Chapter 43 Multiple friends, multiple paths
…
After visiting Cai Jing, Cai still visited Cai You and Gao Qiu respectively.
Unlike giving Cai Jing a copybook, Cai still directly brought the information to Cai You and Gao Qiu, and gave them 20% of the shares of Cai You and Gao Qiu respectively, and tied them to their own chariots.
Baixiangju now has a monthly turnover of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, and it is likely to be more in the future.
And 20% of the shares can be divided into at least 100,000 yuan per month, and at least 1 million yuan a year, and maybe two million yuan a year.
Such high returns, even if they have power and wealth, such as Cai You and Gao Qiu, cannot refuse.
After receiving Cai Jian's heavy gift, Cai You and Cai Jian explained with great heart why they only let Cai Jian be a small commander, and said that they would definitely help Cai Jian advance as soon as they had the opportunity.
Gao Qiu also gave Cai Jian almost the same promise. In addition, Gao Qiu heard Cai Jian say that he was going to suppress Song Jiang and his gang, so he asked Cai what he still needs?
Cai still didn't be polite to Gao Qiu. He asked Gao Qiu for another hundred war horses, three hundred divine arm bows, ten bed crossbows, and sufficient crossbow arrows. He also asked Gao Qiu for ten military weapon craftsmen to repair the weapons.
Military weapon supervision was an important weapon production and management office in the Northern Song Dynasty court. It mainly included the responsibilities of improving and developing new weapons, formulating weapons patterns and formations, supervising the production of central weapons, managing local weapons production and building city defense, and coordinating military materials and equipment.
The craftsmen in the military weapon prison are equivalent to researchers at the national-level military research institute in later generations.
To be honest, it is really a bit useless to use the craftsmen from the military weapon supervisor to repair the weapons.
Moreover, when he went to recruit people, Cai still bribed the minor official who helped him pick people. The minor official so he reciprocates the friends and found ten best craftsmen for Cai Shen. One of them was the best man in the gunpowder workshop. He was very good at researching and manufacturing weapons with combustion performance such as gunpowder arrows and artillery. In addition, he could also make explosive weapons such as thunder cannons and thunder.
Cai Shen's journey of dissipating wealth was far from stopped.
After bribing Cai You and Gao Qiu, Cai still divided Cai Chong and Cai Tao with one hundred and fifty-nine shares.
Cai Chong pretended to let go, then accepted it, and then promised Cai Jian: "Your commander is only temporary. After a while, I will find an opportunity for my elder brother to be in a good mood and talk to me to let my elder brother change my mind. Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise to build the army alone that I promised you."
After accepting Cai Shang's shares of 100 Baixiangju, Cai Tao asked bluntly: "Your Baixiangju is jealous, right?"
Cai still has the best relationship with Cai Tao, so he didn't hide it from Cai Tao and said, "If it weren't for others' jealousy, could I hurry back when the war is about to begin?"
Cai Tao said: "Let me guess, I, an idle person, have obtained 10% of the shares. Then, you are afraid that you will have to give at least 20% of the shares when you have the eldest brother. If you have the third brother, you are afraid that there will be 10% of the shares, right?"
Cai still smiled unanimously. Cai still would not admit such a thing, even if Cai Tao guessed it all.
Cai Tao did not hold on to this matter, he said, "Actually, if you look for us old guys, it is better to look for young people like Jiulang and others. They often hang out and know many people, which is easier to deal with these things than us. Even if you look for us, we have to let them do these things."
Cai Tao said that Cai still had already thought of it.
However, Cai still couldn't do what Cai Tao said.
First of all, the cake of Baixiangju is too big. If Cai still takes it alone before he has absolute strength, he will definitely be jealous of others. Perhaps he will cause great disaster to himself because of arousing other people's greed. If he tied it with Cai You, Gao Qiu and others, he will not only make money safely, but also have a good future. Why not do it?
Secondly, this is the Song Dynasty, not later generations. In this era, money is far from power--it is too simple to want money after having power, just like Cai You and Gao Qiu, because they have real power, Cai still had to take the initiative to send money to them. On the other hand, if you have money or not, money may become a burden to move forward, and even family may be destroyed because of money. There are many examples of this.
Again, Cai still doesn't want to be a rich man in this upcoming troubled times. His goal is to avoid the shame of Jingkang and to seize the entire Song Dynasty. How could he change his original intention for this little money?
Therefore, Cai still decisively distributed Baixiangju shares to Cai You, Gao Qiu, Cai Chong, Cai Tao and others.
After chatting with Cai Tao for a while, Cai Tao called Cai Mao and asked Cai Mao to help Cai Shen solve the trouble of Bai Xiangju.
How dare Cai Mao ignore Cai Tao?
On that day, Cai Mao arranged a table and found more than a dozen friends.
At the dinner table, Cai Mao solemnly introduced Cai Jian to his friends, saying that Cai Jian was the son of Cai Bian, the fourth in the current academic year. Cai Zi, the most famous one, told his friends, and Cai Mao said "inadvertently" that Baixiangju belonged to Cai Jian, and also to their Cai family. His eldest uncle Cai You, third uncle Cai Chong, his father Cai Tao, and other juniors of the Cai family, all have Baixiangju shares (Cai Jian took out 10% of the shares to distribute dividends to the others of the Cai family), and then he didn't say anything else, just drank and laughed with everyone, and talked about the love and mist.
Although Cai Mao just said something "unintentionally", how could these geniuses not understand the intention of Cai Mao's arrangement of this table today?
Who dares not give the Cai family face?
Moreover, after he had enough wine and food, Cai still prepared a generous gift for each of Cai Mao’s friends, which gave everyone enough face.
In the end, these people, no matter who are younger than Cai or older than Cai, all followed Cai Mao and called Cai Jian sixth uncle.
Although no one said anything from beginning to end, Cai still knew that Baixiangju's troubles should be solved, and no one should come to Baixiangju in the future.
After all of them were sent away in the future, Cai still thanked Cai Mao and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Jiulang."
Cai Mao waved his hand and said, "Uncle Six, you are welcome. Didn't I get a lot of money from it? Of course I have to do my best."
Cai was still too busy to keep focusing on Baixiangjue. Therefore, he needed someone like Cai Mao who could eat well in Bianliang City to help Baixiangju deal with trivial matters, so he asked Cai Mao: "Jiulang, why don't you help me take care of Baixiangjue? I'll give you an extra 3,000 knots every month, how about it?"
Cai Mao said: "How can I ask for money when helping Uncle Six do things? Uncle Six is worried. No matter what Baixiangju has to do in the future, I will have no choice but to define it."
Cai still said: "Hey~How can you help you in vain?"
Unexpectedly, Cai Mao changed his tone and said, "If the sixth uncle really wants to make some money, why not ask the nephew to send soap to the palace, right?"
When Cai still heard this, he couldn't help but look at Cai Mao up and down, and then said without comment: "Jiulang is very capable, but he actually has a way to the palace."
The Cai family is extremely powerful, but this does not mean that the Cai family can cover up the sky with one hand.
As far as Cai still knows, there are two places where the Cai family cannot insert it.
These two places are: the army and the palace.
These two places are well-known in the hands of two eunuchs.
These two eunuchs are Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng.
At that time, Cai Jing was called "Public Prime Minister".
Tong Guan is called "如如如如如".
He called Master Liang a "hidden image".
From the titles of the three, it is not difficult to see that the power of the three is actually basically the same, and even Cai You is not as good as them now.
As the third generation of the Cai family, Cai Mao was a junior and could actually put his hand into Liang Shicheng's entrainment. Then he could definitely bear Cai Shen's praise.
Cai Mao also understood the potential meaning of Cai Shang's words. He said a little embarrassedly: "This... I'm not to hide it. This is not my nephew's way, but my nephew's friend, who can send soap into the palace."
When Cai Shen heard this, he felt a little moved, "Those who can send soap into the palace are definitely not ordinary people."
Although Cai Mao failed to succeed in literature and was not as good as martial artists, his advantage lies in his cleverness.
When he saw that Cai still showed a thoughtful expression without saying a word, he immediately guessed that Cai might still have the idea of getting to know his friends.
Cai Mao immediately said, "Uncle Six, why don't I introduce my friend to you? There are many friends and multiple ways."
Now, Cai Jian, who feels that he has very weak connections, is very willing to make new friends, especially those with such powerful talents, so he said: "Okay, then you can make an appointment for a time and place."
Cai Mao opened his mouth and said, "Then let's go to Fanlou tomorrow night."
