"Qian Shibo, what happened in the past is in the past, and everything has to move forward, right? That's right, my nephew is not afraid of Qian Shibo's jokes. I have some personal relationships with the two oirans from Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion.
Friendship, this time when I returned to Hangzhou, I wanted to take them to leave Hangzhou and go to the capital. Unexpectedly, Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion had already changed hands, so I had no choice but to come to visit Qian Shibo and want to discuss things with him. " Lin Jue
Smiled.
Qian Zhongze was stunned and said with a faint smile: "Oh? But I don't know which two they are? There are many oirans in my building. Sixty-seven out of ten of the previous oiran competitions in Hangzhou City came from my building."
Lin Jue said: "I don't have any friendship with other people. I only know Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan. I want to redeem their lives."
The muscles on Qian Zhongze's face trembled a few times, and he laughed and said: "Master Lin, you are really a passionate seed. You want to redeem the lives of Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan? Aren't you afraid that your wife will overturn the jealousy?"
Lin Jue smiled and said, "That's my business, so you don't have to worry, Shibo. The main thing is that I promised them before, so I can't break my promise."
Qian Zhongze chuckled and said: "But nephew Lin, these two are the signatures of my Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion. You redeemed their lives for them, what will I do with my Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion? What are you going to do with them?"
What attracts customers? You are poaching the corners of my Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion. This is not making a deal, this is trying to ruin my fortune, isn't it?"
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Qian Shibo is serious. The flower industry has always been about the replacement of the old with the old, and the introduction of the new. We are all men, and we all understand that men are just trying to be fresh. This is why every courtesan can only be famous.
The reason for their decline within a year or two. People like Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan, who have been popular for three or four years, have already reached the point where their fame has faded. I dare say that in another year or two, they will disappear from the public.
.There will be new oirans emerging, and they will become a thing of the past. Just like the old oiran ladies in Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion, do you still expect these people to support you? Therefore, Qian Shibo has already
It’s time to take precautions and train new talents to take over. Well, Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan, it would be good to let them redeem themselves while they still have some fame and get more money. In the future, if their fame is gone, their worth will be lower. Isn’t it worth the loss?
?What does Shibo think of my words?"
Qian Zhongze frowned and said, "Do I need you to teach me how to do business?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's not what I meant, it's the truth. I'm just reasoning with Shibo. I'm willing to pay a high price to redeem the two of them. As far as I know, Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan's selling contract
The price is 10,000 taels of silver per person. If Qian Shibo is willing to fulfill it, I am willing to pay three times the amount of silver and take out 60,000 taels of silver to redeem their lives. Qian Shibo, these 60,000 taels of silver are enough for you to cultivate
Ten Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan are here. I wonder what you think?"
"Sixty thousand taels of silver?" Qian Zhongze chuckled: "The head of the Lin family is really generous. He is willing to spend such a large sum of money for two brothel girls. He is really a passionate seed. A young man does not hesitate to pay for women, which is really important.
It is an act of love and justice. Originally, when someone like me encounters such a thing, it should be fulfilled. After all, it is the beauty of adulthood. Unfortunately, you are the one who comes to talk about this matter, so there is nothing to say. No need to talk!"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Is Qian Shibo still worried about my Lin family? Why bother?"
"Bah! I'm afraid you have forgotten what your Lin family did to my Qian family and my daughter. The day you sent my Xing'er a divorce note, I swore a poisonous oath to never get along with her.
You Lin family quit and vow to avenge this humiliation. You still dare to come to me to discuss this kind of thing. You are really daydreaming. I will help you? Who will help my daughter? You, Lin Juebian, were also involved in that incident. Don’t do it.
Deny it, I know it was you who planned it behind the scenes. What is my daughter’s fault? The internal fighting between you and the Lin family resulted in my daughter being divorced. This is really unreasonable."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Qian Shibo, why bother about the past? What we are talking about now is a transaction. Doesn't what I just said make sense?"
"Of course there is truth, but I would rather let Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan die of old age in my building than let you do it. You want to redeem their lives? That is impossible." Qian Zhongze shouted.
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Qian Shibo, don't be impulsive. If you feel that the redemption money is insufficient, we can discuss it again."
Qian Zhongze couldn't help but sneer.
Lin Jue said: "How about I add another 20,000 taels and 80,000 taels of silver to redeem their lives?"
Qian Zhongze looked at him coldly and ignored him at all.
"One hundred thousand taels!" Lin Jue said.
"Humph!" Qian Zhongze sneered and said nothing.
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels...that's all. How about... one hundred and fifty thousand taels. This price is sky-high." Lin Jue gritted his teeth and said.
Qian Zhongze was greatly moved. Lin Jue was really generous. It was incredible that he was willing to pay such a huge sum of money for these two women. One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver was indeed a huge sum of money. He bought two
The brothel only cost 600,000 taels of silver. If I could get 150,000 taels of silver to redeem it, it would actually be a huge profit.
Seeing Qian Zhongze's conflicted and hesitant look, Lin Jue sneered in his heart. Family grievances and hatreds were nothing in front of money and business. What he said was all truth, and his heart was full of business. This is today
The normal state of society. Who still has trouble with Qianzi? Lin Jue felt that Qian Zhongze would soon surrender and pretend to be reluctant to make a deal with him.
However, reality slapped Lin Jue in the face. Qian Zhongze only wavered slightly, and his heart immediately became as solid as iron. The money was indeed attractive, but the hatred with the Lin family was even more infuriating. He could not let Lin Jue
It seems that Lin Jue is very interested in Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang. The more this is the case, the more he should not let him get his wish.
, the more it makes him feel sad.
"Lin Jue, don't waste your efforts. It's only 150,000 taels. Even if you add several times more money, you can't even hope to get Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan. As for the money, just earn it slowly. Just rely on Chu
Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan are so famous that they have received hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for me as a customer for three years. And they have not only been here for three years, they have been here for the rest of their lives. How much money can they earn for me?
?I want them to receive guests every day, and don’t pick anyone of any social background. As long as they have money, they can taste the taste of courtesans. Hehe, Mr. Lin, does it sound uncomfortable? That’s right, I just want you to feel uncomfortable, in my heart
It feels so comfortable. Hahahaha." Qian Zhongze burst into laughter.
Lin Jue's face turned dark. He knew that today would be a difficult meeting to reach a deal, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. Qian Zhongze perfectly interpreted the saying "money is not everything".
I paid such a high price, but the deal was not concluded. Fifteen thousand taels was enough to open a large brothel, but unexpectedly, even the redemption of the two women failed.
Qian Zhongze was too stubborn and obsessed with the feud between the two families. He was determined to go against himself.
"Dr. Qian, you are too stubborn to do this. It is actually not good for you. Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan are also prominent people in the flower world. Based on my understanding of them, it is wrong for you to force them to accept customers.
Impossible, they are stubborn and will lose more than they gain under pressure, resulting in serious consequences. I would like to remind Mr. Qian that if someone is killed, you will lose both your life and wealth." Lin Jue shouted coldly.
Qian Zhongze was a little shocked, but Lin Jue was indeed shrewd. What happened in his building was just as he said. One was disfigured, the other refused to accept guests, and threatened to commit suicide with disfigurement. It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"They're just two bitches. They belong to my private property of Wanhua Tower and Qunfang Pavilion. They can do whatever I want them to do. What can they do? Beat them if they don't obey. Look at how tough their skin is. They're dead to me.
If you think you're unlucky, the worst it can do is spare two coffins, so what?" Qian Zhongze still said he was reluctant to forgive.
Lin Jue patiently said in a cold voice: "Boss Qian, I call this behavior of yours 'paranoia'. Why do you do things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself even though you know they are harmful to others? Isn't it stupid to lose both people and money? You
You are a businessman who insists on acting out of anger even though you have clearly stated that there are mutual benefits. Are you a three-year-old child? What kind of anger are you making?"
Qian Zhongze sneered: "I want to act on my own initiative, what can you do to me? They are people in my building, I can do whatever I want, but it's not your turn, Lin Jue, to teach me a lesson. I know,
Aren't you just climbing a high tree to become Prince Liang's son-in-law and an official? So what? Even if you become an official, everything is too unreasonable. Can an official bully the people? "
Lin Jue frowned and said: "What are you talking about? Although I am an official, I am also a law-abiding official. Why have I ever come to bully you? Aren't I here to discuss with you today and make a deal?"
Qian Zhongze sneered and said: "You want to bully me, but I'm not afraid. You are an official, but I also have a backing. Do you know the new prefect, Mr. Kang? He has a relationship with me. If you use your power to bully others, I will
Go and report to the official. Mr. Kang said that he has the final say on matters in Hangzhou. He doesn't care about anyone else."
"Oh? Governor Kang has such a deep friendship with you? Do you dare to stand up for you in anything?" Lin Jue said in surprise.
"Huh, I'm dumbfounded. I'm not bragging. Mr. Kang has only been in Hangzhou for a few months, but he is already a friend with me. He will stand up for me in my affairs. I also tell you that Mr. Kang is not even the prince of Liang.
Don’t be afraid. I personally saw Mr. Kang go to the prince’s palace to collect money from the assistants. He is called a selfless man. You can ask the prince to see if this is the case. If there is really a trouble, Mr. Kang has the old prefect Mr. Yan,
There is an emperor behind Mr. Yan, who is afraid of who will come?" Qian Zhongze seemed to be afraid that Lin Jue would not believe him, and danced around and spit. He actually had a nose and eyes.
Lin Jue frowned and was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "I told you, I am here to make a deal with you. It doesn't matter if we can't negotiate, but there is no need to say that there is no such thing. I don't know that that matter was actually given to you back then.
You have caused so much harm. If you feel that this is a difficult hurdle to overcome, I can apologize to you on behalf of the Lin family. This is okay."
"Apologise? Hehe, don't say that I, Qian Zhongze, don't give you face. If you really want to redeem me, you can do it. But you have to agree to one condition." Qian Zhongze sneered.
"Oh? What conditions?" Lin Jue asked with a frown.
