Chapter 162: The Poor Boy in the Slums
(Sorry, but today there is only one chapter of 4,000 words.) Tanuki deleted an item in the registry, and as a result, the notebook hung up. And I'm a senior computer novice.,zuihou finally asked someone to reinstall the system.,Depressed~!)
What would you do if one day you had amazing wealth?
This is something that many people dream about in their spare time, especially those at the bottom of society. Silk and satin, brocade clothes and jade food, zuihou glorious return to the hometown......? Splurge? Perhaps. Of course, this has no practical significance, and will even be sneered at by some successful people, saying that they must take it step by step in a down-to-earth manner......
But YY is innocent, even justified. Because if people don't often fantasize about the future of beauty, they will numbly accept the present.
Tang En is quite miserable now, and even the blades he carries are mortgaged, but the result is still not enough for the other party's breezy words. Of course, this is the auction house, which is the place where gold coins speak, not to mention that you can't grab it......
However, although he reluctantly accepted the current situation, Tang En also made a decision in his heart, since he couldn't buy it, he could only wait for the results of Zuihou to come out, and then follow the robbery......
But at this moment, a voice came,
"Mr. Arthur, I support you. Is a million enough? Or two million?"
If what Viscount Vernal said before was awe-inspiring, then this sentence is undoubtedly crushing arrogance.
Is 1 million enough? Or 2 million...... The tone is casual, as if the woman is going to the vegetable market to consider whether to buy cucumbers or cucumbers...... Well, it's really not even a problem.
However, although these words were light, if they fell in the silent venue, it was undoubtedly a ten-magnitude earthquake.
Rumble......
The crowd was in a clamour, turning their heads to look around for someone to speak.
Two million, that's a mountain of gold! You must know the ordinary little aristocratic family. It's only hundreds of thousands of gold coins in a year, but now someone is throwing it out so casually, how can they be embarrassed......
Although the nobles pay attention to taste, but to put it thoroughly, it is not the gold coins that support their superiority? Besides, there is so much money, I am afraid that I will donate a noble title if I donate!
So, after the initial shock. Some people began to wonder if this person was messing around and deliberately stirring up the situation...... But then they dismissed the idea. Because the person who spoke stood up on his own, the position ...... It's the first row!
Dressed in black, not gorgeous. Medium countenance, not outstanding.
This kind of heavy clothing is generally the most popular among middle-aged and elderly people, but this person has an excessively young face, which can be seen from the deliberate fluff on the side of the mouth has not completely turned black.
It's a face again, and he's still a half-sized child, is it possible that young people from outside are so powerful now...... Everyone was in a trance. From their eyes, they can naturally see that the other party should not be a nobleman, and the unconcealed wit looks like a businessman...... But can a businessman sit in the first row?
Compared to those who were at a loss, the nobles of Riva City who were sitting in the first row all changed their faces. Among them, Viscount Vernal's face was the most ugly. After all, the other party just picked up his words, and even said the point, it is not an exaggeration to call it a slap in the face. But he took a deep breath, as if he had restrained something. He opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, Zuihou just nodded.
The young man smiled and nodded to Viscount Vernal. Then he bowed and saluted: "Mr. Arthur, long time no see." ”
Don touched his nose, his face complicated: "Long time no see, Alan!"
......
"Alan, that's a familiar name......
"Well, that's my groom's name. ”
“...... There seems to be one of my servants called this. ”
However, the crowd reacted this way, because the name was indeed common in other worlds, especially in farms. Because the farmers are not educated, Zuihou is often lazy to make such simple strokes.
"Wait!" A fat-headed and big-eared wealthy merchant suddenly became excited after thinking hard, "The Atang merchant group...... Washing machine!"
"Uh......", "Whoa!", "Scare......"
or stand in shock, or gasp, or change in complexion...... Everyone finally came up with such a person.
During this period, which commodity sold the most hot, and which merchant group was the most eye-catching? It was undoubtedly the washing machine that swept the entire southern part of the empire as soon as it was exhibited. No one knows how much money they make from washing machines, only that the transport ships that have been coming and going on the Lenau River lately are almost all loaded with this thing......
And Allen is the supreme helmsman of this business group!
Phantom Moon Decisive Zuihou was sold for 510,000 gold coins and was won by Tang En.
And there is no doubt about this result. The auction house was originally a place where gold coins spoke, but now it is clear that there is no competition. It's better to send a favor and make a good fate.
Although they didn't know each other, everyone gave Donn a round of applause. You must know that this is the person who made Alan bow solemnly, and when will he not stammer?
This is an item of zuihou in the auction, and it is naturally dissolved when it is auctioned. But everyone didn't leave for a long time, looking at the two people on the stage who kept talking.
"Alan, Xiexie!" Tang En said happily as he took the ground-level mental method into his arms.
"Uh, Mr. Arthur......" Alan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Alan can't stand your thanks, without you, I would still be a poor boy who guards the city hall to sell houses...... Besides, it's your own money, and you can make 40% of the profit from selling the washing machine. ”
At that time, the contract that Don made at random with Lena and Allen was indeed divided into four or three parts.
"Haha, anyway, you've done me a great favor today. After saying that, Don En patted Alan on the shoulder and smiled, "I've heard it all, you're doing a great job." Well, it seems that I haven't been mistaken before. ”
Allen's eyes instantly turned red, and he remembered that Don had patted him on the shoulder like this before, saying that he would definitely become an outstanding businessman. He bowed again, and his tone was choked: "Alan no, he will not live up to Mr. expectations!"
"Here you are again......" Don reluctantly helped Alan up, "you are now the leader of a merchant group, you don't have to bow at every turn." ”
"No, no...... Allen calmed down a little and said solemnly, "Sir, you are the true leader of the Yatang Merchant Group." When I go back this time, I will announce that I will give up my position. ”
"Uh......" A wealthy businessman who was standing not far from the two of them, ready to wait for the opportunity to say hello, was dumbfounded on the spot, he couldn't even believe his ears.
Let's give up the position of the leader of the Tang Dynasty Business Group?
Since the development of the business group, the value has been immeasurable. As a leader, whether it is the wealth in your hands or the corresponding status. It's an absolute admirable existence. But now Alan and the person in front of him only said a few words, and they were about to give way......
"Nonsense, you are the leader of the Tang Dynasty Merchant Group! you have been, and you will always be!" Tang En said with a serious expression.
Refused, he actually refused...... kept muttering, the rich businessman felt that he was going crazy, and then he was full of jealousy, you shouldn't get out of the way, I'll ......
"No ......"
Without waiting for Alan to continue arguing. Tang En cut off a word: "This matter is so decided, and you are not allowed to mention it again in the future." ”
Everyone is equal in leadership, not to mention guarding such a gold mine. But Donn knew what he was capable of, and the idea of a washing machine was something he came up with, and that was right. It was he who made the beginning of the merchant group. But if it weren't for Allen's painstaking management, how could the merchant group have achieved today's brilliant achievements.
"Don't think about it, I'm actually lazy, I can sit and collect gold coins without working. haha!”
Alan opened his mouth to speak, but looking at Don's resolute look, he had to reluctantly laugh along.
Seeing this, Tang En also had a lot of feelings in his heart. Although the young man in front of him has changed from an empty-handed kid to a wealthy businessman in a very short period of time. But some things haven't changed much, the clothes are still the same, and the personality is still ......
In fact, there is no need for Allen to say anything about relinquishing the position of leader, the merchant group has been leading in his hands for a long time, and I believe that no matter which aspect it is, it has already left a deep trace that belongs to him. It can be said that if Alan doesn't let him, there is nothing Tang can do. Not to mention that the previous contract has been lost, and even if it is, it is just a simple sharing agreement, and there is no mention of who will be the leader at all.
But now Allen still said the words of abdication after only a few words of exchange. This boy who came out of the slum had an almost stubborn mind - whoever gave me bread would return cheese.
"Well, will it have a bad impact if you swept their faces today?" Don En diverted the topic and asked as he looked at Vernal and the others who had not left in the distance.
"No!" Alan shook his head, "they're only thinking about how to befriend me right now." ”
"Oh?" Don raised an eyebrow.
"That's ......"
After Allen's careful explanation, Don finally knew why.
Soon after Don left Lyam City, Lena succeeded in improving the washing machine and quickly produced a batch. This thing is undoubtedly valuable, but how to sell it becomes a problem. Zuihou Alan had an idea and thought of promoting it through an auction. The idea proved to be successful, and the washing machine caused a violent reaction in aristocratic circles and was soon in short supply.
But no matter which shijie, it won't be so simple to do a good job. Soon, the aristocrats, business families, and so on in the city were eyeing this piece of fat. At this time, Alan knew that it was impossible to make a fortune alone, so after thinking about it, he took the initiative to visit several nobles and merchant groups with the highest status in some nearby cities to propose cooperation. After some checks and balances in the middle, those shili also gave up their intention to swallow it alone and turned to full cooperation.
Alan has the manufacturing method in his hands. The aristocracy had strong connections, and the merchant families had a complete marketing route. With the cooperation of these liliangs, the sales of washing machines have embarked on the road of rapid development.
Since this method is feasible, Allen naturally continues to promote it, and the southern cities of the empire are "eroded" one by one. Now, Alan has set his sights on the Northern Market, and Riva City is one of them.
In fact, Alan has only been here for half a day, but those viscounts and nobles in the city with a keen sense of smell have surrounded him. Everyone knows that as long as you get the consignment right of the washing machine, it is equivalent to getting an assembly line for the production of gold coins, and the benefits are self-evident.
But now Allen's vision is high, and he has even come into contact with the Grand Duke in Brandu, so he really doesn't need to care about these little viscounts in the north in front of him. Coupled with a medium-sized city like Riva, there is not much need for a sales channel for washing machines, so he only gave three places.
With more wolves and less meat, these nobles suppressed their colleagues while constantly trying to befriend Alan. This is also weishenme In the auction hall just now, after those viscounts knew that Alan knew Tang En, they simply gave up the competition for the ground-level heart method. Otherwise, even if Don has more gold coins. After all, Don is just an outsider, and the nobles are undoubtedly more dominant here.
"Tsk, that's good, that's good!" Tang En slammed his mouth twice, and affirmed in his heart that Alan was the most suitable candidate to be the leader of the business group.
"Mr. Allen. At this time, an old man with a red face walked over, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I am the owner of this auction house, I didn't know you came, I didn't greet you personally. Well, it's your stuff, isn't it?"
After saying that, he handed over a potted dagger and a wooden box.
Needless to say, the dagger was naturally the one that Don had mortgaged before. Alan had seen Don kill people, and he remembered this dagger even more vividly, and it was by virtue of this that he recognized Donn in disguise. As for the wooden box, inside was 510,000 golden tickets.
Seeing this, Don and Alan looked at each other and smiled. Undoubtedly, this old man did this, naturally wanting to obtain the right to sell washing machines.
Alan took the dagger and handed it to Donn, ignoring the wooden box underneath.
Just when the old man's face showed disappointment, Alan spoke, "Can you auction the washing machine here?"
"Uh......" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ecstatic, "Yes, of course you can...... It's an honor for the auction house!"
"Well, that's a great cooperation!" Alan nodded.
Since the other party has an auction house, it has the ability to sell. In addition, Alan met Tang En here today, and when he was in a good mood, he naturally agreed. Of course, the latter is the most important reason.
“xiexie...... xiexie ......" The old man kept bowing and saluting, and his tone was excited.
All this was naturally seen by the people around him, and immediately hundreds of scorching eyes stared at the old man. There are three places in total, and now one has been determined, how can this not make them envious, jealous and hate!(To be continued.) )
