Chapter 251 Entrepreneurship (4)
It was not until after 6 pm that Yang Yuxin returned home, and Jiang Yi, Bai Liusu and other wives had prepared a sumptuous meal, just waiting for Yang Yuxin to come back to reunite.
Although he was exhausted physically and mentally, Yang Yuxin was also very happy to see Jiang Yi and Bai Liusu. The family finally got together. After dinner, Yang Yuxin decided to rest with Jiang Yi in the master bedroom that night.
Although Yang Yuxin's favorite wife among all the wives is naturally Bai Liusu, he also knows that Jiang Yi is the hostess in the family. Although Jiang Yi does not interfere in finding a little wife, he must not be ignorant of it. It is entirely necessary to maintain Jiang Yi's authority at home in front of other wives. Only in this way can the family be harmonious. In addition, Yang Yuxin also has some things to discuss with Jiang Yi.
Now Yang Yuxin has a large mansion in Shanghai, covering an area of nearly 400 square meters, with 10 people serving each other. Each wife has her own independent room, and his and Jiang Yi's room is a large suite with an area of about 50 square meters. It has a living room, bedroom, study, and bathroom. It uses the same color of rosewood furniture and the furnishings are also very particular. In the East China government, it is considered a very high-end residence.
When the two returned to the room, Jiang Yi was lying on a concubine's couch, while Yang Yuxin took out a bottle of wine imported from France from the wine cabinet and opened it. This was a high-end consumer product specially provided for time travelers. He took out two high-level glasses. While pouring wine, he told Jiang Yi about Chang Qi's incident.
After saying that, he handed a glass of wine to Jiang Yi and said, "What do you think about this?"
Jiang Yi took the wine glass and said lazily: "What do I do? I am not a government official now, and I can't control these messy things."
Yang Yuxin said: "Aren't we both now? Isn't it okay to just chat casually? I've been quarreling in the new district government these days. I'm the first and second, so I want to hear your thoughts."
Jiang Yi took a sip of red wine and said, "Isn't there a system? Just follow the system and do it. I don't understand what to say?"
Yang Yuxin sat down on a chair on the side of the imperial concubine's couch and said, "It can't be said that, the system is dead, people live. Chang Qi's father is a general in Hangzhou. Although we are not afraid of him, we can't go over and offend him. After all, this is not Shandong, not in our territory. Moreover, we are mainly engaged in business in Shanghai. Wouldn't we just make money for peace? Moreover, his father asked a few businessmen to talk about favors. These people have big business dealings with us. We can't help but give them some face and offer 500,000 silver. Besides, Chang Qi has been whipped for 50 years and has been imprisoned for more than 10 days. It's enough to say that punishment is enough, so many people think it's better to buy him a favor."
Jiang Yi said: "What kind of official is the General of Hangzhou? How powerful is it? Compared to the governor, how about the governor?"
Yang Yuxin said: "This is an official position set up by the Qing court when he entered the pass. At that time, the Qing court divided the Eight Banners troops to various provinces, called the garrison generals. There were 14 garrison generals in the country, which can be regarded as the highest commander of the Eight Banners Army. In theory, although the garrison generals were not as powerful as the Governor, their status was higher than that of the Governor. Moreover, the garrison general and the Governor were stationed in the same province. If they report to the court, they must be led by the garrison general. However, now, since the Eight Banners Army has long been useless and the Han scholars and officials have emerged, the actual power and status of the garrison generals have dropped significantly. However, after all, they are bannermen and have some influence."
Jiang Yi raised the wine glass, shaking the red wine in the glass, and sneered: "To put it bluntly, isn't it just that I've been angry? What else should I be afraid of? Does the businessman say that favors should be given face? Then this face is too worthless. The businessman who does business with us in everything is not making a fortune, but will also have a quarrel with us for a stale Hangzhou general. I think it's probably because he likes the 500,000 taels of silver."
Yang Yuxin said: "500,000 taels of silver are not a minority."
Jiang Yi said without comment: "What about you? What about you? What do you think? Could it be that you also like the 500,000 taels of silver?"
Yang Yuxin hurriedly said, "What can it be? What is 500,000 taels of silver? If the business center is good, the daily turnover is not the same. I can care about 500,000 taels of silver, but I haven't thought about it yet, so I discussed it with you."
Jiang Yi took a big sip of wine, sat up on the imperial concubine's couch, and said, "I'm going to be this set with me. I don't like this 500,000 taels of silver. It's the truth, but if you don't think about it, I'm afraid it's not what you think."
Yang Yuxin laughed a little and said, "You are smart, and you can't hide anything from you. I'm telling the truth. I really want to sell Chang En, of course not for the 500,000 yuan silver. To be honest, since the opening of the commercial center, we have punished more than 10 powerful brothers like Xiang Changqi. I think this is not a good thing for the development of the Shanghai New District. Of course, powerful disciples like Changqi are not short of money, and they are willing to spend money. Every time they come to Shanghai New District to visit, they will have to spend at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, they are all such second-generation ancestors in their circle. They are a group with very few people but very strong consumption power. They punish Chang Qi. Who in this circle dares to come to Shanghai New District to play in the future? This is clearly pushing the God of Wealth out of the door, and there are those who do business like this."
Jiang Yi said: "So, these second-generation ancestors are making trouble in the Shanghai New District, so don't care? Today they want someone to drink, and tomorrow they will have someone to sleep with. Will it be a rebellious if they are indulged?"
Yang Yuxin said: "I didn't say that I let them make trouble in the Shanghai New District, but I can't be too rigid. To be honest, our rules are too strict. We whip them at every turn. It's less than two months. In fact, it can be replaced by fines. This can not only achieve the effect of punishment, but also give these second-generation ancestors enough face and increase our income. Isn't it much better than blindly punishing and severe laws?"
Jiang Yi thought for a while and said, "Your idea makes sense! So what are you going to do? Do you suggest to Qingdao Executive Yuan?"
Yang Yuxin nodded and said, "Yes, I have this idea so I want to hear your opinions. Do you think it is feasible?"
Jiang Yi drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp and said, "I just say that your ideas make sense, but there are many things that make sense, and not every thing can be done. You don't think about who made these rules. They are all made by the Executive Yuan and passed by the Senate. Do you think the rules are too strict, so isn't that a slap in the face of the Executive Yuan?"
Yang Yuxin was a little unhappy and said, "Why is this a slap in the face of the Executive Yuan? The rules formulated by the Executive Yuan cannot be said to be perfect. I always have the power to suggest modifications. Besides, I am not doing this for the government, right?"
Jiang Yi sneered and said, "Of course you have the power to suggest, but you should also see if your suggestions are reliable. Do you think the second generation ancestors will care about the fines? Things that can be settled with money are not a problem. If you open your mouth and have endless troubles, then everyone thinks that no matter how big the matter happens in the Shanghai New District, you can use the money to settle them. That's not a big deal. Besides, it's okay to offend all the circles of the second generation ancestors, because the goods, services and entertainment we can provide are unique, and we can't find any other places, so why are you afraid of him? When you come, you have to follow our rules and dare to make trouble on our land. If you dare to do anything, follow the rules without hesitation. If you want more, don't come."
After hearing this, Yang Yuxin thought about it seriously before nodding, saying, "You are still right, I didn't think of this level."
Jiang Yi snorted and forced: "It's not that you didn't think of this level, but you're a little proud. You're really doing well in Shanghai. I've heard a lot of people praise you in Qingdao. There are many people in the Executive Yuan who are optimistic about you, so they don't care much about your private life. But don't mess up your private life with business. Private life can be casual but does not mean you can mess around in business. Even the Executive Yuan doesn't take it seriously. Although the Shanghai New District is not the Emperor Shangao.
It is far away, but compared to Qingdao, it is also an enclave, so Qingdao will definitely be on guard against it. Therefore, as the leader of the Shanghai New District, you must not only do things well, but also pay attention to it. Even if the order is wrong, you must insist on it so that the Executive Yuan can rest assured. But when you are good, you dare to question the Executive Yuan system and make such unreliable suggestions. What do you want to do? Do you want to make friends with the powerful people of the Qing court?"
Yang Yuxin said: "The Executive Yuan has not achieved this. I have seen the achievements in Shanghai in the past two years. I have also made great contributions to the government. The taxes paid last year are among the best. Can't this reassure the Executive Yuan?"
Jiang Yi said: "Don't think that if you do a little achievement in Shanghai, the Executive Yuan will not be able to do it. Now our government will not be able to change anyone else. The achievements you have made in Shanghai are mainly because the support of our entire East China government, otherwise you will not be able to play with the work in Shanghai. Although you can't say that you are just a different person, there are 80 people who can replace you without 100. Besides, there are indeed many people in the Executive Yuan who are optimistic about you, but among the public time travelers, your evaluation of you is not very nice. You have already had four little wives, so what do you think about the time travelers who are not married yet? Don't look at your current glory, once you fall down, everyone will definitely push you together, but you can't hold on to your handle, but you are so good that you take the initiative to hand over the knife."
Yang Yuxin was also sweating heavily when Jiang Yi said it, his face turned pale and said, "You reminded you right, you reminded you right, I was too careless, I was so careless. Fortunately, I discussed it with you, otherwise it would have really made a big mistake. I will decide at the meeting tomorrow and insist on the punishment and end this debate."
