Through the ancient dark horse strategy

Qi Fangtian came out wearing a fluffy fox fur, as soon as he saw Qi Mo, he immediately felt like he had seen a ghost.Immediately straightened her shrunken shoulders, took out the hands hidden in the sleeves, and bowed respectfully to greet Qi Mo: "Good morning, uncle."

Qi Mo hummed, and Ye Xiaoyi beside him asked curiously: "Qi Mo, this Si is older than you, right? He calls you uncle?"

Qi Mo said gently: "I am a senior, and they all call me uncle. There are three little guys in the yard who also call me uncle. You are about the same age as them, and you can call me uncle too."

Qi Mo was referring to the young masters Qi Yongfu, Qi Liuheng, and Qi Gaojun.

"Don't! You're addicted to being an uncle. I don't want to be your nephew. It's better to call you by your name." Ye Xiaoyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

No wonder this guy always speaks so softly and slowly. It turns out that he is used to treating himself as an uncle.You used to always talk about being a teacher and being a teacher. If you dare to be an uncle, I will collapse!

Qi Fangtian just admired the courage of this bald boy, he dared to call the Patriarch by his name directly.Then he admired his ability even more, because Qi Mo agreed so easily!

Qi Mo smiled and said gently: "As you like, I will not restrict you."

In this way, Ye Xiaoyi obtained the privilege of calling the Patriarch by his real name.

After Qi Mo left, Qi Fangtian took Ye Xiaoyi out to take a carriage.

As Qi Fangtian walked, he was amazed: "How did you do it? Not only did the Patriarch pamper you so much, he even gave you his cloak, you are amazing!"

Ye Xiaoyi said boldly: "Just look, he will definitely yield more and more in the future, even people have to listen to me."

Qi Fangtian has a toothache, why does this person look so unreliable?He should be quite capable.

This is the first time that Director Qi, who has read all the official businessmen and imperial merchants, can't see through a person.

Qi Fangtian took Ye Xiaoyi to meet people, to get acquainted with the bosses of various official businessmen first.The leaders of these official road merchants are either relatives of the emperor or relatives of powerful and high-ranking officials, and their style is very high.

The carriage Qi Fangtian and Ye Xiaoyi rode in was also very luxurious, and the strings of rings and jingle bells on Qi Fangtian's body, jade and agate were not inferior to princes and children.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't have any expensive accessories on him, but the snow fox cloak he was wearing surprised the people who picked him up.

Everyone knows whose cloak it is. The snow fox fur made of the rare Lingshan snow fox fur is the only one in the world, and only that master has it.What is the identity of this person, to be able to wear that person's clothes?

The person who picked him up was more careful about Ye Xiaoyi than Qi Fangtian, the chief executive, and asked Qi Fangtian about the identity of this new face without any trace.

Qi Fangtian just joked: "He is my uncle's new junior."

In fact, Qi Fangtian didn't know what Qi Mo's plan was.Qi Mo and Ye Xiaoyi's bet was known only to the two of them, and no one else knew how to locate Ye Xiaoyi, a paratrooper, so they could only wait and see.

Ye Xiaoyi followed Qi Fangtian to hang out in the "expensive" circle, so it's not advisable to be too active when meeting for the first time.When others came to talk to him, Ye Xiaoyi would follow them in a polite and bureaucratic manner, neither eager to cling to nor show off to be the leading role.Just watch the situation from the side, make a decision before making a move.

In fact, as the new face of this party, he is already the protagonist.Holding it high will make people dare not despise you and take the initiative to make friends with you.

If all the wealth information, good and bad, are known to others, you are out of the game.

The dignitaries here love to show off, and anyone who speaks out is a famous person.But in fact, even the relatives of the emperor have their own difficult scriptures to recite.

These aristocratic circles like to cover up their own difficulties to the last detail, and then stand upright on the scene and laugh at others.This is also the reason why your circle is extremely exclusive and likes personal relationships in small circles.

Your wealth, background, pedigree, financial resources, reputation, family style and many other factors, as long as one of them does not match the "expensive" circle of others, they will not take you to play every minute.

Ye Xiaoyi also knew that after today, his background would be exposed, and most people would not come to visit him.He wanted to catch a small fish while others were still treating him so cautiously today.

Big Yu doesn't like him anymore, and he must run away after knowing his beggar background.Xiaoyu can give it a go.

Qi Fangtian brought him out today, probably to test his ability.In the future, it will be gold and silver, or it will be left on the sidelines and sit on the bench, it depends on today.

So Ye Xiaoyi got up very early today, and he thought a lot last night.

If he can get off to a good start in one fell swoop, and form his own influence among official businessmen at the stage of familiarity, he will definitely become popular in the future.It will also be reused by Qi Fangtian.

If he doesn't have any grades today, it is estimated that Qi Fangtian, the chief executive, will not care about him anymore.

Because after today, based on Ye Xiaoyi's background, he is basically a dead fish among official businessmen.

This is an imperial chamber of commerce held at the end of the year. Everyone at the morning tea is the boss of various government-run handicraft industries.

Salt, iron, wine and tea, the four great imperial merchants.The bosses of the three major light industries of the government-run ceramics workshop, printing workshop, and weaving workshop.Gunpowder, shipbuilding, weapon production, coin casting, palace architecture, mausoleum construction, yamen repair, water conservancy construction, etc., the veterans of the eight major heavy industries.The giants of these government-run industries are all gathered here, and it is really full of friends.

Qi Fangtian was like a fish in water in the circles of the rich and powerful, as well as in the circles of the emperor's business veterans. He went to greet every boss, introduced Ye Xiaoyi by the way, and said loudly that he was Qi Mo's new recruit.

Others were indeed very curious about Ye Xiaoyi, but Ye Xiaoyi only talked in an official tone and didn't talk much.He's looking for a small fish he can hold.

Today, the Royal Chamber of Commerce at the end of the year is to facilitate mutual understanding and strengthen cooperation.

Someone put on a high profile and didn't plan to find a partner here at all.Some people have sharpened their heads and sneaked in here, looking for a chance to make a fortune.

Ye Xiaoyi was looking for the second type of person. This kind of person was eager for wealth and success, and would be easier to cooperate and control.

This kind of person is easy to find. Look at those who are desperate to make friends with others, and those who fail and continue to find the next target. Most of them come with appeals.

It’s good to have a purpose and aspirations, I’m afraid you have no desires and no desires.If you have a need, I will naturally give you the goods.I'm most afraid that you don't want anything, and I don't know how to win you over.

Ye Xiaoyi looked at it for a while, and these small circles that seemed to be one were also divided into forces.There are some people who are old and godlike and put on airs, and some people have been tossed and turned for several rounds and can't squeeze into other people's small circle.

Ye Xiaoyi leaned over to Qi Fangtian's side to ask him: "What's the origin of that one who is wearing gold-rimmed clothes embroidered with large copper coins?"

Qi Fangtian raised his eyebrows and said: "Kong Wenda, the owner of the printing house who just fell this year, is the in-law of the prefect of the lower city. Are you interested in him?"

Ye Xiaoyi nodded and asked, "How did his printing workshop fall down?"

Qi Fangtian told him generously: "Three years of famine caused some people to jump up and down, not only some people mobilized the hungry people to smash and loot shops all over the place, but also some people directly pointed out that today's destiny is not good, and they are not worthy of being emperor.

A few piles of texts from years ago.After the prison case was sentenced, the Ministry of Industry banned private printing houses.All printed materials of the folk must be sent to the Ministry of Rites for review and stamping to confirm that there is no suspicion of treason or evil.Only by teaching speech can they be allowed to be printed and sold.

Beginning at the beginning of this year, the original printing workshops are required to obtain a license from the Ministry of Industry before they can continue to operate.

Word.The prisons are so extensive that not only the nine clans are exterminated, but all writers, prefaces, proofreaders, copyists and book buyers cannot escape.If a printed book does not have the approval seal of the Ministry of Industry, no bookstore would dare to sell it, let alone a literati would dare to buy it.

Therefore, all government-operated and private printing houses rushed to manage the Ministry of Industry, vying to buy the licensed printing of the Ministry of Industry.Kong Wenda was late and did not get the printing permit from the Ministry of Industry, so his printing workshop had to collapse. "

Ye Xiaoyi was puzzled and said, "How could he not get the printing license if he has money? Does he not have enough money, or does he have no internal connections?"

This situation is easy to understand, but whenever the imperial court starts to clean up a field and intervene in the management of a field, it just wants to collect roadblocking fees.If you pay enough tolls, you can usually pass the customs. Why do you have to go bankrupt?

Qi Fangtian explained his doubts: "You don't know that, Kong Wenda is a gambler and owes countless gambling debts. Now it will make things worse for him to spend money to pay for the Ministry of Industry.

But once his printing shop went out of business, he would have no money to pay his gambling debts.So he put up his old face to come here to borrow money from people, and he couldn't let his printing shop go bankrupt. "

That's it!Ye Xiaoyi asked again: "Then how much money do you need to get this business license seal?"

Qi Fangtian leaned over and whispered in Ye Xiaoyi's ear: "The current situation is that there is no 3 taels, and this permission seal cannot be obtained."

Ye Xiaoyi was taken aback: "3 taels? What about robbery? How many seals did the Ministry of Industry issue? Isn't this crazy money?"

Qi Fangtian said in a low voice: "There has been a famine in the Northwest for three years, and the imperial court has also suffered from a severe famine. There is money to be made, so of course a lot of money must be made.

Anyway, these wealthy businessmen have plenty of money, and those who have no money can only close their doors. "

Ye Xiaoyi thought to himself, this elimination is cruel.Those who started from scratch, managed to set up a handicraft workshop, and fell down as soon as they said they fell down.The gap between the rich and the poor has finally been narrowed. In this way, the rich are still rich, and the poor are still poor.

Ye Xiaoyi asked again: "Then will the 3 taels of toll be paid back?"

Qi Fangtian smiled: "The previous publishing technology was engraving and printing, and there were not many publications. After the popularization of movable type printing in recent decades, there have been more printed books. There are only hand-printing workshops in the Jiangbei area. Thousands of houses.

But so far, only [-] companies have obtained the printing license and printing. Do you think the management fee can be earned back? "

Grass!This ridge.It's so awesome, what a job.Harm! The cake for 1000 people was dominated by these 20 people.It's broken, it's strange if these big rich businessmen don't get fat.

This license has to be bought back, let alone 3 taels, 5 taels has to be bought back!

Ye Xiaoyi quietly watched Kong Wenda go around borrowing money, and when he was discouraged and sat on the side in despair, he was called to come to him.

Kong Wenda cautiously asked Ye Xiaoyi what instructions he had, but Ye Xiaoyi just said calmly, "How is it? Bad reputation? Others won't lend you money?"

Kong Wenda could only laugh, this is not an ordinary amount of silver. 3 taels!His printing shop hadn't made so much money in ten years.Who would lend it to him easily?

Even if he borrowed money, he didn't dare to promise when he would pay it back.Maybe when his grandson is born, he will still be in debt.But he is also used to it.

Ye Xiaoyi teased him again: "I heard that you like to gamble, how much gambling debt do you owe?"

Kong Wenda laughed again: "Not much, not much, just a little money, not worth mentioning."

In fact, Kong Wenda owed a huge amount of gambling debts to the gambling house for more than ten years. If his printing house went bankrupt, he would have to sell his wife and daughter to pay off the gambling debts.

It's just that he is an official relative anyway, and he wants face. This kind of thing is tacit and cannot be admitted.

With a few words, Ye Xiaoyi reminded Kong Wenda of two points, one is that it is impossible for you to borrow money, and the other is that your family will soon be ruined and everything will go bankrupt.Kong Wenda was even more anxious after two sentences.

When Kong Wenda was sweating on his forehead and wanted to hang himself, Ye Xiaoyi said, "I can save you."

Kong Wenda immediately prostrated himself on the ground, and said thank you Guanshi Ye for saving him, and that he will be your cow and horse in the next life.

Ye Xiaoyi stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, don't rush to thank me. I can lend you 3 taels of silver, but I have conditions."

At this time, he also agreed to ask Kong Wenda to sell his daughter, Kong Wenda hurriedly said: "Just say what Ye Guanshi said, Kong must obey."

Ye Xiaoyi only raised his condition at this time: "You can't afford 3 taels, but can you afford 5000 taels? You honor me with 5000 taels of silver, and I will pay the 3 taels for you.

I don't need you to repay the debt, I just want [-]% of your printing house's bonus, how about it? "

After Kong Wenda thought about it, he just sold [-]% of the printing house, which was much more conscientious than selling his daughter.

When is this cheap thing not allowed now?Kong Wenda quickly agreed: "In three days, I will offer you 5000 taels of silver to sign this contract with you."

After Kong Wenda left, Qi Fangtian asked curiously, "Where did you get the 3 taels of silver?"

Ye Xiaoyi laughed and said, "I'll borrow it from you."

Qi Fangtian resolutely said: "No borrowing. Then Kong Wenda will pay off the debt in three lifetimes. Even if [-]% of the dividends are paid off, the return cycle of the publishing industry's funds is too long. When will it be possible to get back the money?

I have these 3 taels, why not set up a printing workshop by myself, and then all the dividends will be my own, wouldn't it be better? "

Ye Xiaoyi said: "That's right, the publishing industry has a long cycle of returning funds, and the funds cannot be recovered until all the printed books are sold, at least a year or so.

This is a faster way to pay back my capital. You lend me 3 taels, and after one month, I will return you 5000 taels.I made a profit of 5000 taels in January, which is not as high as anywhere else. I asked you to borrow money because I wanted to make it cheaper for you.If you don't want to, I will take advantage of others. "

This time, Qi Fangtian was really curious, "It's only been a month, and I'm afraid the printing license has just been issued. How do you get the 3 taels of silver back immediately?"

Ye Xiaoyi only said: "Just look at it, will you borrow the 3 taels of silver? If you don't, there are many people in this chamber of commerce who want to earn the 5000 taels of interest."

The implication is that if you don't borrow it, I will find someone else.

In the end, Qi Fangtian lent him 3 taels of silver.

Ye Xiaoyi signed a contract with him, and if he couldn't pay it back, he would deduct it from his salary.I don't know when and when the 3 taels of silver will be deducted before it can be paid off?

Qi Fangtian fell into the trap of Ye Xin and Xiao Yi purely out of curiosity.

Ye Xiaoyi received 3 taels of silver, and immediately asked Qi Fangtian to help him get the printing permit.

Uncle Qi Fangtian said: "I have already borrowed your money, but you still let me do something?"

Ye Xiaoyi took it for granted, "Aren't you nervous about your 5000 taels of principal and interest? Of course I can take the money and let Kong Wenda handle it himself, but if he messes up, your capital will be in vain. You should do it properly." .”

Qi Fangtian couldn't help it, he advanced into his tricks.It is the uncle who borrowed money now, so he can only make a trip in person.

What is Qi Fangtian's status, as soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, the minister of the Ministry of Industry came out to receive him in person.They had to line up for a month's work, so the minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately said: "Just go home and wait. Before dusk, I will send someone to send the permission seal."

As a result, Ye Xiaoyi received this sweet stamp that night.Power and money were really useful, Ye Xiaoyi covered the 3 taels of seal before going to Qi Mo's yard to return the cloak.

Qi Mo saw Ye Xiaoyi waiting for him in the yard wearing a snow fox cloak, looking very eye-catching.Qi Mo smiled gently: "This cloak is very suitable for you. I heard that you are very imposing at the chamber of commerce today."

Ye Xiaoyi smiled: "Then I would like to thank you for showing me face. If it weren't for your cloak, how could I be so majestic? I came here specially to thank you today."

Qi Mo stroked Ye Xiaoyi's bald head, and smiled charmingly: "So good-looking? I'll give you this cloak. I've sent you some clothes, but it's still to your liking? If you have any requests, just let me know."

Ye Xiaoyi said nonchalantly: "I don't have any other requirements, it's just that my room is so cold, it would be great if I could move here to live with you."

Qi Mo said with a smile: "You are such an adult, you still want to sleep with others?"

Ye Xiaoyi said: "I just love sleeping with you, what's the matter?"

Qi Mo smiled and said nothing.

Ye Xiaoyi thought that this was the end of the matter, but he didn't expect that when he woke up the next morning, there was a hole in his roof.

After the housekeeper Qi came to see it, he muttered to himself: "Is this caused by the snow? How could such a big snowball smash through the roof? The roof of the Qi family has always been better?"

Ye Xiaoyi glanced at Uncle Qi, and then said sweetly in his heart: "You can ask your Patriarch, maybe he knows who smashed it."

Sure enough, Qi Mo sent a message back, asking Ye Xiaoyi to move in and live with him.Ye Xiaoyi was about to laugh, why is this guy so sullen?I agreed at that time, wouldn't there be so many things?

It took Ye Xiaoyi two days to move into Qi Mo's yard, and as far as the furnishings were concerned, Qi Mo let Ye Xiaoyi add whatever he liked.

They don't live in the same room, not even the same living room.Qi Mo lives in the main room, Ye Xiaoyi lives in the wing room, and there is a corridor between them.

But Ye Xiaoyi was the only resident in Qi Mo's yard, and his backyard was empty without any female relatives.It was really a sensational event when Ye Xiaoyi moved in, even the servants and maids joined in, and Qi Mo's courtyard became very lively.

Everyone in the Qi family has their own calculations in their hearts, but they dare not gossip.Just secretly watching, walking and watching.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't have time to care about everyone's thoughts, he was still busy arranging his first business deal which was a good start.

On the third day, Kong Wenda came to Ye Xiaoyi for help with the 5000 taels of silver he had sold and borrowed from relatives and prefect in-laws.

Ye Xiaoyi took his money, put the life-saving printing approval seal in front of him and said, "Sign this contract, and the seal will be yours."

When Kong Wenda saw this seal, his heart beat faster and his blood flowed back!He finally got over this difficulty.

Originally, after he heard about this person's background, he was still a little uneasy.But due to helplessness, he had no choice but to give it a try.Unexpectedly, this person directly got the seal.

Kong Wenda carefully read the contract, and there was only one item on it, that is, Ye Xiaoyi invested 3 taels to get [-]% of the bonus of Kong Wenda's printing workshop.

Kong Wenda read it twice, and asked the notary to read it again before signing the name and confirming the deed.

Ye Xiaoyi accepted the contract with satisfaction, and then mentioned Kong Wenda: "Boss Kong, I'm afraid you don't have a lot of money right now? I can show you the way."

Kong Wenda immediately thanked him and said, "Thank you, Guanshi Ye. If Kong is lucky enough to stand up, he will reward you with a generous gift!"

Ye Xiaoyi looked at the notary next to him, Kong Wenda immediately understood, and the two sent the others away, Ye Xiaoyi called him closer and said in a low voice: "When you go back, put up the signboard of the printing house, if you have a seal, you can Sell ​​seals. One chapter can be stamped with many red seals. If you charge money for each red seal, you will issue it.

They must be in a hurry when other printing houses shut down. They don’t have 3 taels, but they still have the money to spend a few taels or tens of taels to buy a print.

If you want to make money, you don't need to rely on printing houses at all. You just collect money and get soft hands just for printing money. "

This is an alternative game of salting tickets. The big salt merchants don't make money by selling salt at all, they can sell salt to get tickets.

Kong Wenda got this chapter, and his printing workshop became a deceptive display.The stamps are endless, and he will be able to live without worry for the rest of his life just relying on the money from selling the red stamps.

If it wasn't for the fact that this matter was exploiting the court's loopholes and the nature of being caught was serious, Ye Xiaoyi would not have given such an opportunity to Kong Wenda.

But Xiao Mo once warned Ye Xiaoyi in a serious way that such a thing cannot be played by himself.

After Kong Wenda thought about Ye Xiaoyi's method for a few times, he slapped his thigh and said, "High! Thank you, Guanshi Ye, for your guidance. But, will the court allow me to do this? Will I be arrested?"

Ye Xiaoyi comforted: "The imperial court didn't say no, didn't it? As long as you check the books carefully and sell them for printing, if there are no suspicions of treason, you won't be able to cause any serious trouble.

If the imperial court minds us doing this, the chief executive can still mediate for us, so it’s okay to stop at that time? "

Kong Wenda, an old fritter, understood immediately. The court's reaction speed has always been relatively slow. If he stops at that time, he may have already made a lot of money.

This return of funds is much faster than printing and publishing.

After Kong Wenda went back, he contacted other printing houses privately and sold dozens of red stamps.

The printed book number of a modern publication is only four or 5000 yuan per number. Kong Wenda, who is crazy about money, sold for 20 taels for a red seal.

While others hated him for being ruthless, they gave him money and bought the red seal of permission.A bibliography is 20 taels, and ten books are 200 taels. After dozens of new books that are urgently needed to be published are approved for publication, Kong Wenda earns 1000 taels.

He earned the 1000 taels but didn't pay any money, which can be regarded as a no-cost business.

At this time, Kong Wenda began to feel sorry for his 300% bonus.This steward Ye is really ruthless, 3 taels a day in dividends, and [-] taels can be paid back in three months, and he will take the money he sent for nothing in the future.

After Kong Wenda sent Ye Xiaoyi 300 taels of interest per day, Ye Xiaoyi publicized the matter and asked street beggars and children to help promote the high dividends of Kong Wenda's printing workshop.

The other family also took the seal, but they haven't figured out how Kong Wenda made the money.The news that Ye Xiaoyi received 3000 taels in interest for seven consecutive days spread all over the streets.

On the eighth day, Ye Xiaoyi issued bonds.He held 30% of the dividends of Kong Wenda Printing House, so he divided the 30% shares into 1 shares, 2000% per share, and sold one share at [-] taels.

There will never be a shortage of quick-moving speculators in the market. Some people are suspicious of why Ye Xiaoyi sold the money tree, and choose to wait and see.Some people bought several shares as soon as they made a move.

Ye Xiaoyi's 30 bonus shares were sold out within seven days, and he got 6 taels of silver.

In just half a month, less than a month, Ye Xiaoyi actually got 3000 taels of silver in his hands.This is definitely the fastest return of funds nowadays.

Because it was not yet the repayment date, Ye Xiaoyi followed the same pattern and used the 6 taels to ask Qi Fangtian to get two permission stamps back.

Kong Wenda's business alone was limited, so Ye Xiaoyi picked two more printing houses to support.

This time Ye Xiaoyi hadn't said a word yet, and he was offered seven or eight thousand taels of silver to ask him to take care of it.

But this time, Ye Xiaoyi sold 60 bonus shares of two printing workshops at a price of 3000 taels per share, and they were sold out immediately.

After one month expired, Ye Xiaoyi saved 21 taels of cash in his hand, and after paying back Qi Fangtian's 3 taels, he had 18 taels left in his hand.

In just one month, his wealth can catch up with Qi Fangtian.It also gained a group of investors to follow, and three rising printing houses also named him the boss.

Ye Xiaoyi forged his own power so quickly that everyone in the Qi family stared wide-eyed.Ye Xiaoyi also quickly made a name for himself in Jining City, known as "Monk with Jade Face".
