Chapter 126 The fish takes the bait

 Chapter 126 The fish takes the bait

Cuiyun Building, one of the main industries of Ling's Trading Company.

Ling Shu lazily scanned the words "Hazy fire, smells like the sun" on the post, and let out a light sigh.

"Is it true that there is such a fine wine? Mr. Lu has entrusted me with it, so it's hard to refuse."

"Young man, are you going to answer the question now?" the servant asked, leaning on his waist.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Prepare early and do it more decently."

The boss made a statement, and the people below quickly took action.

Cuiyun Tower has reserved time in mid-May to decorate the furnishings, distribute invitations widely, and deliver them to the residences of major wealthy people.

As soon as everyone received the invitation, they understood its meaning from the lines. Since the prefect took the lead and Ling's Trading Company hosted it, this face must be given.

On the day of the wine tasting, even though the heat was steaming, almost all the respectable and respectable people in Zhengxing Mansion arrived.

Among these people were wealthy businessmen, as well as distinguished scholars and scholars. Chen Ping and others also arrived as scheduled.

As soon as Fang came in, he saw guests gathering in groups and chatting endlessly.

"Boss Wang! Long time no see. How are you lately?"

"Zhou Juren is actually here too. I don't see him going out on weekdays. After all, it's because the prefect is so proud."

"I wonder what good wine can be produced today..."

Chen Ping, He Qingxuan, and Ye Chongwen dealt with a few people, then found a seat and sat down, calmly looking towards the east.

Ling Shu has a big belly and a simple and honest face, and he can drink and drink with ease.

And Lu Wei was surrounded by everyone.

"Uncle Lu!" Xie Zhiyuan strode in. He was wearing a moon-white silver silk Sichuan brocade gown today, and he felt noble at first sight.

There were a lot of guests in the building, and many of them recognized Xie Zhiyuan, and they immediately became restless.

Even the son of the Prime Minister is here. It seems that there is really something to this cocktail party, and everyone is looking forward to it more and more.

Lu Wei smiled and said, "Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here, and my nephew has arrived just in time! Let me introduce to you, Xie Zhiyuan, the son of Master Xie, a Hanlin scholar."

Everyone present came forward to greet them, and Xie Zhiyuan calmly returned the gifts one by one.

Lu Wei urged: "Where is my nephew's wine? Take it out quickly, everyone is waiting."

"Uncle Lu is thinking about the wrong person. That wine is not owned by my nephew, but brewed by my elder brother in the family. I don't like to steal someone else's beauty."

Xie Zhiyuan smiled and looked back.

Only then did everyone notice the person behind him.

The man had high eyebrows and deep eyes, a tall figure, and looked quite imposing. At first glance, he thought he was a guard.

Lu Wei looked at it carefully and felt that it was very unfamiliar, "This must be nephew Xue Xian, right?"

The man was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied gently: "Junior Xue Ren, I have met Mr. Lu."

Chen Ping noticed that everyone present had no strange expressions on their faces, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this Xue Ren is none other than Zhao Jin who changed his name.

Over the years, he has worked hard to investigate the case, and his body shape and appearance have changed somewhat. Moreover, the people present are all celebrities from Zhengxing Prefecture, with whom they have never interacted before, so it is most appropriate for him to come forward.

"Look at me, I was busy asking about the fairy dew. I almost forgot to introduce it. This is Boss Ling of Ling's Trading Company, Qian Boss of Yum Trading Company, Zhou Juren..."

Xie Zhiyuan smiled slightly and nodded to everyone. Ling Shu was also among them, but he did not take the initiative to talk.

When Lu Wei saw that everyone was almost there, he raised his glass and got to the point.

"The government examinations were busy some time ago, and thanks to the great help of people from all walks of life, I, the talented people in Qianzhou, can rest assured about the imperial examinations. So today, Mr. Lu will take the opportunity of the wine tasting party to toast you all here."

Everyone immediately responded and raised their glasses: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. This is my duty."

Lu Wei bowed his hand and thanked, "Today's wine tasting party is full of Du Kangxiang. Let's stop chatting. Come, come, and try the wine brought by Xie Xiannephew!"

"But what did you say, Immortal Dew?" Seeing that he finally got to the point, Ling Shu couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly," Xie Zhiyuan seized the opportunity and took over the conversation, "Brother, hurry up and bring the wine over for all the bosses to try."

Xue Ren nodded, raised his hand and asked someone to bring out the wine that had been prepared.

The fairy dew is specially served in a glass cup, with cold tentacles and clear color, which makes everyone's eyes brighten.

“What a pure wine!”

Everyone present had a glass, and those who were good drinkers couldn't wait to drink it. The cold and refreshing wine slid down their throats and into their chests, and they suddenly felt refreshed.

“What a delicious wine!”

"I have been tasting wine for decades, and this is the first time I have tasted something like this!"

"It's really like something brewed by an immortal..."

Ling Shu had tasted countless spirits. He originally thought that Lu Wei was exaggerating, but at this moment he couldn't help but said with emotion: "I didn't expect there to be such good wine in the world."

"What do you think of this wine?" Xie Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"It's refreshing, cold and spicy, and leaves a fragrant aroma in the mouth. I've lived for most of my life, and today is an eye-opener."

"After all, he is a young man from the capital, so he has many good things in his hands."

Xie Zhiyuan beamed with joy, "If you are satisfied, then I'll be relieved! To be honest, this wine was brewed by my elder brother. The purpose of this wine tasting is to find a suitable business to cooperate in selling this wine. I wonder which boss is interested?" ”

"How come Mr. Xie is willing to give such a fine wine?" someone asked.

Some people think that with Xie Zhiyuan's status, it is not difficult to make a quesadilla. He can sell it by himself, so why would he give up his share to benefit others?

But those businessmen didn't think so. Xie Zhiyuan repeatedly emphasized that the wine belonged to his brother, but it was probably his own business. The so-called brother was nothing more than the person in front of him.

Moreover, today's wine tasting party was organized by Lu Wei, and he might also have a stake in it. There are many branches in the officialdom, and experienced businessmen are still very clear about it.

Ling Shu was the first to ask: "I wonder how Boss Xue wants to cooperate?"

Zhao Jin looked expectant, "Xue is willing to give up 20% of the profit!"

Everyone's breathing was slightly suffocated, and their faces couldn't help but turn rosy. With the help of the imperial court-authorized Ganjiuyu, it is natural to share the profits by selling drinks, but such a high profit is really tempting.

The price of this Immortal Dew must be at least ten or twenty taels. If the profit is 20%, wouldn’t it be a huge profit?

Some people couldn't wait to get up and shouted: "I, Futai House, can take over."

"I can leap over the building, and I own three restaurants!"

"I have four restaurants throughout Qianzhou. If Mr. Xie thinks it's suitable, you can sign the deed now!"

Ling Shu hummed, glanced at them calmly, and stepped forward and said: "Master Xie, our Ling's Trading Firm not only has eight branches in Qianzhou, but also five branches in other prefectures, and there are also many cooperative firms in the capital. Even

This Cuiyun Tower belongs to Ling."

Among the businesses authorized to sell alcohol in Qianzhou, the Ling family has always been the leader. Now that he has spoken, everyone has become silent.

"Ling believes that Boss Xue's wine will be a big seller. To show my sincerity in cooperation, I only want 10% profit!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no suspense about cooperation.

Ling Shu believed that Xue Zhiyuan and Lu Wei were behind Xue Ren, so he didn't care about making less money. What he wanted was to catch up with the prefect and the Xie family.

Chen Ping, He Qingxuan and Ye Chongwen looked at each other in the distance, drank the wine in the glass, and raised the corners of their mouths slightly.

The fish is hooked!
