Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 746 What a profiteer!

After one stick of incense.

Gu Chan was dressed neatly and walked to the front yard lobby at a leisurely pace.

At this time, on the right side of the lobby, a middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, quietly sipping fragrant tea.

Seeing Gu Chan coming, he quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "I am Di Yi from Tianji Pavilion, and I pay my respects to Prince Chan. May your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"No need to be polite, just stand up." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

After saying that, she walked to the first seat and sat down. She took the fragrant tea brought by the maid and rinsed her mouth. Then she asked, "Have you had lunch?"

"Your Highness, I haven't had lunch yet." Di Yi said respectfully.

Gu Chan smiled when she heard this, and she was in a really good mood.

At least compared to Renzong's people, the Dizong people seemed to be much more polite, which naturally left her with a good impression.

Di Yi didn't want to dwell too much on the lunch issue, so he got to the point and said, "Your Majesty, this is what happened. Our clan leader specially sent me here today..."

"No hurry, no hurry, let's eat lunch first." Gu Chan interrupted.

"But, Your Majesty..."

"Someone, bring some good wine and food. I want to chat with him while we eat." Gu Chan ordered.

The servant waiting outside the door responded immediately, quickly went over to bring the piles of delicious dishes that had been prepared long ago and placed them on the table, and brought up a jar of Maozi wine and poured it, warmly entertaining Di Yi.

Di Yi suddenly felt extremely terrified and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am just an ordinary spy of the Di Sect. How can I have the honor to eat at the same table with you! Please don't scare me."

"That's right. Guests are welcome. Besides, you are so respectful to me, so I naturally can't treat you badly, right? Otherwise, your sect leader will say that I don't know how to entertain guests, treat you badly, and don't give him face. Then I can't clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River, right?" Gu Chan said with a strange smile.

"This..." Di Yi was speechless because of her choking.

In the end, he had no choice but to muster up his courage and walk to the table with Gu Chan and sit down.

After they sat down, Di Yi looked at the full glass of wine in front of him, lowered his head and sniffed it, and said, "Your Majesty, is this the premium Maozi wine brewed in your mansion?"

"Yes! Try it." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Di Yi swallowed his saliva, and finally he couldn't hold it in any longer and reached out to pick up the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Then he said with emotion, "It is really a good wine! It tastes sweet and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. No wonder this wine has become so hard to find recently."

"What? It's so hard to get a pot?" Gu Chan said with a frown.

She remembered that when she was discussing cooperation with Linjia Tianya Wine Shop, although they were using hunger marketing, the wine was also sold on the forum. When did she authorize it to be sold by the pot?

Di Yi was surprised and said, "Why, Your Majesty, don't you know? It's because this wine is so popular that it's not available at ordinary times. So Tianya Wine Shop changed to selling it by the jug so that everyone who pays can buy it."

"How much do they sell a pot for?" Gu Chan asked.

"Five taels of silver for a pot, it's not cheap." Di Yi said.

Gu Chan's face darkened instantly. You know, she and Lin Yan, the old man of the Lin family, had agreed to sell a jar of wine for fifteen taels of silver.

As a result, the old man secretly divided a jar of wine into several jugs to sell. In this way, the purchase price of the wine from her was only fifteen taels of silver per jar. However, after taking the wine from her, the amount of wine in one jar could fill at least five or six jugs.

If one jar can be turned into six pots, then one jar can be sold for fifty, six, or thirty taels of silver, and he only bought it for fifteen taels of silver, so he can make a profit in half just by reselling it.

The most infuriating thing is that Gu Chan couldn’t get any share of the money he earned.

"Damn! What a profiteer! I thought I was good at business, but I never thought there was someone more skillful than me. This is definitely a big profiteer. It really makes me angry."

After realizing this, Gu Chan couldn't help but curse in her heart.

She was so busy recently that she had no time to care about the cooperation with the Lin family in selling wine. Now she understood that if she didn't take action, the wine would probably be sold by the cup by the Lin family.

Originally, she wanted to adopt the strategy of low-price marketing and quickly seize the market, but the Lin family's move directly destroyed her strategy. How could she not be angry?
Di Yi saw that Gu Chan looked unwell, and asked hurriedly, "Prince, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about something else and was a little distracted. Come, let's eat and drink. I will make sure you have enough Maozi liquor today." Gu Chan came back to his senses.

Di Yi said gratefully, "Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Drink it!" Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

Di Yi nodded happily and immediately started eating and drinking with relish.

Gu Chan didn't pay much attention to him. She just ate her meal and thought about how to deal with the Lin family.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Gu Chan put down her bowl and chopsticks, staring at Di Yi who was eating and drinking contentedly and said, "Tell me! Why did your clan leader send you to find me?"

"It's like this, Your Highness. Our sect leader heard that you are a veterinarian, so he specially invited you to come and help check the health of the sect's guardian beast." Di Yi explained.

"Oh! It turns out that your Di Sect has a sect-guarding mysterious beast!" Gu Chan said in surprise.

She had never heard of this before, but when she heard about it suddenly, she found it quite new.

Di Yi said, "Your Highness, each of the three sects in Kyoto, Tiandi, Ren, has its own guardian beast. Didn't you join the Ren sect before? How come you don't know about this?"

"Do you think Sect Leader Feng Ji will trust me? Even though I am nominally the captain of the tenth team under Emperor Renzong, in reality, I have no status at all in Emperor Renzong's eyes, and she is always on guard against me!" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"I see! It seems that the prince is indeed not valued in Renzong. If it were in our Dizong, it would be different. Our leader has always liked talented people. Such people will be valued once they enter Dizong." Di Yi said sympathetically.

Gu Chan understood from the look in his eyes when he said this that this middle-aged man was indeed not lying.

One thing that can also be confirmed from the side is that the leader of the Di Sect is indeed respected by his subordinates, and it is possible that he is a really good person.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's hurry to Di Zong and don't keep your Zongzhu waiting for too long, or it would be rude to you."

"Yes, Your Highness, please come in!" Di Yi stood up and waved his hand to invite him.

Gu Chan nodded quietly.

Afterwards, the two of them left Prince Chan's Mansion together, riding in the Di Zong's unique black carriage and heading south towards Kyoto.
