Of course, the sooner the better. As long as the money is obtained, Zhang Zifang and Huan'er will officially become shareholders. With them as backers behind the scenes, things will be much easier to handle.
At least no one dares to interfere with it.
Zhang Zifang quickly took out 20,000 taels of silver notes and gave them to Xiao Chen. The brothers clearly wanted to settle the accounts, so they still had to have the written evidence.
Huan'er couldn't borrow so much money for a while, so Xiao Chen helped her with it.
Xiao Chen flirted with the queen and had an affair with the noble concubine, but he felt no pressure and always felt at ease.
But I'm just a little embarrassed for this little girl Huan'er, and I always feel like I can't help her.
So I wanted to compensate her with money.
Of course, he did not forget his brothers. He called Zhuge Xiaosheng Wei Yuntian Wen Shanchang and asked them to use all the money they had previously rewarded to invest in shares.
Several people were still confused about the situation, thinking that Xiao Chen regretted giving them so much money, so he was looking for excuses to go back.
But I didn't dare not to give it, I just secretly complained in my heart.
"Look, the faces of you guys! Even if you are not grateful at all for giving you the opportunity to make a lot of money, are you still scolding me for being stingy in your heart?" Xiao Chen revealed their little thoughts with one sentence.
"There is no scolding. There are only two complaints. This money is gone before it can be warmed in my hands... I also want to use this money to buy a house for my wife in the future." What is Wei Yuntian thinking about? What to say.
"If you have no future, what kind of good house can you buy with that little money? When you make money later, it won't be a problem to buy a big house with three entrances and three exits on Imperial College Street." Xiao Chen casually made a big picture cake.
Several people listened seriously.
Xiao Chen only has two acquaintances outside. One is Zhao Gongming, who of course cannot be contacted casually, and the other is Zhang Baiwan.
Xiao Chen rescued Zhang Juer without any effort, and Zhang Baiwan did not break his promise, and indeed sent him a banknote of two hundred thousand taels, which was equivalent to more than half of Zhang Baiwan's family property.
But this also shows that this person means what he says, is fastidious in his work, and is a reliable person.
Then let's bring him in by the way. Firstly, he can help build a factory outside, and secondly, he can make a lot of money to make up for his losses.
Xiao Chen saved the lives of his whole family and sent him such a big fat job. Zhang Baiwan was overjoyed and grateful, so she just called Xiao Chen daddy...
Liu Fuhai and Zhang Baiwan discussed for a long time and worked out a project cost that they thought was exaggerated and presented it to Xiao Chen for review.
Xiao Chen didn't even look at it, but with a stroke of his pen, he directly increased the price five times!
The two of them turned pale with fear when they saw this.
This, this, this...can this work? This!
Is this a little too dark?
Facts have proved that this is not the case, because the eunuchs in charge did not raise any objections to the cost, and some even thought that the price was a bit low...
Zhang Baiwan's heart dropped to his stomach, and he said sternly that the father-in-laws were indeed wise, powerful, and extremely intelligent!
In fact, our work was in vain and we couldn't make much money at all.
But this is what Mr. Xiao means. He said that he can't make money from his own people no matter what, so brother, I am also very embarrassed, and it is difficult to explain to my subordinates.
But even so, brothers, I can’t let you go to the wrong place. I’ve already prepared the little things for you. I’ll send them to you personally later...
Thank you for what? If you have money, let's make it. This is also the exact words of our Eunuch Xiao.
When will work start? After we finish installing Mr. Gong Shouli’s residence, it will be you.
This is really what Xiao Chen meant.
Although Gong Shouli had offended him, he didn't want to offend Gong Shouli, and he didn't ask for any friendship with him. He just wanted him to cause as little trouble to him as possible.
Gong Shouli couldn't afford to offend him, but that guy from the Jinyi Wei Jingjie Division called Cheng Datian was nothing!
If you dare to show off to me, I will make you suffer first this time.
You can take on any job in any department in the palace, except the Jinyiwei Jingjie Department! Why? Just because I don't like their idiot named Cheng.
This made Cheng Datian very passive.
The subordinates watched helplessly as everyone installed heaters, and the room was so warm that they could even wear single clothes. Our brothers in the Jingjie Department were shivering from the cold while wearing large cotton-padded jackets and guarding a few broken braziers!
You have to take care of this matter when you become an adult!
Cheng Datian had no choice but to look for Xiao Chen in person, but Xiao Chen didn't see him at all!
The current Xiao Chen was personally sealed by the emperor and held the third-grade title of the dignified Chief of Ceremonies Bingbi. He was no longer a small-time official in the Baochao Department before.
He also personally invented an awesome heating system and became a highly praised and respected celebrity in the palace.
It is said that his immediate superior, the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei, Pingyang Marquis Zhu Xiaochuan, was always polite to him when he met him.
The identity is different, okay?
So I definitely can't fight with him, but I don't dare to fight with Zhang Baiwan who is in charge of the heating construction project.
Firstly, Zhang Baiwan's daughter Zhang Juer was a concubine in the palace. Secondly, he vaguely heard that Zhang Baiwan's factory also had the chief eunuch Zhang Zifang, and the Queen's confidant Huan'er's capital...
Can you afford it?
I had to be soft-spoken. I knew that my subordinates Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian had a very good relationship with Xiao Chen, so I begged them hard to talk to each other, and they had to install this damn heater for us. .
Otherwise, I won’t be able to continue doing this job!
Of course, Xiao Chen gave the two brothers face and sent someone over the next day to measure and install it.
From then on, many people in the palace, including Cheng Datian, understood one thing. Xiao Chen had a vengeful temper, but he was not someone to be trifled with.
Twenty-fourth prison, Baochao Department.
Xiao Chen, accompanied by Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge, was inspecting the work of the department.
He just came here to go through the handover procedures, because he had done some work for a few days before, but now that his status is high, he can't hold this small position concurrently.
But after Zhang Cheng personally completed the formalities for him, he refused to let him leave. He insisted on accompanying him to inspect the department. In fact, it was just to flatter him.
Baochaosi has the character for banknote in its name, but it does not make banknotes, but makes papyrus.
That's right, this is the department that specializes in making toilet paper for the palace.
At that time, Xiao Chen didn't know what Baochaosi did, and his gratitude to Murong Danqiufeng for giving him this title came from the bottom of his heart. When he learned the truth, he almost became angry and his nose was broken.
Even if it is toilet paper, it is divided into three, six or nine grades.
Generally, eunuchs and maids use extremely rough paper, which feels harsh to the touch.
But the ones used by the emperor's ladies are different. They are all made with fine workmanship, using high-quality cotton and high-grade spices. The finished product is fine and soft, moderately thick, and smooth to the touch, like silk satin.
And there is also a very noble name called 'holy paper'.
In fact, it’s still paper for wiping your butt!
