Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan got back the special medicine and gave it to Hua Yue...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan went to the mining area alone, while Hua Yue temporarily stayed at the chief steward's residence to recuperate.
The capsule that Ma Xiaoquan gave Hua Yue to swallow was actually a nanorobot. After he went back to the underground world, he asked his colleagues at the medical school to make it in a hurry.
Treatment is more complicated.
Fortunately, the medical technology in the underground world is decades more advanced than that in the above-ground world, so Hua Yue's disease is not considered an insurmountable disease for Ma Xiaoquan's colleagues.
However... since it was a nanorobot made in a hurry, and it was also the first one to be made, Ma Xiaoquan had no way of verifying its specific effects, so he could only give it a try first.
...
It was already five days before we returned to the mining area.
The mining area at this time was already very different from what it was before Ma Xiaoquan left. Especially every road in the mining area had been renovated and looked very clean and tidy.
I met with Uncle Tong, who gave Ma Xiaoquan a detailed report on the management and operation of the mining area these days. After listening to Uncle Tong's report, Ma Xiaoquan was very satisfied.
Ma Tong was also very satisfied with the management of the mining area. After all, he did it himself, and it really took a lot of effort on his part.
Ma Xiaoquan said to Tong Ma: "Uncle Tong, I have given the salt shipment to the Hua family for them to take care of. This copper mine still needs our own people to take care of it."
Ma Tong said: "Don't worry, after staying in the copper mine these days, I have already developed feelings for this place. Well, there is also the huge snake. It comes up from time to time. We have become friends."
Ma Xiaoquan was surprised: "Uncle Tong became friends with the giant dragon? I really didn't expect that..."
Ma Tong smiled and shook his head: "I am actually nothing, but Hua Qingqing and Bei Mingxue have a much stronger relationship with the big snake than me."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head: "I really didn't expect that, eh? Where is Qingxue? I came, why didn't I see her?"
Ma Tong sighed and said: "Not long after you left, Miss Qingxue suddenly received a letter, saying that his tribe had been found, and she went to join them..."
"Oh, that's it. Well, I hope she'll be happy."
While the two were talking, Bei Mingxue and Hua Qingqing came in. When they saw Ma Xiaoquan, the two girls were very happy and chattered around Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Tong wisely withdrew, while Ma Xiaoquan listened helplessly to the chirping of these two beauties.
At night, Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Tong discussed the next plan in the study.
Ma Tong suggested gradually expanding the Ma family's business so that they could better make money.
Ma Xiaoquan naturally agreed with Ma Tong's suggestion, but with the current financial strength of the Ma family, investing alone may not be enough to cover the whole country.
Ma Tong made another bold suggestion: Since we are cooperating with the Hua family, we must also bring the Hua family together. Of course, in terms of sharing, at least the Ma family will get seven points, while the Hua family can only get three, and the Hua family can only "invest"
", cannot participate in business operations.
Ma Xiaoquan agreed with Ma Tong's suggestion. The Hua family also wanted to re-emerge as a reclusive wealthy family, so they had to agree to cooperate. At present, Ma Xiaoquan, the representative of the Ma family, has reached a verbal agreement with the Hua family to form an alliance, and the two families have joined forces to do business.
, will naturally have more advantages, but...favors are favors, and business is business. If we really want to start cooperation, the two parties still have to sit down face to face and discuss the details of the cooperation in detail.
Another five days have passed...
On the sixth day, Hua Yue came and was in good spirits. It seemed that she was recovering well. Also coming with her were the old man of the Hua family and Hua Yue's fourth brother, the current head of the Hua family.
Hua Si learned about Ma Xiaoquan's true identity through Mr. Hua's mouth. Although he was surprised, after all, he was the person in charge and was well-informed, so he did not reveal it.
It was a pleasant meeting with Ma Xiaoquan, and the conversation between the two was also very pleasant.
During the conversation, Hua Si suggested that Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Yue get married as soon as possible. Ma Xiaoquan declined with a smile and told Hua Si that he would have to get the consent of Li Qinghan and Madam Ma in Beijing before marrying again.
Hua Si did not force it, and he also knew who Ma Xiaoquan was.
The next day, Hua Si and Ma Xiaoquan discussed the details of the cooperation. After some bargaining, the share ratio between the two families became 6.5 to 3.5. Even so, the Hua family could be considered a big advantage.
Although Mr. Hua no longer manages the family, he is very concerned about the future of the family. At first, he was worried that his fourth son would not be able to compete with Ma Xiaoquan. Now it seems that this son still has certain skills and abilities to become the head of the family.
.
Hua Si and Ma Xiaoquan agreed that one month later, the two of them would travel across the country to do big business. Although Xiaoquan missed Beijing in his heart, Hua Si's kindness was hard to resist, so he had no choice but to agree.
During this period, Ma Xiaoquan wrote a letter to Li Qinghan who was far away in Beijing, telling him to return later and what happened between him and Hua Yue.
Li Qinghan seemed to be very busy and did not reply to Ma Xiaoquan's letter. In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to shelve the matter in the letter.
Hua Yue doesn't seem to be in a hurry to marry Ma Xiaoquan. After all, she and Li Qinghan were competitors before, and now they are still for the same man. Hua Yue knows very well that if she really wants to marry Ma Xiaoquan, she must go through Li Qinghan.
yi pass.
Time passed quickly, and one month passed in the blink of an eye. Ma Xiaoquan led Hua Yue and Hua Si to gather together and start running business across the country.
Transportation in ancient times was naturally not as convenient as in modern society. It would take Ma Xiaoquan and his party at least five or six days to start from one place and reach another destination.
With the Ma family's control of the copper mines and the Hua family's control of the salt transportation, as well as the Ma family and Hua family's background, Ma Xiaoquan and Hua Si's business expansion plan was easily implemented. In the blink of an eye, another year later, the two families were basically in the Ming Dynasty.
Commerce was established in all the major local towns in the country. From then on, the prototype of a commercial empire was initially formed. Next, we will look at these operations.
In the past year, Hua Yue's illness has improved a lot, but because the nanorobots she swallowed before were not mature enough, she tired easily.
Ma Xiaoquan decided that when they returned to Beijing, he would find an opportunity to return to modern times and get Hua Yue a more mature nanorobot to treat her illness.
The business operation lasted until the end of the lunar calendar in November, the winter of this year. By some calculation, it had been more than two years or almost three years since Ma Xiaoquan left Beijing. Looking at the prototype of his completed business empire, Ma Xiaoquan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
, and his plan to return to Beijing was finally put on the agenda.
...
Beijing City, Majia.
Li Qinghan stood in front of Ma Xiaoquan's bedroom door and kept sighing. Since Ma Xiaoquan left, she has been watching over the Ma family alone, safeguarding the interests of the Ma family as the "Goddess of Fire".
Huoling Xiaoshuang surrounded Li Qinghan. At this time, a little boy jumped up to Li Qinghan, hugged her leg, and uttered some vague words.
"Mom...Mother..." The little boy raised his head, looked at Li Qinghan, stretched out his little hand, and asked her to hug him.
Li Qinghan hugged the little boy lovingly and sighed again.
Although the little boy was very young, he seemed to be very smart. Seeing Li Qinghan sigh, he asked immaturely: "Mom misses daddy..."
Li Qinghan kissed the little boy's cheek, nodded heavily, and said to himself: "I have thought about it, but your father is still very busy, and I don't know when he will be back..."
Mrs. Ma suddenly came over and sighed: "Quan'er has been out for more than two years. Qinghan, these days have been really hard on you."
Li Qinghan shook his head: "Grandma, don't say that, I am also a member of the Ma family, these are what I should do."
Mrs. Ma stretched out her hand to tease the little boy in Li Qinghan's arms and said, "Does Quan'er know that you gave birth to a son for him?"
Li Qinghan shook his head: "I never told him. When he wrote to me, I didn't even reply. I was afraid that he would be distracted."
"Hey, you, I really don't know what to say about you. Here you go, this is a letter from Quan'er. He should be back before the Chinese New Year."
Li Qinghan was stunned and excitedly took the letter from Mrs. Ma's hand, opened it and read it, and couldn't help crying with joy.
Mrs. Ma lovingly helped Li Qinghan wipe away his tears and advised: "Okay, Quan'er is finally coming back, you can feel at ease, um, but..." Mrs. Ma finished her words.
, seems to have some scruples.
Li Qinghan wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Grandma, do you want to talk about Ma Xiaoquan Dongfang and the two girls from Beiming's family? Well, I actually know that. In fact, I have figured it out. He is an excellent man.
Naturally, there is no shortage of women, and besides, the women around Ma Xiaoquan are all ladies."
Mrs. Ma said: "Qinghan, I'm not talking about this, but that...that..."
Li Qinghan shook his head and said: "Grandma, do you want to say that Hua Yue is right? In the past, she and I had a very unpleasant quarrel over Brother Ma Zhi, but now it's over. Hua Yue is actually better than me. Ma Xiaoquan married him, too.
It just so happens that I can help him well in his career."
Mrs. Ma sighed: "You can say this, grandma, I have nothing to say, but Qinghan, don't worry, if Quan'er insists on sending someone higher, you will always be his head wife."
Li Qinghan nodded and hummed heavily.
.......
A few days later, Ma Xiaoquan led a group of people to Beijing.
After not coming back for more than two years, Ma Xiaoquan immediately felt like he was home as soon as he entered Beijing.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the streets are full of vendors selling New Year’s goods.
