Chapter 177: The Gambling Contract
Han Fei's decision to divide the people's declaration into the north and south editions is the best plan to deal with the current situation, Dahua's territory is so large, it is impossible to include all the affairs of the state capitals in one newspaper, and this sub-edition is equivalent to adding another newspaper, and the content of the northern and southern editions can also complement each other.
Wang Ruolan thought about it for a while and said: "The plan of the non-brother is the best, so should Dahua Shengshi Publishing House be split into two branches, north and south?" ”
Han Fei shook his head and said: "No need, the main business of the publishing house is the civil declaration, as for other businesses, the timeliness requirements are not high, the publishing house is still in Jinling for the time being, if we settle in the capital, then move the headquarters to the capital, and set up a branch in Jinling." ”
After a pause, Han Fei said again: "In short, Jinling is the foundation of our family, no matter where we go, we must retain some industries here, so that we can advance and retreat." Even if we take root in the capital, we can't leave the industry here, we must send a competent person to stay in the management, and when the child grows up, we will choose a capable person to be in charge here! ”
"Big brother is right, our Han family's ancestral land is here, and we must not let it go!" Xue Baoqin said.
Han Fei took a few sips of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Just now Qin'er talked about the problem of message transmission, and I thought of a way, which is to imitate the post station of the imperial court and establish our own message transmission place......
"Big brother, you want to build a post station? How much does that cost? Xue Baoqin exclaimed.
"This is just a preliminary idea, it is impossible to establish a national post station now, we can't afford that price, of course, our post station can't be called 'post station', that is taboo."
Han Fei smiled and continued: "A place similar to a post station must have the convenience of providing food, clothing, housing and transportation for internal personnel, and it can also make profits externally for a long time. Well, the reporter station can also be located in Yuelaiju to save costs. ”
"Once the conditions are ripe, in addition to the county government and the main traffic arteries across the country, every 30 miles on the official road, a Yuelaiju should also be set up, so as to form a complete transmission network, even if something happens thousands of miles away, it will not be transmitted to the civil declaration headquarters in a few days!"
The reason why Han Fei wanted to form the Han family's post station system also had an implicit idea, that is, he wanted to form a national intelligence organization. However, these words are highly classified, and he cannot say them in public.
"Brother Fei, to build such a huge transmission network, I'm afraid that there will be thousands of horses alone, and the cost is too great, how can our family have so much money?" After listening to Han Fei's words, Wang Ruolan exclaimed.
Han Fei said with a smile: "I don't plan to build it in a short time, three years, three years, five years, this is a long-term goal of our family, once it is completed, the benefit is needless to say, our family will take the lead everywhere." Money is not a problem, the profitability of chambers of commerce, pharmaceutical workshops, and beauty streets, as you all know, perfume is a profiteering industry, and its profit margin has not yet been brought into play! ”
Han Fei looked at Du Lan and said, "If my estimate is right, this time Du Lan has brought our family a big deal again!" ”
"Ah, Sister Lan, what good deal did you bring?" Several women stared at Duran and asked suspiciously.
Du Lan was about to speak, Han Fei waved his hand and said: "Don't force her, this matter has not been finalized, I don't allow her to say it casually, and I will know when Tianlin Quan comes back from Suzhou tomorrow." ”
Han Fei rushed to the Chamber of Commerce to deal with the backlog of affairs the next day after returning to Jinling, and by the way, he informed Xue Zhen of his idea of stepping down as the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, this is only a private communication between the two, and the handover of the president must be resolved by the Council of Elders.
As a result of their deliberations, the two decided to wait until late July to convene a council of elders to take over the matter of the president.
"Second brother, for my brother I heard a news, that Xu Zheng, the first talent in Jinling, threatened to defeat you in the township test, and many people in Jinling think that he has a good chance of obtaining Xie Yuan!" Xue Zhen said suddenly.
Han Fei smiled and said, "Just by his words, he is very shallow, a frivolous person, even if he has a higher ranking than me?" Big brother, to be honest, I didn't think about any false names like Xie Yuan at all, as long as I passed the exam, it was enough to get the qualification to participate in the examination! ”
"The second brother is open-minded, and he fell down for his brother, haha......"
Han Fei was busy in the Chamber of Commerce all day, and in the evening, he took the car home. After a day's hard work, he felt a little sleepy, so he leaned back on the soft seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Suddenly, he felt the car stop, and there was a commotion outside. He was about to ask, when the coachman reported: "Young Master, Xu Gongzi of the Xu family in Jinling and others ask to see you!" ”
Han Fei opened the curtain and glanced at it, and saw that a group of students had stopped in front of the car, one of whom was Xu Zheng, who was known as the "No. 1 Talent in Jinling". He hurriedly got out of the car door, stood on the pedal in front of the door, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "What is the purpose of your sons blocking Han's way?" ”
A person next to Xu Zheng shouted: "We are here to send a gambling appointment, does Han Gongzi have the courage to gamble?" ”
Han Fei smiled faintly and said, "Are you here to write a war letter?" I don't know what you're going to bet on, and what are the bets? ”
Xu Zheng took out a piece of paper from his arms, walked to the side of the carriage, handed it to Han Fei, and said: "This is the gambling contract, surnamed Han, let's take this township test as a bet, whoever loses will bow to the other party in front of the students who come to Jinling for the exam, in order to avoid someone from defaulting on the account, and set up a word as a basis!" ”
"What a No. 1 talent in Jinling, really arrogant!" Han Fei sneered, tore up the gambling contract three times and two times, threw it on Xu Zheng's face, and shouted angrily: "The surname is Xu, you are doing death!" Your Xu family is also a scholarly family, why did you come out of this idiot, where did you read all the sage books? ”
Han Fei pointed at the students who came to coax again, and shouted, "And you...... You got a reputation for showing off your talents, and you got carried away? The imperial examination is a ceremony for the selection of talents by the imperial court, and it is the grace of the saint to the students, what a solemn thing, you are so frivolous that you want to gamble on this? You are tired of living, it's your business, Han doesn't accompany you! ”
"You-" The students were speechless when they were scolded by Han Fei, and Xu Zheng was even more ashamed, his face turned red, and he trembled with anger.
This is the street, there are a lot of pedestrians, Xu Zheng and others originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to force Han Fei to agree to the gambling contract, but they didn't expect it to be the result of being humiliated.
Near the entrance of the street, an old man in his fifties with an extraordinary temperament happened to witness the whole process, glanced at Han Fei in the car, and said to an entourage beside him: "That car must be Ying Tianfu's little Sanyuan Han Fei, you go and invite him for a while!" ”
