Zheng Peng said categorically: "Except for Miss Guo, I will not cooperate with the people of Guo Mansion, and if I kick Miss Guo, Guo Mansion will not want to eat this bowl of rice again." ”

At that time, he took the initiative to seek cooperation in Guo's mansion, and in Guo's mansion, except for Old Man Guo and Guo Ketang, everyone else looked down on Zheng Peng, and some people even spoke ill of each other, and Zheng Peng was too lazy to cooperate with them.

Guo Ketang snapped his fingers happily: "Refreshing!" ”

After talking about personal matters, the two began to reconcile, and Zheng Peng was surprised to find that in addition to the money he borrowed from the account and the materials purchased for the construction of the new house in Yuancheng, there was also a share of more than 100,000 yuan.

If you add a fixed monthly income of 3,000 guan per month, that is to say, as soon as you are young, you can easily get more than 200,000 yuan in dividends from the business of braised meat.

In addition, the property in Guixiang can receive more than 1,000 yuan, and the income of the Sanbao number is also more than 100,000.

Just when Zheng Peng was calculating, Guo Ketang was still a little embarrassed to say: "This year has been expanding, there are many places to spend money, otherwise you will get more, Zheng Gongzi, if there is any problem with expenses, open your mouth at any time, as long as the little woman can do it, she will fully cooperate." ”

"I'm not going to be polite to you." Zheng Peng nodded with satisfaction.

really wanted to do what he wanted, for fear that the money would not be enough, Guo Ketang offered to borrow at any time if necessary.

There was no problem with the accounts, Guo Ketang closed the account book and said with a smile: "Zheng Gongzi, how are you going to collect this money?" ”

"The odd ones will be given copper coins, and the rest will be exchanged for gold for me, you also know that my family is small and has no place to put it."

In ancient times, it was not as convenient as in later generations, in addition to paper money, there were bank cards or electronic money, although Datang also had a cabinet, but not only did it have no interest to store money in the cabinet, but also had to pay handling fees and storage fees, and the money in the cabinet would only become less and less, not cost-effective.

This is also the reason why the rich people in ancient times were keen to repair the treasury.

Guo Ketang had already guessed that Zheng Peng would ask for gold, and when he heard this, he quickly responded: "Okay, I'll have someone send you the money in a while." ”

After talking about things, the two chatted for a while about the future development, Zheng Peng Shi Shiran went downstairs and took Lin Xun'er and Xiaoxiang to go shopping together.

In fact, Guo Ketang's worries are not unreasonable, three days later, the day after Guo Ketang left Beijing and returned to your hometown, the Zheng family came to a guest who did not leave:

"Young master, your hometown Guo Hong, ask to see you outside the door, this is his gift list." Huang San said as he handed over the gift list.

Zheng Peng took a look, couldn't help but get closer, and then shook the gift list and said: "This ceremony is not light, I'm afraid that there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

On the gift list, a set of precious pen, ink, paper, inkstone, two pairs of high-grade jade pendants, and three statues of Fu Lu Shouzun made of gold, in addition, there are all kinds of melons and fruits, meat, and even six live sheep, which is definitely a generous gift.

Even if Zheng Peng has become an upstart in officialdom, in Guo Hong's eyes, he has always looked down on him, thinking that Zheng Peng is a side-by-side way, relying on flattery to get to the top, and has always disdained to associate with Zheng Peng, although Zheng Peng is a partner with Guo Fu, and Guo Hong is an official in Chang'an, and the place where he lives is only a square away, but Guo Hong intends to keep his distance and does not come to the door once a year.

For this kind of person, Zheng Peng is also willing to keep a distance from him.

suddenly came to the door and gave a large amount of gifts, just thinking with his ass, and knowing that Guo Hong had something to find himself.

"Take the gift and invite him over." Zheng Peng commanded.

For those who disgust themselves, Zheng Peng's strategy is to make him pay for his disgusting, even if it is a sugar-coated cannonball, it is to leave the sugar-coated and shoot the cannonball back.

Soon, Guo Hong came to the door.

After some politeness, the two sat in the hall and drank tea.

After sitting down, Zheng Peng followed Guo Hong to play haha, but he didn't ask him for the purpose of coming, finally, Guo Hong couldn't help it, and took the initiative to speak: "Virtuous nephew, there are some important things to discuss with you, I don't know if I can ..... it."

While speaking, Guo Hong looked in the direction of his subordinates.

Zheng Peng understood what he meant, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys retreat first." ”

When everyone retreated, Zheng Peng said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, there are no outsiders at this time, just say anything directly." ”

Guo Hong nodded and coughed dryly: "Virtuous nephew, the old man will speak directly." ”

"The younger generation listens to you."

After pondering for a while, Guo Hong opened his mouth and said: "Over the years, Guo Fu and the virtuous nephew have been cooperating happily, but there have been some small changes recently, and it is time for Ketang to get married. ”

Zheng Peng raised his eyebrows and said: "Uncle, I don't like trouble, I am used to cooperating with Miss Guo, if it is someone else, I am afraid that I will not be able to cooperate." ”

Guo Ketang's worries have become a fact, although I don't know whether Guo Hong represents Guo Fu, but this also shows that some people in Guo Fu do have the intention of kicking Guo Ketang out.

I don't even need to discuss, I just say that I will change people and cooperate, and I want to take the initiative as soon as I open my mouth.

Since she promised Guo Ketang, Zheng Peng will definitely support her to the end, not to mention anything else, Cui Xiyi is also his brother, and it depends on his face.

Guo Hong's face sank, and he frowned and said: "Virtuous nephew, there is a saying called marrying a husband, but Tang marries a wife, so she has to focus on her husband and children, and she can't trouble her anymore in terms of business and business, and she has paid enough for the Guo family." ”

I thought that Zheng Peng would readily agree, and thank Guo Fu for his care and support all the time, but I didn't expect Zheng Peng to answer like this, and he didn't even mean to refuse, so he directly vetoed it.

If it weren't for Zheng Peng's status being different from what it used to be, Guo Hong would have turned his face long ago.

was dissatisfied in his heart, Guo Hong had to force a smile to explain to Zheng Peng why he did this.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "Uncle Guo, let me tell you psychologically, if it weren't for Miss Guo, our cooperative relationship would have ended long ago, and you know the reason, when we cooperated, few people in the Guo Mansion gave me a good look." ”

"Virtuous nephew, the past is passed by it, a certain can be guaranteed, even if you change people, the share you deserve, only a little more, Guo Fu's support for you is as always, it's your own people, right, it's easy to say anything."

"Other things are easy to discuss, but this one is not negotiable." Zheng Peng said domineeringly.

Poor people must have something to hate, after Guo Yuanzhen left, the status of the Guo clan in your hometown plummeted, with the ability of Guo Lao Man and Guo Hong, it would be good to be able to protect himself, because Guo Yuanzhen has as many enemies as friends, and now the Guo clan is beginning to recover, and it is inseparable from Guo Ketang's strong support, however, before the person left, someone wanted to snatch the tea.

The overjoyed and self-righteous Guo Hong in front of him is, in the final analysis, also a big moth in the Guo Mansion.

Guo Hong didn't expect Zheng Peng to be so tough, and said with some anger for a while: "Virtuous nephew, don't forget, now that the channels, personnel, and secret recipes are in the hands of our Guo Mansion, it is really impossible to talk about it, and it is definitely detrimental to the virtuous nephew." ”

Zheng Peng doesn't care about anything except a secret recipe, and now the production workshop and sales channels are in the hands of Guo Fu, and Zheng Peng even handed over the secret recipe to Guo Fu in order to save trouble.

If it weren't for the Guo family's sincerity, and Zheng Peng's status is improving day by day, where is there room for negotiation, Zheng Peng would have been kicked away a long time ago.

Okay, it's good to say no, but when you say it, you actually hint that you want to kick yourself out.

Zheng Peng sneered in his heart, and did not reply to Guo Hong's words immediately, but drank tea by himself.

Just when Guo Hong thought that Zheng Peng was lustful and was about to threaten again, Zheng Peng said with a sneer: "Uncle Guo said so frankly, then the little nephew will not beat around the bush, to be honest, the little nephew is really not afraid that this matter will not be able to be discussed." ”

Does Zheng Peng still have a back hand?

This was the first thought that popped up in Guo Hong's heart, but he quickly denied that the people of Guo Mansion had already made exactly the same braised meat according to the recipe, and they had also made certain improvements in the recipe, and they were not afraid of Zheng Peng's technological monopoly.

Guo Hong deliberately said indifferently: "Oh, what is the virtuous nephew relying on? Are you looking for Grandpa Gao to stand out for you? ”

The most afraid is to pull Gao Lishi in, with Gao Lishi's prestige and power, it is really not difficult to clean up a Guo Mansion, but the eunuchs do not interfere in politics, the connections left by Guo Fu before are still there, and Guo Hong is not afraid of Zheng Peng's helpers.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "No, what the little nephew means is that whoever makes me have no food to eat, I will smash the pot, and no one can eat." ”

"Smashing the pot?"

"That's right" Zheng Peng said with a firm face: "Braised meat can earn me a lot every year, and it also adds a lot of money to Guofu, although the production and channels are in the hands of Uncle Guo, but I have a secret recipe, if something bad happens, I will make the secret recipe public, so that everyone in the world will do it, and then Guofu's competitors are not only nephews, but also traders and people all over the world. ”

Guo Hong was taken aback, and soon said calmly: "Virtuous nephew, if the secret recipe is made public, you will lose any income, can the virtuous nephew bear to see a large sum of money flowing away in vain?" ”

"The little nephew can afford to lose" Zheng Peng said confidently: "I, as a person, have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, the pursuit is not much, the expenses are small, there is no dividend of braised meat, and there is also the Three Treasures of the daily gold in my hand, in contrast, Guo Fu not only has a large amount of income, but this matter will be notorious when it spreads, and then compared to the little nephew, I am afraid that it will be more uncomfortable." ”

Guo Hong knew that Zheng Peng did not scare himself, because when Zheng Peng spoke, his eyes were very firm and his tone was very tough, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Zheng Peng's attitude is very tough, there is no way to negotiate at all, he really provokes him, and with his character, he will really cut down the cash cow of braised meat.

If Zheng Peng cared too much about money, his cooperation with Guo Fu would have stopped a long time ago, and he did have the ability to eat alone now, but he didn't, in order to easily hand over the entire business to Guo Ketang to take care of.

Coercion is useless, and the temptation is not accepted, Guo Hong is in a dilemma all of a sudden.

A trivial matter that I thought would be caught at hand, but I didn't expect it to become so complicated, and Guo Hong really didn't know how to end it.
