Chapter 767: Persuasion
Gu Youlu would say these things directly to Mr. Li, firstly to show off and to show Mr. Li his abilities. Second, the Qi family and Futai House kept silent about the Gu family's residence. Today, he asked a few regular guests of Futai House to talk to each other. They all said that the Qi family and Hu Dong's family were tight-lipped and would not say anything like that to anyone who pressed them. Gus address.
Gu Youlu wanted Mr. Li to ask for him. Mr. Li is an official. As long as he speaks in person, the Hu Dong family and the Qi family will not dare not say anything.
But as soon as he said these words, not to mention Li Zhuang and others who were waiting nearby, even Mr. Li felt that it was too much.
Mr. Li said: "Youlu, although you are both named Gu, it is not easy to cooperate when it comes to making a living."
Li Zhuang said from the side: "Third Master Lu, your Excellency is right. Making a living together is not that simple. Let's eat dinner first."
You must be willing to do business with the old Gu family?
How could Mr. Lu say such a thing?
Other people are doing well in their business, and when the old Gu family sees that they have the same surname, they want to join in. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
Gu Youlu was unhappy, but he knew that Mr. Li liked him very much, so he looked sad and said: "Uncle Li, my nephew knows that it is a bit rude to say this, but my nephew also asked whether Mr. Gu is in Fucheng. After building a shop, I came up with this idea that is good for everyone.
He added: "And my nephew feels that our family has always relied on Uncle Li's family for food. It is not easy for Uncle Li to be an official. The salary he gets is hard-earned money. My nephew wants to find a livelihood for his family, which can also reduce Uncle Li's burden. If If you make a good living, you might be able to help Uncle Li. After all, running an official job requires money.",
Gu Youlu followed Mr. Li and saw Mr. Li running for an official position, so he knew the word "running for an official position".
Mr. Li was very angry at the Second Young Master Li today. Now that he heard Gu Youlu's words, he was extremely happy. He boasted: "Youlu has made great progress and knows how to help Uncle Li share the burden."
but
"The Gu family already has a cooperative family in Fucheng, and that is the Qi family. The uncle of the Qi family works as an official in the capital and knows many people. We can't take away his family's livelihood as soon as we come. not good."
Gu Youlu was jealous because he wanted to get rich. He didn't want to listen. He directly pulled up a chair and sat next to Mr. Li: "Although the uncle of the Qi family is a Beijing official, his official position is as high as yours. You don't have to worry too much about the Qi family. And You still know that man, and with his help, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with the Qi family?"
Mr. Li frowned when he heard this, and scolded Gu Youlu for the first time: "Youlu, I told you not to make irresponsible remarks about that man!"
That was a relative of the emperor, and it was not easy for him to agree to it. It was also arranged by him that he could be appointed to the position of co-president of He'an Prefecture this time.
The man who put him in He'an Mansion was interested in Jiangnan Granary and wanted him to stay in He'an Mansion in Jianghuai for three years before transferring him to Jiangnan.
Gu Youlu hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth: "It's my nephew's fault, please forgive me, Uncle Li. Don't worry, my nephew won't say it again next time."
He continued to talk about the business: "Uncle Li, my nephew has never thought about taking away the entire business. He only wants to share half of the business with the Qi family. The seasonings and spices are so profitable, and the Qi family only sells seasonings and spices in Jianghuai. He is really stupid. If my nephew can get this business, he must sell the spices to the capital and Zhili. Where there are many noble people and there is no shortage of money, we can double the price of the spices and we will definitely make a profit. earned a lot."
Although Gu Youlu was greedy, he was still a little clever, and he persuaded Mr. Li to think about it.
Spices are indeed a good thing, and the Qi family does not sell spices in the capital because they are afraid of the powerful people in the capital, but he has that man to help him, so he is not afraid. It would be a good thing for the Li family and that man if they could make a living from seasonings and spices.
However, before he came to take office, he told him that the main thing was to transfer him to Jiangnan as the prefect, and this important matter should not be delayed for other things.
Mr. Li thought for a while and said to Gu Youlu: "Okay, Uncle Li asked Li Zhuang to help you check, but Uncle Li can only help you check the Gu family's residence. You have to come and negotiate the business yourself." He also explained: "Remember to use legitimate means. We just came to He'an Mansion, so we are not allowed to do that bully thing."
Although he cares about Youlu and the others, he cannot ruin his official career because of them. His official reputation will affect whether he can be transferred to Jiangnan as the prefect in three years.
Gu Youlu immediately patted his chest and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, my nephew is not a bad person. He will definitely use legitimate means to negotiate business."
He is stupid to not threaten the Gu family without Mr. Li as his backer!
Gu Youwen, Qian Guangzong and his wife, and Gu Xiaomei have been listening attentively. Now they are very happy to see Mr. Li agreeing to help. The old Gu family has not been separated yet. If Gu Youlu really gets this job, the money earned will belong to everyone.
Qian Guangzong was shrewd and immediately brought Qian Chengcai and asked Aunt Gu to hold Brother Bao to toast Mr. Li: "Uncle Li, you are so kind to our family. Let us toast you."
Said that he drank it all in one gulp.
Mr. Li doesn't like Qian Guangzong very much. This Qian Guangzong is too philistine. It would be wrong for Jin Zhi to marry him. But Im already married, what else can I do? Now Mr. Li only wants to teach Brother Bao well, and does not expect Qian Guangzong and his son.
Qian Guangzong knew that Mr. Li didn't like him, so he immediately brought Brother Bao over and said, "Brother Bao, please wish Grandpa Zeng of the Li family a happy new year."
Brother Bao was only half a year old, and he was already very sleepy. Qian Guangzong's voice was so loud that he frightened Brother Bao, and he began to cry.
Qian Guangzong frowned and wanted to strangle this grandson to death. He learned from Zhou. He didn't know how to smile every day, either crying or wearing a dead face.
Mr. Li felt sorry for Brother Bao. When he saw this, he said to Aunt Gu: "Jinzhi, please take Brother Bao back. He is sleepy. Don't make trouble with him."
"Hey." Aunt Gu responded, carried Brother Bao back to her table, and handed the child to Zhou's maid, cursing in her heart: What a **** unlucky thing to give birth to a little boy who can only cry. Baby, I can't help you at all.
Mrs. Zhou was not happy to have dinner with Lao Gu's family, so she didn't come and only asked the maid to bring Brother Bao.
The maid took Brother Bao'er sadly and rocked him gently to sleep. After a while, Brother Bao fell asleep.
Mr. Li is really tired today. He has to get up tomorrow to pay New Year greetings to the prefect and Tang Tongpan. He only ate for half an hour before ending todays banquet.
After everyone in the old Gu family sent Mr. Li away, they asked their servants to take the unfinished dishes from the banquet and returned to the courtyard where they lived together.
As soon as he entered the courtyard where Mrs. Gu lived, Gu Youlu was grabbed by the wrist by Qian Guangzong and said with a smile: "Youlu, you can do it. You can make a good living quietly. Tell us about the Gu family." I heard that the business is quite big, how big is it?"
