Chapter 383 Haicheng Laojiao, one stone counts birds
The reason why the Zheng family spent so much effort to make friends with Xu Changqing was definitely not Xu Changqing's joke just now, he was handsome.
But Zheng Zhilong is really a bit...unsense...
It is definitely inaccurate to say that he is at a loss for a little wealth. Zheng Zhilong's entrepreneurial history, even if he looks at the five thousand years of Chinese history, is definitely a legend.
But he didn't have much ambition...
In later generations, countless great gods reviewed the story. In the late Ming Dynasty, among the many forces of the Han people, the Zheng family was the one who had the most hope to achieve the final fruit of victory and could successfully lead the Han people to a new dimension!
The Han people can be directly led to the ocean era with the lowest cost in the shortest time!
However, Zheng Zhilong did not do so.
After defeating many old rivals and successfully gaining hegemony in the East Asian waters, he did not think about continuing to expand his territory, but built a mansion in his hometown Anping and lived a happy life as a landlord.
Especially in politics, he had no intention of being independent. After taking over the responsibilities of the Fujian General, he kept licking his face and pleasing the court. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any way and was always excluded from the mainstream.
So when the Qing army later entered the pass, the guy wanted to be a minister of the Qing Dynasty. In the end, the relationship between father and son was cut off and he died alone.
There is a saying in later generations that is particularly heartbreaking, "A good hand of cards is played so badly."
Zheng Zhilong is definitely a model among them!
Although Zheng Zhibao has not explained many things clearly today, Xu Changqing clearly captured his core. He wanted to find the way through himself, including the Jiubian!
...
In the evening, Xu Changqing held a grand banquet in the official hall.
On one hand, he welcomed the Zheng family, and on the other hand, he also treated Tang Tong, Wang Tingchen, and Ma Ke who had just arrived from Shanhaiguan.
In addition, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui, Zu Dale accompanied him, Fan Yongdou from Shanxi, Xu Shengyuan from Ding Guo’s lineage, and a commander of the Wei Duke’s Mansion in Jinling, can be said to be full of stars!
Before the banquet started, Zheng Zhibao got the list of candidates for the banquet tonight. For a moment, he was stunned.
In the past, even if the Zheng family spent a lot of money, it was rare to see these big guys, but at this time, they were actually in a mess...
Zheng Sen was also a little confused. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to say it.
Those who attended the banquet tonight occupied almost half of the nine sides, and were all powerful leaders of the powerful faction!
They had known for a long time that Xu Changqing had a great hand and eyes and was amazing in strength, but when he actually saw it, he understood that this was not only not exaggerated, but even... it was very likely that Xu Changqing's strength was revealed!
The banquet was approaching the beginning. When we entered the venue, our uncle and nephew looked at each other, and Zheng Zhibao's arrogance quickly hid, trembling, and even dared not speak loudly.
Xu Changqing kept paying attention to their uncle and nephew, so he took everything into consideration, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Although Xu Changqing was a local snake tonight, the person sitting first was Xu Changqing's old Taishan Wu Xiang, and everyone was not surprised by this.
After all, Wu Xiang is a veteran tycoon with a time-honored brand. Even Zu Dale is not as experienced as Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang was in a particularly comfortable mood tonight, and he kept smiling with a big mouth, but he almost never stopped.
Just this morning, he received good news that made him feel completely at ease. His precious daughter Wu Sanmei also had a happy pulse.
In this way, Wu Sanmei's position will never be shaken again.
"Haha, father-in-law, you are an elder, and more
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Senior, everyone here today is old friends and no outsiders. Before the banquet starts, you can say a few words first. By the way, I will also help my son-in-law promote the Haicheng Laojiao that we have just developed and has not yet been launched."
Everyone sat down and greeted for a while. Xu Changqing stood up with a smile, filled Wu Xiang with a glass of wine, and said respectfully.
How experienced is Wu Xiang?
Just because of Xu Changqing's exquisite arrangements for tonight's banquet, he was a little amazed. At this time, Xu Changqing put him as the top spot again. How could he not understand what Xu Changqing meant?
He couldn't help but smile and picked up the wine glass, stood up, and bowed to everyone, "Everyone, Changqing is right. Today, there are a few of you here who are new friends, and more of them are old friends, but sooner or later, I will be old friends. If it were in the past, I would be right to say a few words. But now is different. The next day, it is the day when Changqing and his daughter get married to Miss Li, so I can't be too arrogant and say something useless. Let's just talk about the sauce-flavored wine that the little girl and Miss Li have been studying hard during this period, Haicheng Laojiao. I have tasted it with the help of the geographical advantage, and I am not afraid of you laughing at you. All kinds of tastes are in my heart. Come on, let's have a drink first and evaluate this wine together, how about it?"
Wu Xiang said, smiling and picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
"Mr. Wu is proud!"
"Mr. Wu is really strong."
Wu Xiang was generous and humorous, and the atmosphere on the table quickly relaxed, and there was a lot of praise. Then he picked up the wine glass and started drinking the wine in the glass.
However, as soon as they took the first sip, everyone realized something was wrong.
Even Wu Sangui's face suddenly became ferocious. Fortunately, he was extraordinary after all, so he still forced himself to drink the wine, without any shame.
"Cough, cough cough..."
But the young Xu Shengyuan, including the Duke of Wei, the nephew of Xu Changqing who served as the commander in Suzhou, and Zheng Sen, did not have such a good foundation. He coughed up and almost sprayed the wine on the table.
Zu Dale, Fan Yongdou, including Tang Tong, Ma Ke, and Wang Tingchen, the old fried dough sticks who were tested on the battlefield, all their faces were indescribable, and many of them were already blushing.
Zheng Zhibao kept gasping for breath, rubbing his stomach hard, forcing himself to calm down.
This wine is so fuckingly tasty.
"I'm here to tell my mother, Mr. Wu, what kind of wine is this? Why is it so refreshing? The key is that after drinking it, I felt indescribable. My old king has lived for most of my life and has never drunk such a strong and delicious wine!"
Wang Tingchen realized that his throat was about to get angry, but his chest and abdomen were unspeakable. He hurriedly looked at Wu Xiang and Xu Changqing.
The others were also busy looking at the two of them.
I just praised Wu Xiang for being generous, but it was just a matter of face. After all, no matter how good the wine is, who has never drunk it?
But I never thought that Xu Changqing, the old cellar in Haicheng, could be so strong that it was like a heartburn, but after drinking it, it was unspeakable to feel comfortable.
Wu Sangui's eyes when he looked at Xu Changqing were full of resentment.
I had known that Xu Changqing was a kid who was very tricky, but Wu Sangui didn't expect that this guy was going to get married, but even his brother-in-law dared to cheat him.
Xu Changqing smiled without saying a word.
Wu Xiang smiled proudly and said, "Everyone, how do you feel?"
Wu Sangui narrowed his eyes and said, "This wine is a bit interesting. It is not the same as any of the ones I have drunk before. It is extremely purity. If it is on the market, it will definitely be sold well in my Jiubian area."
Fan Yongdou keenly realized the business opportunity and hurriedly accompanied him to laugh and said, "Mr. Wu, how much does this wine cost? If you can
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Fan is willing to eat as many as he can!”
As soon as he heard Fan Yongdou's words, Zheng Zhibao became a little anxious.
Their Zheng family is also a businessman. Fan Yongdou can see the huge potential of Haicheng Laojiao, so how can he not see it?
Even those who run through the sea all year round need strong alcohol to drive away the colder than those in the colder weather in the north.
However, at this moment, he didn't dare to say that after all, the event was a bit too big tonight. Even if the Zheng family was in the southeast, the men in the north were very busy, it would be difficult for them to pay attention.
If he was rash, he would not lose his face, but his entire Zheng family.
Wu Xiang laughed: "Old Fan, your son is really a business worm. But what I said doesn't count, and what Changqing said doesn't count. This was developed by Miss Li and my third sister. If you want to negotiate the price, you have to talk to the two aunts."
"this……"
Everyone was speechless.
Who would have thought that this kind of business, which has a huge business prospect and is like a golden doll, is not under the control of Xu Changqing, but under the control of Xu Changqing's two beautiful wives in the back house.
"Mr. Wu, then, how much inventory is there in Haicheng now?"
Fan Yongdou was already a little anxious. He was an old acquaintance with everyone present and had some business dealings with the Zheng family. Naturally, he understood the importance of taking down the Haicheng Laojiao.
Wu Xiang didn't buy his account: "Old Fan, let's not talk about this at the dinner table. When the two little girls came, they also told me that this thing should be bidding to ensure that everyone compete fairly. Of course, you are all distinguished guests. When you are leaving, they will give each of you a jar of Haicheng Laojiao and take it back and taste it first."
“Bidding?”
"What does this mean?"
"It's actually two young ladies at the helm. How can we negotiate this deal?"
"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. I'll enjoy such a good wine today!"
"Come on, everyone, let's have another drink..."
...
A banquet will not end until midnight.
The unique feature of Haicheng Laojiao is that it is delicious when you first drink it, but after a few sips, it feels good, but in the end it is not overwhelming. It is really valuable.
This also made everyone feel drunk tonight, but they were all very happy.
This kind of banquet gives Xu Changqing only a face, but more so, everyone is just to make friends.
However, no one expected that while making friends, they could even find treasures like Haicheng Laojiao. The continuous surprises were so unstoppable that these old fried dough sticks could not stop.
When he returned to the room of Haicheng Hotel, Zheng Sen's alcohol was mostly awakened by the cold wind, mainly because of the warmth of Haicheng Laojiao, which made him feel more comfortable than the low-alcohol wines he had drunk before.
However, he looked at Zheng Zhibao nervously and said, "Uncle Wu, will we participate in the bidding for the Laojiao of Haicheng?"
"join!"
"Of course you have to participate! Haven't you heard Mr. Wu say before? Everyone bid fairly! This is the opportunity that Zhongyibe specifically gave us."
As he said that, Zheng Zhibao rubbed his temples and looked at Zheng Sen: "Asen, how do you feel about this person, Zhongyi Bo?"
"Feel?"
Zheng Sen was a little confused and scratched his head and said, "It doesn't feel anything. But my nephew thinks that Zhongyi Bo is a good-tempered person and is very gentle. Getting along with him makes my nephew feel very happy. Moreover, my nephew can feel that he is very friendly to me."
“Very friendly?”
