Chapter 4 Tongbao Qian Zhuang Zhang Dajing
Tongbao Money Bank.
The rich Zhang Da Whale in the capital is listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Last month, the old Zhang Teahouse in the east of the city was replaced by a new owner, the new owner is called Yang Ming, a young man in his early twenties, and the brand of the teahouse has also been changed to Ming Ji. This man made a new kind of tea, which is said to be stir-fried, and the resulting tea leaves can be drunk directly with boiling water. The brewed tea is fragrant and delicious, with a long aftertaste. In the past few days, the teahouse business has been very hot, which has caused a trend of making tea in the capital. "This person is one of Zhang Dajing's henchmen, who is responsible for listening to all kinds of news.
Zhang Dajing nodded and said, "I have also heard about making tea, if what is said in the market is true, this is indeed a way to make money." I'll wait until I'll see it myself tomorrow, and ...... else" Speaking of this, his voice suddenly lowered and said, "How did you check about Rama's body?"
This henchman looked left and right, leaned into Zhang Dajing's ear and whispered, "Master, the matter you asked me to check is already a bit eyebrow-raising." ”
"Come on. Zhang Dajing immediately became excited, and said in a trembling voice: "What have you found?" ”
"Master, we found out that half of Rama's body is in the hands of the Nanhai faction, and we have sent someone to contact us, and the Nanhai faction also has the intention of making a move. The henchman replied.
"Okay, no matter how much it costs, get it back for me. Zhang Da Whale breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Have you found the whereabouts of the drizzle?"
"No, since the drizzle disappeared more than two months ago, it hasn't been seen on the rivers and lakes. Now Blackstone's people are also looking for her, but there is no clue over there. The henchman replied.
Zhang Da Whale shouted: "Can she still fly, give me a bigger bounty, 500,000 taels is not enough for 1 million taels, you must find her." Whoever can find the drizzle and offer the body of half of Rama in her hand, I am willing to give him a million taels of silver. ”
The henchman replied: "Yes, master." ”
……
Ming Kee Teahouse.
Since Yang Ming's new tea went on the market, the business of the teahouse has been increasing day by day, and it has been full every day in recent days, and there have even been people waiting in line to drink tea.
"Owner, the business in the store is getting better and better, and there are some people in the lobby who can't sit down, should we also take down the Wang family's bun shop next to it, and expand the shop together?" said the shopkeeper Li Maotian.
Yang Ming leisurely tasted the tea and said: "Don't worry, the tea shop is just a good business for a while, and after this while, the business will naturally fall." How much money did you make this month?"
Shopkeeper Li said: "If you go back to the owner's house, the shop will be full every day this month, and the tea will be sold for a total of five hundred and twenty-seven taels of silver, excluding the capital, wages and additional tables and chairs, and other items, there are still four hundred and thirty-one taels left." ”
The one hundred and fifty taels of silver spent on the teahouse at the beginning had already paid off, and it had also made a net profit from three shops.
Yang Ming nodded and said, "You and the two guys will divide the fraction of the thirty taels, as this month's reward, I'm afraid there won't be so much silver in the future." ”
The tea shop business is good, and Zhou Shunzi can't run away, so at the beginning of this month, the store recruited another runner.
"Thank you, owner. ”
Shopkeeper Li smiled happily, and he was happy to be busy with such a generous owner. Immediately, he said with some doubts: "I see that the business in the store is very good, why does the owner say this? As long as the craftsmanship of roasting tea is in the hands of the owner, this money will not be exhausted." ”
Yang Ming shook his head, what the ancients thought was still too simple, not all the efforts were rewarded. He said: "The regulation of the market mechanism is the basic content of economics, and the macro environment determines that you cannot continue to make huge profits like this, unless you have a very strong background strength, it is impossible to break the market." To put it simply, if we make money, there will be people who are jealous, and even the people above will intervene and force you to adjust. ”
"The proprietor said too deeply, and I still don't understand. But the owner is a smart person, and it is not wrong to listen to the owner. Shopkeeper Li thought about it for a while, shook his head, and still didn't understand.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Hehe, you just need to know that there are only two roads in front of us." One is to distribute the secret recipe of roasted tea, so that everyone's interests are evenly distributed, and the market balance is maintained. The other way is to find a strong partner to work with, as the saying goes, it's good to be cool under the big tree. ”
At this time, the guy Zhou Shunzi ran into the back hall and said breathlessly: "Dong, Dongjia, Zhang, Master Zhang is here." ”
Shopkeeper Li's face turned pale, and he said, "Speak well, which Master Zhang?"
Yang Ming said: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Zhou Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Zhang, the living god of wealth, Zhang Dajing." ”
The capital is rich and big, with countless family fortunes, rich and rival the country, and is the living god of wealth in the eyes of the people.
The corners of Yang Ming's mouth curled, and he said, "The partner is here, go, please ask Master Zhang to rest in the inner hall." ”
Inner nave.
Yang Ming personally made a pot of fragrant tea for Zhang Da Whale and said, "Zhang Yuan, please go outside." ”
Zhang Dajing lifted the tea lid, gently stirred the floating tea twice, sniffed it, and said, "This is the tea that shocked the capital." Good, not bad. I heard that this method of making tea is only known to Boss Yang, and I don't know if Boss Yang is willing to sell it to me. ”
"Absolutely. Yang Ming said with a smile.
Doing business is nothing more than the exchange of interests, and there are two main ways of cooperation, one is to share, one person contributes technology and one person contributes money, and two people share the money they earn. The other is a buyout, a one-shot deal.
If we want to talk about sharing, the forces of the two sides should be equal, and if one is strong and the other is weak, it is naturally impossible to talk about sharing. Moreover, Yang Ming can't stay in this world for long, and it is better to collect a little money than to sell it with a hammer.
"Boss Yang is happy! Say, how much does Boss Yang cost?" Although Zhang Dajing is a cripple, his bearing is not weak at all.
Yang Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't want money, as long as the silver is enough to spend, and more is also an ornament." Yang has only two hobbies in his life, one is to drink tea, the other is to love vassal elegance, and likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, especially the calligraphy and paintings of various famous artists. I heard that Boss Zhang has a lot of famous calligraphy, painting and ink treasures, so it's better to trade calligraphy and paintings. ”
For Yang Ming, he can't take too much gold, and he can't exchange much money for it. Calligraphy and painting are different, a rare calligraphy and painting can be sold for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and just take ten or eight calligraphy and paintings can be worth a ton of gold, and the cost performance is much higher.
"Elegant enough, Brother Yang's temperament is very good for my appetite. Take the calligraphy and paintings on my house, and take as many as you can. Zhang Dajing laughed loudly, as a rich man in the capital, he naturally has no shortage of famous Mobao in his hand.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the value of calligraphy antiques was far less expensive than that of later generations, even if some were taken away by Yang Ming, Zhang Dajing would not feel distressed.
"Brother Zhang is quick to talk, let's make up our minds. Yang Ming also laughed, climbed up the pole, and began to be commensurate with brothers. As for how many levels this title has, both of them are clear in their hearts.
"Tomorrow I will send someone to learn how to make tea with Brother Zhang, and Brother Zhang will come to my house to get calligraphy and paintings. Zhang Da Whale said.
"Good, nice to work with. Yang Ming said.
The next day, Zhang Dajing sent more than ten skilled tea masters to the Mingji Teahouse to learn how to make tea, and Yang Ming would not hide his secrets, so he passed on the trick of roasting tea to them on the spot.
In the afternoon, a luxurious soft sedan chair embroidered with Zhang characters came to the door of the teahouse.
"Our lord invited Boss Yang to come over for a while, Boss Yang, please. Zhang's family said.
"Good. ”
Yang Ming was not polite, and immediately sat in the soft sedan car.
"Get up the car. ”
With a yo he, the sedan chair was raised.
Yang Ming is still sitting in a sedan chair for the first time, and it feels very fresh, this is a completely different feeling from sitting in a car, not so smooth, but not as sharp as imagined.
The sedan chair slowly moved forward and soon arrived at Zhang's mansion.
"Young Master Yang, our master is already waiting for the master in Qiushui Garden, you come with me. The sedan chair landed, and a person who looked like a housekeeper greeted him and said politely to Yang Ming.
"Then the butler will be troubled. Yang Ming said.
"Please. ”
Zhang's mansion covers an area very broad, not so much a mansion as a garden, there are rockeries and flowing water in the garden, there are strange flowers and plants in the forest, the layout of the garden is obviously from the hands of the masters, everywhere is full of the unique gentle atmosphere of the south of the Yangtze River, poetic and picturesque, and in this pleasant scenery there is a faint luxury atmosphere, which makes people marvel.
The housekeeper took Yang Ming to walk in the corridor, passing through the four gardens of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.
On both sides of the corridor, there were two guards with swords on duty every twenty meters, and in addition, Yang Ming also encountered two guard teams randomly patrolling the garden.
After about a quarter of an hour, the two arrived at Qiushui Garden.
"It's such a big mansion, if you are not familiar with the environment here, let alone stealing treasures, even if you let yourself go casually, eighty percent will get lost. As Yang Ming walked, he observed the surrounding environment and secretly remembered the topography of the mansion.
"I don't know if the half of the Rama remains have fallen into the hands of Zhang Da Whale. Yang Ming guessed in his heart.
After entering the Qiushui Garden, the housekeeper stopped outside a courtyard and said, "The master is inside, Yang Gongzi, please." ”
Yang Ming bowed his hand to the housekeeper and walked towards the courtyard. At the same time, he opened his perspective eye and glanced into the courtyard, and all the arrangements inside fell into his eyes.
Zhang Da Whale sat in the living room, behind him stood two swordsmen in strong suits, in addition to that, there were no less than twenty guards hidden around the other courtyard.
"What a life-saving guy. Yang Ming said secretly in his heart.
Seeing Yang Ming coming in, Zhang Dajing immediately smiled and said, "Brother Yang is finally here, please take a seat." ”
"Brother Lao Zhang has been waiting for a long time, Yang is really upset. Yang Ming also followed politely.
The two exchanged a few words, and Zhang Dajing said: "Brother Yang's method of roasting tea is really whimsical and eye-opening. Not only does it make the tea more mellow and clear, but it also saves a lot of costs, but this time I took advantage of Brother Yang. ”
Yang Ming smiled: "Where is it, this is what you and I want, as long as Brother Zhang is satisfied." ”
"Satisfied, satisfied. ”
Zhang Dajing turned to the topic and said, "Since Brother Yang trusts me so much, I can't let you down." Brother Yang come closer, I'll take you to see my brother's collection. ”
Yang Ming took a few steps closer, glanced around, looked at the ground, and said, "Could it be that Brother Fei built the collection room underground." ”
"Brother Yang is really smart. As he spoke, he tapped the ground three times with his cane, and the floor slowly sank.
After about seven or eight meters of dropping, the floor stopped.
The two sword guards pushed Zhang Dajing forward, and came to a bronze gate.
Zhang Dajing laughed and said: "It's all some vulgar things, and it's difficult to get into the hall of elegance." Brother Yang, please. ”
As he spoke, he took out a key and inserted it into the lock cylinder in the middle of the brass door.
The bronze door "squeaks" open.
