Chapter 19 Double Waste in the Capital

(Damn it! I almost forgot that today is Monday, so I quickly gave it a big seal, please recommend it, please collect it, please comment, please reward, in short, please ask for everything.)

The Kou family is no longer in a difficult situation like before. Not only that, the business is much better than before, and there are endless customers coming to the door. Guo Dan doesn't need to worry about his job for the time being. In addition, Kou Weisha doesn't want him to "work", so he feels that he should also enjoy the life of his son-in-law, which is just idle, so he went out early this morning.

Shortly after he left, Kou Mansion welcomed a heavyweight VIP, the steward of Xing'an Bo Mansion, Xu Mao.

"But Mr. Xu is here, and the humble house is full of glory."

Kou Shouxin had to come to the gate to greet him with Kou Weisha's support. Although the other party was just a housekeeper, he was the big housekeeper in Xing'an Bo Mansion after all, and his status was much higher than that of these businessmen.

"How dare you? How dare you? Don't let me be sad and Mr. Xu."

Xu Mao bowed and received a gift.

While greeting, he entered the hall.

"I wonder if Mr. Kou heard that my winery has recently brewed a new wine." Xu Mao asked.

A joy flashed in Kou Shouxin's eyes and nodded, "I heard a little."

Their teething guilds send people to the market to find out the news every day.

Xu Mao said: "My master loves this new wine very much, and he also intends to borrow this new wine to improve the business of our winery. At the same time, he also hopes to find a tooth shop to help manage the winery, which is specifically responsible for the sale of our winery. Today I specially sent me to invite your Kou family to go to the mansion to discuss tomorrow."

Kou Shouxin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "It is really an honor for our Kou family to respect him. Our Kou family will do our best."

Although Xu Mao was just talking a few words, he didn't have to think about it and knew that this would definitely be a big deal. Moreover, the customer is Xing'anbo. If he could make this deal, it would definitely improve the reputation of Yashang.

But Kou Weisha's face was dull.

Xu Mao suddenly asked, "Zhengwai Kou, are you in good health?"

Kou Shouxin was stunned and sighed: "Thank you, the butler for your concern. My body is like this. Fortunately, I will definitely not be able to recover. I will call the butler in my mansion to go tomorrow. He has been responsible for this matter since I got sick."

Xu Mao frowned and said, "Mr. Kou, this is not right. Our master specially sent me to invite you, but you will send a housekeeper to you at that time. I am afraid that my master will be unhappy."

Kou Weisha hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, butler, my father's body is indeed not suitable to go out."

"That's it!" Xu Mao pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Don't you have a son-in-law? You can ask him to go."

If it were someone else, Kou Shouxin might have agreed, but now the other party is Xing'an Bo. If Guo Dan says the wrong thing, then this matter is either big or small. He said truthfully: "My son-in-law is really too unsuccessful. How dare I let him go for such a big thing?"

Xu Mao pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, let him go with your housekeeper, so my master will not blame you."

In fact, at the beginning, Kou Shouxin asked Kou Yi to follow Guo Dan to assist him, but not only did it have no effect, but it also often had bad things.

Because Kou Yi was just a housekeeper in name, but he also held the power of negotiation, so the other party often provoked, saying "Who is the master?", "Who am I talking to?", and so on, this made Guo Dan very unhappy. He often argued with Kou Yi, which made people laugh. Later, Kou Shouxin refused to let Kou Yi follow Guo Dan, but it was useless. In short, this mud couldn't stand the wall.

However, now that the other party has said that Kou Shouxin wants to send another housekeeper to the house, that would be really ignorant, but his body is really inconvenient to go out, so Kou Weisha is even more impossible. After thinking about it, Guo Dan is really the only candidate. He said intimately that he could only give Guo Dan a lot later. He nodded and said, "Okay, according to the housekeeper's words, I will let my son-in-law go tomorrow."

After receiving this reply, Xu Mao left with satisfaction.

But Kou Shouxin regretted it a little and said, "I always feel something is wrong when Guo Dan goes there!"

As he said that, he looked at Kou Weisha again.

Kou Weisha said, "Dad, don't worry. My daughter thinks there is little hope for us to win this deal, so it doesn't matter who we send."

Kou Shouxin said in surprise: "Where do you start with this?"

Kou Weisha sighed: "My daughter has heard of Xing'anbo winery for a long time, but she has never sent anyone to follow up on this matter. Dad, there are more than one Xing'anbo winery, and his winery is sold to one restaurant or just a restaurant in the capital.

This is different from the past when we sold silk and tea. Silk and tea, we only need to send people to buy and sell in various places, and there is no need to have branches there. This transaction not only requires us to have people in charge of management in various places, but also requires us to establish a good relationship with local restaurants. Our Kou family does not have this strength at all. Compared with this, the Liu family has more advantages than us in this regard. I think the entire Yashu company is only the Liu family, so our hope of winning this transaction is slim."

What she is best at is analysis. No matter what happens, she can analyze calmly. She feels that this transaction cannot compete with the Liu family, and the fact is the same.

As a Yasser, once you feel that you have little hope of winning this deal, you should give up immediately and never waste your time on it.

Kou Shouxin was an old businessman after all, so he immediately reacted and nodded repeatedly, "You are right. I was almost overwhelmed by the previous victory. We really have the will but not the ability to do this transaction."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "But since Xing'an Bo sent someone to invite us, we still have to go and ask Guo Dan for some reason. After all, the other party is Xing'an Bo, so you can ask Guo Dan to call him."

Kou Weisha said, "My husband has gone out early in the morning."

"This kid is really..."

Kou Shouxin sighed again.

"Ah Yeh..."

Guo Dan, who was walking on Mashi Street, suddenly sneezes, rubbed his nose, and said, "The weather in early spring is really a bit cold!"

Before he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Young master, buy a folding fan."

Guo Dan glanced sideways and was curious. If it was still cold today, who bought a fan? So he walked over and asked, "I said uncle, can you sell this fan in this kind of weather?"

The stall owner was a little confused and said, "Young Master, this fan is not necessarily used to fan the air."

Guo Dan wondered, "What is that used for? Could it be used to pretend to be a bi?"

"What is pretending to be a bi?"

"Uh...it's decoration."

"Young Master is right. This fan is for decoration. Haven't you seen it? Most young masters who are as old as you are, most of them hold fans."

"Yeah?"

Guo Dan glanced at the street, and there was really some young master holding a folding fan in his hand. He immediately understood that this fan was really used to show off! He wanted to leave, but then he thought that if he didn't come, he would have to live like a Ming Dynasty person. So he asked, "How did you buy this fan?"

The stall owner said: "There are expensive and the cheap ones."

Guo Dan chose a relatively ordinary and affordable one, but suddenly he found that there were no calligraphy and paintings on the fan. He also saw that there were four treasures of the study next to him, and asked again: "You can write?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "However, but a young man as talented as you won't ask me to write."

"You really know how to talk."

Guo Dan laughed and said, "You can write it for me."

The stall owner was stunned for a moment before saying, "Why don't you know what words the young master wants to write?"

Guo Dan thought to myself that I was in the observation stage when I first arrived in the Ming Dynasty. So he smiled and said, "Let's write 'observation in secret'."

"Observe in secret?" The stall owner said curiously: "I wonder what the young master wants to observe in secret?"

Yes! Is this too obvious? And now in feudal society, is there any danger in writing like this? Guo Dan felt something was wrong, so he said, "Change, change. Well..." He really didn't know what to write for a moment. After all, his belly was full of stinking smell of money and there was no ink, but when he thought about it, he had really changed and would waste his precious time here. He was so idle that he suddenly felt idle, and he said, "Then 'it'll hurt'."

The stall owner couldn't understand this time.

Guo Dan immediately explained to him word by word.

After hearing this, the stall owner became even more curious: "Will this egg hurt?"

Guo Dan said angrily and hilariously: "Are you doing business or investigating? Do you care what I write? I'm not not paying money."

The stall owner immediately became tactful and stopped talking. He wrote the four words "I feel sore when I am idle".

Guo Dan felt that the word was written very well. With his literary literacy, any ancient man who could write might think it was written well.

After drying, Guo Dan paid the money, then took the folding fan and continued to stroll. He rarely went shopping in his previous life because he felt that it was a waste of time. It had no meaning except spending money. Time was money, which was equivalent to a double loss. Now he slowed down and saw that everything seemed to be different. Even if he was just wandering around aimlessly, he found it quite interesting.

Suddenly, a scent of fragrance came to his nose. He stopped and looked at the fragrance. He found himself standing in front of a restaurant called Zhou Chu. When he saw the young man at the door, he kept calling him, and felt a little hungry, so he walked into the restaurant.

Although the decoration of the kitchen this week is not as good as that of Jinyulou and Chenlou, it is located in the downtown area, so it is also crowded and lively. There are also many young and elegant men in gorgeous clothes. These men are all young and energetic and prefer lively. When they hear it, they seem to be talking about one thing, which is the sky-high transaction not long ago.

There is really too much to talk about about this transaction, and it is almost a story to talk about from their mouths.

Especially the showdown between Kou Weisha and Liu Chengbian is even more amazing. They all praised Kou Weisha, and almost everyone thought that Kou Weisha had completed the deal.

When Guo Dan appeared, the building suddenly became silent.

Many people think this is really a shame!

Because everyone thinks that Guo Dan is Kou Weisha's only flaw.

Countless unfriendly eyes shot at Guo Dan, and in an instant, there were waves of discussion one after another.

"Look, who is that?"

"Isn't that the useless son-in-law of the Kou family?"

"I think that Miss Kou is beautiful, smart and capable, and she married such a coward. Oh... God is so ugly!"

"What God doesn't have eyes? It's all because of that old man Kou doesn't have eyes. If he hadn't been ill and confused, how could he marry his daughter to such a waste?"

"Look, you're stupid, and you'll be angry when you look at it."

......

They didn't care whether Guo Dan heard it or not. Instead, the discussion became louder and louder, and the lines were filled with resentment.

Not only was Guo Dan not angry, but he enjoyed this atmosphere very much, thinking, I am not only stupid and stupid, but I am also lazy and idle, but so what? My wife is as beautiful as a fairy, smart as a ice and snow, and can make money. This is fate, haha... I am so jealous of you guys.

He walked through everyone's "commendation" and found a corner to sit down, and then got a pot of good wine and three signature dishes.

The food and drinks came soon, and Guo Dan was having a great time.

When everyone saw this guy's expression of enjoyment, they didn't care about their words, and they hated him so much that they felt that this man was as thick as a city wall, and was hopeless. No matter how much he said, it was meaningless. Gradually, no one talked about him anymore.

After a while, I suddenly heard someone say, "Isn't this my brother Guo?"

When Guo Dan heard this, he looked up and saw a man about thirty years old, tall and thin, wearing a blue shirt and a shoe-tight face walked over.

Some pictures suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but think that it turned out that he was fooled by this guy in Chunmanlou last time.

This person's name is Sun Buyan, nicknamed Shouhouer, and he is also a fangren. However, his rank is different from the big fang merchants of the Kou family and the Liu family. The Kou family and the Liu family can be said to be big entrepreneurs and have investments. Sun Buyan's rank is almost fighting alone, and they are just talking about words and doing nothing. Therefore, they are cheating, coercion and temptation, and to put it nicely, they are just a group of speculative guys.

Guo Dan snorted, "You still dare to appear in front of me? I was so badly hurt by you last time."

Sun Buyan said utterly: "Brother Guo, this is a really misunderstanding. Before going to Chunmanlou that day, you told me repeatedly that you will have to discuss business later. You can't drink it for too long. Oh, and I also reminded you that I have always remembered it. But when I reminded you several times, you didn't listen. I even thought I was nagging and disturbed you from talking about articles with the little lady Ruyu... I really can't blame me."

How mentally retarded was Guo Dan in the past? He actually fooled me like this. Well, I will cheat you for a meal first and express my gratitude. Let's calculate the account slowly in the future. Guo Dan said unhappy: "Who told you this?"

Sun Buyan said in surprise: "Why don't Brother Guo say?"

Guo Dan said: "It's not a big deal that can't be done. I blame you for leaving me alone and going back alone, which made me embarrassed that night in Chunmanlou."

This caught Sun Buyan off guard. He felt that this fool was really different and hurriedly said, "Oh, something happened at home at that time. I thought it could be solved quickly, but I had been working for a long time and had not yet solved it. Later, I thought you had gone back and didn't go back again. But no matter what, I was brother, I'm sorry to you, and I'll apologize to you now."

Guo Dan said: "Just apologize?"

Sun Buyan asked, "I don't know what you want to do with Brother Guo, so I am willing to forgive my brother."

Guo Dan said: "You have to invite this meal."

Sun Buyan hesitated for a while and then said, "Okay, I'll treat this meal, just treat it as I apologize to Brother Guo."

Now the Kou family's business has become very good again. For him, there are only benefits and no harm in dealing with Guo Dan.

Guo Dan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is almost the same. Sit and have two drinks with me."

This fool was really foolish. A hint of joy flashed in Sun Buyan's eyes. Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid and powerful footsteps from the stairwell. Then he saw a white-faced young man rushing upstairs and overthrew a bartender who was about to go downstairs to the ground.

Guo Dan frowned slightly and thought to himself, who is this person? Don’t even get into trouble when you have a meal.

When he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he was still a little scared about such a scene.

Suddenly I heard a burst of laughter from the next table.

"What day is this? The two abandoned people from the capital gathered together."

"Yes! This is really rare!"
