"Hahaha, I understand, of course I can understand it.
Come on, let’s have another drink.”
Hearing this, Krich saw that the slightly nervous mood of the smiling Young Master Liu suddenly relaxed, and then he quickly picked up his wine glass and responded to Young Master Liu.
"Mr. Liu, please do it first out of respect."
"Drink together, drink together."
After finishing the wine in the glass in one breath, Krich slowly exhaled the alcohol and looked at Liu Da with stern eyes.
"Mr. Liu, thank you for your understanding."
Young Master Liu smiled lightly and waved his hand indifferently.
"Oh, Brother Crich, thank you for anything, you are too polite.
When doing business, your own interests should be the main priority. This is a perfectly normal thing.
If a person does not focus on his own interests when doing business, but instead considers the interests of others, then why not do business? He might as well do charity."
"Mr. Liu's words are simply true insights. I admire you very much."
Listening to Creech's compliment, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head, picked up the dry tobacco bag on the corner of the table, and skillfully lit a pot of shredded tobacco.
"Brother Crich, there is a saying among us at Dalong, which is that all the bustle in the world is for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Therefore, the words I just said, young master, are nothing but experiences that have been summed up by our ancestors long ago."
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Krich's face was slightly startled, and he softly repeated what Young Master Liu had said before.
“Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Mr. Liu, although my Dalong words are pretty good now, I still don’t quite understand what you mean by some of your more rude words.
Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Liu to enlighten me on the meaning of this sentence."
Listening to Crich's curious tone, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised his hand to fan the light smoke in front of his eyes.
"Hahaha, brother Crich, what this sentence means is that people in the world are noisy and running around all the time, all for their own interests.
People in the world are running around, all for their own benefit.
To put it more simply, it means that all the hard work and effort you put in are for your own benefit."
After listening to Mr. Liu's explanation, Krich suddenly understood and nodded.
“I see, I’ve been taught by you, I’ve been taught by you.
All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
Such a simple sentence can describe a person's life vividly.
Gao Jian, really Gao Jian!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Crich, who had a sigh on his face, smiled lightly, took a bite of the cold dish, and raised his glass again to signal.
"Brother Crich, let's have a drink."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it first out of respect."
Liu Mingzhi casually put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned slightly and took a sip of the dry tobacco in his hand.
“Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
This has been true no matter where we are since ancient times.
Looking at the whole world, everyone in the world is a profit-seeker.
Even though I am a young master, I am not exempt from vulgarity!
Brother Creech."
Krich immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and looked sideways at Young Master Liu.
"Excuse me, Mr. Liu?"
"Brother Krich, just now you were able to tell me your true thoughts very frankly to me.
This alone is enough to show that your moral character is very good.
It is absolutely normal for a person to like money.
After all, in this world, who dares to say that he doesn’t like money?
Even if such people do exist, they are only rare.
Brother Krich, if you can face this calmly, you are much better than too many duplicitous profit followers."
"Don't dare, don't dare, Mr. Liu, you praised me."
"Brother Crich, I told you before the food and wine were delivered.
When we first met, the cooperation method you mentioned to me was indeed very clever.
However, the cooperation method you proposed has many disadvantages."
After hearing this, Krich immediately sat up straight and bowed his hands to Young Master Liu with a respectful expression.
"Mr. Liu, please give me some advice."
Liu Mingzhi gently took a puff of dry smoke, turned to the side and crossed his legs, then looked at Krich with a faint smile.
"Brother Krich, let me tell you this.
The type of cooperation you discussed with me at the beginning is only suitable for small businesses.
You hope that the caravans from our Dalong Celestial Dynasty can hand over some of the goods carried by their caravans from our Dalong, which are relatively rare in your western countries, into your hands, and then you help them to
sell away.
Then, you have to draw a portion of the commission based on the value of those goods.
At first glance, the benefits of this kind of cooperation method are quite good.
However, in fact, this kind of cooperation cannot be maintained for a long time.
After all, not all caravans from our dragon are willing to cooperate with you.
If it goes against my expectations, the caravans that were willing to cooperate with you in the past should be the owners of the caravans with relatively large caravans, right?"
Seeing that Young Master Liu immediately explained his situation, Krich smiled wryly and nodded.
"Mr. Liu, you are wise, the situation is indeed like this.
In the past, all the caravan owners who were willing to cooperate with me were the big caravan owners from your Great Dragon Kingdom.
As for those large caravans formed by joining together several small caravans, the owners of those caravans will not pay attention to the cooperation method proposed below at all.
No matter how much I try to persuade them, they are still unwilling to cooperate with me."
As Krich was talking, he didn't know what happened in the past, and his face suddenly became depressed.
Liu Mingzhi saw the change in Creech's expression and happily took a puff of his cigarette.
"Brother Krich, do you know why the owners of those small caravans are unwilling to cooperate with you?"
Hearing Young Master Liu's inquiry, Krich frowned slightly and remained silent for a while, then nodded gently to Young Master Liu with a depressed expression.
"Mr. Liu, I'm not a fool. If I can't even figure out such a thing, I don't have to do business. I can just take my wife back to see my grandson.
In a word, the fundamental reason why those small caravan families are unwilling to cooperate with me is because the benefits I promised them are not enough."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately burst into laughter involuntarily.
"Hahaha, hahaha, brother Krich, it turns out you know everything in your heart!"
Looking at Mr. Liu who was laughing loudly, Krich remained silent for a long time with a tangled look on his face, then smiled bitterly and sighed softly.
"well!"
"Mr. Liu, let me tell you this.
I, Crich, do value my own interests more, and I am a person who is interested in the words you just mentioned.
However, while I value my own interests, I also know very well what is meant by the principle of long-term success.
Mr. Liu, I am very clear in my heart about doing business with those caravans from your Dalong Celestial Empire.
