Two lives and two fates [forty-eight rebirth]

Chapter 60

Li Zihu heard that his father had a close relationship with Mr. Li, so he thought there was something important, so he asked about it.Hearing that there was a young man beside Mr. Li, he remembered what Zhao Er said to himself a few days ago, and said to his father: "Father, a few days ago, Zhao Er tied a man back from the street." Very disdainful, said: "This is not normal, the second boy of the Zhao family just eats, drinks and has fun all day long, but what I can't figure out is why you always wipe your ass behind her, it's none of your business if he grabs someone, this His father should be in charge!"

Li Zihu also knew that his father didn't really object. The friendship between the two families for so many years is not a big deal. Besides, it is also good for the cooperation between the two families. He just complained, so he opened his mouth without explaining. Said: "But Zhao Er said that Director Li went to Uncle Zhao that night and told Uncle Zhao that Zhao Er had offended someone and helped the wrong person come back, but later Mr. Li left halfway and didn't say anything about it. There was nothing important to happen in a few days, so let’s let it go.” Seeing his father was a little confused, Li Zihu said again: “Son, I wonder if Mr. Ying you mentioned has anything to do with that man. I heard that man also Very handsome, will you..."

Hearing this, Li Taiye immediately vetoed his son's idea. After all, who wouldn't associate Yinhu with that man? Can a person who has suffered such humiliation talk and laugh like this?Moreover, no one mentioned the Zhao Mansion, so it didn't look like there was any hatred at all.

"But father, don't you think the timing is too coincidental? Mr. Li is not a person who talks nonsense. He must have offended someone when he said that he is a sinner. What is the connection between that man and this Mr. Ying, or that man is this man?" Mr. Ying's male favorite? Zhao Er said that the man Shenhang has a piece of valuable jade, which is not something ordinary people can have."

Li Taiye still couldn't believe that Yinhu would have a male favourite. Others who have good male sex should be the same as Zhao Er, Mr. Ying, absolutely impossible.Neither father nor son convinced the other in the end, and this matter was irrelevant to Li Fu anyway, so they didn't mention it.

I have to say that Li Zihu's intuition is very correct, but it's a pity that Zhao Er is not so vigilant. If he can know, maybe he can avoid the disaster of destroying his family in the future.About half a month later, the business community in Suzhou was in an uproar. Many businessmen saw business opportunities. The famous Jiu Age offered to give up the right to purchase silk and grain, which were two major items that made money.Although Brother Jiu was reprimanded some time ago, the emperor has not weakened the trend of Brother Jiu so far. When will it come back? At least there should be a buffer of one or two months.Everyone has doubts about this, but they don't have time to think about why in the face of interests.So what is all this about?

This should be blamed on Yinhu. After learning that Yinyu was reprimanded by Huang Ama, Yinhu realized that the time had come. It didn't take long, and with Yinzhen's outrageous words this time, Huang Ama's patience was almost exhausted.Yinzhen's hand stretched too far, and under the circumstances that Huang Ama already had the consciousness of attacking Yinzhen, continuing to develop his strength would only cause more dissatisfaction.So Yinhu wrote a letter to Yinhu, telling him his plan, Yinhu listened to Yinhu's words, and soon took the initiative to ask for an order, so Suzhou heard the news.

Li Taiye was very impressed when he heard the news, because Yinhu had talked about it in front of him not long ago.Yinhu asserted at that time that if Brother Jiu was a person with a vision to do great things, he would voluntarily give up a few deals to show his loyalty. Brother just became an imperial merchant and he is very arrogant. He came to Suzhou and wanted them merchants. If he established a chamber of commerce with the intention of taking over all the silk business in Suzhou, he has a big appetite. How could such a person give up the fat in his mouth?Yinhu shook his head and said, Brother Jiu was in the limelight at that time, if he didn't take advantage of this momentum to win the situation in one step, it would be very conspicuous if he took it later.It is very important to develop in one go, because he is different from others, he has a lot of confidence, as long as he gets it, he has enough appetite to swallow it.But now the emperor can't stand him anymore, it's not difficult to do this with his previous courage.

"Master, Li Taiye from the Li House has posted a post." Liu Qi reported outside, and Yinhu let go of the account book in his hand, "Bring Master Li to the chess room, and I want to have a good game with Master Li." In order to get along with each other, originally there was no chess room in Li He's mansion, this was specially arranged for Yinhu.

When Yinhu tidied up and stepped into the chess room, Li Taiye greeted him, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "You are really caring. I mentioned the chess room last time. I didn't expect to arrange it in the past few days." Alright, it looks like we're really going to play chess well today."

"Hehe, Mr. Li is too polite. It's hard to meet your opponent at chess and have a good time. The opportunity is rare, and there will not be many opportunities in the future." Yinhu and Li Taiye are chess friends, and they get along with each other as equals.

"Not many chances? That's right. There have been a lot of things happening in the capital recently. The young master's family must be in a hurry. I wonder when the young master plans to leave?"

"Speaking of leaving, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask Mr. Li, and I have been wondering if this is too abrupt."

"It's okay, son, tell me?"

"I don't know if Mr. Li wants to add the character 'Huang' in front of the Shang character. Now is the right time."

"I don't want to hide it from you, my lord. I've always thought about it. But a few years ago, brother Jiu was too popular, and if he was an imperial merchant, he would offend people if he wasn't careful. Besides, it's not easy to become an imperial merchant. The Li family is in Suzhou. It is considered a big family, but it is nothing to put it in the capital, and it is powerless."

"Mr. Li, I won't hide it from you. The first thing I came to Suzhou this time was to relax, and the second was to find a suitable partner for the silk trade. My father has always wanted to get involved in the silk business, but silk has always been for Jiu'a. Brother is in control. I got news from the court some time ago, saying that brother Jiu might let go, and brother Jiu's silk business is not doing well. Maybe his father's plan will be implemented. But I'm not sure, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable , so some time ago I didn't reveal to Mr. Li my willingness to cooperate. Now that the situation has been settled, I dare to tell you with confidence. If you and I join hands, I believe we will be able to win the silk industry.

"Since the young master said so, I also tell the truth, I am willing to cooperate with the young master. But why should the young master cooperate with me? I believe that with the strength of the young master, I can do it by myself, or I can find other partners? I am divided for no reason. I can't swallow such a big piece of meat with peace of mind." Li Taiye is right, the fact that Yinhu can have Mr. Li's property is enough to show that his family has a big business and is fully capable of becoming an imperial merchant by himself. unnecessary.

"Mr. Li does not know that it is not easy to become an imperial silk merchant. The financial relationship of the Ying family alone can only guarantee fair competition among so many silk merchants. Because of the precedent of Brother Nine, the emperor is very concerned about this time. The selection of imperial merchants is very important, and real materials are needed. The watermarking technology of Mr. Li and the Li family can just make up for this weakness. The Ying family and the Li family complement each other, and they will definitely win." Yinhu pointed out the facts and saw Mr. Li Still hesitating, he added: "If you agree, we will set up a separate company, specializing in silk business, and set up written documents, and the profits will be divided into [-] to [-]%. The process of watermarking is completely under your control, so you don't have to worry about it once you apply. If the government has mastered the watermarking technology, it will break its promise, and Yingfu also believes that no one else can give up more than five points, and is confident that you will be handed down to cooperate with us, so that neither of us will have to worry about the other party breaking the promise."

The conditions proposed by Yinhu are very attractive. At that time, there was no such thing as technical patents. The common people’s practice was to split [-]-[-]% or [-]-[-]% , but Huangshang didn’t need anything else. Difficult things, all the nobles in the capital are very difficult to deal with, and Li Shi alone may not be able to handle it.Mr. Li also knows this. It can be said that Yinhu has completely solved his worries. The ancestral technology of watermarking that he cares most about is guaranteed, so he doesn't have to worry about dealing with bullying when he crosses the river and demolishes the bridge.But there is one last problem, which is that Yinhu has not revealed his real background until now. There are no high-ranking officials or businessmen surnamed Ying in the capital. It's not cheating, it's always awkward or inconvenient to go out, Mr. Li understands, but at this critical moment, Yinhu hasn't spoken to himself, how can he feel at ease?

Yinhu saw Mr. Li's hesitation: "If Mr. Li has any dissatisfaction, you can say it. I will do my best to do it if I can. There is no righteousness in the business."

Seemingly having made up his mind, Mr. Li finally asked, "What is your surname, sir?"

Yinhu made a sudden realization: "Look at me, huh, Mr. Li, forgive me. My father's surname is Zhou, but my mother's surname is Ying. This time I used my mother's surname as my pseudonym. My father is mainly in the tea business."

"Oh, it turns out that you are the son of Boss Zhou of the tea house. Boss Zhou is a refined man. Everyone says he has the style of a Confucian businessman. No wonder he gave birth to a son like you. No wonder it's no wonder that blue is better than blue. I agree to this." Yes, if there is anything that needs me to do, I will do my best. Haha, that’s how it is, I was thinking, you don’t have a smell of money on your body, and you don’t look at businessmen at all, that’s how it is…”

The Boss Zhou mentioned by Yinhu is indeed a real person, named Zhou Qiqing, he is Yinhu's confidant, Yinhu noticed him in the previous life, and in this life, he is close to him and the two became friends, so he also worked for him logically .He is a person worthy of association, he is loyal and committed, everyone who has dealt with him is willing to cooperate with him again, so as soon as he said his surname Zhou, Li Taiye agreed.Doing business with Zhou Qiqing doesn't need to worry about things like treachery. During his many years of business career, he has become a rare model in the business world with his unique personality charm and brilliant business secrets.He never sold counterfeit tea leaves to people, and the tea roasting technique he invented added a unique flavor to the tea leaves.Ordinary tea leaves have a faint green and astringent taste no matter how they are roasted, but once his tea leaves go through a series of "baking" processes, they will lose their astringency and retain their fragrance. An intricate web of relationships.

After sending Li Taiye away, Yinhu then summoned Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, what do you think of Li Taiye?" Mr. Li was about to answer, when Yinhu himself said, "How is the preparation, Mr. Zhao's family?" No one noticed." "No." "I believe it will be over soon, and it's time to write to Zhou Qiqing. I accepted a silk business for him without telling him. I don't know if I have any complaints. .”
