Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This is a very spacious mansion in Taiyuan City. From the outside, the entire mansion does not look very luxurious, but very ordinary.  However, as soon as you walk inside and take a look, you will find that there is something else going on.  Gardens, ponds, pavilions and pavilions are all there.  And the layout is very appropriate, making people feel a sense of luxury and honor.

    Just by looking at this mansion, you can tell that this kind of house is extraordinary.

    Indeed, this is no ordinary family, this is the ancestral home of the famous Taiyuan Wang family.  The Taiyuan Wang family, as one of the six great families in the world, is certainly extraordinary.

    "Money, to describe it as being as rich as a country, is not an exaggeration at all, it can't even be described."  The Wang family, in Mingdi, mainly operates restaurants and inns. In fact, in addition to restaurants and inns, they also run brothels behind their backs. This is such a dirty business as a brothel. Although the Wang family operates it, they dare not openly do it.

    The management mentioned here is not management in the general sense, but all over the country. As long as the city is of a certain size, there will definitely be industries such as those of the Wang family.  The territory of the Tang Dynasty was so vast that even if there was one in each county, the number would still be extremely large.  For such a large industry, the daily income is astronomical.

    The Wang family is an extremely large family.  Except for the members of the direct line, all the members of the collateral line, as well as the peripheral members, were scattered throughout the Tang Dynasty to take care of business in various places.  The members of the direct lineage are based in the ancestral home in Taiyuan and have unified control over the various branches.  Some important decisions made by local branches also need to be approved by the headquarters before they can be implemented.

    In fact, in addition to these three businesses, the Wang family also has another big business, and that is the grain business.  However, this is also done in the dark. After all, this food is the most sensitive strategic material.  If you want to make money in this business, you have to have a dark heart, which is called hoarding food.  Awaiting price.  Those who get riches are those who are in dire straits and disasters.

    " In this way, it will be very easy to offend the court and leave a bad reputation among the people.  therefore.  Behind the scenes.  That is the inevitable choice.

    In addition to these, the Wang family is of course also involved in other industries, but  Compared with these things, it pales into insignificance and is not worth mentioning.

    It can be said that the Wang family is a super family business group.  actually.  Not only the Wang family, but also the remaining five major families are in the same situation as the Wang family.  It's just that each family covers different areas.  It seems that these six families have never had any major conflicts due to business competition.

    However, in fact, it is not that simple.  Although this Wang family does not have any family members serving as officials in the court, but.  If you really want to talk about it, the status of the Wang family is no less than that of any official or powerful person, or even worse.

    Why is this? Because the Wang family is rich? Yes and no.  Anyway.  The Wang family is inextricably linked to countless officials.  Among them, only the parties involved can know the specific reasons.

    Wang Youde.  The contemporary eldest grandson of the Wang family and the contemporary head of the Wang family.  Wang Tianxiong¡¯s eldest son.  At the same time, he is also one of the most promising candidates to succeed the next generation of family head.  Such a status is extremely prominent, whether in the Wang family or outside.

    Of course, his status in the Wang family is due to the fact that he is the eldest grandson, but more importantly, it is due to his talents and the contributions he has made to the Wang family.

    The reason why these aristocratic families can prosper and survive is due to external reasons.  The most important thing is because of their internal talent training mechanism.  Although the status of a direct grandson has some advantages, it is not the most important thing.  If the direct eldest grandson has no ability, cannot contribute to the family, and cannot be recognized by everyone, then it is all in vain.

    After all, the entire family is a combination of interests. If the family is prosperous, all members of the Wang family will be valuable, and vice versa.  How could they allow a idiot to take the position of the head of the family?

    It has been some time since Wang Youde returned to Taiyuan from Chang'an City.  Ever since he learned that something happened to King Yan Li You and the emperor came in person, he ran back to Taiyuan without stopping.

    Anyway, he has successfully completed the task assigned to him by his family.  As for Li You's matter, although he couldn't get the specific details, it would definitely be a big trouble if it could make a prince so miserable. He didn't want to cause such trouble in other people's territory.  As for the Erguotou matter, he just pretended that he didn't know, and who could do anything to him.

    Although, if you get the brewing recipe and hand it over to the family, it will definitely be a great achievement.  However, he sensitively felt that the risks involved were also not small.  After careful calculation, it was really not a cost-effective deal. He, Wang Youde, would not do a deal that was not cost-effective.  Anyway, he has already achieved great success by completing the task assigned by his family, so why bother taking extra risks?  After all, when it comes to the emperor, the matter is too big.

    After returning to Taiyuan, he felt completely free and relaxed.  However, he did not completely relax about the matter in Chang'an and wanted to know the specific situation.  After all, Li Youzhi is really weird?.  Unfortunately, Li Shimin had already issued a silence order on that matter, so how could he get the news.

    However, although he did not get the information about that matter, he did get another information.  This is about Cui Yingying and Erguotou.  He unexpectedly discovered that Cui Yingying was helping the emperor.  This scared him into a cold sweat, and he was secretly glad that he didn't do it himself.

    Not long ago, he also knew the information about the self-service hot pot restaurant launched by Cui Yingying, which made him shocked and scared.  Surprised, of course, I didn't expect that Cui Yingying would be so cruel and directly kicked the Wang family out of the cauldron.  Unexpectedly, through such a model, countless self-service hot pot restaurants appeared all over the country in one day, and with the help of Erguotou, their Wang family's restaurant business suddenly fell to the bottom.

    He couldn't help but sigh, Cui Yingying's move was cruel, cruel and poisonous.

    At the same time, it also made him very worried.  Of course he is not worried about Cui Yingying coming to trouble him, she doesn't have the energy yet.  What he was worried about was that if someone in the family found out that he had concealed the incident of Erguotou, and that Cui Yingying's actions were to retaliate against Wang Youde, the family would suffer heavy losses, only Chi Yu would be affected.  In that case, he would be extremely tragic.

    So, he immediately sent people to clear out all the insiders, and then he no longer cared about the affairs of Chang'an City, so as not to arouse suspicion.

    And after a while, he discovered that it was indeed the fact that no one mentioned this matter that made him feel so lucky, and then he completely relaxed.

    However, today, he suddenly received a message from his servants saying that the master of the family had invited him.

    "The child pays homage to his father"

    Although he didn't know why, Wang Youde rushed over immediately. When he saw Wang Tianxiong sitting there with an expressionless face, Wang Youde immediately saluted respectfully.  He has a deep respect for this father.  This kind of awe has been accumulated over many years and has gone deep into my bones.

    "Here we go, sit down"

    Seeing Wang Youde come in, Wang Tianxiong continued to drink his tea slowly without raising his head.  In that voice, you can't hear any joy, anger, sorrow or joy at all.

    Hearing what his father said, Wang Youde quickly sat down on a chair nearby and waited for Wang Tianxiong to speak.  However, after waiting and waiting, there was still no sound.  This situation made him feel very depressed and panicked.

    "Recently, several major events have happened in the family. One of them caused heavy losses to the family. The family's restaurant business suffered a fatal blow overnight. Regarding this matter, I don't know, have you heard about it?  "

    Just when Wang Youde wanted to ask directly, Wang Tianxiong spoke slowly, but his tone was still calm, without any emotion at all.  However, these plain words made Wang Youde's heart tremble and cold sweat broke out on his back.

    "Haier heard about it. It seems that many self-service hot pot restaurants suddenly appeared, which affected the family restaurant. Well, there seems to be a kind of wine called Erguotou, which is very popular among diners."

    Wang Youde took a long time to calm down, and then he gave a half-truth and half-false answer.  Of course he can't say that he understands it very well, and he can't say that he doesn't know it at all.

    "Erguotou is indeed a rare good wine. I heard that this kind of wine first appeared in Cui Ji Restaurant in Chang'an City. You were still in Chang'an City at that time. Didn't you pay more attention to this matter?  ¡±

    "At that time, the child focused all his energy on matters assigned by his family. Therefore, he did not pay attention to this matter and hoped that his father would punish him."

    Wang Tianxiong¡¯s question made Wang Youde¡¯s throat feel dry and his hands and feet felt cold.  Although I don't know how much Wang Tianxiong knew, after some decisions, Wang Youde still chose not to admit it even to death.  Anyway, there is no evidence for this matter.  The most important thing is that he had an important family responsibility at that time.

    " Could it be possible that if you put all your heart and soul into family tasks, you can still make mistakes?

    After Wang Youde answered, Wang Tianxiong did not speak, but kept drinking tea, as if the tea was the most delicious thing in the world, making him forget everything in the world.

    However, as a result, Wang Youde suffered a lot. Facing this invisible pressure, the panic in his heart reached the extreme.

    "Well, it's okay. You can go back first. Someone will ask you for questioning in the evening."

    On the way back, Wang Youde felt puzzled. This matter was a bit baffling.  However, soon, my heart moved and I seemed to understand a little bit.
