He Qizhou didn't take it seriously. We've already arrived here. Is it really not easy to pass the border? Just make an agreement with the Zhenbei Pass guard and open the city gate early in the morning and rush over on horseback. Of course, this may bring trouble to the De family.
Trouble is the last resort.
The discussion was still in that room. He Qizhou could see all the furnishings in the room with his eyes closed. He and Xia Tong waited for half an hour before they saw the tall and thin man from Bailiju bringing a waiter into the room.
Maybe he didn't have much hope. Seeing that the Lotus Gang had changed people, he lost interest and said: "To be honest, Shopkeeper Zhao didn't let go. The price of each piece of cloth is still the same as yesterday. Can you make more concessions?"
Woolen cloth?"
He Qizhou said: "Today we are not only talking about cloth, we can also talk about silk and porcelain. If you think the price of fur is too high, we can lower it. Just as a response, do you also need to lower it a little?"
When the tall and lanky man heard this, he didn't seem to feel as excited as if he was close to reaching a deal. He just said lightly: "Can you make the decision? Can you tell me how to reduce it?"
He Qizhou said: "We can reduce the price of each sheepskin to one tael, which is very close to the ninety-five cents you require. However, you have to reduce the price of each piece of cloth from two cents to twenty-five cents, and all kinds of silk and porcelain will be reduced to two cents per piece.
The price is 20% off!”
"That's pretty much the same, isn't it?" As shopkeeper Zhao's assistant, the tall and thin man is naturally very skilled.
He Qizhou said: "It's different. Even if silk and porcelain are reduced by 20%, aren't they still about 10% higher than the price quoted by the Salt Gang? These things are not urgently needed, how can they be like our furs? This winter is so bad
Leng, I estimate that the fur will be sold out in a blink of an eye. Besides, we have some looseness here, shouldn’t it be easier to negotiate with the Yan Gang? You voluntarily lowered it by 20%, so that the salt price of the Yan Gang can also be reduced by 15%.
,Can’t everyone go home early?”
"I have to go back and discuss this with Shopkeeper Zhao. Today we will negotiate based on yesterday's price." The tall and thin man said calmly.
"It's still early, why don't you go discuss it with Shopkeeper Zhao?" He Qizhou said.
The tall and thin man narrowed his eyes and said: "Little guy, we are all entrusted persons. Do you think it would be shameful for me to go back and ask for instructions now? Does the shopkeeper think that I can't do anything?"
He Qizhou was a little anxious and said: "Then you are not willing to lower yesterday's price and you don't accept my price, how can we talk about it? Do you think this will work? Let's not talk about cloth for now, just porcelain. If you
If you don't want to lower the price, can you accept a one dollar increase per sheepskin? I can buy you a few thousand taels of porcelain first, which is a good start and will definitely be beneficial to your negotiations with the Salt Gang..."
"Wait, wait, wait, why has the price increased? How can we talk about it?" The tall and thin man interrupted He Qizhou.
He Qizhou was completely speechless. All the price comparisons he had calculated in his mind were of no use. In fact, the suggestion just now was indeed beneficial to both parties. If you delay here for one more day, everyone will suffer another day of losses. Finishing it early will definitely help.
The best solution is to complete the transaction, but the thin man who is thinner than himself is indifferent. He neither changes the price nor asks for instructions and reports. After sitting there for an hour, he pats his butt and leaves, while the man who is following him
The young man was just like Xia Tong, like two wooden men who listened to nonsense for a long time.
He Qizhou could only place all his hopes on that boy from Xinglongji. If the conversation was warm, he would also ask the other party to see the guard general.
Not long after the thin man left, people from Xinglongji also came. The first person to push in the door was still the person who had followed the old shopkeeper in the first few days. The second person to come in was indeed a young man. After looking at He Qizhou, he said
The person suddenly shouted: "Hey——" After a long sound, he realized something was wrong, and then changed his mouth and said: "Hey - you really sent someone younger than me to talk to you."
As the other party's words fell, He Qizhou's anxious heart also dropped, and he almost laughed out of his heart. He Qizhou knew that person, it was Jiang Damin from Tianxingyuan!
Seeing the other person's expression change from indifferent to surprised, I cursed in my heart, this guy is really not suitable for this, he can't calm down at all, but he still has to act: "This young man, it's okay to be younger.
In terms of relationships, as long as you can talk things through and make decisions, that's all."
"Oh, are you still looking down on me? Young master, I can really make a difference. It's interesting. I see that you are quite compatible. Uncle Gen, could you please go and warm up two pots of wine and bring me some side dishes? Let's talk while drinking.
"Jiang Damin sent away the businessmen around him and winked at He Qizhou.
Of course He Qizhou knew that he wanted him to send Xia Tong away, but anyone in the room could see that wink. He once again came to the conclusion he just made, this guy is really not suitable for this job.
!
"It doesn't matter. One of our own, Jiang Shuo, is here too? He is the young master's family? Can you call him?" He Qizhou asked.
"Okay! I'll let Uncle Gen call me later. That guy has a tight mouth and won't talk nonsense. Hey, how did you sneak into the Lotus Gang and become the leader? It's great that you're not dead. I heard that the former Tianxingyuan
I miss you so much that I go crazy!" After Jiang Damin glanced at Xia Tong, he couldn't help but start talking.
"Are you still thinking about Zhang Qingrou? Well, it's a long story. When Uncle Gen comes later, he whispers to him that we are almost done talking, and asks him to invite the young master's family! Remember not to expose our identities first,
Even if you see me in the next few days, don't say anything!" He Qizhou said.
"Okay, didn't I get a big scare just now? Don't you think I'm very quick-witted?" Jiang Damin said.
"Okay, be smart, be smart, but if something bad happens, be careful that Jiang Shuo will kick you out!" He Qizhou said.
Xia Tong interjected and asked: "Jiang Shuo? Is he that big playboy - the crown prince of Jin Dynasty?"
"That's right!" He Qizhou said.
"You're a playboy!" Jiang Damin argued.
…
Uncle Gen arrived faster than expected. He just went out to tell the waiter at the restaurant that the food and drinks would not be served for a while. When Jiang Damin asked him to call Jiang Shuo, he thought at first that he had heard wrongly and that he should not call Wu.
Shopkeeper? After receiving clear instructions from Jiang Damin again, he set off. The other party was the young master's confidant and brother, so there was no need to question anything.
Jiang Shuo didn't arrive until after a stick of incense. He was sleepy-eyed, unshaven, and wearing a slightly too small satin robe. He Qizhou almost didn't recognize him, but Jiang Shuo sent Uncle Gen away after entering the door, and then stepped forward to give him a hug.
He congratulated Qizhou and said, "Brother, it's good that you're not dead! Hey, what are you doing!"
He Qizhou was indeed very happy at first after seeing Jiang Damin, but he was filled with hatred in an instant. After Jiang Shuo hugged him, he took advantage of Jiang Shuo's unpreparedness and directly grabbed the opponent's right pulse gate, and then strangled the opponent's head and neck with his right arm. One year
In the past, He Qizhou had grown taller, and the two of them were almost the same height, so they could restrain each other effortlessly.
"He Qizhou, you, are you coming to Zhou? Come on -" Jiang Damin was confused by the scene in front of him. He was about to shout for someone, but was quickly stopped by Xia Tong who was beside him, and his mouth was also covered at the same time. In fact,
He was still on guard against this suspicious person, but he didn't expect that he would no longer be this person's enemy after having access to the five meridians!
The Yan Gang's room is in the west wing, and the Lotus Gang's room is in the east wing. There is a yard more than ten feet wide between them. Even if the doors and windows are closed, even if you shout loudly, you can't hear clearly, but Jiang Damin still said the word "come".
There was a loud noise, the door was kicked open instantly, and a person dodged into the room and ran straight towards He Qizhou, who was about a foot away! He was so fast that He Qizhou couldn't even see the other person's face!
Just when He Qizhou was frightened, he felt the left palm holding Jiang Shuo's veins tremble. The opponent opened his right arm at the same time, and was already out of his control. He was just thinking about whether to slap Jiang Shuo in the back.
, but heard Jiang Shuo shout: "Don't do it! We are one of our own!"
The man who broke in suddenly stopped rushing forward and stopped beside Jiang Shuo. He was only three feet away from He Qizhou. The two looked at each other and were shocked at the same time.
What surprised He Qizhou was the ghostly Qing Gong of the person who came here. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a short beard and a slight mustache, and a quiet face. When he looked at He Qizhou, he seemed calm and unhurried. Looking at this Qing Gong, he was obviously a master of the sect!
The people who came were a little surprised by He Qizhou's courage! Even if it was a sneak attack, someone who could restrain Jiang Shuo with one move must not be easy. He was originally preparing to strike with all his strength, but when he heard Jiang Shuo's call, he stopped quickly. But even if it was so difficult for him,
They kept moving together, but there were not many waves visible on the other party's young face, which showed the depth of his concentration!
"Uncle Jing, it's okay. You can go out first! Pay attention to the people from the Yan Gang!" Jiang Shuo said to the people who rushed in while rubbing his right wrist with his left hand that was hurt by He Qizhou's buckle.
"This..." Uncle Jing hesitated for a moment.
"Brother Xia, let him go." He Qizhou stopped taking action and said to Xia Tong.
As Xia Tong released his hold on Jiang Damin, the middle-aged man who rushed in also slowly exited the house and closed the door behind him.
"What's going on? Did you take the wrong medicine? You think I'm late. I'm changing my clothes." Jiang Shuo turned to He Qizhou and growled.
"Don't you doubt that I've surrendered to Zhou?" He Qizhou asked.
"It's a joke, I already recognize you as my brother, but why would I still be suspicious of my own brother?" Jiang Shuo said.
"Are you really powerful? When did you open the eight meridians? Are you at the sixth level of Beimang Gong?" Even if He Qizhou didn't exert all his strength just now, the ordinary six or seven meridians would definitely not be able to break free, but Jiang Shuo's sudden burst of internal strength was really strong.
, caught off guard, He Qizhou was able to break free even though he had restrained the opponent's vital points.
Jiang Shuo said: "It's almost the sixth level. I kept pressing on it in Luoyang and was not in a hurry to open the meridians. I opened two meridians in one year here. By the way, is there something wrong with you? What happened just now?"
