Chapter 164: Interests

Naturally, others didn't know that this was a story that Su Shi casually made up, and no one doubted the authenticity of his story.

After all, there are many hermits in this world who do not know about the world and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and most of their words and deeds are bizarre and grotesque, and they are unrestrained and intolerable.

Chang Muhua couldn't help but muttered to himself: "That Dan Qiusheng and Master Cen must also be strange people in the world, so they will have this strange and heroic feeling." ”

Qin Zhidao couldn't help but ask, "Then who is King Chen?" ”

Su Shi smiled: "This matter is even more interesting. I once saw two sentences in a broken wild history, King Chen is good at wine, he must be drunk, he must sing when he is drunk, and he must sing and dance. After getting drunk for a day and month by month, he drowned in the White River. Since the book was in tatters, and most of the pages had been torn off, I didn't know anything about the life of King Chen. ”

Speaking of this, Su Shi sighed: "So I only know the names of these three people, but I don't know their people." ”

After listening to Su Shi's story, others couldn't help but feel emotional.

Chang Muhua sighed: "Although these three people are not famous, but after listening to Su Gongzi's story, they must be people with a loving and uninhibited temperament, and this article will also complement each other, and the names of the three of them will definitely be passed down through the ages because of this poem." ”

Qin Yue couldn't help but smile on the side: "If Dan Qiusheng and Master Cen hear that this article is about to enter the wine, maybe they will come down the mountain to find the virtuous brother to drink again." ”

Chang Muhua echoed: "If Gongzi Su meets those two gentlemen again because of poetry, it will be a beautiful conversation. ”

Su Shi smiled and said, "When I saw those two gentlemen, they were already drunk. And these two names may not be their real names, they were probably so casual at the time, and after they woke up, they were afraid that they had long forgotten to name themselves. ”

Except for Qin Nan, everyone was a good drinker, and they knew that what Su Shi said was very likely to happen, so they all smiled dumbly, and no one asked any more.

Since everyone's doubts have been solved, Qin Yue beckoned everyone to take a seat.

Qin Zhidao naturally sits in the master's position, his left is Chang Muhua, his right is Qin Nan, Su Shi sits next to Chang Muhua, and Qin Nan's right is Qin Yue.

After sitting down, Qin Zhidao raised his glass, looked at Su Shi and said with a smile: "At the last party, the virtuous nephew used a piece of wine to add glory to the banquet, and this time he solved our doubts again, everyone should drink this cup." ”

Su Shi hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare." ”

However, everyone else nodded yes, and even Qin Nan drank a cup of it.

After three rounds of drinking, Su Shi raised his glass to Qin Zhidao, and then saluted Chang Muhua: "Mr. Chang, I heard Uncle Qin say that Mr. Qin is a Persian nobleman, with a noble status but not greedy for pleasure, and likes to travel around to broaden his knowledge, which makes his subordinates admire." I borrow flowers here to offer Buddha and give Mr. a cup. ”

After Chang Muhua raised his glass and drank with Su Shi, he said with a smile: "Twenty-five years ago, I came to Daqian with a caravan, and I was fascinated by Daqian. ”

Su Shi asked: "Mr. Chang came with the caravan, did he come to Daqian to do business or to travel?" ”

Chang Muhua said: "Not only for business, but also for travel. ”

Su Shi smiled and said, "So Mr. Chang is still a businessman?" ”

Chang Muhua nodded slightly and said, "Not bad." ”

Su Shi was curious: "I don't know what business Mr. Chang does?" ”

At this time, Qin Zhidao said on the side: "Brother Pingjiang does a lot of business, but it is mainly in the business of gemstones, and at least thirty percent of Baiyutang's gems come from Brother Pingjiang. And Brother Pingjiang, the gemstone business of Daqian, is only afraid that he will take one percent. ”

Not only Su Shi, but even Qin Yue's brothers and sisters were surprised, they didn't expect Chang Muhua's business to be so big.

Chang Muhua hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That was before, with the rise of jade in the southern countries of Daqian, this business was becoming more and more difficult to do. ”

Su Shi asked, "Didn't Mr. Chang open a shop in Daqian and sell it by himself?" ”

Chang Muhua smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Five years ago, I also opened a gemstone shop in the capital, but I had to close down in less than half a year. ”

"Why is that?"

Chang Muhua sighed: "It is not easy for people from abroad to do business in the territory of Daqian, and the hidden truth is not enough for outsiders. ”

Su Shi nodded, although Chang Muhua didn't explain the reason, but he could roughly guess it.

Fanbang people do some small business in Daqian, maybe no one will blame you, but if you want to become bigger and stronger, and move the interests of others, then naturally someone will kill you.

Especially with the current situation of integrating government and business, it is easy to close a store.

Su Shi stopped beating around the bush at this time, and asked directly: "Is Mr. Chang interested in cooperating with me in business?" ”

Chang Muhua seemed to be a little surprised: "Su Gongzi wants to do business?" ”

Although he was surprised, he was not surprised, because he knew that the powerful people in Beijing did not have a few businesses in their hands now, and a powerful person like General Su's Mansion who did not have any business under his name surprised people.

But Chang Muhua was still a little strange, because if the General's Mansion wanted to do business, and the people who wanted to cooperate with it didn't know how many, why would Su Shi find him.

"I wonder what business Childe wants to do?" Chang Muhua asked again.

Su Shi smiled: "Any business can be done." ”

Chang Muhua groaned: "Why did Childe choose to cooperate with me? ”

"Because you have money, and what I lack now is capital."

Chang Muhua smiled and said, "If the son is short of money in business, as long as the wind is released, the people who line up to send money to the son can squeeze the gate of the General's Mansion." ”

At present, who is doing business in the capital, who doesn't want to hold the thighs of a powerful person, if they can't hold the thighs, no one can say how long their business can last.

Su Shi sighed: "If it was fifteen years ago, maybe someone would have rushed to send me money, but after that day, even if I open the door of the General's Mansion, I'm afraid no one will dare to come in." ”

Chang Muhua only then remembered that the reason why Su Shi wanted to do business was to play against the eldest prince, and indeed no one dared to cooperate with Su Shi.

To offend a prince or a prince, this multiple-choice question is not difficult.

Thinking of this section, Chang Muhua couldn't help but glance at Qin Zhidao, but Qin Zhidao looked calm and indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

He sighed and said slowly, "Why should I offend a prince? ”

Su Shi asked rhetorically: "What does Mr. Chang think is doing business for?" ”

"Nature is profit."

"If you cooperate with me to do business, the benefits you can get will definitely make you willing to offend a prince."

The light in Chang Muhua's eyes flashed, and he asked quietly, "I don't know how much benefit there can be?" ”

Su Shi smiled and said, "Then it depends on how much principal Mr. Chang is willing to pay." ”
