Chapter 70 Introducing the wolf into the room (7)
Yu Fei said with a smile: "Worshiping the true god, do you dare to be insincere? Besides, you must come to places like Qisuo Guild Hall often."

"Don't dare." Fang Yubin waved his hand and said, "I have been in Shanghai for so many years, and I only came here once with a friend."

This dark gray European-style villa is located in the famous Seven Locks Clubhouse in Shanghai.The guild hall is hidden in a villa complex without any signboards.There are seven private rooms in the hall, and each private room is equipped with an independent restaurant, chess and card room, karaoke hall, and sauna room.Throughout the year, only seven guests are received here, and they are all celebrities in Shanghai without exception.When these seven big figures entertain guests, they only need a phone call, and the club will provide exquisite and considerate services.If they don't say hello, the doors of the private rooms exclusive to each person will be locked and they will never welcome guests.Yu Fei was able to have a banquet here today, because he invited one of the seven big bosses to call the clubhouse through his relationship, saying that his friend wanted to come for dinner.Otherwise, even if Yu Fei is rich and powerful, he will not be able to enter the door of Qisuo Guild Hall.

Walking into the private room of Qisuo Guild Hall, the decoration inside is indeed magnificent and extraordinary.The Turkish carpet embroidered with flower patterns makes people feel light and light when stepping on it. The oil paintings on the walls are beautiful, and the imported tube-style chandeliers not only make the whole room fresh and bright, but also add a classical pastoral charm.

As soon as everyone was seated, two graceful waitresses handed cigars to them respectfully.Yu Fei picked up a cigar and said, "I heard from friends in Shanghai that the proprietress of the club is a Chinese-American. She traveled to America a few days ago and brought back authentic Cuban cigars. Mr. Fang, you should try it too. "

Fang Yubin lit the cigarette and took a sip, feeling the bitterness and unacceptable taste.But he still smiled and said, "It's Mr. Yu's credit to be able to smoke such a good cigar."

At the beginning of the banquet, Yu Fei couldn't help but toast Fang Yubin three full cups.Next, he ordered Yang Yun and Tong Xiaozhi to toast.Fang Yubin waved his hands: "Drinking like this, I guess I'll be drunk right away."

"When old friends meet, they have to get drunk!" Yu Fei was still persuading him to drink.

Fang Yubin said: "It doesn't matter if I'm drunk. It's just that Mr. Yu hosted a banquet. He must have something to explain to me. I got drunk early and missed your business. I can't afford it."

"Nothing tonight." Yu Fei said, "It's just a gathering of old friends, chatting and connecting with each other. You just have to drink."

"Isn't that right?" Fang Yubin didn't smoke the Cuban cigars on the table, but took out his own cigarettes, "Mr. Yu is a strong stock market dealer, and he has always been indifferent. I can't even find a picture of you on the Internet." Yes. It was just the year before last that you made an exception and accepted an exclusive interview with a financial magazine. Because I wanted to meet you, I carefully read the report."

Fang Yubin went on to say: "In the interview, Mr. Yu said that he is not a person who likes to socialize. For example, if someone comes to discuss cooperation, you like to be straight to the point, explaining clearly what resources you have, what you need me to do, and how to distribute the benefits. You also said that the most annoying thing is that people create a meal to talk about things, and talk about what they say. In the end, they often eat a meal without talking about a few serious things, leaving only one sentence for another day, which is pure waste. each other's time."

Fang Yubin smiled and said, "I agree with what you said deeply. Therefore, I think you should go to the Three Treasures Hall today if you have nothing to do."

Being generalized by Fang Yubin, Yu Fei was not displeased. Instead, he laughed at Yang Yun: "Look, Boss Fang is a handsome guy in the business world. You have to know yourself and your enemy even after eating a meal. It's all turned out."

Yu Fei went on to say: "That interview is just for the occasion, don't take it too seriously. It is your masterpiece. I have read it carefully many times and benefited a lot."

"What is my masterpiece?" Fang Yubin asked.

Yu Fei said: "It's the book "Wealth Has No Myth" that you wrote back then. Not only did I love it, but I also highly recommend it to friends around me."He had indeed read Fang Yubin's book seriously.In order to prove that what he said was true, Yu Fei also mentioned several details in the book.

Yang Yun interjected: "Our President Yu highly recommends this book. Not only has he read it many times, but he also ordered the administration department to order dozens of copies, and the company's mid-level staff will have one copy."

"Thank you for your love, I am so grateful." Whether he was a small white-collar worker before or he is now in a high position, Fang Yubin's literati nature can never be changed.It is always a joy to hear someone praise one's book.

Although "Fortune Has No Myth" is simple and profound, it is still a professional work after all, and it cannot be expected to become a bestseller like a romance novel.Sales of the book have been tepid since its publication.However, during this period, the publishing company called and said that it had reprinted several times, probably because Fang Yubin was on the rise in the workplace, the author became well-known, and the book sold easily.Compared with Fang Yubin's current annual salary, the reprint fee is naturally not worth mentioning.However, Fang Yubin was more excited than having negotiated a deal whenever he received the news of reprinting.When he was excited, he would always laugh at himself, thinking that a book was so important that he might not be able to change his true nature as a scholar.

Yu Fei started from the reckless and was able to get to where he is today, in addition to working hard the day after tomorrow, his talent for observing words and demeanor is even more remarkable.He saw that Fang Yubin had a literati temperament of narcissistic self-admiration, so he deliberately led the topic: "The book presents subversive views on many people or things that have already been concluded. In my opinion, this is actually constructing a kind of A thinking mode that speaks with facts and thinks independently. With this set of modes, when you look at many things, you will suddenly see the light.”

"For example, I," Yu Fei continued, "read "Three Kingdoms" since I was very young, and the poison in Luo Guanzhong is very deep. Over the years, it has become fashionable to overturn Cao Cao's case and invite Zhuge Liang from the altar. , I tried to get rid of these shackles and really think independently, and I gained a lot."

Yu Fei had indeed pinpointed Fang Yubin's pulse.Although Fang Yubin is also a businessman, he looks down on those who only talk about money.Besides, with his relationship with Yu Fei, he couldn't help being on guard all the time.Talking about history and culture according to one's own preferences can not only bring the distance between each other closer, but also change Fang Yubin's impression and make him feel that he is a person of sufficient grade and can communicate.

Fang Yubin really became interested in what Yu Fei said, and asked, "What do you gain?"

Yu Fei said: "The Three Kingdoms is a school of learning, and there are many articles that overturn someone's case or justify someone's name. However, I really settled down to study this period of history, but I found that there was one person who was the most stigmatized and should be rehabilitated. Ignored."

The history of the Three Kingdoms has a very high popularity rate in Chinese society.Talking about this topic, Tong Xiaozhi couldn't help interjecting: "Who are you talking about?"

"It's the Empress Liu Chan." Yu Fei said.

Yang Yun on the side was a little surprised: "Is that the one who can't afford it?"

Yu Fei said: "It's this Ah Dou. But I think this person can not only support him, but also stand on his own. Liu Chan was the emperor of Shuhan for a total of 41 years. Among all the emperors in the Three Kingdoms era, he reigned for the longest time. The longest. In the early stage, Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Chan for 11 years. After Zhuge Liang passed away, Liu Chan worked for 30 years. Unlike Sun Hao, the last emperor of Soochow, who was a well-known tyrant, and even less like the emperor of Cao Wei who was emptied by his subordinates, Liu Chan He neither has the notoriety of cruelty, but also always holds the power in his own hands. In the turbulent era of the separatist regime, being able to do this must have its own merits."

Fang Yubin said, "Tell me, what are the advantages of Liu Chan?"

"Liu Chan, like his father, Liu Bei, is a master at playing power." Yu Fei said, "During the Three Kingdoms era, the prime minister's monopoly was a big problem. Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, regardless of loyalty and treachery, did this. Even before Zhuge Liang died, he arranged My successors - Jiang Wan after me, and Fei Yi after Jiang Wan. Look at this posture, Liu Chan can only be a little wife for the rest of his life."

Seeing that everyone listened with gusto, Yu Fei was quite proud, and he said, "Zhuge Liang never expected that his painstaking arrangements would be easily reversed by Liu Chan, a master of power. Don't you want to use Jiang Wan and Fei Yi to restrain me? Lao Tzu simply promoted the two men at the same time and let them restrain each other. After Zhuge Liang’s death, Liu Chan no longer appointed a prime minister, but made Fei Yi the minister and Jiang Wan the chief minister. The power of the two checks and balances each other. There is also no arbitrary minister, and the highest power is firmly controlled by Liu Chan."

"Interesting! I don't know how many times I have read "Three Kingdoms", but I have never realized this." Fang Yubin said with emotion.

Yu Fei continued: "As a high-ranking ruler, Liu Chan is not only good at playing tricks, but also has a pair of piercing eyes. After Zhuge Liang died, Yang Yi wanted to kill Wei Yan. The memorial was passed to Chengdu, and the young emperor immediately saw the flaw. He asked : "Wei Yan is a brave general, enough to reject Yang Yi and others, why burn down the plank road? "The implication of this sentence is that, with Wei Yan's ability, Yang Yi can't stop him from rebelling? Since Wei Yan rebelled, why didn't he just go to Wei State and burn the plank road to find trouble for himself?"

Yu Fei took a sip of his tea: "Look, Liu Chan, who is far away in Chengdu, has a clear understanding of the situation on the front line. He is not stupid, but he is clearly a politician with a keen eye. Liu Chan can tell at a glance that Wei Yan and Yang Yi were killed after Zhuge Liang's death. , staged a full martial arts fight for power. He knew better that the weak state of Shu must not fall into the quagmire of internal strife. Therefore, he could only pretend to be confused. It also takes skill to mix the mud to this extent."

"You make some sense. However, how to explain the allusion of Lebu Sishu?" Yang Yun asked.

Before Yu Fei could open his mouth, Fang Yubin said: "I really blamed Liu Chan for being too happy to miss Shu. The national power is not as good as others, and he has become a prisoner. It is easier for the emperor of Jin to kill Liu Chan than to trample on an ant. At this time, people asked him, what would he do?" Don’t pretend to have no ambitions, and say nonsense that you don’t want to go to Shu, do you want to say that you are determined to restore the country? Liu Chan endured humiliation, somehow saved his life, and finally died in Luoyang. He is also a subjugated king. Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was not much better than Liu Chan, complained because he wrote a few crooked poems, and was killed by the emperor of the Song Dynasty with a cup of poisoned wine."

"Heroes see the same thing!" Yu Fei held up his wine glass, "Unexpectedly, Boss Fang is my bosom friend."

With the previous foreshadowing, Fang Yubin no longer refuses to drink.He picked up his glass and drank it down.

Seeing that the wine was almost drunk, Yu Fei suggested again: "Fang is always a great talent. He is proficient in everything from mahjong to poker. There is a chess and card room in the private room, how about we have a game?"

Fang Yubin really admired Yu Fei for being able to associate playing mahjong and poker with great talents.However, Fang Yubin was somewhat addicted to cards, and with the catalysis of alcohol, he readily agreed: "Okay!"

Tong Xiaozhi doesn't know anything about the poker table, and if one of the three is missing, mahjong can't be made up.Fang Yubin, Yu Fei and Yang Yun had no choice but to ask the waiter to bring a pair of poker, and played Doudizhu.

In the first round, Yang Yun drew a card and became the dealer.Yu Fei was able to talk about the past and the present, and his jokes were even more unambiguous. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, you are sitting under the big beauty. You have to do your best to stand up and stand up hard."
