Ye Haoran relaxed for a long time before accepting his current identity again.
I was an old man just a moment ago, but I regained my youth in the blink of an eye. This process does require a little buffering time.
Those distant memories also return here.
Living a perfect life with his beloved wife and concubine made Ye Haoran satisfied, but at the same time, he missed her deeply.
After living together for so many years, how can we say that we can just let go of each other?
After resting for a while, I had time to look around.
A room full of antique charm, solid wood furniture and an Eight Immortals table placed in the middle. The porcelain pot with a top on the table looks a bit dated.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
And the curtain bed he was sitting on now.
There is a strong atmosphere of the Republic of China everywhere.
"Master, it's time to eat. Grandmas are still waiting for you."
A flattering voice came from outside the door, accompanied by slight footsteps.
"Grandmas? I have several wives?" Ye Haoran was a little confused.
Although his heart was full of doubts, he still said: "Wait a minute, we'll get up."
After saying that, I started looking for clothes. After searching for a long time, I only found a long gown and coat, which confirmed the Republic of China.
Ye Haoran put on his clothes and walked out while buttoning the cloth.
"Master, I have an appointment with someone to discuss business this afternoon, so it's better to have dinner early."
"Um."
Ye Haoran didn't say anything. He was the best at talking about business and never made a loss.
After leaving the door and looking around, I saw a medium-sized manor with only two floors at the top. Several houses could be seen at a glance.
In this era, it was not considered a wealthy residence, but it was much higher than the grassroots society.
The two walked to the main hall, where six people were sitting in front of the large round table.
She wasn't his wife at all, but his father's aunts, four aunts and two little babies.
There was no sign of Dad on the table, except for one of the two little dolls, he was the only man.
Ye Haoran didn't say anything, just sat down and started eating.
Seeing Ye Haoran move quickly, the rest of the family started to eat. They didn't say anything after eating. It seemed that the tutor was quite strict.
After eating, Ye Haoran still said nothing, and the concubines seemed not to be surprised.
Ye Haoran was bored and wandered around the house, wanting to learn more about the current situation.
From the photos and some information, Ye Haoran finally understood his situation.
It is now the second year of the Republic of China, that is, 1913.
Ever since the Tatars were ousted from power and ran away two years ago, major events have happened one after another.
Many major events also happened this year. Yuan Datou became president, the founding father returned to the country to overthrow Yuan, and domestic warlords fought in a melee.
It was such a chaotic period that my father died of a business rival.
The family is in the fabric business, and being in the big city of Shanghai, the competition is very fierce, and even if you accidentally fall into the business, your body will be wiped out.
My mother was the eldest son, and she left with my father soon after, leaving Ye Haoran with a bad fortune.
I also have to help my father raise a concubine.
It's not that these concubines have a good relationship with their father. In these days, it's really difficult for a woman to live a good life. If she stays here, she can at least have food and drink. If she really leaves the Ye family, it will be difficult to marry into a good family based on the age of the concubines.
After figuring out the ins and outs, Ye Haoran fell into a headache.
There is no problem in doing business normally, but this kind of death or assassination is something that ordinary people can't bear.
It's nonsense to think that Xiao Fu will be safe, and he won't be able to live anywhere in two years.
If you want to live a good life, you must either have money or power, or you must have both power and money.
The concubines all returned to the house and gathered together to chat.
Ye Haoran was the only one left in the main hall.
"Master, we are here, can I invite you over?"
Ye Haoran nodded and said nothing, looking at the servant's back and lost in thought.
This is an old man, not very old. He grew up in the Ye family since he was a child. He was bought by Ye Haoran's mother. His name is Defu, but he has no surname.
He is a few years older than Ye Haoran, in his early 20s, and has quick hands and feet, but he looks a bit wretched and doesn't look like a good person.
After a while, Defu came in with two people, one with a big belly and the other arrogant and domineering. At first glance, they looked like a typical powerful father and son.
Ye Haoran didn't get up. The person coming was the enemy of the Ye family.
The one who comes is not good.
"Long time no see, nephew Ye Xian, could you please come in?"
Sun Caifu is also engaged in the fabric business. He does a lot of shipping business from the north to the south. He has a lot of money, but this man only cares about money.
Ye Haoran had reason to suspect that it was Sun Caifu who was behind this.
When I am gone, he comes to bully orphans and widowed mothers.
Seeing that Ye Haoran didn't say anything, Sun Caifu's silly son shouted: "We have nothing else to do here. Your family is left with an orphan and a widowed mother. You can't make any more fabrics. Why don't you just give it to our Sun family? It's considered that we know each other so well." Please give me a helping hand."
Ye Haoran stared at the two people for a moment, and suddenly smiled on his silent face.
He said very politely: "Uncle Sun, come and sit down. The business is easy to discuss. Let's have a cup of tea first and then talk."
He turned to Defu and ordered: "Hurry up and serve tea."
Defu was worried about Ye Haoran being impulsive and kept staring at Ye Haoran, feeling a little stupid when he saw this scene.
"Hey, come here."
"Uncle Sun, please sit down."
After the tea was served, Ye Haoran said: "Uncle Sun, you also know that the family is in decline and my father died young. I am afraid that this business will not be successful, and I will need more help from my uncle."
"It's easy to say, my nephew is polite."
Sun Caifu felt that Ye Haoran was stupider than his son, so he dealt with it casually.
Ye Haoran showed a sad face again and said: "The factory can give it to you, let alone sell it to you. It's just a pity that we have just established a relationship."
Sun Caifu didn't take it seriously, thinking that Ye Haoran was just talking nonsense, so he responded casually: "What's the relationship?"
Ye Haoran pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "Oh, you don't know yet, my father has opened up the sea transportation and is going to ship fabrics to the Americans. The profit is five times the return. If my father hadn't left early, he wouldn't have As for living in this kind of house."
Sun Caifu's hand holding the tea cup paused, and his eyes instantly lit up, looking at Ye Haoran with a faint green light like a wolf.
"My dear nephew, since you are not going to start a fabric business, why not leave your relationship to me? You can set the price as you like."
Sun Caifu's profits were calculated based on the percentage of goods sold, and a business trip might only be a 30% to 40% business.
The shipping that Ye Haoran mentioned was based on doubling the profit. Sun Caifu couldn't help but be tempted by five times the profit. In his opinion, Ye Haoran was just a brat, and he couldn't even say such nonsense.
Hearing Sun Caifu's greedy words, Ye Haoran shook his head: "It's not that simple. The U.S. Customs requires paperwork. If you don't have the paperwork, your goods can't get in. Even if your goods are loaded onto the ship, they will be detained when they get there."
Sun Caifu was naturally anxious because he couldn't make money in this way, so he hurriedly asked: "My dear nephew, is there anything you can do to help your uncle? The benefits will be yours."
Ye Haoran pretended to be in trouble and said: "It's not impossible. The shipment must be shipped in the name of the Ye family before the paperwork can be issued."
"This is not simple. We are a joint stock company. How about you give us the Ye family factory and I give you 10% of the shares?"
Ye Haoran's eyes flashed and he immediately smiled and said, "Is this appropriate?"
"It's suitable. If there's anything inappropriate, that's it. Sign it immediately."
Sun Caifu's impatient look made Ye Haoran feel ridiculous.
