Zhao Zhen got up earlier than usual today. Before the morning meeting, a minister came into the palace to prepare for an audience. According to this time, Zhao Zhen must have summoned him into the palace, and it was
He went directly to his dormitory.
After washing up, Zhao Zhen walked out of the room. The person he summoned into the palace today was none other than Tang Long.
Zhao Zhen, who still looked a little sleepy, found a chair to sit down and asked, "This morning, there was a lot of movement in the city."
Tang Long nodded and said: "Yes, Wei Chen thought it was tens of thousands of dollars, but he didn't expect that boss Pan Yuanwu was so generous that he directly gave Lu Yao two hundred thousand dollars."
Zhao Zhen was a little surprised when he heard it, and said: "I remember just a few secret recipes, how can it be worth this price?"
Tang Long said: "My subordinates did not inquire about the good news, but it is very likely that Pan Yuanwu changed his mind during the conversation between the two people. Otherwise, there should not be such a big price gap."
Zhao Zhen said: "No wonder that kid Lu Yao has to rush to send the money to him so early. If it were a weekday, he might actually encounter some robbers."
"The money went directly to a two-story building rented by Lu Yao. According to the investigation by my subordinates, it will soon become Lu Yao's new industry."
After hearing what Tang Long said, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "This guy has too much money in his hand, and it is of no use leaving it there without doing business. Go and ask around, what he will do next is
What kind of business is it and is there any way to make money?"
Tang Long said: "Yes. In fact, I have one more thing today that I want to report to Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhen asked him to continue.
"Master Xiao Lu, yesterday he called all the managers of his industries to the Lu Mansion. I don't know what they talked about, but it can be seen from the expressions of those people when they left the Lu Mansion that each of them was very happy.
.”
"Oh? That's interesting." Zhao Zhen said, "What about Lu Geng from the lottery station? Has he gone? He is directly related to my financial problems."
Tang Long shook his head and said: "Lu Geng did not go to the Lu Mansion, but Lu Yao's housekeeper Tang Xi did go to the Lu Mansion before the meeting started. I think because the lottery station is quite special, there are some things that need to be explained in particular.
.”
Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, then called a eunuch and said, "I have told Lu Geng to come to the palace after lunch today to see him. I want to see what Lu Yao is going to do."
When it comes to Zhao Zhen, it can be said that he trusts Lu Yao very much and uses him very highly. However, just as Lu Xu thought, Zhao Zhen is also wary of Lu Yao's recent strong rise, so he has been
Ask Tang Long to send someone to check on Lu Yao's situation every once in a while. After all, Lu Yao has now taken the imperial examination, and it is not impossible for him to be promoted to a higher level by then. And once he enters the officialdom
, Zhao Zhen has to start calculating the business under Lu Yao. Zhao Zhen has naturally considered the possible risks that Lu Xu mentioned. As the emperor now, on the one hand, he wants to restrict Lu Yao and does not want to let him go.
He has grown too big, but on the other hand, Zhao Zhen also wants to reuse Lu Yao, so he will continue to collect information about Lu Yao.
After listening to Tang Long's report just now, Zhao Zhen felt that Lu Yao suddenly called all the managers of the industry to the Lu Mansion to talk. Maybe something big had happened. But this time, the Royal Lottery Station was excluded from the conversation.
, this made Zhao Zhen have some doubts, so he ordered someone to call Lu Geng directly to the palace this afternoon to ask clearly.
On the other hand, Zhe Kexing also got up relatively early today. He had other tasks today, which was to take the members of the Grassroots Team and Fanlou Team to the Bird's Nest Stadium for inspection. However, Zhe Kexing did not choose to gather together.
When going to the Bird's Nest Stadium, let everyone go there separately. Just go to the Bird's Nest Stadium before the agreed time, which can save a lot of time.
When Zhe Kexing arrived at the Bird's Nest Stadium, he realized that he was the last one to arrive. Yang Tao, Cao You, Han Wenyuan, Gu Liang, Zhang Maocai and Wang Da were already there waiting for him, and each of them brought two
A team member of his own team came to inspect together. This was something that was agreed upon before. There were three people in each team,
When Zhe Kexing saw them, he first told them that the team would have half a day of training before the game, and then he would take them in. The reason why these people could not go in before was because Lu Yao had given an order, except for Zhe Kexing.
No one else can be allowed in except those who are allowed in.
Zhe Kexing led more than ten people into the Bird's Nest Stadium. After seeing the design of the Bird's Nest Stadium with their own eyes, these people once again admired Lu Yao.
No one expected that Lu Yao, who is usually cynical, would build such a large-scale stadium with complete facilities. For the members of the six teams, the more important thing for them is to adapt to the venue of this new stadium.
How is it different from the training ground in the palace? Zhang Maocai is more interested in other areas in the stadium. He wants to see if there is any chance to cooperate with Lu Yao in the inn in the future.
At this time, Cao You took the initiative to walk to Han Wenyuan, apparently wanting to have a conversation.
Although the relationship between Han Yonghe and Cao Yi is on the same level, in the final analysis, it also has something to do with the characters of these two old guys. Neither of them admits defeat, and they both want to win against the other, not only in government affairs, but also in Cuju.
The same is true for the game. However, the two of them basically didn't care much about the Cuju team. Both the Wenyuan team and the Lions team were finally handed over to their own sons to manage, two old men.
It's just lip service and daily bickering based on actual game results.
In the final analysis, most of the conflicts between Han Wenyuan and Cao You are due to the grudges between the two families. When Cao You was demoted from Bianliang, the relationship between the Han family and the Cao family was far from mature.
Today's situation was so tense that Han Wenyuan even spoke for Cao Yu at that time.
Therefore, the conflict between the leader and the leader must be maintained when everyone is present. But now, after all, Han Yonghe and Cao Guojiu are attending the morning court, so Han Wenyuan and Cao You don't have to cause trouble between the two of them.
Just like enemies.
Not that far away from Korea
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I thought that Cao You would come and talk to me, but since his father is not here, it is not a bad thing to talk to him. After all, in Han Wenyuan's heart, Cao You's ability is indeed better than his own, so he used the warm-up from the last Cuju competition.
For the game, if it weren’t for Xuchang’s outstanding performance, and because it was the first actual game, maybe his Wenyuan team really wouldn’t be a match for the Lions. As for Cao You’s tactical arrangements, Han Wenyuan’s heart
I also admire it very much.
"I heard that you went to the Lu Mansion yesterday to look for Lu Yao, but you haven't seen him yet?" Unexpectedly, Cao Yu's first sentence was actually this.
Han Wenyuan didn't know how he knew his whereabouts, but since others knew it, there was no point in denying it, so he said: "Yes, but I didn't see him, I just saw Tangxi. It's not a big deal in the first place."
Cao You said: "Well, did you know that yesterday afternoon, all the heads of industries under Lu Yao went to the Lu Mansion to gather for a meeting."
Han Wenyuan didn't know about this, but he also guessed that he didn't see Lu Yao when he went to the Lu Mansion yesterday, so he should be busy with other things.
"What does this mean?" Han Wenyuan asked subconsciously.
"Before the court this morning, my father had a chat with Mr. Tang Long. Mr. Tang Long felt that Lu Yao must have made a big move when he held a meeting with all the responsible persons yesterday. Do you think it has something to do with his participation in the imperial examination?"
Han Wenyuan thought for a while and said: "There is definitely a connection. Since he wants to become an official in the court, he wants to take good care of his own properties."
"If it were you, what would you do?" Cao You asked again.
Han Wenyuan immediately said: "Of course you can only choose between an official and a businessman. Since you have decided to become an official in the court, you should give up on the business. I think he met with those people yesterday to discuss this matter.
"
"Well, it's just that I don't think he will give up these industries so easily," Cao You said. "After all, I have been working on it since the early days. How could he give up so easily? I just don't know what approach he will take?"
Both of them were silent because they couldn't figure out what choice Lu Yao would make between officials and businessmen. However, Cao You knew in his heart that for the current Lu Yao, the greater the strength he showed, whether it was business strength or political strength.
The more powerful he is, the more he will become a thorn in the eyes of others. Tang Long specifically mentioned this matter to Cao Yi during the court meeting this morning. I wonder if it represents the emperor's intention and is a warning to them.
Sure enough, even for Lu Yao, respect and suspicion complement each other. This has always been the case in the imperial family.
Different from the excitement of every team at the Bird's Nest Stadium inspecting the venue, the Qianzhuang seemed very deserted at this time.
Early this morning, Lu Yao took Tang Xi and his people, and later combined with Chen Chen and the members of the grassroots team, from Pan's house to the bank, and successfully managed to deposit 200,000 yuan into the bank. In this way
, plus the money Lu Yao has earned since time travel, it should not be a problem to maintain the bank operation for a few months. This two hundred thousand yuan has indeed solved a large part of Lu Yao's bank in the early stage.
Question, therefore, it is still acceptable to give Pan Yuanwu a 10% monthly share.
After all the money was collected, the members of the grassroots team, including people from the Pan family and Tangxi's men, had already left. Lu Yao gave them enough money to have a feast at Jiuzhongxian.
Now, the only ones left in the bank are the three people who were left behind by Zhang Mou to guard the bank. Although these three people could not go to the dinner together, Lu Yao also told Tangxi to give five guan to each of them.
Money, as today's wages, is already sky-high for them.
Apart from them, the only ones left in the bank now are Lu Yao and Chen Chen.
Chen Chen had already made a judgment in his mind. When Lu Yao found him today, he must have something important to discuss.
When Tangxi came to see him yesterday, Chen Chen felt a little strange. Logically speaking, Lu Yao shouldn't have the trouble of asking him and his team members to escort money. Lu Yao should know him very well.
I am currently preparing for the grassroots team game. After all, their first opponent is the Huangtian team. It can be said that Chen Chen has been focusing on the Cuju team recently. In addition, when he went to the Bird's Nest Stadium before, Chen Chen also thought
We have come up with some new tactics, and we are planning to discuss them with everyone in the next few days, so that we can practice them carefully during training. Moreover, when inspecting the Bird's Nest Stadium, Lu Yao did not indicate that he had anything to discuss with him.
From this, it can be seen that Lu Yao must have had some ideas later, so he temporarily found Tangxi and asked him to call Chen Chen over. It happened that he had to escort money today, so he borrowed a member of the grassroots team.
Chen Chen knew Lu Yao's personality. If it was just a trivial matter, it would be absolutely impossible for him to find him at this time. Lu Yao was not the kind of person who delayed other people's work to do things for himself.
Therefore, after learning about Lu Yao's situation, Chen Chen did not dare to neglect and got up very early today.
Back to the present, Lu Yao took Chen Chen and left the bank. The two were walking on the streets of Bianliang. Lu Yao said: "I called you here today for two things. The first is to tell you that you will serve as the housekeeper.
Things that should be done.”
As soon as Lu Yao said this, Chen Chen was a little confused. Didn't the young master say this before? Could it be that he made a mistake in the arrangements for his brothers? But he had already said it before.
How can I take it back now?
Chen Chen looked frustrated, because he was thinking at this moment that what Lu Yao wanted to talk to him must be about changes in work. Seeing Chen Chen's appearance, Lu Yao guessed about it and said quickly: "You don't have to
Think too much, it's not your people's business, their consolidation strategy has not changed, this bank will open soon, and as soon as your grassroots team's game is over, you will come here to do things, don't worry."
Chen Chen is such a person. When something happens, he is not the first thing he thinks of. When he heard Lu Yao said it was not related to his team members, Chen Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that what Lu Yao talked to him about today would be his own matters.
Now that the team members are all settled, Chen Chen feels that it doesn't matter to him.
"It's about your job as a housekeeper. There may be some changes in the work content.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"
Lu Yao then told Chen Chen that he had convened a meeting with all the responsible persons yesterday to finally sign the contract. If this matter was not settled, then Chen Chen's work content could not be fully determined. Now Lu Yao has successfully transformed into a shareholder
identity, so the work content of Chen Chen, the housekeeper, will naturally change. That is, apart from reconciliation, Chen Chen will no longer have the authority to supervise. Although he can randomly check the books regularly, he still has business models for the management of all industries, including
In terms of their employment, Chen Chen had no authority to interfere.
Although Chen Chen was not very clear about what Lu Yao said before about official business and identity changes, Chen Chen was very clear about the adjustments Lu Yao had made on his side. Originally, he was not particularly good at management.
Yes, and having to deal with so many industries at the same time, he must know a lot about the professional aspects. Now the adjustment made by Lu Yao can be said to have completely liberated Chen Chen. He only needs to understand the accounts.
However, Lu Yao still warned Chen Chen not to let down his guard. In the past, these guys worked for him and did not dare to make mistakes. But then they became their own bosses and started their own business. This distance, including identity, will change when dealing with each other.
With the change, each person's personality, temperament, and attitude towards doing business will show a different look. This alone will take Chen Chen some time to adapt to.
After Chen Chen heard Lu Yao explain about the housekeeper, he immediately said that although he might not be able to do it well at the moment, he would try his best to ensure monthly income. It was Chen Chen's words that Lu Yao was waiting for.
He knew that Chen Chen was the most reassuring person when it came to doing things. Of course, due to the change in the model, there would definitely be other places where Chen Chen could be used in the future, and Chen Chen would naturally be able to do this.
After saying this, Lu Yao suddenly stopped, looked around, and said, "I've finished talking about this matter. I have a second matter to discuss with you today."
"But it depends on the master's orders."
"On weekdays, at home, does your father or mother cook?"
Chen Chen was stunned. He obviously did not expect that Lu Yao would suddenly ask such a question. He and Lu Yao looked at each other for two seconds. After confirming that Lu Yao was asking this question, Chen Chen said: "In most cases, it is the father who does it."
Rice, but my mother’s cooking is not bad.”
"Oh," Lu Yao said thoughtfully: "Your family has moved to the inner city now. I wonder if your parents still have contact with the people in the outer city?"
These questions from Lu Yao made Chen Chen feel more and more confused, but he still answered: "Although my father now lives in the inner city, he still has some connections in the outer city."
"That's good." Lu Yao was very happy when he heard this.
"Why do you always mention my father?" Chen Chen thought for a while and finally asked this question.
"You will naturally know this when I get to your house. Lead the way. The second thing today is to go to your house." After Lu Yao said this, he took a few steps back and let Chen Chen lead the way.
, took him to his house.
Chen Chen thought to himself, his father has never met Lu Yao, why did Lu Yao take the initiative to see his father today? What is going on? Although he is confused, Chen Chen still believes in Lu Yao's character, so
He led the way, leading Lu Yao towards his home.
According to his previous analysis, Chen Chen felt that when Lu Yao went to his home today, it was definitely not just for a visit and to talk to his father. But then again, what can his father do for the young master at his old age?
However, Chen Chen then thought about it and realized that he was about to become Lu Yao's housekeeper. It would be okay for Lu Yao to take the opportunity to visit Chen Chen's family. Tangxi had told Chen Chen before that when he and his subordinates went to work for Lu Yao, Lu Yao was
He has visited the homes of brothers who have families. It is very likely that Lu Yao just went to visit his parents today to say hello and to see if he is a reliable and capable person.
However, Chen Chen was a little surprised by what Lu Yao asked just now. If it was just a simple home visit, why would he ask who was cooking at home?
It's really puzzling.
At this time, everyone led by Zhe Kexing has completed the inspection of the Bird's Nest Stadium. Everyone has their own plans in mind. Cao You and Han Wenyuan are also targeting this new venue and what may happen during the official game.
A lot of assumptions have been made about the situation.
Afterwards, Zhe Kexing took everyone out and dispersed. Zhe Kexing thought that he would have nothing to do next, so he planned to go back to his residence to rest. Cao You and Han Wenyuan also went directly back to their houses to design the manuscript.
.
As soon as the two of them returned home, they both heard the news from their fathers. That is, Lu Yao was about to give up all his properties and change his identity. After that, he would only take a share of the profits and no longer be a big boss.
This news about Zhao Zhen was told by Lu Xu to Zhao Zhen after he went to court, and Zhao Zhen also told the news through Tang Long to Han Yonghe, Cao Yi, and of course, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan.
Lu Xu wanted to avoid long nights and many dreams, so after going to court today, he specifically told Zhao Zhen what Lu Yao had done. The implication behind his words was that Lu Yao would concentrate on being an official in the future and would basically focus on business matters.
There will be no more involvement, but Lu Yao still has to do the catering.
Zhao Zhen, who has been impressed by Lu Yao's cooking skills, naturally has no objection to this. If he continues to work in the catering direction, he will be able to eat more delicious food, not to mention the business of this kind of restaurant, for the development of Bianliang.
In fact, I can't make much contribution.
Cao You and Han Wenyuan had different reactions after hearing the news. Han Wenyuan felt that Lu Yao's move was not worth the gain. With their connections in the Lu family, they would basically become the son-in-law of the Han family. Even if they were targeted, they would not be able to do anything.
Nothing big will happen.
However, Cao You believed that Lu Yao's move was very smart. He could be said to have avoided many risks in advance after joining the court as an official. At the same time, he was more determined because of Lu Yao's move.
The idea of standing on Lu Yao's side in the future.
At the same time, Lu Geng was also ready to go to the palace to discuss the lottery station with Zhao Zhen.
