The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 51 Treachery
Jia Min remained calm, just drank slowly, letting them mutter to themselves.

After the banquet was over, a group of people found a secluded room and began to discuss together.It is said to be a plan, but they are actually asking, and Jia Min is answering.The question was more detailed, and Jia Min did not hide anything, and answered truthfully.

Although these people have also been involved in business at home, what they can ask are only some common questions.They couldn't find out the real key point.

Generally speaking, when looking at a thing, you must first discover the problem, then raise the problem, and finally solve the problem.

Being able to ask questions is actually not far from solving them.In many cases, it is precisely because the problem cannot be raised that the problem cannot be solved.

The expectation given by Jia Min is: the investment can be recovered within one year, and under normal circumstances, the annual profit can reach 3 taels of silver.

The premise is that an investment of 6 taels is required, and major resolutions of the board of directors must be approved by more than [-]% of the shares. Jia Min himself must account for at least [-]% of the shares.

In other words, he has a veto power for major decisions.

Of course, this is just a framework, and there are still many details in the real work.

Details determine success or failure, this is the key.

However, Niu Jizong didn't seem to care too much about the details, and Liu Fang seemed a little impatient during Jia Min's explanation.

It stands to reason that they should understand the matter in as much detail as possible, which aroused Jia Min's vigilance. Thinking of the situation at the wine table just now, Jia Min knew it in his heart.

In the end, Niu Jizong said that he would make a decision after they went back to check it out.I will give him an answer tomorrow, so I leave.

As an investor, Shen Bingyi also participated in the whole process of the banquet, and she was very excited after the two returned to the room.

"Fourth Master, how many shares do you think I should buy?"

"how much money you have?"

"Including jewelry and so on, it's about 1 taels."

Hey, she's still a little rich woman.But don't let any little fresh meat be fooled.

"This stock, you can't get into it for the time being?"

"Why?"

"Because I can't get in either."

"You don't want to do this business?"

"It's not that I don't do it, but they have to do it themselves. If you believe me, don't buy shares first. Wait for three months before buying shares."

"Since they have done it, how can I get a share? Why is it three months later?"

"They will close their doors after working for three months. When I take over, you can become a shareholder."

"Since they lose money, you can make money by doing it?"

"exactly."

"Didn't Fourth Master tell you how to do business? I heard that you can make money. If I wasn't a woman, I could do it."

Hey, little boy, can you do it too?You know, where is the real profit point of this project?How can such a complicated project be explained clearly in such a short time?Seeing me draw a big cake, I thought I could make money. Where is such a good thing?

Just seeing that I can make money by doing calculations, do you think it's okay?

Among the businessmen in this world, which one didn't keep accounts before starting a business, and which one opened up after calculating how to make money, and who would do it knowingly that they would lose money?

Jia Min didn't say much, talking to Shen Bingyi up to this point, he had fulfilled his duty of reminder.If she is a sensible person, she should understand whether it is necessary for her to do a business that even the founder Jia Min is not involved in?
If you really don't listen to dissuasion and insist on buying shares, you can only let her go.

The next day, Jia Min went to the Yamen again, hurriedly went to the yamen with the landlord, handled the transfer of ownership, and got the deed.

At this time, the civil affairs of the imperial capital were divided into two counties with the central axis of the imperial capital as the boundary, one was Wanping County and the other was Daxing County.Since they belonged to different places, both county government offices went to the two counties, and it was not until it was almost dark that they hurriedly finished the work.

I went back to Meiyue Tower and asked, but no one came to him.Knowing that it was Niu Jizong and the others who had changed their minds.

If they don't want to do it either, definitely come back and tell him.Since they haven't come yet, it means they want to do it.They didn't tell Jia Min, just because they wanted to get rid of Jia Min and do it alone.

Jia Min smiled and shook his head, so he could only laugh at their lack of vision.

You think you can make money with creativity, but when you can’t keep doing it, you will know that this business is not for everyone.

After Niu Jizong and the others went back last night, they studied together for half the night.They didn't lack investment money. According to Jia Min's plan, they also made their own budget, and the result was similar to what Jia Min said.

So, at Liu Fang's suggestion, he decided to do it himself.Now that I already know the way, why let Jia Min take the lead and let him have the final say?

Even if Jia Min knew they had dumped him, what could he do to them?

Jia Min was just an outsider, Jia's mansion didn't want to see him, and he wouldn't stand up for him at all, even if he was clearly blackmailed, he had to endure it.

This imperial capital is still their world now.

No one came at night, so after getting up the next morning, Jia Min went back to Yeduju.

He was waiting for Niu Jizong and the others to come, and took this opportunity to blackmail them.

As expected of Fang Xiucai who has studied, it only took two days to learn the Chinese pinyin and Arabic numerals. Once he got motivated, he simply led his wife Feng Sanniang to live in Yeduju.He also brought two maids.

Feng Sanniang also knew a few words, so she also studied with Ping'er and the others.

Fang Xiucai's publicity and agitation skills are really good. In just two days, he brought five or six children and scholars he knew to Yeduju, and began to learn pinyin and Arabic numerals.

In this way, Jia Min basically established a team of teachers.

This team of teachers is very cost-effective for Jia Min.Not only does he not have to pay for it, but he often pays for it himself to buy some of these.Buy some of that.

These Tongsheng and Xiucai were often ridiculed by those who won the exam because they failed in the test repeatedly, so they all held their breath.Now that I have this opportunity, I want to rely on Jia Min to make a comeback and feel proud.

Three days later, Niu Jizong and Liu Fang came to Yeduju to look for Jia Min.

Jia Min knew what they were coming for, so he didn't reveal it, but just chatted with them.Not a word was mentioned about the bus and carriage.

After all, Niu Jizong spoke first.

"Brother Min, we went back and discussed with the family, but the family did not agree to partner with you, so I have to apologize for this matter."

"So you did it yourself?"

"this……."

"I said brother, this is not very kind? Are you sure you can make money? It's better to be cautious."

I did my duty of reminder.

"The elders are told to do it, and those of us who are juniors have no choice but to obey."

"Even if the elders have made the decision, it's hard for me to say anything. There is no righteousness in our business. If there is a destiny, we will work together to do something in the future."

Jia Min said with a smile.There was no sign of anger.

"My brother's behavior in this matter is a bit dishonest, and I owe brother Min a favor."

Damn, you still know what you're doing is not authentic.You are also blinded by lard, and you are short-sighted. After a few months, you will be crying.

"If that's the case, let's go our separate ways. You must have taken all the good locations in the city. I'll go to the countryside to beg for food. That way, I won't interfere in the city, and you won't interfere outside the city. How good is that?"

"Brother Min, please clarify."

"Let's be clear, I'm going to open the long-distance lines from the city to Wanping, Tongzhou, Daxing and Changping. From now on, you are not allowed to intervene in the long-distance lines. I will not intervene in the city either. To avoid injury Be friendly. Although it's cheap for you, but, brother, I also admit it."

"Brother Min said so, it's a deal. But there is still one thing to ask."

"Brother, it's okay to say."

"Brothers went to the yamen to check, and they said that the houses and land boundaries at the starting stations of those lines were bought by Brother Min. I didn't intend to trouble Brother Min, but it was true. I couldn't find a more suitable place, so I made a discussion with Brother Min to see if we can resell the house and land to us?"

"this……?"

Jia Min remained silent.

I knew you'd come to me for this, old boy.

"To be honest, the reason why I bought those land boundaries at the beginning was to make a fortune when the land prices there rose after the carriage was opened. If the price is right, I can sell it. If not , anyway, I don't wait for the money to be used, even if I put it away for a few years, it doesn't matter."

"The matter of the price is easy to discuss. It won't make Brother Min suffer."

Humph, still playing with me.Knowing that you have all betrayed your promises, I even bought the land boundary just to kill you.

Can't even see this, still want to make money?
"I don't know what price I can offer? If it's reasonable, brothers will help you."

"A total of 1 taels of silver, how about it?"

"Brother is just joking. I paid 5000 taels for the rent, land money, dental office money, and deed tax. Could it be that my brother still asks me to lose money? There is no reason for that."

"That's 6000 taels. Leave 1000 taels for Brother Min to buy wine and eat."

"Oh, my brother is really good at calculating. That's the case. If I don't know how to flatter me, I will be sorry for my brother. It's a deal. It's 6000 taels. I'll go to the yamen for delivery tomorrow."

Xiaobian, this time I will kill you for 7000 taels. After three months, I will kill you for more.If you don’t leave the way of making money for you, you have to play dirty with me and eat alone.

Except for going back and forth to exchange pleasantries, Liu Fang didn't say a word during the whole process.However, Jia Min knew that Liu Fang's idea of ​​doing it alone, regardless of his own, was probably the result of Liu Fang's idea.

In Niu Jizong's small circle, Liu Fang has always been known as "Little Zhuge". Many things in the circle are decided by Liu Fang.

Since Jia Min wanted to cooperate with them, how could he not investigate his partners?
In that circle, Jia Min is actually more optimistic about Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan.

Just when Jia Min was analyzing what role the three of them had played in this betrayal, the three of them came.
