Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 375: Sitting on the sidelines?Wait and talk

boom!
As the glass exploded, Su Jing's attempt failed again.

"It's really not easy to get some chemicals in Ming Dynasty!"

Su Jing smiled slightly, not caring about the oil stains on her body due to the explosion.

Compared with physical observation and exploration of the world, chemistry is more dangerous in practical operations and it is more difficult to achieve reaction conditions.

Of course, this is only based on Su Jing's current situation.

After all, all he could do was basic physics and basic chemistry.

"We still have to think of ways to make rubber."

Su Jing muttered to herself, turned around and returned to her room to start looking up information.

If you are dealing with rubber, there are only two ways to go.

First, look for oak trees.

Su Jing didn't know much about rubber processing, but she knew very well that one of the raw materials for making rubber was oak sap.

In my previous life, general education classes still had some effect.

However, in this land of China, oak trees are indeed not that easy to find.

The second idea came into being, which was to find a substitute for oak trees.

The raw material that can be used to make rubber is certainly not just oak sap.

Still have to find it!

……

While Su Jing was searching over and over again, Sun Ping had to settle down with shopkeeper Qian.

"I can't go back! I can't go back!"

Shopkeeper Qian was holding a steamed bun in his hand, his eyes unfocused and he kept shouting.

But now he had changed into new clothes, and even his hair was tied up, and he no longer looked as dirty as before.

"Ah~"

Sun Ping sighed.

As the shopkeeper of a cloth shop, he also sympathized with shopkeeper Qian's plight.

Knowing the inside story, he could tell Shopkeeper Qian Su Jing's plan, which would probably make Shopkeeper Qian feel better.

But Sun Ping knew better that Su Jing could tell him this because she trusted him, so he couldn't tell.

"You should take good care of the money manager here. This is Shiliang. You don't need to save on daily expenses, but you can't be corrupt. You can't do without the money that's yours."

Sun Ping took out a piece of silver from the money bag at his waist and handed it into the hands of the clerk.

This is the person he specially hired to look after shopkeeper Qian.

As the shopkeeper of Su's Cloth Shop, Sun Ping doesn't have time to look after shopkeeper Qian here all the time.

"Yes, shopkeeper Sun, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of shopkeeper Qian."

The waiter nodded and took the money very respectfully.

When it comes to corruption, he really doesn't have the guts.

Because he is an employee of Sushi Buhang, he knows very well what the treatment is like.

He lost his good job for these ten taels of silver, but he still knew how to handle this business.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Sun Ping nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Not long after, he arrived at the cloth shop. As soon as he entered the door, he found a familiar figure.

No, to be precise, it should just be recognition.

"Shopkeeper Sun, long time no see."

The visitor noticed Sun Ping's arrival, stood up and smiled.

I saw this man in plain clothes, about 40 years old. He didn't have anything expensive, but he had an aura of nobility.

"Shopkeeper Li, I don't know why you come to my place. What do you do for me?"

Sun Ping looked at the man in front of him and said calmly.

He was not very familiar with the man in front of him, but he knew that he was Li Mingyou, the owner of the antique shop.

Unlike other shopkeepers under Su Jing, Li Mingyou was already quite famous and had quite a fortune before he became Su Jing's shopkeeper.

At least in the antique circle, there are still connections and qualifications.

It's just that Li Mingyou has a bad habit, that is, he likes to gamble!

Of course, he is not gambling with money, but he likes to gamble on some antique objects that have not been completely opened.

For example, things like copper coin strings are old, but no one knows how much they are worth until they are completely opened.

Li Mingyou is very confident in his vision and courageous.

At first, I made a lot of money by doing this antique business, but when I walk along the river, my shoes don’t get wet.

Li Mingyou, a fat sheep who loved gambling and was very confident in himself, and returned a lot of money, was quickly targeted.

Li Mingyou fell into the trap and lost his shop directly.

For a moment, it was no exaggeration to say that it fell from the sky to the ground.

Then he met Su Jing, who gave him money to make a comeback.

Of course, correspondingly, Su Jing accounts for [-]% of Li Mingyou's current shop.

It can be said that Li Mingyou was the most independent of all Su Jing's shopkeepers, and his ability was also the strongest at the time.

The money earned is naturally the most.

However, Sun Ping doesn't have much favorable impression of Li Mingyou now, because Sun Ping knows that after Li Mingyou turned over, he has always wanted to break up with Su Jing.

No matter how big the business is, half of the profits must be given to Su Jing.

This is unacceptable to Li Mingyou.

Naturally, he also tried some other methods, but when it came to finance, Li Mingyou found that he could not avoid Su Jing at all.

Unless you tear your face.

"Shopkeeper Sun, I'm here to discuss business with you."

Li Mingyou smiled and said, "Isn't this the way you treat guests, Shopkeeper Sun?"

Sun Ping looked at Li Mingyou and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you are in the antique business. I am a cloth shop here. What business can we discuss?"

Li Mingyou smiled and was not in a hurry, just wandering around in the cloth row.

"Shopkeeper Sun, I am also a human being and I also need to wear clothes. Who doesn't know that Su's Cloth Shop has the best materials in Lishui County. Naturally, I have to come here to buy materials for making clothes."

Li Mingyou reached out and brushed the pieces of fabric, as if he was selecting them, but he didn't seem to care.

Sun Ping said calmly: "If Shopkeeper Li comes to buy ingredients, please feel free to do so, but if you have anything else to do, I won't entertain you."

"Hahaha!"

Li Mingyou laughed and said: "Shopkeeper Sun, what you said is interesting. What do you mean by other things? Are there any other things in business?"

"You and I are both in business, don't you even understand this?"

Obviously, Li Mingyou didn't just come here to buy cloth, nor did he really want to make some clothes.

"Shopkeeper Li, everyone has their own way of doing business. Mine is definitely different from yours, so if Shopkeeper Li has nothing to do, then I won't have time to chat with Shopkeeper Li here."

Sun Ping said, neither humble nor arrogant.

If Su Jing hadn't made a request to him first, Sun Ping would have cursed him loudly.

Sun Ping knew Li Mingyou's thoughts very well.

Su's Clothing Company is Su Jing's core industry. If he also rebels with Ping'an Rice Company, Su Jing will definitely be overwhelmed.

By then, things will be much easier for Li Mingyou's antique shop.But now Sun Ping can't express his attitude too clearly.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Qian, I want all the fabrics on this counter."

Li Mingyou waved his hand and bought dozens of taels worth of fabric.

Because he could see that Sun Ping's attitude was not as decisive as that of the Jinling Hotel or the Shaxian Snack Shopkeeper.

As long as the words are not dead, there is still the possibility of continuing.

"Now, Shopkeeper Sun can sit down and have a good talk with me."

Li Mingyou said with a smile.

Sun Ping let out a breath, knowing that there was no way around this matter today, so he turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Li, this is not the place to talk. Come with me."

"This is business talk, Shopkeeper Sun."

Li Mingyou showed a satisfied smile on his face and followed Sun Ping in.

The two talked for about an hour before Li Mingyou walked out.

His expression was not very happy, but he was not very disappointed either.

"Goodbye, Shopkeeper Sun."

Li Mingyou walked to the door and cupped his hands inside.

Sun Ping said calmly: "Shopkeeper Li, the fabric will be delivered to your house tomorrow. Please check it for acceptance."

"There is no need for acceptance inspection. I can trust Shopkeeper Qian, and I can trust the reputation of Su's Cloth Shop."

Li Mingyou said calmly, and then left Su's Cloth Shop.

Soon, Li Mingyou appeared in a house. As Li Mingyou appeared, three people immediately surrounded him.

"How's it going? Shopkeeper Li, how's the conversation going?"

"Then what's Sun Ping's attitude?"

"After such a long time, it's definitely impossible for Shopkeeper Li to return without success."

The three people asked anxiously. It was obvious that they were also the shopkeepers of Su Jing's shop.

Like Li Mingyou, they had already thought of breaking away from Su Jing.

It's just that they are different from Li Mingyou. The relationship between Li Mingyou and Su Jing is more like partners, while they are purely workers.

There is no way, who knows that Su Jing is not good in the field of antiques. She only knows business but not antiques.

Li Mingyou looked at the three people in front of him and said: "Three shopkeepers, don't worry. I'm looking for Sun Ping today. His attitude is a bit interesting. He doesn't want to be the same as us, and he doesn't want to stand on the employer's side. He seems to be somewhat neutral. "

"Tch, what is neutrality? I just don't dare. I still want to wait and see."

As soon as Li Mingyou finished speaking, someone mocked him.

Li Mingyou smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, this is wrong. You see that Sun Ping has arranged the old money very well, which shows that Sun Ping is indeed very nostalgic."

"It's just a simple settlement, how much money can you spend? It's just a show, who can't do it?"

Another shopkeeper spoke.

Li Mingyou glanced at this man and said nothing, but he felt very contemptuous of him in his heart.

put on a show?

You have to do it!

Have I ever seen you do this play before?
"Shopkeeper Li, let's talk about what happened today. What happened?"

The last person asked.

Li Mingyou paused and said, "What happened today can be regarded as a good thing."

"Hahahaha! Shopkeeper Li is really awesome!"

Shopkeeper Zhou immediately said excitedly.

However, before he could get excited, Li Mingyou poured a basin of cold water on him and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't be impatient."

"What, there's something else going on?"

The other shopkeeper's expression changed and he said anxiously.

Li Mingyou replied: "Sun Ping promised us that he would not stop us, but at the same time he would not go against his boss."

"What?"

Shopkeeper Zhou frowned and said, "What does Sun Ping mean? Not helping either side? Just sitting on the sidelines? Do you want to sit back and watch the snipe and the clam fight?"

"Shopkeeper Li, you won't let him become this fisherman, right?"

Another shopkeeper said: "What does Sun Ping mean? Didn't I always clean the owner's courtyard before? Why do I want to be neutral now?"

The shopping mall is like a battlefield. As such a key figure, Sun Ping made such a choice, which these shopkeepers did not expect.

In fact, they did not expect Li Mingyou to do this at first.

Because the relationship between Sun Ping and Su Jing is known to all shopkeepers and is unusual.

If Sun Ping scolded Li Mingyou directly and firmly, they would all think it was too normal.

After all, with so many performances before, it is somewhat difficult to pretend.

Li Mingyou said: "Everyone, it is said that people die for money and birds die for food, but humans are not birds and beasts, and human hearts are complicated. In this matter of Sun Ping, we are just trying our luck. Whether we really want to do this or not, for us No loss at all.”

"We'll just wait until the owner collects the account later, and we'll know what happens then."

Li Mingyou did not regard himself and the three people in front of him as a group.

Because what he wants is not rebellion, but a decent departure.

Su Jing and he were already doing business together, but Li Mingyou no longer wanted to partner with Su Jing.

The reason why he did not mention this matter directly to Su Jing was because once the partnership was officially broken up, half of his current shop would be divided, and the market he had finally opened up would probably be cannibalized by others.

This is not what Li Mingyou wants to see.

As for Su Jing not wanting anything and just breaking up the gang, he didn't believe it anyway.

How can a businessman give up what he already has in his hands?

So, he needs some chips.

A bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Su Jing.

"Shopkeeper Li, according to what you said, we still have to wait."

Shopkeeper Zhou asked Li Mingyou.

Li Mingyou nodded and said: "Yes, don't you think Sun Ping's attitude is interesting? Our boss is not an ordinary person, so he should be careful."

"What Shopkeeper Li said is that although my boss is young, he is very capable. In fact, we have gone too far. We make a lot of money under our boss."

Another shopkeeper backed down, or he didn't want to rebel against Su Jing in the first place.

"Huh! It's too late to regret it now!"

Shopkeeper Zhou snorted coldly and said: "The boss is very good and has helped us a lot, but since the business started, the boss has stopped taking care of it. He only collects the accounts and gets the money. We are the shopkeepers! Without the boss, all the money will be lost." our!"

Li Mingyou said: "It is unethical to rebel against the boss, but it would be stupid to do it repeatedly."

These words also reminded a few people that since the decision was to be reversed, they had to be decisive.

We are all businessmen, and we all know the consequences of repeated hesitation.

After all, it is human greed that takes precedence over profit.

The shopkeeper who wanted to quit said nothing more when he saw this.

"Okay, that's it for today. Wang Jiafu has done so much. I think my boss should do something."

Li Mingyou said calmly: "Let's take a look and talk."

The group of people immediately dispersed and returned to their own shops to figure out what to do.

Just waiting for Wang Jiafu and Su Jing to really face each other!
