Volume 2 Luoyang Xing Chapter 149 Give face
What Wei Xuzhong said made sense, Lu Xiaoxian nodded slightly, and asked again: "Brother Wei, can you tell me, what is the background of this drunken skybuilding?" ”
"His owner is Wang Hufeng!" Wei Xuzhong said slowly.
"Wang Hufeng?" Lu Xiaoxian was a little curious, "Who is Wang Hufeng?" ”
"You don't know Wang Hufeng? Really? Wei Xuzhong felt a little incredible, he looked Lu Xiaoxian up and down, "Even a three-year-old child in Luoyang knows Wang Hufeng, but the housekeeper of the dignified Zhang Mansion doesn't know Wang Hufeng, Brother Lu, are you kidding me?" ”
"Brother Wei! I really haven't heard of him! Lu Xiaoxian said honestly.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian didn't seem to be joking, Wei Xuzhong no longer hung his appetite, and coughed lightly: "Then I'll tell you about this Wang Hufeng!" Wang Hufeng is known as the richest man in the world, he is a genius in business......"
After listening to Wei Xuzhong's speech, Lu Xiaoxian knew that Wang Hufeng was really not simple.
When he was thirteen years old, Wang Hufeng's uncle brought back more than a dozen truckloads of local specialty silk shoes from Anzhou and distributed them to the children.
Later, there was a large open space in the ancestral hall of Uncle Wang Hufeng's house, he swept more than ten buckets of elm money, took out half a tael of silver from selling shoes, built two shovels, and used those two shovels to reclaim the vacant land every day, sow elm money, and worked hard to irrigate, and actually planted tens of millions of elm saplings.
In the first year, he cut more than a dozen bundles of elms and sold them for more than ten yuan to make firewood, and in the second year, he sold more than 200 bundles, and his profit increased several times. After having an income, Wang Hufeng calmed down and patiently planted elm trees.
Five years later, the saplings have grown into more than 1,000 rafters for building houses, and countless pieces of wood can be used to build cars. This year, he was just twenty years old.
After Wang Hufeng had the funds, he began to hire people to make magic candles, and I don't know what method he used, and the firepower of the magic candles made was twice that of ordinary firewood. In the middle of summer, Chang'an was rainy, and the heavy rain for several days caused the price of firewood to skyrocket and seriously run out of stock. The magic candles suddenly became a hot commodity, all of them were sold out, and Wang Hufeng made a lot of money.
After that, he began to resell tea and silk, purchased a large amount of land in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, hired people to farm, and opened a rice grain store. Over the years, he has gradually accumulated amazing wealth, silk shops, rice grain houses, and tea houses all over the Tang Dynasty, which can be described as rich and rich.
Wu Zetian set the capital of Luoyang, and Wang Hufeng also moved to Luoyang. He bought a large mansion in Yongtai Fang, next to Luoyang South City, and the people called Wang Hufeng's mansion "Wangjiafu Grotto".
It is said that his house is made of silver stacks as the walls, and the Lixian room in the house is made of sandalwood as the threshold, with the ground of the stump, with the brocade stone as the pillar base, and the copper coins are paved on the path of the back garden, saying that this can be anti-slip. In front of his bed, there are two boys carved with sandalwood, holding the Qibao Boshan furnace, and burning incense from dusk to dawn. The utensils and treasures in Wang Hufeng's house are much better than those of the princes and ministers, and the people of the Quartet admire him and are proud to know him, and he is also very hospitable, often receiving guests from all over the world, to meet the preferences and needs of the guests to the greatest extent, and the guests are all at home......
Since ancient times, money and power have been born together.
Although Wang Hufeng has no power, he has money, and with money he can make friends with people with power.
It is said that even Wu Chengsi, the king of Wei, and Wu Sansi, the king of Liang, the two most popular princes of the Wu family, also had a close relationship with Wang Hufeng.
No wonder Wei Xuzhong thinks that Yonghelou is dead, just because this involves Hu Feng, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Xiaoxian was about to open his mouth when he suddenly heard a commotion from the lobby, and the sound grew louder and louder from afar, all the way in the direction of their private room.
"Guest officer, this private room has been booked, if you want to eat, I'll choose another one for you!" Xiao Er begged bitterly.
Xiao Er's voice was hurried: "Guest officer, there are really people inside, can you go in!" ”
"Smack!" I heard a crisp sound, and a deep voice reprimanded, "Get out of the way, don't be nosy!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the door of the private room was kicked open, and more than a dozen murderous men surrounded an old man in a fancy costume poured in, and the private room was immediately full.
Seeing the old man in gorgeous clothes led by him, Wei Xuzhong's mouth was bitter, and his heart sank into a bottomless pit.
It's not that the enemies don't get together, obviously Wang Xiaojie didn't meet Wei Xuzhong by chance, but came specifically to find him unlucky.
At this moment, Wei Xuzhong regretted a little, he didn't stay at home, why did he have to come to drink early in the morning?
"General Wang!" Wei Xuzhong swallowed and stammered, "There may be a little misunderstanding between us!" ”
Who knew that Wang Xiaojie didn't pay attention to Wei Xuzhong at all, but stared at Lu Xiaoxian with wide eyes: "Master Lu, why are you here?" ”
Wei Xuzhong looked at Wang Xiaojie and then at Lu Xiaoxian, and secretly guessed in his heart how the two of them could know each other.
"General, Brother Wei and I are old friends, and I specially invited him to drink here today," Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian replied very seriously, "I don't know why the general has time to come here, why don't you have two drinks together?" ”
"I won't drink the wine, I just want to ask, are you old friends?" Wang Xiaojie pointed at Wei Xuzhong, and asked with some disbelief: "How did you know each other?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian told Wang Xiaojie about the process of his acquaintance with Wei Xuzhong.
At the end, Lu Xiaoxian sighed with emotion: "If it wasn't for Brother Wei's help, I'm afraid I would have been buried in Panzhou, so Brother Wei is not only my old friend, but also my benefactor!" ”
"I see!" Wang Xiaojie nodded at Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, I won't hide it from you, I have some holidays with him." Since he is a friend of Lu Gongzi, then I will let him go! ”
As soon as he heard Wang Xiaojie's words, Wei Xuzhong almost didn't kiss Lu Xiaoxian, and his tears were about to fall.
Lu Xiaoxian gave Wang Xiaojie a deep salute: "Thank you, General!" ”
Wang Xiaojie glared at Wei Xuzhong: "The surname is Wei, if it weren't for Lu Gongzi, I would definitely make your life worse than death." I have to give Mr. Lu's face, and from today onwards, our grievances will be written off. ”
After that, Wang Xiaojie hugged Lu Xiaoxian: "Lu Gongzi! I'll treat you to a drink another day! Leave! ”
Watching a group of people leave in a hurry, Wei Xuzhong let out a long breath and almost didn't sit on the ground.
He looked at Lu Xiaoxian and asked strangely, "Brother Lu, how did you know this old guy?" ”
Of course, Lu Xiaoxian wouldn't tell Wei Xuzhong, he only knew him because he sent a message to Wang Xiaojie, and he said without changing his face: "Oh! It was the two masters of my family who knew him, so I followed suit! ”
Wei Xuzhong didn't doubt it at all, nodded and said, "Brother Lu, of course you have your back against the big tree!" My brother is envious of you! ”
