Chapter 149: The Whistleblower
The Kong family's mansion in Shanghai, there are few people left in the huge place. Kong Xi and his wife returned to Jin Province, and Kong Lingkan became the master of the house. The old butler who stayed behind couldn't stop this troublemaker at all, so he could only follow him to help calm the situation. However, today the young master was very quiet, and he actually met the visiting guests in the living room.
"Big brother, you haven't come for a while, brother, I miss it very much!"
Looking at Kong Lingkan, who was clasping his fists and trying his best to pretend to be the head of the family, Wang Mengxiong snorted and said, "Okay, our brothers have a lifelong friendship, so don't talk to me about this." The kidneys are missing, why don't you say that the waist is also missing? ”
Kong Lingkan's serious face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he laughed and said, "Brother Wang Fan, I just like to listen to what you say." That's right, the kidney is the kidney, and the kidney is the kidney. Cheng, I'll greet others like this in the future to see if he can understand! ”
"Alright, don't make trouble, let's get down to business!" Wang Mengxiong looked at this out-of-tune little brother of the Kong family, and couldn't help but have a headache. To describe him as a secondary two teenager, he is really high, at this level, at most he is a kindergarten class. The two brothers joked that it was called enhancing their relationship, if they greeted their elders, relatives and friends like this, they must not make people think that they had run out of Castle Peak Mental Hospital!
"Oh, isn't there any fortune to take care of the younger brother?"
Recently, Kong Lingkan has been a little tight, and his life is tight. Before Kong Xi and his wife returned to Jin Province, they were afraid that he would spend money indiscriminately, so they deliberately confiscated his private money and handed it over to the housekeeper for safekeeping. If you want to spend money, it's not impossible, as long as you have the right reason, you can spend it casually after managing household appliances and inviting Kong Xi. Kong Lingkan has no valid reason, he thinks about playing tricks all day long, fighting cocks and raising dogs, or pretending to be a big head to go to the restaurant, can this reason be handled? If you make a little money with Wang Fan, not only will your waist harden, but the father of the Kong family will feel that the child is good and can do serious things.
Of course, Wang Mengxiong knew what kind of person this kid was, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the door. There are some things that can be said directly to Jing Dingcheng, but when you come to Kong Lingkan, it is obviously unrealistic for you to tell him to serve the country and the people, but if you want to talk about how to make money, you must be interested.
"There's a piece of news, I don't know if it's true or not. But once this news is true, then we can operate in advance, and then we can make at least three times the profit. ”
"What's the news?" Kong Lingkan's heart was pounding, this is really sleepy and sending pillows, his wish has come true! is short of money to spend, and the eldest brother has a message. He knew that Wang Mengxiong's ability, whether it was killing people or making money, far surpassed his peers, and even his own father secretly praised him many times.
"Come on, don't sell it. I don't know about you yet, it's not a sure thing, and if you're not very sure, you won't take it out. ”
Kong Lingkan's impatience can be seen from the side that he trusts Wang Mengxiong, which makes him more confident about this trip.
The old housekeeper saw that his young master was going to talk to Wang Mengxiong about a big matter, so he hurriedly sent the maid who was standing aside, so as not to leak the news. But just when he was about to go out to avoid suspicion, he was stopped by Wang Mengxiong.
"The old housekeeper is not an outsider, and Uncle Kong is not here, so I also need you to help Ling Kan make a decision, so I will stay and listen to it together."
In fact, Wang Mengxiong wished that the more people heard the news, the better, but it seemed a bit fake to do it so deliberately. Therefore, after the servant goes out, let the old housekeeper stay, and immediately sell it inadvertently, and have another way to pass on the news, why not.
"According to reliable internal sources, influenza epidemics that are prevalent in Europe and the United States and have a very high fatality rate have appeared in Shanghai. According to the moral nature of local officials, this highly contagious disease will spread to the whole country in a short period of time if prevention and control work is not done in advance. If we can stock up on a batch of medicinal herbs for the treatment of wind and cold in advance, we can transport it to several important cities. So once the outbreak of the epidemic breaks out, there are two benefits. First, strange goods can be lived. It is possible to multiply or multiply this life-saving medicinal material several times or more than ten times at a critical moment. The second is to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Let's hoard medicinal materials in advance, so as not to run out of medical treatment and medicine in the outbreak of the epidemic, and think about how many people's lives can be saved. Besides, we won't raise the price so much, fix three times the profit, and never sit on the ground to make a fortune! This kind of business that kills two birds with one stone, I don't know if you are willing to do it, dare to do it? ”
Before Kong Lingkan could say anything, the old housekeeper was trembling in his heart after hearing this. He's older and has experienced far more than these two little kids. In this era, famine, war, flood and drought disasters can always leave some way to live, and it is a big deal to leave your hometown to flee, and you will have a way to live if you are willing to beg for a bite to eat. But the plague is not, once it breaks out, whether you have money or not, whether you are rich or poor, the plague will treat everyone equally. After a plague, the tragic situation of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and white bones exposed in the wilderness was everywhere.
"If the news is true, I have to call the lord of Jin Province immediately, and I also have to send a message to the family members who stay in Jin Province, so that you can be prepared!"
Wang Mengxiong saw the old housekeeper's thoughtful look, and knew that no matter what, there was already a source of news divergence.
Kong Lingkan said excitedly: "Ken, why don't you want to." If you refuse to do this kind of good thing, you will become a fool. Still, the news was so shocking that I couldn't believe it. Brother Wang Fan, you have to be completely sure, otherwise it doesn't matter if you lose some money, let the officials say that we are bewitching the public and disturbing the people's hearts, this crime is not trivial! ”
"The accuracy of the supposedly accurate information must be very high, but nothing can be sure of everything. Risk and return are proportional, if you don't take a little risk, you want to get several times the return, and such a good thing will not be your turn or me! ”
Although Wang Mengxiong can be sure that this news is true, he still understands the truth that there is room for doing things. In the event that the source is traced afterwards, it can be said that it is a conversation from passers-by. However, he also knows that once the epidemic breaks out, it is too late for officials to fight the epidemic, so how can they care about the news released by whom?
However, for the sake of authenticity, he still specially instructed: "You can also understand the business opportunities and gold content contained in this news, and whoever makes a move in advance is a matter of fame and fortune." Therefore, the confidentiality work must be done well, and when our medicinal materials are purchased and stored in different locations, even if the news leaks out, we can still seize the opportunity, and the benefits account for the majority. Remember, don't pass it on! ”
Kong Lingkan nodded again and again, and suddenly looked back at the old housekeeper. "You also heard what my brother Wang Fan said, right? If the news leaks, I'll be the first to ask you! ”
The old butler shook his hand again and again: "I am old and frail, dizzy and deaf, and I haven't heard anything!" ”
Wang Mengxiong sneered secretly: "Old guy, deliberately pretend to be deaf and dumb, and play with me." But this time, you took the initiative to get in, I'm afraid that you won't pass on the news! ”
On the same day, Wang Mengxiong and Kong Lingkan agreed that both parties would contribute their own capital, and they used the assets of the Axe Gang and Kong Mansion as collateral respectively, and borrowed a large amount of money from the bank. Immediately, personnel were dispatched to purchase in the major medicinal material distribution centers across the country, and for a while, the goods in the hands of many merchants became in short supply, and they increased their procurement efforts. Who knew that two days later, a larger wave of money swept in, so that the medicinal materials for the treatment of wind and cold quickly bottomed out and were out of stock, no matter how many times the price increased, it was simply priceless.
At the same time, a news about the global pandemic spread far and wide, and ordinary people knew that they went to the pharmacy to grab two pieces of medicine to prepare, and they also stocked up a lot of daily necessities.
