When Zhang Zhongliang set off from Lin'an Mansion, he kept muttering in his heart that King Ning asked him to win over Yang Xuan at all costs.
He understands that wooing someone is nothing more than a matter of giving in to someone's liking.
But what is Yang Xuan’s hobby?
name?
Yang Xuan has always kept a low profile. If he hadn't said it himself, Zhang Zhongliang wouldn't have known that he was the man behind Shengfa Department Store.
right?
Yang Xuan is a bachelor of the cabinet, and now he has become a princeling. In the future, when the prince succeeds to the throne, will he want any rights?
Beauty?
Yang Xuan has never even been to the Qinhuai River, which is just around the corner.
money?
Although Yang Xuan is not as good as those aristocratic families, with his ability, making money is nothing to him. Besides, he has never seen how squandering Yang Xuan is. According to his living habits, it is estimated that he
The money he earns now is enough for him to live on for several lifetimes.
Zhang Zhongliang sometimes wonders how a young boy of seventeen or eighteen years old can have such a calm mind, which is completely unlike a young man's temperament.
If it were another person, he would have such achievements at his age. Not to mention being domineering, at least he would be arrogant.
Zhang Zhongliang does not believe that a person can have no desires, but some people have superficial desires while others hide them deeply.
And Yang Xuan is the kind of person who hides his desires deeply.
Therefore, if you want to fall in love with him, you can only make friends with him first, and then when the relationship is familiar and the time is right, you can win him in one fell swoop.
If you want to make friends, you have to have an explanation. If you force yourself to do it, it will arouse vigilance. Zhang Zhongliang plans to start a business partnership with him. This is the only excuse that is the most reasonable.
However, Zhang Zhongliang squatted in front of the office of Shengfa Company for five days before he met Yang Xuan.
"Mr. Zhang? Dear guest, please come in quickly."
Seeing the surprised look on Yang Xuan's face, Zhang Zhongliang couldn't help but cursed, this kid is really good at pretending.
When he came here on the first day, he didn't meet Yang Xuan, so he told the people in the office that he would come to visit again the next day. He didn't believe that Yang Xuan had only come to the office for the first time in five days.
But he couldn't express it yet, so he could only greet Yang Xuan and follow Yang Xuan into the office.
In fact, Yang Xuan was not willing to contact Zhang Zhongliang. Although he only had a few meals with Prince Ning, he could tell that Prince Ning was not a simple person. It was hard to say whether he had the intention to rebel, but he was definitely unwilling to do so.
The kind of person who is inferior to others.
This is a feudal dynasty. If you are too close to him, it would be bad if Prince Ning really rebels and involves himself.
So Yang Xuan just talked about some things related to the Lin'an branch of Shengfa Department Store. Zhang Zhongliang changed the topic several times, but Yang Xuan turned him back.
When he learned that the Shengfa Department Store in Lin'an was operating well and had begun to make a profit, Yang Xuan praised it a few times and was ready to find an excuse to leave.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I have other things to do, so I won't keep Mr. Zhang here. I'll invite Mr. Zhang to dinner another day to apologize."
Zhang Zhongliang could also see that Yang Xuan didn't like him very much, and he knew the reason: they were just on guard against him.
It seems that this matter cannot be rushed and can only be done slowly.
"What did Mr. Yang say? I came here rashly today and delayed Mr. Yang for half a day. It's me who should apologize. I will stay in Yingtian Mansion for a few more days to do some business inspections and treat Mr. Yang to dinner another day.
I’ll give you a meal so you can give me a reference.”
The word "business inspection" was used by Yang Xuan as an excuse for his last trip to Lin'an. Yang Xuan did not answer his words, but just handed over his hand and said: "Easy to say, easy to say, I must know everything I can say."
After saying goodbye, Yang Xuan murmured in his heart, what kind of trouble did Zhang Zhongliang want to do? He also wanted to conduct business inspections. Could it be that he wanted to do business in Yingtian Mansion?
Although there has been no investigation, Zhongliang and Prince Ning must have property in Yingtian Mansion.
As for Zhang Zhongliang, he had not yet decided what kind of business he would like to start, so he recruited Yang Xuan to join him.
If you want to get Yang Xuan to join the business, you must be attractive enough to him. Ordinary business may not be able to catch his eye, after all, he already has such a rich net worth.
After Zhang Zhongliang thought about it, I'm afraid there is only one business that might interest Yang Xuan.
That is the bank.
Banks, also known as banks, have always been controlled by Shanxi merchants. Most of the banknotes currently on the market are from the wealthy families in Guanzhong.
Prince Ning did open a bank in Lin'an, but after several years of operation, it was only available in Lin'an Prefecture and was still far from being available in the world.
As long as Yang Xuan is interested in this, he can take the opportunity to expand the bank to Yingtian Mansion. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
Although Yang Xuan didn't know what Zhang Zhongliang was up to, he didn't mean to neglect Zhang Zhongliang, but he was really busy.
Ever since he used Thor's Hammer to scare several princes last time, Yang Xuan knew how important force was.
Qin Laohan's gunpowder made Yang Xuan eager to make a musket.
The Dasheng Dynasty did have a fire gun, but it was a spray that fired iron sand. Regardless of its power or range, Yang Xuan looked down upon it.
Yang Xuan had never really been exposed to firearms before traveling through time, and he was not a military enthusiast. Although he knew the principle of bullet firing, he wanted to make one...
Judging from the current industrial level of Dasheng Dynasty, it is indeed a bit far behind.
Yang Xuan knew that it was simply impossible to train a qualified army based on the military knowledge he had learned from film and television programs.
At most, he can only instill some special operations concepts.
As for this world, there is also a martial arts master who said that although he has not seen much, according to what Dong Tianbao and Zhang Junbao said, if they were to fight at close range, one hundred and eighty ordinary people would not be able to spare them.
This is a bit beyond Yang Xuan's understanding.
But this also shows that even if he really trains a group of soldiers who are comparable to the special forces of later generations, they will still be wiped out when they encounter martial arts masters.
Coming from a later generation, he knows very well that no matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of bullets. As long as you have a small pistol, an ordinary person can easily kill a top fighting champion in the world in seconds.
The reason is that it has a long range and great power.
But knowing it, I know that it is probably impossible to achieve it in a short time.
To be precise, let alone a short period of time, Yang Xuan may not be able to produce qualified firearms in this life with the little theoretical knowledge he knows.
But thinking about the long range, Yang Xuan's eyes lit up.
If you can't make a gun, you can still make a crossbow.
The Dasheng Dynasty even had firecrackers, and naturally they also had crossbows, but most of them were bed crossbows, used to defend the city, and the crossbow arrows they fired were almost the same as javelins.
There are also crossbows for individual soldiers, and they have a longer range and more power than bows and arrows. However, they are not widely used because they are too slow to be cocked.
What Yang Xuan thought of was using high-strength steel to make crossbow arms.
