After the conversation, Ye Chen went back to his courtyard first, and Mi Zhu was arranged to rest in Old Man Ye's courtyard.

There are many things that can be seen from Mi Zhu to the end talking about Du Kangjiu, the first of which he said that he would not bargain and follow the rules of the Ye family. The second is to explain the purpose of his trip, Du Kang wine is only incidental, at least not the most important thing.

As for what Mi Zhu was going to do in Liaodong, Ye Chen didn't know very well, but he wouldn't just come for Du Kang wine.

In fact, at first, Mi Zhu really came purely for Du Kang wine, but when he entered the Youzhou realm and gradually collected some information, he began to slowly change.

The information collected by Mi Zhu is very comprehensive, from the very beginning of Ye Chen Restaurant to launch stir-fried vegetables, then Du Kang wine, as well as the Ye family's suppression of bandits, the Ye family's confrontation and elimination of Wuhuan, as well as the Ye family's shrinkage of power, the Ye family's recruitment of displaced people, etc.

Mi Zhu sorted out and thought about all this information in detail, and he found a lot of interesting things in it. From the perspective of banditry alone, although it was rumored that the Ye family had suffered heavy losses, Mi Zhu didn't believe it at all.

If it is really a heavy loss, with a business family, from the perspective of interests, the Ye family will definitely not continue to suppress bandits, but the Ye family still shoulders the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits.

There is also an analysis from the situation of dealing with Wu Huan, the combat effectiveness of the Ye family's guard battalion is extraordinary, so this also proves that the loss in the suppression of bandits is actually very small, and the Ye family not only does not lose, but makes huge profits.

What impressed Mi Zhu the most was the Ye family money village, he sensitively felt that there must be huge interests in this, but he didn't know where the interests were for a while, so Mi Zhu specially asked Ye Chen about the money village during the meeting.

Mi Zhu is a person with great determination and courage, his vision is naturally no problem, he found out that the Ye family is different from other families, what he values most is the combat power of the Ye family, the guard battalion can be hard to regret tens of thousands of Wuhuan people, which shows the strength of the combat power.

There is also what Mi Zhu values is that the Ye family actually recruited displaced people on a large scale, and the income was not 120,000, but more than 100,200,000, at present, it seems that this is completely a burden, and they have become tenant farmers of the Ye family in time, and they will farm for the Ye family in the future, so how high the investment is, it will take several years to recover the cost, if you think about it with the thinking of a businessman, it is very uneconomical.

In the end, what Mi Zhu values is the real helmsman of the Ye family, the young Ye Chen, judging from the performance of this year, Ye Chen is definitely a powerful person, who can make earth-shaking changes in the entire Ye family in a year, Mi Zhu asked himself, when he took over the Mi family, he was the same age as Ye Chen, but his results were far inferior to Ye Chen, not to mention that when he took over, the Mi family was in full swing, and there was no crisis.

All this has changed the purpose of Mi Zhu's trip, that Qu Yuan plough is just an unexpected joy, Du Kang wine is no longer an important thing, I believe in the status of the Mi family in Xuzhou, and it is most suitable for the Ye family to hand over Du Kang wine to their agent.

Mi Zhu stayed at Ye's house for another three days, and he conducted a detailed investigation around Xiangping, and the results of the investigation made Mi Zhu not know what to do for a while.

After the inspection, Mi Zhu felt that this Ye Chen was not running a family, but a force, and he hesitated for a while when he wanted to cooperate deeply with the Ye family.

Running a force, if you succeed, you will gain a lot, and if you fail, you will never have a chance to turn over, as the head of a big family, survival is always the first place, and he can't take risks casually.

The big family has the way of life of the big family, and now the situation is unclear, although the Ye family has potential, but the future is also very dangerous, so he can't make a hasty decision.

But Mi Zhu must make a decision, no matter what that decision is.

I haven't talked to Ye Chen again in the past few days, but Mi Zhu has already made a decision, so he asked Ye Chen to inform him and want to talk to him.

The other party is the big boss of the four major business families, and now there is a saying that the Mi family and the Zhen family are undoubtedly the two most powerful business families in this era, although the current Ye family is also one of the four major business families, but there is no way to compare with the Mi family and the Zhen family.

Ye Chen didn't hold it up, and immediately put down everything to talk to Mi Zhu.

After dinner, there were only two people in Ye Chen's study, him and Mi Zhu.

"Brother Zizhong, it's good to live in the Ye family."

"Haha, Brother Ye is polite, it's very good here, very good."

The two of them each said a few polite words, but both of them are giants of a big business family, and they are the top 500 companies in the world in the future, so they naturally won't waste much time.

"Brother Ye, I have been walking around Liaodong in the past few days, and I don't understand some of the Ye family's practices, can you solve your doubts."

"Brother Zizhong, please speak."

"Brother Ye is a businessman, but the business method is not a businessman's method, I can't figure it out, I don't know how the Ye family can make a profit from it, the cost is huge, but the income may not be recovered for decades."

Ye Chen knew what the other party was going to ask as soon as he heard it, Mi Zhu was asking about recruiting displaced people and raising the army, if it was true that it would not be possible to collect it back for decades in normal times, but now it is not usual.

It's not a good question to answer, you can't tell him that you've crossed over, and the big man is going to fall apart soon.

Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "Brother Zizhong, I can't answer your question, in today's world, it is always uneasy to have a certain strength in my hands, although my investment is calculated on the surface, but this strength will bring some invisible benefits, and these benefits are sometimes much greater than the benefits on the surface." ”

Mi Zhu thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully, although he couldn't fully understand what Ye Chen said, he faintly felt that Ye Chen's approach was right.

"I talked to Brother Ye this time because I wanted to cooperate with the Ye family and invite Brother Ye to Xuzhou for development." Mi Zhu made this decision quite conservatively, and it didn't have much intention to invite him to Xuzhou to develop, but the Ye family now made him unable to understand it, and invited him to Xuzhou to develop, so that he could observe it more conveniently.

Mi Zhu had long felt that the world was going to change, but he couldn't think of what it would be, but the Ye family seemed to have felt something and had already begun to prepare.

Since you don't understand, then find someone who understands, anyway, the Ye family has less competition with yourself in business, the market is so big, what about one more Ye family, there is no harm to yourself, if you can cooperate, then both parties will benefit.

"Don't hide it from Brother Zizhong, now the business in Youzhou is not good, my Ye family is trying to develop south, the first choice is Jizhou and Qingzhou, if Brother Zizhong can help properly, then it is a good choice to develop in Xuzhou."

"Then Zhu is in Xuzhou to welcome Brother Ye's arrival." Mi Zhu said with a smile.

"Brother Zizhong, there is a business I want to cooperate with Brother Zizhong right now, I don't know if Brother Zizhong has this will."

"Oh, apart from Du Kang wine, what other products of the Ye family can't be achieved."

"Brother Zizhong misunderstood, my Ye family now has other products under development, but they have not been listed for the time being, this time to find Brother Zizhong to cooperate is my Ye family needs a lot of food, and the south has more food than me, the bitter cold land of Liaodong, so I want to ask Brother Zizhong to buy it on my behalf."

"Haha, I see, this is simple, you also know that my Mi family is also a big grain merchant, this grain is still there, I don't know how much Brother Ye needs."

"Of course, the more the better, Brother Zizhong also knows that now my Ye family has to support hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and the food consumed is too big." Of course, Ye Chen would not explicitly say that he was going to hoard food, but this homeless person was a good excuse.

Mi Zhu's eyes froze, he didn't think that the Ye family's large-scale purchase of grain was just to feed the refugees, you must know that during the autumn harvest, the Ye family sent a lot of grain teams south to buy grain, and as the head of the Mi family, the four major business families, how could he not understand this information.

It's just that Ye Chen doesn't say it, and he won't delve into it, now Mi Zhu's idea is to maintain a good relationship with the Ye family, but wait and see for the time being, and don't get deeply involved in what the Ye family is doing, otherwise once the situation changes, the Mi family may be difficult to withdraw.

For this decision, it is reasonable according to the current situation, but later Mi Zhu deeply regretted it, and could only take other measures to make up for it, of course, this is all later.

"Okay, since Brother Ye has spoken, I don't dare to say anything, my Mi family can still raise 500,000 stone of grain every year."

Mi Zhu's opening is 500,000 stones, which is very much, enough for 50,000 people to use for a year, which can already help the Ye family relieve a quarter of the pressure.

But this is not difficult for the Mi family, even if there is several times more grain, it can be taken out, but Mi Zhu does not dare to get too close to the Ye family now, so he has made some reservations here.

Although 500,000 stones is a lot, this did not meet Ye Chen's expectations, but Mi Zhu said it, and the first cooperation can be regarded as a good start.

Next, the two sides exchanged some other matters and made some preliminary arrangements for cooperation. In the end, Ye Chen decided to open a few Ye family restaurants in Xuzhou, and opened a Ye family money village in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu promised to help the Ye family gather some big families and be lobbyists.

The negotiation went well, Ye Chen got a lot of business, at least Du Kang wine can bring hundreds of millions more income every year, and the workshop built in the county can also start to produce benefits.

Although Mi Zhu has a vicious vision, he knows what the Ye family must be preparing, maybe he wants to rebel, maybe he knows that the world is going to change, and he is ready to protect himself. But his caution made him lose a lot, so that he didn't dare to cooperate with the Ye family too deeply.

In any case, the cooperation with the Mi family has begun, and Mi Zhu will leave in two days, so Ye Chen selected a group of people to go to Xuzhou with Mi Zhu to make preliminary preparations, and half a month later, Ye Chen will organize the personnel who are going to Xuzhou and send them to start operating in Xuzhou.
