Fifty-four: put into effect
The banquet on the boat on the Qu Yuan pond is over and the banquet is over and over.
The people at the banquet have different identities. In addition to communicating and practicing, they also talk about material allocation and transactions.
Before the banquet was over, people went out one after another. Li Buzhuo looked at the sky and was about to be dusk, so he said goodbye to Bai Yi and left.
When he got off the boat and returned to the shore on the black-sailed boat, Li Buzhuo looked back at the boat with deep lights under the dim sky. The people at the banquet were obviously of a certain organization.
Li Buzhuo knew that Bai Yi invited him to the banquet to give him the qualification to contact the organization, but at present he was not enough to face these people, nor did he get in touch with the core of the organization.
The group of people had casual conversations involving fuel and minerals, and they were often worth tens of thousands of dollars. After Li Buzhuo left the boat building, he handed over the ten gold coins he brought to Bai Yi's intimate, and his hands were tight again.
As night was approaching, Li Buzhuo returned to Lixi Lane, and on the way, he thought that as long as he could get a little way from the merchants and wealthy people at today's banquet, he would not have to worry about the money needed for Qi Refining and Practicing.
After returning home, Sanjin saw Li Buzhuo and said, "I have 16 invitations today, all of which are invited to the banquet. As you said, I turned down fifteen of them."
"Where is the remaining seal?" Li Buzhuo asked.
"Here."
Sanjin handed over the invitation with carp patterns on the surface. When Li Buzhuo saw that it was sent by someone from Li Wuyu, he put it on the table.
“No need to pay attention.”
Sanjin collected the invitation and asked tentatively: "There are some other invitations, don't you look at them and think about it?"
"What?" Li Buzhuo was puzzled.
Sanjin turned around and went to the drawer to pick out a few invitations and handed them to Li Buzhuo.
"These."
Li Buzhuo looked at it and found that there were several invitations sent by female students whom he recognized but did not know each other. Other invitations were the Liu family in Changlefang, the Yan family in Huajianfang, etc. Although I had never heard of it, the expression of Sanjin was mostly related to women.
“What is this to do.”
"You should almost get married. How many invitations are sent by someone from the lady himself."
"What do you think?" Li Buzhuo said hilariously.
Sanjin picked up the invitations from female students in the county school and said to Li Buzhuo: "Have you seen all these?" He said, pointing to one of them, "This sister Yao looks a little different, but she is a good person. When she lived in the county school, she often talked to me."
Another invitation was picked up: "You have never seen this Miss Yan Li, but among these sisters, the one with the best looks. Today I took the bus and brought my entourage to deliver the stickers. I met her when she lifted the curtain. Her face was whiter and tenderer than an egg. There was a teardrop mole under her right eye, which looked so beautiful."
"I'm worried." Li Buzhuo took the invitation and returned to the bedroom.
Light up the oil lamp, lift the cushion and take out two extraordinary scriptures. Li Buzhuo thought that he had memorized them last night and kept these two things. It would be better to send them back to Jiang Taichuan or Bai Yi to avoid being missed.
At this time, the sound of a knocker knocking came from the main courtyard.
"Who?" A complaint came from Sanjin's bedroom. During the day, the little girl was so tired that she dealt with many people.
Li Buzhuo took the curious sutra method.
After opening the gate of the main courtyard, the young man standing in front of the steps was Guo Pu, who had expressed his desire to serve Li Buzhuo.
"Come here at this time, there should be no one else in the mansion." Guo Pu bowed to Li Buzhuo.
"So it's Brother Guo." Li Buzhuo recalled the conversation when Longmen was named a few days ago and welcomed Guo Pu into the house.
After sitting down, Guo Pu smiled and said, "I had already expected that Brother Li will definitely win the lead!"
Li Buzhuo muttered in his heart that he had not yet finished the county exam, so how dare this person be sure of it, and asked, "Where is Brother Guo's high school?"
Guo Pu smiled slightly and sighed lonelyly: "When I passed the Legal Golden Seal and the Holy Hall, I spent most of my energy, and then I only answered half of the scriptures, and my mind was disordered."
This subtext is a failure, and Li Buzhuo said: "There is still a chance next year."
Guo Pu shook his head: "I don't have the qualifications to refine Qi. No matter how I take the exam, it will be the result. There is no need to comfort me. Brother Li remember what I said when Longmen was named?"
"Remember."
After two days of busyness, Li Buzhuo almost forgot about Guo Pu. At this time, I remembered that it was the time when he was short of people. Although Guo Pu failed, since he was able to get into Yong'an County, his ability should be quite good.
Guo Pu put away his loneliness and smiled and said, "Brother Li is thinking about it. You only bring three kilograms per person in Youzhou. From now on, you must concentrate on practicing diligently, so you should not distract too much of your attention to other things. If Brother Li likes me, I am willing to serve you."
Li Buzhuo was determined to operate a business, farm, etc., and he would never have to contact some shameful aspects. It would be better not to come forward in person. As Guo Pu said, he did not have extra energy to devote himself.
But Guo Pu's trust came in a bit inexplicable way. Li Buzhuo also didn't know much about him and said, "Why might you say it?"
Guo Pu said: "The banquet in Quyuanchi Boat you went to today was attended by several wealthy merchants. As long as you can take advantage of one of them, your recent shortage of money will be solved."
"Are you following me?" Li Buzhuo frowned. Guo Pu not only knew that he was short of money, but also knew his whereabouts today.
"Don't get me wrong." Guo Pu shook his head, "I said that day I wanted to serve you. I visited the mansion around noon this day, and I saw you and Bai You go out, and then I followed you to Qu Yuan Pool. Later, I waited outside Qu Yuan Pool for a long time and recognized the celebrities who were entering and leaving the boat."
"You have the intention."
Guo Pu continued: "Since I knew I had no qualifications to refine Qi and no longer studied hard, I spent my energy on other ways out. Today, I was waiting outside Quyuan Pool. The President Shen of the Hedong Chamber of Commerce I met happened to be one of the few people I was focusing on inquiry."
Li Buzhuo recalled: "He traded some goods with people at the banquet, but it was a ship sale. I didn't have any capital, so how could I get this route?"
Guo Pu smiled and said, "You are from the ranks of the industry and naturally don't understand these businesses. President Shen talks about big deals, but his business is not just a few businesses. You have attended a banquet with President Shen tonight. Even if you just meet him, the rest of the business may not know your relationship."
"It's too early to get along with President Shen, so you can start with others. Now President Shen's Yuanheng Trading Company is under his eldest son Shen Lu, and the basic transportation transactions in the Trading Company are also handed over to Shen Lu. Shen Lu is a man with talent and makes his business bigger and bigger. If he works with him, he will only add icing on the cake and won't make much money."
"There is a lot of operation on President Shen Zhu's second son, Shen Zhu. I can't talk about it more specifically. What does Brother Li think?"
Guo Pu was halfway through his words, and he was obviously prepared for Li Buzhuo.
Li Buzhuo listened to Guo Pu's analysis of Shen's business, and knew that this person was not bad at all, but he was also wary of Guo Pu and asked, "There is one thing I want to ask you, why are you sure I can win the championship?"
Guo Pu paused and said, "I can answer if you are willing to accept me."
Li Buzhuo pondered for a moment and nodded.
"explain."
"I said more than just you before the county examination when Longmen was named."
