Zhang Mazi hurried out to call the waiter. The food had been prepared long ago. After giving the order, the food and wine came out like water.

Zhang Heng asked everyone to use their chopsticks, but he was not polite and tasted them one by one.

Since Zhang Mazi was the host, he was also the host. He explained the matter in detail. Xiao Gu was very happy when he heard this and immediately agreed, willing to form a business group to go to Xiangzhou to see the opportunities.

Then Xiong Qinglian spoke on behalf of Guangdong businessmen, expressing his willingness to go to Xiangzhou to look at opportunities. If there are good opportunities, he will promote investment.

As for Lu Yining, he also verbally agreed to open a branch in Xiangzhou.

Wei Zushun was very happy and would stand up and propose a toast every time. Whether it was Xiao Gu or Zhang Mazi and Xiong Qinglian, who was just a businessman, they all toasted one by one. He didn't mind putting down his arrogance, and of course he would not leave Zhang Heng as the guide.

.

Zhang Heng began to appreciate Wei Zushun more and more.

Wei Zushun is a bit old, but he is not pedantic. Although businessmen are considered legitimate professions nowadays, most officials still have a disdainful attitude towards businessmen.

Even when asking businessmen to do things, it is still like a high-ranking official, but Wei Zushun is willing to put down his pretensions, which is indeed difficult.

Of course, this may be because of himself. Although Lu Yining, Zhang Mazi, and Xiong Qinglian each have their own affiliations, they have always been his supporters, so Wei Zushun did not dare to look down upon them.

But it's already quite good.

Of course, Xiao Gu is also a smart person. When he saw Lu Yining, the female goddess of wealth in the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Mazi and Xiong Qinglian, representatives of Fujian and Guangdong businessmen, he realized that this was also a rare opportunity, and took advantage of an opportunity to

He also picked up the wine and stood up and said: "Wei Shuai has finished playing a round, let me do the rest."

Xiao Gu looked at Zhang Heng while holding the wine. Zhang Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Shuai, you don't need to respect me, just keep talking."

Xiao Gu smiled sheepishly, then looked at Lu Yining and said, "Ms. Lu, I was supposed to honor Zhang Zhongcheng first, but Zhang Zhongcheng doesn't treat me as an outsider, so I'll serve you this glass of wine first."

Lu Yining quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Shuai, you are a little girl who drinks wine, but I really don't dare to accept it as your tribute. If you want to respect me, I can't drink three glasses in a row!"

Xiao Gu laughed and said: "Ms. Lu, I really have to respect you for this drink. Just now, Commander Wei offered you a toast, and you agreed to go to Xiangzhou to open a branch. I'm also thinking, if I offer you such a drink, can you go to Jiangning?"

Open a branch?”

Xiao Gu stared at Lu Yining closely. Lu Yining was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. Then he looked at Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I don't care about business matters, but a big man like Xiao Shuai wants to toast you a glass of wine. This glass of wine

Isn’t it worth your investment?”

Lu Yining smiled bitterly and said: "Zhong Cheng has already said so. What else can the young lady say? I can only let it be at my mercy. However, the young lady cannot drink this toast, so I still wish you the best."

Xiao Gu was overjoyed: "As long as you are willing to go, you can say whatever you want. Forget it, I'll have three drinks! I promise you, Mrs. Lu, that as long as you go, no official in Jiangning will dare to extort money!"

"

Lu Yining smiled: "Don't be like this, let's just have one drink. If everyone drinks three drinks, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for Jiangning tomorrow."

Xiao Gu said boldly: "If you can't, you can't. You can go the day after tomorrow. If we can drag you all to Jiangning, this wine will not be in vain!"

When Wei Zushun heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Hey, Xiao Shuai, you are taking the spotlight. This banquet tonight is to solve the problem of South Jingxi Road..."

Xiao Gu chuckled: "Wei Shuai, you asked me to do something, and I agreed, but Jiangnan East Road also needs to be developed. You can't just do your own thing and ignore my affairs. If you want to do this, I won't care."

Got it!"

Wei Zushun was speechless upon hearing this, and then looked at Zhang Heng as if asking for help.

Zhang Heng took a sip of the wine, experienced the fermentation of the wine in his mouth, swallowed it, and then said with a smile: "Wei Shuai, what's so confusing about this? Since it's cooperation, naturally the more people working together, the better. The more people there are, the greater the power."

Well.

Moreover, the financial resources of Guangdong and Fujian merchants are beyond your imagination. Although Xiangzhou is important, it is too small and may not be able to afford it.

But if Beijing South Road and Jiangnan East Road cooperate together, and cooperate with Guangdong and Fujian businessmen, the prospects will be brighter.

Beijing South Road and Jiangnan East Road work together to build a Yangtze River Economic Belt. Even if all the prefectures and counties along the Yangtze River join in this idea, it will be enough to support it. The more people join, the more Xiangzhou will become a transportation hub.

Prosperity!"

When Zhang Heng said this, Wei Zushun immediately understood and smiled like a flower.

Xiao Gu quickly struck while the iron was hot, toasted with Zhang Mazi and Xiong Qinglian, and invited them to invest in Jiangnan East Road, thus finalizing the matter.

Zhang Heng only focused on the general direction. Seeing that the matter was settled, he was almost full, so he stood up and left, letting the others continue to discuss, and left the room.

As soon as she left the room, she saw Chang Da standing nearby. When she saw him coming out, she quickly ran over and supported Zhang Heng: "Zhongcheng, you're not drunk, are you?"

The faint fragrance of Chang Da lingered in Zhang Heng's mouth and nose, and he felt surprisingly peaceful. It seemed that he had returned to the summer many years ago, when Chang Da took him to participate in polo.

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "I just had a few drinks, so I'm not drunk."

Hearing this, Chang Da quickly let go of her hand, but looked a little reluctant to let go, and then said: "You always drink, why don't you go to my place and have a cup of hot tea to relieve your hangover?"

There is nothing wrong with meeting old friends. Zhang Heng smiled and nodded.

Chang Da was overjoyed and quickly led the way.
