Seeing Kong Chen's cowardly look, Yan Qi showed a wicked smile.
Kong Chen sweated profusely: "Master Yan, you...I..."
Yan Qi smiled enough and patted Kong Chen on the shoulder: "Master Kong Chen, don't be afraid. Although I am a profiteer, I am not a bad businessman. What I mean is that I want to own this dock, and I will give it to you." A fair price. What Master Kong Chen needs to do is to give me a chance to compete fairly."
Kong Chen touched the sweat stains on his head: "Then if you didn't tell me earlier, I would be frightened and I would sweat all over my forehead. Don't worry about this, I promise you, there must be fairness."
"That's fine then."
Yan Qi snapped his fingers.
Fair competition, who is afraid of whom?
What Yan Qi is not afraid of the most is fairness.
Now, the Huaxing Association is large in scale, full of ships, and fully staffed with experienced sailors.
Moreover, there are four wealthy families providing money behind the scenes.
Everything is ready and nothing is missing.
As long as there are no tricks, this piece of dock is meat in your mouth.
Can you run?
The reason why Yan Qi wanted Kong Chen to be fair was because of Jie Siwen from the capital.
This guy is also in the water transport business.
Jie Siwen is Jie Sanjia's cousin.
Jie Sanjia brought Jie Siwen with him, so there is no need to see him with his dagger.
Those are lice on a bald man's head, you know.
They came here by water from Suzhou.
Kong Chen was Daoyuan of the provincial government and the third in command, co-managing Suzhou, Yangzhou and Jinling.
Therefore, Kong Chen can speak out about Suzhou's water transportation.
Xie Sanjia wants to be the one to dictate the rules, but he's afraid he can't.
Kong Chen took a sip of the tea and suddenly remembered: "Master Yan, I haven't told you yet, how do you know that this cruise ship is owned by Jie Sanjia?"
Yan Qi chuckled: "There is a proverb: Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together."
Kong Chen nodded: "I would like to hear your advice."
Yan Qidao: "Most scholars are humble in words but proud in heart. They are full of knowledge. They want others to know but don't want to show off deliberately. It is very contradictory. Especially those scholars who are full of intelligence and academic achievements want to become famous in one fell swoop. The world knows."
Kong Chen nodded: "What Mr. Yan said is true. There is no need to deny it. When I was young, I had the same thoughts, haha."
Yan Qi continued: "Today, Suzhou's flower-picking order has become famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Thousands of students have gathered together and everyone is eagerly looking forward to it. Therefore, this is a good opportunity to become famous all over the world. If you can win the first place, you will not only get Beauty and talent will make you famous all over the world.”
At this point, Yan Qi changed the subject and looked at Kong Chen: "In terms of talent, who can compare to Jie Sanjia? Moreover, he is domineering, arrogant and likes to be new and different. Otherwise, how can he be different? Can the Lin family's workshop be closed down before the Chamber of Commerce? To act like this is obviously desperate."
"With his eagerness for quick success, domineering and arrogant temperament, he will definitely come to participate in the flower-picking order. It would be strange if he didn't come. If he participates in the flower-picking order, with his status and connections, coupled with his extremely arrogant temperament, it will be very difficult for him to participate in the flower-picking order." The boat must be the most luxurious. If you dare to surpass him, he will definitely hate you for the rest of his life."
Kong Chen suddenly realized what he said and thought for a long time: "Well said, well said. Mr. Yan's every word is precious, and I have been taught again."
"Hey, hey, is this Kong Chen's ship?"
Kong Chen was asking Yan Qi for advice when he heard an inappropriate cry from Xie Sanjia's boat.
Kong Chen and Yan Qi looked outside together, and saw a man who looked like a butler on Jie Sanjia's ship, staring over here, holding his shoulders, shaking his legs, smoking a dry cigarette, and puffing on clouds.
Kong Chen was a little angry.
Everyone has a temper.
This guy actually called me Kong Chen.
Don't you know to add the word 'adult' at the end?
Kong Chen values politeness more.
In terms of age, I am the same age as your father, and in terms of status, I am a provincial Daoyuan, the third in command.
When it comes to learning, I have been a successful candidate.
You guy, you actually called me Kong Chen?
Rely on your grandma.
As strong as Yan Qi, as smart as Yan Qi, and as unruly as Yan Qi, you still call me Brother Kong, or Lord Kong Chen.
Who do you think you are, and you dare to call me Kong Chen?
Kong Chen became angrier the more he thought about it.
Even a housekeeper is so arrogant. From this, we can see how arrogant Jie Sanjia can be? Yan Qi really guessed it.
Jie Sanjia is nothing.
Kong Chen gritted his teeth and did not answer the arrogant butler. He complained to Yan Qi in a low voice: "Did you see that in the eyes of a steward named Jie Sanjia, I am nothing but bullshit? It is obvious from the inside. How arrogant.”
The steward on Jie Sanjia's boat reached over and asked coldly: "Hey, hey, hey, I said, didn't you hear me? Are you deaf? Let me ask again, is this Kong Chen's ship? Is that so? Is that so? Just reply if you are not mute."
day!
Kong Chen was so angry that his beard stood up.
These three "Hey, hey, hey," were simply arrogant to the extreme.
Behind him, he was deaf and mute.
I couldn't be more arrogant.
If it weren't for the fact that Sanjia's boat was too tall and big to reach this shitty butler, Kong Chen would have really wanted to slap this butler's mouth with the sole of his shoe.
Kong Chen was itching his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless.
How could Kong Chen reply to such a scumbag?
He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Yan Qi pulled Kong Chen's sleeve and looked up at the housekeeper with a smile: "Brother, what can I do?"
The housekeeper puffed out his chest, pinched his waist, raised his head, blew out a big smoke ring, flattened his mouth, and said slowly: "My family, Jie Jieyuan, wants to summon you."
Kong Chen became even more angry.
What does it mean to summon me?
I am a third-grade official, and I am only a fourth-grade official after being released from the third grade. He is half a level lower than me, why should he summon me?
Is the official position of the governor of Jiangsu high? Do you dare to summon me?
Do officials from the capital have a halo bonus?
Kong Chen was full of evil spirits.
After just a few sips of wine, the butler was already full of anger.
"snort!"
Kong Chen snorted and walked away.
Yan Qi smiled brightly: "Oh, it's such an honor to be summoned by Jie Jieyuan. This brother, Lord Kong Chen, go and change your clothes first. Please come and sit on my small boat for a while. I have a small gift here for you." .”
As he spoke, he took out a large banknote from his sleeve.
The housekeeper had a very high opinion of himself. Kong Chen's little broken boat was in tatters and dirty everywhere. It seemed worthless to sit on it for a while.
However, after hearing what Yan Qi said about the small gift and seeing a five hundred tael banknote in Yan Qi's hand, his eyes lit up.
This guy's eyes are open when he sees money.
Five hundred taels of silver.
The butler puffed out his chest and held his head high: "Okay then, I will condescend to sit here with you."
He built a ladder and got into Kong Chen's boat.
Yan Qi smiled brightly, holding the banknote and waving to the housekeeper.
The butler was so happy that he reached out and pinched the banknote.
Yan Qi didn't let go.
The housekeeper tugged a few times but didn't move. He said anxiously, "You should let go. Hey, why are you laughing? What are you laughing at?"
Yan Qi stared at the housekeeper and smiled for a long time. Suddenly, he shouted: "The money has been stolen. Someone has stolen the money. Come and see, someone has stolen the money."
"ah."
The housekeeper was stunned and completely confused.
