Five hundred and fiftieth chapters of public criticism
This change in Gao Yanei is indeed a bit unexpected for Li Qi, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to see the clues. Young men like them, who were born with golden keys in their mouths, have been surrounded by flattery since they were young. If anyone Saying thank you to him sincerely is better than flattering him ten thousand times. Although whether Gao Yanei really likes to do good deeds is another question, but in the end, it is better than doing evil things. .
The only thing that worries Li Qi is that this guy may harm many wives. After all, a kind-hearted Gao Yanei is very lethal. www. The son of a Taiwei has a huge fortune, is not ugly, and He is even more gifted in that area. If there is another person who is simple and kind, this will be fatal to a wife no matter what era?br />
At the banquet, Gao Yanei continued his amazing and wonderful remarks, foaming at the mouth, and it seemed that he had not drank with Hong Tianjiu and the others for a long time. He hugged Hong Tianjiu and Chai Cong and kept drinking, which was so happy.
Seeing how he looked like this, Li Qi couldn't bear the meal. He walked to the window with a cup of warm tea and wanted to enjoy the night view of Bianjing, but he forgot that there were no neon lights these days, so it was almost pitch black. one slice.
"Well, I, Fan Lou, will be responsible for all my earnings today."
With a sigh, Fan Shaobai came over with a bottle of wine.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Don't come here. I also run a restaurant. How much do you earn every day and you still want to hide it from me. I advise you not to think too much. I will never let this happen in Zuixianju." .”
Fan Shaobai glared at him slightly and said, "You can't be too stingy."
Li Qi chuckled: "You can't be too stingy as a person, but how can you not be stingy in business? How can you make money if you don't plan carefully?"
Fan Shaobai said angrily: "You are really very calculating, but it's all someone else's fault. I will never do this again next time."
That's not up to you. Li Qi laughed and quickly changed the subject: "But the cooking skills of your female chef in Fanlou are really good, simple and unpretentious. But they are extremely delicious, and there is a hint of farm flavor. It's really unique." It is unique, especially the fish soup dish. It is so wonderful that it should not have been ruined by the foaming at the mouth of the guy in the Yamen."
Fan Shaobai was naturally very happy to be praised by Li Qi for his cooking skills. He smiled and said: "Fortunately, I listened to you and invited Mrs. Song to come. Otherwise, during the time when you were gone, I, Fan Lou, I’m afraid that’s about it.”
There is something in the words. Li Qi smiled and said, "Isn't it that exaggerated?"
Fan Shaobai said sternly: "How can I joke about this? Although after the past few months, the customers in my Fan Building have stabilized, but the cured meat introduced by Jin Lou can take away a lot of my foot shops. In addition, we The chain stores have also been greatly affected."
In fact, in the capital, there are not as many chain stores in Zuixianju as there are in Fanlou. After all, Zuixianju was weak at the beginning. Moreover, Fan Zheng, the old fox, saw the benefits of this chain store, so after cooperating with Zuixianju, it started to open on a large scale. The acquisition of foot shops, coupled with the fact that there are many foot shops in Fanlou itself. Therefore, Fanlou has suffered heavy losses due to such a commotion in Jinlou. Of course, it is said to be a loss. In fact, it means that it makes much less than before, but for businessmen In general, less means loss.
Li Qi nodded and said, "I heard about this."
Fan Shaobai glanced at him slightly and said: "You guys, Zuixianju, are quite good. Your business has been rising steadily. You only care about yourself and don't care about others at all."
Sweating profusely! Such strong resentment. Li Qi pretended not to know: "How do you say this?"
Fan Shaobai said: "Actually, the profit of our canned meat is already high enough. No one competed with us at the beginning, and we had the final say on whether the price was high or low. But it is different now. Jinlou's cured meat is very cheap, and we also
The price should be lowered. This is an obvious thing. No matter who it is, he will do it. But your white lady turns a deaf ear to Jinlou and only cares about her own interests. I have come to see her several times, but every time she
They all say that she can’t be the master and has to wait for you to come back, but I see that she has negotiated a lot of business with those foreign businessmen. It doesn’t look like she can’t be the master. If you don’t surrender, we can’t surrender either. Otherwise, how can Jinlou do it?
It’s expanding so fast.”
Li Qi smiled and said: "It seems that you have suffered a lot at the hands of Qiniang."
Fan Shaobai said angrily: "As long as you know, she doesn't look like a woman. I said she is stronger than a man. You have never seen it. She talks without leaving any room. She almost got angry several times.
I jumped off the building."
Why have I never seen this before? She almost kicked me off the stage. Li Qi smiled and shook his head, saying: "Actually, Qiniang did this out of necessity. You also know that our Zuixianju just
We have signed contracts with Xixia, Dali and other countries to provide them with canned food. If the price was immediately reduced as soon as the first batch was sent out, they would definitely think that we deliberately deceived them. Money is not a big deal. This reputation has been lost, but
It will be difficult to earn it back, so don’t blame her too much. Besides, Qiniang will basically make the decision from now on, so you will definitely have to deal with her."
Fan Shaobai was surprised: "What about you? Have you left Zuixianju?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just that I have a lot of things to do and can't take care of them, so the group company has been left to her to take care of. Of course, I am still in charge of some major business."
Fan Shaobai nodded and said, "I understand, you must have been promoted."
Li Qi smiled and said nothing.
Fan Shaobai said: "Then what should we do about this matter? We can't let Jinlou continue to do this nonsense."
"Of course not." Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually speaking, Zhang Chun'er, apart from playing tricks on you and Fan Lou, is much more ethical in doing business than Cai Minde. At least so far, she has relied on her own true ability.
She is fighting with us. In this case, let’s not spend anything fancy. The price of canned and roast duck will definitely not be reduced, but we can also introduce new dishes to resist her cured meat.”
Fan Shaobai asked happily: "What new dish?"
Li Qi chuckled: "We have to talk about this later, but that's why I'm here today. I hope you can help me buy chicken wings, chicken feet, duck feet, and duck necks. The more the better."
Fan Lou's suppliers are unique. After all, they have been working for so many years. Even Zuixianju and Jinlou cannot compare with Fan Lou. Therefore, Li Qifan has to ask Fan Lou for help if he wants to purchase large quantities of raw materials.
After talking with Fan Shaobai, Li Qi returned to the private room and saw the group of beasts clamoring to go to Yingchun Tower. He refused to go with them and rode a donkey back to Zuixianju. However, as soon as he entered the door, he met the person he wanted most.
The person I don’t want to meet is Mrs. Bai, the fortune teller.
In the front hall, there were only Mrs. Bai and a personal maid.
"Li Qi has met his aunt."
"Yeah. Sit down."
After Li Qi sat down, he asked: "Aunt, Madam and Qiniang haven't come back yet?"
Mrs. Bai said: "They are in the back hall."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. But he was not stupid, and even took the initiative to hit the muzzle of the gun. He said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, and my aunt is still beautiful. It's really enviable."
Mrs. Bai didn't take his trick and said with a faint smile: "You still have time to talk nonsense here. It's really admirable."
"Auntie seems to have something in her words?"
Mrs. Bai snorted and said, "You know, if I hadn't grabbed the old man just now, I'm afraid he would have come to trouble you."
Sweating! Is it so serious? Li Qi curled his lips and said: "Aunt, I didn't offend my uncle. You didn't scare me on purpose, did you?"
Mrs. Bai sneered and said: "It would be great if I could scare you. Now you can turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain. You are enjoying good fortune and prosperity. Maybe even the old man will take advantage of you.
There is nothing you can do, but don’t be complacent yet, you will suffer from it in the future.”
Li Qi was speechless for a while and said, "Just say it bluntly. We are all a family. Is there any need to add thorns in your words?"
Madam Bai raised her hand and said: "Don't say this nonsense. We are not a family. To tell you the truth, I originally planned to let you get married to Qiniang when you come back this time, but I absolutely didn't.
Thinking about it, your ambition is so great, now we’d better draw a clear line.”
Li Qi's face darkened and he said, "What do you mean by this?"
Mrs. Bai said: "Even our Bai family and Wang family will not support your reform."
I don't ask for your support. As for Bai Shizhong's current power, I still don't like it. Li Qi smiled and said: "I don't have any ambitions. Today in the court, I was forced to have no choice. They are all Jin people."
It's all done by tinkering, even if you don't support me, there's no need to be so divided, Auntie, you're too cautious."
Madam Bai rolled her eyes at him and said, "Am I too cautious? If I were cautious, I would have called Qiniang back this afternoon."
I don't want to climb over the wall again if I try this trick again. Li Qi was surprised: "You can't do it so well, can you?"
"Not yet." Mrs. Bai said and sighed again, "Actually, with your ability and luck, it is not difficult to make a career in the officialdom, but I never thought that you would choose to reform.
A double-edged sword, I’m so disappointed.”
"I."
Mrs. Bai waved her hand, interrupted Li Qi's words, and said: "You should stop embarrassing yourself with those nonsense words. You were forced to do so. This was obviously your plan a long time ago. You clearly wanted to take advantage of this.
The demands of the Kingdom of Jin forced the ministers and even the emperor to support your reform. I know that many people in the court support you now, even the king and the Privy Council are supporting you, but if you want to qingchu, they are not supporting you.
The reform is because they hope to recover Yanyun as soon as possible. But once Yanyun is recovered, whether they will support you is another matter. The reform can indeed quickly improve your status in the court.
At the time, Wang and Fan, two wise prime ministers, also relied on reforms to establish their status, but you don't know their fate, don't you? Aren't the lessons of the predecessors enough? Why do you always insist on going your own way? Have you ever thought about it?
Qiniang and the others take it to heart, do you want to start a Yuanyou party membership incident before you give up?"
Li Qi snorted angrily and said, "Then what do you want me to do? I didn't voluntarily go to the Jin Kingdom as an envoy. I was also forced to go to the shelf, and you were not there when negotiating with the Jin people.
How do you know what happened at that time?"
Mrs. Bai said sullenly: "Don't try to deceive me into being ignorant. Although I don't know how to do business, I dare not say whether the economic construction you are doing is right or wrong. Even if you are right, you can definitely do it among the people. But
You just moved it to the court and told me this. If you have no selfish motives, how can I believe it?"
Ri. You don’t have to say it if you know it. Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, “Does Auntie think I do this for the illusory fame and fortune?”
Mrs. Bai frowned and said: "I don't care what your reasons are, but this step you take is too risky. I have always asked you to take every step, but you always like to do the opposite. Do you know that if you take one step in court?
If you make the wrong move, you will make mistakes every step of the way until you completely disappear from the court. The old man asked me to tell you that many people in the court are now planning how to resist your reforms, and you have become the target of public criticism." (To be continued.)
