At this time, in the Baihua Building, the largest brothel in Yin County.

In a spacious and luxuriously decorated room, there is a tea table incense table. In front of the screen, Zhao Qi and Han Lei sat opposite each other. There was an elegant and beautiful little tea girl next to them, helping to beat her legs and backs. On one side of the room, there were several women playing the piano and singing.

The room was filled with fragrance, the zither and zither were singing, and through the windows opened by the river, you could see sailboats coming and going on the river.

Tasting the hot hot tea, smelling the elegant fragrance, looking at the beautiful singing and dancing, enjoying the gentle service, and listening to the boatman's horns that ring from time to time outside the window, Zhao Qi felt deeply moved.

This is the life that wealthy people should have.

Compared with his daily life, Zhao Qi felt that he had lived through the past few months, and he lived like an ascetic monk.

Of course, apart from the evening, A Lian's gentle service still made him feel very comfortable and satisfied.

After coming to Baihualou, Han Lei was also extremely enthusiastic and arranged the singing and dancing tea himself, and arranged it in the best private room in Baihualou. This house is a place where Han Lei used to entertain guests. It is basically not open to outsiders on weekdays. Not only is the high location so that the scenery of Sanjiangkou can be seen at a glance, but these female tea girls who play the piano and dance are also the best geishas in Baihualou. Not to mention selling themselves, there are very few people who can make them perform their skills, and they usually only receive high-ranking officials and wealthy people.

Zhao Qi is the big shopkeeper of Xiaolongwan Harbor, with a net worth of millions, so he is naturally considered a huge wealthy person.

But Han Lei actually valued not Zhao Qi's money, but his identity.

Those who are valued by Duke Chongguo Wu Qian have the future of no limit.

Especially recently, there has been a private rumor in Yin County that it is said that Duke Chongguo plans to betroth his favorite granddaughter to Zhao Qi.

Although this incident seems to be without a single word, many people know that Wu Qian and his granddaughter have been to Yanggong Town twice, with the purpose of visiting Zhao Qi.

The circle of officials and gentry is big or small, but some things are not groundless in the end. In addition, Zhao Qi's method of building Xiaolong Bay Harbor is really amazing, and it can be called a miraculous business case. Recently, as long as there are friends in the business world drinking tea and chatting together, they will inevitably talk about Xiaolong Bay, and they will inevitably talk about the successful model of Xiaolong Bay. Even those who are good at studying business theory have bluntly said that Zhao Qi can be called a rare business genius in the world. The case of Xiaolong Bay will surely be recorded in the history of business, and will become a brand new benchmark for real estate commerce in the future.

Since ancient times, except for the imperial court and local governments who have planned and built houses with various functions of government agencies on a large scale, all real estate has been built and used by themselves. There has never been a private overall plan to build a harbor and then used as a special business.

It can be said that the success of Xiaolong Bay is the first to create the world.

The business people in Qingyuan Mansion, which greatly stimulated, suddenly opened another window of different business business models for everyone, making many people feel ready to move.

Learning is one, mainly because Xiaolongwan Harbor makes money at a very scary pace.

Since ancient times, merchants have made money by accumulating time. The whole family worked hard for generations to finally save 100,000 chunks of money. None of the gentry who seemed to be in a luxurious house and sailing on a boat trip was gained by wealth. While they were glorious, they might also live in a rough and sleek inside.

But Zhao Qi was different. He used a creativity and a piece of wasteland to create a miracle. In just one or two months, he transformed from a poor country boy from a penniless country to one of the few super rich people in the entire Qingyuan Mansion.

According to some people, after the Xiaolongwan Port is fully developed, the overall scale is no less than 5 million guan, and it will reach at least tens of millions in three to five years.

The capital invested in Xiaolongwan Harbor has been slowly circulating. It only cost more than 1,000 guan to buy a piece of wasteland, and then invested less than 100,000 guan in total with several shareholders. In addition, I heard that some people withdraw 20,000 guan in the middle, which means that with a total of 70,000 guan, a huge business of 5 million guan was leveraged, and the net profit generated during this period was nearly a hundred times.

This is a business miracle that shocks everyone.

Therefore, if the miracle of Xiaolong Bay can be copied, then money will sweep like a flood. Under this temptation to make money, many big merchants in Qingyuan Mansion can no longer help but start to get ready.

Recently, Yin County has heard that several projects are being circulated and planned privately.

I don’t know whether it can be successful, but this sign has shown that Zhao Qi has indeed opened up another new model and new method to make money quickly.

A young business genius, a nobleman with a background in a prime minister and founding duke.

The combined effect of these two cannot be simply measured by money.

The more I know about Zhao Qi, the deeper I feel, the more Han Lei feels that Zhao Qi is a rare treasure and needs to win over and curry favor with him.

Although he, the official Han, is still a prestigious name in the business world of Yin County, he is not a big deal after leaving Yin County.

Even if it only talks about money, Zhao Qi is now much more than him. Three or five years later, I am afraid that he will only give Zhao Qi a shoe.

He listened to music and drank tea and talked about things. Han Lei was very knowledgeable and spoke well. In addition, he had served as an imperial guard in the palace. He was clear about the capital and spoke straightforwardly.

"For today's matter, Brother Zhao should not be too excited. Gao Zhinian has deep roots in Yin County. No matter what reason, he will not have a good ending. At present, officials in the court and all over the country are very corrupt, with many good officials, but there are more stupid officials and bad officials. Brother Zhao still has to pay more attention to some things!"

Seeing Zhao Qi's face calmer and calmer, Han Lei thought that Zhao Qi's anger should have subsided.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Han, for your explanation. Although you can't give up this matter, the most important thing at the moment is donation. It is indeed not suitable to turn against the Gao family. By the way, Shopkeeper Han should be very familiar with Gao Yanei!" Zhao Qi nodded.

"Haha, I'm sure I'm aware of this, Brother Zhao. I'm really familiar with Gao Chang. I'll drink and have a banquet every three or five days. But these are just face-to-face interactions, and I have to do it. I actually have no deep friendship with him. I just deal with him at the gambling table and the wine table. Everyone gets what they need!" Han Lei did not hesitate or cover up, and his answer was very straightforward.

Zhao Qi's instant evaluation of Han Lei became much higher again.

If Han Lei denied that he was familiar with Gao Yanei at this time, Zhao Qi would never believe it, nor would he continue to discuss it in depth.

It is unreasonable to be able to run the largest brothel in Yin County if you don’t know the biggest playboy in Yin County.

"Brother Zhao may not know that Han's ancestors were all working in Da Nei. My father was the head of the imperial guards on duty at the palace, a seventh-rank Wu Yilang. My father was demoted to the capital for offending Shi Miyuan. I was only nine years old at that time. My father was reinstated two years after Shi Miyuan's death. Later, after my father passed away, I replaced him as an imperial guard. After having a conflict with some eunuchs in the palace, I was fined for half a year in court. In anger, I resigned and returned to Yin County to open this brothel. Although the Han family has never been a wealthy family, I still know many people in the capital and even the palace. Qingyuan Mansion is close to the capital, so some things are quite relaxing. The locals in Yin County know a lot. Otherwise, relying on Han alone, the business would not be so big. Gao Chang's dealings with me are all face-saving things!"

While drinking tea, Han Lei explained the relationship with Gao Yanei more clearly, so that Zhao Qi would not be suspicious of his actions today.

"Haha, business, we have interactions with each other, just to make money and make money. The most correct thing for Manager Han to do this is. I am not jealous of Manager Han. After all, Han Zhangui is also a customer of my Xiaolongwan. In the future, we will still deal with this. There will also be some interactions at the banquet table, which is nothing to say. What I mean is that since Manager Han and Gao Yanei are familiar with each other, do you know what special hobbies Gao Yanei has?" Zhao Qi waved his hand and asked with a smile.

"Special hobby?" Han Lei was stunned while pinching the teacup.

"Well, it's just that there are those preferences in life. Just drink, gambling, and play with women. I guess every playboy has it. I'm talking about special hobbies in personality, which should be unique. If it's convenient, tell me a little bit. If it's not known, forget it!" Zhao Qi nodded.

"This..." Han Lei lowered his head and pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up, "If you want to talk about unique special hobbies, Gao Chang is indeed the same, and it has nothing to do with eating, drinking and having fun!"

"What is that?" Zhao Qi became interested.

"Have a cat!" Han Lei replied with a smile.

"Have a cat?" Zhao Qi was stunned.

"Yes, it's just to raise cats. Other playboys may like to raise horses, fight dogs, Cuju and chow pills, but Gao Chang is different. He doesn't like anything else on weekdays. He only likes to raise cats. His family collects dozens of cats of various breeds, a large group of white, black and yellow flowers, including raccoon cats, Japanese cats, Chameng cats, big food cats, and Egyptian cats. And if you hear that there are different good cats, you will definitely spend a lot of money to buy them. Hearing that the cats in his family have spent tens of thousands of dollars..."

Han Lei still sighed after saying that.

"Han thought he was knowledgeable, but he had never seen a man who liked cats so much. When he was working in the palace, many noble ladies in the capital and concubines in the palace liked cats, but he had never liked perverts as much as he did. According to himself, he slept with cats at home every night, and the bed was full of cats, so he could not even drive away his wives and concubines!"

"Damn, so perverted?" Zhao Qi's face was dull.

"Yes, it's really too perverted. Thinking about the joy of hugging your wife and concubines at night, a group of cats jumping up and down on the bed, Han was creepy when he thought about it..." Han Lei nodded with a twitching face. After saying that, he seemed to feel that the tea girl serving around him seemed a little disgusted, so he waved his hand and said, "You all go out and tell anyone not to come in!"

"Yes, great official!" Several tea girls and singing girls were all blessed and then left the room. The door was gently covered and quieted down instantly.

"Brother Zhao just asked about Gao Chang's hobby. Could it be that he wants to fix him?" After no one was there, Han Lei's tone became more direct.

Zhao Qi did not hide it, and nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's impolite to come without going. He is on the first day of the lunar month, and I am on the fifteenth day of the year. In the end, we can't just let it go. Besides, his sabotage of fundraising has a bad impact, so that all the people who were enthusiastic about the full amount would not dare to donate again. If he let him go like this, who else in Qingyuan Mansion dares to contribute money and work for the country and the people in the future? Since he can't win the lawsuit and no one listens to reasoning, he can only find a way out. However, his cat hobby is too strange, and he feels that he has nowhere to start..."

"Yes, it's so weird, it's never heard of in ancient and modern times!" Han Lei also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. The current situation is still a matter of donation. The war ahead is tight. Duke Chongguo is short of people and money in Ezhou. I cannot give up donating because of this small setback. Since I met Manager Han today, I may have to raise a donation from you. I also ask Manager Han to support you. Don't be stingy. After Xiaolongwan is repaired, I will invite friends to go to your private club to spend. Sooner or later, I will let you earn the money back!" Zhao Qi looked at Han Lei with a smile and said.

"Haha, Han went to find Brother Zhao when he heard the news. Of course, he had this idea. Otherwise, I would have gone out for a tour, and you wouldn't be able to find it. However, Han is not as rich as Brother Zhao and Xiaolongwan Harbor. Not to mention tens of thousands of coins, there is no tens of thousands of coins!"

"It's okay, it's a matter of mind. If you have money and work hard, I will write a letter to Duke Chongguo in detail no matter how much you donate. Besides, everyone is getting fire and fire. The same is true for my purpose of raising donations at the wharf. If there are hundreds, thousands and thousands of people donating some, it will be a very considerable number to gather. Sending it to the front line of Ezhou will inevitably solve Duke Chongguo's urgent need!"

"It's good if Brother Zhao said this. Then Han donated 3,000 yuan to express his feelings!"

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Han, for your generous support. Zhao thanked you for your support on behalf of Duke Chong and the frontline soldiers!" Zhao Qi stood up and saluted Han Lei respectfully.

Han Lei also stood up and returned the gift, saying a little embarrassedly: "It's not that Han doesn't want to donate more. It's because his family is big and big. The expenses are like flowing every day. As long as Brother Zhao doesn't dislike him, I will also help spread Brother Zhao's fundraising in the past few days to see if his fellow members in Yin County can help donate more. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Brother Zhao's words touched Han. The Song Dynasty still needs more patriotic righteous men like Brother Zhao to take the lead, so that we can have the goal and direction to help."

"Can Manager Han know a tea businessman named Gao Yucheng in Yin County?" After the two of them were polite and sat down again, Zhao Qi spoke.

"Gao Yucheng..." Han Lei thought for a moment and said, "This person is familiar, as if he is the shopkeeper of Yunxiang Tea House. Why did Brother Zhao suddenly ask this person?"

"Does this Gao Yucheng have anything to do with Gao Zhinian?" Zhao Qi took a sip of tea.

"Well, probably not. Although I am not familiar with Gao Yucheng, I am still very familiar with Gao Chang. I have never heard of any relationship with them. Moreover, Gao Zhinian was an official transferred from another place, and Yunxiang Tea House seemed to have had it when I was very young!" Han Lei thought carefully and said.

"That's good, shopkeeper Han, please see this..." Zhao Qi took out a small wooden box with a square size from his pocket, opened it, took out a business card for the Anti-Japanese War and the National Saving Charity Sale and handed it to Han Lei with his hands.

"Brother Zhao is this..." Han Lei took it with both hands for no reason, and after looking at it over and over again, he was confused.

"In order to raise more military pay this time, we actually planned two donations. The first is to place donation boxes in places with a large number of people on the dock to raise funds from the people. At the same time, we vigorously promoted and aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the people. This was well carried out in Yanggong Town. It was estimated that it would be several thousand trump cards in three days. However, it was destroyed by Gao Yanei in the county town. It seems that there will be some resistance to continue this matter, but the effect of fundraising from the people will definitely not be very good. After all, most of them are poor people, and they accumulated a few or dozens of trump cards, just for a lively purpose. Therefore, after discussing with a few friends in Yanggong Town, I prepared a second fundraising method, which was the anti-Japanese war and national salvation charity sale that Manager Han saw!" Zhao Qi pointed to the business card and said.

"Please explain in detail by Brother Zhao!" Han Lei spoke in confusion.

Zhao Qi smiled and roughly explained the method of the charity sale. Han Lei understood it as soon as he heard it. He suddenly realized and praised it with a thumbs up and said, "Brother Zhao is indeed a genius in the business world. He can even think of such things. It is not only good, but also good. This is indeed a good idea. This can not only raise military wages for the frontline, but also allow people participating in the charity sale to buy some items they like, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Han Showcase is right. We are still planning this matter. Today we will tell you if Han Showcase is interested in participating. Maybe we can also hold a charity sale in Yin County. As long as the planning is more comprehensive, the effect may be better than that of Yanggong Town!"

"I agree with Brother Zhao's words very much. Compared with Yanggong Town, Yin County is indeed much more wealthy businessmen and gentry. Han is also willing to contribute to this charity sale, but Brother Zhao still has to be careful of Gao Chang's interference..."

"Yes, this guy is simply a disaster!" Zhao Qi shook his head with a wry smile.

Han Lei could only spread his hands and said that he could help, and he could help, but the premise was that Zhao Qi would deal with Gao Yanei. Otherwise, if he forced himself to stand up, he would be afraid that he would offend Gao Chang and would not say anything. In the end, he would be in a mess and not please both sides.
