    Chapter 178

    As soon as Nicholas Tse discussed with Xie Wenjun, it was late at night and it was impossible not to stay overnight. A meeting with Changxing is inevitable.

    "Please also ask the head of Qin to instruct his followers not to reveal your identities, and try not to let the other party know your identities and origins." Xie Tingjun said softly to Qin Tian.

    "Why?" Qin Tian was very strange. Although they knew that Changxingxing was their opponent, was it necessary to avoid each other like this?

    Seeing that Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan were puzzled, Xie Wenjun on the side stepped forward and said: "The head of Qin doesn't know anything, although tea is something that Jiang people love, it is not something that is despised. The people of Jiang people live a hard life and can afford it. There are not many teas. We mainly do the business of the Jiang people and nobles, and we can sell them at a good price! Just like Shengshi is the largest official tea in the south, but the Sima family is the largest official tea in the north, and the Sima family almost monopolizes the tea in Mobei. Tea business. Although they have lost their position as official tea, over the years, they have had a good relationship with both the imperial court and the Jiang people nobility. None of our other firms can compare with them in this regard.”

    "So we wanted to have a good relationship with the Jiangren tribe before the 'Chun' tea, and attack the opponent by surprise!" Xie Tingjun continued: "This way, we can always take away some of the business from Changxingxing, but don't underestimate this. Part of it, Mobei is vast and vast, and there are many tribes. Just a part of it is a huge profit! But once they are noticed, they will probably rely on their advantages to hinder many things. Our trip to Mobei will not be It went as smoothly as expected!"

    Hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu on the side couldn't help but ask: "Since Changxingxing has such an advantage, how can Xie Gongzi be sure that he will succeed by surprise?"

    Nicholas Tse said with a smile: "Our Xie Shengkui's reputation is not bad at all compared to Changxingxing, and we have some relationship with the upper management of Jiang Ren, but we are not as good as them in terms of tea. Now that we have cooperated with Shengshi, we have made up for this. Defects, coupled with the fact that Changxingxing has relied on the status of official tea for so many years, it has exploited Jiang people a lot when doing business, and has many conflicts with the middle-level Jiang people. That's why we have this confidence. But this time, Changxingxing is also determined to continue. Occupying the dominant position in the tea business, we have worked hard in Mobei during this period of time. We clearly fight for the outcome, but we have an 80% chance of winning if we secretly fight!"

    Although Qin Tian was very unhappy to 'touch' and 'touch' so secretly, but the matter had come to an end, and there was no other way for the time being. The Xie family was far more familiar with Mobei's situation than they were, and could only follow their arrangements.

    But in his heart, Qin Tian secretly blamed himself for the hasty trip to Mobei. He thought that with the Xie family as a partner, he placed hope on them for the trip to Mobei. Such an unclear situation is a big violation of the market. avoid. During this period of time, I was used to relying on the business knowledge of my previous life, so that I should not be so careless.

    Qin Tian instructed the shopkeeper Liu and Fan Tian to 'receive' the entourage, and the Xie family made the same arrangement. After everything was settled, everyone entered the inn.

    Although Yonghe Town is small, it is one of the only roads leading to naturalization. So although there is only one inn, the layout of this inn is not small. looked at it the day before yesterday, but saw that there were more than a dozen wooden tables in the hall, and there were two floors upstairs, which should all be guest rooms.

    At this time, it was lunch time, and the dining table in the hall was full of people having dinner. Because many of them made a lot of noise, the guests who were eating all raised their heads and looked at them.

    One of them, a man in his fifties, wearing an azurite 'color' brocade robe, with a slightly fat body, put down his chopsticks and greeted Xie Wenjun who was walking at the front with a smile: "So it was Xie Wenjun. Boss, where are you going to make a fortune at this time?"

    Xie Wenjun also smiled and greeted the other party: "Second head of the family, it's a pleasure to meet. Xie Mou was going to the south to visit a brother of his family, and at the same time he picked up his nephews and nephews and 'daughters' to come up north to play." As he said that, he turned around and swiped, and put Qin Tian, ​​Zhuang Xinyan and the others into their sons and nephews.

    Nicholas Tse beside him told Qin Tian and the others that this was Sima Hao, the second brother of Changxinghang's boss Sima Jun, and the second-in-command of Changxinghang.

    Following Xie Wenjun's introduction, Sima Hao looked over here, Xie Tingjun seemed to know him well, Qin Tian greeted him warmly when he saw him, and then introduced Xie Wanjun, and finally, Nicholas Tse pointed at Zhuang Xinyan and Qin Tiandao: " This is a younger brother of mine, and this is his wife's house."

    In the next second, Qin Tian felt Sima Hao's inquiring gaze 'shooting' towards them like electricity.

    Sima Hao walked up to Zhuang Xinyan and greeted him warmly. Qin Tian said that his ears and tongues were inconvenient, and he was neglectful. Zhuang Xinyan cupped his hands towards him. Suddenly, Sima Hao expressed interest in Zhuang Xinyan's fingers, and deliberately took a closer look. Then he casually summoned a young man and introduced them to his nephew Sima Chang.

    Sima Chang was nearly thirty years old, with a 'yin' appearance and a proud expression. Wearing a crimson 'color' brocade robe with golden threads flowing on the robe. There are six bright eastern pearls inlaid on the belt, and there are two valuable 'jade' pendants hanging on it, with a gold crown on the head. He was rich and noble, as if he was afraid that others would not know that his family was rich.

    Nicholas Tse told Qin Tian again in a low voice, "This is the eldest son of Sima Jun, the boss of Changxingxing, and the future leader. If Changxingxing really falls into his hands, the day of its destruction is just around the corner."

    When speaking, he lowered his head slightly, his breath sprayed on Qin Tian's cheeks in bursts, Qin Tian frowned, looked back at him, and saw him looking forward, as if he didn't notice his rudeness. Qin Tian looked around again and saw that everyone was standing at the 'door' now, and it was indeed crowded, so he didn't say anything. Just moved a little towards Zhuang Xinyan's side.

    Nicholas Tse continued to look forward, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

    Here, Sima Chang greeted Xie Wenjun and others with a 'meaty' smile, his eyes swept across the crowd, but fell on the beautiful Xie Wanjun's face, his eyes rolled twice, showing great interest Come.

    On weekdays, Xie Wanjun always wears a hat when he goes out. But today, after riding in the carriage for a day, she finally saw Zhuang Xinyan. She didn't want to cover herself, and she deliberately dressed up a little before getting off the carriage. And Nicholas Tse was so busy dealing with Changxingxing that he didn't pay attention. Otherwise, the younger sister will not be so ostentatious.

    Feeling Sima Chang's fiery eyes, Xie Wanjun couldn't help regretting her rashness. She wanted to attract Zhuang Xinyan's attention, but Zhuang Xinyan's attention was all on Qin Tian, ​​and he didn't even look at her, but he didn't expect to meet a disciple like Sima Chang.

    Nicholas Tse, who was on the side, saw Sima Chang's malicious expression, and his heart was full of fire. He stepped forward and stopped in front of his sister. This made Sima Chang restrain himself a little.

    After the two sides introduced each other and greeted each other, Sima Hao took his nephew Sima Chang back to his original seat.

    Qin Tian followed and looked over, but saw that there were about five tables of people on Sima Hao's side, all of whom were busy servants, which was somewhat inconsistent with what Sima Hao said just now. Ping is not far from here, and these followers are as tired as they have driven for a long time.

    While Xie's family greeted the shopkeeper, Qin Tian quietly 'handed' on behalf of Fan Tian: "Later, you can find a way to inquire about the situation of Changxingxing. By the way, also inquire about the folk customs in Mobei." After speaking, she After a pause, he added: "Avoid Xie Jiadian when you inquire."

    "Why is this?" Fan Tianqi asked.

    "We only rely on the connections of the Xie family, not the Xie family. We Shengshi and Mobei do business, not the Xie family. We must remember this clearly!" Qin Tian said lightly.

    The Xie family is just their partner, no matter how far-reaching the Xie family's influence in Mobei is, in terms of tea business, they are the dominant ones! They have huge profits to share with the Xie family, and they didn't take advantage of them!

    Judging from the fact that the Xie family had previously concealed Changxingxing this time, they seemed to regard Shengshi as a subsidiary!

    Did something go wrong? How could she, Qin Tian, ​​be led by their noses!

    At this time, Zhuang Xinyan suddenly handed her a small book, which wrote: "Sima Hao has seen through the identity of our tea merchants!"

    "How come?" Qin Tian asked in shock.

    Zhuang Xinyan showed her his hand.

    Here, after Sima Hao pulled Sima Chang and sat down at the table, he immediately instructed a man with a mustache beside him, and said in a low voice, "Manager Luo, send someone to go to the naturalization immediately and tell the master, Xie Shengkui. I have already joined the Southern Prosperity Alliance, and let the big boss prepare early!"

    Shopkeeper Luo took the order and left, and Sima Chang, who was beside him, was very surprised: "How does uncle know about the Xie family and the Shengshi alliance?"

    Sima Hao glanced at Zhuang Xinyan who was not far away, and sneered: "What do I do! I am a tea merchant and grew up in tea leaves. They can hide from others, but they can never hide from me!" Then, he said again: "Did you notice the hand of the deaf-mute?"

    Sima Chang looked dazed. He just paid attention to Xie Wanjun, why would he look at a man's hand?

    Sima Hao sighed secretly when he saw him like this, and said displeasedly, "Achang, you are going to take over Changxingxing in the future. You need to be more careful when you are in trouble, otherwise, you will suffer a lot!"

    "Uncle is here to teach me again! If my uncle really has an opinion on my heir, why didn't he tell my father?" Sima Chang was angry. You must know that Sima Hao was only a concubine, and he could have gotten rid of it with just a little property. Because of his shrewdness and ability, he has won the trust of Sima Jun, and he has the status of the second head of the family today. But in the eyes of Sima Chang, this uncle who was born from a concubine was not taken seriously.

    Seeing that he was not taught, Sima Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and continued: "The deaf-mute's palm is calloused, obviously it is a pair of hands for making tea. But how can he dress like a tea-frying master. He is deaf and dumb, knows how to fry tea, and looks like that. Only the eldest son of the prosperous world, Zhuang Xinyan, can meet all the above conditions!"

    As a tea merchant, you will naturally pay attention to other tea merchants. In the past, Zhuang Xinyan and Qin Tian were in the limelight in front of the imperial car, and it was difficult for people not to know.

    "Then the 'girl' next to him was born as a maid, but she is Qin Tian, ​​the head of Qin's 'daughter' of Taifu Song's nephew!" Sima Chang was stunned.

    "It should be her! Xie Shengkui will not appear here with Shengshi's family for no reason, but also deliberately hide it from us, they must have formed an alliance and coveted our tea business!" Sima Hao snorted twice: "Our Sima family is in Mobei. The foundation of a hundred years, how can they be shaken at will, beyond their own capabilities!"
