Chapter 268 Bite the Hook
Lu Yan regarded what he was going to do as carefully as reading, like writing. He took apart every stroke and drew, and made them into a whole in his heart. He didn't dare to say that it was perfect, but the whole was rigorous.
After every evening, he wandered between the college and Pingzhou City against the cold wind. Under the leadership of Lin Shiquan, he met and discussed with the people of the three sects and nine streams between the colorful restaurants and the quiet and elegant teahouses. He doesn't say much, and most of the time he listens to Lin Shiquan talk to people, and then occasionally inserts a sentence. After half a month, even if he didn't see any movement in the second room, he felt that he had gained a lot.
Today, he took the most critical step. He met Uncle Mei, whom Lin Shiquan respected most, and the place of the conversation was in Lin Jinrong's teahouse. Mr. Mei was unexpectedly young, but he was about thirty years old. He had no need for white face, was clear and thin, dressed in a low-key and simple manner, and there was a kind of elegance in his speech and manners. Talking and laughing made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze.
This is a real businessman who surprised him. Like the Tao family, the Wu family and the Lu family, although they are in business, they are not real merchants. They are all scholarly heirs, but they are more transmutable, so they are reserved about their identity and have different words and manners. And the other merchants he has met have a different temperament and dressing. Like Mr. Mei's demeanor, he is a scholar who is wandering outside, and no one will doubt it at all.
Mr. Mei sat there, familiarly playing with the tea set in front of him. He clicked the word "and" in the rabbit's cup of Jianzhou like flowing water. He smiled and gave it to Lu Yan with his hands, and said in pure official words, "See you for the first time. Please take care."
Such a person turned out to be the one who dominated the private market in Qingzhou. For several years, he had the most courage, the most ruthless means, the most subordinates, and the person who made the most money. Lu Yan did not dare to neglect, but he did not want to be suppressed and lost his identity. Therefore, he has the most sincere smile on his face and is extremely polite, but he speaks in a measured manner; "Teach care of each other."
Mr. Mei smiled; "Mei Baoqing. The president of the clan, the word is clear.
Lu Yan also reported his identity, took a sip of tea gently, and praised Mei Baoqing's excellent tea skills. Mei Baoqing heard a little interest; "Lu Xiandi is a tea-tknowing person. Why don't we have a tea party? As he spoke, he motioned to the people who served him; "Send someone to add another set of tea sets."
The little shoper was about to move. Lu Yan stopped and said with a smile, "If you laugh, you can't taste it, but the tea art is not good." The person who is proficient in this way is Lin Jinrong. Even outsiders know that this tea shop is Lin Jinrong's, and many people know that her tea art is pure. He also refuses to say it easily, as if he has a good baby in his own. He is afraid that people will covet it when they know it.
Mei Baoqing smiled and was not reluctant. After a few more chats, Lin Shiquan turned to the topic; "I have to ask my brother about what I said last time."
Mei Baoqing smiled and said, "Although this matter is just to borrow my name, it is in business, what's the benefit to me?"
If you need to ask for help, you will naturally have to pay the price. Lu Yan said, "I don't know what Brother Mei wants?"
Seeing that he was not tonic, Mei Baoqing did not fight with him; "Why don't you really open a wool knitting workshop in the future and make some exquisite and high-quality golden brown weaving brown. What about cheaper with me?"
Lu Yan was moved at the moment. It seems that the strategy of Lin Jinrong and Lin Shiquan is not groundless, but really has this prospect. On second thought, I couldn't help laughing. If it's groundless, how can I fool Lu Jianzhong and Lu Shao, two people who usually walk in the business field?
Seeing that he was speechless, Mei Baoqing smiled and said, "It's not that you want to post the book. At that time, you will always give it to me 20% lower than the market price. I want the most exquisite. If you do it again, it would be better if it is slightly lower than one.
But the quality is also the best.
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "This requirement is really not too much. It's a win-win situation. However, my business is Zhuo Jing's idea, and I have to ask her what she means.
Mei Baoqing smiled suddenly, half joking and half serious; "I can't see that the virtuous brother is still a fear. What if you answer me first? Anyway, whether it's your family's wool knitting workshop or soliciting, it's just a lie. Whether there will be any in the future is another story.
Only then did Lu Yan see the sharpness hidden under the gentleness of this person, and smiled gently; "I'm not talented, and I'm not afraid of the inside, but this matter is borrowed from clumsy Jing's wealth, and it is reasonable to listen to her opinions. She is a trustworthy and famous person, and I am also a trustworthy and famous person. I will do what I say. There is no reason to ask for help for nothing. If you really want to open a weaving workshop and solicit households in the future, you will definitely keep your promise. Brother Mei regards it as a joke, but I dare not really take it as a joke.
Mei Baoqing smiled and saluted, "Don't cheat, don't tell me, I'm abrupt, it's so good." With a wave of his hand, a custoler came up; "You can talk to Lao Fang about how to operate it."
Lu Yan didn't think he was lazy. He sent him to the tea shop gate with Lin Shiquan and planned seriously with the old man.
Since Lu Shao heard that Lu Yan and Lin Shiquan had an appointment with Mei Baoqing here, he could no longer sit still. He waited nearby and saw with his own eyes that Lu Yan and Lin Shiquan had sent Mei Baoqing out, so he quietly fell up. Just as he was about to come forward and pretend to meet Mei Baoqing, he saw the eldest son of the Wang family with two shoves, greeted Mei Baoqing with a smile, and dragged him away. He was caught off guard and had to sigh. But after listening, he stared at Lu Yan and told him, "Uncle, the second master sent the swindler of the Mei family out again."
Lu Shao gritted his teeth, folded back, and stood in the corner for a long time. Lu Yan, together with Lin Shiquan, accompanied the general manager and walked far away with a smile. Just now, he gritted his teeth to see where he was going, and he ran home quickly.
Lu Jianzhong was raised his feet high, and he was given a pedicure from the newly received beautiful room. Seeing that he suddenly broke in, his face was full of urgency, and he immediately drove the waiter down and said in a low voice, "How about it?"
Lu Shaodao; "I have never seen him contact with Fan Bao and Han Gen in the past few days. They are all secretive. Even talking with Mei Baoqing is in Lin Si's teahouse. Lin Shiquan led people to several surrounding counties in the daytime, inquired about the brown craftsmen, and gave the money and promised to use the real knife and gun. I also saw a stoler of the Tao family this morning. I guess he probably wanted to eat alone.
Lu Jianzhong stuffed his feet into his shoes and paced the room with his hands behind his back; "Eat alone... This is too short-sighted, so he is not terrible. He appeared after the Spring Festival, and he had the necessary capital. This is the best capital. Compared with your grandfather's appreciation of him, what can this little money be given to him? I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure. He won't just see that little bit. He must have to tell your grandfather. I didn't say anything to Fan Bao and Han Gen, I'm afraid no one would believe it. When he said it, everything was unshakable and steady. "It's a steady and cautious nature... How much brown has the Wang family collected in the past few days?"
Lu Shao was a little ashamed and almost fooled by Lu Yan; "A lot of the people near Pingzhou City are in the hands of his family. Yesterday, he sent a stoman to several surrounding counties to compete with Lin Shiquan. But the Tao family helped in Qingzhou, and the second brother was much better than the Wang family as usual. There was a little worry on his face; "The thing I'm worried about now is that Mei Baoqing has negotiated with them."
Lu Jianzhong's soles of his feet seemed to have been stabbed by [needle] and trembled suddenly; "Who is Mei Baoqing? Don't see rabbits, don't scatter eagles. The Wang family is also fighting. Maybe there are also big families in Qingzhou who like it. How can he easily respond to Lu Yan? There is still a chance! You, quickly release a carrier pigeon and let the stoman in Qingzhou start collecting brown hair! I will try to get up with Mei Baoqing immediately, and don't forget the Wang family. If necessary, you can have more money. Anyway, you can't let him do things!"
Lu Shao saw that he was relieved. Finally, he relaxed in his heart. "I'll go to my grandfather's place right away?"
Lu Jianzhong's eyes are heavy; "I will do it myself. Don't worry about it. Concentize yourself on doing the outside things well. You can only win and don't lose.
Deeper leakage, the night is as cool as water.
Lin Jinrong sat under the lamp and read the account book in his hand over and over again. Lu Yan sat quietly aside. When she stopped, Fang whispered, "How about it?"
Lin Jinrong looked up at him and said slowly, "The cost is really not small, but there is no way. Even if it doesn't work, it's still affordable." Thinking about so much money, she worked hard to earn, but she had to break it in for the fault of the Lu family, and her heart was very painful. He just wanted Lu Yan to say that no matter how much he sold, he would compensate her.
Lu Yan just said, "This must be done, and it should be done!"
"That's for sure." Lin Jinrong stroked his face and sighed, "This money comes slowly when you earn it, and it's really fast when you go."
Lu Yan squeezed his lips and smiled, "Otherwise, why are there a few people in the world who are rich?"
Really don't understand or fake don't understand? Lin Jinrong secretly hated it. I thought that at the end of the year, the stodian of his bead shop would definitely send money. He had to pick it out from there to fill the gap, but he didn't know how much the shop had gained in this year.
Lu Yan looked down at her and said, "You have taken good care of these days, and I have not been home for nearly half a month."
She has been out for a long time. In the past two days, someone from the Lu family has always come to deliver things to see her. In fact, it is a euphemism to urge her to go back. Lin Jinrong then pushed the boat along the water; "Then I'll order someone to clean up and go home tomorrow evening."
Lu Yan put his hand on the back of her hand; "Wait for me to pick you up."
