Chapter 103 Cooperation (fifth update, ask for a monthly pass)

In a private room on the third floor of Guanxing Building, Xu Guogong sat there with his brows furrowed, thinking about something.

Who is Wang Kuo?Xu Guogong has also heard of it, of course, this is a man who is about to be scolded like a dog by civil officials.

But the problem is, not only does this have nothing to do with him, he also doesn't want to know this person, let alone have any interaction with him.

If it is said that the only thing Wang Kuo can put his eyes on is the business under his hands.

Such as soap, perfume, liquor and tea.

To be precise, he is not only eye-catching, he is also very jealous, even jealous, so in the past few months, he has been sending people to inquire about its production formula and let people do their own research, etc. .

However, there is no such thing as technology in this era. If there is, one stays in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the other stays in the period before and after liberation.

If you can't get to the bottom of it, just ask around, but when the dozen or so people he sent out didn't sneak into Wang Kuo's workshops, he knew he had no chance.

"What can he do with me as the envoy of Jinyiwei Town? He won't want to cooperate with me and let me do his business, right?"

Gently took a sip of tea, let's talk, not to mention the taste of this tea is good, although it is expensive, but there is a reason why it is expensive, otherwise, how could it be possible to directly let the big cities in the capital in a few months? All the restaurants have changed to this kind of tea?

And also broke into the family of princes and generals?Become one of the refreshments for entertaining distinguished guests?

However, he wanted to think about it, but he didn't think Wang Kuo would have such kindness. After all, if he could have such a golden mountain of business, he would not give it to others.

Then what else could he do if he came to find him?

Normally, Xu Guogong promised to refuse this kind of invitation without hesitation, but he can't do it now, because he was also a little scared by the actions of the recent Jin Yiwei.

In short, although he is the Duke of the country, how can he really do business so smoothly?Which primitive accumulation is not stained?
So it's not a good thing to be invited by a high-level Jinyiwei during this period of time, but fortunately, he didn't come to arrest people directly.

But no matter what, he dared not refuse.

"Hey, these bastards, I'm sure I'm doing business, are you going to trouble me too?"

Xu Guogong's eyes were a little erratic, and he kept thinking about whether his problems would cause accidents, and which ones hadn't been wiped clean?
Not to mention, what he thought was his status before, some small things that were not considered important at all, now seems to be the last straw that overwhelms him, and it really reminded him of a few small things.

"My lord, Mr. Wang, the governor of Jinyiwei South Town, is here."

The door of the box opened suddenly, and the butler brought back by Xu Guogong walked up to him to report.

"Oh, then please invite...forget it, the Duke of the country will invite you in person."

How far can the door of the box be?It's just two steps, but after thinking about it, Xu Guogong still decided to invite him in person. This attitude must be corrected, right?
"Haha, Xu Guogong is too polite, how can I be an official to accept the personal invitation of Shang Guogong?" Wang Kuo's bold voice sounded at the door, and at the same time, after hearing Xu Guogong's words that he wanted to invite himself, he walked forward all the way. box.

Immediately, Xu Guogong's handsome face appeared in front of Wang Kuo's eyes.

"Xu Fu, you go out first, and tell Xiaoer that the food is ready to serve. Today, my father-in-law will be entertaining Mr. Wang at the Guanxing Tower." He waved his hand casually to let the butler Xu Fu leave, and Xu Guogong smiled enthusiastically. Hospitality said.

"My lord, please sit down quickly. Today is my country's official treat, so don't meet me!"

Pulling away the chair casually, Wang Kuo sat down and smiled slowly.

"Where is it? The Duke is too polite. Today is the Duke who is invited by the official. Naturally, this meal will be invited by the official."

"That can't be done. As the saying goes, guests do as they please. To tell you the truth, Mr. Wang, this star observatory is also the property of the country's public. Since it is at home, it is natural for me, the master, to make the decision." Stretched out his hand and waved it in the air , Xu Guogong explained casually.

Its meaning does not have the meaning of showing off, but thinking about cannibalism and softness. After a while, after drinking for three rounds, he will give some yellow and white things. He Wang Kuo will not "disturb" himself, right? ?
"Oh, I didn't expect that the famous star observatory in the capital is still the property of the Duke? Haha, that would be rude for an official."

He had heard before that the backstage of Guanxing Building was very large, but he really didn't know that it was actually Xu Guogong's property, but it has been said so far, Wang Kuo is naturally impossible to earn banquets.

However, Wang Kuo was quite curious in his heart, why did Xu Guogong place his position so low?Are you so approachable with a little pacifier like yourself?

Or is it that the Duke has always been like this?
But thinking about Jin Yiwei's actions recently, he knew it in his mind.

This is a world with distinct levels, nobles are nobles, gentry are gentry, thinking Xu Guogong is easy to approach?Haha, that was really crazy.

You must know that the status and status of the nobles are accumulated over time. How can the second and third generations of this kind of nobles be approachable to ordinary people, unless there is a ghost in their hearts, or when they have something to ask for.

But Wang Kuo didn't point it out, just casually chatted with Xu Guogong about some family issues, until the food was served, the two of them pushed and exchanged cups, toasting and staggering.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and seeing that the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, Xu Guogong asked the question in his heart through the strength of wine.

"I don't know if Mr. Wang invited the Duke of this country this time, but what do you want to say? Don't worry, as long as it is within the power of the Duke of the country, there will be absolutely no problem."

After this short conversation, Xu Guogong can actually see that Wang Kuo is definitely not looking for trouble for him today, nor does he find any evidence of his crime, otherwise how could the atmosphere be so harmonious?
But obviously this is not enough to dispel the worries in his heart.

On the contrary, Wang Kuo, looking at the bold Xu Guogong, curled his lips secretly, what does it mean to be within one's power?Isn't it up to you?
But what he wants to say is a good thing for Xu Guogong, so he is not afraid that Xu Guogong will reject him.

Gently putting down the wine glass in his hand, Wang Kuo carefully looked at Xu Guogong's face, knowing that both of them seemed to have drunk a lot, but this amount of alcohol was not enough to really make Xu Guogong drunk.

"Xiaguan invited the Duke of Guo this time, in fact, he wanted the Duke of Guo to do a business." After saying a word, he seemed to be afraid that Mr. Xu might misunderstand, so he couldn't help explaining: "Well, very Simple business."

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Kuo finished his first sentence, Xu Guogong couldn't help but change his expression slightly. It wasn't until Wang Kuo said that it was a simple business, then he suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, "I don't know what Mr. Wang said. What do you mean by business...?"

"Soap, perfume, white wine and tea! I wonder if Xu Guogong is willing to cooperate?"

When Wang Kuo heard the words, he immediately smiled proudly, and said the names of these commodities casually, which made Xu Guogong's eyes brighter and brighter, but he seemed to think of something, and said in surprise.

"Master Wang, I have to say that your business is really eye-catching, but these things are golden chickens. To be honest, if this is in the hands of my country, I am reluctant to find someone else to buy it." If you cooperate, can you please tell Master Wang why you still want to cooperate with me?"

Xu Guogong was not blinded by the interests in front of him, even though he knew that if these transactions were successful, it would be enough to raise the Xu family's business by one or two grades, or even a higher level, but as he said As you said, this is the chicken that lays the golden eggs. Who would be afraid of having less money?

As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things go wrong, and now the Xu Guogong family has a big business, and he has to deal with some things carefully, even if this business is really exciting for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't let people study soap and perfume in private.

However, whether it is soap, perfume or high-grade liquor, they all have an indispensable material, that is alcohol, so as long as the alcohol is not extracted, they cannot research any of the above items.

In fact, it was precisely because of this reason that Wang Kuo was at ease looking for cooperation with Xu Guogong, not afraid that the business would be swallowed up by Xu Guogong.

"It's very simple. The Lord has shops and strength. Although I have these items, I just lack the shops that can spread the whole country. If I go to open a shop by myself, it is not impossible, but it is absolutely necessary. It will take three to five years." Wang Kuo gave a reason, which also made Xu Guogong fall into deep thought.

He had to think carefully about whether this matter was feasible or not, and whether what Wang Kuo said was credible.

However, no matter what he thought, he didn't think of a problem that was not good for him, and he was even more reluctant to let such a huge profit fly away before his eyes.

Wang Kuo took another sip of wine in a calm manner, um, it is worthy of his own high-grade liquor, it seems that the business is still pretty good.

He really took his time, because without Xu Guogong, he can still find others. At worst, he can go to a few more chambers of commerce, or other Dukes of the country can also be used.

What's more, in the face of such a huge profit, Wang Kuo did not believe that Xu Guogong could bear it.

Sure enough, after just thinking about it for a moment, Xu Guogong gave the answer just after drinking a glass of wine.

"Okay, my country's lord has agreed, but how to cooperate specifically, please ask Mr. Wang to come up with a charter."

"Simple." Wang Kuo also showed a satisfied smile when he heard the words, took out a piece of paper full of handwriting from his arms, and pushed it in front of Xu Guogong, saying: "No, Xu Guogong, please read, this is the paper written by the official recently. The plan, you will understand after reading it.”

"Okay, then the Duke of this country will read Mr. Wang's high-level remarks first."

Nodding, Xu Guogong picked up the paper and looked at it very seriously.

Soon, Xu Guogong finished reading a piece of paper, but after he finished reading it, he couldn't help pondering.
