Wang Fu, Li Qi, Zhao Liangsi, Song Yuchen and other officials from the Ministry of Rites came to Xiangguo Temple to meet with the Jin envoys.
Heshi Liebohe didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He introduced Wang Fu with just a few words, but when he introduced Li Qi, it was a long speech. What's more terrible is that the nobles of the Jin Kingdom also showed their kindness to Li Qi. They don't care about you.
Wang Fu is the prime minister or something, and you, Wang Fu, can't give them any benefits, and you have to curry favor with them even if it's not good, but Li Qi can help them make a lot of money. Which one is higher and which one is lower is clear at a glance.
Li Qi didn't want to be in the limelight, but it was beyond his control. When dealing with them, he kept paying attention to Wang Fu, and saw that his smile was already very forced. He thought to himself, you can't blame me for this, who told you
When dealing with gold people, lower your status. How can others look down on you?
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Heshi Liebohe asked Li Qi: "Doctor Li, I wonder where we will go later?"
Li Qi chuckled, and then said to Wang Fu: "It's up to the Prime Minister to make a decision."
The Jin people could look down on Wang Fu, but Li Qi couldn't. After all, Wang Fu was his boss. He couldn't do anything anymore, so he still had to give him some face.
Heshi Liebohe also reacted and felt that Wang Fu had been treated coldly. However, he did not want to blame Wang Fu and just gave him two questioning looks.
What a coward! Although Wang Fu was very unhappy in his heart, he was still Wang Fu after all. He smiled calmly and said, "Let's go to the Zhou Family Silk and Satin Shop first."
In fact, Li Qi had already arranged the itinerary. He just wanted to save some face for Wang Fu. But he never thought that the other party really didn't like giving Wang Fu face.
The group of people went directly to the clothing manager of the Zhou Family Silk and Satin Shop.
Zhou Qing and his sons were already waiting in front of the door.
"The villain Zhou Qing pays homage to the Prime Minister, gentlemen."
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, please get up quickly. I'm just here to have a look today. I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you." Wang Fu put on a virtuous posture and said with a friendly smile.
When Zhou Qing heard this, he was stunned. He felt that he was hallucinating. Was this what Wang Fu said? He didn't react for a long time.
Li Qi hurriedly winked at Zhou Hua who was standing aside, and Zhou Hua quietly poked his father with his elbow. Only then did Zhou Qing wake up, hurriedly straightened up, and said with a smile: "Dear guests, please come, my little shop
It’s really brilliant. Please come in quickly.”
"It's time to work."
Wang Fu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand towards Heshi Liebohe and said: "Please."
"please."
As soon as he entered, not to mention He Shi Liebohe and this group of country bumpkins, even Wang Fu was dumbfounded. It was his first time here, and he never expected the scale of this factory to be so huge.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to see the end at a glance. Hundreds of workers, wearing blue overalls, are working carefully at their posts, and the sound of chirping is endless.
You must know that Jinren’s clothes in the past were almost sold from other people, and at most they relied on their own mothers-in-law to make them. They were not even considered retail investors. How had they ever seen a factory of this scale? It was like in a dream.
Li Jing and Wang Duchi were ministers of the Liao Dynasty before, and they had come to the Song Dynasty for many years, but they had never seen a workshop of this scale. They still didn't understand the concept of "factory" and couldn't help but look at each other.
Li Jing swallowed his saliva and asked: "Exceptor, how many people do you have here?"
Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Five hundred people."
Everyone took a deep breath of air-conditioning.
A nobleman from the Kingdom of Jin hurriedly asked: "How much does your workshop earn every day?" There was unconcealable desire in his eyes.
Damn! You are too direct. You are a noble, how can you be a bandit? After listening to the translator’s translation, Li Qi felt a little speechless. He laughed and said: "This is someone else’s secret. How many of you?"
It’s better not to embarrass him.”
Seeing Zhou Qing's embarrassed look, Heshi Liebohe laughed and said: "Yes, yes, we are presumptuous." As he said this, he muttered a few words to his companion. After hearing this, the latter turned to Li
Qi Sansan smiled.
Zhou Qing hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "Everyone, please come in."
The group of people walked inside again, and the expressions of the employees changed. It was obvious that they were very nervous, but they did not dare to say anything, so they had to work hard.
Heshi Liebohe and other Jin people seemed to be curious about everything about you. They looked around and took a closer look, especially the sewing machines, which attracted everyone's attention.
I saw this group of "Grandma Liu" wandering around the sewing machine, marveling at it.
Heshi Liebohe asked curiously: "What is this?"
Zhou Qingdao: "This is called a sewing machine, and it was invented by Mr. Li."
"oh?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and looked at Li Qi in surprise.
Li Qi said sarcastically: "I made everyone laugh."
Heshi Liebohe hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Doctor Li is too modest. This thing is really good. My mother-in-law's needlework is also good, but compared to this thing, it is much slower. I didn't expect you to be so good.
Your ability is really amazing."
"Mr. He Shilie is laughing."
Suddenly, a person next to Heshi Liebohe pointed at the clothes in the hands of the employees and said, "What kind of clothes are they making? How strange are they?"
Wang Fu said hurriedly: "This is called a cheongsam. It's really wonderful for a woman to wear it."
Heshi Liebohe's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he said with a hint of disbelief: "Really?"
Wang Fu smiled and said, "Mr. He Shilie, could it be that he doesn't believe it?"
Heshi Liebohe laughed and said, "This dress is so weird. Will it look good on a woman?"
Wang Fu said: "It's simple. Let's ask a woman to put it on and see if she can."
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Heshi Liebohe said quickly.
Damn! Damn, these are a bunch of perverts! When Li Qi saw them talking about women, their eyes turned green and he secretly despised them.
Just when Wang Fu was about to ask someone to try on clothes, Heshi Liebohe raised his hand and said, "It's troublesome, isn't there a woman here?" He pointed to the opposite side and said, "Just her."
Everyone followed his fingers and saw sitting opposite him a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old with a round face and an extremely ordinary appearance and figure.
Wang Fu groaned, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Heshi Liebohe smiled and said, "Isn't it possible?"
Wang Fu quickly winked at Li Qi.
Damn it! You caused the problem, and you asked me to wipe your ass, so the prime minister is more impressive! Anyway, since you are the prime minister, I will help you. Li Qi smiled and said: "Okay,
Of course, this cheongsam is not just for beautiful women."
Heshi Liebohe laughed and said: "Doctor Li is right. Clothes are for people to wear. There is no reason to choose people."
"That is, that is."
Li Qi whispered a few words in Zhou Qing's ear. Zhou Qing nodded, and then whispered a few words in Zhou Hua's ear. After listening, Zhou Hua walked up to the girl and said with a lewd expression.
After a few words, he took the girl out.
Wang Duchi asked curiously: "Huh? Where are they going?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Envoy Wang won't let people change clothes here."
Wang Duci immediately blushed, while Wang Fu, He Shiliebohe and other perverts burst into laughter.
The few people did not wait, and walked around the factory. They seemed to be curious about everything and kept asking questions. Zhou Qing also patiently answered them one by one.
But after a while, Zhou Hua suddenly ran over with a body full of fat and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, the girl has changed her clothes."
Li Qi saw Zhou Hua's excited face and let out a sigh of relief.
Zhou Qing frowned and said, "Sanlang. How can you be so rude in front of the king and all the other gentlemen?"
Wang Fu raised his hand and said: "No problem, call the girl in quickly."
Zhou Hua responded and waved to the two people at the door. The door opened, and he saw a beautiful girl with a bumpy figure and a blush standing in front of the door. Her long hair was pulled up, looking shy.
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Fu laughed and waved, and the girl walked over with an anxious look.
"This---is this the woman just now?"
Heshi Liebohe said in surprise.
"Exactly."
Li Jing waved his hands and said, "No, no, that woman just now is not that tall."
Zhou Qing nodded towards the girl.
There was a look of fear in the girl's eyes. She hesitated for a moment and lifted up her skirt slightly. She saw that she was wearing a pair of wooden shoes, but the heels were extremely high.
When everyone saw it, they suddenly realized.
Li Jing asked curiously: "What kind of shoes are these?"
Zhou Qing replied: "These are called high heels, and they are specially made for the ladies and daughters of wealthy families to wear to banquets."
Wang Du stabbed: "Why is it limited to wealthy people?"
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Although we are rich in Song Dynasty, women from ordinary families are not yet qualified to participate in the banquet."
Everyone laughed again.
After laughing, Heshi Liebohe clicked his tongue and said, "These shoes are really good, wonderful, wonderful."
The other golden men also whispered, their eyes filled with envy and greed.
Li Qi glanced at them, then looked at each other again with Wang Fu and Zhao Liangsi, and the three of them showed a smile that was sure of victory.
Before leaving, Zhou Qing also specially gave them several cheongsams of different sizes and some new-style pajamas to express his feelings. Those Jin people thanked Zhou Qing one after another.
However, this thank you seemed a bit incredible to Wang Fu. But Li Qi knew that the reason why they were so friendly to Zhou Qing was because they wanted to build a good relationship with him so that they could do business together in the future.
After leaving the garment factory, Li Qi took several people to visit the Cuju League, and invited Jin Guo to send a Cuju team to participate in the competition, so as to enhance their friendship.
But those golden people were not interested in this aspect at all. They only wanted to know the operating model of this Cuju alliance and whether it was profitable. Li Qi lied again, and those golden people were almost drooling.
After visiting the venue of the Cuju League, the group went to Taishi College. At first, those people didn't understand why Li Qi wanted to take them to visit the college. Later, after Li Qi explained to them the beauty of combining college and business, those people
The interest of Jin people is coming again.
In fact, Li Qi had an ulterior motive for doing this. He thought that if he could control Jin Guo's education, it would be better than any cooperation. However, he also understood that it would be difficult to succeed. Even if he wanted to succeed, it would be difficult.
It would take many years of hard work, but he was still willing to give it a try. At least he wouldn't lose money anyway.
