Chapter 17 A Peace of Mind

(Please recommend, please bookmark...)

On a hill in the western suburbs.

Chen Fangyuan looked at the scene of a large group of beggars in the distance and received steamed buns from his servants in tears. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly turned his head and said to Guo Dan, who had a plain expression on the side: "I didn't expect that the nephew was not only smart and capable, but also so kind. It was rare. It made me, an elder, feel ashamed."

"Good heart?"

Guo Dan was so happy: "I don't have such noble sentiments."

Chen Fangyuan said curiously: "Why is this move by the virtuous nephew?"

"Why? I want to..."

Guo Dan frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I think it should...it should be said to repay God."

There is also a bit of uncertainty in the tone.

"Repay God?"

Chen Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, really didn't understand.

Guo Dan just smiled slightly and stopped explaining because he was not very clear about why he did this.

In the past, he never considered doing charity in the past, but now, he always feels that he still has to do something. This may be out of awe of heaven. Although he was an atheist before, and when he believed in God Jesus the only time he believed in God, it was just because the client was a Christian. However, after so many things, his mentality will inevitably change. Do something good and seek peace of mind. Then he saw that everything was in order in the distance, and said, "Thank you for your help, I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute."

Chen Fangyuan hurriedly stopped him.

Guo Tan asked, "Is there anything else?"

Chen Fangyuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Nephew, I have sold Chenlou now. I have some spare money in my hand. Otherwise, if we cooperate to do some business, it is not convenient for you to come forward, I can help you."

“Not interested.”

Guo Dan refused Chen Fangyuan without thinking. Now that the Kou family has stabilized, he is eager to stay at home at ease and wait for him to be sleepy.

Chen Fangyuan hurriedly said, "Nephew, don't be too busy refusing. Even if you don't want to do business, you can give me some advice."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Don't Uncle Chen knows the truth about doing business or not? You just keep opening your restaurant, it's just a different place, so I don't need my guidance."

Chen Fangyuan sighed: "I haven't thought about it, but I'm really tired of it after working in a restaurant for decades. And now I'm opening a restaurant in Beijing, and the competition is getting bigger and bigger, so I want to change my career."

You should know that this time he not only caused Zhou Feng to fall apart, but also offended many of his colleagues. If he continues to open a restaurant, it will definitely not be easy.

"I can't help this." Guo Dan shook his head and said.

Chen Fangyuan's eyes turned and said, "Nephew, I'm not to hide it. Actually, I'm interested in taking a break for a while and then making plans. It was because Xiaodong and the others came to me yesterday and asked me if I would like them to help. Alas... Actually, they are all very clever, they are all good seedlings. I can't bear to go back to be beggars, so I wanted to find something for them."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I don't have the ability to be the leader of this Beggars' Sect. After all, they still have to rely on themselves. In addition, I don't have this obligation."

Alas... It seems that he is really repaying God, and it has nothing to do with Shanxin. Chen Fangyuan muttered secretly, but still did not give up and continued: "Not to mention Xiaodong and the others, just talk about the Kou family. Although the Kou family has overcome difficulties at present, I don't think the Liu family will forget it like this. You don't want to come forward by yourself. If we cooperate, what will happen then? I can help you come forward!"

Guo Dan glanced coldly and said unhappily: "Old Chen, you are becoming more and more annoying."

He even saved the honorable title.

Chen Fangyuan was still happy. He no longer hoped that Guo Dan would respect him.

The reason why Guo Dan is so unreasonable is because Chen Fangyuan said it is not unreasonable. This has made Guo Dan return from his full dream to the reality of the backbone. Yaxing is a business full of crisis. Although the Kou family has overcome this difficulty, it is impossible for it to be smooth sailing all year round. If something goes wrong again, he really needs to come forward for himself, lower his eyebrows and ponder for a while, and said, "Do you really want to change your career?"

Chen Fangyuan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course."

Guo Dan said: "Do you know why I hired Xiaodong and the others?"

Chen Fangyuan thought carefully and said, "It's because they are very familiar with the capital."

"good."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "To be more professional, Cao Xiaodong and others sell information. Beijing is the largest trading place in the country. Merchants from all over the world will come here to trade. However, many merchants know nothing about the situation in Beijing. They need to obtain the most detailed and correct information within the fastest time. In other words, they need an institution that has no interests in all transactions, or a pure confidence institution, so that they can obtain unbiased information."

Chen Fangyuan thoughtfully said: "Does my nephew want me to open a store that specializes in selling this information?"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

Chen Fangyuan said: "This seems a bit similar to a tooth shop, but to do a tooth shop, you must apply for a license from the government. Otherwise, you will not be able to open a tooth shop. I may not be qualified in this regard."

"no the same."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Although Yashang also has this kind of service, they mainly participate in transactions or promote transactions. Because they can manipulate prices, the court has a very strict review of them. I asked you to open this store, which has nothing to do with the price. We are only responsible for collecting information, summarizing and analyzing, and then selling the results to merchants in need, of course, including Yashang, but they do not directly participate in any transactions. As for how to trade, that is what Yashang does."

Chen Fangyuan could not understand it half way through, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Although my nephew's words are reasonable, but... I have never done such a thing before, so I have nowhere to start." As he spoke, he glanced at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan said simply and clearly: "You pay 70% of the money, I pay 30% of it, but I account for 60% of the money, and you account for 40% of it."

You are really direct. Chen Fangyuan sounds strange and disgusting. Even if you mean that, can you be more tactful? I still want to save face. I glanced at Guo Dan with a very aggrieved grievance.

Guo Dan said, "This is already a friendship price. If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it."

Chen Fangyuan immediately said: "One word is certain."

He was already convinced by Guo Dan. From the perspective of interests, Guo Dan's minimum appearance price was 1,000 taels. Even if he had a share of 6,400 taels, he would have to have 6,700 taels. As for the cost, it was nothing more than relying on people to pile up, and hiring Cao Xiaodong didn't need to spend much money.

"But I want to take a break for the time being. After all, I have worked so hard for so many days, so it's so tiring." Guo Dan stretched out.

Chen Fangyuan's eyes turned red. Why did you work hard? It's all about me and Cao Xiaodong and others who are busy here, and there are father and daughter of the Kou family. You just say a few words.

Guo Dan had no such awareness at all, and was not asking Chen Fangyuan for permission. He then said, "During this time I was resting, you should first find someone to teach Xiaodong and others to recognize words and arithmetic. These two points are indispensable for this profession."

Chen Fangyuan said: "It takes a long time to read and recognize words!"

Guo Dan said: "It's just a recognition of words. Don't read the Four Books and Five Classics. We are not asking them to take the scientific exam."

"That's true."

Chen Fangyuan nodded.

Guo Dan said: "Okay, I'll go back first, let's talk later when we have time."

"My nephew waited for a while."

Chen Fangyuan grabbed Guo Dan and smiled and said, "I wonder if my nephew has ever thought about taking a concubine?"

Guo Dan was confused: "Take a concubine?"

This word is very strange!

Chen Fangyuan nodded and said, "Yes! My granddaughter is already at the age of marriage. If his nephew wants to take a concubine..."

"Neuropathy."

Guo Dan rolled her eyes and left straight.

Chen Fangyuan said with a depressed look: "My granddaughter looks good, she is really ignorant. Forget it, for sure, at least he promised to cooperate with me."

Thinking of this, he seemed to laugh again and went down the mountain slowly.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind me: "Chen Fangyuan."

Chen Fangyuan turned around and saw an old man wearing a hat behind him, looking at him with a smile. There were two followers standing behind him, one holding a fish basket and the other carrying a fishing rod. After looking carefully, he immediately stepped forward in panic and saluted: "The villain Chen Fangyuan has seen Xing'an Bo."

This old man is Xu Mengchong, the Xing'an Bo.

There was no saying that wealth was only three generations in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Xu Mengchong, his ancestor Xu Xiang first assisted the Ming Taizu to establish the Ming Dynasty, and later made great contributions in the Jingnan Battle. Therefore, after Emperor Chengzu of Ming ascended the throne, he named him Xing'an Bo in terms of merit, and was the leader of the fourteen people who were named Bo in the Jingnan Battle. This title has been passed down to this day and has been the seventh generation.

For example, if the earls like them don’t commit suicide, they will definitely be very rich. For generations, there are more and more land, and their lives are naturally becoming more and more prosperous and worry-free. Just say that Xu Mengqian is delicious by nature, so he also knows restaurant owners like Chen Fangyuan.

"No gift, no gift."

Xu Mengchong waved his hand and smiled, "You have been in the limelight recently, and the streets and alleys are talking about you."

Chen Fangyuan smiled bitterly and said, "My uncle laughed. If he had to force him, who would have wanted to sell a store!"

"Ten thousand taels!" Xu Mengqiong smiled and said, "I think many people will be moved. Don't behave like it when you get a bargain."

Chen Fangyuan smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

This is also a fact.

Xu Mengchong suddenly pointed at Guo Dan who had already walked away and said, "That young man is the master who is behind you."

Chen Fangyuan said in surprise: "Your Majesty..."

Xu Mengchong said, "Don't I understand you yet? If you have such a method, how can you not compete with the Jinyu Tower?"

Chen Fangyuan looked embarrassed.

Xu Mengchong said curiously: "What? Can't you say it?"

Chen Fangyuan stumbled twice and said, "I'm not hiding it from my uncle, this is still... I can't say it, because I signed a confidentiality agreement with the young man. If I reveal it, it would be a violation of the agreement."

It would be fine if he didn't say it. Xu Mengchong was even more curious and said unhappy: "But I have seen it."

Chen Fangyuan was just a businessman after all, and the other party was Xing'anbo, and he was immediately in a dilemma.

Xu Mengchong said again: "Tell me, I promise not to tell me."

Having said that, Chen Fangyuan knew that it was necessary and said, "I will not hide it from my uncle. In fact, the younger generation is Guo Dan, the son-in-law of the Kou family."

"The son-in-law of the Kou family? Yaxing Kou family?"

"Um."

Xu Mengchong said in confusion: "But I heard that the Kou family's son-in-law is a little..."

Speaking of this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"My uncle doesn't know anything. It's all because Kou Shouxin is too stingy and pedantic. He doesn't want to give his son-in-law more money, so he knows to use his precious daughter. Fortunately, Guo Dan doesn't care about him and even helps him a big favor." Chen Fangyuan became more and more angry as he spoke. He always feels that the innocent man is really not good at this matter. As Bole, he can't even touch a thousand-mile horse, which makes Kou Shouxin's blind man bump into it.

Xu Mengqiu was a little confused and said, "How do you say this?"

Chen Fangyuan told Xu Mengchong about the whole story, including their coming here to help the beggars today.

"I see."

Xu Meng nodded and said, "In this way, this kid really has some tricks." As he spoke, his eyes gradually became deeper, as if he was thinking about something.

Chen Fangyuan really didn't dare to say anything more. After all, he still had to cooperate with Guo Dan, so he changed the topic and said: "Brother, I heard that your winery has recently brewed a new wine."

"You have a good news." Xu Mengchong smiled and said, "It's a pity that we can't cooperate anymore."

Chen Fangyuan said: "I haven't helped you sell much wine over the years. But you have always supported Chenlou. Like some wine merchants, you have not stopped selling wine to me."

"That's because your food is delicious. If you don't sell wine to you, how can I have the nerve to go to your house to eat that delicious food?" Xu Mengqing laughed.

Having said that, he wanted to sell Jiuchenlou, but how dare he say anything in Jinyulou.

"I've really thanked you for taking care of your business over the years." Chen Fangyuan bowed and said, "But I also heard that you plan to find a tooth shop to cooperate with and help you manage the winery."

Xu Mengchong nodded and said, "Over the years, my winery's business has been dead. Although it has not changed, it has not improved either. After all, I am not a businessman, so I want to find a business to cooperate with."

Chen Fangyuan asked again: "Why don't you know if you have a good choice?"

Xu Mengchong said: "I originally planned to find the Liu family, but now after hearing what you said, I want to hear what that kid thinks."

"It's definitely right to look for him." Chen Fangyuan said and blinked again, then turned to a flattering smile: "But don't say it's a villain, if you want him to know, he has to scold me to death."

Xu Mengchong said incredibly: "You are his elder, how dare he scold you?"

Chen Fangyuan said depressedly: "Although he is a scholar, he doesn't know how to love the young at all, but he embarrasses me a lot. Moreover, he...he may not be willing to help you. I just heard him say he wants to take a rest for a while."

"Yeah?"
