Chapter 141 well-intentioned
Chapter 1,41: Good intentions
Ouyang Chengxu is now like a sponge, trying hard to absorb the knowledge passed down to him by these people. In his heart, he actually understands very well that there are so many people who help him now. If he doesn’t learn it well this time, he will be a little sorry for these people!
This day was a very tiring day for Ouyang Chengxu, and it was also a very fulfilling day. On this day, his notebook was filled with some characteristics of the products of these merchants. Now Ouyang Chengxu also understood these things. He must keep them firmly in mind. On the one hand, it was indeed what Murong Fu said. This was to help those merchants sell goods, but on the other hand, it was also a means, just like he promoted the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, and he also did business for the Ming Dynasty.
Murong Fu was also happy about Ouyang Chengxu's hard work. Although these businessmen are relatively rich and powerful, their identities are still relatively low, and it is impossible to meet those people with high status and power. Therefore, they can only rely on these officials. Among these officials, Ouyang Chengxu is nothing more than a person worth relying on, and if he recommends it, it will naturally have a very good effect!
Ouyang Chengxu naturally had his own ideas. At the end of the visit, he put forward his own ideas, and he was a little nervous. He didn't know if Mu Murong Fu would agree. After all, in the eyes of other businessmen, he would also be worried about the loss of his technology!
Murong Fu thought about it and agreed to Ouyang Chengxu's idea. Of course, he naturally came to talk about the work of those merchants. Although Ouyang Chengxu said now that he felt like a little reward, compared to the possible help of Ouyang Chengxu, this is nothing. Everyone is a businessman, so just think it is a transaction! Of course, he did not forget to make a promise that these merchants could send someone to give special guidance to improve the current Ouyang family's industry.
Murong Fu agreed, which surprised Ouyang Chengxu and was naturally very happy. It was like he originally planned to pick up a sesame seed, but now he picked up a watermelon. When he returned home, he could no longer hide his joy. When he was having a meal, everyone in the Ouyang family could see it!
"Xu'er, what's wrong with you? I'm so happy?"
His mother asked curiously
"That's right, that's simply awesome!"
Liang Xiaoyue did not forget the helper next to her, of course, they were not drunk, and they also had some hints. Yesterday, Ouyang Chengxu had been staring at Yu'er's room, and they seemed to catch up with the spy. The laughter from time to time in the room also made the two of them feel happy. For them, this means that the two of them were in love, and what they didn't expect was that the two of them had been talking for more than an hour!
So now seeing Ouyang Chengxu so happy, the two of them thought it was because of Yu'er, and they didn't expect anything else!
While talking, the two of them also secretly looked at Yu'er. In their eyes, Yu'er is almost a family now.
Ouyang Ming also noticed the performance of these two people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The two of them missed their mother more and more. The same was true for the time, and he said immediately: "Xu'er, then you can talk about it!"
Ouyang Chengxu immediately said: "Today I asked Lord Murong, he had promised him to tell those people in person, so I can't think of it for long, you should be able to go and have a look. On the other hand, he also promised to let them come out and help us! And, look...!"
Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but take out the recorded ones and handed them to Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming looked carefully and said in surprise: "How did they ask you to record this?"
The things on this include many things that can be considered confidential, especially the choices of raw materials, requirements, etc. As a businessman, Ouyang Ming certainly understands that this can be regarded as some secrets that are not passed on. If it were himself, it would not be possible to tell others casually!
But now these things have been recorded in detail by themselves. This is somewhat incredible. Don’t those people understand these truths? But the answer is no, of course they are very clear!
Ouyang Chengxu nodded and said, "I was strange at first, but later Lord Murong explained the whole story to me. Although these people are rich, they are not qualified to meet those high-ranking officials from the Gentiles. The worst thing they can contact is some inconspicuous small officials. When they meet, these will be given as gifts to those high-ranking officials. So they hope that when I give them, I can explain the characteristics of these gifts in detail to them, such as selection of materials, firing craftsmanship, etc. In this way, the Gentiles' high-ranking officials can remember these things. I also thought about it carefully. After I went out, the Ming Dynasty was like a family to me, selling my own things to others, so that others knew that the things in our house were very good, and they could not make them, and that was my own glory! After all, if you are outside, we mean the Ming Dynasty!"
Ouyang Ming nodded very satisfied. These days, his son could see that it was becoming more mature. He closed the books in front of him, but he didn't show them to Ouyang Chengmu. He handed them over and said, "If you think this way, you are mature too. You can keep this well and you can remember the things on it firmly. However, this introduction must be very natural. Do not read the script according to the script. This will give people a very awkward feeling and will make others look down on you. Also, the things on this involve some confidential things from those merchants, so you must pick them up well, but don't show them to others! Once it is leaked, it is very likely that the efforts of several generations will be ruined!"
Ouyang Chengxu took the book, but he didn't expect that his father was so reasonable. He nodded and said, "Father, I understand, don't worry!"
The conversation between the two also made Ouyang Chengxu's mother and Liang Xiaoyue understand that Ouyang Chengxu was happy not because of Yu'er, but because of other things. He looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes!
Ouyang Chengxu didn't pay attention to these things. After using supper, he talked with his father for a while before he planned to go back to his room and digest what he learned today, at least he had to remember it firmly in his heart.
But before she left, she was stopped by her mother. When she turned around, she was holding a plate in her hand, just like yesterday, with a cup and a small bowl on it!
"When you go back, you can bring this to Miss Yu'er!"
She said, then handed over the plate, without any room for negotiation!
"Why is it me again?"
Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but say strangely, but he still reached out to take the plate. For him, although he had been able to talk to his father and elder brother just now, no matter what, he seemed too serious to talk to them, and he seemed very restrained and couldn't let go. He was also worried that he had said it wrong. This was also the barrier caused by the age gap. However, he had a very happy conversation with Yu'er in his room yesterday. On the one hand, everyone was about the same age and could be considered a peer. Although there were differences in the family background, his views on certain things were similar. On the other hand, Yu'er actually didn't know much about these, so even if she said it wrong, she would not notice it and avoid that embarrassment. This made Ouyang Chengxu feel an unprecedented relaxation. She was the only one who could chat with him like this in this mansion.
"You hit someone else, Yu'er can't walk now, and her legs hurt. Why? Now you're complaining that you're giving her some food?"
She had no room for her son to refute. After saying this, Ouyang Chengxu immediately surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, I'll go now!"
After saying that, I took the plate and walked inside, but my steps were unprecedentedly relaxed!
Yu'er's room light was still on. When she walked to the door of the room, Ouyang Chengxu looked at his clothes carefully, and then quietly said, "Miss Yu'er!"
Yu'er is in the room now, but she can't rest, so she is embroidering something. Suddenly, Ouyang Chengxu's voice came out. Her hand couldn't help but shake, and the needle was pierced on her fingers!
Yu'er quickly put her finger in her mouth, sucked it for a while, then said, "Young Master Ouyang, please wait a moment and come soon!"
After saying that, he put down his things, put up a crutch, and got up to open the door for him!
Opening the door and looking at Ouyang Chengxu holding the plate again, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Young Master Ouyang, are you?"
Ouyang Chengxu smiled and then said, "My mother asked me to send it. Well, can I come in?"
Yu'er hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!"
After saying that, he made way open the door and let Ouyang Chengxu walk in!
As if it was just like yesterday, after entering, Ouyang Chengxu suddenly realized that he had a lot to say. After chatting for a few words, he talked about the things he encountered today in detail again. Just like yesterday, Yu'er listened very interested.
On the other hand, Murong Fu and Ding Zicai were in Jiang Lang's mansion at this time, and the three of them gathered around a table of wine and food, eating slowly.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Lang asked: "You have also been in contact with Ouyang Chengxu for some time. You have some understanding of this person compared to you. In your eyes, how is he like? Well, Mr. Ding, let's talk first!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ding Zicai hurriedly said, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "After contacting today, I also confirmed that Ouyang Chengxu is indeed smart, and the most valuable thing is that he is very studious and is arrogant because he is not at all arrogant. At first, I was a little worried about whether a person like him would be a little arrogant and could not recognize how capable he is. But now I find that I seem to be a little too careful. He knows himself very well. Now he is not the material that can deal with those Gentiles directly. The most important thing is that he lacks experience and has not experienced it, so he doesn't know what he should do! Because of this, he is so studious. I am not afraid that he will not understand anything, but afraid that he will not learn anything. Although time is a bit hasty, I believe that if this is the case, he should do something!"
Ding Zicai's judgment was also relatively objective. He did not give any other comments because Ouyang Chengxu was his student.
Jiang Lang nodded slightly after hearing this. As long as Ouyang Chengxu is good at studying, he will feel relieved. As Ding Zicai said, there is still time now. If you don’t understand, learn slowly, and then take it step by step, you will naturally achieve great things!
Then, he said: "Then Mr. Ding, you have to hurry up next. Tomorrow, Ouyang Chengxu and other adults will meet. The emperor has greeted these adults and warned them appropriately. They may have some thoughts in their hearts, but they dare not say it clearly. But he is a junior after all. If these adults are too respectful to him, it is not what I need to see. I hope that you and other adults will treat him like their own students. Don't be stingy when you need to teach. At the same time, you also hope to use this period of time to get along well, at least when you set out, you must look pretty! And your burden is very heavy, and these adults were chosen by you. Compared to your relationship at the beginning, you must play a role as a bridge."
People need to get along with each other, and then get to know each other's personalities. Only in this way can they get along well. When they go out and lead these people, it requires a lot of skills. Especially for young people like Ouyang Chengxu who suddenly became promoted. For those officials who get up step by step, they are like nouveau riche. They look at Ouyang Chengxu just like those real big families with a long history, and naturally they will not look down on them!
These personnel from all the accompanying departments were recommended by Ding Zicai, and he was somewhat familiar with them. In this way, he became a peacemaker, which was largely like a stabilizer in chemical reactions!
Ding Zicai also understood what Jiang Lang meant and said immediately: "Sir, please rest assured, the villain will definitely remember what he said!"
Jiang Lang nodded, turned his head and looked at Murong Fu again, and asked, "Mr. Murong, tell me your opinion!"
Murong Fu said it carefully about taking Ouyang Chengxu to the merchants' places to learn about those goods today, and said with a smile: "As Mr. Ding said, although Ouyang Chengxu is young and does not know many things, these are not a problem. Moreover, after I took him along today, I found that he is indeed very easy to learn, so I believe he should be competent. I said that he is a person selected by the adults. How could his vision be wrong?"
Jiang Lang smiled and said, "The one I chose may still be wrong. Of course, I don't want to be wrong. Although he did sell the cannons so successfully last time, we cannot completely regard him as a lucky person, but this does not mean that Ouyang Chengxu is a qualified businessman, especially this kind of transaction has very special characteristics, so you also tell those merchants who accompany him, don't be stingy with their experience. What secrets do they have or what ideas do they have? Even if they teach Ouyang Chengxu, the more the better. Of course, there is no need to worry that Ouyang Chengxu will become the best. All I want is that he wants to be the best! If this mission is successful, they will naturally have a contribution, and the court will not forget them!"
The success of every businessman is because they have their own methods. What Jiang Lang wants now is to let Ouyang Chengxu gather the directors of the Hundred Schools. The more he knows, the more it will be for him to deal with the ministers of the Gentiles, and the more it will be for the court. In fact, a good diplomat is also a good businessman, because diplomacy is not a simple diplomacy. Every diplomacy naturally has a purpose, rather than a targetless one.
Of course, these businessmen who often run outside can get to this point today. Of course, it is not accidental. It is very likely that they will become successful just because of one chance. However, the so-called "fighting the country is easy and hard to defend the country. They can get to this point naturally have their own mystery. And they have also accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with these people, which Ouyang Chengxu wants to learn, so Jiang Lang hopes that these businessmen will not hide anything. Of course, these experiences of others have been accumulated over the years and years. If others make contributions without reservation, they naturally have to give others some benefits. This is nothing more than benefits. Of course, this benefit will not be given to them directly, but to them some preferential policies. For merchants, preferential policies are more valuable than any reward.
Jiang Lang has done his best to make this mission. In any case, only success is successful and failure is absolutely not allowed!
When Murong Fu heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He naturally understood the weight of Jiang Lang's words. He nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Wang, when I go back, I will tell them to do my best and do whatever I can and give all I know to Lord Ouyang!"
