Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, Su Shi couldn't help but frown, because he found that he seemed to have thought things a little too simply.
Although one is a brothel and the other is a pawn shop, the Flower Shop and Dongyuan Zhiku seem to be different businesses.
But they happened to control one-third of the restaurants in the capital.
The so-called peers are enemies, so there is a certain opposition between them.
There is now a delicate balance between the Flower Garden and the Dongyuan Quality Library, and Su Shi's appearance is very likely to break this balance, and even cause one party to suffer a complete defeat.
Su Shi knew very well the importance of ice cubes in the hot summer.
With the art of making ice, one party can have a continuous supply of ice cubes.
It is also a restaurant, one room is filled with cool air at any time, and you can eat cool fruits at any time, and even drink iced drinks at any time.
The other room only had cattail fans, and the fruits that were served had lost their moisture, and the drinks they drank were as hot as the midsummer weather.
If you were a customer, what would you choose?
So when Su Shi used the ice-making technique, the other side had no power to fight back.
But what happens after the balance is broken?
Su Shi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The benefits of the restaurant are huge, and if such huge benefits are lost, how can the losing party be willing to give up?
Behind huge interests must be a huge interest group. If you offend a huge interest group, the consequences can be imagined.
And can Su Shi bear the consequences? Can the entire General's Mansion bear it? Can the flower shop even afford it?
Su Shi didn't know.
The person behind the screen doesn't know either.
Although they are all extremely smart people, they also feel that this matter is very difficult, because if it is not handled properly, there is no telling how high the waves will be in this capital and how many people will be drowned.
"What is Mr. Su thinking?" the person behind the screen asked curiously.
Su Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I really think about things too simply."
The person behind the screen was silent for a while and said slowly: "It seems that Mr. Su has understood the key."
Su Shi closed his eyes. He had to think about many things again.
At this time, the person behind the screen suddenly said: "I have a suggestion."
"What advice?"
In this case, Su Shi did not reject any suggestions.
"If Mr. Su wants to cancel the bet, I am willing to help make peace without causing Mr. Su to suffer any losses."
Then she added: "We can even ask Dongyuan Zhiku to compensate Mr. Su for his losses."
The conditions proposed by the person behind the screen were already very generous, so generous that even Su Shi was tempted.
However, Su Shi was a little confused. He looked at the screen in confusion and said, "Will the people in Dongyuan Zhiku listen to you?"
"meeting."
"Why?"
The person behind the screen was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Because I manage both the flower shop and the Hechang Building."
When Su Shi heard these words, his mouth opened involuntarily, like a fish leaving the water, having to open his mouth wide to breathe desperately.
Needless to say, the flower shop is the third brothel in the capital.
But Hechang Tower is the number one restaurant in the capital.
As long as you live in Kyoto, no matter you have never eaten at Hechang Tower, you will definitely have heard of Hechang Tower.
It is said that the emperor was full of praise for the delicious food at Hechang Tower. There were even rumors that the emperor would definitely try the signature dishes at Hechang Tower whenever he left the palace in casual clothes.
But Su Shi never expected that this woman was managing the No. 1 restaurant in Beijing.
But this wasn't what surprised Su Shi the most.
What surprised Su Shi most was that Hechang Tower belonged to the Dongyuan Quality Store, which meant that the woman behind the screen was working for two opposing forces at the same time.
Su Shi looked at the screen in disbelief, and at the same time became very interested in the woman behind the screen.
Judging from the woman's voice, she couldn't be more than twenty years old. A woman who is no more than twenty years old is actually in charge of both the Flower Shop and the Hechang Tower.
How could this not arouse Su Shi's interest?
The sweet voice sounded again: "Although I manage both the Flower Garden and the Hechang Building, I am neither a member of the Flower Garden nor the Dongyuan Quality Store."
A word suddenly popped into Su Shi's head: professional manager.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, because this was the most outrageous thing he had ever encountered since time travel.
But he still couldn't figure out why the flower shop and Dongyuan Zhiku were completely opposed to each other, no matter how powerful the woman was, why they could accept this woman to manage their important assets.
"I admire you! I really admire you girl." Su Shi said with a wry smile.
These are his true words. Someone who can be completely trusted by the two major forces in the capital is absolutely admirable.
"Then Mr. Su, do you accept my suggestion?"
Su Shi said calmly: "I can accept your suggestion, but I don't know if Dongyuan Zhiku can agree to my reconciliation conditions."
"Master Su, please speak."
"A Chen Ji and one hundred thousand taels of silver."
The person behind the screen said slowly: "Is Mr. Su's asking price too high?"
Su Shi asked back: "Girl, do you really think my asking price is high?"
The man behind the screen fell into silence, and after a long time he sighed: "I can't decide on this condition, but I can try my best to fight for the young master."
"I believe the girl won't keep me waiting long."
"Seven days, I will give you an answer within seven days."
After Su Shi left, Huangfujie stood respectfully in front of the screen.
"Master Huangfu."
"exist."
"No matter when Mr. Su comes in the future, no matter what request he makes, I will try my best to satisfy him."
Huangfujie seemed a little hesitant and asked in a low voice: "What if Mr. Su wants to be one of the Four Great Courtesans?"
The person behind the screen smiled and said: "If there is really an oiran who can make Mr. Su fall in love with her, then she will be lucky."
When Su Shi came back, Cuinong and the others hurriedly stood up to greet him. Seeing that Su Shi's expression was as usual, the big stone in their hearts was relieved.
After Su Shi entered the table, Cui Nong immediately poured a full glass of wine for him, then raised a glass in celebration and said, "It seems that your trip was well worth it."
Su Shi nodded and said, "That's right."
Chenshuang and Huafu smiled at the same time and said, "Then let's celebrate the young master here together."
After finishing the glass of wine, Su Shi suddenly said to Cuinong, "Sister Cuinong, get me a glass of water."
"Shimizu?"
Su Shi said: "Well water is the best."
Although Cuinong didn't know what he meant, she still prepared a cup of well water according to his instructions.
After Su Shi drank more than half, he put the cup aside, listened to the melodious sound of pipa, and watched Chen Shuang and Lin Mo continue their drinking fight.
After Xu Shi, both Lin Mo and Chen Shuang were drunk. Su Shi took Lin Mo out of the flower shop and took a carriage back home.
In the flower garden, two servants were cleaning the table. One of them just picked up the water glass on the table, and a biting coldness came from his palm.
He let go of his hand in shock, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Then a small crystal clear object fell out of the broken cup.
