Being is reasonable, but not necessarily legal.
Two days later, Zhao An received the certificate and paid the other five hundred silver taels. Ol 'Four gave Zhao An another number and said that it was a number that would not be easily changed. He hoped that there would be more business contacts in the future.
Zhao An nodded and didn't say anything to Ox Four. He rode his bicycle to a café and ordered a cup of coffee. Then, he took out his ID card and looked at it.
When taking the photo of his ID, Zhao An had asked the makeup artist to make it more mature for him. The date of issue on the ID card was also three years ago, so it could be explained even if the photo looked younger compared to the age of the ID card.
His ID card had also been old. He should have rubbed it in the rice jar, making traces of it being used everyday. Looking carefully at it, compared to his real ID card, the workmanship and the material were exactly the same.
Very soon, a call came in from Zhang Jiaqing.
In the past few days, Zhao An had finished making the remaining Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pills, and Zhang Jiaqing had probably reached the critical point of waiting. Although he wasn't worried that Zhao An was actually a fraud, he would probably suspect that Zhao An had contacted someone with a higher bid and didn't want to sell it to Zhang Jiaqing.
When Zhao An contacted Zhang Jiqing, he could tell from his tone that he was feeling relieved.
Not long after that, Zhao An, who was sitting near the window, looked out. Zhang Jiaqing's Audi had already stopped outside the café. Zhang Jiaqing walked downstairs and hurried upstairs.
When Zhang Jiaqing reached Zhao An's seat upstairs, he had already calmed down.
Zhao An greeted him with a smile. Zhang Jiaquan's posture was actually a business habit. No matter how impatient he was, he still had to put on an act on the surface.
"It's a bit hot today. When it's summer, this old man won't be able to take it. Turn on the air conditioner, it's uncomfortable, and I'm afraid of rheumatism. If you don't open it, you can't stay here any longer." Zhang Jiaqing and Zhao An were chatting idly.
"What do you want to drink?" Zhao An passed the list to Zhang Jiaquan.
Zhang Jiqing waved his hand, "There's no need... "I'm not used to these things. Drinking and drinking, it's still tea that tastes good."
Zhao An didn't try to play any tricks on Zhang Jiaquan. Instead, he took out a box of Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pills from his bag.
Looking at his casual look, the assistant beside him was afraid that the loose box would suddenly fall apart. This box of Baohua Spirit Restoring Pills dropped onto the ground. The fake ginseng from the drugstore was a hundred times better than this one.
Of course, they didn't need to rely on their appearances to fool others.
He closed his eyes, revealing a pleased expression. After a long time, he closed the box, and sighed with emotion, "According to the descriptions of the ancient people, this kind of pill, when it was born, would cause the sky and earth to change colors, and dragons and tigers would hover in the sky. The fragrance of the medicine would fill the air, and whoever hears it would become immortal, and even chickens and dogs would be able to understand it!"
"Elder Zhang, you're exaggerating too much." Was the support of Baohua Spiritual Brewing Pills already as such? If it was an even higher grade pill, shouldn't it be said that Buddha would sing praises all over the world once the pill was produced? Even Lord Tathagata the Buddha would want to beg for one pill?
"Not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration." Zhang Jiaqing did the work straightforwardly as well. He told the assistant beside him, "Go and handle the transfer of funds."
The assistant placed the medicine bag on the table and went downstairs to handle the two and a half million transfer account. Zhang Jiaquan obviously wouldn't have two and a half million transfer fee with Zhao An in the back of the car.
Although it was money, 2.5 million was really heavy, and even normal people would find it hard to manage it.
"Then I won't be in a hurry to finish the rest. I'll just take my time. Maybe I'll be able to deliver the goods soon. Maybe I'll have to wait until summer vacation. It's close to the college entrance exam." Zhao An said.
"It's fine, I'm not in a hurry. Do it slowly, but ask for the best quality." Zhang Jiaquan was not in a hurry to get his hands on the five Baohua Spiritual Replenishment Pills. He was naturally the first to use the five pills, and he did not expect to earn the difference in price.
"I think you must have taken that pill from last time. From the looks of it, your complexion has clearly improved." Looking at Zhang Jiaqing's expression, Zhao An nodded. Although Zhang Jiaqing's body was still strong and healthy, he was still an old man. Baohua Spirit Restoration Pills could improve his physique more quickly.
In the health of the human body, the most important thing was to expel the poison and to ensure the acquisition of nutrition. Baohua Spirit Enhancing Pill's strongest effect was to expel the poison, after eliminating the poison, one could tell from the appearance of the body that the color of the skin would obviously improve.
"That's right... "After eating that Baohua Spirit Nurturing Pill, my defecation even improved at night, especially my appetite, which made me feel as if I had suddenly aged by more than ten years." Zhang Jiaqing patted the back of Zhao An's hand gratefully, "If it wasn't for the fact that the national status of Chinese medicine wasn't recognized, I feel that the Baohua Spiritual Restoration Pills you made could easily win all kinds of international prizes, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you won the Nobel Prize."
"The Nobel Prize doesn't have a Chinese medicine award, and I don't care about those things." Zhao An smiled indifferently and spoke without the slightest hesitation.
It was very difficult to find such a young man who would take his reputation lightly. More importantly, Zhao An had maintained a rational restraint even for the immediate benefits. This kind of quality was necessary for someone who had done a lot of important things.
Zhang Jiaqing felt that if he was Zhao An, it would be very difficult for him to be so attached to himself. He would silently follow his plan, seeking the limited benefits that he needed. He did not want to turn his chips into a banknote machine as soon as he found an opportunity.
"Right, do you know your senior year's Zhang Yuyu from County Sand High School?" Zhang Jiaqing asked with interest.
Zhao An pondered over the matter carefully, but he had no impression of him. He shook his head and replied, "I don't know him..."
"That's my granddaughter. I didn't expect her to be in the same school as you. These few days, I was always asking her about you. I never thought that you would be such an influential person in the school. " Zhang Jiaqing gave a thumbs up, "Such a young age, yet he can cause such a commotion. Amazing!"
Of course, the entire school knew of the things Zhao An had done. Zhao An did not expect that Zhang Jiaqing's granddaughter would also be at County Sand High School, that Zhang Jiaqing would be considered famous in Hunan, that Zhang Yuyu's status would be enough to attract the attention of others, but she seemed to be very low-key, and Zhao An knew of many famous girls, but he had never heard of Zhang Yuyu's name.
"I rarely go to other classes to get to know my classmates. As for those things, there are some coincidences, and some of them are due to me being young and vigorous." Zhao An smiled. "The school has already taken me as their spokesperson …" I don't think it's good for me to advertise my Baohua Spirit-Nurturing Pills everywhere, in case others say that the students groomed by County City's Sha Middle School have become martial arts teachers and are promoting dogskin ointment! "
"Haha …" If you have such a high level of martial arts, then those famous doctors will be able to go back to studying. I want as many of these dog skin ointment as I can get! " Zhang Jiaquan laughed out loud, "I was chatting with Little Yu and she always talked about your matters. I think she really wants to be friends with you. Has she not come looking for you for the past few days?"
"No, she's a girl, so be more reserved." Zhao An didn't answer him. Zhang Jiaqing seemed to want him to get to know Zhang Yuyu, but Zhao An had absolutely no interest in this, especially in the school. Although the grandson of the principal of County Sand High School was his friend, County Sand High School was Li Qingge's territory.
If he didn't accept her, it was impossible for him to not know what Zhang Jiaqing meant. He probably didn't have this interest, and Zhang Jiaqing also didn't force him. If his granddaughter was old enough to find a boyfriend, and Zhao An was too, then of course he would be interested in making a match for her. Zhang Jiaqing hoped that his granddaughter and her outstanding peers would be able to get to know each other … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Zhang Jiaqing's assistant came up and changed the account. Zhao An stood up to bid farewell to Zhang Jiaqing.
"Shall we have dinner tonight?" Zhang Jiaqing and Zhao An walked downstairs together.
Zhao An was not in a good position to reject the offer. He had just accepted the man's offer for two and a half million yuan. After all, it was a favor to him, so he agreed.
After arranging a time and place, Zhao An refused to see Zhang Jiaqing off and rode his bicycle home first.
After that, he would go to Hu Yue's home and inform her that he wouldn't be having dinner here tonight.
"Zhao An, let me ask you something …" What do you think of the laundry business? " Hearing that Zhao An wasn't eating here at night, Hu Yue stopped picking vegetables and prepared to have a casual meal with Ye Luo. Since they were two women, eating less at night was just like losing weight.
"Are you talking about the current business, or the prospects and development?" Hu Yue didn't have a man in her family, so she often had to decide on her own. Zhao An stopped and spoke to her. In fact, since Hu Yue had been here alone for so many years, she had her own opinions.
However, women were women after all, and women were more used to listening and discussing with others. Even if Zhao An was only a boy, Hu Yue still wouldn't be willing to discuss things with Zhao Dagong and Qin Zhu while Hu Yue was still a boy.
"I don't know either …" Tell me all about it. " It was obvious that Hu Yue was worried.
"I feel that your current business is not too bad. Although you can't be said to have made a fortune in our business, your victory is stable and your monthly income doesn't go up or down." After all, we have been here for so many years, and the neighbors know that you have good reputations. If we keep doing this, it's going to be difficult to have big growth, but it's not going to be a problem as a stable source of income. " Zhao An had some understanding of Hu Yue's business, so he often came to see Hu Yue calculating the daily income.
"Yes, that's true. I think so too." Hu Yue sighed, "The reason your Uncle Hu came this time was to ask me to move the shop over to his place. He said that he could take care of us there too, not to mention that the economic development there is better than here, and the washing needs are more expensive. He said that many of the laundry around him are very profitable, far more than what I earned in the county."
"There is no doubt that the future of the laundry is good. As the economy grows, the number of high-end ready-to-wear clothing entering the wardrobe of ordinary people will increase, and the demand for professional laundry will increase as well. Aunt Hu, you should be able to feel that this year's business is better than last year's, and last year's as well. Zhao An paused for a moment before saying, "But I don't think you can move the shop over to Uncle Hu's place. It would be a hundred times more harmful to you."
"Why? Tell me about it. " Listening to Zhao An's reasoning, Hu Yue wanted to seriously listen to Zhao An's reasoning. Although Zhao An's reasoning was simple and Hu Yue herself had such a concept in mind, compared to Zhao An's explanation, Hu Yue felt that her train of thoughts had suddenly become clearer.
"Firstly, moving a shop is not an easy thing to do. Other than dealing with the move here, finding a shop there, handling the formalities, and so on, everything else is troublesome. Secondly, there was the funding. Opening up a new store also required a large amount of money. This money was the cost, so there was no need to invest any of it. Third, according to Uncle Hu's meaning, there were quite a few laundries over there, which meant that the competition was fierce. As a foreigner, it was easier said than done to get a share of the local competition. There might not even be such a good business deal here. "Fourth, since the economy is well-developed, the people who choose the laundry are also people with high incomes. People with high incomes value the service quality of the laundry more than the price, and they will be more interested in decorating the door, and more professional and high-end shops. To do this, we will need to join a chain of brands, and the joining fee and upgrading the equipment will be a huge expense. What do you think, Aunt Hu?"
Zhao An finished his explanation in one breath. He never expected Hu Kai to be like this. This brother of his really came to bring his little sister into the fire pit... In his memories, Hu Yue didn't move away from this place in the end. Leaving the prefectural development was something that happened after that. Presumably, the reason she moved away later on was related to Hu Kai.
Although he didn't know why Hu Yue's business seemed to be developing so well after the move, it wasn't suitable at the moment. Moreover, Zhao An didn't want Hu Yue to leave, so that wasn't a wise choice.
Hu Yue was coming to expand her presence in this industry and needed more funds to expand the scope and scale of the business. Without Hu Kai's help, Zhao An could provide enough funds.
"Aunt Hu thinks so too …" I was going to call your parents tonight and tell them, but there's no need for that now. "I have already made up my mind to do business here. If you really want to go one step further, I will discuss it with your parents." Hu Yue stood up with a smile. There really wasn't a sufficient reason, who would be willing to leave their hometown? As for the funds needed to expand the store's size in the future, if Hu Yue could handle a portion of it, Qin Zhu and Zhao Dagong wouldn't be stingy either. More importantly... Being a distant relative was not as good as being a close neighbor. Although Hu Kai was his own brother, but this blood brother of his was simply not worth mentioning in his home.
She wanted to borrow five hundred thousand from Qin Zhu and his wife. As long as she asked for it, it would be good if she could borrow five thousand from her brother, since five thousand was 100% of her brother's private money. It wasn't that he wasn't willing to borrow it, it was because he didn't have any money.
