Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Xiao Ran smiled and pulled Mei San up, and said: "Since your eldest brother treats me as a brother, then we are all brothers, and a family doesn't have to be like this. Third brother, are your injuries better?"

The cry of "Third Brother" made Mei San's eyes filled with tears, and she couldn't speak any more excited words.Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran's face suddenly sank, and he said: "Your Yicui Building is not small. How much money have you earned?"

Mei San shivered immediately, and stammered: "No, not, not much..."

Mei Liangfu slammed the handle of the knife on his back, and shouted: "Brother asked you, don't hurry up!"

"Yes!...the annual income is about 3 taels. It has been open for four years, and the income is about...about a hundred thousand taels."

This number is roughly equivalent to what Xiao Ran estimated.Xiao Ran snorted, and said: "You open this business, do you often entertain foreign devils?"

"No, no..." Mei's expression turned pale.

Xiao Ran suddenly raised his voice: "Do you dare to lie?"

"Don't dare!" Mei San fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, "Brother was fooled by lard for a while, but it was just to earn a few more taels of silver! Brother, you are a big man, at least please forgive me this time!"

The sale of Yicuilou is actually the joint venture between Mei Liangfu and Mei Sanhe.Seeing Xiao Ran's expression changed, Mei Liangfu's sweat came down, and he was speechless.Xiao Ran said: "So, you are very familiar with foreign devils?"

"Ah?" Mei San was taken aback, and then cautiously said for a long time: "It's not familiar, but there are foreign compradors in the capital, and a few foreign uncles from the embassy yamen... Bah! What about England, France, Spain, these words can also be said a little bit."

"Oh?" Li Ran was really surprised, he couldn't see that this fat guy with big ears actually had this ability.After pondering for a while, he turned his head and said to Mei Liangfu: "Brother, any business is done for the purpose of earning money. How about this, you two brothers together, first pay 10 taels of silver, in my Tongran hall, I will give you Count one share, what do you think?"

As a first-class guard with a knife in the Forbidden Palace and a third-rank military officer in the capital, Mei Liangfu naturally knows how big the Tongrantang business is.Once you have invested in the shares, you can see Tian'er turning somersaults, and the money will rise, even if you make money, I'm afraid it will not be so fast.Besides, with Xiao Ran's ability and the Empress Dowager's support, there is no limit to how much this business can do in the future!

What Xiao Ran did was tantamount to giving him money for nothing, which Mei Liangfu himself understood.I was so excited that I didn't know what to do, I had no place to put my hands and feet, and stammered: "Brother, you really... I, I really..."

Although Mei San didn't know what a bargain he had picked, but seeing his always prudent elder brother getting excited like this, he immediately understood that this time he really made a lot of money.This guy is a mother if he has a milk, and Douda's head is knocking on the mountain, wishing to make an offering of Xiao Ran as a Bodhisattva.

Xiao Ran waved his hand and said: "Since you are a brother, being polite would seem alienating, right? As for the third brother, anyway, the Yicui Building is gone, and it just so happens that you can speak foreign languages ​​again, so go back to Tongran Hall and be an assistant manager first Do it. You don’t need to do specific things, you just need to be an interpreter for Shopkeeper Fang. In addition, you are also from a clan, so I will think about it later and find a top for you.

It is a great kindness to be able to make money without having to do anything, even Mei Liangfu felt a little surprised, and didn't understand why Xiao Ran was so kind to his brother.Mei San was even more grateful, and said incoherently: "Thank you, Lord Xiao, you are the reborn parents..."

When he didn't pay attention, the businessman's anger came out again, so angry that Mei Liangfu kicked him somersault, and shouted: "This bastard! Damn it, work hard, since you bought the shares, it's our own business. If you dare to make trouble again, I will peel your skin carefully!"

According to the ancient rules, the eldest brother is the father, Mei San is really afraid of this elder brother, and keeps talking.Xiao Ran said: "However, there is a saying that needs to be said in the head: the company has company rules, if you dare to violate them, don't blame me for turning my face and denying others. In addition, when doing things, weigh yourself, you are still a Chinese, don't give it to me. Those foreign devils acted as lackeys and smeared the face of your ancestors!"

When the Mei brothers heard this, their faces were flushed with embarrassment, and they felt ashamed.Xiao Ran went to write a note, handed it to Mei San, and sent him to Yu Lai to report.Unexpectedly, before the time passed, Yu Lai came here angrily, and when he saw Xiao Ran, he immediately said: "Brother-in-law, what's going on? Then Mei San is not a good thing at first glance, why?" Arrange him to go to the company? Go and go, not relatives, but why should he be a deputy manager! Those guys under him, who are not working hard for the company, this guy will know how to play What, why do you want to be the deputy manager? How can you convince the public with such an arrangement?"

After the rain came and asked questions like a cannonball, Xiao Ran smiled and said: "Is that all?"

"It's not over yet!" Yulai became more and more angry, his face flushed, "I heard that Mei San said that you still plan to let him invest in the company, isn't this giving him money for nothing? Brother-in-law, this Mei San What kind of person is it that deserves your great attention? I just asked, this guy used to run a brothel, could it be that you have any reason to fall into his hands?"

While speaking, he looked at Xiao Ran suspiciously.Xiao Ran was angry and funny, before he could open his mouth, he heard a voice say: "It's raining! There are no rules, why are you talking to your brother-in-law?"

It turned out that Yu Ting just came in, and after hearing Yu Lai's words, her face immediately sank.Yu Lai didn't dare to speak louder, and was still unconvinced in his heart. He muttered, "Originally, where did I say something wrong? It's not because of any relatives. Why is my brother-in-law treating him so well? Do you still want to protect him tomorrow?" How about a top son?"

Xiao Ran laughed loudly, and said: "You're right, I really want to protect him, and I also plan to set up a semicolon, so Mei San will take care of it. Yu Lai, do you want to know why?"

"why?"

"Because he's a bannerman, because he's despicable enough."

Yu Lai was stunned, Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "The current Tongran Tang, on the surface, is full of scenery, but in fact it is full of dangers. After all, it is a joint stock transaction with the emperor, and it belongs to the imperial court in name, but in reality From top to bottom in the company, not to mention the ministers of the court and the central government, there is not even a banner person. This approach not only leaves an excuse for the Eight Banners, but also provokes the Qing Dynasty. Massage vibrator MLM, these business operations, to put it bluntly, are empty-handed wolves, and one day they will be cheated. At that time, it may not only cause accusations from courtiers, but even criticism from the common people. The guy who brought down Tongrantang will inevitably push these responsibilities to the company, that is, you and me. Even if there is a queen mother, it will be troublesome. So now, we must take precautions."

"You mean, if something happens, let Mei San come to top the tank?" Yu Lai's eyes lit up.

"Almost!" Xiao Ran chuckled.Then said: "Now that the business has expanded, I am going to go to the court and set up a branch of Tongrantang. It operates independently in name, but in fact it only transfers responsibilities and debts, and the financial rights are still under our control."

"Brother-in-law is really going to hand over the semicolon to Mei San to take care of?" Yu Lai pondered for a while, then said worriedly: "This Mei San is a despicable villain, can you be trusted?"

"What I need is someone like him. I don't dare to use a gentleman." Xiao Ran said confidently, "First of all, this Mei San is a bannerman, and he was born in Zhenghuangqi, which is enough to shut up the mouths of those full of people. ;Secondly, this person is a mother if he has a milk. As long as he is given enough benefits, it will be no problem to let him dig the grave of his ancestors. In other words, he is absolutely willing to sell the interests of the bannermen for money; thirdly, he My elder brother is Mei Liangfu, a first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, a third-rank official. If something happens, he will definitely be involved, which forces him to stand on our side. Say, this Mei San. Isn’t he an excellent man? the candidate?"

Only then did Yulai suddenly realize.It should be said that Xiao Ran's worry is not unreasonable, especially for things like pyramid schemes, once a market is saturated, it will be on the verge of collapse.Now in Beijing city.This crisis has already begun to emerge.

Now Tongrantang is transforming to the industrial side.With Fulai Foreign Co., a formal purchase and sales contract has been signed. Driven by huge profits, after the planer, horizontal milling machines, universal machines, iron tube blast furnace hot blast stoves, etc. have also been shipped at the fastest speed. What makes people excited is that there is also a corn planter, a combine harvester integrating harvesting and threshing, and even the most advanced converter steelmaking method in the world at that time!These new technologies have made the factory's production level improve by leaps and bounds. The daily production of bicycles has exceeded 40, and a steel smelting factory has been specially designated.

The intervention of new machine tools is also conducive to the manufacture and development of large machinery.For example, in addition to the bicycle factory, a sewing machine factory was established. The specialized machine tools are comparable to assembly line operations.The hand-operated sewing machine is now ready to be officially put into production and will be listed in batches soon.

Among the goods smuggled by Fulai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., there are no generators or steam engines.However, the generator copied from Sushun Mansion could be imitated, and the manufactured generator provided sufficient power for large machine tools.The entire industrial production link has entered a virtuous circle of development.

The development of industry is the foundation of a country and an important guarantee for increasing productivity. Xiao Ran, who was born in trade, naturally understands this truth.In the late Qing Dynasty in history, it was precisely because of the backwardness of productive forces that the national power was empty, allowing Western powers to bully and oppress.Development is the last word, and in this era of ever-changing winds and clouds, Xiao Ran must regard this sentence as the most precious thing.

In contrast, franchising of health care products and pyramid selling of massage sticks should be said to be the best way to make money quickly, but they cannot create driving value and will not fundamentally change the backwardness of a country.This is also the most direct reason why Xiao Ran spared no effort to promote the industry.The nature of these two businesses determines that establishing a semicolon and avoiding risks is a must-go move.

After unraveling the knot in Yulai's heart, the two began to discuss the next step.At this moment, a fellow from the Tongran Hall suddenly ran out of breath to report that there was a commotion in the company, and that the new deputy manager, Mei San, had annoyed the fellows for some reason, and was beaten so badly that he almost couldn't get up.

It turned out that Mei San, who usually yelled and drank a lot, climbed up to Xiao Ran's high branch this time and took the position of deputy manager.Pointing fingers at the guys in the store, trying to give everyone a bad blow with the delusion of picking their noses and eyes.The guys were already full of anger, and it happened that two salesmen from other cities came back from a business trip that day. These businesses are usually used by Niubi Lightning. Apart from the boss and the big shopkeeper, who else do they value?Seeing Mei San's domineering appearance, how could he hold back, instigated the shop assistants to make a fuss, and beat them violently when they spoke.

Poor Meisan, who has some fists and feet, suffers from injuries all over his body, one Buddha was born after being beaten, and two Buddhas Nirvana.When Xiao Ran and Yu Lai arrived, they didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.Seeing his half-dead appearance, Xiao Ran couldn't help but want to laugh.I thought that this is fine, give him a blow, and this poor guy will pretend to be big in the company in the future.

After drinking off the guys, Xiao Ran rescued Mei San, pinched his nose and drank a gulp of herbal tea, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.Mei Sansan cried: "There is no law, there is no law! Even my deputy manager dares to beat me, what is the law?"

"Damn! Do you think you are a good bird? When you did bad things before, did you think about the word Tianli?"

Xiao Ran's words made him roll his eyes.It took a long time before he murmured: "No matter what, I was appointed by you brother after all. If they don't give me face, they just don't give you face..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Ran's face sank, and he said word by word: "You are you, I am me, in the company, the rules are great. If you want to make money here, just be honest with me. Otherwise, I will take care of the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu as well!"

Mei San was afraid of Xiao Ran, like a mouse seeing a cat, she shivered in fright, and dared not speak any more.To deal with this kind of person, you have to slap a sweet date. Xiao Ran softened his tone and said: "It's hard to be angry. If you offend everyone, how can you mess around in the future? This is certainly no better than your Yicui Tower, Let you pretend to be big. How to say this is also a business of the imperial court. If there is any trouble, your brother and I will not look good. How about this, I am preparing to set up a semicolon. In two days, I will set up a semicolon How about leaving it to you to take care of it?"

"Really?" Mei San blinked desperately, forcefully squeezed out two tears, and kowtowed: "Master Xiao, reborn parents, how can I repay you!..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a voice screaming: "Bad guy, he's a bad guy! Xiao Dongzi, run!" A girl rushed over from the door, grabbed Xiao Ran's sleeve, and desperately looked outside the door to pull.

This girl is none other than Princess Ning Wei.Now she follows li xuan every step of the way, just like his shadow.Seeing her scared look, Xiao Ran sighed and said, "Okay, let's go home."

Just when she was about to turn around and leave, Mei San stopped Xiao Ran and said flatteringly: "Brother, there is something, can we talk in private?"

Xiao Ran didn't want to talk to him at first, but seeing his stammering appearance, his heart moved for some reason, and he waved his hand to call Yulai to take Ning Wei out first.Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Mei San said in a low voice: "Brother, I didn't even tell my elder brother what I said today. If outsiders listen to it, they will definitely lose their heads. Well, if I don’t say this, I will always feel uneasy.”

There was no expression on Xiao Ran's face, but his eyes sharpened immediately, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone know what happened today, and you will definitely benefit from it."

"Success, I'm relieved to have your words, brother!" Mei San smiled wretchedly, the expression on her face suddenly became tense, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, do you want to know where I met?" The princess who arrived?"

"Ning Wei?!" Xiao Ran changed color suddenly.He had always thought that Princess Ning Wei was insane, and had already made a preconceived judgment about the palace she entered by mistake, so she missed this crucial point!For a moment, I felt my heart beating fast, and I grabbed Mei San by the collar, saying, "Quickly say it!"

"Yes, yes! In the old alley, in a quiet alley, I saw someone trying to kill Princess Ning Wei..." With just one sentence, like a bolt from the blue, Xiao Ran was stunned.

Who is it that wants to kill Princess Ning Wei? "

Xiao Ran's face was distorted, causing Mei San to shiver involuntarily. "I don't know. I really don't know! I happened to pass by that day, and I saw someone trying to attack the princess, so I rescued him. I don't know the identity of that person, but his skills are good. I and two brothers teamed up to catch him. , was about to ask, but who knew that he suddenly died of poison..."

"What?! Died from poison?!"

"Yes. Judging from his appearance, he should have been poisoned in advance. He probably didn't know it himself, and suddenly he bled to death from seven holes!"

! ! ! ...
