Chapter 0017: Appreciate the History of Humanities and Check Out the Asset Pack!
On the evening of August 24 of the lunar calendar, Hugu, Ah Long, Ah Mao, Jianbang and others drank tea and talked together in the living room of Qinglong Mansion.
"Aaron! Listening to what you said, after tomorrow, you are going to talk to Mr. Qian and them about business, and you have to see a lot of places! The Qian family is not an ordinary family in Qiantang! This was once the capital of Wu Yueguo, the largest city on Liangjiang Road, this city has more than 200,000 citizens, and the urban area has spanned Qiantang and Renhe counties! The area of the city is more than a hundred times that of Xianyuan City! Because the illustrious ancestor of the Qian family, Qian Biao, the king of Wu Yueguo, his hometown is in Lin'an County, not far west of Qiantang, therefore, people prefer to call Qiantang City Lin'an City! I say this, you should know Qian Chufei's status and power in Lin'an City! Between 192 and 121 years ago, Qian Biao and his people established the Wuyue Kingdom in this area! Now, the stars have changed, and the vicissitudes of life have changed! More than 100 years later, it is back to being a place of simplicity for civilians! However, the power, wealth and ethnic group of the Qian family and the Lin'an Army are still strong, so when you negotiate with Boss Qian, you must be polite and polite, and you must not say anything that offends people, nor do things that offend them! Otherwise, we won't be able to gain a foothold in Lin'an City! ”
Hu Gu spoke, and looked at the front of her, this handsome and chic, with a few calm and mature dragon cold wind, Hu Gu seemed to see, there is a dragon Taixuan behind Long Han Feng, Ah Long!
Hu Gu saw that this Ah Long was still the same Ah Long before, he was in the antique shop in the capital, bargaining with the guests, and arguing so red-faced!
Hu Gu looked at Ah Long in a daze, she was very worried that Ah Long would not be able to handle the negotiations and transactions with Boss Qian!
"Tiger Aunt! Don't look at me like that! You look at me like this, it makes my heart panic! You can rest assured! Qian Xiuliu, the son of Qian Chufei's boss, is my schoolmate and confidant! In Xianyuan Town, we have already talked about this business with Boss Qian! As long as we are optimistic about the Qian family's real estate, land, farmland, mountains and other cash credits in Lin'an City, Qiantang County! We can sign a contract, trade, and handle the transfer of assets! Aunt Hu, if you can't rest assured of us, you can go with us tomorrow to meet that Qian boss! ”
Ah Long looked at the tiger aunt and said seriously, and the tiger aunt smiled and said, "Alas! Negotiating and doing business is your man's business! How can I, an old, get involved in your business! You have to feel that there are doubts and problems in the negotiation with Boss Qian! You can't promise people randomly! When you come back and discuss with me, you can talk to him again! You can't be in a hurry to do any business, and you can't expose your thoughts, attitudes, and commitments to the other party too early! If you smile and don't speak, there's nothing! If you speak, even if you fart! It's a promise! Do you understand?! ”
Everyone laughed!
Ah Mao smiled and said, "Tiger Aunt! You people from the capital are so fun! You're all doctors, and you're all human spirits! Tiger Girl! I'm almost 10 years old, and in the future, I'll learn to be a man with you! ”
The tiger girl smiled and said, "Alas! Ah, cat! Aren't you learning Taoism and cultivating immortals with the Innocent Master now! You are Ah Long's little follower in doing things, and you are learning to be a man from Master Innocent and Ah Long! You already have two masters, why do you need so many masters?! ”
Everyone laughed again!
After talking about it, Tiger Gu asked Ah Long and them to rest!
Ah Long slept in a large guest room with Ah Mao and Jianbang, because Ah Mao and Jianbang were too tired to drive the carriage these days, they fell asleep as soon as they lay down!
Ah Long lay on the bed, thinking that Tiger Gu had just spoken to him.
Suddenly, Ah Long felt that Boss Qian Chufei was taller, so tall that he couldn't climb high! This feeling made Ah Long's heart weak and he became unconfident!
However, Ah Long lived in the capital of the Great Song Kingdom in his previous life, although he had never met the emperor, but he had seen a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles! Moreover, Long Hanfeng, who he did in this life, is a great reader, he has read "Historical Records" and other Zhengye history books, and he knows that all the kings and emperors in history turned out to be ordinary people, and the reason why they were able to claim the title of king and hegemon, seal the son of heaven, and rule the country! It's just that they are more adventurous, ruthless, fierce, black-hearted, and shameless than ordinary people!
When Ah Long thought like this, he felt suddenly enlightened, and he regained the confidence and courage he had when he was a shopkeeper! He feels that he and Boss Qian are the same kind of people, they are both adventurous and like to do challenging big business!
Aaron thought about these things, and he slowly fell asleep with a smile!
......
On the morning of the 25th day of the eighth lunar month, after eating breakfast and getting dressed, Ah Long, Ah Mao and Jianbang drove their carriage to the Qian family's Huafu in the east of Lin'an City.
Qianjiahua Mansion is in the northeast of Lin'an City, more than 30 miles away from Ximen Wharf, which is a large wharf at the southernmost end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Ah Long and the others hurried up, and with an hour's effort, they came to the outer square of the gate of the Qian family's mansion.
In fact, the Qian family mansion is the palace of the original Wu Yue Kingdom! Ah Long and the others were stunned by the majestic and tall palace complex of red bricks, red columns, and yellow glazed tiles in front of them!
Ah Long understood why his father-in-law, Guo Baichuan, didn't come here to talk about business with Qian Chufei! Because, Qian Chufei is indeed a real nobleman, he is a dragon species, and his aura is too shocking!
Of course, no one wants to talk about business and do business with the Venerable Master, because no one likes to be forced to buy and sell by others and do unfair and unreasonable things! Being teased and being deceived is something that every business must try to avoid!
However, last night, Aaron figured it all out!
Ah Mao unconsciously took Ah Long's hand and said, "Isn't it just the palace?!" Why did it change to Qianjia Washington?! ”
"Aaron! What should we do?! ”
Jianbang stopped the carriage and he stared blankly at these majestic complexes!
"Hey! Gatekeeper! I'm going to talk to Boss Qian Chufei about business! How should we go?! ”
Ah Long shouted at the guards standing guard under the gate of the Qian family's mansion, holding red tassel guns, and wearing Lin'an Army uniforms!
One of the guards smiled and said, "Oh! Drive to the city! When you arrive at the square in front of the welcome building, you park! Then, you go to the reception in the welcome building and ask the people there to help you report! ”
So, the two guards pulled a railing apart, and Ah Long drove the carriage into the Qian family's mansion!
Aaron and the others soon arrived at the square outside the welcome building, where servants helped them manage the carriage and help them feed the horses.
After handing over the carriage to the servant, the three of them arranged their costumes and hairstyles and walked to the welcome building.
After arriving in the building, the clerk inside helped them to report to Boss Qian.
Soon, the clerk led the three of them into a living room.
In the living room, Ah Long saw Boss Qian Chufei and his two staff, both of whom were middle-aged men in their thirties, one was named Qian Jindou and the other was Qian Jinsheng, they were both members of Boss Qian's clan!
After they introduced each other, everyone sat down to drink tea and talk.
Qian Chufei smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew! How did you guys get in?! This used to be a royal palace, so these strange buildings didn't intimidate you, did they?! ”
Ah Long smiled and said, "Uncle! I have read the history of Wu Yueguo! The Qian family is a royal family, more than 100 years ago, your ancestors were emperors here! Although the royal palace is a sacred place, without the love and support of the common people, the royal palace can only become a place of gods and spirits that is not close to the fireworks in the world! We feel okay here today! Now, there is not a busy and noisy city near here, but also a clean place with winding paths and quiet clouds! Lin'an City is such a great place! Oh! By the way, I haven't said yet, how we got in! Actually, when we first saw Qian Fu, we were really a little blindsided! All of a sudden, I shouted out at you for directions, and they let us in! Of course, now, we have seen that Boss Qian is full of energy, good health, and quick thinking! In this way, we are all relieved! Actually, being a god is not necessarily a good thing! Boss Qian, let's start talking about business! For the sake of renting a carriage, I, a little rich man, have to spend more than a dozen taels of silver a day! If you continue to spend like this, I'm going bankrupt! ”
Everyone laughed!
Qian Chufei said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is indeed a talent!" Well, let's get down to business! Qian Jindou is a showman! He's my housekeeper in Qiantang! I asked him to tell you about the list of real estate, land, farmland, mountains and forests and other assets that I prepared for you as 1,300,000 taels of silver! ”
Qian Jindou said: "Young Master Long Hanfeng! I've been to your Xianyuan Town! Although your Xianyuan Town is not a big place, because it is close to the Yangtze River, there is a convenient port in the south such as Hugua Ferry! Therefore, Xianyuan Town is a large commercial port where goods from the north and south gather and business travelers gather, so the demand there is strong and prices are soaring! Our Lin'an City in Qiantang County, as well as the entire Qiantang River Basin and Hangzhou Bay area, have been rich and stable in all dynasties! There are abundant products, prices are stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment! ”
Ah Long interrupted Qian Jindou and said, "Teacher Qian! Although I have never been to Lin'an City, Qiantang County, I have a good understanding of the social environment and economic conditions here, otherwise, we would not have come here to talk to you about business! You tell me directly, you give those assets to cash in the value of 1.3 million taels of silver! ”
Qian Jindou smiled and said, "Okay! I have made a list of assets worth 1,300,000 taels of silver here! Please take a look at it yourself! Then, let's talk about each item again! ”
Then, Qian Jindou handed over a neatly written list of assets with a brush to Ah Long!
Aaron carefully read this asset allocation invitation, the specific content is as follows:
1. A real estate in the west of Lin'an City, covering an area of 500 acres, with a brick and wood structure and a courtyard house building, with a construction area of 280,000 square meters and a value of 200,000 taels of silver.
2. A real estate in the west of Lin'an City, covering an area of 250 acres, with a brick and wood structure and a courtyard house building, with a construction area of 140,000 square meters and a value of 100,000 taels of silver.
3. Outside the south gate of Lin'an City, the riverbank land by the Qiantang River, 2,000 acres, has been built with a simple Haihe passenger and freight terminal, logistics transit warehouse, etc., passengers and freight can pass through the inland river and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and can also go to sea through Hangzhou Bay, to the ports of various cities on the east coast of the mainland, and the ports of various cities on the south coast of the mainland, and can also go directly to the Oriental Ryukyu Kingdom, Japan, etc., Nanyang Sulu State, Borneo and other places, worth 300,000 taels of silver.
Fourth, outside the south gate of Lin'an City, 5,000 acres of high-quality paddy fields, can be planted with two seasons of rice, at present, the farmland ditches are vertical and horizontal, the irrigation system is intact, and a village can be used for more than 3,000 hired farmers to live, worth 500,000 taels of silver.
5. Outside the west gate of Lin'an City, there are more than 10,000 acres of mountains and hills in the northwest of the West Lake, which can be planted with tea, medicinal materials and other cash crops, and can also establish pastures such as cattle, sheep and horses, worth 200,000 taels of silver.
The total value of the five items is 1,300,000 taels of silver.
After reading this asset allocation signing, Aaron said: "Boss Qian! Do these assets have title deeds and title certificates? ”
Qian Chufei smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew! You don't understand the rules of doing things in the yamen! Title deeds and property rights certificates, as long as the yamen sends people to measure, pile and demarcate, and then, make a parcel map! In this way, the yamen stamped these so-called title deeds and certificates with the stamp of the yamen! In this way, the title deed and title certificate are ready! We have all these things, if you are willing to accept them, I will go to the yamen to transfer these assets to your name! This way, the assets on these lists are yours forever! Do you understand?! ”
Aaron said, "Oh! I see! However, I feel that things like title deeds and property rights are too mysterious and child's play! If someone admits the accounts of the yamen, they insist that these lands are theirs! Or, someone occupies my land for no reason! How am I already doing?! ”
Qian Chufei smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew! You've met too many bandits and bullies in Xianyuan Town! Actually, the problem you said is easy to deal with! First of all, you should tell these troublemakers that this land is yours, not his! Of course, such people often can't understand human speech! Then, you should go to the yamen, you have to sue them and fight a lawsuit with them! Let Wang Fa do the talking for you! By the way, a lawsuit is a very troublesome thing! There is no official who is willing to do something that is neither beneficial nor offensive! Right?! Therefore, such things as lawsuits can only be settled in the end! In the end, you have to fight your opponent to fight for strength! Only strength finally makes people have to be convinced! Look at Lin'an City and this royal palace! These things are all my grandparents, relying on their strength to fight back! My ancestors were also ordinary farmers and hunters, because the government and bullies occupied all the land, mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, etc., and at the same time, they also monopolized all the channels for making a living and doing business, so the ancestors of the Qian family became heroes in the green forest! They relied on knives and guns, as well as the courage to go to the soup and fire, and kill themselves to become benevolent, and conquered the entire Qiantang River Basin, Taihu Lake Basin and Hangzhou Bay! Otherwise, what will I sell to you?! Do you understand?! My baby! ”
Ah Long smiled and said, "Uncle! I get it! In the future, you may have to teach me how to be a dragon bully who kills people without blinking?! Otherwise, you Qiantang people will eat us raw! ”
Everyone laughed!
Qian Chufei smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew! This is the territory of the Qian family! We won't, ignore yours! In the past few days, I asked Qian Jinsheng to take you to inspect these five places! If you are optimistic about these assets, we will come here to sign a package of sales and purchase contracts! Then I will pay you 165 taels of silver. And transfer these five assets to your Long Hanfeng's name! Then, let's return to Xianyuan Town, in my yamen, you will transfer the commercial street south of Xianyuan City East Street, as well as Shuntianfu, to my name! In this way, our transaction is a complete one! ”
Qian Jinsheng smiled and said, "Young Master Long! In the future, you can just call me Brother Sheng! I am the asset manager of the Qian family, and in the future, I will deal with you for a long time! My family lives in the west of the city! Tomorrow morning, I'll drive the carriage to Qinglong Mansion to find you! After we meet, I'll show you the place! In the future, I'll take care of your lunch! Today at noon, let's have dinner here together! ”
Aaron smiled and said, "Great! Brother Sheng! It's such a pleasure to meet you! With you as our guide, I'll be a hundred relieved! It's still early before lunch time, if, Boss Qian has no other instructions for us! Let's go back to Qinglong Mansion first, there are some things, we also want to talk to our own family! ”
Qian Chufei smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew! From now on, we will be business partners! We are equal in business! In terms of age, you can call me uncle, after all, you and my son Qian Xiuliu are confidants and friends! In terms of experience and management, let me be your teacher! You can rest assured, in the future, we have to do more things! When you settle down in Qiantang, let's talk about the future! ”
Then, after Ah Long and the others said goodbye to the old men of the Qian family, the three of them left the living room, and after leaving the welcome building, they got into their carriage and drove the horses back to Qinglong Mansion.
......
At noon, Ah Long and the others returned to Qinglong Mansion.
After entering the house, they talked with Hugu and others in the living room.
Ah Long told Tiger Gu the list of asset allocation given to them by Boss Qian, as well as Boss Qian's arrangements in terms of transactions.
The tiger girl smiled and said, "Oops! I've looked at all five of the assets you just mentioned! These two properties are in the rich residential area of the west city of Lin'an City, very close to our Qinglong Mansion! There is the best shopping street in the city, and it will be very convenient for you to buy groceries and see a doctor in the future! There are also the best private schools and academies in the city, as well as the examination hall of Hangzhou Road Administration in Liangjiang Province! In the future, the children will study and gain fame! It's also very convenient! We have the land assets in those three places, and in the future, we will have no problem running our own docks, farms, plantations and ranches! These industries are very profitable industries, as long as we do it seriously and are willing to endure hardships! In the future, we will be able to be a master in Lin'an City! ”
Everyone laughed!
