1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1958
Huo Fei quickly determined that the identity of this "Master Tian" was not adulterated, and immediately felt that his previous expenses were worth more than half. He used to spend money on joints in the officialdom, but he had never come into contact with someone like him. high-level officials.However, he did not forget the reason why he spent a lot of money to arrange the meeting with "Master Tian", so Dang even took the time to inquire about the relevant news.

"I don't know if Mr. Tian is going to Danzhou for business or private trip this time. How long will he stay? If there is enough time, I would like to arrange some interesting itineraries for Mr. Tian during his stay in Danzhou." Now that I have a little knowledge of Mr. Tian's hobbies One or two, Huo Fei followed suit, and by the way, tested whether the other party would disclose his itinerary.

Zhang Qianzhi, who claims to be Tian Zheng, knew it when he heard the string song, and immediately understood the other party's intention to bring the topic in this direction, and responded with a smile: "No wonder Brother Guan told me before that Mr. Huo has a forthright nature and is a hospitable person. , I can feel it. This time I came to Danzhou mainly for business, as for how long I will stay, it is hard to say, it depends on the requirements of the errand at hand."

Unwillingly, Huo Fei continued to ask tentatively: "The villain has lived in Danzhou for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the affairs in the land here. I wonder if Mr. Tian needs the help of the villain during his stay in Danzhou?"

"Oh? That's just right. It's my first time to work in Danzhou, and I'm not very familiar with the local conditions. If Mr. Huo can give me some advice, maybe I can take a break from his busy schedule and spend some time in Danzhou for fun! "Since Huo Fei has already spoken so bluntly, Zhang Qianzhi just took advantage of the other party's initiative to achieve his own goal.

When Huo Fei heard the other party's statement, he felt like a mouse fell into a rice bowl. He quickly patted his chest to express that he knew everything, and would try his best to help the adults complete the business.Huo Fei's words are not all bragging, as long as there are things that can be done with money on the ground in Danzhou, he can basically undertake them. If the other party wants to inquire about someone or something, that is his forte .

The role played by Zhang Qianzhi is a diplomat who came to Danzhou from Sanya to arrange a visit for the King of Korea. The issues that this character cares about are naturally the objects that the King of Korea will visit locally.He immediately asked Huo Fei, what are the local places worth visiting, especially academies, poetry clubs, studios and other institutions with strong cultural atmosphere.

If Xue was present, he would definitely be grateful to hear Zhang Qianzhi's question, because he really wanted to know the answer to this question.Most outsiders only know that Danzhou has a well-developed cultural and educational industry, but few people can figure out which cultural and educational institutions have stronger comprehensive strength or are more representative in the industry.Xue Zheng didn't want to put Baoquan on Mr. Huo's side, but he still couldn't find a way to do it. He had been struggling with this matter for several days.

This is not a difficult question for Huo Fei. Although he does not work in the cultural and educational industry, he stays in Danzhou all the year round and pays special attention to various news. When it came to the professional field, Huo Fei was still able to respond fluently. He introduced several well-known local academies in Danzhou like a few treasures, and gave some suggestions from his own perspective.

Zhang Qianzhi listened to Huo Fei's opinion very seriously. He had to admit that this guy had a quick mind, a clear mind, and a well-organized speech.Even if such a brainy person does not engage in brokerage business, he can also succeed in other businesses that require brains.

Broker business is of course not prohibited by Haihan's law, but what Huo Fei did this time has touched the restricted area of ​​the government. The more enthusiastic and active he is in front of Zhang Qianzhi, the more he is convincing himself guilt.Zhang Qianzhi listened to his analysis clearly and logically, and didn't interrupt him, just let him play with a smile.

Guan Anping, who was sitting next to him, was sweating secretly all the time. Of course, he knew the purpose of Huo Fei's current trick Zhang Qianzhi.The longer this conversation lasted, the more likely it was for Huo Fei to notice something strange, and he was also a little worried about whether a young man like Zhang Qianzhi could cope with the current situation.Only after Huo Fei was convicted can he get a lighter punishment for his own crime, so he was very worried that Zhang Qianzhi would lift it up high and lower it gently, letting go of Huo Fei, who was the root cause of his downfall.

Huo Fei talked dryly, and finally came to an end. He didn't care about drinking water, so he looked at Zhang Qianzhi eagerly, hoping that he would give some positive comments on his performance.

Zhang Qianzhi put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a leisurely manner: "It seems that it is really the right time to come to see Mr. Huo today. I think Mr. Huo's understanding of the local cultural and educational industry is no less than that of the officials in charge of the yamen. It's... Director Guan, don't you think so?"

"That's right, that's what I think too." Guan Anping responded hastily.It sounded like he was speaking for Huo Fei, but only he knew that every time he said a word, he was pushing Huo Fei another step into the pit.

Zhang Qianzhi went on to say: "Mr. Huo, I have an errand here. There will be a foreign distinguished guest visiting Danzhou later, and perhaps one or two native-born locals will be needed as tour guides. The main task is to accompany this distinguished guest on a tour. Various cultural and educational institutions in Danzhou may also need to provide some suggestions for choosing places to visit and determining the itinerary during the period. I wonder if Mr. Huo is interested in participating?"

Huo Fei thought to himself that this is sleepiness meeting the pillow, and the development direction is more ideal than he expected, so he immediately agreed.He originally wanted to inquire about the itinerary of the North Koreans. If possible, he would spend money to buy Tian Zheng so that he could get first-hand information, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to invite him to be a part-time tour guide instead. With such a wonderful arrangement, Huo Fei couldn't find any reason to reject the other party.

"Master Tian, ​​I wonder when this errand will start? Who is this foreign distinguished guest, do you need some preparations from the villain?" Huo Fei continued to ask for details while the iron was hot.

At this time, Zhang Qianzhi did not directly respond to his question, but began to imply him in circles: "Usually, for such errands where we can get in touch with VIPs, we generally do not easily appoint civilians for security reasons, unless it is It is possible to win such an opportunity if you have a skill or can make a special contribution.”

Huo Fei usually dealt with officials and figures, and he knew that there was something in Zhang Qianzhi's words, implying that he had to collect benefits in order to do things, and Dang even offered to offer conditions: "It's rare to have the opportunity to participate in this kind of work for me. The villain is willing to donate [-] yuan to show his support for the state's honor."

Huo Fei thought that this price should be justified, and he didn't dare to set it too low or too high, lest he would offend the other party or be taken for a fool.Moreover, he only talked about donations and did not mention the recipient, which in turn hinted at the other party that the money could be sent directly to the other party without having to be accounted for.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qianzhi just smiled when he heard the conditions reported by him, and said noncommittally: "Although I have just arrived in Danzhou, I have also heard that many people are looking for the foreign affairs management office to inquire about this foreign distinguished guest. Itinerary. In such a situation, it must be that many big bosses in Danzhou hope to let this distinguished guest visit their own industries! To be honest with Mr. Huo, where will this distinguished guest visit at that time, maybe that is It's a matter of my words. As long as I am willing to let go, there should be many people who are willing to donate money in exchange for this qualification. Does Mr. Huo think this is the case?"

Huo Fei was startled when he heard this, and unconsciously glanced at Guan Anping next to him, wondering if Guan Anping had already colluded with Mr. The lion opened his mouth wide.

Guan Anping, however, sat beside him like an old monk in meditation, silent. At this moment, everything he said would easily be misunderstood by Huo Fei, so it was better to shut up and let Zhang Qianzhi play freely.However, he also really admired Zhang Qianzhi's ingenious rhetoric, Huo Fei probably did not expect the real intention of the other party.

Guan Anping's expectations were not bad. Seeing that he was silent, Huo Fei could only confirm that the rumors of the black market's visit to the son of Joseon had more or less spread to the ears of Mr. Tian, ​​but he didn't seem to be aware of it. He just took it for granted that the local wealthy businessmen and gentry wanted to get acquainted with the nobles through some special means—just like what Huo Fei is doing now.Moreover, in the opinion of Mr. Tian, ​​he can also take this opportunity to make a fortune, and the bottom line of the amount is probably still higher than Huo Fei's previous quotation.

Huo Fei couldn't help but smiled wryly, thinking that he still thought things too simply, how could this Haihan official be so kind, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility when they met for the first time, after all, he still wanted money Only when you are in place can you do things.Although the price I offered earlier was not a small amount, but the other party was a high-ranking Haihan official who had seen the world in Sanya, so maybe he really wouldn't take this little money seriously.

Having said that, Huo Fei had previously bought Guan Anping, and he had already given away [-] twice. It seems a bit unreasonable if the conditions offered to the high-ranking officials from Sanya are not as good as Guan Anping's.And he really didn't know how much information Guan Anping had shared with this Mr. Tian. If he had already revealed his earlier bid, it would be hell if the other party was willing to pay five thousand.

Forget it, Huo Fei knew in his heart that this hurdle would definitely not be overturned without some blood. Fortunately, he still had Xue Zheng as the financial backer, and he had to find a way to earn back the extra expenses here.Among other things, being able to directly catch up with the diplomats from Sanya to get first-hand news, and possibly even participate in arranging the itinerary of the son of the Joseon Dynasty, has already exceeded Huo Fei's original transaction promise to Xue Zheng. Let him add money.

Huo Fei gritted his teeth, and said respectfully: "If I can exclusively undertake this job, I will donate [-] yuan voluntarily to subsidize the government's various expenses during this period."

"Exclusive contract? Mr. Huo's calculations are very precise! If this is Mr. Huo's sincerity, then I don't think we need to discuss this matter any further." Zhang Qianzhi still refused to let go, but it was obviously for Huo Fei This offer is not satisfactory.

Huo Fei thought in his heart that he might be tortured by blood this time, but if he retreated immediately, the other party might leave immediately, and the thread that was so hard to connect would be broken, and even The benefits given to Guan Anping before were also given away for nothing, so it was really nothing.He can only advance at the moment, not retreat. Even if he knows that the other party is going to rob him, he can only bite the bullet and accept it.

At this time, Guan Anping spoke kind words for Huo Fei: "Brother Tian, ​​Mr. Huo's initiative to relieve the country's worries is also a good intention, there must be sincerity, why don't you give him another chance."

Huo Fei also gritted his teeth and said: "The villain is stupid, please tell Mr. Tian clearly. If the villain can afford the amount, then I will definitely not disappoint you!"

Zhang Qianzhi nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you can afford this amount, I will take on this job exclusively as you said!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Qianzhi stretched out his right hand, gestured with five fingers, and then waited for Huo Fei's call respond.

fifty thousand!Although Huo Fei was mentally prepared, his heart still trembled when he saw Zhang Qianzhi's gesture.If Xue Zheng hadn't agreed to the one hundred thousand that he boldly quoted before, he would have stood up and said goodbye immediately.

Huo Fei didn't express his opinion immediately, and he was also considering whether Xue Zheng would reject him if he raised the offer by [-] more.If you agree to the other party's asking price here, and Xue Zheng refuses to add more money later, then you who only received a deposit of [-] will have to pay a large sum abruptly. This kind of loss-making business is tens of millions. Can't do it.

Zhang Qianzhi didn't even open his mouth to urge him, of course he did it on purpose to quote such a high price.Similar to the itinerary of domestic high-ranking officials or foreign dignitaries visiting a certain place, it is true that occasionally there will be local dignitaries and wealthy gentry who try to take up errands such as escorts by voluntarily pledging donations, so as to make a name for themselves in front of the big shots. There is a sense of presence, but generally it will not cost too much for it. Even if the senior officials of the Executive Committee travel, it is unlikely that they will be fired to a height of tens of thousands.

At this time, the quotations on the market for purchasing relevant information have not even reached [-] yuan. If someone is willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy this qualification at this time, it is obviously not because they want to buy information and sell it for profit. The price difference is so simple, it is likely to be based on other calculations.

At this time, the waiter who came to ask if the food was to be served rescued Huo Fei who was in trouble. He quickly changed the topic to ease the current atmosphere: "Since it's time for dinner, why don't we eat first. Today I asked Mr. Tian to come here If you are relaxing, how about eating, drinking and having fun first, and talk about the business later?"
