Chapter 138 Negotiation collapse
Jiang Yizhou smiled and took a sip of tea, put down the cup, looked into the other person's eyes and spoke slowly: "I heard that all the audit qualifications for the mining industry are in the hands of Lord Wang..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Huo Yuting couldn't help but sit up straight.
He also withdrew his hand from the bottle, clearly in a defensive posture.
"I don't know which Lord Wang Patriarch Jiang is talking about. We are just a few families working together to open a carbonite mine. It's not..."
Without waiting for the other party to finish, Jiang Yizhou gently waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Huo, you are being too polite to say this to me, right? We are now allies in a cooperative relationship. Besides, I just want to make some acquaintances. After all, as a nobody like me, I need a way and a backer to go further. Master Huo, don't you think this makes sense? Don't worry, you just need to introduce me to someone."
Jiang Yizhou spoke softly, pushing the bottle slightly towards the other person.
The meaning was very clear. He only needed to say a few words and the glass bottle would be his.
Huo Yuting was also thinking about it in his mind at this moment. He originally wanted to send a gift to Lord Wang this time.
Gold and silver must be given as gifts, but a mere few thousand taels is not enough.
So you have to get something that can catch people's eyes.
This glass vase is simple and elegant. It is a good decoration when placed on the table. Add some flowers to it. Wow...
Moreover, this glass bottle also came from Jiang Yizhou, so if I could say a word for her... it's not impossible.
However, he didn't know what Jiang Yizhou was up to. What if...
Jiang Yizhou saw that the other party was somewhat moved, but his brows were still furrowed, so he said: "Master Huo, don't worry, what I did is actually the same as you, it's also about the mine."
Huo Yuting blurted out: "What kind of mineral deposit did Master Jiang find? Could it be in Tianshui Farm?"
Jiang Yizhou shook his head and laughed, "Of course not. I just begged God to point out the source of water. I don't have the ability to ask God to make a mine appear underground for me."
But what he was thinking was, "You are so eager to explore the mineral deposits, are you planning to kill people and steal treasures and take over the magpie's nest again?"
Huo Yuting still had some doubts, "What mineral deposits did the Jiang family master refer to?..."
He deliberately prolonged the last syllable of his sentence, waiting for Jiang Yizhou to respond.
Jiang Yizhou: "Come, have some tea..."
Huo Yuting: “…”
Jiang Yizhou: "..."
One wanted to spy on more information, while the other just laughed it off and refused to say anything, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Huo Yuting felt that this woman must be up to something big. He really wanted the glass bottle, but he didn't want to be led by a woman.
He looked unhappy and snorted, "It seems that Master Jiang doesn't take my Huo family seriously. In this case, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy your glass bottle."
He expressed his honesty, but at the same time did not make his statement final.
It was like a trap set for Jiang Yizhou, just waiting for Jiang Yizhou to respond and giving her a chance to lower her posture.
But Jiang Yizhou had no intention of lowering his posture to such a small follower.
The Huo family does have connections in the imperial court, including a fifth-rank civil servant, and they do have a certain say in the local area.
Back then, he killed the Liao and Qi families, and then contacted the Chen and Zhou families. In fact, he did it under the instructions of the official from the Huo family.
Because the cake is so big, it is just right for him to form an alliance of interests with the Chen and Zhou families, and at the same time use it to climb up the relationship with Lord Wang, paving the way for his rise.
Therefore, now that he has been promoted to the fourth rank, he can be said to have a smooth career in the officialdom.
But the Huo family in Jiang'an County is just one of the branches, helping to deal with some miscellaneous matters at the carbonite mine, and is still a long way from the Huo family in Kyoto.
Huo Yuting deliberately made trouble, but Jiang Yizhou didn't fall for it, so the atmosphere became cold.
Huo Yuting didn't say anything, and Jiang Yizhou sat there and drank tea leisurely.
She knew that Huo Yuting must have something to ask her this time, and that he wanted to ask her a favor.
Just now, the other party's steps were disrupted because of the glass bottle, and the atmosphere became cold because the conversation was not going on.
For a moment, Huo Yuting was at a loss for words.
Jiang Yizhou only respects people who respect her. Huo Yuting came here with the intention of destroying her from the very beginning, although it seems that the other party's methods are very limited and have little impact on her.
But Jiang Yizhou would no longer give this middle-aged greasy man any face.
If you want to be tense, then be tense. This is her territory anyway, and she doesn't feel embarrassed.
I simply started practicing my mental method.
Huo Yuting was neither sitting nor standing at this moment. He wanted to speak - whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage...
Even when the tea was cold, he saw that the woman still looked calm and indifferent.
He snorted coldly to break the silence: "Master Jiang is really hot-tempered. I came here this time thinking I could give you a huge fortune. It seems that Master Jiang's attitude makes me feel that he doesn't care about it."
Jiang Yizhou then raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Look at what a huge fortune it is. Whether I am worthy of it or not, Master Huo may as well tell me."
Huo Yuting: "I heard that Master Jiang is trying to expand cement sales channels. I have some connections with Kyoto. I heard that they also have a demand for this. I can help Master Jiang connect with them."
Jiang Yizhou: "What kind of connection can Master Huo help me get? If it's ordinary, forget it. Anyway, my current production is relatively small. It has been filled with orders for building river embankments and roads in several counties. For the time being, there is not much surplus cement to sell."
Huo Yuting: "I heard that you also built a cement factory in Tianshui..."
Jiang Yizhou: "Let me tell you this, regarding cement, even if you introduced Lord Wang, the price is still too low..."
Huo Yuting was shocked and blurted out: "Master Jiang's appetite is too big. There is a saying that a tall tree attracts the wind. I advise Master Jiang to buy it while it is good, so as not to lose everything."
Jiang Yizhou: "Whether Master Huo is really kind enough to advise me, or relying on someone behind me to deliberately threaten me, I, Jiang Yizhou, will accept it. So, Master Huo, do you have anything else to say?"
Is this an order to evict us?!
I respect others when they respect me. The previous friendly and polite behavior was just for show. Now that the master of the Huo family has revealed his true intentions, Jiang Yizhou will naturally no longer have a good face.
No matter whether the opponent's attack is open or hidden, she will take it!
Huo Yuting left a sentence: "Humph, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Don't forget that Jiang An is not Tianqi here. Master Jiang, take care of yourself."
After he left Tianshui, he immediately asked someone to spread the news.
Jiang Yizhou was adamant and refused to hand over the cement formula.
Then he could only report it truthfully.
From top to bottom, to destroy a small farm and kill Jiang Yizhou is just like killing a bug!
Anyway, I have done this kind of thing a few years ago, so I am familiar with it.
