Chapter 43: The Helper

Although Zhao Yulong and the others drank a lot less wine than Li Hongyu, they got up much later than Li Hongyu, and they didn't wake up until the afternoon, yawning one by one and coming to the living room to meet, looking a little tired.

During this time, the little white face disguised as a man smashed the contents of the room and left again in men's clothes, and according to the description of the servant, her face was cold and she looked very angry.

Zhao Yulong and others felt sorry in their hearts after learning that Li Hongyu and Xiao Bai Face had a tie because of an accident, and finally had the opportunity to defeat Xiao Bai Face, but they missed it.

However, the result of the draw is acceptable to everyone, as long as they are not defeated by hateful guys like Sun Feng and Yang Renxiao, and they don't go to wash the dirty pants of the girls of Qingfeng Pavilion.

Besides, with Li Hongyu's words, he is not afraid that Sun Feng and Yang Renxiao and others will use their little white faces to show off their power in the wine field, at least Li Hongyu has the ability to drink over that little white face, which makes Sun Feng and Yang Renxiao and others afraid to be arrogant anymore.

"Hongyu, I was really lucky to you last night, otherwise the second brother's face would have been planted." On the way home, in the carriage, Zhao Yulong rubbed his forehead and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, he still had a faint pain in his mind because he drank too much wine last night.

"Second brother, I was also lucky, but I didn't expect that in the end, he also broke the wine jar." Li Hongyu smiled and said disapprerovingly, "If I drink it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it." ”

"You've just started drinking now, and you'll be able to drink that kid in two years."

Zhao Yulong laughed when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't know the bottom in his heart at the beginning, he just wanted to try it, but he didn't expect that in the end, Li Hongyu and that kid were equal, which was also an unexpected joy, and gave him a sigh of relief.

"By the way, you had a good chat with that kid last night, what is his origin?" Saying that, Zhao Yulong remembered something and asked with interest.

He naturally heard about last night's incident, Li Hongyu and Xiaobaimian called each other brothers, talked and laughed, and finally lived in the same room for a long talk, which seemed to have a good relationship, which surprised him, so he wanted to find out the details of Xiaobaimian.

"Second brother, I was already drunk at that time and didn't know what he had done, and I really couldn't remember if he had said anything about his family history." A look of embarrassment flashed on Li Hongyu's face, and he shook his head seriously after a deep groan.

"Don't worry, since this kid is in Xiangyang City, sooner or later he will find out his details." Zhao Yulong stretched out his hand and patted his drowsy forehead, he knew what it was like to be drunk, so he would not force Li Hongyu to recall, what happened after being drunk was really difficult to remember.

"Second brother, I think that Yan'er girl is very good, when did you accept her?" Li Hongyu remembered something and asked quietly, in his opinion, the best way to keep Xiaobai's face and his secret is for Zhao Yulong to take Yan'er as a concubine, so that Yan'er is his own person of course will not talk nonsense.

"You also know that our family has a good face, Yan'er has a bad background, they won't agree to Yan'er entering the door."

Zhao Yulong shook his head when he heard this, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as a Confucian in Xiangyang, how could Zhao Guangfeng let a Qinglou woman enter the Zhao family's house, even if it was a cheap concubine, so as not to humiliate the family.

"Second brother, have you ever thought about doing business?" Li Hongyu bowed slightly, he naturally knew that the Zhao family's family style was extremely strict, although Zhao Yulong was spending a lot of wine outside, he didn't dare to bring Yan'er back, and then asked with a smile.

Unlike Zhao Yuxin, Zhao Yulong, who is bold by nature, is not a material for reading at all, although he has been immersed in the atmosphere of a scholarly family since he was a child, he has no interest in the imperial examination.

In the eyes of the outside world, Zhao Yulong is an out-and-out loser who has lived up to the expectations of the Zhao family, but Li Hongyu doesn't think so, after last night's incident, he realized that Zhao Yulong's communication skills are very strong, which is a rare talent, and it is just right to do business.

Therefore, Li Hongyu made such a suggestion to Zhao Yulong, after all, Zhao Yulong can't always be so idle, and always have to start a family, otherwise he will be shrouded in the shadow of a scholarly family for the rest of his life.

"Business is not so easy to do, the business on the territory of Xiangyang has been carved up, and it is not easy to get involved." Zhao Yulong said with a smile when he heard this, "Besides, the second brother is embarrassed to follow them without tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

Among Zhao Yulong's friends, there are naturally many children from the family of businessmen, these businessmen are all big businessmen in Xiangyang, if Zhao Yulong wants to join in the fun, he must prepare a reasonable amount of money, otherwise he really has no face to do this, does he want the outside world to see the joke?

To tell the truth, Zhao Yulong is quite reluctant to have entanglements with his friends, everyone usually gets together, eats, drinks and has fun, once they have a relationship with money, the relationship between them will change the taste.

"Second brother, let's start from scratch and make a career together in the business field, I believe that with the ability of the second brother, we will definitely be able to fight a bloody way in the shopping mall."

Li Hongyu knew Zhao Yulong's personality and knew that he didn't want to involve entanglements of interests in the exchanges between friends, so he said with a smile.

"Self-made?" Zhao Yulong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with some surprise, "What, you didn't take the imperial examination?" ”

"The imperial examination must be examined, and the business must also be done, and the two complement each other and are indispensable." Li Hongyu smiled and said meaningfully to Zhao Yulong.

"Tell me, how to start from scratch?" Zhao Yulong has been in Xiangyang City for so many years, so he naturally knows what Li Hongyu means, which of those local businessmen does not hook up with the government, so he asked with interest.

"I found the secret method of dyeing cloth from an ancient book in the Western Regions, and the secret method of dyeing cloth is not only bright in color but also should not fade, as long as it is sold on the market, it must be very popular." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "In this way, we can make a lot of money." ”

"Ancient Books of the Western Regions?" Zhao Yulong's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, he never expected that Li Hongyu would get the secret method of dyeing cloth, which was really unexpected.

"That book was in my father's hand, and it was lost with my father." Li Hongyu's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, "When I moved last year, I accidentally found the secret method copied by my father, and successfully prepared the dye according to the above method. ”

"This is great, the quality of the fabric mainly depends on two points, one is the texture and the other is the coloring, as long as we have this secret method of dyeing cloth, at least we can raise the fabric by a grade, and the price difference on one side alone can make us make a lot of money."

Zhao Yulong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he immediately keenly smelled the huge business opportunities inside, if what Li Hongyu said was true, then they would make a lot of money.

"Second brother, we are novices in this industry, and we should not be aggressive, otherwise it will definitely arouse public anger." Li Hongyu already had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile when he heard this, "I think so, we can find a cloth merchant to cooperate, they weave cloth, we dye cloth, and run the fabric business together." ”

Although Li Hongyu has a unique way of dyeing cloth, he knows nothing about weaving, so he can't be too high-profile, otherwise once he angers those cloth merchants, he will cut off their supply of goods, so that they can cut off their back road.

And if you cooperate with a cloth merchant with weaving ability, then you don't have to worry about the problem of being cut off, and you can also share the business resources of the other party, why not.

"That's a safe way to go." Zhao Yulong bowed slightly when he heard this, he knew that the business field could be said to affect the whole body, if they just bumped into it so recklessly, they would definitely hit their heads and bleed, and the cloth merchants who felt threatened would definitely unite to resist them.

Doing business not only depends on the quality and price of the goods, but also needs the sales network, now Li Hongyu and Zhao Yulong are the first time to contact the cloth business, where there is this kind of resource, once the business is blocked, it will come to a standstill.

But it is different from one of the cloth merchant alliances with sufficient strength, so it has become a war between cloth merchants, both sides have been in business for many years and have a stable supply of goods and sales channels, it is not easy to block, if you don't do it, it will be a fish to die and the net will be broken.

"Second brother, my eldest brother has explored the pattern of the cloth business in Xiangyang Mansion, as far as I know, a cloth merchant named Sun Hongye has lost money year after year in recent years, and last year he also borrowed a loan shark to do business in Jiangnan, but unfortunately he also lost money, and now he should be desperate only to sell his property to repay the loan shark."

Since Li Hongyu talked about the cloth business with Zhao Yulong, he must have a complete plan, and he had no time to devote to the cloth business if he wanted to take the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, so he could only count on Zhao Yulong and Li Hongqing to carry out his plan.

Originally, Li Hongyu didn't want Zhao Yulong to get involved in this matter, but when he found out that Zhao Yulong had very strong communication skills and connections, he immediately realized that he had found a treasure, and if Zhao Yulong joined his plan, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

The reason is simple, Li Hongqing's status is too low to reach the upper echelons of the business world, which makes it take a lot of energy and time to implement his plan.

What is particularly important is that Li Hongqing is good at organization and management, and is not outstanding in interpersonal communication, and Zhao Yulong just makes up for this shortcoming, if the two cooperate, Li Hongyu has nothing to worry about.

"Sun Hongye?" Zhao Yulong immediately laughed when he heard the name mentioned by Li Hongyu, "I've heard about him, this guy is really unlucky, he could have made a lot of money in Jiangnan last year, but the warehouse caught fire before the deal was negotiated, and all the goods were burned, otherwise he would have been able to turn over with that single business." ”

"I see!" Li Hongyu nodded thoughtfully, Li Hongqing only heard that Sun Hongye's business in Jiangnan failed, and he didn't know how to fail, after all, the status of the people he came into contact with was limited, and now it seems that Sun Hongye is really unlucky.

Subsequently, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, now that Sun Hongye has been cornered, he definitely wants to make a comeback, so that the two sides can cooperate better.

Li Hongyu didn't believe that Sun Hongye's warehouse would catch fire for no reason, nine times out of ten it was man-made, Sun Hongye must want revenge, which would make him work harder in the future business.
