Chapter 304: The business trip arranged by Hu Tao
The wind and snow at noon scattered wisps of petals. At this moment, Ye Li was walking on the courtyard road of Wangsheng Hall, holding Hu Walnut in his hand and writing a letter. The corners of his mouth twitched as he said:
"Forget about customizing coffins for export to other countries. After all, I made the plan. But why are you in such a hurry to expand your business to other countries? Even if Wangshengtang wants to open a branch, it will take a few years to prepare, get familiar with the local culture, and then make adjustments."
Looking at the simple and direct handwriting on the letter in his hand, Ye Li couldn't help but want to complain. Zhongli, who also received the letter and was forced to do a task by Hu Tao, could hear it clearly and immediately felt a sense of sympathy.
Ye Li had noticed Zhong Li's presence early on. He looked towards a certain place on the courtyard road and happened to meet the eyes of Zhongli who was walking on a detour. The helplessness of both of them could be seen at a glance.
"It seems that Senior Zhongli has also been assigned a mission by Hu Tao. Tell me, where are you going on this business trip? Maybe I can help you."
Although Ye Li complained about the task arranged by Hu Tao, he did not reject it. After all, the location of his business expansion this time was Mond, and his counterpart there was a church.
But it is impossible to cover most of the villages and towns like the Liyue area. It can only be said that the Wangsheng Hall monopolizes most areas and has no shortage of money. There are advantages and disadvantages, but they are not serious.
The Wangsheng Hall will also waive bills for groups in need, which can be said to be quite conscientious among its peers. This is also one of the reasons why the Wangsheng Hall has been able to stand firm for thousands of years.
Think about it, some competitors offer very high prices, but their work is not as efficient as that of the thousand-year-old store, Wangshengtang, so they will naturally be eliminated from the market. There are many factors involved.
"The place I'm going to is not far away. If I leave from the port, I can reach the port of Omos in Xumi in a few days. I know all the cultural customs of Xumi, so there's not much you can help me with."
Zhongli said, and then pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and when Yeli realized something was wrong and was about to run away, he spoke:
"By the way, friend Ye Li, I, Zhong, do need your help with something. When I get to Xumi, I will definitely have to deal with my peers there. If Mora hadn't assisted me at that time, it would have been difficult to expand my business."
"You can ask the hall master to reimburse you for this money, right? Could it be that Hu Tao won't give you Mora anymore?"
Ye Li's expression gradually became helpless, but he still wanted to fight for the right not to reimburse his own treasury. After all, no matter how bad Hu Tao was, he would never let his workers run to other places empty-handed and start from scratch.
"The hall master said that, apart from the Mora related to business expansion, the money for purchasing other materials must be paid by ourselves. But I think there are some things that can help our Wangsheng Hall expand its business. The hall master did not approve it, so I can only think of a way. I happened to meet you, so I wanted to ask if you would lend me Mora."
"Okay, I get it. I can lend you Mora. Just tell me how much you want. By the way, the amount of Mora you lend cannot exceed my financial limit."
Facing someone's serious and passionate gaze, Ye Li finally borrowed the money for the sake of the other person's father from another time and space. In fact, Mora was Zhongli's own, so there was no reason for him to pay back his own money. Ye Li also had no intention of asking the other party to pay it back.
However, Zhongli attaches great importance to the contract, so it may take a long time for him to get the money.
……
Inner world, small house in bamboo forest, next to stone table.
Gui Zhong looked at the projection image in front of the screen with a sigh. She felt deeply helpless when facing Zhongli from another time and space who asked her own son to borrow money. How ignorant was this guy's concept of money? Even she understood this behavior, but she did not agree with it very much.
"From a universal perspective, measuring the value of things with money has its advantages, but it will also be constrained by money. The actions I took were probably based on this principle. However, he and I are the same. Since we have signed the contract, Mora will naturally pay it back."
"Alas, if I were still alive in that time and space, I would not allow you to be so extravagant, Hanamora, and Kurumi would not have to expand the business of the entire Wangsheng Hall to other countries because of you."
"To be precise, this inspiration should have been proposed by Ye Li, otherwise Wangsheng Hall would not have taken this action."
Morax took a sip of tea calmly, expressing his understanding of Guizhong's attempt to stop him, but he really didn't like the feeling of being bound by money. But simply bartering without money was not good either, as it would have a great impact on the development of the governance of the country.
All I can say is that the self at that time and space chose a compromise method. Although doing so would cheat some people, it was harmless and he could pay off the borrowed debts just by rubbing his hands.
……
In the secondary time and space continent of Teyvat, Liyue, next to the bridge facing north towards the stone gate.
Ye Li stood in front of the carriage he had bought earlier, followed by a number of employees from the Wangsheng Hall who were preparing to leave Liyue and see the world.
"Yaoyao, brother has already said that we should be back before the Lantern Festival at the latest. You don't have to make so many dry biscuits for me to carry on the road."
"No, Brother Yeli, there are many dangers along the way. Although I have led a caravan before and am very familiar with these, we still need to prepare some food just in case."
"Then I will thank you on behalf of these brothers and sisters."
Ye Li squatted down gently, stretched out his hand to rub Yaoyao's head, which had loose hair because of the winter, and then looked sideways at the staff of Wangsheng Hall who were on a business trip together and said:
"These biscuits are a gift from little sister Yaoyao. Please don't let this child down."
"Mr. Ye Li, you are joking. Yaoyao is such a cute child. The dry biscuits she makes must be delicious. We won't waste them."
"Yes, such a sensible child is much better than my cousin. If I let her down, I will be restless."
The employees who came on the business trip together expressed their true feelings one after another. Their sincere and warm smiles were not fake at all. They really liked Yaoyao and were almost raising her as a daughter.
"Okay, it's winter, don't let us stand here, let's arrange for everyone to sit in the carriage first."
At this moment, Yan Fei, who came with Yao Yao, spoke, and Ye Li also asked everyone to go into the car to keep warm. Then he looked at the other party and said with a little surprise in his tone:
"I didn't expect that a busy lawyer like you, Yan Fei, would come to see me off. I am so lucky."
"Okay, okay, you are so lucky. In addition to sending you here, I have something else to entrust you with. Please deliver these two things to a man named Eula Lawrence."
Yan Fei knew that Ye Li was joking to ease the atmosphere, so she waved her hand cooperatively and then went straight to the point and handed the two things to Ye Li.
Looking at a package and a letter, Ye Li did not ask any questions. Knowing the relationship between Yan Fei and You La, he roughly guessed what was in the package, but the probability was small, so it might not be what Ye Li guessed.
"By the way, letters and packages cannot be opened. I'm sure you don't want to violate a verbal contract."
Seeing that Ye Li took the things without asking any questions, Yan Fei still reminded him with some concern. After all, if the things in the package were opened and seen, although it was not embarrassing, it was better not to be seen by others.
