In the evening, as the sun set through the window, Zhao Junchen took Xu Qingyan and rushed to Tianhai Tower for the banquet.
Lifting the curtains next to the sedan, Zhao Junchen looked at the lively scenery along the way with great interest.
As the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the most favored place for the emperor, it is bustling and lively, with people from all over the world gathering together, and it brings together all the unique features of this era. It would be quite interesting to have a leisurely visit.
Unfortunately, since Zhao Junchen returned to the capital, things happened one after another and he never had a chance.
"When everything is settled, you can probably dress casually and have some fun in the capital. These days, I'm either busy with government affairs, or busy with intrigues with others, or it's the affairs of Yuerongfang. I don't have even a moment to spare, and I'm very annoyed. It’s time to relax.”
Zhao Junchen thought secretly.
While Zhao Junchen was thinking secretly, Xu Qingyan, who was following the sedan, suddenly said: "Master, Tianhai Tower has arrived."
While talking, the sedan has landed, Xu Qingyan opened the curtain of the sedan, and Zhao Junchen walked out slowly.
Looking up, I saw that Tianhai Tower was quite busy today. There were no less than thirty or fifty carriages and sedans parked around, and there were nearly a hundred people waiting outside Tianhai Tower, most of them were luxuriously dressed and well-looking.
These people were all invited by Zhao Junchen. They were either powerful businessmen from the capital or representatives of Huizhou and Shanxi merchants in the capital. In a certain sense, they were all big shots that no one dared to look down upon. The amount of money that can be used in his hands is often one hundred thousand taels. He has close relationships with high-ranking officials in the DPRK, has wide connections, and has amazing potential power.
But at this time, they were waiting respectfully outside Tianhai Tower. Although they were crowded together, they were not impatient at all. Instead, everyone showed eagerness. Because there were so many people, the intersection outside Tianhai Tower was blocked.
Zhao Junchen knew that although his status was not low, the reason why these people were so diligent and respectful was mostly because of the bait he threw.
The bait is not the fish, but the profit that the fish can bring.
For these businessmen, money is the only thing that can bring them to their knees.
Therefore, after seeing Zhao Junchen stepping out of the sedan, the expressions of all the businessmen were filled with enthusiasm, as if it was not Zhao Junchen who stepped out of the sedan, but a God of Wealth. They all walked toward Zhao Junchen as quickly as possible. Junchen greeted him and at the same time introduced his identity in the loudest voice.
On weekdays, these businessmen have friendships with each other and are different in strength and weakness, but at this moment, they no longer care about the friendship in the past. They are scrambling and pulling each other, just to grab the front position and be able to win. Saying a few more words with Zhao Junchen can leave more impression on Zhao Junchen.
"Ruihe Shang's luggage and coffin are in safe condition. I've seen Mr. Zhao!"
"How are you, Mr. Zhao! I am Xu De, the shopkeeper of Taixiang Trading Company..."
"Master Zhao, Futai Trading Company wishes to send you its regards. Although my general manager is far away in Anhui, I have always admired you..."
Looking at the swarming crowd in front of him, the noisy greetings, and the chaotic scene, Zhao Junchen felt a little dizzy. In desperation, he could only raise his hands and press them to signal everyone to be quiet, and at the same time express his feelings with a slight frown. dissatisfied.
Seeing Zhao Junchen's movements and expressions, the businessmen realized that they had lost their grace and finally calmed down slowly.
In fact, this is no wonder for them. In the past few days, the soap business of "Yue Rong Fang" has made them jealous. Although they still don't know the exact profit of "Yue Rong Fang", they all know that this is definitely a business. A business that makes a lot of money every day! After learning that Zhao Junchen invited them to get together this time, it was for the purpose of selling pancakes. How could they calm down when they thought of the wasted money?
In front of money, the so-called politeness is not important at all.
On the other side, seeing that the businessmen finally calmed down, Zhao Junchen also regained his calm smile, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you all for giving me face, for being invited and gathering here, but this is really not the place to talk, everyone. How about following me to Tianhai Tower for a detailed discussion?"
Naturally, all the businessmen did not dare to refuse, and they all supported Zhao Junchen and walked towards Tianhai Tower.
As for Zhao Junchen's long-term follower Xu Qingyan, at this time, he was pushed aside by the over-enthusiastic businessmen and could not get closer.
………
After entering Tianhai Tower, Zhao Junchen and the businessmen exchanged polite greetings and sat down with each other.
In order to entertain these businessmen this time, Zhao Junchen booked the entire Tianhai Tower and set up several tables for the banquet. Although there were many seats, there were more visitors and the seats were packed.
After taking their seats, the businessmen became quiet. They all looked at Zhao Junchen quietly, waiting with expectation and eagerness for Zhao Junchen's next speech.
Looking at the expressions of the businessmen, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, raised his glass, stood up, and was about to say something.
However, as Zhao Junchen stood up, all the businessmen did not dare to sit down anymore and stood up one after another, waiting for Zhao Junchen's instructions.
Seeing everyone's attentive and respectful look, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but smile and said: "Everyone, please sit down. Today is just a private banquet for me. You don't have to follow the rules like this. You can just do whatever you want. What's more, with everyone acting like this, I It’s hard for me to talk, so please sit down."
Seeing that Zhao Junchen said this and insisted on his attitude, the businessmen had no choice but to be polite and take their seats.
After Zhao Junchen waited for everyone to sit down, he continued: "I think everyone already knows the purpose of inviting you to the banquet today. Not long ago, when I was reading ancient books, I accidentally discovered a prescription. , the thing made according to that recipe is called pancreas. Its function is similar to that of saponin, but the effect is much stronger. Feeling that the government's financial situation is currently difficult, I dedicated this pancreas to your majesty. And in Under His Majesty's decree, this soap is now exclusively made by the inner treasury and handed over to merchants from all over the world for exclusive sale. Thanks to His Majesty's trust, Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to my own authority."
As soon as Zhao Junchen finished speaking, a group of businessmen seized the opportunity and praised him one after another.
"Master Zhao is dedicated to serving the country. He is really a role model for everyone in Zhangji Trading Company."
"Mr. Zhao's loyalty and patriotism really makes us admire and feel ashamed. Mr. Zhao, if you have any use for our Ruihe Trading Company, just say hello. Our Ruihe Trading Company will never Dodge.”
"Mr. Zhao, it is the duty of us businessmen to take care of the country, not to mention that you, Mr. Zhao, are personally presiding over this matter? I haven't mentioned it yet. I, Futai Trading Company, can take care of the whole business of selling soap. How much money do you need? , Mr. Zhao, just give me a price."
"Mr. Zhao, our general shopkeeper Guo Linxiang once had a close relationship with you in Lu'an Mansion. As early as half a month ago, our general shopkeeper wrote a letter to tell you that if anything happens to you, Mr. Zhao, our Guo Family Trading Firm will fully cooperate with you. .”
In the midst of the commotion, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and raised his hand again. After the businessmen calmed down again, Zhao Junchen continued: "You are all the leaders of businessmen from all over the world. You have sufficient strength and rich capital. I am hosting a banquet for you today. It’s because of the exclusive sales of this soap.”
Hearing Zhao Junchen talk about the main topic, the businessmen did not interrupt anymore. They just stared at Zhao Junchen, eagerly waiting for Zhao Junchen's next words.
After Zhao Junchen paused, he continued: "I believe you all already know the specific effects and various grades of this soap, so I won't repeat it here. I have made an estimate. If this soap is handed over to the inner treasury, Specially made, it can be produced on a large scale in less than a month. The most common pancakes can be produced at least 8 million pieces per year, and the higher-grade fragrant pandan can be produced at least 1.5 million pieces per year. As for the The highest-end medicinal pancreas, due to inputs and raw materials, can only produce about 20,000 pieces per year."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, a group of businessmen secretly calculated and found that although the amount of pancreatic juice that the inner treasury could produce seemed to be huge, in fact, the population of the Ming Dynasty was no less than ten million, even if it was only one-tenth of the population. If one could afford the use of soap, the amount of soap that could be produced in the inner bank was far from enough. What's more, this soap was still a daily consumable. Even if it was more durable than soap locust, each person would still need at least two pieces per year.
what does that mean? This means demand exceeds supply!
And what does supply exceed demand mean? It means a guaranteed profit without loss!
Thinking of this, the businessmen looked at Zhao Junchen even more eagerly.
Zhao Junchen noticed the gazes of the merchants, smiled slightly, and then said: "What I mean is that there are only so many supplies. In order to avoid future confusion and competition, tomorrow, the Ministry of Household Affairs will hold an auction for ordinary pancreas. The seeds are divided into a batch of 50,000 yuan, the fragrant pancreas is divided into a batch of 5,000 yuan, and the medicinal pancreas is divided into a batch of 500 yuan. They are auctioned in batches. Everyone bids by themselves, and the one with the highest price wins. In this way, after a month, the pancreas will be sold in a batch. Once the pieces are produced, everyone can take turns picking up the goods according to the proportion and order of the auction proceeds."
Having said this, Zhao Junchen took a look around the crowd and saw that all the merchants had lost their commotion just now. They all looked thoughtful, as if they were thinking about the pros and cons of this method, and all of them were silent.
However, Zhao Junchen did not discuss the idea with everyone, and just said: "If you don't object, then it will be settled like this. After the banquet, everyone will go back to prepare. At noon tomorrow, just go to the Hubu Yamen to bid. "
As he spoke, Zhao Junchen raised his wine glass slightly, gestured to everyone, took a sip, and then sat down on his own.
Facing Zhao Junchen's signal, all the businessmen stood up to drink with Zhao Junchen, but most of them did not speak, just thinking about their own thoughts.
Zhao Junchen's method of auctioning sources of goods was quite novel for businessmen of this era, but they had to consider whether this approach could guarantee their own interests.
In fact, Zhao Junchen originally had the idea of "local agency", and the auction was not the source of goods, but the sales rights in various places.
However, after understanding the business models and power distribution of businessmen in various places in this era, Zhao Junchen gave up this idea.
For example, the base camp of Shanxi merchants is the northwest provinces, and the base area of Hui merchants is the coastal provinces. Shanxi merchants will not go to the coastal provinces to grab business, and Hui merchants will not go to the northwest provinces to join in the fun. There are countless private salt companies, but most of the salt affairs in the northwest are still in the hands of Shanxi merchants. Shanxi merchants have strong bank accounts, but in the coastal provinces, the bank accounts of Hui merchants are still the main ones.
Regionality is a characteristic of this era, and it is also an unspoken rule recognized by businessmen of this era. If Zhao Junchen auctions the sales rights in various places, the competition faced by the businessmen will undoubtedly be much less, and there will be more likely to be secret compromises. In this way, In the future, the money obtained from the auction rights will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
That's why Zhao Junchen came up with the idea of supply auction. Every batch of supply will cause a full competition. In this way, the profit that the internal treasury can obtain can be maximized.
………
The idea of "local agency" is more advanced than the idea of "supply auction". Zhao Junchen did not mention it, but many businessmen did not think of it.
Therefore, faced with Zhao Junchen's idea of "auctioning the supply of goods", although they knew that their profits would be reduced, the businessmen could not think of a better way.
At least, in their opinion, it is better to auction all the supply for a year in advance than to have to be competed by countless merchants for every batch of soap produced in the inner warehouse in the future.
What's more, it seems that Zhao Junchen doesn't intend to change his mind.
So, after a moment of silent thinking, a group of businessmen finally spoke up and nodded in agreement. One of them took the opportunity to praise Zhao Junchen for his "ingenious ideas" and "the great talent of the country".
After things were settled, the banquet finally began. However, although the delicacies were in front of them, all the businessmen had their own thoughts, making the banquet a little deserted. It didn't take long before some businessmen found reasons to leave. Zhao Junchen gave Time was tight, the auction was tomorrow, they didn't dare to delay, so they went back to prepare.
Those who left were all businessmen with insufficient strength. Those big businessmen with abundant strength all stayed. Some wanted to make secret deals with Zhao Junchen and directly obtain the supply of soap, but Zhao Junchen politely refused. Some of them had the idea of other products in Zhao Junchen's "Yue Rongfang", such as perfume and beauty water, but Zhao Junchen also politely rejected them.
The Yizi business was used by Zhao Junchen to please Emperor Deqing. The more money he earned from this, the higher the value of Zhao Junchen in Emperor Deqing's mind, and the safer Zhao Junchen himself would be. Naturally, he would not Ken was secretly doing something at this time.
As for the business of "Yue Rongfang", Zhao Junchen had other purposes and did not want to have any more entanglements with these businessmen.
In this way, while the guests and hosts had their own plans, Zhao Junchen claimed that he was too drunk and left with Xu Qingyan.
The merchants who were still stranded saw that Zhao Junchen, the rightful owner, had left and could not get any benefits, so they did not delay and left each other.
As the banquet hurriedly dispersed, all the forces focused on Tianhai Tower and completely lost their attention to Tianhai Tower.
However, few people knew that the banquet in Tianhai Tower was not over. The banquet that had dispersed was just a cover. Zhao Junchen actually had another banquet here.
………
Zhao Junchen had booked the entire Tianhai Building for the banquet. After the banquet, the building was deserted and deserted.
After there were no other guests in Tianhai Tower and the attention of all parties was diverted, Tianhai Tower welcomed another group of guests.
Compared with the previous fanfare when the businessmen attended the banquet, the number of these guests was small, only twelve or three, but their whereabouts were sneaky and mysterious, quite a bit sneaky. After arriving at Tianhai Tower, they went straight to the top floor of the hotel without delay. time, and then didn’t show up again, just waiting quietly.
Among these guests, the first ones were Zhan Shanchang, the Minister of Rites, and Tong Huan, the General Affairs Envoy, who had recently taken refuge with Zhao Junchen.
As for the other guests, they were all officials under Wen Guanliang.
According to Zhao Junchen's instructions, these people were carefully selected by Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan. In Wen Guanliang's faction, their status may not be high and their power may not be heavy, but because of this, although they are named Wen Guanliang Although he was a subordinate of Wen Guanliang, he was definitely not loyal to Wen Guanliang.
Especially now, when the people of Wen Guanliang and his faction are experiencing instability.
The reason why these people appeared here was naturally because they were invited by Zhao Junchen.
Although Wen Guanliang was hostile to Zhao Junchen, when Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan contacted them, his words, "Master Zhao has great benefits for you", made their hearts move.
Didn't they follow Wen Guanliang because Wen Guanliang could benefit them?
So, they all came.
After everyone gathered together, they didn't wait long. Xu Qingyan, who had left with Zhao Junchen not long ago, unexpectedly returned to Tianhai Tower without knowing when, pushed the door open, and walked into the private room.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. Didn't you wait long?"
Xu Qingyan said to the guests with a smile on his face.
Although Xu Qingyan was just a long-term attendant, he represented Zhao Junchen, so when he arrived at the private room on the top floor, the guests in the private room stood up to greet him.
Zhan Shanchang was the first to greet him and said with a smile: "Brother Xu is overly worried. We only came here just now."
Xu Qingyan nodded, and after looking around at the guests, a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.
He had followed Zhao Junchen for many years and got to know the court officials quite well. Most of these people in front of him were only fourth- and fifth-rank officials and were not looked down upon by Xu Qingyan.
Therefore, without waiting for Zhan Shanchang to introduce Xu Qingyan, Xu Qingyan was already taking his seat.
After sitting down, Xu Qingyan said slowly: "Please don't be offended. My family is too popular. No matter where you go, you will be stared at. Although I wanted to meet you, for your consideration, I didn't come in the end. It's just Let me pass on a few words to you. However, if you come here for the banquet, you are giving face to my family, and my family will naturally not treat you badly."
Everyone present here was naturally polite after hearing what Xu Qingyan said.
And Xu Qingyan continued: "I believe you all know that my lord has now opened a 'Yerongfang', and the business is pretty good, with more than a thousand taels of silver coming in every day."
As Xu Qingyan finished speaking, everyone, including Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan, couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although they all knew that Zhao Junchen's 'Yue Rong Fang' business was booming, they never expected that thousands of taels of silver would come in every day!
Seeing the stunned and envious looks of everyone in front of him, Xu Qingyan sneered unobtrusively at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Unfortunately, my master is not like those corrupt officials. He has always been honest and dedicated to the public. He doesn't have much savings. Seeing 'Yuerongfang' The business is so good, and I want to expand the business, but due to money constraints, I am unable to do so. In desperation, I have divided 45% of the shares and invite everyone to come. I just want to get you to buy shares. "
Hearing what Xu Qingyan said, everyone here was shocked. Thinking of the profits of "Yue Rongfang", their breathing suddenly became much heavier.
Although they all know that most of the profit of "Yue Rongfang" comes from the pancakes, which will soon be specially made by the inner treasury and sold by merchants from all over the country, but these people know better that the inner treasury is controlled by Zhao Junchen Under such circumstances, Yizi will never be out of stock for "Yue Rong Fang".
What's more, the perfumes and beauty waters of "Yue Rong Fang" have been selling like hot cakes these days, and are now as popular as pancakes. Even if you don't have pancakes, you can definitely make a profit by investing in "Yue Rong Fang". business.
And "Yue Rongfang" is only in the capital and can make thousands of taels of profits every day. So if the business expands and spreads to all provinces and counties, what kind of income will it be?
However, what really surprised them was yet to come.
Xu Qingyan paused for a moment and then continued: "This is the money for the investment. This is what my family has planned. The 45% of the shares will be divided into a total of 45 shares, and each share will cost one thousand taels of silver... …”
Everyone here was stunned!
We are all corrupt officials. Who doesn’t have tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hands? What's the difference between a thousand taels of silver per share and giving it away for free?
However, they also knew that the shares were not given away for free. Once they bought shares in "Yerongfang", it would be equivalent to taking refuge in Zhao Junchen and betraying Wen Guanliang.
does it worth?
worth!
After only a moment of hesitation, most of the people present had already made up their minds.
Obviously, compared with following Wen Guanliang, who could only drink some leftover soup when he ate meat, following Zhao Junchen and investing in "Yue Rongfang" would obviously have more benefits.
The only concern is that this will offend Wen Guanliang, but after Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan betrayed Wen Guanliang, wouldn't they be fine?
For a large amount of money, although it is risky to take refuge in Zhao Junchen, and the risk is not small, it is all worth it.
However, after everyone was surprised and just about to say something, Xu Qingyan continued: "However, my lords also know that all of you here are just like my lords, they are all honest and honest people. Although one thousand taels of silver is not much, it is For you, it is not a small number..."
Hearing what Xu Qingyan said, everyone was speechless.
Indeed, if they were really honest and law-abiding, they would definitely not be able to get the one thousand taels of silver.
Xu Qingyan has already said this. At this time, he can't say that he has always been corrupt and perverts the law. One thousand taels of silver is just a small thing, right?
Seeing the changing expressions of everyone present, the sarcasm in Xu Qingyan's eyes became even more intense, but he continued: "However, my adults have already considered this. Although you can't come up with this money, you can invest in it with your close friends, such as I know that among all of you here, there are several doctors and foreign ministers from the Ministry of Industry. Mr. Zuo Lanshan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Mr. Chen Dongxiang, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry, have always been the most talkative. As high-ranking officials of the imperial court, they have high salaries. Higher, one thousand taels of silver, they must be able to come up with it. If you can persuade those two adults to join in the investment, there will naturally be no shortage of money. There will also be Mr. Li Lide, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Mr. Li Lide, the right minister of the Inspectorate. The Vice-Censor, Mr. Gu Quan and Mr. Gu, can all buy shares, and if you can recruit more people to buy shares, my lord can even give you some shares for free."
Hearing what Xu Qingyan said, everyone here looked at each other and finally understood why Zhao Junchen took advantage of them.
These people Xu Qingyan mentioned were Wen Guanliang's right-hand men!
Zhao Junchen wanted their help to pry Wen Guanliang's corner!
On the other side, Zhan Shanchang already understood Zhao Junchen's plan, but he smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone. If you are worried that you will be criticized by the two adults if you rashly invite Mr. Zuo and Mr. Chen to join the shares, you can just invite them. Before the Lord, I first persuaded several close colleagues, and then went to Lord Zuo and Lord Chen. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, and it is said that it is difficult to violate the will of the people. If Master Zuo and Master Chen meet you, they will all be the same. I will definitely consider it carefully, even if they are a bit pedantic and reject you in the end, those two will definitely not blame you for the sake of Mr. Zhao."
Tong Huan also nodded and said: "That's right. Although you don't have much power, Master Zuo and Master Chen are able to control the Ministry of Industry because of the strong support of the doctors and Yuanwailang below. If you are gone, , even if they have a backer, they may not be able to secure their position. If they take this into consideration, they will definitely consider it seriously."
Xu Qingyan saw that everyone was still pondering, but he couldn't help but frowned, and said slowly: "Everyone should think about it carefully. The opportunity is rare and should not be missed. Now 'Yue Rongfang' only opens a store in the capital. It's so prosperous, and according to my master's plan, this 'Yerongfang' will be opened all over the Ming Dynasty in the future. By then, every share will bring you considerable returns. If you are not willing, , My master is not willing to force it, I think there will definitely be no shortage of court officials who are willing to take shares, so I will just find someone else."
Listening to Zhan Shanchang, Tong Huan and Xu Qingyan singing in harmony, everyone here finally made up their mind.
One of them stood up and said, "I understand. Although I can't guarantee it, I will definitely give it a try for Mr. Zhao!"
As this man spoke, everyone present responded.
Xu Qingyan smiled, raised his glass, stood up and said, "In that case, I would like to congratulate you on your immediate success. I believe you all know how to do this, so I won't mention it here."
"Please also ask Brother Xu to tell Mr. Zhao that we will act covertly in this matter to ensure safety."
"Exactly, please rest assured, Brother Xu, we people are not that confused, we still know how to test."
"With the guidance of Master Zhan, Master Tong and Brother Xu, even if we cannot do our best in this matter, we will never let Master Zhao down."
While everyone responded, Xu Qingyan accompanied everyone and drank a full cup of sake.
Then, Xu Qingyan stopped talking and just listened quietly to the various plans of everyone present.
As the saying goes, a villain will never stop doing something. Under various temptations, everyone here has made up his mind to betray Wen Guanliang. During the planning, the determination to deal with Wen Guanliang is actually more determined than Zhao Junchen and others. , all designs and plans are also extremely cautious and serious.
Seeing the people here talking to each other, they were planning how to exploit Wen Guanliang's corner as quietly as possible and how to attack Wen Guanliang's power as violently as possible. Xu Qingyan was still listening with a smile at first, but slowly, subconsciously He frowned.
He was also a villain, but he had always been loyal to Zhao Junchen, and he couldn't stand the behavior of doing everything he could to deal with his old master.
"After I go back, I must tell the young master that these people who betrayed Wen Guanliang can only be used, but cannot be reused, let alone trusted. Otherwise, today they betrayed Wen Guanliang for the sake of money. Who knows whether they will do more for the sake of money in the future. Betraying the young master for money? However, I think the young master has already thought of this."
Xu Qingyan thought secretly.
After everything was agreed upon, and seeing that Xu Qingyan was no longer paying attention, everyone present left in twos and threes, just like when they came to a banquet, they were also careful when leaving, for fear of being discovered.
But while being cautious, they also felt reassured, because according to their plan, Wen Guanliang would become a loner in a few days. By that time, with Zhao Junchen's support, Wen Guanliang, even as the elder of the pavilion, would not necessarily be alone. Can handle them.
As everyone left, for a while, only Xu Qingyan, Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan were left in the private room.
After this plan, Zhan Shanchang, who resented Wen Guanliang the most, seemed quite excited and hummed: "After this, I want to see how powerful Wen Guanliang can be after he becomes a loner. The so-called Pavilion Elder is nothing more than that. It was the people below who praised him. If no one praises him, the so-called Pavilion Elder is nothing more than a decoration."
Tong Huan was relatively calm, but he frowned and said: "However, although today's gathering is quite hidden, and the people we invited are all carefully selected by us, Wen Guanliang has been running the government and the public for many years, so what happened today may not be the same. We can completely hide it from him, and even if we can hide what happened today, after those people lobby everywhere, it will be impossible to hide Wen Guanliang again."
Xu Qingyan shook his head and sneered: "Mr. Tong, my young master has taken everything into consideration. Although this plan was concealed in order to catch Wen Guanliang off guard, it doesn't matter even if that old man Wen Guanliang finds out. Wen Guanliang's people , most of them have the same temperament as Wen Guanliang, greedy for money as much as their lives, how much profit can our Yuerongfang make? How many of Wen Guanliang's people can withstand the temptation? When the news spreads, what if Wen Guanliang knows about it? Unless they can There are benefits to having more followers, otherwise the form cannot be controlled at all. The question is, does Wen Guanliang have so many benefits to others? Even if he does, can he be willing to do so? After this incident, Wen Guanliang will be greatly damaged no matter what, by that time , let’s see if he still dares to threaten the young master.”
Zhan Shanchang said with admiration: "That's it. Mr. Zhao's plan is really admirable. How big is the business of 'Yerongfang'? Mr. Zhao actually sold out 45% of the shares in one go. As Brother Xu said He said, how could Wen Guanliang benefit so much? Even if he had so many benefits, with his temperament, how could he be willing to give it up? Comparing the two, their courage and magnanimity are so great."
When Xu Qingyan heard what Zhan Shanchang said, he couldn't help but his face twitched slightly. According to Xu Qingyan's temperament, money could only come in but not go out, but Zhan Shanchang's words hurt him.
How much money does it cost to own 45% of the shares of "Yue Rongfang"?
However, although Xu Qingyan felt a little sad, he didn't want to show it in front of Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan.
Therefore, Xu Qingyan just imitated Zhao Junchen's tone and demeanor when he warned him, and said leisurely: "Silver is just a number, no matter how much it is. Don't be afraid of using it. As long as you can get practical benefits after using it, then the silver It's not in vain. Although the 45% stake in Yuerongfang is quite a lot, if it can be used to sideline Wen Guanliang, it is still a value-for-money deal."
Xu Qingyan was imitating Zhao Junchen. Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan could tell it. However, Xu Qingyan was Zhao Junchen's confidant. They did not dare to offend him and just sighed repeatedly.
Seeing that Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan looked weird every time they talked about "Yerongfang", Xu Qingyan sighed secretly in his heart, but took out two contracts from his sleeves and handed them to them. At the same time, he said: "These two I have been doing my best for my family, and my family has always seen it, and I will not let you two suffer. Of the 45% of the shares, you will each have three-thirds, so I hope you will accept it."
Hearing what Xu Qingyan said and looking at the share purchase contract handed over by Xu Qingyan, Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.
Seeing the happy faces of Zhan Shanchang and Tong Huan, Xu Qingyan remembered what Zhao Junchen said when they came.
"The essence of loyalty is just that while being loyal to others, you can get various benefits, whether it is power, money, or ambition. I never believe in loyalty without benefits, especially for those corrupt officials, let alone those who are corrupt. That's true; on the contrary, if the benefits are shared, it doesn't matter whether it means loyalty and allegiance."
