The banquet was very exquisite. The Yang Shixiang family came from a prosperous place in Guangdong, and their experience in enjoying food was much higher than that of the local gentry and wealthy people. Recently, they have become much richer, and their enjoyment has also increased. There are not many dishes on the banquet table.
The wine is very exquisite, and the wine is Lanling wine specially bought from the mainland - this is a high-end wine often drunk by the rich in the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Shixiang asked the apprentice who was serving him to hot the wine and then sent him out. Only he and Liu San were left in the study - he had something urgent to talk to Liu San.
Since Yang Shixiang formed a sworn partnership with Liu San, his business has grown bigger and bigger, making money every day. Because of this, he has paid more and more attention to the internal trends of the Cross Group. Australians are not only his investors, major customers and technology
Guidance is essentially his backer. The rise and fall of Australians also determines the prospects of Runshitang to some extent.
Liu San often comes to Runshitang because of matters related to the manufacturing and sales of Chinese patent medicines, but he rarely has the opportunity to sit down and chat casually to inquire about news.
Yang Shixiang was eager to know the details of the "Maid Revolution". This matter was not as secretive and airtight as the time-travelers imagined. In fact, within a few days, rumors came out that the Australians were rioting among themselves over women.
.Some people even said that the commotion was caused by the fact that each of the leaders had dozens of wives, while the people below had none. Others said that Australians did not lack women but because everyone was fighting for one.
A woman who looks like a fairy gets into trouble because of jealousy.
Yang Shixiang was very surprised by the news, because he did not expect that Australians would be without women! One or two boats of refugees would arrive at Bopu Port every ten days and a half, and there were many women among them. There were only a thousand Australians at best, one for each person.
You can always get it.
His sworn brother Liu San has a wife. He even gave Wu Yunhua a special gift at the beginning. He was shocked by the strength and momentum of the Australian woman. He had a vague feeling that this sworn brother was probably
A bit henpecked.
After three rounds of drinking, Yang Shixiang finally asked about this matter in a vague way.
Liu Sanyi was startled. This matter had actually spread to the county town. It’s true that good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away. He nodded lightly:
"true."
"What's the result?" Yang Shixiang asked quickly.
"Everyone is happy." Liu San didn't look happy at all when he said this, leaving Yang Shixiang confused.
"Looking at my brother, he doesn't look happy."
After Liu San drank a few glasses of wine, she couldn't help but express her complaints about her girlfriend. Any man can understand such complaints.
"It turns out that you are not allowed to take concubines." Yang Shixiang looked at his sworn brother-in-law and thought that this was nothing. He said, "What's so difficult about this? Since you are not allowed to take concubines back home, why not buy a house outside?
That’s it.”
Liu Sanyi was stunned. She didn't expect him to make such a suggestion. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head:
"No, it's not allowed to buy a house outside Bairen City right now. Besides-"
Besides, if his wife found out about such a daring act, he would not immediately knock on her door and cause uproar in the city. Thinking of this, he felt that it was completely unfeasible.
Of course, there is no organization like the Women's Federation here to support Wu Yunhua. Not only are there few women in the time travel, but there is not much unity and harmony among them. If there is a real trouble, no one except Du Wen will help Wu Yunhua.
Hua Liu San discovered that in terms of sexual relations, he could actually do whatever he wanted.
But if this really happened, the relationship between the two of them over the years would be completely destroyed, and Liu San couldn't bear it.
"Forget it, let me take my time to figure it out." He said listlessly.
Yang Shixiang had already had an idea: If Liu San really had this idea, his wife's relatives in Zhangzhou had recently crossed the sea to join him. There were several girls of the right age in the family, so it would not be difficult for one of them to come over and be Liu San's concubine.
Liu San was unwilling, and Yang Shixiang didn't mention it further. He was eager to know: Have any Australians been fatally affected by this commotion?
You must know that there are many rumors outside. Some say that the Australians are fighting among themselves, and corpses are everywhere in Bairen City. Some say that the Australian leader held a Hongmen Banquet, deceived the troublemakers, and then threw cups as a sign and set fire to the two compartments.
Guns killed hundreds of people at once; some of the main leaders have all been killed, and now another group of people is in power...
There is a rumor that is particularly close to the truth: the Dongmen official who was in charge of Dongmen City made a rebellion against the leader and tried to rush into Bairen City with his men. Both sides fired guns at each other at the city gate. The Dongmen official was outnumbered.
They were all beaten to death. Some people vividly said that gunfire rang out in Bairen City all night long...
The natives were not very familiar with Dugu's proposal, so Zhang Guanli put it on Dongmen Chuiyu's head, and Dongmen Chuiyu disappeared from Dongmen City after being transferred, which added credibility to this rumor.
When Liu San heard that the rumors outside were so powerful, he frowned - what does the General Administration of Political Security do for a living? Aren't these rumors seriously affecting Wei Guangzheng's image of the Chuanchuan Group?
He had to spend a lot of effort to explain to Yang Shixiang: These are all rumors. As for parades and the like, this kind of thing is nothing. Not only has the power of the Cross-Travel Group not been damaged, but it will continue to grow after experiencing this storm.
More powerful.
For this reason, he had to explain the electoral system and the basic political system of the crossing group, so that his sworn brother would not understand.
After some explanations, Yang Shixiang felt at ease - he was not interested in the political system, but he knew from Liu San's words that this was just a "civil fight" and there was no big fight that would damage his vitality. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
said laughingly:
"That's because I was worrying too much. As long as it didn't hurt my vitality."
Liu San mentioned to him the plan to develop new medicines again. He planned to develop and manufacture two summer medicines, namely Ten Dishui and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, and also try to manufacture Fengyoujing. They were all urgently needed medicines in Yulin.
Yang Shixiang was convinced of every new drug Liu San proposed to trial. Now the business of proprietary Chinese medicines is so good that he has to consider moving the pharmaceutical factory from the city to the "Private Enterprise Park" outside Bairen City. Runshi
The church's workshop is already extremely busy.
"Of course that's good." Liu Sanxiang originally had this plan. In the past, he kept the factory in Runshitang just for convenience. Now that you want to propose it yourself, that's the best thing.
"Now that I have some money in my hand, my brother wants to build a big workshop like yours in Australia! Let's do a great job." Yang Shixiang was extremely impressed by the Australian factories. After a few glasses of wine, he became a little excited.
Well, he has been in a very happy mood recently: his cousin Yang Shiyi's attitude has changed greatly. Not only does he often write letters and give gifts, he is also much more polite in his words - even to Liu Benshan, the old steward he sent to Foshan to take care of the business.
He was also very polite. He also told me many times that he no longer had to use cash to purchase goods, and the credit limit could be increased. Yang Shixiang, who had been looked down upon by his relatives for many years, felt very proud.
The impression that great things can be achieved by cooperating with Australians has been deeply left in his mind. Now that he heard that the Australians are still intact and still have time to stay in Lingao, they can still have some fun with this sworn brother.
great cause.
"Brother Yu wants to install your kind of machines in the factory," Yang Shixiang said. "Brother Yu went to the mill last time and saw your water mill. It was really fast and good. Everyone said that you Australians are the most ingenious. You can do about
There’s also a machine for medicine, right?”
"Machines are indeed useful." Liu San nodded. He had long wanted to open a pharmaceutical factory that uses machine-assisted processing instead of manual operations like now. Now Runshitang employs more than 20 pharmaceutical workers, and
There are more than a dozen casual workers and apprentices. If machinery is used to assist production, the number of personnel can be reduced by two-thirds. The saved labor can be used to expand reproduction.
Old pharmacists have been exposed to medicinal materials for a long time and are familiar with medicinal properties and pharmacology. It is obviously a waste for such talents to continue to do such simple manual labor.
"I don't know which machines are needed?" Yang Shirun is very interested in machine production, but he has no idea what kind of machinery is needed to process medicinal materials.
"There are many machines, and there are various types." Liu San thought that he would have to apply for it himself. Equipment for manufacturing drugs should be given priority in manufacturing. However, Runshitang is a joint venture, so I don't know what the price will be like.
Approval? I have to make a foreshadowing first:
“The price may not be cheap.”
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as it's useful - if you make money and leave it in vain, you won't get any small money!" Yang Shixiang had money in his hands, but he couldn't help but sound like a playboy when he spoke.
"Brother has such a wish, I will do it when I get back." Liu San was very excited. This is a typical example of cooperation between indigenous capitalists and the Cross-Training Group. The people on the executive committee will definitely provide some policies for future publicity.
If you use it, maybe you will become a "model".
If you become a positive example, everything will be easier to handle.
In fact, whether Runshitang can become a "typical" essentially has nothing to do with Liu San - Liu San is a nominal shareholder, and the real shareholder is the Cross Travel Group itself. But he still hopes that Runshitang can do better and better.
Get bigger and get stronger. Become a pharmaceutical giant in the new world.
The friendship between Liu San and Yang Shixiang was just for the purpose of strengthening cooperation. However, for more than half a year, Liu San and Yang Shixiang have been discussing pharmacology, exchanging medical skills, and going out to purchase medicinal materials and run businesses together. The two have established a deep friendship.
. Moreover, his adopted brother's family cared for him very much and inquired about his welfare, just like a real family member. This made Liu San feel warm. Naturally, he was concerned about the interests of his adopted brother.
"Here's Brother Lao Xian." Yang Shixiang said excitedly, "I'll take care of Manager Liu and find some more workers from Foshan -"
Liu Benshan is now the manager of Runshitang in Foshan, taking charge of the affairs of Runshitang in Guangdong.
