Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dan Chu
"The second situation is to open a restaurant in another country! There is no obstacle for the Qi family to do business in another country, so we can open the restaurant first, and when the restaurant is very popular and the profits make everyone red, we will sell the B shares to the local nobles, bureaucrats and big businessmen! At that time, the situation will be completely different from when we were in Qi country! In the country of Qi, it is others who choose whether to sell favors to us, so that our Qi family can smoothly set foot in the field of restaurants, and we can buy their favors to gain a firm foothold in the country of Qi. But in foreign countries, it was completely overturned, and at that time, it was our initiative to give favors to others, and it was the turn of those local nobles, bureaucrats, and businessmen to inherit the favors of our family. And our Qi family has obtained the favor of the local magnates, which is not only conducive to the business activities of our Qi family in various countries, so that those with vested interests in various countries can firmly defend our common interests, and at the same time, the patronage of local nobles and bureaucrats can also allow us to obtain more information.
Therefore, in fact, the most difficult place here is in the Qi country, what level of partners can we attract, if we can win over the king, Tian Xiang and Zhongsun family, then it is absolutely no problem to open our restaurants everywhere in the Qi country! In foreign countries, I believe that with the strength of our Qi family, it is not a problem to open a restaurant at all!"
Qi Jing, Qi Min, Qi Fang, Qi Ting, and Qi Fei all nodded in agreement when they heard this!
Qi Min said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will hold a banquet after the spring festival, and invite them over to discuss the matter of joining the shares while everyone has not left Linzi at that time!"
Qi Jing said with emotion: "Yu'er, Uncle is really convinced, your current business ability has far surpassed that of Uncle!"
Lu Yunzhou said embarrassedly: "Uncle Mo should be humble, in fact...... I have other suggestions......"
Qi Jing said happily: "Say it, if you weren't my nephew, I would even be willing to spend a thousand gold to buy a word you said! Uncle went home this time, he really picked up a big bargain, it was worth the trip!"
Lu Yunzhou sweated wildly...... Is this an idiom that is a thousand words born in advance?
Lu Yunzhou said embarrassedly: "The next is some small methods, first of all, I have a method of brewing high-grade wine here, I will write to my uncle in a while, after all, you can only spit out the truth after drinking, if we sell the wine, we will be drunk, and this information can be collected more neatly!"
Qi Fang's eyes lit up suddenly: "It's amazing, there is this kind of wine, you must taste it for me first! Yu'er, what do you have in this melon, how can you do anything?"
Qi Jing said dissatisfiedly: "Third brother, don't interrupt the rain, don't worry, this wine is brewed, I will give you ten jars first, okay?"
Qi Fanghuai laughed and said, "Haha, then I'm welcome!"
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help laughing, took a deep breath, and said: "Then if we want them to feel that the private rooms in our restaurant are safe enough, we must put some effort into the sound insulation effect, so that the people who come to eat in our restaurant will soon find that they are talking inside, and the people next door can't hear it, and the sound next door can't be transmitted at all! Only in this way can they talk about some little secrets without any scruples! Write down the sound-absorbing materials, and when the uncle is building, he can add these materials to the wall. ”
Qi Ting's eyes widened: "Third brother, I found that you are really too bad......! I love it!hahaha!"
Qi Jing shook his head and said, "Fortunately, Yu'er is our Qi family...... I sincerely mourn those future enemies of Yu'er, how pitiful!"
Qi Fang laughed on the side, laughing so much that tears came out!
Qi Fei couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
Lu Yunzhou himself was also happy, and said with a smile: "The next thing is the most important, we must not let guests find out about the bugging horn in the private room, so I have a way that it is absolutely impossible for them to put their ears on the horn!"
"What's the solution?" asked everyone in unison.
Lu Yunzhou smiled secretly: "It's to make that eavesdropping horn into a lampholder, as long as a candle is inserted on it, a fire is lit, and a huge hollow lampshade is covered outside, it is absolutely impossible for someone to put their ears over, so even if they get closer, they can't hear the sound!" Those who are eavesdropping in the secret room should also be careful not to make too much noise, the soles of their feet should be wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth, their steps should be light, and the door frame of the secret room should also be wrapped in cotton cloth to avoid the sound of doors opening and closing, and the person in charge of eavesdropping in the secret room must not speak!"
Qi Fang's face was solemn, no longer smiling, and nodded: "Don't worry, I will personally train this batch of intelligence soldiers!"
...
...
By the time the family meeting was over, it was already three days old.
Tian Dan had not yet arrived in Linzi at this time, so as soon as Qi Fang was over, he went to look for Kuang Ziyin, discussed the matter of chestnut belly and blood swallow, and discussed the escort work during the Spring Festival; Qi Min went to be busy with the etiquette reception of the Spring Festival; Uncle Qi Jing was responsible for preparing the sacrifices and counting the goods; Qi Fei had always been in charge of the Qi family's shop in Linzi and was also with the uncle; Qi Ting went to the city defense army to learn about the latest situation.
Only Lu Yunzhou had nothing to do, and it was too late to go to class at this time, so he went back to his small courtyard, thinking about what the three elders said at the meeting all the way.
After the discussion of the matter in the restaurant, Qi Min and Qi Fang each explained the key points of this year, and soon finished speaking, but they couldn't hear anything, and then everyone hurriedly discussed the matters of the spring festival, and the family meeting ended.
In this family meeting, the part that took the longest time was still the part of Uncle Qijing, that is, the part of the restaurant and the intelligence system, but this is not what Lu Yunzhou cares about the most!
What Lu Yunzhou cares about the most is Uncle Qi Jing, some arrangements in Lu Country!
As one of the four major families of Qi, it is understandable that they have a monopoly in Qi, but why is Lu? How could the rulers of Lu give their economic lifeline to foreign businessmen to control?
What's more, Uncle Qi Jing also began to buy pastures and mines, and set foot in the animal husbandry and iron smelting industry of Lu State, which is not comparable to selling salt!
If the monopoly of the salt industry is to seize the economic lifeblood of the country, then to get involved in pastures and mines is to start reaching out to the country's lifeline!
Animal husbandry and iron smelting are closely related to war!
Could it be that all the rulers of the country of Lu are dead?
So you can turn a blind eye?
You must know that in the original work, the animal husbandry king of Zhao State, Wu Shilu, and the iron smelting king Guo Zong, were deeply vigilant and jealous by Zhao Wangdan, but they had to be treated respectfully and treated as guests!
Without him, if you have mastered the horses and iron weapons of the whole country, you can control the war of this country!
"Could it be that the politics of the Lu State have really been corrupted to such an extent that the Qi family can easily penetrate their national lineage?"
In Uncle Qi Jing's words, Lu Yunzhou is almost certain that the importance of the Qi family's industry in Lu can almost be compared with the industry in Qi country!
When Qi Jing was planning to operate a restaurant, the planning of each city in Qi was just a sentence, but when it came to the restaurant planning of Lu State, he was like a treasure for the major cities of Lu State!
"Because of the relationship between the Donglai people, the Qi family's status in the Qi country has always been unstable, is it ...... If that's the case, I'm afraid that the uncle and father will be disappointed, because just this year, the Lu State will be destroyed by the Chu State......"
Lu Yunzhou always felt in his heart that he seemed to have missed something?
"Jun Yao, Jun Yao, please accept my sincere affection! I love you, just like the stars treat the bright moon, like the spring breeze treats willows, like the drizzle treats the breeze, just ......"
"I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen! Bastard Danchu! I said I don't like you anymore, the person I like is Qi Yu, Qi Yu! Don't bother me again!"
The voice from a distance pulled Lu Yunzhou back from his contemplation, and when he heard their words, Lu Yunzhou was stunned and looked ahead--
I saw that not far away on the shore of Xingyun Lake, Kuang Junyao was walking with his ears covered in front, and a tall and majestic man in the back, holding a bouquet of flowers, was chasing Kuang Junyao to confess affectionately! The two walked in the direction of Lu Yunzhou's small courtyard, and they were facing away from Lu Yunzhou at the moment, and they didn't see him.
For some reason, this meeting made Lu Yunzhou want to laugh a little!
However, this person is Tian Dan's most trusted subordinate, the later famous general of the Qi State, and the second brother Qi Ting together to track down the assassins of Xueyan to Dan Chu, who confessed to it?
Lu Yunzhou held back a smile, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "You two, are you here to find me?"
When Kuang Junyao and Dan Chu heard this, they both stopped and turned around!
"Brother Qi Yu!"
Kuang Junyao turned around and saw that it was Lu Yunzhou, her eyes suddenly flashed with joy, the smile on the corner of her mouth just bloomed, and she was about to wave to Lu Yunzhou, when she saw Dan Chu on the side seeing Lu Yunzhou, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly left Kuang Junyao, and while waving her hand, she strode happily towards Lu Yunzhou.
"Qi Yu, long time no see!" Dan Chu greeted warmly.
"Eh?" Kuang Junyao suddenly stopped in amazement, thinking, "It's really a strange thing, didn't you say that you like me? Why are you so happy to see Qi Yu? Hey, hey!"
Dan Chu is tall and majestic, with a lofty demeanor, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his appearance is quite handsome, he is not wearing a suit of armor like Qi Ting, but in civilian clothes, but there is a feeling of coming out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, the kind of domineering spirit that comes out of the bones is very rare.
"Qi Yu, I'm so happy to see you, I heard that you repelled the blood swallow gang of dog offal yesterday, what a beautiful job! Haha, I came back this time, just to lead the troops to smash their kennels!"
Dan Chu walked up to Lu Yunzhou excitedly, gently slapped Lu Yunzhou's shoulder with his fist, and said hello.
Lu Yunzhou blinked suspiciously: "Your goddess is there alone, don't you have to care about her?"
Dan Chu looked back at Kuang Junyao and saw that she was already messy in the wind alone.
