After coming out of the warehouse, Nangong Yuanyi gave Cheng Feng a wink and ordered him to go back and make preparations. Following Zhou Da's clue, he would then follow the clues to find other places where food was stored as soon as possible.
Cheng Feng took the order and left.
Nangong Yuanyi suddenly asked: "Besides Guoyunju, are there any other famous restaurants in Zhangzhou City? I would like to treat Master Yuan to a meal. I wonder if you can give me a favor?"
"Young Master Yuan is so polite." Sun Zuo said with a smile.
So Sun Zuo took Nangong Yuanyi to another luxurious restaurant.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was also familiar with Sun Zuo and quickly welcomed them into the box.
In the private room, Sun Zuo asked casually: "That was Mr. Yuan's guard just now? Sun felt that they were all highly skilled martial arts practitioners."
Nangong Yuanyi smiled slightly and said: "For businessmen like us who travel around the world to do business, it is very unsafe if we don't hire a few people around us. Martial arts are high, but they are also expensive. However, money is something outside the body, and your own life is the most important. .”
"Young Master is right." Sun Zuo suddenly asked, "Where is Master Yuan from?"
"Jiangnan." Nangong Yuanyi said with a smile: "Yu Wenhong of the Yuwen clan in Jiangnan is my grandfather. However, the Yuwen clan's business is spread all over the world, and Yuan is also blessed by his grandfather's family to achieve what he is today."
"Jiangnan is a good place. I heard that the people there are very rich. Mr. Yuan has built such a big business at such a young age. He is really young and promising." Sun Zuo complimented.
There were several large families in the Northern Dynasties, and the Huo family firmly ranked as the most powerful family in Yuzhou and Zhangzhou, and would never decline. In addition, the Yuwen family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, is also famous. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan is the grandson of the Yuwen family. No wonder he is so rich.
"Since Mr. Sun has so many connections, why is he just a small assistant? And why does Mr. Sun say that Prefect Tu has a huge appetite? I don't quite understand these." Nangong Yuanyi asked.
"The relationship in the officialdom is very complicated. It is different from your merchants doing business. Sun has been working under Mr. Wu. At the beginning, Mr. Wu and Taishou Tu had been competing for the position of prefect. Unfortunately, in the end, Tu Kui took the position of prefect. position."
"What a pity." Nangong Yuanyi sighed.
Sun Zuo whispered again: "That's why Mr. Wu has been dissatisfied with Tu Taishou during the snowstorm in Zhangzhou, because all the benefits have been taken by Taishou Tu, so we Mr. Wu have to step aside. This is how officialdom is, whoever is the boss has the final say, Wu Your Excellency can only pick up what is left from the slaughter of the prefect, and we will be even worse off..."
Suddenly, Nangong Yuanyi's eyes flashed, and there was a cold look in his eyes: "Since Mr. Wu is so aggrieved, why don't you just accept it? Why do you have to rely on others to live?"
Sun Zuo was so shocked that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand and stared at Nangong Yuanyi dumbfounded.
Nangong Yuanyi picked up the chopsticks for Sun Zuo and said with a smile: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. The best way to deal with the enemy is to replace and eliminate it."
"Why don't you go back and persuade Mr. Wu to cooperate with Yuan and seize the opportunity to control Zhangzhou City in your own hands. If you want to be the boss, you can only get rid of the enemies who have occupied the position..." Nangong Yuanyi said casually.
Sun Zuo fell into deep thought...
Nangong Yuanyi continued to persuade: "Just like that Zhou Da, he works for Zhu Gui, but does all the money Zhu Gui earns belong to the Huo family? Mr. Sun feels that Zhu Gui did not enrich his own pockets, he worked wholeheartedly for the Huo family ? I believe that my own interests always come first."
"Master Yuan is really insightful. He can see so many connections with just one glance. Sun admires him."
"Master Sun just thought about Yuan's suggestion when he went back. This snowstorm may be an opportunity for Master Sun and Master Wu to turn around. Does Master Sun really just want to be a minor official for the rest of his life?"
Sun Zuo thought to himself that he usually earned some small money from Master Wu, and Zhu Gui and Zhou Da would also give him kickbacks. The money was not much, but it was better than nothing.
Sun Zuo was immediately moved.
