Chapter 9 Objectives

Deng Zixuan confidently continued: "Brother Chen led the long-legged Wu Bao, Bai Sheng, and Leng Yifei to investigate the situation in Shaoguan, and to find out the suspicious points within a month, Zuihou locked the target. Brother Pei led Wang Xiaoer to buy a piece of land outside the city within a month, and the location was as close to the sea as possible. The ghost wit Wan Chuan assisted Chen Fugui and Chen Gensheng to negotiate business in the shipyard. It is necessary to order a 200-ton sailboat as soon as possible and supervise the construction of the whole process. The big man and I set up a shop in the city, and we can't always stay in an inn, because it will arouse suspicion after a long time. Do you have any questions? ”

"No problem!" The crowd's expressions were excited. Early the next morning, Deng Zixuan and Wan Chuan walked into the room where their uncle and nephew lived. When Chen Fugui saw Deng Zixuan walking into the room, he immediately stood up, his purple face glowed with light, and said respectfully: "Son, little old man asks you for peace!" "Brother Chen, there's no need to be so polite, you and I will be brothers in the future, understand?" "The son is so benevolent and righteous, it is a blessing for the little old man!" Chen Fugui is still bowing.

The gap is too big, and it is unrealistic to let Chen Fugui change his habitual way of thinking now. Deng Zixuan got straight to the point and said: "Brother Chen, you were born and grew up by the sea, not only are you very familiar with the sea, especially the boat. I decided to order a 200-ton sailboat at the shipyard, and you will take care of this matter? "Deng Gongzi, Xiao Lao'er has never handled this matter. Let me sail on the sea without a problem, but it is difficult to go to the shipyard to negotiate shipbuilding! Chen Fugui was a little panicked.

Deng Zixuan smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to worry, Brother Wanchuan will assist you!" "Brother Chen! What is so terrible about us spending money to buy a boat, no one dares to bully you with me. Wan Chuan patted his chest and promised. Since Childe trusts me so much, I'll give it a try! "Brother Chen! After the purchase and sale of the ship was negotiated, I asked the shipyard to set up a mezzanine on both sides of the ship, which is especially important! Chen Fugui rubbed his big hands covered with calluses and nodded solemnly.

After breakfast, everyone went their separate ways, and before leaving, Chen Jintang said: "Shaoguan is about 200 kilometers away from here, and the connection is not smooth. How do I contact if I find a situation? Deng Zixuan understood what he meant and said in a deep voice: "I think so, if you send someone back to contact, leave a mark on the inside of the Weiyuan City Gate in the north, and make a cross ×." After the discovery was also left in the cross× the two sides confirmed and met at the city gate the next morning. "Deng Gongzi, let's go!" "Have a nice trip!"

After all the people went out, Zuihou Deng Zixuan led Zhang Mancang out. Walking through the ancient streets, Deng Zixuan was a little relaxed. Zhang Mancang, who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, follows behind like an iron tower, and his eyes are not enough to look around. The relatively short Cantonese couldn't help but focus his eyes on this big man from the north. Although it is winter in Guangzhou in December, it is still warm as spring, and the temperature of the sun is gradually rising.

There is a clear difference between the dress of the people of Guangzhou and Shanghai, most of the people walking on the street are wearing gray and white long and short coats, all of them are wearing ingots cloth shoes, and some people are barefoot and wearing wooden shoes. Another most obvious feature is that the shops on both sides of the street have no windows, and the open curtains are as large as the frontage of the shops, so that all the items and layouts in the shops are almost clear at a glance. The shop does not have a door, but uses a long wooden plank as a door. Opening and closing can be removed from the door panel or the door panel, so it is completely related to the climate of Guangzhou, which is a warm season all year round, so it creates a unique landscape of Guangzhou stores.

The old commercial street has a strong and warm commercial atmosphere. Deng Zixuan searched carefully in the downtown area, trying to find out if there were any shops for sale, but he was very disappointed and did not find one. Listening to the pedestrians on the road, Deng Zixuan couldn't understand the grunting Cantonese, and Zhang Mancang couldn't understand a word in the clouds. It's good that Deng Zixuan can understand a little bit if he doesn't squeeze it. The four characters of the Four Seasons Tea Store appeared in front of Deng Zixuan's eyes, and he examined it and walked in.

"Do you want to buy tea?" Deng Zixuan nodded, and saw a young junior smiling face. Then I began to browse the shelves on both sides, there were tea leaves in patterned porcelain bottles, and tea leaves in small garden wooden boxes, obviously this did not let the tea taste away. Traders have to welcome visitors from all over the world, so he speaks official fluently. "Guest officer, we have Yunnan Pu'er tea, Tieguanyin, Shanghaode flower tea, Longjing in Hangzhou, I don't know what the guest officer is good for!" Warm introduction from buddy.

"I want the most haode Tieguanyin!" Deng Zixuan didn't think about it, he liked the fragrance of Tieguanyin. The guy was overjoyed and immediately took a jar of Tieguanyin, and opened a unique fragrance into his heart. "Guest officer, this is the best Tieguanyin, produced in Anxi, Quanzhou, Fujian. At that time, Emperor Qianlong drank this tea and gave the name Tieguanyin. The tea has the wonderful use of freshness, fragrance, rhyme and joy. Its aroma is strong, strong and long-lasting, fresh floral fragrance, mellow and sweet, Guanyin is lucky, and the tea soup is golden and green, clear and bright. with ······. ”

"That's enough, don't you want to use all the compliments correctly!" Deng Zixuan said with a smile. "Guest! No lie! "Alright! How much is a tael! "This is the best Tieguanyin, 100 Wen a tael!" The guy was a little apprehensive. "Introduce me to your punchy words and work hard to introduce me!" After speaking, he motioned for Zhang Mancang to take out the silver. Guys are very happy, usually there are not many retail tea sales of one or two silver, which can be called a big deal. The guy packed a tea box for free.

Deng Zixuan didn't mean to leave, and looked around, "The guest officer still wants to buy other tea?" The man was beaming again. This man, I'm a grocer from Shanghai. I would like to ask if there are any shops in my area? The guy was stunned, after all, the guest bought the tea and refused: "Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper." "After a while, an old man came out of the house, about 50 years old." It was this guest officer, who bought a tael of silver Tieguanyin! ”

The old man's eyes are deep, revealing shrewdness and sophistication. "The guest officer is rude, but the guest officer doesn't seem to be a businessman but a scholar?" The old man asked. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's eyes are sharp, and what he said is right, I fell to Sun Shan in the spring of this year, so I was disheartened and turned to the shopping mall." I heard that business in Guangzhou is easy to do, so I came here to develop. "I see! What is the name of the guest officer? "Junior Deng Zixuan!" "The contemptible person is called Lin Qingxiang, and this Sihai tea shop is contemptible."

"Shopkeeper Lin is polite!" Deng Zixuan clenched his hands into fists. "Mr. Deng is so young, it's a pity not to fight for fame. It is commendable for Mr. to put pen to paper. As the saying goes, everyone is friends all over the world, and it is not easy to travel far away from home and go out, so it is natural to help each other. Mr. Deng is very honest, so I'll try my best to inquire, and you will come tomorrow to listen to the letter. "Thank you for your help, and I will say goodbye to my late life!" Please stay with Shopkeeper Lin! "Deng Gongzi go slowly!"

"Deng Gongzi, if you want to buy a shop, do you want to stay in Guangzhou?" After coming out, Zhang Mancang asked confusedly. "I will not stay in Guangzhou, but I must gain a foothold in Guangzhou, and leave people to gain a firm foothold here in the future, this is to plan for future development!" Zhang Mancang didn't understand what he meant at all, but he didn't want to ask again.

It is said that Pei Gejin and Wang Xiaoer came to the sea in Dongguan, opposite Ling Ling Ding Yang. Soon after the two of them searched for the sea, it was dark, and there was a fishing village not far away. "Second brother! It's getting dark, let's go to the village for the night! "According to the ranking, Wang Xiaoer calls Pei Gejin the second brother." Deng Gongzi asked to buy a piece of land on the seaside, which is full of potholes, I don't understand that he wants to choose to buy land on the seaside? Pei Gejin didn't know what to do.

"Second brother! Deng Gongzi is thoughtful, even you can't guess his thoughts, which can be seen to be extraordinary. Deng Gongzi is young, how do I feel a little unfathomable! Wang Xiaoer muttered. Not only is it unfathomable, the key is scheming. Deng Gongzi handed over the errand of buying land to me, and you and I must do our best. "The eldest brother has met Deng Gongzi, which is our blessing, and there is nothing wrong with Deng Gongzi who will follow him in the future!" The two brothers chatted and walked into the fishing village.

During the day, the clever ghost led his uncle and nephew to choose the largest shipyard on the edge of the Pearl River. The negotiation went very smoothly. In the Sihai Inn that night, the clever ghost Wan Chuan reported: "Deng Gongzi, this shipyard is called Maoyuan Shipping Company, which is the largest shipping company in Guangzhou!" They asked for 800 taels of silver, and if we agreed to pay half of the money tomorrow. The shipping company promised to deliver the goods according to our requirements within three months, and this is the approximate situation. ”

"Brother Chen, do you think this price is appropriate?" Deng Zixuan asked. "Sir! I checked the timber of the ship, and it was all of the best timber and the price was reasonable. "Good! Choose this ship, and tomorrow you will send them the money. In addition, from tomorrow onwards, the three of you will live in the shipyard and supervise the shipbuilding with all your might. "There was no word for the night, and the next day they began to split up again.

Early in the morning, the Four Seasons Tea Shop had just opened for business, and the tea shop guy opened the door panel, and saw Deng Zixuan a little stunned: "Mr. Deng, you came really early, I'll tell the shopkeeper." "The guy was very enthusiastic and welcomed Deng Zixuan into the store. After a while, Shopkeeper Lin came out with a smile: "Mr. Deng, I've kept you waiting for a long time, rude!" Faux pas! "I came early in the morning to disturb Tang Tu, and the younger generation is young and a little frizzy, please forgive me." "I like Mr. Deng's resolute personality, please take a seat! Have a seat! ”

The guy brought the tea, and the shopkeeper Lin said: "Don't say polite words, yesterday I inquired in many ways, there is a Zhejiang merchant who wants to sell a shop on Yuexiu Street, this person is in the silk business." When he first made trouble, he came here from Hangzhou to take refuge. Now that Shanghai is becoming more and more prosperous, this person decided to return to his hometown to do business. I have known this person in Guangzhou for more than ten years. ”

"Great, please introduce Shopkeeper Lin!" Deng Zixuan was overjoyed when he heard this. "However, there are other conditions attached to the sale of his store, so it has been a month, and there are many people who are interested, and many interested parties have retreated!" "What strings attached!" "The shopkeeper asked for the house behind the shop to be sold, so the price was very expensive." "How big is the house behind Shopkeeper Lin's shop?" "Three courtyards, with a small garden!" "No problem! Please lead the way! Deng Zixuan couldn't hear it.

The group got on a canopy boat, drove some distance in a winding ditch, and then went ashore and walked to Yuexiu Street. This street is basically a commercial street for silk and cloth, and it is almost the same as the layout of the connecting road for tea. Soon the business couple met each other, the shopkeeper was about 40 years old, and he was a very shrewd businessman at first glance, otherwise he would not have been able to buy a rich family property in Guangzhou.

After reading the shop and the house, Deng Zixuan didn't say a word, so he asked the shopkeeper to quote. The shopkeeper stretched out his finger, and Deng Zixuan smiled and said, "No need, if the price you quote is reasonable, I won't counteroffer!" "Deng Gongzi is so refreshing, I can't be hypocritical, how about 600 taels of silver?" "Deal! I would like to know how much stock is still in the shopkeeper's shop? "There are about 100 taels in stock!" "Good! I'll add another 100 taels, and the stock is all over! At noon, Deng Zixuan entertained the shopkeeper Lin and brought the shopkeeper to eat and drink by the way. At the banquet, Shopkeeper Lin and Shopkeeper Ma sighed endlessly, praising Mr. Deng for being so young and bold, and he must have a bright future.

Deng Zixuan knows that in the initial stage, especially in Guangzhou, he must suffer losses. At least through the mouth of Shopkeeper Lin, you can get a certain reputation, which is very important for future schemes. Deng Zixuan brought four thousand taels of silver, one and a half of it now. What is the next step to obtain the treasure, to be honest, Deng Zixuan has no bottom in his heart, so he can't pin all his hopes on the treasure.

On the same day, Deng Zixuan transferred from the inn to Renda Silk Shop on Yuexiu Street, and at the same time left the address of Renda Silk Shop in the inn, so as not to find Pei Gejin when he came back......
