This guy really likes to play cards that don't follow the rules! Zhao Jingyan was dumbfounded by Li Qi's "Guess". After a while, she said: "I guess you will definitely give it."
"Why?"
She was so sure that Li Qi felt a little surprised.
"Guess!" Zhao Jingyan looked at Li Qi with a charming smile.
Li Qi was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "That's it, that's all. How much do you want?"
"half!"
"Reasonable!" Li Qi nodded, told Zhao Jingyan about the division of the stolen goods between Zhao Huan and Gao Yamen, and continued: "How about 20,000 guan per person?"
Zhao Jingyan knew that what Li Qi said was absolutely true, but this made her feel a little surprised and said: "When did you become so cheerful? I thought that even if you wanted to give, you would have to talk nonsense for at least half an hour."
Half an hour of nonsense? Am I so verbose? Li Qi said sternly: "This is what I owe you. On the gambling table, repaying debts is a matter of course. It has nothing to do with being happy or talking nonsense."
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said, "What if we're not at the gambling table?"
Li Qi was stunned for a while, then said with a smile: "I know, I owe you more favors than I can count on one hand. Just tell me, what do you want from me? Apart from chastity, everything else is easy to say."
When Zhao Jingyan heard his last words, she couldn't help but spat, suddenly stopped, looked at Li Qi, and said seriously: "It's rare that you still remember, so do you plan to return these favors? Don't ask me to guess, this time I really
You can’t guess.”
Li Qi actually just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually ask him seriously. He was stunned for a moment and said: "It seems that you really have something to ask of me!"
Zhao Jingyan shook her head and said: "Not yet."
"Then let's wait until you have time to talk. I hate making promises to people."
"How do you say this?"
"Because I'm more afraid of breaking trust with others."
Zhao Jingyan frowned slightly and nodded, "Okay then." After a pause, she sighed softly and said, "You are afraid of breaking your promise to others, but I am most afraid of asking for help, but things in this world often take a toll on others.
I can't help myself, and I hope I don't have to beg you, but I can't guarantee this, so I still hope you remember what you said today. So far, you still owe me."
"I will remember that I owe you, but I will not guarantee that I will repay you. You said it yourself, things in the world often make people unable to control themselves." Li Qidao.
Zhao Jingyan nodded and smiled: "Of course I know this. In fact, if you agree fully, I'm afraid I will just think that you are perfunctory. This may be the most sincere sentence you have ever said to me."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Everyone, each other." After a pause, he said again: "By the way, those 20,000 guan---?"
Zhao Jingyan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then said: "I really want it."
"Uh... I just wanted to send it to you in two days, but I didn't expect you to be so fond of money."
"Poor people have a special liking for money. Besides, this is 20,000 yuan. Not even my brother, the prince, can refuse it, let alone me?"
"That's true." Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, I've been wanting to ask you just now, can you play stud?"
"I've never been interested in gambling. It's my first time tonight. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'd be the one begging me for money."
So arrogant? Li Qi pouted. Expressing disdain, he changed the subject and said, "Are you alone? I'll take you back."
"No need."
Zhao Jingyan suddenly walked to the road, waved her hand, a fast horse galloped over, and the guard dismounted. Zhao Jingyan got on the horse and smiled at Li Qi with a hint of self-deprecation: "Don't forget, my home is not suitable for people like you.
Minister of the DPRK, I take my leave."
After saying this, she waved her whip and rode away.
Li Qi put his hands behind his back, looked at Zhao Jingyan's retreating back, and said with a smile to himself: "It seems that my unscrupulous father-in-law is right. The most difficult thing in the world to repay is the debt of favor, especially the favor debt of a woman.
"
...
...
The next day.
The news that Li Qihao won 100,000 guan immediately spread throughout the city. While the people of the Song Dynasty were applauding, they also felt very envious. 100,000 guan. There are few people in the world who can earn so much money, but Li Qihao
It only took one night. Little did he know how Li Qi dared to monopolize such a large amount of money. In the end, he only got 20,000 yuan.
When Song Huizong listened to Zhao Huan's oral description of the situation at that time, he was also extremely fascinated. He even applauded him from time to time. He felt regretful that he could not go to watch the battle. When he heard the end, he even called Li Qi his lucky general.
The greatly blessed general felt even more pleased when he heard that Li Qi gave half of the money to Honglu Temple as work expenses.
The next morning, he went to court and was full of praise for Li Qi, making many ministers envious.
Because Muhammad fainted from eating too many coffee beans, Li Qi originally planned to postpone his meeting with the envoys from the Western Regions for two days. However, he never expected that Yilt did not want to come with Muhammad. The next day, he
Bring your own people to your door to ask for an audience.
This time, Li Qi no longer had any excuse to refuse him. He took his servants out to greet him, held his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "It will really make this humble house look brighter with these distinguished guests here!"
When the servants saw the carts of gifts, they thought to themselves that if our boss celebrates the New Year just once, it will probably be enough for us to live for ten lifetimes.
Today is destined to be another busy day for them!
After a few words of greeting, Li Qi invited Yilt and others into the house. As soon as they sat down, Yilt couldn't wait to say: "To be honest, we came here today to discuss some business with the economic envoy."
Wow! This European is so direct! Li Qi originally wanted to meet him and explain why he only met him now. It was obvious that the other party didn't seem to care at all and was so direct. He could only give up and tried: "Let's talk business."
?I like this the most, but I don’t know if the third prince wants to buy a boat or a weapon?”
Yilt waved his hand and said: "We will buy some ships and weapons, but these are secondary."
This was beyond Li Qi's expectation. As a trade between countries, the first thing to bear the brunt is of course weapons or food. Now the Song Dynasty has too much food to take care of itself, and it is impossible to sell it on a large scale. Then there are not only weapons left, but look
Yilt's expression seemed to have something more important than this. He frowned and said, "Then what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"
"Canned!" Ilte said bluntly.
"Canned food?" Li Qi looked surprised, and then said: "If the third prince came just for the canned food, there is no need for such a big battle. He can go directly to Zuixianju Group to talk to someone. Moreover, a few days ago,
Our Commerce Bureau has organized many trade exchange meetings, and I, Zuixianju, have also sent people there. Doesn’t the third prince know?"
Yilt shook his head and said: "I don't want to buy cans."
Do they want to? Li Qi frowned, took a sip of tea, and said with a faint smile: "Then what do you want to buy?"
"What we want to buy is---the secret recipe for canned food." Ilte said confidently.
Sure enough! What a waste of everyone's time! Li Qi laughed and said: "If that's the case, then let's talk about something else."
Ilte was not annoyed either. He smiled and said: "Why don't the economic minister listen to our price before making a decision?"
"That's right. The process should go like this. Well, you can tell me." Li Qi smiled slightly.
Ilte said: "We are willing to pay 100,000 yuan to buy your secret canned food recipe."
"Wow! There are so many!" Li Qi exclaimed, "But it still doesn't impress me."
"Two hundred thousand dollars!"
Tsk tsk! The rich are the rich, and they all start at 100,000 yuan. Li Qi secretly smacked his tongue, but shook his head.
"Three hundred thousand guan."
If I keep shaking my head like this, what price will this guy offer? Li Qi shook his head again and said: "Third Prince---."
Before he could finish his words, Ilte said: "Four hundred thousand yuan! Economist, don't be too greedy. This price is really high."
It’s really a pity that this is the end of it! Li Qi laughed and said: “It seems that the third prince’s trip is inevitable.”
Ilt said with a proud look: "I have always believed that any item in the world, including people, can be bought with money, as long as your price is reasonable."
Li Qi laughed and said: "I totally agree with the third prince's point of view, but your price doesn't move me! In my opinion, it's just unreasonable."
Ilte simply said: "Then you make an offer!"
Li Qi raised a finger.
It's the middle finger!
Another move! Ilte frowned and said: "One million strings? This is too much."
"Of course not." Li Qi shook his head with a smile and said, "I said ten million strings."
"What! One--ten million strings?" Ilte said in shock.
Li Qi nodded and said, "You heard that right."
A person next to Yilt frowned and said: "Economic envoy, we are here with great sincerity. You are disrespecting us by doing this."
Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "To be honest, I see your sincerity, but your price does not satisfy me. Ten million yuan, not even a penny less."
Yilt sneered and said: "Ten million strings? Why don't you reject us directly."
Li Qi spread his hands and said: "If I remember correctly, I have just refused. It's just that you said you wanted me to hear your price. It's better for me to obey than to be respectful."
Yilt snorted and said: "They say that the economy makes business great, but today it seems that it's really not as good as being famous in person!"
"Although I know you want to use provocation, I also want to hear how you will convince me." Li Qi said with a playful smile.
Ilte said: "It's very simple. Anyway, your cans can't be sold to our Byzantine Empire. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain."
Li Qi frowned and said: "Why does the third prince say that? I have no objection to buying cans from your country!"
Yilt snorted: "Are you sincerely teasing me?"
"Do you look like me?"
Ilter said: "Then why do you still say that, how long can your canned food last after it is made? When you make it in your country and then transport it to our country, what advantages does your canned food have? I still
It’s better to cook it and eat it now.”
Yes! This is indeed a problem. My cans can only be kept for a year at the longest. It is just fine for shipping to Xixia, Korea, and Japan, but for shipping to Europe, with the current transportation, it is really difficult. Li
Qi pondered for a while and then said: "Third Prince, if I sell you the secret recipe for canned food, it will make people laugh. Isn't this the same as making the secret canned food recipe public to the world? Don't give me any oaths to guarantee this.
I’m afraid you won’t believe it yourself.”
Yilt frowned slightly and said, "In that case, you will definitely not sell it."
Li Qi nodded and said, "I can only say sorry."
Yilt seemed to be mentally prepared and did not look very disappointed. He added: "Since you don't want to sell our secret recipe, then so be it. You can send people to our country to make cans. That will be fine."
Sweat! What's the difference between going to your country and giving you the secret recipe? How can you still be so polite? This negotiation really hurts people's self-esteem! Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Then I might as well sell the secret recipe in cans to you."
You guys."
Ilte said: "I haven't finished speaking yet. What I mean is that there is a sea area in the south of our country called the Mediterranean Sea. If the economic envoy is willing, he can choose an island in this sea area and do anything on it.
Canned food, we will keep this absolutely confidential, so as to ensure that your canned food secret recipe will not be spread to others. Moreover, we will pay for the construction of houses and other expenses on the island, as well as the materials. We will not only provide the island with
Give it to you, and give you a salary of 10,000 yuan every year, you just need to hire people, you have nothing to say, right?"
ps: It’s the first day of the month. I hope to have a good start. Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!!!
