeeper, specially poured a glass and smelled it, and finally took a sip and said with a smile: "That's right, that's the taste." ”
"Old Su, the wine is for you, this tea will be mine, how about it?"
"Done! If there is such a deal in the future, you can call me and make sure you are satisfied. ”
For Xu Zhengdao, he still has a lot of this medicinal wine. Every year when he returned to Yunwu Mountain, he would collect medicinal herbs and pure grain wine and soak them in the wine vat. Many of these medicinal wines are stored in the alpine caves of Yunwu Mountain.
Every year, he would also take some old medicinal wine from the cave, and then divide it into wine bottles as a gift. Like a monkey making this kind of wine, he will not show it easily.
After befriending Su Yuhang, he didn't see the other party as a high-flying ship king. For Su Yuhang, he also felt that this feeling of treating each other as equals made him feel very comfortable, and he was willing to treat Xu Zhengdao as a friend.
Coupled with the hint of the 'little miracle doctor' earlier, Su Yuhang also felt that this young neighbor was afraid that it was not very simple. As the king of ships, Su Yuhang is also very often, and this world is far more mysterious than ordinary people imagine.
If someone else knows the efficacy of this medicinal wine, then they are willing to give it away easily?
But Xu Zhengdao just exchanged this wine for a box of tea. It looks silly, but it also shows that people don't care about this kind of medicinal wine. Why doesn't Xu Zhengdao care about the medicinal wine that others can't ask for?
Then there is only one explanation, either Xu Zhengdao has something better than this medicinal wine, or there is no need for this medicinal wine to nourish the body. Whatever the possibility, it was enough to prove that he had extraordinary means, or that he didn't care about this kind of medicinal wine.
On the other hand, Xu Zhengdao gave away two bottles of wine in exchange for the friendship of the ship king, which is undoubtedly a good thing to make a profit. In the Xiangjiang business community, if he didn't have a few allies, it would probably be very difficult for the mythical group he formed to reach the top.
As the old saying goes: there is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. Give people roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in your hands.
The Shenzhou Daily was born a few days ago, if it weren't for the support of the Su family and the housekeeper in the form of advertising, the newspaper would have successfully gained a foothold, I'm afraid it would not be easy. Business competition is inevitably fraught, but sometimes it can also make some allies.
On the other hand, another neighbor, although he had also met with him, was not interested in becoming friends with the other party. To put it bluntly, even if you make allies, it depends on whether the allies are reliable. What's the point of making unreliable allies?
