Invincible son

Chapter 191 190 [Wiring]

Qingshui Street, Xicheng, the main store of Xiangyun Company.

In the main hall of the backyard, besides Pei Yue, there were six people including Sun Qi present.

"As I said just now, the briquette business has been completely stabilized. You brothers can receive the financial report I send every month, so you should have a clear understanding of the income." Pei Yue said with a smile, his face very calm.

Others were not so calm.

At the beginning, Sun Qi, Yu Tong and Lu Cheng each invested 5 taels of silver, while Wang Wenhe, Wei Ziyun and Qian Tong pooled 10 taels.Although the families of these few are very wealthy, tens of thousands of taels of silver is not enough to hurt their muscles and bones, but this is not a small sum after all, and they are also under considerable pressure.The reason why they are willing to invest is that apart from the trust of Gu Fan on behalf of the Guangping Houfu, they are all interested in the huge potential of honeycomb coal.

As it turned out, they were right.

Pei Yue agreed with them to close the account and pay dividends at the end of each year, but in order to let them see the real benefits, the first dividend was paid at the end of February in the fourth year of Kaiping.Sun, Yu and Lu each received 6 taels of Wenyin, and the other three shared 12 taels of silver in total.Since March, the production of honeycomb coal has begun to decrease, and the sales volume has also dropped significantly compared to the three months in winter. However, judging from the financial report sent to them by Pei Yue, the income of this business has gradually stabilized.When this winter comes, there is bound to be another peak sales period.

The 5 taels of silver that these people took out at the beginning have already returned to their original capital, and since then they can make money almost lying down, and their status in their respective families has continued to rise, and their attitudes towards Pei Yue have become more and more enthusiastic, even slightly respectful.

Yu Tong said with emotion: "I have been in touch with merchants since I was a child, and I think I have some talent in this area, but after seeing Brother Pei's handwriting, I know what talent is. Not to mention, this financial report alone is Unheard of pioneering work, it is really amazing. You have also done business, when have you seen such a majestic method? Always be careful when cooperating with others, the two sides are like fighting, no matter what news is hidden, I'm afraid that the other party will know. Brother Pei is lucky, he writes the details of the production and sales of briquettes clearly every month, which is even clearer than the imperial court's mansion newspaper, so you can't accept it!"

Lu Cheng echoed: "At the beginning Pei Yue said that we would be the supervisory censors, but now it seems that he is too careful. If all the officials of the court acted like him, the Yushitai would have been closed long ago!"

Pei Yue laughed and scolded: "Lu Mangzi, don't put a high hat on me. If Fang Zhongcheng of Yushitai hears this, I'm afraid he will impeach me for a month in a row."

Everyone laughed, but Lu Cheng didn't take it seriously. Although he was nicknamed Mangzi, he admired people with real skills the most, not to mention that Pei Yue was now his God of Wealth.

As for the allusions in Pei Yue's words, they are naturally very clear.At that time, someone wanted to seize the briquette business and the natural coal mine in Shouyang Mountain. They persuaded the censor of the dynasty, Zhong Chengfang, to take the lead, and also asked Sun Dacheng, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, to cooperate. If Luo Ting, the right ruling, hadn't pushed back on the spot, how could he be happy today? scene?

Thinking of this, Sun Qi, who was the oldest, asked calmly: "Brother Yue, you called everyone here today, what is your plan?"

The scene gradually quieted down.

Pei Yue said calmly: "Brothers, the briquette business attracts people's envy. Although officials are blocked by the face of Luo Zhirui, those people dare not do it openly, but in private there must be small tricks."

Qian Tong, who was usually used to being taciturn, suddenly asked, "Brother Pei, are you from Qibao Pavilion?"

Pei Yue looked at him approvingly, nodded and said: "Four days ago, Sun Liang, the chief steward of Sun Dacheng, Minister of the Household Department, went to Qibao Pavilion."

Lu Cheng slammed the table and said angrily: "These gangsters are wicked!"

Sun Qi was very surprised, he thought a lot at this moment.Pei Yue was a person valued by Emperor Kaiping. He was made a Viscount last year when he was only 14 years old, and he has a close relationship with Hou Guliang of Guangping. These are not secrets in Kyoto.However, what he said today made Sun Qi pay more attention to it.The reason is very simple, a viscount dares to monitor the House of Minister of the Household Department, isn't that considered audacious?
Pei Yue noticed the change in his expression, and said with a normal expression: "At the beginning when Sun Dacheng tripped me up in front of the imperial court, I paid attention to it and found two smart soldiers to watch him, in case someone schemed against him. I was kept in the dark. Brothers, you must help me keep it secret, lest His Majesty punish me for the felony of spying on the minister's mansion."

Seeing his candor, everyone shook their heads and said: "Brother Pei, don't worry, we are in the same boat, and we will never do such shameless things."

Sun Qi asked again: "Brother Yue, how do you plan to deal with those people's petty actions?"

Pei Yue smiled and said: "I have been thinking hard for the past two days, and I have probably figured out what the other party may use. Today, I will discuss with you brothers. Honeycomb coal is our industry, so I can only work hard, brothers, and accompany me to make a cage."

Lu Cheng said excitedly: "Brother Yue, tell me, what are we going to do, don't give those grandchildren a hard time, they don't even know that none of us are vegetarians!"

The atmosphere in the main hall became more and more cheerful.

Standing among the crowd, Pei Yue expressed his thoughts unhurriedly. What surprised him was that although these rich and powerful children had their own shortcomings, they were all proficient in the methods of manipulating people, which greatly opened up their minds. train of thought.

Everyone chatted very speculatively, and night fell before they knew it.

After negotiating the countermeasures, Pei Yue only felt a little dry mouth, but his spirit was very high, which gave him a faint feeling of facing a business war in his previous life.

Qi Min's figure appeared outside the door. After walking in, he first saluted the rich and powerful children, then stood beside Pei Yue and said, "Master, there is news from Liyuan that someone is making trouble in Zhaoqinglou."

Pei Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Qi Min is indeed very capable. Since the beginning of the year, he has taken root in the Xiangyun firm, relying on the firm's branches all over the city to develop an intelligence system belonging to Pei Yue.Although it can't be compared with the crow in Taishitai Pavilion, and Pei Yue also told him not to stretch his hand too far, so as not to cause trouble, but at least it can spread the information channel that Pei Yue needs.

There are several places in Kyoto that Qi Min focuses on, and Gu Fan left the garden after going south is the latest target.

"Who?" Pei Yue asked coldly.

Qi Min shook his head and said: "I don't know, our brothers just went there, so we haven't been able to go deep into the interior yet. We only know that something happened in Zhaoqing Building."

Pei Yue nodded, motioning for him to back down, then turned to Sun Qi and the others and said: "Brothers, everything is done as we agreed, I have to go out now, and I will have a banquet to apologize to everyone."

Qi Min's voice was not low, and everyone could hear it clearly. Lu Cheng was the first to get up and said, "If you are in trouble, can we still go? Let's go together! Although no one in my family is in charge of the army now, our ancestors also saluted Daliang." Let's see who dares to bully our brothers!"

Others stood up one after another and said, "Let's go together!"

Pei Yue cupped his fists and said, "Thank you!"

After a while, Pei Yue and the six dignitaries rode on horseback. Apart from Qi Min and the others behind them, there were also the soldiers of the six people. A total of more than [-] people rushed to Liyuan, also in the west city, with great momentum.

At the same time, Liyuan Zhaoqing Building.

Holding scissors in hand, Nanqin stood by the screen on the second floor, lonely but firmly said to the man in front of her: "If you take one more step forward, I will kill myself!"
