Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since it was Fang Jinshi's order, and it was clear that there was money to be made, Wang Diao'er was naturally extra attentive. Within two days, he had identified a teahouse and a restaurant, and happily came to ask Fang Jinshi for credit.

    Fang Jinshi led Wang Gui and Shi Hao over to take a look at it respectively. The teahouse was in the west of the city. It was a remote place and there were not many households around it. After looking at it, Fang Jinshi said, "This is it."

    Wang Diao'er said: "People are doing business here, and it's not cheap to buy it."

    Fang Jinshi said: "We have been here for most of the day, and there are only two or three guests. Isn't it cheap? Do you think I am a fat sheep that needs to be slaughtered?"

    Wang Diao'er didn't dare to add too much of his own oil and water, and went to pretend to talk to the owner. Fang Jinshi said to Shi Hao behind Wang Gui's back: "Did you see that? This is a person who knows how to behave.  "

    Shi Hao said: "Everyone who comes out of the Yamen is like this." He looked at the teahouse and said: "Do you really want to open a teahouse?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Of course, do you think I'm joking?"

    Shi Hao said worriedly: "There are too few people here, so it's not easy to do business."

    Fang Jinshi smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Whether the business is good or not depends on you, the big shopkeeper. I will ask Wang Gui to come over and help you when the time comes. You two can run this teahouse well."

    Shi Hao was surprised and said, "You want me to come over and run this teahouse?"

    Fang Jinshi stopped smiling and said, "Why can't it be done?"

    Shi Hao said with a sad face: "It's not impossible. I get wages from you, so I will naturally follow your arrangements. But if you lose money, don't blame me."

    Fang Jinshi just smiled and said nothing more. In the past two days, he only took Wang Gui out, or played with Taigong Shi who came with him, and didn't ask much about the tea house.

    He asked Wang Gui to find someone to clean up the newly acquired tea house. He did not even change the sign, but only reinforced the windows and raised the walls.

    At noon that day, Wang Gui came over to report that the wall had been raised. Fang Jinshi still led Shi Hao and Wang Gui to the teahouse and looked around. They were quite satisfied. He turned back to Shi Hao and said, "I asked you to find it."  How are you looking for the Confucian scholars and scholars who copied books?"

    Shi Hao said: "I asked the guys to go around looking for relatives and friends, about one or two hundred people. I'm afraid not all of them will come in the end. It's hard to say how hard it will be."

    Fang Jinshi frowned and said, "That won't work. Forget it, just find as many people as there are. When you really can't use anyone, put up a notice and offer a reward."

    Shi Hao became more and more confused about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he took the initiative and said: "Do you want to copy a lot of words? If there are many words, it is better to find a printing shop to engrave them. Printing is always faster than copying, and it is neater."  "

    Fang Jinshi looked dumbfounded and said, "What's the use of printing these words?"

    Shi Hao said: "What's the difference between writing and printing? Do we also need to pay attention to the layout of calligraphy? When I was looking for someone, I didn't say that the handwriting must be neat and beautiful."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Forget it, you will know when the time comes, just find someone." He did not explain much, led Shi Hao and Wang Gui back to Sihai Tea House, sat down and drank a few sips of tea, and there was a waiter  Fang Jinshi came over and handed him a letter. Fang Jinshi opened it without showing it to Shi Hao or the others. He stuffed it into his sleeves, stood up and said, "It's already dinner time. It's time to invite the guests to the table."

    Shi Hao said: "Who should I invite? Where can I invite you?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I heard that the nephew of the rich shopkeeper has opened a new Huibin restaurant. There are many kinds of tea and the dishes are good. I heard that the rich shopkeeper frequents it recently. Let's try our luck and ask the rich shopkeeper if he has any money.  Lend it to Sihai Tea House."

    When Shi Hao heard that he said he was going, he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Is it really this time to go to Fu Zhirong?"

    Fang Jinshi said confidently: "Of course."

    Shi Hao said: "Huibin Building is crowded at this time. It would be better if Shopkeeper Hu and I go to Fu Zhirong first in the afternoon, and you can go later."

    Shi Hao thought that Fu Zhirong would most likely not even give Fang Jinshi face, especially in public. As the leader of these people, it would be outrageous for Fang Jinshi to lose face. He and Shopkeeper Hu were standing in front of each other and were not in the restaurant.  A place like this with more people will always be better.

    Fang Jinshi said: "No, just bring the documents that you can't borrow the money and go with me."

    He insisted on going, but Shi Hao couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to bring the documents for the current and current accounts in the same format for all the merchants in the world and go out with him.

    Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t bring anyone with him. He only took Shi Hao, Wang Gui and a guy who knew the way, and drove together in a carriage to the Huibin Restaurant owned by Fu Zhirong¡¯s nephew.

    This Huibin Building has just openedSoon, the location was very good. For example, the teahouse in Jinshixinpan was much better. It was dinner time again, and the Huibin Building was busy with people coming and going. It looked like the business was very good.

    As soon as Fang Jinshi and the others came in, a waiter came up to greet them. Fang Jinshi just said that he had reserved a seat a long time ago and went straight to the third floor. He had already asked people to find out that Fu Zhirong was on the third floor at this time.  Eat wine in the room named Lou Xuan.

    When a few people walked into the corridor, they heard shouts and the sound of glasses and cups coming from the room named Xuan. Someone was saying loudly: "Brother Fu, when we were weeding on the mountain, how could we have imagined that there would be more people in the world?"  There is such fine tea.¡±

    Another person said: "How can someone from that remote mountainous place compete with Hepingjiang Mansion and hang out with the rich brother? You are with the right person." After that, everyone said flattering words and toasted.

    Fang Jinshi and others walked to the door of the room, and just in time a waiter came in carrying wine and food. Fang Jinshi followed the waiter and walked in. They saw in front of them that the banquet was starting not long ago, the dishes were being served, and six or seven big men were sitting in the banquet.  Fu Zhirong sat at the top, and everyone toasted to him.

    Fang Jinshi followed the waiter in. Fu Zhirong didn't see him. A big man closest to him saw it and asked: "This is the exclusive VIP pavilion. Are you in the wrong place?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I'm looking for the rich shopkeeper."

    At this time, Fu Zhirong saw Fang Jinshi and the others. He put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up and said, "When did Mr. Fang come back? He's such a rare visitor. How about having a few drinks together." Even if he didn't deal with Fang Jinshi again, the scene was still  He still knew how to speak, so he followed up and said to the people in the banquet room: "Come on, come on, give up your place and invite Mr. Fang to take a seat."

    Some of his brothers stood up quickly and made way for Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi saw a tea bowl without a lid on the table. He opened the bowl of tea in front of him and looked inside, smelled it with his nose and said, "  Wow, this is a dragon group beating the snow."

    Fu Zhicha hurriedly said: "Master Fang is wrong. This is just a tea made by an elder of my friend. It is similar to Long Tuan Sheng Xue, but the taste is far inferior."

    Fang Jinshi said: "As a shopkeeper of a tea shop, I can't tell the difference between Long Tuan Sheng Xue? No wonder you just had a brother calling for tea. Many first and second-rank officials in the court drank Long Tuan Sheng Xue.  I¡¯m sorry I haven¡¯t had it before, it¡¯s certainly first-rate.¡±

    As soon as he said this, one of Fu Zhirong's brothers heard that something was wrong with the taste, and someone came over and said, "What's wrong with the good tea? Is it against the law of the court for my brother to pay for his eldest brother to drink good tea?"  "

    Fang Jinshi didn't say anything to him. Fu Zhirong stopped his brother from continuing with his eyes. He said to Fang Jinshi: "Young Master Fang is here at this time. Do you have something important to do with me?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "It's nothing important. It's just that all the money received by the tea house has been paid to the bank. If we want to buy goods, we want the bank to transfer some money for use."

    Fu Zhirong said: "How many posts will the young master want to transfer?"

    Fang Jinshi signaled to Shi Hao, who came over and handed over the official document. Fang Jinshi glanced at it and said: "It's very little, only two thousand guan. Sihai Qianzhuang doesn't even have this money." As he said that, he threw the document to the  On the table in front of Fu Zhirong.

    Fu Zhirong picked it up and looked through it, then said: "Two thousand guan is not much at all for Sihai Bank, butit's just that Mr. Meng Da just made a rule that documents exceeding a thousand guan will  It must be handed over to the bank at least one day in advance, or if it is needed urgently, it can be stamped by Mr. Da."

    Fang Jinshi said: "When did Mr. Meng Da establish the rules? Why didn't I know?"

    Fu Zhirong smiled and said: "Mr. Meng Da just established the rules the day before yesterday. Young Master Fang has just returned from Bianliang. It's not surprising that he doesn't know about it."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then I also have to follow the rules?"

    Fu Zhirong said: "As the second head of Sihai Company, the young master should abide by the rules, right? If the young master needs it urgently, how about I ask someone to find a solution immediately?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Since it is a rule, of course I can't break it here. What Shopkeeper Fu meant just now is that Shopkeeper Fu can make a decision on the spot for a thousand guans, right?"

    Fu Zhirong said: "It also depends on the situation. If the young master comes in person, the master Fu is also worthy of the job."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Okay." He signaled to Shi Hao again, and asked the clerk to bring up the pen and ink, and changed the document of two thousand guan to 999 guan on the side. He said to Fu Zhirong: "I am so  Change it, don¡¯t worry about it.¡±

    Fu Zhirong said: "Of course it's not possible for others to change like this. Young Master, it should be possible."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then please ask the rich shopkeeper to stamp it."

    Fu Zhirong pondered for a moment, turned around to get the seal, and stamped the document carefully. Fang Jinshi put away the transferred document and handed it to Shi Hao, saying: "Shopkeeper Fu is so generous. I have something urgent, so I will leave now. I will ask Shopkeeper Fu to come to me another day."  Eat wine at the teahouse.¡±

    Fu Zhirong said: "No matter how urgent it is, you still have to eat. How about eating here?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "It took a lot of effort for the brothers from your village to get together. I'm an outsider and won't bother you. I'll take my leave." He and Fu Zhirong turned around politely and went downstairs with Shi Hao and Wang Gui.

    When we got to the street, Shi Hao said: "I thought the scene would be very embarrassing, but I didn't expect that Fu Darong would be a little more polite."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Do you know what I learned this time in Bianliang City?"

    Shi Hao said: "What?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I have learned that no matter what you do, you must be prepared and stay calm, otherwise things will be bad."

    Shi Hao responded silently, and after a moment he said, "Then what should we do now?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Fu Zhirong finally gave me some face and gave me these nine hundred and ninety-nine coins. With this document, I naturally went to withdraw the money."

    Shi Hao sighed and said: "With these thousand strings, it is just a drop in the bucket. If I have to wait for an extra minute and a half, Fu Zhirong will not be able to handle the other documents in order."

    Fang Jinshi said confidently: "With these thousand strings, there must be ten thousand strings, one hundred thousand strings, let's go."
