Chapter Twenty-Four: Luo Jiaxiu Wants to Join the Stock (Urgently Seeking Recommendation Votes.)
"He is the second son of my eldest brother, and his name is Huangfu Wujin."
"The emperor has no promotion! How come I haven't heard of this name? ”
Huang Fu Qu showed a trace of doubt on his face, in fact, he had seen it once a few days ago, but he didn't know that the young man who had ruined his big thing was Huang Fu Wujin, he shook his head, he obviously didn't agree with Huang Fu Xu's inference, an unknown grandson, does he have that much ability?
"The county magistrate should know about the gambling that has been making a lot of noise these days!"
"Hmmm! I heard that this morning Su Tingshi and Zhang Xianling fought for this betting, Zhang Xianling fled in despair, I heard that it was very exciting, but unfortunately I was not there. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Fu Qu suddenly reacted, and he stared at Huang Fu Xu with some incredulity, "You mean to say that the gambling in the past few days has something to do with your nephew Huangfu Wujin?" ”
"It's not just about it, gambling is his single-handedly planned, this morning, he not only made Zhang Xianling disgraced, but also beat Huang Shilang like a dog, but I thought this was the fifth plan, today I just knew, in fact, it has nothing to do with the old five, it is all done by this Wujin, it can be seen that he has a special relationship with Su Thorn History, so I suspect that my father was also instigated by him to take refuge in Su Thorn History."
Huangfu Qu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and he suddenly frowned and asked, "How old is this person?" I mean you're a nephew. ”
"He was not very old, only seventeen years old, and he had been away from home for seven years......"
"Seventeen, huh! The hair hasn't grown all! ”
Huang Fuqu sneered, he glanced at Huang Fuxu dissatisfied, a seventeen-year-old little boy he was actually embarrassed to take it out and talk about things, did he think that he was so easy to fool?
"Brother Huangfu, even if you say it, your father is old and confused, I don't have to worry about him, but I hope you are not confused."
"Yes! Be! The county prince can rest assured, I am definitely not confused, as long as I can still call the shots, the Donghai Huangfu clan will definitely follow the county prince. ”
"Hmm!"
Huangfuqu was still satisfied with his statement, he nodded and asked, "Do you have anything else?" ”
"Nope."
Huangfu Xu saw that it was very late, so he stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb the rest of the county prince and retire." ”
"Alright! Go back and think about it, especially for the future of your eldest son. ”
When Huang Fu Xu walked away, Huang Fu Qu's eyes gradually showed a fierce light, the tail of the East China Sea Huang Fu clan was too high, he must clean them up and let them be honest, now is the time to use his secret weapon.
Not only the Huangfu family, but also the newcomer Su Hanzhen didn't go to the road, and he didn't even inquire about the power structure of Donghai County, so he invited the Huangfu family to dinner, which was too indifferent to himself.
After pondering for a moment, Huangfu Qu suddenly beckoned and came in a subordinate, "Please give orders from the county magistrate?" ”
"You go to Huangfu's house first, find Xiao Ji, and tell her that I really want the thing she said last time, and let her get it for me today and tomorrow."
After a pause, Huangfu Qu instructed again: "Then go to the head of Cao's house in the county government and tell him, just say that it is my order, and let him find an opportunity tomorrow to tell Su Tingshi about the background of the six major families in Donghai County." ”
"Yes! Let's go. ”
Huangfu Qu looked at the ceiling with his hands in his hands, and he muttered to himself: "Su Hanzhen, I don't believe it, you will really be an enemy of me for a family of Huangfu in the East China Sea?" ”
.......
Wu Jin accompanied his grandfather back to the clan house, and then rushed to the new house of the fifth uncle Huang Fugui, Huang Fugui's new house is located in Qifeng Bridge in the south of the city, covering an area of about one and a half acres, two before and after, more than a dozen tile houses, and a small courtyard in front, eighty percent new, which was bought by Huang Fugui with two hundred taels of silver half a year ago.
The new house was originally intended to be bought for the youngest son's marriage, but yesterday Huang Fugui and his second brother Huang Fuxu turned their faces, were dismissed from the position of pawnshop shopkeeper, and were kicked out of the Huangfu mansion, and he asked for his surname and moved into the new house.
The guest hall of Huangfu Gui's new house was brightly lit, bursting with laughter, and everyone was gathering together to discuss the opening of a pawnshop.
Everyone sat at the round table, Wu Jin, the fifth uncle Huangfu Gui and his son Zhong Yong, as well as the two buddies of the pawnshop, Lao Qi and the black pig, they were also fired together, and there was another person, Luo Xiucai, the master of ceremonies.
Luo Xiucai is forty years old this year, his real name is Luo Ming, he can be called Huangfu's diaper friend, they have been playing mud together since they were two years old, his father is the account office of Huangfu's family, he hopes that his son will become a dragon, and he has sent his son to Huangfu's private school since he was a child.
It's a pity that his son is not a student of reading, he started to take the Xiucai exam at the age of eighteen, and he didn't even see the shadow of Xiucai until he was twenty-eight years old, and he was nicknamed Luo Xiucai by others.
Although Luo Xiucai is not good at reading, he has another talent, that is, he is clever and eloquent, very perceptive, good at taking care of the scene, and is very able to inquire about news, has many friends, and has a wide range of information, but Luo Xiucai also has a fatal weakness, that is, he is addicted to alcohol, not only drank the little property left by his father, but also took his wife to exchange for wine, although he later repented and ransomed his wife back with the help of friends, but his reputation was stinky because of this, and no one dared to use him.
He only has to do odd jobs everywhere, help with social occasions, and earn a little money.
This time Wu Jin did the gambling, he was the master of ceremonies, it can be said that the gambling could succeed in the end, his credit was great, Wu Jin also generously gave him a reward of five hundred taels of silver, but Luo Xiucai had an idea, through this betting, he felt that doing things with Wu Jin, he would one day have a bright future.
Huang Fugui drank some wine tonight, his face was flushed, and he excitedly said to everyone: "I have already thought of the address of the new pawnshop, and I chose Baxian Bridge in the east of the city, which is one of the three prosperous places in Weiyang, and it is close to the east gate, very close to the dock, not only can you do maritime business, but also can do the business of dock workers......"
Before he finished speaking, his son Zhong Yong interrupted him, "Dad, what's the point of being a dock worker's business, those people are poor and hard, what kind of money can they make?" ”
Huang Fugui was interrupted by his son, so he slapped him on the scalp and scolded him: "What is the little kid talking about, it's none of your business here, go and help your mother clean up her things." ”
Wu Jin also smiled and said, "Fifth uncle, I think Zhong Yong is right, isn't the pawnshop's business as a dock worker too low-grade." ”
"Ahem! Wu Jin, you don't understand this, Baxian Bridge is the three major feng shui treasures in Weiyang County, you can find a shop in this area, you can make money with your eyes closed, and the pawnshop is actually not divided into high and low, just look at the word of mouth, don't look at the dock workers Although they are poor, but there are many people, you can do a lot of business, this time you do gambling is not like this, a person earns fifty wen is not much, but 10,000 people can earn five hundred taels of silver, and it is easy to have a reputation when there are many guests, such as a rich man from a foreign country just got off the boat, ask on the dock, man, is there a better pawnshop nearby? And the guy will say, yes! There is one in the Eight Immortals Bridge over there, Tong Su is not deceiving, you see, isn't the business coming? ”
Huangfugui introduced it humorously, causing everyone to laugh, Wu Jin couldn't help but nodded, the fifth uncle said a little reasonable, since he is a pawnshop expert, he doesn't care about this layman, he smiled and asked: "Is there a ready-made shop?" It's best to be a pawnshop, and we can just take it down. ”
"There's just one!"
Luo Xiucai took the conversation and said with a smile: "There is a Guan Ji pawnshop in the south of the Eight Immortals Bridge, I heard that the old man of the Guan Dong died of illness in his hometown last month, he is filial piety, he wants to go back to his hometown Pingjiang County to keep filial piety for three years, and the lease period is still one year, he is transferring the shop, we can go and see." ”
Wu Jin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard him use the word 'we', Huang Fugui knew it, so he pulled Wu Jin along, and the two found an excuse to go to the back room.
"Fifth uncle, do you want to hire Luo Xiucai?" Wu Jin had already roughly guessed one or two.
Huangfugui sighed, "Luo Xiucai has a very good relationship with me, he came to beg me, he wants to continue to work with us, he wants to use the five hundred taels of silver to vote, I don't know if you agree?" ”
In fact, Wujin also values Luo Xiucai, Luo Xiucai is a kind of person who belongs to the idle companion in ancient times, they are not pillars of talent, they can't support the overall situation of business, and they can't be 'firewood', and they can't do real affairs, but they play an important role in the scene of eating, drinking and having fun with the rich.
This kind of person, ordinary people may look down on, but Wu Jin comes from later generations, but he knows that in later generations this kind of person is called 'public relations', whether in shopping malls or officialdom, has an extremely important role, from this gambling can be seen, Luo Xiucai is very good at setting off the atmosphere, encouraging everyone to buy lottery tickets, set off wave after wave of **, such people are willing to do with themselves, Wu Jin is of course willing.
"Fifth Uncle, what do you mean?"
Huangfugui shook his head, "He came to be a buddy, I have already agreed, but I want to discuss with you about investing money in the group." ”
There is a reason why Huang Fugui did not immediately agree to Luo Xiucai's joining, and the reason is that Zhang Baozi, who won the jackpot, that Baozi is Huang Fugui's friend, and his friendship is very good, and he is willing to be the matchmaker for this grand prize.
But the problem is that Huang Fugui did it in private, Wu Jin didn't know about it, Huang Fugui also knew that he was reckless, and he apologized to Wu Jin afterwards, but Wu Jin didn't care, just reminded him that this matter must not be careless, once it was exposed, the county order Zhang Rong would definitely not spare them.
Although Huang Fugui was very painful, he also understood the serious consequences of this matter once it was exposed, so he signed a winning contract with Zhang Baozi, and asked an intermediary to sign, and handed over 1,000 taels of silver on the spot, which was regarded as if he had really won the prize.
Therefore, after having the lesson of this Zhang Baozi, Huang Fugui did not dare to agree to Luo Xiucai's request to join the gang without authorization, he had to discuss with Wujin before deciding.
In fact, it is the same for Wu Jin to do business in later generations, in order to envelop his capable cadres, he will also give up one or two points to let his subordinates share the profits, but it is generally given after two or three years of observation, like Luo Xiucai, who will send dry shares as soon as he enters the door, generally Wu Jin will not agree, and would rather open a higher salary, but he can see that the fifth uncle wants to give Luo Xiucai a part, since the fifth uncle has a heart, he is not good to say anything.
Wu Jin smiled and said, "I have no problem, the fifth uncle has decided." ”
Huangfu Gui was overjoyed, and hurriedly explained: "Our share is fifty percent each, and Luo Xiucai joins the gang, so I will give half of my share to him, so that I will be four percent of five, and it will not affect your share." ”
Wu Jin only agreed for the sake of his own face, this is well known to the world, and he also knows that it is the most taboo to do business and pull people into the gang, he feels that it is necessary to tell Wu Jin again the reason why he agreed to Luo Xiucai to join the gang.
Huangfugui sighed and told Wujin a piece of the past, "The reason why I agreed to Luo Xiucai to join the gang is because his father has a great kindness to me, I met a businessman from the capital when I was seventeen years old, he said that he was short of money and wanted to sell me an antique, the original price was three thousand taels of silver, he only sold it for five hundred taels, I was very wealthy, so I stole the family's five hundred taels of silver and bought the antique, and later learned that the antique was fake, worth five taels of silver at most, and the merchant couldn't find it, I was so anxious that I almost hanged myself, you know, Stealing the family's money will be kicked out of the family, and my life will be over, and then Luo Xiucai's father took this matter down for me, saying that he miscalculated the account, and he was the account of the Huangfu family, so he was dismissed by the Huangfu family....."
Speaking of this, Huang Fugui's eyes were a little red, he rubbed the corners of his eyes with his fat hand, and continued: "I have always remembered this kindness in my heart, after Luo Xiucai's father died, his family's life really became embarrassed, even the house was borrowed to live in a relative's house, Luo Xiucai has no ability, and he is good at drinking, he owes a lot of debts, and he has a son and a daughter at home, and he relies on his wife to do laundry for others to earn some money to support the family, I want to take this opportunity to repay his father's kindness, so I don't want his five hundred taels of silver, and he pays off his wife to buy a house, I gave him half of the shares, and then asked him to sell me dead goods, and I paid him some wages every month, so that his family's life would gradually improve, and his father would be able to look down under the Nine Springs. ”
Wu Jin nodded silently, although the fifth uncle is a bit of a philistine, sometimes he can take advantage of a little advantage, but he is a very affectionate person, it can be seen from Luo Xiucai's matter, there are some details, such as the day he came back, the fifth uncle has actually quietly asked his grandfather to find an errand for himself, and his two buddies, although he usually scolds and scolds, but if something happens, he will not throw away the two buddies, and he can feel the kindness of the fifth uncle.
Thinking of this, Wu Jin scratched the back of his head and smiled: "The fifth uncle will look at this matter!" I'm too lazy to care, anyway, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I can go with you to see the store. ”
