Upon hearing the conditions proposed by Su Shi, Tian Wenhao's first reaction was not confusion, surprise, or anger, but rather ridiculousness.
So he couldn't help but laugh.
Anyone who heard Su Shi's ridiculous condition would laugh.
But his smile gradually disappeared because Zhou Xuan didn't smile.
Not only did Zhou Xuan not smile, but Tian Wenhao saw a hint of ridicule and sadness in her expression.
Tian Wenhao's smile had completely disappeared, because Zhou Xuan's expression was very serious at this time.
Tian Wenhao had seen this expression three years ago. At that time, Hechang Tower encountered a huge crisis, and it was very likely that he could not even keep the name of the first floor in the capital.
When Zhou Xuan showed this expression, it meant that what she said was definitely not a joke.
"Don't you think the conditions he proposed are ridiculous?"
"It's not ridiculous." Zhou Xuan sighed and said slowly: "It's not ridiculous at all. I even think the conditions he proposed are too low for Dongyuan Quality Library."
"Why?"
Tian Wenhao suddenly had a bad premonition, and this premonition was very strong.
"Did you hear about the little bet between Bai Jiangchuan and Su Shi yesterday?"
Tian Wenhao nodded, but in his opinion, this small bet at most showed that Su Shi was a little smart, and it did not have much impact on Dongyuan Zhiku's bet with Su Shi.
"What do you think of this little bet?"
Tian Wenhao pondered: "If Su Shi wants to use this method to win this big bet, it is simply impossible."
Zhou Xuan sighed: "It seems that you haven't realized the power of this method at all." Then she smiled and continued: "Even if Su Shi uses this method, it is entirely possible to win this bet, but with It just takes a little longer, but now it seems that he doesn’t have that patience, or for him, he doesn’t take this gamble to heart at all.”
"Does Su Shi have other methods?"
"Yes." Zhou Xuan replied affirmatively: "And it is a method that can plunge Dongyuan Quality Library into eternal disaster."
Tian Wenhao didn't believe it, because he knew best how huge the Dongyuan Quality Library was, and its background was far beyond everyone's imagination.
Tian Wenhao believes that no one person's power can plunge Dongyuan Think Tank into catastrophe.
Zhou Xuan could tell that Tian Wenhao didn't believe her words, so he didn't explain too much and said, "I know that in addition to being in charge of the Dongyuan Quality Library, you are also in charge of 71 restaurants and eight brothels."
Without waiting for Tian Wenhao to speak, she continued: "Except Dongyuan Zhiku, these seventy-one restaurants and eight brothels can earn a total of 1.38 million taels per month."
Seeing that Zhou Xuan was so familiar with the secrets of the industries he controlled, Tian Wenhao was not surprised at all, because he would report these data to his master in detail every month.
Although he didn't know the relationship between his master and Zhou Xuan, Tian Wenhao understood one thing very well.
His master absolutely trusted Zhou Xuan 100%.
Even though he has been with his master for twelve years and his loyalty is unparalleled, he still cannot gain 100% of his master's trust.
But Tian Wenhao still didn't understand why Zhou Xuan would talk about this at this time.
At this time Zhou Xuan said calmly: "If I said that if you don't accept Su Shi's conditions, he can reduce the profits of seventy-two restaurants and eight brothels by half, do you believe it?"
Tian Wenhao looked at Zhou Xuan in shock, because he heard clearly that Zhou Xuan was talking about seventy-two restaurants, not seventy-one, which meant that Zhou Xuan believed that Hechanglou would not escape the same fate.
Is Su Shi really so powerful that he can cause half of the industries under Dongyuan Quality Library to be hit so hard?
Tian Wenhao instinctively didn't believe it, but there was no way Zhou Xuan would fabricate a lie to deceive him, let alone be deceived by Su Shi.
Even though Tian Wenhao is in charge of half of Dongyuan Quality Warehouse's industry, he is still not as good as Zhou Xuan when it comes to business talent.
And he was also convinced of Zhou Xuan.
Therefore, there is no one who can deceive Zhou Xuan in business.
"Do you know Su Shi's plan?"
At this time, Tian Wenhao had to pay attention.
"I know."
When Zhou Xuan said these three words, Tian Wenhao's heart suddenly jumped faster, because if he could know his opponent's plan in advance, he could naturally make targeted plans.
Zhou Xuan seemed to see through his mind and said with a wry smile: "Even if you know his plan, you still can't find a way to deal with him."
"Not even you?"
Zhou Xuan said with certainty: "Not even me."
Tian Wenhao was full of infinite curiosity about Su Shi's plan at this time. He couldn't help but ask, "What is Su Shi's plan?"
Zhou Xuan said word by word: "The art of making ice."
"The art of making ice?" Tian Wenhao frowned, but then he looked at Zhou Xuan with a stiff expression as if he was struck by lightning: "You must never tell me that Su Shi will make ice in the summer?"
Zhou Xuan didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.
Tian Wenhao's stiff expression slowly melted away, and then he looked at Zhou Xuan in great shock: "Su Shi really knows how to make ice?"
"yes."
"how do you know?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Because he came to the flower shop to seek cooperation with me."
Tian Wenhao's face suddenly became extremely ugly, because the actions of Chen Ang and his daughter were under their close surveillance, and they had not made any progress at all, so Tian Wenhao had such confidence and thought that they would win.
But Su Shi openly built the plank road, secretly visited Chencang, and actually found a flower shop to cooperate.
Other restaurants may not dare to cooperate with Su Shi due to the power of Dongyuan Zhiku, but the flower shop is different.
As competitors, Shihuakan and Dongyuan Shiku have been fighting for more than ten years, and it was not until three years ago that this delicate and fragile balance was formed.
If Su Shi could really break this balance, who knows what a huge storm it would bring.
But if Su Shi really has the art of making ice, this fragile balance will be broken in an instant.
Tian Wenhao knows very well how precious ice is in hot summer. Having continuous ice on either side is a disaster for the other side.
So Tian Wenhao had to ask clearly about some things.
"Have you seen Su Shi's ice-making skills with your own eyes?"
Zhou Xuan said calmly: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, there are at least three people in the flower shop who can confirm it."
Tian Wenhao did not ask which three people it was because he believed that Zhou Xuan must have repeatedly confirmed that such a major thing happened.
Now is the time for him to make a choice. If he believes Zhou Xuan, then Su Shi's conditions are indeed not high.
"If I agree to Su Shi's conditions and cancel the bet, what will happen next? What will Su Shi do?"
Tian Wenhao thought for a long time and asked slowly.
