After Sun Yixie said this, Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi both agreed and turned around and went out.
Although Murong Ji and Liu Ming didn't know what "that" Sun Yixie was talking about, judging from his tone, it should be something to punish Xue and Tang.
Murong Ji also knew this method. The general process is as follows: two gangsters are negotiating. In order to put pressure on the other party, one of them will find any reason and let his subordinates perform a painful trick in front of the other party;
If the party applying pressure is willing to let the people down the steps, they will watch for a while, and then when the younger brothers are about to lose their strength, they will say something like "Forget it, forget it, I have something to say, don't embarrass me."
Well," the phrase was used, and the party applying pressure followed the situation with a few nonsense words like "Brother, you are so kind-hearted", and then asked the younger brothers to stop self-mutilation and carry him down for treatment.
After such a back and forth, the previous conflicts between the two parties can be considered "resolved", and both sides can get along with each other in terms of face, and then they can talk about things.
As for the younger guys who are responsible for playing the role of the bitter plot, don't feel aggrieved by them. These people have been promised in advance - if you play yourself dead or disabled, you will never be treated badly in terms of housing expenses, and if
If you survive in the end and can still continue to serve the boss, you will be able to take over as soon as you recover from your injury.
In fact, since ancient times, this kind of task of "stepping in for the boss" has been an excellent way for many incompetent minions to rise to the top.
To sum up, this bad habit based on the mixed culture and common to the green forest and the rivers and lakes can be regarded as a "three-win" from a certain perspective. Each party gets what it needs from it and does not feel that it is losing money.
Of course, at the moment, Murong Ji just speculates that Sun Yixie wants to play this trick with him. Is this actually true?
Ta-ta-ta...
After a while, there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the house.
The three people in the room heard the sound and looked towards the door. As a result, it was not Xue and Tang who came, but three waiters.
"Master, the pot is here." One of the leading waiters stopped outside the door and reported.
"Let's serve it," Sun Yixie replied casually.
"Hey." The waiter responded, stepped into the room, and then went straight to the table. He put his hand on the edge of the tablecloth and said, "You three, please take a step back."
When Sun Yixie heard this, he lifted his hands off the table and moved his body back a little. When Murong Ji and Liu Ming saw this, although they hesitated, they soon followed suit.
After their bodies and hands had left the table, the waiter flicked his wrist and pulled away the tablecloth covering the table.
Because he was very fast, after the tablecloth was pulled away, the teacups and teapots on the table were still intact, and not even a drop of the tea in the cup was spilled.
As for this move...it's not difficult to say, most ordinary people can do it after practice, but generally speaking, few people will use it in this kind of situation, because if they fail, they will spill the tea in front of the distinguished guests.
Whatnot, the consequences are quite serious.
But the ordinary waiter in front of him took off the tablecloth very confidently and calmly, which made Murong Ji and Liu Ming have to take a high look at the West Lake Seating.
"Everyone, please watch your steps." After taking away the tablecloth, the waiter said again and leaned under the table.
I don’t know what mechanism he used, but three seconds later, there was a "squeak" sound, and a plate-sized table board in the middle of the round table lowered.
After doing this, the waiter turned back and asked the other two people outside the house to bring in a special copper cooking pot that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
Obviously, the base of this pot can just fit into the recess of the tabletop.
After the guys set up the pot, Murong Ji and Liu Ming could see clearly that the pot on the table had already contained a large amount of base ingredients, ingredients, and an extra large, medium-rare tuna head.
Immediately afterwards, these guys went to get a large copper pot filled with soup stock, and while lighting the base of the cooking pot, they poured the hot soup into the pot.
When the fire is lit below and the hot soup is poured above, the delicious aroma of the ingredients instantly spreads throughout the room.
Although Murong Ji and Liu Ming were both familiar with it, when they smelled the aroma, they couldn't help but dilate their nostrils and salivate in their mouths.
"You two, this pot is simmering first, and we will eat other dishes later. After three or five cups, the flavor of the ingredients in the pot will come out." As Sun Yixie spoke, several more waiters came one after another.
Several plates of exquisite cold dishes and warm wine were brought.
The dishes in the cold dishes are all fish. Except for the sashimi spread on ice, which shows off the skill of the knife, Murong Ji and the others have never heard of or seen the cooking methods and types of other fish.
Of course, this is normal. Based on Sun Yixie's wonderful creativity as a time traveler, and with the cooking skills of Yuan Fangzhi who has studied "Taihe Gong's Secret Recipes", these dishes are naturally the best in this world.
Unique.
If you want to suppress people like Murong Ji, you have to use these "strange" things. After all, "expensive" things have long been used to him.
To make a long story short, the food and drinks were served, and the three of them started eating and drinking.
Anyone who has been at a wine table knows that when talking about things at a wine table, how can we do it without having a few drinks first?
And after they had a few drinks, Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi also came back.
"Master, we are here." Xue Tui said when he walked to the door.
Sun Yixie, Murong Ji and Liu Ming all looked towards Xue Tui and saw that Mr. Xue and Tang Weizhi were standing at the door with their heads lowered. Their appearance had only changed one thing compared to when they left -
—A large gold chain was added to each of their necks.
"Brother Sun, this is..." Murong Ji didn't quite understand how he could sing this.
Sun Yixie immediately clarified his doubts: "Brother Murong, can't you tell? I asked them to 'pay the money to plead guilty'!"
"Negative..." Murong Ji was just about to repeat these four words when he realized something.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He then thought to himself: "This boy... can't tell the difference between gold and thorns..."
"Brother Murong, don't be polite to me. You were right just now. These servants just can't do it without giving them a lesson." Sun Yixie took a bite of food and pointed at the two boxes at the door with the tip of his chopsticks.
He said, "As long as you don't say anything today, I will let them continue to be 'losing money', and it will be useless no matter who tries to persuade them!"
"Who the hell will come to persuade you?" Murong Ji cursed in his heart at that time, "Why don't you just wear a gold chain? You will wear it until you die and no one will care about you! The person with your surname Sun is not only illiterate, but
Are you still a fool?"
However, after calming down a little, Murong Ji thought again: "No... if he is really a fool, how could he be so big in business and gain such a reputation in the world? If nothing else...
Let’s just say that his West Lake Dining Room, from the decoration layout to the staff and dishes... this is definitely not something that a stupid boss can buy. I think... he is just pretending to be stupid."
Thinking of this, Murong Ji also understood the actions of Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi - to put it bluntly, Sun Yixie was reluctant to use these two people to make trouble, so he pretended to be stupid, pretending to be real, and thinking
Let your opponent get into trouble.
"Ha..." After taking a breath, Murong Ji took a sip of wine and chuckled, "Forget it, forget it, it's all over, let them pick it off, won't your neck feel sore from wearing it?"
He was also someone who had seen big battles, and he didn't want to waste too much time on this kind of thing with the other party, so he exposed this article lightly.
"Brother Murong, is this really the case?" Unexpectedly, Sun Yixie did not give the order immediately, but tilted his head and asked Murong Ji again with a wink.
Murong Ji knew what this meant, so he sighed and continued feebly: "Oh, of course it's true. Besides... thinking about it now, even if they were wrong, there was something wrong with me. I was so angry at the time.
, I smashed Brother Sun’s store and signboard, I have to compensate you.”
"Hey! Brother Murong, what are you talking about?" Sun Yixie said, "My people made mistakes first, how can I let you spend more money?"
When Murong Ji heard this, he thought to himself: "Are you fucking done with it? It's almost done. I'm going to get tired of saying this hypocritical thing again."
But on the surface, Master Murong still held back and continued: "It should be, it should be..."
In this way, after some hypocritical prevarication, Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi no longer needed to wear the big gold chains. After the two left, Murong Ji promised that someone would send 200 taels of silver to compensate Sun Yi on a certain day.
Harmony.
Perhaps some readers who understand the purchasing power of silver taels in our book will say at this time, is two hundred taels too much?
But in fact, if you calculate it carefully, in addition to the money spent on renovating the first and second floors of the restaurant and the money spent on soup and medicine by the clerks, this West Lake Lounge has also lost all its sales from the first day of May to today, and the place will also lose money in the future.
It won't be possible to reopen in a short period of time... After calculation, Brother Sun still gave in for two hundred taels.
"Brother Murong, let me tell you something from my heart..." After talking about the restaurant's compensation, Sun Yixie was ready to move to the next topic, "I think we still have a lot in common... Look, how old are you and me?
It’s similar, they just share the family’s worries and come out to seek wealth... It’s just that I have some foundation in Hangzhou, and Brother Murong, you are new here, and I was not here when you first came, so it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings and frictions. In fact,
It’ll be nice if the misunderstanding is cleared up.”
When Murong Ji heard this, he said, "Okay, are you saying that I ruined his fish market and other businesses?"
And Sun Yixie was just as the other party expected, and then said: "I will put it here today. As long as Brother Murong is willing to be friends with me in the future, we can make money together. In the past few days... my fish market
Whatever happened in the business or other transactions, I can treat it as if it never happened."
As soon as this statement came out, it seemed a bit obvious.
Murong Ji took advantage of the action of drinking and thought in his mind: "Huh...'make money together'? Look at what this means, this guy wants to cooperate with me. You are really not a fool, you are also very smart...you know...
It is far wiser to climb the big tree of our Murong family than to become our enemy."
"Oh..." Murong Ji said as he put down his wine glass, "I don't know, what does Brother Sun mean by 'making good friends'?"
Sun Yixie also took a sip of wine and said: "It's easy to say... I know Brother Murong wants to open Huanyi Pavilion to Hangzhou, but there are many dignitaries here, and the forces are complicated. There are many trivial matters that you can't settle for the time being...
"He said, holding out three fingers, "I think it would be better for me to step in and help Brother Murong choose a Feng Shui location and get rid of all the obstacles... I guarantee that you can open it within three months."
"So...brother Sun, do you have any conditions for helping me like this?" Murong Ji also followed Brother Sun's thoughts and asked this key question.
"What kind of conditions are there for our good brothers to be loyal?" Sun Yixie blurted out a false sentence at first, and then he changed the subject and continued, "It's just... Brother Ruo Murong's Huanyi
After the pavilion is built, I can take care of all the related business outlets around the casino...such as food sellers, liquor sellers, pawn shops, etc...then I can count as a little bit of you, brother.
no?"
When Murong Ji heard this, a stone fell in his heart.
If Sun Yixie behaved too smart, or too stupid and crazy today, Murong Ji would find it difficult. But now, in Murong Ji's opinion, Brother Sun's performance is "just right for me to control."
level.
Murong Ji knew very well that although the profits from "other businesses around the casino" were not as good as the casino itself, they were still considerable. As a businessman and local gangster, it was reasonable and understandable that Sun Yixie would covet this profit.
If Murong Ji refused to give up even a cent despite his death, Sun Yixie would continue to make a fuss about the fish market and other businesses that were affected by him. What awaited them would be an all-out war.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if Murong Ji wins this battle, it is unlikely that he will completely eradicate the Sun family, which has deep roots in Hangzhou. After he opens Huanyi Pavilion later, he will not be able to completely eradicate the Sun family.
There will be no peace.
But if Murong Ji gives up this benefit and "befriends" Sun Yixie, then Sun Yixie can not only help him clear many obstacles in the start-up stage, but also the surrounding areas of Huanyige will have the Sun family's protective umbrella for a long time in the future.
, can help them block a lot of things.
After all, this is a win-win situation.
After Murong Ji figured this out, he looked at Liu Ming beside him; as a bodyguard and counselor, Liu Ming could figure this out.
The two of them spent a few seconds exchanging glances and nodding to each other. Murong Ji's confidence was in place, so he immediately laughed, raised his glass and said to Sun Yixie: "Hahahaha...
Okay! Brother Sun is a cheerful person, so I will also make you my friend. What you said...I agree."
"Okay! Then we have an agreement!" Sun Yixie also smiled and drank with the other party.
After that, the three of them chatted happily, eating plates of exquisite food and jugs of fine wine, and unknowingly they continued chatting until midnight.
After drinking and eating, Murong Ji, who had already put down his guard, was already 80% drunk, and even Liu Ming was half drunk.
The two said goodbye to Sun Yixie, then drove back to the house with the twenty elite thugs downstairs who had been hungry for four hours.
On the way, Murong Ji even said to Liu Ming: "Young Master, do you think I am smart and capable? In just one meal, I took this Hangzhou Sun Yixie as a dog."
And Liu Ming also followed the young master's wishes and flattered him a few times.
The two of them chatted without saying a word, and before they knew it, they had returned to the manor where Murong Ji lived.
Murong Ji bought this manor in full directly after he came to Hangzhou. According to today's terms, it was considered a suburb, but because the "city center" was not very large at that time, it was not too far away.
When Liu Ming helped the drunk Murong Ji out of the car, one of their thugs had already walked to the gate to call the door.
But the strange thing is that the thug just reached out and slapped... the door of the manor was pushed open.
"Eh?" The thug also felt strange. Why was the door ajar in the middle of the night?
While he was wondering, the door in front of him slowly opened, and the courtyard behind the door was dark and silent, and the servants who were supposed to be on duty nearby were nowhere to be seen.
"What's going on?" Liu Ming had already supported Murong Ji and walked closer.
When the thug heard this, he immediately turned around and replied: "Mr. Liu, something is wrong. The gate is not closed, there is no one in the courtyard, and there is not even a light left for the young master."
"Huh?" At this moment, an ominous premonition quickly rose in Liu Ming's heart, causing most of his drunkenness to dissipate.
"You guys..." The next second, Liu Ming hurriedly rushed to the thugs holding torches and lanterns around him and said, "Quick... go in and take a look to see if there are anyone alive in the village..."
