Fang Dingguo's registration of a patent surprised Fang Xiaoyu. After asking his elder brother carefully, he found out that all countries had jointly established a patent alliance decades ago. Patents registered in any country are valid in other countries. The patent rights are fifty years.
Patent registrants can collect patent fees within the year, which makes Fang Xiaoyu, who plans to make big inventions in the future, very happy.
Later, Fang Xiaoyu gave his eldest brother another trick and asked him to open a ready-made clothing shop next to the cloth store. He promoted that as long as he bought cloth at any of the Fang family's cloth stores, he could enjoy half-price clothing discounts here. Fang Xiaoyu just took some
The appearance of clothes on the earth has been sought after by the majority of people in the capital, which has made the business of various cloth shops in the Fang family prosper a lot. Therefore, the only uncle among the brothers, Fang Weiming, who is engaged in business, Fang Xiaoyu, a nephew, also likes it.
They were so impressed that the three grandfathers even praised the two brothers. Later, because of this, Fang Dingguo was transferred to a more important farm for training.
Originally, when Fang Dingguo came this time, he thought that his little brother was going to give him another trick to make a fortune. However, when he saw Fang Xiaoyu's weird smile, he felt a little uneasy. He cautiously tried: "Xiaoyu, don't you
I think he wants to plot against your elder brother." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "A good thing, definitely a good thing."
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's somewhat malicious eyes, Fang Dingguo felt a little unsure. After the last incident of selling handkerchiefs and opening a ready-made clothing store, Fang Dingguo no longer regarded his ten-year-old brother as a child. He Fang Xiaoyu
He smiled and said: "Xiaoyu, big brother gave you a share of the benefits of what happened last time." Fang Xiaoyu curled his lips: "Little brother, I made millions for you, and you only gave me 20,000. This is also called a benefit.
ah."
Fang Dingguo said with a wry smile: "Xiaoyu, it's not like you don't know that the cloth shop belongs to the family, not mine. I only got a bonus of 40,000, and I gave half of it to you." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile:
"Okay, let's not talk about the bonus. It's a good thing this time. Aren't you in charge of the farm?" "Yeah." Fang Dingguo agreed, and then he listened carefully to what his brother would do to him this time.
good idea.
Fang Xiaoyu then said: "How about borrowing a farm for my little brother to play with?" "Okay." Fang Dingguo agreed subconsciously, and then he reacted: "No, no. Then the farm will have to pay rations to the family.
Grain man, what about the taxes if I give you a farm?" After saying this, he glanced at Fang Xiaoyu again and said, "Do you have any good way to increase the output of our farm?" "No." Fang Xiaoyu answered very simply.
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo began to express his bitterness: "Xiaoyu, you also know that our farm has to pay tax and grain, and we have to pay a share to the family, and we have to leave food for the farmers. I won't have anything left. If
How can you live if you call me Big Brother if you are given a place? Besides, if you just say it in front of Grandpa and the others, you will be given a place right away. Why come to Big Brother?"
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I just want you to help me smooth out the taxes. That's why I came to you. If I go to a few grandfathers to ask for it, I still have to pay taxes regularly." Fang Dingguo said with a bitter smile on his face: "Xiaoyu
, Brother is not kind to you, you can't harm me. Didn't Brother try his best to find those strange plants and stones you wanted for you? You must be considerate of Brother's difficulties.
I absolutely cannot give this farm to you."
Fang Xiaoyu patted the eldest brother who was probably half the height of him on the back and said: "Brother, I heard that you went to Zuichun Tower last night, right? If Sister Qixia finds out about this..." After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo's
His face turned even more ugly. The sister Qixia mentioned by Fang Xiaoyu was Chen Qixia, Fang Dingguo’s never-married wife, and the daughter of Chen Qun, the official minister of the Lanfang Empire. The two grew up together and had a good relationship. Fang Dingguo was very fond of this fiancée.
Fang Dingguo smiled bitterly and said, "Business entertainment is definitely business entertainment. Xiaoyu, considering our years of brotherhood, you can't harm me."
"Of course, of course." Fang Xiaoyu agreed with a smile, but his expression was like a big bad wolf deceiving a little white rabbit. Fang Dingguo said: "It's okay to give you a village, but don't even think about the two villages in the west of the city."
The two farms in the west of the city are the two most fertile among the eight farms controlled by Fang Dingguo. It is said that they were given by the emperor after Fang Dingguo's great-grandfather made military exploits. Their grain output is very high.
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Of course, I want the farm at the foot of Lanting Mountain in the north of the city." "Lanting Mountain?" Fang Dingguo was surprised when he heard this. Originally, he wanted the one next to the two farms in the west of the city to be the one by the Nanli River.
The farm was given to him, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted the farm in Lanting Mountain.
That farm has the poorest land among the eight farms. There is no surplus every year, and even some are lost. The only saving grace is the area of the farm, which is three hundred square kilometers in circumference. However, this area
There are more than 200 square kilometers of mountainous land in it, including most of Lanting Mountain. Only the Weishui River that flows beside the mountain has a pretty good production.
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo said: "Xiaoyu, the farm in Lanting Mountain is too poor. How about I give you the farm in Nanli River." Fang Xiaoyu knew that his elder brother was doing this for his own good, but he had his own plans.
, he patted Fang Dingguo on the back again and said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about this. I mainly conduct some agricultural experiments, so I need you to help me smooth the taxes in the first year.
If it goes well, we can make a profit in the second year. Maybe when my experiment comes to fruition, even your farm can benefit." "Really?" Fang Dingguo's eyes lit up after hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words. For this little brother
He was quite convinced. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements. It will be yours starting from tomorrow. Big brother is waiting for your good news." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Just wait and see."
After finishing washing up the next morning, Fang Xiaoyu found a middle-aged man standing outside as soon as he went out. When the middle-aged man saw Fang Xiaoyu coming out, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Sun Huaizong greets the young master." "Who are you?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at it in confusion.
Sun Huaizong asked. "Master Qi, I was sent by the eldest master to help you." Sun Huaizong explained. Fang Xiaoyu nodded secretly. This elder brother was really thoughtful about him: "Okay, you come with me to the farm to have a look.
"Yes, young master. The sedan chair is ready." Sun Huaizong bowed slightly and replied.
Fang Xiaoyu's sedan was a small sedan carried by two people. Sun Huaizong and four experts sent by Fang Dingguo to protect Fang Xiaoyu were riding on both sides of the sedan. Fang Xiaoyu rarely went out, and this was the first time he took a sedan. Sitting in the sedan, Fang Xiaoyu said no
It was fresh, and the comfortable cushions and backrests made him feel more comfortable than riding in a sedan. Looking at the dark roof of the sedan, Fang Xiaoyu said to himself: "It's really comfortable to sit in a sedan, but the light is not good. It would be nice if there was a panoramic sunroof."
Better.”
Sitting in the sedan is very comfortable. The warm sedan blocks the cool breeze outside, and the rocking up and down makes people feel like they are in a cradle. Fang Xiaoyu, who just got up, feels drowsy again.
When he was about to fall asleep, a burst of noise outside suddenly woke him up. Fang Xiaoyu sat up straight and found that the sedan had stopped. He opened the sedan curtain a little and found that Sun Huaizong was scolding a young man in front of him.
, the young man was apologizing with a smile on his face. Seeing this situation, Fang Xiaoyu asked: "Sun Huaizong, what's going on ahead."
Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Sun Huaizong hurried over and said: "Master, it's nothing. It was a little beggar who stole the buns. The waiter at the bun shop discovered it. They started fighting in the street and blocked the young master's way. I will tell them to get out of here."
"Fang Xiaoyu was used to being a common man in his previous life and hated bullying others. He said: "No need, I'll go down and see what's going on."
After hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Sun Huaizong immediately opened the sedan curtain and invited him out. After getting out of the sedan, Fang Xiaoyu saw clearly that there was a ragged young man lying at the feet of the young man who was short and beaten. He walked over quickly and looked at the young man.
The young man, who was obviously a store clerk, glanced at him and said, "No more beatings. Don't you have children? Why are you so cruel?" The clerk was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out. He stood aside with his head lowered and said yes repeatedly.
Fang Xiaoyu personally stepped forward to help the young man up, and found that he was only eight or nine years old. Although his nose and face were bruised and swollen from the beating, his face had a resolute expression, and he was still holding tightly a bun covered with dust in his hand.
Fang Xiaoyu said softly: "Brother, do you have any injuries on your body? Do you want to see a doctor?" Seeing Fang Xiaoyu dressed in gorgeous clothes and following his entourage, he knew that he must be a young master from a wealthy family. Seeing that he was so polite to him, the young man's
His expression also softened, and he replied: "Sir, I have nothing to do. Thank you for saving me." Seeing the young man's sallow face, Fang Xiaoyu asked: "You haven't eaten in a few days."
"Come back, uncle, I haven't eaten in two days." The young man replied in a low voice, a little embarrassed. Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said to the boy next to him: "Go get me two buns." The boy hurried in to get the buns.
, and soon the two buns were delivered to Fang Xiaoyu's hands. Fang Xiaoyu stuffed the buns into the boy's hands and said, "Eat it quickly. If the bun is full of ashes, don't take it anymore. You can eat it clean."
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, the young man thanked him profusely, but he just grabbed the bun and refused to put it in his mouth. Fang Xiaoyu asked doubtfully: "Didn't you not eat for two days? Why didn't you eat?" The young man said: "Uncle, I
Can you take these three buns back? My brothers and sisters haven’t eaten for a few days." Hearing the young man’s words, Fang Xiaoyu felt sad for a while: "Okay, I will go and take a look with you."
Then Fang Xiaoyu turned to the shop assistant next to him and said, "Bring me ten or twenty more steamed buns, and we'll pay the bill together." The steamed buns were quickly taken out, and when Fang Xiaoyu touched his pocket, he realized that he didn't bring any money today.
Originally, Fang Xiaoyu rarely went out on weekdays, so he naturally didn't have the habit of carrying money with him. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's awkward expression of fumbling around in his pocket, Sun Huaizong immediately knew what was going on, and he immediately stepped forward and ordered the guard to take the buns.
, threw a few silver coins to the waiter and waved his hand to make him retreat, and then whispered in Fang Xiaoyu’s ear: "Young Master, before I came, the young master was afraid that you would have insufficient funds, so he asked me to bring 50,000 yuan in funds. He
You also asked me to tell the young master that he is waiting for your good news."
After listening to Sun Huaizong's words, Fang Xiaoyu smiled. This eldest brother is definitely a material for big business. He is really willing to invest capital, and the price is only 50,000.
