Cai Minde, who was a wealthy man, was considered a prominent figure in Bianliang, but he was completely ignored by one of his servants and a shabbily dressed boy.
What a shame!
He and Li Qi haven't met yet, so he can be forgiven, but Cai Laosan--if Li Qi hadn't been here, he would have slapped him long ago.
Cai Laosan, who suddenly woke up, suddenly complained in his heart and hurriedly made up for his mistake. He waved to Li Qi, squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Li, come here, come here, I will introduce you to a noble person."
"Noble?"
Li Qi was very "surprised".
"This high-ranking official is my master, a famous rich man in Tokyo, known as Cai Yuanwai."
Cai Laosan stretched out his hand towards Cai Minde and introduced with a proud face.
"Exceptor Cai?"
Li Qi suddenly took a breath of air, put aside Cai Laosan with a negligent hand, walked straight to Cai Minde, looked at Cai Yuanwai incredulously, and said in surprise: "Could this be the chef who once served as the chef in Cai Taishi's house, and then gave up the job?"
Rich Cai who is engaged in business?"
When Cai Minde heard Li Qi mention that part of his past, he frowned slightly and nodded with a smile: "I don't dare, it's Cai!"
"Oh my god!"
Li Qi suddenly exclaimed, almost scaring the frightened Cai Laosan beside him. Before the two masters and servants could react, Li Qi suddenly bowed deeply towards Cai Minde.
Cai Minde never expected that Li Qi would suddenly pay such a big gift. He was slightly startled, and hurriedly helped Li Qi up and said: "Master Li, please get up quickly. How can Mr. Cai be so virtuous and capable as to be able to bear such a big gift like this?"
After Li Qi stood up, he was extremely "excited" and said: "You are too humble to be a member. I have heard of Yuanwai's name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. To see you today is a great satisfaction for my life!"
Without even saying a few words, this flattery came.
But who doesn’t want to hear good words?
Cai Minde waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Li is joking, Cai is just a businessman who smells like copper, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"
"Yuanwai is too modest!" Li Qi shook his head and cupped his hands towards Cai Minde and said, "Yuanwai's heroic deeds back then have long been known to everyone. In my opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are Mr. Zhuge in the business world."
There were many literati and scholars sitting around. When Li Qi compared the man-eating Cai Minde with Mr. Wolong, he blew his beard and glared in anger. If he hadn't been afraid of Cai Minde's strength, he would have swarmed up and killed Li Qi.
The group fight started again.
But there were still some "angry young people" who mocked a few times in a low voice.
"Shameless villain!"
"Humph, another flatterer!"
"How can we eat while sitting under the same roof with such a shameless person? Brother Long Ting, I think we should find another place."
...
Li Qi didn't care about these sarcasms and found them quite amusing. You pedantic scholars know how to flatter those saints all day long, but you still have the nerve to talk about me. It's really a fifty-step laugh at a hundred steps.
When Cai Minde heard Li Qi praising him as the Zhuge Kongming in the business world, he was overjoyed, but suddenly he heard the sarcastic voices of the people next to him, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed. His old face turned red and he said with a smile: "Cai
How can he be compared with the saint Zhuge, who is really an insignificant businessman? I hope you won’t say it again, lest others hear it and make it a joke.”
You won't let me say it, but I still insist on saying that there is a reason to lose half of the money in gambling, but there is no reason to flatter someone half the time.
Li Qi glanced at those people disdainfully, then bowed to Yuanwai Cai and said: "Yuanwai is a man of great wisdom. Don't pay attention to the foolish words of those pedantic people who only shake their heads all day long. They rely on the shadow of their ancestors.
How can a person who eats know the hardships faced by Mr. Cai? I may ask you a bold question."
"Mr. Li, may I ask?" Cai Yuanwai hurriedly stretched out his hand to indicate.
No matter how stupid a person is, they will not stop others from flattering them.
"I heard that Yuan Wai was born in a farm family, but I don't know if that's the case!" Li Qi asked.
He had already figured out Cai Minde's life experience. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Cai Yuanwai was slightly stunned. Although he didn't know why Li Qi asked this question, he could see that Li Qi didn't mean to ridicule him. He nodded and sighed: "To be honest, Mr. Li, our ancestors have always been like this for generations."
Farming makes a living, and it’s only in my generation that--" At this point, he sighed again, shook his head and said, "It makes Mr. Li laugh."
"Respectable, respectable!"
Li Qi sighed, looked at Cai Minde with admiration, and said passionately: "Don't ask where the so-called heroes came from. I think the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, was not born in a peasant family, and he also founded the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years.
Although Yuan Wai came from a humble background, he created such a huge family business with his own hard work and sweat. Based on this alone, looking at the entire business community of the Song Dynasty, no one can match him. He is indeed a role model for our generation, even if it is true.
Comparing him to Zhuge is no exaggeration.
Furthermore, what about businessmen? Don’t businessmen have to sweat for every penny they earn? In my opinion, those people who are lazy and lazy all day long and don’t want to make progress and don’t know where the rice comes from are the most despised people.
of."
After these words, the so-called literati and scholars sitting here suddenly became speechless, and their faces turned red, but they just couldn't think of how to refute. Besides, Li Qi didn't name anyone who was lazy and lazy.
If anyone steps forward, wouldn't it be a sure sign that he's in the right position?
After Cai Minde heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, his face was so proud that he almost felt happy. He had always regarded his background as a stain that he could never get rid of in his life. However, Li Qi's words today made him feel happy.
Let him be proud of his origins.
Seeing his big boss so happy, Cai Laosan, who had always had to open his mouth to eat, realized that there is a world outside the world and there are people outside the world. This flattery can be used as a textbook.
So ashamed! So shameful!
However, Li Qi is not actually a flatterer. It's just that when he was with his father-in-law, who was on the Forbes list, he heard a lot of flattery, no matter how disgusting it was. Over time, he became even more flattering.
The essence of.
Besides, in fact, what Li Qi just said is not all lies. No matter how evil Cai Minde is, his achievements today are enough to prove that he is still outstanding.
It is precisely because of this that Li Qi must make him put down his guard against him. In this case, his winning rate will be several levels higher.
Anyway, flattery doesn't cost money, so why not do this kind of business where you can make sure profits without losing money.
"Okay! Well said!"
Looking at the faces of the talented scholars, Cai Minde felt particularly happy. He cupped his fists towards Li Qi and said, "After listening to the young master, Cai suddenly became enlightened. The young master's knowledge makes Cai very admired!"
"The members are laughing!"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "I just can't bear to see those people who slander members. Come on, come on, please take a seat."
