Chapter 186: Doing Business Needs Tricks

Tang Tiezhu took the whole family back to the town, and when he entered the hospital, Brother Xiang was repairing the cabinet in the courtyard, and when he saw his uncle's family coming back, he put down the hammer in his hand and said, "You guys are back,"

Li Shi smiled lightly and said: "We have not been at home for the past two days, everything is okay at home!" ”

Brother Xiang walked up to Li's side and said slowly, "It's all good, there's nothing wrong." He glanced at his uncle and said, "Uncle, what's wrong, why is his face so bad, is something happening in Tangjia Village." ”

Li Shi smiled silently, obviously not wanting to mention what happened in Tangjia Village, Tunnel: "Nothing? Yesterday, your uncle and second uncle Qing'er drank a lot of wine and had some headaches. ”

Brother Xiang nodded clearly, and said to Tang Qing'er: "Xue Qianxun came over this morning, and left when he saw that you weren't there." ”

Tang Qing'er said: "Well, did he say anything?" ”

Brother Xiang said: "No," that is, he also talked to him, and only mentioned her briefly in the chat.

Tang Tiezhu led the oxcart to the cowshed, and then returned to the house without saying a word, Brother Xiang thought that his uncle was silent because he was uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "I'll go and make some sobering soup for my uncle!" You're tired all the way back, so let's all go inside and rest! ”

Tang Qing'er could only sigh that Brother Xiang's reflex arc was a little slow, and he raised his forehead and said, "Brother Xiang, don't bother, my father will just rest for a while,"

Li also said: "Yes, Qing'er is right, I'll go in and see your uncle, and you will disperse!" What to do, what to do! After speaking, he hugged the taro and went into the house to comfort the depressed master.

Brother Xiang saw that he didn't need to do anything, so he continued to do his work, Tang Yang and Feng Xiao went into the house to study, Jiao'er took Man'er back to the house to rest, and Tang Liang sat on a chair in the yard to bask in the sun, Tang Qing'er saw that they were all looking for things to do, only she didn't know what to do, sat down next to Tang Liang and said, "What do you want?" ”

The table in the yard was received by his father from a grandfather's house in the town, and seeing that this set of tables and chairs was made of good wood and the color was also very new, he kept it for his own use and placed it under the osmanthus tree next to the yard, so that the family could rest or talk.

Tang Liang said: "What else can you think?" Students will be willing! ”

Tang Qing'er said slowly: "Actually, you have already found someone to help you, what are you worried about?" ”

Tang Liang said: "Since you know what else to ask." ”

Tang Qing'er said: "I'm bored," although she came back from Tangjia Village and got rid of the gang in the main house, she was angry when she thought of her father, but this fire had nowhere to start.

Tang Liang knew that the eldest sister was the kind of person who had nothing to do, and said: "When I was admitted to Xiucai, my brother-in-law promised me one thing, and I thought it was time to say it." ”

Tang Qing'er snorted twice and said, "After being admitted to Xiucai, it's okay if you don't go up to the test, you have to learn to do business, and don't expect me to help you anything?"

Tang Liang said: "I didn't expect you to say anything, I was counting on my brother-in-law." “

It wasn't until dinner that her father came out of the house, and Tang Qing'er smiled at her father and said, "Dad, I made your favorite boiled fish today, wrapped in meat, and patted cucumbers, you have to give your daughter more face." “

Tang Tiezhu had no appetite, but seeing that his daughter had a smile on her face, there was worry in her eyes, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Well, Daddy must have eaten a lot." “

As long as her father has the spirit, Tang Qing'er thinks that it is okay to cook for her father every day, and said to everyone: "Everyone hurry up and eat, otherwise the food will be eaten by her father in a while." “

Everyone at the table covered their mouths and smiled, and then picked up chopsticks and ate big.

Seeing that the head of the family had an appetite, Li whispered to him: "You see that if you are in a bad mood and can't eat, the babies will also worry that they will have no appetite."

Tang Tiezhu looked up and saw the children on the table and nodded.

Li Shi said: "Don't affect your own life for the sake of those irrelevant people in the main house, you are a person who has a family, a daughter-in-law and a baby, don't be sad for unrelated people." “

On the erection day, Xue Qianxun came to Tang's house again, and before he could whisper anything to Qing'er, he was pulled aside by Tang Liang behind him and said, "Brother-in-law,"

Xue Qianxun looked at him with a puzzled face, Tang Liang's face turned red and said, "Brother-in-law, do you remember what you said to me on the day you were admitted to Xiucai?" “

Xue Qianxun lowered his head and thought for a while before nodding, Tang Liang continued: "Then can I fulfill my wish?"

Xue Qianxun finally knew why Tang Liang called him, and said, "Do you want to learn to do business with me?"

Tang Liang rarely lowered his head and puffed up his fingers, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "En." “

Tang Qing'er laughed when she saw it on the side and said, "You are the loudest speaker in our family, why are you so shy today." “

Tang Liang raised his head and glared at her angrily, and then gave her a look to let her leave, Tang Qing'er was very self-aware and gave the two of them space to talk.

Xue Qianxun sat on a chair in the courtyard with Tang Liang and said, "Why did you learn to do business?" “

"I want to make money, I want to make my family's life better, and I want everyone to look at us differently." Tang Liang clenched his fists at this time, and looked at Xue Qianxun with his eyes attentive.

Xue Qianxun nodded, and said, "It's because of this, then let me ask you, do you know Fan Li?" “

Tang Liang shook his head, although he was interested in doing business, he had been practicing the way of Confucius and Mencius all these years, where did he know Fan Li? Shake your head at him.

Xue Qianxun said lightly: "Fan Li, the word Shaobo, the three families of Chuwan in the late Spring and Autumn Period, he has lived in Wuyue for decades, and he knows that good horses are needed there, and it is not difficult to buy horses in the north, the price difference between horses in the north and south is huge, this must be a profitable business,"

Tang Liang said: "This person really has brains, but there will be a lot of accidents in the middle of the north-south exchange?" “

Xue Qinxue said: "Yes, you think of him, let alone him? The transportation of horses was difficult, the distance was thousands of miles, the transportation costs were high, and there were many bandits on the road, which did add endless risks to the business. “

Tang Liang said: "Then what did he do later." “

Xue Qianxun said: "After many investigations, Fan Li learned that there is a giant merchant named Jiang Zidun in Qi State, who is very powerful, and often traffics linen cloth to Wu Yue, and has already bought off the merchants along the way, and his goods are unimpeded, so Fan Li wrote a list and posted it at the main gate of the city where Jiang Zidun lived. “

Tang Liang was puzzled: "Why don't you just talk to Jiang Zidun for an interview, but you have to post an article." “

Xue Qianxun did not answer his question, but continued: "It is written in the list that he formed a team of horses, and for the first time he did business, he could help people deliver goods to Wu Yue for free. “

Tang Liang's eyes lit up and said: "Be smart, lure the snake out of the hole, and let Jiang Zidun come to find Fan Li by himself." “

Xue Qianxun nodded: "Yes, then Jiang Zidun heard the news and took the initiative to find Fan Li and ask for sackcloth, and Fan Li agreed." In this way, Fan Li and Jiang Zidun walked all the way, and the goods and horses arrived safely in Wuyue, and the horses were quickly sold in Wuyue, and Fan Li made a lot of money. “

Tang Liang said: "Really good mind,"

"This is the so-called trick to win the army, to make money, although you don't have connections, but you have a head, you have a plan in your head, so you use this trick to make money,"

Tang Liang was taught: "Brother-in-law, I know what you mean by this to me. “

Xue Qianxun said: "Doing business is a science, just as you need to study hard every day for the Xiucai exam, and the same is true for doing business, or it is more difficult than you study for the Xiucai exam. “

"It's so difficult, then I have to learn even more, there is no challenge, where does the desire to conquer come from." Tang Liang said with great interest.

Xue Qianxun continued: "When I was learning to do business, my grandmother specially called me over and only said these few words to me: "Know the place to win, choose the place to make money; Buy when it's cheap, sell it when it's expensive; See the end and know the future, predict the wealth; Small profits but quick turnover, no dare to be expensive; Carved red carved cui, stay with customers; Take righteousness as profit, seek righteousness and avoid wealth; Long sleeves are good at dancing, more money is good; Strange plans to win soldiers, strange to make money, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and deal with profits; Choose people and use them with sincerity. ”

Tang Liang read it silently twice, and said with wide eyes: "Wonderful, wonderful, these are all business tricks!" ”

Xue Qianxun shook his head and said: "It's easy to hear, but it's hard to do, even if I am now, I can only see three or four things,"

Tang Liang grew his mouth in surprise and said: "My brother-in-law is so powerful, I can only see three or four things, then I can't even be a half-baked businessman, isn't it ......?"

Xue Qianxun said: "Don't underestimate yourself, everything depends on whether you are careless or not, whether you can endure hardships." ”

Tang Liang took his brother-in-law's arm and said, "Brother-in-law, you can teach me!" If you don't teach me, I don't know who I can learn from. ”

"Then you will be a little servant with me from tomorrow onwards! I can't teach you by hand, everything depends on your own understanding, if you succeed, I will let you do it yourself. ”

Tang Liang hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Thank you, brother-in-law, for your success, when you come to the house to marry the eldest sister next year, I will not block the door and prevent you from entering,"

"You, why are you still a child." When Xue Qianxun heard Tang Liang's words, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, but he did have one less obstacle in order to win Qing'er, and he chuckled at the corner of his mouth.

Tang Liang got an accurate answer, and went back to the house to call the eldest sister out and let her talk to her brother-in-law, while he went back to his room and wrote down the words that his brother-in-law and grandmother said on rice paper, and always experienced it.

After Tang Qing'er went out, she saw Xue Qianxun still sitting on the chair and asked, "Do you think my brother has a talent for business?" ”

Xue Qianxun raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, you know how to do business better than anyone else, why don't you teach him?"

After Tang Qing'er sat down, she sighed: "After all, Liang'er is the male baby in the family, and I want to learn to do business just to make the life of the family better and better, and to help my father and mother reduce the burden. ”

"And then ......"

"If I teach him by hand, his self-confidence will be destroyed by me sooner or later, and he will think that he already has a person who can earn money and have brains at home, what else does he need to do? Blows, dazedness, and overwhelm will slowly destroy the spiritual pillar in his heart. Tang Qing'er muttered to herself.

"I can't believe you even thought of this," Xue Qianxun's eyebrows jumped.

Tang Qing'er said without hesitation: "No way, who made me his eldest sister, who made me smarter?" ”

Xue Qianxun said: "I agree in the front, but in the back...... Debatable. ”
