The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively, the sincerity of the cooperation between the two sides was very sufficient, Xia Yi's attitude towards the casino still did not change, but his impression of Cui Shiyang, the big boss of the casino, had changed a lot, and Xia Yi didn't remember how difficult it was to accept it when he thought of cooperating with such an interesting person.

The guests of honor are happy, and when they talk about business, there is less friction between the sabre-rattlings.

Cui Shiyang put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, and the delicate pattern made it not roll back and forth when it was on the table. Xia Yi's gaze swept over the chopsticks, and he secretly thought to himself, just this pair of chopsticks is estimated to be enough for many poor families to eat and wear for a lifetime.

The arrogance of the big boss of the "World Bureau" can be shown from this pair of small chopsticks, which is not abrupt, more restrained, and more heroic.

Cui Shiyang raised his head, he had already made an abacus in his heart, he glanced at Xie Qingshan, who was sitting next to Xia Yi and drinking calmly, turned his eyes back to look at Xia Yi, and said with a smile: "Since it is a cooperation with Mr. Xia, but it is still Elder Xie as a guarantee, then I am quite relieved about this business." I don't think there is a better customer than two more reputable customers!"

Xia Yi smiled, didn't reply, and quietly stared at Cui Shiyang to raise the price.

Xie Qingshan was more direct, and said, "Since that's the case, then give us the best price." ”

The negotiation got to the point, the scene became quiet, only the sound of gurgling water came from the table, and even the servants waiting to be served around held their breath, not daring to disturb the master's negotiation.

Cui Shiyang smiled when he heard this, and said with a little hesitation: "What about this business, in fact, I have some different opinions. ”

When Xie Qingshan heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Cui Shiyang's words, and he said without hesitation: "Hearing you say this, I have a feeling that I am about to be pitted." ”

Cui Shiyang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Xie, do you think that I am treating you so sincerely today, may I trap you?"

Xie Qingshan was unmoved, with a smile on his face, he stroked his goatee and said, "The more you are like this, the more worried I am that you are playing tricks on us." ”

Cui Shiyang showed a helpless expression, he can't swear a curse because of this little episode, right?

The smile on Cui Shiyang's face faded, and he said to Xie Qingshan, "Elder Xie, can you listen to the price I propose before making a judgment?"

Xie Qingshan put the deterrence and warning in place, and raised his hand to signal Cui Shiyang to continue.

Cui Shiyang looked at Xia Yi, who was sitting quietly next to him, and finally showed a smile on his face when he was talking about business.

"Mr. Xia, I heard that you have written a strange book, and many martial artists who have seen your book have broken through their own bottlenecks and promoted to the next realm, is there such a thing?" Cui Shiyang did not directly propose the price, but talked about seemingly unrelated things.

Cui Shiyang said this, Xia Yi and the others immediately understood, this is Cui Shiyang's price.

Xie Qingshan sneered: "Why, don't you 'world bureaus' only look at money and business? Why are you suddenly interested in the exercises?"

Cui Shiyang replied calmly: "Our 'World Bureau' has always had such a business, Elder Xie concentrates on his own affairs, but he has not heard of these things, it does not mean that we do not have such a business." And - we want the Tao Te Ching, not for business. ”

"Isn't it for business?" Xie Qingshan sneered disdainfully, even if Xie Qingshan ate the meal just now very comfortably and comfortably, it didn't prevent him from showing a contemptuous smile now: "Did I hear it wrong? The big boss of the 'World Bureau' actually said 'not for business', this is simply incredible!"

Cui Shiyang didn't care about Xie Qingshan's cynicism, he knew that the person in charge of this negotiation was not Xie Qingshan, but Xia Yi, so he turned his head to look at Xia Yi next to him and took the initiative to talk to him about it.

"It's also a shame to say that although our 'world bureau' has done a lot of business, it has always been our weak link in terms of protecting forces. Not long ago, such an incident happened in the semicolon of the Daning Dynasty. For some reason, one of the Grand Masters in charge of guarding the semicolon stole our information and leaked it to others, resulting in heavy losses for the semicolon, but unfortunately our strength in the Daning Dynasty is not strong, so we can only issue a reward. But because the other party is the identity of the great grandmaster, no one has dared to accept the reward so far, and the losses caused are still continuing, not only losing the inside, but also losing face. ”

Cui Shiyang sighed when he said it, it seemed that what happened to the semicolon of the Daning Dynasty also had a lot to do with him.

He continued: "The family attaches great importance to this matter, in the past, we all thought that as long as we had money, we would scatter a lot of land, and there was nothing in the world that could not be done, but this incident woke everyone up at once, and understood that without their own strength, even if they had more money, it would be in vain, so the family is now starting to prepare and spend great efforts to cultivate their own defense force." This Tao Te Ching is what I fought for my family, not for business. ”

Xia Yi listened to Cui Shiyang's words and felt very strange. It is impossible for such a big business done by the Cui family and the "World Bureau" to be inexperienced, and they don't even have the idea of cultivating their own strength.

Xie Qingshan's words cleared Xia Yi's doubts.

Xie Qingshan looked at Cui Shiyang and asked, "Do you want to cultivate your own strength?" Are you not afraid that several other major forces will unite to attack your 'world situation'?"

Cui Shiyang looked at Xie Qingshan, he didn't seem to be afraid of Xie Qingshan's leaks, he didn't shy away from saying: "This time the family has made up its mind, even if it is to take risks, it will cultivate its own defense force. The family is worried that this incident of the Daning Dynasty's semicolon will trigger a series of chain reactions, and other places will follow suit, so even if they tear their faces with several major forces this time, the power of the Cui family must be cultivated. ”

Xie Qingshan looked at Cui Shiyang's determined expression and did not speak again. This matter has nothing to do with him, even if the Cui family fights with several major dynasties and major sects, as long as it does not affect their pursuit of the news of the mysterious place, it has nothing to do with them.

Moreover, Xie Qingshan also understands Xia Yi's plan, and knows that in the near future, the "Tao Te Ching" will be fully interviewed, and it is also very cost-effective to act as a bargaining chip to trade with the "World Bureau" at this time.

The reason why Xie Qingshan wanted to argue with Cui Shiyang was that he was afraid that he would agree too quickly, and Cui Shiyang would be suspicious.

These business guys have dirty hearts and have to guard against them.
