Cao Cao took Liu Bei to visit Cao Song, preparing to defeat the autumn wind from Cao Song's side.
After Cao Song learned about this, he also thought it was very good. Cao was worried that he could not repay Liu Bei's kindness to Cao Cao. Isn't now an opportunity to repay Liu Bei?
If Cao Cao wants to gain a solid position under Liu Bei, the Cao family must also have their own core competitiveness, but the personal connections they are most proud of have now been crushed by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei can do it without their help. High position.
Therefore, we must help Liu Bei in other aspects and show our core competitiveness.
Now it seems that money is a more meaningful core competitiveness in Liu Bei's pursuit of great things.
Cao was willing to pay something in exchange for Liu Bei's attention to Cao.
With the financial support of two wealthy men, Cao Cao and Zhen Yan, Liu Bei had the confidence to recruit troops.
But this is not enough.
Liu Bei felt that he had so many friends in the past, and the personal relationships he had maintained in Luoyang for so long, would always play a different role at critical moments.
Moreover, when it comes to army recruitment, the Cao family and the Zhen family will not completely monopolize the recruitment expenses. Helping Liu Bei and investing in Liu Bei are a complete blessing. This kind of blessing is not a blessing for the Cao family and the Zhen family. Two families can eat it.
Their appetites are not that big. If they eat everything, they will burst their bellies.
So Liu Bei decided to carry out a sweep of people in his circle of friends and promote his blessings widely so that all his friends could enjoy this blessing.
And he knows that most of the people who can be his friends are not poor.
Speaking of blessings, the first thing Liu Bei thought of was Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao often came to Liu Bei these days to communicate with each other. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would hook up with Liu Bei, for fear that others would not know about his relationship with Liu Bei.
So our relationship is so good, now I need money, can you not support me a little?
Liu Bei revealed his idea and wanted to sell his blessings to Yuan Shao to see if Yuan Shao could support him and buy more.
When it comes to drawing big cakes, Yuan Shao is as good as Liu Bei, but when it was his turn to actually take action, Yuan Shao hesitated.
Give me money. He is not rich himself, so he is a little reluctant to give it up.
If you don't give me a hand, you really can't live with it in terms of face, so how can you win over Liu Bei?
After thinking about it, Yuan Shao, with very complicated emotions, took out three million dollars from his own treasury and gave it to Liu Bei, asking Liu Bei not to think it was too little, because he was indeed not that rich, so he spent this money. Three million is already very difficult. I hope Liu Bei understands his difficulty.
Three million dollars?
When he heard this number, Liu Bei understood that at this stage, he was no longer worthy of Yuan Shao.
There was already a sadly thick barrier between the two of them.
Liu Bei has completely surpassed Yuan Shao at this stage in terms of power, status, and financial resources. Liu Bei's needs have completely broken away from the level that Yuan Shao can reach. From any perspective, Yuan Shao can no longer give Liu Bei enough help.
At this stage, Yuan Shao lacks the core competitiveness for Liu Bei, and when he has strong core competitiveness, Liu Bei has already become a complete player.
Do you want me to wait for Yuan Benchu to make progress with him?
No, that's not possible.
Using Yuan Shao's power to enter the emperor's eyes was the greatest help Yuan Shao provided to Liu Bei.
As for Yuan Shao's current attitude of wanting to win over Liu Bei and his overly obvious intention to win over Liu Bei as his goal of competing for Yuan's family property, Liu Bei would like to express his gratitude.
So, originally, our friendship boat seemed to have come to an end.
Liu Bei lightly accepted Yuan Shao's "breakup fee", casually deleted Yuan Shao from his [Core Contacts] list, and then went to find other people to sell the good news with a smile.
For example, the famous dog owner and walking ATM in Yuan Shao's circle, Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao was very generous, very rich, and willing to invest. He was even more optimistic about Liu Bei. When he heard that Liu Bei needed to recruit troops, he immediately offered to support Liu Bei with 30 million yuan and 300 horses.
He said that although it was not much, it was still a sincere thought. He hoped that Liu Bei could make more achievements, and then... don't forget him.
"Xuande, I really don't have much to offer here, but I also hope that Xuande can make a great contribution. I am going to Liangzhou. The mountains are high and the road is far. Xuande must cherish himself. He will return when Xuande becomes famous. When I get to Luoyang, I will take care of Xuande again."
Zhang Miao held Liu Bei's hand with an affectionate look on his face.
Well, not much.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
A direct attack would be ten times as powerful as Yuan Shao's. Isn't that much?
What is a core contact? This is the core contact!
Liu Bei opened his [Core Contact] form and filled in Zhang Miao's name, which was ranked very high.
Zhang Miao spent a huge amount of money to buy Liu Bei's blessings, which made Liu Bei very satisfied, so Liu Bei turned around and went to the powerful and scholarly families who were friends with him to sell the blessings.
In five days, Liu Bei visited more than 20 large and small families with whom he had good relations, and obtained quite generous "sponsorships."
These families often have low status, but they are relatively wealthy and spend generously. They are never stingy with money for things that may improve the family's class, so Liu Bei puts the opportunity in front of them. They are like smelling meat. The hungry wolf roared towards us.
More than 20 families collected more than 200 million yuan in sponsorship for Liu Bei.
It is not only money, but also various practical materials that Liu Bei needs very much, such as grain, horses, silks and silks. Their sponsorship combined is really no less than that of the Cao family and the Zhen family.
After selling these blessings, Liu Bei would naturally not forget to go to the big guys of the ancient literature school to sell the blessings.
When the big guys learned about Liu Bei's intention, they didn't mind very much. Moreover, they were all optimistic about Liu Bei's future. They thought that no matter what happened, it would be an investment, which would eventually pay off. So you gave me two million and I gave you three million. Funded by Liu Bei.
It's not much indeed, but compared to their usual friendship, it's at least better than Yuan Shao's.
Cai Yong had always had a good relationship with Liu Bei, and he was optimistic about Liu Bei's development, so he obtained an angel fund of 7 million from the Cai family and gave it to Liu Bei.
Then he also told Liu Bei to work hard and return to Luoyang after success. He will definitely confirm the Jiuqing. In another seven or eight years, before the age of forty, as long as he does not make any principled mistakes, Liu Bei will definitely be able to explore the high positions of the three princes. , and also said that in the future, the Cai family's children will all look to Liu Bei for promotion.
Well, the purchase volume of Fu Bao was in place, so Liu Bei added Cai Yong's name to the [Core Contacts] list.
Yuan Wei heard that Yuan Shao had funded Liu Bei with three million yuan, and saw that all the old guys in the school had also taken action, so he felt a little embarrassed.
He was not very happy about Liu Bei's appointment as the shepherd of Liangzhou. He felt that Liu Bei was not cooperative enough with him, so he didn't want to take action. However, he was really embarrassed not to take action, so he funded another two million to help the Yuan family. For a total of five million yuan, Liu Bei kindly sponsored Liu Bei, which was very meaningful.
snort.
Liu Bei accepted the money, turned around and added Yuan Wei's name to the "blacklist" to keep Yuan Shao company.
Among the big bosses, the ones who paid the most were Xun Shuang and Ma Ribei.
Ma Ribei funded Liu Bei with 20 million yuan in cash and supplies. The amount was really large, which surprised Liu Bei. However, considering the close relationship between Ma Ribei and Lu Zhi, Liu Bei found it understandable.
And considering the extravagant habits of Ma Ribei's family, Fufeng Maoling Ma, they felt that this amount of money was not a large amount for them.
But he spent such a large amount of money to support himself in one go. I think Lai Ma Ri Bei is also a very discerning person.
Well, join the [Core Contacts] list and keep in touch in the future to help each other.
