Chapter Forty-Eight: Is This Complicated?

(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection)

Kou Shouxin had experienced that serious illness, and the sharp energy in his heart had long been worn out, and at this moment, he was very anxious in his heart, until he saw Guo Dan and learned that Xu Mengxi was so reasonable, so he was relieved.

But, that's all.

Because this does not mean that the crisis of the Kou family has been resolved, although Xu Mengxuan did not put too much pressure on them, if they fail, their Kou family will still suffer a huge blow.

The benefits are always proportional to the risks.

If this deal is completed, the Kou family will definitely go to the next level, but if it fails, it may go bankrupt.

This is a war for survival for the Kou family, much more dangerous than the last time he traded Chen Lou, Guo Dan naturally understands the stakes, he can no longer turn a deaf ear, for the sake of his own job, he must be fully prepared in case of emergency.

On the second day, Xu Jirong's carriage arrived as scheduled, but Xu Jirong was not in the car, because Guo Dan was going to do business today, Xu Mengxi didn't dare to let Xu Jirong come to make trouble, and borrowed his carriage just to cover up.

Kou Shouxin had no doubts about this, he was used to Xu Jirong coming to Guo Dan every day.

Guo Dan got into the carriage and went to the Earl's Mansion first, because the Liu family didn't dare to plant eyeliner around the Earl's Palace, and stayed in the Earl's Mansion for a while, Guo Dan quietly got another carriage from the back door and went to Chen Fangyuan's residence.

Halfway through, the carriage suddenly paused violently.

Guo Dan's body shook, and he was about to ask, when he suddenly heard the horseman outside shouting in his rough voice: "Don't you walk with long eyes?" ”

I heard someone outside the car: "You are just a horseman, you dare to scold me, treat me to high school in the future, but it depends on whether you dare to be like this today, it is really a dog's eye to look down on people." ”

Guo Dan lifted the curtain slightly, only to see a scholar holding a book, angrily walking by, after the scholar passed, he asked the horseman, "What's the matter?" ”

The horseman immediately said: "Son, forgive me, it's all because this scholar is also reading on the road, and almost crashed into my car, but fortunately, the villain stopped him in time, and he was frightened for a while, so he reprimanded him." ”

It's not uncommon for people to crash into cars. Guo Dan couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Today's scholars are really hardworking!" ”

"Don't you know, in more than a month, there will be a scientific examination."

"Scientific expedition?"

Guo Dan was slightly stunned, and sighed secretly in his heart, Guo Dan had dreamed of entering Beijing to take the exam, but he couldn't even get a show. But when I think about myself, I can't help but smile bitterly again, thinking, buddy, I'm really sorry for this, I can't help you fulfill this wish, because I'm afraid I won't even be able to pass the exam.

After another meal, he finally came to Chen Fangyuan's house.

Yesterday, Chen Fangyuan already knew that Guo Dan was coming back today, he was really excited and didn't sleep all night, that day Guo Dan said that he wanted to reconsider the cooperation between them, he tossed and turned for several nights in a row, and he couldn't sleep because of the gains and losses in his heart.

Therefore, when he saw Guo Dan today, not to mention please, Chen Fangyuan couldn't wait to hug Guo Dan into the house, love him well, and dragged Guo Dan to death, saying that he didn't want to let go, so scared that Guo Dan almost ran away from the door.

"Rou'er, hurry up and call someone!"

Chen Fangyuan said to the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who was pouring tea to Guo Dan.

"Brother Guo is good."

The girl shouted softly.

"Hello."

Guo Dan nodded politely.

The girl pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Chen Fangyuan: "Grandpa, if there is nothing else, Rou'er will go down first." ”

"You go first."

Chen Fangyuan nodded.

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and after the girl went down, he immediately said to Chen Fangyuan: "Grandpa? Isn't this a maid? ”

Chen Fangyuan immediately said: "Whose maid is so beautiful, this is my precious granddaughter, her name is Chen Rou, I don't know what the virtuous nephew will look at?" ”

Guo Dan suddenly realized, and said in his heart, this old man is really a thief, and said angrily: "Uncle Chen, when did you do this matchmaking job." ”

Chen Fangyuan instigated: "Since the virtuous nephew has such ability, what does it matter if he accepts a concubine." ”

He is really eager to get in touch with Guo Dan now.

"Who wants to be your granddaughter, it's really eight lifetimes of mold!" Guo Dan shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a straight face: "Uncle Chen, don't be busy with this, I can give you a clear answer now, it's impossible." ”

Chen Fangyuan said excitedly: "Why is this? Don't the virtuous nephew look down on my precious granddaughter, although my granddaughter is not as good as your wife, but it is more than enough to be a concubine. ”

Guo Dan wanted to cry without tears and said: "I said why don't you understand, this has nothing to do with appearance, your granddaughter is very good, but I don't want to take a concubine, if you continue to talk about it, then the cooperation between us will be ironclad." ”

"Don't, don't."

Chen Fangyuan's face tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I won't say it." After a pause, he said cautiously: "What about our cooperation?" ”

Guo said lightly: "I can not blame the past for the last time, but only this once, if there is a next time, then I will never cooperate with you again." ”

"There will be no next time, and there will never be a next time." Chen Fangyuan hurriedly assured Guo Dan.

Guo Dan nodded, and asked again: "Did Xing'anbo send the information over there?" ”

"It was delivered, it was delivered yesterday."

Chen Fangyuan hurriedly took out the information sent yesterday, handed it to Guo Dan, and said curiously: "Virtuous nephew, what are you going to do this time?" ”

Guo Dan took the information and looked at it, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Chen Fangyuan said: "If there is no virtuous nephew, I even dare to bet that the Kou family will definitely lose." ”

"Don't shoot the sycophants, say something useful." Guo said without raising his head.

Chen Fangyuan smiled embarrassedly, and said: "There are ten major wineries in our capital, and the first three either belong to the royal family, then they belong to the imperial court, and the fourth is Xing'anbo's winery, and the wine of his winery sells better than any one in the future, and I think the potential is more than that, but Xing'anbo didn't care about taking care of the winery before, so Xing'anbo said that he wanted to find a tooth bank to cooperate, and I was very supportive." I think that's why the six major wineries will be persuaded by the Liu family to unite against you. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "If their six major wineries are united, coupled with the strength of the Liu family, no one can underestimate it, and people outside say that this time the Kou family is in a catastrophe, but fortunately, there is a virtuous nephew in the ...... now." ”

Guo Dan suddenly looked up, and the words on Chen Fangyuan's lips immediately turned into a few hehes.

Guo Dan shook his head in annoyance and looked at it carefully.

In fact, he didn't look at and guessed who was behind these wineries, in the Ming Dynasty, just one generation, no matter how powerful it was, it was impossible to establish a big winery, although the commodity economy is relatively developed, but the mainstream is still a small peasant economy, and the model of self-sufficiency has not been replaced.

Therefore, these big wineries do not buy raw materials to make wine, but use their own grain to make wine, so they must have a lot of land, and land needs to be accumulated, and those who can sit on the big wineries must be those big families who have been prosperous for a long time.

Among the six major wineries, two of them belong to the earl, one of them belongs to Xiangcheng Bo Li Gongcheng, that is, Li Shouqi's father, and the other belongs to Xinningbo Tan Guozuo.

Of the remaining four, two belong to the military, after all, the army is also hereditary, and two belong to the famous families in the capital.

Of course, it is said that it is one of the top ten wineries in Beijing, but it does not mean that their wineries are all in Beijing, there are not so many places in Beijing, they have wineries in Nanjing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Uncle Chen, when you used to run a restaurant, which wine did you choose to buy?"

Guo Dan asked suddenly.

Chen Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't laugh at me, how can I choose if I am qualified, I am begging them to sell me wine." ”

"Really?" Guo Dan was stunned.

"Of course it is."

Chen Fangyuan also wondered in his heart, this Guo Dan is extremely smart, why he doesn't know this common sense, but he doesn't dare to ask more, and tells Guo Dan the reason.

It turns out that the Ming Dynasty up to the princes and ministers, down to the peddlers and pawns, all drinking, and can even be said to be addicted to alcohol, thanks to the Ming Dynasty's commercial tax is low and pitiful, and it is not forbidden to make wine, resulting in the situation of national winemaking, generally the big restaurants are from the big wineries to buy wine, and the small shops are from the hands of small landlords to buy wine.

But the problem is that today's productivity is far inferior to Guo Dan's era, and wine needs food, although it is not said that the demand is greater than the supply, but the winery must be a strong party, which is actually a secondary reason for the rise of Jinyulou, that is, Zhou Feng was originally a big landowner, and he also has a small winery, so he does not have so many concerns as Chen Fangyuan.

"I see."

Guo Dan nodded slightly and said, "I ignored this point. By the way, did you keep Chen Lou's accounts in the past? ”

"Most of them were kept, and some of them were given to Zhou Feng'er because of the sale."

Chen Fangyuan stood up and said, "I'll go find it for you now." ”

"I'm sorry Uncle Chen." Guo smiled and nodded.

He has to analyze the current situation in the wine market, especially the proportion of major wineries, in Wall Street, almost all rely on data to speak, and data is the weapon in the hands of analysts, even if you want to blow, you have to use data to blow.

After a while, Chen Fangyuan personally walked in with a stack of ledgers.

Guo Dan hurriedly got up, took the account book in Chen Fangyuan's hand, and half-jokingly said, "Uncle Chen, do you still have to do this yourself?" ”

"Aren't I afraid that too many people will know that you're here?" Chen Fangyuan said with a smile.

Guo nodded with a smile, glanced at Chen Fangyuan with appreciation, and then casually picked up an account book and looked at it.

Chen Fangyuan saw that he was flipping vigorously, and couldn't help but be curious: "Virtuous nephew, what are you looking for?" ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't look for anything, I look at the sales of major wineries." ”

Chen Fangyuan was stunned and said, "Look at it like this? ”

Guo Dan asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”

Chen Fangyuan wondered: "Virtuous nephew, my account books have been settled after a year, and the accounts are more complicated, can you understand such an opinion?" ”

Guo Dan smiled slightly: "Of course you can....... Wait. ”

He suddenly realized a very serious problem and said, "What did you say? Are your accounts more complicated?
