The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 949 Express Delivery

Ding Yi suddenly thought of one thing.

"Master Fan, Ding Yi happens to have something to ask for your help."

You are really welcome, Fan Xun asked: "Tell me what's going on."

"I found that some Jinyi guards outside seem to be looking for me. Can Master Fan help me out?"

Fan Xun was a little speechless, didn't you say that you are Jin Yiwei?

But Ding Yi is from Hengdian, and this is Yingtian Mansion, so it's really different.

"Tell me what did you do first? As long as it's not such a big deal as murder, it's fine." Fan Xun was also straightforward.

"I unintentionally and accidentally broke some secrets of others and took pictures. Now this person wants to ask Jin Yiwei to arrest me and get the film back." Ding Yi decided to drag him into the water. With Fan Xun in front, Shao Min can't help it either.

Fan Xun was a little dazed, looking at Ding Yi quietly.

He found that Ding Yi was really awesome, always breaking other people's affairs unintentionally and accidentally.

"Can you tell me who it is? I don't need to know what it is, I just want to know who it is." Fan Xun said in a deep voice.

"Shao Min." Ding Yi didn't hesitate.

Fan Xun was in a daze again.

A few seconds later, he cursed: "Ms. Nit can really cause trouble, how can there be so many carelessness and unintentionality."

"I really didn't mean it." Ding Yi shrugged: "I don't want to either."

"Do you know who Shao Min's husband is?" Fan Xun said angrily.

"Who?" Of course Ding Yi didn't know.

"Jiangnan Provincial Jinyiwei Commander Xiang En."

"What?" Ding Yi also cursed.

Dagan is different from the former Ming Dynasty and the later generations. There are three giants in the place.

Governor, Chief Soldier, Commander of Jinyiwei.

They represent the three parties of administration, army and brocade respectively.

In terms of rank, the three of them are from the second rank, the first rank.

So Xiang En is one of the local Big Three.

"Then Master Fan can't figure it out?" Ding Yi asked with a half-smile.

"Jin Yiwei doesn't dare to arrest you now, which proves that this is not an official business, someone obeyed Shao Min's private order to act." Fan Xun's mind was spinning quickly: "Maybe Xiang En doesn't know about this matter."

"They will definitely arrest you in a place where there are no people, or where there are few people."

"As long as you dare to make things bigger, Jin Yiwei will be afraid, and you will definitely stop."

Xiang En must not know, Ding Yi thought.

However, he suspected that Fan Xun wanted to lie to himself to make a big deal and let Jin Yiwei repair himself.

"Don't worry." Fan Xun seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and immediately said: "I definitely don't want you to be arrested. What if you don't keep your mouth shut and expose the matter of Lao Tzu, what should I do if I hurt Lao Tzu?"

"No, no, I have a tight mouth." Ding Yi laughed quickly.

"Let me send someone to send you back to Hengdian. You have entered the boundary of Hangzhou, and the Jinyiwei in Jiangnan will not dare to mess around. Aren't you the Hangzhou Jinyiwei? You can catch them instead."

"That's not necessary." Ding Yi said: "I think, when you see Shao Min later, just say something for me."

Fan Xun cursed again in his heart, Ding Yi was trying to drag him into the water.

But he just said it was his own.

He hesitated for a while, considering the consequences of offending Shao Min.

A few seconds later, he suddenly asked: "Is the secret in your hand a great deterrent?"

"Shao Min agreed at the time to exchange 300 million yuan, but now he obviously doesn't want to give the money." Ding Yi said.

"Hiss" Fan Xun gasped, what secret is worth 300 million?

His expression became serious, this must be a shocking secret, no less than what happened with Lu Yao just now.

Fan Xun was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "There is never enough money in this world, I suggest you not take this 300 million."

"Oh." Ding Yi listened patiently.

"Shao Min used to be a star, then married Xiang En and started to turn into a producer."

"She spends money lavishly and is very proud, so she makes many friends and doesn't save much money."

"You asked her for 300 million yuan. This is cutting her flesh. I guess she will have to borrow money from others."

"So she must fight you hard."

"Her husband is the commander of Jinyiwei, and he knows many desperate people on the road."

"You don't need to guard against her every day for this money."

"It can be prevented for a while, but it cannot be prevented forever."

"You took the money and returned the film, and she must have wondered if you would keep a spare."

"She said that she won't settle accounts with you in the future, and you must doubt whether she will retaliate. Neither of you will trust each other easily."

Ding Yi felt that it made sense. He found that Fan Xun was quite able to speak, so he couldn't help asking: "What does Master Fan mean?"

"Give back the film to her, ask her for 20 yuan, and make peace directly. Shao Min is a smart person, and she will definitely not pursue matters that can be settled with 20 yuan."

After hearing this, Ding Yi thought to himself, if I had asked 20 at the hotel that day, the matter might have been settled on the spot.

But because he remembered Shao Min's dismissal of him, he had already called 300 million.

Looking back now, I was indeed a bit over the top at the time.

"Master Fan is right. Don't push people too fast. Maybe she really doesn't have 300 million."

If a dog is in a hurry, he will jump over the wall. Shao Min can't come up with 300 million, so of course he has to fight Ding Yi desperately.

Ding Yi had a calculation in his heart.

About half an hour later, the wedding began.

The two parties used a Western-style wedding. A priest came to ask the two of them, would you marry him, would you marry her? After a short briefing, everyone returned to their respective tables and began the banquet.

There are places on the west side, and self-help on the east side.

Taking everyone's needs into consideration, everyone has arranged a seat, but those who like to run around to do business and discuss things can come to the east.

After all, a table can only seat ten people, and some people may chat with many people.

The people who came today were all dignitaries from Ying Tian Mansion and other places, most of them would not just sit at the table and chat with the people around them.

This is an opportunity to expand your social circle and make more friends.

Ding Yi and Fan Xun went to their own tables separately.

When Ding Yi arrived, he found that Director Yuan, Lao Song and others were already there, but Shao Min was not.

"Where's Miss Min?" Ding Yi asked Yuan Wu.

"It's such a good opportunity to chat with a group of directors there, she shouldn't get in touch with them more." Yuan Wu said with a smile.

Ding Yi followed his gaze and saw that Sister Min was not far away.

But she should have been here before, knowing that Ding Yi was at the same table as herself, and looked back from time to time.

Soon, he met Ding Yi's eyes.

With a smile on her face, she nodded to Ding Yi, then turned to chat with others.

Ding Yi picked up a glass of wine on the table: "I have something to do with Sister Min."

Get up and come to Shao Min.

After getting closer, I found that Shao Min is very attractive today.

Shao Min was already pretty. Although she was a bit older, she looked mature and temperamental.

Today she wore an open-chested suspender evening dress, which was dignified and sexy.

Her hair was tied back, and she looked a little wild again, very eye-catching. There were many young beauties on the scene, but the men liked to watch Shao Min.

Ding Yi looked at it and thought, so beautiful but who?What a pity.

Seeing Ding Yi walking towards him, Shao Min immediately left the chat circle just now and walked towards Ding Yi.

The two walked to the side at the same time and clinked glasses.

"When will you go back?" Shao Min asked with a polite smile.

"Tomorrow morning, take the money and leave." Ding Yi said calmly.

"Okay, you can sing well, my next play, I would like to ask you to help me write two more songs."

If Ding Yi hadn't seen Jin Yiwei staring at him, he would have almost believed it.

He looked around, and said simply, "Sister Min, don't be like this, I even found out that Jin Yiwei is following me, and he probably wants to catch me when I get the film."

Sister Min's face didn't change, but she was still in a daze: "Ding Yi, you are wrong, you actually doubt me."

As expected of an actor, sister Min's acting skills, tsk tsk.

"100 million." Ding Yi said at this time: "I just reflected on it. The previous 300 million was a bit too much, and 100 million is fine."

Sister Min didn't change her face, she thought to herself, you're scared too, right? I thought you were invincible.

A miserable expression suddenly appeared on her face: "Ding Yi, look at me on the surface, but in fact I spend a lot of money everywhere, socializing, and sometimes investing in movies myself, and even losing money. Not every movie can make money."

"Last time, I lost hundreds of thousands just to use your song, and I won't be able to see the benefits of TV dramas in the short term. You just need to know how hard Sister Min is. 100 million is hard for me, too."

Shao Min made an inch of progress, seeing Ding Yi retreating, he wanted more.

"Forget it." Ding Yi turned around and left.

"Hey, don't." Shao Min quickly pulled Ding Yi back.

"It's what you say, 100 million." Shao Min gritted his teeth.

"Let them stop, they won't be able to catch me. Sister Min doesn't need to work so hard. It's not good for you or me. If things get serious, it's not good for Commander Xiang to know." Ding Yi finally said.

Shao Min stared at him, are you threatening me?

"You two know each other?" At this moment, someone walked over with a smile not far away.

When the two turned their heads, it turned out that Fan Xun had brought a middle-aged man over.

Everyone quickly introduced each other.

The man's surname is Song, a local businessman, mainly engaged in export business.

Fan Xun is exquisite in all aspects, and the atmosphere of the four of them became active immediately after arriving.

He said that Boss Song wanted to invest in movies, and if Sister Min had any good movies in the future, remember to give her a chance.

Shao Min's smile trembled wildly, Mr. Fan was polite, Mr. Fan's friend is my friend.

The two sides chatted for a while, and Shao Min asked about Boss Song's business.

Boss Song said that the export business is good now, but the imperial post office is too slow to deliver, and it takes several days for the customs declaration form to be delivered to Songjiang Mansion.

Ding Yi was listening quietly, but suddenly his eyes lit up when he heard this.

How did the express delivery industry get up in later generations?
At that time, there was only one post office in China, and customs declarations were required for export business, and it took three days to send it from Hangzhou to Songjiang.

Some bosses were in a hurry to deliver the customs declaration form, so they spent a lot of money, 100 yuan, to have someone send it to Songjiang.

At that time, the salary was only [-] a month.

Someone saw the business opportunity and took over the customs declaration to do it alone, earning the first pot of gold, and then established the first express delivery company in China.

This is how the express delivery industry developed.

Later, there are agency companies that specialize in customs clearance.

"How did Boss Song solve this problem?" Ding Yi asked suddenly.

Both Fan Xun and Shao Min looked at him strangely, but they didn't expect Ding Yi to be interested in this.

"Of course I hired someone to do it at a high price." Boss Song smiled wryly: "We now hire someone to deliver it, 200 yuan a trip, and it will be delivered within a day, and all the procedures will be completed."

Ding Yi asked: "How many bosses are there in Ying Tianfu?"

"Of course there are a lot of them. A lot of them came today. Jiangnan Province is a big export province. I don't know how many companies are working in the whole province."

Ding Yi nodded.

He pulled Fan Xun aside and chatted for a few words.

"I want to start a company with Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan holds 40.00% of the shares, and I hold 60.00% of the shares."

"Master Fan doesn't need to pay money, just contacts."

Fan Xun looked at him with a smile, is this trying to make money in my name? "What kind of business do you want to do? It's not easy to do business now."

"Express transportation." Ding Yi briefly explained the operation of the express delivery industry in later generations.

Fan Xun is a smart person, and he understood immediately.

To put it bluntly, it is the same as the post office, but with high efficiency and fast speed, which is equivalent to stealing money from the post office.

"This can be done." Fan Xun nodded immediately. He looked at Ding Yi in surprise. He didn't expect Ding Yi to come up with such an idea just after hearing a few words from Boss Song. His brain is really good.

It has been so many years since the founding of the country, and no one among the people thought of doing this kind of thing like the post office.

The post office was only perfected in the last few years of Ding Yi's reign. After the railway was spread across the country, the Royal Post Office was established and belonged to the state.

It is now a royal private enterprise, that is, the Ding family's enterprise.

This may be the reason, no one has done this before.

But Fan Xunjue can do this job, and he can make money in the future.

But he may only think about making money, and Ding Yi does express delivery not just for making money.

Because after spreading the express outlets all over the country, his information channels, even the dens, are also spread all over the country.

If I have one hundred employees in each county branch in the future, then I will have 10,000+ employees across the country.

The two hit it off immediately, and Ding Yi set up a company in Yingtianfu as the headquarters.

No way, this kind of company that will face the whole country in the future cannot have its headquarters in a small town like Hengdian.

Both Yingtian Mansion and Songjiang Mansion are suitable.

But this is Fan Xun's territory, and Ding Yi decided to put it here.

In this case, his return to Hengdian will be delayed, and he will have to recruit people here.

Among the few people who came with Ding Yi, Yu Changqing, Feng Yunshan, and Hong Huoxiu could stand alone.

Feng Yunshan be more honest, Yu Changqing and Hong Huoxiu are smoother and more suitable to stay here.

While Ding Yi was thinking about setting up the company, he was also thinking about how to resolve Shao Min's matter.

But it seemed that what he said to Shao Min just now had some effect, and the surrounding guards rarely looked at him.

By the time the dinner party ended, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

He was about to leave when a security guard from Fan's residence came to him and said that Mr. Fan asked him to drive Mr. Ding back, and told Ding Yi that Fan Xun had gone to talk to Shao Min.

It seems that Fan Xun listened to Ding Yi's express delivery idea, felt that Ding Yi was still useful, and wanted to help him.

Ding Yi smiled and got into Fan's car without being polite.

After getting in the car, he looked in the rearview mirror, and sure enough, there was a car quietly following behind.

All the way to the hotel, a few Jinyiwei got out of the car behind, and then went to the front desk to ask Ding Yi's room number.

Then wait in the lobby for orders.

Lu Jiang's original order was to see if Ding Yi would go get the film tomorrow morning. If he didn't go elsewhere, he might just take it with him and arrest him before boarding the train.

But at this moment, Lu Jiang and Shao Min were entangled and sitting in the same room.

After Ding Yi lowered Shao Min's price, and Fan Xun came to make peace, he hesitated whether to arrest Ding Yi again. Once he did it, it would be like tearing his face apart.
