Long Chen and Zhang Qian took the box to the household department. Duan Shuang, the assistant minister, came over and said, "Sir, the owner of Sifang Building is here."
"Okay, let him in."
Long Chen sat down, Duan Shuangshuang went out to invite people, and Zhang Qian hid in the back of the room.
Not long after, Hong Qi, a square-faced man with beard and small eyes, came in and bowed respectfully: "Long Shangshu."
Long Chen stood up and returned the salute: "Master Hong, please sit down."
It can be felt that Hong Qi is obviously much more respectful to Long Chen.
Sure enough, a man's dignity comes from killing.
Fighting on the battlefield is famous, and everyone will be in awe.
In the battle of Linjiang City, Murong Xiao was killed, Shangguan Wei committed suicide, and he also personally killed Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Mu. Needless to say, other generals.
These achievements alone are enough to make people raise eyebrows.
As the landlord of Tianxiahui, Hong Qi certainly knew how powerful Long Chen was, so his attitude was much more respectful.
"Long Shangshu's literary and military talents have become famous all over the world. Douwen defeated Yu Shinan, killed Shangguan Xiu in a martial arts competition, defeated the army and killed generals, and established his power over the enemy country."
Hong Qi was half flattering and half sincere.
Long Chen smiled and said humbly: "The Holy One took action personally. The princess is the commander-in-chief. I just took advantage of the success of others. All my civil and military talents are fake."
Hong Qi said: "Long Shangshu is humble. Others don't know it, but we in the world know that this war is planned by Long Shangshu."
Sure enough, the world will have many eyes and ears, and nothing can be hidden.
Long Chen smiled and said, "It's just good luck."
Hong Qi laughed and said: "Just by luck, I was able to kill Murong Xiao, kill Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Mu, force Shangguan Wei to death, and defeat an army of 400,000. Long Shangshu's luck is also very good."
Long Chen laughed a few times and didn't answer.
A servant knocked on the door, then opened the door and came in, carrying a kettle and a tea set.
After putting it down, the servant went out again and closed the door.
Long Chen put the teapot on the coal stove and put the tea sets, a jar of tea leaves, a teapot, and two cups.
The two of them fell into a temporary silence. No one spoke, and they only looked at the kettle that was slowly boiling.
Long Chen made tea, divided two cups, said "please", each took a cup of tea and drank a cup.
"After this battle, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty defended Linjiang City and occupied Caishi City, and Nanliang's vitality was severely damaged."
"Due to the efforts of Long Shangshu in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the treasury was full, there were soldiers and money, and the national power was greatly increased."
Hong Qi seemed to be praising Long Chen for his awesomeness, but actually he started to get down to business.
What he meant was that Eastern Zhou was now too powerful, and the world would want to attack Eastern Zhou.
Long Chen picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea each, and said, "Please give me tea."
Hong Qi drank another cup and played with the tea cup in his hand, waiting for Long Chen's answer.
"Strength and weakness are the destiny of every country. Nanliang has also been strong and prosperous."
"I know that your world will want a world situation in which each other is restrained. Countries restrain each other and all rely on you. Your president can continue to be the uncrowned king and receive courtesy from all countries."
Long Chen got straight to the point and directly revealed the intentions of the Tianxiahui.
Hong Qi didn't expect Long Chen to be so direct, but he wasn't embarrassed either. The whole world knew about it, so it didn't matter if he said it.
"Yes, we hope that the world can coexist peacefully and that everyone can do business and make money."
Hong Qi looked upright and spoke unambiguously. He was obviously playing tricks on other countries, but he said he hoped for peace in the world.
Long Chen thought to himself: He is so thick-skinned, I have to learn from him.
"The Eastern Zhou Dynasty has become stronger now, which is true, but it has not changed the situation of three points in the world."
"You said we have more money, but you make less?"
"Another point is that this time we defeat Nanliang, it will also be beneficial to your world."
Long Chen picked up the teapot, Hong Qi slowly put down the tea cup, and Long Chen poured him a cup of tea.
When Nan Liang is strong, the world will help Eastern Zhou and Xi Xia deal with Nan Liang.
Because Nanliang and Tianxiahui have no interests bound together.
But the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was different. Long Chen was doing business with the Tianxia Society. If the Eastern Zhou Dynasty made money, the Tianxia Society would also make money. Both parties had common interests.
If Tianxiahui turns against him and Long Chen asks the Ministry of Industry to stop work, Tianxiahui will suffer huge losses.
When Long Chen chose to cooperate with Tianxiahui, it was for a situation like this.
"You are right, but our president does not want the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to expand further."
Hong Qi said very solemnly.
Long Chen also said solemnly: "I have to report this matter to the Holy One before I can make a decision. I can't make the decision."
"However, it's okay if we don't expand outwards. Can you guarantee that Nanliang and Xixia won't invade?"
"If they come in, we can't wait to die, right?"
Hong Qi said very confidently: "This is no problem. We will put pressure on Nanliang and Xixia to keep their borders honest and live in peace from now on."
Hong Qi's confidence was given by the president of Tianxiahui.
Xixia has always listened to the words of the Tianxiahui. Nanliang was disobedient before, but the Long Family Army is gone, the Tianwei Army is gone, and Murong Xiao is dead. At this time, Nanliang is not as good as before, and the Tianxiahui is confident that it can influence Nanliang.
This is also the reason why Long Chen just said that defeating Nanliang will be beneficial to the world.
Nan Liang's strength was weakened, and Tianxiahui was able to exert influence again.
"Okay, if Master Hong can make such a promise, I will try my best to persuade the Holy One to never expand externally from now on."
"However, please give Master Hong a message to the president: If Nanliang and Xixia take action first, we will definitely fight back!"
Long Chen didn't say anything completely, but left one condition.
Hong Qi nodded slightly and said, "I will bring him."
After the serious topic was over, Long Chen smiled and said, "I invite Mr. Hong to come today. I have two new products for you to take a look at."
Hong Qi said happily: "There is a new product? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
When sending the letter, Long Chen only said that he wanted to talk to Hong Qi, but did not say that he had invented a new product.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Give the host a surprise."
With that said, Long Chen took out the lipstick and lip balm, opened them respectively, and introduced how to use them.
"This thing is called jade lips, and this thing is called moonlight frost."
"In autumn and winter, our lips, face, and back of hands are prone to dryness and cracking. Using this product can make the skin supple and supple."
"This Jade Lip is suitable for both men and women of all ages. This Yue Huashang is most suitable for selling to a lady. The price is whatever you want."
"The barbarians in the north definitely need it too. It's dry and cold there."
Long Chen had already decided on the target customers, and Hong Qi was delighted.
He is an old businessman, and he can tell at a glance that the market for this thing is very good, and he is going to make a lot of money.
"What Long Shangshu invented is magical. Women all over the world want supple and supple skin. This Yuehua Cream must be a money-spinner."
Hong Qi had a sharp eye and immediately judged that Yuehua Shuang was more profitable.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Master Hong took it back to try it out first. If he thinks it's good, our Ministry of Industry will supply it in batches."
Hong Qi said firmly: "No need to try it out, as many as you want, they can be delivered today."
Long Chen said in embarrassment: "I didn't expect the poster to be so forthcoming. I haven't started mass production yet. It will take a few days."
In fact, Long Chen had done it, and he deliberately whetted his appetite.
Hong Qi urged: "Then as soon as possible, the sooner the better."
Long Chen patted his chest and said, "No problem, we'll work hard day and night!"
Hong Qi took the sample and left the household department, and returned to Sifang Building happily.
Zhang Qian came out of the back room.
"Can this guy be trusted?"
Zhang Qian asked.
Long Chen said: "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. We and the world will have common interests, so we can be trusted for the time being."
"Let's go to Fengming Palace."
The results of the negotiations with Tianxiahui must be reported to the Empress.
