Feng Yinu glared at Li Qi angrily, wondering why this man had so many obscene things in his mind.
"Master Li, please come in."
At this time, the old man inside suddenly spoke, his voice was very hoarse.
Li Qi was surprised: "Old man, do you know me?"
The old man smiled and nodded, and then said to Feng Yinu: "Ms. Feng, thank you very much."
Feng Yinu nodded slightly and said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore and say goodbye." Then she turned around and went downstairs.
Li Qi stood at the door, confused. Just now he listened to the conversation between the old man and Feng Yinu. It seemed that their relationship was not like that of a father and daughter, let alone a relationship between a man and a woman. Moreover, it seemed that the old man was aiming at someone.
He came.
"Master Li, please come in."
The old man said again.
Li Qi first glanced inside and saw that there were no men with knives or swords inside, only two maids. He felt a little relieved and walked in.
The house is not big, only thirty square meters. It is clean and tidy, and is very elegantly furnished. The furnishings are elegant yet noble. There is a Yao Qin placed on the long table in front of the window, and there is also a Yao Qin beside the Qin.
A porcelain vase with several willow branches.
It seems that this is not Feng Yinu's boudoir, because there is not even a bed, it is probably just a piano room or something like that.
"Please take a seat."
The old man smiled slightly.
"Thanks."
Li Qi replied politely and looked at the old man, but saw that his beard and hair were all white, his eyes were cloudy and dull, and his face was old and wrinkled, but his face was kind and friendly, just like a neighbor's.
Grandpa, you shouldn't just look pale and sick.
"I feel very guilty for delaying Master Li and Lady Feng's dance practice." The old man said with half-lidded eyes.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."
Li Qi hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "Who are you?"
"The old man's surname is Fan, and the name is correct." Fan Zheng said with a smile.
He said this calmly, but Li Qi was shocked when he heard it. Fan Zheng? Isn't it Fan Shaobai, his father, the big boss of Fan Lou? He was confused and thought to himself, could it be that this old guy saw his son?
If it fails, I will take action personally. Want to force me to sell my shares in the bar to him?
Fan Zheng glanced at Li Qi's expression and suddenly said: "Master Li, please rest assured that I am not here just for the bar."
Damn it! How the hell does he know what I'm thinking?
Li Qi glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Fan. I have admired you for a long time."
"Brother Fan?"
Fan Zheng was stunned and said with a wry smile: "My child acted recklessly. I have offended Master Li. I apologize to you on my behalf. It's just that Master Li wants to be my uncle. I'm afraid he's still a little too young."
What a master!
Seeing that he had been exposed, Li Qi smiled and said: "How dare you, how dare you, I just saw that Mr. Fan - Mr. Fan is in good spirits and is always getting stronger. This 'Brother Fan' couldn't help but blurted out. Mr. Fan must not be offended."
Fan Zheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm already ready when I come to see you."
"What preparations do you need to make to see me?" Li Qi asked curiously.
Fan Zheng chuckled and said: "Any preparation."
Damn it! Doesn’t that mean you didn’t say anything?
Li Qi rolled his eyes, and then asked: "Then why does Mr. Fan come to me?"
Fan Zheng said seriously: "I came here this time because I still want to discuss cooperation with Master Li."
"Talk about cooperation?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Then Mr. Fan should go and talk to my wife."
"It's all the same, it's all the same." Fan Zheng nodded.
It seems like this guy is really well prepared.
Li Qi glanced at him suspiciously, but could not see anything except paleness and turbidity. He was wary. He said: "If Mr. Fan wants to hear my opinion, I will still say the same old saying, from the bar.
Brother, we, Zuixianju, will never give up any more to others, and there will be no result if we continue talking about this matter."
"This old man understands."
Fan Zheng sighed and said: "Actually, I wanted to talk to Master Li about Japan, but my old bones were good and bad, so I had no choice but to send him to Xiao'er. I never thought that the evil man would do it."
You are so smart---" At this point, he sighed bitterly.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "But you didn't expect that Mr. Ling thought that our Zuixianju was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was in danger, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation to gain more benefits for himself. I don't know if I can
I made a mistake."
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "My stupidity makes you, Master Li, laugh."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I don't dare. There is nothing wrong with asking the young master to do this. We all have different positions. If it were me, maybe I would do the same thing."
"Master Li will definitely not do this." Fan Zheng shook his head slightly.
Is it so powerful? Li Qi frowned and said, "Why does Mr. Fan dare to be so sure?"
Fan Zheng chuckled and said: "Because Master Li is a sensible person, how can you not see the current situation clearly? If you do this, you will undoubtedly dig a big hole for yourself. Master Li is so smart, how can he do this?"
Stupid thing."
Sweat! Does your old man know how to read minds? He knows everything about what I am thinking. He flatters me so well. This man must not be simple.
Li Qi laughed and said, "Mr. Fan is too flattering."
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "What a shrewd person Cai is, yet he has suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Master Li. Although my son is about the same age as Master Li, when it comes to doing business, he is still far behind."
Already."
"Mr. Fan, you are saying the opposite. Now we in Zuixianju are beaten by that member Cai and are unable to fight back." Li Qi smiled helplessly, but he was also thinking secretly in his heart. Fan Zheng was looking for
What is the real purpose of his coming?
Fan Zheng shook his head and smiled: "Master Li is too modest. Now your business in Zuixianju is much better than that of the small shop and Jade Pavilion. Master Li's simple Romance of the Three Kingdoms can rival Cai Yuanwai's huge wealth. Now Jade Shop
Xuan sells meat for one day and pays for one day. No matter how you calculate it, Master Li won this first confrontation."
Li Qi sighed and said, "So what? If the shop still can't get meat in a few days, then it will be useless."
"This is also the purpose of my coming today." Fan Zheng said calmly.
Li Qi frowned and said, "Are you willing to sell meat to us?"
Fan Zheng suddenly coughed a few times and gasped: "No--it's not just that."
"What do you mean?" Li Qi asked in surprise.
Fan Zheng finally recovered under the care of his maidservant, and then said: "I can give you everything you need now."
Li Qi's heart was shocked, his brows furrowed, and he said: "Everything you need?"
Fan Zheng asked: "Do you know why Yuanwai Cai was able to deal with you Zuixianju together with twenty restaurants?"
"Because Zui Xianju has caused panic among them. Moreover, regarding the crab roe feast last time, I said in front of Master Cai that the dishes cooked by the chef in their restaurant were harmful to Master Cai. Although they didn't say it, they definitely held grudges.
I'm sure you'll also care about it," Li Qi said.
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Winning is winning, losing is losing, and the old man must be convinced of losing."
Fan Zheng said that when he came to this point, he sighed softly and said: "Your Zuixianju has just opened, and you don't even have a foot shop to help sell wine. They will continue to be like this until Cai Yuanwai defeats you Zuixianju.
, then will they let Fan Lou go? Those restaurants have long been eyeing the small shop. I'm afraid that as long as Cai Yuanwai makes a slight move, they will work with Cai Yuanwai to deal with us. In other words, now in Bian
We are in the capital, Fan Lou and Zuixianju are on the same boat."
He said so much in one breath that he began to breathe a little again.
Li Qi felt that Fan Zheng's words were a bit too low-key. He smiled and said: "Mr. Fan, you overestimate them too much. With Fan Lou's strength, even if Cai Yuanwai wants to take action, I'm afraid he still has to weigh it. Other restaurants will
Needless to say."
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "If I were still alive, I wouldn't be afraid of them. It's a pity that I don't have much time left, and Shaobai is still too young and needs more training."
Why does this sound a bit like asking someone to leave someone alone at the end of the day?
Li Qi became more and more confused the more he listened.
Fan Zheng added: "To be honest with Master Li, what I was most afraid of at the time was that Master Li and Yuan Cai would cooperate. That was definitely not good news for Fan Lou. With your strength, even if I was still alive, I'm afraid
There is too much ambition but not enough strength, let alone children."
"How did you know that Yuan Cai had been looking for me?" Li Qi asked in surprise.
Fan Zheng smiled lightly and said: "Bianliang City is not that big, so there are no walls that are airtight."
It seems that this old man has been guarding against this for a long time. How come I didn't notice it at all.
Li Qi frowned and said, "Now that you see Feicui Xuan turning around to deal with Zui Xianju, you know that I have not reached an agreement with Cai Yuanwai, so you came to me to discuss cooperation."
"good."
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "I'm just curious as to why you didn't agree to him. I know that although Mr. Cai is ruthless, he always values talents very highly. He must have given you a lot of temptations at that time."
You must have never imagined that he would even give me Jade Pavilion.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, it's just a pity that we didn't think of going together. He wanted to monopolize the entire restaurant industry in the capital, but I didn't have the time, so the negotiation didn't work out. It's not as complicated as you think."
"I didn't expect Master Li to be a sweet-tempered person."
Fan Zheng smiled slightly and said: "I have known about Mr. Cai's ambition for a long time, but in my humble opinion, even if he kills us all, he still can't achieve his goal."
"oh?"
Li Qi frowned again and said, "Are you talking about the imperial court?"
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Salt, tea, and wine are all controlled by the imperial court, and restaurants are heavily taxed. The imperial court is still thinking about how to increase the alcohol tax. If Cai Yuanwai monopolizes the entire restaurant industry, then he will have the capital to
We have negotiated with the imperial court, and the price of wine will not be decided by the imperial court. Do you think the imperial court would like to see this situation?"
It seems that ginger is still spicy.
Li Qi nodded and said, "Mr. Fan is right, but how are you going to help me?"
Fan Zheng lowered his head and asked instead, "Then what are your plans?"
