Zheng Xi's vision is still enough to impress Shen Sanwen, you must know that you must have talent in everything you do, be able to have a keen sense of business, because you see big things in a small way, at least you are a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and has a vision.

However, if the Zheng family passed on the losses of these materials to others, then Shen Sanwen would not be interested in this vision.

The most important thing in doing business is integrity, you know that this thing will inevitably lose, with the foresight of the foresight, transfer the risk to others, and the character will be greatly discounted.

Others will naturally not care if Shen Sanwen takes over, but when they interact with the Zheng family in the future, they will be careful.

Overall, this is an approach that outweighs the cost.

If Zheng Xilai chooses him, he will definitely not be like this, but the family he belongs to is only a side branch, and the head of the Zheng family, who has no business considerations, is naturally more willing to use the simplest way to deal with this matter.

So, at the recent banquet, the descendants of the Zheng family began to throw money and entertain guests, hoping that the participants could recommend such a channel to them and accept the business of this batch of pen and ink inkstones.

To be reasonable, there will be no such taker for the six masters, there are too many luxury goods, and there is only one acquirer, and if it is deposited in the hands for too long, it will be a loss. But I couldn't bear the price given by the Zheng family, which was very generous.

Many people have moved their minds and want to do a resale business.

The Zheng family is reluctant to trouble and expects to make a one-time move, after all, if something goes wrong in the future, it is best to offend only one family.

As a result, it dragged on for three days.

The two nephews of the head of the Wang family have such thoughts, if they can help the family make a lot of money, how much is also a credit, the people of the Zheng family said very bluntly, that is, there is a lack of money turnover, and the cost price they know is indeed consistent with what the people introduced by the Zheng family said.

Fortunately, the power of the Wang family is centralized enough, and major matters must be approved by the old man, especially large financial transfers.

Today's families are all officials in one line, and the other is in business, and the rest of the side branches take care of some miscellaneous affairs, and business is just for the service of officials, and being an official can ensure the normal development of business activities.

The status of the business is average, but for the sake of the family, the feedback given by the family is enough to live a more nourishing life. In family affairs, business affairs have a considerable say.

The three generations of the Wang family sat around the table to discuss the recent family arrangements, those younger generations have better official reputations, and should focus on supporting, arguing about those sons and nephews who are well-educated and deserve a better education from their masters. Occasionally show off what you've done in your vein recently.,The baby you got.。

Warm and picturesque.

The head of the Wang family was naturally accustomed to such a happy and relaxed atmosphere, but at this time, he heard a news that he hadn't expected.

The third generation of the Wang family, a young man who was not a businessman who was not literate, found the gap in everyone's silence and stood up.

"The head of the family, recently the Zheng family plans to sell the business of pen and ink inkstone, can our Wang family enter it and get a piece of the pie."

This matter actually caused a small discussion in the family.

The head of the Wang family frowned, "This matter is not something you can handle. ”

Xiao Young was a little unconvinced, but his attitude was still respectful and said, "There are only a few small workshops under the Wang family, and now the imperial court advocates education reform, this ink inkstone is a necessity, the Zheng family's capital mobilization is inconvenient, and the confidence is insufficient, if our Wang family can seize this opportunity, take the first step in this business, and then rely on the relationship between the cousin and the concubine, we can create a large amount of wealth for the Wang family in the short term, and the Wang family can make a living in the long term." It is also good that the uncles who are officials can have a little more in their hands. ”

This is very agitating, everyone knows that Wang Bin has a close relationship with the concubine, even if he is in the hands of King Yin for a round of errands, he is still entrusted with a heavy task by Shen Sanwen, if he is willing to dredge one or two, this thing can be done nine times out of ten. Wang Bin has been the eldest son of the Wang family for so many years, why not make some contributions to the family?

In fact, the Zheng family's intention to give up the pen, ink and inkstone, which they called small profits, and turned to their own silk cloth business, has long been known in Luoyang City. However, the Zheng family's business is not small, and most of the families who can accept it have their own business, and they don't dare to covet it if they don't know the trends of the imperial court.

But the Wang family has this ability, the Wang family has no shortage of money and food, and the powerful Wang family does not succumb to the Cui family in several major families. More importantly, this is an area that the Wang family rarely touches, and there will be many important variables in developing new industries, which will not get worse, but there is a great chance of getting better.

The wealth is moving, and a few older people were just warned by the head of the family and pretended to ignore this matter, but when the juniors brought it up, everyone was ready to move again.

What will happen if you take over?

Seeing the sudden change in the atmosphere, the head of the Wang family wrinkled a Sichuan character on his forehead, "This matter is to compete with the imperial court, if the Wang family participates, now the status in the imperial court is not guaranteed, there is no need to lose a big one." ”

If the status of the court is not guaranteed, it will be a lot of trouble to do business, without the convenience provided by the Wang family in the officialdom, the local officials are embarrassed, and there is no point in making wedding dresses for others.

Xiao Young still refuses to give up, "It's better to ask my cousin to inquire about it, and if it is feasible, then act, otherwise this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will not come back if it is missed." ”

A group of people began to persuade, even if they don't do it, it doesn't matter, Wang Bin is the people around the horse naturally know the stakes, he said that it is okay for us to re-enter if he can do it.

You can be invincible.

The head of the Wang family nodded this time, the Wang family's investment in the horse should receive some returns, and Wang Bin ran around for the rights and interests of the trade route, and the income was no different from that of other families.

This made Lao Wang very unhappy.

It is human nature to be close to the noble and lowly, everything is a bowl of water, how can anyone be close to you, Shen Sanwen obviously understands this very well, the business of pen and ink inkstone is not small, and the head of the Wang family thinks that he can also give it a try.

At this time, Wang Bin was going down the Grand Canal, cruising the south in a high-profile manner.

Shen Sanwen said that the south is close to the ocean, warm in winter and cool in summer, the scenery is beautiful, Hangzhou under Jinling is a fairyland on earth, he has a dream, that is, to build a house covering thousands of miles in Hangzhou, and then build towers and temples around, repair the broken bridge of the lake, enjoy the autumn moon of Pinghu Lake, the remnant snow of the broken bridge, the sunset of Leifeng, the evening bell of Nanping, the spring dawn of Suti, and the beautiful scenery of the wind and lotus in the courtyard.

But after arriving, Wang Bin felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he finally understood the meaning of building this scene.

As for the Lingyin Temple mentioned by Shen Sanwen, it is said that there is a sacred place of the immortal family where the gods and Buddhas were born, and now it is just a dilapidated small temple, which was built in the first year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, two hundred years ago when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, countless Buddhist scriptures were burned, and the temple was once defeated, but fortunately, the monks in the temple returned here after several years of seclusion, so as not to break the incense.

It was not until Master Hui Dan of the Sui Dynasty came here to promote Buddhism, left a disciple, and accepted fifteen disciples, and the temple began to have pilgrims and gradually became popular.

Because Hangzhou is not prosperous, it is sparsely populated, and it is extremely cold and desolate. After looking for a long time in Hangzhou, someone knew the way, and before he arrived, the passer-by used the excuse that the snakes, insects, rats and ants here were gone, and the voice he muttered when he left was obviously that it was too deserted here to be afraid of ghosts.

Wang Bin:.

However, the host of Lingyin Temple is a very interesting person, in the wilderness of the mountains to read a lifetime of scriptures, the mentality is very peaceful, no matter how disgusted Wang Bin's eyes, the words reveal how uncomfortable the mood, he is calm, indifferently invite Wang Bin to listen to the scriptures, feel the nature here.

Flowers bloom and bloom, but it is a passing cloud, everything starts again, the monk is dedicated to seeking the Tao, being in a secluded place, is not more comfortable than the city, and the people who come are sincere believers who worship the Buddha, rather than the laymen who force the Buddha to bless them.

Wang Bin gave a hundred taels of sesame oil money very spiritually, and the old monk's mood fluctuated a little.

Old monk: "Sure enough, it's a young man who is related to my Buddha." ”

Wang Bin: "."

The trip to Hangzhou is not wonderful, if it is not for waiting to visit the prosperous Jinling, Wang Bin will definitely go to Luoyang to find Shen San to ask about it.

I don't know if it's the first few monks who say he has a relationship with the Buddha, in this world, the rich people who are generous to the temple are all related to the Buddha, so what's the point of those poor people believing in the Buddha, the Buddha's guide said that they have no relationship with the Buddha.

Will they not be able to do the path of worshipping the Buddha, will they not be able to understand the deep meaning of the Buddha, and will they do things that the Buddha dislikes, so that they will get twice the result with half the effort, or will they simply do useless work?

It can be seen that worshipping the Buddha is not something that the poor can do.

It's scary.

The little nephew of the Yang family around him couldn't understand Wang Bin's various operations at all, and he came all the way to Hangzhou to find such a temple, and left directly without enshrined an immortal position, what a sincere worship to the Buddha!

There are such people in the world who are dedicated to Buddha!

Wang Bin went to many places in Hangzhou, and after confirming that there was no beautiful scenery that Shen Sanwen said and what he longed for, he left his footprints everywhere, and left regretfully.

When he arrived in Jinling, he received a letter from the head of the Wang family.

In terms of business, he didn't have to worry about it, his life mission was to spend money and enjoy, and making money was a matter of other side branches.

As the most noble son-in-law of this lineage, after befriending him with the powerful people of Luoyang, his good brother will be above 10,000 people under one person in the future, and even where King Yin has also brushed the impression score, in the future, he will be one of the backers of the Wang family.

But since his father asked him about this, it was obvious that the whole family wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Pen and ink inkstone?

Wang Bin knew in his heart that according to the labor required for pen and inkstone, according to today's market prices, even the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury, plus the treasury of the princess's mansion and the Ministry of Culture, may not be able to support the cost of the entire education industry.

What's more, according to Shen Sanwen's cautious temperament and His Majesty's attitude, I am afraid that only part of the proceeds of the Ministry of Culture and Culture will be used, and paper products are still not cheap after the previous reform and price reduction.

It's not a good idea to meddle in the pen and ink inkstone now.

He suddenly thought of the pencil that Shen Sanwen had given him before, and Shen Sanwen had said that pencils were much more convenient than brushes!

If education reform replaces writing with pencils, investment will be lost.

But this letter could not be replied to casually, it was not his father's intention alone, everyone was waiting for his reply.

He can't tell the meaning of the colt, nor can he let the entire Wang family question his status and role, let alone give them the illusion that this is a chance.

Since Hu Shang appeared in Beijing, he did not hesitate to dump the pot to Hu Shang.

replied: I have heard that Hu Shang has made things, the skills are magical, the cost is low, and there is the merit of Zhuge Wuhou Mu Niu Liuma, which is beyond the reach of manpower.

After all, it is the meaning of opposition, and the reason is given, the Hu merchants in Luoyang are indeed very evil, they are here for this business, the shop is not big, and the tone is very big, which makes people feel bottomless.

Between this back and forth, it is not only the young man who wants to make meritorious contributions to the Wang family who is anxious.

When the people of the Zheng family heard that the Wang family intended to take over, they were also very panicked, and the head of the Wang family said that they had no intention of doing this business, but the juniors of the Wang family hurriedly inquired about the work, and wanted to enter the market, and the whole people did not dare to move.

After all, robbing business with the Wang family will cause big trouble in the future.

The head of the Zheng family hinted several times that the head of the Wang family should not take over, but the head of the Wang family turned a deaf ear, the relationship between his son was hard, and there was news of the person in charge, so why listen to this person's nagging.

During this period, the Wang family did not give a quasi-news, if it was really caught, the Wang family could only blame the younger generation for not dredging up the relationship between the horses, so the offense was not too ruthless, even if the Wang family wanted to retaliate in the future, it could also be compensated in other conveniences.

But if someone else buys it, won't this compensation also be saved?

The Zheng family is also worried, and even while waiting, Zheng Xi has repeatedly exhorted to adopt the second plan and sell at a reduced price. The Zheng family's transfer of business is not accepted by others, and they have no right to talk about the resulting price reduction.

When the head of the Wang family received the letter from his son, after being circulated by a group of people, everyone finally began to come to their senses, there is no free lunch in the world, and what the Zheng family wanted to change hands this time was a hot potato.

The head of the Wang family warned his son and nephew to keep the news, as soon as this issue related to his son's future is the most important thing for him and the entire Wang family, leaking secrets is not a good thing, although Wang Bin's letter is vague, but the attitude of opposition is very clear, which can be seen from the words.

Second, this is only a small part of this game, the family is also looking forward to the results of this game, the Wang family does not need to bear the loss, the small morale blow is acceptable, which is not a fundamental damage to the family as a whole.

After the Wang family responded, the Zheng family strongly rejected the inquiries of other families and directly adopted the second plan.

The market price of Luoyang's pen and ink inkstone reached an unprecedented low value, triggering tens of thousands of people to rush it.

Many people say that the Zheng family is crazy!

There are also poorer scholars who say that these families have finally opened their minds and no longer embarrass their readers. The high price once discouraged them, and they had to think hard before they dared to write when they practiced calligraphy, wrote poems, and wrote essays.

With an extra piece of paper, the calligraphy will be better, and the gap between them and those families will be much less.

Although there were many episodes in the middle, the intervention and withdrawal of the Wang family, and the dispute of the Cui family, Shen Sanwen was inevitably happy to receive such news.

Most of the poor could not afford to buy more supplies even if the price dropped, so they had to wait for the money to buy them, and this generation of scholars could not get used to pencils for a while.

In the future, the aristocracy will still be able to continue their popularity, and the poor will be able to continue their education in a better way.

Very good.
