Chapter 54: The old king next door is really rich
Although the errand is hard, it still has to be done.
The chalk market is so big, everyone wants a piece of the pie, which will inevitably lead to price reductions.
If you want to raise the price in a short period of time and make the life of the displaced people better, it is inevitable to open up new markets.
Based on the productivity of the north, the chalk business was done in the south.
It's easy to say, but it's a different way to do it.
There has to be a leader.
In fact, Du Shen thinks that the British Gong and others are not bad, they are all people who have been entrusted once, and they are experienced, and they must be skilled in doing this kind of thing again.
There's just a problem!
The first time you were a trust, everyone thought you were awesome and far-sighted, not only could not see it, but also touted you.
But the second time is different, maybe there will be smart people who will find clues, and it won't sound good to spread it.
Therefore, there has to be a big man with a high status and rich thieves to take the lead.
So!
Du Shen hit the idea on the head of Wang Changgui, the richest man in the capital.
Wang Changgui is in his early forties this year, and he came out of Guanzhong in his early years, and his family has more than 10,000 acres of fertile land, and there are many ministers who have a good relationship with him, which can be said to be very weighty.
Wang fu.
Du Shen took Liu Quan and Zhao Xiu to stop in front of the door.
After slamming the door, a servant walked out.
"What are you doing?"
"In Xia Dushen, in addition to visiting the king, please report it."
These days, Du Shen's fame can be said to be a household name in the capital, and the little guy naturally knows about him, so he hurriedly entered the door to report, and did not dare to slack off.
It didn't take a while.
The servant came over with a tall, thin butler.
The housekeeper saluted Du Shen and said, "My lord is invited, Mr. Du Shen please come with the villain." ”
Du Shen smiled and nodded, and walked in with Liu Quan and Zhao Xiu.
I have to say that Wang Changgui is known as the richest man in the capital, not in vain, and covers a wide area, which is not much different from the British House.
Moreover, there are rockeries and flowing water in the house, pavilions and pavilions are located in it, and there is even a forest in it, which is not magnificent.
Soon, the housekeeper led Du Shen and others to a pavilion, and Wang Changgui sat on the stone bench, and there was a tea set on the stone table, and the faint fragrance of tea was refreshing.
"I don't know what Mr. Du Shen is here, what is going on......"
Wang Changgui sipped the tea, beckoned Du Shen and the others to sit down, and put his posture very high.
"But there is a business I want to talk to about with the staff."
Du Shen nodded and sat down.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, he was the son of Xin Chengbo, his status was noble, and no one dared to hold it up so much in front of him.
It's just that his own master doesn't care, and he, who is an apprentice, is not easy to intervene.
And Liu Quan was silent and stood firmly behind Du Shen.
Wang Changgui glanced at Du Shen and asked curiously, "What kind of business is it, let's hear about it." ”
If others were to talk to Wang Changgui about business, I am afraid that they would have been blasted out a long time ago, but since he is a well-known Du Shen, he has to listen carefully.
After all, no one is afraid of money.
Du Shen replied lightly: "Naturally, it's a chalk business." ”
Wang Changgui frowned, a little disappointed: "Chalk business? To tell you the truth, there are also mountains contracted by myself in Zhili and other places, and this business was really profitable at first, but now it has declined, if you want to talk about the chalk business......"
He stretched out his voice for a long time, and although he didn't say anything, the meaning was obvious.
Du Shen shook his head and said: "Wang Yuanwai thinks that the chalk business is no longer good, but in fact, the chalk market is now only in the north, but if it is put in the south, it is different, the south has a good literary style, and the market is at least twice as large as the north." ”
Wang Changgui was a little moved, but adhering to the concept of no profit and no early, he still asked: "It is not so simple to open up new markets, it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources, who will pay for this?" ”
The corners of Du Shen's mouth twitched, do you still need to think about it?
Of course it's you!
But he would definitely not say it so directly: "The initial investment is certain, but as the first person to pick peaches, the harvest must be the largest." ”
Wang Changgui is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, although he can't be called cunning and cunning, but he will not be easily fooled.
At that moment, he shook his head lightly and said: "What Mr. described is exciting, but it's a pity that I don't have enough spare energy, I'm afraid I can't cooperate with this business." ”
Wang Changgui knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to pay for it himself, he would first have to open up the markets in the north and south, and the route for transporting chalk would have to be planned.
What's more, there are so many rich squires in the south, and the saying that the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is not in vain.
The merchants in that place were more profitable than the other, and it was a trouble to make money on their territory.
Seeing this, Du Shen wanted to bother to move the other party again, but Wang Changgui's attitude was very cold, and with a wave of his hand unceremoniously, he lightly spit out the word "send-off".
It can be said that he looks down on people very much.
Let's go!
Du Shen arched his hand: "Farewell!" ”
Wang Changgui nodded: "Don't send it." ”
……
After leaving the palace!
The more Zhao Xiu thought about it, the more angry he became, walking side by side with his own master, and asked, "Master, isn't that it?" That Wang Changgui is too ignorant. ”
Du Shen glanced at him, shook his head and said, "What can you do?" People are so rich, who can say no to the shelf? ”
Zhao Xiu said angrily: "Let the apprentice find my father to arrange a trumped-up charge for him, and put him in prison to rectify it." ”
Don't look at Zhao Xiu's well-behaved performance in front of Du Shen, but he has been determined to engage in the promising profession of ranger since he was a child, and in his bones he is not afraid of the lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, so why not make him unhappy?
"Nonsense! Acting for the teacher all his life, above board, since you worship under my door, how can you have such thoughts! ”
The corners of Du Shen's mouth twitched wildly and reprimanded him directly.
If you don't negotiate a word, you have to put people to death!
This is too devilish!
Why can't you learn from your senior brother Zhang Hao, and see how calm people are now.
Even if you want to do it, you can't come openly!
Zhao Xiu lowered his head and said that he knew his mistake, but he didn't dare to mention this method again.
At this time, Liu Quan suddenly spoke: "Engong, there are many rich and powerful people in the capital, should we go to the door to lobby again?" ”
Du Shen glared at him: "Don't call Engong, call the principal." ”
Liu Quan smiled bitterly and had to change his title.
Lobbying other companies to open up the southern market sounds like a good idea.
It's not that there are no people in the capital who are richer than Wang Chang, but those people are not simple goods, they have a big background, they are all some people who make a fortune in a muffled voice, and their reputation is not obvious, and it is not suitable.
is rich and powerful, and only Wang Changgui is full.
Du Shen pondered for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Pregnant!
"Does Wang Changgui have a son?"
"There is a son, named Wang Gui, who should be eighteen this year!"
Liu Quan said, a little confused, not knowing why his principal suddenly asked this.
Yo Lao Wang, your son is not very old!
Du Shen smiled!
Lao Tzu is not easy to fool, my son can always fool him!
Don't look at Wang Gui is still your Wang Changgui's son, but in the next second, he may be my apprentice.
The so-called one-day apprenticeship is a lifelong father, and he is another father of Wang Gui!
Thinking of this, Du Shen asked directly: "What is the character of Wang Gui?" His father is so rich, he must be a gentleman! ”
However, what Du Shen didn't expect was that Liu Quan shook his head and said: "Back to the principal's words, I haven't heard that Wang Gui has a gentlemanly style, but all I heard is praise, he seems to have a good character, he doesn't have the bad habits of a gentleman, and he is diligent and studious, he is a good young man!" ”
Du Shen was stunned!
What the hell!
His father is so rich, isn't he a gentleman?
Don't play with women, and don't bully men and women?
As a rich second generation, do you still do things?
has a brilliant character, is diligent in studying, and accepts others as apprentices, at most it is the icing on the cake, will this Wang Changgui read his own good?
No, I can't!
Du Shen looked indignant, this kind of atmosphere must be extinguished, as a people's teacher with noble ethics and lofty feelings, he has the obligation and responsibility, and must take Wang Gui on the "right path"!
Otherwise, this kid will be ruined!
