When encountering such changes, you can still cheer up... Although the home is dilapidated, only the spirit of the people is still there, and the home can be called home.
To some extent, Huang Xiang is also a completely optimistic person.
"Haha, what is in the past is in the past."
Huang Xiang waved his hand, indicating that he had put it down a long time ago, but Yi Xiaotian keenly noticed that when he said this, Huang Xiang's hand was clenched tightly——
"My story is just that. It may be a bit disappointing, but at least it's not like what the outside world says... I, the Emperor Xiangxing, sit upright, how could I do those things that violate etiquette?"
"But now that Beichen is guarding me, those who heard rumors don't dare to do anything to me."
When he said this, Huang Xiang looked at the door with some relief.
Xu Beichen was still leaning on the door frame, looking out of shape from beginning to end, but Huang Xiang said so, and what Yi Xiaotian had seen with his own eyes before, he was willing to believe that even if this Xu Beichen was not someone
He is a competent servant, but if he wants to protect the royal elephant, he should be the best choice.
"Well...that's fine."
"Speaking of which, now that Xiu Ming has fully revealed his past, I shouldn't hide anything anymore."
When the conversation changed, Yi Xiaotian took a sip of tea and straightened his body, which made Huang Xiang a little nervous.
——Is it finally time for the other party to reveal his intention?
Huang Xiang muttered in his heart, which actually made no sense. The main reason was that he was really worried about encountering the same unkind situation as before, but no matter how he looked at it, the person in the exhibition hall opposite looked like a gentleman.
As expected, Huang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief after the other party spoke - as a businessman, such a request is not surprising at all:
"Xiu Ming, you know, I am a businessman. Not only that, I am a new arrival and now have the status of an outsider. When I came to Jiangdong, I naturally wanted to make a fortune, but now I have no way."
Yi Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and said it quite sincerely. There was no adulteration in this sentence. Before he came to Huangxiang, he had actually inquired about many businesses in Jiangdong - in the end, no matter what kind of business it was,
, this group of Jiangdong businessmen, when they heard that he was from another place, they all turned their heads faster than turning over a book.
In this era, most of the people in Jiangdong were very xenophobic, mainly because the image of wars and wars in the Jingyi area or the northern states was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Over time, the people of Jiangdong felt that except for their locals, people from other places
They are all rude and unreasonable people.
Once a concept is deeply rooted in people's hearts, it is difficult to change - just like before, it was clear that the Shanyue people were just forced by the pressure of survival and led an army to revolt. As a result, they were wiped out by the Sun family. After they were given the title of bandits, people
The Shanyue people were demonized.
As everyone knows, according to Jiangdong's living standards, an ordinary citizen's life would be much better than that of the Shanyue people in the mountains.
Of course, Yi Xiaotian does not expect to break this concept.
So what he needs is a "doorway".
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, an era of rampant clan politics, "relationships" were even more useful than money.
"I see... So, Zhantang, do you want me to introduce some buyers to you? Or..."
"By the way, let me ask you a question...Zhantang, what kind of business are you in? If it's salt and iron...I'm afraid I, an old and sour scholar, can't help..."
Huang Xiang has a very clear understanding of himself. Most of his acquaintances, or relationships, are maintained through his copybooks.
The dignitaries took a fancy to his calligraphy. Although this thing came from a poor old Confucian scholar, it couldn't stand up to the elegance of calligraphy and painting - who in the family of a wealthy person does not have one or two famous paintings with his name? This is status.
symbol of.
But... apart from these, if Huang Xiang wants to talk to people about other things, others will just start to prevaricate - to put it bluntly, in the eyes of many dignitaries, Huang Xiang is a person who can continuously bring them fame and social significance.
Just a high-end tool guy.
"what kind of business?"
Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and pointed at the top-quality inkstone he carried in Huang Xiang's arms like a treasure.
Huang Xiang probably didn't react at first. When he saw Yi Xiaotian's movements, he started groping from his body——
After a while, Huang Xiang trembled all over and asked in disbelief:
"Inkstone...business?"
This time Yi Xiaotian nodded and expressed his affirmation.
Huang Xiang was so surprised by this change that he swallowed his saliva for a moment...I don't know whether he was greedy or frightened.
always…
"Okay, okay...that's great! Since you are in the ink stone business, I will definitely help you with this!"
——
Yi Xiaotian went through such a big circle. In fact, he had already investigated Huang Xiang's profile from the very beginning before he met Huang Xiang.
Knowing that there is only one calligrapher like Huang Xiang in Kuaiji who can be called a master-level calligrapher, what is left for Yi Xiaotian to do is just like before - wait and see.
That's why Yi Xiaotian said before that he was waiting for someone.
What he was waiting for was the royal elephant.
The most direct purpose, of course, as he said, is to do business, and to do business with this extremely rare inkstone.
He has looked for those so-called aristocratic families, but as soon as he mentions that he is in the ink stone business, people will only think of Yi Xiaotian as a charlatan who plays monkey tricks.
"In all my life, I have never heard of anyone making money in the inkstone business. Whether you can come up with a good inkstone is a question, right?"
In the end, most negotiations end in breakdown.
The appearance of Huang Xiang is actually the best springboard for Yi Xiaotian.
And... after such a close exchange, Yi Xiaotian felt that Huang Xiang had a bad intention.
This person didn't say anything, but he was holding back his breath in his heart.
Not to mention taking advantage, since the other party is willing to help me, I will not treat others badly.
Therefore - another level of purpose was naturally implemented - Fei Zhan, Peng Hu and others may not have thought that Yi Xiaotian had already helped them find good people after leaving for less than ten days.
became the instructor.
But - how to make the royal elephant accept this requires more preparation.
For example now...
Huang Xiang agreed to help Yi Xiaotian find a way to open up the ink stone business market... After discussing for a while, the two hit it off and settled on a relatively stable plan.
With Yi Xiaotian's investment and Huang Xiang's calligraphy, a calligraphy exhibition was held soon after which all parties were invited - it was said to be a calligraphy exhibition, but in fact it was just a business meeting for public calligraphy auctions.
But this is only the purpose of the first level. In the end, Huang Xiang will use this calligraphy exhibition to help Yi Xiaotian promote the oldest "She Inkstone" he brought from Linli Mountain to those dignitaries, helping Yi Xiaotian in one fell swoop.
Yi Xiaotian opens up the inkstone business market.
