When Jiang Kun came back, Ye Tan was already asleep, but he felt that he couldn't sleep. Everything happened like a dream.

It's like being about to die, only to find out that you can live for a hundred years.

"Go and call Mr. Yan to discuss the matter." Jiang Kun didn't even eat anymore and planned to have a good chat with Mr. Yan.

The drizzle in late autumn is like needles, turning the warmth of spring and summer and the entanglement after the season into an inner coldness. Many flowers and trees in the yard are a little wilted at this time, but these can't stop it.

The footsteps and enthusiasm of old age.

He directly pushed open the door of the living room and came to Jiang Kun for no reason, with a look of great joy on his face.

"What makes you so happy? Did you pick up money while walking?" Jiang Kun asked jokingly, but it could be seen from his expression that he was really happy.

"Patriarch, Patriarch, I've made a fortune this time." Yanlao sat there on his knees, took a sip of herbal tea, didn't feel anything, touched his mouth and said, "This time, I contacted some old friends from the past, and talked with them

They said that we planned to purchase their coal powder, but they were so happy that they directly said that there is no need to purchase it, just let us buy it. If this can be kept a secret, then no one will be afraid of us.

.”

"Really?" Jiang Kun's eyes widened. It was always his own initiative to keep this Yan Lao, but he didn't expect such a big surprise.

"And that's not all." Yanlao pretended to be calm, and wanted to continue to taste the tea, but finally found that there was no more tea, so he could only put it down with a little embarrassment.

"Okay, Mr. Yan, what are you pretending to be in front of me?" Jiang Kun scolded with a smile, while pouring him a glass of water. He didn't have such good tea as Ye Tan.

"If we can do this business, we can make a profit of 100,000 guan within three years." Yan Lao's words made Jiang Kun spit out the water from his mouth. 100,000 guan? This number is amazing.

It's not cash, it's not those fixed assets, those so-called big families, if it's assets, it's definitely a lot, but it doesn't include spare money, but land and ancestral property.

"Really or not, how could it be like this?" Jiang Kun asked puzzledly.

"I didn't believe it would be like this at first, but after you went to the Governor's Mansion, I had a few words with the young master. He said that doing business is not a one-time thing, but should be done step by step. He also said

Give me an example that I don’t know. I didn’t understand what it meant at first, but later I found out that it’s the same truth.” When Yanlao thought of Ye Tan, he couldn’t help but worship him. This man really

That's awesome.

"What example? This inspires you?" Jiang Kun couldn't help but ask. In this era, even a rare word can make you look up to others. Such stories are generally inspiring, and naturally so.

of.

"Well." Yan Lao thought this story was so good that he couldn't help but want to keep it for himself.

Seeing that he was still trying to figure it out, Jiang Kun said dissatisfiedly, "Lao Yan, you don't have a son, but I do have a son. What are you going to do if you don't tell me?"

Yan Lao's face wrinkled, it was true, so he started talking.

"Let me ask the head of the family first, if you are an imperial chef, after you retire and return to your hometown, how can you ensure that future generations can have enough food and clothing?" Yan Lao asked directly.

"This?" Jiang Kun encountered such a problem for the first time, but after thinking about it carefully several times, he said, "This is an imperial chef, so his skills must be very good, although people nowadays don't value cooks very much.

, but after all, he is a great cook, so he wants to open a restaurant? By the way, he just opens a restaurant, this is the best way."

Yan Lao looked at Jiang Kun and said, "Master, are you sure?"

Looking at his expression, he knew that what he said was wrong. Jiang Kun continued, "Is it possible to pass on his skills to others? This is a way. If you have skills, you will never die of hunger."

"No." Yan Lao looked at his expression and continued to deny.

"What on earth is that?" Jiang Kun lost his patience. People always do this to familiar people around him, so he just let Yan Lao speak.

"Well, this really inspired me a lot." Yan Lao took another sip of water, and then said, "We need to thank that young man for this matter. He told me that there are many problems such as coal mining and steel making.

For our business, we can just do some high-end ones, and don’t think about other things. Otherwise, the Changsun family will have to squeeze us to death. I didn’t care at first, but after listening to what he said, I understood that it was very important.

It's possible. But if we only make some high-end products, it won't make people jealous. At the same time, we should also make some low-end things, such as stoves. These things are not looked down upon by the parents and grandchildren. This is the level.

There are both, but it must not account for the ordnance aspect."

"Why?" Jiang Kun couldn't help but ask. Since ancient times, who doesn't know that the most profitable thing is ordnance.

"First of all, if you take possession of ordnance, you will get involved with the court, and then all kinds of messy things will happen. Secondly, since ancient times, weapons have been sharp weapons, killing weapons, and taboos for the court, so we can't get involved.

But we can serve the people. Because of excessive decentralization, we will not win over people's hearts, and the government in every place will look favorably on us. Although we are not officials, our status will not be very low." Along the old line.

The second paragraph is still related to what I said at the beginning, it has nothing to do with it.

"I asked you to tell an allusion. Why are you talking about this? Who doesn't want to be an official?" Jiang Kun didn't want to hear this because he couldn't hear it.

"After listening to what that young master said, I really don't want to be an official anymore." Yan Lao smiled and continued without caring, "The royal chef used a readily available material to make a kind of delicious food.

The biggest advantage of the food is that it lasts a long time and the ingredients are simple, but the secret recipe is magical. Relying on this recipe, the descendants of this imperial chef have been living well."

"Really?" Jiang Kun didn't quite believe it. Is it so magical?

"It's true. The young master said it and he knew it. So, I suspected that he was the descendant of the imperial chef. But he said that he was not. He just knew the descendants of the imperial chef. Although they have not been officials in these years, they have

Because humans and animals are harmless, the family has always been prosperous." Yan Lao said unhurriedly.

"It seems that this young master is not simple." Jiang Kun said with a frown, then combined the previous things together, thought for a while and took a breath of cold air and said, "He wants us to do the same?"

Yanlao nodded and said, "Yes, even if we do business all over the world, we will not be hated by others. Instead, we will receive countless praises and cares."

"If you don't become an official, don't cling to others, you can still have enough food and clothing for generations. It's really the right path." Jiang Kun stood up, pushed open the window, let the cold rain pour on his head, took a deep breath of air-conditioning, and saw
