Seeing that it was already late, Xiao Qi hurriedly said after Wen Tianxiang left: "Sir, it's time to leave for Tongle Building."
"Okay, let's go now."
Xiao Tian made an appointment with Lin Zhixiong in the name of Mr. Hu Yan, the owner of Shifeng Trading Company, to meet at Tongle Building tonight. As the host of the banquet, I naturally couldn't be late.
After I changed my mask at the business store, I walked towards Tongle Building, with Yuan Ji and Xiao Qi following closely behind me. Secretly, I don’t know how many members of the Longya Security Department were wandering around. Since I returned to Beijing from Kuaiji, Longya
The protection for me has been raised to an unprecedented level. Yuan Ji feels scared every time he thinks of the assassination of the man in black, so he is very careful about it.
Last time we went to Jinhua, there were no less than 20 or 30 experts from the Longya Security Department secretly protecting me, but I didn't know it.
Fang Ling did not wait for me at the trading house, but went directly to Tongle Building.
"Ling'er, you came earlier than me again."
"That's right, who is like you, busy all day long?"
"Haha, what did you do today?"
"I was shopping with sister Qiu'er today. I was tired from shopping in the afternoon, so I came directly here."
"Well, where is Xiao Tian?"
"They said there is another big businessman from Suzhou who is coming, and he has gone to pick him up."
I have met Lin Zhixiong, but Lin Zhixiong has never met me. As for the big businessman in Suzhou, he has never heard of it.
After a while, Xiao Tian brought Lin Zhixiong and a strange man in his forties to room No. 1 in Tianzi.
After Xiao Tian's introduction, Lin Zhixiong, whose face was glowing, clasped his fists and said: "Master Huyan, I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time. This time your bank's MSG has made me a big profit. From now on, no matter what products your Shifeng Trading Company has, let us make it."
Act as an agent."
"Boss Lin, you can discuss this matter with Xiao Tian. I am just a hands-off shopkeeper. As long as Xiao Tian thinks it is feasible, I will not object."
"Then it's settled." Lin Zhixiong smiled and said, "Mr. Huyan, let me introduce to you. This is my friend Boss Zheng, who is also my fellow Fujianese. He now lives in Suzhou and is the richest man in the area.
The industry is very broad and they are much better than me."
Boss Zheng is not tall, has an ordinary appearance, and wears ordinary clothes. No matter how you look at him, he cannot remind people of the richest man in Suzhou. Of course, Lin Zhixiong will not make such a joke casually. It can only be an ancient saying that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
"Master Huyan, I'm Zheng Huchen. I didn't expect that Master Huyan is so young. Before I came down, I was still guessing that the person who could produce MSG must be an old man with an immortal spirit. I'm disrespectful. I'm disrespectful."
After a while of greetings, the wine and food were eaten, and gradually the conversation started to become more frequent.
"Boss Zheng, your accent doesn't seem as strong as Boss Lin's Fujian accent."
"Master Huyan doesn't know something. Although I was born on Fujian Road, when I was ten years old, because my father was a scholar in Yuezhou (both Yuezhou and Kuaiji are today's Shaoxing), I followed him to live in Liangzhe Road.
So the accent has changed."
"Tongzhi of Yuezhou, is your father's name Zheng Xun?"
Zheng Huchen was a little surprised: "Yes, does Mr. Huyan know his late father?"
Yuezhou Tongzhi, a native of Fujian, Zheng Huchen, turned out to be him.
According to historical records, Zheng Huchen, also named Tinghan and Jingzhao, was born in Baizhu Nanshan, Changxi County, Fujian Road (now Yangtou Village, Xiping Nanshan, Fuan City) in the twelfth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1219), the first year of Deyou.
(1275) He was appointed county captain of Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). His father, Zheng Xun, was the magistrate of Yuezhou at the time of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty. He was framed by the treacherous minister Jia Sidao and exiled until his death. Zheng Huchen was implicated and was exiled to the border area. He was later pardoned.
Returned. After returning, he lived in Suzhou for a long time and became a wealthy man by doing business. During his stay in Suzhou, he compiled "Wu Du Wen Cui". In the first year of Deyou, Zheng Huchen killed the traitorous minister Jia Sidao on the way to escort him, and brought peace to the world.
The deeds of eradicating traitors were recorded in "Mindu Farewell". The next year, Jia Sidao's accomplice Chen Yizhong fled to Fuzhou, supported Zhao Shi, and hunted and killed Zheng Huchen. After Zheng Huchen was killed, he was buried next to the Guanyuan of Nanshan Village.
The villagers and their descendants built a temple in front of the village to commemorate him. Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, also erected a stone tablet in the stone pavilion in front of Kapok Nunnery, and personally wrote "Zheng Huchen of Song Dynasty killed Jia Shidao here". Wang Ziheng of Ming Dynasty also
Zheng Huchen wrote a poem about the execution of Jia: "It is unworthy of mentioning that he harmed the country in those days. He ran away and was exposed to the sun. Who said that Huchen became a vigorous festival, and Kapok will remain as a monument for eternity."
Zheng Huchen himself didn't have much to say about him. He was only known to future generations as Jia Sidao's gravedigger. However, no matter what purpose Zheng Huchen had, whether it was public or private, he could have such courage.
It is extremely valuable.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know him. I've only heard a few stories about your father-in-law."
Zheng Huchen said softly "Oh" and said nothing.
Lin Zhixiong knew the details of Zheng Huchen and knew that he was unwilling to mention the past, so he changed the topic and said: "Master Huyan, I heard from Xiao Tian that you want to expand your overseas business, but what are your plans?"
I nodded and said: "Exactly, when the output of our Shifeng Trading Company is large enough in the future, we plan to sell it to overseas markets. I wonder how much Boss Lin knows about overseas markets?"
Lin Zhixiong said proudly: "My Lin family fleet is well known on Fujian Road. We have been to Luzon Island in the south and Ryukyu in the north. However, those places are much behind our country and there does not seem to be much profit.
"
"Haha." I smiled, "The overseas markets I am referring to are not just these places, there are big overseas markets. I am very optimistic about this market, so I want to cooperate with you to jointly develop overseas markets."
Lin Zhixiong was secretly happy in his heart, but kept his expression on the surface: "Master Huyan, with all due respect, it is not easy to build a fleet, but it is not impossible. With the ability of your Shifeng Trading Company, I believe it can be done.
, why does your bank still want to cooperate with us? You can do it yourself to maximize profits."
"Haha, Boss Lin, the world's business cannot be completed by one or two people. The so-called profession has specialization. We have our strengths and you have yours. Why not pool our respective strengths together? We have a unique
Products, you have a ready-made fleet and sailors who are proficient in sailing. Wouldn’t this be more effective? And we can also use the time and energy to build the fleet to develop more products, each doing what we are best at.
Things, no matter how tangible they are put together, I think this is the way to do business in the future.”
After I finished speaking, I quietly looked at Lin Zhixiong who was thinking.
Zheng Huchen, like Lin Zhixiong, was thinking about my words rapidly in his mind.
After a long time, Lin Zhixiong picked up the wine glass and said: "Mr. Huyan, I would like to propose a toast to you. This cooperation is entirely according to your will, and I agree. I just don't know where the overseas market that Mr. Huyan refers to?"
"Continue sailing out from Luzon."
Lin Zhixiong said in surprise: "Further outside, no one has passed by. Are there still people in those places?"
"Of course there is, and it is far richer than Luzon or Ryukyu."
Seeing that Lin Zhixiong was unsure, Xiao Tian said casually: "MSG, I've never had it before."
There is always a first time for everything, and the biggest profit can be made the first time. Of course Lin Zhixiong understands this truth, but as the business grows, his thinking gradually becomes more conservative. This is also a common problem of many successful people, because once
I have done this before and achieved success, so I will do it again in the future. This is typical empiricism.
In later generations, many successful people are willing to spend a lot of money to dine with billionaires such as Buffett, not just for the sake of being attached to celebrities, but more to broaden their own thinking, hoping to break their own bottlenecks in casual conversations.
Lin Zhixiong looked at Xiao Tian, sighed and said: "Mr. Xiao, I presume that I have lived twenty years longer than you, but my experience is not as good as your young people. I am ashamed."
I smiled and said: "Boss Lin, you are humble. Come on, Boss Zheng, let's have a drink together."
Zheng Huchen drank a glass of wine and said, "Listening to the Master is better than studying for ten years. I wonder if I have a chance to cooperate with the Master?"
