"Tomorrow?"

Yang Tianhong was stunned: "Wait until tomorrow?"

Meng Qi kept rubbing his hands, his face full of regret and anxiety: "I didn't expect that Gongzi would take a fancy to these jade pendants." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This is already the fastest speed. ”

Yang Tianhong behaved quite generously: "It's okay! Tomorrow will be tomorrow." But Ben Gongzi tells you that these jade pendants are really my appetite. You'd better not let me down, or if you won't be able to get anything out of your hands when the time comes. Otherwise, Ben Gongzi will let you walk around without eating. ”

In a word, the identity of the gentleman suddenly came to life.

Meng Qi showed a little fear on his face, but he still smiled and said, "In that case, please put some deposit in the small shop." ”

"No problem!"

Yang Tianhong took out two silver tickets with a denomination of 500 taels and placed them on the table casually.

Meng Qi didn't reach out to take it, just glanced at it, and continued to smile and say, "These are not enough. ”

Yang Tianhong was a little surprised, and his gaze became quite calm and cold: "A deposit of one thousand taels of silver is not enough?"

Meng Qi slowly stroked the thin beard at the corner of his lips, smiled, and had a kind attitude: "You have to put at least five thousand taels of silver tickets here, so that the small shop can ensure that you can see those jade pendants tomorrow." ”

Yang Tianhong's eyes were firmly fixed on him: "Five thousand taels? Why?"

Meng Qi was not afraid of this kind of momentum oppression with obvious ferocity, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Don't hide it from Gongzi, this dragon-shaped jade pendant is a pawn object that the contemptible man just received this morning. Although it is a job, it is barely worth five hundred taels of silver. If the son really likes it, he will take it for 1,000 taels of silver. It's just that this kind of thing is too coincidental, not long after the guest left on the front foot, Childe, you followed up on the back foot to buy a jade pendant. One before the other, the difference is as high as three thousand taels. Although this kind of trading is very profitable, there is really no certainty. So, Childe, you'd better leave five thousand taels of silver tickets, and I promise that you will be able to get all the jade pendants tomorrow." ”

Yang Tianhong didn't speak, just stared at Meng Qi coldly with his eyes. Meng Qi did not show weakness, raised his right hand, pinched a crisp snap of his fingers, and in the inner room covered by the thick door curtain, four fierce men with fierce looks and evil expressions suddenly ran out.

Yang Yuan, the guard standing next to him, dodged in front of him and shouted, "What, are you here in a black shop?"

Meng Qi glanced at him and snorted: "Although I am dark, I will not deceive guests, and I will never deal with liars. Give you both the choice to either get out on your own, or get beaten up and sent to Shuntianfu. ”

Yang Yuan stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the knife on his waist, and roared angrily: "You dare!"

Without waiting for Yang Yuan to make a move, Yang Tianhong had already blocked his movements, and said lightly: "Don't use a knife or a gun." ”

Then, his gaze turned to Meng Qi, who was standing opposite, and his expression became calm.

"You're a smart guy. Now, I'll give you a chance. ”

As he spoke, Yang Tianhong took out a small and exquisite jade bottle from the Qiankun bag, gently placed it on the table, and said in an extremely serious and serious tone: "I want to make this thing 200,000 taels of silver." You have a whole day to think about it. By the way, my surname is Yang, not Wang. ”

......

If you want to completely clean up the Xuanhuo Camp, the first condition is to have sufficient funds as a backing.

The outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion relied entirely on the support of the Grange outside the city. Although there is some income, it is only a few hundred taels of silver per year.

In the eyes of ordinary people who have no knowledge, Yuanqi Dan is a fried soybean with a better appearance. Only wealthy merchant families, high-ranking officials and dignitaries who are well aware of the stakes will truly understand the value of this elixir.

One Yuan Qi Dan is 200,000 taels of silver, which is definitely not expensive.

It's just that Yang Tianhong wants to make this business long-term, not just a casual transaction or two.

He needed a trustworthy and discerning partner who was successful in business.

The wealthy merchant family is of course the best choice. However, the pool is so deep that God knows when it will reach the bottom.

Being able to open a pawn shop in a place like the capital where every inch of land is at a premium means that it has a certain background and assets. Yang Tianhong noticed that "Yuzhuxuan" was not a day or two, and Yang Dashan took a few people to wander around this new store from time to time. The people who came and went were recorded by them, and they also secretly calculated the approximate transaction figures of "Yuzhuxuan" during this time.

Today is the last step of Yang Tianhong's temptation.

Yang Tong pawned the jade pendant and pretended to be a guest to buy it back at a high price. Then he opened his mouth and needed a large number of similar objects, causing the shopkeeper to fall into it, and buy other jade pendants from Yang Tongli at a higher price.

It's an age-old trick that few people really see through.

Because the word "profit" is the head, in front of money and silver, few people can keep a clear head.

Yang Tianhong was not worried that the Yuan Qi Pill left for Meng Qi would be swallowed up and hidden. This person has a decent amount of knowledge, and he has some guts, and his age looks like he is in his twenties. If he has handled the matter properly, and when he comes over tomorrow and hears satisfactory news, then he will be the partner of choice.

If he looked away, Meng Qi really dared to hide the Yuan Qi Pill privately, then Yang Tianhong had a ruthless means to deal with him.

Hua Jun's cultivation is not just a casual talk. Grandmaster Jindan made a move, destroying the city at least and destroying the country at worst.

What's more, behind Yang Tianhong there is still the entire powerful Guiyuan Sect.

......

There are usually two stone lions erected at the gate of rich homes.

The Meng family has two stone pixiu erections.

It's just that I don't know why, Pixiu's butt is carved very big, and his body is also very fat, if it weren't for a hideous beast head, he would be two deformed stone pigs. Moreover, it is the kind that has a lovely smile and is full of extremely strong desires.

It's a secret room.

The walls are made of stainless steel partitions, the mezzanine is filled with loose material, and there are dark passages under the floor to communicate with the outside world. Lock the door from the inside of the house, and no one from outside can get in at all.

There's no better place to talk than this private conversation.

Meng Xiong is Meng Qi's father and the head of the Meng family's generation.

Although the chamber is narrow, the airflow is very smooth. The butter candle reflected Meng Xiong's tall figure on the wall, illuminating his chiseled face.

The father and son sat opposite each other, their eyes focused on the jade bottle containing the Yuan Qi Pill.

Compared with his father, Meng Qi is undoubtedly short. He said with a solemn expression: "I have already let the old people in the clan test it, this is indeed the Yuan Qi Pill." ”

Meng Xiong nodded lightly and said, "Hmm": "If it is a fake, it is absolutely impossible to take it out and pawn 200,000 taels of silver." It can only be said that this person is quite scheming, and his methods are also very calm, even if he doesn't care about the business of this Yuan Qi Pill, it is worth intersecting. ”

Meng Qi raised his head, his eyes were a little eager: "Father, there are no more than two ways to solve this matter. One is to intersect and become allies from then on. The people who can easily take out the Yuan Qi Pill at will are either monks outside the square or high-ranking officials and dignitaries. I checked, that person's surname is Yang, his name is Tianhong, he is the son of the late hussar general Yang Jing of our dynasty, and is now a loyal military captain of the imperial court, leading the Xuanhuo battalion, and the knight of the martial cavalry. ”

Meng Xiong was noncommittal and asked, "Tell me about your second method." ”

The expression on Meng Qi's face remained unchanged at all: "Everything in this world has its value. This Yuan Qi Pill can be sold for 200,000 taels of silver, and some people are willing to pay 300,000 or even 400,000 taels of silver to buy it. If we only look at the immediate benefits, we can draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and focus on customers. If you want to go more long-term, you can also borrow flowers to offer Buddha and seek more stable and powerful friends. ”

Meng Xiong glanced at his son: "You want to kill Yang Tianhong?"

Meng Qi calmly replied: "It's just a way to cope. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not in favor of that. This person has a very high ability to resource, and instead of being an enemy for petty profits, it is better for everyone to stand together and share interests. ”

Meng Xiong fell silent.

In the decades that he has served as the head of the Meng family, the family's power has been steadily expanding. No matter what period of time it is viewed, the Meng family cannot be regarded as the fastest growing family on this continent, but it is definitely the most stable family. At any time, the expansion of the family and the accumulation of wealth have never stopped. Although there are more and less of them. Over the past few decades, Meng Xiong has seen the rise and fall of too many other wealthy merchant families, and has always used them as an example, constantly reminding himself and correcting the direction of the family. In his hands, the comprehensive strength of the Meng family has faintly become an extremely large wealthy family.

What is 200,000 taels of silver?

When you dig the bottom floor of this secret room, you can see neatly arranged terracotta jars. The amount of silver contained in it was as high as a million taels.

This is just a secret money storage point used by the Meng family for a rainy day.

Meng Xiong's insight and ambition are great. He is well aware that if he only holds wealth but has no power, the whole family will one day become a pig to be slaughtered. To this end, the Meng family has done its best to cultivate the younger generation. It is a pity that among the children of many families, there has not been even a single talented genius. Among them, the best one is only to be admitted to the Jinshi and serve as the governor in the Great Chu State.

This is clearly not enough.

Meng Xiong was very patient. He has a set of quantitative theories unique to businessmen, believing that as long as there are enough groups of outstanding family disciples, the process of quantitative change to qualitative change can be triggered. Therefore, even if it is his own parent-child Meng Qi, he must be separated to operate the store separately in accordance with the family rules and family motto, and then conduct an asset audit every year, and decide on his personal rewards and punishments according to the income figures, as well as the future succession order.

When Meng Qi brought back the Yuan Qi Pill, Meng Xiong's eyes that were aware of the world had already keenly sensed that his son had fallen to Yang Tianhong's side. Although the tone of Meng Qi's tone did not change in the slightest when he said the two methods, even he did not realize that he had subconsciously developed a deep desire for power and power.

After all, the Yuan Qi Pill is not a mortal thing.

Although this kind of thing is very common in wealthy families, no one can take it out at will like Yang Tianhong, without taking a penny, and leaving the decision to the other party.

What kind of courage and courage is this?

Perhaps, just one Yuan Qi Pill is not enough to enter the eyes of that young man?

He either has a profound cultivation or has a large amount of Yuan Qi Pill.

The problem is that Yang Tianhong's current official position is low, and he can't talk about power at all.

Moreover, this person also asked for a knighthood.

As soon as he thought of this, Meng Xiong immediately realized that he had made a mistake and missed a crucial part.

Yang Tianhong is only 16 years old this year.

If you are a genius who deserves a full investment, you must add the important premise of age in front of all relevant information.

Meng Qi saw the hesitation in his father's eyes, so he spoke again: "Father, have you forgotten that Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the ancient Qin State, is not in charge of the national fortune precisely because he took a fancy to the alien son who was hostage in the Zhao State?"

Meng Xiong pondered for a moment, and slowly bowed his head: "That's it, you prepare, send someone to Yang Mansion to send an invitation card, and invite him to come to the house for a banquet." ”

......

The word "wealth" is the most intuitive expression only from the material aspect.

Yang Tianhong must admit that when he received the invitation, he was really surprised. He originally thought that the owner of "Yuzhuxuan" was just an ordinary wealthy businessman. But he didn't expect that the other party turned out to be the famous Meng family.

It's like you have a good project in your hands and you're in a hurry to find an investor. Originally, I just wanted to get hundreds of thousands of yuan in entrepreneurial funds, but I didn't expect the project to be favored by behemoths such as Vanke, Tencent, and Alibaba, and directly smashed hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Meng family has always been very low-key. Even if the banquet is for a person like Yang Tianhong, who has long been designated as a worthy investment object by the head of the family, it is still not hyped up. Led by a servant in black uniforms, Yang Tianhong and several guards walked into the tall and heavy red-lacquered main entrance of the Meng family.

The area of the Meng family's mansion is very large. Walking through the foyer, you will find a long corridor with twists and turns. It was only a few minutes before and after, and although Yang Tianhong's expression remained unchanged on the surface, his heart was full of shock.

The Meng family is too rich.

The bricks on the floor are all silver marble of good quality. This kind of stone is the best of the marble, with a delicate texture, a round luster, and a faint silver light reflected in the sunlight. Both the material and the price are far beyond ordinary white marble.

As far as the eye can see, there are as many as thousands of pillars in the winding corridor, all of which are golden silk nanmu that one person hugs. The cornices and tiles on the corridor are specially made blue-gray, and Yang Tongzu, the guard, was born in a firing tile kiln, so he naturally knew this kind of valuable building materials made of high-quality clay.

In the backyard of ordinary rich and noble people, you can see red flowers and willow green everywhere. The Meng family is different, strange stones, giant trees, birds and beasts together constitute a beautiful scenery in the garden. After thousands of generations of royal searches, the number of Chaohu stones in private homes has been extremely rare. But here, Yang Tianhong saw as many as 100 boulders of more than 10 zhang. Tall palms in the tropics, drought-tolerant red poplars, and coniferous pines endemic to snow country can all be found in Mengjiayuan. Especially in the quiet places of the corridors, there are even patches of lotus flowers blooming in the sun, and red-crowned cranes with long legs and white feathers take a leisurely walk in them, pecking at the pond fish swimming under the aquatic plants.

As long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to buy these things. The key is how to keep these rare ornamental species alive. This requires extremely skilled gardeners, trainers with special skills, and professionals who regularly maintain the gardens. The so-called "three-point cultivation and seven-point nourishment", just in terms of maintenance, the Meng family has to invest a large amount of silver every year.

If there is a mansion, there must naturally be a beautiful maid.

The nine songs of the cloister are a general way of living. Every time he walked through a corner, Yang Tianhong could see two maids of the Meng family waiting side by side, waiting for him. These girls should be around sixteen to eighteen years old, and their appearance ranges from those who are pure and elegant, those who are beautiful and cold-faced, and those who are charming and charming, beautiful and refined, and so on...... In short, the beautiful faces that can be imagined in the world can be seen everywhere in this corridor, and there are everything.

Clothing is the key to complimenting a woman's beauty. Although she is a maidservant, the material of the clothing is expensive lake silk and Shu brocade. Among them, there is a single horse with a price of up to 1,000 taels of silver "Hundred Flowers Brocade". When it comes to jewelry, these handmaidens have even made some of the rich ashamed of themselves. The jade worn with him is made of top materials, the pearl and jade hairpins are exquisitely made, and the pearls that fall on the earrings are large and round, which shrouds the whole person with a special luster.

As many as hundreds of beautiful slaves and maids, regardless of food and clothing, are a sum of silver unimaginable to ordinary people. "Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. This statement is not without reason, beautiful women are born with traits in some aspects, and it is normal to have more expenses. The poor man envies the beautiful ladies of the rich family, but he can't do anything about it, that's the reason. It's just that the number of beautiful maids in the Meng family is too much, and even a monk like Yang Tianhong, who has already built a foundation and looks down on money, fame and fortune, can't help but be a little blushing and warm.

More money and less money is not as simple as it seems. Ten people with thick gold rings on their fingers, that is a vulgar and vulgar nouveau riche. People who have luxurious clothing materials but no gold and silver decoration on the surface are educated and wealthy people who understand the meaning of the word "low-key".

Meng Xiong and Meng Qi, father and son, stood on the steps outside the reception hall, saw Yang Tianhong and his party from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward. Next to it, there is also a group of people who are supposed to be accompanied by guests.

"Young Master Yang is here, and the despised house is shining! Please, please!"

Meng Xiong is very good at talking, and as soon as they meet, he blurts out compliments. This is the instinct of a businessman, and it is also the ability that has been cultivated by many years of wandering and crawling among all kinds of people.

Yang Tianhong smiled in return, and at the moment when he opened his lips slightly and wanted to speak, suddenly, the exquisite treasure lock hidden under the clothes on his chest released an extremely intense hot feeling.

It was no longer a change from cold to warm, but with a hint of burning. It's like a tongue suddenly touching hot tea at 40 degrees, although it won't burn the tip of the tongue, there is always a slight discomfort.
