The banquet was exquisite. Yang Shixiang's family came from a prosperous land in Guangdong, and their experience in enjoyment was much higher than that of the local gentry and wealthy people. Recently, I have a lot of money, and my enjoyment has also increased. There were not many dishes on the banquet, but the dishes were exquisitely prepared. The wine was specially bought from the mainland, Lanling wine - this is a high-end wine often drunk by the wealthy people of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Shixiang asked the apprentice who was serving him to hot the wine and then beat him out. Only he and Liu San were left in the study - he had something urgent to talk to Liu San.
Since Yang Shixiang formed a sworn partnership with Liu San, his business has grown bigger and bigger, making money every day. Because of this, he paid more and more attention to the internal trends of the Cross-Travel Group. The Australians are not only his investors, major customers and technical guides, they are also essentially his backers. The success or failure of Australians also determines the prospects of Runshitang to some extent.
Liu San often comes to Runshitang because of the manufacturing and sales of proprietary Chinese medicines, but he rarely has the opportunity to sit down and chat casually to inquire about news.
Yang Shixiang is eager to know the details of the "maid **". This matter was not as secretive and airtight as the time-travelers imagined. In fact, within a few days, rumors came out that the Australians were quarreling among themselves over women. Some people even said that the reason for the commotion was that each of the leaders had dozens of wives, while the people below him had none. Some people say that Australians have no shortage of women, but they are fighting because everyone is jealous of a beautiful woman.
Yang Shixiang was very surprised by the news because he didn't expect Australians to be without women! One or two boats of refugees arrive at Bobu Port every ten days and a half, and there are many women among them. There are only a thousand Australians at best, so everyone can always get one.
His sworn brother Liu San had a wife. He even gave Wu Yunhua a special gift at the beginning, and was very impressed by the Australian woman's strength and momentum. He had a vague feeling that his sworn brother was probably a little henpecked.
After three drinks, Yang Shixiang finally asked about this matter in a vague way.
Liu Sanyi was startled. This matter had actually spread to the county town. It was true that good things did not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. He nodded slightly:
"true."
"What's the result?" Yang Shixiang asked quickly.
"Everyone is happy." Liu San didn't look happy at all when he said this, leaving Yang Shixiang confused.
"Looking at my brother, he doesn't look happy."
After Liu San drank several glasses of wine, he couldn't help but express his complaints about his girlfriend. Any man can understand such complaints.
"So it turns out that concubines are not allowed." Yang Shixiang looked at his sworn brother, thinking that this was nothing. He said, "What's so difficult about this? Since you're not allowed to marry back home, just buy another family property outside."
Liu Sanyi was startled, not expecting that he would make such a suggestion. He hesitated for a moment before shaking his head:
"No, it's not allowed to buy a house outside Bairen City right now. Besides-"
Besides, if my wife found out about such a daring act, she wouldn't immediately knock on her door and cause uproar throughout the city. Thinking of this, he felt that it was completely impossible.
Of course, there is no organization like the Women's Federation here to support Wu Yunhua. Not only are there few women in the time travel, but there is not much unity and harmony among them. If there is a real trouble, no one except Du Wen will help Wu Yunhua. flower. Liu San found that in terms of sexual relations, he could actually do whatever he wanted.
But if this really happened, the relationship between the two of them over the years would be completely destroyed, and Liu San couldn't bear it.
"Forget it, let me figure it out slowly." He said listlessly.
Yang Shixiang already had an idea: If Liu San really had this idea, his wife's relatives in Zhangzhou had recently crossed the sea to join him. There were several girls of the right age in the family, so it would not be difficult for one of them to come over and be Liu San's concubine.
Liu San was unwilling, and Yang Shixiang didn't mention it further. He was eager to know: Have any Australians been fatally affected by this commotion?
You must know that there are many rumors outside. Some say that the Australians are fighting among themselves, and corpses are everywhere in Bairen City; some say that the Australian leader held a Hongmen Banquet, deceived the troublemakers, threw cups as a sign, and set fire to the two compartments. Guns killed hundreds of people at once; some of the main leaders have all been killed, and now another group of people is in power...
There is one rumor that is particularly close to the truth: the Dongmen official who was in charge of Dongmen City made a rebellion against the leader and tried to rush into Bairen City with his men. Both sides fired guns at each other at the city gate. The Dongmen official was outnumbered. All were killed. Some people vividly said that gunfire rang out in Bairen City all night...
The natives were not very familiar with Dugu's proposal, so Zhang Guanli put it on Dongmen Chuiyu's head, and Dongmen Chuiyu's disappearance from Dongmen City after being transferred added to the credibility of the rumor.
When Liu San heard that the rumors outside were so powerful, he frowned - what does the General Administration of Political Security do for a living? Aren't these rumors seriously affecting the Wei Guangzheng image of the Chuan Chuan Group?
He had to spend a lot of effort to explain to Yang Shixiang: These are all rumors. As for the parade and the like, this kind of thing is nothing. Not only has the power of the crossing group not been damaged, it will become stronger after experiencing this storm.
For this reason, he had to explain the electoral system and the basic political system of the crossing group, so that his sworn brother would not understand.
After some explanations, Yang Shixiang felt at ease - he was not interested in the political system, but he knew from Liu San's words that this was just a "civil fight" and there was no big fight that would damage his vitality. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"That's because I was worrying too much. As long as it didn't hurt my vitality."
Liu San mentioned to him the plan to open new medicines again. He plans to start manufacturing two summer medicines, namely Ten Dishui and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, and also try to manufacture Fengyoujing. They are all urgently needed medicines in Kaiyulin.
Yang Shixiang was convinced of every new drug Liu San proposed to trial. Now the business of Chinese patent medicines is so good that he has to consider relocating the pharmaceutical factory from the city to the "Private Enterprise Park" outside Bairen City. Runshitang's factory is already too busy.
"Of course that's good." Liu Sanxiang originally had this plan. In the past, he kept the factory in Runshitang just for convenience. Now that you want to propose it yourself, that's the best thing.
"Now that I have some money in my hands, my brother wants to build a big workshop like yours in Australia! Let's do a great job." Yang Shixiang was extremely impressed by the Australian factories. After a few glasses of wine, he became a little excited. He was in a very happy mood recently: his cousin Yang Shiyi's attitude has changed greatly. Not only does he often write letters and give gifts, but he is also much more polite in his words - even sending him Liu Benshan, the old steward stationed in Foshan to take care of the business, was also very polite. Moreover, I have repeatedly expressed that I no longer need to use cash to purchase goods, and the credit limit can be increased. Yang Shixiang, who had been looked down upon by his relatives for many years, felt proud.
The impression that great things can be accomplished by cooperating with Australians has been deeply left in his mind. Now that I heard that the Australian's vitality is still intact, he still has to stay in Lingao, and he can still do great things with his sworn brother.
"Brother Yu wants to install your kind of machines in the factory," Yang Shixiang said. "Brother Yu went to the mill last time and saw your water mill. It was really fast and good. Everyone said that you Australians are the most ingenious. You can do about There’s also a machine for medicine, right?”
"Machines are indeed useful." Liu...tou said that he had long wanted to open a pharmaceutical factory that uses machine-assisted processing instead of manual operations like now. Now Runshitang employs more than 20 pharmaceutical workers, as well as A dozen casual workers and apprentices. If machinery is used to assist production, the number of personnel can be reduced by two-thirds. The labor saved can be used to expand reproduction.
An experienced pharmacist has been exposed to medicinal materials for a long time and is familiar with the properties and pharmacology of medicinal materials. It is obviously a waste for such talents to continue to do such simple manual labor.
"I don't know which machines I need?" Yang Shirun is very interested in machine production, but he has no idea what kind of machinery is needed to process medicinal materials.
"There are many machines, and there are various types." Liu San thought that he would have to apply himself. Equipment that makes drugs should get manufacturing priority. However, Runshitang is considered a joint venture. I wonder how the price will be determined? I have to make a foreshadowing first:
"The price may not be cheap."
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as it's easy to use - if you make money and put it away, you won't get any small money!" Yang Shixiang has money in his hands, but he can't help but sound like a playboy when he talks.
"If Brother wants to do this, I'll do it when I get back." Liu San was very excited. This is a typical example of cooperation between indigenous capitalists and the Cross-Travel Group. The people on the executive committee will definitely provide some policies for future publicity, and maybe even set up a "model".
If you become a positive example, everything will be easier to handle.
In fact, whether Runshitang can become a "typical" essentially has nothing to do with Liu San - Liu San is a nominal shareholder, and the real shareholder is the Cross Travel Group itself. But he still hopes that Runshitang can become bigger and stronger. Become a pharmaceutical giant in the new world.
The friendship between Liu San and Yang Shixiang was just for the purpose of strengthening cooperation. However, for more than half a year, he and Yang Shixiang have been discussing pharmacology, exchanging medical skills, and going out to purchase medicinal materials and run businesses together. The two have established a deep friendship. Moreover, his step-brother and his whole family are very caring to him, asking him about his welfare, just like a real family member. This made Liu San feel warm. He would naturally pay attention to the interests of this sworn brother.
"Here's Brother Lao Xian." Yang Shixiang said excitedly, "I'll take care of Manager Liu and find some more workers from Foshan -"
Liu Benshan is now the manager of Runshitang in Foshan, taking charge of the affairs of Runshitang in Guangdong. v! ~!
