However, those investors left, but Zhang Zhongliang did not leave, because he actually saw a bank in Tumubao, and it was Shengfa Bank.
He did what Yang Xuan asked him to do, but what he asked Yang Xuan to do was deceived by him.
In Yang Xuan's office, Zhang Zhongliang went straight to the topic after chatting for a few words.
"Master Yang, I wanted to open a bank in this market before, but you said the court wouldn't allow it, but now..."
Yang Xuan understood immediately after hearing this: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I won't hide it from you, Mr. Zhang. Shengfa has shares from above."
"above?"
Zhang Zhongliang couldn't figure it out for a while. Which one was Yang Xuan talking about?
Prince?
Prince?
Or the emperor?
Yang Xuan had already thought of an excuse. His Majesty the Emperor's shareholding must not be spread out. The prince's weight is a little bit insufficient, so...
"It's Prince Hui." Yang Xuan lowered his voice intentionally: "I'm just an errand boy."
"hiss……"
Zhang Zhongliang fell into deep thought.
This Shengfa actually has Prince Hui’s shares?
Who is Prince Hui? He is the communicator of the Zongren Mansion and is equivalent to the patriarch of the entire royal family.
Even His Majesty the Emperor must respect his opinions when it comes to royal household matters.
"Otherwise, do you think I can get such a lucrative job?"
Yang Xuan added: "Don't look at me as a high-ranking official. In fact, I do business for the royal family. You said that I, the Minister of Household Affairs, look quite good, but I have nothing to do with such important affairs of the court.
"
Hearing what Yang Xuan said, Zhang Zhongliang also felt a sense of sympathy.
Isn't it the same when he works for Prince Ning?
Although his family is also a wealthy family, in fact, it is completely dependent on Prince Ning for its existence. If Prince Ning says a word, their family will disappear into thin air.
However, Yang Xuan was working for Prince Hui. After all, he could still work as an official. He was a third-grade official, which was enough to honor his ancestors.
"Master Yang, this is too modest. It is only because of your ability, Master Yang, that you can be appreciated by Prince Hui."
Yang Xuan had been observing his words, and he could see that Zhang Zhongliang had already believed 80% of his belief, so he simply poured out his bitter words: "What's the use of ability? Look at me, my business is not small, and my official position is not low, but,
There is only a small house with three bedrooms in Yingtian Mansion, he is not young anymore, and he has not married yet."
Zhang Zhongliang couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, with a hint of sympathy. He worked for Prince Ning. Although he had no official status, he still made a lot of money. Not to mention the third-level house, there were several fifth-level houses.
There were three wives and four concubines at home, as well as many servants.
"Didn't I hear that you wanted to choose a consort before? Why didn't you believe it later?"
Yang Xuan slapped his thigh: "Isn't that right? At that time, I had to go through a lot of hard work to stand out from so many young talents. In the end, I didn't know how I offended the emperor. He gave me a lecture and kicked me out of the palace. The emperor's consort.
The matter is over."
Listening to Yang Xuan's grievances, Zhang Zhongliang quickly comforted him: "There is no need for a real man to have a wife. You are still young, so there is no need to worry about this matter."
Seeing that the time was right, Yang Xuan continued: "Mr. Zhang, let me tell you everything. While I still have some rights in this trade market, you, hurry up and do some business here. I'm here to guarantee you."
When it comes to making money, I don’t dare to talk about it at a distance. Within these three or two years, I have the final say.”
Yang Xuan's words immediately made Zhang Zhongliang's eyes light up.
These words revealed a lot of information.
First of all, Ming Li meant that if Zhang Zhongliang invested, he could make money.
Secondly, within three or two years, Yang Xuan has the final say. In other words, it will not be certain after two or three years.
This shows that the imperial court has a long-term plan for this place.
Taking advantage of the immature trade market, large-scale infiltration and intervention will definitely get a share of the pie. If this matter is reported to King Ning, King Ning will definitely be interested.
Although this is not yet a win over Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan is willing to make suggestions for Prince Ning, which can be regarded as having half a foot in Prince Ning's circle.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongliang felt excited.
However, Yang Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, we are quite similar. We are both pawns who work for others. When you are needed, you are a confidant and confidant, but Mr. Zhang, you
Have you ever thought about what will happen once we lose our use value?”
Lost its use value? Zhang Zhongliang was stunned for a moment, and countless associations flashed through his mind.
Seeing Zhang Zhongliang acting like he was on the verge of death, Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. He always wanted to win over me and see if I could instigate you first.
"People like us are like tools, maybe horses to pull carts, maybe clothes to keep out the cold. Once damaged, we will discard them like worn-out shoes. This is human nature."
Zhang Zhongliang was shaken. Although it was because of Prince Ning's promotion that his family could achieve its current glory, at this time, he was inevitably shaken.
Yang Xuan is right. What is the use of keeping something that has been damaged? Throwing it away is the most reasonable choice.
What's more, this matter also has lessons learned from the past.
Wasn't it true that the former Chairman of the Yingtianfu branch, Sun Teng, was completely abandoned by Prince Ning after he was defeated in a fight?
If one day comes to him, Prince Ning will abandon him without hesitation.
And since I was so deeply involved with Prince Ning and knew so many secrets about Prince Ning, if I were abandoned, I might not even be able to save my life.
Yang Xuan didn't wait for him to think too much and directly gave the solution: "Mr. Zhang, you can find an excuse to come to this trade market to invest. With my care, I can guarantee you a steady profit without losing money. If Mr. Zhang can be honored
It's best to be favored forever, but if..., this is also a retreat."
Zhang Zhongliang was already a little distracted at this time. He felt that his mind was in chaos. While he was thinking about being loyal to Prince Ning, he was also thinking about leaving a way out for himself. After thinking for a long time, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Zhongliang has learned a lesson today."
, please allow me to think about it carefully and say goodbye."
Yang Xuan could clearly see that Zhang Zhongliang was upset, so he stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Zhongliang without trying to stop him.
What he did today was a flash of inspiration. Even if he could not instigate Zhang Zhongliang to rebel, at least it planted a thorn in his heart.
Zhang Zhongliang is a smart man. Regardless of whether the rebellion is successful or not, this guy is 90% going to invest here.
Don't underestimate these aristocratic families. Their joining will bring not only the taxes brought by trade, but also the influence they will bring.
This is like the investment promotion in later generations. The settlement of large companies will bring not only tax revenue but also a large number of employment opportunities to the local area. With employment, it will attract people. The more people there are, the more developed the business will be, and the easier it will be to attract investment, becoming
In a virtuous cycle, this place will become prosperous before long.
When the time comes, if we recruit more people from the grasslands to do the work, we will gradually be able to extend to the grasslands, and we will become one among you and one among us. If the grassland people want to start a war, it may not be that easy.
