Fan Li was stunned when he heard this.
Before he could speak, Yan Shifan laughed again.
"It's just a joke."
"Don't be nervous, Boss Fan. I'm always kind to others and I love to joke."
Yan Shifan stepped forward and patted Fan Li's shoulder affectionately.
Be kind to others?
Fan Li had a strange expression.
He witnessed with his own eyes that Yan Shifan pushed Xu Fan so hard that he threw things and cursed in the street.
But now that he is a businessman, he still has to appear more reserved in front of the chief minister's son.
"I wonder if Mr. Xiaoge has summoned me, what are his orders?" Fan Li pretended to be listening attentively.
"Hahaha!"
Yan Shifan laughed again.
Obviously, he was satisfied with Fan Li's reaction.
Businessmen should be afraid of officials.
"Boss Fan, your business at Fan's Trading Firm is good."
"The good thing is that even I want to do business with you."
This was said extremely out of proportion.
Ming Dynasty law strictly prohibits relatives, officials of fourth rank or above, family members, and domestic servants from doing business.
Yan Shifan violated Ming law with just his mouth, but he was clearly showing off his family's power and being able to flout the king's law.
Fan Li's reaction was also appropriate.
He immediately replied: "If you are lucky enough, Fan's Trading Firm will do its best to cooperate."
"so smart!"
Yan Shifan nodded with satisfaction.
No wonder Fan's business has spread all over the world, and the responsible persons stationed abroad are so smart. It would be strange if they don't make a fortune.
"I heard that the facial masks, essences, and lotions produced by your Fan's Trading Company are selling extremely well in countries such as Wei, Han, and Wu."
"There are hundreds of millions of people in Ming Dynasty and the market is huge. Why don't you see your company selling these new products in Ming Dynasty?"
Fan Lixin said, can you blame me for this?
The Ming Dynasty imposed strict restrictions on import and export trade, and 90% of the goods sold by Fan's Trading Company were not allowed to enter the country.
Of course, you can't say this even if you know it's the other person's fault.
Fan Li said tactfully: "Of course what Mr. Xiaoge said is excellent, but new products must be reviewed before they can be admitted. Now that the New Year is approaching, all the affairs in various ministries and yamen are complicated. I don't dare to cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty. I originally wanted to start the spring. I’ll declare it later…”
Yan Shifan immediately waved his hand: "This is a small matter. With just one word from me, I can naturally open up the joints for you and ensure that your goods can flow smoothly in Ming Dynasty."
Fan Li hurriedly said: "So, I can't thank you enough. I really don't know how to repay Mr. Xiaoge for taking care of me."
Yan Shifan was waiting for his words!
Although it was an errand assigned by Emperor Jiajing himself, Yan Shifan had to complete it even if he didn't get a dime in benefits.
But if Liangxiu Qingfeng really had to handle things for Fan Li, he would no longer be an old man.
Is the goose plucking its feathers?
According to Yan Shifan's style, it should be like a wild goose flying over a wild goose.
"What can you say in return?"
"I'm just trying to open up the joints for you. There are many department officials up and down who still need to take care of them..."
Fan Li was waiting for him to say this.
Asking Yan Shifan to do things for him, and the other party didn't charge a penny for the benefits, Fan Li would probably have to turn a blind eye while sleeping.
He reached out and asked for it, which made Fan Li feel relieved.
"It is my duty to take care of the expenses of the adults in each department."
"It's just that I don't recognize the masters of the various ministries. Could you please help me pass it on to the elders in the small pavilion?"
"I am willing to give out two million taels of silver and one hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones every year..."
How does Yan Shifan know about the profits from cosmetics?
It only provides convenience for the import of Fan's Trading Company's new products, which was also the will of Emperor Jiajing, but it can earn an additional two million grain silver and one hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones every year. Yan Shifan is very satisfied.
As for opening up the joints in the yamen, he just said, "Where is the cost of care?"
Yan Shifan nodded and said: "I really hit it off with Boss Fan, and we will have more interactions in the future. Speaking of which, this must be Boss Fan's first time at Yanbo Huafang, right? Are you going to enjoy it tonight?"
Fan Li: "???"
What is this mess?
tonight?
enjoy?
The charity bazaar is already more than half over, isn't it that the ship is about to dock at the pier?
Yan Shifan obviously saw Fan Li's confusion and laughed: "Tonight, the Qinhuai River will not freeze. The Yanbo Painted Boat will swim around the city all night and will not dock until dawn. Could it be that Boss Fan is afraid of his own country and dare not go out? Stay overnight?”
After saying that, he burst into hearty laughter again.
Fan Li is so sweaty!
After all the fuss for a long time, is this kind of service still available?
Yanbo Huafang is indeed the most romantic place in the Ming Dynasty. It even held a charity event, but it still stayed true to its original character in the end?
"Boss Fan, don't be nervous."
Yan Shifan blinked at him and then looked in Xue Susu's direction, his eyes full of greed.
"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."
…
…………
Back in his private room, the charity bazaar was coming to an end.
Several items were put up for auction one after another, and the prices were far different from Fan Li's "Tao Te Ching".
Fan Li yawned, thinking about how to fool him this night.
He has never claimed to be a gentleman, but there is no shortage of women around him, and there is no need to have fun in a romantic field.
Later, if Yanbo Huafang has arrangements, he will just find a reason to decline.
"Ding!"
The long-lost system prompt sounded at this time.
Fan Li was startled.
Depend on!
This unfortunate system forced him to be a traitor in the past, but it doesn't have to force him to be a great escort tonight, right?
"The special environment of the host is detected and a random task is triggered."
"Host, please make your own choice."
"Task one, [Keep your body as pure as jade]."
"Mission description: The host will stay overnight at Yanbo Huafang tonight. Please do not have contact with any women."
"Task reward: Personal details of Oiran Xue Susu."
"Task two, [Wandering around]."
"Task description: No matter which woman comes knocking on the door, the host will not refuse her and will spend the night with her."
"Task reward: A random Holy Master of the Great Merciful Dynasty, whose favorability towards the host will be slightly increased."
"Two tasks, you can only choose one to carry out."
Fan Li had a question mark on his face.
What kind of Gou Ba mission is this?
Especially the reward for mission two, will a random Holy Lord increase his favor?
What if the favorability of Lord Jinde is increased...
Fan Li shuddered and chose the first task without hesitation.
"System, I want to [keep my body as pure as jade]!"
The bazaar is over.
This charity sale raised a total of more than five million taels of silver, as well as countless spiritual stones and other spiritual resources.
"Susu once again thanks all of you for your kindness."
"Tonight, please enjoy yourself in the boat."
"No more charges for all expenses. It's just a small courtesy of the boat builder."
The smiles on the faces of the guests bloomed, but the eyes on the stage gradually became excited and changed.
At this time, a group of beautiful girls appeared on the stage from both sides.
Looking around, although not all of them are stunning, they all have their own colors and are incomparably beautiful.
Without waiting for the guests to choose, the beauties walked into the guest seats and selected the guests to snuggle into their arms.
Fan Li saw it and found that the first people to embrace the beauty were the wealthy businessmen who had been generous to Keen at the charity fair.
The women in their arms are also among the most beautiful.
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Fan Li thought to himself, should he be regarded as having nothing, or making a huge contribution?
If a woman comes to you, what color will she be like?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a gentle knock on the door of his private room.
"Excuse me, is Boss Fan inside?"
"The slave is Xue Susu..."
