Chapter 29 Maximizing Profits
"What? He really said that?"
A roar rang out in the backyard of the Duke of Wei's mansion. The contemporary Duke of Wei Xu Hongji looked at the Manager Liang who was kneeling in front of him with red eyes.
Liang Shou knelt on the ground and choked and said, "Mr. Master, it's true. There is no false statement from the villain. Not only did Yang Feng refuse your summons, but he also said rude words, and even... he also mocked the King of Zhongshan for being sentenced to death by Taizu. The villain... he just argued with him for a few words, and then he was driven out!"
"How dare you bully me!" Xu Hongji was so angry that he trembled all over. His ancestors were sneered. In this day, it was simply an irreconcilable hatred. How could he bear it?
"Come here, send someone to capture the arrogant man to me immediately. I will cut him into pieces!"
In a rage, Xu Hongji immediately issued such an order. Just as the general on the side responded and was about to leave, a butler hurried in and whispered a few words in Xu Hongji's ear. Xu Hongji's face immediately turned male.
"Okay, it turns out that he has climbed the path of Eunuch Cao. No wonder he doesn't take my Duke Wei's Mansion in his eyes." Xu Hongji's face turned pale in anger and laughed. This was the first time he heard that he was ridiculed for the cause of his ancestors' death in person. Yang Feng alone must not let go, let alone Yang Feng lost his face. Thinking that his Duke Wei's Mansion has been entrenched in Nanjing for hundreds of years, and he has never been so embarrassed by others. If this place is not brought back, wouldn't it be ridiculed for the rest of his life?
Just when he wanted to insist on sending a monk to capture Yang Feng, the general said again: "Mr. Master, the villain also heard that Yang Feng had been appointed by the Ministry of War as the Qianhu District of Jiangdongmen, and had already taken office yesterday."
"What, that kid has become a thousand households?"
Xu Hongji frowned immediately, and the first time he felt that this matter was a little troublesome.
This is the difference between having an official position and not having an official position. When there is no official position, Yang Feng is just an ant in Xu Hongji's eyes. He can pinch whatever he wants. Even if he kills his whole family, it is just a matter of one sentence. But once Yang Feng has an official position, it will be different. After having an official position, it means that Yang Feng has also entered the ruling class. There is another set of rules for the struggle between the ruling class. He can falsely accuse Yang Feng of rebellion or sue him for greed, but he cannot directly send people to capture Yang Feng or harm his family. After all, any class has its own unspoken rules. If this rule and taboo is violated, it will be attacked by all people.
Xu Hongji's title at this time was Duke of Guo, and his position was the garrison of Nanjing. He was in charge of the city defense of Nanjing and the thousands of battalions in Nanjing, but he had no jurisdiction over the garrison outside Nanjing. Because the troops of the garrison were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War in Beijing, he had no jurisdiction. Cao Dazhong saw it clearly, so he gave Yang Feng a position of Qianhou, a thousand households in Dongjiangmen. Although a fifth-rank thousand households were inferior to Xu Hongji, a super-ranked Duke of Guo, who was stuck in his throat like a fish bone, so that Xu Hongji could not do anything to him.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Hongji said to the housekeeper beside him: "You immediately take my post to the Ministry of War to find Shangshu Jiang, and say it was my intention. Please don't send a piece of grain to the thousand households in Jiangdongmen in the future!"
"The villain understands!" The housekeeper quickly took the order and left.
"Yang Feng, Yang Feng, I want to see, how can you support thousands of people in Thousand Houses after the court's relief and grain? Then I want to see who can protect you..."
Yang Feng naturally didn't know that someone was calculating him. At this time, he had returned to his house on Chaotian Palace Street. When Yang Laishun saw his young master wearing a military uniform and a flying bear embroidered on his chest, he was so excited that he couldn't even read it. Although he couldn't read a single word, he knew very clearly that his young master was already a fifth-rank military officer and could hold his chest out when he went out in the future.
Looking at Yang Laishun and his wife who were so excited that they shed tears, Yang Feng really couldn't figure out where their excitement came from. It seemed that the person involved, brother, wasn't so excited.
However, before Yang Feng could think about anything, Yang Laishun reported that yesterday, Shopkeeper Shi sent someone to deliver a large box. Since Yang Feng was not there, the person who came to put down the box and went back. Yang Laishun did not dare to check it out, so he moved the boxes into the backyard and locked them up, waiting for Yang Feng to deal with it.
After hearing this, Yang Feng took the key and went into the backyard without saying much. When he opened the box, the dazzling gold and antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade jewelry and other things in the box almost blinded Yang Feng's titanium alloy eyes.
"Damn... this... how much money can you exchange for modern times?" Yang Feng was so excited that he couldn't speak. He had only one thought in his mind, that is, he would be developed. As long as he had done these things, he would be able to live without worries in the second half of his life in modern society.
With excitement, Yang Feng returned to his warehouse in modern society that night with the help of the bright moonlight. The next day, he immediately rented a pickup truck and transported the box to the headquarters of the auction house in the distance. When the appraisers of the auction house rushed over and saw a box of antiques and gold jade. Even though they claimed to be knowledgeable, they were shocked. Has this guy stole a curtain? Why did he get so many good things? However, this idea was quickly dispelled by them, because these treasures did not have the slightest smell of newly unearthed cultural relics, and they were very popular, and they were obviously played with them from time to time.
Several appraisers who were puzzled were classifying and evaluating these things while suppressing their doubts. After a few hours, these antiques were classified into categories. At this time, the deputy general manager of Yuanfang Auction House said seriously to Yang Feng: "Mr. Yang, the treasure you brought this time is higher than the things you brought last time, but this will make it difficult for us to deal with."
"What, are you still difficult to deal with when the things are done?" Yang Feng expressed his discomfort to the words of the deputy general manager.
"That's not, you misunderstood."
The vice president, who was afraid that Yang Feng would misunderstand, quickly explained: "The market in Nanjing is so big. We just held an auction a few days ago. Now, if the auction is about to be held in less than half a month, it will easily cause market fatigue, which will directly affect our returns. Besides, the market in Nanjing is still a little smaller, and it is not as good as in Yanjing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. So I suggest that our next auction be held in Hong Kong or Shanghai, so that we can maximize our interests."
"That's how..."
Yang Feng thought about it and agreed without hesitation. After all, no one will have a grudge against money. He will naturally not let go of the opportunity to make money. After all, he will have to make a big purchase next time.
