Brother Xiong's success has actually aroused the envy, jealousy, and hatred of many people.

Because no matter how you look at it, Brother Xiong is not a businessman, but he can make a fortune.

There are occasional moments, but there are also inevitability.

The chance is that Brother Xiong met Han Yi, Han Yi never looked down on him, but showed great appreciation for him, which led to him being very confident since he was a child, which is the basic element of success, and it is impossible for people who are not confident to succeed.

Although Brother Xiong is extremely clumsy and slow to react, it is precisely because of this that his mind is very delicate, he will carefully ponder everything, observe, take his time, not be in a hurry at all, and is willing to use his brain, especially in terms of eating, he is very interested, this slow work is meticulous. More importantly, he is kind-hearted, his first thought is not profit, but to be able to make everyone happy, why he made this canned lychee, is because he hopes to see the happy expression of people in Chang'an eating lychee, he thinks it is very cool.

This is also why everyone likes all the products produced by Xiaopang Group, because Xiaopang's original intention is this, he just wants everyone to like him, and what he is most afraid of is that everyone hates him.

Brother Taibai is right, I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone.

It's all about being able to use your strengths.

And Chubby will give full play to his advantages, so his success is inevitable.

.....．

With the arrival of cargo ships at Chang'an Wharf, it also indicates that Chang'an's funds are being withdrawn and materials are becoming abundant.

Therefore, it is time for Chang'an to get out of this special period and return to normal.

You must know that Chang'an is still in a special period.

.....．

Today, the sky is beautiful and the sun is shining, and I saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the north lane, all of them looking forward to it, looking east and west in the north lane. It turned out that after many days of construction, North Lane finally had to remove the obstacles at the entrance of the alley and open the first cement road in history.

Everyone is very much looking forward to this, when building the cement road, they have all come to see, after all, this is the product of Fengfeilou, but at that time they saw the cement is like thin mud, as if it is pasted up, or can not imagine what this cement road looks like, today finally to unveil this layer is not a mystery veil.

Not only that, but today is also the time when North Lane reopens, of course, only some restaurants have opened, and most of the rest of the stores are still not open. The gold bank has already opened, but the gold bank has not been fully opened, but only for some VIP customers, not for the people, because the gold bank has no money at present, the people have taken the money away, and Sang Mu also transferred part of the funds to Jiangnan, which means that the gold bank is currently only responsible for the gold ticket business.

Therefore, Sang Mu and Cha Wu also made a simple opening ceremony, but Han Yi did not come forward, after all, now Han Yi is Shang Shuling, he does not reject his identity as a businessman, but now there are many government affairs waiting for him to deal with, he wants to stand here easily, what will people think.

As soon as the ceremony was over, everyone poured into the North Alley, but they didn't come to buy anything, and they didn't seem to have anything to buy, they just wanted to step on the concrete road and try the feeling.

"Is this the cement we saw that day? How to become hard like a stone. ”

"Wow... It's a little smoother than the road inside the palace. ”

"Incredible, incredible!"

"It's amazing--- it's amazing!"

......．

After everyone poured into the North Lane, they stood on the cement road and jumped, or trotted, or ran, everyone seemed extremely excited, it can be seen that they have been infected by this era in terms of thinking, and their desire and expectation for new things have reached a new height, not the same as before, all of them are very conservative, and they are unwilling to try new things.

In addition, there are many children, teenagers, pedaling small three-wheeled, bicycles, and even skates, excited to gallop on the cement road, used to be on the stone road, it was really bumpy, now this smooth cement road is really suitable for bicycles without rubber tires, the leader is Han Yi's eldest son Han Xuanjiao, in addition, there are Yuan Ying, Yuan Zheng them, now Han Xuanyi is staying in Yuanjiabao every day, where it is much more fun than Xiao Mansion.

"Daddy! Daddy! ”

Han Xuanyi stepped on the bicycle designed by Han Yi himself, carried his sister Han Rui, and greeted Han Yi who had just walked from the side of the special passage.

Han Rui was curious: "Brother, why don't you go over?" ”

Han Xuanyi said: "Sister, didn't you see that there are still Grandpa Li and Grandpa Yan?" ”

"So what?"

"Then if we go over, we have to salute them again, what a disappointment, I don't want to get out of the car."

......．

The person standing next to Han Yi was not a businessman, but Li Ji, Yan Liben, and Li Chunfeng.

Yan Liben had already noticed Han Xuanyi, and couldn't help but be curious: "Why did this Ling Gongzi leave again?" ”

Of course, Han Yi knew his son's thoughts, but he said: "He's so naughty!" ”

Li Chunfeng stroked his beard and smiled: "Ling Gongzi is really like you!" ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Is Li Taishi's words a compliment or a debasement?" ”

Li Chunfeng said: "The old man thought to himself, like Shang Shuling, it shouldn't be degraded!" ”

"Not necessarily, a few years ago, who wanted to say that your son was very similar to Zhongshu Ling, I was afraid that you would die of anger."

"Haha.....!"

.....．

"This cement is amazing!"

Li Ji didn't seem to be paying attention, he lightly stepped on the cement road a few times, bent down again, and gently stroked the cement floor with his calloused big hands.

Han Yi said with a smile: "Sikong, I plan to use this magical cement for the construction of the amusement park." ”

Li Ji stood up, waved his hand and said: "The amusement park is only secondary, it is only for people to have fun, we should use this cement for city defense as soon as possible, so that we can better protect the people of my Datang." ”

Yan Liben nodded straight and said: "The stone that can be changed at will, this is really a very apt description, this cement can make my Datang construction to a higher level!" ”

He is a professional in this field, and the emergence of cement can help the Ministry of Industry solve many difficulties.

Han Yi said with a smile: "That's why I have always insisted on using invention and creativity to make the country strong and rich, when I can build a strong city in one day, the enemy's iron hooves will no longer be able to threaten us, and when our bows and arrows can shoot several times the distance of the enemy, then we will become invincible." ”

Li Jichang sighed and said: "It's a pity that the treasury has no money now, I'm afraid I can't afford to buy your cement!" ”

You old fox! Han Yi scolded secretly, but said with a smile: "Sikong, it hurts your feelings to talk about money, you can rest assured, I will donate some cement to the imperial court for free, which will be used for the construction of the city." ”

Yan Liben was surprised: "Is this true? ”

Han Yi nodded.

Li Chunfeng stroked his beard and smiled: "Although Brother Han is the richest businessman in my Tang Dynasty and has money, since he is a businessman, he should not donate for free." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "It depends on which angle to analyze, if it is from the perspective of the imperial court, it is a free donation, but from the perspective of our Fengfeilou, at present, everyone has not fully understood the role of cement, and I can't explain it one by one, this has to be seen is believing, I donated it to the imperial court for the city to see, I believe this will also make everyone have a very deep understanding of cement." ”

In the end, it's advertising.

Yan Liben nodded and smiled: "I see." ”

Han Yi said: "But this will have to wait until after the new policy is promulgated." ”

Li Ji asked again: "Then I wonder when this new policy will be promulgated?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "It's almost there, but it still has to be seen by His Majesty." ”

When Li Ji heard this, he couldn't help frowning, this Li Zhi's body is indeed worrying.

During the conversation, they suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd, and the three of them looked up, but saw that the tourists on the street suddenly gathered at several points.

"What's going on?" Li Chunfeng was surprised.

Han Yi was also stunned, took a closer look, and found that the guests were all gathered in Tongxiong Shop, and soon formed a long queue in front of Tongxiong Shop, and immediately reacted, and couldn't help but curse, this little fat man, really hateful, came to steal my limelight again, but said: "Don't worry, I'll let people get the answer immediately." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned Cha Wu over again and said a few words in Cha Wu's ear. Cha Wu nodded, and then walked briskly to the backyard.

Li Ji and the others were confused.

.....．

"Bring me fifty cans of lychees."

"I want a hundred cans."

I saw some usually polite sons, standing at the door of Tongxiong Shop, pushing each other, shouting with hideous faces, where do they look like a noble son.

"A few guest officers, I'm really sorry, our little fat brother has instructed that one person can only sell two cans at most."

"Why? It's not like we're out of money. ”

"That's right, the amount of pulp in this jar is limited, and Brother Chubby hopes that more people will eat the pulp in this jar."

"Well said, I often say that Xiaopang is the most honest businessman in the world, those people in front, are you rich and great, who has no money!"

"That's it, that's it, you don't talk nonsense, you all follow the rules."

.....．

It turned out that Xiaopang's Tongxiong store opened today, and Xiaopang put his canned fruit on sale in Tongxiong store.

As soon as this canned fruit appeared, it immediately sold like crazy.

It's much more popular than that jar dish.

Jar vegetables are mainly used for hurrying, but this fruit is different, now this year, you are in Chang'an, you can't eat the fruits of Jiangnan at all, like that lychee, many people only hear its name, and have never eaten it at all, even if you have money, now you can eat Li Zhi in Chang'an, which is simply indescribable.

Those aristocrats, dignitaries and dignitaries have come to the door to buy, this person is more and more, what cement, no one pays attention, not that they don't pay attention to this cement, but this cement can be seen every day, but there are so many canned fruits, there is no one step late.

This made Han Yi very embarrassed!

"The old man has also tasted lychees, and although the lychees in this jar taste different from fresh lychees, they are not bad and very delicious."

Li Ji ate the canned lychee that Han Yi just brought, and he was full of praise!

Li Chunfeng said curiously: "It will take at least three or four months to transport lychees from Jiangnan to Chang'an, how is this preserved?" ”

Han Yi shrugged and said, "I don't know this, this is the unique secret method of the Xiaopang Group." As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Li Ji and saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, so he said: "Sikong, please rest assured, in the future, our soldiers will definitely be able to eat this sweet fruit jar, and the enemy will never eat much, this is the advantage of our Datang!" ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed.

Li Ji and the others stood for a while, then took their leave, and when they left, the merchants gathered around.

"It's amazing, it's terrible, Brother Han, this little fat is really amazing, just this fruit can, I think the little fat group may really surpass Brother Han and your Fengfeilou!"

Peng Wanjin shook his head vigorously.

He is a candied fruit trader, and if he says that he does not envy it, it must be false.

Han Yi smiled: "I don't dare to deny this!" You see, now my cement has become unwanted, alas... You know, my cement has just come out! ”

Everyone praised Xiaopang, of course he was happy, but this is not really a compliment, in fact, in the past few years, the income of Xiaopang Group is not less than that of Han Yi, even if Han Yi's smuggling group is added, both sides are equal.

Nowadays, all the restaurants, wine shops, and tea shops in Yangzhou are all added together, and they are not as good as the Chubby Group, which is because the jar dishes of the Chubby Group are very suitable for smuggling groups and robbers, the main feature of Chubby is convenient, and the taste is not bad, and it can be preserved for a long time, those smugglers and robbers hide in the mountains every day, or run on this road, they are not bad for money, but they can't see the light, so they eat this Chubby dish all day long, Chubby Cake, and that chaotic period, the population flow is very large, It is equivalent to Xiaopang making a disaster fortune, and Xiaopang Group suddenly rose in Jiangnan and became a household name.

The most annoying thing is that Xiaopang didn't expect it in advance, he just happened to bump into it, when he just withdrew from Liangzhou, he invested the money in his hometown by the way, and he didn't know if he could go back to Chang'an at that time, he made so much money in a daze, he just donated money to Yangzhou College, it reached a thousand yuan, and he also did a lot of good deeds.

He has so much money, plus he is kind, he doesn't cut corners, tries not to increase the price, but is still investing to improve the taste of the little fat food, and at the same time is developing new products, the annoying thing is that this is still to satisfy his own interests and hobbies, because he likes to eat very much, but no matter how delicious things are, he will get bored if he eats too much, so he has to study new things.

But in this way, people will never be able to catch up with him, this is how the pot pulp was born, which is also an inevitable phenomenon of the birth of capitalism, that is, monopoly, whether you are unintentional or intentional, as long as the idea of capital appears, there will be a monopoly phenomenon, because you have enough money, you will invest in technology research and development, improve services, and even improve in an all-round way, then, you will always be ahead of others.

Therefore, the birth of capitalism will definitely promote the rapid development of technology, the two are inevitable, on the contrary, the small peasant economy will definitely hinder the development of technology, which is also inevitable, because if wealth and talent are not concentrated, there is no basis to study new technology, Xiaopang if there is no money, he can not get this canned fruit, he specially invited someone to design, and at first it was transported from Hongzhou to the Lingnan area, this is all burning money, even if ordinary people have ideas, it is impossible to afford it.

Nowadays, several big orchard owners in Lingnan are all Chubby's customers, and they only have one customer, Xiaopang, including the Yuan family, who are eager to supply Chubby, because it is Chubby's technology that sells their fruits, and those manor owners are also making a lot of money.

"Brother Han, don't be presumptuous, just your cement, how can you not sell it, if you want to be troublesome, you can hand it over to me to sell."

Qian Dafang shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

Zhang Daqi said with envy on his face: "Brother Han, your Fengfeilou is really full of talents!" Why don't any of our craftsmen have such ability? ”

Han Yi smiled: "It's very simple, because I have always valued these craftsmen very much, and I have never thought that this is a strange trick, I think that this cement was born in our Fengfei Building, it is a matter of course, if it is born in your workshop, I will feel very unfair, why." ”

Before that, no one paid much attention to craftsmen, and craftsmen were only productive forces for them, but after the promulgation of the patent law, this has been greatly improved, and the wages of good craftsmen are no less than those who read.

Yuwen Xiumi smiled and said, "Brother Han, I heard that you applied for a patent for this cement?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Do you want to buy it?" ”

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Of course I want to, I have always been eager to cooperate with you, Brother Han." ”

Han Yi said: "You will be exempted!" ”

Yuwen Xiumi said depressedly: "Why? ”

Han Yi said: "Your plate is big enough, you have acquired so many workshops, and now you haven't put these workshops on the right track, and you think about cement, the scale of cement production is not small, you have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, how can you have so much energy!"

Zhao Sijia leaned over and said, "What about me?" ”

"You can save it too." Han Yi said: "You all have a lot of business under your name, and most of them are in the process of recovery, if you want to take everything into your arms, this risk is very big, how can you have so much money to operate, you are currently trying to stabilize your plate, and when you have enough money, you will think about expanding your own business." As for this cement, I already have someone to work with. ”

When these businessmen heard this, they were immediately full of disappointment.

Han Yi said again: "It just so happens that you are all here, we have something to talk about!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"I have fulfilled my promise to sell all the goods you have produced during this period, and the crisis has passed for a long time, should we businessmen go back to the labor bill and pay the workers wages instead of just giving them a bite to eat."

When these merchants heard this, they fell silent for a moment, and their eyes rolled vigorously.

As a businessman, of course, they are mercenary, and they can't be willing to give an extra penny to solve the problem by giving a mouthful of food.

Han Yi swept his eyes and said: "Have you forgotten that the labor bill is not only for the good of the workers, but also for your good, if you don't pay the workers, even if the workers agree, if it goes on like this, the crisis will come back sooner or later, the reason is very simple, we do business, production is only secondary, the key is consumption, no one consumes, who are these things we produce sold to?" If you go to the two cities, except for a few big restaurants that are open, most of the rest of the wine shops and tea shops are still closed, why? It's that their customers are not rich businessmen like us, nor officials, but workers, so this is not a long-term solution, and we have to go back to the labor bill. ”

Dou Yi said suddenly: "Brother Han, it's not that we don't want to go back to the labor bill, but at present, copper coins are scarce on the market, and the demand for copper coins in the Jiangnan region is increasing, so we don't have any copper coins in our hands." ”

The rest of the merchants nodded their heads as well.

Han Yi Zhengse said: "This problem, the imperial court has been aware of it, and will make some adjustments to this, you can rest assured, but first of all, we have to return to the labor bill as soon as possible, I hope that after the new policy is promulgated, you will immediately implement the labor bill." ”

The merchants looked at each other.

Qian Dafang asked: "Then I wonder when this new policy will be promulgated?" ”

"It should be soon."

Han Yi said: "The new policy is very important to me in Datang, although it has not yet been promulgated, but it has been supported by the people, so I hope that you, the businessmen and landlords, can also fully support the new policy, I guarantee that you will benefit a lot from the new policy." ”

Qian Dafang hurriedly said: "Brother Han, we are all looking forward to the arrival of the new deal all day long!" ”

Han Yi smiled and nodded.
