Chapter 105: Qian Zhuang
There is a change in the second half of the night, asking for a recommendation ticket
Stepping into the gate of the Qin Mansion, Chen Zhongqing vaguely smelled the smell of decoction, the bitterness of the herb and the smoke of dry firewood were mixed together, which was a little choking. He touched his nose www.biquge.info confirmed that he had not smelled it wrong before he said to Qin Danqing in front of him, "Is anyone in the house sick?" ”
Qin Danqing walked in the front, and when he heard the question of the person behind him, his expression was slightly unnatural, but he concealed it very well, just a flash, sighed, and looked at the bricks and tiles in the courtyard patio.
"My father occasionally had a cold wind and a headache. The doctor instructed to decoction a few packets of medicine, as long as you take it on time for a few days, you will be cured. ”
Chen Zhongqing nodded undeniably, he could hear that Qin Danqing's tone was not quite right, but he didn't investigate it carefully, after all, this was someone's private matter, and it was inconvenient for an outsider to interfere. Following the other party's steps, he turned a corner in the corridor and came to the small room where he had consulted last time.
Qin Danqing waved his hand at the slave in front of the door, and the other party nodded back consciously. His two fingers lightly knocked on the door twice, and he lowered his voice, "Dad, Zhongqing is here." ”
A slightly hoarse voice came from the room, and he whispered, "Ahem, let Zhongqing Gongzi come in." ”
The closed door was opened, and Qin Zhengxi was sitting on the edge of the desk, holding a cane in both hands, staring at the young man who came in with tired eyes. When he stood up, he was even a little shaky, like a thin ancient pine that had lost its roots, with the loneliness of the waning mountains. The old man leaned on crutches, walked slowly in front of Chen Zhongqing step by step, coughed a few times, and said with a tired voice, "There is Lao Zhongqing's son running over from afar." ”
From this moment, Chen Zhongqing could feel that Qin Zhengxi was not just an accidental cold, there should be other secrets behind it, but he didn't notice it. However, the Qin family's business was in good order, and as long as it did not hinder their business dealings, they could ignore it.
"The head of the Qin family invited me over today, presumably it wasn't an interesting and elegant chat, right? Could it be that you are here for the business of Jiangnan North Road? ”
"Hmm."
Qin Zhengxi nodded, his tone was a little dignified, "Jiangnan Road is not guaranteed by drought and flood, and now there are a large number of hungry and homeless people, and it seems that they have been pouring over on the side of Liangzhejiang Road, although the silk business over there The Qin family can take advantage of the fire to rob the whole thing, but I am afraid that there will not be any improvement in this year." Hey, Qin knows the good intentions of his son, but this kind of thing is inevitable......"
Although the talk is vague, the central idea revealed by Qin Zhengxi can still be quickly understood, the Qin family's money has been sprinkled, and all the silk and cloth business will not be able to return to the capital in a short period of time, and the business will probably improve after the summer and autumn at the earliest.
Chen Zhongqing nodded, the Qin family is now too big and too open, and it has become the largest cloth merchant almost overnight, and with it, funds are also stretched. Looking at the infinite scenery of the Qin family, in fact, there is not much liquid capital anymore. According to the head of the Qin family, the capital and profits can only be recovered in the autumn and winter. At this time, if they want to come up with a huge sum of money, they can only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.
However, it is the first time he has heard of the drought and flood on Jiangnan North Road, and it is not a one-way disaster to happen at this juncture, and I don't know if it will become an increasingly violent twist and turn. After all, Song Guanzi is sitting in Jiangnan, and it is not surprising to him what will happen.
The homeless and hungry people have come to the time when the government should have a headache again.
However, at this time, he was not concerned about the situation on Jiangbei Road, but about his own interests and allies, the Qin family. Since he couldn't get back to his original cost for a while, Chen Zhongqing simply pointed out another way to relieve the current pressure on the Qin family.
"Then did the head of the Qin family think about going to Bianliang to develop business?"
Chen Zhongqing asked for no reason, his tone was sparse and ordinary, and his expression was just like mentioning the trivial matter of eating and drinking. However, when he spoke, Qin Zhengxi heard a certain sense of temptation.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Zhengxi also asked tentatively, "Do you want to do a cloth business in Bianliang, where the market is complicated?" Although the Qin family has expanded in Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan North Road, it has no extra energy to develop in the direction of Bianliang, not to mention that Bianliang has been prosperous for so many years, and has already formed a stable sphere of influence. ”
Qin Zhengxi, who was cautious in his words and deeds, subtly hinted to the other party that the Qin family didn't want to take too big a step now, otherwise it would be easy to be happy and sad. He just wants to run Jiangnan steadily, not to share too much money to take care of himself.
Chen Zhongqing further reminded the other party, after all, no one in the Southern Jin Dynasty had done this so far, and once it succeeded, Qin Zhengxi would become the first person to eat crabs.
"No, once there has never been a business, I think the profits brought by this business to the Qin family will definitely not be worse than your cloth. The Qin family's cloth business may not make as much money in a year as it makes in this industry. The head of the Qin family has to think about it, after all, there is only one chance, and if you miss it, there will be no more. ”
In the era of salt and iron bureaucracy, he could not think of any more lucrative industry than these two.
However, what Chen Zhongqing said next made Qin Zhengxi's face more and more solemn.
Chen Zhongqing said calmly, "Now the government of Bianliang buys money to make transactions. We can operate the exchange of coins, store silver taels and loans, provide the convenience of issuing posts and withdrawals, and the original exchange notes in the two places have also become a credit circulation tool with the nature of banknotes. What's more, this money can generate a lot of money for you to support your shop. But by that time, a cloth shop could no longer satisfy the appetite. ”
Qin Zhengxi said bluntly, "Now the Qin family has no money. ”
"Could it be that the Qin family master is afraid that with your credibility, you will not be able to raise a huge amount of money? Coupled with the Chen family's guarantee in Bianliang, are you still worried that the Qin family is not capable of starting this business? The Qin family just didn't dare to take this step, once they stepped out, glory and wealth beckoned. ”
Qin Zhengxi was vaguely aware of what Chen Gongzi was saying, like a wisp of thoughts that he couldn't grasp, with some clues, but still in the clouds.
"What the hell is this industry?"
Qin Zhengxi stepped forward and walked a few steps, standing in front of Chen Zhongqing, praying for that answer.
The young man in front of him seemed to bring him a different surprise every time they met. Operate the exchange of coins, store silver taels in exchange for silver tickets as vouchers for exchange.
These are unheard-of means.
Chen Zhongqing stared at the Qin family master in front of him and said slowly, "It's Qian Zhuang." ”
