Chapter 4: Business with Wang Yan
The world is prosperous and prosperous, all comes for profit; the world is in a vast world, all comes for profit.
--《Cultural Journal》
"You help me?" Liu Xi was stunned. "You are just a food shop, why..."
Wang Sanfan interrupted him and said with a smile: "Do you think the power of a businessman is very small? Forget it, I will show you my new discoveries later."
The two had already picked up the dishes and brought them over. Sitting down, Sanfan, Liu Xi smiled without saying a word. The two were not polite in their golden branches and jade leaves. They picked up their chopsticks and ate them on their own, but their eating habits were very different. Liu Jia was gentle, slow, and chewed carefully, as if enjoying it, and had a royal atmosphere. The little girl feasted and ate happily. She didn't have the charm that a proud daughter should have. She just shouted delicious. Seeing the two brothers shook their heads, Sanfan felt very interesting...
After they had enough food and left, Sanfan Liu Xi looked at each other. Liu Xi went out and asked Xiaonuo to come back to see the store. Then he followed Sanfan to the back box... and came to the cellar of the newly expanded store. Sanfan asked Liu Xi with a smile: "Do you know how I knew you were talking just now?"
Liu Xi teased: "Don't I know you yet? You must be like an old lady listening to the wall next door!"
Sanfan spat and said, "Bah! Am I so unprosperous? It's so unsafe, eavesdropping is also an art!" As he said that, he twisted an inconspicuous small jar on the wine cabinet with his hand. In Liu Xi's surprised gaze, the wall slowly moved to the side and leaked out of the small room behind him.
Liu Xi asked in surprise: "What's going on?" He said that, and walked into the small room first. The room was dry and clean, and the only thing that was conspicuous was the two copper tubes that went straight to the top of the room. Liu Xi looked at Sanfan in confusion: "This...?"
Sanfan said with a smile: "It seems that this house is also a ancestral property of everyone. The cunning rabbit has three holes, which is used to avoid disasters. The two copper tubes are called "thief listening" and are used to listen to the movements outside. In the army, the army often sets down bamboo tubes to monitor the movements underground to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels to attack... I also discovered it when I was just getting the wine."
Liu Xi lay on the copper tube and listened. No sound in the store was omitted, which made him hear it sincerely.
Sanfan smiled and said, "How is it? It's a fresh thing, right?" He leaned against the wall in the room, "I'm not afraid of hearing the walls when speaking here. The book is followed last time, and I'll tell you the wonderful uses of merchants!" He paused and talked happily: "The former Qi wise man Kong said, "Growth, birth, and profit." The people have four books, farming and eating, and eating, and making it through work, and practicing. Everyone can do their own abilities and do their best to get what they want. If the farming does not come out, there will be no food, and if the work does not come out, there will be no business, and if the business does not come out, the three treasures will be lost. If the business does not come out, the three treasures will be lost. If the fear does not come out, the
The wealth is scarce. The wealth is scarce and the mountains and lakes are not opened. These four are the original things for people to eat and clothing. If the food and clothing are large, it is abundant, and if the food and clothing are small, it is rich. If the country is rich, it is rich, and if the family is rich, it is rich. As the saying goes, "If the granaries are full, it is known to be etiquette, and if the food and clothing are sufficient, it is known to be honored and disgrace." Etiquette is born from existence and abandoned from non-existence. Therefore, a gentleman is rich and likes to perform his virtues; if the villain is rich, he is rich and fish grows with his strength. The mountains are deep and beasts go to him. People are rich and benevolent and righteous. The rich get it? They gain it and make it clear, and lose it, and then the guests have nothing to do, and they are not happy. The barbarians become more and more. The proverb says: "A son of a thousand gold will not die in the market." This is not empty words..."
Liu Xi, who had already heard it with relish, suddenly woke up and interrupted him: "Okay OK! Don't recite it!"
Sanfan's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, and he stammered: "What... back?"
"Yes!" Liu Xi sneered, "I thought you had any great arguments! You are not memorizing Shi Taigong's "Caiqi"? Fortunately, I am not really ridiculous and I often read books, so why don't you tell me to shake it again!"
"Ah! My plagiarism hit the car... Shi Taigong? Not Taishigong?" Sanfan seemed to have no expression on his face, thinking, "It seems that he will have to study in this world if he has the chance..."
"Forget it! I won't tell you these false things! Let's be pragmatic..." He quickly organized his own language in his mind, "If you want to untie the bell, find the bell tied first! They will win you over, then you will definitely be a great help to him. But I can't figure it out, you are a idle prince, and you are clearly not wading in muddy waters, so why do you still hold on to you?"
Liu Xi's eyes dimmed and he said bitterly: "Maybe the late mother's surname is Xiang!"
"I understand!" Sanfan quickly waved his hand and interrupted, joking. He was not interested in the inside story in the palace. Besides, the muddy water was wading around? Helping Liu Xi starts from the morality of his friend and let him protect himself. But he doesn't have to bet on his life and tremble in the swords and swords of the palace wall...
"I won't talk about your mother anymore... it should be related to your great change in temperament!" Sanfan said calmly, "But you have thought about why this is happening? Because you don't have the power, your influence depends entirely on Xiang's family. But Xiang's family is loyal and will never be involved in the affairs of the palace... This is why you, a prince, have to hide your strength and pretend to be stupid!"
"But now, you have a chance to control your own destiny..." Sanfan's face was filled with a treacherous smile, "The future 'Taotie' has the halo of your prince, and my craftsmanship and unique management, it's okay to make money every day. In a year, you can become the most influential business in the capital! Plus," he pointed to the copper tube, "This thing will bring you unexpected gains! Your emperor is a mediocre emperor, but he is also very sober, and the power of the government is still in one hand. Your two brothers can't make a big fuss, and you have enough strength to protect yourself. At the least, you can also be a rich man with anonymity..."
Liu Xi thought deeply, and it took a while to wake up from the confusion and looked at Sanfan firmly: "You are right! My destiny really needs to be controlled by me! The Tian family is ruthless, and as long as there is a slight threat, they may be harmed by open and hidden arrows. I have been exhausted. It is also good to be a big shopkeeper who earns money every day..."
"However," Liu Xi said admirably, "You businessman makes me look at you with admiration..."
"I know what you want to ask!" Sanfan hurriedly interrupted, "But, you can't say it, you can't say it!" Seeing Liu Xi shook his head helplessly, he interrupted with a smile, "Haha, you will be the big shopkeeper in the future! 'Taotie' depends on your methods!"
"You want to be lazy again!"
"Haha! There's no way, I'm born lazy, and the kitchen is the best suited for me... Besides, how can I enjoy life here every day? More than a month after opening, I haven't even seen what the Beijing looks like!" Seeing Liu Xi refuting again, Sanfan, the interrupting elite, blocked it in time, "I guess, that military advisor and princess must have not given up. Maybe she is planning to plot against you now!"
Liu Xi's attention was suddenly shifted, and a smirk appeared on his face: "In my experience, it seems that you should be the one who is suffering..."
