After Sun Yixie said this, Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi both agreed and turned around and went out.
Although Murong Ji and Liu Ming didn't know what "that" Sun Yixie was talking about, judging from his tone, it should be something to punish Xue and Tang.
Murong Ji also knows this method. The general process is a negotiation between two gangsters. In order to put pressure on the other party, one of them will find any reason to let his subordinates stand in front of the other party. If the party being put under pressure is willing to go down this step, they will watch it for a while, and then when the younger brothers are about to be unable to hold on, they will say two sentences similar to "Forget it, forget it, I have something to say." It's easy to say, don't embarrass the little ones." The person who put the pressure also followed up with a few nonsense words like "Brother, you are so kind-hearted", and then asked the younger brothers to stop self-mutilation and carry them down for treatment.
After this back-and-forth, the previous conflicts between the two parties have been "resolved", and both parties are getting along in terms of face, and they can talk about things next.
As for the younger guys who are responsible for playing the role of the bitter meat trick, don’t feel aggrieved by them. These people have been promised in advance that if you play yourself dead or disabled, you will definitely not be treated badly in terms of housing expenses. If you survive in the end and can still continue to work for the boss, you will be able to take over as soon as you recover from your injury.
In fact, since ancient times, this kind of task of "stepping in for the boss" has been an excellent way for many incompetent minions to rise to the top.
To sum up, this kind of bad habit based on mixed culture and common to green forests and rivers and lakes can be regarded as a "win-win" from a certain perspective. Each party gets what it needs, and there is no I feel like I'm at a loss.
Of course, at the moment, Murong Ji just speculated that Sun Yixie was going to play this trick with him. Is that actually true?
Tatatata
After a while, outside the house There was another sound of footsteps in the corridor.
The three people in the room heard the sound and looked at the door. As a result, it was not Xue and Tang who came, but three waiters.
"Master, the pot is here." The leading waiter stopped outside the door and reported.
"Serve it on the table." Sun Yixie replied casually.
"Hey." The waiter responded, stepped into the room, and then went straight to the table. He put his hand on the edge of the tablecloth and said, "You three, please leave first." Half a step."
When Sun Yixie heard this, he lifted his hands off the table and moved his body back a little. Murong Ji and Liu Ming saw this, although they hesitated, they quickly They all learn from the same thing.
After their bodies and hands left the table, the waiter flicked his wrist and pulled away the tablecloth covering the table.
Because he was very fast, after the tablecloth was pulled away, the teacups and teapots on the table were still intact, and not even a drop of the tea in the cup was spilled.
This skill is not difficult to say. Most ordinary people can do it with practice, but generally speaking, few people will use it in such situations.Because if you fail and spill the tea in front of the distinguished guests, the consequences will be quite serious.
But the ordinary waiter in front of him took off the tablecloth very confidently and calmly, which made Murong Ji and Liu Ming have to take a high look at the West Lake Seating.
"Please watch your steps." After taking away the tablecloth, the waiter said again and leaned under the table.
I don’t know what mechanism he used. Anyway, three seconds later, a "squeak" was heard, and a plate-sized table board in the middle of the round table lowered.
After doing this, the waiter turned back and asked the other two people outside the house to bring in a special copper cooking pot that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
Obviously, the base of this pot just fits into the recess of the tabletop.
After the guys set up the pot, Murong Ji and Liu Ming just saw clearly that the cooking pot on the table had already contained a large amount of base ingredients, ingredients, and an extra large, medium rare tuna head.
Immediately afterwards, these guys went to get a large copper pot filled with soup stock, and while lighting the base of the cooking pot, they poured the hot soup into the pot.
When the fire is lit below and the hot soup is poured above, the delicious aroma of the ingredients instantly spreads in the room.
Although Murong Ji and Liu Ming were both familiar with it, when they smelled the aroma, they couldn't help but dilate their nostrils and salivate in their mouths.
"You two, this pot is simmering first, and we will eat other dishes later. When we have a drink, the flavor of the ingredients in the pot will come out." As Sun Yixie spoke, he added Several waiters brought several plates of exquisite cold dishes and warm drinks.
The dishes in the cold dishes are all fish. Except for the sashimi spread on ice and showing off the skill of the knife, Murong Ji and the others have never heard of or seen the cooking methods and types of other fish.
Of course, this is normal. These dishes are based on Sun Yixie’s wonderful creativity as a time traveler and the cooking skills of Yuan Fangzhi, who has studied the secret recipes of Taihe Gong. Nature is unique in the world.
If you want to suppress people like Murong Ji, you have to use these "strange" things. After all, "expensive" things are no longer strange to him.
To make a long story short, the food and drinks were served, and the three of them started eating and drinking.
Everyone who has been at a wine table knows that when talking about things at a wine table, we can’t talk without having a few drinks first
And after they had a few drinks, Xue Tui He and Tang Weizhi also came back.
"Master, we are here." Xue Tui said when he walked to the door.
Sun Yixie, Murong Ji and Liu Ming all looked towards Xue Tui and saw that Mr. Xue and Tang Weizhi were both standing at the door with their heads down. There was only one change compared to the time: they each had a big gold chain on their necks.
"Brother Sun, this is" Murong Ji didn't quite understand, how could he sing this.
Sun Yixie immediately explained his doubts, "MurongBrother, can’t you see that I asked them to pay the money to plead guilty?”
“Negative” Murong Ji was just about to repeat these four words when he realized something.
He then secretly thought in his heart, "This kid can't tell the difference between Jin and Jing, right?"
"Brother Murong, don't be polite to me. You were right just now. These servants just can't do it without giving them a lesson." " Sun Yixie picked up a bite of food and pointed at the two people at the door with the tip of his chopsticks, "As long as you don't say anything today, I will let them continue to bear the burden. No one can persuade them."
"Who the hell will come to persuade you?" Murong Ji cursed in his heart at that time, "Why don't you just wear a gold chain? You will wear it until you die and no one will care about you! Your surname is Sun, not only Illiterate, he is still a fool."
However, after calming down a little, Murong Ji thought again, "No, if he is really a fool, how could he be so big in business and make a fortune in the world? Despite his reputation, let’s just say that his West Lake Restaurant, from the decoration to the staff and menu, is definitely not something that a stupid boss can handle. I think he is just pretending to be stupid. ”
Thinking of this, Murong Ji also understood the actions of Xue Tui and Tang Weizhi. To put it bluntly, Sun Yixie was reluctant to use these two people to make trouble, so he pretended to be stupid. , false and true, wanting to make the opponent confused.
After taking a breath, Murong Ji took a sip of wine and chuckled, "Forget it, it's all over, let them pick it." Well, isn’t your neck sore from wearing it?”
He is also someone who has seen big battles, and he doesn’t want to waste too much time on this kind of thing with the other party, so he exposed this article lightly. Go over.
"Brother Murong, let's forget it." Unexpectedly, Sun Yixie did not give the order immediately, but tilted his head and asked Murong Ji again with a wink.
Murong Ji knew what this meant, so he sighed and added feebly, "Oh, of course it's true. And now that I think about it, even if they were wrong, there was something wrong with me. I was so angry at that time. The higher ups smashed Brother Sun's store and signboard, I have to compensate you. "
"Hey Brother Murong, what are you talking about?" Sun Yixie said, "My people were wrong first, how can I let you spend more money?"
Murong Ji listened. At this point, I thought to myself, "Are you fucking done with it? It's almost done. I'm tired of saying this hypocritical thing any more." ”
However, on the surface, Mr. Murong still held back and added, “It should, it should”
In this way, after some hypocritical prevarication, Xue Tui There is no need to wear the big gold chain with Tang Weizhi anymore. After the two of them left, Murong Ji promised to send someone 200 taels of silver to compensate Sun Yixie on a certain day.
Perhaps you know something about us. In this book, those who judge the purchasing power of silver taels will say at this time, is two hundred taels too much?
But in fact, if you calculate carefully, in addition to the money for renovating the first and second floors of the restaurant and the clerk In addition to the cost of our soup and medicine, this West Lake Restaurant also lost all its business from the first day of May to today.Well, and considering that this place won't be able to reopen in a short time, Brother Sun still gave in for 200 taels.
"Brother Murong, let me tell you something from my heart." After talking about the restaurant's compensation, Sun Yixie was ready to move to the next topic, "I think we still have a lot in common. Look, You and I are of the same age, we both share the family's worries and come out to seek wealth. However, I have some background in Hangzhou, and Brother Murong, you are new here, and I was not here when you first came, so it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings and frictions. In fact, it’s good if the misunderstanding is resolved.”
When Murong Ji heard this, he was going to say that I ruined his fish market and other businesses.
And Sun. Yi Xie was as expected by the other party, and then said, "I will put my words here today. As long as Brother Murong is willing to be friends with me in the future, we can make money together. In the past few days, my fish market and other businesses have Whatever happened, I can treat it as if it never happened."
As soon as this statement came out, it seemed a bit obvious.
Murong Ji took advantage of the action of drinking, and thought in his heart: "Hey, let's make money together, look at this, this guy wants to cooperate with me, you are not a fool, you are very smart, you know how to get along with me." The big tree of our Murong family is far wiser than being our enemy."
"Oh," Murong Ji said when he put down his wine glass, "I don't know, what Brother Sun said is friendship. , what does it mean?"
Sun Yixie also took a sip of wine and said, "Well, I know that Brother Murong wants to open Huanyi Pavilion to Hangzhou, but there are many dignitaries here, and the forces are complicated. , there are a lot of trivial matters that you can't settle for the time being." He said, holding out three fingers, "I don't think it's better than this. Let me help Brother Murong choose a Feng Shui treasure place, and solve all the obstacles. I guarantee that you can do it within three months. Open."
"So what are the conditions for Brother Sun to help me like this?" Murong Ji also followed Brother Sun's thoughts and asked this key question.
"What kind of conditions can we ask to prevent our good brothers from being loyal?" Sun Yixie blurted out a false sentence at first, and then he changed the subject and continued, "But Brother Ruo Murong After the Huanyi Pavilion is built, if you can take over all the related business outlets around the casino, such as food sellers, wine sellers, pawnshops, etc., I can be considered as a little bit of you, brother, right? "
When Murong Ji heard this, a stone fell in his heart.
If Sun Yixie behaved too smart, or too stupid and crazy today, Murong Ji would find it difficult, but now, in Murong Ji's opinion, Brother Sun's performance is "just right to be beaten by me" The level of "hold it less".
Murong Ji knew very well that although the profits from "other businesses around the casino" were not as good as the casino itself, they were still considerable. As a businessman and local gangster, Sun Yixie would covet this profit, so naturally It's reasonable and understandable.
If Murong Ji refused to give up even a cent to his death, then Sun Yixie would continue to write about the fish market and other businesses that were impacted by him.Zhang, what awaits them is an all-out war.
Even if Murong Ji wins this battle, it is unlikely that he will completely eradicate the Sun family, which has deep roots in Hangzhou. After he opens Huanyi Pavilion, there will be no peace.
But if Murong Ji gives up this benefit and "befriends" Sun Yixie, then Sun Yixie can not only help him clear many obstacles in the start-up stage, but also the surrounding area of Huanyi Pavilion will be restored in the future. Having the Sun family as a protective umbrella for a long time can help them block a lot of things.
This is a win-win situation.
After Murong Ji figured this out, he looked at Liu Ming beside him; as a bodyguard and counselor, Liu Ming could figure this out.
The two of them spent a few seconds exchanging glances and nodding to each other. Murong Ji's confidence was in place, so he immediately laughed and raised his glass to Sun Yixie. He said, "Hahahaha, brother Sun is a cheerful person, so I will make you my friend. I agree to what you said."
"Okay, then let's make it a deal." So did Sun Yixie. With a smile on his face, he took the opportunity to drink with the other party.
After that, the three of them chatted happily, eating plates of exquisite food and jugs of wine, and unknowingly they continued chatting until midnight.
After drinking and eating, Murong Ji, who had already put down his guard, was already 80% drunk, and even Liu Ming was half drunk.
The two said goodbye to Sun Yixie, then drove back to the house with the twenty elite thugs downstairs who had been hungry for four hours.
On the way, Murong Ji even said to Liu Ming, "You see, young master, I am smart and can do the work of a meal, so I took this Hangzhou Sun Yixie as a dog."
And Liu Ming also followed the young master's wishes and flattered him a few times.
The two chatted without saying a word, and before they knew it, they had returned to the manor where Murong Ji lived.
This manor was bought in full by Murong Ji directly after he came to Hangzhou. According to current terms, it is considered a suburb, but because the "city center" was not very large at that time, it was not possible to come here. Not too far.
When Liu Ming helped the drunken Murong Ji out of the car, one of their thugs had already walked to the gate to call the door.
But the strange thing is that the thug just reached out and patted the door of the manor, and it was pushed open.
"Hey" the thug also felt strange. Why was the door ajar in the middle of the night?
While he was wondering, the door in front of him slowly opened. , the courtyard behind the door was dark and silent, and the servants who were supposed to be on duty nearby were nowhere to be found.
"What's going on?" Liu Ming had already supported Murong Ji and walked closer.
When the thug heard this, he immediately turned around and replied, "Mr. Liu, something is wrong. The gate is not closed, there is no one in the courtyard, and there is not even a light left for the young master."
p>At this moment, an ominous premonition rose rapidly in Liu Ming's heart, causing most of his drunkenness to dissipate.
"You guys" next second, Liu Ming hurriedly said to several thugs around him who were holding torches and lanterns, "Quickly go in and take a look to see if there are anyone alive in the village."
