When Sun Jian received the good news from Sun Jian, Sun Ce had already discussed with the Xiangyang families. Cai Mao led the group, Xiangshi, Yicheng, and Ma family jointly prepared to raise 50 million yuan to invest in Kuaiji and establish an industry. He took out 5 million yuan as early funds and used as inspection funds before the formal investment, and the specific tasks were handled by Cai Mao and Xiang Lang.

Xiang Lang was in his twenties, tall and strong, not like a scholar at all, but like a brave warrior. But he was indeed a scholar. He used to study in the village. After Cai Yong built Xiangyang Academy, he studied in the academy for half a year. His master was Sima Hui from Yingchuan. He also liked to collect books and was very interested in collecting various ancient books. He heard that he was going to Kuaiji for an inspection this time, so he took the initiative to ask for his order.

Sun Ce suspected that he was fake for public and private purposes, and that he was fake for business, and that searching for ancient books was the real purpose.

Xiang Lang and Yang Xiu hit it off at first sight, and the two got to know each other very well.

After the discussion was made, Sun Ce immediately set off to the south. On the way, he received a report from Chen Duan. He and Liu Xun arrived in Anlu. The Huang family was very tactful and handed over Huang Yi, and expressed their willingness to cooperate with Sun Ce to contribute 50 million yuan. Chen Zheng refused this dedication according to Sun Ce's previous instructions and brought Huang Yi to the meeting. Other matters were handed over to the governor of Jingzhou Du Ji, who was handled in accordance with the court's laws.

Sun Ce was very satisfied. Chen Duan was reliable in his work and was not tempted by the Huang family's dedication. Referring to the experience of cracking down on the aristocratic families in Runan, the Huang family had to spit out at least 100 million this time, so how could it be settled with 50 million.

When the boat arrived at Xiakou, Gan Ning and Chen Duan had already met and were waiting for him. Sun Ce changed the boat and asked Zhang Hu to rush back to Jiangling, waiting for Zhou Yu's order, and transferred to Gan Ning's warship himself. After not seeing each other for more than a month, Gan Ning's mental outlook improved much, stood at the bow of the boat and bowed to greet him.

"I've seen the general."

Sun Ce got on the boat and smiled slightly. "Xingba, from now on, I have been on your pirate ship. You won't treat me as a meat ticket and tied it to Yizhou, right?"

Gan Ning was embarrassed, but Guo Jia and others burst into laughter. Guo Jia patted Gan Ning on the shoulder with a feather fan. "You have to pay a good price. There are so many of us. If you can't get a general in the Tower Boat and add a Wanhu Hou, it would be a loss."

Gan Ning also smiled. "Liu Yan is not so generous, so it is better for me to sell myself to the general. The Marquis of Wanhu dare not think that I would be satisfied if I could have a place on the list of heroes of the general."

Sun Ce laughed. "Look, the thief also has a saying. Don't underestimate this Jinfan thief in the future. He is more knowledgeable than many people. Let's go, Xingba, let's have a drink. I know you like drinking, Cai Jun brought a lot of Jiufengchun from the Cai family, please try it."

When Gan Ning heard that there was wine, he was overjoyed and rubbed his hands repeatedly. "Please wait for the general. I'll go and touch a few fish and make fresh fish soup for the general."

"Why bother you Gan Xingba like this?" Guo Jia stopped Gan Ning and waved his feather fan. The two seemingly inconspicuous servants around him walked to the side of the boat, took off their clothes, and only a cow had a short nose left. He picked up a wine pot and drank a big sip of wine, jumped into the river, and one of them pierced and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was dozens of steps away.

Gan Ning was shocked. Sun Ce actually had such a good-looking person around him. He didn't expect that even his subordinates could do this. Sun Ce ignored them and pulled Gan Ning into the cabin. "Don't pay attention to him, he just likes to show off his capable people."

Gan Ning also heard that Guo Jia was Sun Ce's confidant. He was responsible for inquiring about information from various places. He had some talented people and strangers under him, but he had never seen them. Now after seeing these two servants, he was a little convinced. He followed Sun Ce into the cabin and was about to call Sun Ce to take his seat. Sun Ce shook his head and retreated. Before Gan Ning could understand what was going on, Cai Mao walked in and took a look, picked up a paint case and threw it out of the cabin.

"Twist all these rags at me." Cai Mao took out a silk hand, wiped his hands carefully, then pinched them into a ball, and squeezed them into the water. The two servants walked in, picked up the various tables and decorations in the cabin, and threw them out. Gan Ning was anxious and shouted repeatedly: "Hehehe, what are you doing?"

"I'll get you a new one." Cai Mao said with a smile: "How can these rags be worthy of your title as the Chief Jinfan?"

While speaking, the servants of the Cai family walked over like flowing water. They first hung exquisite wall curtains on the bulkhead, then laid carpets, then laid mats, and placed paint tables. Everything was ready. Then they brought a few jars of wine, and then took out a set of exquisite food utensils and tableware, which were all arranged one by one, especially the wine set was the most gorgeous, with black lacquer and red patterns, gold and jade inlaid, and magnificent.

Cai Mao went into the cabin and looked at it, nodding. "Are the captain still satisfied?"

Gan Ning was stunned. He was rich and lived a luxurious life, but he had never seen such exquisite food utensils or wine utensils. He robbed the house and grabbed what it was. He had a rare opportunity to grab a complete set of furniture and food utensils. Usually they were pieced together, so how could this unified style of high-end goods are pleasing to the eye.

"Jun Cai is worthy of being the richest man in Xiangyang, and he is extremely rich."

"It's nothing. Following General Sun will not suffer any loss. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, anyone can make a fortune." Cai Mao clapped his hands and ordered someone to get a set of golden silk armor and put it in front of Gan Ning. "This is what the general asked me to customize for the commander. Please accept it with a smile."

Looking at the golden and exquisitely crafted brocade armor, Gan Ning couldn't put it down and kept saying thank you.

Sun Ce waved his hand, looking calm and gentle. "Although you have no military achievements in your trip to Lujiang this time, you have worked hard. This piece of golden silk and brocade armor is your reward. Okay, it's better to drink a bar. The fish is touched and the soup is almost ready. Hurry up and warm the wine."

"Thank you, General." Gan Ning was very grateful, so he turned around and arranged for someone to do the work. He was attentive and hospitality.

Sun Ce exchanged a look with Guo Jia and showed a knowing smile. This is Guo Jia's suggestion. People must be good at drinking, sex, wealth and power. Gan Ning's characteristic is fighting and showing off wealth. Use force to control Gan Ning's impulse to kill, so that he can go to the battlefield to go wild. Use the Cai family's wealth to stimulate his competitive spirit, and then let him become One Piece in the future. He will be willing to do so. As for the current technology, the risk of going to sea is still very high, and the endless sea is also a severe test for people's psychology. There is no sufficient temptation of profits, and few people are willing to go to sea to make a living. The sea adventures of countries around the world almost start with pirates. Of course, pirates have no national justice, and the only thing that can attract them is wealth.

Use strategies to target the target's personality, either blocking or distracting, but going in a disadvantageous way. Only a strategist like Guo Jia, who is well versed in the weaknesses of human nature, can design such a brilliant plan, making Gan Ning unable to resist and obey orders.

It was not long, and the wine was getting better and the fish soup came up. Everyone raised their glasses and drank happily. After three rounds of wine, Chen Duan and Liu Xun came. Chen Duan bowed calmly, but Liu Xun showed an exaggerated smile as soon as he entered the cabin, sniffed, looked around, and kept tsk. When Sun Ce saw it, he smiled and said, "Okay, don't be greedy, sit down and have a drink."

"Thank you, General." Liu Xun bowed his hands and smiled flatteringly. "I will not receive any reward without merit. Please see someone first."

"Who?" Sun Ce asked knowingly.

Liu Xun turned around and dragged Huang Yi in, kicked him down, shouting, "Hold on your knees! Say your shitty tricks to the general again."
