Chapter 219: A Piece of Cake
Extraordinary family meetings are generally only held by the head of the family. However, as the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Zheng family, Zheng Yongming, who was trained as the next patriarch, has already taken over many responsibilities of the head of the family, and he is no different from the crown prince, and he is also qualified to initiate this meeting.
But what is going to be discussed at this meeting...... Zheng Yonghe remembered what he had said to Zheng Zheng two days ago, and his heart was tight.
Zheng Yongming is too quick to do this, God knows if Zheng Zheng is ready to deal with these things after knowing these things.
On the way back to the Zheng family's mansion, Zheng Yonghe, who didn't know what Zheng Zheng's situation was, thought about it and sent a text message to Zheng Zheng: "Zheng Yongming initiated a temporary family meeting, probably to target you, be careful." ”
Zheng Zheng's text message was quickly replied: "It's okay. Just remember what I told you. ”
It's good to be young......
Zheng Yonghe shook his head and sent a text message: "If you are not prepared to deal with it, hurry up and don't hold on." If the meeting adopts his proposal, it will only be three or five days' work. ”
When Zheng Zheng received this text message, he was explaining the origin of the knife to Bai Xiaoxue, who suddenly remembered the knife on his stomach. He picked up his phone and read the text messages as he said, "...... So, that's how this knife edge came about. ”
Zheng Zheng's "scars left by young and frivolous fights with others" made Bai Xiaoxue a little suspicious, she turned her head to the side in confusion and asked, "But this knife doesn't look like an old injury?"
"Well...... Zheng Zheng looked at the text message and smiled. He put his phone aside, smiled at Bai Xiaoxue, and wittily changed the topic: "Baby, what do you say we should eat at noon today? I want to taste your craft......
When Zheng Yonghe came to the conference room of the Zheng family's mansion, there was only one empty seat left in the conference room. Zheng Yonghe smiled and apologized to everyone again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”
"Okay, sit down, it's all up to you. Zheng Yuan, the current head of the Zheng family, waved his hand and asked Zheng Yonghe to sit down, and then rushed down Zheng Yongming and said, "Yonghe has come, and everyone has arrived." Today is the time for you to have this family meeting, so it's up to you. ”
"Listen to your old man. Zheng Yongming nodded, stood up and cleared his throat and was about to speak, but Zheng Yonghe, who had just sat down, smiled on the side: "Big brother, you too, you will have a meeting when you have a meeting, why do you let the old man bother to do it?"
Zheng Yonghe This is not unintentional. In the presence of Zheng Yuan, if Zheng Yonghe makes any proposals, he can have a result on the spot, after all, although he Zheng Yonghe is already regarded as the "prince", there is no problem in deciding some small things, but the decision-making power of major matters is still in the hands of the old man, and it will not work without the words of the old man.
If the old man nodded in approval on the spot, then there would be no room for turning back on this matter, after all, it was not a matter for the head of a big family to go back on his word.
Zheng Yonghe pondered that since Zheng Yongming had held this meeting, if it was to target Zheng Zheng - which was basically inevitable - it must be that he had enough evidence to make the old man nod his head and agree, and he was not the one who did it without preparation. In case the old man nodded on the spot and approved Zheng Yongming's approach, it would be impossible to remedy it.
However, if the old man is not present, it will be much easier, Zheng Yongming will get an opinion with these people at most, and then go back and tell the old man to ask the old man to decide. At that time, if the situation was not right, Zheng Yonghe could still go to the old man and talk to the old man himself, maybe he could change the old man's opinion.
But now this is the case...... If Zheng Yongming's evidence is conclusive, even if Zheng Yonghe can open his mouth to intercede with Zheng Zheng, how can the old man agree in front of everyone?
Zheng Yongming, who was robbed of the conversation by Zheng Yonghe, looked at Zheng Yonghe, nodded and said, "It should have been like this." However, this matter involves the people of our Zheng family, and unlike other things, it is better to have the old man present. ”
Zheng Yuan didn't speak, just glanced at Zheng Yonghe lightly, and then moved his gaze to the side.
Listening to what Zheng Yongming said, Zheng Yonghe raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, "Sure enough." He was about to speak, but he saw a glance from the old man, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he saw through what he wanted to say at a glance. He touched his nose, suppressed what he wanted to say, and nodded, "Then do what you say, big brother." ”
Zheng Yongming nodded, cleared his throat and said, "There is a child of our Zheng family who is now opening an antique shop in Huayin City, this matter is not a big deal, so everyone here may not know much, so I will mention it." His name is Zheng Zheng and he is the son of Zheng Yongping. I came to the Western Capital City before and made dishes in Wang Qian's shop. Half a year ago, I came forward to let him go back to Zheng's house and arranged for him to go to Huayin City. ”
Zheng Yongming said these words with an indifferent face, and the expressions on the faces of those sitting were very exciting. Zheng Yongping's son Zheng Zheng came to the Western Capital, which is not news at all, he came to the Zheng family's mansion when he first came to the Western Capital, and he had a little conflict with Zheng Bei. But everyone just knows this matter in their hearts, and no one has mentioned it.
However, when it comes to Zheng Zheng, Zheng Yongping must be mentioned, and why Zheng Yongping left the Zheng family back then, many of these people are clear. And what is going on with Wang Qian's storefront, and what kind of place Huayin City is, most people also know it in their hearts. Now seeing Zheng Yongming talking about this matter with an indifferent face, people who know a little about these things will inevitably have a wonderful expression.
Even Zheng Yonghe, who was on the side, secretly gave a thumbs up: "This thick-skinned person really has nothing to say, if you judge who the head of the family should be based on his thin skin, Zheng Yongming is really a good candidate for the head of the family." ”
Although everyone had their own thoughts after listening to Zheng Yongming's words, they didn't show anything on their faces, and no one whispered and discussed in a whisper, waiting for Zheng Yongming's next words.
Zheng Yongming paused, looked around for a week and said: "But recently I heard some news that this Zheng Zheng has a bit of a problem, in addition to the antique shop business, he is also involved in the antique black market. ”
This sentence immediately caused an uproar, and everyone gasped and looked at each other.
Antique shops inevitably have to deal with all kinds of characters, although the Zheng family's business does not accept black goods, but they also know what a black market means.
No matter how big or small a black market is, this is a thing that cannot see the light, as long as it sees the light, no matter how big or small, there is no good fruit to eat. Because the black market is still different from buying and selling black goods, the more official explanation is that the black market is an "organized crime", and buying and selling a few black goods is not a big deal in comparison.
However, high risk also means high returns, and it may only cost a thousand dollars to collect a black item in the black market, but it can be sold at least five times or even ten times the price, and the profit between them is simply terrible. It is extremely difficult to achieve this kind of income in a serious antique shop unless it is a leak.
Zheng Yongming gently knocked on the table with his fingers, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Our Zheng family is doing serious business. He is engaged in black market business, and our Zheng family will never tolerate it. ”
After softening his tone, Zheng Yongming said, "So I have a proposal, that is, to take back the shop that our Zheng family rented for him in Huayin City, and take back the thirty antiques that were used as his start-up capital. However, the rent of that store has been prepaid for a short time, so we have to choose a suitable person to go to Huayin City to take over this stall. ”
After a pause, Zheng Yongming continued: "As for the black market...... That's not going to have to be. However, we can make that black market no longer trade in black goods and antiques, and turn to a serious antique business, which also paves a way for our Zheng family in Huayin City and the surrounding areas of Huayin City. ”
Between the words, Zheng Zheng's black market has been assigned to the Zheng family's name by Zheng Yongming.
Everyone's eyes lit up, if Zheng Zheng did open a black market, and could take this black market into the hands of the Zheng family and transform it into a channel for doing serious antique business, then this would be a big cake. Zheng Yongming can't eat alone, and all these people here can get a share of the profits.
The poor antique market in Huayin City is one of the main reasons why the Zheng family has not set up a store in Huayin City, but the antique market in Huayin City is not good, which does not mean that the urban antique market around Huayin City is also bad. In fact, the antique markets in several cities near Huayin City are quite popular, but the Zheng family has not been able to enter these cities.
The reason is very simple, that is, because in these cities around Huayin City, where the antique market is hot, there are not many antique markets on the surface, and there are not many buyers on the surface. The antiques market there is dominated by various black markets, and all the high-end buyers and sellers are basically customers of these black markets. If a serious antique business is opened, the black market will not be hindered or hindered, but there is no business, so those who want to do legitimate antique business in the cities around Huayin City will lose a sum of money in the end.
But the situation is different now. If the black market that Zheng Zheng has opened up can be successfully recovered, and it can be reorganized, so that those who were originally in the black market can do legitimate antique business for the Zheng family's use, then they can get customers from the original black market, which means that they can enter this area smoothly.
With the strength of the Zheng family, as long as they can enter this area, the Zheng family will be able to completely control the antique market in this area within three or five years, and radiate outward with the cities around Huayin City, and expand to other areas that the Zheng family has not touched.
How can Zheng Yongming eat such a big piece of cake alone, and not everyone has a share?
When he realized that this matter was beneficial and harmless to him, the question that everyone was concerned about was whether Zheng Zheng really opened such a black market.
