Chapter 73: Business Alliances
Listening to Yuxuan, an elegant and poetic name, if you think that he is just a teahouse or a place where elegant people gather, it is very wrong.
Tingyuxuan is located just outside Beijing's Qianmen, where there are 10 brothels of all sizes. And Tingyu Xuan is among the best among these brothels, and in order to cater to the scholars and merchants, he deliberately took this elegant name.
Some people may not know about this place, but in later generations, this place has a name that is very prosperous in the whole country, and eight major alleys.
Tingyuxuan is a 3-storey ancient Chinese traditional building, and there are 10 tables in the hall on the first floor, and in front of the table is a stage for some Qinglou women to sing small songs.
On the second floor, there are mostly private rooms prepared for dignitaries and dignitaries, as well as some faceless merchants. As for the third floor, it is the residence of the Oiran specially cultivated by Tingyu Xuanne, and only those who spend a lot of money or are talented can go up to the third floor to spend the Spring Festival with those Oiran.
Judging from the distribution of Tingyuxuan, the ancients were not stupid, at least in terms of VIP customer level, they were not worse than later generations.
Yang Jianhui, the proprietor of Yang's firm in Beijing. When it comes to this Yang's firm, it can be said that it is second to none in the entire Zhili.
Most of the business done in the business bank is some daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and all these things are closely related to the lives of ordinary people. Thanks to the fact that in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued to reduce grain production, and Yang Jianhui has made a fortune in the country, and in just a dozen years, he has gathered a number of rich and rival wealth.
This person is extremely lustful, and the group of wives and concubines in the family can't satisfy his lustful nature, and often messes with flowers and grass outside. I don't know how much I have done to rob women from good families and force good prostitutes, but because there is a protective umbrella behind them, they have also been mixed up over the years. And he is generous, and he is willing to spend a lot of money on the woman he likes, such as a brothel such as Tingyuxuan, I don't know how many owners want to worship it like an ancestor.
Maybe God saw his cruelty and unkindness, so he sent disaster consequences. Yang Jianhui, who is merciful everywhere, has only one child, and he is also a mentally retarded person with a not very good brain. In this era of unfilial piety, Yang Jianhui is even more nostalgic for the eroticism outside, thinking about casting a wide net and fishing more to give birth to a normal boy.
Today, Yang Jianhui invited Li Fumin in Tingyuxuan, and Yang Jianhui had already noticed a sensational Huitong commercial bank that had just started to make a sensation in the city.
Of course, at this time, Yang Jianhui was not the only one in the box in Tingyuxuan, but also the remaining seven or eight people, all of whom were well-known shop owners in Beijing.
At this time, everyone sat around, and from time to time there were bursts of laughter. Several women with a decent appearance were sitting aside, enduring the harassment of groping pigs from time to time.
Li Fumin didn't dare to be careless after getting Yang Jianhui's invitation, and after changing into decent clothes, he drove to Tingyuxuan to find out what Yang Jianhui meant.
After coming to Tingyuxuan, led by a young woman, Li Fumin came to the box on the second floor.
"Shopkeeper Yang, the guest you want to invite has arrived."
The young woman's light voice sounded in Li Fuming's ears, arousing the desire that Li Fumin had when he was young. I just looked at my crotch and smiled weakly.
With a squeak, the door of the box opened from the inside, only to see Yang Jianhui with it, and the rest of the seven or eight people stood in front of the door, greeting each other with smiling faces and bowing their hands to welcome.
"Shopkeeper Li met for the first time, take care of it, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive me."
Li Fumin also gave up, "How dare you not come to the shopkeeper Yang's appointment with Li."
"Please".
"Please".
After Li Fumin sat down, the maidservant who was waiting on the side immediately poured a cup of tea in front of Li Fumin.
"Shopkeeper Li, this is the Longjing before the rain, and it is the best tea in Tingyuxuan."
Li Fumin picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, closed his eyes, and felt the fragrance on the tip of his tongue.
Longjing is a traditional famous tea in our country, which belongs to green tea and is the best tea. However, Longjing is divided into Longjing before the Ming Dynasty and Longjing before the rain, and friends who like to drink Longjing tea know that there is a saying that "before the rain is the best quality, and before the Ming Dynasty is a treasure".
"It is worthy of the dragon well before the rain, with a fresh taste and a long aftertaste."
The person on the side said in a loud voice, "Shopkeeper Yang has always been stingy, and it is thanks to Shopkeeper Li that he was able to come up with such a good tea today." Qishu.com
This man's words caused everyone to laugh.
The tea was also drunk, and the laughter was also laughing, and naturally it was time to talk about business, Li Fuming was not in the mood to follow Yang Jianhui here, and asked Yang Jianhui straightforwardly what he meant by coming here.
"Shopkeeper Yang doesn't know what happened today? If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely help."
The rest of the people also stopped talking when they heard Li Fumin ask, and sat quietly on the side.
Yang Jianhui opened his mouth and said with a smile, "There is indeed a matter of finding Li Changgui here today, if this matter is completed, it will be of great help to you and me, brothers, as well as to sit here."
"Oh? I don't know what Shopkeeper Yang said and what he said."
Li Fumin had already expected it in his heart, but he didn't know if it was in line with what he expected.
"Shopkeeper Li should also know that a chamber of commerce alliance has been formed.
Everyone here is a member of the Alliance, so I plan to invite Shopkeeper Li to join the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and if this matter is completed, it will be of great help to Shopkeeper Li."
Yang Jianhui said to Li Fuming with a proud face.
Yang Jianhui is still very proud of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, which he created by himself.
Li Fumin frowned, as if he was thinking about whether to join the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
The benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce Alliance are obvious, and if you express your opposition to joining the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, you are likely to be suppressed by the other party.
It's just that he is not alone, and the emperor is standing behind him, and he must find out what the emperor himself means.
Seeing Li Fuming frowning and silent for a long time, he picked up the teacup from time to time and took a sip gently, and everyone looked at each other.
Regarding Yang Jianhui's invitation and Li Fuming to join the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, everyone's opinions are also different.
For everyone, Huitong Commercial Bank has just been built, and the goods in Huitong Commercial Bank have no own channels at all, and most of them are purchased from other chambers of commerce, and some of the people here have business dealings with Huitong Commercial Bank. Once it is drawn into the alliance of commercial banks, everyone will inevitably have to bear some obligations for it to be recognized for the development of Huitong Commercial Bank. In addition, the business of Huitong Commercial Bank is basically in line with the public, which will inevitably affect their interests.
For a commercial bank, only with a stable supplier can it gain a foothold. Like Huitong Commercial Bank, one hammer in the east and one hammer in the west buys goods from other commercial houses, and they look down on Huitong Commercial Bank even more. It's just that under the leadership of Yang Jianhui, everyone has also made money, so they can only suppress the thoughts in their hearts.
Of course, Yang Jianhui did not tell everyone what he thought in his heart, and Yang Jianhui really didn't look down on Huitong Commercial Bank, but he just fell in love with the activity that Huitong Commercial Bank did when it first opened.
After so many years in the shopping mall, Yang Jianhui can see the benefits of this kind of activity at a glance. Although it will cause a certain loss in the early stage, it has left a good reputation, and for a commercial bank, a good reputation is enough to make this commercial bank stand tall.
"I do have some intention in my heart about the matter proposed by the shopkeeper Yang to let Huitong Commercial Bank join the business alliance, but I am also working for my master, this matter is too important, and I can't be the master.
Shopkeeper Yang will allow some time in the next time, as if my master reports."
Li Fumin arched his hand towards Yang Jianhui with a tangled face.
When Yang Jianhui heard Li Fuming's words, his brows furrowed slightly. It's not because Li Fuming hasn't agreed to join the business alliance now, but because he heard that Li Fuming actually has an owner.
In order to let Huitong Commercial Bank join the business alliance, he also investigated Li Fumin's situation many times, but all kinds of signs can show that Li Fuming is the owner of Huitong Commercial Bank, but he didn't expect that there was someone behind him at this time, which surprised Yang Jianhui.
"Shopkeeper Li is polite, since this is the case, it is natural to report to the owner."
Yang Jianhui quickly recovered to his original state and looked at Li Fumin with an understanding face.
