"Do you think Shen Wansan is a drunkard and doesn't want to be in the bar?"
"Shit, you would spend 300,000 taels of silver just to poach a person. Not to mention the body, even if the person is covered in gold, he is not worth 300,000 taels."
"Brother, you should broaden your horizons. Zhang Fengnian is definitely a talent. This time he can research a new formula for water. Who knows what he can research next time?"
"Tch...this is just good luck. If I can blindly blind him this time, he may not have such good luck next time."
A person on the side sneered and retorted: "Even if this cement formula is a fool's errand, Zhang Fengnian was the first to win the imperial project during the bidding process. This is definitely not a lie.
Bar?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a different voice immediately appeared: "It's just a bluff, can this be considered a skill?"
"It's a bluff. If it's so simple, then I wonder how many projects Xiongtai has contracted for the imperial court?"
"I...I wasn't there that day, otherwise he would never succeed."
"You are a tough talker. Some people are really arrogant. No matter what others do, it is just luck."
The person who was ridiculed immediately retorted: "Obviously some people are incompetent, but it's just some conspiracy and conspiracy that cannot be put on the table, but some people blew it up."
Seeing that the two people were arguing more and more fiercely, some people couldn't stand it anymore: "The richest man in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan, came to invite Zhang Fengnian in person. Do you think you are more powerful than Shen Wansan?"
At the same time, Zhang Fengnian hesitated again and again, stood up with the wine glass in hand, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Thanks to Boss Shen, if Boss Shen came to me ten... no... five years ago, I would definitely not hesitate.
to serve you.”
"It's a pity that Mr. Zhang is now middle-aged and no longer has this spirit. If I do something wrong and it affects Boss Shen's business, I will be punished by death."
"I would like to pay a toast to Boss Shen today. Zhang Fengnian is deeply grateful for Boss Shen's kindness. He can only repay him in the next life."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
These words made me burst into tears, and it seemed that I was just about to kowtow to Shen Wansan and kneel down, grateful for Shen Wansan's recruitment.
However, no matter how beautifully it is said, it is still rejection.
It was while refusing that he gave Shen Wansan enough face.
As a businessman, it was certainly impossible for Shen Wansan not to understand what Zhang Fengnian meant.
Instead of being angry, he laughed and raised his glass: "It seems that I, Shen Wansan, am not blessed enough to have such a fortune as my brother Fengnian a few years in advance."
Shen Wansan was so free and easy, which made everyone in the restaurant sigh with emotion.
"As expected of Boss Shen, he really has a broad mind."
"Is this Zhang Fengnian stupid? Boss Shen can't even agree to solicitations? If he is asked to take care of something, he will be hundreds of times stronger than he is now."
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions. Now I have to work for myself, which is no better than relying on others."
Half an hour later, a servant-looking man quickly ran into Jufeng Tower.
Panting, he came to Shen Wansan and whispered a few words into his ear.
Shen Wansan waved his hand to show his servant that he was powerful.
He smiled and said to Zhang Fengnian beside him: "Brother Fengnian, I have prepared the money. Let's pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Let's sign the contract now."
"As for the guarantor..." Shen Wansan glanced at Zhou Gushan sideways: "Stop drinking there and come here quickly to be the guarantor."
"Hmph!" Zhou Gushan said with a dark face: "Remember, you owe me three times. If you don't pay me back, you will find someone else to do this in the future."
Although he complained, Zhou Gushan still came to their table.
The reason why they didn't refuse was because this kind of thing was too common for the two of them.
Sometimes Zhou Gushan needs someone of Shen Wansan's level to step forward as his guarantor.
In the business world, two people fight to the death, but in some cases, no one can live without the other.
Zhou Gushan, the guarantor, wrote the contract, and Shen Wansan and Zhang Fengnian were about to sign it.
Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness is here!"
Several guards with armor and stomachs entered the door first, clearing a safe passage for Zhu Han.
After ensuring the safety of Jufeng Tower, Zhu Han walked in at a fast pace.
It's not that he's putting on airs. There are many people in this place, and no one can guarantee that there won't be people with ulterior motives.
In later TV dramas about the Braid Kingdom, those emperors paid private visits incognito, and even ran around the country without any bodyguards. That was the real problem with their brains.
If he is a dignified time traveler and is killed by a few so-called assassins, then he will truly be called a fool.
After Zhu Han appeared, most of the people in Jufeng Tower knelt down in unison.
A chaotic voice sounded: "I have seen the prince thousand years old!"
Zhu Han waved his hand: "Since I'm here, I'm an ordinary citizen like you, so don't be too cautious and get up."
After he spoke, those people dared to stand up.
Zhu Han came to Shen Wansan's table and saw at a glance that Zhou Gushan had just finished writing the contract on the table.
Pretending to be curious, he picked it up and took a look at it, tut-tutting: "Three hundred thousand taels of silver, I say Shen Wansan, you guy is getting richer and richer. You just invested a million taels of silver before, and now you can still do whatever you want."
Just take out three hundred thousand taels casually?"
Shen Wansan couldn't guess Zhu Han's thoughts for a while, so he explained with a smile: "Isn't there nothing I can do? In order to better build the imperial project, I don't dare to neglect it at all."
"The cement formula developed by Zhang Fengnian can effectively increase the strength of cement. It can make the imperial projects more stable. Such a thing will benefit the future, so I will not be stingy about taking money."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Han pretended to be surprised: "Can't you tell that you are quite loyal to the court?"
Shen Wansan immediately put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Your Majesty, without the Ming Dynasty, I, Shen Wansan, would not be where I am today. As long as the Ming Dynasty can prosper forever, even if all the family property is donated to me, Shen Wansan, I, Shen Wansan, will frown.
It won’t even wrinkle.”
"What's more, it's just a mere three hundred thousand taels to buy a court building that I can contract. What's the secret to making it stronger?"
Zhou Gushan deliberately made a gesture of vomiting, and secretly spat: "Bah, you are a sinister villain who knows how to flatter you."
Zhu Han looked at Zhou Gushan again at this time: "And you, why are you just joining in the fun?"
"If you hadn't fought with him, would this formula have been sold for a sky-high price of three hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Zhou Gushan immediately felt aggrieved and defended himself: "Your Majesty, it's not me who wants to rob Shen Wansan, it's him who wants to rob me. I was obviously interested in this recipe first, but he insisted on coming over to get involved.
"
"I also saw the potential of this formula to make the imperial buildings stronger, so I wanted to buy it."
Shen Wansan glared at Zhou Gushan fiercely and cursed silently: "You damn flatterer, how dare you learn from me. I have never seen such a shameless person."
Zhang Fengnian hesitated for a moment and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have a saying that I don't know whether to say or not."
Zhu Han nodded with interest: "Tell me!"
"Prince, Boss Shen, Boss Zhou! The villain was able to obtain this formula, but it was actually just an unintentional act."
"The villain knows very well that this formula is not worth so much money at all. It was Boss Shen and Boss Zhou who paid such a high price because they gave it face."
"Before, the villain always thought that Boss Shen and Boss Zhou also had their own considerations. But I didn't expect that they are both people who understand the righteousness so deeply. This really makes the villain feel ashamed."
After saying that, Zhang Fengnian also gave Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan a fist in the air: "Compared with the two bosses, the villain is really short-sighted. He doesn't even understand that without Ming Dynasty, there would be no businessmen like us."
"So I decided that I will not sell this cement formula. I will learn from Boss Shen and Boss Zhou and put Ming Dynasty first."
"I am willing to donate this formula to the imperial court free of charge, and please accept it, the prince!"
Zhang Fengnian took out a piece of folded letter paper directly from his sleeve pocket and placed it respectfully on the table.
As if he was afraid that Zhu Han wouldn't believe it, he added: "Your Majesty, actually this recipe of villain is nothing, it's just the ratio of cement to coal ash."
"Even if the villain really holds this formula tightly in his hands, it won't take long for others to figure it out as long as they study it."
"This little man's move is just to save the imperial court from walking a few steps. It's nothing."
The entire Jufeng Tower was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
Even Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan looked at Zhang Fengnian in surprise.
In their hearts, their evaluation of Zhang Fengnian suddenly became several points higher.
How much wealth does Zhang Fengnian have?
They had already checked it out clearly.
The previous bidding by both of them may have appeared to others as a result of a fight and reckless bidding.
In fact, both of them were testing each other's bottom line, as well as Zhang Fengnian's bottom line.
It's not that we can't sell more, it's just that if we sell more, this transaction won't be a good deal.
How can a truly qualified businessman harm his own interests because of his personal emotions?
But the more they learned about Zhang Fengnian's family background, the more shocked they were.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver, even they need to be careful about how to get it.
For Zhang Fengnian and others...
This amount of money is enough for them to earn more than ten years of hard work, which is definitely a very huge number.
However, Zhang Fengnian could give up without hesitation.
Just the ability to pick it up and put it down is already remarkable.
This is not what surprised Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan the most.
There are not many people in the world who can decisively give up such a large amount of benefits.
But most of them must be unconvinced when they give up.
It's weird to feel happy if you insist on giving it to others for free even though it's your own thing.
If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, it will naturally show on your face.
And this Zhang Fengnian not only made the relationship a pleasure, but also helped the other person think of the reasons and sent it out in the most comfortable way for the other person.
It's not that you are robbing me, but that I admire you and give it to you gratefully. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me.
Just Zhang Fengnian’s mentality...
Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan quietly exchanged glances, and both saw a look of fear in each other's eyes.
If it were still the past, no matter how talented a person like Zhang Fengnian was, he would not be able to use it.
It's completely different now than before.
Zhu Han ushered the Ming Dynasty into a new era. Those who are truly capable will never be buried.
"Are you really planning to dedicate this secret recipe to the imperial court?" Zhu Han looked at Zhang Fengnian with a half-smile and asked.
He appreciates this guy more and more, and if a man decides to cut it off, he will cut it off.
Since you have chosen to bleed, you naturally want to maximize your profits.
It's not like some people who clearly suffer a loss but don't let others remember their good deeds.
Zhang Fengnian knelt down directly and said, "Please, Your Majesty, grant this little man's heart of fist."
No matter how beautiful Zhang Fengnian's words are, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
This is because the imperial court stole his formula.
Many businessmen cannot help but feel sad. Even though the Meng Yuan Dynasty has been overthrown, their status as businessmen has not changed much from ancient times to the present.
They are still leeks in the eyes of princes and nobles. Whenever you want to eat them, just come and cut them.
Just when the businessmen were depressed, Zhu Han pointed at Zhang Fengnian angrily and said: "Let me tell you what you want to order? They seem to be quite smart, but each one is stupider than the other!"
"Your Majesty taught you a lesson." Zhang Fengnian was unconvinced, but he didn't dare to show it at all.
Zhu Han was a great prince. Although a businessman like him was literate, he was not even a scholar.
In front of the prince, he is not even an ant.
Shen Wansan and Zhou Gushan both felt a little strange. Could it be that Zhu Han took the wrong medicine today?
According to their past experience, His Royal Highness is different from those scholars and does not discriminate against businessmen?
Zhu Han looked at Zhang Fengnian who lowered his head and said nothing, and could think of his current mood with his toes.
If it were him, he would be scolded for no reason.
Why do you care about this bullshit prince? He just yelled back.
Snapped!
Zhu Han took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the table.
"First read clearly what is written here, then sign your name after reading it."
The muscles on Zhang Fengnian's face twitched twice, and he forced a smile and said: "Don't look at it, I believe that you will not let us people suffer."
"You can read as long as I tell you. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you dare to read less, I will peel off your skin."
Zhu Han's current moral character is matched by Zhang Fengnian, who has a low eyebrow and a submissive attitude next to him.
Many people can't help but think of the model play "The White-Haired Girl" created by Zhu Han.
Zhu Han, His Royal Highness, who once sought welfare for the people, has indeed fallen.
It can't help but make people sigh.
Zhang Fengnian's hands were trembling, and the thin piece of paper seemed to be of great weight at this moment.
But after only reading the first line, Zhang Fengnian was stunned and subconsciously read: "Ming Dynasty Patent Certificate."
Things seemed a little different from what he thought.
