Five hundred and eighteenth chapter envoy to Jin Kingdom
Li Qi brought Chen Anan into the house and said sternly: "Anan, the eldest brother has no return date this time. The family business depends entirely on you. After you go back, let Xiaoyu focus on the group company for the time being.
Above, I used to want to wait for her to find a suitable candidate to take charge of Zuixianju instead of her before letting her officially serve as the top executive officer. Now it seems that I have to do it earlier. In addition, I will send a divorce letter later.
Give it to Qiniang, let her sit in my seat in the company, and leave all business matters to them."
Chen Anan said oh, and suddenly asked: "What about that lady?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Madam is too kind and not suitable for business. I will leave the internal management to Madam and Uncle Wu. In addition, I will leave full authority to you at the bar now."
Chen Anan was not very confident and said: "Can I do it?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "In extraordinary times, you have to do it even if it doesn't work."
Chen Anan groaned and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Fan to help?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Fan Shaobai is a businessman after all, so I can't be trusted. I don't want to lose control of the bar. Also, if you tell Qiniang and them what new opinions the Zhengmeng will put forward, you will use my absence as an excuse.
Let’s put it off later.”
Chen Anan scratched his head and asked, "Why is this?"
Li Qidao: "The current Jinlou is still unable to compete with us. If she wants to trick us, Zhengmeng will be her best choice, so we don't need to pay attention to Zhengmeng for the time being, so as not to be fooled by Zhang Chuner. By the way.
, and you have to be careful of that old fox Cai Minde.”
Chen Anan said: "Brother, Old Fox Cai is scared by us now, does he still dare to act recklessly?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "You underestimate the old fox. Look, our business has been getting better and better since the opening of Zuixianju. Jade Pavilion is so close to us. Normally, the business should be greatly affected.
, but look at Jade Pavilion, not only is it not bad, but it is much better. Whatever we do, the old fox immediately learns to do it. This is his skill, so we must not relax our vigilance against him."
"oh."
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a moment and write a few letters. You can help me bring them to Qiniang and the others."
As he spoke, he ordered someone to find some chicken and goose feathers.
About an hour passed.
Li Qi handed four letters to Chen Anan. These three letters were to be handed over to Bai Qiannuo, Ji Hongnu, Mrs. Qin and Zhong Shidao respectively. He said: "Remember, these letters cannot be given to others easily.
I saw it, especially the letter addressed to General Zhong."
"Hey, I remember."
"Well, you go back and have a rest early. We have to go on a journey tomorrow."
"yes."
When Chen Anan walked to the door, Li Qi shouted again: "Wait a minute."
Chen Anan asked: "Brother, is there anything else?"
Li Qi hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you can go."
"oh."
After Chen Anan left, Li Qi let out a long sigh. He looked slightly worried. Only today did he realize that he had been too cautious in the past. He handled almost all business with one hand. He was responsible for the entire Zuixianju Group by himself.
He was walking forward, so now he really couldn't bear to leave the business to Mrs. Qin, while Qiniang and the others took care of it.
The next day.
"Brother, just take us there. Since we have nothing to do back in Beijing, we might as well go and help you."
"Yes, Brother Li, we came out together, of course we have to go back together, otherwise we will be scolded for being unloyal."
When Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiuyi heard that Li Qi and others were going to the Kingdom of Jin, they both clamored to go together.
Help us? If I take you two as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, will I still be able to come back alive? Li Qi shrugged and said with a smile: "I don't care, but I don't make the decision here, so it's useless for you to beg me."
Zhao Kai shouted in a deep voice: "You two should stop messing around. This matter has not been discussed. You should go back quickly."
Zhao Liangsi laughed and said: "Kang'er, before I come, your father will definitely clamor to go to the Kingdom of Jin even if you get here, so he specially told me to ask someone to take you back. If you don't want to, I will kidnap you."
I have to kidnap you back."
When Gao Yanei heard this, he knew that this matter was hopeless, so he reluctantly said, "Oh."
A group of people walked out of the yamen together, and saw that Liang Song, Ximen Fan and the bearded man had been put into the prison car. The three of them all had sunken eyes, darker than the eyes of a panda, and their lower bodies were trembling all the time. In this noisy place
They all fell asleep despite the environment, which shows how hard they worked yesterday.
Yao took Yue Fei to the side and taught him earnestly, while Li Qi went to Chen Anan and explained some matters. After Li Qi finished speaking, Ma Qiao called Chen Anan aside and gave him a letter, asking him to take it with him.
To Lu Meimei.
After about half an hour, Gao Yanei and the others set off first.
"Brother, Li Qi, we are leaving first, you should take care of yourself."
"Brother Li, take care."
"Well, take care of yourself along the way."
After Gao Yanei and others disappeared from sight, Zhao Kai finally let out a sigh of relief and said: "Finally these two troubles are gone, let's set off."
Li Qi hummed and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, how many people did you bring with you on this trip?"
Zhao Kai was stunned and said: "There are almost five hundred people, three hundred of them are my personal soldiers, and there are also some companions sent by the Ministry of Rites."
Li Qi frowned and said, "We only have so many people, but now we are going to the Jin people's territory."
Zhao Kai rolled his eyes and said, "So what? We are not going to fight."
"That's true."
"Let's go."
After a while, the group set off in a mighty manner.
Li Qi, Zhao Kai, and Zhao Liangsi rode in a carriage, and several officials from the Ministry of Rites rode in a carriage. Now the horse bridge was very exciting. Finally, there was a horse to ride on, and it could be ridden for a long distance, but this
Siye really doesn't understand any rules. It's as if he is the only one left in the world. He doesn't care about other people's feelings. He rides a horse and runs around alone. He also wants to ask Yue Fei to run with him. Yue Fei is such a rule-abiding person.
, must have decisively refused, and kept following the left rear of Li Qi's carriage, keeping vigilance at all times.
"Tsk tsk, Your Highness, your carriage is really spacious. It can be used as a RV. It seems that I will have to get one in the future."
Zhao Kai chuckled and said, "This is what my father gave me. If you get one too, then you will be blessed."
"Ah? I'm just saying this casually. Don't take it seriously." Li Qi chuckled and said, "By the way, where are we going to negotiate?"
Zhao Liangsi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The team had already set off. He didn't know where the destination was yet, so how could he talk about it? "We are going to Yanjing's Xijin Mansion this time."
"Yanjing?" Li Qi opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Isn't that our territory?"
Zhao Liangsi said sarcastically: "It is still under the control of the Jin people."
"Sao, Sao, I forgot." Li Qi chuckled and said: "I said this Jin man is too troublesome. If you want to talk, just send someone to talk. Anyway, their horses are faster, why let us go?
Yes, it’s true.”
It seems that we have always wanted to talk. Zhao Liangsi said: "The Jin people said that they were treated unfairly in the last negotiation, so for the sake of fairness, let us go to them to talk this time."
"Stingy! You are so stingy. Last time the three of them said it was unfair for me to be alone, they said it was unfair. It is really unreasonable." Li Qi took a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth. He said, "Then let's go this time.
Who are you talking to?"
Zhao Liangsi said: "I heard that Jin Taizu is also in Yanjing, so I guess he will talk to us in person."
"Ahem, cough, cough." Li Qi coughed violently and finally vomited out the candied fruit. He said in surprise: "You said we are going to talk to Wanyan Agu this time?"
"Um."
"Damn! Then our momentum will be much weaker."
Zhao Liangsi shook his head and said: "I have dealt with Jin Taizu several times. I think he seems to hope to settle this matter as soon as possible. The key is that his sons are more difficult to deal with, especially Wanyan Zongwang.
People are good at scheming, and every time when matters about Yunzhou are discussed, Wanyan Zongwang will look to his left and talk to others, speaking vaguely and speaking in a flawless manner."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? They have princes, and so do we." Then he turned to Zhao Kai and said, "Your Highness, do you think so?"
Zhao Kai's fair face showed a trace of blush, he shook his head and said: "Stop teasing me, I heard that Wanyan Zongwang followed his father in the north and south, and made countless contributions, and I..."
At this point, he couldn't go on anymore. He had always been a proud man, but in terms of his contribution to his motherland, he really couldn't compare with Wanyan Zongwang.
Moreover, you must know that in a few years, Wanyan Zongwang will surround Kaifeng Mansion with lightning speed. This is the first time that the Central Plains region has been threatened by such a big threat. How can Zhao Kai compare with it.
Seeing Zhao Kai's embarrassment, Zhao Liangsi quickly changed the subject and said: "Li Qi, the emperor has high hopes for this negotiation and hopes that we can succeed immediately. The emperor also said that if the Jin Kingdom is willing to make concessions, Yunzhou and others will be
If the land is returned to us, we can also make some concessions and pay taxes to them."
This emperor is really a weakling. Li Qi said calmly: "Is this our lowest price?"
Zhao Liangsi and Zhao Kai looked at each other and shook their heads. Zhao Kai said: "What my father means is that if we cannot return to Yunzhou for the time being, we must also bring back Yanjing and other places."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Must?"
Zhao Kai nodded.
This is really a deceptive plan. Li Qi sighed: "Then we have already lost in this negotiation."
Zhao Liangsi asked in astonishment: "Why is this?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Based on my many years of experience in doing business, I think that negotiation is all about patience. If one party is eager for success, it will be dominated by the other party."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, so according to what you said, how should we talk about it?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "I think it might be more beneficial for us to forget about the minimum price."
Zhao Liangsi pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, in this way, we will not appear timid, otherwise it is very likely that the Jin people will see the flaws."
