Chapter 22 Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain
"Brother Wheat......" Fugui looked at Wang Mai reluctantly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Li Er has been gone for a long time, and all the generals feel that Wang Mai has made great contributions to the establishment of this new army, but now he has been kicked away, and as soon as everyone discussed, they asked Wang Fugui, who had the best relationship with him, to persuade Wang Mai to open a little.
"What for?" Wang Mai stretched his waist and turned his head to ask.
"That ......" Fugui wanted to say and stopped.
"You're a general now, how did you talk to your mother-in-law? What's wrong with Lao Tzu? Do you understand? I've had enough of this pig's nest, it's dirty, messy and noisy. Wang Mai said angrily.
"Are you alright?" Fugui asked with a glare.
"You want something to happen to me?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant......" Fugui quickly shook his head.
"Give!" Wang Mai picked up a booklet from the table and handed it to Fugui, "There are some regulations for preventing epidemics on it, I have just finished writing, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, we must pay attention to infectious diseases, don't let soldiers drink raw water......" chattered for a long time before finishing the explanation.
"Hey......" the rich chick nodded like pecking rice.
"Alright, that's all it takes, I'm leaving." Wang Mai hammered his rich and strong chest.
"Who's that...... Send the king back to the city! Fugui craned his neck and shouted out of the account. After speaking, two small soldiers ran in outside the account and helped Wang Mai out of the camp with his luggage.
After walking for half an hour before entering the city, he sent two soldiers to his house to put down his things, and Wang Mai rode all the way to Song Laosan's mansion. Now Song Laosan is amazing, as the main general who attacked the Luoyang Imperial City that day, he is deeply respected by the people of Luoyang, and the three words "Song Sanye" are a golden signboard, and there is an endless stream of people who talk about business with him, and they are busy from morning to night every day.
Hearing that Wang Mai was coming, Song Laosan hurriedly pushed the customers who came to the door clean, and these people heard that Wang Mai was coming, and they all expressed their understanding and said that they would come to visit another day.
"You have been in Luoyang for more than a month this time, and you are busy and no one is there, have you forgotten the third brother?" Song Laosan complained dissatisfied.
"Don't mention it...... Wang Mai said word for word about the experience during this time while blowing the heat on the teacup, "...... Working for someone else is like this, I can't help myself. ā
Song Laosan sighed after hearing this: "Since ancient times, it's not just a bird with a bow and a rabbit and a dead dog cooking, there's nothing to say." ā
"Isn't it rare for me to hang out with those Qiu Ba every day?" Wang Mai pursed his lips, "I'm here to do a big business with you this time." ā
Song Laosan was overjoyed when he heard the word "business": "Say, what kind of big business?" ā
"Pendulum clock." Wang Mai spat out two words.
"Really?" Song Laosan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he had been thinking about this pendulum clock for a long time, and now when he heard these two words from Wang Mai's mouth, he suddenly couldn't calm down. This is a good thing, a priceless treasure, with this pendulum clock production method, it will not be changed for a mountain of gold.
"What we want to do is a civilian pendulum clock, not the kind of big bell tower ......"
"Huh?" Song Laosan didn't understand for a while.
"It's a miniature version of the clock tower, and if you put it at home, you can even hang it on the wall...... Wang Mai explained.
"I see......"
"Li Er will set up a patent office after returning to Chang'an this time......" and told Song Laosan the authority of the patent office.
"You're saying we're patenting the pendulum clock?" Song Laosan instantly understood the truth.
"That's right! If you keep an eye on that patent office, there will be many ways to make money, and that is a cash cow...... "There are more powerful folk crafts, and once the patents are popularized, it is conceivable that there will be countless skills that will not be handed down, which is simply the gospel of the business community."
"You came up with this idea, right?" Song Laosan instantly guessed the initiator.
"That's right!" Wang Mai nodded, "Knowing the arrival of the news in advance than others is a great business opportunity." But don't rest on your laurels and develop your own research...... Skills, after all, as soon as these things are open to the world, the secret does not exist, remember what business I told you about the most profitable? ā
"Monopoly buying." Song Laosan said without thinking.
"That's right," Wang Mai nodded appreciatively, Lao Song not only has a hand in leading troops to fight, but also has a talent for business, "How to turn competition into a monopoly, this is the trick to whether you can make the business bigger, the most important thing is the innovation of technology." ā
Song Laosan didn't seem to understand when he heard it, but he chose to believe Wang Mai unconditionally: "Understood...... This time, I happened to go with the army to receive the reward, and I happened to go to the patent office to get the patent for the pendulum clock. Do you want to move our business to Chang'an? ā
"No, no, no......" Wang Mai hurriedly shook his head, "Guanzhong has no potential, the economic center of gravity is still in Luoyang, you should set your sights on Jiangnan." ā
"Jiangnan?" Song Laosan was puzzled for a while, "It's still Xiao Miao's territory now, this ......"
"There is a good saying, those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a time, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Now that the north has been largely pacified, can Liang State block the Tang Army's attack? "After all, Song Laosan has been in business for a short time, and he has no strategic vision, so he has to be reminded when he is reminded.
"Yes!" Song Laosan slapped his thigh, "The Grand Canal in the Eastern Capital can lead directly to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is very convenient to take the waterway." ā
This sentence is to the point, there is a sentence in later generations is not to say that if you want to get rich first build a road, this Grand Canal is an ancient highway, although Emperor Yang of Sui built the canal to make the people resentful, but it left the most valuable property for future generations.
staggered back to the house, but found that the door was still open, Liang San ran out of nowhere, and stepped forward to hold the horse for Wang Mai: "Mr. is finally back......"
Originally, he was not allowed to do these rough jobs, just leave them to others, he said that the little brown horse was used to being taken care of by him, and he was definitely not used to changing people. The boy was a little more truthful, and refused to receive the favor in vain. Anyway, he only took care of his own mount, and he couldn't get tired, so Wang Mai left him to go.
"By the way, that Ma Zhou has been here for a long time, and he has been waiting for Mr." Liang San finally remembered this incident.
"Ma Zhou? What is he here for? Wang Mai asked with a yawn.
"It is said that it is to pass the word for the King of Qin......"
"Got it......" sent Liang San away to let him go to bed early, Wang Mai rubbed his eyes and entered the hall, Ma Zhou was looking at a book with a book, and when he saw Wang Mai coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
As soon as he sat down and said a few words, he heard a cheerful shout at the door: "Brother Mai......"
