"Business?" The young man smiled, as if he had encountered something very ridiculous, and said, "If you are talking about business, it depends on what you can offer to impress me." ”

There is a door! Zhu Junyi rubbed his hands, knowing that now he wanted to come up with some real materials, as long as the other party felt that it was profitable, this business would be discussed, and asked rhetorically: "What do you think is the best thing to sell in Batavia?" ”

In his opinion, Zhu Junyi lived in a plantation and a sugar mill in the Chinese labor area, and the only thing he could get his hands on was sugar bricks, only when he wanted to sell the sugar bricks in the Gandaria sugar factory, at this time, the sugar trade in Europe was affected by the sugar produced in the Americas, and the market was saturated, and the Dutch East India Company no longer bought a large number of them as before, and sales were blocked, and all local plantations and sugar mills were affected to varying degrees, and even some plantation owners were bankrupt. There are also desperate suicides, this is a fact that all businessmen in Bacheng have to see, in this case, to do business, I am afraid that the master is regarded as a sheep, this kind of want to eat for nothing and want to sell well, the master is not happy, and then raised his eyes to see the master.

The young man just laughed, but did not answer.

In fact, they all thought of Zhu Junyi simply, and Zhu Junyi saw that the burden was not sold, so he simply revealed the answer: "Wine!" In Batavia, only wine is the best thing to sell! Those foreigners like to drink the most, and Batavia is most lacking in foreign sailors and merchant ships, and the natives of the archipelago also like to drink, not to mention us Chinese, who like to drink a few glasses. So, if we cooperate, I will be in charge of making sake, and you will be in charge of sales, are you afraid that we will not make a lot of money? ”

"You know how to make sake?" Steward Wang laughed, he obviously thought that Zhu Junyi was whimsical, and the person in front of him, no matter how smart he was, was still a child after all.

The young man apparently thought the same way, and he asked, "Who did you learn the art of sake brewing?" Is it the people of this sugar factory? ”

Zhu Junyi said: "No, I read it from the book." ”

The young man smiled wryly, obviously not believing: "How many books can you read at such a young age?" Have you ever read "The Shadow of the Dragon Whip", "Kindergarten Qionglin", "Poetic Compromise", and "The Book of Books and Illustrations"? ”

Zhu Junyi frowned, the books mentioned by the other party are all compulsory textbooks for Chinese children's enlightenment education, but in the memory he inherited, Brother Jun seems to have read "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", "Zengguang Xianwen", "Three Hundred Tang Poems", "Disciple Rules", and even the Four Books and Five Classics, which were rare among children of the same age at that time, but the books that the other party said had not been read, and they were obviously not old yet. But how can the knowledge in Zhu Junyi's mind be the only one in this enlightenment literature? If you can really pour this knowledge out of your head, I am afraid that the most famous people in the world will be dumbfounded. He shook his head and said, "Except for a few basic books, I haven't read those old books." However, I have read a lot of "Mengxi Writings", "Heavenly Creations", "Examination of Work", "New Ritual Law", "Building French Style" and so on, and I have also read "Geometric Original" and "Taixi Water Law". ”

When Zhu Junyi said the title of a book, the faces of the three people on the other side changed, and when he finished speaking, the three of them were already shocked.

Zhu Junyi secretly snickered, take "Longwen Whip Shadow" and "Kindergarten Qionglin" to make it difficult for me? In this time and space, Brother hasn't been shaken yet! He said with a little dissatisfaction: "Don't come to teach me, now it's about business, let's just talk about things!" ”

The young man was surprised and didn't know what to say, but he still said euphemistically: "In my opinion, it's better for you not to continue to fight this idea, the Taixiyi people are indeed good wine, but the wine they drink is very different from the wine of my Chinese, whether it is the raw materials or the method of making wine, there is a world of difference, whether it is white wine and rice wine made by my Chinese, it is not liked by the Taixiyi people, your idea is certainly reasonable, but the fact is so, I can't help it." Well, you might as well consider my proposal. ”

Zhu Junyi shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, thank you very much." We are not related, why are you helping me? Why should I accept it? I still think it's better to cooperate with each other if it's useless, I know that you are worried that the wine I make will not sell, so you can rest assured that the wine I make will definitely be liked by those Westerners in the city, because what I sell is the wine they like to drink the most and the natives of the archipelago and we Chinese are willing to accept. Zhu Junyi agitated like a clever tongue, this era is not like the later generations, you have any good ideas to find investors, as long as you can convince investors, nothing is a problem, there are few investors here who have vision and willingness. This is an opportunity for him to make a fortune, and he certainly won't give it up easily.

The young man's expression was a little complicated, he was a businessman, and the businessman would have the insistence of a businessman, he insisted: "The wine-making technique of the Taixiyi people requires a large number of grapes and rice, which are not produced locally in Bacheng, even if the quantity of Annan rice is large and the price is low, it is not worth the loss to buy back the wine by sea, even if you can make Taixi wine, it must be expensive, and the sales volume is not large......

Zhu Junyi thought of his little cost and the benefits he could obtain, and finally couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Who said I want to use grapes and rice?" ”

"Where does that raw material come from?" The young man was really curious now.

Zhu Junyi pretended to be mysterious and said: "This is a trade secret, I can't tell you now!" ”

"Trade secrets?" Steward Wang lost his voice, he watched from the side for a long time, and he became more and more unable to understand the little guy in front of him and his possible little master in the future.

The young man remained silent, pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you want?" ”

Hooked! Zhu Junyi was calm and relaxed, knowing that now it was time to talk about benefits, whether he could achieve this trembling, he did not hesitate to prescribe his own conditions: "I will provide equipment drawings, venues, raw materials and manpower, and you will provide equipment and yeast." All the liquor produced, we will set the price together, you will buy and underwrite, the total sales amount reaches 100,000 taels of silver, and you will send Pattaya Sugar Factory ...... Forehead...... Sell it to me! ”

The last request Zhu Junyi is not sure that the other party will be able to accept it, but when talking about business, he must ask the lion to open his mouth, ask for the price all over the sky, and sit on the ground to pay the money. And for the Pattaya Sugar Factory, he is indeed very ambitious, to do this business, raw materials are very important, he does not want to be controlled by others in this area in the future.

Steward Wang and Hu Hai also gasped when they heard this, and they both sighed in their hearts that this little doll's tone was really not small. After laughing, he squinted his eyes, looking appreciative and full of anticipation, and said very proudly: "If it can be done, how about sending it!" ”

Hearing these eight words, Zhu Junyi was overjoyed, and was about to strike while the iron was hot, and the two parties signed the contract amicably and cordially, but heard the young man say again: "But...... If you want me to come up with so much money at once, at least, you have to make some samples and try them with me, if you are satisfied, not to mention your little request, what is the difficulty of being bigger! ”

Zhu Junyi calculated the equipment and difficulty required to make some samples in his heart, and thought that although the conditions were poor, at least it could be done. So he raised his pink and white little hand and said loudly: "I answered!" ”

The young man looked at his movements in amazement, and it took him a long time to understand, and he stretched out his hand to give him three high-fives gently, and also promised: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”

Steward Wang and Hu Hai looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

I only heard Zhu Junyi say again: "Since we have become partners, then we must at least get to know each other, we can't keep you and you and me called it like this, how awkward it is!" I am a native of Guangzhou, the Qing Dynasty, surnamed Zhu, my mother probably wants me to be winged and stand tall in the world, so I was named Zhu Junyi, you can call me by my full name, my friends also call me 'Brother Jun'er', whatever you want, anyway, the name is used to call! What should I call you, big brother? ”

Steward Wang smiled awkwardly, and the young man had already frowned and shook his head: "You remember!" You and I can never be brothers. ”

Zhu Junyi was stunned when he heard this, he had been doing well just now, how could he change his face faster than turning a book? There was some displeasure on his face.

The young man thought about it again and said meaningfully, "I...... You will know my name and surname in the future, but at the moment, it is not convenient to tell me, so you will call me ...... Father! ”

"Afuba?" Zhu Junyi said curiously: "What is this name?" ”

Seeing that the master's brows were furrowed, Steward Wang was amused in his heart, and hurriedly came forward to explain: "It's called 'Father', and there is no 'right' in the back!" ”

"Ah Fu? Father? Zhu Junyi whispered a few times, the more he read it, the more he felt like he was taken advantage of, he has always been the master who will never suffer if he is taken advantage of, at this time he can't help but be angry, and said in a muffled voice: "Everyone works together to do business, why do you want to take advantage of me?" Ah Fu! - Father! Doesn't that make me call you daddy all day long? ”

The young man suddenly felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, and said with a pretended face: "At my age, can't I still be your father?" ”

Zhu Junyi's boss was reluctant, but for the sake of the upcoming gains, he endured it for the time being, he had to get it back sooner or later.

At this moment, someone in the distance shouted while running: "Little brother of the Zhu family! Brother Zhu family! ”

Zhu Junyi got up and took a look, it turned out to be a congregation working in the sugar mill, but he didn't know his name, and the person who came seemed to be running all the way, panting, with his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

Zhu Junyi guessed that the other party must have something urgent, and was afraid that some things would be inconvenient for outsiders to hear, so he hurriedly complained to the three of Steward Wang and greeted them.

As soon as he walked away, the young man looked at his back with a smile and said: "Lao Wang, after going back, let all the sugar cane plantations stop squeezing sugar, the profit of cane sugar is already too thin, we should look farther like this kid, and when the Gandalya Sugar Factory is changed to a distillery, I am afraid that others will follow suit, so we should make a decision as soon as possible." ”

It turned out that the young people had already guessed that Zhu Junyi wanted to use sugarcane to make wine, but he never said it, in fact, it was also very easy to guess that the sugar market was sluggish, and the profits of sugar extraction were getting lower and lower, and it was a pity that the sugarcane everywhere was not used. He is a typical businessman, he has always been clear, and by Zhu Junyi's idea, he saw the changes in the planting industry and sugar extraction industry in Bacheng in the future, so he made a decision as soon as possible.

"Yes! The old slave saved. Steward Wang whispered to the young man and said, "Young master! If you want to say that he is not the blood of the Zhu family, the old slave will not believe it when he is killed, just because of this shrewd business acumen, the old slave dares to assert that the young master's long-lost child must be him! Now, the name, age, and origin are all matched, and there is a jade pendant as a basis, what else do the master and young master have to worry about! ”

Zhu Dayou looked at Zhu Junyi's back and nodded comfortingly, Zhu Junyi's performance was really breathtaking, which not only made him overjoyed, but also made him dumbfounded, which not only made his heart cut like a knife, but also made him feel guilty. Why doesn't he want his son to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors as soon as possible? It's just that he can't help but investigate it cautiously now, because what Zhu Junyi did in the third room before was really shocking, the earth-shattering scene in the third room was what Old Man Zhu saw with his own eyes, and the conclusion drawn from the comprehensive eyeliner information of all parties made him and Old Man Zhu feel uneasy, everything is directly related to this child, how can he not let his father and son be cautious?

"After all...... I'm not just going to get my baby back, it's ...... The future of the Zhu family! Zhu Dayou said with a sigh.

Steward Wang nodded, he could understand the worries of the young master and the old master, now there is only this single seedling left in the line of the Changfang Sect, which is related to the future position of the head of the Zhu family, and even more related to the future survival of the Zhu family, and he always sees the worries of the old man and the young master Zhu in his eyes.

Steward Wang lowered his head and comforted with a chuckle: "In the past few days, the young master has personally observed, his conduct and mood, speech and demeanor, you have already known in your heart, this child is golden and jade, different customs, although it looks cunning and tricky on the surface, but it is also open-minded temperament, just look at him for a female slave girl who met in Pingshui, a horned brother can make a desperate bet, painstakingly repay the hatred, this two-ribbed knife courage ambition, the old slave is heartbroken!" You just lured you with a bonus, and this kid still doesn't want to ask for it! Hehe...... it's the first time for the old slave to see him as a stubborn child, he would rather earn himself than take a penny from others, this backbone alone is really rare! ”

Zhu Dayou shook his head and smiled: "The head of the family, how can he be sharp and angry? That's the work of a reckless man who is enough to exterminate the race! This child still needs to be tempered, and it is best to have the guidance of a famous teacher, and it is best to learn from the mean, and to be a good family. ”

Steward Wang saw that the young master was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to quip: "If it is according to the young master's judgment, such a person is afraid that you will say that you are mediocre and mediocre, and you will not like it!" According to the old slave, the young master might as well disclose his identity directly, let's welcome Young Master Sun back to the fortress, inherit the incense as soon as possible, our Zhu family can be regarded as a successor! ”

Oh, yes! There is a successor! Steward Wang's words were listened to word for word in Zhu Dayou's heart, but Zhu Junyi's words of "negative man" just now are still in his ears, can he really find this son so simply? Zhu Dayou has always acted like a thunderstorm and made a decisive decision, never dragging mud and water, but now at this moment, Zhu Dayou hesitated......

"Good thing!" Zhu Junyi ran back happily and said with a slight smug smile: "The workshop of the sugar mill has just been completely restored, it was built according to the method I provided, and now it is completed, so I will be asked to inspect it." ”

Zhu Dayou was taken aback and asked, "Aren't you going to use sugarcane to make wine and change the sugar mill to a distillery?" Why are you repairing the sugar mill again? He only said that Zhu Junyi made wine from sugarcane, so he had to choose the best sugarcane, and he must have saved the idea of changing the sugar factory to a distillery.

Zhu Junyi pretended to ask rhetorically: "Who said that I want to use big sugarcane to make wine?" "I've already smiled in my heart, don't guess my brother's thoughts, don't guess! You can't guess it......
