To be honest, Princess Minyi really didn¡¯t expect that Lei Dong would say so directly, even saying, ¡®Your grandpa¡¯s chamber of commerce is so big, I have to worry about the risk of being annexed! ¡¯ This kind of thing was also said.
However, it was precisely because of the unexpectedness that Princess Minyi admired her grandfather even more.
It turned out that just before Princess Minyi left, her grandfather had solemnly told her to make it clear to Lei Dong that the Hongtu Chamber of Commerce had no intention of annexing the partners' business, and in order to completely reassure Lei Dong , Princess Minyi¡¯s grandfather also suggested that he could specifically indicate this in the contract.
HeyGrandpa is grandpa! It seems I really have a lot to learn!
After sighing secretly, Princess Minyi met Lei Dong's gaze and told Lei Dong exactly what her grandfather said with a frank look on her face.
After hearing this, Lei Dong did not immediately express his opinion, but was silent for a moment, and then sighed helplessly: "Logically speaking, Mr. Fang is so thoughtful, I should consider it carefully. But, you also know, what I said I represent not only myself, but also the Lei family behind me. Therefore, even for the sake of the Lei family, I cannot agree to Mr. Fang¡¯s request for a partnership!"
Seeing that Lei Dong once again used the Lei family as an excuse to refuse, Princess Minyi was really confused.
After thinking about it, she frowned and asked: "Can you explain it more clearly? Why can't you agree to my grandpa's request for a partnership for the sake of the Lei family? According to common sense, with the help of grandpa's Hongtu Chamber of Commerce, your Lei family can develop Wouldn't it be faster to get up?"
"How do you put this" Lei Dong hesitated for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You also know my character. I don't know when I will suddenly cause something! In this case, I am The Lei family must not be exposed to danger. As a result, I have to consider my origins and the safety of the Lei family first. But if I go into business with your grandpa, he He is bound to ask about my origins. Tell me, how should I tell him at this time? If I don't tell the truth, it will seem a bit unreasonable, but if I tell the truth, it will violate the will of His Majesty the Emperor. You Didn't I say that His Majesty the Emperor asked me not to tell anyone about my origins?"
"Haha" As soon as Lei Dong finished his words, Princess Minyi smiled and said, "I thought you were worried about something? It turns out that's what happened! Don't worry, my grandpa is by no means an ignorant person! No! I'll hide it from you, but in the morning, grandpa asked me about your origins. At that time, I only revealed to him a little bit that the emperor did not allow others to inquire about your origins, but he immediately stopped talking and did not continue. Keep asking."
At this point, she was probably thirsty. After lowering her head and taking a sip of tea, Princess Minyi continued to smile and said: "As for the safety of your Lei family, it's not a big problem! If you are really worried about being If others find out the details of your Lei family, they can let their trustworthy subordinates operate openly, while your grandfather and the others only need to control them secretly! In this case, unless your grandfather and the others intend to expose their identities, it is No one can find out their true identity!"
Lei Dong has gone around in such a big circle. In fact, what he is waiting for is Princess Minyi¡¯s words.
For Lei Dong, money and everything else are external possessions. What he cares most about is the safety of his grandfather and others. In a place like the capital, where everyone is a mixed bag, Lei Dong is not confident that he can guarantee the safety of his grandfather and others. In this way, it would be the best way for Grandpa and the others to disguise themselves as strangers and hide in the dark to control them!
"It's just that this is the plan, and Lei Dong doesn't want to say this proposal himself. So, he went around in a big circle and induced Princess Minyi to take the initiative to express this proposal.
Of course, after Lei Dong had gone around in such a big circle, it was impossible for him to agree to Princess Minyi¡¯s grandfather¡¯s request for a partnership without reaping any benefits. Therefore, although he was secretly relieved in his heart, on the surface, he smiled and rubbed his two fingers vigorously.
Princess Minyi is very familiar with Lei Dong¡¯s money-demanding behavior. Suddenly, she couldn't laugh or cry at the same time, and she finally let go of the big stone in her heart.
Princess Minyi knows that as long as Lei Dong can change the topic to the issue of money, it means that half of her persuasion task has been completed. As for the remaining half, it depends on how the thunder moves and the lion opens its mouth!
"Tell mehow many spiritual stones are needed before you can agree to grandpa's request for partnership?" After suppressing the joy in her heart, Princess Minyi asked directly.
"What did the princess say?"??? Could it be that I, Lei Dong, only want money? " Curling his lips, Lei Dong asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Then what did you mean by that action just now?" she asked, but in her heart, Princess Minyi had her heart in her throat.
This guy doesn¡¯t even want spiritual stones! So what does he want?
Just when Princess Minyi was feeling uneasy, the sound of thunder finally sounded.
"Since the princess is so straightforward, I will get straight to the point! The princess must be very aware of the situation of our Lei family. With the current financial resources of our Lei family, if we want to purchase a few shops in the commercial district of the capital, it is indeed very difficult. It¡¯s so difficult! So I thought, if Mr. Fang is really sincere about the partnership, he might as well give our Lei family a few shops in the business district. In this case, it will definitely be quite pleasant to cooperate in the future!"
"You you!"
Princess Minyi was completely speechless now! She didn't expect that Lei Dong's appetite would be so big this time!
After taking a deep breath, Princess Minyi rolled her eyes and asked, "Even if you want to reject grandpa, there's no need to make such a big joke, right? Do you know how expensive the shops in the business district are?"
"I knowhow could I not know? To be honest, I went to inquire about it just now!" Lei Dong suppressed a smile and nodded affirmatively.
"Since you know, how dare you ask for several shops in the commercial district right away?" Princess Minyi widened her beautiful eyes and asked with her mouth open.
"These are two different things! As the president of the Hongtu Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Fang is definitely a big shot! I must give due respect to a big shot like him. That's why I asked him for these business deals. Stores in the district. Otherwise, if they are some unknown people, let alone asking them for 'partnership fees', I won't even meet them!"
Seeing Lei Dong's natural expression, Minyi County Advocate opened her mouth and asked, speechless for a long time: "You what kind of logic is this? And, since you want to ask for 'partnership fees', why do you only ask my grandfather?" Want it alone?"
"Oh I almost forgot if you didn't tell me!" Lei Dong suddenly slapped his forehead, "As the current princess, you and Princess Minyu are naturally people of status! For both of you, I must You must also show considerable respect. Well, you two are still young after all, and you don¡¯t have as many properties as Mr. Fang"
"Stopstop!" Seeing that Lei Dong was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Princess Minyi quickly interrupted him and asked dumbfounded: "Youare you asking me and Sister Minyu to hand over that thing too?" ¡®Partnership fee¡¯ right?¡±
"The princess is really smart! In order to give you both the respect you deserve, I decided"
"Stop itstop it quickly! I don't want to be clever at this time! Besides, I'm in the business district and there's no store!" In desperation, Princess Minyi ignored her grandfather's instructions and immediately interrupted again. Lei Dong's words.
"If you say that, Princess, I have to seriously consider our partnership! You know, as a qualified businessman, the most taboo thing is to ignore public and private matters. If Princess, you put your personal relationship, Family ties come first, so there is basically no need to continue our partnership! Because in business, I must ensure that my partner is a qualified businessman! And you, Princess, It seems that this requirement is not met!¡±
¡° If Princess Minyi¡¯s grandfather hadn¡¯t gotten involved so quickly, I¡¯m afraid Lei Dong wouldn¡¯t have dared to say such harsh words. However, now that Princess Minyi's grandfather has gotten involved, Lei Dong has nothing to worry about. He knew that the current Princess Minyi no longer had any autonomy. Because even if Princess Minyi doesn't want to partner now, her grandfather won't agree.
It has to be said that Lei Dong¡¯s words really hit Princess Minyi¡¯s weakness.
Princess Minyi knows her grandfather very well. She knew that her grandfather would never give up easily once he did! Under such circumstances, not to mention that Princess Minyi was already optimistic about the new clothes designed by Lei Dong. Even if she was not optimistic about them, she would continue to partner with Lei Dong for the sake of her grandfather.
So angry! Why did you lose to this guy again?
In fact, Princess Minyi was not reluctant to part with those 'partnership fees'. The main reason was that she didn't want to see Lei Dong so proud, so she couldn't help but want to compare his business negotiation skills with Lei Dong!
????????? Princess Minyi is indeed a person who can afford to take things up and let go. Seeing that she has lost a round, she immediately calmed down and focused on the next round.
"Okaysister Minyu and I can pay this 'partnership fee'! However, you just said?We cannot compare with my grandfather who owned many industries. So, can¡¯t you set the price of this ¡®partnership fee¡¯ too high? "After looking at Lei Dong, Princess Minyi said with some reluctance.
"Haha Princess, please relax! With our friendship, how can I take advantage of the situation and rob you? Let's do this You and Princess Minyu will jointly own a shop in the business district." !¡±
Looking at Lei Dong¡¯s pretending to be generous, Princess Minyi really wanted to go up and kick her.
Why is this guy so thick-skinned? This is not called taking advantage of the situation, so what does it mean to take advantage of the situation?
After biting her silver teeth secretly, Princess Minyi snorted angrily: "How well do you, Mr. Lei, calculate? In this case, the six hundred dollars that Sister Minyu and I won from the bet last night Many high-grade spiritual stones are in your hands again!"
"Hehe It seems that it is God's will for us to form a partnership! Otherwise why would the number of spiritual stones we win from setting up a gambling game be so coincidental?"
Lei Dong was indeed thick-skinned. After saying this, he picked up the tea cup and began to sip gently as if nothing had happened.
This guy!
Seeing Lei Dong crossing his legs and swinging around, the anger Princess Minyi had just suppressed suddenly surged up again. However, fortunately, at the moment when she was about to explode, she forced herself to suppress it.
¡°Huh¡don¡¯t you want a store in a commercial district? I want to see how you got it from grandpa!
After snorting secretly, Princess Minyi slowly stood up from the wooden chair: "Although I can make the decision for sister Minyu and agree to your request for 'partnership fee'. However, I cannot make the decision for grandpa without authorization! So, if you want to ask grandpa for 'partnership fees', you'd better go to Hongtu Merchant to meet him in person!"
"No problemI was just about to pay a visit to Mr. Fang too!"
Lei Dong had already expected that Princess Minyi would definitely return the problem to his grandfather in the end. Therefore, after smiling slightly, he also put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up slowly.
"Okay let's set off now."
Princess Minyi could not wait to see Lei Dong crumble in her grandfather's hands, so she would not waste time. So, after saying these words, she took the lead to walk out of the attic with a light step.
?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
There were no words along the way
Half an hour later, under the guidance of Princess Minyi, Lei Dong finally met Fang Lingtian, the president of the Hongtu Chamber of Commerce, who was famous throughout the country, in a reception room at the headquarters of the Hongtu Chamber of Commerce.
Although Fang Lingtian looked to be only sixty or seventy years old, Lei Dong knew that he was a practitioner at the same time as Emperor Zhengyuan. Compared with Emperor Zhengyuan, Fang Lingtian's figure seemed much richer. At first glance, he didn't look like the helmsman of the second largest chamber of commerce in Dali Kingdom, but more like the owner of a small shop.
However, Lei Dong did not believe that the harmless little old man in front of him was the true face of Mr. Fang, who started from scratch with hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones and established the second largest chamber of commerce in Dali Country in just a few hundred years. Head.
While Lei Dong was sizing up Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang was also sizing up Lei Dong.
Mr. Fang is no stranger to thunder. As early as more than a month ago, he had heard a report from a spy in the family, saying that Princess Minyi, as a 'distant cousin', arranged for an unusually handsome young man to enter the palace of Prince Wuding. inner library.
To be honest, Mr. Fang didn¡¯t pay much attention to Lei Dong at that time. In his opinion, this might be his precious granddaughter, a so-called 'talent' recruited from somewhere. Mr. Fang has always been indifferent to these 'talents'. He believes that most of these people are just talkers on paper and do not need to spend too much attention on them.
¡°The time when Mr. Fang really became interested in Lei Dong was when he heard that his precious granddaughter suddenly gave up the management rights of the new mine.
Mr. Fang knows his precious granddaughter very well. He knew that with his granddaughter's handling skills, she would never think of giving up the management rights of the new mine! Since this strange trick was not thought up by his granddaughter, it must have been thought up by the newly recruited talent. It was also from that time that Mr. Fang increased his attention to Lei Dong.
Of course, even though he has increased his attention to Lei Dong, Mr. Fang still did not expect that the talented man his granddaughter recruited this time would actually be such a monster!
To be honest, when he heard that Lei Dong shocked the audience with his new clothes, Mr. Fang was very interested in Lei Dong¡¯s design concept.Although he appreciated it, he did not immediately have the idea of ????doing business with Lei Dong.
However, when Mr. Fang heard that Lei Dong overwhelmed all the talents in the capital with his song "Water Melody Song - When Will the Bright Moon Come", and that he had humiliated the Northwest Qin Sage with three masterpieces of Qin music, he not only immediately wanted to follow him. Lei had the idea of ??starting a business partnership, but also felt deep regret! He regretted that he did not have the discernment to recognize Lei Dong's talent and unearthed Lei Dong's unparalleled jade in advance, and even more regretted that he did not establish a good relationship with Lei Dong as early as possible.
As a successful businessman with forward-looking strategic vision, Mr. Fang values ??not only pure business interests, but also comprehensive long-term interests. I think back then, it was with his unique vision that he discovered Emperor Zhengyuan, the heir apparent with great potential, and was able to create the current family business.
At this moment, Mr. Fang also saw unfathomable development potential in Lei Dong!
It is said that people become better with age. In the morning, although Mr. Fang did not get any substantive information from Princess Minyi, with his unique intuition, he still sensitively determined that there must be something hidden in Lei Dong. Keeping secrets that you don¡¯t know! Especially, when he heard that Emperor Zhengyuan did not allow others to inquire about Lei Dong's origins, he became even more sure of his intuition!
Mr. Fang still knows his old friend Emperor Zhengyuan very well. He knew that Emperor Zhengyuan would never make such a decree easily with his scheming character! And since Emperor Zhengyuan made such a decree, it means that Lei Dong must have an amazing secret!
When he thought of this possibility, Mr. Fang naturally had a strong sense of anticipation for the meeting with Lei Dong. And under this sense of expectation, as expected by Mr. Fang, Lei Dong came to find him personally.
Looking at Lei Dong standing opposite him, even Mr. Fang, who has met countless people, couldn't help but secretly shout: He is indeed a dragon among men!
