Xu Sheng really felt that he was almost like Tang Monk.
Here, the girls in Yanyun Tower covet his body!
Outside, vested interests in the painting world are coveting the huge profits from his sketches!
Here, for these girls, after Xu Sheng politely refuses, they will not rush up and knock Xu Sheng down.
Outside, to the vested interests in the painting world, after Xu Sheng politely refused, they would rush up and forcefully tear Xu Sheng into pieces.
Therefore, Xu Sheng, the Tang Monk, does nothing but paint these days.
I am still observing and collecting information about each of my potential cooperation targets based on some lists given by Chun's mother.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Sheng had been staying in Yanyun Tower for half a month.
He finally completed the big order in the building.
A total of 200,000 copper coins were earned.
That is two hundred taels of silver.
Five thousand copper coins is equivalent to ten thousand yuan.
That is an income equivalent to 400,000 RMB.
Two weeks, income of 400,000!
Including the previous dozens of taels, Xu Sheng's assets now have reached more than two hundred taels.
The reason why the income from this transaction is slightly higher is because it is not just income from painting.
Part of it was Xu Sheng's reward for chatting with the brothel girls in order to collect target information from his prospective partners, but was treated as a heart-to-heart talk and then treated as a confidant.
Xu Sheng didn't do anything special.
He just doesn't have a sperm, and he is willing to listen to their chatter about all kinds of gossip, and then he is regarded as a confidant by them.
Not only did he get all the information he wanted, Xu Sheng also got a lot of reward money!
Of course Xu Sheng understands that what he outputs is emotional value.
Just like the girls used their bodies to caress the bodies of the male guests and gained money.
Unconsciously, he also used his pure heart to soothe the girls' hearts and gain money.
Although he is not actually pure, on the contrary, he is greedier than many men!
He wants to get many women and have many, many children!
But he, who believed that mating without the purpose of reproduction was meaningless, became extremely pure in front of these girls.
Has a halo as pure as an angel.
He deserves the money!
Of course, before leaving, Xu Sheng, led by Chun's mother, came to a room in Yanyun Building.
"Liang Dutou, I am Xu Sheng, a painter! I have something I want to talk to you about. Could you please give me some time for a cup of tea?"
Xu Sheng cupped his hands and said.
The person he was talking to was the captain of the Qingyang City’s Yamen police force.
His name is Liang Yikun.
"Painter? I have long heard that a painter with amazing painting skills has recently appeared in Qingyang City. But, what do you want from me?"
Liang Yikun is tall and bearded. He is holding a girl in his arms.
Seeing Xu Sheng come in, he didn't look embarrassed at all.
After all, this is not the earth, and there is no such thing as online exposure.
Even with his status, he can engage in prostitution with confidence, without worrying about any negative repercussions. Besides, brothels are still legal here.
"These fifty taels are my sincerity. The thing is like this..."
Xu Sheng explained his intention.
The main thing is of course to seek protection.
He only asks for a level playing field in the market!
For this reason, he directly gave away fifty taels!
Later, he also expressed his willingness to donate 30% of the profits from the subsequent painting business.
Liang Yikun is the head of the capital!
So many years in Qingyang City!
Protecting a painter is easy!
Although Xu Sheng cut off 30% of the profit at once!
But if Liang Yikun can protect him, Xu Sheng's safety can be ensured!
Money is meant to be earned!
But you must ensure that there is a life flower!
I haven’t found a wife yet!
The child was not born!
The Book of Eternity is not needed yet!
Xu Sheng must be cautious!
Compared to safety!
Compared to gaining eternal life.
Give up a little money temporarily!
No need to worry.
I have a background and a backer!
This painting business can only last long.
With this source of financial stability, even if it is only 70% profit!
It is completely enough for Xu Sheng to truly gain a foothold in Qingyang City!
In such a quasi-ancient world, it is absolutely impossible without a background.
The status of businessmen is indeed lower than that of officials!
But in this life, Xu Sheng could not take the imperial examination and follow the official route.
He doesn't have the foundation and strength to read the Four Books and Five Classics!
Now Xu Sheng goes to study the Four Books and Five Classics to take the imperial examination, which is equivalent to the ancient people coming to the modern world and competing with modern people to learn English, physics, chemistry and other subjects.
How can you survive?
Do you think people in ancient times were stupid?
Many people look stupid because they put all their intelligence and energy into something.
Such as scientific researchers.
The same goes for ancient nerds.
Many people have read the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood!
Among them are some extremely smart people!
They may be a bit imbecile and novice in their daily life!
But when it comes to the Four Books and Five Classics, modern people cannot match them.
How can Xu Sheng compare with these people?
No way!
In the future, if the eternal life is completely obtained!
After countless reincarnations!
That's something you can consider.
It took one or two lifetimes to start studying and prepare for the imperial examination since childhood.
Become an official after high school and take the official route!
But in this life, Xu Sheng didn't have that energy either.
His strategy is to directly take out things from the earth and use the natural advantages of time travelers to reduce dimensions and attack the business of this world!
Became a business giant in one fell swoop.
Then use wealth to let many women give birth to children for him!
Let’s talk about getting eternal life for sure first.
"Your paintings are indeed famous in Qingyang City."
Liang Yikun looked at Xu Sheng for a while. He did not agree directly, but said: "But even though a painting costs five hundred coppers, so many people still buy it. But your painting skills are unique, and one person's energy will eventually..."
"As long as you give me a fair competitive environment, I will swallow up the entire Qingyang City market!"
Xu Sheng smiled lightly and said: "We will even develop to other cities in the future. The profit of a Qingyang City may not be that big, but how many Qingyang cities are there in the whole world? And in the future, I will teach the painting skills of sketching to those who trust me." People are sent to various cities to seize wealth! It is impossible for me to do everything myself..."
"really?"
Liang Yikun was shocked by Xu Sheng's confidence: "Aren't you afraid that your sketching skills will be leaked?"
"it's not a big deal."
Xu Sheng chuckled: "This is just one of the small ways I can make money. When this is done, I will have capital in hand, and I will have many other ways to better make more money."
"That's not a bad tone, young man."
Liang Yikun looked at Xu Sheng, pondered for a while and asked, "How long will it take for you to be able to swallow up the painting business in Qingyang City?"
"As long as half a year."
Xu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "As short as three months."
"Young people are confident enough."
Liang Yikun shook his head and said: "Okay, I will play with you! But apart from protecting you and giving you a fair environment, I will not help you with anything else!"
"That's enough!"
Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Nothing else is needed."
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
this day.
Xu Sheng left Yanyun Tower.
Soon he was entertained by old-school painters.
Xu Sheng became famous in Yanyun Tower, and they could no longer sit still.
Xu Sheng sat at a wine table.
The person who entertained him was the owner of the largest painting boat in Qingyang City, Pan's Painting Boat.
Pan Jiang, an old man with a slightly rickety mustache.
"So you want to invite me to join your painting boat, and you want to buy out my sketching skills for one thousand taels?" Xu Sheng was a little stunned.
He knew that because of the sudden emergence of his new painting skills and the spread of Yanyun Tower, it would definitely conflict with the financial resources of some old painters.
But he never thought that Pan Jiang would go so far.
If Xu Sheng hadn't taken advantage of Liang Yikun yet, he might have endured it and just sold his sketching skills.
But now of course he refused.
"Young man, the painting business in Qingyang City is too deep for you to grasp!"
Pan Jiang stroked his mustache and said, "This price is not low! Think carefully!"
"So I can't control it, so I should let you, Uncle Pan, take control?"
Xu Sheng smiled and said, "What a pity, I'm not a gazi."
"In Qingyang City, I have the final say on painting matters!"
Pan Jiang obviously didn't understand Xu Sheng's joke. He just said coldly again: "Don't wait until one day, you suddenly can't draw. For example, if there is something wrong with your hands, your 'sketch' skills will be directly affected." If it is lost, that would be bad!”
