Chapter 48
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and during this time, the people in the business team and the security team were very busy. On the one hand, the two shops stationed in the Qi family to understand the relevant business, contact the original personnel, and prepare for the official takeover - regarding the reception of the field property, especially the field property on Fanyang's side, the crossing public has been entrusted to Zhong Yuanwai to cook. On the other hand, he negotiated with Boss Chen on the issue of cooperation and went all out to strive for the greatest benefits. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after nearly half a month of hard work, great gains have been made in both aspects.
On the Qi family's side, the two shops were originally doing well, and the shopkeepers and guys hired were all veterans who were familiar with the business. After contacting the traversal side for a period of time, they all felt that the new owner was very easy to get along with, and the reward was not less than the original, so they had firm confidence in the original plan to stay, and those who had concerns also dispelled their worries and expressed their willingness to continue to stay and serve, thus greatly reducing the difficulty of the Qi family's persuasion work. The focus of the Qi family's persuasion was basically on those families and servants in the Qi Mansion who did not plan to bring them to Jiangnan, and it was said that the effect was not bad and relatively smooth.
Tianfu Lou is relatively more difficult, Boss Chen was very worried about the conditions proposed by the crossing at first, especially the one that requires a higher share, for fear that these shrewd guys will take the opportunity to elevate him and take the Tianfu Tower that he spent more than ten years of hard work to build as his own. Therefore, at the beginning, the negotiations went very slowly, and Boss Chen even wanted to give up his original idea of cooperation.
The traversal side showed perseverance, and through negotiations again and again, he showed his sincerity, making Boss Chen believe that he was not trying to seize his restaurant, but in order to be able to put all Liliang into work in the future, and would not pass the buck to each other because of the issue of responsibility and power. Zhang Weixin, who participated in the negotiations, even assured Boss Chen in the form of an oath that no matter what time he was, Boss Chen would be the owner of this Tianfu Tower, and this Tianfu Tower would always be surnamed Chen. In the end, after both sides have made certain concessions and compromises, a preliminary agreement has been reached on the issue of principle, and now the specific cooperation text is being finalized one by one, and it is believed that there will be results in the short term.
On the 28th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, Wang Kunjun made an appointment with the head of the Yuxuzi Daoist a few days ago early in the morning, escorted by Zeng Zhilin and Cheng Fei of the security group, with a wild goose that had been bought with great effort, got up and went to Zhong Yuanwai's home in Fanyang County, preparing to finalize the marriage between Wang Feng and Zhong Ziqi, and the Taoist of Yuxuzi was pulled by him to be a matchmaker. According to his plan, today, he will complete the first three of the "six rites" that Yuxuzi said will be completed at this time for marriage - Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Naji, asking for a date, and welcoming in person, and then complete the two items of a sign and an invitation next month, and Zuihou will complete the marriage in the first month of next year, so that it will be a good start in the new year and have a good fortune.
In fact, according to Wang Kunjun's original intention, as long as Wang Feng and Zhong Ziqi are in love, the elders on both sides have no opinions, and they will hold a wedding for them at that time. These cumbersome procedures are a complete waste of time, especially in this winter, it is really a bit fatal to get a wild goose in Youzhou. However, in order to take care of the feelings of Zhong Yuanwai, these forms still have to go.
Because the two parties have already decided on this marriage, so after Wang Kunjun and Yu Xuzi arrived at Zhongfu, a series of procedures went smoothly, and Zuihou also agreed that the 20th of the next month would be the day of acceptance, and the man would come over to give a dowry and hold an engagement ceremony. Later, after Zhong Yuanwai entertained everyone for lunch, he took everyone to the land they bought in Fanyang County to have a look. can only look at it, except for Cheng Fei, who is from the countryside, who once farmed land before becoming a soldier, everyone else knows nothing about land. And even Cheng Fei used to only help during the winter and summer vacations, and he didn't dare to say that he knew the land, not to mention that his hometown in his previous life was in the south, and the situation there was much different from here, and there were many experiences that could not be used here.
1,500 acres of land is one square kilometer. Therefore, Wang Kunjun and others stood on the edge of the field and looked over, and they also had a broad feeling. Because it was the winter break, there were no farmers working in the fields. In addition, there was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, so there is only a white patch in the eye, and there is really nothing to see. After standing at the edge of the field for a while, and after talking a few words with the stewards who were in charge of taking care of the fields here, the former stewards of the Qi family who were willing to keep them, they said goodbye to the bell and returned to the Yuxu Palace.
Wang Kunjun returned to the Yuxu Palace, and only then entered his room, Wang Feng greeted him, shouted and asked for warmth, and quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and then stood next to him, looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to speak. Wang Kunjun knew that his cousin was concerned about going to the Zhong family to propose marriage, although the two parties had already agreed on this marriage, but before he reached Zuihou, Wang Feng was always unsure. He also wanted to tease his cousin, so he took a few sips of tea slowly, pretended to be sad, frowned, looked at Wang Feng, but didn't speak.
This scared Wang Feng, thinking that something had happened in the marriage, and he didn't dare to ask his brother, for fear that his worries would become a reality, so he was so anxious that he was caught off guard. In the middle of winter, I was sweating on my head.
Wang Kunjun almost didn't laugh when he looked at him like this. Seeing that he was so anxious that he was sweating, he stopped teasing him, put down the teacup, then pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Look at your kid's breath, this can't hold your breath." You don't want to think about it, this has been decided a long time ago, how can Zhong Yuanwai regret it. Brother went this time, everything went well, and he has already set up a dowry gift on the twentieth of next month, and the wedding will be held in the first month of next year. ”
After listening to this, Wang Feng realized that his cousin was teasing himself, although he was wronged, he had no place to reason. I had to wipe the sweat on my head, and then not only could I not complain about my brother, but I also had to thank him repeatedly, Xiexie's own brother ran all the way to his own affairs. The only thing that can comfort me is to pray to God in my heart that I must find a powerful sister-in-law for my brother in the future and let him be a "strict wife". ,
Wang Kunjun naturally didn't know this, he was thinking that when the Qi family's property was all received, it would be time to prepare a dowry for Wang Feng. And he inquired from Yu Xuzi, people like Zhong Yuanwai marry their daughters here, and all kinds of dowries to be prepared by their men are customized, and the cost is about 100 times.
Although this money is not very much for him and Wang Feng - according to the fund distribution plan approved by the plenary meeting at the beginning, he and Wang Feng have 700 yuan and 600 yuan of private money respectively, but considering the cost of their young couple's life after marriage, they can save more now, and the cost of purchasing the dowry is more suitable for him, who is the elder brother.
Just when Wang Kunjun was sitting there pondering, Zhang Weixin pushed the door and walked in, and saw that Wang Kunjun had returned, so he sat down next to him and said happily: "You came back just in time, just sent someone from Qi to send a letter here, saying that he had packed up the two mansions over there, and the luggage that he needed to bring to the south was also packed in boxes." His initial plan was to leave for Jiangnan with his family on the first day of December, and both houses were guarded by reliable people. When he goes south, we can move in whenever we want. Because we and the Zhong family's people have already moved in before, the handover and resettlement have been completed, and he has nothing to explain anymore.
I have arranged for the messenger to go to rest first, and I am planning to gather the heads of the committee and the various functional groups together, and when you return, we will have a meeting to study when we will move, and then let the messenger reply to the rest of the staff. Now that you're back, I'm going to call everyone over, and we'll have a meeting at once. Discuss a result as soon as possible, so that the person who delivered the letter can go and call back to Qi Yuanwai. ”
Hearing this news, Wang Kunjun was naturally very happy, which means that they will soon have their own small world, and the various development plans formulated before can also be implemented. So he immediately agreed with Zhang Weixin's suggestion, immediately convened a meeting, and informed all team members of the relevant information, so that everyone was happy.
The other two members of the committee and the heads of all the functional groups soon came over, and Zhang Weixin told them the news sent by the members again, and then asked everyone to express their opinions on how to arrange accommodation in the future and how to carry out the corresponding division of labor.
Everyone was naturally very happy to hear the news, and some even applauded. Subsequently, all the participants had a heated discussion on the topics raised by Zhang Weixin. In the end, everyone's opinions were summarized and basically formed into four plans.
One is mainly proposed by the business group, and it is recommended to live in the city. After all, the living conditions in the city are better, and if you want to carry out scientific and technological research and development, it will be more convenient to buy all kinds of materials in the city, and in the eyes of the members of the business group, the most important thing is that it is convenient to live in the city to take care of those shops.
The other is mainly proposed by the science and technology group, and it is recommended to live in the Qi family's other courtyard at the foot of Baojin Mountain. They feel that the place is larger and relatively independent, which is more conducive to the confidentiality needs of various scientific and technological research and development work. And with the last attempted attack at the inn, some people think it's better to live in an isolated compound like another courtyard.
There is also a suggestion by the security team, from the perspective of good security, they tend to live in the Qi family's other courtyard, but they can also accept living in the city, but it is strongly recommended that everyone live together, which can reduce the pressure on security.
In addition, there is another suggestion put forward by Zhang Weixin and supported by Wang Kunjun, who suggested that everyone should live separately and live in different places according to different functions and divisions of labor, so that they can work more effectively. He even suggested that two or three people should be left in the Jade Void Palace as liaisons, so that they could communicate with Jade Xuzi or Qingchen if necessary.
In fact, there are pros and cons to each of these suggestions, and none of them can be exhaustive, but most of the participants still agreed with Zhang Weixin's proposal. Because whether it is for the business group or the technology group, Zhang Weixin's proposal does not conflict with their proposal, but can take into account the requirements of their two groups. Only the members of the security team did not agree with Zhang Weixin's proposal, because the scattered living of the personnel would inevitably increase the difficulty of security.
After careful research and discussion, all the participants voted and finally Chang's proposal was approved by the majority of the people, and it was decided to set the date for moving on the second day of December. As for the place of residence, it is basically arranged according to the work that each person is responsible for.
For the time being, the people in the business group are all arranged in the city, and the people in the science and technology group, the material management team and the archives are all arranged in the outer courtyard, and the vast majority of the modern materials in charge of the material management team will naturally be stored in the outer courtyard, and the mansion in the city will only store some materials needed for security.
The nine members of the security team were divided into two groups, and three people were arranged in the city, including Qian Yuanshan, Cheng Fei, and Wu Peng, with Qian Yuanshan as the team leader. Among the remaining six people, four people were arranged in the outer courtyard, including Zeng Zhilin, Tang Chao, Yang Xin, and Mutel, with Zeng Zhilin as the team leader. Xu Shaoan is still the leader of the entire security team, sitting in the courtyard outside the city, responsible for overall control. Wang Feng was mainly stationed in the city as a mobile liliang, and only acted as a personal protection for team members when they traveled between the city and the city.
In addition, considering that there is a medical center in the city, the team's medical room is arranged in a separate hospital outside the city. It's just that Dr. Lin usually works harder and often goes to the city for medical treatment. The financial team, the counterpart exchange group, the audit team and other functional groups will arrange accommodation for them on both sides because they need to shuttle between the city and the city and the number of people is also small. As for Zhang Weixin's suggestion to arrange a liaison officer in the Yuxu Palace, it was temporarily shelved, because as various tasks were carried out, manpower would definitely be tight, and it would be difficult to transfer manpower to be a liaison. After all, the liaison officers can only be responsible for liaison, and it is impossible to expect them to carry out work such as scientific and technological research and development or business in the Jade Void Palace.
In the face of such a voting result, Xu Shaoan, as the head of the security group, did not argue too much, but said that he reserved the resolution on behalf of the security group, but since the resolution has been made, the security team will definitely do its best to complete the tasks assigned by the team.
The other participants also understood the concerns of the Security Group and unanimously expressed that they would cooperate closely with the security measures of the Security Group in the future and would never impose additional burdens on the Group.
After the meeting, the committee had a separate exchange with the main members of the security group, and Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin both encouraged Xu Shaoan and other members of the security group, saying that everyone believed in the ability of the security group and believed that they would be able to complete their work very well. It was also promised that the committee would give priority to the security team in terms of resource security, so that they could complete the expansion of the team by recruiting locals as soon as possible, so as to build a better security system. In addition, the committee will also give priority support to the research and development work of the science and technology group in terms of weapons, so as to strengthen the strength of the defense group from the side.
In the face of such favorable conditions, Xu Shaoan could not say anything, but once again expressed the determination of the security team to perform its duties. Then he went into his room with Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin and other key members, and devoted himself to the formulation of relevant security jihua.
After sending Xu Shaoan and other members of the security team away, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin went their separate ways. Wang Kunjun went to find Yu Xuzi and informed him of the news, so that he could be mentally prepared. Zhang Weixin informed the Qi family messenger who was still waiting for the news of the decision here, and asked him to bring the news to Qi Yuanwai, and at the same time wished Qi Yuanwai a safe journey.
The next day, Wang Kunjun personally made another trip to Zhong Yuanwai's house, first, to inform him of the news, and second, Yuxu Palace's own carriages were only three, which were not enough, and he needed to borrow a few carriages from him to help run the Li - the most important thing was the gold and silver. Zhong Youpeng naturally agreed to the request of this prospective in-law, and said that he would let his son Zhong Shiwen personally take someone to go a day earlier. Wang Kunjun thanked him again and again, and then rushed back to Yuxu Palace to participate in the preparations for moving.
