Although he was full of praise for Zhou Baopu's craftsmanship in his heart and did not hide his inner joy on the surface, Zhu Kuang did not praise Zhou Baopu verbally. Because he knew that the more he got from these foods, the more he owed Zhou Baopu.
The more he owed Zhou Baopu, the more embarrassed he was to refuse the conditions he asked Zhou Baopu to raise later.
Zhou Baopu didn't care about these. Although he didn't get Zhu Kuang's verbal praise, because of his great confidence in his craftsmanship, Zhou Baopu knew that even if he didn't say it, what he felt in his heart was that Zhu Kuang couldn't. Self-deception.
Seeing Zhou Baopu's indifferent expression, Zhu Kuang also knew what he was thinking. But even if he knew it, Zhu Kuang couldn't find a way to change it. Because, after all, the enjoyment that Zhou Baopu's food brought to him actually existed and could not be wiped out by him.
"Tell me, you asked me to come here to wait for you. What happened?"
After three rounds of drinking, even though the two of them had been in the wine shop for a long time, they were inevitably a little tipsy.
Zhou Baopu struck while the iron was hot and went straight to the point. If he wanted to get what he wanted, he had to figure out what his value was. In other words, Zhou Baopu wanted to accurately position his own goals from the other party's goals, so as not to suffer a loss or raise the price.
As soon as he heard what Zhou Baopu said, Zhu Kuang's eyelids jumped violently, and he was mostly sober from the drunkenness. Although he did not regain his consciousness immediately, the confusion in his expression immediately disappeared by five or six points, and his whole person immediately Become alert.
Speaking of Zhu Kuang's purpose here, we have to go back to the day Zhou Baopu was injured. Coincidentally, when Fu Chi was rescuing Zhou Baopu, he was discovered by Zhu Kuang who was hiding in the dark. Being able to establish a relationship with Fu Chi, the upright landlord of Tianfu Tower, Zhou Baopu's value suddenly jumped to an unprecedented height in Zhu Kuang's heart.
This is also the reason why after entering the assessment room, Zhu Kuang has been trying his best to flatter Zhou Baopu. As a deacon, it seems to be disrespectful to treat a disciple who is in the entrance examination like this. However, until Zhu Kuang was strange during the period, it was not so I think, on the contrary, it is worthwhile to do so.
Of course, as such a shrewd person, Zhu Kuang would not say anything. Otherwise, Zhou Baopu would seize on his tendency to follow others. If the lion opened his mouth, he would be at a huge disadvantage if he agreed. If he did not agree, he would be at a disadvantage. , and it’s too difficult, and you will inevitably fall into a dilemma all of a sudden.
As for how to deal with Zhou Baopu's question, why didn't Zhu Kuang practice it in advance?
Zhu Kuang took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and at the same time made his mind clearer. Then he organized his words and said slowly: "Actually, the reason why I did this is It's almost like venture capital, with a certain amount of risk."
"Venture investment?"
Zhou Baopu knew that the reason why the other party didn't finish the sentence in one step was to arouse his interest, and by asking, he was undoubtedly trying to find a way for the other party. reason to continue talking. There was still some awareness of this, and Zhou Baopu expressed his doubts in a timely manner.
"You and I have never met each other before, but your performance in the first level of the assessment shocked me deeply. As far as I know, in this assessment, only ten people got the first level I have passed the first level, and you are one of them. Of course, although the success of the first level does not mean anything, once you can become a core disciple, then maybe you can give me some care." At this
point , Zhu Kuang paused his tongue, his eyes were like a ferocious beast staring at its prey, looking at Zhou Baopu without blinking, obviously waiting for Zhou Baopu to express his position.
"Don't worry, if I can really get away with it, I will definitely not forget what you said today."
Zhou Baopu smiled and said something arrogant. Anyway, these are just words and not a substantive promise. Although He said so, but when the time comes, whether he will help or not, whether he will do it or not, it depends on whether Zhou Baopu himself feels the same way?
According to a popular saying now, the final right of interpretation lies with Zhou Baopu. Therefore, Zhou Baopu agreed without any hesitation.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to become a core disciple?"
Zhou Baopu said this almost word for word, because in his opinion, Zhu Kuang's approach was too risky. Although he didn't know what Zhu Kuang was investing in, Zhou Baopu felt that no matter what he invested in, there seemed to be a suspicion of poor thinking.
With Zhu Kuang's intelligence, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake. Zhou Baopu couldn't figure out what kind of tricks there were.
Of course, if you don’t understand it, there’s no need to think about it any more. As long as the current situation is beneficial to him, this is enough for Zhou Baopu.
"I have thought about this, but as long as the effort is not too big, I can do it for you. So, I hope you can consider the risk and not make any excessive demands." Zhu
Kuang By saying this, he completely gave Zhou Baopu the power to set conditions.
The reason why Zhu Kuang did this was not without his own considerations, because in his opinion, Zhou Baopu, who had received a traditional education, was bound to feel self-effacing when he gave in to benefit himself. I feel that maybe I will be humble and humble and not make things too difficult for him.
However, what Zhu Kuang didn't know was that at this point, Zhou Baopu was not affected by traditional education at all. Instead, he seemed a bit arrogant. He often did not do what he could, but first raised his worth and then Engage in a verbal spat with the other party and then finalize the sale.
When Zhou Baopu heard this, he felt happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He quickly said: "Since you said so, I won't be polite." When Zhu Kuang heard what Zhou Baopu said, he suddenly felt happy in his heart
. I had a bad premonition, as if I had predicted something.
However, now that things have happened, words are just like water thrown out, and it is difficult to recover the water.
So Zhu Kuang could only follow Zhou Baopu's words and said with a smile: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Zhou Baopu pondered his emotions for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at Zhu Kuang firmly. Eyes and body also stood up, half-leaning towards Zhu Kuang, and said with a calm expression: "I want some blood skills, I wonder if you can find them for me?" Zhou Baopu noticed that after he finished saying
these When he saw it, Zhu Kuang's eyes suddenly shrank, as if he had been frightened.
"What kind of blood skill?"
"Yellow level is enough."
After this conversation, Zhou Baopu suddenly discovered that Zhu Kuang's shrinking eyes suddenly dispersed again as if he was finally relieved. From Zhu Kuang's heavy breathing, Zhou Baopu could tell that a big stone suddenly fell to the ground in Zhu Kuang's heart.
Seeing Zhou Baopu looking at him without blinking, although his eyes revealed great hope, they were more calm, just like his wisdom, which made Zhu Kuang confused.
"Okay, I promise you."
Zhu Kuang said slowly, as if he had made a major decision.
