"If you want to wholesale soap, it's almost impossible. Because the soap factory was built at the expense of various families, and I promised them not to give you soap wholesale, how could I go back on my word? Yuan Xi said bluntly.

"Oh..." Zhen Yao was extremely disappointed.

"It's okay, it's okay, we have Xi paper and Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor, and we're already very satisfied." Zhen Yan snorted haha.

"But..." Yuan Xi changed his words and said, "Although I can't wholesale soap to you, I can give you other benefits." ”

"Another benefit? What does the lord mean? Zhen Yao was interested again.

According to his experience, the benefits that Yuan Xi said must be able to make a lot of money.

"Please make it clear." Zhen Yan was also curious.

Yuan Xi said: "I have two benefits for you. One is to teach you how to stir-fry. Stir-fried dishes are better than cooked dishes, which can attract more customers and make your restaurant more popular. The second is the shops in Youzhou, I will help you get them all! What do you think? ”

They don't have much interest in stir-frying.

Because the food in the first restaurant is already the best in the city. All major families, wealthy families, and foreign merchants eat here. The speed at which restaurants make money has also reached the limit, and it is impossible to make more money unless they open a chain elsewhere.

"The lord is saying.... Let's Zhen buy all the shops in Youzhou? Zhen Yan asked in shock.

"That's right!"

"Half of the shops in Youzhou are in the hands of the Lu family, and half are in the names of ordinary families and wealthy families. Even the Lu family can't buy them all. How can we have that financial resources? Besides, they not only have shops, but also land and farmers in the ten counties of Youzhou. That's a lot of money. Zhen Yan felt that the gains outweighed the losses.

He would rather not have Yuan Xi's benefits.

Zhen Yao also held his mouth and didn't say a word.

Yuan Xi understood their thoughts, and suddenly smiled: "What are you afraid of?" I've got your back! The Lu family is a family that supports Yuan Shang, and I will never allow them to control the resources in Youzhou. Otherwise, if he starts a war with Yuan Shang in the future, Youzhou will be in chaos! ”

"But we can't afford that many shops..." Zhen Yan said.

"I can lend you money. How much you want, how much you borrow! Yuan Xi beckoned to Zhen Yan.

Zhen Yan came closer.

Yuan Xi said: "I want you to buy all the shops and land in Youzhou within half a year." After the acquisition, give me the land. Shops, you stay. At that time, the market in Youzhou will all be yours. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to make money? ”

It's really exciting!

No matter how good the soap is, it needs to be sold in the market. Nowadays, the market in Jizhou has been seized by various families. They have a background and financial resources, and no matter how much money they give, it is impossible to buy the resources in their hands. If you can buy the entire market in Youzhou, then making money in the future will be like flowing water, and you can't stop it.

"We're willing to give it a try, it's just ..... The acquisition of that large number of shops and land requires more than a billion dollars. Our Zhen family can only give 100 million. It's not even a fraction of a second. Zhen Yan said.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Yuan Xi said with a smile: "After the implementation of the paper copper currency, I have enough funds. As long as you are willing to do it, I will immediately mobilize 500 million funds and send them to Jixian County. Then order the Youzhou Assassin Mansion to cooperate with your actions. ”

"Yes..."

Zhen Yan didn't know the bottom in her heart, but she still responded boldly.

"Don't tell anyone about it. In particular, it must not alarm the major families. I can't let them know that the funds for the purchase of shops and land in Youzhou were provided by me. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, understood..."

The two replied in unison.

Yuan Xi had already made up his mind, got up and said, "Okay, you can leave today." I wish you every success. ”

..................

Yuan Xi sent someone back to the armory, forged an iron pot and sent it. For the whole day, he stayed at the No. 1 Restaurant, teaching the chefs there how to stir-fry. All kinds of meat and vegetarian dishes are stir-fried in lard through the iron pot. The resulting dish is fragrant and delicious.

The diners who came to the first restaurant smelled the fragrance and drooled greedily.

Many children of rich families couldn't help but want to eat and paid a high price. Gradually, a small auction was formed. Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were busy and made a lot of money.

Yuan Xi took local materials and demonstrated all the stir-fried dishes he knew to the chefs in the restaurant, and then they took charge of the cooking. Before leaving, he also packed and took away food worth thousands of dollars.

Assassin in the house.

Gao Ling's condition was much better, and she was sent back to her courtyard by her four maids.

Gao Yanwei came to visit and talked to her.

Yuan Xi walked to the door and heard Gao Yan ask, "Ling'er, did you fall by yourself?" ”

"Hmm."

"I heard that Zhen Mi's girl was also present at the time, isn't she..."

"Father, don't talk nonsense." Gao Ling glanced around and found that no one was relieved: "Sister Zhen is very good to me, and she has a good heart. She wouldn't do something like that. When I fell, she ran over and helped me and stepped on a puddle of water... ”

Gao Ling explained.

Gao Yanwu nodded and said, "Okay, you said she didn't have a heart, so she didn't have a heart." Anyway, when you arrived since you were a child, you have a lot of ideas, and I can't control you. I couldn't manage it before, and I can't manage it now. ”

"Father, don't worry about me, I know it." Gao Ling smiled.

"Hmm."

Gao Yanwei is still worried.

He remembered his former harem, those wives who were as poisonous as scorpions and as ruthless as wolves, assassinating their opponents all the time for power. Now, Gao Ling is Zhen Mi's opponent, and if he gives birth to a man, he may inherit the throne. Can Zhen Miqi be willing?

"Ahem..."

Yuan Xi felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and walked in quickly.

Gao Yanwei turned around, saw Yuan Xi coming in, and hurriedly saluted: "See the lord." ”

"Get up, get up..." Yuan Xi helped him up and said with a smile: "You are Ling'er's father, that is, my father-in-law." If you want to bow to me, I don't know what to do. When you see me later, just give it away. ”

"Yes."

Yuan Xi walked to the bedside, inquired about Gao Ling's injury, and said to Gao Yan: "I personally investigated the matter of Ling'er's fall, and it was indeed an accident, and it has nothing to do with Zhen Mi. Father-in-law, don't speculate. There is a lot of speculation, but it is not good. ”

"Yes..."

Gao Yanxian was shocked in his heart.

Yuan Xi actually knew what he was thinking, could it be that he heard his conversation with Gao Ling?

Gao Yan was worried about getting into trouble and affecting Gao Ling, so he arched his hand and said, "Retire first." ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi didn't keep him either.

After Gao Yanwu left, she talked a lot with Gao Ling, and only when she fell asleep did she go to Zhen Mi to rest.
