Chapter 041: Reaching a Consensus
Chapter 041 Consensus
"What? You don't agree? ”
Zhao Tianqing couldn't believe his ears, and blurted out the questioning words.
Thinking that she Wang Qifang made such a big mistake, he forgave him generously, and now he only made such a small request, Wang Qifang actually refused without even thinking about it, she, does she have a little consciousness as a member of the Zhao family, or do you have other ideas?
"Yes, the concubine can't agree"
Wang Qifang's tone was soft, but her attitude was still firm.
"Y-Do you still hold a grudge against the original thing? Or do you think that your wife used bills to offset the bills and let you make up for your private money in vain? Zhao Tianqing was a little angry, and the words he said were not very good, "Qi Niang, don't forget, your sons and daughters are all surnamed Zhao, and they all rely on the Zhao family to shelter them."
"Of course the concubine understands," Wang Qifang bit her lip, as if she had made up some kind of determination, she stretched out her hand to stop Zhao Tianqing, who was almost about to run away, and pushed him back to sit on the kang, while she squatted at his feet, hesitantly said: "The reason why the concubine body did not agree is precisely for our children."
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
Zhao Tianqing heard that Wang Qifang had something to say, held back the anger in his heart, and asked bluntly.
"Second young master, the concubine will ask you a question first, do you say that the current Zhao family is the master's Zhao family, or your Zhao family?"
Wang Qifang put her hands on Zhao Tianqing's knees and asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean? Of course, it's the master's Zhao family, but I'm the son-in-law, and the Zhao family's industry will be passed on to me in the future-" Zhao Tianqing responded as expected, but when he was halfway through his speech, he happened to meet Wang Qifang's eyes, thinking of what his wife had done before, and his confidence in the latter words became weaker and weaker.
"Second Young Master, you are wrong," Wang Qifang shook his head, his fingers lightly drawing on his knees, "The Zhao family is the Zhao family of the master and wife, and it is also the Zhao family of the eldest young master, the second young master and the third young master, but it is not the Zhao family of my new brother."
The meaning is very clear, Wang Qifang does not believe that Zhao Tianqing can get most of the Zhao family's property in the end.
Even if he gets it, Zhao Tianqing will not only have a son in the new brother, and at that time, the Zhao family's industry may not be divided into many shares.
"You~~"
Of course, Zhao Tianqing heard what Wang Qifang meant, although she was very dissatisfied with her selfishness, she couldn't blame anything, after all, as a mother, she must first consider the interests of her children.
"Second young master, to put it mildly, today I will hand over the three spindles spinning wheel to you, and when he grows up and can inherit the family business, it is estimated that there will not even be a cart left in his hands." Wang Qifang smiled helplessly, and pointed to the pile of bills and account books on the small table with her chin, "If I hadn't found these things, I wouldn't have thought of these." That's right, the second young master is indeed the sister-in-law of the Zhao family, but he is not the only son, nor is he the only son-in-law, not to mention that there is a sinister brother above, just the third young master who is favored by his wife in the back, the Zhao family's property will not all fall into your hands in the end. ”
"I know, if I say this, the second young master will definitely be unhappy. But you have to think for me, my wife is a mother, and I am a mother. But my wife has two sons under her knees, but I only have an only son by my side...... When I gave birth to a new brother and sister, I had a difficult birth and injured my body, and the doctor said that it would be difficult for me to conceive again in the future......"
Speaking of this, Wang Qifang's tears flowed out, falling on Zhao Tianqing's knees.
Feeling the slightest coolness, Zhao Tianqing also sighed faintly. It's good that Wang Qifang didn't mention this matter, but once he mentioned it, he was very guilty. I think that when Qi Niang gave birth, he was not around as a husband, if he was busy with family and national affairs, it would be fine, but he was caught accompanying the concubine to raise a baby - fortunately, the Li family and the Wang family did not pursue it, otherwise a favorite concubine's hat to kill his wife fell down, and he would go to the ancestral hall again.
"Second young master, Qi Niang doesn't want the Zhao family to prosper, but she can't do the stupid thing of making wedding dresses for others," Wang Qifang saw that Zhao Tianqing's face was a little loose, so she continued to add fuel to the fire, "Actually, if the Zhao family is now the second young master, you are in charge, let alone the three spindle spinning wheels, even if I cede all my shares in Qingzhou Plantation, I don't have a second word, after all, we are husband and wife, and mine is the second young master's." But ......"
"Second young master, Qi Niang is a woman with shallow knowledge. But I still think that instead of making wedding dresses for others in vain, it is better to run your own industry with your heart," Wang Qifang paused, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Tianqing's reaction, and saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "When I went to the warehouse yesterday, I saw the scale of our shop and the freight situation, and I really had some ideas."
"Oh, what thoughts?"
Zhao Tianqing was noncommittal to Wang Qifang's words, and there was no expression on his face, and he asked in a light tone.
"In this case, I think our warehouse is mainly to help people doing business in the capital, short-term and short-distance delivery of goods, provide temporary warehousing business, and open up freight routes in hundreds of villages and towns near Gyeonggi. In addition to the water transportation has not been involved, but for all the land freight into Beijing, our warehouse accounts for nearly seventy percent, and there are as many as seven or eight horse teams under our command, and there are hundreds of horses and men......"
Wang Qifang snapped her fingers and told her in detail what she learned in the warehouse yesterday. After seeing Zhao Tianqing nodded, he continued: "Although we account for seventy percent of the business, but affected by the off-peak season of merchants, the business of our warehouse is also busy and free, take the summer months as an example, the peak season of spring has passed, and many things are affected by the weather, resulting in many merchants reducing the number of freight shipments, and the business of the warehouse has also shrunk significantly, and the income of a few months is not more than the profit of a month after the year——"
"So what do you think?"
Zhao Tianqing knows these situations very well, and he wants to know the results more than these tangled processes.
"Well, I thought, in fact, we can use the good reputation of the warehouse and the good business routes to expand the scope of business."
Wang Qifang talked about some of the logistics and express delivery operations she had seen in her previous life, although she didn't know much about this industry, but for a businessman like Zhao Tianqing who was quite flexible, maybe just a little hint could inspire more ideas.
"Courier?"
Zhao Tianqing closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly, "Well, it's okay."
"Second Young Master, let's use the original trade route to experiment first. If it is really feasible, it is completely possible to open up the trade route to every province, government and county in Dazhou, and when Zhao's freight network is all over the world, then our warehouse will not become the leader of this industry? At that time, presumably the position of president of the Confucian Business Association will be none other than the husband."
Wang Qifang knew that Zhao Tianqing wanted to get the textile, printing and dyeing technology of Qingzhou triangular cloth, and wanted to use it as capital to compete for the next president of the Confucian Business Association.
Because, to participate in the election of the president of the Confucian Business Association, there is one of the most critical conditions - to make outstanding contributions to the development of business, or to open up new industries, and create huge profits.
"All over the world?"
I have to say that Wang Qifang drew a very large and tempting cake for Zhao Tianqing, and once this cake is formed, it will completely belong to him, and it has nothing to do with the Zhao family and Master Zhao
The lady is right, what if you get the three spindles spinning wheel, it also belongs to the Zhao family, only the Zhao storehouse is his Zhao Tianqing's industry.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianqing's gloomy face finally showed a smile, he patted Wang Qifang's hand, and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect my Qi Niang to have such a brilliant business acumen, which is a hundred times stronger than Aunt Su."
Wang Qifang pursed her lips and smiled, and when she raised her hand to cover her mouth, she pulled her hand out of Zhao Tianqing's palms without a trace, "By the way, when it comes to Aunt Su, the second young master hasn't gone to see her since he came back, right?" Otherwise, let's go see her together, anyway, she still has the blood and bones of our Zhao family in her stomach."
"Oh?" Zhao Tianqing raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect Wang Qifang to be so generous, and said with a bit of banter: "Let's go together?" ”
"Yes, although I have some 'envy' of Aunt Su in my heart, Qi Niang is the second young grandmother first, and then a woman." Saying that, Wang Qifang stood up and actively urged: "Let's go, let's go and see her while it's not too late." Hehe, I guess Aunt Su already knows the news of your return, maybe I'm waiting for it now."
"Okay, oops, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
Zhao Tianqing stood up and straightened his clothes, and walked towards Aunt Su's small courtyard with Wang Qifang.
"Second young master, you're back, I-" Aunt Su had a big belly, and before she could finish listening to the next person's reply, she greeted her with excitement on her face, and when she saw the woman following behind Zhao Tianqing, her face was immediately difficult to look at, and her coquettish tone was also out of tune, "Slave, slave, slave has seen the second young master, and has seen the second young grandmother."
Forcibly enduring the dissatisfaction and sour water, Aunt Su bowed unwillingly.
"Get up, you're still pregnant, don't hurt the child"
Seeing this, Zhao Tianqing hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and suddenly thought that there was still Qi Niang behind him, and his outstretched hands were taken back, and his right hand was clenched into a fist and coughed to his lips, "Cough, why don't you help Aunt Su up?" ”
Yuzhu and Xiuzhu saw that Aunt Su's tears were only rolling in their eyes, for fear that Wang Qifang would be unhappy to see them, so they hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Aunt Su.
"What the second young master said is that it's not at this time to talk about the rules, and when you give birth to a child safely, it's not too late to make rules."
Wang Qifang pretended not to see it and said coldly.
"Yes, Second Young Grandma"
Lowering her head and avoiding the mist in her eyes, Aunt Su replied with a nasal voice.
"Second young master, Aunt Su is heavy and needs to rest, since she has nothing to do here, let's go back first."
Wang Qifang sat in the room with Zhao Tianqing for a while, and after listening to him chatter and ask Aunt Su some trivial things, she reminded her loudly.
"This ......"
Zhao Tianqing paused, his gaze swept Aunt Su's bulging belly, and some of the longings in her body faded a lot.
"Or maybe the second young master stays in Meiyuan and lets the other girls wait for you to sleep?"
Wang Qifang glanced at Yuzhu and Xiuzhu who were serving on the side, and sure enough, on Yuzhu's round and fair face, two suspicious red clouds suddenly rose
