Chapter Eighty-Seven: In Business
The Yang family is beautiful, but Pan Shicheng is unlucky, the old wine of the Yang family is the best, but it also has a way to drink, because of the marriage between Yang Meng and Lian'er, Master Yang and Master Pan are holding their breath in their hearts, and they have no moderation when drinking.
The Yang family has banned alcohol for many years, and Yang Shiqin still has a bottom limit, and he slipped away when he didn't see it well, Pan Shicheng was angry by drinking, and he drank too much of it when he was drinking.
Thanks to the famous doctors of Liangguang who treated Yang Yong, they stumbled on Yang Meng, they prescribed a few pairs of sobering soup, and got a few pairs of Huiyuan medicines, so that Pan Shicheng could recover within a day or two, otherwise after this heavy drink, it would be impossible for Pan Shicheng to recover within a month and a half.
In the past few days, Lian'er's girl has also been sinned, and she has been ravaged by her husband at night. If it weren't for the help of Tang Youwu and Qinglian, this marriage would have to put down the father and daughter of the Pan family together.
Pan Shicheng, who returned to Shen'er, asked about Lian'er's situation, whether it was her husband or her husband, he didn't have anything to worry about, there were many things in Liangguang, and he couldn't be away for a long time, and it seemed that it was time for him to leave.
When asked Lian'er about Yang Meng's situation, this little girl couldn't say anything, except for seeing her husband at night, she basically couldn't see his shadow during the day.
"Xingdou is now in control of the Yang family, there are many things, and the burden on his body is very heavy, you have to be more considerate of him, and you will play less with that young lady's temper in the future, don't make trouble for Xingdou!"
The chaos in Yunnan Pan Shicheng knows that the current Yang family is afraid that it will be a critical time, and his new son-in-law will not be addicted to women. Color, it's a good thing, Lian'er's temperament Pan Shicheng is clear, and he didn't forget to beat her.
"Daddy, people are your daughters, you are a star, you are kind, he is just your son-in-law, not a son! People still have to be called 'master'! ”
As soon as Lian'er heard her father admonish herself, she didn't follow it, pulled Pan Shicheng's arm, and sprinkled her coquettishness.
"My son-in-law is half a son, your brother and I will stay in Yunnan, if he can learn two or three points of Xingdou skills, why should my Pan family be worried? You also mention your brother there, let Xingdou hone him more, the Pan family is still counting on a descendant! Go and see if Xingdou has come back, Daddy has something to say. ”
Sent away Lian'er, Pan Shicheng was also thinking about the cooperation between the Yang and Pan families, his son-in-law is a great talent, but the Yang family still has many shortcomings in the business, since the two families have become hardcore relatives, these things still have to be made clear.
Yang Meng has not been idle these days, Yunyan's affairs are not in a hurry, and protecting the Pan family is the most important thing. The idle people of the Pan family want to move to Yunnan, they need a house and real estate, Kunming is too eye-catching, and they can only find a good house in Yiliang.
The Yang family's 500 musketeers in Xishan were the most reliable manpower, and these people were allocated to the old man, on the one hand, to protect the safety of him and the trade routes, and on the other hand, to contain the Pan family.
Yang Meng has a bottom limit in his heart, the Pan family can make a fortune, but they can't climb to the head of the Yang family, the Pan family's power in Guangzhou is not small, and there are also branches in Fujian, once the Pan family wants to replace the Yang family, these five hundred musketeers are killers.
The Pan family can do business and help the Yang family train people, but the Pan family can't have their own martial arts, the money and guns are in their hands, and people's ambitions will continue to grow.
Yang Meng has spent all his time rectifying this team these days, these people are sent over, not only to be able to fight and kill, but also to have some other skills, a few stewards in the eldest brother Yang Yong's horse gang are also placed in it, Yunyan is the foundation of the Yang family, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
If you want to run Yunnan, it will inevitably cost a lot of money, and the purchase of real estate and training of people in the early stage are all transactions that cost a lot of money and have little return, and the Yang family must have sufficient funds if they want to support this scene.
Yang Meng's formula for Yunyan can be kept secret, and the sales channels must also be controlled, so that Yunyan is popular, which is Yang Meng's purpose, not to turn it into a luxury product.
Raising prices in Guangzhou is also a last resort, Yang Pan and his family have been short of money recently, after this time, the price of Yunyan will also have to be adjusted, anyway, their side is almost a businessless business, as long as there is a market, it is a big son or two, and he can make a windfall.
When these stewards arrived in Guangzhou, they wanted to monitor the price of cloud cigarettes, and they must not let the Pan family profit excessively. As long as the price is right, the foreign devils will develop the market for themselves.
These manpower has been almost trained by the Yang family, and Yang Meng only needs to give them some surveillance techniques and secret methods to transmit news.
was busy working, and there was news from the Grange, which was brought by the new third lady, saying that her father-in-law had woken up and asked her to go over to say hello.
The knife hand who passed the word was very frightened, his forehead was full of sweat, and he was the first to talk to the third master like this.
"What are you afraid of! Anyway, a man who plays with a knife, these few words can scare you? Let's go, back to the Grange! ”
Wuzhuang's swordsman is still a little worse, but the swordsman of Grange is too awe-inspiring for himself, and a single look can scare them to tremble, which is not a good thing.
The awe is almost become, excessive awe, will raise servility, people with servility is a tool, Yunnan has too many big and small things, counting on oneself, squeezing it out is not possible, the right thing to let the right people do it, Yang Meng does not want to be a machine.
When she arrived at the Grange, Lian'er had been waiting outside her father-in-law's courtyard for a long time, and the servants next to her were boiling hot water.
"Master! Hurry up! Daddy has been waiting for a long time. ”
It looks like this girl has to be adjusted. Teach, this time the word is a bit indiscrete, and the prestige that I have worked hard to get can't let women lose.
"Come here!"
Yang Meng beckoned to Lian'er, and Lian'er's little girl, who didn't know what was going on, ran over with her jumping.
Yang Meng turned around and blocked the eyes of the servants. Raise. Two hits on the buttocks.
"In the future, when you pass a message to the master, you must bring honorifics, don't be so indiscreet, it doesn't look like a look!"
"You bullied me, I told Daddy!"
After being hit twice for no reason, mist immediately rose in Lian'er's eyes, what kind of person! Hit people at every turn!
"That's good! Let's find my father-in-law to comment on the theory! ”
Yang Meng took the tea tray in the servant's hand, pulled the tearful Lian'er, and entered Pan Shicheng's house.
"The son-in-law gives tea to the father-in-law!"
The new couple respectfully finished according to the rules, and it was Lian'er's turn to make trouble.
"Daddy, he's a bad guy and always bullies people! Hit people at every turn! You have to be the master of Lian'er! ”
Lian'er, the little girl, didn't care about it, and after she got up, she grabbed Pan Shicheng's arm and shouted injustice.
"Yo...... I can't control this, you have to find that dad in Kunming to complain, your little baby is now the Yang family, my dad can't talk well! If you look at the five big and three thick stars of Star Dou, Daddy doesn't dare to care! Look at Daddy's old arms and legs, what if he breaks them? ”
What kind of treatment Lian'er treats in the Yang family, Pan Shicheng knows better than anyone else, the old man of the Yang family and his son-in-law almost didn't send this little girl to the sky, and then look at the son-in-law who squeezed his eyebrows, this father also pushed up the foreign mill, and directly sent the matter to Kunming.
"Oh...... That's it! Then I'll go find Daddy Yang. Hum! Don't get too complacent! ”
Lian'er ran away with her mouth deflated, Yang Meng also found a seat to do it, and her father-in-law summoned her to definitely have something to discuss.
"Xingdou, what do you think of the Yang family?"
Ignoring Lian'er's chores, Pan Shicheng's time is urgent, and after talking to his son-in-law, he still has to rush to Guangzhou!
"As long as the cloud smoke is bought and sold, the Yang family's funds are safe, depending on the situation, the Yang family's situation is good now!"
Yang Meng has confidence in his own business, and he has the confidence to speak.
"Wrong! You couldn't be more wrong! We are in business, several times ancient and modern, which business can last a long time? No! But there are countless transactions that have lasted for more than a hundred years, what is this for?
Buying and selling are still those buying and selling, but they have changed people, and the merchants seek profits, which is the basis for their fortune and the basis for their demise. Thin trading is long-term, profitable trading is risky, you count those merchants, how many are discounted on high profits?
There are also a lot of profitable transactions in the Qing Dynasty, such as your family's cloud smoke and foreigners' opium, but these are not serious transactions. Such a deal can be done for a while, but it must not be done for a lifetime! Harming others will end up harming ourselves, although foreigners are not right in the front, but what we are doing is not a good thing.
If your Yang family wants to be safe and secure, Yunyan can only do it for a while, and other ordinary transactions can only be done for a lifetime. The tea goods run by the Yang family are a good business, and if you want to learn from foreigners, it is also a good business.
Don't look ahead, take a long-term view, this life is not enough, there is the next life, and there are thousands of generations! Food, clothing, housing and transportation, as long as there are people, these transactions will not be lost, you have to make good use of the funds obtained by Yunyan, and you must also make good use of the previous veins of the Yang family.
The area of Annan, the border of Tibet, and the area of Sichuan are all the original territories of your Yang family, and you have to defend these territories.
From Annan to the South Seas, the West, from Sichuan, Tibet, Guizhou and Gui to the entire Qing Dynasty, these are what you have to do in the future, businessmen do business, as long as they can make a profit, the benefits are the same, don't measure the business with the thickness of the money, things have to look at the long term, otherwise your Yang family's power is great, compared with the five thousand years of China, it is just a bright epiphany. ”
Yang Meng's previous eyes were not on the Yang family's business, these were just trivial matters for Yang Meng, and he put most of his thoughts on people and utensils.
Father-in-law Pan Shicheng's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face, and Yang Meng woke up in one fell swoop.
When it comes to experience, he is not as good as his father-in-law, but when it comes to the world he has seen, ten Pan Shi are bundled together, and they are not as good as Yang Meng.
"Xingdou Xie Father-in-law advises! I don't know where the Yang family's business should develop? ”
Yang Meng also knows nothing about the business of the Qing Dynasty, and when it comes to understanding the business of the Qing Dynasty, his father-in-law is definitely an expert, and with an expert by his side, Yang Meng opened his mouth directly.
"Looking at the several major merchant gangs in the Qing Dynasty, what they did was nothing more than to connect the north and the south and connect the foreign countries. What they make, your Yang family makes.
Jin Huichao is the largest business gang, and they are the ones who do the most business with foreigners, don't let go of the original business of your Yang family, and then learn their methods, Yunnan, Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Gui are your current territory, and the business of these five provinces has been done, and your Yang family is the first in the Qing Dynasty.
In the future, relying on these five provinces, opening the first line of Annan, and trading with foreign merchants such as Britain, France, and Franco, the territory of these five provinces is not your Yang family?
After doing this, it is not difficult to rely on Nanyang to drive the power of the five provinces to sweep the Qing Dynasty! ”
A business family is a business family, and his father-in-law Pan Shicheng gave not only a route for doing business, but also a route for the rise of the Yang family.
"This business is so huge, why is my father-in-law trapped in Guangzhou City?"
If you open your mouth, you can say it, Pan Shicheng's business plan sounds impeccable, but why is the Pan family useless?
"It's easy to say! It's hard to do! The merchant gangs are not meat dishes, but plates of poison, if you dare to disrupt their business, they will dare to play with you.
Officials, businessmen, soldiers and bandits have been a family since ancient times, each has their own territory, has been a strong dragon of the river, Lixiangyuan does not have this ability, but your Yang family is different, compared with these merchants, your Yang family is a strong dragon with a knife.
Not as much money as yours! The heart is not as ruthless as you! The road is not as wide as yours! What's more, your Yang family still has private soldiers, these together, it is a hot knife, and the merchant gang of the Qing Dynasty is a piece of butter, you can cut whatever you want! ”
"Isn't that just not playing with human nature? If the business means can't be compared, just compare the fists and feet, is this a bit inferior? ”
After hearing this, Yang Meng finally understood that his father-in-law was not a good person, he was teasing himself!
"There are no fathers and sons in the mall! What is human nature? After several times of those big merchants, there are few clean ones, and besides, your Yang family does business, not for one family, but for a province, just say that those farmer tenants who are attached to your grange, don't they also get benefits? The two sides are compared, so this is a deal! You Yang family did it! ”
