Long Chen sat in the main seat, and Hong Qi, the owner of the Sifang Building, sat in the guest seat.
Hong Qi is seven feet tall, has a square face and a beard, and his eyes are small but bright, highlighting the shrewdness of the businessman.
"I've heard about Master Hong's name a long time ago, but I just got to meet him today."
Long Chen said with a smile.
Hong Qi said politely: "Long Shangshu's name is astonishing. I have always wanted to come and pay him a visit. However, Mr. Shangshu is busy with official duties and I only have to pay my respects today."
After everyone was polite, the servant placed a briquette stove in the middle and placed an iron kettle on top to slowly boil the water.
I took another small jar and three bowls, one big and two small.
"Your Majesty, your time is precious. It would be foolish of Hong not to tell you this. This time I am here to discuss business with you."
Hong Qi got straight to the point and explained his purpose.
Long Chen felt the same way, it was boring to be too polite and everyone was very busy.
"Then let's talk directly. How does Mr. Hong plan to talk about it?"
Long Chen first asked Hong Qi about his conditions.
Hong Qi's bearded face showed no expression, but his eyes shone with light as he said: "We, the Tianxia Association, will replace the Long Gang. What the Dragon Gang can give, we, the Tianxia Association, can also give."
The same conditions, but requiring a different channel provider, won't do any good at all.
Long Chen shook his head and smiled, and said: "Master Hong is not talking about business, he is here to rob."
Hong Qi remained calm and said: "Our world will be bigger than the Dragon Gang. If you cooperate with us, you will earn more under the same conditions."
Long Chen laughed and said: "If I don't cooperate with you, I will just make less money, but you won't make a penny."
"If I cooperate with you, I can earn more, and you can completely steal the Dragon Gang's profits, and more."
"Calculating the losses and gains, you are the bigger one, so I should refuse."
As long as Long Chen agrees, the world will immediately get huge profits, and it will be a sure huge profit.
This kind of business with guaranteed profit and no loss, Tianxiahui actually said it so confidently and with a condescending attitude, of course Long Chen would not agree to it.
Hong Qi's paralyzed face finally managed to squeeze out a smile, but it was even more ugly than not smiling at all.
"Sir, the money we give will not change, but we can negotiate."
It means that the shipping price we give you remains unchanged, but I will give you a rebate. This is easy to say.
Long Chen laughed dumbly and said: "Master Hong, I am a eunuch, what do I need money for? I have no children, no daughter, no mother-in-law, so I save money to buy a coffin?"
Hong Qi regained his paralyzed expression and asked, "How would you like to discuss it, Master Shangshu?"
This time it was Long Chen's turn to make a bid.
"Our cooperation with the Dragon Gang will not end. This cooperation is not only what I promised, but also represents the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. We cannot break our promises. Master Hong is a businessman, so you can understand."
Long Chen said slowly.
Hong Qi's beard trembled, and his eyes narrowed, making them look smaller, but with a ferocious expression.
"Long Shangshu is playing tricks on the world!"
Hong Qi's tone was very unkind.
He was entrusted by the president of Tianxiahui to negotiate on behalf of Tianxiahui, but he got such a sentence, and he felt that Long Chen was playing tricks on him.
"Master Hong, please be patient."
Long Chen stood up and walked down, picked up the jar, and poured some things from the jar into a large bowl.
Then he lifted the kettle that had been boiling, and there was a stream of steaming hot water everywhere.
As the hot water enters the large bowl, a peculiar aroma overflows.
Long Chen took his time and waited for the leaves inside to unfold before dividing two more cups.
He picked up a cup and placed it on the table next to Hong Qi. He also took a cup and took a sip. It felt like he was back to the time of tea tasting in modern society.
That's right, the little jar contains tea leaves.
After traveling through time, Long Chen used his memory to remember that there were such tea trees on Nanliang Mountain, and there were especially many of them near Linjiang City in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
He sent a message to Wu Jian, asking him to pick it and send it back to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible. Long Chen roasted the tea leaves himself.
"Master Hong, try it. This is green tea."
Hong Qi stared at the slightly green tea suspiciously, but did not move.
As a traveling businessman, I am very careful about what I eat and drink, for fear of being drugged by others.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Master Hong was poisoned in our Ministry of Industry. Isn't such a thing too shocking?"
Hong Qi laughed dryly, picked up the cup and took a sip. It was bitter in the mouth, but sweet when it entered the throat. It was a strange feeling.
"I have never drunk this kind of tea. This is... Lord Shangshu's new work?"
Hong Qi had long heard that the things Long Chen was selling had never been seen before. Beauty drunkenness, breastplates, cheongsam, etc. were all brand new.
"Yes, this is the green tea I made. Drinking it can prolong your life."
"Of course, it's hard to say whether you can prolong your life or live longer. You have to wait for decades. However, green tea can relieve fatigue and refresh you, and it is suitable for elegant literati who don't know how to drink."
"Also, the barbarians in the north eat meat and drink milk and are prone to illness. They boil water and drink this green tea, which can solve their problems and take effect within a few days."
"I just said that we have to be trustworthy and our cooperation with the Dragon Gang will not stop, but we can cooperate on new things."
"I can also tell Mr. Hong that green tea is just one of them, and I have many other good things."
"We will not terminate our cooperation with the Dragon Gang because we keep our word, which is also a good thing for you."
"If we are capricious, will you dare to cooperate?"
After Long Chen finished speaking, Hong Qi lost his original anger and was secretly surprised: This Long Chengen is really a genius. Who can come up with such a thing and be proficient in business.
"Can..."
Before Hong Qi finished speaking, Long Chen gave him another cup of tea.
Hong Qi drank one glass and then another.
After tasting it carefully, Hong Qi said: "Okay, let's start our cooperation with green tea."
"However, this green tea is a new thing, we want to try it."
When a new product is launched, whether it will sell well or not is a question. Hong Qi cannot believe it just based on Long Chen's words.
"No problem. I have a suggestion for Mr. Hong. You can hold a tea tasting poetry gathering in Nanliang. It will first become popular among literati and then trigger a trend of tea drinking."
"Of course, you can also start with the palace dignitaries. Emperor Li Chengdao of Nanliang heard that eating meat is uncomfortable, you can try it."
Hong Qi said, "I've heard long ago that Long Shangshu's cooperation not only provides products, but also provides sales advice. The rumors are true."
"Okay, I'll give it a try according to Lord Shangshu's suggestion."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I will deliver tea to Sifanglou. After the first batch of tea is sold, we will discuss the price."
Hong Qi paid his respects and said, "Your Majesty, this is interesting. Hong will take his leave."
After Hong Qi left the Ministry of Industry, Long Chen immediately sent someone to deliver the green tea to Sifang Building.
After the arrangements were made, Long Chen got up and went to Fengming Palace.
When they arrived at the door, the palace maid went in to report. Not long after, Long Chen entered the palace.
The empress is wearing a black cheongsam and high heels. She has a good-sized figure and the femininity exuding from her body is enough to enchant people.
Long Chen couldn't help but take a second look, and then stepped forward to pay homage: "Wei Chen has met His Majesty."
The empress walked over and said with a faint smile: "The clothes you made for me fit me very well, especially the breastplate. It fits me very well. You have a good memory."
hiss....
Long Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: What does the empress mean by this? Does she praise me or hurt me?
"When working for the Holy One, no humble minister dares to fail to do so with all his heart."
No matter what you mean, just reply first and then talk about it.
The empress sat on the couch, one leg resting on the other, leaning on the armrest, and asked: "Is the person from Sifanglou gone?"
