"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Zhengqi nodded repeatedly. In fact, everyone believed this. Cement is such a powerful magical thing, it is definitely not something that can be used just by digging it out of the ground. The key is the formula.
Those Xishan folks may not understand this truth, but they just feel unhappy when they see others doing well in their former territory.
They claim to be the Sky-piercing Cave, but they didn't even think that Xishan Island could make a fortune by selling stones. It's a shame...
So Liu Zhengqi was actually the target of more anger.
Then Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "I'll teach you one thing. I guarantee you'll be able to get them back under your command immediately when you return."
"Please give me some advice, sir." Liu Zhengqi pretended to listen attentively.
"Just say that you have discussed this with Jiangnan Company. Since the purchase price at that time was indeed a bit low, for your sake, our company is willing to give Xishan people some additional compensation."
"Sir, this is not necessary, is it? I didn't use any tricks to buy Xishan Island. I spent more than 200,000 taels of silver to buy it." Liu Zhengqi was moved, but shook his head with difficulty.
"The Dongting Merchants rely on reputation as their life. How can they regret selling at a low price? Even if they are dissatisfied, they dare only grumble behind their backs. If anyone says it to my face, I will tear his mouth to pieces!"
"Hey, listen to me." Young Master Zhao waved his hand, picked up a piece of tea and chewed it carefully, saying:
"Tell them that they have two choices. One is to pay a little more and buy the land back, but they have to buy it all at once. This young master doesn't have the patience to do it piecemeal."
"This, this..." Liu Zhengqi wiped his sweat frantically, feeling like he was going to pee. He thought, why is the young master still testing me? Did I flatter him too much?
"Second, Jiangnan Company can purchase unlimited quantities of their silk. They can take as much as they want." But Mr. Zhao said calmly, "According to the market price."
"Ah? Ah, ah!" Liu Zhengqi was startled at first, then happy, and then screamed.
Secretary Ma and Qiaoqiao, who were chatting and laughing next door, were so scared that they got goose bumps all over their bodies. They thought to themselves, what has happened to Mr. Liu?
~~
"Sir, is this true..." Liu Zhengqi slapped himself hard and said with tears streaming down his face, "I am so happy. This, this, this is really the Buddha appearing!"
As Mr. Liu spoke, he knelt down before Mr. Zhao and began to pay homage to him.
"Young Master, you are really a mean person. You are the reborn parent of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce and the 200,000 weavers in Suzhou. Your great kindness and virtue will bring blessings to thousands of families!"
"Get up quickly, I don't plan to become a monk." Young Master Zhao said with a sullen smile, "Go back and ask them how they choose."
"Do we even need to choose? It must be the latter!" Liu Zhengqi smiled flatteringly, "They don't know how to make cement, so what's the point of buying this island back?"
"But sir, is it really open to purchase with no limit on quantity?" Mr. Liu still felt like he was dreaming.
"That's right." Young Master Zhao nodded and asked with a smile, "Will they forgive you now, or will they forgive you?"
"Of course you will choose to forgive me." Liu Zhengqi pinched himself hard, it hurt so much!
He said with a smile and tears in his eyes: "Whoever can help them sell the silk now is their real father!"
"Don't treat them differently." Zhao Hao smiled and reminded him, "How can you be elected as the president if you don't pay attention to uniting the Dongshan people?"
"What?" Mr. Liu's heart was beating like a drum, and he asked stutteringly, "Do you accept people from Dongshan as well?"
"Could it be that your silk cloth is also printed with 'East Mountain' and 'West Mountain'? Of course I have to collect them all." Young Master Zhao laughed and said:
"Are you confident that you can defeat Vice President Xu now?"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Mr. Liu looked at his father... no, Master Zhao, with great joy, rubbing his eyes and saying, "Master, you have achieved this level, even a pig can become the leader of a gang. What can I do? I am still better than a pig."
"Hahaha, much stronger." Zhao Hao stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Go back now and tell the guy named Xu that he must call you big brother when he sees you in the future, otherwise he won't give him even a piece of silk."
As he said this, he stretched lazily and said, "Damn it, you actually dared to put on trouble with my people in my territory. You are really looking for death!"
"Oh, yes, sir!" Mr. Liu shed tears of happiness. It felt so good to have someone to protect him.
~~
After leaving the courtyard where Young Master Zhao was staying with many thanks, Mr. Liu kowtowed three times outside the courtyard.
Only then did he stand up and go back to Chairman Weng's guest room with a ruthless step.
In the guest room, the three of them were still discussing with each other with worried looks on their faces.
Seeing Mr. Liu push the door open and come in, Xu Zhixiang said unhappily, "You fell into the cesspool!"
"You will regret this." Mr. Liu looked at Vice President Xu with a look as if he were an ant, and smiled at President Weng, "President, it's late, go to bed."
"Why are you sleeping?" Weng Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if I can get through the gate of hell tomorrow."
"Old Liu, let's discuss it. If it doesn't work out, let's just pool our money." Weng Fan said softly, "Vice President Xu pledged 200,000 taels, and my father and I also pledged 200,000 taels. Do you think you can come up with that amount? Let's pool 600,000 taels and deal with the current situation first."
"Hahaha, no need, no one has to pay!" Mr. Liu laughed proudly and said, "I have already settled the matter."
"A toad yawns - what a big mouth, not even afraid of spraining his chin." Vice President Xu said disdainfully.
"Be quiet." President Weng frowned and scolded Xu Zhixiang, then looked at Mr. Liu and said, "Vice President Liu, please tell me."
"I have found a buyer. He will buy all the silk in Suzhou City!" Liu Zhengqi declared brazenly.
"What?" The Weng family father and son were shocked for a moment, and asked in unison: "You found Mr. Zhao?"
It was the middle of the night, and it only took a cup of tea to come and go. There was no way there could be any other possibility.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao has agreed on behalf of Jiangnan Company to purchase all the silk in Suzhou at our shipping price!" Liu Zhengqi clenched his fists excitedly. He was in awe of himself.
I was able to escape from Master Zhao's sword and still have his protection. I am truly an awesome boy!
"Oh my, as expected?" President Weng was so happy that he almost fainted.
"really!"
"really?"
"Seriously!" Mr. Liu nodded heavily.
"Oh my God, hurry up." President Weng hurriedly got off the ground and walked out without even bothering to put on his shoes. "Take me to kowtow to the young master."
"President, let's talk about it tomorrow. The young master has already gone to bed and he is still growing. It's not good to disturb him again and again." Liu Zhengqi tried to persuade him. What a joke, you want to get in touch with the young master without me, no way!
"That's right." President Weng had no choice but to stop and said with a wry smile, "I was just too happy to be confused."
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Zhixiang coldly and said, "I think you should reflect on this."
Vice President Xu’s face turned pale.
