The next day, Lü Ning and Zhao Yun rushed to Ye City. Along the way, Lü Ning asked Zhao Yun for some advice on marksmanship, allowing Lü Ning to have a certain understanding of the performance of various weapons in battle, which would be of great benefit to him in future battles.
When they arrived at Ye City, the people in the city saw their two peerless warhorses, one black and one white. They looked up and admired them. They discussed animatedly. Many people on the road were surprised. Especially the young girls and young ladies, they screamed. Of course, the screams were all directed at Zhao Yun.
Of course, such a tall horse would be a star in any place. Moreover, one was black and the other was white. There was not a single stray hair on their bodies. Especially the person on the white horse, who was handsome, mighty, and elegant. Many young ladies and beautiful women would not be able to sleep at night. On the other hand, the person on the black horse was dressed in a Confucian scholar's robe. Riding on this tall horse, it gave off a sense of incongruity. Such an excellent warhorse should be carrying a general on the battlefield. Wasn't it a waste to let a Confucian scholar ride it?
Lu Ning and Zhao Yun didn't care about the strange gazes around them. After asking for the Zhen Residence's address, they headed straight for it.
Lu Ning's destination was one of the five richest merchants in the world, the Zhen family of Jizhou. The other four wealthy merchants were the Mi family of Xuzhou, the Wei family of Chenliu, the Zhu family of Jiangdong, and the Wang family of Yizhou. The five families were the wealthiest businessmen in the world. Just a cough from them would seriously affect the supply of products and the price level of goods in the world. It was no exaggeration to say that they had the ability to influence the entire world's economy.
When Lu Ning and Zhao Yun arrived at the main gate of the Zhen Residence, Lu Ning asked Zhao Yun to knock on the door lightly. Not long after, the door opened with a creak. A servant came out and asked Zhao Yun what was the matter. Zhao Yun handed over the card that Lü Ning had made at the last minute, which was also the name card of the future.
The servant took the name card and said to wait. He then closed the door and walked in.
Lu Ning and Zhao Yun stood outside the Zhen Residence for about half an incense stick's time, which was about half an hour in the future. A steward came out and cupped his fists at them."Is that Lü Ning, General Lü Ziyi?”
"I am Lu Ning, not a general," replied Lu Ning.”
The steward did not mind and politely led Lu Ning and Zhao Yun in.
Lu Ning went in to take a look. Oh my god, it was so big. It was probably thousands of acres of land. There were flowers, green leaves, pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water. It was really a paradise on earth. Even the super-rich people of the future could not catch up with it.
Damn it, these rich people were too good at enjoying themselves and were too extravagant.
Lu Ning and Zhao Yun followed the steward for about ten minutes before they entered a magnificent building. After entering the house, the steward introduced them to Lord Zhen.
L??Ning bowed to the old man and said respectfully,""I, Lu Ning, pay my respects to Lord Zhen."
Old man Zhen glanced at Lu Ning. He was so young, was he the kind of person who could make the Xianbei race tremble in fear? "You are Da Xiong?"
Lu Ning raised his head and looked at the old man. He knew that he was able to meet the head of the Zhen family this time because of Da Xiong's reputation. Otherwise, he might not even be able to enter the Zhen residence, let alone talk about cooperation.
This was the same as the future. A nameless nobody wanted to meet the CEO of a big company directly. Wasn't that a fantasy and a joke? It was completely impossible.
At this moment, L??N??ng could not be bothered with the title, as long as he could do something good. Although he felt that the old man's tone was not very friendly and a little stiff, he still smiled and said,"I am Lu Ning, Lu Ziyi. As for the two words 'Big Bear', I just found out that I have a new title.”
Elder Zhen glanced at Zhao Yun. Although she was very young, she was very handsome. He pointed at her and said,"What about this one?"
"He is my sworn brother, Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong."”
Zhao Yun went forward and bowed to the old man. The old man said,"Mr. Lu, please take a seat! Please have some tea!"
The old man personally gave up his seat to the two of them and asked someone to serve them tea.
Only then did Lü Ning feel slightly relieved. He took a small sip of the tea. It was very good and had a faint fragrance. Although Lü Ning wanted to take a big sip, he knew that he could not do it in such a place. Otherwise, people would say that they were boorish people who only knew how to drink like a pig and not taste it.
After putting down the teacup, Lu Ning praised,""Lord Zhen, your tea is very good. This is the best tea I've tasted in the past half a year.”
This was the truth. In the past half a year, he had been busy with this and that. He really did not have much time to enjoy good things.
Elder Zhen thought to himself that this kid really knew how to taste tea. He couldn't be a layman to be able to tell the quality of tea.
"May I know why Mister has come to my residence this time?”
After hearing this, Lu Ning put down the teacup in his hand and said,""Elder Zhen, I've heard a lot of people say that you're a kind man, a benevolent and compassionate person. They say that you're always helping others, helping countless victims and refugees, and that you're the most conscientious businessman in the world. At the same time, you are also a patriotic businessman. For many years, you have been secretly helping those heroes who dare to resist the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang Hu, and other barbarians. He even heard that Old Master Zhen had once said a famous saying,"When the country is in trouble, everyone has a responsibility." When I first heard this famous saying, I was ashamed. "It was because of your words that I gathered a group of hot-blooded men from the Han Dynasty. They all want to protect the country and the people. They all want to use the blood of the Xianbei and Xiongnu to pay tribute to the people who were killed by the Xianbei and Xiongnu. They want to sweep those barbarians out of the territory of the Han Dynasty and return the stability of the Han Dynasty. Old Master Zhen is really a role model for our generation."”
Old man Zhen was confused. When did I say that? I've been helping him in secret for so many times. How could this be? You must have set me up. Could it really be the work of the steward? I can't be sure. After all, the family is too big and I don't care about many small things.
L??Ning looked up at old man Zhen and thought to himself, I can't be bothered with you. I'll put on the hat for you first and flatter you more. Who doesn't want to listen to flattery? Who doesn't want others to flatter them? It's hard to not want to enter the industry.
Lu Ning's move was indeed very useful. Since ancient times, no matter if it was a hero, a great person, a famous person, or a rich person, they could not resist the art of flattery. Everyone loved to hear flattery, regardless of nationality or race.
Elder Zhen smiled. After all, the flattery had worked, and the old man's attitude became more intimate.
"Mister Lu, you flatter me. Those are all small matters.”
