Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

This kind of bureaucratic style has been like this since ancient times, Shen San is very used to this kind of thing, so naturally he doesn't take it to heart.What's more, the reason why he agreed to Lin Xuan's invitation was because of his own plan. Before the two had negotiated, he would not give up his plan just because of the other party's attitude.

Similar to Shen San's guess, Lin Xuan did arrive so late on purpose.The purpose is also very simple, one is to simply understand what Shen San's character is like from this aspect, and the other is to put some pressure on the other party to gain more initiative for his next actions .

Lin Xuan obviously failed to achieve the second goal, and Shen San was not such an easy character to deal with, but the first goal was at least somewhat accomplished.After all, no matter what Shen San's reaction was, whether his reaction was faked or not, there would be a trace, and for a smart person, this trace is completely enough.

Lin Xuan sat across from Shen San with a smile, looked into Shen San's eyes, and said sincerely: "Mr. After those polite words, I said it straight to the point."

Hearing what Lin Xuan said, Shen San immediately became interested, and looked at Lin Xuan with some surprise, as if he hadn't thought that the officials of the imperial court would have such a happy time.

It's no wonder that Shen San was surprised, it's because the bureaucratic style of the Great Zhou Dynasty was too serious, although Lin Xuan's appointment with Shen San this time can be regarded as asking for help.But judging from Shen San's experience in dealing with those officials, you shouldn't expect these people to lower their profile. In their eyes, a person like Shen San, even if his energy in private Big, no matter how rich they are, they will not be able to get on the stage, and they are far inferior to them.

In fact, these people's thinking is not necessarily wrong, after all, the atmosphere of the entire dynasty is like this, but in this way, in Shen San's eyes, Lin Xuan's image is suddenly elevated.

Lin Xuan's time was very limited, and he must not let anyone know about his meeting with Shen San this time, otherwise, even if he successfully pulled Shen San to his side, it would not be of much use.

Therefore, seeing that Shen San's attention was all on himself, Lin Xuan smiled slightly and started to get straight to the point: "Actually, the purpose of meeting Shen Sanye this time is to meet the hero who has always been famous in the world. Secondly, there is also a business that I want to discuss with you, Mr. Shen, but I don't know if Mr. Shen is interested in it."

Shen San turned the cup in his hand, with a smile in his eyes: "If Shen is not interested, Master Lin will not see Shen here, but if you want to negotiate this deal, it depends on Lin." The price you have given, my lord."

Seeing that Shen San did not shy away from speaking directly, Lin Xuan no longer beat around the bush. He directly took out the paper that had been prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, gently put it on the table, and pushed it along the table. To Shen San.

Shen San raised his eyebrows, and after glancing at Lin Xuan, he stretched out his hand to take the paper on the table. Originally, Shen San just wanted to take a rough look, and that's all.But all of a sudden, Shen San seemed to have seen something, and his whole application instantly became serious, he stared at the paper intently, read it several times, raised his head and took a deep look at Lin Xuan, then immediately I fell into deep thought.

Since taking out the piece of paper, Lin Xuan has been sitting leisurely on the chair, observing Shen San's expression. Regarding the conditions given on the paper, Lin Xuan believes that it is absolutely impossible for Shen San to be indifferent.Those things may not be that important to others, but to Shen San, they are more important than anything else. Lin Xuan believes that these conditions offered by Li Hong are enough for Shen San to give up this part of the profits in Liangjiang , is also enough for Shen San to make up his mind to offend those people he didn't want to offend.

As far as Shen San is concerned, he has power, as long as he is in the Tao, there are very few people in the country who do not know Shen San's name.Even a big man like the governor of Liangjiang had heard of Shen San's name. It was actually not easy for an ancient underworld to get mixed up to this point. As for money, Shen San had no shortage of it.

Now that he has power and money, it stands to reason that Shen San should have everything. After all, as long as he has power and money, there are very few things that he cannot buy.But the fact is just the opposite, because of these things, Shen San is more eager to get one thing, and that thing is his social status in this ancient times.

What is social status, that is the bureaucratic class, although Shen San seems to be very powerful, there are many officials who are in his hands, and the living conditions of many officials are not as good as him.But in terms of social status, he is actually far inferior to these officials, even if he is only a seventh-rank sesame official.

No matter how small the power of an official is, it is recognized by the court, protected by the state, and recognized by the entire society.However, no matter how powerful Shen San's power is, it will not be seen in the light, and will not be recognized by the country and society. People who become officials can honor their ancestors and be respected by the world, and Shen San, no matter how rich he is , these are also beyond his reach.

Why did Shen San feel like a dwarf every time he went to negotiate with those officials, even though he clearly held the initiative.It's nothing more than because the other party is an official, but he is just a commoner. To put it bluntly, the two are not in the same class at all.

Therefore, what Shen San wanted most was an official position, he wanted to gain the respect of others, he wanted to win a certain social status for himself, instead of always being dwarf and inferior.It's just that Shen San also understands very well in his heart that his idea is just wishful thinking. How did the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty come to be? .

Even under the connivance of Emperor Longqing, officials were governed to the same level as today, but such a phenomenon of buying and selling officials is absolutely impossible in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Shen Sanxin's inner That wish was just a fantasy.

For Shen San, this matter may be just a fantasy, but for some people, these things are not a problem at all, this is the difference in class, and the results obtained are completely different.

Shen San pondered for a long time, and finally opened his mouth after a long while, his voice became a little difficult: "The things you said are all true, can Prince Qin really keep his promise?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, with a calm expression: "Of course, as long as things go well, what you want is not a problem at all. If things don't go well..."

Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, Shen San snorted coldly: "If things don't go well, should I just admit that I'm unlucky."

Lin Xuan didn't mind Shen San's words at all, and he wasn't afraid that Shen San wouldn't take the bait. Lin Xuan was still very confident about the price Li Hong offered.

Seeing that Lin Xuan just looked at him but didn't speak, Shen San sneered again, with some sarcasm in his expression: "Master Lin, you are really shrewd, but don't treat Shen as a A fool, with a blank check like now, do you think Shen will agree?"

Lin Xuan leaned on the back of the chair very relaxedly, and looked at Shen San with a smile: "Mr. Shen's words are wrong. As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger. If you want to get it, you must pay first." Yes. The more you want to get, the greater the risk you need to take. This truth must be understood by Mr. Shen better than Mr. Lin."
