Chapter 9 New Business

"You're my dog!" The woman grabbed Yan Fei's clothes and shouted that Yan Fei killed her dog and asked Yan Fei to compensate him.

The quarrel here attracted many people to stop. The woman who was acting tantrums even shouted to the security guard how outsiders like Yan Fei entered the community. The security guards were all waste.

Yan Fei said with a calm expression that he was also a resident of the community. However, after looking at him, the woman said with disdain that she did not have high-end watches or world-famous brand clothing, and her shoes were still street stalls. She must have come to the community to deliver express delivery. She dared to say that she was a resident of such a high-end residential area!

Yan Fei no longer wants to waste his time with such unreasonable troubles, so he just told the security guard to call the police and let the police deal with it.

High-end communities like Fengzeyuan have very complete surveillance systems. After the police arrived, they checked the surveillance system and made it clear that Yan Fei had just looked at the bulldog and did not act aggressively. The death of the bulldog should be because of his own problem and has nothing to do with Yan Fei.

"Wait for me, I must avenge my baby!" The woman expressed her anger to Yan Fei hatefully, saying that this time the matter is not over!

Yan Fei's response was also very simple, "This dog just died. If you want to recover some investment, it is still time to send it to the dog meat restaurant now."

Ignoring the furious woman behind him, Yan Fei turned around and left.

"It's time to change his outfit." Yan Fei looked at his full set of online shopping and street stall goods, remembering the woman's previous words and decided to buy a outfit for him.

Women's handbags men's watches, men need to have their own watch, both good and bad. Yan Fei didn't buy Rolex because he heard that it was the standard for nouveau riche. He bought another world-class brand Patek Philippe, and he bought a global limited edition model with a price of more than one million.

As for the clothes, it is a full set of bosses. He is now the boss of a leather bag company.

Yan Fei rented a floor office area in a business building, and recruited more than a dozen employees and finally got rid of the scale of the bag company. After having employees, the first thing they did was to ask them to order 100,000 canned meat.

The employees were stunned when they heard that they wanted to export canned lunch meat. Who would import such things these days?

But the boss who paid the salary has given the task, and they can only execute it.

The canned meat that had been heard for 100,000 yuan was sent to the warehouse. After that, Yan Fei opened a sealed cardboard box and took it out. He heard that the can was fiddling with it for a while. Then he picked up a box of canned meat and started to travel to the Ming Dynasty.

"How do you feel?" At Fang Qianhu's home, Yan Fei, who was holding a teacup, sat on a chair and looked at Fang Qianhu, who was holding a can of canned meat, and asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

"Okay, okay!" Fang Qianhu, who was full of oil, looked satisfied with his expression, constantly expressing his satisfaction to Yan Fei.

When he was in the military camp, Fang Qianhu had also seen Yan Fei eat this kind of canned food for his soldiers. The scent of the fragrance made him want to taste it, but he couldn't let go of his identity and share it with those mud legs who were too lazy to look at it in the past. It was not until this time that he fulfilled his wish.

As Fang Qianhu, I have never eaten meat. However, a lot of oil and extremely precious spices are added to the canned meat, which makes Fang Qianhu irresistible.

Spices are real luxury goods. At this time, they are completely top-quality goods equivalent to gold. Even Fang Qianhu rarely gets them. This is especially true when the supply of daily necessities is almost cut off.

After Fang Qianhu was still unsatisfied with eating the whole can and adding a few bites, Yan Fei smiled and asked, "Does Qianhu think if you can sell these cans?"

"Sell? Canned food?" Fang Qianhu looked at the empty canned box in his hand in confusion, and then nodded vigorously. "Such a good thing can be sold! I wonder if there is anything I can help?"

"A canned food of this kind is one pound." Yan Fei whispered his plan. "I want to ask the Qianhu to recommend it to several grain stores for sale, and the price is one tael of silver. As a reward, you can share one ounce of each sold."

Before the industrial age, the production capacity was very poor and all kinds of supplies were extremely lacking. Many people may not be able to eat a bite of meat all year round. The price of meat is very high, and there are also a large amount of expensive spices in the can. It is not difficult to sell one or two silver taels of silver.

For Fang Qianhu, nothing else is important. The most important thing is that Yan Fei promised him a 10% reward!

"How many of them do you have?"

“Hundreds of thousands.”

Fang Qianhu's breathing was a pause, which meant a share of tens of thousands of taels!

Afterwards, things became simple. Fang Qianhu, who was in a state of madness for money, mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized to sell these canned meats that were said to be shipped overseas to all places where they could be sold.

This kind of canned meat, rich in oil and expensive spices, quickly opened up the market and even went to the dining tables of many powerful families. All the big families, restaurants and even many families with pretty good life in the city began to buy in large quantities, and were even treated as very respectful gifts.

At this time, the canal transport in the south of Beijing was almost cut off, and the west was basically completely in the hands of Li Zicheng. The north was the Tartars and the east was the sea. The surrounding Zhili places were also terrified by the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass and looting and robbers' rampant natural disasters and man-made disasters. In addition, it was still cold winter at this time, and the supply of various materials was almost cut off.

There are many wealthy families and powerful people in Beijing, and they have a lot of wealth. However, the shortage of various daily necessities has caused the prices of everything to soar, except for those who put in the bidding to sell their first place and want to be a slave to make a living.

In this environment, Yan Fei can exchange a large amount of silver for any kind of daily necessities in food, clothing, housing and transportation. From the perspective of doing business, this time and location are definitely the best choice.

The rich family has not been in stock for a long time. When canned food containing a large amount of spices are on the market, these wealthy families will buy goods without hesitation, even if the price is so high that one tael of silver, they don’t care. In their opinion, so many spices are enough to make a profit, and they are the main force in buying canned food.

One hundred thousand cans were sold soon. Yan Fei, who had earned 90,000 taels of silver, did not exchange the silver for gold, but took out 50,000 taels of them and donated them to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was slapped in the face and even the fig leaf was torn off after hearing the news, finally got a good mood and was very satisfied with Yan Fei, the person who was loyal to donating the most to the country.

Whether he was sincerely satisfied with Yan Fei or wanted to erect Yan Fei as a typical example to set an example for everyone, Emperor Chongzhen gave Yan Fei many short names.

First, he added the title of General Dingyuan, a third-ranked rank to Yan Fei, and then he added the title of deputy commander of the Left Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office.

You should know that although the Governor General has no real power but only a nice title, he is also a real second-rank title. In the end, Emperor Chongzhen also appointed Yan Fei's son, who was not sure what liquid state it was, an official of the hundred households of the Jinyiwei.

The Ming Dynasty's official positions at the end of the dynasty were no longer valuable. At this time, even the top scholar Wei Zaode, three years ago, could become the chief minister of the cabinet. The official positions granted to Yan Fei were of no use except for sounding good. Even the salary corresponding to these official positions is now in owed.

Perhaps he was a little guilty about these rewarded titles, so Emperor Chongzhen distributed dozens of silk and satin, ten jars of imperial wine, two imperial horses and some antiques and rare treasures.

After giving the reward silver and sending away the eunuch who was proclaimed, Yan Fei, who rarely returned to his mansion in the city, looked at the pile of things in front of him with joy.

The silk, silk, satin and other things are not very valuable. There are many things in the modern world. They are directly distributed to the people in the mansion as a year-end reward. The wine and other things are directly sent to the military camp as a reward for those with excellent training. The horses are good and can be kept, and what really makes Yan Fei happy are those antique treasures.

Porcelain vases, sets of tea sets and tea bowls, sets of beautiful snuff bottles, etc.

The porcelain vases of the official kiln are typical blue and white porcelain, while the tea sets and tea bowls are imperial porcelains made in the palace made by the official kiln. As for the snuff bottles, they are made of black silk crystals, red agate, turquoise, coral, blood chicken stone and other materials, more than 30.

These things may not be anything to the powerful family of this era, but if they are taken to the modern world, they are definitely antiques.

After seeing these imperial gift items, Yan Fei's first reaction was to get rich. Selling so many antiques would definitely make a fortune. The second reaction was that he found another way to do business, which was much easier than antiques such as salt and grain. It was easier and more easy to make.

Yan Fei took these antiques back to the modern world without hesitation and prepared to sell them. As for the matter of putting away the imperial items respectfully, he had never thought about it.

Although these antiques are valuable, selling them is also a troublesome. The reason is that Yan Fei cannot explain the origin of these antiques and how to prove that they belong to him. If he just took them out directly, Yan Fei would probably only be able to exchange for a banner plus five hundred yuan.

Yan Fei, who was eager to cash out these antiques, chose to take them to Hong Kong for auction, and various conditions there would be much more convenient.

In the reception room of Sotheby's Hong Kong branch in Admiralty Square in Central, when the receptionist saw Yan Fei take out a Yuan Dynasty celadon vase from a huge box and put it in front of him, out of years of work experience, he could tell at a glance that this was true!

"Sir, please wait." The receptionist knew the value of this kind of thing very well and hurriedly left to find his boss and the appraisal expert.
