Chapter 40: Emerald Tiger: My Master voted for the Communist Party! (Please read on!)
"I heard that Mr. Zhang Ji has a close relationship with Luo Wang?"
The Emerald Tiger asked knowingly.
Of course, he also knew that Zhang Ji might not tell the truth.
When the profit reaches 10%, some people are ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world; and when the profit reaches three times, they even dare to divide the body into pieces.
Never fear.
This is a merchant!
If the Emerald Tiger wants to gain higher status and power, he must find a more powerful backer.
Night is not enough!
And the snare is the best backer!
Although Jade Tiger is not yet qualified to cooperate with Luo Wang, he is qualified to cooperate with Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji is someone Luo Wang is willing to protect at all costs.
Therefore, he decided to indirectly cooperate with Luo Wang by cooperating with Zhang Ji!
And ever since the Emerald Tiger had the idea of cooperating with Zhang Ji, he never thought about retreating. As long as Luo Wang still protects Zhang Ji as Jing Salamander said that night, he will take this road to the dark side!
The only question is how Zhang Ji will answer him.
He naturally knew that what Zhang Ji said might be the truth or a lie, but he didn't care.
Whether he was lying or telling the truth, he felt that with Zhang Ji's wisdom, he could not see that what he wanted was Zhang Ji's willingness to cooperate, rather than just telling the truth and lying.
"Are you asking as the Emerald Tiger of the Night, or as the Emerald Tiger, the wealthy businessman of Nanyang?"
Zhang Ji naturally understood what Emerald Tiger meant, but he still needed to determine Emerald Tiger's position.
In fact, when Jade Tiger invited him to visit Lanxiu Villa, he roughly guessed that Jade Tiger wanted to cooperate with him, otherwise he would not be worth what Jade Tiger planned.
Although he hates the Emerald Tiger for being rich and unkind, he is doing so from the enemy's standpoint.
Since he chose Qin, everyone outside Qin will be his future enemy.
However, even from the enemy's standpoint, he had to admit that Emerald Tiger's personal ethics were lacking, but his business acumen was indeed good.
Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, even with Ji Wuye's support, he would not be able to expand his business from Nanyang to the entire South Korea and even the entire Sanjin area in a few months!
Moreover, this premise is that the Emerald Tiger has to hand over most of the money to Ye Mu as a fund every month!
As for losing to Han Fei later, it was Han Fei.
There is only one Han Fei in the ages. Is it embarrassing to lose to Han Fei?
Moreover, the defeat in that business war was more of a loss in a fight outside of business. The business war was just a concrete manifestation. It would be better to say that Ji Wuye lost that fight.
And the Emerald Tiger, as long as it is used well, will be a capable minister.
In later generations, in some countries, some reformed criminals became government consultants.
For example, some criminals are good at making counterfeit coins that look fake. No one knows how to forge better than them, and no one knows better than them how to distinguish the real from the fake, because only if they have studied how to make counterfeit can they understand the difference between the real and the fake.
The Emerald Tiger can also be such a person, it just depends on how it is used.
Listening to Zhang Ji's question, Jade Tiger's eyes flashed with light.
He knew that Zhang Ji understood what he meant and was obviously interested in cooperation.
"Oh, if Ye Mu is cooperating with Mr. Zhang Ji, why would he send an unknown person like me to negotiate with Mr. Zhang? Isn't that an insult to Mr. Zhang?"
The Emerald Tiger's smile was a little scary, but Zhang Ji heard something else.
"It doesn't matter, I am also a nobody, and we two nobodys happen to be of equal status."
Yan Lingji looked at the two guys with those evil smiles and resisted the urge to throw the warm wine in her hands at their faces.
After that, neither of them mentioned the cooperation again, they just talked about it.
"Everyone in the world thinks that merchants do not engage in production and earn money for nothing. They think that doing business is a despicable profession. That is because they have not experienced business and have not led their caravans to travel around the world at the risk of being robbed and killed by bandits!
"Zhang Ji slammed the table.
This sentence showed Zhang Ji's attitude towards merchants and also opened up the Jade Tiger's chat box.
Jade Tiger poured out his bitter words to Zhang Ji, revealing all the blame he had taken for Ji Wuye over the years. Of course, no one knows how many of the blame really belonged to Ji Wuye, and Zhang Ji didn't care about it either.
In his early years, the Emerald Tiger also traveled around with the caravan and saw a lot of strange and strange things. In recent years, he has also been working for Ji Wuye, so he has seen a lot.
Zhang Ji also traveled around the seven countries in the years before he became a disciple of Lu Goujian, and still had a messy knowledge reserve from his previous life. However, he had a very speculative chat with Jade Tiger. Especially some business ideas and methods were all from Jade.
What Hu never expected, and Zhang Ji's attitude toward business and merchants was not as disdainful as that of a nobleman, was that Jade Tiger suddenly felt that he and Zhang Ji were late to meet each other.
It wasn't until the sun set that Zhang Ji held Yan Lingji's hand and got into the carriage and drove towards his mansion.
Looking at the sandalwood box inlaid with gold rim in his hand, Zhang Ji couldn't help feeling that having a rich friend was indeed a good thing.
Opening this exquisite sandalwood box, there are six identical cyan jade wine bottles inside, as well as a piece of silk wrapped in rawhide.
"It seems that you are really having a good chat. A meeting gift is worth two hundred gold."
Yan Lingji played with the sapphire dragon rock bottle in her hand, with a playful smile on her face, as if she was saying that she didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually a profiteer at heart.
Although she couldn't understand most of the conversation between Zhang Ji and Jade Tiger, some of the business methods proposed by Zhang Ji sounded a bit unclear, and the expression of shock and admiration on Jade Tiger's face was also
It proves the ingenuity and cunningness of Zhang Ji's methods.
Zhang Ji was noncommittal, but he couldn't help but feel emotional.
He never thought that he would cooperate with Jade Tiger and have such a good conversation, but it seems good to have a wealthy friend.
Because the real gift that the Emerald Tiger gave him was not this mere set of sapphire dragon bottles, but the piece of silk wrapped in fireproof and waterproof rawhide.
That is a contract.
Limestone mines in the Funiu Mountain area of Nanyang!
The main use of limestone during this period was as building materials and moisture-proof materials. It was definitely a good asset worth thousands of dollars that would make a steady profit!
The sincerity of Jade Tiger is really sufficient.
Fortunately, he also prepared a barely reciprocal meeting gift for the Emerald Tiger.

ps: Recently many people are talking about the relationship between the protagonist and Zhang Cang and Zhang Er, I will refute the rumor!!!
Zhang Yi, Zhang Cang and Zhang Er are not related!!!
There is no mention of Zhang Yi, Zhang Cang, and Zhang Er being related in the "Historical Records" at all. In the "Historical Records", Zhang Cang and Zhang Er are mentioned in the same frame, and it is impossible not to mention them if they are uncles, nephews, or even distant relatives (just like in "Three Kingdoms"
Introduction to Xun Yu and Xun You), it is also written in the Historical Records that Zhang Cang’s father, Zhang Fengzhang, was five feet tall. If he is a descendant of Zhang Yi, it is impossible not to mention it!!!
Moreover, Zhang Cang was born more than 50 years after Zhang Yi’s death, how could he be his grandson!!!
Zhang Yi’s native place is Anyi, Zhang Cang’s hometown is Yangwu, and Zhang Er’s hometown is Daliang!!!
This is all nonsense in a certain year. Some marketing account used a Zhang family tree with the same name from the Qing Dynasty to make nonsense. Then someone changed the entry in Baidu Encyclopedia based on this. Finally, the rumor was refuted and the Baidu Encyclopedia changed it back.
, but other marketing accounts still continue to bullshit like this!!!
Chapter completed!
