Chapter 969 Sell It to Me

He Lingchuan tapped his fingers on the table twice: "This 'other person' is really kind."

Ding Zuodong lowered his head and dared not speak.

Others believed that he had set a trap, waiting for He Lingchuan to make a wrong move.

Is it the Yashan Chamber of Commerce who wants to plot against them, or...?

He Lingchuan snorted: "It's no wonder that Bailie is going downhill."

In this second round, the father and son of the Lu family still used a combination of punches, trying to interrupt his capital chain in the shortest time.

In fact, He Lingchuan's response is also very simple:

As long as the Yangshan Islands are profitable and on the right track, the delusion of the father and son of the Lu family can only be shattered.

The business world is like a battlefield, it is easy to dodge an open gun, but it is difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. It just happens to use these tedious, trivial, and ubiquitous traps and mines to train his own internal affairs team.

Both internal affairs and foreign armies need to train soldiers.

Otherwise, the territory will expand in the future, and the population will increase, and it will be more difficult to govern.

Ding Zuodong, Lei Ni and others are smart, bright and enthusiastic, but they have never been in a high position and have never participated in high-end business wars. Only after being polished by practice and lessons from reality, they have the opportunity to stand out, become the backbone of the team, and become extraordinary in the eyes of others.

Otherwise, they will always be the stewards of second-rate families and small self-employed individuals in supply warehouses.

How many people are talented but not appreciated, and all they lack is an opportunity.

He Lingchuan certainly knows that the internal affairs team needs to be expanded, because the development of Yangshan Islands will surely usher in an explosive period, because he will definitely collect hundreds of columns in the future, and even...

Therefore, he needs talents from all aspects. For those who cannot be recruited for the time being, just select and train them yourself.

When the conversation in the hall came to an end, a egret flew in the sky and landed on the wall of He Lingchuan's courtyard, cackle:

"There is a visiting card! There is a visiting card!"

This bird is snow-white, with no trace of color except for its sharp beak and long legs. It walks on the beach with great elegance, but it loses its skill when it opens its mouth, and its voice is as rough and unpleasant as a crow.

Lingguang quickly jumped over to receive the message.

After the evil spirit faded away, birds began to settle in the Yangshan Islands, especially egrets, which were the most numerous. They stood densely on the trees, just like a winter snowfall.

He Lingchuan appointed egrets as messengers between the islands, and the speed of communication was very fast.

The gold-stamped visiting card was very exquisite, with light-colored cloud patterns on the surface.

He opened it and took a look, and his face became solemn.

Qiu Hu asked, "Lord?"

"Bejia people are coming." He Lingchuan put down the visiting card, "I've been waiting for them for a long time, and they are finally here!"

...

The visitors from Bejia came to the island to deliver the visiting card seriously, so the first stop was Soding Island.

He Lingchuan rushed to Soding Island, and his destination was not the supply depot, but the hot spring building in the back.

This hot spring building was one of the first buildings built on the island. It is currently small in scale, with ten springs and only 27 or 28 guest rooms.

It will of course be expanded later. Due to price issues, the occupancy rate of the hot spring building is not high now.

Guests of Bejia are certainly qualified to stay here.

Nuanxiangzhai is the largest teahouse in the hot spring house, with three floors, each floor is large, and each floor can accommodate more than 20 tables.

But there are fewer tea tables on the first floor, because a space has been cleared under the storytelling platform, and a huge backgammon board is placed.

It occupies at least 13 or 14 square meters, and the mountains and rivers are beautifully engraved, and adults can stand directly on it.

The backgammon chess pieces are called "horses" and look like bowling pins. This oversized chessboard is naturally equipped with oversized chess pieces, and the height of the black horse and the white horse is at the same level as the waist.

Backgammon is popular in both Bejia and Mouguo. It is unknown where this chess technique was passed on. From nobles to ordinary people, everyone likes to use it to pass the time.

He Lingchuan made many friends in Bejia, and backgammon was indispensable when he gathered to play.

Its rules are simple but flexible and changeable, and brains and luck are indispensable.

The hot spring house will provide guests with various entertainments, and playing chess is of course one of them.

However, this huge and domineering backgammon chessboard is the first time for the guests staying in the hot spring hotel. Anyone who comes to take a look will be amazed.

He Lingchuan comes from a world that likes to build giant projects. He specially asked craftsmen to create such an eye-catching scene in Nuanxiangzhai, hoping to leave a deep impression on the guests.

But the giant chessboard placed on the ground floor is not just a gimmick, it is really useful.

Those who want to play chess must step onto the chessboard and move the chess pieces themselves.

This step is called "entering the game".

Chess players must really walk in.

And the chessboard and chess pieces are so big that guests on the second and third floors can see the game downstairs clearly.

This makes it convenient for everyone to watch masters play chess.

It was still early, and there were six or seven people in the hall, but He Lingchuan could see at a glance that the guests by the window had different temperaments.

There were three guests, but only one was sitting and drinking tea, and the other two stood behind him.

The hierarchy was clear.

He Lingchuan stepped over the threshold and entered. The other party was still sipping tea without even looking up.

Is this the real host? He Lingchuan was not annoyed. He sat down and said with a smile: "What a rare guest. Should I call you Mr. Yu or Captain Yu?"

The visiting card he just received was signed by "Yu Zecheng", Captain Yunqi of Beijia Black Tiger Army.

This man is about thirty years old, with a long face, flying eyebrows, broad shoulders, strong body, and dark skin. He Lingchuan can see at a glance that this man has been on the battlefield for a long time.

That kind of iron-blooded taste can only be cultivated on the battlefield.

Yu Zecheng then looked up at He Lingchuan, slightly startled, as if he also felt the military atmosphere from him:

"Anyone can do that. Have you ever fought in a war?"

"right."

"Where? When?"

Wang Fubao, who was standing behind He Lingchuan, frowned secretly. As soon as he came up, he asked the host, "How can there be such a guest?"

Take the spotlight from the guests.

However, the opponent was Bega's general. The word "Bejia" is almost a golden sign in places outside Mou State, and it is the capital of going sideways.

The maid from Nuanxiangzhai also brought hot tea. He Lingchuan took it casually, opened the lid and skimmed off the foam on it, while answering casually:

"Home, a few years ago."

His attitude was gentle but not flattering, and he did not have the fear of facing Bega Shangguo. He seemed to be just chatting with others.

Yu Zecheng asked again: "Where is your hometown?"

"Fu Country."

Yu Zecheng seemed a little surprised: "Can Fu country have a person like you?"

"People from Fu country love to do business wherever they go." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "Didn't you just come ashore from my business inn?"

Yu Zecheng frowned, knowing that he had nodded at him. This was his island master's territory.

"I heard that you just bought the Yangshan Islands."

"Yes, this is a treasure trove of Feng Shui. I didn't want to leave when I passed by it. I just decided to take over and run it."

Yu Zecheng asked again: "How much did it cost?"

"Mr. Yu must have 'heard' it too."

"The price of 80,000 taels?" When the Bega people inquired about the price at Blade Port, they also found it incredible. They thought the rumors were wrong, "Bailie must have been very embarrassed at the time."

He Lingchuan took a sip of tea: "Who says it's not the case?"

At that time, the Lu family and his son were in a hurry to raise money and food to support Mou State, and He Lingchuan took advantage of it; now, even if the price doubled, they probably wouldn't be able to buy it.

"I also think this place is very good." Yu Zecheng said seriously, "How about the island owner sells it to me?"

"Oh?" This move was beyond He Lingchuan's expectation, and he laughed out loud the next second, "Mr. Yu is really good at joking!"

"I rarely joke." Yu Zecheng continued, "How much does the island owner of this archipelago need to pay to give up his love? Three hundred thousand taels?"

"Most of the islands here are barren, which means the scenery is good and the seafood is fresh." He Lingchuan asked with a smile, "Why did Mr. Yu buy these islands?"

"Same as you."

He Lingchuan shook his head: "How is that possible? I want to live here for a long time."

His goal in buying the Yangshan Islands is something that no one can fully understand. If Yu’s purpose is similar to his, it’s probably due to impure motives, right?

"Fifty thousand taels?"

"Mr. Yu is funny." He Lingchuan asked the maid to refill Yu Zecheng's tea, "You went out to fight and you brought so much money with you?"

Bega's Black Tiger Army is an elite army active on the front line of the battle against Mou. The person named Yu had to take some risks by going around to the rear of Mou State.

"Money is with you to eliminate disasters." Yu Zecheng continued to bid, "One million taels."

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "If I keep refusing to nod, will Mr. Yu get five million taels?"

Yu Zecheng's eyes flashed: "Five million taels can buy ten islands like this. Why doesn't the owner of He Island refuse to sell?"

He Lingchuan met his eyes: "Five million taels can buy ten of these islands. Why does Mr. Yu have to buy Yangshan? As far as I know, there are several islands to the east, and the area is no larger than Yangshan." Shan is smaller and the condition is no worse than Yangshan. Their owner must be happy to sell it at this price."

Yu Zecheng looked at him steadily, his eyes like blades.

He Lingchuan looked calm and did not shy away.

After a while, Yu Zecheng suddenly changed his topic: "How is the hot spring here?"

"It's very good." He Lingchuan suddenly became energetic. He didn't say any polite words about the distinguished guests coming from far away and the beautiful walls. He only said that the seawater hot springs here are particularly comfortable and can relieve fatigue after a long soak. Even long-distance travelers praised it. Absolutely.

"Then I want to try it later." Yu Zecheng seemed to feel relaxed and happy, and even had a smile on his face, and the next sentence was, "Is there a giant spider demon living on your islands?"

Wang Fubao on the side thought to himself:

coming.

These Bega people finally got to the point.

But the turn is a bit sharp, and it's easy for people to get sidetracked and miss the conversation.

Yu Zecheng always observed He Lingchuan's expression and would not miss any subtle changes.

He Lingchuan was obviously stunned, and then asked: "Pig demon?"

After saying that, he stretched out the index and middle fingers of both hands and shook them, simulating four legs.

"It's not a pig." Yu Zecheng had to explain, "Spider."

He Lingchuan let out a long "Oh": "Spider demon——"

"——Yes, there are spider monsters, and they live on one of the islands."

Yu Zecheng was a little surprised when the answer was given so simply. He was originally prepared for He Lingchuan to deny it, and he also thought of countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not cover up or lie, so he admitted it so openly.
