Chapter 188: Uncle Xi
The young man who was shouting in the living room looked a little similar to Dongmenqing Qing, but his belly was slightly convex, and he had already made a fortune before he was thirty years old, with a hooked nose and a pointed chin.
This person is Lin Wenzhen, the maternal uncle of Dongmenqing Qing, he was originally losing his temper with his subordinates, and when he saw Dongmenqing Qing, he shouted: "Qingguan! Come and tell you about these impudent subordinates! Tell them who I am! They treat me like a cheater! ”
The east 'gate' Qing Xixi stepped forward and said, "Don't blame them, if you want to blame your grandfather, Lao Beng Shengzhu!" 'Get' me such a little uncle. When the two of us stand outside, people will only think that we are brothers, who dares to guess that you are my uncle? ”
Lin Wenzhen scolded: "Wow! You haven't been big or small in a few years since you went to sea! Even my grandfather dared to scold! ”
The two grew up together in open crotch 'pants', and Dongmen' Qing didn't care about his wig tantrums, pulled his clothes and asked, "Why do you dress like this!" ”
Lin Wenzhen said: "I've had this dress for a long time, where do I dare to wear it at home?" It's hard to go out to the sea, so naturally you have to put on it and have fun. ”
The east 'gate' celebrated: "I still have to ask you!" How did you go to sea? Still running to Shuangyu, the 'den of thieves'? Let grandpa know that you won't break your 'legs'! ”
Lin Wenzhen said: "It's not because of you!" I heard that my nephew is in Shuangyu, so I worked tirelessly to risk my father's broken 'leg' to come and see you. ”
Where did Dong 'Men' Qing believe him, poked his belly and 'forced' him to say, Lin Wenzhen *** However, he finally told the truth.
It turns out that although the Lin family is well-off, but the children's expenses are fixed every month, Lin Wenzhen is the youngest son, and it is not his turn to take care of the money, so he can only receive the little silver 'flower' fee every month, although he will not be hungry, but if he wants to 'spend' poorly' 'spend', where is this bit of silver enough? Besides, he can't study, and now he is still covered by Lao Tzu, if Lin Xiyi's two 'legs' are cocked in the future, he is weak, and it is really difficult to say how much net worth he can get. Therefore, since three years ago, he has been hiding from Lin Xiyi, borrowing money from the east and west, and getting a sum of capital, 'handing' it to the East 'Gate' order, 'forced' him to earn interest for himself, and the East 'Gate' order to make investment, which is of course engaging in overseas trade.
Lin Wenzhen is a cautious person, after the money is invested, everything has to be asked, and the east 'door' is a relative, so he has no choice but to tell him about overseas affairs in detail. It just so happened that he made money for two consecutive years, and that capital was repeated five times in a row, plus he used Wang Zhixiang to take Lin Xiyi's 'door' road through him, and relied on a payment from the owner of Wufeng Ship, and the two made do, and he became a little rich.
In this era, most of the unscrupulous children of the southeast Shilin were involved in foreign trade, and most of them were like this. Even some scholars who are very upright and refuse to go through the game can't control their children! After all, people's desire for money is an eternal principle.
This year, Lin Wenzhen calculated that she had accumulated a lot of money in her small treasury, and she thought that instead of remote control investment and let the middleman exploit her, it was better to go to sea and make a big profit! Therefore, he actually asked the east 'gate' to help him buy a three-masted sailing ship, and purchased a lot of goods, and lied to Lin Xiyi that he wanted to go out to meet friends in poetry and literature, and he actually ran to Shuangyu!
He has been busy making money in the past few years, although he has occasionally heard the news of the East 'Gate' celebration at home, but the specific situation is not very clear, and after coming to Shuangyu, he realized that this nephew was so open overseas! In this case, the inn in Shuangyu didn't need to live, and went directly to find his nephew.
At this time, I saw the east 'door' Qing, not to mention anything else, I asked him if he had a store and a 'door' road for shipments, and the east 'door' Qing smiled: "We are difficult uncles and nephews, open crotch 'pants' brothers, don't talk about business when we meet!" "Tell me to go down and postpone the departure by two days, and to accompany my uncle. He set up a banquet again, and no one invited him, so the two uncles and nephews drank and talked. He originally wanted to invite Dai Tianchou, but Dai Tianchou said that he was uncomfortable and didn't come out.
Lin Wenzhen just took care of his money, and asked him if he had a store without a word, and the east 'door' Qing smiled: "What goods do you have?" Seeing Lin Wenzhen hesitating, she couldn't help but scold: "What, you don't even believe me?" Are you afraid that I will not be able to calculate you? So what are you doing here? Lin Wenzhen just said what goods he had and how much.
Dongmen' Qing was already 'mixed' into 'fine' at this time, and he was very familiar with overseas business affairs, and inquired about the number of materials on his sailboat, and did some mental calculations, feeling that this number was not right with the amount of goods he reported, so he guessed that Lin Wenzhen still had reservations, and couldn't help but scold him twice, and said: "People say that when they meet people, they talk about three points, and they are talking about outsiders!" I'm your nephew, I grew up studying together, and you can't even guard against me! ”
Lin Wenzhen muttered: "You are very good at calculating people!" ”
The east 'gate' celebrated and said, "I count people? So since I was a child, have I calculated you? When didn't I give you the sweetness after calculating others? ”
Lin Wenzhen had no choice but to tell the truth about the quantity of her goods.
Dongmenqing pondered for a while and asked, "What price do you want to offer?" Lin Wenzhen asked what the price of Shuangyu is now, Dongmenqing is on fire, if there are other people in front of him, Dongmenqing is not afraid to intrigue with the other party, but because he is a very close uncle, he can't help but be unhappy and said: "You either give me the 'handover', I will help you arrange it, and you don't have to worry about other things!" If you can't trust me, go outside! Don't bother me here! ”
Lin Wenzhen couldn't, so she had to say the price she hoped to get one by one.
Dong 'Gate' Qing said: "This price, it's about the same, I'll give you another 10%, you can sell it to me, turn around and 'hand' over the goods, I will let people give you silver." You will play in Shuangyu for a few days, and when the wind is good, you will go back, don't delay for a long time for your grandfather to find out. ”
Lin Wenzhen was surprised: "Sell it all to you?" It's as simple as that? ”
East 'Gate' Qingdao: "Doing business is naturally as simple as possible, why do you 'make' it so complicated?" ”
Lin Wenzhen thought for a while and said, "Qingguan, it's not that I can't trust you, but I came out this time mainly because I want to learn more, see more, and experience more." And when my family does business, I always feel that it is not very good. So ......"
Dongmen' Qing glared at him, where did he still not understand what he meant? Know that he is suspicious of himself taking advantage of him! He smiled angrily and said, "Good, good!" I see what you mean. It's me too much! So he called Zhao Chengwu and asked him to help his uncle find an inn.
Lin Wenzhen said curiously: "Inn? Why don't I just live with you? ”
The east 'gate' Qing said: "Living here with me will hinder your experience, uncle." ”
Lin Wenzhen flicked his sleeves and said, "If you don't help, forget it!" ”
East 'Gate' Qing said: "It's not that I don't help!" It's you who don't believe me! In that case, why should I bother? You just go outside, take your time to inquire about the price, and slowly get deceived! When the money is cheated, you will know the benefits of your family! ”
When Lin Wenzhen heard this, she seemed to be 'excited' by the sting, and the whole person jumped up and roared angrily: "Big Bird Qing! Don't be presumptuous! Don't think you're the only one in business! Your uncle and I don't have a penny, relying on borrowing from the east and west, it has only been less than three years, and now I have such a big net worth! Do you really think that I can't live without you in Shuangyu! ”
East Gate Qing smiled: "This time, that time!" In the past three years, it was people who sent money to the 'door' to give you 'flowers'. Now the world has changed! Don't you notice that the characters of the sea have gradually stopped buying our family's accounts? ”
Lin Wenzhen sneered: "That's your East 'Gate' home!" Your family has a shallow foundation, claiming to be a servant for several generations, but in fact, it started to make a fortune from your old son! It's still up to Li Yanzhi to help you get up! This foundation can't be compared to my Lin clan! Besides, when I go to sea to do business, I also rely on my own ability, and it has nothing to do with the Lin family! ”
Dongmen' Qing laughed and said, "That's good, that's good." I hope that your business will be prosperous and prosperous, and your wealth will reach Sanjiang! He called Li Chengtai again and said, "Tell me to go down, prepare the boat, and I will send my uncle away and set off." ”
Lin Wenzhen said angrily: "You don't need to send it!" "Huff and huff turned around and walked out of the 'door'.
When he was there, the East Gate Qing sneered, and when he left, the East Gate Qing turned to 'Yin' anger, and others did not dare to approach, Dai Tianti came out and said: "People are overseas, the villagers see the villagers, the eyes are full of tears, not to mention the small?" Why is it so stiff? ”
Dong 'Gate' Qing roared angrily: "It's just that I'm angry when I'm small!" He seems to be 'shrewd', but in fact, he is all self-inflictedly smart! Your own people don't believe it, but you want to go outside and be deceived! I'll see how long he can endure! Turn around and erode all the money, don't cry and beg me! ”
Dai Tianchou said: "Then you told him well just now, why bother to fight against it coldly?" ”
After a long while, the person calmed down a little and said, "Sir, I'm going to the mainland, and the whip is out of reach, so you can help me take care of him." If he's cheated out of money, don't worry about him. But if there is a matter of 'sex' and 'life', you must help. ”
Dai Tianchou smiled: "You can go with confidence." ”
This time I went to Zhejiang, I originally wanted to land from Ningbo, walk around to Haining, and let people pick me up on the shore of Haining. However, because it is impossible to accurately predict the itinerary on the road, if the subordinates want to pick up people in Haining, where to pick them up and when to pick them up, there is a problem in 'operation' here. Later, the East Gate Qing thought about it, it is better to drive the boat directly to Haining, take the road in reverse, from Jiaxing to Hangzhou, from Hangzhou to Shaoxing, and then from Shaoxing through Ningbo into Shuangyu - because Shuangyu is outside Ning'bo' Xiangshan Port, to Ning'bo' do not need to pick up the hand, just find a boat to go back to Shuangyu. And when they saw it, they were all good.
Set sail on this day, because of Lin Wenzhen's matter, the East 'Gate' Qing was not in a good mood, so he blew the wind on the bow of the ship, walked for less than half a day, and received a report from his subordinates, saying that there was a ship chasing after him, from Shuangyu to here, the closer he was chasing, the East 'Gate' Qingqi said: "Could it be that you just set off and met pirates?" We're very low-key this time, so what's going on? He was not afraid, so he slowed down and waited for the incoming ship to approach and see what was going on.
Soon the boat caught up, and there was an acquaintance standing at the bow of the boat, but it was Xu Weixue, and the east 'gate' Qingxin said: "It turned out to be him." ”
When the two boats approached, Xu Weixue jumped over and scolded: "Qingguan!" You're so speechless! ”
Seeing his reproach, Dongmen Qing was a little surprised: "Uncle Xu, what are these words!" ”
Xu Weixue said: "At the 'gate' of the Wufeng Pavilion that day, what did you promise me?" ”
Dongmen' Qing then remembered that day Xu Weixue said to himself, "I have something to discuss with you when I go back", he didn't take it to heart at the time, he didn't want to be out of Shuangyu, Xu Weixue also sent a boat to catch up, it seems that this matter is not idle, and he apologized and asked: "Uncle Xu, what is the matter?" ”
