The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 145

Jia Min didn't come back, the Wang family and the Shi family came first.

The Wang family is the family of Mrs. Wang's elder brother Wang Ziteng and his younger brother.The historians are the family of Shi Ding and Shi Nai, the nephews of Mother Jia.

Among the four great families of King Xue of Jia Shi, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and Baochai, the current leaders of the Xue family, are already in Jia's mansion.Therefore, after the members of the Wang family and the Shi family have come together, the four major families are considered complete.

Aunt Xue's family came with Jia's mother.Now it basically belongs to advance and retreat with Jia's house.Wang and Shi were invited by Jia's mother.

The reason for the invitation is high-sounding, to celebrate the successful launch of the bus project.However, in private, Jia's mother has her own little calculations.

Historically, the connection between the four major families has always been very close.Through the means of marriage with each other, a relationship in which one prospers all prospers and one harms all loses is formed.

However, in this crisis of the Jia family, this relationship has not been reflected.

Except for the Xue family, the Wang family and the Shi family basically took a stand-by attitude.

In these two, there is a difference.The current decline of the historian is even worse than that of the Xue family. Even if they want to, they are helpless.

In fact, they did not show any decent support.Not even moral and psychological support.

The Wang family is another situation.They are capable, but they have adopted a stand-by attitude.

Among the four major families in history, the Jia family has the highest political status and belongs to the Duke.The second is the historian, and the waiter for Bowling.Once again, it is the royal family, with the title of uncle.The lowest one is the Xue family, who is Ziwei Sheren, whose ancestors were attendants of the Imperial Academy.It is the same position as Luo Hanlin who is against Jia's mansion.

The Xue family has no title, and the descendants are engaged in business.But Xue's business is different from ordinary businessmen.They belong to the "inner government treasury bankers", generally known as imperial merchants. In fact, they provide special supplies to the imperial palace, similar to the role of government procurement.From the perspective of the business world alone, this status is still very high.

Of the current four major families, the Wang family is the strongest.This kind of strength is reflected in two aspects, one is financial resources, and the other is power.

The Wang family used to be in charge of foreign tributes in Jiangnan.Wang Xifeng once said that almost all the boats along the southeast coast belonged to her family.

Although these words are suspected of being exaggerated, the financial resources of the Wang family are indeed not to be underestimated.

As for the said in charge of tribute matters, not necessarily all foreigners came to pay tribute to the imperial court.Most of the time, it's just normal overseas trade.It's just that the imperial court has a good face and regards itself as the boss, and treats the goods brought by foreigners to do business here as tribute to itself.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng's grandfather was basically in charge of foreign trade, almost like a customs officer.

It was this fat job that laid the foundation for the wealth of the Wang family.This wealth base has continued to the present day.

In terms of power, Mrs. Wang's elder brother, Wang Ziteng, is currently the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, which is equivalent to the role of the garrison commander of the imperial capital. He has a high position and authority, but he is currently patrolling the border as the commander of the nine provinces.In other words, on behalf of the emperor, he went to check the border defense situation.

With the status of the Wang family, even if they do not have the ability to change the emperor's order, they still have the ability to provide financial and personal support to the Jia family.

However, so far, the Wang family has been sitting on the sidelines.He didn't even send someone to inquire about the situation or express any concern.

This may be because Wang Ziteng is not at home, but it also proves from another aspect that the relationship between the two is actually not as close as the outside world thinks.

In the same way, the so-called saying that one of the four major families prospers and all of them suffers is not so reliable.

In fact, Mother Jia was dissatisfied with the attitude of the Wang family this time.That's why there was an act of inviting the Wang family and historians to celebrate together.

It's just that Jia's mother didn't know that the bus and carriage project was to make money before, and the crisis in Jia's mansion has actually been resolved.Her original intention was to slap her face swollen to make herself fat, and to take this opportunity to show others: Without you, our Jia family can handle this imperial mission.

Now I know that this imperial mission is not only completed, but also earns money.Jia's mother was playing sideways, so naturally she was more willing to show off.

The best way to show off is to speak with facts.Therefore, as soon as the two families came, Jia's mother asked Chen Yejun to settle the accounts for the two families.

What account?Naturally, it is the account of how the project is profitable.

Asking Chen Yejun to settle accounts, instead of asking his own housekeeper to settle accounts, is particular.

Chen Yejun is not from the Jia family, but his family can be regarded as an aristocratic family in the imperial capital.The same goes for the Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan families.

The signal that Mother Jia wants to convey to people is: Even if your Wang family does not help us, there are Feng family, Chen family and Wei family standing with us.

In fact, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan participated only because of their personal relationship with Jia Min, and there was no more family color involved, it was just a purely commercial activity.

However, Mother Jia didn't mind these things.As long as she can take this opportunity to express her anger in front of the Wang family, she doesn't mind taking advantage of it.

Even Jia Min didn't think of taking this opportunity to slap the Wang family in the face, but Jia's mother thought about it and did it. It can be seen that Jia's mother is indeed quite sophisticated and ruthless in many cases.

After the account was settled, it naturally aroused the surprise and amazement of Wang and Shi.In this way, Jia's mother completed her face-slapping process.Gained a psychological advantage in front of the two.

Of course, there was no sword, light, sword, or verbal confrontation in this process, but it was carried out in a way of short family talk among parents.From the outside, the atmosphere is still harmonious, and there is no sign of confrontation.

This time, Mother Jia did not conceal Jia Min's contribution, and even used some exaggerated words to praise Jia Min.

Of course, she also brought a lot of private goods.For example, how I was so worried about this matter that I couldn't sleep, how Baoyu was anxious to come up with ideas about this matter, how Jia Lian ran around about this matter, and the servants worked together for this matter, etc. It seems that this is the whole Jia family. the result of a joint effort.And she herself is the commander-in-chief who is planning a strategy and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

The female relatives of Wang and Shi also cooperated with Jia Mu in due course, making surprised expressions and admiring voices from time to time.

It is also wrong to say that Wang and Shi are indifferent to this crisis in Jia's mansion.Almost all the aristocratic families in the imperial capital are paying attention to this crisis, and the Wang and Shi families are actually clear about the ins and outs of the matter.It's just that now that the Jia family has won the battle, they can't say anything.

People who win always say what they say is reasonable.

When Jia Min came back, he was also a little surprised to see an outsider present, and then realized that this must be Mother Jia's intention to show off.

Announcing the shares was originally not suitable for such an occasion, but Jia's mother was determined to carry out the slap in the face to the end, so she asked Jia Min to announce it in front of the Wang family and the Shi family.

Jia Min thought it was fine.I said it in front of outsiders, even if people in Jia's mansion are dissatisfied, they can't directly object, just take this opportunity to confirm the matter, and these outsiders just happened to be witnesses.

"The total share capital this time is 5 taels. Among them, 100 taels have been put into use, and the remaining 900 taels are stored in the bank as working capital."

"Before, some people had sold their shares first. The first one to sell was the largest shareholder, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law Qin from Dongfu. This time she gave out a total of 1 taels of silver."

Everyone was surprised when they heard that Qin Keqing invested 1 taels quietly.

One is how did she have so much money, and the other is how did she have the guts to invest money quietly when no one else was optimistic about it?

Especially Jia Rong was even more surprised.Glancing at Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing ignored him, so it was difficult to say anything.

Although everyone was puzzled, it was not easy to say anything in public.Jia Min didn't explain either. He believed that with Qin Keqing's intelligence, she would give an explanation herself.

As for himself, there is no need to worry at all.Now, no one dares to come to him to question.

"The second largest shareholder is Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan. Together, the three of them invested 1 taels."

"The third ones are Second Brother Lian and Brother Qiang. Second Brother Lian voted for 2000 taels, and Brother Qiang voted for 1000 taels."

When Jia Lian heard Jia Min talking about himself, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Xifeng, and then saw Wang Xifeng's knife-like eyes.

That means: I really can't see it, you actually did such a big thing secretly.

Jia's mother also stared at Jia Lian for a while, but Jia Lian didn't meet her eyes at all.

Mother Jia realized that she had made a mistake: she should not have arranged for Jia Lian to monitor Jia Min.Now that Brother Lian has bought shares secretly, the relationship between him and Brother Min is a little delicate.

In her heart, Jia's mother classified Jia Lian as unreliable.

Jia Amnesty was also very dissatisfied with Jia Lian's secret investment in shares.Now he is wondering how his son got together with Brother Min.He decided that after returning home, he must have a good interrogation.

Jia Qiang had a very close relationship with Jia Rong before, but this time she also secretly bought a share, which made Jia Rong very unhappy.But there were so many people at this time, and now he was afraid of Jia Min again, so he had no choice but to hold back.

"The above is a total of 3000 taels. The remaining 5000 taels belong to the mansion. This part is the shares of the mansion officials. If there is any profit in the future, it will naturally be handed over to the officials."

"These two items add up to 8000 taels. The remaining 1 taels are the share capital reserved for the other masters in the mansion. This part, I used the money to advance. Now, let's put this The 1 taels will be divided among the masters who have not invested in the shares before. Everyone has a share, everyone is equal, and they all have the same amount of shares."

how?And our shares?

People kind of couldn't believe it.
