Chapter 389: Long Time No See
The south wind blows coolly, the nightingale sings, the flowers under the moon fall asleep, and only the night fragrance reveals its fragrance......
Green Water City, Joyful Dock.
After the song, Jiang Mengting was singing in the round dance hall.
The Round Ballroom is not a big dance hall, and the Round Ballroom in Walkwood can accommodate up to 30 people and is a place for parties.
There are only two people in today's audience, Li Qi and Ma Wu.
Ma Wu lowered his voice and asked, "Old Seven, do you think she is beautiful?"
Li Banfeng looked at the record player behind Jiang Mengting, nodded and said, "Beautiful."
"Honestly, do you think there's anything different about her?"
Li Banfeng is quite familiar with Jiang Mengting, and since the reopening of Xiaoyaowu, Jiang Mengting left Paramount and rejoined Ma Wumen.
"She's loyal to you."
Ma Wu shook his head again and again, and after a song was sung, he let Jiang Mengting leave the round dance hall first.
In the future, our brothers will live a quiet life together, and when she is by your side, I owe her a little less."
There were only two people left in the room, and Ma Wu said to Li Banfeng: "Jiang Mengting and Xiao Xiufei are different, many of Xiao Xiufei's achievements are spelled out from the bed, Jiang Mengting has today's achievements, it is completely out of me, I said that she has not let a man sleep, do you believe it?"
has been in Puzhou for a year and a half, what is the quality of the queen of songs and actresses, Li Banfeng knows very well, why is Jiang Mengting so special?
Ma Wudao: "Because I have placed a heavy bet on her, I have signed a deed with her, no matter how difficult the days are, she cannot sell her body without my command.
She is different from other singers, many rich people think about her, think about her, but they can't touch her, even if she has a famous room in Paramount, but others still can't touch her,
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Why do you want me to accept it, why don't you accept it yourself?"
Li Banfeng took a sip of wine: "Fifty percent of the freight, as for such a terrible thing?"
She is a good woman, I want to find a good home for her, Seventh, are you willing to accept her?
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Why can't our business continue? Just to shut down that little thing?"
I know you can't marry a singer, even if you marry her as a concubine, even if you don't give her any title, just stay with you."
Ma Wu nodded, "She is indeed loyal to me, but the two of us are not the relationship you think."
Li Banfeng smiled, "You are really a good businessman."
Li Banfeng was taken aback: "Could it be that you are brothers and sisters?"
Li Banfeng really didn't study this matter, he knew that the shipping cost in Puluo was very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageously expensive.
It's hard to believe.
Only in this way can her own worth skyrocket, and when it comes to songs, Jiang Mengting will always be the first, and with her status today, I can also make more money."
Ma Wu shook his head and said: "This not only depends on the business, but also depends on her own ability, every year under my hands can cultivate five or six celebrities, three or five years later, there are twenty or thirty celebrities,
But like her, there can only be one like this in three or five years, and only in this way can she appear precious, just like a rose like her in a hundred flowers, this rose can have a value.
She can afford this value, no matter her appearance, temperament or heart, she can afford it.
The cost of transporting a fountain pen from Heishi Slope to Yaowanggou is twenty-one yuan, and the merchant still has to make money, and with the profit of seven yuan, it becomes twenty-eight yuan."
Ma Wu sighed and said, "Before, they wanted to accept Heishipo's book and newspaper business, but I didn't agree, and you definitely won't let me agree.
Ma Wu took down a fountain pen from his shirt and said to Li Banfeng: "This is a fountain pen produced in Heishipo, with a capital of six yuan, and it is sold for twelve yuan in Heishipo.
Yaowanggou does not have a factory that can produce fountain pens, and a fountain pen is sold for twenty-eight yuan, which cannot be blamed on the businessman's black hands, because the freight of a fountain pen is fifteen yuan.
Now the customs envoy has increased the freight rate by five
Cheng, all our businesses outside Green Water Bay have increased their freight rates by 50%, and if we continue like this, all our outside businesses will be ruined."
Ma Wu shook his head and said, "I can't accept it, I can't treat a woman sincerely, there is only business between me and her,
Now that our business is running out, I can't take care of her anymore, so I want to find a home for her.
"How much does this pen weigh? How is it possible to get fifteen dollars for shipping? If this is to transport grain, how high is the freight cost of a pound of grain?"
Ma Wu sighed and said: "Old Seven, you really don't know the difficulties in the business, the customs defense makes the freight not look at the weight, but the price, according to the different market prices of commodities in various places, he just eats our money clearly.
Now he has increased our freight by 50%, and the freight of this pen has reached 22 and a half yuan, plus the cost of 6 yuan, this pen has been transported to Yaowanggou, and the cost has exceeded the market price of 28 yuan, how can we continue to do this business?"
It's really impossible to do business outside.
Why don't you give up all your outside business and concentrate on the business of Green Water City?
How many bloody ups and downs did Li Qi and Ma Wu go through in exchange for today's family background?
They are the number one people in Puluo, and if they give up all the business outside, they will become ordinary businessmen in Green Water City, and all their previous efforts will be in vain.
This matter is very tricky, but Ma Wu can't think of a solution: "I want to find a customs envoy to ease the relationship, but they have a very tough attitude, and it is definitely not just for the sake of books and newspapers.
This is related to the previous events of the He family, He Yuxiu offended the customs defense envoy, we strongly support He Yuxiu, this account, the customs defense envoy also counted it for us."
Li Banfeng lit a cigarette and asked, "How is the situation of the He family?"
"The customs envoy has doubled the freight of the He family, the business of the He family is over, it is completely over, and the factories outside don't know how much it has been dumped.
If it weren't for the fact that He Yuxiu still had some prestige, the He family would be scattered, and He Yuxiu's whereabouts are unknown now, if she falls into the hands of the customs defense envoy one day, there will be no He family in the wealthy families of Puzhou in the future."
"Can we do business outside in the name of the Lu family?" At this point, Li Banfeng believes that Lu Chunying can cooperate.
In fact, Ma Wu has already done this, but he doesn't know how long he can last: "The customs envoy wants to collect Paramount, but Lu Chunying didn't agree, and if this stalemate continues, it is estimated that the Lu family's freight will also rise."
"In other words, the Lu family is also difficult to protect itself."
Ma Wu nodded and said: "Now among the four major families, only the Chu family is proud of the spring breeze, and the customs envoy has reduced their freight by three percent, and then they will suppress the price of goods and squeeze all our business, Puluo."
The number one wealthy family is about to become the Chu family."
Li Banfeng bit a cigarette and silently pondered the context of the whole situation.
Seeing that Li Banfeng had not spoken, Ma Wu came up with a not-so-good idea: "Old Seven, let's go and discuss with Lu Chunying and sell Paramount to the Guan Defense Envoy.
First ease the relationship between the Lu family and the customs envoy, and the relationship between us and the customs envoy can also be eased, let's go back and forth a few more times, maybe this turmoil can pass."
"Relaxation? When will it ease?" Li Banfeng shook his head, "I sent Paramount today, we agreed, tomorrow he wants to be free, shall we continue to send it?"
Ma Wu also knew that this was not a long-term solution: "But what other good way can I do?"
Li Banfeng asked first: "If we divide the business and divide it to a dozen different people, let them run it separately, the customs envoy will not be able to target us, is this the reason?"
Ma Wu nodded: "The truth is this, but how can you find so many reliable people?" It's not something that can be done overnight."
Someone has already done it.
Except for Li Banfeng, no one has ever targeted that person's business, and he really did it.
"Old Five, you go to Shen Rongqing, ask her out, and talk to her about business."
Ma Wu waved his hand and said, "Old Seven
, don't think I can do anything in the bed, Miss Shen doesn't want to see me now."
Li Banfeng said: "You tell her, I want to see her, I want to catch up with her."
Ma Wuyi was stunned: "Do you know Shen Rongqing?"
"I don't know."
Ma Wu was stunned: "I don't know, how can I talk about the past?"
Li Banfeng said, "Just tell her, she can understand."
……
Ling Family Film Company, Shen Rongqing didn't understand: "You mean, Li Qi wants to catch up with me? I don't know him at all."
Ma Wu smiled and said, "This is what he said, I just have to bring the words."
Shen Rongqing felt inexplicable, and after Ma Wu left, she told He Jiaqing about the matter.
……
He Jiaqing just came out of the vegetable market, walked into an alley, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and put a tray of electronic scales on his head.
After a period of trembling, He Jiaqing was refreshed and was about to return the tray when he suddenly felt the button on his chest vibrate.
"Jiaqing, Ma Wu came to me today, saying that Li Qi wants to catch up with me, I don't know Li Qi at all, do you want to see him?"
He Jiaqing was silent for a moment and said, "See."
"What did you say when you saw me?"
"Just say, long time no see."
"Long time no see? I haven't seen him before......" Shen Rongqing was completely dazed.
She couldn't understand what these two men meant.
He Jiaqing was about to explain, when a sturdy woman selling fish rushed into the alley and shouted, "What are you doing with my scales? You're so poor and crazy that you steal this!"
……
Quanjian Teahouse, private room, Shen Rongqing looked at Li Qi opposite, took a deep breath and said, "Long time no see."
It was embarrassing to say this, but this was He Jiaqing's order, and Shen Rongqing didn't know what kind of reaction Li Qi would make.
Li Qi's reaction was very natural: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
Shen Rongqing didn't know what the situation was now, and he didn't know what Li Qi meant by this, so he could only respond: "It's good."
Li Qi continued, "I'm a little troublesome, I need your help."
……
He Jiaqing walked out of the foot massage shop, carrying a footwashing bucket in his hand.
Putting the footwash bucket on his head, He Jiaqing tightened the buttons: "Sister, have you met him?"
"I've seen it, Guan Fang used the freight to jam their business, and he wants to use our channel to run their business."
He Jiaqing thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, let their business be sold by themselves, let's resell it, we won't suffer a loss, and we can make a little difference to come back."
Shen Rongqing was stunned: "Jiaqing, do you want to agree to this?
It's ridiculous, I don't know how he knows about us, but if we do, we'll be showing the Brotherhood's cards."
"He already knows some hole cards," He Jiaqing smiled in the footwasher, "Help him do this, you ask him out again, and tell him that I hope he is doing well, but the He family is not in good condition now, and I hope that the He family is also well."
PS: Okay, it's a sentence from Li Banfeng and He Jiaqing when they parted, and it was also the last sentence they said in person.
