Chapter 20: Smart and confused

If I live, otherwise I would have been beaten to the head long ago. Last time it was luck, but if I encountered an assassin who took the opportunity to assassinate the Lord of the Dutong this time, it would not be so good.

With a calm face, Ye Zhao frowned and said, "You are getting more and more courageous!"

Rui Si laughed aggrievedly and said a few words. Ye Zhao didn't hear it clearly, and became even more angry: "Why don't you send someone to the Penglai courtyard?"

He was stuffed with earplugs, but he didn't hear Qing Ruisi's words, but he didn't realize it, but the sound was loud.

After hearing Rui Si introduce his identity, the evil young man opened his mouth and wanted to send him into the brothel. Grandma Jin's eyes turned dark and she almost fainted on the ground.

Rui Si laughed apologetically and pointed carefully at his ears. Ye Zhao suddenly woke up and reached out to pull out the two earplugs. Rui Si put it in Ye Zhao's ear and whispered: "Master, this is Tao Lao Er's wife, the second grandmother Jin, who is here to make love." After saying that, he lowered his hands and retreated, "Slave is waiting outside."

Grandma Jin was in a state of confusion and didn't see Ye Zhao's actions. The evil young man was so reckless. She wanted to escape for a moment, but she didn't want to make a creak. Rui Si gently brought the door outside.

"Ah..." Ye Zhao stood up with his waist stretched and opened his mouth. Grandma Jin was so scared that she took a few steps back, leaned against the table, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do?" She grew up so old, she was so confused and so afraid of someone.

Ye Zhao frowned and thought to himself, "Who does this tigress think of me?" Ye Zhao really has no good feelings for the notorious second grandmother Jin. It would be too unreasonable to bully her husband in this era.

"I want me to ask you what you want to do, right?" Ye Zhao said lightly, walked to the rosewood basin rack, picked up a white towel and wiped his face, then sighed, shook his head and muttered: "This is hot weather, so you have to take a cool shower to feel comfortable."

When Grandma Jin heard this, she felt like a little indifferent. How could she know Ye Zhao’s habit of speaking? She thought that the evil young master was lustful. She turned around and saw the small scissors cutting paper on the table. She grabbed it suddenly, aimed it at her snow-white and seductive neck, and shouted: “Young Young Master! If you take another step forward, Jin Feng will die for you!”

Ye Zhao was still thinking about how to use the existing technology to get a shower, but the room suddenly changed, which made him stunned.

"Let go!" Ye Zhao frowned. He didn't have the patience to coax the confused young woman. He looked at Grandma Jin with a calm face and said, "Do you think death is the most terrible? If you die here today, your Tao family and Shi family will definitely be worse than death. I heard that you are the most filial to your mother. If you die now, I will make her miserable a hundred times more miserable!"

The beautiful Ye Zhao was like a devil in the eyes of the second grandma Jin at this moment. Her pretty face was pale, and her hands holding the scissors were trembling violently.

"I won't let it go!" Ye Zhao shouted softly, and Grandma Jin's body trembled, and with a "pop", the scissors fell to the ground.

"Pick it up and put it on." Ye Zhao only felt that this woman was not as smart as the legendary one. She was so stupid that she was not polite. Only Ye Zhao, who is smart, capable and famous in Guangzhou, could only regard her as a fool.

Grandma Jin bit her red lips with silver teeth, and tears were almost falling. After so many years, how could she have been treated so rudely?

"Forget it, tell me what you are going to do!" Ye Zhao felt a secret in his heart when he saw the beauty's appearance. Why did he feel like he was bullying a woman?

Seeing that Ye Zhao didn't let her pick scissors, Grandma Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At that moment, she seemed to have taken some big advantage, and then she became extremely depressed. When did she be so unpromising?

"Talk?" Ye Zhao had already made plans for the Tao family property and had been waiting to talk to Mrs. Jin for a long time. He thought that the rumor that Mrs. Jin was smart and open-minded, and might be a helper of the new plan. Who knew that he was simply a crazy woman, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and was not very bright.

"I...I..." Grandma Jin, who was usually full of wisdom and stingy and fierce, suddenly got stuck, as if she was born to be restrained by Ye Zhao. I don't know why, I couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Ye Zhao was even more helpless and said, "Do you want to pay back the money slowly? The interest rate is, you must want to give less or not?"

Grandma Jin was even more frightened. How did this evil young man know?

"Is that right?" Ye Zhao looked at her helplessly.

"Yes...yes..." Grandma Jin Er dared not look at Ye Zhao, and looked down at the embroidered shoes exposed on the hem of her skirt.

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "This is not true. I have checked. Although your Tao family has a large industry, the expenditure is not small. De Shunxing on Hong Kong Island is said to be the masterpiece of your second grandmother. It is the best momentum, but one thing is that you are still eating silver. If you don't have any money, you will invest it sooner or later. But if you want to invest the money as usual, then I want to take back the 100,000 taels of silver, but it will not take a hundred or eighty years? Even if De Shunxing becomes trendy in a few years, the bigger the business, the more you need the silver. Here, you will have to pay it off for twenty or thirty years. This is not the interest. Isn't that kind of account?"

Grandma Jin nodded again and said "Yes".

Ye Zhao said, "Then tell me, why should I wait for twenty or thirty years? I don't know which master you learned from, but it's really a good fight."

Grandma Jin thought to herself that you were in vain. Haven’t you taken advantage of the money for twenty or thirty years? Isn’t this a good move to be good? She was justified and shameless! But how dare she say it? She whispered: “Young Master…Young Master is kind-hearted…” In front of Ye Zhao, her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Okay! I don't listen to this!" Ye Zhao waved his hand and interrupted her. He said, "Don't say I won't give you a way to live in the Tao family. So, I have a suggestion. In this year, you can sell the Tao family's business and the land you should sell, including De Shunxing, too! This year is enough to negotiate the buyer, and you can settle down the friend who makes a living with your Tao family. I think it's okay to raise 80,000 or 90,000 taels of silver."

"You..." Grandma Jin finally raised her head and thought to herself that you are too cruel.

Ye Zhao continued: "We will do a deal with these silvers, iron smelting plants. In a few days, I will write to someone to order stoves in the West to recruit workers. When our money is prepared, the stoves and workers will arrive in Guangzhou! I will have enough time this year to clear the doors and open the iron ban."

Iron ore is not mined casually at present. After the First Sino-British War, the court repeatedly issued an order to implement an "iron ban".

Grandma Jin bit her lip and didn't say anything, but she felt cruel in her heart. Can you clear the way and do what I do? The court sealed you and chopped your head!

Who knew Ye Zhao said again: "This iron factory is for you 10% of the stock, for you, Grandma Jin, not the Tao family. You remember this clearly. And I guess, you can earn back the 100,000 taels of silver in ten or eight years."

Grandma Jin was stunned and looked at Ye Zhao incredibly.

In fact, this was what Ye Zhao had planned early. He used the Tao family's money to buy an iron factory with modern technology. Foshan has many iron ore, and has developed water and land, and coal transportation is extremely smooth. Although in fact, in terms of resource distribution, Guangzhou is definitely not the best place to run an iron factory. At present, pig iron in the province can only be transported to Foshan for casting. Private casting is illegal, and there is no precedent to establish an iron factory. I can only run it in Guangzhou to get official approval. Moreover, resources cannot be regarded as a problem. Is Japan poor? But more than ten years later, the Meiji Restoration began. In just over twenty years, industry and commerce developed rapidly, and finally defeated the Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese War, and then defeated Russia, becoming a member of the world's military power club.

The real problem of running an iron plant is how to obtain "official patents". If it is really difficult, the last solution is to open an iron plant on Hong Kong Island, and the Qing Dynasty will not be in charge.

When I set up an iron factory and gave Grandma Jin Er's shares, I hope that she could help take care of her, that is, to give her motivation, and to slowly return the money to her. Although Tao Lao Er is not a thing, it is unreasonable to take the property for no reason. I gave the money to Grandma Jin Er's name, and Tao Lao Er could not get the money but did not do his own business.

Although Ye Zhao was disappointed after seeing Grandma Jin herself, she was afraid that she could not manage the iron factory well and she had to find another candidate, but the shares still had to be given.

"There is a document on the table. If you have any questions, you can see it. But there is one thing, this is a commercial secret, don't reveal it." Ye Zhao pointed to the table and said, "Take it, you can leave!" He clapped his hands. "Si'er, open the door and send the second grandma back home!"
