Chapter 607 The Temptation of Money (Part 2)

Compared with the golden gold ingots, this kind of intangible and lasting wealth is what these Jin Kingdom nobles want most urgently.

After coming out of the academy, a group of people went to Zuixianju. When passing by Jade Pavilion, Cai Minde, the old fox, seemed to be afraid that Li Qi would forget him. He had been waiting in front of the door for a long time. When he saw Li Qi and others coming, he hurried forward.

Say hello, he is not shy.

There was no other way, so Li Qi had no choice but to invite them to visit the Jade Pavilion, and he himself rushed to Zuixianju to prepare. There were many things about the dishes planned for noon today that Wu Xiaoliu and others couldn't handle, and only he himself could do it.

Take action, and no matter what, Cai Minde is also his colleague. With him around, Cai Minde can't let go. He is simply a good person and will do it to the end.

In fact, Wang Fu didn't want to go to Jade Pavilion, because Cai Minde was Cai You's friend, and he and Cai You were also political enemies. However, those Jin people thought that they would have to wait to go to Zuixianju now, so they might as well hang out for a while.

Cai Minde knew that he didn't have much time, and he didn't want to talk nonsense. He invited everyone to the store, and quickly took out the special treasures in their store, and introduced them to the golden people eloquently. It must be said that this old fox's eloquence

It was quite remarkable, and his vision was quite sharp. In less than half an hour, he started flirting with a nobleman from the Jin Kingdom.

The nobles of the Jin Kingdom also knew that Zuixianju had already started cooperating with Heshi Liebohe, and they had no part in it. Therefore, if they wanted to run a restaurant, they would have to find someone else. Cai Minde who came to their door would naturally be treated with caution.

.

Half an hour later, a group of people came out of Jade Pavilion and went directly to Zuixianju. Seeing the crowds of people inside, they felt envious.

Xiaoyu, who came over temporarily to preside over the overall situation, invited everyone to the box in the heaven and earth, and presented all the varieties of Tianxia Wushuang one by one for them to taste.

After everyone tasted it, they all praised it.

Soon, delicacies were served one after another, including lion head, braised conch, kung pao chicken, Tai Chi prawns, spicy tofu, crystal trotters, and duck-wrapped fish.

The golden people ate the delicious food with great interest and were so engrossed that they didn't even have the time to speak.

The Yijin man clicked his tongue and said, "The cooking skills of this Golden Knife Chef King are truly well-deserved. These dishes are so delicious. They are countless times better than those bullshit royal chefs from the Liao Kingdom."

When Li Qilai was mentioned, Heshi Liebohe suddenly said: "By the way, why hasn't Doctor Li come up yet?"

Xiaoyu said respectfully: "This distinguished guest, sir, he is still preparing the last three dishes."

"Oh? There are three more dishes?"

"Yes. Two of the three dish paintings are our signature dishes of Zuixianju, Boiled Song Ye and Buddha Jumping Over the Wall."

Heshi Liebohe nodded and said, "I wanted to try these two dishes last time I came here, but I never had the chance."

The rest of the people didn't understand and asked Xiaoyu one after another.

Xiaoyu told the truth, and Wang Fu also told them the story of jumping over the wall after getting the Buddha.

After everyone listened, they were even more hopeful.

After a while, the first dish came, which was the classic Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

When Xiaoyu opened the altar, she just opened the lotus leaf slightly. The aroma of wine hit her nose and went straight into her heart and spleen. She also saw that the soup was thick and brown in color, but thick but not greasy. The aroma of wine was mixed with various aromas,

The fragrance is wafting everywhere. It's extremely tempting.

Not to mention the people in the box, even the people downstairs were intoxicated.

None of those golden people are picky eaters. Whether it is duck or fish, they just scoop it into their own bowls. In just an instant, a jar of Buddha Jumping over the Wall was divided up.

Wang Fu and Zhao Liangsi had never seen such a way of eating before, and they were immediately dumbfounded. They didn't even taste any green onions, and they were in such a miserable state. Wang Fu couldn't help cursing in his heart, and the nobles were like a bunch of people who hadn't eaten all day.

A beggar having his meal.

Before everyone could get over the delicious food of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, the second dish was served again. Two bartenders came in carrying a big winter melon and put the winter melon on the table.

Xiaoyu stepped forward and introduced: "This is the latest dish developed by adults. It's called winter melon cup. It's made by."

When everyone heard that winter melon was used as a container for this dish, they were very surprised and wanted to try it.

There are actually many ways to make the winter melon cup. Except for the winter melon, the other ingredients can be changed at will. However, Li Qi believes that the most important feature of the winter melon cup is the word "vegetarian", so his winter melon cup does not have any meaty taste and is completely vegetarian.

Although the Jin people are not as carnivorous as the Mongolians and are not happy with meat, their favorite thing is meat. They rarely eat vegetarian dishes, but Li Qi's winter melon cup makes them have endless aftertaste.

You must know that the dishes they ate before were very greasy, and this winter melon dish combines a variety of ingredients into one dish, with different textures and delicious taste. It is the best way to relieve tiredness and hangover, and it is also a delicacy in the hot summer.

.

The last one was of course the boiled water songleaf. Although everyone was so full that their bellies were bulging out, they still wiped out the boiled water songleaf without leaving any residue.

Now I'm afraid even a green onion can kill them.

After they had finished drinking and eating, Li Qi came up and asked with a smile: "I wonder if these dishes will suit your taste?"

Those golden people dared not even open their mouths for fear of spitting out, but the expressions of enjoyment on their faces said it all.

After a short rest, a few people chatted casually, and then went to Li Qi's printing factory. Since they had gone to the clothing factory before, the Jin people were mentally prepared, so when they arrived at the printing factory, they did not

Although it was as shocking as this morning, the posture of "Grandma Liu" has not changed at all.

Before leaving, Li Qi also gave each of them a gold-bound version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

However, this book does not have much appeal to them. You must know that they are all from the mountains. They are not interested in reading books or reciting poems. They also did not show as much joy as they did this morning.

After coming out of the printing shop, everyone rushed to Hongwan Gambling House without stopping, where Hong Qi and his son were already waiting there.

When they came to the casino, the enthusiasm and passion of the gamblers were instantly infected with them. Their eyes were all straight and their hands were itching. After Wang Fu saw this, he asked Hong Qi to give each of them a hundred chips.

Remember, I will pay you later. This small amount of money is really nothing to Wang Fu, but with Li Qi's understanding of Wang Fu, he knows that this account should be reimbursed, and maybe he can get it out of it.

Greedy for some oil and water.

Wang Fu, Li Qi and others accompanied He Shiliebohe and they played at every table.

Soon, the Jin envoys all invested in it, but soon, they lost everything.

Anyway, it was not a loss of their own money. Not only were the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin not upset, but they all had expressions of satisfaction. They all praised the casino, it was so fun, but business was more important, and they did not insist on it.

Let's go, sit on the gambling boat for a while, and then leave. Li Qi knew that they would definitely come again.

After leaving the casino, they went to the penultimate stop of the day, which was Li Qi's base camp, Zuixianju Group Company.

Arriving at Zuixianju Group Company, Li Qi, as the owner, began to introduce his new business model to everyone, using an old saying from later generations. Although they didn't understand it very well, they all thought it was very powerful.

After wandering around, the group came to the conference room, sat down around the table, and saw everything that needed to be seen. They also kissed everything that needed to be asked. Now it was time to talk about business, actually negotiation. Song Huizong

He rarely comes forward, and even when he does, it is up to Wang Fu and others to talk about it.

After walking around this day, Heshi Liebohe couldn't help but sigh: "The strength of your country's merchants is really shocking. Even the former Liao Kingdom cannot be compared with your country. It is really far behind."

Although Li Jing and Wang Duci, two former ministers of the Liao Kingdom, did not want to admit it in their hearts, the facts were in front of them and they could only bow their heads and admit defeat.

Wang Fu exclaimed: "Mr. He Shilie deserves the award, but I am full of confidence in the cooperation between the two countries."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, apart from technology, the most important thing about business is resources. Your country has vast resources, no worse than our Song Dynasty, and it won't take long to develop. If our two countries join forces,

, that’s even more amazing, we have the technology, and you have the resources, this is like a fish in water for both parties, it’s mutually beneficial.”

"Doctor Li is right, our emperor thinks so too."

Li Qi smiled, and then asked someone to bring over the economic construction plan he had written and show it to them. While he, Wang Fu and others went to his office to rest, making room for He Shi Liebo He.

A space for discussion.

An hour later, Heshi Liebohe had someone call Li Qi and others over.

Li Qi smiled and said, "I wonder if you are satisfied with our plan."

"Of course we are satisfied. We still believe in Dr. Li's ability." He Shilie laughed loudly, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Fu and said: "This is the copy of our emperor's imperial pen, you can also give it to

Your emperor will take a look, if there are no problems, we can settle this matter."

Wang Fu couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Heshi Liebohe suddenly changed the subject and said: "But."

Wang Fu's expression tightened and he quickly asked: "But what?"

Heshi Liebohe said: "But we are not here for negotiation. To put it bluntly, we are messengers. Apart from this, we do not have the power to make the decision. In other words, if your country agrees,

Then sign this covenant. Our Dajin Army will also evacuate Yanjing in early September and return Jing, Tan, Yi, Zhuo, Ji, Shun Liuzhou and Yanjing to you. But if your country does not agree,

, then we will be powerless.”

The implication was that they did not intend to give the Song Dynasty any room for bargaining. If they agreed, they would sign. If they disagreed, there would be no need to negotiate.

Japan. You guys are so overbearing. You are simply forcing us to sign this covenant. It’s just a pact, so why not call it the Overlord Treaty? Li Qi secretly frowned, but he had nothing to do, because He Shilie

Bo He has already said what he said. It's useless no matter how much you say.

Wang Fu was also uneasy in his heart, fearing that Jin Guo would make some unreasonable demands again. He smiled and quickly picked up the manuscript and read it. After reading for a while, the worry on his face gradually faded away and was replaced by a look of joy.

.

After reading it, he remained silent and handed it to Zhao Liangsi. After Zhao Liangsi read it, he breathed a sigh of relief and handed it to Li Qi again.

Li Qi made a guess from the expressions of the two of them. He took a look and found that the contents were similar to what was discussed in the last negotiation. The key points were two points. One was the annual tribute set by the Maritime Alliance.

, this money cannot be less; the second is Li Qi’s economic construction. Wanyan Aguda doesn’t know anything about economic construction, so there are some rigid requirements written in it. What he wants is results, but he keeps up with them.

The previous negotiation said the same thing and did not add any unreasonable requirements. However, as a result, Li Qi's construction plan seemed a bit redundant. At most, it had only a reference value.

This is where Wanyan Agu shines. He understands that he is no match for Li Qi in this regard. If he blindly follows Li Qi's plan, then the initiative will be firmly controlled by Li Qi, and may even be exploited by Li Qi.

There is a loophole, but in this way, the leadership is still in my own hands. No matter what you do, you will always let me get what I want, otherwise it will be a violation of the covenant.

After reading it, Li Qi frowned and said, "Why is there no mention of Yunzhou and other places in the letter, but I don't know when your emperor plans to return Yunzhou and other places?"

Heshi Liebohe said with a smile: "Our emperor has mentioned this before. The emperor said that A Shi'er has not been caught yet, and Yunzhou and other places are important places to round up A Shi'er, so it is still too early to say this now.

It’s useless, the emperor’s intention is that after A Shi’er is captured, we can negotiate on Yunzhou and other places.”

Wang Fu was afraid that Li Qi's hot-headedness would ruin the negotiation, so he hurriedly said: "That's what it should be, that's what it should be."

This traitorous official has really weak diplomatic skills. If you don’t fight for it yourself, others will not take it seriously. Why are Chinese officials always strong internally and weak externally? Li Qi couldn’t help but sigh secretly in his heart.

, but said no more and handed the transcript back to Wang Fu.

Wang Fu quickly took the copy and said with a smile: "I will go to the palace to inform the emperor about this later. Everything has to wait for the emperor to make a decision."

Heshi Liebohe nodded with a smile. In fact, they had expected this result before they came, because the key to this negotiation was themselves. As long as they had no problems, then everything would be out of the question. After all, Wanyan Aguda could do it.

A big concession.

That night, Li Qi invited them to the last bar of the day for a night of partying. For those Jin people, the bar was simply a paradise on earth. The greedy Heshi Liebohe directly asked Li Qi to do the same in the Kingdom of Jin.

Li Qi just said with a smile that at least this bar could not be built until the restaurant stabilized and Tian Xia Wushuang became famous. (To be continued...)

ps: Please give me a monthly ticket, please recommend me... Dude, the monthly ticket is doubled, stop holding it back, light it up quickly.
