Chapter 142: Contribution

The second more, the fat chapter, ask for pink.

……

Wan Jiashu was very good at words, and carefully introduced the situation of Hong Wan's two fleets, saying that Mu Hong, Qi Younian and the Ji family were very welcome to join the fleet.

The matter of buying shares was decided immediately.

As for the exact amount of shares that each family will invest, it will continue to be discussed.

Mu Hong was an anxious man, so he discussed it with the Shen family, and the family took out 5,000 taels of silver to buy shares. Qi Younian didn't have any spare money on hand, but when he saw that Mu Hong gave out 5,000, he didn't know what he thought, so he also took 5,000 taels of silver the next day.

Ji Xiaotang was slightly surprised, since she knew that the Hong family's fleet was lucrative from going to sea to trade, she had the idea of taking everyone to make a fortune together. Qi Younian didn't have anything to do, she knew that she was planning to lend Qi Younian money in private.

Qi Younian is ambitious and talented, but if he wants to be promoted, these are not enough. Qi Younian also needs opportunities and financial support.

Ji Xiaotang plans to use the advantages of his rebirth as much as possible to provide Qi Younian with opportunities. As for financial support, she also took it into account.

"Ayo, where did you get the money?" On this day, Qi Younian came over, and Ji Xiaotang found an opportunity to quietly ask Qi Younian.

"Oh......" Qi Younian hesitated slightly.

Everyone knows that his family background is ordinary, if he said to Ji Xiaotang at this time, it happened that his mother was afraid that he was short of money, so she sent someone to send him some bodywork, but I was afraid that Ji Xiaotang would not believe it.

If Ji Xiaotang wants to believe it, he has to give up his family background.

Qi Younian didn't plan to hide his family background from Ji Xiaotang, but now is not the time to say it.

"I have my own way...... Qi Younian had to say to Ji Xiaotang. It means that Ji Xiaotang doesn't have to worry about it.

"Do you have any way to find someone to borrow it? It's better to find someone else than to find me. Ji Xiaotang said.

Qi Younian smiled and only said that he didn't borrow it. But how he got the money, he would not say.

Ji Xiaotang was surprised in his heart, but looking at Qi Younian's face, he thought about it again, and didn't ask any more questions. Ji Xiaotang believes that there will be nothing wrong with the origin of Qi Younian's silver.

As for Qi Younian's refusal to borrow money from her, I think it depends on her young age and the fact that she is a girl's family.

"How much silver does Xiaotang plan to take into shares?" Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang.

"I'm going to give you some more silver." Ji Xiaotang said. "However, this has to be agreed by my mother and my father."

If it's just a small fight, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San can call the shots. But Ji Xiaotang is obviously not a small fight.

Master Ji San also asked Ji Xiaotang this question.

"One hundred thousand taels. At least 100,000 taels. This is the answer Ji Xiaotang gave at that time.

Master Ji San also wanted to give up some more silver, but the amount that Ji Xiaotang said still surprised him.

"So much silver!" This amount was invested in the fleet of the two families of Hong Wan. I'm afraid it's the biggest shareholder.

And this. is also Ji Xiaotang's plan.

Not only does she want the fleet to bring her a steady stream of wealth, she also wants to have a voice in the fleet.

"What, Uncle thinks it's too risky? Not worth it? Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San.

Speaking of adventure, no one in the Ji family has a more adventurous spirit than Master Ji San.

"It's not." Master Ji San smiled, it was almost useless to think about it, and Master Ji San planned to support Ji Xiaotang's decision. "I just didn't expect that. Xiaotang, this is a big deal. ”

Although the Ji family has a lot of background, it has also spent a lot in the past two years.

One hundred thousand taels. Even for the Ji family, it is not a small amount that can be decided lightly.

"Would your dad agree?" Master Ji San is worried about this.

"Let's try to convince my dad that it is." Ji Xiaotang said. As soon as he discussed, he wrote a letter to Master Ji Er.

In the letter, Ji Xiaotang also explained the affairs of Wanjia Village to Master Ji Er, and finally mentioned that he wanted to invest in the fleet.

Master Ji's reply arrived quickly.

To the surprise of Ji Xiaotang and Ji San, Ji Er happily agreed to their shareholding in the letter. The shareholding is certain, but when it comes to the number of shares, Master Ji said that it is a matter of importance, and he has to discuss it with Master Ji.

The Ji family is not his alone, such a big thing has to be approved by the three brothers.

Master Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San in the letter that he had sent someone to send the letter to Master Ji, and there would be a reply soon.

In the end, the second master Ji also specially instructed the two of them to say "wealth must not be exposed". The Ji family's plan to invest in 100,000 taels of silver really doesn't need to be publicized.

In this matter, even if Second Master Ji didn't specifically ask for it, Ji Xiaotang knew how powerful it was, so naturally he wouldn't make a big deal about it.

"Will the eldest uncle agree?" Putting down the letter from Master Ji Er, Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San.

"I can't say for sure." Master Ji San frowned slightly. He is much younger than the two brothers, and compared to the second master Ji, he is even more estranged from the old man Ji.

Master Ji San's impression of Master Ji is very thin, and not all of them have a good impression.

"Your great uncle...... Oh......" Master Ji San was vague, as if he was hiding something from Ji Xiaotang.

"Uncle, I've always been weird. Great Uncle...... Why, I always feel that my uncle's family is very distant from us. Ji Xiaotang took the opportunity to ask Master Ji San.

"I can't say that exactly. I didn't have you at that time, and I was still young. Master Ji San said, obviously unwilling to talk deeply on this topic, or he really didn't know. Whatever, we don't have to worry about it anyway. ”

Master Ji San has already told Wan Jiashu that the Ji family will pay a considerable amount of silver, but the specific amount has not yet been decided. Wan Jiashu had already received funding from the Mu family and Qi Younian, and when he heard Master Ji San say this, he was naturally happy.

On this day, Ji Xiaotang came to find Master Ji San again, and it happened that Wan Jiashu was also there.

"Wan Gongzi, have you ever thought about it. Open a shop in Fucheng. I mean, foreign goods shops. Ji Xiaotang was about to find Wan Jiashu, and immediately said.

Wan Jiashu's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"What do you mean, the third girl?"

What the fleet brought back from overseas. Generally, it is resold to merchants at the wharf, and the merchants are then transported to various places to buy and sell, and make a profit from it. Ji Xiaotang had read the gift list sent by Wan Jiashu that day, and she thought that many of the things brought back by the fleet from overseas should also be very popular in Ren'an Mansion.

Although Wanjia Village is doing overseas trade, Ren'an's foreign goods market is still blank.

When Ji Xiaotang saw Wan Jiashu's eyes light up, he knew that he should also think of this.

Compared with selling to merchants, it is worry-free and fast. Although it is a bit more difficult to run your own shop, it is not a small profit. Moreover, if your own shop is too open. You don't need to rely on traders, and that's a much broader prospect.

Wan Jiashu is already very talented in business, and the mention of broker Xiaotang is even more comprehensive.

"This time I'm going to Fucheng. I saved a few points. It's just that we're redneck......" Wan Jiashu laughed.

The matter of opening a foreign goods store was decided in this way.

The first foreign goods store was naturally opened in Fucheng. Ji Xiaotang asked Wan Jiashu to find a shop, and also arranged for a steward from the Mu Mansion to accompany him.

"You can find the right shop, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Ji Xiaotang sued sΓΉ Wan Jiashu.

This side sent Wan Jiashu to find a shop, and Ji Xiaotang came to discuss with the Shen family and the Zhang family again.

"This is different from the fleet shares, it should not cost much money, and the return is fast. I thought. If my grandmother and aunt are interested, we will scrape together some money. If you take a stake in this shop, you will be able to earn a few fat powder money every month in the future. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Both Shen and Zhang laughed.

Although Mu Hong refused Wan Jiashu's generous gifts, Wan Jiashu brought a lot of overseas things, and Shen and Zhang liked it very much when they saw it, and they already planned to buy it from Wan Jiashu in private.

The three of them discussed for a while, and then they all nodded.

"I don't have much private room, and I only have two hundred taels to collect and collect." Shen said.

Zhang's private room is not as many as Shen's, and he can't get past his mother-in-law, so he said that he would make up a hundred taels.

"I will also give a hundred taels," Ji Xiaotang said, her private room is naturally more than a hundred taels. "In addition, there are my mother, my sister, by the way, and Xiao Changsheng, who is also a hundred per person."

Ji Xiaotang alone gave out four hundred taels, and the mother and son got together, which was seven hundred taels of silver.

Master Ji San knew about it, so he took his own private room and pasted it to Ji Xiaotang, and made up enough 1,000 taels of silver to buy the shares of the first foreign goods store in Ren'an Mansion.

Wan Jiashu also quickly found a shop, and Ji Xiaotang took out the money and put the shop down. Tidy up the shop and invite guys and other things, with Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao brothers to help each other, it is naturally very smooth.

At the end of May, Ji Xiaotang asked for an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the foreign goods store was officially opened.

Because the news was spread before, on the first day of opening, the foreign goods store was almost crowded by the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, and it made a lot of money.

Wan Jiashu came over to ask for his resignation in a hurry.

He didn't expect that YiqiΔ“ would go so smoothly, seeing that the goods in his hand would soon be sold out, he had to go back quickly, firstly, to report clearly to his family, and secondly, to mobilize more foreign goods into the city.

Wan Jiashu left Fucheng and deliberately took a detour to the Luonu Temple to enter the incense. Qi Younian arranged additional manpower to escort Wan Jiashu through Mujiazhai.

At this time, Master Ji Er sent someone to deliver a letter again.

This letter was not all good news.

Master Ji took the letter from Master Ji Er and quickly replied to the letter. Master Ji did not agree to the matter of taking a stake in the fleet. Master Ji believes that it is too risky for the fleet to go to sea, and it is a lucky thing to be able to go back and forth once out of ten.

The Ji family cultivates and reads heirlooms, so they don't have to take a large amount of money to take this risk.

In addition, Master Ji also said that it is important for scholars to be noble, implying that Master Ji should not spend time on making money in business, and lose the nobility of scholars.

Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San looked at the letter together, and both of them blackened their faces.

However, what Master Ji said next in the letter made the faces of the two slowly improve.

Second Master Ji said that since Master Ji did not agree, he could not use the money in the public school. Second Master Ji is willing to take out the assets in his name and invest in the fleet.

Second Master Ji couldn't take out 100,000 taels, his savings for several years as an official, plus all the other things, as well as Mrs. Ji's private house, made up a total of 50,000 taels.

This amount is almost out of the pocket for the second master Ji.

"It's still the second brother, my own second brother." Master Ji San looked at the letter, and was moved, and when he saw Ji Xiaotang, he added, "He is also Xiaotang's father." ”

"My father can only give 50,000 yuan, and I have to find a way with my uncle for the rest." Ji Xiaotang finished reading the letter and put it away, and said to Master Ji San.

"I don't have much money in my house, unless I go back and secretly sell everything in my house. Xiaotang, how much ...... do you have" Master Ji San thought about it and asked Ji Xiaotang.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ New Year's money, jewelry, clothes, rulers, and gifts......" Ji Xiaotang called Xiu'er.

Xiu'er is in charge of her money and valuables. According to Xiu'er's estimate, all of Ji Xiaotang's private houses are added together, that is, there are five thousand taels.

Ji Xiaotang felt that it was less, but Master Ji San was a little speechless. In this, naturally, not counting the valuable ornaments in Ji Xiaotang's house, those are all things in the Ji family.

"Xiaotang, you are so good at saving money." Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang, compared to Ji Xiaotang, his uncle was a little embarrassed.

"It's Xiu'er who helps me take care of it." Ji Xiaotang said.

The two of them, uncle and nephew, cleaned their private rooms, and at most they could scrape together 10,000 taels of silver.

There was also a vacancy of forty thousand taels of silver.

"If I can get that seal from my father and sell it, I guess the silver will be enough." Ji Xiaotang said to himself.

However, the seal could not be sold.

"For today's plan, uncle, I have to rely on you." Ji Xiaotang's gaze turned to Master Ji San.

"What can I do?" Master Ji San said first, and then his eyes lit up, "Xiaotang, what do you have in mind?" Say it, and Uncle will do it. ”

"What's the idea? Of course, it was the idea to beat our old lady. Ji Xiaotang squinted his eyes and smiled.

Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San to dig out Mrs. Ji's private room. Mrs. Ji's private room is actually Mrs. Ji's things.

Master Ji San touched his nose and seriously considered the feasibility of this matter.

"Only Uncle can do this." As for how Master Ji San was going to coax Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaotang didn't plan to worry about it.

"Okay, then Uncle will give it a try." Master Ji San quickly made a decision, whether it was a trick or a coax, he planned to dig out the silver from Mrs. Ji.

"That's it, Uncle has to go back to Qingyuan." Ji Xiaotang said.

Master Ji San returned to Qingyuan, and Mrs. Ji should be the happiest person.

"Let's just say that I miss the old lady, go back and see her old man." Master Ji San also squinted his eyes and smiled. (To be continued......)
