Country color

Chapter 79
All negotiations must be based on strength, otherwise even if you talk about hype.

Li Chongjiu looked at Chai Baochang, and saw that his complexion was very ugly. He smiled up to the sky, looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "Young man, you have some skills, but with your five or six thousand soldiers, do you think you can resist my twenty thousand army?"

Li Chongjiu raised his head and laughed when he heard this.

Chai Baochang stared and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "General Chai, I see that your Excellency has [-] soldiers and horses who have come from a long distance. The teachers are exhausted, and there are many old and weak in the team. I am afraid that there are only [-] young and strong who can really fight. Why are you talking about the two?" Wan Dajun."

Li Chongjiu glanced out, and Chai Baochang's eyes were intense, obviously poking at the opponent's mind.However, if Chai Baochang knew that Li Chongjiu's legendary five thousand troops, even if traders were included, the young and strong were only one thousand, he would be furious.

Chai Baochang was somewhat stern, and said: "You don't believe me, but you will know if our army is capable of fighting or not."

Li Chongjiu clasped his fists and said: "General Chai came from a humble background, but he has great ambitions. I admire him very much. I came from a mountain bandit, not to mention my humble status, and I am also a wanted criminal by the court. Therefore, if the general wants to oppose the court, I am determined to say nothing."

"However, our Li Family Escort Bureau is in business. It travels through Yanmen, Taiyuan, and Shangdang counties. Businessmen pay attention to peace and wealth. Although they are not afraid of fighting and killing, peace is the most important thing. If a After the war is over, even if you win, your brothers will suffer losses, and everyone in the bodyguard will have to show filial piety, the daughter-in-law will cry, the children will cry, and a large sum of money will be lost just for the settling expenses."

Seeing what Li Chongjiu said, Chai Baochang's face softened a little.

Li Chongjiu continued to speak: "So General Chai, let's see if we can discuss it. Let's pay a sum of money to buy the road. Everyone's road is open to the sky. How about going each side?"

"How much does it cost to buy the road?" Chai Baochang asked immediately.

Li Chongjiu smiled, stretched out two fingers, and said bluntly, "Twenty thousand dollars!"

Chai Baochang slammed, furious, and said: "Impossible, our brothers have traveled a long way and only paid 20 yuan. Who are you sending? I think your escort is worth a lot, at least [-] yuan! Otherwise, swords and soldiers will meet."

Hearing this, Li Chongjiu kept his face calm, but secretly smiled in his heart.This time, the bodyguards of the Li Family Security Bureau were worth about two to three million yuan. If they made a trip to and from Mobei, they would earn at least ten million yuan.

Escort Bureau according to the round-trip two profits, worth a share of three out of a hundred, get three or four hundred thousand dollars.But this time, in order to pass through Jiang County smoothly, the chamber of commerce pooled together a 40% share of the bodyguards, that is, 20 yuan to buy the road.

So Chai Baochang's counter-offer was really good enough to reach Li Chongjiu's upper limit.

Li Chongjiu said calmly: "General Chai, what are you going to use to fight? The county town Zhengping County has not been captured, how will you survive the winter with tens of thousands of horses, relying on a few small county towns, are you trying to rob the people for their livelihoods. In the future, you will not expect the people to support you against the imperial court."

When Li Chongjiu said this, Chai Baochang was stabbed in the face.Li Chongjiu knew that he had guessed the other party's mind. Anyone with ambitions had obvious goals, and it was easy to judge the direction of action.

Chai Baochang still has some ambitions, he belongs to the type who wants to get rich and also has character, he wants the hearts of the people in Jiangjun, so he refuses to use radical methods like Mu Duan'er, and he is shameless and treacherous.

Chai Baochang stared, and said: "15, there can't be a penny less."

It dropped [-] in one go.

Li Chongjiu still didn't agree, he shook his head and said: "General Chai, this escort can only be counted if he sells money in Mobei. Where is the money right now, that's all. Out of pocket, I don't need a single penny from the Li Family Escort Bureau, I will pay [-] yuan, if we pass through Jiang County, I will offer it as a safe money, so how about keeping a friendship with everyone in the future?"

Chai Baochang and Li Chongjiu bargained at the moment.Li Chongjiu is very familiar with this business negotiation.The two finally settled for [-] yuan.

After the price was negotiated, Chai Baochang looked at Li Chongjiu, his lips moved for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh, leading the army of 4 red scarf thieves to retreat for [-] miles.When the caravan learned that Li Chongjiu had only lowered the toll to more than [-] yuan, they couldn't help being incredulous.

So when most of the 20 yuan was refunded, all the merchants looked at the heavy sheepskin money boxes and peeped at each other.

But now is not the time for anyone to care about these things. After they paid the money and goods, the caravans and refugees rushed to the Taihang Mountain Road together, fearing that Chai Baochang would suddenly regret it.

After all the people had been running for tens of miles in a desperate manner, and they were exhausted and unable to support themselves, they stopped, convinced that they had finally saved their lives.

Because of the previous doubts, the shopkeepers were thinking about how to face Li Chongjiu with a different face, but the guys below did not have this worry at all.In everyone's opinion, Li Chongjiu became a hero who single-handedly broke into the [-] army without changing his face.

But Li Chongjiu was not in the caravan at this time, but led scouts behind him to monitor Chai Baochang's army to see if they caught up.

After the caravan heard about it, they were even more emotional. The rest of the people couldn't say anything about their complaints. Now everyone is pointing at Lin Dangfeng to say something.

The managers of all the merchants held torches while sitting on leather boxes to discuss matters in the wilderness. Although the conditions were simple, they couldn't take care of them.

One of the stewards said: "Boss Lin, we are not ignorant of what is good or bad. This time we escaped from the red scarf thieves all because of Li Shao's escort."

"We thought about it. After more than ten years in Mobei, everyone will still have to ask the Li Family Escort Bureau. No matter what, we must keep our friendship. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We advance and retreat together. What do you say, come up with a Come up with an idea."

Lin Dangfeng glanced at the merchants and asked, "Is this your decision, or everyone's decision?"

All the people in the caravan opened their mouths, and an older shopkeeper said: "Everyone thinks so. In the future, we will go back and forth to Mobei twice a year. Everyone is still strong in their bodies, at least they have to travel in this escort." We have been on the road for more than ten years. We are not as good at business as we are familiar with. This time, the Li Family Escort Bureau is reliable and reliable, and the young bodyguard is both wise and brave. We all admire it. I think we will entrust Li Family Escort Bureau when we go to Mobei gone."

"Today, everyone discusses this matter, and it's settled. As for dealing with people in the early stage, I think Manager Lin is the most experienced, so I'll leave everything to you."

All the merchants belong to different chambers of commerce, but this meeting is a certainty, and everyone will walk to Mobei together in a group.

Lin Dangfeng smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's great, but how can we establish friendship with the Li Family Security Bureau?"

After discussing for a while, the merchants said: "Isn't there 10,000+ money left this time? There is no cheap Chai Baochang, and it is considered as a profit, so how about giving it to Li Shao's escort?"

"Not enough." Lin Dangfeng shook his head and said immediately.

"Well, I also have a distant niece who is not yet young, so how about marrying the young escort?" Just as one person opened his mouth, all the businessmen sprayed him wildly.

One person said: "Qiu Laoxi, you are too stingy, if you can get in touch with the young escort, I have a daughter who will also marry, such a heroic young man, who would not want to accept him as a quick son-in-law!"

"Well, I won't just mention it like that."

All the businessmen were arguing together, and in the end, apart from giving Li Chong 95 yuan, nothing was discussed.

Lin Dangfeng thought for a while and said, "It's better than that, just do as I want!"
