dream of red mansion

Chapter 146 Entering the Antique Business
Zuixiaolou is one of the largest restaurants in the west city of Shenjing, and most of the rich businessmen, dignitaries and dignitaries who come and go often entertain their friends here.

At a table by the window on the second floor, Jia Qing and Wu Xian'er were sitting together having a drink.Don't think that Wu Xian'er can't drink because she is a woman. If she really wants to drink, even Jia Qing can't beat her.

At the next table, five people including Wang Shun and Zhang Chang also formed a table, and they added a few small wines and dishes to eat.

"The food and drink in Zuixianlou is better than other restaurants, not to mention the canteen in the Imperial College!"

Although the Guozijian did not prohibit the prison students from going out, it was located in a remote place and there were no good restaurants around, so Jia Qing hadn't come out to eat and drink for a while.

Wu Xian'er was not as cold to Jia Qing as before, and said, "I think it's fake if you invite me to dinner, and the truth is when you're greedy!"

Jia Qing smiled and said, "It's the same."

"Is this young master the famous Mr. Jia?"

Suddenly a strange man's voice sounded.Jia Qing looked up, and saw a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, a small beard and a smiling face standing in front of him.

"you are?"

The man heard the words and said humbly: "Little Leng Zixing is the son-in-law of Zhou Rui, the wife of Mr. Shangzheng's wife. I met Mr. Jia once by chance when I went to visit the mansion, but I didn't dare to disturb him rashly. Today I happened to I am very happy to meet Mr. Jia in this Drunken Immortal Tower, and please forgive me if I disturb you."

Jia Qing didn't quite understand the series of explanations that followed.It's just that he does know the word Leng Zixing.Isn't this the one who gave speeches about Jia's mansion with Jia Yucun in a small restaurant in Yangzhou?

Even Jia Yucun praised this person as a person with great potential, and he knew the Jia family very thoroughly, he was a talent!
Jia Qing attaches great importance to talents.

"Since it's my own family, let's sit down and talk if we don't want to disturb you!"

Leng Zixing didn't expect Jia Qing to be so talkative, but he didn't sit down directly when he heard the words, but looked at Wu Xian'er next to Jia Qing.

What a handsome boy!

Seeing this, Jia Qing said: "This is my book boy, it's okay, Brother Leng, please sit down."

It's not that Jia Qing entrusted him to the elders, but that his seniority is indeed quite high. Strictly speaking, it's not too much for Jia Qing to call him a nephew for Leng Zixing.Because he called his mother-in-law is called sister.

Leng Zixing said: "Thank you, Mr. Jia." Then he turned to Wu Xian'er and said, "I've met this little brother." After speaking, he sat opposite Jia Qing.

He is very well-informed and knows that Jia Qing was bestowed the title of "Wen Lin Lang" a few years ago, and he is a young child prodigy with an official status.Otherwise, he wouldn't take the risk of being in love with a cold ass to pursue friendship.

It is different from Jia Lian's "Tongzhi" official status, although that is also a false position, and it is still a dignified fifth-rank.But it was bought with money, and it is not the same as Jia Qing's bestowal.

"Hey, since you said you are from your own family, don't call me Mrs. Jia, for your identity! I don't like it either. If Brother Leng thinks about it, you can call me Brother Jia, or call me Second Lord." become."

Leng Zixing was secretly delighted when he heard this, thinking that the rumors were indeed true.Although the young master of the Ningguo Mansion became famous at a young age, he was not coddled and was extremely easy-going. He was a rare young hero.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xiao Jia, for your love. Since that's the case, I will call you my second master. In the past, people said that the second master is a young hero, with a brilliant literary talent. He is an extraordinary person. When I see you today, I will know that the rumors are true. Second master Grandpa is really a man of generosity."

Jia Qing just smiled, he had heard this kind of talk a lot in the past few years, so naturally he wouldn't have any special reaction.

Leng Zixing is a person who can read people's faces. Seeing this, he knew that what he said did not attract Jia Qing's attention. He was about to start another topic to avoid being cold, but Jia Qing suddenly said:

"I heard that brother Leng is in the antique business?"

Leng Zixing was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "How does the second master know?" Then he realized that he was a little disrespectful, and immediately wanted to explain.

Jia Qing smiled nonchalantly, and said: "In the mansion, I overheard Elder Sister Zhou mentioning that he has a son-in-law who deals in antiques, and that he is very filial to her."

Leng Zixing blushed.I thought to myself: Although I am still respectful to my old mother-in-law, it is not to the point where she preaches it everywhere, right?But in the future, I will have to spend more time trying to please her old man. Maybe the Second Lord Qing in front of me may have a slight liking for me because he heard about me from her old man. This is really a surprise!

"Mother-in-law, Miao praised... The little one really opened an antique shop in Beijing."

Jia Qing casually asked: "Is the business easy to do?"

Leng Zixing didn't know what Jia Qing meant by asking these questions, but he still said: "It's not easy to do, originally I also came to Beijing to do it because there are many noble people in Beijing and there are also many people who love antiques.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, he didn't earn much money.Fortunately, the small one still has two small shops in the south of the Yangtze River, and I can barely make a living.The small one is ready to slowly transfer the business to the south. "

Jia Qing knew that the situation was not as bad as he said, it was just a businessman's tone of voice, he didn't mind, and said, "What's the reason?"

Speaking of business matters, Leng Zixing gradually lost his previous carelessness, and spoke naturally and calmly: "I'm dissatisfied with the second master, this business in Beijing, if there is no strong backer, there is no way to do business. It will continue. So we businessmen often have to spend a lot of money to open up the relevant joints in Beijing...

This is one more point, and more importantly, most of the jewelry and antique business in Beijing is controlled by the current Empress Dowager's natal nephew, Boss Huang of Jubaolou. It is not easy for others to profit from it. "

Jia Qing smiled slightly. The antique business is a violent business, but it is easy to attract people's attention. If Leng Zixing hadn't got some connection with the Jia family, he probably wouldn't dare to do it.

"Oh, that's right. Originally, I still wanted to cooperate with Brother Leng. If that's the case, forget it..."

Hearing this, Leng Zixing's eyes brightened: "Cooperation, how to cooperate?"

It would be a great thing if he could get on line with Jia Qing.Isn't that why he stepped forward to make friends today?

"I have some spare cash in my hand. I happened to meet Brother Leng today. I originally wanted to cooperate with Brother Leng to do something, but Brother Leng actually thought about it in this way. It's worth not mentioning it."

Jia Qing said.Three years later, Shen Congcheng's soap business has also stabilized. Although the soap making method is inevitably leaked out, the soap business in the capital is still dominated by the Shen family.

Those who follow suit are either selling at a low price, or traveling to other places to expand their business channels.

Shen Congcheng was not greedy. According to the original plan, except for the capital city, he only opened a few soap shops in several important towns in the south of the Yangtze River, selling high-end and expensive soaps without exception.

Nowadays, soap is almost popular in Dachu.

Jia Qing did not participate in the affairs, but still invested a sum of money in the operation of Shen Congcheng's expansion outside the agreement.Jia Qing knows that favors are meant to be exchanged between you and me, and they accumulate more and more.Now the tacit understanding between him and Shen Congcheng is getting deeper and deeper.

But just like this, the annual [-]% bonus is tens of thousands of taels of silver.He has no other major expenses, and he has no time to move the money.

Leng Zixing understood what Jia Qing meant.Although there is no such thing as investment these days, the concept has long existed.You contribute money, I contribute, and everyone earns money...

However, if one cooperates with a person whose status is too different, one will either be reduced to a vassal, or the property will be completely taken over. Since ancient times, there have been too many examples.

Jia Qing didn't urge him, and let Leng Zixing think about it.

Leng Zixing looked at the expression on the slightly immature Jia Qing's face, feeling a little unfathomable.Being able to get in touch with Jia Qing was something he wished for.But what if he has bad intentions?
Undecided for a while, Leng Zixing asked tentatively: "May I ask how much the second master wants to invest?"
