Wu Ang naturally knew what Ning Chen meant by 'miserable'.
Wu Ang did not answer immediately, but took another sip of the cup of [Humble Room].
"This seems different from what is sold on the market." Wu Ang asked Ning Chen while holding the wine glass.
Ning Chen nodded and said: "This is a collector's edition, which is the high-end among high-end.
When we do business, we must meet requirements at all levels.
Rich people just want to be different,
So we have to grasp their psychology,
Give them differentiated services.”
Many of the words Ning Chen said were very new to Wu Ang.
But Wu Ang is a senior businessman after all, so if you think about it deeply, you will understand the connotation of these words.
"The words 'differentiated services' you mentioned really describe some of the core things in business."
After a pause, Wu Ang seemed to have just thought of the question Ning Chen had just asked and said:
"By the way, you just said that us princes are a bit miserable, right?"
Ning Chen nodded.
Wu Ang savored the taste of wine in his mouth and then said:
"It's miserable or not,
I think it's similar to the differentiated services you mentioned.
You look miserable to us, that's because you have reached this level.
And not only did you see us being miserable, you also dared to laugh at us directly in front of us.
Try someone else.
Even if the people below see us miserable,
They would never dare to say it to our faces.
Although we cannot kill the nine tribes casually,
But the Yi tribe,
It’s still a piece of cake for us.”
After a pause, Wu Ang continued: "And you think, someone is worthy of us personally going out and planning.
That must be an existence on the same level as us,
Even beings on a higher level than us.
For a peddler's pawn,
Do you think we'll end up in person?
So when we go off in person,
You can expect that the next step may be very embarrassing and the result will be tragic.”
Suddenly thinking of something, Wu Ang added: "Except for people like my fifth brother.
As a direct prince, he personally went out to plan several princes and kings with different surnames.
I'm not ashamed to say it, and I think I'm doing a very good job.
I think my fourth sister has been beating him up as a commoner, so she probably thinks he is too embarrassed."
Ning Chen took over the conversation and said: "So tonight's game.
Mainly aimed at my teacher, I was just passing by?"
Wu Ang nodded: "Yes, tonight's game is indeed aimed at Master Kong.
That's why my third brother ended up personally.
This is also to show respect for Master Kong.
After all, Master Kong was the most powerful leftist prime minister in the history of the Wu Dynasty.
Ranked among the top ten Confucians and Taoists in the world.
The person most likely to aspire to the Holy Path.
Let’s not talk about the latter two, let’s talk about the time when Master Kong was the left prime minister.
The drastic reform of the imperial court directly laid the foundation for the late emperor's victory in the Northern Expedition.
Many people believe that the reason why the late emperor was able to conquer the capital of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom is the reason why.
It was because Marquis Dingguo was very powerful in his army.
But I think Master Kong is the most powerful.
Without Master Kong sitting at the rear, strategizing and allocating resources.
Marquis Dingguo and the others probably won’t even be able to eat.”
After Wu Ang finished boasting about Kong Jijiu, Ning Chen spoke:
"You admire my teacher so much.
So he took his most beloved close disciple,
Introduced into the game as a chess piece."
Wu Ang’s question to Ning Chen was not embarrassing at all:
"Brother Ning, you can't blame me for this.
Even if I don't lead you there, my third brother will find a way to lead you there.
With my third brother's temperament, he won't be as gentle as me."
Seeing that Ning Chen was silent, Wu Ang took another sip of wine and said:
"Brother Ning, I don't think you need to feel uncomfortable about this matter.
Who hasn’t become a chess player step by step from a chess piece?
Even I am the same, and I don’t know yet.
Am I still just a pawn on someone's chessboard?"
Ning Chen took a look at Wu Ang, who was trying to reason with him as a close brother and someone who had come before him:
"What I don't think about anymore is why I became a pawn.
It’s better to be on the chessboard than not even seeing the chessboard.”
Wu Ang nodded: "Brother Ning, it's great that you have such a character, but why is Brother Ning still frowning?"
Ning Chen looked at Wu Ang and said, "I was just thinking,
You black man,
He keeps getting closer to me, a white guy.
And paint yourself white,
Why are you deliberately trying to get close to a white guy like me?"
Wu Ang didn't expect Ning Chen to be so calm and rational.
Wu Ang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Ning would see through my disguise so easily. Then I'll tell the truth."
Ning Chen looked at Wu Ang leisurely, waiting for Wu Ang's truth.
"I hope that Brother Ning, when you plan the reward, you can reward me a little less. I think I'm pretty good as I am now."
After listening to Wu Ang's words, Ning Chen held down the jug that Wu Ang was about to pour wine into: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, you are not sincere when you say that."
The jug was held down, Wu Ang shook his head again and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I still couldn't cover Brother Ning. Let's be honest."
Ning Chen waited for Wu Ang's truth again.
"Brother Ning, I don't understand why the Zhu family chose to attack you in the end.
Normally, you kill the person the Zhu family sent to you to kill.
This matter should be considered over.
But the Zhu family actually chose to take action against you in the end.
If they do this, they will offend Kong Jijiu and my third brother at the same time.
In my opinion, this is a completely uneconomical deal.
Everyone has a tacit understanding, and there are disputes between juniors.
The junior can just solve it by himself, or even take action to save people.
Brother Ning, I have murderous intentions for you because of a person who is willing to die.
This is completely unreasonable.
And that was a fourth-grade scholar.
Even if the Zhu family is a semi-holy family, its glory is in the past.
How many fourth-grade scholars are there in the Zhu family now?
For the sake of Brother Ning, I would rather exchange it for a fourth-grade scholar.
I really didn't understand this point.
But I didn't understand it, so I could only explain it.
At my level, I still can’t see your true value, Brother Ning.
A person who can make a fourth-grade scholar even risk his life to kill him,
That is definitely something I cannot offend easily.
So why don’t I come here overnight to apologize?”
This is the truth.
In fact, Ning Chen had also thought about this question. Why did a fourth-grade scholar suddenly have murderous intentions towards him?
Ning Chen actually had an answer in his mind, but Ning Chen wasn't sure if it was right or not.
But seeing Kong Jijiu chasing him for thousands of miles, Ning Chen felt that his guess was probably right.
The poems of Shixian are soaring to the sky.
The blocking of the Lifestone was slightly loosened.
People who are far away and those with low cultivation level may not be able to sense it.
But he is close to me and at the same time he has a high level of cultivation.
There is definitely a high probability that he will sense the opening of the military path.
Only in this way can we explain why a fourth-grade scholar suddenly wanted to kill him.
Kong Jijiu and the others were no longer able to deal with them, and Ning Chen, who independently opened the Holy Path, appeared.
They really have no hope of revenge.
So if you can nip yourself in the bud, that's naturally the best.
Even if you can't, you might as well take the news back.
It's just that he obviously underestimated Kong Jijiu's strength.
In the end, the man was not killed, and he even confessed.
"Brother Ning, you thought about the fourth-grade scholar of the Zhu family, so why do you have to kill you?" Wu Ang asked tentatively.
"You have to ask the dead fourth-grade scholar about this question.
I'm more curious than you are about why he wanted to kill me." Ning Chen replied.
"I saw that Brother Ning was silent just now. I thought, Brother Ning, what did you think of?" Wu Ang continued to test Ning Chen.
Ning Chen looked at Wu Ang and said, "Don't you know what I'm thinking?"
Wu Ang looked puzzled: "Brother Ning, you just made me confused."
"Do you only apologize with your mouth?
We are all businessmen, you should know how to soothe the wounded heart of a businessman." Ning Chen reminded Wu Ang.
"I'm confused. I've thought about this a long time ago. What does Brother Ning think of Lanxiang Pavilion?"
Ning Chen directly shook his head at Wu Ang's suggestion.
Ning Chen actually refused, which puzzled Wu Ang.
"Brother Ning, even though Lanxiang Pavilion's annual income, more than half of it is taken away by my Fourth Imperial Sister.
Some of it is used for various management, but the remaining income is more than 100,000 taels a year."
Ning Chen shook his head: "It's not about money."
Wu Ang was even more puzzled.
"Think about it, you gave Lanxiang Pavilion to me.
I will get tired of spending money in Lanxiang Pavilion in the future and spend money elsewhere.
Is this a wasteful behavior?
Do you think I can feel comfortable mentally?
I feel uncomfortable, can I have fun?"
Wu Ang:╭(⊙o⊙)╮
After adjusting his mood, Wu Ang said: "I'm not thinking clearly. How about I add another one million taels or four million taels to invest in the winery."
"Good brothers, let's drink to our happy cooperation." Ning Chen raised his glass and said directly.
Wu Ang clinked glasses with Ning Chen, and then they both drank.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that Lanxiang Pavilion is your property before.
I always thought that Lanxiang Pavilion was a place used by His Highness Wu Zhao to collect intelligence?"
After drinking a glass of wine, Ning Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Ang said: "Actually, it's not just you who thinks so, I think many people may think so.
But this means they don’t understand my royal sister.
My royal sister is also a woman.
And she is the first woman in history who plans to become emperor.
How could she be willing to use such means to collect intelligence?
The reason why I am willing is to let Sister Huang take most of the profits.
I also hope that the imperial sister will not investigate Lanxiang Pavilion in depth.
But it doesn’t matter whether we investigate or not now, Lanxiang Pavilion has been exposed."
Ning Chen didn't expect that Wu Ang knew Wu Zhao quite well.
To be honest, Ning Chen didn't expect Wu Zhao to mind using methods like Lanxiang Pavilion to collect intelligence.
"Then what are you going to do with Lanxiang Pavilion next? Transfer it to someone else?" Ning Chen asked casually.
Wu Ang shook his head directly: "How could it be possible to give it to others.
Even if Lanxiang Pavilion can no longer collect intelligence.
But an income of more than 100,000 taels a year is still not small.
Moreover, with your troubles, Brother Jingning, the reputation of Lanxiang Pavilion will definitely increase.
This year's income may exceed 200,000 taels.
Am I stupid if I give away so much money to others?"
Ning Chen looked at Wu Ang and said, "I think you are more interested in becoming a merchant than becoming an emperor."
Wu Ang sighed and said: "Brother Ning, you just said that we are miserable.
In fact, we are really miserable.
embarked on this road to fight for the king,
Then there is really no turning back.
Especially when I'm the last one,
Was made a prince,
Sent to the north.
When I went to the North, the reception was the worst.
Moreover, most of the forces in the north are divided between my two brothers.
What can I do?
You have to find a way to leave yourself more escape routes.
So this emperor, I can sit down if I can.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t sit on it, I don’t even have a way out.”
Looking at Wu Ang who was sighing, Ning Chen said, "So you want to be the second Prince Jing of the Wu Dynasty?"
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Ang's eyes, which had been looking a little lazy, suddenly froze.
The pupils narrowed significantly.
But before any expression appeared on his face,
All the emotions just disappeared.
Then Wu Ang smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother Ning, the Wu Dynasty can only have one Prince Jing.
I just want to save money.
I never thought about becoming Prince Jing,
I just want to remain independent.
Whoever becomes emperor in the future, I will fully support him."
After hearing Wu Ang's words, Ning Chen said teasingly: "It's really miserable for you to be like this.
I don't even dare to tell the complete truth in front of outsiders.
If this is how you can become a dynasty,
I don’t think it’s interesting anymore.”
Wu Ang didn't care about Ning Chen's teasing, but said to Ning Chen:
"Brother Ning, you have really underestimated the attractiveness of that chair.
Don't look at how miserable we are now.
But it really made me the emperor.
It's nothing to be miserable now.
It can all be replenished in one day.
Let’s just say my father.
Before he became the current saint, he was even worse than me.
Not even a prince, not even his own fief.
But look how my father is doing now?
Everyone said that my father was fatuous and had harmed the country.
But my father used all the power of the world to practice the method of immortality.
The speed of cultivation is about the same, not to mention a thousand miles a day.
After a few hundred years,
Those who say that my father died in a coma and harmed the country.
All turned into dust, who can still remember them.
What's more, my father is as stupid as they think."
When Wu Ang said this, he drank the remaining wine in the cup and said:
"Drinking too much, drinking too much. Talking nonsense again.
Brother Ning, we are now partners.
You won’t take my words and say them everywhere.”
Ning Chen said: "Send over the four million taels first, and then I will consider whether to go outside and talk about it."
Wu Ang smiled and said, "Brother Ning, is he so realistic?"
"Then between me and four million taels, which one do you choose?" Ning Chen asked.
"Four million taels!" Wu Ang said without hesitation.
After finishing speaking, Wu Ang and Ning Chen looked at each other and laughed.
Then the two people started talking nonsense.
Wu Ang told Ning Chen a lot about the situation in the north.
Ning Chen told Wu Ang a lot about the situation in heaven and earth.
This made Wu Ang's eyes light up.
Wu Ang felt that he had found a new growth point for Lanxiang Pavilion.
Wu Ang stayed at Ning Chen's house that night.
This is also to show Wu Ang's absolute trust in Ning Chen.
Of course, Ning Chen would not be stupid enough to kill a prince in broad daylight.
It’s just the news and four million taels that Wu Ang brought to him today,
