Tang Dynasty good man

The first eighty-five chapters of the ancients are sincere and cannot be deceived

I am very satisfied with the performance of the fourth child, and he is indeed a wonderful flower in the business world.There are too many loopholes in the contract signed with the inner government, even a layman like me can understand it.I don't know if the fourth brother did this on purpose, or because the business concept of this era has not yet been perfected. When reviewing the contract again, the terms of the Chen family as a supplier are tight and watertight, but as the terms of Party B's inner government, the door is wide open and full of loopholes. .

can imagine.The royal family, with power over the sky, thinks that with this big hat, as long as there is profit in the big account, it looks extremely magnanimous, and the condescending posture loses the vigilance it should have in business. It can be said responsibly that they are all It's just a bunch of rookies with eyes on the top of their heads, including the seemingly shrewd Lan Ling.

The Chen family is different. They are cautious businessmen and low-key people. They have experienced ups and downs in the mall for many years.From the terms of the peace agreement, it can be seen that the two parties are not on the same level at all. If there is no such a big backer of the royal family, if the two parties are equal, the inner government can consider filing for bankruptcy.

Although Lan Ling has no advanced business theory, he is a first-class smart person.It’s great that Lawang Maozan and others have worked so hard to collect a hundred catties. I think a hundred catties of bird’s beaks can severely hit the agriculture of Tubo, not to mention that the inner government is still buying with a lot of cash.Although the Neifu's loss from the Chen family's bird's beak is not big, and the conversion is at most a thousand or ten guan, but to the sensitive Lan Ling, it has already smelled unfairness.

She didn't pursue it that day, and hurried home to change. After all, it's rare to see a majestic princess of the heavenly dynasty who emits a bad smell. Fortunately, Lan Ling regards me and the fourth child as his own. .Lan Ling and I are like this, bickering when we have nothing to do.Playing tricks to toss each other, a child's game, is too naive for two well-educated adults, but they still enjoy it.

"Don't be complacent, it's not over yet!" Lan Ling said something to me when he left, with a seemingly homely expression and an amicable expression. "The bills are calculated one by one, when I figure it out..." She smiled softly and slightly charmingly, "Hehe, no one can take advantage of the cheapness from me. It's the same for everyone." After finishing speaking, he walked over The generous Tong Ying said goodbye to the fourth child, got in the car and drove away.

"What are you talking about, happy." Ying took a change of clothes from a distance, and ordered the servants to prepare bath water as warm as killing a chicken and scalding its feathers.Throw me in. "It's still early. Husband soaks it for a while before coming out. It doesn't matter until dinner. The key is that there should be no smell after coming out." He took a ladle of water and poured it on me. "Otherwise, there is no one who gets into bed at night."

"Hey," he stood in the barrel, splashing water on his body.While giggling. "Go quickly, I can do it by myself. The steam is heavy, and it's uncomfortable to stay for a long time. Go out and close the door tightly."

After being chased away by Ying, she began to sing...I have had the habit of singing in bathhouses since I was a child. No matter at home or in public baths, once the steam in the water steams above me, I will get carried away, and I can't help singing loudly until I wake up.There is no one in the surrounding area of ​​three or four square meters. There are about ten people in the pool. Whether they recognize it or not, they stare at me like a flower with strange eyes. Occasionally, children will cry loudly, which is embarrassing and refreshing. Very complicated.In the end, no one wanted to take a bath with me, whether it was a colleague or a friend.Occasionally meet me inside.He also pretended that he could not see clearly due to glaucoma, and never took the initiative to answer.

Lan Ling will not give up.hehe.While singing the white-haired girl's version of "Praise of Red Plums", I was thinking about how to deal with it, forget it, leave it to the fourth child, I don't bother with that, "The red plum blossoms are blooming~ hey, the red-headed rope is tight~a!  … "Well, it feels like rock and roll.

The days passed day by day, and the follow-up measures of Lanling Land have not been seen for a long time. They still come every day, and they still hold on to their knowledge. They don't let go of any time to quarrel with me. They often discuss some livelihood issues together. Life is very comfortable. .

"Why haven't I seen you challenge me with questions these days?" Seeing that summer is coming, the weather is warm, the fur cushions under the soft chair have been removed, and the body is hard, and I am not used to it yet.Lan Ling is now a veritable mathematician, and the so-called difficult problems he brings to him for advice are becoming less and less, "Not to mention, if you don't assign some homework, I'm still not used to it."

"It's a problem." Lan Ling smiled, "I think so too, why is it getting harder to find problems? So, I'm afraid I'm going to be a teacher." He put down the pen in his hand, "So Questions that were impossible to get results after reading, can be solved easily now," he said with a smile, very proudly.

"Teacher?" I shook my head contemptuously.For broad and profound things, Lanling's level is only a small part of what I have learned, and my level is in the 21st century... Forget it, I'm sorry to compare. "It's very early. Do you understand that there is no end to learning? It's only been less than two years, and I haven't touched the level of superficiality. If I say this boldly, I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue."

"You," Lan Ling glanced at me, "you don't know how to say something that makes people happy. It's just a matter of writing and calculating, and you are better than others in this area. As for putting on airs and preaching? I haven't done it yet. Asking about your apprenticeship." Grabbing the paper and shaking it in protest, "You owe me everything, it's still too early to pay off, and we should first distinguish who is the creditor."

"Look, let's be a rascal." He leisurely took the tea bowl to moisten his mouth, and said casually: "If you are better than others, you should be arrogant, and if you are worse than others, you should be foolish. It is not like you to learn from each other's strengths. , Open-minded, do you know what it means to be open-minded? It’s just that you have the mentality of being a thief, and you’re right if you don’t have the confidence. You just happen to be a robber, a thieves, and you are obviously taking other people’s things, so you get very angry.”

"Haha..." Lan Ling smiled at me as a metaphor, and slapped me a few times, "Your greatest skill is not in arithmetic, but in speaking. You can swear at people with a glib tongue." He raised his chin and stared intently. After a while, I said with a charming smile: "Slippery. You are a naughty one. Ever since the Tubo savages left last time, I knew you were playing tricks, but after much deliberation, I couldn't find an idea. Obviously your toilet water is at this price , In the end, even the profit of the bird's beak was divided between you and the Chen family. After all, the money is still paid by the inner government, and the Tubo people have not benefited at all, so why can you take advantage of the whole world?"

"This...hehe." Finally got into trouble, I thought Lan Ling didn't plan to pursue this matter, after all, he didn't have much money, and he was used to having a lot of money.Think she doesn't count.A few perfunctory smirks, "It just so happens, luck. You know, I've always been lucky."

"Liar!" Lan Ling's posture remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled deeply. "Your family now has a wine steaming workshop and a toilet water workshop. Don't tell me that the two workshops are not related. Your shochu can be ignited. But the Jiuhua Yulu you gave me can also be ignited. Now there are too many wines. He pulled it out and sold it, hehe, I can only explain one thing, in the future, you can make as much toilet water as you want!"

"How come, the process is complicated." Lan Ling is not easy to be fooled. Recently, several sets of equipment have been added to the wine steaming workshop, and several equipments are distilled together.The production of high-alcohol wine has increased several times.Lan Ling was right, the wine had already been wholesaled by Ying to the brother-in-law to sell it, and according to what Ying said, the brother-in-law planned to build a winemaking workshop to provide low-alcohol shochu to the distillation workshop for further processing.Costs can be reduced a lot.In this way, even the cost of toilet water has dropped, and the profit from the additional sale of high-alcohol wine is also a big gain. "Toilet water, from processing to inspection to packaging. The procedure is not so complicated. From front to back, it takes about a year!"

"What's more?" Lan Ling grinned and bared his teeth, "Believe it or not, I'll beat someone up. You can lie to others. Can you fool me? Last year when I transferred goods from your house, it was difficult. , the fourth child can push it every day. But in this month, the goods are ready to be delivered as soon as the person who greets you arrives. Although there is still a queue at the door of your workshop, it is obvious that the fourth child deliberately created that kind of space for the sake of profit. ...As you said, the illusion that demand exceeds supply!"

"Ah... this... I don't participate, I don't understand." If we were found out, we would play dead dogs, "The fourth one arranged it all by himself. I just ignored it at home. If you ask me, I can't find out why. "

"Hehe..." Lan Ling shook his head with a smile, "Ghost. It's a monkey." Get up and sit beside me.With her chin resting on my shoulder and her mouth next to my ear, I could feel the heat of her breath. "I went home and thought about it for a long time. Fortunately, the inner palace has a royal name on my back, so you dare not make mistakes. If it is an ordinary merchant, hehe, you will suffer a big loss."

"How could it be?" I pretended to be ignorant, poked my head around, and said, "In business, reputation is the first thing, and then fairness. Don't you know that there is no deceit? Kindness, I am a very kind, civilized Wang Dashan."

Lan Ling blew a few breaths of hot air next to my ear, itching, "It's fair, I didn't notice it."

Gently took my hand, pinched a finger and stroked it lightly, it was comfortable.Just in time for the beauty, Lan Ling slammed it together with a 'click', "Oops!" The pain wasn't too painful, but the contrast between the two movements was so great that I was taken aback, "What are you doing! You're disabled after tossing around. ?”

"If you are really crippled, I will support you for the rest of my life after fighting for this reputation." Lan Ling let go of me with a smile, "There are not many people in this world who rely on their cleverness to take advantage of the inner court. A thousand catties of toilet water That’s all, what if there is suddenly a [-]-jin or [-]-jin piece of land in the sales area of ​​the Inner Palace? The quantity is not as big as anyone’s house, so it’s a disadvantage to fight for the price, isn’t it?”

"How come?" Although he said so, he turned his head to look at Lan Ling in amazement. These words sounded normal, but when they came out of Lan Ling's mouth, it was abnormal.I don't know what her plans are. "You are overthinking, how can you have such a big handwriting with the current output of the workshop."

"What if? What if there is such an output? If the output is so large that even the inner government can't afford it, are you going to buy it for thousands of dollars?" Lan Ling's smile became softer, his eyes dazed Cheng Wanyue, "Tibetan people have already come to you to buy goods. If all the Tubo merchants think that the land in the inner government is expensive, they will go to you to buy goods. Who will we sell the things in our hands to?" He stretched out his hand and grabbed me. With one finger, he said softly: "Don't be in a hurry to argue, as soon as you speak, your fingers will ring, and you will ring a few times after you say a few words."

Nod your head and shut up.look steadily forward.

"That's right, the sufferer has come to the door, no matter how reasonable you are, you still have to listen to others' complaints, right?" Lan Ling rubbed my hand lightly, "That stinky boy in Tubo, I'll take it from you. Whether it’s three catties or three thousand catties, it’s all the same. That is to say, there is at least one competitor with the same cost in the land sold in the inner government, isn’t it? Feeling conscientious, is this the truth?”

want to nod.But he couldn't nod, a nod meant that he admitted that the inner government had suffered, so he stiffened his neck with a serious expression on his face.

"If you don't shake your head, it proves that you still have a conscience." Lan Ling smiled even more beautifully, charmingly. "Since you came up with the idea of ​​collecting bird's beaks, and the Inner Palace is going to go with this plan, although toilet water has made a lot of money there, but this business is not reliable. In a clear sense, you help The Neifu sent the Tubo stinky man to collect the beaks, and the Neifu bought the beaks from you for what you paid for. It seems clear. But think about it carefully, if you don’t give this stinky man, you will be forced to He takes toilet water from the inner palace, and every time he goes back and forth, the price difference between them is much larger than the value of the bird's beak. Is this the truth?"

... deadpan, poker-faced, motionless.

"That is to say, you skipped the inner government and gave the benefits directly to the Tibetans. Let him create obstacles for the inner government in the sales of toilet water in Tubo." Lan Ling seemed to be thinking much more smoothly as he spoke. More and more sharp, more and more charming smile. "Fortunately, he is three catties instead of three thousand catties. Otherwise, he will fight for one thousand catties and lower the price with the inner government, forcing the inner government to sell at the bottom price; after the second two thousand catties, he will raise the price to compensate for the previous loss. In the end, the stinky people will make money. Is it true that the inner government loses money?"

"This... ah!" The sound of 'clicking' from my fingers interrupted my defense, so let's just keep silent.

"It's not time for you to speak, sir. I can finish the question in one go. You are too shrewd. Once you are interrupted, the concubine will be hard to resist. There are so many sirs, don't blame me... ..." Lan Ling stuck his whole body over, "As for the inner government, if you can wipe your face and do this, most of your thoughts are still on the country. It's better to have profits, and no profits. As long as you can get rid of the wedge of Tubo, even losses will not matter. It's a good deal. Since you're going for this goal, you will never guard against your own family. But who are you helping by playing this trick in the back?"

"Stop!" Lan Ling couldn't ask this question any more, he had to make excuses if he didn't want to, and if he asked again, he would be collaborating with the enemy and traitorous, which is fine. "Eldest sister, are you overdoing it? How much damage can a few catties, tens of catties, cause you? Besides, since I went to the ground at the bird's beak, I have also helped you a lot, and it is also in line with the ultimate goal of the Inner Palace, right? "

Seeing that I was in a hurry, Lan Ling didn't torture me with his finger, and said with a smile: "Yes, the target is the bird's beak. That is to say, but what if the goal of the Neifu is to make money? Let alone the Neifu, even if it is an ordinary business, Isn’t your approach too much? Relying on being smarter and more knowledgeable than others, playing tricks on the contract..." Lan Ling shook his head, "No, I can't count it as a trick on you, because I didn't have such knowledge at the time , and would never have thought that my lord would harm me, and would never owe the country for a little profit..."

"What are you talking about?" I don't like to hear this kind of words the most, "I've told you to fight all kinds of metaphors. It's a man, a country, and interests. Can you get things mixed together? According to you, I First betrayed the country for profit, and then betrayed the mother-in-law because of the contract. Then what else is there to say, just drag the West Market, and they are all beasts, so what are you doing?"

"Maybe it's like this," Lan Ling smiled and nodded, "Emotionally we are close, but when it comes to business..." He blinked, "Don't you often say that shopping malls are like battlefields, and it's not surprising that father and son fight against each other? "

"Hehe..." I'm not used to seeing Lanling talking about business with me in a serious manner. Earlier, he kept beating and contemptuous of businessmen, but now he's completely out of office. "Talk about business, just talk about business, don't talk about the royal family of the inner palace, just now you said you want to be fair, but you want to pull a bunch of crimes on my forehead, does it look fair? years."

"Tianlao, you are not qualified to go." Lanling smiled and poked my finger, "You are lucky if you don't bully others in the business of the Neifu. To be honest, even if it is unfair, you will definitely not do business with the royal family. Losing money, the inner government pays more attention to face than money, but you can’t be greedy for petty gains just because of this, right? The fourth child understands better than you on this, and it’s deceiving to talk about any fair corner. Don’t worry! With me here, no one dares to touch you. What is your purpose when I bring the fourth child to a banquet during the Chinese New Year? Why don’t you show your face to support you. It’s no good!"

Indeed, now that I think about it, I do have the idea of ​​taking advantage of petty gains.First of all, I didn't regard the Neifu as a partner. Although the matter of accepting the bird's beak and skipping the Lanling link was planned by the fourth, but I acquiesced, objectively, I indulged the fourth.Although Lan Ling was being cautious when he asked the question just now, most of them were reasonable.Besides, Lan Ling should have come forward when meeting foreign businessmen, and Lan Ling had already called me last year to meet foreign businessmen in person, and my fourth brother and I just got in the way, and anyone would have an idea.

"Well," I scratched my head, "Don't think about it, I..." I wanted to admit my mistake, but I couldn't say it, "I... I think you can use it as a reason..."

"But it's new, reason is reason, what's the meaning of 'also count'?"
