PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!
Xuan Yuemeng and Waitabu laughed.
If you don't look at people, it's nothing, but a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties and a child less than a year old laughed at each other.
Li Hongzao stood up, "Both of you, have you finished talking?" The old man is a little tired, so sit down. ”
Waitabu and Rong Lu hurriedly got up to send it off, and were persuaded by Li Hongzao, "You talk about you, I'm old and can't sit for a long time, I'll go to the event, you can sit." ”
Xuan Yuemeng knew that Li Hongzao didn't want to have more contact with these two people, so he glanced at Li Hongzao gratefully, if there was no old man for today's matter, it would be impossible to negotiate, and he still knew this.
Through this matter, Xuan Yuemeng also understands a very simple truth, when encountering things, you have to think about who can help, not if there is a benefit, people are willing to help, the first condition is that it will not bring any bad influence to others, Li Hongzao plays such a role in this matter, no matter whether his own things succeed or fail, it will not have much impact on Li Hongzao, Li Hongzao is willing to be a favor that pushes the boat along the river.
Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Zonglu, Waitabu, Rong Lu, and the four of them also relaxed a lot after Li Hongzao left, and now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, which is different from the situation just now.
Waittab also wanted to ask Xuan Yuemeng what he was going to do again, Xuan Yuemeng smiled perfunctorily, just to reassure Waitab, Waittab and Rong Lu gossiped a few more words, seeing that Xuan Yuemeng's tone was so tight, he knew that he couldn't ask anything. had to say goodbye and leave, the two of them beat the drum in their hearts, they were not optimistic about this matter, and they still couldn't relax in their hearts.
After Waitab and Rong Lu left, Xuan Zonglu also chased after Xuan Yuemeng and asked what he planned to do. Xuan Yuemeng also smiled and didn't answer.
It's not that Xuan Yuemeng's tone is tight, Xuan Yuemeng is indeed hairy!
Xuan Zonglu secretly sulked, blaming Xuan Yuemeng for even hiding herself, this is wronging Xuan Yuemeng.
Xuan Yuemeng asked Dali to hurry up and prepare the car, after having the contract, he wanted to go back to Tianjin immediately to get some of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, he didn't tell Xuan Zonglu what he was going to do, only said that there were some things to do, let Xuan Zonglu wait for him in Li Mansion now.
Xuan Zonglu had no choice. I am used to Xuan Yuemeng's secret style of doing things, and I only feel that I am just a chess piece of Xuan Yuemeng, but I am not very angry.
Xuan Dali: "Young master, the old man seems to be unhappy, why don't you tell him that we are going back to Tianjin?" By the way, send the old man back first. ”
Xuan Yuemeng: "It's still useful for him to stay here, after all, he is familiar with officialdom, and I have a lot to learn from him." Don't tell him, we're going back to Tianjin. I don't want him to break his heart one more time, and you know how much he values money? If he knew that we were going to sell antiques and speculate on antiques, wouldn't it make him feel uncomfortable for a while? When we bring all the antique calligraphy and paintings, he will be uncomfortable for a while, and the time will be much shorter. ”
Xuan Dali saw that the young master was thoughtful. nodded, "Young Master, I'm also very scared in my heart, I hope this time I must succeed." ”
Xuan Yuemeng didn't speak, where in this world can there be something that can be successful?
Xuan Yuemeng returned to Tianjin. Find an antique dealer and value his antique calligraphy and paintings separately, it is less than two million taels, and the total value is about 1.3 million taels, Xuan Yuemeng knows that the antique dealer's valuation is a wholesale price, which is the actual price, and it really has to be sold, at least fifty percent more, and the price that Xuan Zonglu bought is the market price, so the difference between the two is so big!
Xuan Yuemeng registered the price of all the antique calligraphy and paintings, picked out half of them, and picked out half of them after he asked the antique dealers, which were suitable for tribute to the palace, and then let people take the other half to Shanghai to sell! Not in a hurry to cash out, let people sell at a slightly higher market price, he set a transaction price for everything, it will not be too high!
Xuan Yuemeng did all this in Tianjin, and then hurried back to Beijing, he came and went in a hurry, but he simply ran into Timothy Li, and did not know how to go to Dashu Hutong. Of course, Xuan Yuemeng didn't let Timothy Li know other things, what Xuan Yuemeng wants to do, are divided into several parts, people who need to know know, the less the better, unrelated people, even if they are close, he doesn't think he needs to tell, or he feels that even if he tells, there is no practical meaning, he will be able to keep his mouth shut, these ways of doing things, all benefit from his experience in modern work, foreign companies pay attention to discipline and steps, Xuan Yuemeng also likes to do things.
Xuan Yuemeng ran around like this, making her heart feel distressed, "Young master, you are too tired, you are still young." ”
Xuan Yuemeng relied on her strength, sat in the carriage, and smiled, "It's okay, I'm not particularly tired, and it's worth it to be tired, but I'm afraid of working in vain!" ”
Dali is the person who has participated in all the things of Young Master Meng, of course he knows that it is powerful, the foreign bank over there is going to collapse, and now he has put in this antique calligraphy and painting worth millions of dollars! Dali is also very worried, and at the same time deeply admires the young master, feeling that the young master is omnipotent, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he is not impatient or impatient, which left a deep impression on Xuan Dali, and the young master Meng is almost a myth in Dali's heart.
Xuan vigorously regarded Young Master Meng as a myth, and Young Master Meng himself was worried about losing a lot of weight, this matter was too big, he couldn't afford to lose!
When Xuan Yuemeng returned to Beijing, Xuan Zonglu knew that Xuan Yuemeng was going to get antique calligraphy and paintings! Since Xuan Yuemeng had contracted to help Liangguang pay tribute, of course he had to do it to the end, he felt that Xuan Zonglu needed to do this, so he informed the old man.
Xuan Zonglu was distressed, "Take half of it?" And what about the other half? ”
Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile, "Let people take it to Shanghai and sell it slowly, and they must sell it at a good price." ”
Xuan Zonglu said regretfully: "Those are all given to me by others over the years, and many of them are treasures!" Isn't it good to keep it? ”
Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile: "The antiques of the prosperous times, the gold of the troubled times, it is better to turn them into gold, and the appreciation will be faster!" Don't be reluctant, I promise you, wait until this is over. I'll give you back two million taels of silver, you should be happy now, right? ”
Xuan Zonglu was overjoyed, and his two old eyes were almost glowing with golden light! "Really?"
Xuan Yuemeng covered her mouth and smiled, and pointed at Xuan Zonglu, "Of course it's true, you said it was given to me a few days ago." As soon as I heard that I returned it to you, I was happy to see you, I was also desperate, and I burned me to death last time! ”
Xuan Zonglu hugged Xuan Yuemeng: "You are risking the lives of a large family to gamble on whether you can win the family's money, as far as you can do this kind of thing, your second uncle is not as good as your ghost." ”
A little bad? Xuan Yuemeng sweated, "But I have one thing to say, since the money has already arrived in my hands." I will give it to you, and I can't give it to you in cash, after the New Year, when the investment in the US concession goes smoothly, there must be a bank coming, and I will help you open a fixed account in the US concession, and when the time comes, we will share this money. I can take the money alone, but I don't usually take it from you. If you want to use it, I will also greet you, but you need to use the money, you need to get it with me! What do you think? ”
Xuan Zonglu was completely speechless, "Okay, okay." It's all up to you, aren't you just afraid that I will give you your second uncle again? As long as grandpa knows that the money is in place, grandpa will be happy. People are small and big, and there are really a lot of ghosts. ”
Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "You are this age, if you live a long time." I can live for thirty or forty years, and if I die soon, it's not impossible, and if you suddenly become like Uren one day, what will happen to my money? ”
Xuan Zonglu sweated profusely, is this still something that people want to come up with, and lightly nodded on Xuan Yuemeng's brain. "Did you say that about your grandfather?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "It's not rough, I will die at any time." ”
Xuan Yuemeng thought that before coming to Beijing, she had made a will, and her heart was also sad, although things have a little eyebrows, but they are still from the final success, and they still need hard work and luck!
Xuan Zonglu's official career in the past few decades is indeed not in vain, and the matter of contracting the tribute of the two Guangzhous, Xuan Zonglu is very beautiful, and it may even be even more beautiful than Waitabu himself.
Xuan Zonglu let Xuan Yuemeng beat Li Lianying first! Since An Dehai's death last year, it was this little plum who served the Empress Dowager Cixi in the palace.
It's not that Xuan Yuemeng doesn't know how to deal with it, but this information is not as specific as Xuan Zonglu, and the steps of doing things also need to follow Xuan Zonglu! If you want to see Li Lianying, it's not that you can see it, it's not a random dot, it's very knowledgeable, in short, Xuan Yuemeng learned a lot from Xuan Zonglu's body, the silver is not enough, so she sold an antique cheaply first, got more than 10,000 taels of silver, and dotted up and down, and then met the legendary Li Lianying.
Li Lianying is a dark and thin person, except that she is taller than Yixun, she actually looks a little like Yixun, Xuan Yuemeng sweats profusely, doesn't she mean that she looks good? The two people look so close, why is one a eunuch and the other a prince?
At this time, Li Lianying was still very young, and she had just arrived at Cixi's side, but she could already see the temperament of the old man.
Li Lianying glanced at Xuan Zonglu: "You are the official in charge of paying tribute to the emperor's wedding in Liangguang?" Why did you bring a child to the palace, don't you know the rules? ”
Xuan Zonglu smiled and said: "If you go back to your lordship, this is my little grandson, I will bring him to see the world and get a touch of the nobility in this palace." ”
Li Lianying smiled lightly, "You have worked so hard to see me, what's the matter?" I'm very busy. ”
Xuan Zonglu directly took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels and stuffed it into Li Lianying's hand, "I know that the adults are busy, I will make a long story short, I just want to ask the adults for a word, if you want to come out on top in the tribute of the emperor's wedding, how much silver do you need?" ”
Li Lianying glanced at the silver ticket, immediately put on a smiling face, and quietly stuffed it into her cuffs, "The tributes from each family have almost been presented, and the most is only a hundred thousand taels of silver." ”
Xuan Zonglu nodded, "Then trouble your lord, I want to ask, how much is Lord Wenxiang's gift?" How much does Prince Gong give? ”
Li Lianying smiled slightly, "You really know how to do things, you Lord Ruilin are looking for you to do things is the right person, you are for Lord Ruilin's promotion to a scholar of Wenhua Palace, right?" ”
Xuan Zonglu smiled and nodded: "The adults are wise, and the villains are very admired." ”
Li Lianying said with a smile: "They picked it, thinking that it was the old man next to the Queen Mother, Prince Gong was less than 10,000 taels, and Wen Xiang was less than 20,000 taels." ”
Xuan Zonglu smiled and said, "Thank you Master Li for your advice, don't dare to bother again." ”
Xuan Yuemeng and Xuanzong revealed Li Lianying's official room, and the two of them were overjoyed, originally thinking that it would cost six or seven hundred thousand taels!
Xuan Zonglu: "The most in the governor's mansion is only 100,000 taels of silver, so we only need to spend 300,000 taels worth of antiques in the tribute of the emperor's wedding, and we can take the first place!" Prepare another gift worth 100,000 taels for the Empress Dowager Cixi, a gift of 20,000 taels for the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and a gift of 20,000 taels for Li Lianying, and then spend 50,000 taels to dot up and down, and you can do things successfully without 500,000 taels. ”
Xuan Yuemeng snorted, "Didn't you give Li Lianying 10,000 taels just now?" And give it to him? And give as much as the Queen Mother? Why is he? And for the Empress Dowager Ci'an, will it be much less than that of the Empress Dowager Cixi? ”
Although Xuan Yuemeng knew that Li Lianying was the close eunuch of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the weight was there, but she still thought that it was too heavy!
Xuanzong said with a calm face: "I want to save more than you, but some money can be saved, and some money can't be saved, we give the Empress Dowager Cixi more than the Empress Dowager Ci'an, the Empress Dowager Cixi will be more happy, this is the first, the second, you have to know who is in power, although the Empress Dowager Ci'an is above, but the will of the court, which one is not from the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi?" Third, why do you want to give it to Li Lianying? If we don't give Li Lianying anymore, this 10,000 taels will be considered a vain flower, he won't remember our benefits, and if we spend another 20,000 on him, after our gift is presented, if something happens temporarily, he will say hello to us, so that we will win in the gift giving ring. ”
Xuan Yuemeng nodded, understood what Xuan Zonglu meant, and said with a smile: "Jiang is still old and spicy, have you thought of it?" ”
Xuanzong appeared expressionless, sighed and said: "These more than 400,000 taels are spent, and it is estimated that they are still in vain!" ”
Xuan Yuemeng saw that Xuan Zonglu's interest was not high, and knew that he was distressed about money, "Then there are two or three hundred thousand taels worth of antiques left, let's put them in a big-name store in Beijing and sell them on consignment, it's not interesting to think too much now, since they have come to this point, they can only rely on luck." Moreover, I still have some killer features, but I just told you, not only will they not have any effect, but they will only increase your uneasiness. So, I won't tell you yet, you can wait in peace. ”
Xuan Zonglu sighed, what else could he say? That's all there is to it. Thinking of his little grandson playing so big, Xuan Zonglu's heart pinched, he was indeed old?
Xuan Yuemeng has a hairy killer feature, and when Xuan Zonglu finishes the matter of the tribute of Liangguang, he will be under the escort of Dali, Zhang Decheng, Wei Kuiheng and Wang Zhankui, Xuan Daniu and others, and play around in Beijing, eat delicious food, visit the flower and bird market, antique market, for Xuan Yuemeng, everything in this era, he thinks it is good, it is very cost-effective, and he can keep his mood calm every day.
There are several stages of the emperor's wedding, paying tribute, this is the early process, it is the ministers to pay tribute to the royal family, and it is also a stage for the ministers to take the opportunity to flatter, and it will be the emperor's wedding in a few months.
