"Boss Xiao Selang. Is this your real name?" Mrs. Chai seemed not to believe the name Meng Xinghe said. She asked in a rather gentle tone.
"It's as good as it is true. Children are innocent." Meng Xinghe patted his chest and said.
"Ha...ha...haha..." Mrs. Chai laughed intermittently. It seemed that there was a lot of unspeakable pain in her heart. She glanced at her beautiful eyes, which was quite sad. She moved her shadow and said: "Hou Men Once you enter, you are as deep as the sea. From now on, Mr. Xiao is like a stranger." Mrs. Chai thought to herself. She slowly walked out of the door alone. Before leaving, she did not forget to glance at Meng Xinghe. She seemed to have something to say.
Meng Xinghe was not in the mood to think about what Mrs. Chai said. After Mr. Chai sent Mrs. Chai away, he returned to the house. Mr. Chai couldn't wait to ask: "Third brother, why did you refuse Mrs. Chai's cooperation just now? If you don't spend a day By dividing our efforts, we can get twice the profit. No matter how we calculate this deal, we will not suffer a loss."
What Mr. Chai said is right. According to his analysis, if he agreed to cooperate with Mrs. Chai, it would be like sitting in the room counting money. This is indeed a good thing. But Mr. Chai only saw the huge profits in front of him. How did he know that Mrs. Chai proposed Cooperation. In fact, she wanted to annex his Laibai products. But she didn't propose it in person. This kind of cooperation is like a valuation transaction. Even if she suffers a little loss now, it won't hinder her big things. Later, she will gradually control all Laibai products. Production methods and sales. Let's talk about profits when the time comes. Maybe she can just let her bargain at will. And she doesn't dare to say a word. That's why Meng Xinghe made an appropriate analogy. He joked about letting Mrs. Chai serve him. Such jokes and valuation transactions It's exactly the same truth. It's just a different way of expressing it. This kind of loss of the right to independently control one's own products is like a rope trapped in the arms invisibly. If you are not careful, your whole body will be bound.
First, he prepared to set up the Roushui Alliance to squeeze himself out and create so-called difficulties. Then he took the opportunity to acquire and merge his laundering company. Mrs. Chai's plan was louder. Meng Xinghe did not hide it in front of Mr. Chai. After all the methods were revealed, Mr. Chai's eyes suddenly shone. He secretly sighed that this woman was unusual. She had too much desire to conquer. For this reason, Meng Xinghe had to stop and said: "Second brother, how much do you know about the Bai family."
"You mean the Bai family in Dongdu." Mr. Chai put away his thoughts on Mrs. Chai and said lightly: "I don't know much about it. Originally, I was going to Dongdu this time to solve the affairs of the Yanshui Alliance. I didn't know there was something delayed. First, I don't know. I arrived in Chang'an, so I haven't conducted an in-depth investigation yet. However, I heard the news from the store in Dongdu. The Bai family is not a good person. I heard that it has some relationship with the Dongdu government office. Could it be that the third brother wants to touch the Bai family."
When Chai Shao said that he wanted to move, he actually had two meanings. One was to fight against each other openly, and the other was to clear up the relationship. Let's make friends. But Chai Shao didn't know Meng Xinghe's thoughts. It all depends on how he plans to move.
Meng Xinghe was not reckless. He said calmly: "Second brother, how about we cooperate with the Bai family?"
Mr. Chai listens to Meng Xinghe's decision in everything. He said happily: "What the third brother said is definitely true. Although the Bai family is not as wealthy as Chai Na, they are not young people. We can cooperate with them and we can all benefit from each other." Chai Xiao said with a smile. He actually had another idea in mind, which was to conquer Mrs. Chai. Men are very strong. Especially men like Mr. Chai who are determined to go into business. They have a strong desire for smart and capable women. Conquering desire. This is his secret. Cooperating with the Bai family just fulfilled his wish.
Hearing Master Chai's answer, Meng Xinghe felt confident. Without further ado, Meng Xinghe said, "Then let's go to Dongdu now."
Although Young Master Chai was concerned about business matters, he was more concerned about Meng Xinghe's career. When he heard that he was going to the Eastern Capital, Young Master Chai immediately objected: "Just let me handle such a small matter. I can't delay your studies. Otherwise, your second brother and I will go back to Jiangdu, and your third brother and those would-be wives are afraid that they will torture me to death."
What Young Master Chai said was pitiful. Meng Xinghe was deeply moved. He knew that Young Master Chai was thinking about him. He also wanted to let go completely. But today, when he met Mrs. Chai for the first time, he saw how powerful she is. I am afraid that the Bai family in Dongdu is not the same. Shanlei. Otherwise, he would not have been in a stalemate with the Chai family for several years. Meng Xinghe was not at ease no matter what. He said firmly: "Second brother, don't worry too much. As long as the horse power is fast, we can go back and forth from Chang'an to Dongdu in less than seven days. We Solve this matter as soon as possible so that you can have peace of mind in the future.”
After thinking about it, Mr. Chai also felt that what Meng Xinghe said was reasonable. If something unexpected happened during Meng Xinghe's scientific examination and affected his exam, it would really be worth the loss. So, Mr. Chai did not refuse and quickly packed his luggage. He and Meng Xinghe left Gaosheng Inn.
Before going to Jiangdu to find the Bai family, Meng Xinghe brought Mr. Chai to Hanmo Yuxiang. The day before yesterday, shopkeeper Wang sent someone to deliver a letter. He was willing to cooperate with Meng Xinghe's laundering. And it was a 30-70 split. Meng Xinghe had already agreed on this I guessed that he would answer yes. Even if it is divided into 28 cents, shopkeeper Wang can still make a lot of money. Why doesn't he do this kind of thing where he only rents out a store and counts the money in vain?
Stepping into the door of Hanmo Yuxiang, shopkeeper Wang was not there. Standing in front of the counter were his daughter and nephew Jiang Yefeng.
Because he was in a hurry, Meng Xinghe went directly to Jiang Yefeng. He knew that Jiang Yefeng often went to Dongdu to buy rouge and gouache and was more familiar with it than he and Master Chai. Meng Xinghe simply asked him to be his guide and said, "Boss Jiang and shopkeeper Wang are here. "
Although Meng Xinghe only called him "boss", Jiang Yefeng was sweet in his heart. He had lived at his uncle's house for a long time. Others called him "Master Jiang" and did not call him "boss". This is a manifestation of his birth status. Meng Xinghe can make him As the boss of Hanmo Yuxiang, at least in Jiang Yefeng's eyes, it was a message. That is, this Hanmo Yuxiang must be his own in the future.
"Uncle is not here. What are your orders, Mr. Meng?" Jiang Yefeng greeted Meng Xinghe's arrival very respectfully. Shopkeeper Wang's daughter also knew the ways of the world and soon brought hot tea.
Shopkeeper Wang is not here. That would be easier. Meng Xinghe took the hot tea from Miss Wang, held it in his hand, took a sip and said, "Boss Jiang, how is Hanmo Yuxiang's business lately?"
"Spring and summer are the peak seasons. Customers come to the shop from morning to night. But many customers come for Meng Gongzi's whitewashed products. The shop has not yet officially opened on a large scale. Every day only I can sell a small amount, but my uncle asked cousin Qiaolian to record the profits earned in the account book so that he can share the dividends with Mr. Meng in the future."
When Meng Xinghe asked about the business, Jiang Yefeng thought he was here to see the accounts. He explained the process of selling Hanmo Yuxiang in detail, with an extremely respectful expression.
Meng Xinghe was unintentional at first, but he asked for some other information. It seems that shopkeeper Wang is also an honest person. He asked his daughter Wang Qiaolian to personally take charge of the business cooperation with Meng Xinghe. This was done quite satisfactorily. However, Meng Xinghe was not interested. Therefore, Jiang Yefeng said that it was the peak season now. He couldn't take away the people in Hanmo Yuxiang by force. He had to tactfully say: "Boss Jiang, I don't know if you have anything important to do in the past few days. I would like to ask you to help with something." matter."
"Um..." Jiang Yefeng spoke a little slowly. He didn't know what Meng Xinghe wanted to do. But he couldn't directly damage Meng Xinghe's face. He glanced at his cousin beside him and said calmly: "There is nothing important. But my uncle is not here. Hanmo Yuxiang is only looked after by my cousin Qiaolian. I don’t feel at ease.”
Jiang Yefeng did not refuse directly. But in his words, he revealed to Meng Xinghe that he was inconvenient to leave Hanmo Yuxiang.
This kid doesn't know how to praise. If you were in Jiangdu, I would have asked the Dragon Gang's boys to chop you up. Mr. Chai snorted coldly and turned his head disdainfully. Meng Xinghe also wanted to be angry. But after all, he He and Mr. Chai are not very familiar with the gouache market in Dongdu. They have no way to find anyone to contact. But Jiang Yefeng is different. He often walks around Dongdu. Not to mention how many famous people he knows. At least he is better than him and Mr. Chai. Meng Xinghe's expression was not humble at all. It could be said to be an indifferent attitude. He said calmly: "Delay Young Master Jiang for seven days. If you can, you can leave with us immediately. If not, I won't force you. But in the future Mr. Jiang, if you need Meng Xinghe’s help for something, please don’t say that I won’t give you face.”
Jiang Yefeng heard many changes in Meng Xinghe's words. From Boss Jiang to Mr. Jiang. Based on this, Jiang Yefeng also knew that he had seen through his own thoughts. If he offended Meng Xinghe, then he would incite it to his uncle. Huo. Brothers are still clear about settling accounts, let alone uncles and nephews. The relationship is even more complicated and subtle. You have to be careful. Jiang Yefeng did not dare to offend Meng Xinghe. He could only ask: "I don't know what Mr. Meng is talking about. If you can help me, .Ye Feng will never give up even if he dies."
These words are so heart-warming. It seems that people need to be threatened appropriately before they can truly be honest with each other.
Meng Xinghe no longer concealed anything and said decisively: "Boss Jiang will go back and clean up first. After a stick of incense, we will meet on the white jade bridge in front of Hanmo Yuxiang Gate. Then we will go to Dongdu to do something."
"No problem..." Jiang Yefeng answered very readily. He had already turned around to pack his luggage for the trip.
