While Lu Yao was entertaining his friends, Yang Tao and Zhang Maocai, as well as Zhao Hu and Pan Yuanwu were also chatting.
Because Zhang Maocai had mentioned Yang Tao to him before, if Zhang Maocai hadn't pointed out that Lu Yao wanted him to help Lu Yao do things, Yang Tao might have left the table angrily when Lu Yao came back with noodles during the wine tasting.
. Therefore, Yang Tao was still somewhat grateful to Zhang Maocai. Although Yang Tao also knew that Zhang Maocai's reputation in the business world was not very good. Later, when he mentioned Zhang Maocai to Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu also said that Yang Taocai should leave.
Zhang Maocai is farther away. However, Yang Tao is always self-centered. He doesn't care what other people say about this person. As long as he has a good impression of this person and thinks he is a trustworthy person, that's fine.
Now, he never cares what other people think of him or his friends.
Therefore, for Zhang Maocai, who had helped him, Yang Tao naturally had a better attitude towards him than towards Pan Wen. Therefore, after the two were taken to a private room, they started chatting. For Zhang Maocai, in fact, he
The reason why I encouraged Yang Tao to work under Lu Yao before was partly selfish. First, I will basically not participate in the operation and management of the hot pot restaurant from now on, and will only collect a share every month, but even if I don’t
In terms of management, Zhang Maocai also hopes that the person chosen by Lu Yao to look after the hot pot restaurant is a mature, stable and reliable person. After all, the business of the hot pot restaurant is directly related to the amount of money he can get. In addition, it is best to find a
It will be easier to communicate and coordinate matters if you manage the hot pot restaurant with people you know and understand.
As for Yang Tao, although Zhang Maocai didn't know much about him before, after all, they are now one of the leaders of the new Cuju competition team. They can't be said to be familiar, but they are not strangers. Lu Yao asked Yang Tao to manage him.
It would be better to manage a hot pot restaurant than to find someone whom Zhang Maocai didn't know at all. In that case, Zhang Maocai would really be speechless. Moreover, after a brief chat with Yang Tao at Jiu Zhongxian that day, Zhang Maocai felt that
This Yang Tao is a malleable talent. As long as his unique temperament is placed in the right position by the right people, he will definitely make a difference. Thinking of this, Zhang Maocai couldn't help but admire Lu Yao's vision and employment standards again.
Since Lu Yao thought he was good and was someone Zhang Maocai had contact with, he followed the trend and asked Yang Tao to agree to come down and manage the hotpot restaurant.
At this time, the two of them were in the private room. Yang Tao actually didn't like to owe others favors, so he looked at the real-time machine. When Zhang Maocai and himself were the only ones left in the room, Yang Tao stood up and bowed to Zhang Maocai.
This was something that had never happened before. Even when Zhao Hu made Yang Tao the leader of the Tigers, Yang Tao had never given such a gift. Of course, Yang Tao also knew that although Zhang Maocai had been helpful to him,
In fact, this hot pot restaurant is still Lu Yao's business, and what he can repay to Lu Yao is to run the hot pot restaurant well.
Zhang Maocai was also very moved by Yang Tao's actions, and the two then chatted about the future of the hot pot restaurant. Now Yang Tao is like a blank piece of paper with nothing. Especially since he is not very good at communication, he is very concerned about marketing.
He didn't know anything about it, and he didn't know anything about holding events. Therefore, Zhang Maocai gave Yang Tao some guidance on marketing methods and price concessions in the catering industry such as hot pot restaurants. Who is Zhang Maocai? Whether it is an inn or a restaurant, he has
Yang Tao was also very engaged in listening to his unique insights.
Later, there was a scene where Lu Yao came in.
On the other side, Pan Yuanwu and Zhao Hu were also chatting in the private room. Today was a rare day for these two people to get together. You know, the last time the two of them were able to talk more,
It was the same time when Pan Yuanwu chose the opponent team of Fan Lou. In the end, Pan Yuanwu, on the advice of Pan Wen and Lu Yao, chose Zhao Hu, his partner for many years and who can be regarded as an old friend. You know, as a businessman, it is very difficult to
There are few pure friendships. Therefore, Zhao Hu and Pan Yuanwu both cherish the friendship between them. Of course, the reason why the two of them became friends has a lot to do with the business cooperation from the beginning to the present. However, since then,
After Lu Yao approached Zhao Hu to confirm the cooperative relationship, Zhao Hu immediately found someone to inform Pan Yuanwu about this. It can be seen from the action that Zhao Hu and Pan Yuanwu had a true friendship in addition to business.
.
Therefore, today is their first meeting since the last incident. Naturally, they have a lot to say. During this period, the two of them rarely met directly because of their respective business reasons. This meeting,
The two exchanged pleasantries first, and then had a detailed conversation about Fan Lou and Zhao Hu's next arrangements for the food supply, because Pan Yuanwu's vegetable garden has begun to plant potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and other rare ingredients.
Yao had given Pan Yuanwu the secret recipe before, so Pan Yuanwu's demand for some ingredients began to increase. Of course, as the seasons change, there are also some ingredients that need to be increased or decreased in quantity. Originally, Pan Yuanwu did not need these things
He dealt with Zhao Hu in person. In the past, things like this could be resolved by the stewards of both parties at a meeting. However, this time it involved new ingredients given to him by Lu Yao, so Pan Yuanwu also wanted to tell Zhao Hu personally. He even planned to
, in the future, he will leave the vegetable garden to Zhao Hu to take care of. He still wants to take good care of his restaurant. However, even if he is a good friend, Pan Yuanwu does not want to give the vegetable garden to Zhao Hu for free.
Therefore, the two chatted about these issues for a long time. After finishing the serious talk, the two also started chatting. Zhao Hu lamented that Pan Yuanwu was very courageous. He could directly give out 200,000 yuan to become a shareholder in the bank. And Pan Yuanwu
Here, I also feel that it is a very wise decision for Zhao Hu and Lu Yao to cooperate to provide the ingredients needed by the hot pot restaurant. These two business giants in Bianliang City no longer have any doubts about Lu Yao's business ability.
, all felt that Lu Yao was extremely talented in business. Of course, because of Lu Yao's instructions, Zhao Hu did not intend to tell Pan Yuanwu what ingredients were provided in the exclusive area of the hot pot restaurant and what needed to be done. And Pan Yuanwu also knew that this was a business secret.
, so after asking a few simple questions, I didn’t go any further.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The last thing we talked about was some family matters. Zhao Hu said that his brother Zhao Bin’s family had a daughter, Zhao Xiang, who was old enough to get married. Zhao Hu found Pan Yuanwu because he wanted to discuss a marriage with the Pan family. And Pan Yuanwu also
After a little thought, he said that when he found a suitable opportunity, he would arrange for Pan Wen to meet Zhao Xiang. From this, it can be seen that although Pan Yuanwu is a big businessman, he is still very civil when it comes to the marriage of his children.
.The master is at least better than Cao Yi and Han Yonghe who directly arranged their daughter's marriage. Pan Yuanwu still hopes that Pan Wen can find a woman he likes. On this basis, if he can marry with the Zhao family, Pan Yuanwu will be very happy.
Things you would like to see.
And just when the two were chatting in detail about Pan Wen and Zhao Xiang's marriage, Lu Yao came in.
After chatting with everyone in these rooms, there was still a quarter of an hour before the official opening of the bank. At this time, people on the street had already arrived at the door to watch. Lu Hao walked to the door and took a look. Among them were
I also went to entertain some of my friends. Different from modern times, when an emerging industry like this opened in ancient times, basically if the publicity work was not done well at the beginning, it would be difficult for people to watch before the opening, and it would not even be as good as the one that will be there soon.
The inn and restaurant opened. At this time, except for a small number of people who had received manuscripts and came to the bank, there were very few people who came here because of its reputation. It seemed that they had to wait until after the hotel opened.
However, officials from the imperial court came one after another at this time. The onlookers, including Zhang Maocai, Pan Yuanwu, Zhao Hu and others, all sighed that Lu Yao was really popular. They knew in their hearts that these
People definitely don’t come just for Lu Xu’s fame.
The two people who came first should not be officials, but they were two talented men in Bianliang City, namely the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe. Originally, Lu Yao planned to find a room for them to rest, but Su Shi and Su Zhe
But Zhe said that he would just wait outside and wait until the business opens before going to do some business first. For a wild and unruly guy like Su Shi, Lu Yao was not surprised at all that he wanted to do a loan business. To be successful in life,
Jinhuan, these words are also very suitable for Su Shi. Of course, this is also because Su Shi is very sure that he can obtain fame, so he dares to directly express that he wants to do business. Of course, after a few brief chats,
Lu Yao also casually asked about a serious matter, that is, about the official competition of the new Cuju competition and the two brothers' preparations. In response to Lu Yao's inquiry, the two brothers both expressed that they were very confident and had been training specifically these days.
He understood the speaking aspect. After hearing what the two said, Lu Yao felt even more at ease.
Although these two people do not have very good connections in the officialdom, their status among ordinary people and scholars is still very high. No, this is because Su Shi and Su Che publicly stated that they would do business soon, and the onlookers began to
It has become more numerous.
The next person to arrive at the scene was someone from Kaifeng Mansion, but it was not Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, but Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao said that he was here to cheer up Mr. Bao's order, and those two would have to resolve the case at the Mansion today.
, so there was no way to come, so he sent Zhan Zhao over to congratulate Lu Yao. Lu Yao had never thought that Bao Zheng would appear, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to think of a person with Bao Zheng's appearance here, but he could
Thinking of sending someone to congratulate him, Lu Yao already felt that it was a great honor. Of course, as usual, Lu Yao also asked Zhan Zhao about the refereeing situation. After all, the official game was about to start soon, and he didn't want to include Zhan Zhao.
Zheng Zhao forgot the rules of the game because of the case. Zhan Zhao was very confident about this. He said that Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and himself would spend half an hour every day to review the rules of the game.
Then, the first real court officials to arrive were Han Yonghe and his son, Han Wenyuan. The onlookers and other people present were not surprised at all by the arrival of these two people, and the reaction was natural.
It's not that strong. The reason is also very simple. Now in the entire Bianliang, there should be no one who doesn't know that Mr. Lu Yao of the Lu family will marry Han Yunyu of the Han family. As Lu Yao's father-in-law, Han Yonghe came to the scene to marry Lu Yao.
It is a normal thing for Yao Zheng to hold up the show, and no one will be surprised.
Others were basically indifferent to his presence, which still made Han Yonghe feel a little embarrassed and embarrassed. Fortunately, Lu Yao came out to greet Han Yonghe immediately, and shouted "Welcome to the minister"
grown ups!"
This can be regarded as helping Han Yonghe regain some face.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, after Han Yonghe arrived at the bank, he went into the room to chat with Lu Xu. Then some officials arrived, some of whom Lu Yao had an impression of, and some of whom did not. However,
Because I had just had the experience of going to court not long ago, I can still remember some of the officials who came to the scene. And when I opened the bank today, except for the three who were invited by me, the others
No one in the court had been invited himself. Needless to say, most of the officials who came to the bank now came because of the reputation of their father, Lu Xu.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yao finished thinking about it, an official came over and asked Lu Yao where Master Lu Xu was, so Lu Yao asked Tang Xi to take these people to find his father and Han Yonghe.
In fact, Lu Yao had thought before that there would be some officials who would come to the opening of the bank in honor of his father Lu Xu, but the number of people who came here was indeed much more than Lu Yao expected. Looking at these
People, Lu Yao thought in his mind, would the arrival of these people arouse Zhao Zhen's suspicion again.
"Master Xiao Lu is so young that so many people can attend the bank's opening event. You are really young and promising." A voice came from not far away. Lu Yao looked over and saw that it was Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi.
Obviously, Han Qi had a displeased look on his face, and he must have been pulled over by Fan Zhongyan. However, when Fan Zhongyan said these words, I wonder if he was congratulating Lu Yao, or was he referring to something else?
However, in terms of momentum, Lu Yao still couldn't lose to anyone, so he went up to Fan Zhongyan and said, "Master Fan is really flattering me when he says this. You must know that you, Master Fan, are famous in Beijing now."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Master, I think all the officials who went to the party tonight, except me, probably attended because of your reputation."
It has to be said that Lu Yao's reply was very insightful. He not only replied to Fan Zhongyan, but also left him with no way to refute.
Fan Zhongyan obviously didn't expect that Lu Yao had such a domineering side, so he smiled without saying anything and stood aside. However, Fan Zhongyan could also feel that since Lu Yao now had the confidence to answer his questions like this,
At this night's gathering, it seems that Lu Yao will definitely be able to come up with some ideas. If he can really give some advice on Song Xia's current situation, then he does have the arrogance to do so now.
Fan Zhongyan glanced at Han Qi. Obviously, Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan had the same idea. The most important thing for the two of them now is to organize the party tonight, and because of what Lu Yao said just now,
After speaking, Han Qi also wanted to wait until the party to ask Lu Yao.
Fan Zhongyan's arrival can be said to have attracted the attention of all the officials present. Many people came over one after another, which made Han Yonghe's face a little confused. However, Lu Xu walked up to Han Yonghe to advise him. Fan Zhongyan came up
When he first gained power, he was surrounded by such a group of people, but when he was finally demoted from Bianliang, the number of people who sent him gifts could be counted on one hand. Of course Han Yonghe knew what Lu Xu meant, so
That is, Fan Zhongyan is still so prosperous now, so his result is the same as last time, and it ended in a hasty way. Now, the war is about to break out, and the emperor is forced to re-activate Fan Zhongyan. Once the war subsides, what about forming cliques for personal gain?
, the style problem will once again become a hidden danger for Fan Zhongyan, and at that time, Fan Zhongyan will lose power again. Therefore, for the current Fan Zhongyan, he is actually very conflicted in his heart. He not only hopes that this war will end, but
I don't want the Song-Xia war to end too quickly. If I don't make a certain amount of credit, I will end up with the same fate as last time.
Fan Zhongyan obviously had a good memory, so when faced with the officials who came to see him, Fan Zhongyan was perfunctory and basically pushed them towards Lu Yao, repeatedly saying that today was the opening day of Lu Yao's bank and he only wanted to
Just came to join in the fun.
The next heavyweight to arrive was the most trusted person of Emperor Zhao Zhen, Tang Long. Strangely enough, those officials who were fawning over Fan Zhongyan a second ago all stayed away from Fan Zhongyan as soon as they saw Tang Long coming.
It is not difficult to understand. Everyone knows that Tang Long is the confidant of Emperor Zhao Zhen. If Tang Long sees that he is so fawning over Fan Zhongyan and goes back to tell Zhao Zhen, he may be executed by everyone, or at least become a
I cannot bear the charge of forming a clique for personal gain.
Therefore, these ministers all retreated to the side and stood still. It was obvious that Tang Long was the most distinguished one here. Everyone gave way. For those who didn't know, they thought that Emperor Zhao Zhen was here in person.
.
Fan Zhongyan looked at the people who had retreated to the side and just sneered. Fan Zhongyan had already thought of their reaction.
However, the calmest person in the audience should be Lu Yao. Today is the day when his business opens, and he is the protagonist. Who cares about Tang Long, so Lu Yao walked up and said to Tang Long: "
I really didn’t expect that Mr. Tang is here too.”
To be honest, Lu Yao was still a little unhappy about Tang Long finding someone to spy on him. Although he knew that this was Zhao Zhen's order, Lu Yao couldn't remain calm when he saw Tang Long.
Tang Long looked at Lu Yao and said, "I am here to congratulate Mr. Lu Yao on his successful opening today according to the emperor's order."
Then, Tang Long waved, and a group of people appeared behind him. They carried baskets of things into the bank. Then Tang Long said that this was the 20,000 yuan that Zhao Zhen gave to Lu Yao, and he should treat it as
It was stored in this bank in the emperor's personal name, and it was regarded as the first business of Lu Yao Bank.
Lu Yao seemed unfazed by this move. He asked his sister-in-law Xu to keep the money, and then asked his sister-in-law Xu to keep accounts and issued a note to Tang Long, asking him to hand it over to the emperor when the time came.
Tang Long looked at the other people present and said: "Master Lu is really popular. So many people came to congratulate him. Even Mr. Fan Zhongyan and Mr. Han Qi came."
Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi smiled at Tang Long without saying anything.
Lu Yao was very unhappy and said: "They came here to give me face. Today is the opening of a private industry, and it is not in court, let alone discussing some military and national affairs. I have not broken any laws. Or, Tang
Master Long, would you like to take advantage of today’s incident and ask me to help you?”
Tang Long looked at Lu Yao in surprise. He just said casually, why would Lu Yao lose such a temper? Moreover, today is indeed the opening day of his business. He didn't know what to say, so Tang Long coughed and said: "
I saw that the people present seemed a little reluctant to let go because I was there, so after the matter was done, I left first."
"Master Tang, go slowly, I won't see you off."
Lu Yao didn't speak in a good tone. He just opened his bank business today. No matter who you are, don't come here to show your authority.
After Tang Long left, the atmosphere in the crowd calmed down and the lively scene resumed.
Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi also praised Lu Yao's actions just now.
And then, the quiet scene that appeared when Tang Long arrived just now was brought back by the next person who came here not long after.
That is, Yan Shu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and Cao You, the son of the Cao family. The two of them came together, because Yan Shu was left by Zhao Zhen to talk alone for a while after the court this morning, so he left the palace relatively late.
Cao You was also with Yan Shu all the way, and now it was only five minutes before the bank opened. Yan Shu and Cao You actually came with the scholars and common people who had received Lu Yao's manuscript before.
However, such a famous person as Yan Shu was recognized before he even arrived at the bank. Everyone really didn’t expect that Lu Yao had such great ability to invite the then Prime Minister Yan Shu to patronize his upcoming business.
