Rendian and Alan Building, these two restaurants are the most famous restaurants in Tokyo. What’s more coincidental is that the two restaurants are not far apart, just across one street. Moreover, these two restaurants are also century-old stores, and there are even two streets named after them. At the intersection of the two streets, Alan Building is the north and Rendian is the south.

The two restaurants are built opposite each other, so they are naturally business rivals. However, these two restaurants have their own characteristics and no one can defeat each other. When facing the two restaurants, there is a more lively place, that is, Beicheng Wazi, which is also one of the most lively tiles in the capital. There are sumo wrestling, shadow puppets, zaju, puppet show and other performances every day.

Mr. Wang came to Beicheng City with a bird cage. While walking around the birds, he watched the performances prepared by the various tramps. If he was interested, he would write them down and come to watch them. Speaking of which, he was also a regular visitor to the various tramps. The servants from each family greeted him when he saw him, and Mr. Wang had no airs at all and returned the favor with others with a smile.

However, although Mr. Wang has no airs, the people in the entire Beicheng Wazi dare not underestimate him, because Mr. Wang's ancestor was Wang Quanbin, the founding general of the Song Dynasty. However, Mr. Wang's father was not from the main house and now belongs to the Wang family. However, Mr. Wang is quite aware of the management method. Although he has not served in the official position, he runs several famous cloth shops and usually has close contact with the main house of the Wang family. For the sake of the Wang family, ordinary officials should treat Mr. Wang with courtesy when they see him.

Although Mr. Wang is rich and powerful, he is naturally easy-going and likes to watch dramas the most. Whether it is a noble or a peddler, he can talk to the other party. This is probably one of the main reasons why he is doing such a big business.

Mr. Wang is over fifty years old this year, and he is slowly handing over the business of his family to his sons. His favorite thing is to come to Beicheng City with a bird cage to listen to opera. Today is no exception. However, it is still early now, and the songs of each branch are still preparing, and it will not start until almost noon.

Mr. Wang was not in a hurry to watch the show, but came to a tea shop with a bird cage. He liked to have breakfast at home and then drink tea here. The servants in the shop knew him and immediately came forward when they saw him coming in. Then, according to Mr. Wang's habit, he served tea and snacks. The most important thing was a Song Dynasty Daily, because they all knew that Mr. Wang liked to read newspapers while drinking tea.

Mr. Wang picked up a piece of snack and teased his starling. He didn't rush to drink tea and read the newspaper, but listened to the chatting of other people in the teahouse. There are all kinds of people in the teahouse, and sometimes he could hear some particularly interesting news.

"Is it true that the Marquis of Dingbei embezzled the property of Hu Shang?" He heard someone whispering to his companions at the table next to him. This incident was also the hottest thing in the capital recently, and even the imperial court had censors impeached Li Zhang.

"How is it possible? As the Dingbei Hou, how much money do you want? How could you like Hu Shang's little money?" At this time, only one person replied, it seemed that he didn't believe that Li Zhang would embezzle Hu Shang's money.

"Maybe, many people saw the gold that day, there were more than a dozen cars. Not to mention Dingbei Hou, I'm afraid even the Tian family would be moved." Another person retorted with some disagreement.

When talking about the gold scattered by the Bianhejiaomen a few days ago, these people were talking louder, and even other people in the teahouse participated. After all, this is the hottest topic recently. Everyone wants to know where those more than a dozen cars of gold came from and what does it have to do with Li Zhang?

Listening to the discussions of those people in the teahouse, Mr. Wang savored the tea very calmly. Although he didn't know Li Zhang, he knew that with Li Zhang, it was impossible for him to embezzle the property of Hu Shang. Not to mention a dozen cars of gold, even if a mountain of gold was piled up in front of Li Zhang, I'm afraid that others would not be moved.

Of course, the origin of those gold is also very strange, because no matter how rich Li Zhang is, he cannot transport more than a dozen cars of gold to the market. After all, the money store was driven by Li Zhang, and he could completely transfer gold and silver from the money store, which is something that Mr. Wang has always been unable to understand.

Recently, there are too many rumors about gold. Mr. Wang is no longer interested in it after listening to it for a while. He picked up the daily newspaper that just appeared on the table and started reading it. Although newspaper distribution is now very popular, there are still a few people who really buy newspapers. For example, he is the only one who reads newspapers in the entire teahouse. It’s not that these people can’t afford it, but that many people cannot read, so they can’t understand what it says after buying the newspaper.

However, more and more people now know the importance of newspapers, especially a piece of news in newspapers may contain huge opportunities. For this reason, many people have begun to learn to read. Anyway, newspapers are written in vernacular and can generally understand as long as they read.

Mr. Wang habitually looked at the back of the newspaper, because there were some interesting news that happened in the capital on the back, and even some legendary stories written by scholars. He was an idle person and naturally liked to read these things. After reading the back, he turned over the newspaper, but he was immediately attracted by a big title on the front.

"Ten times profit Hai Trade is a gold mine waiting to be excavated!" Looking at this eye-catching title, Mr. Wang couldn't help but whisper. He was a businessman and naturally was very interested in making money. Even if the family business had been handed over to his son, he was still in control of the general direction.

Now Mr. Wang read the whole article, but the more he read it, the more shocked he became. This article was written very long, but in general, it recorded a marine trade business, and the process was written in detail. From organizing fleets, goods, to trading with natives in Southeast Asia, as well as various goods exchanged, etc., it was recorded on it, which seemed extremely credible.

However, what attracted Mr. Wang the most was the end of the article. He pointed out that this business was jointly developed by several major commercial banks. If it were ordinary people, they might not be able to see anything, but Mr. Wang knew clearly who was behind these commercial banks.

"Dingbei Hou Mansion, Zhou Family, Cao Family..." Mr. Wang silently read out the nobles behind these big business banks. This is not a secret. As long as everyone in the shopping mall knows, although it is inconvenient for aristocrats and officials to do business, they can control some business banks behind the scenes. On the surface, these business banks seem to have nothing to do with them, but in fact they are their industries.
