Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Fan Sui froze for a moment, then readily agreed.

Neither King Qin nor Fan Sui worried whether the princes would agree.

Before the Battle of Changping, Qin State was indeed the most powerful country in the world. At that time, Qin State was the enemy of the whole world, and no country would be stupid enough to cooperate with Qin State.

But the situation is different now, Zhao State has defeated Qin State twice in a row, replacing Qin State as the strongest country in the world.

Therefore, the princes are of course willing to join forces with Qin to attack the most powerful Zhao in the world!Fan Sui left happily.

King Qin sat quietly in the palace alone, and suddenly asked, "Jihou?"

The figure of Ji Hou, the leader of Qin State's secret agents, immediately appeared beside King Qin: "The minister is here."

The King of Qin thought for a moment, and said: "You go to Handan immediately, and if possible, you can meet Zhao Kuo in person."

Ji Hou was slightly taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty, what you mean is..." King Qin said slowly, "You tell Zhao Kuo that as long as he is willing to come to Daqin to serve the widow, the widow can marry Princess Daqin to him, and Fan Sui's Xiangbang bit to him too.

If he can destroy the six eastern countries for the widow, then the widow can also promise that the Great Qin will not be destroyed for a day, and the wealth of Zhao Kuo's family will never end! "

Ji Hou's body shook violently, and the shock on his face could not dissipate for a long time.

This treatment is the legendary rest with the country!For the Qin State, this is absolutely unprecedented treatment, and it is basically certain that it is the treatment that no one will come after.

Your Majesty, why do you value Zhao Kuo so much?

After a while, Ji Hou asked: "Your Majesty, if Zhao Kuo doesn't know how to flatter you." King Qin let out a sigh of relief and said lightly, "Then, you should find a way to get rid of him.

Remember, at any cost!

Chapter 81 Zhao Qing, tell me your conditions

"Ma'am, there are very few people visiting the house these days."

This is what Zhao Kuo's concubine Qiu'er said to Zhao Kuo's wife Tian Wan.

Tian Wan shook her head and said, "This person is so snobbish.

Back then, when my husband was the Chief Sima, even if we moved to the manor outside the city, there was still an endless stream of visitors. Now" Qiu'er said again: "Ma'am, I also heard that many families that originally cooperated with our family are here. After this incident, they stopped cooperating with us, and life in the manor is very difficult now. "

Tian Wan didn't speak any more, just sighed.

The so-called wall falls and everyone pushes it, and the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. This is the truth.

Two words are enough to describe what happened to the Zhao family these days.

No matter in Handan, or in other parts of Zhao State, Zhao Mansion's industry has encountered great difficulties, and many partners have suspended or even directly terminated their cooperation with Zhao Mansion.

The prospect is worrisome.

Qiu'er was obviously a little angry: "They don't help us now, and we won't help them when my husband rises again in the future!"

Zhao Kuo's hearty laughter came: "Qiu'er is right!"

Zhao Kuo came over and patted Qiu'er's belly with a loving face: "Remember not to be too tired."

After Tian Wan gave birth to a son for Zhao Kuo, Qiu'er will also give birth to a second son for Zhao Kuo.

The appearance of Zhao Kuo undoubtedly reassured the two wives and concubines. Tian Wan couldn't help asking: "Husband, we have been moving to the manor for almost ten days, and there is still no movement from the King of Handan. Are you okay?"

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not clear, it mainly depends on when Yu Xin will be employed."

Tian Wan groaned, and said in surprise, "Hasn't Yu Xin been dismissed already?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "My silly madam, since your husband and I still have a chance to rise again after being deposed, how could Yu Xin, who is more trusted by the king, not have a chance?

It's just a matter of time. "

Zhao Kuo still has a word in his heart.

It is precisely because of knowing this truth that the last trace of affection for King Zhao in Zhao Kuo's heart completely disappeared, and he made up his mind to replace it.

If you treat me as a tool, don't blame me for letting you taste the anger of a tool.

At this moment, Xu Li appeared: "Master, Guo Zong is here."

Zhao Kuo raised his brows slightly and laughed: "It's really a bit slow to come."

A while later, in the manor hall, Zhao Kuo received Guo Zong.

Like every month before, Guo Zong still brought five big boxes.

"Qing Zhao, here is the proceeds from the sale of ginseng last month, and the deposit for customizing weapons next month. Those high-quality iron ores, Mr. Guo, have already been sent to the smelter of the manor."

The smile on Guo Zong's face was as pleasant as ever, and his attitude in front of Zhao Kuo was as humble as ever.

Zhao Kuo looked at Guo Zong, and suddenly said, "Don't you know that I'm in trouble, and you still dare to do business with me now?"

Guo Zong was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "I never thought that Zhao Qing would speak so quickly."

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "In business and business, this is actually part of the business, isn't it?"

Guo Zong's eyes lit up because of Zhao Kuo's words "in business, talk about business", and after a short hesitation, he said: "Since all the princes and princes have said so, then Guo has the courage to speak out."

Zhao Kuo said, "But it's okay to say."

Guo Zong said sternly: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Adding icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. Although Zhao Qing is in trouble now, it is inevitable that Zhao Qing will rise again with Zhao Qing's talent.

Now Guo only needs to maintain the previous transaction with Zhao Qing to get more love from Zhao Qing, why not do it? "

Zhao Kuo snorted, and looked at Guo Zong in surprise: "I thought you were going to hide it, but I didn't expect you to be straightforward enough."

Guo Zong laughed and said, "Zhao Qing is one of the smartest people in the world. If Guo Zong dares to tell lies in front of Zhao Qing, wouldn't he look too stupid?"

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly. Sure enough, there is no one worthy of fame. Guo Zong can become a generation of wealthy businessmen who are as rich as princes. How could his intelligence and wisdom be so poor?

If you are smart, many things will be easy to handle.

Zhao Kuo stared at Guo Zong, and said slowly: "Since Mr. Guo is a smart person, then if you have something to say, Zhao Kuo can have a good chat with Mr. Guo."

Guo Zong seemed to realize something, and said with a wry smile: "Zhao Qing, can we not talk?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "No."

Guo Zong was silent for a while, then let out a long breath, and said, "Zhao Qing, please speak."

Zhao Kuo nodded, and then said: "Actually, I have always been curious about how Mr. Guo, with such an ordinary family background, was able to become such a rich man in the world in just a few decades?

There must always be some noble people to help behind it, right? "

Guo Zong sighed, and said: "Zhao Qing is really not giving Guo a way out."

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Who made me a person with no way out?"

Guo Zong nodded, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "To tell the truth, Zhao Qing, there is indeed a noble person to help."

Zhao Kuo asked: "Where did you come from, is the Pingyuan Palace?"

Guo Zong shook his head and said, "The Pingyuan Palace is just a cover, the real nobleman comes from Handan Palace."

When Guo Zong said this, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Kuo's face.

Zhao Kuo's face was extremely calm.

Guo Zong smiled wryly again: "So Zhao Qing already knew about it."

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "This matter is not difficult to guess."

Guo Zong said: "Then why does Zhao Qing keep persecuting Guo?"

Zhao Kuo didn't speak, just picked up a slip from the table, and gestured to Guo Zong: "This is a report from an official of Zhongshan County of our Dazhao, and it shows that in recent years, people have used Guo's Chamber of Commerce In the name of transporting cloth to sell in the country of Yan, he quietly sent a large amount of iron weapons to the arsenal of the country of Yan in Wuyang City, the lower capital of the country of Yan, what explanation does Mr. Guo have for this?"

Guo Zong's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, he looked at the slips in his hand, and said after a long time: "Zhao Qing, this, this is a misunderstanding, Guo is loyal to Da Zhao." Zhao Kuo interrupted Guo Zong's words lightly : "As I said just now, we are talking about business today, aren't we?

The price of selling a weapon to Yan State is more than ten times the cost price of selling it to Da Zhao's military. With such a large profit, it is only natural that Mr. Guo would be tempted.

After all, although your wealth looks astonishing, it actually belongs to the king and has nothing to do with you. "

Zhao Kuo's words made Guo Zong's expression extremely disastrous, with an expression of panic and fear on his face.

Zhao Kuo looked at Guo Zong, and said calmly, "Okay, Mr. Guo, don't pretend to be in front of me anymore."

The horror on Guo Zong's face suddenly disappeared.

The wealthy businessman known as the world's richest businessman looked at Zhao Kuo and let out a long sigh.

"Zhao Qing, tell me your conditions."

Chapter 82 The Big Deal with Guo Zong

Looking at Guo Zong who suddenly became extremely calm, Zhao Kuo smiled.

Yes, how could the number one businessman in the world, who had been trusted by King Zhao for decades and made money silently for him for decades, be intimidated by Zhao Kuo's simple message?

To put it bluntly, Zhao Wang's trust in Guo Zong is probably more than that in Zhao Kuo, and it is much, much more!Therefore, regardless of the disparity in status between the two parties, Zhao Kuo has always regarded Guo Zong as an equal dialogue partner.

This is why Zhao Kuo has been emphasizing "business is business".

Zhao Kuo said unhurriedly: "Mr. Guo must have been mentally prepared for the next conversation."

Guo Zong sighed again, and said: "Guo is not only mentally prepared, but also knows that Zhao Qing's words must be something that the King is very unwilling to hear."

Zhao Kuo laughed: "But it can make Mr. Guo a lot of money, which really belongs to you, Mr. Guo.

Even, not just money. "

When Zhao Kuo said this, Guo Zong's eyes flickered obviously, and after a few seconds he said: "Please speak, Zhao Qing."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Well, let me first talk about what Mr. Guo needs to do in this transaction."

Guo Zong said: "Okay."

Zhao Kuo said: "First of all, all the materials and money you provide me every month must be doubled."

Guo Zong was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything, but continued to put on an appearance of listening attentively.

Zhao Kuo continued: "Secondly, if Mr. Guo hears any news that may be unfavorable to me in the future, he must tell me as soon as possible."

Someone is about to say, Guo Zong is a mere businessman, what information channels can he have?

This idea is actually a big mistake.

Guo Zong has been able to earn money for Zhao Wang for decades, and has been a purse for decades. If Guo Zong has no one to speak for him around Zhao Wang, who will believe it?

Zhao Kuo even suspected that Guo Zong had used money to manage many of Zhao Wang's cronies properly. Otherwise, with the astonishing amount of weapons Guo Zong secretly smuggled to Yan, how could it be possible to live in such a healthy way all the time? to today?

You must know that in any country and era in any country throughout the ages, smuggling weapons to an enemy country is a [-]% death penalty!Therefore, Guo Zong's intelligence channels, especially the control over Zhao Wang, are definitely much stronger than Zhao Kuo's.

Otherwise, Zhao Kuo didn't need to spend so much time talking to Guo Zong.

How much value is there, and how much energy is required. In popular words, you get what you pay for!Guo Zong fell silent after hearing Zhao Kuo's words.

Zhao Kuo was not in a hurry, just looked at Guo Zong quietly.

After a long time, Guo Zong said: "Are these two conditions Zhao Qing's only?"

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile: "Yes, just these two."

Although Guo Zong is useful, he is obviously not omnipotent.

Guo Zong said: "Zhao Qing just said that we are talking about business this time, so let Guo know what price Zhao Qing will pay this time?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Of course, first of all, the number of weapons I deliver to you every month has doubled from five to ten."

Guo Zong said: "This is very good, but Zhao Qing, this is not enough.

Zhao Qing may not know that the more such weapons there are, the lower their value will be. "

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Of course I know, so this is just an appetizer."

Guo Zong said: "Then the real main course is." Zhao Kuo said lightly: "The real main course is, I can introduce you to Qi Guo Xiangbang Housheng.

From now on, you can smuggle weapons to Qi officials. "

Guo Zong was surprised at first, then overjoyed.

Everyone has desires and wants to make money, especially for a businessman like Guo Zong.

But there is a very sad fact that although Guo Zong has a net worth of hundreds of millions, in fact all this wealth belongs to King Zhao, and Guo Zong is only the master in name.

That's why Guo Zong took a huge risk to smuggle weapons to Yan, because the smuggled money really belonged to Guo Zong himself.

But smuggling does not mean that you can do it if you want, without the approval of the government of Yan State or even King Yan, if this kind of thing is exposed every minute, Guo Zong will die without a place to bury him.

Guo Zong is just a businessman, how easy is it to befriend a king and make him nod?
