Chapter 1297: Profiteers
Private room next door.
Wang Jiadong and three businessmen who were also from Tianjin ate and drank together. They were very powerful, and their entourage included not only sturdy house slaves, but also beautiful maids.
The maid serves the wine, and the house slave guards it.
On the side, Xiao Taohong sat on a stool, holding the pipa and playing and singing. The old man stood with his head held high.
Wang Jiadong and the others had been eating for a while, drinking too much, their brains were hot, and they began to speak freely.
Wang Jiadong blushed, stuck out his big tongue, pinched the wine glass and said, "Brothers." This time you are in my favor. ”
"That's right. It's all thanks to Brother Wang. ”
"Thanks to Brother Wang, there will still be such good things in the future. Please don't forget us. ”
The three people at the table were talking, pinching their wine glasses and clinking glasses with Wang Jiadong, full of flattery.
Although they are all Tianjin businessmen.
But there are big and small financial resources.
Wang Jiadong just claimed that his family fortune was one million, not bragging, and even modest. The Wang family's various assets such as fields, shops, and merchant ships in various places in Beizhili add up to more than one million.
The three of them are also big businessmen, but compared to Wang Jiadong, they are trivial.
This time, led by Wang Jiadong, they made a big deal together and made a lot of money.
This is the God of Wealth, you have to pat yourself on the back.
Wang Jiadong drank this glass of wine and became more and more proud. Putting down the wine glass, he hugged the delicate maid beside him, sat in his arms, and said, "Speaking of which." This time the court is the God of Wealth. ”
The pretty maid wanted to refuse to welcome back, and the pink fist greeted Wang Jiadong's chest, but she didn't obey her voice.
Wang Jiadong reached into her arms and molested her in public. While saying triumphantly: "This year's grain harvest is abundant, and the grain is worthless." ”
"Food. It's big business everywhere. We, the big grain merchants, buy grain in places with abundant grain production and transport it to places where there is a shortage of grain, and it is a large amount of money as soon as it changes hands. ”
"Now that Hebei has a bumper grain harvest, business is not doing well."
"There's no shortage of food anywhere."
"The moment of truth. Our Han Emperor took action to purchase grain from the people. Stabilize food prices. The price is still high. Hehe. ”
"We first got the news and bought grain from farmers and small households at a low price, and then sold it to the imperial court at a high price. Tsk tsk. ”
"Not only is the business simple, but it's also easy to sell. The Imperial Court. Oh my God. Real money, no bullying. ”
"Hahaha."
Speaking of this, Wang Jiadong couldn't help laughing.
To do business, you have to have a lively brain.
He doesn't have a good impression of the Han Dynasty, and he doesn't have any bad feelings, so it's so-so. But now, he likes the Han Dynasty.
When he was in the Chu State, the imperial court would not buy grain at a high price when there was a bumper harvest of grain and the grain was cheap and the peasants were hurt.
The peasants had a bumper grain harvest and were having a hard time.
In a disaster year, sell the land and sell the children.
The Han Dynasty is good.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty. took out the money from the state treasury and the internal treasury and smashed it down, and forcibly raised the price of grain.
We're making a lot of money too, which is really cool.
"Who's to say it isn't. O Son of Heaven, our food and clothing parents. ”
"From now on, I will be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. If anyone says that the Han Dynasty is not, I will fight with him. ”
"Hahaha."
The three people at the same table also laughed, and you said in my words.
Even the maidservants and house slaves next to them laughed.
Wang Jiadong put his hands up and down the maid in his arms, and gradually reacted, becoming more and more arrogant, and said: "Our great man is the wronged man. ”
"I heard. He opened a large textile workshop outside the palace. Let the eunuchs and palace maids weave cloth to make money. It's really a barefoot peasant background, and he doesn't talk about decency. How can there be an emperor who allows palace maids and eunuchs to weave cloth to make money? ”
"How can the subjects of the world not despise him?"
"I've heard of it. The emperor's food and clothing in the harem was extremely simple. The emperor is a big rice bucket, and meat is indispensable for every meal. But it's lamb, duck, chicken, pork, and other ordinary meats. ”
"Where is it like us, every day the mountains and the sea are delicious. Shark fin abalone. If you're in a good mood, you can slaughter the ploughing cattle and eat a sauced beef or something. ”
"Does the emperor dare to eat it? Expensive. Especially the ploughing oxen. A ploughing ox is worth ten strong laborers. He didn't dare. ”
"This emperor is not yet at ease with us."
"And didn't all the money he saved end up in our pockets? He's not wronged, and what is it? ”
What he said became more and more presumptuous, but everyone present was drunk and bold, and continued to flatter.
As for the domestic slaves and maidservants, they don't know the benefits and harms, and they are also eating and laughing.
Xiao Taohong and the old man who were singing next to him knew very well, but they were not interested in exposing Wang Jiadong.
Xiao Taohong quickly finished singing, hugged the pipa, and got up to salute Wang Jiadong.
This is a reward.
After asking for a reward, it's time to go.
At this time, Wang Jiadong had already reacted, and the maid in his arms was very willing, but he was not interested. Let go of the maid, looked at the little peach with her eyes, showed her hue, and said, "Little peach." You sing in the restaurant, coming and going in the wind and rain. It's hard too. Follow me in the future. ”
After that, he said to the old man, "Old man. Make an offer. ”
He is also shrewd and can see that Little Peach is actually controlled by the old man.
Xiao Taohong's face was expressionless when she heard this, and she complained in her heart. She, a singer, wants to enter these big families and become a concubine after all.
When the old man heard this, he bent down and said, "Please forgive the prince, the little peach has no price." ”
"Huh. Is there no price, or is it not sold? Wang Jiadong was stunned for a moment, feeling insulted, and his expression turned cold.
"If you don't sell today, you have to sell it. The master is going to take the little pink red pill at night. Wang Jiadong sneered, and his eyes roamed around Xiao Taohong's body presumptuously.
Little Peach was ashamed in her heart, her delicate face was covered with red glow, and she lowered her head slightly to look at the floor.
The old man can't see where he is, this is a bastard. With such bastards, there is nothing to say. The old man sneered, walked to Wang Jiadong's side, and whispered a few words.
"You !!!" Wang Jiadong's eyes widened, and the wine also woke up for a while, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous for a while.
"Lord Wang. Please enjoy. The old man sneered again and bowed.
Wang Jiadong took a deep look at the old man, and then turned his head to look at his house slave. The house slave immediately took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels and handed it to the old man.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." The old man accepted the money, bent down without smiling, and turned away.
This scene.
The three people at the same table were taken aback, and they looked at each other for a while.
We, Tianjin's Wang Million, actually let go?
Eat the meat to your mouth and give up?
I can't.
The old man's voice was so soft that they didn't hear it clearly.
"Brother Wang. What background do they have. Don't you dare to mess with it? A businessman asked curiously.
The other two immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Wang Jiadong curiously.
