Chapter 30: Conquest
In the past few days, Zhou Hai has been tossing and turning, the tea and rice are not fragrant, he can't eat well and sleep well, and he is restless. I used to eat in the restaurant, but now I ask the guy to bring the food to the room. Zhou Hai stayed in the hotel all day, thinking about it and thinking about what to do. Therefore, I didn't go to the tasting hall to drink tea again, and even if I went, I couldn't meet She Nuan.
It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a tricky matter. Zhou Hai couldn't figure out why She Nuan suddenly left angrily that day? Could it be that the fifty taels of silver were sent by mistake? If so, how can it be recovered? Zhou Hai didn't know where to start, he was struggling to think, he had no good plan to speak of, he was very anxious, and everyone lost a lot of weight.
Zhou Hai thought, just eat She Nuan, save so much pain. Yes, I ate a beautiful woman like She Nuan to my stomach, and after eating a hundred times, all my troubles disappeared. However, Zhou Hai is still unwilling, I am such a powerful businessman, what do I want, can't I subdue such a yellow-haired girl? You can't eat it, you must never eat it, you must surrender your kindness. The more She Nuan ignored Zhou Hai and cooled Zhou Hai aside, the more she provoked this demon's fighting spirit to pursue her. Zhou Hai once again gave up his plan to eat She Nuan and vowed to marry She Nuan.
Zhang Xiong claimed to be a roundworm in Zhou Hai's stomach. For Zhou Hai's thoughts, Zhang Xiong knew it at a glance. It's not a loss to be a master with a deep cultivation.
The so-called master is a staff assistant. In the past, it was only in the government. Later, those wealthy businessmen, learning from the government, also hired capable people with a lot of money, and put them by their side, asking at any time and providing decisions. The master is also called a doorman. If you say it nicely, you call it a staff, and if you say it indecently, you call it a dog's leg. Send people under the fence and make wedding dresses for people. For big businessmen, it is indispensable.
It is not easy to eat this bowl of rice from the master. Be scheming, shrewd and capable. On weekdays, he has to deal with a lot of daily affairs, make suggestions, and be a think tank and staff officer; You must have a sharp mouth and a delicate way, and know how to flatter the owner just right, or maneuver among other merchants. It is also necessary to have a smart mind, be sociable, and be well versed in the way of self-preservation and retreat.
In order to win the favor of the other party and not offend others, the masters always hide their edges, like the form but do not understand the color, they try to say as little as possible, say later, and let the other party say more and say first. I know it in my heart, but I don't say it verbally, but let the other party say it first. Make the other person feel that he is superior to others and has authority over others. And the master, who has already had a bottom, talks about it when the time comes, as if flattering the other party, but leaving no traces.
Masters are good at observing faces, seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and adjusting their behavior strategies at any time according to the other party's identity, status, origin, purpose, and attitude, and casting their favor. When you see people, you talk about people, and when you see ghosts, you talk nonsense. When to enter and when to retreat, the heart is clear and clear. When patting the horse, it is just right and stops in moderation; When refusing, it is tactful and tortuous, and the love is earnest.
For example, when the master sees other people's children, he can't forget to praise him: "This child is so smart!" "It's so beautiful, look at those two big eyes!" "This kid is so naughty, what a lot of ideas!" Who doesn't like to be praised for their children? For another example, when the master sees someone else wearing a new dress, he always loses no time in praising a few words: "This dress is very beautiful", "It's so handsome in this dress", etc., so that the other party listens beautifully.
Master understands the weakness of human nature, and saying a few nice words, although it is effortless, can satisfy people's self-esteem and vanity. In fact, no matter who you are, there will always be some advantages, and the master's genius lies in being able to accurately discover these advantages and say them appropriately. As long as there is no direct conflict of interest with the master, it is difficult for anyone to refuse the temptation of the master's praise, and it is difficult not to have a good impression of the master.
The essence of doing business is to use various relationships to obtain one's own interests. The master who is good at communication is in the business world, and he can obtain market information quickly and quickly. At the same time, good interpersonal relationships, the way of dealing with the world, and an effective lubricant, make difficult things easy and complicated, and improve the efficiency of the master. Some people say that the master is a courtesan in the business world, but he is a scheming courtesan.
Zhou Hai has any difficulties, urgency and troubles, as the master, Zhang Xiong clearly understands, so he has always been able to gain a firm foothold in the Zhou business group.
Seeing Zhou Hai so anxious, Zhang Xiong saw it in his eyes, was anxious in his heart, and thought about it, so he came up with an idea of the best of both worlds, deliberately sold a pass, and said to Zhou Hai: "Marrying She Nuan, it's not difficult, it depends on whether you dare to do it?" ”
Zhou Hai obviously couldn't wait to ask: "As long as you don't divorce your wife, why don't you dare?" Tell me, what's your idea? Don't sell it. ”
Zhang Xiong said: "The owner can buy a new house in Rongzhou, treat this house as a new house, and marry She Nuan to live in it." Add some furniture, dress up, and bring in servants, such as men, servants, maids, handymen, cooks, etc. Isn't that great! ”
Zhou Haijing listened and pondered, and asked: What do you mean to say, marry She Nuan in Rongzhou and not return to Hezhou, right? ”
Zhang Xiong said: "Yes, that's what it means. Everything is in accordance with the rules of marrying the main room, and marrying is the wife of the main room, and the title is the same as that of husband and wife, She Nuan guarantees to agree. She and her wife are called big houses on both sides, which is called 'big at both ends'. ”
When Zhou Hai heard this, he was very happy, patted Zhang Xiong on the shoulder, and said as if criticizing and praising him: "As far as you have a lot of ghost ideas, 'two big ends' is a good way, I like it!" But he asked a little worriedly: "Is this a good idea, but what if my wife knows?" ”
Zhang Xiong said: "It's okay, my wife won't know." Hezhou is more than 600 miles away from Rongzhou, so far away, as long as She Nuan doesn't meet with his wife, if you don't say it, I won't say it, my wife will naturally not know. When I returned to Hezhou, I didn't have to divorce my wife as if it was okay. ”
Glancing at Zhou Hai's face and seeing Zhou Hai's smiling face, Zhang Xiong said again: "If you want to see Mrs. She, then you can find an opportunity to come at any time, such as talking about business, purchasing goods, etc., and reunite with Mrs. She when you arrive in Rongzhou, and you don't need to rent a hotel outside." ”
"Good, good, good! That's the best! Zhou Hai praised a few good words, and then said: "Then tell Huo Yin in the way of 'two big ends'!" Let him go to the She family again, maneuver around it, and persuade She Nuan and Cai Xin. ”
Zhang Xiong received the order and said what he said. Huo Yin agreed, went to She's house again, and pulled the red line again. After saying Zhou Hai's thoughts, She Nuan nodded in agreement.
She Nuan herself has a good impression of Zhou Hai, but marriage is not child's play after all, if you want to find it, you have to find a reliable man. I left angrily that day, not because I was angry for fifty taels of silver, but because I thought, is Zhou Hai reliable? This question has been haunting She Nuan's heart. When Zhou Hai entrusted Huo Yin to propose marriage for the first time, She Nuan thought of such an idea, put forward the request of "being the main room", and decided to test Zhou Hai.
This is the way to ask for directions. Is it to examine whether Zhou Hai is sincere? It is also an expression of one's true will. She Nuan has seen too many tragedies of unequal status of wives and concubines, and she is unwilling to be bullied by the main family as a concubine.
Of course, She Nuan also knew that a businessman like Zhou Hai who had a successful career wanted to be his concubine, and there were many women who wanted to be his concubines, if it weren't for his wife Zhang Cui's strict management, I am afraid that the wives and concubines would have already been in groups.
If you want to be Zhou Hai's main room, unless Zhou Hai divorces his wife, although this requirement is a little difficult, if Zhou Hai really wants to marry her, he will definitely be able to encounter difficulties and not give up, for such a man, it should be reliable.
Seeing that Zhou Hai came up with the idea of "two big ends", She Nuan agreed. Because she didn't have to leave her mother, she lived with her mother in Rongzhou, which was her dream. She is a smart person, and when she saw that Zhou Hai had given in and couldn't go too far in everything, she agreed to this family business.
She Nuan said politely: "Boss Huo, it's rare for you to run around." ”
Huo Yin said: "It's an honor, it should be, it should be, I think that Boss Zhou, he is a very good person, if Xiao Nuan marries in the past, it will also be your blessing!" This is not only a statement, but also a favor for Zhou Hai.
She Nuan said: "I am willing to marry Zhou Hai." But there is one more request, go back and tell Boss Zhou, if he can rescue his father from Gansu, it will be even better. Of course, I know that this is a bit difficult, do my best, if it really can't work, it's not difficult, I want to marry him. ”
After getting She Nuan's words, Huo Yin immediately conveyed them. When Zhou Hai heard this, he learned that She Nuan was already willing, and jumped up happily like a child. But thinking of She Nuan's second request, Zhou Hai felt that it was not a difficult matter, wasn't it just a matter of spending money?
For Zhou Hai, a rich man, as long as it is a matter of spending money, it is not difficult. Immediately got into a carriage with Zhang Xiong and rushed to Gansu overnight. found Chen Lei, the governor of Gansu, and used more than 10,000 taels of silver to make dots up and down. Under Chen Lei's maneuvering, She Ce was rescued. The She family of three was reunited.
Zhou Hai brought a box of rose rouge cream from Gansu to She Nuan. This ointment is not an ordinary thing, but a tribute, which was used by the palace concubines and was also bought by Zhou Hai at a great price. The choice of paste is very particular, and the roses bloom, not only between each bouquet of flowers, but also between the petals of a flower, the color is also very different. Therefore, the person who makes rouge should pluck the flowers in the early morning when the roses are in full bloom, carefully select the petals of pure and consistent color, put them in a clean stone scoop, and slowly grind them into a pulp. And a filter made of fine sand filters out all impurities. Then take the newly reeled white silk of the year, press it into a round cake shape according to the size of the rouge tank, and soak it in flower juice. After five or six days, it was taken out, dried for three or four days, and when it dried, it was made into rose rouge cream.
She Nuan stayed in the palace with her father, of course she knew this thing and was very grateful to Zhou Hai. Not only because this rose rouge cream was brought back, but more importantly, Zhou Hai rescued his father, who was suffering and serving his sentence thousands of miles away.
Since then, She Nuan has treated Zhou Hai as a benefactor, and his heart is all tied to Zhou Hai, and no man can enter his heart anymore. originally planned to buy a completed house in Rongzhou as a new house, but Zhou Hai and She Nuan chose one in the city in a carriage, and neither of them was very satisfied. Zhou Hai simply bought a piece of land in a secluded place on the outskirts of the city, hired someone to plan and design it, built a lot of construction on it, and hired craftsmen to build it.
As the saying goes, there is a knife on the head. This is not false at all. Zhou Hai married She Nuan, and laid a hidden danger for him to bring about his own destruction.
