[2o] Yisheng Foreign Company

"In the future, when the shopkeeper comes, let him come in directly, no need to report again, the fart yard is not so exquisite."

"Yes, host."

He Wannian hurriedly strode in. "Brother Yao, good news!"

Yao Fan was a little surprised. "Brother He, tell me, what is the good news?"

He Wannian was excited, but he didn't care about being polite, and when he walked in, he sat directly in the chair next to Yao Fan, leaned on the table with half of his body, knocked his fingers on the table, stretched his neck and said happily: "Yisheng Yangxing!" Yisheng Foreign Company ordered 1,000 watches from our morning sail firm! ”

When Yao Fan heard this, he was also a little surprised.

"A thousand!? What a big deal this righteous foreign company is! What business did they turn out to be? Do they pay cash? What price did Brother He give them? Yao Fan hurriedly inquired.

He Wannian sold a pass. "Does Brother Yao have water? I ran all the way and died of thirst. ”

"Hehe, my bowl of tea has just been brewed, the temperature is right, you drink it first." Yao Fan instructed He Shicheng to hurry up and serve tea, but his eyes were fixed on He Wannian and he waited for him to say the following.

He Wannian seemed to have come here, he picked up the small tea bowl and drank it almost as soon as he drank it, wiped his mouth and said: "This Yisheng Foreign Company is also an old name, speaking of which, it was distributed with the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou, nominally it was for the British cotton cloth trade, but in fact, it has always been a first-class business for opium trafficking. ”

Yao Fan couldn't help frowning when he heard that the Yisheng foreign company was engaged in opium trading, but he knew that this kind of foreign company that sold opium was the most rich and well-connected, and it was all black and white.

He Wannian said: "The shopkeeper Wu of Yishengxing came with the silver car from Jinan Mansion this time, and planned to escort the silver from our Qingdao port to Shanghai and transport it to the foreigner's bank.

I heard that he entered the city in a silver car at noon, and immediately went to visit, who knew that the shopkeeper Wu of Yisheng was very happy to see the watch, saying that he had been selling foreign goods in the foreign market for so many years, and he had never seen a foreign watch so good and so exquisite!

Brother Yao, you think, then the shopkeeper Wu can speak some English and foreign words, and he is used to dealing with foreigners, even he has never seen Brother Yao's watch, it can be seen that this watch is indeed the best good goods for Westerners! Light yì does not flow out. ”

Yao Fan smiled and said nothing.

He Wannian's face was full of eagerness: "Brother Yao's family is really good!" I can get such goods! At that time, after I took the shopkeeper Wu of the Yisheng Foreign Company to see the goods, he was unwilling to let go when he saw this watch, and pestered me for an afternoon, pulling and talking, in fact, there was only one purpose, I had to give him a low price. ”

"And how much do you give them?"

He Wannian said: "Two hundred and twenty-two!" There are 1,000 in total, a total of 220,000 taels! ”

Yao Fan was taken aback.

In Yao Fan's opinion, such a large number of batches can be sold for two hundred taels is already very good, and now He Wannian can actually sell it at a price of two hundred and twenty taels, which is really a big profit!

Seeing that Yao Fan was silent, He Wannian asked cautiously, "Brother Yao, do you think I'm selling it cheaply?" ”

Yao Fan came back to his senses and said, "Where is it, I am very happy to be able to sell a thousand so quickly." ”

He Wannian said with relief: "Brother Yao, don't worry, this watch is so exquisite, as long as it is shopped out, it will be sold safely, and I estimate that this batch of goods will soon be insufficient to sell." ”

Yao Fan knew that He Wannian was worried about his source of goods, and hurriedly explained: "There is only a market that cannot be sold, and there is no goods that cannot be supplied!" Brother He, rest assured, my next batch of goods will arrive soon! Actually, I'm worried that the Qing Dynasty is so poor, and there are some hardships all over the place, where can I sell a lot of foreign watches. ”

He Wannian saw that Yao Fan guaranteed that the supply was sufficient, and said happily: "Brother Yao, don't just look at our Qingdao mouth, and think that the world is so unbearable, Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Shanghai, those Guangcheng Dafu, which is not a rich family?" The provincial capitals of all provinces in the world are not full of gentry and businessmen. ”

"Brother He, how much does this watch sell in a year?"

He Wannian didn't expect Yao Fan to ask like this, so he hurriedly counted his fingers and said, "There are 25,000,000 people in the Great Qing Kingdom, and there is always one in the 300 people who can afford this watch." ”

Yao Fan asked curiously, "Why three hundred?" ”

"Brother Yao, you think, my Qing Dynasty envoy is a brand A household registration system, ten households and one family, and ten brands and one brand ......"

"I know this, ten cards and one guarantee, one person rebels, and the armor is sitting." Yao Fan interjected.

He Wannianxin said I will tell you about sales, why did you get involved in rebellion and sat down, glanced at Yao Fan and continued.

"One card says that there are 100 households, but in fact, most of them are not enough, and there are only about 300 people. A squire restrains more than 300 people, and his family is naturally rich, as long as he is willing to spend money, it is not a problem for the family to buy two watches, we will count him as only buying one. ”

"Brother He's reasonable. So, can this watch sell for a million dollars? ”

"I don't dare to say certainly, after all, there are still some places in the world where even the chief of security is poor. But in the meantime, many of the wealthy squires have moved to the city, so we just have to sell them to the city. Sell for 200,000 yuan, and the sale must be smooth. ”

"I see, Brother He."

Yao Fan's eyes rolled and asked, "Then why didn't Yisheng Yangxing take a fancy to my soap?" ”

"Who said that I didn't like it, I fell in love with it, not only did I fall in love with foreign soap, but also I fell in love with our cotton cloth, so the shopkeeper Wu was still interested in our bicycle."

"Did you buy it?"

"Shopkeeper Wu said that he will hold a banquet tomorrow and invite Brother Yao to meet."

Yao Fan didn't speak, but nodded.

He Wannian frowned and said: "There is another thing I have to tell you quickly, my guy in the store reported it, saying that the subordinate of Guojiazhuang went to Jimo County, and sent an urgent letter to the letter bureau." I don't know where the letter went, but I think it's eighty percent that Guo Jixiu is going to complain to him. ”

Yao Fan thought to himself: "Then how will Guo Jixiu's Lao Tzu design me, this is really hard to guess, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, this can't be careless." ”

After thinking about it, Yao Fan got up, bowed to He Wannian, and said humbly: "Please Brother He teach me how to deal with this matter." ”

He Wannian hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

He Shicheng had just made a bowl of tea for Yao Fanxin, and just put the tea bowl on the table, seeing Yao Fan asking He Wannian for advice, He Shicheng suddenly knelt down for He Wannian, and said: "The second master will definitely help our owner, our owner has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the place, and if the second master does not help, he will definitely suffer." ”

He Wannian's heart sank, and he said: "This kid has only been with Yao Fan for a day, and he is so desperate, what kind of ** soup did Yao Fan pour him?" ”

Thinking about it, He Wannian spread his hands, asked Yao Fan to return to his position, and sat back himself, and said: "Rabbit cub, do you still want to chew on this, your second master and your host are people in the same boat, hurry up, don't show your eyes." ”

Yao Fan looked at He Shicheng with a smile and said, "Good boy, Yao Ye knows that you are loyal, go down, I want to talk to your second master about business." ”

He Shicheng hurriedly got up and went out and closed the door of the living room.

"Brother Zaofan, how did you train yourself? I see that Shicheng is a kid, and he is dead set on you. ”

Yao Fan smiled silently, and said in his heart that the salary I gave him was enough to hire ten guys, and if he gave such a good treatment to a young man, how could he not return to me? But it's hard to say this, so I just smile.

He Wannian felt that He Shicheng wanted to show his loyalty in front of the new owner, so he smiled and said: "My son of the He family is honest, hehe." ”

Yao Fan smiled and said: "It's still Brother He's family style is good, and there are only such good young men in the clan." ”

He Wannian heard Yao Fan praise his good family style, and said happily: "Get down to business, Brother Yao, we have to be on guard now." ”

Yao Fan asked, "How to be careful?" ”

He Wannian stared at Yao Fan, his eyes were round, and he leaned sideways across the table and said: "This is the five families of Jimo, although there are occasional marriages, but they have always been intrigued in private.

As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places, and none of these five families want to be held down by others, so they all sharpen their heads and want to climb to the top of the house. However, they don't look at the marriage between each other.

Moreover, the land in the countryside of these five townships is more or less next to each other, and conflicts are constantly raging on weekdays. Let's just say that in the spring of this year, in order to fight for water and watering the land, Guo Lan's two families fought fiercely, and the two families together died seven or eight and injured more than two hundred. Haha, does Brother Yao know? The seventh master of the Lan family is still married to Guo Jixiu's sixth aunt. ”

Yao Fan saw He Wannian gloating, and happily asked, "How can you fight so hard?" Isn't this a turn of face and denying people? Aren't they in-laws? How can everything not be discussed? ”

He Wannian explained: "Brother Yao doesn't know, since the beginning of spring this year, there has only been a drizzle on the boundary of Laizhou Mansion, and the rain has fallen in the middle of the night, and it will be gone at dawn.

The Guo family was shrewd enough, and seeing that the weather was abnormal, they flipped through the agricultural records of their ancestors over the years, and knew that it was a great drought, so they gathered all the people of Zhuangzi, blocked an earthen dam on the Xiaoqing River, and poured the river water into his family's field. Brother Zaofan, do you think, how can the downstream Lan family be willing? This is related to the real income in the field, not to mention the in-laws, it is not easy to make the father-in-law. ”

"Does the government care?"

He Wannian snorted heavily and said, "Official!?" The government can't ask for rain, how dare to come out? simply rely on themselves to fight, and when the fight is won, this matter will be over, and the officials are not willing to provoke the fire. Brother Yao must know that this mutual fight for water is more ruthless than the war between the officials and the army, and he has always refused to give in an inch, and if he does not kill a few, he will never retreat. ”

"So who won?"

"Although the Lan family had many dead and wounded, they finally dug the earthen dam on the river. Then the Huang family and the Zhou family sent a number of Zhuang Ding to mediate, and the Lan family and the Huang Zhou family are the three most important families in Jimo, and they have always been together. The Guo family saw that the Lan family was fierce, and the Huang Zhou family also pulled the shelf, so they had to give up. ”

Yao Fan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother Wannian means, do you want me to ask for help from the Lan family?" ”

He Wannian said eagerly: "Exactly! My He family has a relationship with these five families, and now that I have made a good relationship with Brother Zaofan, I naturally want to deal with the Guo family together, so of course we have to win over those four families. I have prepared a generous gift, and I will visit these four families one by one with you Brother Zaofan in the coming day, what do you think? ”
