"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.
Whether I can earn enough profits here does not depend on how capable I, Crich, am.
Rather, it depends on whether I can have long-term cooperation with those caravans from your Dalong Celestial Empire and whether I can maintain sufficient supply of goods.
It is precisely because I understand this clearly in my heart that I have always been cautious when dealing with the family owners from your Dalong caravan.
I was afraid that my words and deeds would be offensive in some way or that they would be unhappy.
Mr. Liu, I can tell you frankly with my conscience in mind.
When I, Krich, talked about cooperation with those caravan families, I had really given up the maximum profit.
Let's put it this way, the benefits that I, Krich, want to earn are only the benefits that I deserve.
Rather than deceiving the caravans from Mr. Liu and your Dalong Dynasty, and squeezing the interests of the people who buy various goods from our shops.
From my ancestors to the next generation, our family has been business-oriented for generations.
It is precisely because of this that I feel particularly clear in my heart.
A sudden huge profit cannot be counted as any profit at all.
Such profits may allow you to earn a lot of money at once, but at the same time, it will also cause you to lose your reputation invisibly.
Therefore, this kind of business cannot be sustained for a long time.
The most correct approach is to be patient and treat the people who supply you goods with a clear conscience, as well as the people who are willing to buy goods from your shops.
I, Cliff, would never act unconscionably to earn money that should not belong to me.
As a result, I have clearly given my sincerity here.
However, those families from the small caravan of your Great Dragon Celestial Empire are still unwilling to believe me and cooperate with me."
As Krich spoke, a self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hehehe, Mr. Liu, some things are really hard to say!"
Liu Mingzhi turned around and blew out the smoke from his mouth, and looked at Krich with eyes filled with tears.
"Brother Creech, we won't say more about the past events that have passed.
I have a new way of cooperation here, young master. I wonder if you would like to hear it?"
"Mr. Liu, please tell me. I am all ears."
"Brother Crich, this is what I think of the way we cooperate..."
"..."
The sun outside the temple is gradually going west.
Time passed by quietly like a fleeting moment.
As Young Master Liu, Song Qing, and Zhang Kuang Krich exchanged cups, the cooperation method between Young Master Liu and Krich was finally officially finalized.
As for the specific methods they discussed, only they themselves know.
Outside the palace gate.
Liu Mingzhi waved the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand with a drunken look on his face. He looked at Krich who also looked drunk and hugged him happily.
"Brother Creech, regarding the specific cooperation matters we mentioned earlier.
In three days at most, I will send someone from my side to negotiate with you in detail.
It's getting late, so I won't let you stay.
Brother Krich, you should go back and rest early, please forgive me for seeing him off so far."
Krich immediately broke away from the support of his good daughter Krich, and returned a salute to Young Master Liu with a smile on his face.
With your words, Mr. Liu, I have nothing to worry about.
Mr. Liu, I'm waiting for good news.
If you take a rest early, I'll take my leave first."
"Hahaha, see you later."
"Hahaha, see you later."
As soon as Krich finished speaking, mother and daughter Amina and Krich hurriedly helped Krich's hands.
"Husband, go this way."
"Dad, watch your steps."
Immediately, Amina mother and daughter hurriedly nodded to Young Master Liu.
"Mr. Liu, please forgive me for not being able to salute you."
"Uncle Liu, I hope you won't be offended by my daughter's rudeness."
Liu Mingzhi nodded happily and waved his hand casually.
"Hahaha, walk slowly, walk slowly."
"The women of the common people will retire first."
"Uncle Liu, my daughter will leave first."
The little cutie took a long breath with her mouth slightly open, and waved to Kriike with a smile on her face.
"Sister Yike, when you are free, come to my place to play often."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, Iko."
After the three figures of the Krich family gradually disappeared, Qi Yun walked to the side of Young Master Liu and stopped.
"Husband."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and turned around to glance at the beauty standing next to him, and waved happily to Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Xiao Kaitai and others.
"Uncle, eldest brother, Yue'er, we have nothing to do with you here. You should go back early."
"Yes, veteran, I'm resigning."
"Okay, brother, let's go back and rest first."
"Dirty daddy, mother, Yue'er will go back first."
Under Young Master Liu's smiling gaze, Little Cutie and his group dispersed towards their own residences.
Qi Yun retracted her gaze as she watched the figures gradually move away, and hurriedly raised a pair of jade hands to support Young Master Liu's arm.
"Husband, how are you? Have you drunk too much?"
Liu Mingzhi casually closed the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan in his hand, smiled lightly and turned to look at Qi Yun who was looking at him with worried eyes and gently shook his head.
"Hahaha, silly Yun'er, you only order so much wine. As a husband, I can only drink too much!"
Qi Yun listened to her husband's reply, looked at his sudden change in expression, and nodded her head a few times with a smile on her face.
"Keke, it's okay if you don't drink too much, it's okay if you don't drink too much.
Husband, I have something I don’t know whether to say or not.”
"Silly Yun'er, it doesn't matter if you just say it."
"Husband, I still have the same problem as I did a month ago.
No matter how good Kerridge is, he can never change the fact that he is a barbarian.
Husband, do you really plan to reuse him?"
Liu Mingzhi sighed softly, and his fingers began to wander randomly on the surface of the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan.
"Oh, Yun'er."
"Hey, I am here, husband?"
"Yun'er, as my husband, I dare not even reuse Wei Yong.
Looking at the whole world, is there anyone I wouldn’t dare to use as my husband?”
"Husband!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and grasped Qi Yun's white and tender wrist tightly, then nodded slightly and kissed Qi Yun's forehead.
"Yun'er, the world is like a chess game.
The chess game is the way of layout.
In this chess game, no one can become a pawn in my hands." ()
