Chapter 902, two major events

Han Shigui poured a glass of wine alone and said:

"You should know that the Wei family has suppressed our Han family's winery in recent years, they make their own wine, and exclude our winery. For this reason, Lao Yu has invested 10,000 taels of funds to build the largest restaurant in Chang'an City, but because no one can operate it, he cannot fight against the Wei family, and he has not been able to open. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone below couldn't stop sighing and said, "No, if this day goes on like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be like those refugees." The Wei family is really treacherous, asking us to cut the price of wine by half, so can we still live. ”

Han Shigui smiled and said, "I wish my brother, be relieved." How could Han sit idly by. This is the first thing I want to say, today my Han family was fortunate to meet two nobles, although they are young, but on the experience of opening an inn and the secret recipe of winemaking, looking at Yangzhou, I am afraid that it is invincible. They have agreed to cooperate with our Han family, which is really a great blessing for the Han family. Han Shigui raised his glass to the Yue sisters and said, "The two moon shopkeepers, thank you for your charcoal in the snow." Please fill this cup as a token of gratitude. ”

Yue Wuyan said with a smile: "Master Han is really polite, our sisters fled from Chang'an City to this place, and we didn't expect to get Master Han's blue eyes, which is really a blessing for our sisters." Master Han rest assured, from now on, with our sisters earning a penny, they will never forget the Han family. ”

Han Shigui nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll hand over this inn to the two of you." The Four Seas Inn is famous, and it is a pity that it disappears once it is. Wouldn't it be best to let the Four Seas Inn be reborn in Yangzhou?"

Yue Wuyan and Yue Chengcheng smiled when they heard this, and they immediately knew Han Shigui's abacus in their hearts.

The Four Seas Inn is not small in the northwest area, and there are several semicolons, but after the main store was destroyed, the rest of the branches also had difficulty developing for a while. But this fame has long been spread, and now a large number of refugees have moved south, if it is named after the Four Seas Inn, it can use this existing fame to gain a large number of customers. Moreover, the Four Seas Inn has been incorporated into the Han family, which has also invisibly expanded the influence of the Han family. The two girls understood it in their hearts, but they didn't object to it, rebuilding the Four Seas Inn was not only beneficial to the Han family, but also had always been Yue Wuyan's wish, and since he proposed it at this time, it was natural to achieve a win-win situation. The two girls immediately poured a full bottle of wine and said: "Master Han is really generous, then our sisters will also say here, in the future, half of all the income of the inn will be handed over to the Han family, and our sisters will never take any more points." "

Han Shigui was even more pleased when he heard this, and said, "Okay, this matter is settled." The Four Seas Inn will open on a certain day, and everyone will definitely come to cheer!"

Everyone raised their glasses and stood up, congratulating Han Shigui and the Yue sisters together. Yun Niang said: "Boss Yue, we have become neighbors again." Yue Wuyan also said: "It seems that the fate of the slave family and the boss of Yun Niang is not shallow, please take more care of the little sister in the future." ”

Yun Niang raised her glass and said, "You're welcome." ”

Toasting and celebrating, Han Shigui beckoned, everyone sat down again, Han Shigui said: "A few days ago, Hongdu Mansion suffered a great disaster, when the alien invasion, tens of thousands of people died in the war, more people were displaced, my Han family mobilized a large number of materials to help, and now the disaster has been roughly recovered." However, Chang'an, Kyoto, was also hit by the same catastrophe, and it was a hundred times more severe than Hongdu, and Kyoto was almost reduced to ruins. Hundreds of thousands of people have become refugees, and now there are even more people living in poverty.

My Han family is the head of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and my ability is greater than that of the general chamber of commerce, and my natural responsibility is greater. Although we are businessmen, we can't forget the national disaster, if it weren't for today's people to govern martial arts, how could the Han family be prosperous today. Now that the society is in difficulty, all of us here should take a responsibility that we can bear. Today, official ships have been dispatched to transport refugees south, but the efficiency is extremely low. I am going to allocate 500,000 taels of silver to aid the victims, including the craftsmen who rebuilt Chang'an City, and send another 1,000 fast boats to and from the Central Plains day and night to pick up the refugees and relieve the pressure on Chang'an. That's the second thing, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Changzhong suddenly became unusually quiet. Some people couldn't believe it, some people were unmoved, and some nodded silently. Although Han Lun was a little drunk, at this time, it suddenly seemed that all the alcohol had disappeared together, and his mind became extremely clear.

After a period of silence, someone finally stood up and arched his hand: "Master Han, I think this matter is inappropriate, and it needs to be discussed more." Han Shigui nodded and said, "Brother Yang is the boss of the dock, you have the most say in this matter, what are your opinions, let's hear it." ”

The man put down his wine glass and said, "Master Han is right, the society is in danger, if we provide some assistance, it is reasonable." Yang has no objection. But everything has to have a degree, and beyond that limit, things are not so simple. Let's not talk about the 500,000 silver coins, Yang is responsible for the transfer of ships, so let's talk about the 1,000 clippers. Yang thinks this move is extremely unwise. You can calculate that a clipper ship needs to be equipped with ten sailors, and the wages of these sailors alone are probably more than 50,000 taels of silver. And that's not even counting the various preparations that need to be made to go to sea, as well as the wear and tear of ships. Not to mention the schedule of voyages that have been delayed because of this incident, these losses and losses are already incalculable. And the Han shipbuilding industry can't afford it. ”

Han Shigui nodded and said, "Brother Yang is right, these Han have thought about it, today I have checked the accounts, and I have also roughly estimated the loss of the dock, what you said is indeed the truth." So, do you have anything else to say?" Han Shigui looked at the Yue sisters and said, "The two of you are from Chang'an, what do you think?"

The Yue sisters glanced at each other, and Yue Wuyan said: "Our sisters have just arrived, and they are not very familiar with the affairs of the Han family, so they dare not talk about it. Han Shigui waved his hand and said: "Today I invite you to come to discuss, whether it is reasonable or not, if you have something to say, brainstorming, you can have a solution to the problem." The two of them are now also partners of my Han family, and their interests are related, so they can talk about their ideas. ”

Hearing this, Yue Wuyan nodded, and Yue Chengcheng slowly got up and said, "If that's the case, don't be surprised if the slave family talks a few words in vain." The slave family is a person from Chang'an, who has been poisoned by the war this time, and knows the suffering of the people of Chang'an. Comparing their hearts to their hearts, the fathers and villagers of Chang'an must hope that someone can take them out of the current situation. The ancients said, 'Since ancient times, the emperor won the hearts of the people and won the world'. The slave thief thought that the same was true of business. Today, there are tens of millions of refugees in Chang'an, and it will cost a lot to rescue them. But if you can save them from fire and water, wouldn't it be like charcoal in the snow? A large number of refugees fleeing to Jiangnan will inevitably bring with them the unique skills and people with lofty ideals in Chang'an. They must be very grateful to the Han family, and they will definitely spare no effort to contribute to the Han family. Even if they help those refugees who have no talent or skills, they can't repay them, but they can also spread the Han family's righteous deeds by word of mouth and spread their fame. This invisible force will definitely bring endless long-term benefits to the Han family, as well as a rich reputation in the business world. This is one of them.

Second, such a large-scale righteous act of the Han family is bound to get the attention of the imperial court. Today's saint is a generation of benevolent monarchs, and he attaches great importance to the people's livelihood. If the Han family can do this, the Holy One will definitely praise it and be affirmed by the Son of Heaven. The status of the Han family will be improved infinitely, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the Luo family, the Qi family, and the Wei family to compete with the Han family, and the entire Yangzhou market will gradually be pocketed by the Han family. ”

A faction of reasoned and well-founded discussions in Yueli City was released, which made many people present boil for a while. It seems that the Han family's status of dominating Jiangnan is already in front of them, and the commercial status can no longer be shaken. I couldn't help but nod my head again and again. Han Shigui was also very happy, and said: "Boss Yue is right, the reputation of the people is the intangible wealth of those of us who do business. ”

At this time, I saw a female boss slowly get up and said, "What if the Han family goes out, and the other three families follow suit?"

Han Shigui said: "Even if they follow suit, they won't be able to come up with what I, Han Shigui, can come up with." I can spend 10 years of my profits on this. After all, the ultimate purpose of doing this is not to get anything, we are to help the victims, it is a responsibility. And if they also contribute together, and the four major merchants attenuate profits together, our Han family is not afraid of him. What's more, it is also a good thing for the refugees in Chang'an. ”

The female boss nodded, and said, "But if this happens, it is equivalent to the Han family cutting off the source of profits for a long time." I'm afraid it's hard to compete with those three. ”

Han Shigui was arrogant and said: "I have already thought about this matter, and your business will definitely be affected, but you can rest assured, before you recover profits." All losses are borne by me, Han Shigui, alone. The old man has to do this, and if he does this, he will definitely benefit my Han family a lot. Although the money, manpower and material resources invested are large, they are only temporary difficulties. I believe in Han, within three years, I will definitely double your income. ”

Luo Xiaocheng listened to it for a long time, although he was not interested in business, but he also understood the focus of everyone's arguments, and he revered this old man Han in his heart, and he also raised his glass and said: "Master Han, I have heard that businessmen are all traitors and businessmen, but today I saw the demeanor of Master Han's businessman, which made Luo deeply ashamed." Master Han's move is the blessing of Chang'an, and of course, it is also the blessing of the Han family. Luo gives you a drink. ”

"Brother Luo is polite, you can fight for Chang'an City, I, Han Shigui, have no power to restrain the chicken, I can't slash the foreign invaders, I can only contribute money and efforts, you and I have the same goal, we are just doing something for the people. ”

When Ran Tianluo heard this, he was stunned in his heart, this old man Han probably already knew their identities, otherwise he would not have known about their participation in the war. But looking at his appearance, it doesn't seem to mean that he is embarrassed, and nothing should happen. When I think about this, I feel a little relieved.
