At dusk, the people of Luoyang City saw a domineering scene, leading more than fifty people wearing heavy armor to the restaurant.

"Uh, my lord, can you invite your guards to dine with you?" Outside the Mingyue Building, Zhang Shuyi greeted Sun Xiangfu in the horse team.

"It's okay, they've all eaten the marching rations."

Sun Xiangfu did not get off the horse, but Zhao Long led a team of people into the Mingyue Tower first, and after a while, there was a noise inside, and Zhao Long walked out alone, and soon, more than fifty heavily armored guards surrounded the Mingyue Tower.

"Your Excellency, it's safe."

got Zhao Long's affirmative reply, and Sun Xiangfu and Xi Junmai got off the horse and entered. The scribe also followed in a little daze, and said in his heart, the emperor travels, and the safety and defense are nothing more than that!

Mingyue Tower is a large restaurant in Luoyang, of course, its scale is similar to the drunken immortal building in Chang'an, and there is still some gap with Wangjiang Tower, before entering the hall, I saw a few people who were dressed luxuriously and were a little enlightened by Zhao Long.

"Xue Muhua, the proprietor of Xia Mingyue Building, has seen Sun Xiamu, this is Zhang Dongquan, the proprietor of Chunjiang Building, this is Jia Feng, the proprietor of Cuihong Mansion, and Chen Fu, the proprietor of Piaoxiang Mansion······"

With Xue Muhua greeting each other, seven or eight so-called proprietors, in Sun Xiangfu's view, they are just some errand shopkeepers, and there are only two kinds of people who can open a first-class restaurant in a big city like Luoyang, the powerful and the family.

The reason why Sun Xiangfu came here was to see that he opened a branch in Wangjianglou in Luoyang, which would touch the interests of those people.

The purebred businessmen of the Tang Dynasty, their status is relatively low, even the farmers are not as good, since they are invited to see as a businessman, Sun Xiangfu is more or less an official, so he naturally needs to hold a shelf, exempt from everyone's courtesy, and follow everyone to the upstairs private room to sit.

"When this official first arrived in Luoyang, he was invited by you, and I don't know what to discuss!" Sun Xiangfu got straight to the point.

"Wangjiang Building, which is run by adults, is a leader in the Chang'an restaurant industry, passing by Luoyang, we naturally want to take this opportunity to ask for more benefits from adults." Zhang Dongquan, who was sitting on the right side of Sun Xiangfu, said with a smile.

This person is about forty years old, with a kind face, and Sun Xiangfu, who has more and more experience in reading people, knows at a glance that he should be an old philistine.

"How do you know that this official is passing by? This official came to Luoyang this time, in fact, he lived permanently, at least until the Luoyang branch of Wangjiang Tower opened. Sun Xiangfu said deliberately.

Hearing this, the faces of several so-called restaurant owners were dark, and the scene was suddenly embarrassing.

"Don't laugh at adults, these people are all asking for adults."

Scribe Zhang came forward to make a round, and gave Xue Muhua a look before saying, "Lord Sun, I have already invited you here, if you have any troubles, you can say it directly, if you can cooperate for a win-win situation, I believe that Lord Sun will not refuse you." ”

Seeing the eyes of the scribe Zhang, Xue Muhua no longer hesitated, got up and walked quickly to Sun Xiangfu's case, bent down deeply and bowed, "Please ask Lord Sun to leave a way for the inferior to live!" ”

Seeing Xue Muhua's action, the rest of the people were not idle, and they followed suit, which made Sun Xiangfu stunned.

"What's going on? Why don't I leave you alive? ”

"My lord, as soon as your Wangjiang Tower opens, even in Chang'an City, where there are many powerful people, many big restaurants are a little unable to hold on, let alone Luoyang. A few years ago, after the branch of the restaurant opened by several major families in Luoyang added new dishes, our business could only barely maintain.

Now, they have bought land in the city, and it is rumored that they want to build a big restaurant in imitation of Wangjiang Building, if Wangjiang Tower also opens a branch in Luoyang City, the restaurant we operate will only have one way to close the door and close. Xue Muhua said with some tears in his eyes.

The industry of the first-class elite family dominates Chang'an, and the second- and third-rate ones are mainly distributed in Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Yizhou, like Luoyang, where there are only 500,000 residents in the city, the proportion of the powerful and wealthy is much smaller than that of Chang'an, and the rich households who can often go to the big restaurant to eat are at most one or twenty thousand people, if these people are dispersed to the original ten or twenty restaurants, they can still make some surplus, but once there is a large restaurant like Wangjiang Tower, the impact on them is simply disastrous, and, It is very likely that there will be two more such restaurants in Luoyang at once.

After the stir-fry was gradually introduced, these original restaurants were no longer competitive in the market, and they were trying to find a way out, which was normal, so Sun Xiangfu's eyes looked at Zhang Shuren again.

"Did Eldest Sun Chun deliberately avoid seeing me?"

"Well, the adults are extremely intelligent, and they hit the right thing." Seeing that his and his master's calculations were guessed by Sun Xiangfu, Zhang Shuyi was a little embarrassed.

"So, is this what the queen mother means, or is it the meaning of the eldest grandson?"

Sun Xiangfu pointed to the few people who bent down and bowed, refusing to get up.

"It's the intention of the eldest grandson." As he spoke, Zhang Shushu handed a letter to Sun Xiangfudao.

After a while, Sun Xiangfu angrily slapped the letter on the table, and scolded in his heart, "Okay, you eldest grandson Wuji, you want to ask my brother to give up thirty percent of the profits, but my brother can't do it?" ”

Sun Xiangfu should have guessed that there are not many people who know that he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the eldest grandson Wuji must be one of the midterms, and with the identity of Zhang Shuzhi, he is not even qualified to send a letter to the eldest grandson Wuji, this letter is actually the eldest grandson Wuji asked the eldest grandson Chun to hand over to Sun Xiangfu early in the morning, but the eldest grandson Chun, who knows Sun Xiangfu's character, is afraid of being scolded and eaten here by Sun Xiangfu, so he hides out shamelessly, after all, he is also an official now, and he has to talk about face, but he never thought that Sun Xiangfu even hated the eldest grandson Wuji at the moment, how could he not hate him.

The content of the letter is not complicated, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji asked Sun Xiangfu to accept these people who bowed down to him as his younger brother, to help them run the restaurant, against the restaurants under the name of several major families in Luoyang, if Wangjianglou opened a branch in Luoyang, he could let these people help, and give them thirty percent of the shares, where does the shares come from? Of course, Sun Xiangfu is here.

Of course, this is not a simple business problem, the eldest grandson Wuji did this, the deep-seated reason, Sun Xiangfu thought about it with his ass and knew that this would be in exchange for the support of the proprietors behind these restaurants in the court for the eldest grandson Wuji, in the current situation, supporting the eldest grandson Wuji is even supporting Li Shimin.

The retainers have no human rights, so they can only do things according to the orders of the head of the family, but Sun Xiangfu doesn't want to do this in his heart, after all, this is not Li Shimin's order, after the Nuo Gan year, Li Shimin hangs, these families will still be tightly united under the command of the eldest grandson Wuji, and become another force that the emperor will be afraid of, and even difficult to shake, no matter whether the future emperor is Li Chengqian or someone else.

Why does the eldest grandson Wuji want Sun Xiangfu Sancheng's shares with one mouth? He thought he was the emperor?

This is where Sun Xiangfu is not at odds, but he is a peasant son with no background, that is, he does not bow to the family gatekeeper, and he does not bow to a powerful person like the eldest grandson Wuji? Can he survive in this feudal society?

Sun Xiangfu once again felt that in fact, a powerful person like Eldest Sun Wuji was the same as a son of a family, they didn't take themselves seriously from the bottom of their hearts, and this world, without power, would always be exploited at the bottom.

Refuting the face of Changsun Wuji is obviously an unwise behavior, he can only pull more allies, less enemies, left and right can not make up his mind, after thinking for a while, he found that he thought about things complicated, left and right are just some economic problems, he can not give up the shares at the same time, to achieve the purpose of the eldest Sun Wuji!

Who stipulated that the shares of a company can only be divided into 10%, and 13% is also okay! As long as you are the largest shareholder, you can convince other shareholders.

After making up his mind, Sun Xiangfu said, "I have to say that the master behind you climbed a big tree, so you should have a way to live."

Wangjianglou is bound to open to Luoyang, and you, need to use a lot of manpower, financial resources, material resources, in exchange for Luoyang Wangjianglou branch of the shares, moreover, these three percent of the shares will not affect the original shareholders of the proportion of shares, all the subsequent profits, will be divided into thirteen equal shares, and you, will take three of the shares, how to contribute, how to distribute, you discuss. ”

"In that case, I'll wait until we've discussed it before giving an answer to my lordship." Although everyone did not have the surprise they imagined after hearing this, they were also relieved.

"Before I leave Luoyang tomorrow morning, I hope you can give a clear answer, and you must remember that no one who has the money can get the shares of Wangjiang Tower, not Wangjiang Tower, which I preside over and operate, and may not have hit the new restaurant jointly opened by the sons of those families."

Sun Xiangfu said this in fact, he wanted to tell the owners behind these people that he would exchange money and materials for thirty percent of the shares of the Luoyang branch of Wangjiang Building, and he had already given the eldest grandson Wuji face, and did not try to divide the equity and interests in his hands, because if he could not grasp the management rights of Wangjiang Tower, then even if this Wangjiang Building was opened, it might not be able to win the restaurant of the joint venture of the family.

Sun Xiangfu, who returned from the horse, thought a lot along the way, the most was the family and magnates of this era, and he was a little out of place with them, if it weren't for the appearance of a family like Wang Lin, he should still be just a farmer in Happy Village who farmed, farmed, and made a little money.

And will a powerful person like the eldest grandson Wuji force him to another way?

Sun Xiangfu helplessly felt that it was really difficult to live comfortably in this world, a little good, everyone wanted to take a bite from you, perhaps, after solving the problem of food and clothing by himself, he should not make the industry bigger, just be a farmer with peace of mind, but now it is too late to regret it, I can only hope that the eldest grandson Wuji and Luoyang, these small and medium-sized families, can accept their own conditions, otherwise, once an ally like Changsun Wuji becomes an enemy, then he will be really in trouble.

"My lord, Daochang Li and Master Xuanzang didn't come back tonight, will I leave on time tomorrow?"

Returning to his residence, Zhao Long received a report from his subordinates and reported to Sun Xiangfu.

"I have already agreed with them yesterday to leave the time, so let's wait for them on the ship tomorrow!"

Thinking about this monk, Sun Xiangfu also had a headache, with the two of them, Sun Xiangfu was selfish.

Xuanzang, from the perspective of later generations, he is at least an excellent linguist, in a short period of time, he is proficient in the languages of Central Asian countries, the difficulty coefficient is not lower than the Russian, French, and Hindi that are more difficult to learn in later generations, Sun Xiangfu admires his spirit of learning, this nation is because of arrogance and complacency, less spirit of learning, only to be gradually overtaken, resulting in a situation of lagging behind the rising civilization.

He took a shortcut to help Xuanzang reach Tianzhu, which seemed to help him fulfill his personal wish, but he may also have destroyed a book that was very important to the Tang Dynasty, "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". Without this experience, it is difficult to say whether Xuanzang will be treated by Taizong, at least, Buddhism will not emerge as it did in history.

And Li Chunfeng, Sun Xiangfu has been expecting him to bring surprises to himself, this is a mathematical genius, when this era develops to a certain extent, mathematics is an indispensable knowledge, but such an important knowledge, but it is the shortcomings of Sun Xiangfu in later generations, Sun Xiangfu does not have the confidence to carry forward his shortcomings, so he can only rely on him, I hope that the two of them are not about to go to the field alone!
