The woman in pink did not immediately say the so-called trade secrets, but said to Wei Hong with the surname of negotiation: "You promise to accept me as an apprentice first, and then I can tell you." ”

Wei Hong belongs to the kind of lord who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and he is willing to retreat only after everything is sure that it is beneficial to him. Wei Hong shook his head: "No, you need to tell this so-called trade secret first, and then I think the interests involved are enough to make me feel tempted before I can agree to you." ”

The woman in pink thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, you can come up to the second floor with me." With that, the woman in pink took the lead and walked to the second floor, followed by Wei Hong.

About half an hour later, Wei Hong and the woman in pink both walked down, both with satisfied smiles on their faces, obviously the small business between the two had been negotiated. The woman in pink became Wei Hong's first female disciple, and Wei Hong also got the trade secrets he wanted.

During the conversation on the second floor just now, Wei Hong learned that the woman in pink was named Zhang Ling'er, and she was the daughter of the largest cloth company in the capital. The three major trading houses in the capital are all involved in the cloth business, and half of the grey cloth traveled by each business is from Tianyou cloth. Although Hongyuan Commercial Bank also does grey cloth business in the capital, but this is the capital after all, the capital has its own cloth industry chain, and the grey cloth from other places cannot gain a firm foothold in the capital, so even Hongyuan Commercial Bank needs to enter the grey cloth of Tianyou cloth in the capital. Zhang Linger's so-called trade secrets are actually tight this time. About half a year ago, several major weaving factories in the south dedicated to Tianyou cloth were in short supply of raw materials, resulting in a decline in the output of weaving cloth, in addition to supplying the capital, but also to supply several other places, so grey cloth is in short supply. As the largest cloth store in the capital, Tianyou Cloth Store will hoard a large amount of grey cloth every year and sell it when the market is good. This year, Tianyou Cloth has also stockpiled enough grey fabric, due to the insufficient output of the southern weaving mills, it will lead to a shortage of grey cloth in the entire capital in the near future. When there is the greatest shortage of grey fabric, the Tianyou Commercial Bank will restrict the surname from putting the grey cloth in stock out, raising the market price and seeking huge benefits. Such an approach will cause the Tianyou cloth firm to make a lot of money, while the other three major trading houses will be miserable.

The last time I met with Li Shimin, Li Shimin mentioned that he would rectify the three major commercial houses in the capital and restore the development of the market in the capital. As long as one of the three major commercial banks stands out, Li Shimin will definitely take this commercial bank as a model and let this commercial bank lead the market in Beijing. If Hongyuan Commercial Bank can be valued enough by Li Shimin, it can not only make Hongyuan Commercial Bank gain a firm foothold in Beijing, but also become the largest commercial bank in Beijing, even surpassing the Hangzhou headquarters.

As a professional businessman, Wei Hong has an extremely sharp sense of business, and as soon as he finished chatting with Li Shimin, Wei Hong knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But later, because he had an awkward quarrel with Li Xuanqing, he didn't have a chance to say it for a long time. At this time, he got the trade secrets provided by Zhang Ling'er, and Wei Hong almost won the game.

Wei Hong's idea is very simple, before the crisis of the shortage of grey cloth in the market in the capital, let Hongyuan Commercial Bank hoard a large number of grey fabric, and when the crisis arises, the remaining two commercial banks will increase the price of cloth in order to protect the capital. At this time, because of the sufficient grey fabric, Hongyuan Commercial Bank can sell cloth products at low prices without losing money and without making money, thus dealing a fatal blow to the remaining two commercial banks! Presumably, it won't take a few days for the two firms to be unable to support them, and Hongyuan Firms will become the leader. Although there are many types of business in the trading houses, and there are other businesses besides the cloth business, the larger the trading houses, the tighter the entanglement of the business, and if any one of them has a problem, the rest of the business will also be implicated. In these years, the cloth industry was very developed, in addition to supplying civilian use, but also to supply military, every commercial bank is trying to develop the cloth industry, even Li Xiehe is no exception. Otherwise, Li Xiehe would not have sent Wei Hong all the way to the capital to help Li Xuanqing fight the world.

Of course, this so-called 'trade secret' may be a complete set of designs designed by the other two firms, so care must be taken. Before taking action, it is necessary to send someone to find out, and only after confirming that it is true can we start to prepare.

Although I don't know if this news is true or not, Wei Hong is still very happy to be able to exchange teaching sketches for such a major trade secret, this transaction is really worth it! Besides, this Zhang Ling'er, it is not an exaggeration to use the word 'loser' to describe her. In order to learn sketching, she even dared to give away such a big trade secret, if her father knew about it, she wouldn't be angry?

"Sir, when will you teach me how to sketch?" Zhang Ling'er didn't have the slightest consciousness and asked excitedly.

Wei Hong's top priority now is to determine the secret real surname, and he has no time to waste time on sketching, so he thought about it and said: "You don't know anything about sketching now, I will teach you, and it will be half the effort." It's better to go to Fang Yizhi and Du He first, and ask them to hand over the most basic skills to you, and after you learn it, I will give it to you more difficult. "Wei Hong said it more tactfully, in fact, to put it bluntly, you go and Fang Zhizhi and the two of them to learn to draw eggs. Even Fang Du and the others spent nearly a month painting eggs, and if you want to paint eggs well, it will take at least two months, right? Don't bother me for the next two months.

Zhang Ling'er became the first female disciple of sketching, and she was already so excited that she couldn't think rationally, and she responded without the slightest objection.

In order to determine the secret real surname as soon as possible, Wei Hong no longer stayed in Xiangyuan, glanced at Li Xuanqing, and left with Li Xuanqing first.

Li Xuanqing was very shrewd, knowing that Wei Hong must have obtained information that was very beneficial to Hongyuan Commercial Bank, and as soon as he returned to Hongyuan Commercial Bank, he asked: "Wei Hong, did Xiao Ling'er tell you something amazing?" ”

Wei Hong said noncommittally: "It's not just amazing! This news can determine whether Hongyuan Commercial Bank is prosperous or declining in the capital! Then Wei Hong told Li Xuanqing about Xiao Ling'er's words and his own thoughts.

After Li Xuanqing listened, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, and covered her mouth and looked at Wei Hong blankly. In addition to being shocked by this trade secret, on the other hand, he was also glad that he did not let Wei Hong leave, if Wei Hong was missing, Hongyuan Commercial Bank would never come out in the capital.
