Chapter 47: Full of Friends
In the evening, when Yang Chong returned to his house, he found that it was full of friends, Shi Shu Huxi, Pei Yi, Duhu Yanshou, Wang Bo, Meng Rang, Kong Yingda, Yuwen Wuji, seven unrelated people were sitting in the living room, talking enthusiastically. Wei Lei said with a bitter face, Shi Shu Huxi, Pei Yi, and Duhu Yanshou came together at noon, sat still and waited for Yang Chong to come back; So when the other four arrived in the afternoon, they didn't feel lonely, so they stayed together.
Kong Yingda was the most enlightened and skilled, and said to Yang Chong with a smile: "Don't worry about us, you take them to the study to say." β
Yuwen Wuji also said: "We are our own brothers, you solved Pei Gongzi's problem in advance." β
Yang Chong invited Shi Shu and Hu Xi to the study, Yang Chong's study was very small, with a table, four chairs, and a blank wall; After Yang Chong came back, his subordinates specially cleaned up, but Yang Chong's books were still pressed in the box, so the table was also empty. Pei Yi said with a smile: "Lord Yang's study is really simple, if you need it, I will send some calligraphy and painting tomorrow." β
Yang Chong beckoned the three of them to sit down and said: "Calligraphy and painting are exempt, if Pei Fu has a lot of books, you might as well give me a few, I don't care what kind of book it is, the more the merrier, use it to fill the faΓ§ade." β
Pei Yi and the three of them all laughed, and Shi Shu and Hu Xi smiled humbly and said, "Lord Yang, the villain just wants to ask, how the wine business works, I can't stay in Chang'an for too long." β
Yang Chong looked at Duhu Yanshou, and Pei Yi immediately explained: "Old Zhou has his own affairs in Yuhaizhai, so Yuhaizhai arranged for two other people to participate in this transaction, one is Brother Yanshou, and the other is Xiao Jing's nephew Xiao Jian, who is still in Xiapi, and it is estimated that it will take a while to reach Chang'an." β
Yang Chong said freely: "Since you all have a conclusion, I will tell you what I think." Let's talk about the shares first, Yuhai Zhai is forty percent, Pei family is two percent, Shi Shu Hu Xi is three percent, and I am one percent; If someone withdraws in the future, the remaining three will still distribute the shares of that one according to the original proportion. As for the share capital, there are three aspects of investment, one is to buy oak trees in Shandong, the other is to buy wine in Gaochang, and the other is to sell in Chang'an and the Central Plains. β
Pei Yi smiled faintly: "Yang Chong, the sales of Chang'an and the Central Plains are in charge of our Pei family and Xiao family, Gaochang is in charge of Shi Shu Huxi, and the transportation from Gaochang to Chang'an is in charge of the Duhu family. β
The three shareholders of Yuhaizhai, the Duhu family, the Xiao family, the royal Yang family, the Xiao family and the Duhu family have now assumed their respective functions, so it must be the royal Yang family who buys the formula. Pei Yi is sure that Yang Chong can understand what he says, so he will say it with such confidence, Yang Chong is an official of the imperial court, with Yuwenshu behind him, and he may not care if he offends the Pei family and others, but in the face of the royal family, he will definitely consider it.
The gate lord clan is really a vicious beast that eats people and does not spit scum, but Yang Chong is from modern society, and he has been a character who has competed under various squeezes since he was a child, somewhat Buddhist, Yang Chong said quietly: "Pei Yi, it's not that I don't believe in you, I don't care about this share, so let's help me make an appointment with the old man and Duhu, there are some things, I want to talk to them face-to-face." β
This is simply a slap in the face, Shi Shu Hu Xi couldn't close his mouth in surprise, Pei Yi's face was red and white, but Duhu Yanshou was a member of the group who went to Kangguo, guessed a few points, and promised: "My eldest brother just wants to see you, otherwise, I'll go back and say it, and set a time to inform you." β
Seeing Pei Yi and the three of them leave in frustration, Yuwen Wuji was a little gloating, and stopped Yang Chong, who was sending the guests back, and said: "Brother, my brother is here to ask you, why don't we do the wine business ourselves, you want money and shares." Now that Chang'an is spreading, my brother doesn't care, it's just that he and Zhihe's face is a little unbearable. β
Yuwen Wuji's words confirmed Yang Chong's guess, Yu Wenhua and his brothers really have channels in the Western Regions, and the news was learned so quickly, it is likely that the channel is Shi Shu Huxi. Yang Chong sighed and said: "Brother, the Yuwen family can't interfere in this business, you listen to your brother's persuasion, but after a year and a half, you will know the benefits." By the way, you can help me ask Uncle Yuwen if you have time to meet me recently. β
Yuwen Wuji is a smart person, nodded and said, "I'll go back and talk to my father-in-law to see how he decides." β
Yuwen left in a hurry before he could finish speaking, Kong Yingda walked to Yang Chong's side, and said softly: "Wang Bo and Meng Rang have brought some gifts, and I want to ask you for help if I have something." β
This was expected by Yang Chong, but Yang Chong knew his ability and asked cautiously, "They won't be some big people to meet, right?" β
Kong Yingda said steadily: "They want to catch the line of the Lanling Xiao family or Duan Wenzhen, and get acquainted with a big man in the court as a backer, even if it is the big man's family disciple, Meng Rang's family is also a famous family in Qi County." β
The famous family of Qi County, if Meng Rang takes the umbrella of the Xiao family or the Duan family, he will be able to go to the next level, and even eat the black and white of Qi County. Yang Chong glanced back at the two of them, secretly thinking that Wang Bo should have other purposes, he should want to ask for an official or something; According to historical records, Wang Bo was just an ordinary person before the rebellion, but seeing is believing, how could a student of the great Confucian Liu Xuan be willing to be an ordinary person.
Sure enough, when Yang Chong casually said Xiao Jian's name to the two, Meng Rang did not react, and Wang Bo said: "I have seen Xiao Jian when I traveled all over the world, he is the so-called most unsuccessful disciple of the Xiao family, he has no interest in reading since he was a child, but likes some crooked things, and when he became an adult, he helped in various shops of the Xiao family, because there is no backstage in the clan, and he has not achieved anything." β
Yang Chong interrupted Wang Bo and said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, this time Xiao Jian is family transferred him to Chang'an, presumably he has high hopes, Xiao Jian's experience will make him extremely sensitive to the world's sophistication, even if it is an old friend, Brother Wang must not have the idea of slacking off when he interacts with him." Although I don't know what you have to do with the Xiao family or the Duan family, I have an opinion that big things often start with small things, and you can't be in a hurry at the beginning, especially not to put too much pressure on the other party. β
Wang Bo smiled embarrassedly, Meng Rang was obviously very experienced, and agreed: "What Lord Yang said is extremely true, the so-called speed is not reached, and he must be willing to ask for help, otherwise he doesn't know where something will go wrong." β
The gift brought by the two was a Zishi inkstone from Boshan, a crimson inkstone, and a frozen inkstone, which Yang Chong liked very much; Hearing that Yang Chong promised that Xiao Jian would arrange it after he arrived, Wang Meng and the two got up to say goodbye. After the two left, Kong Yingda asked: "Yang Chong, do you see anything, I see that your enthusiasm for Wang Bo and the others is a little abnormal." β
Yang Chong knew that Wang Bo and Meng Rang had great ambitions, but there were some things that he couldn't say, so he had to say that he saw a future for the two. Kong Yingda breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm afraid that you are going to introduce the two to Yuwenshu, Yuwenshu is a Guanlong nobleman, who is opposed to the Shandong Shi clan, and is not a suitable candidate for Wang Bo Mengrang, and Liu Xuan will not agree." By the way, today I brought a set of "Mozi", which is a version of Jiazedian's collection, and I copied it for half a month. β
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty cherished the collection of books, in addition to the palace secret pavilion, there are two libraries in the Eastern Capital Guanwen Hall and Chang'an Jiaze Palace, both of which have hundreds of thousands of books; Yang Chong understood what Kong Yingda meant, and he had high hopes for himself, hoping that hundreds of academic schools would flourish, so he thanked him: "Brother Lao Kong, don't leave today, there is still some bean sauce in the kitchen, I will cook it myself, make a few dishes thank you." β
