"Mr. Cheng Wei, you should know that there are two kinds of cooperation. One is cooperation with priority, and the other is cooperation with complete equality. As you just said, the profit of wine is basically insignificant for our Qian family. Its symbolic significance is far greater than its practical significance. Therefore, our original cooperation has priority Cooperation. "


    Qian Sihai said, picked up the teacup Jiang Fan had not moved just now and handed it to Jiang Fan.


    When Jiang Fan reached out and took over, he continued: "in my original idea, the main significance of this cooperation is to let the dog get some exercise and let him really start leading some business. As for the cooperation itself, it is not important."


    "But I have to say that several contacts with Lord Cheng Wei have changed my mind. Because I found that compared with the wine business, Lord Cheng Wei, you actually have real value. Compared with you, you have no business and deserve attention."


    Jiang Fan took a sip of cool tea with a teacup in his hand. While his mind was spinning at top speed, he said, "go on, I still don''t understand."


    "We are merchants. Even if we are already rich, we still can''t change the fact that we are merchants. Merchants have no position in this country. Lord Cheng Wei just said that money can enlighten God. I agree with that, but the problem is that money can enlighten God, doesn''t mean merchants can enlighten God!"


    Qian Sihai smiled and then said, "I basically know the causes and consequences of why King Wu''s residence recommended you to be a city captain, and I always see a series of actions after you became a city captain."


    "It''s no exaggeration to say that you are the only official I''ve ever met who doesn''t look down on merchants. Even in you, I see a real and heartfelt attitude of equality that I''ve never seen before. It seems that in your eyes, there is no distinction between high and low. To tell the truth, I''ve never seen such a characteristic in anyone else."


    "Nobles despise civilians, civilians despise Dalits, officials despise merchants, the rich despise the poor, scholars despise illiterate farmers, martial arts practitioners despise scholars who have no power to bind chickens. This is the world. Everyone has been used to unequal life, but you... Are so different."


    Listening to Qian Sihai''s obvious praise from the heart, Jiang Fan blushed a little.


    "So I think our cooperation should be changed. Indeed, the Qian family has the ability to deal with Liu Wenguang''s threat. But I''d like to know... Lord Cheng Wei, can you solve it yourself. If you can do it, all the grain reserves of the Qian family so far are your early investment!"


    Qian Sihai finally finished his destination.


    "The investment needs to be repaid. Besides the money, the 2.6 million stone grain is only invested in advance. Even if you take this price to buy the emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty, I''m afraid you can buy the title of nobility from the emperor? So what''s the use of your investment to me? I''m just a city captain. How can I give you the corresponding reward?"


    Jiang Fan said.


    "Investment really needs return, but there are many ways to return. What the emperor can give is reward, but it is impossible to give friendship. What''s more, even if you buy a noble title, what''s the use? Everyone will still only treat you as a merchant."


    Qian Sihai looked at Jiang Fan with deep eyes and continued meaningfully: "a truly successful businessman often doesn''t pursue short-term return on investment. You must understand this. After you told me about the sales strategies I hadn''t heard before, I knew that you are a more talented businessman than me."


    I have a fart talent!


    I haven''t eaten pork. Haven''t I seen a pig run!?


    Under the red flag of reform and opening up, you should be joking about the thriving socialist successors?


    I gave money a white eye in my heart. Of course, it''s impossible to tell the truth.


    Jiang Fan just nodded with a clear face and said, "according to you, the investment in me is a big bet. At present, the probability of losing everything is very high. I have to say... Commendable courage."


    "There is still a premise. Liu Wenguang is not an ordinary person. After all, Handong County governs Heyang and can serve as the governor of Handong county. Liu Wenguang is also a very special one among all the feudal officials. Even his highness King Wu will not provoke him easily. If you can solve Liu Wenguang''s problem, it is naturally worth gambling."


    "Of course, there are risks, but this is the way the world is. You must pay the corresponding price if you want to get much. If you lose the bet, you will lose your money, but once you win the bet... You will be rich for a hundred years. In that case, it is certainly worth gambling. As a successful big businessman, what I am most proud of is not my own means of doing business, but my own vision of people Mr. Cheng Wei, you... Are worth gambling. "


    Qian Sihai said with a smile.


    "Since the status of Heyang city is so special, why have I contacted Lord Gu Yan so many times, but I don''t think Lord Gu is powerful?"


    Jiang Fan didn''t take money from all over the world, but shifted the topic to Gu Yan.


    "Cheng Wei, if you think about it from another angle, it will make you feel that he is not powerful. Isn''t this itself... Very powerful? After all, Heyang city guard is different from Han Dong county guard. Whether it''s level, status or influence in the imperial court, it''s not at the same level."


    "The governor of Handong doesn''t directly face the Lord Wu''s residence. The Lord Wu''s residence is also willing to sell the governor of Handong''s face. But Heyang city guard is different. Living next to the Lord Wu''s residence, there are too many things to pay attention to, and the pressure is unimaginable. In this case, it''s rare for Gu Yanzhi to hold the city guard in this position."


    Qian Sihai spoke highly of Gu Yan.


    Jiang Fan nodded silently and then said bluntly, "I will find someone to verify the amount of grain you said, so as to confirm that what you said is true. As long as there is no problem, I will deal with Liu Wenguang''s problem."


    "Of course, your men have a group of experts, which I know, so you can arrange people to carry out the verification secretly. I will make my people vigilant. In this case, it is also a display of strength. I don''t think you will appreciate it."


    Qian Sihai said with a smile.


    "There''s a question I''m curious about. Mr. Qian, what would you do if I didn''t show tit for tat to your temptation just now, but was fooled over by you and chose to face Liu Wenguang''s threat directly?"


    Jiang Fan suddenly asks.


    "Cheng Wei asked clearly. If so, naturally there will be no equal cooperation."


    "You''re honest."


    "I''ve always been honest with smart people."


    "Hope to cooperate happily."


    "Don''t worry, Cheng Wei. We will cooperate happily!"
