Chapter 144: Entering the Antique Business
Zuixiao Tower is one of the largest restaurants in the west city of Shenjing. Most of the wealthy businessmen and nobles come and go to and invite friends in this building.
At a table next to the window on the second floor, Jia Qing and Wu Xian'er sat together for a drink. Don't think that Wu Xian'er can't drink if she is a woman. If she really wants to drink, even Jia Qing can't beat her.
There was a table next to it, Wang Shun and Zhang Chang and the other two also formed a table, adding a few small wine and side dishes to eat.
"The wine and food in Zuixianlou are better than other families, let alone the canteen in the Imperial College!"
Although the Imperial College does not prohibit the prison students from going out, they are located in a remote place and there are no good restaurants around them, so Jia Qing hasn't come out for a while to eat and drink.
Wu Xian'er was no longer cold to Jia Qingbing like before. He heard this and said, "I think it's fake for you to treat me to a meal, but it's true if you're greedy!"
Jia Qing smiled and said, "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 national face, a small beard and smiling face standing in front of him.
"Who are you?"
The man said humbly: "The young Leng Zixing is the son-in-law of Mr. Shangzheng, the wife of Mr. Zun Mansion, who accompanied Fang Zhou Rui. When he went to the mansion to pay homage, he happened to meet Mr. Jia once, but he didn't dare to disturb him rashly. Today, he happened to meet Mr. Jia in this Zuixian Tower. He was very happy. Please forgive me if you disturb me."
Jia Qing didn't understand the subsequent series of explanations. He did know the word Leng Zixing. Isn't this the person who spoke to Jia Yucun in a small tavern in Yangzhou?
Even Jia Yucun praised this person as a capable person, and he also had a very thorough understanding of the Jia family, and was a talent!
Jia Qing attached great importance to talents.
"Since I'm my own family, I'll talk about whether to disturb me or not. Sit down and talk!"
Leng Zixing didn't expect Jia Qing to be so easy to talk to. Hearing this, he did not sit down directly, but looked at Wu Xian'er beside Jia Qing.
What a handsome young man!
Seeing this, Jia Qing said, "This is my book boy, so it's okay. Brother Leng, please sit down."
It’s not that Jia Qing is a big man, but that he is indeed of high generation. Leng Zixing strictly counts this, and it’s not too much for Jia Qing to call him a nephew. Because his mother-in-law calls him all the sisters.
Leng Zixing said, "Thank you, Lord Jia." He turned around and said, "I have met this little brother." After that, he sat opposite Jia Qing.
He was very well-informed and knew that Jia Qing was awarded the title of "Wen Linlang" a few years ago, and was a young prodigy with an official body. Otherwise, he would not have risked the risk of being in love and being cold ass to make friends.
Unlike Jia Lian's "Tongzhi" official position, although it is also a false position and is a dignified fifth-ranked person. However, it was bought with money, which is incomparable to Jia Qing's imperial gift.
"Hey, since I said I was my family, don't call me Lord Jia, I'm a little bitch! I don't like it either. If Brother Leng looks at me, just call me Brother Jia, or call me Second Master."
Leng Zixing was secretly happy after hearing this, and thought to himself that the rumors were indeed true. Although the young master of Ningguo Mansion became famous at a young age, he was not spoiled and treated people very easily. He was one of the rare young heroes.
"Thank you, Lord Jia, for your love. Since that's the case, I will call you to Master II. In the past, people said that the Second Master was a young master with a talented and talented literary talent. He was an amazing person. When I saw him today, I realized that the rumors were true. Master II was really a generous person."
Jia Qing just smiled. He had heard such words a lot in recent years, so he naturally would not have any special reactions.
Leng Zixing is a person who can see people's faces. Seeing this, he knew that what he said did not attract Jia Qing's attention. Just when he was about to start a new topic to avoid a cold incident, Jia Qing suddenly said:
"I heard that Brother Leng is in the antique business?"
Leng Zixing was stunned 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 unconsciously and said, "I accidentally heard Sister Zhou say that he had a son-in-law who works in the antique business, saying that she was very filial to her."
Leng Zixing's face turned red and thought to himself: Although he is still respectful to his mother-in-law, it is not as good as she is promoting it everywhere, right? But in the future, he will have to spend some time to please her. The second master of Qing in front of him might have heard of me from her, so he has a little favor with me. This is really a surprise!
"My mother-in-law, Miao Zan... The youngest did open an antique shop in Beijing."
Jia Qing asked casually: "Is the business easy to do?"
Leng Zixing didn't know what Jia Qing meant, but said, "It's not easy to do. Originally, I also liked many noble people in the Beijing area and loved antiques, so I came to Beijing area to do it.
Who knew that over the years, I didn’t make much money. Fortunately, the young man still had two small shops in Jiangnan and could barely make a living. The young man was already ready to slowly transfer his business to the south."
Jia Qing knew that the situation should not be as bad as he said. This was just a tone of speaking from a businessman. He didn't mind and said, "What's the reason?"
Speaking of business matters, Leng Zixing gradually lost his predecessor and said naturally and calmly: "Don't be satisfied with the Second Master, if you do business in Beijing, if you don't have a tough backstage, you will not be able to continue your business. Therefore, we businessmen often have to spend a lot of money to open up the relevant links in Beijing...
This is still one thing. More importantly, most of the jewelry and antiques business in Beijing is controlled by the current queen mother's nephew, the boss Huang of Jubaolou. It is not easy for others to make profits from it."
Jia Qing smiled slightly. The antique business is a violent business, but it is easy to attract people to worry about. If Leng Zixing hadn't had some connection with the Jia family, he would probably not dare to do it.
"Oh, that's it. I originally wanted to cooperate with Brother Leng. Since that's the case, then forget it..."
Leng Zixing's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Cooperate, how to cooperate?"
If he could get online with Jia Qing, that would be a great thing. Isn’t he just coming forward to have a relationship today for this?
"I have some spare money in my hand. I happened to meet Brother Leng today. I originally wanted to work with Brother Leng to do something, but I didn't know that Brother Leng was thinking so, so it would be fine if I didn't mention it."
Jia Qingdao. After three years, Shen Congcheng's soap business has also stabilized. Although the soap preparation method is inevitably leaked, the soap business in Beijing is still the only one in the Shen family.
Those who follow the trend either sell at a cheap price or go to other places to expand their business paths.
Shen Congcheng was not greedy. According to the first plan, except for the capital, he only opened a few soap shops in several important towns in Jiangnan. None of them sold all high-end and expensive soaps.
Nowadays, soap is almost popular in Dachu.
Jia Qing was not involved in the affairs, but he still invested a sum of money outside the agreement to expand Shen Congcheng's expansion path. Jia Qing knew that human relationships were about to come and go, and the accumulation was getting stronger and stronger. Now the tacit understanding between him and Shen Congcheng is getting deeper and deeper.
But just like that, the annual dividend of 40% is also tens of thousands of taels of silver. He has no other major expenses and has no time to deal with the money.
Leng Zixing understood what Jia Qing meant. Although there is no such thing as investing these days, this concept has been established long ago. If you pay, I will work hard. If you have money, you will make money...
However, when working with people with too much identity gap, they either become vassals or their industries are completely occupied. Since ancient times, there have been too many examples.
Jia Qing didn't urge him and let Leng Zixing consider it.
Leng Zixing looked at the expression on Jia Qing's face, and felt a little unfathomable. Being able to get in touch with Jia Qing was something he could not ask for. But what if he had bad intentions?
