Looking at Ran Fang's sly eyes, Ying Zheng knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Moreover, he also knew that this was probably Ran Fang's ultimate goal.
Now Ran Fang's business in Xianyang City includes Liuguang Pavilion and tea shop, which are all profitable businesses. Even part of Ran Fang's business has been turned over to the state treasury.
But if Ran Fang said that he had no money, Ying Zheng would definitely not believe it.
Just now, Ran Fang said that he wanted him to invest in the company, probably just to give himself a chance to make money. The most important thing is that he was also showing his sincerity. He really had no intention of secretly channeling all his money.
With Ran Fang's help during this period, the treasury was somewhat fuller, but compared to where the money was spent, it was still somewhat inadequate.
Now that Ran Fang has put the opportunity in front of him, he will naturally not let it go.
"Since you have this intention, I will accept it."
"It is inconvenient for me to take action on this matter myself. When the time comes, you and Zhang Han will discuss it together, and I will let him take charge of this matter."
Ran Fang nodded silently, as long as he achieved his goal, he didn't care at all about who would take care of this matter.
"Here."
After talking about the important things, the two of them watched the people coming and going in the library for a while.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ying Zheng stood up and said, "Since there is nothing to do, I will go back to the palace."
"I will come to the palace in a few days to talk to you."
Ran Fang got up his luggage and said respectfully: "Here."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
As for whether to go to the palace to accompany Ying Zheng, Ran Fang didn't feel the slightest joy, and he didn't think that was a good thing.
After Ying Zheng led the people to leave, Liu Bang stepped forward and asked with some confusion: "Sir, why do you want to cooperate with your Majesty on the breakfast business?"
"If you feel that there are not enough manpower, you can ask Mr. Gu to find some people in the city to do it."
"As long as you open your mouth, there will definitely be many people willing to follow you."
"Now that I leave the matter to Master Zhang Han, doesn't this mean that I am putting my own handle in Master Zhang's hands?"
Ran Fang looked at him with a smile on his lips. He picked up a fried dough stick from the cup and put it in his mouth, then took another sip of soy milk, feeling very satisfied.
This is food. What was he eating in prison before?
Liu Bang stood aside and didn't look anxious at all. Instead, he looked at the food on the table seriously, and was thinking about the meaning of Ran Fang's move.
After eating a fried dough stick, Ran Fang put down his chopsticks.
"What is the most profitable business in Xianyang City today?"
Without thinking, Liu Bang straightened his back and replied with a somewhat proud look: "Of course it's your lord's Liuguang Pavilion and Master Gu's tea shop."
"However, the Gu family's salt industry is also very powerful."
Hearing this, Ran Fang nodded, but his face did not look as proud as Liu Bang's, and even showed some worry.
His eyes swept through Liu Bang's eyes, and then he said: "Yes, the salt industry is the business of the Gu family and His Majesty, so there is no problem."
"But the matter of Liuguang Pavilion and the tea shop is no longer a secret in the city, and your Majesty will naturally know about it."
"Although His Majesty hasn't said anything now, he will inevitably think more about it as time goes by."
"If it ends up being like the salt industry, then what's the point of doing all that?"
After hearing what he said, Liu Bang understood.
It seems that being with Ying Zheng is not an easy task.
"I still have one thing that I don't understand. Since you are worried that Your Majesty will know about this matter, you can just do it privately instead of telling him about it. Why should you tell Your Majesty?"
"And your Majesty also wants to taste it himself?"
Ran Fang didn't even look at him, but simply said: "Without Your Majesty as a sign, who would believe me?"
After saying that, he straightened his clothes and left.
Liu Bang was left standing alone, thinking about the meaning of Ran Fang's words.
After a while, he understood that just like the Liuguang Pavilion and the tea shop, people didn't think those things were good at first. It was only when they heard that Ying Zheng was eating and using them that someone went over to buy them. .
Later I thought it was good, so I kept buying it.
Moreover, he also went to the glass factory to see those things. In his opinion, those things are very easy to make and are easy to break. If someone hadn't said that His Majesty also used them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so attracted to those things made of glass. It can't be sold at such a high price.
"Sir, you are indeed smart!"
"It seems that I still have to study hard with adults in the future."
…
Ran Fang guessed that Ying Zheng would be very concerned about the breakfast shop, but he didn't expect to care so much.
Looking at Zhang Han sitting in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the money was really good.
Less than an hour after he returned from the library, Zhang Han came to visit him in person. He was really dedicated.
"Sir Zhang Han, your Majesty must have told you what happened here today."
"I wonder what you think about this matter?"
In fact, Zhang Han didn't know what happened. When he was still working in the Yamen, he heard from his subordinates that someone from His Majesty wanted to see him.
Without thinking, he went directly to the palace to see His Majesty.
As a result, His Majesty asked him to come find Ran Fang and let him cooperate with Ran Fang to do business, or some kind of breakfast shop business.
Ying Zheng didn't say anything else, so he just asked him to look for Ran Fang. Now that he was asked by Ran Fang, he actually still didn't react.
Because he got along well with Ran Fang before, his attitude towards Ran Fang was also good and he was more polite when speaking.
"To be fair to the commander, I don't know anything about this matter."
"Your Majesty said that the commander has studied some new breakfasts, including fried dough sticks, soy milk, fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, etc."
"That's why I was asked to discuss with the commander in detail the matter of setting up a breakfast shop."
"I have no experience or understanding of this matter, so I will just listen to the command. Just say what you say. If there is anything you need me to do, just ask."
Although he didn't understand the matter, his attitude was very sincere, and Ran Fang was still satisfied.
Originally, Zhang Han was asked to intervene just for Ying Zheng's sake.
Now that Zhang Han knows how to advance and retreat, Ran Fang is quite satisfied.
"Okay, bring some workers here tomorrow, and I'll tell you to make some kitchen utensils, and bring a few cooks to learn the early cooking methods."
"It doesn't matter if you bring more. What I want to do is not just a business of one or two breakfast shops, but to expand this breakfast business to all places in Guandong, and finally to the entire Daqin."
"Open the first Daqin chain breakfast shop! By then, you will be the biggest boss of this shop."
"If you don't have time management, I don't have a problem with finding someone close to you to do it, but I want to see real results."
Seeing the excited look in Ran Fang's eyes, Zhang Han couldn't help but be a little infected.
Although he is a military commander, he also likes these business matters, otherwise he would not be so close to the Gu family.
However, there was something he still didn't understand.
"What does chain mean?"
Ran Fang thought for a while and explained: "The chain opens an identical store in various places with the same name."
"But we don't have to look for everyone. If someone wants to open a shop, give us some money, and we can use the name and help to train chefs, and then we can open the shop directly."
"Everyone can do it, as long as they are willing to make money, give them a chance."
