What Ji Xinyu didn't expect was that the next day Xue Rui followed the housekeeper to Lingzhou Mansion and handed over a name card to see Ji Xinyu. After Ji Xinyu learned about it, he was first curious about the reason for Xue Rui's visit, and then found that he had no place ......to receive guests now, and the Shizi Mansion arranged by He Xingwang for him had not yet been built, and even the Sanjin courtyard for temporary residence had not been fully completed, and now he finally knew why He Xingwang insisted on building such a large mansion.

In the end, Ji Xinyu could only let Liumian clean up a relatively complete living room in the small courtyard of Sanjin where he lived temporarily, so that he could have a place to meet Xue Rui, but fortunately, Xue Rui had a four-wheeled carriage and the cement road he saw at the intersection in his heart, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with receiving him in the temporary courtyard.

"Mr. Xue smiled, my Lingchuan Mansion has just been established, and I don't have a decent place to entertain guests, and I still look at Haihan." After Ji Xinyu and Xue Rui sat down, Ji Xinyu opened his mouth to apologize to Xue Rui, who was still in a state of surprise.

Xue Rui also bowed: "The prince is polite, Xue Mou's failure to visit the prince's Lingchuan Mansion in time is rude." ”

"Mr. Xue is serious, I don't know why Mr. Xue came to my newly built Lingchuan Mansion this time?" Ji Xinyu already had a guess about the purpose of Xue Rui's visit, this Xue Rui knew his identity and did not come to visit, maybe he also knew the contradiction between Ji Yushan and Lingchuan Mansion, and this time he took the initiative to visit, probably because of the hot sale of soap and the freight four-wheeled carriage.

The transportation needs of the Xue family firm in various places are many, and the carrying capacity of the four-wheeled carriage is more than twice that of the two-wheeled carriage, and it is also very stable, and the speed is much faster than the original carriage, which is very important for the Xue family firm. After such analysis, this Xue Rui is a successful businessman who has the ability to have ideas, knows how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and balances the pros and cons, and he can cooperate for a long time, but he can't fully believe it for the time being, let alone share any of his secrets.

Xue Rui looked up at Ji Xinyu and said with a smile: "The prince is really fast-talking, he is really a man of temperament, no wonder he can establish such a big family business in a short period of time, and such a flat road outside has only been seen by Xue Mou in his life, which is really admirable." The soap made by the prince is even more amazing, and it can be appreciated by the prince and sold on his behalf, and Xue is also grateful. ”

Ji Xinyu waved his hand and said, "Soap please ask Mr. Xue to sell, it seems to be a very wise choice now." It's only been less than a month, and the 30,000 yuan has been sold out, so I want to thank Mr. Xue. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, this time Xue came to hope to increase the supply of soap, if it can be increased to 100,000 pieces per month, then Xue will spread to the state capitals of Qiongzhou can be regarded as benefiting the people." Xue Rui looked at Ji Xinyu and said.

"There is no problem with 100,000 yuan, and it will be supplied next month, but as far as I know, there are only more than 10,000 households in Qiongzhou City, and there are only more than 70,000 households in the entire Qiongzhou Island, and about 300,000 people, these 100,000 pieces of soap ...... Isn't it a bit much? Ji Xinyu asked with a smile.

Xue Rui smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the world, Xue really wants to transport a batch to Leizhou, Gaozhou and other places to sell." In addition, Gaozhou Mansion and Zhaoqing Mansion have been invaded by Japanese invaders recently, and the branch of the Xue family firm over there has also suffered heavy losses. ”

Ji Xinyu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not a secret, the recent rapid production of soap is directly related to the large amount of lard supplied by the Xue family firm. Although lard is not a valuable item, but the purchase is time-consuming and laborious, as long as Mr. Xue can purchase lard in time, my soap will give you 100,000 yuan There is no problem. ”

Xue Rui nodded hurriedly and said: "Xue has asked the Xue family firms in the state capitals of Qiongzhou and the entire Leizhou and Lianzhou prefectures to collect everywhere, and now they have collected a lot, and they will be transported to your mansion one after another in the near future, and the rest is still being collected, I believe that there will be results soon, and I will notify the semicolons of Gaozhou, Zhaoqing and other prefectures to collect them together, and I believe that there is no problem in supplying them to the prince." ”

Ji Xinyu nodded when he heard this, thinking that this Xue Rui is really not simple, there are semicolons in so many places, as well as the semicolons of Bashu, Jiangnan and Beijing that have not been mentioned, so it seems that the semicolons of the Xue family are almost all over the country.

looked up at Xue Rui, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with Mr. Xue being so supportive, I can supply you with 100,000 yuan next month, and then if the lard is sufficient, it can be increased." ”

"Then there is Lao Shizi, and in addition, Xue is here today, and there is one more thing to ask for." Xue Rui arched his hand and said.

"Mr. Xue, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Ji Xinyu guessed that he probably wanted a car, so he just nodded and replied.

Xue Rui said with a smile: "Yesterday, I saw that the truck used by Shizi to transport soap was made of stainless steel, and there were four wheels that could still turn, so Xue dared to ask Shizi to sell a few cars to Xue, so as to solve the transportation difficulties of Xue's firm." ”

"What's so hard about that? This son is in charge of giving Mr. Xue one, and he can take it away directly after a while. Ji Xinyu waved his hand and said generously.

Xue smiled and said with an embarrassed face: "Thank you Shizi, it's just that one may not be enough, and I ask Shizi to open a price, Xue wants to order ten cars first, and then hopes to increase it to 50 cars." ”

"Ten? Mr. Xue may not know how difficult it is to make this car! Please come with me. After Ji Xinyu finished speaking, he took Xue Rui to the truck on the side of the cement road.

Calling the carpenter to open the wood decoration on the outside of the wheel bearing to reveal the bearing inside, Ji Xinyu said: "Mr. Xue, please see, this is the key to this car can be easily driven and save horsepower, this is called the bearing, which needs to be polished through multiple processes, and it can not be completed in one or two days." ”

But I thought in my heart: If Aiden makes a move, it will only take five minutes, but Aiden's production capacity is not comparable to this era, and now there is Xue Rui eyeing only one carriage, if more machinery comes out in the future, it may bring trouble, and you still need to find an excuse for Lingchuan Mansion.

Ji Xinyu's momentary distraction did not attract Xue Rui's attention, and at this moment he was lying on the road carefully studying the bearings on the wheels. After looking at it for a while, he got up and arched his hand and said: "The prince of the world is a great talent, he can come up with such a fine object, and he can also make such a strong and labor-saving carriage, Xue admires." ”

"Mr. Xue is serious, this is just the result of the concerted efforts of the craftsmen of my Shu Wangfu Gongzheng Institute, and I just use it." Ji Xinyu put the credit on the head of the Shu Wangfu Gongzheng who was far away in Bashu, and Xue Rui had no way to verify it anyway.

"I don't know about this carriage...... The prince can sell a few cars to Xue, and Xue transports goods between businesses in various places, and he really needs such a carriage, and he hopes that the prince will be successful. Xue Rui still didn't give up, and bowed down and said.

Ji Xinyu thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Mr. Xue, you see that my Lingchuan Mansion is in ruins, and I hope you will support me a lot in the future, my son hopes to reach some long-term cooperation with Mr. Xue, such as Mr. Xue's lead, alum, cinnabar, saltpeter, sulfur, etc., all of which need to be supplied for a long time." In addition, there are many minerals in the Shu Wangfu of Bashu, and now I don't know what it is, and it is inconvenient for this son to disobey his father's order to leave Qiongzhou, so he can only repair a book, and I hope that Mr. Xue can send someone to the Shu Wangfu to communicate one or two, and transport some cotton, saltpeter and sulfur over I don't know if it is possible? ”

Ji Xinyu saw that Xue Rui's business scope was so large, and now he wanted a carriage, so he could only try to ask him to help communicate with the Shu Palace, and it would be best if he brought some needed materials over.

Xue Rui twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, then bowed down and said: "The prince has been sent, Xue should try his best to do it, but Bashu is a long way, and whether it succeeds or not depends on the results of many parties, Xue will send someone to Bashu as soon as possible and try his best to handle this matter for the prince." "The sphere of influence from Qiongzhou to Bashu is complicated, and obviously Xue Rui does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to mobilize the materials of the King of Shu, but it is not bad to have his best promise.

"Then thank you Mr. Xue, the cost of going to Bashu Lingchuan Mansion will definitely not be missing Mr. Xue, as for this four-wheeled freight carriage, I can let people make it as soon as possible, fortunately, there are spare bearings in the house, it should be made soon, and it will be given to Mr. Xue immediately." Ji Xinyu said with a smile.

Xue Rui was stunned when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief: "Did the prince say that he wanted to give it to Xue?" ”

"Yes, ten freight wagons, for Mr. Xue." Ji Xinyu said.

"Don't dare, this carriage is so fine, the whole body is made of steel, the value is definitely not low, Xue does not dare to accept such a big gift, and hopes that the prince will take back his life." Xue Rui said with a deep bow.
