Chapter 63: Think Well
Wuzhong, who didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, had a look of satisfaction on his face. His eyes that originally looked at Xu Min with some complaints also changed a lot. Instead, he said to Xu Min encouragingly: "This is the matter.
Thanks to your contribution, the Baoyuan Bureau will definitely have a lot of money in the future. If you want to do something by then...you have to remember not to be seen by anyone with intentions."
No one is short of money these days... In the eyes of Wuzhong and Xu Min, the Baoyuan Bureau under the jurisdiction of Wang Siqi has actually developed a good business like selling liquor, and can also make a steady stream of cash.
.
It feels like a child holding gold in his arms while walking in a busy city.
"I would like to thank you, Lord Shangshu. I will do my best for this matter, and I will give you the share I deserve..."
.....
When you have money, you naturally have to figure out how to spend it.
After all, it is money from Baoyuan Bureau. This kind of money is considered to be money on the surface, so you cannot just pocket it casually.
Just got home.
Xu Min asked his wife to greet his brother-in-law back, and Qi Demao stood respectfully in front of his brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law...you greet me?"
"Um."
After taking a sip of tea, Xu Min finally relaxed a lot.
"I'm calling you. I have something good for you... The Ministry of Works recently received a new amount of money. This money is clear. You should go ahead and save some good giant trees."
"Brother-in-law? This? Why."
"Silly! Can the money from the Ministry of Works be used casually? It can't be used specifically to purchase things. The top priority now is to build the northern palace for the emperor, and all the giant trees must come from the Ministry of Works."
"The price of this thing is stable. It's unrealistic to buy too much in a short time. You need to use the money to buy all the huge trees on the market. When the Ministry of Industry needs it, I can only buy it with you."
!”
Hearing Xu Min's words, Qi Demao, no matter how stupid he was, understood the meaning of his words. He immediately touched his head and nodded with a smile and said: "Brother-in-law, I understand. How much do you want to sell this giant tree at that time?"
Aren’t we the ones who have the final say over the money? Then the Ministry of Industry will have to buy it for how much money this huge piece of wood costs."
"That's right! But you must remember that things should be done in a hidden way, so that no one can discover you."
"I understand...brother-in-law, the amount of money needed to hoard huge trees is not a small sum. I'm afraid I can't come up with so much money...otherwise, brother-in-law, you can lend me some first, and then it will all be credited to you."
I'll give it back to you in part."
Hear what Qi Demao said.
Xu Min put down the tea cup in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "This amount of silver is naturally not a small amount. I guess the silver in your hand is not enough."
"But you have to remember, your brother-in-law's little money can't withstand any trouble. If it weren't for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... I would never give you the money, and you must remember it no matter what.
live.."
"I never asked you to do anything..."
Qi Demao's expression remained unchanged and he just nodded.
"Brother-in-law... I still understand this."
"After all these years... you are trustworthy. Please worry about it. As for the money, I will go to your sister to take care of it. But remember... you must be careful!"
"rest assured!"
.......
Qi Demao just walked out of Xu Min's house.
I don't know when a man followed him behind him, but he was hanging behind him not too far away. Qi Demao didn't notice the other man's existence at all.
Wait until Qi Demao gets home.
Immediately he shouted to his concubines and said: "Come and loosen up your body, Ouch! This trip is really tiring. After this business is done, I have to think about it."
The best way is to go out and take a sedan or a carriage!"
Hearing this, the man who was lying on the wall and watching couldn't help but cursed in his heart: Are you the only one? Still thinking about riding in a sedan or carriage? You don't even look at yourself in the mirror.
If there is a familiar person present, one can immediately recognize that the man hanging on the eaves is Wu De.
"Master! We negotiated a big deal today!"
"After a while, all the giant trees in the capital will belong to me, Mr. Qi. By then...who will dare to look down on me, Qi Demao!"
With his sister becoming the wife of Xu Min, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, Qi Demao has received a lot of advice and care from his brother-in-law's family over the years.
Just a few years.
He bought a property alone in the capital, not only bought a yard, but also married three concubines at once, but these were all girls bought from brothels.
After all, it is difficult for a decent family to like Qi Demao.
"Master, please tell us in detail! How big a business this must be to make the master so happy!"
"That's right! If I make more money, we can move to a larger courtyard and hire a few servants... By then we can really live a good life."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing the words of the person in his arms, Qi Demao, who was sitting in the pavilion of the small courtyard, smiled and shook his head and said: "If this business is done well, I can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver at least."
"Hiss...tens of thousands of taels?"
"Master! Are you making fun of us sisters?"
Qi Demao smiled contemptuously and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the street and buy all those giant trees to make money? That's not just to make money however you want!"
...
Wu De tiptoed down from the top of the wall and left Qi Demao's house with the shadow of the moon about to appear on his head.
"Hmph! Master... just wait!"
That night.
The shopkeepers of several well-known giant wood shops in the capital were invited by Wang Siqi to the Baoyuan Bureau. Although it was relatively late, thanks to the recent hot sales of Baoyuan aged wine in the entire capital and surrounding places.
Many people are salivating over it and want a piece of the pie.
"Master Wang...I wonder why you invited us here tonight? Why...?"
"Yeah...it's not too early. How about we finish talking quickly?"
Wang Siqi waved his hand and explained with a smile: "I wonder if any of the shopkeepers have any ideas about the current Baoyuan aging business of Baoyuan Bureau?"
Hiss...I didn't expect it to be Baoyuan aged wine.
The faces of several shopkeepers were instantly filled with shock. The first one was surprised at first, and then asked hesitantly: "Didn't I hear before that this Baoyuan aged wine has been sold out in a short time after it passed through fifty shopkeepers last time?"
Will you never invite foreign investment again?"
"It used to be like this, but now the situation is different... As long as the shopkeepers can help according to what I said, then I, Wang Siqi, will definitely guarantee that everyone will have a share in the Baoyuan Aged Wine business in the future!
