Money and silk move people's hearts, and this has been true since ancient times.

The slightest bit of unhappiness in everyone's hearts because of Gu Fan's threat had already flown to the sky at this moment.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver for three months, if calculated equally among the eight people present, each person can get more than 60,000 taels, and this is only three months' income.

Pei Yue added another fire: "Coal cakes can not only keep warm, but can also replace firewood. Of course, the usage in other seasons will not be as large as in winter. But as long as we can develop steadily, you brothers should be able to estimate the growth of this business."

value."

Everyone's brains began to work rapidly.

In winter, the monthly income is more than 20,000 taels. In normal times, even if it is half discounted, it is only 10,000 taels. So, there will be a clean income of 150,000 taels a year. Although the rich and powerful children present are not short of money, this is only a relative term.

, for example, Lu Chengcheng, nicknamed Mangzi, could only drool looking at the precious stallion worth 5,000 taels in Qibao Pavilion.

It's not that Lu Cheng couldn't afford the five thousand taels, he just couldn't bear it. If he could easily earn more than ten thousand taels every month, he would definitely smash the banknote directly in the face of the shopkeeper of Qibao Pavilion.

This is just Pei Yue's most conservative calculation. As long as the profit is slightly doubled, the final figure will be staggering enough.

Lu Cheng said excitedly: "I'm going to do this business. How do I do it? Brother Yue, please give me the regulations!"

Others also echoed.

Seeing that the time had come, Pei Yue smiled and said: "I have established a business called Xiangyun Hao. The coal cake business is Xiangyun Hao's first industry. All brothers can invest in the coal cake business, but it needs to be explained in advance.

, everyone spends money to buy shares, and the accounts will be closed at the end of each year, and dividends will be distributed according to the shares you hold. After deducting all costs and expenses for the year, all profits will be distributed as dividends, and the firm will not withhold half of the cent.

"

Sun Qi frowned and asked: "According to what Brother Pei Xian wants, we only invest money and get dividends, but we don't participate in the specific management of this business?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Not bad."

Everyone was a little hesitant, obviously feeling that this was not in line with their ideas.

Their purpose is not only to make money, but also to demonstrate their abilities through this matter, thereby occupying a more important position in the hearts of the elders in the family.

Pei Yue continued: "After the business is started, I will ask experienced shopkeepers to be responsible for daily management and sales. As for the production of coal cakes, my people will be responsible for it. Of course, you brothers will not be idle. You also have a very important one."

Position."

Lu Cheng asked: "What position?"

Pei Yue replied: "Even the imperial court has a supervisory censor. We can't let me have the final say on everything here. So in addition to enjoying the dividends, you brothers also have to serve as the supervisory censor for our business at any time.

You can all check the accounts, and in addition, you must supervise my specific operations. If there is anything wrong, we can discuss it together. As long as the seven of you agree, you can remove me from the operation and replace it with one of you."

This may seem like a selfless statement, but in fact, because of Gu Fan's existence, it is almost impossible for the Supervisory Committee to form a unified opinion.

But for Sun Qi and others, their friendship with Gu Fan is not shallow, and their confidence cannot be lost to Pei Yue, a white-bodied bastard who suddenly appeared.

The reason why Pei Yue did this was not because he was deliberately scheming, but because he knew very well that at the beginning of starting a business, he had to be highly centralized. Otherwise, if the children of these powerful people started to fight, and you wanted to go east and I wanted to go west, nothing might be accomplished in the end.

He can give away his supervisory power completely and cannot let others influence and interfere with his decision-making power.

Otherwise, why go to all the trouble to create such a big plate?

It's not like he can't earn some pocket money.

Sun Qi roughly guessed Pei Yue's thoughts, and was surprised but couldn't help but admire him. You must know that Pei Yue's idea is almost stepping on their bottom line. If it were replaced by those dudes who only know how to fight bravely, his idea would not be realized.

.

After a moment of silence, he calmly asked: "Brother Pei Xian, what do you mean by your words? In the future, the company will not just be a coal cake business?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Yes, if the coal cake business can be successfully run, I will open up some new business avenues in the future."

Sun Qi said calmly: "I will follow the coal cake business, but I have a small condition."

Pei Yue straightened his body and said, "Brother Sun Shi, please speak."

Sun Qi smiled and said: "Since Fourth Young Master specially invited me here, I must give him face no matter what, so I will purchase 10% of the Xiangyun coal cake business on behalf of Shanguo Gongfu. As Brother Pei Xian said, I only

Invest money and enjoy the dividends. As for the supervisory power, I may not have time to take care of it. I will send a manager to check the accounts. After this business is launched, if Xiangyun Hao wants to do other things, it must first cooperate with the company under my name.

.”

He paused and said with emphasis: "It's cooperation."

Pei Yue applauded in his heart and said solemnly: "Brother, I think so highly of me, Pei Yue naturally couldn't ask for more. But regarding the shares in the coal cake business, I must make it clear to you brothers first. One tenth share is priced at 50,000 taels of silver, and each share is worth 50,000 taels of silver."

People can only purchase a maximum of 10%, and if we want to change hands in the future, all eight of us must be present to agree before the number can be counted."

He looked at the others and asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Cheng said loudly: "Brother Yue is kind in his work. Fifty thousand taels is not expensive. I want it!"

Yu Tong smiled and said: "In comparison, Brother Sun is a bit unkind."

Sun Qi asked: "What does this mean?"

Yu Tong glanced at Pei Yue and sighed: "Brother Pei Xian must have more than this recipe. It's just because the coal cake business is convenient and has quick results. I believe he must have other good recipes, maybe.

You can make a lot of money by taking it out. Brother Sun is indeed the smartest one among us. Not only did he negotiate the coal cake business, but he also occupied the entire road behind it."

Only then did the others suddenly realize. Lu Mangzi patted his thigh and bluntly said that Sun Qi was a thief.

Yu Tong continued to say to Pei Yue: "I want this lot too. Brother Pei Xian, my family also has a business and a lot of shops. You can't favor one over the other. The opportunity for cooperation in the future cannot be without our Yu family."

They are not simple characters.

Pei Yue sighed in his heart. Although these people did not take the matter of briquettes to an extreme, they took a longer-term view, and their words were cooperative. In other words, they never thought of becoming Pei Yue's vassals and relying on his

Live by giving alms.

Will Pei Yue refuse?

Of course he is not that stupid. His previous insistence on arbitrary power in the coal cake business was his bottom line. These people can understand it, and at most they can't come to an agreement, so it won't hurt the harmony. But when they buy the shares,

It means that the relationship between the two parties has changed. If you refuse at this time, you will not give them dignity.

An honorable nobleman had lost his dignity, not to mention Gu Fan was in charge, even if Gu Liang was here, Pei Yue could not quell the anger of these people.

"Brother Yu Shi is joking, I am not the kind of person who has no sense of measure. The coal cake business is the first business of Xiangyun Hao, so I have to manage it myself. If I want to do other things in the future, I will definitely ask you to cooperate.

The model will not be the same as the coal cake business."

Pei Yue's promise made everyone look much better.

After a simple negotiation, Gu Fan, Sun Qi, Yu Tong and Lu Cheng each subscribed for one share, and the other three together subscribed for two shares.

Of course, things cannot be confirmed casually, and a formal deed must be signed. Pei Yue is the owner of Xiangyun, the others represent their respective mansions, and Guangping Hou Guliang serves as the middleman.

Hearing the name of the middle-aged man, everyone couldn't help but look at Pei Yue more highly. Originally they thought that this young man was just close to Gu Fan, but now it seems that it may not be that simple. Otherwise, with Gu Liang's identity and character, I am afraid that Gu Fan will

I don't have the guts to ask him to be the middleman.

But this way, they became more confident in this matter.

Pei Yue made an agreement with them to meet in Beijing the day after tomorrow. At that time, he would invite Gu Liang to be present in person and then sign the deed.

After sending these slightly excited young men of power away, Pei Yue gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Gu Fan didn't leave. He looked at the tired look in the corners of Pei Yue's eyes and asked, "How sure are you about this matter?"

Pei Yue thought for a moment and said: "I'm not 100% sure, but there won't be any loss."

The most troublesome part of this matter is the piece of land in Shouyang Mountain. As long as it can be obtained smoothly, there won't be much trouble in the future. If it really can't be done, we can only return those people's money. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is

It won't make him depressed.

But in that case, Xiangyun Hao will be stillborn, and he may not consider the way of being a merchant again for a long time.

Gu Fan asked in confusion: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

According to his idea, Pei Yue could plan carefully in Zhuangzi for a few years and then do it when the time is right.
