Feng Zhou clearly felt that the way these men and women looked at him changed instantly. The attitudes of the young men and women from various families who had been so diligent in recruiting Feng Zhou immediately became awe-inspiring. Zhang Yunfeng even had a look of fear on his face, his face was pale, and he almost lost his waist.
The pole bent down.
There is no way around it, this great master with no sect or sect in front of him is actually the richest man in Jinling, Feng Zhoufeng, a high-ranking official.
The person who was granted a high official title was not only the richest man in Jinling, but also enjoyed a great reputation in the Jiangnan area. Various legends were circulated in the market, in the rivers and lakes, or in the conversations of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Legend has it that the only three gongs and three orphans in the Ming Dynasty, Lu Binglu Wenming, who had been in charge of Jinyiwei for fifteen years, all respected the relationship between Fengzhou and Fengzhou. He would visit Jinling every time he passed by.
Happy birthday by boat.
Such a big shot is simply not something that the younger members of their aristocratic families can associate with. As for asking others to make offerings, that would simply make everyone laugh. If this matter were to spread, I'm afraid everyone would ridicule Zhang Yunfeng for being blind and ignorant.
Know Mount Tai.
But it’s no wonder that Feng Zhou’s name has been circulating in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. No one thought that the man in front of him, who has unfathomable martial arts skills and is only about thirty years old, is actually the richest man in Jinling. It is really shocking.
.
This change in their attitudes made Feng Zhou frown slightly, and he no longer saw this group of people.
Since they were so reserved, Feng Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to them. He was just saving people based on his own interests, and there was nothing like the Han family of the Haining family in his eyes.
Since they were so reserved, Feng Zhou said hello, turned around and left.
Seeing him disappear out of everyone's sight in an instant, everyone's shock slowly came back.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that we would dare to meet the official Feng Daguan!"
"Yes! The reputation of being a high official has been spread for so long. I didn't expect that his martial arts skills are so high and he is still so young."
"A man named a high-ranking official killed so many Japanese pirates at once. No wonder he could start from scratch and earn such a big fortune."
"A great master of martial arts, isn't it easy to accumulate money?"
"yes!"
"That's what a man should do!"
They talked about it for a long time.
…
But he said that Feng Zhou returned to the carriage and went straight to Jiaxing.
When he went to Jiaxing, there was naturally a big business that he wanted to handle.
In fact, this business was negotiated by the shopkeeper in Jiaxing. This was because the amount involved was extremely huge, so he, the big boss, had to be in charge personally.
Although Boss Feng only made a simple carriage, and there was no cheering team, his carriage was pulled by four good horses that could travel more than 150 miles per hour, and he
The groom is one of our own, but he has been trained by the fast carriage hall. He has to change horses every eight hundred miles.
So he quickly came to Jiaxing City.
Jiaxing was already a famous big city in the Spring and Autumn Period. Once you enter the city, the roads are wide and pedestrians are busy coming and going, making it very prosperous.
After he arrived at his own shop, the shopkeeper quickly received him attentively and quickly contacted the other merchant.
With him as the big boss in charge, the business negotiations went smoothly, and soon the two parties signed a contract, followed by a banquet.
After the banquet was over, the shopkeeper came over again and said respectfully:
"My boss, the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce has organized a flower viewing party. Do you want to participate?"
"Oh? This..."
Feng Zhou hesitated.
With his wealth and status, he was the guarding eunuch of Jinling City, and he didn't have much interest in gatherings organized by distinguished disciples.
The flower viewing party is nominally for appreciating precious flowers, but in fact it is a place for the families behind major businesses to communicate and chat.
In his memory, those who came and went were all top nobles such as Wei Guogong and Lu Bing, as well as other top wealthy businessmen. The focus was on the top of the big names. Feng Zhou was really unmotivated when he was asked to deal with the juniors in Jiaxing. But the shopkeeper
Since he was so enthusiastic, Feng Zhou couldn't refuse directly.
The shopkeeper said: "Don't worry, boss, the people attending this flower viewing party are basically the core children of the major merchants in Jiaxing. All the boss has to do is come forward and show his face. With you as a deterrent, many families' transactions will be carried out.
Negotiations will be much smoother.”
In this case, Feng Zhou could only smile and nod in agreement.
After all, he is not an immortal who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and he also wants to experience the scene of drinking and drinking with ordinary businessmen.
Anyway, it is just for him to show his face, and there is no need for him to communicate and negotiate in person.
…
The gathering was held at Green Willow Villa on the outskirts of Jiaxing.
It is said to be a gathering of businessmen, but even the shopkeepers of the Feng family business pay such attention to it, so it is certainly not trivial. In fact, they are basically the core figures of the third generation of the major families in Jiaxing, and some have even begun to take over the family business. There are connections behind everyone
It's complicated, and many of them are related to the nobles of the capital, the officials, the feudal officials and so on.
Although the shopkeeper of the Feng family firm has enough wealth, his status is not.
Because it involves collisions, transactions, etc. between each family, Feng Zhou also knows that unless he has extraordinary power like Feng Zhou, no family can dominate alone, so they must compromise in the end. The key is to obtain
It’s just the size of the benefit.
Even if a certain family contacts the chief minister of the cabinet or the eunuch in charge of rituals behind the scenes, they dare not say that they can stabilize the others. After all, these officials and eunuchs cannot continue to work for a long time. After ten or twenty years, the high officials behind them will
Either they retire or the battle fails. If these families have no successors, they may decline.
"Not to mention anything else, Mr. Xu Ge is retiring soon. It is said that he does not even dare to return to his hometown. Once he retires and leaves, who will sell the Xu family's face? We are the only ones with the Feng family business. As long as the owner can survive,
Otherwise, we will prosper and decline for a long time, which is why several other families are afraid of us." The shopkeeper explained.
Feng Zhou nodded.
Whether it is the Xu family or other Song families, the Li family or any other family, they all rely on power or wealth. When the power is gone and the wealth fades, they will naturally decline. This is different from Shaolin, Wudang and other martial arts sects. Those families,
As long as generations of masters emerge in large numbers, dignitaries will extend an olive branch to them and they will remain standing. Unless in some year, cold weapons fade away and hot weapons rise, and martial arts masters become easy to kill, these sects will become showy.
furnishings.
…
At this time, celebrities had gathered in Green Willow Villa, and it was like rain.
There are four major families in Jiaxing, the Xu family, the Chen family, the Li family, and the Song family. These four families have basically divided up most of the shares, and other small and medium-sized families can only pick up scraps from the side.
But this year is different. The Jinling Feng family has established a business here.
Although he was just an outsider, he couldn't resist the fact that there was a peerless master in charge. The ordinary martial arts sects had been greeted before. Instead of rushing in to cause trouble, he respectfully took a bite of this fat piece of meat, which made other sects
Nothing can be done.
"I heard that the big boss of the Feng family is also going to attend this flower viewing party."
In the garden and courtyard, everyone was divided into small circles in twos and threes. All the handsome men, the rich and the young, all wore brocade clothes and robes, admiring the flowers and the moon, and talking quietly to each other.
Among them was a young man with a pale face and no beard, laughing in a low voice.
"I've heard for a long time that the man with the title of Grand Official is the richest man in Jinling, and the people who associate with him are all big shots. If he condescends to come here, that would be terrible!"
Said a man in white with a beard on his lips and cheeks.
