By the way, what has Xu Yuan been doing during this time?
The story of the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty is so exciting, how come he has disappeared from the world and has so little exposure?
That's right.
In recent times, Xu Yuanren has indeed not been in the world of the late Ming Dynasty and disappeared for a long time.
Even for many large and small affairs in Xujiazhuang, a rotating ruling group of five people was set up. They had equal status. When Xu Yuan spent most of his time here in the late Ming Dynasty, these five people would each serve as rotating CEOs for three months.
; When Xu Yuan was away from Ming Dynasty most of the time, each of these five people took turns serving as the rotating chief executive officer for one month, responsible for handling all matters, large and small, except military affairs.
Such a rotation system not only ensures the internal stability of Xujiazhuang, but also achieves a balance between centralization and decentralization.
As for military power, Xu Yuan will never let go of this thing, nor will he allow anyone to get his hands on it. He will leave for half a year, a year, or ten years. Without his order, no one can mobilize a soldier or a gun.
Take firm control in your own hands.
…
modern society.
January 2027, Taizhou.
Xu Yuan has been in the modern society for a month. He only occasionally spares half a day or a day to send some supplies to the world of the late Ming Dynasty and bring some things back.
Then I just spend time with my wife, take care of the kids, drive here and there, and work on business matters.
My busy feet never touch the ground every day.
The focus of work and life seems to be completely placed on modern society.
Speaking of which, his work and life pattern has suddenly been turned upside down. Doesn’t he want to spend more than 90% of his time and energy on the late Ming Dynasty?
He was right to say so, but now he finds that it is not realistic at all, and he has to increase his investment and attention in modern society. From now on, the last two months of each year (i.e., November and December of the lunar calendar) must be
in modern society.
What is he going to do with these two months?
make money.
In modern society, be at ease, make money seriously, and focus your main energy on this matter!
But why didn't his previous method work? If he just set aside a few days a month to deal with it, wouldn't he be able to make money?
Sorry, I really can't make any money.
Because doing business is not a simple matter, it is a process that requires repeated communication, communication and tug-of-war, and it cannot be decided in three to five minutes.
As a supplier of 'specialties' in the late Ming Dynasty, Xu Yuan had supplies of dried seafood, huanghuali wood furniture, wild medicinal materials, ginseng and other goods, and they were all high-quality goods. They were unparalleled among similar products. Anyone who knows the goods
Everyone will be tempted to buy.
But for those dealers who were interested in cooperating, they thought about it for two days and decided to cooperate with Xu Yuan, but they couldn't get through on the phone.
Others have been going back and forth over the price for several days and have just made a decision to agree to Xu Yuan's quotation. They cannot be contacted by phone.
Others wanted to enhance the relationship between the two parties and invited Xu Yuan to have a meal and relax in order to have better cooperation.
There are also some people who attach great importance to cooperation with Xu Yuan and do not have any requirements. They only hope that Xu Yuan can provide stable supplies and attach great importance to the stability of supply channels.
But I’m sorry, Xu Yuan can’t meet any of the above requirements from partners.
He cannot guarantee stable supply for the time being, has no fixed contact hours, and refuses all business relationships.
The consequence is that although he has many high-quality products in his hands, he only has a few business partners (these are the ones who are most tolerant of Xu Yuan). In the past 2026, he only brought Xu Yuan a total of
Revenue of 210 million yuan came.
In addition to the 1.67 billion earned from pouring refined copper materials (the supply of copper materials is stable).
And let Tianfeng Jewelry help digest the 25 tons of gold, bringing in revenue of 7.5 billion.
Last year, Xu Yuan's total income was 9.38 billion yuan.
He failed to achieve his goal of earning 10 billion per year.
This led to a more serious financial crisis, which caused some industrial projects there to be slow in progress in the late Ming Dynasty and even had to be suspended for a period of time.
Therefore, earning 10 billion per year is really the minimum goal that must be achieved, even if it is less than a few hundred million.
Xu Yuan could only adjust his strategy and set aside two months every year to focus on making money in modern society.
So Xu Yuan has been in modern society for more than a month. Has he made a lot of money?
Well……
Only 550 tons of dried seafood and more than 300 tons of medicinal materials were sold.
There are 158 wild ginseng roots over fifty years old, but they have been collected by Song Jiayun and they plan to auction them off little by little. They cannot ship too many in a short time.
The total income was 195 million, which is barely 200 million.
Then these specialties were out of stock and all sold out - the production there has not yet increased in the late Ming Dynasty, and will only improve next year.
So... after working hard for a month, I only made 200 million, which is not very effective.
Don't worry!
Don't be in a hurry.
There is a big move.
Xu Yuan also has a big move that has been brewing for a long time, but is sure to make a lot of money, but has not yet been released.
…
Tianfeng Jewelry Gold and Silver Building.
This 30-year-old gold and silver building has been closed for renovation for more than a month and will only reopen for business tomorrow, January 21.
To be honest, Song Jiayun did not agree with the decision to close the business and renovate it for more than a month, because the end of the year is the best time for business, accounting for about 40 to 50% of the performance. During this time, the Gold and Silver Building was closed.
, wouldn’t it mean losing a large amount of profits in vain?
What's even more unacceptable to Song Jiayun is that Xu Yuan has to personally design the decoration style of the Jinyin Building, come up with his own design concept, and spend millions to hire professional designers to design the decoration style, as well as the subsequent business model.
Yuan also wanted to step in and said that he wanted to operate the business according to his way and could no longer sell according to the traditional model.
Song Jiayun rolled her eyes fiercely, and wanted to retaliate at that time: "What do you know about business? You are just a miner. How do you know how to sell gold and silver jewelry? Stop messing around. My son's monthly milk powder is not cheap. Don't do it."
He won't be able to become a rich second generation in the future.
But after some work by Xu Yuan, Song Jiayun unexpectedly agreed and agreed to let him give it a try.
There is no need to elaborate on this persuasion process. Anyway, it is three costs: a waste of kidneys, a waste of money, and a waste of sweet words. Most women cannot withstand these three axes, and Song Jiayun is no exception. After just giving the Gold and Silver Building to Xu Yuan,
She could give herself a long vacation to have a good rest and relax. Thinking of this, Song Jiayun felt that it was good to have a husband. Even if they spent less time together and were apart more often, it was still much better than a widowed marriage. After all, Xu Yuan was capable in some aspects.
She was quite satisfied, so as a reward, she let him mess around a bit.
Of course, all the losses caused during the closure of Jinyin Building for renovation were borne by Xu Yuan. She could not afford losses of at least several million.
…
January 20, evening.
Tianfeng Jewelry and Gold and Silver Building, the night before it reopened.
Xu Yuan, who had been in a relationship for a long time, took Song Jiayun to the renovated gold and silver building and said he wanted to give her a surprise.
"It's so dark inside, how can there be any surprises." Song Jiayun, who couldn't see clearly when walking into the hall, pouted.
"I'm going to turn on the light. It will be very dazzling later. Use your hands to shield your eyes." Xu Yuan said as he walked to the circuit switch box.
"I got it, stop being pretentious and turn on the light." Song Jiayun said disapprovingly, and did not obediently cover her eyes. Isn't it just the reflection of gold and silver jewelry? She has seen it a lot and has long been used to it.
Snap!
The lights are on.
Countless golden lights reflected and refracted from all directions, like flash bombs, occupying all sightlines.
Because the lumen was too high, Song Jiayun had to stretch out her hands to cover her eyes. It took her a while to get used to it, and she couldn't help but get a little angry. It was intentional. The man must have done it on purpose. He just wanted to see her embarrassed. Hmph, it was so disgusting.
.
But before she could express her dissatisfaction, her eyes lit up at the layout of the hall. The various gold and silver jewelry placed in the tempered glass cabinets, under the warm yellow light, made her scream repeatedly.
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
"These sets of phoenix crowns and harems, the gold, silver and jade used on them must weigh seven or eight kilograms, but they don't make people feel tacky at all, only happy."
"Phoenix crown, are these the phoenix crowns that only empresses and concubines were qualified to wear in ancient times? There are peacocks in full bloom, dragons and phoenixes playing with pearls, golden phoenixes coming to the nest, flowers in full bloom and other styles. They are exquisitely crafted and exquisite, with gems and pearls.
, the combination of feathers, gold and silver and other materials complement each other, without any sense of clutter. Husband, where did you get so many phoenix crowns? Are they intended to be gifts for me?"
"There are also dozens of antique-style gold hairpins, silver hairpins, jade hairpins, and even wooden hairpins. Regardless of the value of the materials, the workmanship is very conscientious, with fine textures, uniform lines, and nothing perfunctory. Each one is eye-catching.
Want to buy it."
"Hey, the tables, cabinets and chairs in the store seem to be huanghuali wood furniture that is over a hundred years old. It smells really good. Although the market for this type of furniture has dropped, it still costs hundreds of thousands or millions per piece.
This place is so luxurious that even the floor is paved with huanghuali wood.”
"I understand, I understand! Husband, the surprise you are talking about is to give me this renovated gold and silver building, right? Including these phoenix crowns, phoenix crowns, and various antique gold and silver jewelry.
You know I like these the most, so you specially prepared it to give me this surprise, right?"
"Thank you husband, I love you, I love you, I love you a hundred times."
Song Jiayun, who was full of joy in her heart, was like a young girl at this moment, hugging Xu Yuan and kissing her. She was also like a princess in a fairy tale world whose wish was fulfilled. She only thought that these were the prince Xu Yuan.
She carefully prepared these gifts and wanted to give them all to her.
Seeing the woman sinking into a bubble of happiness, Xu Yuan couldn't help but burst her immediately and let her return to the real world.
After she was happy for a while.
Xu Yuancai asked: "Do you think that these antique phoenix crowns, phoenix crowns, gold and silver jewelry, and huanghuali wood furniture in the store can be sold, rented, or allowed to be customized as a means of profit?
Can I make a lot of money?"
"Sell? How can such a good treasure be sold? No! These treasures are all mine. I want to collect them. I can't sell any of them!" Song Jiayun immediately said unhappily.
"Just tell me whether these antique-style jewelry will be liked and welcomed by consumers, and can they increase the popularity of Tianfeng Jewelry?" Xu Yuan asked in a different way.
"Yes, it must be possible. The workmanship and design of these jewelry pieces are unmatched by any brand. They will definitely be an instant hit!" Song Jiayun nodded heavily.
"That's good." Xu Yuan suddenly felt confident.
…
January 21, 8 a.m.
Tianfeng Jewelry Gold and Silver Building has reopened.
That is, starting from this day.
