176 Strange and ingenious things
"Well, are you interested in these items in our warehouse?"
Li Tianyang, who sat on the main seat with his back and eight forks, and recuperated for a long time, waited until everyone was sitting on the seat to taste pastries and tea, and exchanged their heads and ears before what they saw and heard, then he opened his mouth and said with a smile.
In fact, there is no need for Li Tianyang to ask, just the exclamations and shouts that everyone made from time to time before, you can see everyone's interest in these objects in the warehouse of Qixintang at this moment.
In order to be able to leave this batch of gold, Li Tianyang revealed to all the members of the Chamber of Commerce present in advance various novelties that had been collected from the Hongmen R&D Institute and the Shenji Department of Bengang Academy in recent years, but had not yet been sold to the public.
"Well, there are really many talents under the command of Lord Admiral, and there are countless wonderful and exquisite things in this warehouse, which really make people linger, and make the old people and others have the heart to collect!"
Xu Haibin and others naturally nodded their heads very frequently, although it was only an hour or so of visiting, many of them were only seen by everyone, and they did not know their real commercial value and prospects, and it was difficult for everyone to make a judgment, but just the objects that they could understand their use for, but there were also many objects of great commercial value.
"Of course, the timing is a bit rushed, and I guess you don't know what you're going to do with a lot of things, so let's eat something to fill in while listening to our professionals show you a thing or two?"
Even if he announced his collection in advance, Li Tianyang was unwilling to let the technology of these objects in his hands be dusty and devalued, so he had already asked Dong Haoran to arrange articulate people to introduce them to the principles and uses of novel objects.
"That's great!"
Many members nodded one after another, Li Tianyang's arrangement is exactly what everyone is praying for, although their horizons have been broadened, they are also a little moved by many objects, but in business, if they really want them to put their hearts into action, it is not just Li Tianyang's visit for more than an hour can be moved.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the little one is here to ask you a belated good morning, and I am fortunate to be here today to introduce the little things of our Qixintang to all the owners, so that the little one has not slept peacefully since last night, and he is rolling over and over in bed."
"It's good, I accidentally annoyed the tigress at home, turned to me and told me that she had a cure for insomnia, and asked me if I would like to give it a try."
"The small one naturally said that it was okay, if such an important thing today was delayed because of insomnia, even if the small one was chopped alive, it would make up for the losses of the owners, wouldn't it?"
"I saw my aunt-in-law, a weird smile, let me close my eyes, the little only felt a pain on the head, and suddenly the whole person was no longer conscious, until this morning I got up and looked under the pillow of my aunt-in-law, only to find that she didn't know when to put her laundry mallet under the pillow, and then the little one understood what my aunt-in-law's so-called cure for insomnia was last night!"
The new guy is really not a loss of Dong Haoran's articulate person selected from Qixintang, obviously a little joke that is not very funny at the beginning, with his aggrieved and humorous expression, everyone is shaking and laughing as soon as he comes up.
"Just a little joke, to refresh the nobles, but to get back to the point, the next little one has to do the errand arranged by our owner neatly, otherwise if the owner of our family is annoyed and does not pay the salary, the small aggravated mother-in-law's mallet under the pillow is afraid that it will show off its strengths again!!"
Everyone laughed again, and then the golden round object, which was less than one-third the size of the palm of the hand, was dangled by a golden chain hanging on the hand.
"It's the culmination of today's craftsmen, it's ingenious, and it's very useful."
As he spoke, the docent opened the front cover of the circular object, revealing the crystal clear inner shell of the object, with precise scales along the circumference and three hands of different lengths.
From this description, I am afraid that the judges already know in their hearts what the first object in the hands of this interpreter is.
"Presumably, all of you have a self-striking clock created by our Qixintang in your home, but this small object has the same function as the self-striking clock: timekeeping!"
"Don't despise this little object because of its size, except that it can't chime according to the hour like a self-striking bell, the rest of its function is no different from it, and even more accurate!"
"The reason why the small one says that this thing is the product of the craftsmen of this era is the pinnacle of creation, and it is precisely here: in order to make the parts of this object, it takes half a month to polish and manufacture it alone, and the measurement is accurate, and the small dare to guarantee, except for our Hongmen, no one in the Ming Dynasty can make such ingenious things!"
"This thing is small and delicately shaped, needless to say, all the nobles can probably imagine the benefits!"
"You don't have to worry anymore that in the rainy weather, because you don't know the time, you miss the opportunity to have a tryst with which aunt; You don't have to worry about going to the meeting place too early or too late when socializing in the future, causing the other party's disgust or delaying your own important things. ”
"For this reason, our owner, Lord Li, the Admiral of the Ming Dynasty, also specially named it an apt name - pocket watch!!"
“…………”
It is worthy of being a talent selected in Qixintang, just a pocket watch, it was blown to the sky, all kinds of advantages that are not there are hung with it, and even Li Tianyang himself doubts, does this object really have so many advantages? Why didn't you think of it?
After finally introducing the pocket watch, the narrator picked up an equally novel steel object and came out, but it was a bicycle that had been put into use at the R&D Institute.
"This thing, but it's actually a good thing, although I don't dare to say that I travel thousands of miles a day, but as long as I am familiar with it, there is no problem with traveling a hundred miles a day."
In addition to the bicycle in the research and development institute put into use, in Hongmen other places have not been traced, the reason is naturally that the raw materials it needs for steel, rubber and other Hongmen are in short supply today, now in order to let the owners here contribute all the gold in their hands, and even let them pay more silver money, Li Tianyang is the entire family to be empty.
"What's this guy's name?"
Li Tianyang listened to the explanation of the narrator on the stage with great interest, and felt more and more that the person in front of him was a second person, and couldn't help but whisper to ask Dong Haoran next to him.
"This person's surname is Wen Mingkui, but he is a scholar we recruited from Zhejiang Huiji, I heard that he was recruited into Beijing and became a member of the students, and his literary knowledge is still good. It's just that I don't know why I came to our Hongmen, not only did I not enter the school again, but I also entered the Qixin Hall to start as a buddy, and with a clever mouth, he was quickly promoted in the Qixin Hall and became one of the town's cousins. ”
For people who can show their prominence in such an important matter today, Dong Haoran naturally wants to review it, and when Li Tianyang asked, he answered in detail in his chest.
"Oh? It turns out that he is still a scholar, and he can go against the Confucian way to do business, and he is either a scheming or a genius, so you can say hello to the internal guards and let them pay more attention to this person! ”
Li Tianyang was only interested in his eloquence, but he didn't think that he was also a very interesting person, which made Li Tianyang more and more curious about what a strange person this man named Wen Kui was.
"Yes!"
Dong Haoran happily accepted the order, and at the same time quietly glanced at Wen Kui, who was still talking about the products for the proprietors present, and felt a little more jealous and envious in his heart: This guy is really lucky, he can actually enter the eyes of adults, with his ability and eloquence, he will become a character like himself in the future!
Think about whether he can have his current status and identity, or whether he has been up for an unknown amount of time, and how much hardship and hard work he has put in behind it.
And the one in front of him is only because of his own origin and this sharp tooth, but he can be remembered by Li Tianyang, what kind of luck this is!
Secretly glanced at Li Tianyang again, looking at Li Tianyang still looking at Wen Kui in front of him with an admiring expression, Dong Haoran had all kinds of feelings in his heart, but then he was pressed down again, took two deep breaths, and gradually calmed down.
No, the next thing is to have a better attitude towards this Wen Kui, and if you are weak, you might as well say a few good words for him, and if the other party can be favored by Li Tianyang and climb to a high position, he can also become his own reinforcement in the gang.
After all, he used to be the director of the Hongmen Whale Department, and soon Dong Haoran thought more far-reaching, and at this time, the eyes that looked at Wen Kui were a little less jealous and unhappy, but a little more enthusiastic.
Of course, Wen Kui, who was working hard at this time, knew that he had entered Li Tianyang's eyes, and as long as he was really capable in the future, I am afraid that he would be able to take this opportunity to emerge in the Hongmen and become one of the middle and high-level leaders of the Hongmen.
Just to explain the more than 20 Hongmen unique products in the warehouse to these chamber of commerce proprietors, Wen Kui spent almost half a day. In the meantime, Li Tianyang and many proprietors also had a simple lunch in this warehouse, fortunately Li Tianyang and they had made arrangements in advance, otherwise I would not have thought that this temporary commentator was so good, and they were stunned to talk about the creation that Li Tianyang thought they thought would be up to the sky in the last morning, and it was about to sink westward, and they saw that it was about to fall under the western horizon.
"I have delayed so much time for the nobles, and the small ones have made amends, if there is a place where the explanation is not in place, please don't blame the nobles, it is really limited in eloquence, and I can't talk about all the advantages of these objects in detail!"
Finally, after Wen Kui finished introducing the last object - canned fruit sealed in a glass bottle, his voice had become a lot hoarse, and he bowed down at this time.
"That's just that eloquence is limited, so what is eloquence? I don't know if this gentleman is interested in coming to our firm to work, don't dare to say anything else, a semicolon shopkeeper can't run! ”
Li Tianyang is not the only one who has a good vision in the world, just the continuous explanation of these few hours, many of the business owners present here, many of them became interested in this Wen Kui, who did not seem to have a high status in Hongmen, and even began to dig up the corner in front of Li Tianyang.
"Eh, Boss Xu, you're not authentic, eating the food of our Hongmen, sitting and enjoying the hospitality of our Hongmen, and even digging the corner of our Hongmen!!"
Li Tianyang didn't seem to be safe, but in fact, he joked and said to Wen Kuidi Xu Haibin with the exit.
"Hahaha, my lord, your lord is also not authentic, such a good talent, you actually treat him as a buddy, it really makes the old man feel distressed!"
Only Xu Haibin, the proprietor of a big business, and at the same time a friendly ally of Hongmen, had the courage to say this to Li Tianyang.
However, deep down in Xu Haibin's heart, why didn't he want to take this opportunity to show the other business owners present that they had a harmonious relationship with Li Tianyang, so that their position in the Chamber of Commerce would be further consolidated!
The influence of the old man Xu Jie's officialdom has almost disappeared with the passage of time, and the juniors in his family are not helpful, and there is no longer a figure who has been in the officialdom for several generations like the old man Xu Jie, so he can only find a partner or backer from the officialdom, so as to maintain the status of the Xu family in Songjiang Mansion now.
And Li Tianyang, who rose to prominence in the Ming Dynasty, although he is only a military attache who has been recruited, is not even a martial artist, and if he is placed on other people, I am afraid that the future of officialdom will stop at his current position.
However, in the early days, Jirentang and Hongmen were filthy, and later the interaction with Hongen, seeing Hongmen gradually becoming stronger, gradually aging and scheming, Xu Haibin felt that Li Tianyang's future prospects must be more than this, so he began to focus on maintaining a better and deeper relationship with Hongmen, and finally surpassed Defuxuan and became Hongmen's most important business partner.
After the joke, Li Tianyang gradually withdrew his smile, looked at the many proprietors around him with a meaningful expression, and said slowly: "How about it, rich people, are you interested in these objects in our Qixintang today, are you willing to buy some and sell them in the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"If you want to, don't dare to ask you!!"
After Wen Kui's almost all-round introduction before, all the proprietors present had a plan in their hearts about the more than 20 unique products that Hongmen took out in one fell swoop at this time, and nodded and replied again and again.
"Very good, then I won't say much, but whatever everyone likes, you just need to communicate with the shopkeeper Dong next to me, and he will naturally talk to you in detail, and I, a layman, will not participate!"
Li Tianyang casually pointed to Dong Haoran beside him, pushed him to the front of the stage, and at the same time did not forget to raise Wen Kui, who was very interested: "Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask our Mr. Wen for advice!" ”
