Zhao Guozheng looked puzzled after hearing Xu Qing's words: "Are there different types of busy people?"
After some conversation, Xu Qing quickly discovered a problem.
That is, Zhao Guozheng was not busy during this period of time, and he was not busy except when he was with his wife at noon and evening.
This girl, Long Bing'er, is a double liar!
Where is this silly girl?
This is so smart!
It seems that I eat a lot of walnuts at home.
All made up.
In front of the envoy from the State of Zhao, it was not easy to expose Long Bing'er's little thoughts. He just coughed and said: "It is true that I have just finished my work recently."
Zhao Guozheng envoy said: "The Anding County uncle talked about the cooperation issue with me..."
Xu Qing said: "Of course we are ready. Mr. Lu, please come with me."
On the way to the Guoshangyuan
Xu Qing and Zhao Guozheng asked as they walked: "Do the officials in your country like Liuli?"
The envoy of Zhao Guozheng nodded and said: "My uncle from Anding County also knows that Buddhism is very prosperous in our Zhao country, and there is even a royal temple in the capital. As one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, colored glaze is naturally very popular. Your Majesty, I, loves colored glaze very much." , there are also glass utensils placed in the Imperial Study Room all year round."
"At the last glaze exhibition in your country, I also purchased several pieces of glaze utensils, which I plan to present to His Majesty when I return home."
This is true. Buddhism is extremely prosperous in Zhao State. Although it does not have the name of a state religion, it has the actual status of a state religion.
Not only were the royal temples in the capital prosperous, they also had special funding from the imperial court.
Whenever large-scale sacrifices were held, Emperor Zhao would also hold them in the royal temple in the capital.
As one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, it is natural for Liuli to be popular in Zhao State.
The envoy of the State of Zhao is also very smart and knows how to do what he wants.
Even if the cooperation with Xu Qing turns out to be bad in the end, he can still offer two glazed artifacts to please the Emperor of Zhao.
At least he can retain his original position. If the glazed artifact can make Emperor Zhao happy, he may even be promoted to another level.
In the end, I'm afraid the money to buy the glazed utensils will come full circle in the end and Emperor Zhao will come out, right?
If nothing else goes wrong, the Emperor of Chu would not only get Liuli's money, but also pay a large sum of money for his travel expenses under the Zhao Guozheng's sweet words.
At that time, Zhao Guozheng will not only retain his original position, but also make a lot of money.
Xu Qing saw clearly all the little thoughts of Ambassador Lu.
It’s outrageous that a country like this, with serious corruption, redundant officials and the use of civil servants to control military generals, still has money?
It really makes people envious and jealous.
Xu Qing suddenly understood why Chu and Zhou bullied Zhao so much in the first place.
Not necessarily because Chu and Zhou wanted to dominate the world, but because they were jealous of a corrupt and incompetent yet extremely prosperous country!
Why?
The Chu and Zhou dynasties here worked hard to govern and saved so much money.
Looking back, wow!
Emperor Zhao was a late-blooming second-generation rich man.
A prodigal who thinks about working hard every day to spend money every day, but the money seems to have the ability to reproduce, the more he spends, the more he spends.
Just such a master.
If you say it's not annoying, it's all lies!
Emperor Chu and Emperor Zhou may have only one thought in their minds right now, and that is:
Let the Emperor of Zhao go bankrupt!
It’s so irritating!
…
The two walked into the Guoshangyuan and arrived at the small courtyard where Xu Qing worked. Xu Qing led Ambassador Zhao Guozheng into his office.
There is a bed in the office.
Sometimes I finally get back to work, and when I'm tired, I'll lie down on it and rest for a while.
Of course, this happens rarely, especially in the summer, when I have never had a day of serious class.
Xu Qing pulled out a box from under the bed, which he had prepared a long time ago.
The envoy of Zhao Guozheng looked at the box that Xu Qing pulled out. Although he had some guesses in his mind based on Xu Qing's question when they were on the road, he still asked: "This is..."
Xu Qing opened the box, and suddenly a whole box of colored glaze was placed in front of his eyes, so bright that it almost blinded the eyes of the envoy from the State of Zhao.
Zhao Guozheng looked at the bright colored glaze in the box. Although he was prepared in his heart, he was still shocked and murmured: "How come there are so many...high-grade colored glaze..."
Xu Qing looked at Zhao Guozheng and said, "I wonder if this box of colored glaze is enough to make you rich?"
The envoy of the State of Zhao looked at Xu Qing and said: "Does your country really want to use this box of colored glaze in exchange for the State of Zhao giving up the alliance?"
Xu Qing looked at Zhao Guozheng and asked: "Isn't it enough?"
Zhao Guozheng's belly trembled, and he said quickly: "That's enough, that's enough, but how did Chu get so much high-grade colored glaze? And it's so generous?"
Xu Qing sighed and said: "There is no way, just spend money to ward off disasters. This box of colored glaze, after the official returns to the country, we Chu State will not care how much he hands over, how much he keeps, or how many gifts he gives. As long as your country and Zhou State are not in alliance."
, then let Lu Zhengshi arrange this box of colored glaze, how about it?"
The envoy of Zhao State looked at Xu Qing and said seriously: "Don't worry, Uncle Anding County, Zhao Guo and Zhou State will definitely not form an alliance when Lu returns this time!"
Xu Qing looked at the stern envoy of the State of Zhao and said with a smile: "I believe in the envoy Lu. By the way, soon a batch of colored glaze will arrive in the State of Zhao under the secret escort of the Guoshang Yuan. This is also our Chu State.
I want to sell the last batch of colored glaze I have hidden at a good price in your country to use it as military supplies."
"There will be a war between the State of Zhou and the State of Chu soon. If the military resources are insufficient, the morale of the army will be unstable. However, the capital of the State of Zhao is too far away from the capital of the State of Chu, and the State Council of Commerce is beyond its reach. Can you please take care of us when the time comes?
The caravan of the Guoshangyuan will provide necessary protection. When the time comes, 30% of the proceeds from the sale of this batch of Liuli will belong to Lu Zhengshi. What does Lu Zhengshi think?"
After hearing what Xu Qing said, Zhao Guozheng frowned and said, "It's okay, but it's just that Lu will only take half of the profit this time."
Xu Qing was slightly startled. Are there any fools in the world who keep money for nothing?
Zhao Guozheng said with an expressionless face: "Although the Lu family in Zhao State cannot be compared with other century-old families, they are still somewhat powerful after all. It is only a piece of cake for your country to sell Liuli by providing some care. Half of the profit is enough."
, if Anding County Uncle doesn’t agree, let’s find someone else to handle this business.”
When Xu Qing heard this, he could only say: "Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate. It is really pleasant to cooperate with people like Lu Zhengshi. Our National Business Institute is now prosperous. In the future, it will involve Zhao Guo's business, and it is inevitable to cooperate with Lu Zhengshi."
, please also ask Lu Zhengjiang not to be upset when the time comes."
Only then did Lu Zhengshi reveal a smile again on his face and said: "No, no, Uncle Anding said something serious, he said something serious."
Lu Zhengshi also understood why Xu Qing did what he did. He was obviously afraid that he would not do anything after taking the money. What he just said was telling him that Chu State still had benefits to give, so don't just focus on the petty profits in front of you.
.
But the Anding county uncle obviously underestimated his credibility.
It is true that Lu Heng is greedy for money, and he also loves power.
But he still understands the principle of using people's money to eliminate disasters for others.
Who is the Anding county uncle looking down on with his actions?
Who doesn’t know that Zhao is the country that is best at doing business?
What’s the first thing to talk about when doing business?
Be honest!
Of course he understands this.
The business of profiteers will not last long. The small advantage they take today will be a big hidden danger in the future. They may lose something in the future...
