Chen Ziyu originally planned to write a letter to Zhang Mao on the spot.
However, Zhang Maoyi rejected it righteously, on the grounds that the British Duke's and Jiang Bo's mansions were the best of the whole family, and there was no need to use these vulgar things to maintain trust.
Having said that, Chen Ziyu also planned to let it go. Anyway, he had no intention of defaulting on the debt. Exchanging half of the shares for the British company to join may seem like a bit of a loss, but in the long run, it will definitely make a huge profit!
"His Royal Highness, Nephew Chen Xian, do you know when this product will be launched on the market?"
Zhang Mao became a shareholder, so he naturally became concerned about the most important issue.
Chen Ziyu originally planned to wait for the birthday of the Queen Mother and did not dare to say anything. He just found a reason and said that the time was not mature enough. However, he then thought that he could use the power of the British government to promote it among the princes and ministers.
"Shibo, my aunt and several sisters-in-law can spread the soap news among their own women's circles. This way, it will definitely cause a sensation when the soap goes on the market."
Zhang Mao's eyes lit up, and he patted Chen Ziyu on the back of the head with joy, and praised: "You are still smart, kid. In this case, you can send some samples over tomorrow, I will let everyone in the family come to promote it."
Chen Ziyu was stunned by this sudden slap!
"Shibo, don't make your nephew look stupid!"
He looked at Zhang Mao sadly, but Zhang Mao stared at him so hard that he didn't dare to continue!
In fact, Zhang Mao was right about one thing. He and Chen Rui had a very close relationship. Otherwise, he would not have thought that after Chen Ziyu angered Emperor Hongzhi, he would immediately go to the Chen family to lend a helping hand!
"I'll know what you're going to do as soon as you stick your ass up. Stop pretending to me. I'm not doting on you like your father!"
After saying that, he shook his sandbag-sized fist!
Chen Ziyu was speechless for a moment!
Zhu Houzhao on the side was holding his stomach and laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up. Lao Chen, who had never suffered any loss, was actually manipulated by the British father. This was something he never expected!
"It's true that one thing brings another down. I didn't expect that Lao Chen, who is usually fearless, would also have such a scene. Hahaha, I am laughing so hard!"
"..."
Chen Ziyu took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, let's go back to the workshop if nothing happens!"
Before Zhu Houzhao could speak, Zhang Mao on the side nodded repeatedly, "Boy, I will also go to the workshop with you and His Royal Highness to have a look! By the way, let me go with you to get familiar with it!"
Just when Chen Ziyu wanted to refuse, Zhu Houzhao immediately agreed. He seemed to want to see Chen Ziyu deflated.
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao agreed, Chen Ziyu said nothing more. The prince's face must be given!
Zhang Mao quickly ordered his servants to find Zhang Xin!
Zhang Mao, the second son, has endless worries. The family's title and property have nothing to do with him. Now he can only do some business in his own shadow. It will be good to be a rich man in the future.
If you are lucky enough to have an idle job, that would be even better!
Zhang Mao himself was able to inherit the title of Duke of England due to various coincidences. If his eldest brother had not been lame and unable to inherit the title, it would not have been his turn as a bastard.
Therefore, Zhang Mao knew very well how miserable those second sons and concubines who had no inheritance rights were, and he did not want this to happen to his sons.
After a while, a dark-skinned man in his mid-twenties came to the front hall, saluted Zhang Mao and said, "I've met my father!"
"Xin'er, come and meet His Highness the Crown Prince and your nephew Ziyu from Uncle Chen's family!"
Zhang Mao pointed to Chen Ziyu and Zhu Houzhao and said to Zhang Xin.
Ordinary people would at least have a reaction when they learned that the prince was coming, but this dear friend of Zhang Xin did not seem to see any change in his face. He just came to Zhu Houzhao and bowed.
"I've met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I've met Brother Ziyu!"
Perhaps Zhang Mao saw the confusion between the two of them, and said with a wry smile: "Xin'er is not stupid, he is very smart, he just has a simple and honest personality!"
Zhu Houzhao and Chen Ziyu looked at each other, can such honest people do business?
However, this is all we can do now, and we will raise and resolve problems when they arise.
After the group left the British government residence, they headed straight to the western suburbs workshop without stopping.
A few people were talking and laughing along the way, but the second child of the Zhang family still looked dull, but Chen Ziyu noticed that there was a little brightness in Zhang Xin's eyes.
Maybe it's like what Zhang Mao said, he is just restrained.
After arriving at the workshop in the western suburbs, even though he was a well-informed British citizen, he couldn't help but admire him when he saw such a workshop for the first time.
"Your Majesty is so clever! Not only can this solve the problem of refugees, but it can also establish such a workshop!"
Standing at the door of the workshop, Zhang Mao sighed sincerely as he watched the handymen coming and going, one warehouse after another.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said unabashedly: "This is only a small part of the Zhang Qing family. In addition to the soap workshop, I and Lao Chen also plan to build some other workshops in the future. Come, I will take you in to see Look!"
Chen Ziyu glanced at Zhu Houzhao with disgust, he really couldn't hold any more oil in his stomach!
Then he started to show off wherever he went!
In fact, this is no wonder Zhu Houzhao, mainly because since learning about these things, he has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to show off!
In the past, he could show off to Liu Jin and others, but now it seems that Liu Jin knows more than him!
I finally caught the opportunity today, so I naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to show off.
Zhang Mao was so flattered that he bowed and thanked Zhu Houzhao. Then he ignored Chen Ziyu and followed Zhu Houzhao to the workshop.
Zhang Xin behind him didn't know when he took out a pen and paper, lowering his head from time to time to write down a few sentences!
It looks very much like the secretary who took notes in meetings in later generations!
After Chen Ziyu gave Yang Huan a few instructions to protect the prince's safety, he directly found a clean place to relax for a while.
It looks like he hasn't been sleeping for a long time and doesn't plan to get up!
...
In Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was drinking the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup that had just been delivered to him while listening to Xiao Jing whispering something in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened!"
Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and asked suspiciously: "Why did the Crown Prince and Ziyu go to the British Duke's Mansion?"
"I don't know this slave. Please give me some time. I will definitely find out!"
"No!"
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and continued: "The British prince is the humerus of the country. Since he went to the workshop, it must be related to the workshop. I can ask Ziyu personally later!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Jing replied respectfully.
