Although the fact that Gu Chen was awarded the license to manufacture has not yet been known to the outside world, the fact that the "freeloader" generously gave a whole bottle of "Xiaohe Shui" to the laborers has been widely spread in Ximen Station. Through
From the window of the store, Hu Ji, the second shopkeeper, witnessed the workers happily distributing elixirs in front of the warehouse. He sighed and was once again convinced of his previous premonition.
"It's true, Mr. Gu is the master."
Only masters who are good at refining medicine can give away precious elixirs to others. It seems that the Xiaoyu Shui that Gu Chen brought to Rishengchang and sold was the same batch that was given to the laborers, so he suddenly retreated in the attic for several days.
The riddle of the day finally has a reasonable explanation.
"It's not good, the situation is quite bad..."
Hu Ji scratched his head in distress.
Gu Chen's identity has changed from "a homeless man" to a "master who is good at refining medicine". From a pure investment perspective, Rishengchang is definitely a bargain for picking up rare goods and living in them, but unfortunately, people are not grass and emotions.
Gains and losses from close relationships cannot be calculated in terms of investment. Although Gu Chen is indeed a master, considering how his own branch president had ridiculed him in the past, it is really hard to believe how much he harbors feelings for Rishengchang.
Good impression.
You know, the masters are often regarded as the pillars of the country in the Chenghuang countries. The courts of these countries even set up institutions specifically to manage the masters. Therefore, the consequences of offending the masters are often quite serious. Long Qi is like Ri Shengchang.
A large trading company that spans all over the country and relies heavily on the support of its masters.
Although Rishengchang has carefully maintained its relationship with the masters so far, the "bullying" of Gu Chen this time is undoubtedly a stain. If one person is not handled well and causes the collective resentment of the masters, then
It will definitely have an immeasurable impact on the overall operation of the trading company.
"Ah, if only I could have persuaded the lady at that time... There were obviously many opportunities to be gentle before his identity was exposed, why didn't I think of it..." Hu Ji held his head and groaned. If he had noticed it earlier, then
Rishengchang will definitely try his best to win over Gu Chen. As for rushing to the warehouse loft to live there, he would never even think about it.
But there is no such thing as regret in the world. No matter how upset Hu Ji is, all he can do at the moment is to apologize as soon as possible and ask Gu Chen to forgive him. Thinking about it this way, Hu Ji realized that they didn't even know where Gu Chen had gone.
Even if I want to apologize, I can't.
"It's over, it's over, I can't even find anyone, and now I can't do anything I want to do..."
"What can't be done?"
Just as the fat shopkeeper continued to feel the tremendous pressure from the perforation of the stomach wall, a sharp female voice came from behind.
Hu Ji turned around and saw the head of his branch walking in with the verified account books. Maybe the verified data was quite good? Although Bai Minghua looked a little tired, his brows were filled with joy.
"Be happy, Lao Hu." Without waiting for Hu Ji to ask, the branch director took the initiative to tell the result. "The quality of the goods transported by the pack team this time is quite good, and some of them are materials that are in short supply in Liyang. If the sales go smoothly.
, the deficit caused by Phoenix Spiritual Water may be filled this month!"
"That...that's really good."
The fat shopkeeper's response was quite weak. Bai Minghua didn't notice anything strange among his men, but he asked as if he was thinking of it.
"Speaking of which, it seems that a master came to the store today to sell elixirs? How is the situation?"
"Miss Hui, it is true that a master came to the store to sell Xiaoyu Shui, and the quality is quite good..." Hu Ji struggled, and responded in an evasive manner. "The rich spiritual essence is enough to be effective even if it is diluted two or three times. From then on,
Taking this into consideration, we purchased it at the price of each Siyintong."
"That's good." Bai Minghua nodded happily. "There are never too many masters for refining elixirs. You should seize the opportunity to build a relationship with them. Find time to visit them, even if you make a slight concession on the price.
No problem, it’s best to conclude an exclusive contract with our company.”
"Exclusive contract? At this point, I'm afraid it's very difficult..." Hu Ji faltered.
"What? Are there any competitors?" Bai Minghua raised his eyebrows. "There are not many trading companies in Liyang City that can compete with Rishengchang. Is it 'Sichuan Yinshe' or 'Xindanwang'? Are there any pioneers involved?"
?”
"Well, that's not true."
"Then the negotiation didn't go well and the other party was unwilling to cooperate with Ri Shengchang?" Bai Minghua frowned. "Didn't I say that? Most of the masters are guys with brain problems. When dealing with them, you should treat them as being favored.
You have to take care of the broken naughty child. It’s not like you have never been in the business of a master, Lao Hu, how could you make such a mistake?"
"Well, actually that's not the case..." If these extremely rude words were heard by the shop masters, Ri Shengchang would probably be blacklisted by the shop masters. The fat shopkeeper was sweating more and more on his forehead, and when the branch manager glared at him,
After struggling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and admitted.
"To be honest, miss, that master used to live in Rishengchang."
"Eh?" Bai Minghua was stunned, and then cast an "Are you kidding me" look at Hu Ji.
"I'm not kidding. In fact, that person was still living in the warehouse attic until yesterday." Hu Ji declared in a brave voice.
"Huh? Warehouse, attic?" The keywords that seemed to have been heard before stimulated Bai Minghua's memory, but perhaps the impression of "a freeloader" has nothing to do with "a master who refines elixirs". Miss Bai's family is enough
It took him half a quarter of an hour to come back to his senses.
"What? No way!? That guy is a master? And he can also refine elixirs!?"
As if he suddenly found a big hole in his wallet, Bai Minghua had a particularly shocked look on his face.
"Why? Isn't he a refugee that my brother picked up on the road? If he is a master, why has he never mentioned it? Moreover, he bowed his head obediently when they drove him to the attic. Isn't it possible for such a bully guy to
Maybe it’s the master!?”
Bai Minghua, the branch manager, rarely shows such a panicked look.
But it's no wonder she reacted like this.
After all, Gu Chen got the Sanskrit Seal only after getting married to the Pot Monster. When he first arrived in Chenghuang, he didn't understand the situation yet, so he showed signs of weakness such as "being a freeloader" and "being useless". Of course, what about normal people?
It is impossible to imagine the above twists and turns of causes and conditions, so Bai Minghua's judgment and correspondence cannot be said to be wrong.
"Although I haven't admitted it personally, he is indeed a master."
Hu Ji cut off the branch president's retreat with a firm tone. "In addition, he asked me to tell the lady that he would repay Ri Shengchang's debt as soon as possible and please take good care of his collateral."
"...collateral?" Bai Minghua's twinkling eyes fell on the mountaineering watch on his wrist.
Carrying a heavy debt and dare to say such strong words, it seems that the guy's identity as a master must be true. While confirming this, Bai Minghua also realized that he had made a serious mistake in treating Gu Chen. What if
If we cannot find a way to reverse the impact as soon as possible, Rishengchang is likely to face an unmanageable situation.
"That guy is actually a master...how could..."
Bai Minghua's face was slightly pale, and he pursed his lips tightly, showing an expression of resentment as if he wanted to bite someone.
"It's like this every time! Is that guy my broom star? Damn it!"
Before they even met, she consumed the store's treasure "Phoenix Spiritual Water", which caused the branch's account book to fall into an instant deficit crisis. Seeing that she was finally able to close the deficit, something suddenly happened again and she fell into unprecedented embarrassment.
Situation. At this moment, Gu Chen has become synonymous with "Broom Star" in Miss Bai's mind.
If possible, Bai Minghua really wanted to pack the guy and throw him into the cage car, and then let the pack team send him to the end of the world in one go! But since Hu Ji has concluded that Gu Chen is the master, then no matter how unwilling Bai Minghua is, he can't
If you don't treat him politely, what's more, it's Rishengchang's side that's wrong in the first place.
"Do you want to bow your head and apologize to that guy..."
Bai Minghua reluctantly tugged on his ponytail and tried to imagine the scene of bowing his head and apologizing to the "freeloader". Countless goosebumps immediately broke out all over his body. In the midst of countless unwilling entanglements, Bai Minghua suddenly noticed something
.
"Wait a minute, doesn't he live in the warehouse loft now?"
"Yes. Mr. Gu moved out of the warehouse after receiving the money for the medicine, but he didn't say where he was going. However, I heard that Mr. Gu gave the workers a bottle of Xiaohe water before leaving, and the workers are now full of praise for him...
...In my opinion, that person might be a man of great magnanimity by accident?”
The fat shopkeeper hinted that "reconciliation may be easier than imagined", but it did not reach Bai Minghua's ears.
"Really? I can't find that guy now..." Bai Minghua breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I can breathe a sigh of relief that the guy I hate is no longer in front of me, I still feel uncomfortable thinking about having to reconcile with him no matter what in the future. "I hate bowing to freeloaders," and "even if I have to bow, I will try to improve my position." These thoughts are in Bai Ming's mind.
Hua was entangled in her heart, and finally an idea came to her like a flash of inspiration.
"There is a way!"
Bai Minghua slapped his hands hard.
Although this method will cause some loss of money, it can create an excellent opportunity to negotiate with that person.
Originally, Bai Minghua did not expect to recover the cost of the Phoenix Spiritual Water from the "freeloaders", so sending it to the pack team to work was the best way she could think of to settle the score. However, now that it is confirmed that Gu Chen is the workshop that refines the elixir,
Master, the calculation is completely different. As long as Gu Chen can be brought under Rishengchang's command through negotiation, even 50,000 silver coins will be just a fraction compared to the huge benefits it will bring.
Of course, the more important thing is that Bai Minghua's own reserve can be preserved in this way.
"Since we can't find him, let him come to us."
Bai Minghua smiled triumphantly and whispered a few words to the fat shopkeeper.
"This, this is absolutely impossible, miss!"
After hearing this, Hu Ji's face changed drastically, and he waved his hands to try to dissuade the young lady. "As you said, this may indeed create a good negotiation opportunity. However, if it doesn't turn into that, it will make Mr. Gu have a lot of trouble."
Rishengchang’s sense of perception has worsened even more!”
"Then you think there's a problem?" Bai Minghua asked with a frown.
"Well, I think the most appropriate solution is for us to bow our heads to Mr. Gu and sincerely apologize." The fat shopkeeper said honestly. "If the lady agrees, I will send someone to inquire later..."
"No. I will never bow to that guy!" Bai Minghua said decisively.
Of course, Bai Minghua is aware that his judgment at the moment is not based on reason. However, even if the judgment at this moment is based on emotion, Bai Minghua has the confidence to rely on his own ability to lead it to the best result, so he decides the tone with the tone of the case.
