Chapter 186: Wealthy Family
Shilin Academy has a side hall, the long seats are arranged in two rings, and on one side of the inner ring sit Lu Shanchang, Qin Feng of Jiangxi Mintuan, and Gao Wenjin. On the left and right, they sat the heads of the five wealthy families in Nanchang who were invited by Lu Shanchang.
The five people sit on either side, and each person's position is extremely wide. But behind the five people, a second circle was formed, filled with the retinue, scribes, and children they had brought with them. These people are also their staff, staff officers, and students.
The so-called wealthy family, except for silver. There is also a certain strength. This kind of strength is officialdom, shopping malls, and the people all have help.
The wang clan is not only famous in the local area. They have lived in the local area for too long, at least more than 100 years, and their relationships are intertwined and extremely complicated. Even the head snake at that time was only a branch of them.
The raptors are invincible to the Razor Snake, not because the Raptors are incompetent, but because the Raptors have too many relationships and complex connections, and the Raptors can't resist various combinations of forces.
In fact, the reason is very simple, if you stay in one place for a long time, you will have more relatives and friends. A family has taken root in one place for a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, and has been passed down from generation to generation, and the mere relationship of relatives can connect several strings. No matter how wealthy you are, after so many years, you naturally have a huge network of relationships.
With this net, with the strength of the family, and with the combination of relationships. If a few more talents are produced, they will make great achievements in officialdom or shopping malls and lay a big industry for the family.
Wealthy families were born.
The Hu family has been in business for more than ten generations. A true business family. After several ups and downs, to the generation of Hu Yujin, the head of the Hu family, he is the leading merchant family in Nanchang. The family is involved in a wide variety of businesses, and the Hu family's quality bank alone occupies half of Nanchang.
Hu Yujin was formally born with a sharp eye, a natural love for business and a talent for business.
The Su family, a large landowner in Nanchang, is mainly engaged in mines. Yunshan entrusted Wang's father-in-law to help buy ore, most of which were trading with his family. Later, Wang's father-in-law was also troublesome, so he directly asked Yunshan to connect with the Su family. Coincidentally, Chang Daochang also bought things with the Su family. The Su family has a lot of minerals and rich mineral knowledge, as long as you can tell the characteristics of the ore and its use, the Su family can get it back for you! How much to want, how much! In short, he will never fall into the name of the Su family mine king!
However, the Su family has a bad reputation in other aspects, because the Su family has business dealings with the landlords and wealthy merchants in the northwest, and it is rumored that the merchants there specialize in trading with Tatars, Jiannu and others. The Chinese thought that this was an enemy.
Moreover, the Su family also operates a quality warehouse, half of the Nanchang quality warehouse belongs to the Hu family, and the other half belongs to his Su family. Because of the operation of mines, there are many more laborers, martial artists, and nursing homes than in other industries. You organize absenteeism together, give weapons, and immediately it will be the army. They are usually organized and disciplined in mining. By the way, it is said that Qi Jiguang's Qi family army is composed of miners. The Su family has this strength, and it is really a waste not to buy and sell the quality warehouse.
With these two factors, Nanchang people have a bad opinion of the Su family. Therefore, the Su family also tried not to cause trouble in Nanchang, and did more good deeds.
People's hearts are like this, after a person makes a career, what he wants most is to return to his hometown. You have harmed the place of your ancestral home, and even if you are beautiful in the future, you will not even have a place to show off! Even the gangsters know that if you do bad things, take a few more steps, and the rabbit will not eat the grass next to the nest, this is the truth.
Speaking of which, the Su family and Qin Feng are really a little entangled, and there are typical enmities. There was almost constant business between the two sides. And in the last bloody birthday banquet, among the splashes who were killed by the militia, there were also those who obeyed the orders of the Su family.
But Pi Pi was too far away from the core of the Su family, and the Su family didn't care.
Su Hong, the head of the Su family, has a kind face, and he is smiling when he sees everyone, harmless to humans and animals. But there are rumors that once when the Su family was trading with someone in the northwest, they encountered a horse bandit, and this person got on the horse to meet the battle without saying a word. One moment it was still a smiling Mira, and the next moment it was a hellish Shura! took a group of Su family guards to kill the horse bandits, and the blood flowed like a river. Since then, the horse bandits have become famous, and Su Hong has become famous in a battle, and after several tribulations, he was promoted to the head of the Su family.
The Hu family and the Su family basically monopolize the Nanchang quality library, and the representatives of the quality library sit on the same side.
If Lu Shanchang made his own decisions, he was unwilling to invite the Hu family and the Su family, one was too vulgar, the other had a bad reputation, and they all opened a pledge bank to lend usury! But Qin Feng specified that he wanted to invite the owner of the quality warehouse. It was said that the bank had robbed some of other people's business, and everyone talked about it in person. Lu Shanchang had no choice but to send a message.
Don't look at these two families, the Lu family is out of reach. But in fame and status. These two are beyond the reach of the Lu family! What's more, my family still has children studying in Shilin Academy. In the future, there will be more children who want to study at Shilin Academy. Shilin Mountain Chief said an invitation that love can't come, and these two families immediately rushed to it!
The Yuan family, the ancestor started from running the Qinglou. Now involved in catering, Qinglou. Where Nanchang Qinglou gathers, there is a courtyard of his house, and there are more than two or three in each place! The two largest hooks in Nanchang are also his family's territory. vp
The head of the Yuan family's generation, Yuanqushan, business vision and management may not be as good as Hu Yujin. But he has another specialty, his name is like his name, he is good at lyrics and music, especially good at composing! This ability can be compared with Liu San, who is good at lyrics in another time and space, and this ability also matches his family's business. Many popular songs, many famous songs, are all from him.
Every year, he is an indispensable and important judge for the selection of Oiran Masters. The green building and courtyard under the name of the Yuan family are also the places with the most famous tricks. In the wind and dust, many girls with some potential hope to be sent to the courtyard under the name of the Yuan family, such a virtuous circle, the Yuan family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is faintly Taishan Beidou in the Dahua entertainment industry!
The Tang family, the largest porcelain merchant in Nanchang. In addition to studying, the children of the Tang family only learned pottery and made porcelain. Jiangxi, and even the whole Dahua, the best, the ceramic craftsmen with the names on the row, are basically from his Tang family! The porcelain from the hands of his potters has a Tang character at the bottom. The Dahua royal family, including the King of Chu in Nanchang, almost all used Tang porcelain. Many overseas buyers regard it as Dahua authentic porcelain, called Tang porcelain. For a long time, Tang porcelain represented Dahua porcelain.
In the area of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, most of the land is owned by the Tang family. The best soil here deserves the best potters.
The head of the Tang family, Tang Shengfu, is himself the leading ceramic designer of the Tang family. In addition, he is exquisite, good at management, and fair, and was elected as the head of the family.
The Zhao family, the landlord of Nanchang, is also a scholarly family. There are many famous students in the family. In terms of quantity alone, it is better than the Lu family.
But this is because the Zhao family has a large population, several times that of the Lu family. In terms of proportion, the Lu family is still far ahead. But there are a lot of them, especially the large number of Xiucai, which is very advantageous in the local area! If you really take the Jinshi exam, you will be an official in a different place, and if you mix well, the family will send someone to follow you to do some business and find something cheap. Otherwise, how can you call it, a person who has attained the Tao and a chicken dog ascends to heaven? But the ancestral home is the foundation, and you have to come back here when you retire in the future. Your parents and even the original spouse are still here, and the rest of the family is raising and offering for you.
And showing talents and lifting people are not worthy of official status, so they basically do things locally. When local government officials arrive, they must recruit the main house, the chief clerk, the clerk, the assistant, the messenger, etc. These people are needed.
How much can an official and a few cronies do? Therefore, governing the localities, big and small, are mostly done by these grassroots cadres. Day after day, year after year, officials are in charge of the face and direction. The specific work and exercise of power are all these officials. When this power comes together, it's a tremendous amount of energy. Even if some officials are taking precautions against this, they consciously ask their subordinates not to come from one family or one family.
But if the local gentry is deep-rooted, intertwined, and luxuriant, then there is no way to prevent it. The Zhao family is such a typical example! Even the most ordinary cloth business of the Zhao family, the cloth shop that Zhao Xicai is in charge of, is also one of the three major cloth shops in Nanchang. Even the cloth trading in the Chu Wangfu was with the Zhao family.
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Junwen, is a person. Just look at its temperament and demeanor, which can be comparable to Lu Shanchang.
The Yuan family, the Tang family, and the Zhao family are also the three families that donated money to the dictionary and left their names. The three families sat on one side.
There are also other wealthy families in Nanchang, and in terms of comprehensive strength, these five may not be the strongest. For example, the Shu family, the governor of Shu, the family behind the political envoy Lu Xun, and the Chu Palace.
But except for these top upstarts in officialdom, the prince. Just looking at the power and influence of the people, as well as the ability to raise cash, these five companies are indeed at the forefront of Nanchang and even Jiangxi.
Qin Feng and Gao Wenjin had just hastily learned about the situation of the five family heads in the wing room on one side, and Lu Shanchang solemnly introduced them just now.
The heads of these large families are all in the prime of life, energetic, and capable. and those who are old and famous, either as patriarchs or in the council of elders. They are responsible for finding, testing, and electing the head of the household.
The hundred-year-old Wang family has its own way of employing people. Never use mediocrity. Those who choose mediocre talents have long since declined. Who is qualified to sit here.
These five heads of the family, full of energy, sitting in place, with their own aura, are indeed all characters. This meeting was not chosen outside, and it was very low-key to choose the side hall of Shilin Academy, and everyone only had a cup of tea and two plates of fruit snacks in front of them. People at this level really don't care about those complicated etiquette and superficial glamour.
Qin Feng was not familiar with everyone, so Lu Shanchang also avoided the greeting section.
After everyone sat down, Lu Shanchang stood up and made a few opening remarks. Directly invite Qin Feng to get to the point. Qin Feng stood up in response.
Lu Shan sat down with his head bowed, and made up his mind in his heart, Next, I will watch you Qin Feng perform, how to sell an empty shelf at a price of one hundred thousand taels.
