Chapter 185: Confession
On this day, Yang Lin sat in the study, with a few thin booklets on the table, and a few sheets of paper folded with each other placed there, with faint patterns on them.
Qu Kun was also in the study, sitting on one side without being shocked, getting along for a period of time, after getting to know each other, he had long since lost the tension and unnaturalness at the beginning of the meeting, and was no longer afraid of Yang Lin, but still in awe.
"Ah Kun, do you remember what I told you last time? Let you find Li Lianying secretly and threaten him with an IOU. β
"Young master, of course I remember, how could I forget, it was only a few days later, and now I still clearly remember Li Lianying's appearance at that time, when I mentioned the IOU, the whole facial expression instantly collapsed, I wanted to cry without tears, and kept begging me to return the IOU to him, no matter what the conditions, I was willing to agree."
"Ah Kun, speaking of this matter, it is still your credit to be able to get an IOU, and you have a forward-looking vision, so as to hold Li Lianying hostage through the IOU, so that he will not dare to act rashly and obediently listen to our orders."
"The difference is that my plan is different from yours, and now it's time to tell you, what was my real intention, and why did I do it?"
Yang Lin didn't continue, but picked up the booklet and paper in front of him, handed it to Qu Kun, and said flatly: "Here, you take a look at these first, and then I will tell you and explain my intentions." β
Qu Kun then stood up, took the booklet, unfolded them one by one, and quickly browsed, except for the patterns, all of them were in vernacular, which was completely different from the way the ancients wrote about it, for Qu Kun, who was born as a pirate, there was no obstacle to reading, and it was easy to understand.
Qu Kun read quickly, roughly browsed, and when he saw the design pattern on the folded paper, he immediately fell into it, unable to extricate himself, attracted by the strange ideas inside, and completely obsessed.
"Okay, Ah Kun, don't look at it anymore, there will be time in the future, now I have three things for you to do, all of them are very eager, I hope that they can be solved in the shortest possible time, arrange it, don't make any mistakes, you must pay extra attention to the details."
Yang Lin's words were not light or heavy, he said so easily and naturally, just a faint soft call, but it was like a magic sound, so he woke up Qu Kun who was excited, pulled him back to reality, slowly closed the booklet and drawings, and said respectfully: "Young master, you said, despite the orders, the little one must do his best, take it seriously, and complete the task you assigned." β
"Qu Kun, what you say next must be kept strictly confidential, without my permission, you must not let a third party know, everything must be done in secret, and in two days I will send you additional people to assist you, all of them are capable people."
"Okay, young master, I will do my best to keep it secret, so that no one will find out, not even my father, as long as he doesn't have your permission, he won't tell him."
Qu Kun's performance, Yang Lin is very satisfied, so far, his execution is beyond doubt, Yang Lin's words sounded, slowly narrating.
"First, I want you to buy a courtyard house in Guangzhou Mansion, medium scale, as plain as possible, not attracting attention, and along with some houses around it, you also have to buy it, you don't have to buy them all, and then take the courtyard as the center, dig tunnels to connect other houses bought."
Although Qu Kun had no intention of disobeying, he was puzzled, wondering why the young master had bought so many houses, and had to go to such great lengths to dig tunnels so that the surrounding houses were directly connected to the central courtyard and connected to each other, what was this going to do?
seemed to see Qu Kun's thoughts and doubts, Yang Lin did not continue to say the following two items, but explained: "Ah Kun, our identity is very sensitive, it will inevitably attract the attention of people with a heart, once it is leaked and discovered, it will not only be in a dangerous situation, but also affect the people around you." β
"Therefore, in order to reduce the degree of danger and suspicion of others, and to facilitate our meeting, every conversation and meeting is in the courtyard, through different houses around it, so that the risk is greatly reduced."
"Even if we are discovered when we meet, we can escape through the underground secret passages that extend in all directions, and we will not be caught in order to be safe."
Qu Kun nodded suddenly, understood the intention, looked at Yang Lin with admiration, there was no longer a look of doubt on his face, and waited for the second and third articles, what the young master would let him do next.
"Second, this matter is the real intention of asking you to find Li Lianying a few days ago, not to simply threaten him to be obedient, but to pave the way for what to do next."
Yang Lin pursed his lips and pointed to the pamphlet paper in Qu Kun's hand: "According to the above plan description and layout pattern, you look for some houses, and then secretly meet Li Lianying, buy the house through his hands, and with the help of his name, we will secretly do business and earn a lot of money, so as to buy some materials, warships, and equipment thunder." β
"There is another layer of intention, which is to place the subordinates of the Deaf and Dumb Hall in these shops, to contact all kinds of characters as much as possible, obtain information, and increase the source of information of the Deaf and Dumb Hall, which is also the third thing I want you to do."
"Remember, the deed, title deed, account, etc. of each business shop must be firmly grasped in our hands, the control is ours, and Li Lianying is not allowed to touch and meddle in the business, only let him act as a faΓ§ade, a puppet."
"However, after the fact, we have to give him enough face, and every once in a while, we have to take out a sum of silver as a benefit fee for him and the governor, after all, what we really need is the governor's support, and there is such a backer on the surface."
Although he looked down on Li Lianying and didn't want to take out the silver, Qu Kun knew that what the young master said was right, so he had to do it.
Yang Lin's subsequent descriptions, and then reminiscent of the contents of the pamphlet and the novel design on the drawings, Qu Kun seemed to see the future scene, not only the business was booming, the money was rolling, but also greatly increased the channels of intelligence sources, so that the deaf and dumb hall made further development.
However, not long after being happy, Qu Kun calmed down, his face became embarrassed, and he had a feeling that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice: "Young master, this plan of yours is indeed good, very strategic, and has great feasibility, once it is implemented, it will greatly improve our strength, and both the Deaf and Dumb Hall and the Thunder can develop and grow rapidly." β
"However, there is a key issue in this plan that cannot be ignored and must be thought out in advance and resolved."
Qu Kun paused, looked at Yang Lin, and saw that the other party was waiting for him to continue: "Young Master, the problem that cannot be ignored is that this plan requires a lot of financial resources and reliable manpower, and it is completely subordinate to you, Young Master, and will not betray." However, based on the current situation, even if there is no problem with financial resources, there are not so many available manpower. β
Yang Lin smiled slightly, unmoved, and did not answer immediately, but opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of silver tickets, and put them on the desk.
"Ah Kun, this is a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets, as an initial purchase of shops and houses, decoration, once the shop is done, there will be money in place, there will be no delay, there will be no lack of funds."
"As for the matter of shop manpower, as long as you buy a good shop, come to me, I will give you enough manpower, the bookkeeper, the goods management personnel and the shopkeeper, have long been ready, rest assured, you just do it, this plan, I am not a whim, I have already planned it, after repeated arguments, everything is ready only to owe Dongfeng."
Although Yang Lin said that he was confident and very determined, Qu Kun's heart was not completely put down, after all, the young master's plan needed too many people, at least two or three hundred people, and Qu Kun was still a little uneasy about gathering so many talents at once.
Qu Kun thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it in doubt, but he had another substitution plan, if the young master couldn't find so many people for a while, he would go to his father and Mr. Zhuge and transfer some people from them to deal with it first.
Yang Lin explained again, and after the two discussed some details, they dispersed. However, as soon as Qu Kun left, Yang Lin smiled slightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared and disappeared in the study. (To be continued.) )
