"Business is business, don't talk about feelings!" This is a very classic saying in later generations, and it was even used as a motto by Ye An, especially for his business in Tokyo.
This is a very purposeful sentence, and it can even be said to completely expose the nature of capital, but one thing cannot be ignored. Business is done by people, and individuals will have feelings. When there are feelings, there will be flaws and flaws.
weakness.
Ye An believed that he could not completely abandon his feelings to do business, so he lost the ability to fight back under Roxana's tears, but the reason was that he had taken the initiative.
Buying a few more carts of cotton was nothing to him. The only flaw was that it violated his original intention.
One thousand three hundred coins, this is not a small amount of money. Although it is just a drop in the bucket for Ye An now, once the price is set, what will happen next?!
Buying and selling cotton is not a simple business, and even buying and selling any production raw materials is not a one-time deal for a company. The ancients' respect for contracts has reached a very persistent level.
The so-called spirit of contract originated from the ancient Han civilization. Most of the commitments between people can only be made through contracts or even verbal invitations.
People's awareness of contract fulfillment is very strong, and has even risen to the level of values and character.
Duke Wen of Jin was not greedy for profit from cutting down the plains. Zengzi killed pigs and promised a large sum of money. He even went so far as to hold a pillar in the water and die for the fool "Wei Sheng" just for a promise to wait for a woman to meet.
Ye An has now agreed to Rosanna's request and bought these carts of cotton at a price of 1,300 guan. What will happen next? Even if the price can be lowered, how much can it be lowered after learning from past mistakes?
At that time, Rosanna only needs to mobilize merchants from the Western Regions to publicize Ye An's price-lowering behavior in the market. In the end, it is not only Rosanna herself who will be damaged, but also the goodwill of Ye An and the entire Puhui Company!
But now that I have agreed, if I go back on my word again, I will dig my own grave, and I am afraid that I will have no credibility in the Song Dynasty from now on.
Although she was tricked by Rosanna, Ye An still felt pity for her, especially after knowing where the money she earned ended up going, Ye An felt that even if she was tricked, he would be embarrassed to retaliate.
I don't know if she saw the pity in Ye An's eyes, but Roxana's eyes seemed to have fallen into the sand, and for a while, tears could not be suppressed and slid down her delicate cheeks.
This time there were no heart-rending wails or loud curses, just a sad soul and a woman crying silently.
Bayi didn't know how to comfort his little master. Since arriving in the Song Dynasty, this noble princess had never smiled again. Even if she had a bright smile, it was just the biggest cover-up of sadness.
No matter how much wealth she brings to the Song Dynasty, no matter how much wealth she earns from the Song Dynasty, all of it will eventually go into the pockets of the party members.
This is the sorrow of Gaochang City and the sorrow of the Uighurs in the entire Western Region.
Seeing Roxana crying quietly, Bayi's eyes began to look at Ye An fiercely, as if everything was caused by Ye An...
"This matter has nothing to do with me, or even the Song Dynasty. Don't look at me like that, fat man. It was the Dangxiang people who caused all this. Of course, it has something to do with the divisions among you Uighurs, isn't it?"
Ye An's words made Bayi even more angry, and he said angrily: "If it weren't for the heavy troops stationed by the Song Dynasty and the border troops, the party members would be on tenterhooks..."
"If your head doesn't work, don't speak. Come on, let me see if there is any evil in your head. How can you say such stupid things? Oh, I, the Song Dynasty, are on guard against Dangxiang people, so Dangxiang
It's the Song Dynasty's fault that people go westward to use troops? What kind of fucking bandit logic is this? If you repel the Dangxiang people and the Dangxiang people start to go south, I, the Song Dynasty, will still look for you Uighurs from the Western Regions, right?!
"
Rosanna did not refute, but stopped crying and looked at Ye An, and said sincerely: "I wonder if Ye Hou has a way for me, Gao Chang, to save the day? I don't have to worry about the conquests of the party members all day long."
"I don't have the ability to change my destiny against the odds. You can either fight to the death with the Dangxiang people, or you can only lie down and be ravaged by others. As for relying on doing business in the Song Dynasty to make money to support the Dangxiang people, this method is the same.
Of course, if the party members take the initiative to put out the fire with salary, it will be their plan to eliminate Guo through false means."
"Is it like what the Song people are doing in Huanzhou now?"
Under the dim light, Rosanna's eyes were very bright, so bright that Ye An didn't even dare to look directly at her: "I don't know what you, little girl, are talking about. It's already late..."
Seeing Ye An preparing to slip into the carriage, Rosanna even raised her figure and said: "Aren't you just trying to use the purpose of dealing with the party members to divide the Xiqiang tribes? This is equivalent to telling the Xiqiang tribes that the Song Dynasty will not use heavy troops to conquer
As long as they are honest, the Song Dynasty will treat Dang Xiang as an enemy!"
"The affairs of the country are related to military aircraft. How can a little girl like you be allowed to talk and speculate at will?! If this news leaks out even a little bit, from now on the Uighurs will no longer be able to earn even a small amount of money in our Song Dynasty!
"
Ye An was not surprised and was even a little lucky that Rosanna could think of this on her own. The best way to destroy Guo was Ye An's best idea, but who was the one who was trying to kill Guo, and he couldn't tell who it was.
Rosanna's guess also confirmed Ye An's hypothesis. This is a psychological effect proposed by Qin Mumu. People will unconsciously imagine conspiracy theories, but the results will often move closer to what they think is reasonable.
News of the Huanzhou Rebellion and the Song Dynasty's attitude towards the Xiqiang people had already spread to the distant border states. This subconscious spread was very fast, so Rosanna's speculation was also reasonable.
But this is also true as the saying goes that a slight difference can make a difference a thousand miles.
Ye An got on the carriage and was unwilling to get out, but who knew that Rosanna also jumped on the carriage under Bayi's surprised eyes. He did not expect that his little master would do such an outrageous thing.
Even in the Western Region with open folk customs, it is rare for a man or woman to be alone in a room, but there are quite a few who show love to each other on the street...
"Hey!? What are you doing? It's broad daylight... I don't want to commit myself to you this late at night!"
Roxana looked at Ye An protecting her shoulders, and felt aggrieved in her heart, but she said stubbornly: "I am a woman who is not afraid of staining her innocence, but you, a dignified founding prince, are you afraid? Oh! By the way, I heard that Ye Hou is afraid of guilt.
, the first wife at home is a woman who is not inferior to men, so why worry about a fire in the backyard?"
Ye An helplessly put down his hands and shrugged: "You are a little different. In some aspects, I admire you. You have shouldered many responsibilities that should not be yours alone. Maybe you can also do well in the Song Dynasty.
In the future...oh, it's impossible for you to stay in the Song Dynasty."
Rosanna's beautiful eyes moved: "So Ye Hou plans to take in the little girl?"
