Chapter 1159: Rich Everyone Earns
Hua Qingyu received a reply from Bai Ko, the letter had her arrangements for the last few days, without too many details, that is, where she would go on which day, please ask Hua Wuye to hint that Jiang Yueyi would go to Xiafang if she wanted to meet, and she didn't have time to attend those time-wasting women's tea parties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now that winter is approaching, the newly built greenhouse is making various preparations before use, and a bunch of things are waiting for her to follow up one by one, how can there be any time to care if other women sincerely want to share Gu Yun.
Divide her grandmother's eggs!
It has always been a man's business for a man to take a concubine, and the women in the family can't stop it, otherwise they will be divorced if they commit seven crimes, and they will be divorced.
Hua Qingyu copied the arrangement written by Bai Ko to Jiang Yueyi, pretending that the achievements were like his subordinates inquiring, Mr. Bai now has to take care of a factory, two construction sites, and a joint farm, which is really a good opportunity, so she can find out some news when she wants to go out to do errands one day.
Jiang Yueyi and Ma Hao did not have the slightest doubt when they received the reply, after the previous failures, they had already known that Gu Yun was an official and it was not easy to check his whereabouts, and Bai Ko was a civilian, so it would be much easier to start with her.
The beginning of winter is approaching, the morning and evening chill is heavier, the autumn wind brings the autumn rain, and the road surface is not dry from morning to night.
Because of the rain, Jiang Yueyi couldn't go out, pinching the intelligence and hating that the rain was not at the right time, Bai Ko knew that the eldest lady would not come out in this kind of stormy weather, so she left her behind and was busy talking about a big business.
On the day King Qing left Beijing a while ago, the prince's personal soldiers took two magnesium rods from Bai Ko's hand, and now the military department has come to business, wanting to make a full set of technical standards for magnesium rods, and at the same time not hindering Bai Ko from doing civilian business.
Bai Ko resolutely refuses to sell a full set of technical standards, unless the Ministry of War agrees to recognize her as the patentee of magnesium rods and give her a patent fee of 10% and a half per year.
The Ministry of War had never seen such a business discussion, so he was angry and turned his head to Gu Yun, after all, he was the imperial merchant registered in the imperial court, Bai Ko was just the chief shopkeeper, and the old men of the Ministry of War thought that it was really impossible to talk about serious things with women.
The unprepared Gu Yun was sprayed on his face by the official in charge of ordnance production of the Ministry of War, although he didn't know the previous situation, but he could also piece together what happened from the other party's words, it must be that the Ministry of War and Bai Ko had been frustrated in their business, and he firmly supported all of Bai Ko's decisions, as a patentee, one and a half percent of the annual patent fee is the right benefit.
The Ministry of War wants to buy a full set of technical standards just to let its own ordnance craftsmen do it, then the quality will definitely be better than that made by pyrotechnic craftsmen, Gu Yun, who is not stupid, insists on protecting his own interests, who calls him an imperial businessman, in business, there is no discount in front of him.
The other party was so angry that his nose was crooked, so he could not agree to too many requests because he was nervous about the public funds of the Ministry of War, and the money of the Ministry of War mainly came from the appropriation of the Ministry of Households, and at most, the generals of the various armies got some small coffers to give some benefits to their subordinates, and there was no extra money to pay for the patent fees.
Gu Yun didn't know how to talk about it all of a sudden, mainly because he and Bai Ko had not communicated in advance, who knew that the military department would turn around and find him, so he could only persuade people to go back and talk to Bai Ko with a smile.
The military department took a fancy to the magnesium rod and knew that it was a good thing, it could be ignited smoothly in the field in wind and rain, this was an excellent military supply, but it was a nail in front of Bai Ko and Gu Yun, business is business, and there is no love to do business with the imperial court, and it is not good to have a penny of interest.
If you put it on other imperial merchants, you will never dare to be so tough, and the old men of the military department are notoriously stinky tempered, but in front of Gu Yun and Bai Ko, they have to put down the shelf and have something to say.
The magnesium rod was recommended by the prince to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War saw that the court knew that he wanted technical standards, and when he saw that the business was not discussed, the prince threw Wei Qian out and asked him to persuade him in the middle, and it was a big deal to spend more money to buy technical standards, and the annual patent fee would be forgotten.
Wei Qian braved the rain to go to the workshop of Xile Fang to find Bai Ko, and there was only time for a pot of tea, so Wei Qian went back to the prince in the rain with a happy face.
Bai Ko gave the Ministry of War a suggestion to make money, magnesium rod is a tool for making fire in the wild, does not involve military secrets, can be taken out for sale, because the material is of excellent quality, and can be sold at a high price, ordinary people can not afford it, but it can be sold to foreign merchants and foreign missions, they eat and sleep, travel long distances, just need this kind of practical tools, a mission or foreign caravan, as little as a thousand, as many as tens of thousands of people, think about how much this is a shipment.
Wei Qian took out a slip of paper and handed it to the prince, on which was written the advertising slogan proposed by Bai Ko.
Military quality, trustworthy, lifelong companionship, inheritance of the future.
The prince was amused, touched his chin and admitted that he was a little moved, Wei Qian observed the words and expressions on the side, knowing that there was a way for this business, and he smiled silently in his heart.
The deal was now transferred back to the prince and the military department to negotiate on their own, and the household department was also brought in to negotiate, and Bai Ko knew that the high-level level involved was not so quick to make a balanced decision, so she threw the business behind.
After another two or three days, the rain stopped, the sun reappeared, and Jiang Yueyi, who had been prepared early, was personally driven by Ma Hao's son Ma Hong, and according to the intelligence, went to the construction site of the match factory Fenglin Fang.
The construction site of the factory has set up a fence, and the side of the wall facing the street has been painted with a lot of slogans and paintings of safety production, as well as various poems and songs, and the entire construction site has been enclosed on the wall with bright colors, because there are many words, the people in the workshop have unconsciously followed a lot of words, and even some people have named the children in the family to come to the front of the wall to pick out the good words.
Ma Hong drove the carriage around the wall, he also came for the first time, he looked at it and felt very novel, Jiang Yueyi in the car read the poems and songs on the wall, and found that he couldn't understand what this Bai Kobai was thinking, spending all this extra money on this wall decoration, how many literate people are? Isn't this a blind man lighting a lamp in vain?
"Miss, it's really incomprehensible for this Mr. Bai to do things, the walls are so colorful, these poems and songs are given to the people to see, how many of them can understand?" Nanyan twisted his face back, looking unimpressed.
"What about her territory, let her be happy, maybe there is some profound intention, but we haven't realized it."
"What other profound purpose can there be, spending so much paint and painting so many walls, it can't just be for people to learn to read, right?" Nanyan covered his mouth and chuckled, "Does anyone really learn to read from this?" ”
"Who knows."
Jiang Yueyi pursed her lips and was about to say something when Ma Hong's voice came in outside the car.
"Miss, we're almost at the gate of the construction site."
Jiang Yueyi answered, straightened her sleeves, and Nanyan helped her smooth the wrinkles of the clothes on her back.
"Nanyan, don't let the people on the construction site hear what you said just now, they are all facing Bai Ko, talk nonsense and be careful to be beaten."
Nanyan stuck out his tongue and nodded honestly.
According to the plan, Jiang Yueyi got off the bus at the gate of the factory, pretending to be curious to hear the interesting things on the cultural wall, and created a chance encounter with Bai Ko.
