"What do you think?"
He Zhen felt that Boss Xu's suggestion was good. After all, the Xu family was an old brand. By borrowing the Xu family's name, a lot of trouble could be saved in the early stages, and there would be no need to look for a store. However, as to the specific details, one still had to consult the gods.
Gu Xingzhao asked her in return, "What do you think?"
He Zhen was slightly stunned. Was the god asking what he meant?
Realizing this, she was a little nervous and excited. She boldly spoke out her thoughts, "I feel that although the people in Beijing now know about fireworks, it is a new thing after all, and they will still distrust us to some extent. If we can borrow the power of the Xu family, we can save a lot of trouble and we don't have to worry about other businesses coveting us."
"We are leveraging the power of the Xu family, and the Xu family also wants to leverage our fireworks to turn things around in Beijing. As long as we keep the fireworks formula secret, this is a win-win strategy."
Gu Xingzhao chuckled twice. He Zhen's opinion made her sure that she had not chosen the wrong person.
"Just do as you think. Since I have handed the matter over to you, everything will be done according to your wishes. You will keep 30% of the profits for yourself, 40% for the store business, and the remaining 30% will be sent to the empty house every seven days. No banknotes are accepted. They will all be exchanged for silver and gold. Precious treasures and paintings are also acceptable."
Although He Zhen had some doubts in his mind, he did not ask and just agreed to the matter.
Gu Xingzhao put the anti-wolf stun pen he bought on the table and said, "This is for you."
He Zhen held the palm-sized cylindrical pen carefully in her hand and pondered over it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was.
Gu Xingzhao: "If you encounter danger, open the lid of this thing, press the black switch on it and it will discharge electricity to protect yourself."
Hearing the word "discharge", He Zhen almost threw the thing in her hand away. She was so scared that she immediately clenched her hand tightly, her mouth trembling, "Discharge?"
I guess I heard it right. The god was talking about the lightning in the sky.
Although she was in the capital, she had heard her husband talk about the Lu family god sending lightning to kill people.
Seeing that she was frightened, Gu Xingzhao coughed softly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just an electric shock, at most you will faint, you won't die."
He Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one died, it was good.
Gu Xingzhao: "As long as you don't shock them for too long."
He Zhen: "."
The thing in my hand suddenly felt hot.
Seeing He Zhen's reaction, Gu Xingzhao wanted to laugh, "How about you practice with this table first?"
It is said that it is a crime to possess a treasure. She was also worried that someone would do something bad to He Zhen. After all, He Zhen was not on the Lu family tree. If something happened, she might not be able to know it in the first time. It was always better to let He Zhen take something to protect herself.
After all, it was the good intention of the gods, and it was also for her own safety, so He Zhen did not refuse. She did as Gu Xingzhao said, pulled open the lid, grabbed the bottom with her hand, and gently pressed the raised black button.
The next moment, a crackling sound was heard, and the two sharp points on the top of the cylinder emitted a blue-purple light, like lightning.
She immediately pointed the glowing tip at the table, touched it, and quickly pulled it back. Even though it was just a table, her heart was beating fast.
This feeling is completely different from setting off fireworks.
Gu Xingzhao was very satisfied. "That's it. Practice a few more times. Remember not to touch the glowing area. Use it whenever you are in danger. I'll back you up. Don't worry about electrocuting others."
He Zhen's tense mood finally eased a lot. The words of the gods always made her feel safe.
At this time, in the palace, the spy was reporting to the Emperor of Jin about what happened last night. The Xu family's fireworks caused a sensation in the city, and the people thought it was a manifestation of the gods.
Later, the eunuch who had just been to the Xu family to deliver a plaque also reported the matter, "Your Majesty, the Xu family said that the fireworks were obtained by chance, and I think they want to monopolize them."
The Emperor of Jin sneered. It seemed that anyone who had any connection with the Lu family was regarded as a god in the eyes of these people.
Judging from the time, Luo You should have caught up with the Lu family, and soon, the news of the exile team being killed should also be reported back to the capital.
"Keep an eye on the Xu family. I want to see what these things can come up with without the Lu family."
God?
These are nothing but some sleight of hand that cannot be shown in public. It is ridiculous that Prince Su wants to use these rumors to deal with me.
That afternoon, Gu Xingzhao took the jade porcelain bottle out and when he arrived at the antique shop, he found that only the clerk he had met that day was there.
Gu Xingzhao came here quite often, and with Xu Shisan's hospitality, almost everyone in the Xu family store knew her.
She came today not only to pawn the jade porcelain bottle, but also to ask Xu Shisan about his ancestors. When she didn't see him, she immediately asked the clerk, "Is your boss Xu not here?"
It was the first time that the clerk heard Gu Xingzhao take the initiative to look for the boss. He immediately became alert, took out his cell phone, and quickly sent a message to the boss: Boss, it's time to go to work!
Xu Shisan, who was playing games with his girlfriend in the milk tea shop at the end of the street, glanced at the pop-up message and swiped his finger upwards to delete it.
Can going to work be more important than playing games?
Shop Assistant: Miss Gu is here! She wants to order you!
Seeing the words "Miss Gu", Xu Shisan jumped up from his chair as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened, and he stopped playing games. He didn't care about calling his sister, and rushed directly to his store!
The clerk here didn't wait for the boss's reply, thinking that the boss was probably busy playing games and couldn't care about these things.
"Miss Gu, how about you take out the things and I'll show them to you?"
Gu Xingzhao nodded, "Alright."
She had just taken the jade porcelain bottle out of the box and placed it on the table when Xu Shisan's nasty voice rang out from behind her, "Sister, are you short of money again?"
Xu Shisan was seen leaning half of his body against the door with his arms crossed. He was breathing softly and looking at Gu Xingzhao with his head tilted. When he saw her looking at him, he blinked and gave her a coquettish look.
Gu Xingzhao almost went blind.
Xu Shisan's speed shocked the clerk. Miss Gu was pretty, but she had said before that she had a daughter. Besides, there were many beautiful women who came to the store. Why did the young boss have a special liking for her?
He really wanted to ask for advice, maybe he could save twenty years of hard work.
At this time, Xu Shisan had calmed down and walked into the store. This time, he didn't even look at the jade porcelain bottle. He directly said to Gu Xingzhao, "Tell me, how much do you want?"
You have to pay it in the end anyway, so why not skip the bargaining process?
The clerk, who was carrying a kettle to change the water, staggered and almost fell when he heard this.
This is so useless. Little boss, what's the difference between this and an ATM machine?
Gu Xingzhao was stunned for a moment, "You will give me as much as I want?"
"Of course." Xu Shisan raised his eyebrows, signaling Gu Xingzhao to speak directly. It didn't matter how much he wanted, since he could afford it anyway.
At this moment, Gu Xingzhao began to think that Xu Shisan was a little handsome. Not only was he not greasy, but he also had a little fragrance. The smell of money was so tempting. Here is
one more chapter first. There will be another one, which will be sent one or two hours later.
My dears, go to bed first and read it when you wake up.
