Chapter 4: Chance Encounters on the Street
Fang Xiaoyu was surprised by Fang Dingguo's registered patent, and asked his eldest brother carefully to learn that all countries jointly established a patent alliance decades ago, and the registration of patents in any country is valid in other countries, and the patent authority is 50 years, and the patent registrant can collect patent fees within 50 years, which can make Fang Xiaoyu, who plans to make a big invention in the future, very happy.
Later, Fang Xiaoyu gave his eldest brother another trick, and asked him to open a ready-to-wear shop next to the cloth village, publicizing that as long as you buy cloth in any cloth village of the Fang family, you can enjoy the discount of half-price clothing here, and Fang Xiaoyu casually took some clothes on the earth and came out, which was sought after by the majority of people in the capital, so that the business of each cloth village of the Fang family has prospered a lot, and therefore Fang Weiming, the only uncle who is in business among the brothers, also took a fancy to Fang Xiaoyu, the little nephew, and the three grandfathers praised the two brothers greatly. Later, because of this, Fang Dingguo was transferred to a more important farm to experience.
Originally, Fang Dingguo thought that the little brother was going to give him some kind of ghost idea to make a big deal when he came this time, but after seeing Fang Xiaoyu's weird smile, he felt a little uneasy, and he cautiously tentatively said: "Xiaoyu, you don't want to calculate your eldest brother, right?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's a good thing, it's definitely a good thing." β
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's rather ill-intentioned eyes, Fang Dingguo felt a little bottomless in his heart, after the last incident of selling handkerchiefs and opening a ready-to-wear shop, Fang Dingguo no longer regarded this ten-year-old brother as a child. He smiled at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, the eldest brother gave you the benefits from the last time." Fang Xiaoyu pouted: "Little brother, I made you millions, and you only gave me 20,000, which is also called a benefit." β
Fang Dingguo said with a wry smile: "Xiaoyu, you don't know the truth, that cloth village is at home, not mine, and I only got a bonus of 40,000 yuan, which is half of it for you." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about the bonus, this time it's a good thing." You're not in charge of the farm. "Hmm." Fang Dingguo agreed, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what good ideas his younger brother would give him this time.
Fang Xiaoyu continued: "How about borrowing a farm for the little brother to play with?" "Okay." Fang Dingguo subconsciously agreed, and then he reacted: "It's not good, it's not good." The farm will have to pay the family ration at that time, and what if you give a farm and pay taxes. Speaking of this, he peeked at Fang Xiaoyu again and said, "Do you have any good ways to increase the yield of our farm?" "Nope." Fang Xiaoyu replied very dryly.
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo began to pour bitter water and said: "Xiaoyu, you also know that our farm has to pay taxes and grain, and we have to pay a share to the family, and we have to leave food for the farmers, and I can't have anything left, if you give you a place, how can you call the eldest brother to live." Besides, as long as you say it in front of your grandfather, won't it give you a place immediately, why bother to come here with the eldest brother? β
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I just want you to help me smooth out the taxes before I look for you, if I go to a few grandfathers to ask for it, I don't have to pay taxes regularly." Fang Dingguo smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Xiaoyu, my brother is not thin on you, you can't harm me." You said that the strange plants and stones you wanted, my brother didn't try his best to find them for you, you always have to understand your brother's difficulties, this farm resolutely can't give it to you. β
Fang Xiaoyu patted the back of the eldest brother who was afraid that he was half taller than himself and said, "Big brother, I heard that you went to Zuichun Tower last night, right?" If this is to make Sister Qixia know, ...... it. Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo's face became even more ugly, Sister Qixia in Fang Xiaoyu's mouth is Fang Dingguo's wife Chen Qixia, and she is also the daughter of Lang Chen Qun, the official of the Lanfang Empire, the two grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is very good, for this fiancΓ©e, Fang Dingguo is very concerned. Fang Dingguo smiled bitterly: "Business entertainment, definitely business entertainment." Xiaoyu, for the sake of our brotherhood for many years, you can't harm me. β
"Of course, of course." Fang Xiaoyu agreed with a smile, but that look was like a big bad wolf who lured the little white rabbit. Fang Dingguo said: "It's okay to give you a Zhuangzi, but don't think about the two Zhuangzi in the west of the city." "The two farms in the west of the city are the two most fertile of the eight farms in Fang Dingguo's hands, and it is said that they are the two imperial farms given by the emperor after Fang Dingguo's grandfather made war exploits, and the grain yield is very high.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Of course you can, I just want the farm at the foot of Lanting Mountain in the north of the city." "Lanting Mountain?" Fang Dingguo was shocked when he heard this, he originally wanted to give him the farm next to the two farms in the west of the city, the farm by the Nanli River, but he didn't expect that he would actually want the farm in Lanting Mountain.
The farm is the most barren of the eight farms, there is no surplus every year, and even some of the losses have to be paid, to say that the only desirable thing is the area of the farm, a radius of 300 square kilometers, but there are more than 200 square kilometers of mountains in this area, including most of the Lanting Mountain, and only the yield by the Weishui River that flows through the mountain is not bad.
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo said: "Xiaoyu, the farm in Lanting Mountain is too barren, or I will give you the farm in Nanli River." Fang Xiaoyu knew that the eldest brother was for his good, but he had his own plans, he patted Fang Dingguo's back again and said: "Big brother, you don't have to worry about this, I mainly do some agricultural tests, so I need you to help me smooth out the taxes in the first year."
If it goes well, you will be profitable in the second year, and maybe when my trial results come to fruition, even your farm will benefit. "Really?" Fang Xiaoyu's words made Fang Dingguo's eyes light up, he was still quite convinced of this little brother, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I'll arrange it, it's yours from tomorrow onwards, big brother can wait for your good news." Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "You just see." β
After freshening up the next morning, Fang Xiaoyu just went out and found a middle-aged man standing outside. When the middle-aged man saw Fang Xiaoyu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Sun Huaizong greets the young master." "You are?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Sun Huaizong suspiciously and asked. "Young Master Qiyu, I was sent by the eldest young master to help you." Sun Huaizong explained. Fang Xiaoyu nodded secretly, this big brother was really thoughtful about him: "Okay, you go to the farm with me to have a look." "Yes, young master. The sedan chair is ready. Sun Huaizong replied with a slight bow.
Fang Xiaoyu's sedan chair was a small sedan chair carried by two people, and Sun Huaizong and the four masters sent by Fang Dingguo to protect Fang Xiaoyu followed the sedan chair on both sides of the sedan chair. Fang Xiaoyu rarely went out, and it was the first time he sat in a sedan chair. Sitting in the sedan chair, Fang Xiaoyu was indescribably fresh, and the comfortable cushions and backrests made him feel more comfortable than sitting in a car. Looking at the pitch-black sedan roof, Fang Xiaoyu said to himself: "It's really comfortable to sit in a sedan chair, but the light is not good, it would be better if there was a panoramic skylight." β
It is very comfortable to sit in a sedan chair, the warm sedan chair blocks the cool breeze outside, and the shaking up and down makes people feel like they are in the cradle, which makes Fang Xiaoyu, who has just gotten up, feel drowsy again, just when he was about to fall asleep, a noise outside made him wake up suddenly. Fang Xiaoyu sat up straight and found that the sedan chair had stopped, he opened the sedan curtain a little, and found that Sun Huaizong was scolding a young man with a short body in front of him, and the young man was apologizing with a smiling face. Seeing this situation, Fang Xiaoyu asked, "Sun Huaizong, what's going on in front of you." β
Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Sun Huaizong hurriedly ran over and said: "Young master, it's nothing, it's a little beggar who stole buns, and was discovered by the guys at the bun shop, and they fought on the street, blocking the young master's way, so I'll let them get out." Fang Xiaoyu was used to being a flat-headed common man in his previous life, and he hated bullying people the most, he said: "No need, I'll go down and see what's going on." β
Sun Huaizong listened to Fang Xiaoyu's words, immediately opened the sedan curtain and invited him out. Walking out of the sedan chair, Fang Xiaoyu saw that there was a ragged young man lying at the feet of the young man with a short beat. He walked over quickly, glanced at the young man who was obviously a shopkeeper and said, "Don't fight anymore, don't you have any children?" Why is it so vicious. The guy was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and stood aside with his head bowed and said yes again and again.
Fang Xiaoyu personally stepped forward to help the young man up, and found that he was only eight or nine years old, although his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his face was resolute, and he was still holding a bun that was already covered with dust.
Fang Xiaoyu said softly: "Brother, do you have any injuries on your body, do you want to see the doctor." Seeing Fang Xiaoyu dressed gorgeously and following his entourage, he knew that he must be the son of a rich and noble family, and seeing that he was so polite to himself, the young man's face also softened, and he replied: "This uncle, I have nothing to do, Xie Lu thank you for saving me." Seeing the young man's yellow-skinned face, Fang Xiaoyu asked, "You haven't eaten for a few days." β
"Uncle Hui, I haven't eaten for two days." The boy replied in a low voice, a little embarrassed. Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said to the guy next to him, "Go get me two buns." The guy hurriedly ran in to get the buns, and soon the two buns were delivered to Fang Xiaoyu's hands. Fang Xiaoyu stuffed the bun into the young man's hand and said, "Eat it quickly, that bun is all ash, don't want it, you can eat it clean." β
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, the young man was very grateful, but he grabbed the bun and didn't put it in his mouth. Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Haven't you eaten for two days?" Why don't you eat it? The young man said, "Uncle, can I bring these three buns back, my younger siblings haven't eaten for a few days." Hearing the young man's words, Fang Xiaoyu felt sad for a while: "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look." β
Then Fang Xiaoyu turned his head to the shopkeeper next to him and said, "Get me ten more, not twenty buns, and pay the bill together." The bun was quickly taken out, and Fang Xiaoyu touched his pocket to find that he didn't bring any money today. Originally, Fang Xiaoyu rarely went out on weekdays, so naturally he didn't have the habit of carrying money with him. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's embarrassed appearance of groping in his pocket, Sun Huaizong immediately knew what was going on, he immediately stepped forward and ordered the guards to take the buns, threw a few silver coins to the guy and waved his hand to let him retreat, and then whispered in Fang Xiaoyu's ear: "Young Master, before I came, the eldest young master was afraid that you would not have enough funds, so I brought 50,000 yuan of funds, and he also asked me to tell the young master, saying that he was waiting for your good news." β
Listening to Sun Huaizong's words, Fang Xiaoyu smiled, this big brother is definitely a material for big business, and he is really willing to invest the capital, and the shot is 50,000.
