26. Chapter 26 There is something strange about blocking horses in the street
Compared with the lobby, the second floor was much more elegant. Du Rufeng followed the man up to the second floor. The first thing he saw was not the spaces separated by screens that he was used to.
Most of the lush and huge second floor is full of greenery. In the middle of the greenery, someone is sitting slantedly on a wicker chair covered with brocade cushions, whispering something to his companions, while someone else is
Leaning on the railing, looking at the hustle and bustle downstairs, it was like looking at the scenery.
As he came closer, the two people who were talking in a low voice looked up at him and stopped talking. Du Rufeng had a vague impression of the person in front of him. It seemed that he had just talked to this person downstairs. He just said:
When the other party socialized for a while, I didn't expect that the other party actually remembered me.
"Boss Du, sit down, sit down!" The man was very polite. The young man who was talking to him also nodded slightly towards him. Du Rufeng sat down in confusion.
"Boss Du's horse and carriage business is booming now. I invite Boss Du to come up. I have a business to discuss with Boss Du. I apologize for my rudeness!" the man said.
Du Rufeng suddenly remembered that this somewhat thin man seemed to be the director of a certain club. His surname seemed to be Zhang or Liu or something. It was a very common surname. When he saw him at that time, fortunately, there was someone there.
Several businessmen gathered around him, talking about something. But it didn't matter, as long as there was business to be done. The other party had connections and seemed willing to take care of his own business. For him, this was a worthwhile trip.
.
"No, no, isn't Du just relying on everyone to give him a bowl of rice? He said he was prosperous, and he was praised too much. He was just miserable!" He was slightly humble.
"That's it. I don't know where Boss Du's business has gone now. Is this business going to be accepted by Southern Zhili, or will it also be done in Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places?"
Du Rufeng smiled sarcastically and said, "You think too much of Du. However, in this southern Zhili area, Du's place can still be reached by horse and carriage. If it's further away, you won't be able to catch me. I have such a small business.
, how can it be compared to all the powerful people who are here today!"
"Boss Du's carriage and horse shop, how many carriages and horses does it have now?" The young man who was silent on the side suddenly interjected.
Du Rufeng glanced at the young man, a little displeased. This is too unruly. When the elders are talking about business, can this junior interrupt casually? Moreover, asking such a question, if it were not in this Sihai Guild Hall
, he almost suspected that the other party was a competitor who came to find out his details.
"It doesn't matter, if it's not convenient for Boss Du to tell you, I can still figure it out!" The young man saw Du Rufeng's expression and smiled slightly, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Qian Wubing,
I did an errand at the Zhenfu Department!"
Zhenfu Division? That’s the Jinyiwei. Du Rufeng saw quite a few Jinyiwei today. He knew that the relationship between the Jinyiwei at the Sihai Guild Hall must have been taken care of, so he didn’t really care about it, just slightly.
"Oh".
However, the next words from the other side made him immediately panic.
"Qian Baihu is also the owner of Sihai Guild Hall. You might as well get closer to Boss Du!" The man stood up and said, "As I get older and sit for a long time, my muscles and bones are a little sore. Qian Baihu, Boss Du, you two can talk, I
Move around!”
Watching the other person walking downstairs with some anxiety, Du Rufeng looked at the young man in front of him. He didn't know what the other person wanted him to do specifically. Is he really giving him a big deal, or was he just someone else in the Sihai Guild Hall?
What disrespectful words or deeds have offended the other party?
"Boss Du hasn't answered my question yet?" Qian Wubing smiled gently, gently pushed the hot tea brought by the servant to Du Rufeng: "Boss Du, please use the tea!"
"Two hundred and sixteen large cars!" Looking at the steam rising from the tea cup, he was silent for a moment and reported a number.
"Two hundred and sixteen vehicles, that's a little less. If you include the driver, there are roughly three hundred people, right!?" Qian Baihu on the opposite side frowned slightly, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with this number.
"Where are the horses? How many horses are there?"
"There are more than four hundred horses!" Du Rufeng answered more and more carefully, and the other party frowned. For him, this was a good thing. Looking at the place, he was not satisfied. Apparently he felt that he had too few horses and horses. Could it be that
If you really have a big business to take care of yourself, you can make a lot of money from these. Even if the business is good on weekdays, on average, half of the cars and horses are sitting at home.
"It seems to be barely enough for the time being!" Qian Baihu muttered, seeming to be thinking about something. Du Rufeng held his breath and looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes full of hope.
"I have two suggestions. Well, I just discussed it with Liu Weng. We all have the same idea. Let's talk it over with Boss Du!"
Qian Wubing's fingers were on the table, tapping lightly unconsciously. Liu Zigu's words reminded him that relying on the business information exchanges in the guild hall can indeed meet most needs, but for those whose business is getting bigger,
Yes, the information must be more accurate. Such customers are customers who can bring a lot of revenue to the Sihai Guild Hall. Their requirements must be met as soon as possible.
"First, our Sihai Guild Hall wants to make such a deal with Boss Du. Boss Du has cars, horses, and people. If our Sihai Guild Hall has any needs, and wants to know the market conditions of a certain place, I can leave this task to Boss Du.
, is Boss Du confident that he can do it to our satisfaction?"
"This..." Du Rufeng hesitated. It sounded like this was indeed a big deal. However, the business of the Sihai Guild Hall was spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. Now that I heard that most of the carriages and horses were traveling for short distances, it seemed a bit...
It's beyond my capabilities.
"Second, how much is Boss Du's horse and carriage shop worth? Please come up with a charter. I, the Sihai Guild Hall, will use real money to invest in the shares, just for convenience. Of course, it is my own business. If you need a car in the future,
When you are a horse, you will never take advantage of others, this is human nature!"
"This..." Du Rufeng was horrified. Is this an attempt to seize his property? Looking at the young man talking in front of him, he suddenly realized that if he really wanted to seize his property, he would not need any other help.
If only his Jin Yiwei took action, he wouldn't have much room to fight back.
"Don't worry, there is no need for Boss Du to reply now. Boss Du can think about it. If Boss Du has no intention of running this horse and carriage business, it is okay to sell it directly to me, Sihai Guild Hall!"
Du Rufeng left the Sihai Guild Hall absent-mindedly. He did not expect that coming to the Sihai Guild Hall today would have such a result. He really considered this matter carefully, but the top priority was to carefully inquire about the Sihai Guild Hall and
Only the details of Jin Yiwei Qian Baihu's family can determine the countermeasures.
"How about it? What would he say?" Liu Zigu emerged from nowhere and stood behind Qian Wubing.
"I don't know, but you are right. If we had done this all the time, not to mention the effort, the cost would be much higher than buying a horse and carriage dealership directly. Brother Liu is in business after all, and his brains are better than mine.
too much."
Qian Wubing laughed.
"Why don't you see Miss Sun coming here today? I heard from Brother Qian that Miss Sun loves the excitement the most. It would be a pity to miss such excitement today!!" Liu Zigu said seemingly regretfully. He had been holding back these words for a long time.
I didn’t mention it until now.
"I informed her. I don't know what this girl is busy with. I don't care about her. Maybe she is already on the way now?"
Qian Wubing was right. Sun Qian was already on the road at the moment, and he was in the middle of the road. However, he was not coming towards the Sihai Guild Hall on the road, but was standing in the middle of the road, quarreling with others!
When Sun Qian came out, she didn't have the habit of riding in a sedan chair. She had a wilder temper than other girls, and Wang Yue doted on her. Her means of transportation was a green gelding horse given to Wang Yue by someone else, and Wang Yue gave it to her. I don't know.
How happy she was.
It’s okay for Miss Sun not to go out. If she does go out, she must ride this green horse. With this habit, not to mention Zhang Erlang who serves him, even the servants guarding the eunuch’s mansion, all of them died in a few days.
Clear.
Therefore, early in the morning, Sun Qian happily rode a green horse and took Zhang Erlang out. This joy was something wrong with her happiness.
Walking along the long street is something that dandy boys love to do. Miss Sun naturally doesn't bother to do it and will not do it. She slowly walked towards the bull market along the way, but when she arrived at the outer east gate, she was stopped by someone.
Already.
The person who stopped him was a yamen officer from Yingtian Mansion, which she was also very surprised about. But when she heard that these yamen officers suspected that she, a young horse, had come to the wrong way and wanted to take her to Yingtian Mansion yamen,
She sneered.
Zhang Erlang opened his mouth to tell the name of the eunuch guarding the eunuch's mansion, but she stopped him. Who didn't know that she was Wang Yue's most beloved junior, not to mention whether any of the Yamen servants in Yingtian mansion stopped to ask when they saw a girl riding a horse on the street.
Good habit. Even if the other party has such a plan, will they attack without asking any questions? Are they not worried about offending the wrong person? The nobles in Nanjing can grab a handful of them and provoke the wrong one.
His anger is not something that this small Yamen servant of Yingtian Mansion can withstand!
This was aimed at my uncle! Sun Qian made a judgment right away. She was born in an official family, but she still recognized this logic. So, although she allowed the other party to challenge him, sneered and refused to cooperate, she also
She refused to follow these government officials to Yingtianfu Yamen. She wanted to see who was hiding behind these government officials. Compared with the lobby, the second floor was much more elegant. Du Rufeng followed
Following the man up to the second floor, the first thing he saw was not the spaces separated by screens that he was used to on weekdays, but a lush and huge second floor, with most places full of greenery.

Consider a landscape.
