Hangzhou is not far from Jiangning, and its prosperity is almost the same, of course, in terms of political status, Hangzhou is still a little weaker, and the market is really not bad.

Wang Ning's Yunji had entered Hangzhou more than half a year ago, and half a year later, it had a large scale here, and then took Hangzhou as the center and developed to nearby Fujian and Guangdong, as if a big net was spread.

There are many kinds of industries under the name of Yun Ji, as the cloth industry that started, it has not fallen, but has derived a lot of side businesses, from the production of silk to ready-to-wear has a very large-scale development, at the same time, at the request of Wang Ning, Yun Ji attaches great importance to the creation of the high-end market, so that Yun Ji's clothing has become a symbol of some status.

Based on this, many people have begun to imitate Yunji's model, and several lawsuits over copyright have been fought. After Yun Ji won, he also paid great attention to filing in the government, and under this premise, he was familiar with officials at all levels, and he really had a certain background.

On the other hand, Yunji also pays attention to the quality of its own products, and gradually creates its own brand.

The rest of the best development with the clothing industry is the restaurant, Yun Ji after the introduction of stir-fried dishes that only a few chefs in Bianjing mastered, a time of fame and quickly captured the entire market. Then he cooperated with various peers, promoted stir-fried food at the same time, and relied on his own strong network to quickly occupy the high-end market again, so for Wang Ning for more than half a year, he has been a very successful businessman.

When it comes to restaurants, Yun Ji has gradually developed a number of side businesses under his name, such as wine, ingredients for stir-frying, and a large number of things that have never appeared have been drummed out, it can be said that Yun Ji relies on such a strong "congenital" factor, and is now one of the top merchants in Jiangnan.

Yunji is developing rapidly, but also pays attention to regional protection, it is in this mode, Wang Ning has already begun to enter the account, and the previous situation of having no entry and exit will also be broken, coupled with more than half a year of training, those people under him basically know how to operate, and the future is bright.

When Xi Wen was sent to Hangzhou by Su Xiaoyan, he was still a little reluctant in his heart. Recently, it can be said that it is a kind of torture for him. His background is not good, and even the name Xi Wen only vaguely remembers that he is an orphan, and thanks to the Su family's relief, he was able to grow up and have today's achievements. He was grateful to the Su family from the bottom of his heart, and in addition, he also had other thoughts. It's just that this kind of thinking is not good for outsiders, and even because of the so-called gateway view, he was ashamed to do that kind of thought.

Then, as I grew up, some of my thoughts became solid.

He grew up with Su Xiaoyan, and watched Su Xiaoyan step by step into the position of the head of the Su family, he can be said to have witnessed everything about Su Xiaoyan. In this process, he also did things with his heart, regarded himself as the Su family, and worked hard to do things.

However, Su Xiaoyan didn't notice him in the end, or said that he was only to the extent of "brother", indeed, Su Yuan did mention adopting him back then, but then he thought about it, he was an outsider.

He went from a dying orphan to the position of the Su family's treasurer, which was not enough for the other party to accept, and even now, he was "excluded" from the center and went to Hangzhou. In fact, the business of the Su family in Hangzhou has reached a desperate situation.

In front of him, it is also a desperate situation.

I still remember that Xue Lin told him before leaving, and then shook his head and suppressed it for the time being.

The Spring Festival Gala Building, a five-storey building, stands on the edge of the West Lake, under the background of green mountains and green waters, it looks elegant and full of ancient charm.

This building is newly built, most of the people who come and go are also people with some status in Hangzhou, ordinary people are probably not happy to enter the door, most of them choose not far away to name "Spring Festival Gala", "Plug Spring Festival Gala" small restaurant, fantasize about the real Spring Festival Gala in the building that sounds drooling.

As for the Spring Festival Gala Building, in fact, it does not refuse the so-called flat-headed people, as long as they can afford to pay money, those who come will not refuse, of course, if you come here, you have to follow the rules of others, otherwise you will be beaten.

Because of its unique geographical location and elegant atmosphere, it has also attracted a large number of literati talents, among whom it is impossible to see how talented they are. These people also like to do some vassal and elegant things, such as writing a poem to pay for food, of course, at this time, they often have to be invited out by the shopkeeper.

Based on this, the reputation of the Spring Festival Gala Building is also a little bad, but the poets of the Hangzhou Zhizhou Lord are still looked down upon, and these people are gradually suppressed when they are angry, not to mention that the reputation of the Spring Festival Gala Building is there, and it seems that the people who can feast guests here are the people who have some skills, and no one cares too much.

When Wang Ning came to Hangzhou, the first place he stopped was this Spring Festival Gala Building, he was dressed normally, which was obviously incommensurate with his identity.

I found a place to sit on the first floor at will, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table in front of me, and swallowed unhurriedly, opposite him, it was Lu Rong, who had been in Hangzhou for a few days, and now Lu Rong, one of the several big shopkeepers of Yunji, next to Lu Rong was the shopkeeper of the Spring Festival Gala Building, as for the big shopkeeper in charge of Hangzhou's business, he probably had something to do and did not come over.

Wang Ning listened to Lu Rong's words, smiled, and didn't care: "Originally, the date was set, but now that October is divided, there are still a lot of things that have not been dealt with here, and I probably can't go back."

The day mentioned here is the day when he and Su Xiaoyan got married, and the day of the next hire has long passed.

Lu Rong frowned, and said, "Owner, I think I should go back now, choose a date, and send the dowry over first?"

The movement on Wang Ning's hand paused, and Lu Rong looked frightened and fell into his eyes, but he seemed to be making a little fuss, probably trying to make fun of it, he also twisted his eyebrows, and sighed: "I originally asked you to watch over there, but you are good, and you ran over."

Lu Rong's face changed slightly, his expression darkened, and he seemed to agree with Wang Ning's words: "What the owner said is true."

Wang Ning raised his hand and signaled, the shopkeeper waiting next to him retreated, he looked at Lu Rong, smacked his lips and said, "Don't worry, I understand her character, at this time, the kind of thing you said will not happen."

"What's more, Yun Ji's actual authority is in the hands of a few of your big treasurers, what she really wants to do, she can't get around you."

Lu Rong's expression was slightly condensed, probably thinking that Wang Ning's words were a warning to them, so he said solemnly: "What the owner said is, I know."

Although Wang Ning felt that his expression was a little weird, he didn't think much about it, nodded, and then asked, "You have been here for a few days, have you gained anything?"

Lu Rong thought for a while: "Yunji's business is very stable, and the previous lawsuits have been resolved, but there are some troubles when purchasing silk...... It seems that someone has intervened. ”

Wang Ning sighed, and then said: "These things will be released first, and the grain matter will be implemented as soon as possible."

Lu Rong nodded in response.

Wang Ning nodded with satisfaction and said, "Give me a table of delicious food, I'm really tired from walking around during this time, and I haven't eaten a good meal."

Lu Rong smiled, although he didn't know what Wang Ning had been doing these days, but when he saw Wang Ning at first glance, he could see fatigue on the other party's face, which he had never seen before.

Immediately got up and went to the counter to talk to the shopkeeper, and then the dignified Yunji shopkeeper followed him to the back kitchen to get busy.

In October, the north is already the season of ice and snow, Jiangning, Hangzhou and other southern places, the weather has also changed significantly, blowing a cold wind, and even a few days ago there was a light snow, probably because God took pity on the world, and could not see the dry bones on the roadside, so a snow fell to cover it. tower

Although the south is not as good as the north, some things can be seen in the refugees who have gone south recently, and most of the things that the imperial court has done in the north have been transmitted to the south through such and such channels, so they can more or less understand some of the pitiful places over there, and then from the mouths of those refugees, these things have become more and more real.

Perhaps it is fortunate that the pity shown by the southerners at this time is quite sincere, and they still have feelings for these compatriots from the north.

In the north, although Beirong made a contract with the new dynasty, but every autumn and winter, the grass sea in the north withered, and Beirong also had to eat, so the raids in the south also occurred frequently, although limited to a certain "small" scale, it was also a disaster for the north. Similar to Hejian, the Daimyo's Mansion, which was at the forefront of the fight against Beirong, was even more tragic to the point of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the so-called "national letters" sent by the new dynasty to Beirong were ineffective in nature.

So the people in these places came to the south, and when they reached the Huaibei line, they were blocked by the Yellow River, which burst its embankment and flooded, and basically there was no way to survive.

Even Bianjing, as the capital, is not having a good time, because the emperor in the palace, who has been on the throne for only a year, is more and more desolate, and some rumors are gradually unable to suppress.

Wang Ning didn't know about these yet, at this time, he was carefully enjoying the comfort in front of him, and this kind of life was not what he really wanted to live. After running for more than ten days, the food promised to Sun Heng had been almost scraped together, but he stopped for a while.

On the top floor of the Spring Festival Gala Building, Wang Ning sat in front of the window, looking out of the window, the scenery of the West Lake was in full view, the white embankment in the Tang Dynasty, and the Su Causeway built when Su Gong was the governor of Hangzhou in this dynasty, are all surrounded by green willows, although at this time it is actually just a withered strip dancing in the wind.

Sailing on the lake, there is no special scenery at this time, but it is also pleasant to see.

Later in the evening, Chen Yuying, the big shopkeeper of Hangzhou, came here to meet him, and Lu Rong also rushed over later.

Chen Yuying is less than forty years old, she looks very capable, her face is slightly dark, I don't know if her skin color is like this, or because she is a little unhappy about something.

His gaze is also a little cold, and even a little fierce, no matter how you look at such a complexion, he is not an approachable character, but I don't know how he climbed to the position of the big shopkeeper in Hangzhou.

When Wang Ning met, he also opened his mouth from his face: "I told you to be kinder, what should I do if I scare away the guests?"

Having already sat down while speaking, Chen Yuying did not laugh out loud because of Wang Ning's joke, in fact, in his opinion, this was a clumsy joke at all, not funny at all.

"The proprietor should be more serious, without authority, how can he control it?"

Wang Ning snorted, did not continue the topic, knowing that the guy in front of him was straight, and he had no intention of beating around the bush at the moment, so he went straight to the point and said, "How is the matter that asked you to investigate?"

Chen Yuying's brows froze, revealing a bit of fierceness: "It's been found out."

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "It was the pirates along the coast who did it."

"Pirates? Shouldn't it be at sea? How did they run to the shore? ”

"Heh, since those people are going to attack us, they naturally want to contact the real murderer, and in the vicinity of Hangzhou, naturally they can't find this kind of person, and they are easy to be found by the government afterwards...... As for those pirates, after doing this vote, when they return to the sea, not to mention us, even the imperial court has no way to take them. ”

Wang Ning listened to Chen Yuying's words for a while, looked at the other party's angry appearance, and smiled: "Then what are you going to do?"

Lu Rong next to him also looked at Chen Yuying at this time. He knew that the two of them were talking about the robbery of the goods they transported to Fujian before, which directly led to the loss of nearly 100,000 yuan.

Chen Yuying said: "Didn't I come to ask the owner?"

Wang Ning didn't expect such an answer, it can be seen that Chen Yuying has no proper and feasible way to do this.

Indeed, although pirates are at sea, they also go down from land in the end, and I really can't think of a good way for a while. As for the several sailor battalions relying on the government, eighty percent will not work, otherwise it would not have been so rampant for so long. In addition, Fujian is still a more or less dangerous place, and blindly dealing with it will definitely suffer.

However, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount of money, nor is it his family's money, and he also believes that compared to the ferocity of the pirates, it is the Hangzhou merchants who have invested money in this matter that the big shopkeeper in front of him is even bigger.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Ning didn't have any good ideas, and said lightly: "Find a time to meet Zhizhou and probe the wind." As soon as the words fell, he shook his head and smacked his lips and said, "Forget it, eighty percent won't work, and in the recent situation, it is impossible for the imperial court to deal with pirates." ”

"Then we're not going to get back on the field?" Chen Yuying was a little angry.

Wang Ning said: "How about you take someone to fight?"

Chen Yuying was stunned for a moment: "The owner will allocate money to me now, and I will go to ship ships and go to sea."

"Huh...... How dare you say it? Although 100,000 guan is not a small amount of money, but the money to build a big ship is more than 100,000 guan......" Speaking of this, Wang Ning's eyes rolled around, and then he laughed, looked at the two people opposite happily, and asked: "Anyway, have you ever thought about what is on the other side of the sea?"

Lu Rong and Chen Yuying's bodies were shocked, and they looked a little dazed.

Wang Ning said again: "Maybe it's like us."

"What does the owner mean?"

"I mean, it's not impossible to really build a ship...... In fact, the chaos in the north is like that, I really don't have the confidence to think about what the world will eventually become. At that time, going to sea may be a way to live. ”

The two on the other side looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree or refute.

Chen Yuying came back to her senses and asked, "So do we do it or not?"

The three of you, look at me, I'll look at you, and finally decided-

Try it first.
