This was Gu Qing's first time dealing with officials of the Tang Dynasty.

It seems that it is not difficult to get along with him. The only discomfort is that there is a slightly artificial official power. He is obviously just a low-level official, and his behavior looks like a high-ranking official in the court.

The smaller the official, the bigger the score. This is true in ancient and modern times.

Manager Fei walked very steadily. After entering the fence, he walked slowly toward the entrance of the kiln. Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing, who were following him, did not dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, so they had to follow him slowly.

Walking slowly, Gu Qing smiled and simply stood there without moving. When they almost reached the entrance of the kiln, Gu Qing stepped forward.

When they walked behind Master Fei and the others, Master Fei was holding one hand behind his back and pointing at the mountains and rivers with the other hand. He pointed at the porcelain kiln. This place is too crude and there needs to be renovated. If there is an afterlife, this Master Fei will

The matter will probably be left to the foreman.

Gu Qing quietly pulled Hao Donglai aside and said, "Have you given Xiao Jing?"

Hao Donglai narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Of course I have to give it, otherwise why would he come all the way to the porcelain kiln?"

Gu Qing raised his chin towards the manager and said, "When will this guy finish talking? Go and talk to him. It's just a formality. I've collected the money. Do you still want to stay for dinner?"

Hao Donglai looked at him in surprise, with an ugly expression on his face: "Young Master, don't... don't make trouble, you must not joke in front of the boss..."

Gu Qing sneered: "An official who dares to accept bribes is not an official, but a businessman like you and me. You don't need to be too respectful to him."

Ignoring Hao Donglai's ugly expression, Gu Qing asked again: "How far did your conversation go after sending the bribe?"

Hao Donglai said: "He said he is willing to help us deliver a letter to Zhen Guanling of the Zhenguan Office in Chang'an, recommending the porcelain from our porcelain kiln to the court. If Zhen Guanling is willing to agree, he will naturally reply to Shuzhou, and then I will

Set off to Chang'an to get the joints opened..."

Gu Qing frowned as he heard this. He had flaws in terms of worldliness, but he had a lot of experience in building relationships. After all, he was a leader in his previous life. How to deal with businessmen, how to spend money well, how to treat guests and give gifts, and how to make a project go smoothly.

Through the establishment of the project, there is a lot of knowledge involved. It is obvious that Hao Donglai did not do this well, otherwise the manager would not have given such a frivolous reply that was equal to nonsense, but Hao Donglai regarded this reply as a treasure.

"How much are the items you gave me before and after, kabuki and so on?" Gu Qing asked this key sentence.

Hao Donglai thought for a while and said, "About forty years old."

Gu Qing asked again: "If our porcelain can be designated as tribute porcelain, how much can we earn every year?"

Hao Donglai likes this topic and gets excited when he mentions it: "That would be a lot of money. You can send tribute porcelain to the palace regardless of whether you give it away for free. Just the name 'Qingcheng Tribute Porcelain' has attracted all the officials of Jiannan Road."

I'm afraid businessmen and businessmen will flock to it and the supply will exceed demand, not to mention the intangible benefits such as reputation and official connections."

Gu Qing nodded, then sighed: "For such a great benefit, you gave the manager forty dollars? Don't forget, whether he can be designated as a tribute porcelain, the first step is still stuck in his hands, forty dollars

Guan, do you think he is begging for food?"

Hao Donglai was stunned for a moment, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He realized that he had made a huge mistake. This mistake would probably be difficult to correct. No wonder his expression was much colder than before when he and Chief Fei went into the mountain today. Hao Donglai always thought it was

He thought it was hard to walk on the mountain road. After being reminded by Gu Qing, he realized that this matter was fundamentally wrong.

For a deal that promises at least a thousand dollars of net profit every year and countless network resources, only 40 dollars are given away after opening the first link. This is really offending.

Hao Donglai can't be blamed for this. In the past, when he dealt with the government, he sent out bribes of about the same amount. Chief Fei was not an official, but just a low-ranking official. Because the matter of paying tribute to porcelain was not a trivial matter, he

Only then did he grit his teeth and raise the salary to the same level as the officials. Hao Donglai thought that the gift was enough.

But he forgot to discuss matters from the facts. Everyone is not stupid. You can roughly calculate the profit of this transaction with a little estimate. Naturally, Manager Fei also knows that you may make thousands or tens of thousands of dollars every year, and you can still compete with the Chang'an Palace.

The chamberlain got in touch with me, but he only gave me a mere forty coins. This was not a bribe, but a slap in the face.

Hao Donglai wiped his cold sweat, his big fat face was squeezed into a ball, and he cried and said: "What should we do, what should we do! It's terrible this time. No wonder Director Fei is quite cold to me today. If he can't get through this,

, don’t mention the matter of paying tribute to porcelain anymore.”

Gu Qing glanced at him. Bribery can become a humiliation if it is not handled properly. This case is a typical case.

"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. Shopkeeper Hao, go talk to Manager Fei again and say that the money and materials you sent before are just a way to attract others. If this happens, we will give him fifty guan every year. Remember,

Just fifty guan, no more, no less. What he can do for us in his position is only worth 50 guan."

Hao Donglai hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Gu Qing.

The young man's calm temperament seemed to have a unique charm, and Hao Donglai subconsciously developed trust. As early as when he broke the legs of the shop assistants without publicly breaking up with them, Hao Donglai no longer regarded him as an inexperienced person.

young man.

After secretly organizing his words, Hao Donglai put on a professional smile, ran to Manager Fei, turned him aside, and the two of them bowed slightly and whispered.

Not long after, Gu Qing saw that Hao Donglai's face had cleared up, and the fat on his face was rippling one after another when he smiled. Gu Qing knew that the matter was settled.

After sending Master Fei away, Hao Donglai ordered his entourage to tell Gu Qing that Chief Fei had just added a few words. He said that he would send a formal document to the Zhen's Office in Chang'an, and would also send samples of the porcelain kiln, and would also submit a formal document to the Zhen's Office.

Good colleagues should write several personal letters and ask their colleagues to help complete this matter in front of Zhen Guan Ling.

Gu Qing was satisfied.

These few sentences are the essential information and the attitude towards doing things. The effect of fifty dollars a year is fully demonstrated in these few sentences.

…………

After returning home, Gu Qing found that Zhang Huaiyu had not left yet, which surprised him. After the accident, he became even more worried.

Is this woman addicted to sleeping in his bed? This is too much.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Gu Qing asked rudely.

Zhang Huaiyu held his chin and looked at the stacked green mountains in the distance, and said leisurely: "I haven't decided where to go at the moment, so let's stay at your house for a few days."

If it were anyone else, Gu Qing would be too lazy to say too much and would just kick her out, but this person in front of him... Gu Qing can't beat her. When dealing with someone stronger than him, Gu Qing can only choose to endure it until one day he can beat her to the ground.

Be stronger again.

So Gu Qing earnestly advised: "There are so many bad people in the world waiting to be slaughtered, and so many good and kind people are being bullied. How can you be so unmotivated? Don't forget that you are a heroine. You represent justice. Justice cannot be absent.

You can’t be late either.”
