"Little Xuan, come with me!"
The first batch of shares of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce had been oversubscribed. Li Zexuan was in a good mood. Of course, whether it was Li Chengqian's interference or Wang Renbiao's sudden involvement, they were all outside of his expectations! In the corridor outside the meeting room, Li Zexuan bumped into Li Gang. Just as he was about to greet him, he heard the old man say in a low voice.
"Oh! Good! "
Li Zexuan felt that the old man was in a bad mood. He was a little confused.
The two of them came to Li Gang's office. Li Gang closed the door and looked at Li Zexuan. "Little Xuan, you were the one who called those merchants over, right?"
Li Zexuan seemed to understand something. He paused and nodded. "Yes!"
Li Gang pointed at Li Zexuan and said bitterly, "You're stupid, stupid! I know that you gathered them to discuss something. I don't have any prejudice against merchants, but Yanhuang College is an important place for learning. How can you let this place be tainted with the stench of money? This is an insult to the saints, an insult to the educated people! "
Li Zexuan said disapprovingly, "Mr. Mister, you're wrong.
First of all, today is the school's holiday. I gathered all the merchants here to discuss the future development of Plum Village. There's nothing wrong with that. Secondly, I founded Yanhuang College mainly to be practical, not to pretend to be virtuous. What do you mean by the stench of money?
Mr. Mister, you're an enlightened person. Why are you associated with the commoners? If not for the stench of money that scholars talk about, how could Yanhuang College develop to such a scale in such a short time? How could Plum Village develop so quickly? "
Li Gang was so angry that his beard blew and his eyes widened. "You... Are you saying that I'm vulgar? Short-sighted? Pretending to be virtuous? "
Li Zexuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not! Sir, please don't misunderstand. I just want you to know that academics and money don't conflict in many cases. In fact, they even complement each other. For example, money can provide a good learning environment and promote the rapid development of academics. Academics can also promote technological innovation and earn more benefits ~! You also know that not all of the students trained by Yanhuang College will become officials in the future! "
Li Gang furrowed his brows and remained silent. He had taught and educated people all his life, and had written books to establish a theory. How could he be as sharp-tongued as Li Zexuan, who had lived two lives?
Seeing this, Li Zexuan cupped his hands towards Li Gang and said, "Sir, if there is nothing else, then I will take my leave ~!"
Then, seeing that Li Gang was still deep in thought, he left.
.....
"Big Brother, you're really fast, and you're really generous! I was still hesitating on whether to join, but you've already invested 30,000 strings of cash in it ~! "
In Dorm 001, Li Tai saw that everyone else had left and whispered to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Qingque, what's there to hesitate about? In Chang 'an City, in terms of earning money, if Xiaoxuan is ranked second, who dares to be ranked first? Whenever he needs help, it's our chance! Besides, this 30,000 strings of cash was earned for me by Xiaoxuan. Even if I lose everything, I have nothing to lose! Don't you think so ~? "
"Big Brother is wise ~!"
When Li Tai heard this, he gave a thumbs up and praised. Then, the little fatty chuckled and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Big Brother, I'm sure it will be difficult for you to take out so much money at once, right? It just so happens that I have some spare cash here, what do you think … "
Li Chengqian found it funny and said, "I knew you would say that, Qingque! Don't worry, you have a share. Not only you, but Changle also has a share. The three of us will each get 10,000 strings of cash! "
Li Tai was overjoyed and said, "Hehe! Thank you, Big Brother ~! "
.....
Azure Dragon District, Wang Family Residence.
"Young Master, Butler Gong is back. He has done what you asked him to do. We already have 100,000 strings of cash in the Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce ~!"
In the backyard, Leng Yuyao leisurely walked over to Wang Renbiao's side and bowed slightly as she spoke.
Wang Renbiao, who was sitting in the pavilion playing chess by himself, paused and said softly, "Mm, I got it!"
Leng Yuyao was speechless. 100,000 strings of cash was definitely not a drop in the bucket for the Wang Family. It was a considerable amount of wealth. But now, Wang Renbiao had given it away with just a few words, and all he got in return was those illusory shares and the unknown future of the Plum Village. She found it hard to understand what her Young Master was thinking. She also found it hard to understand why the elders and head of the family would agree to such a foolish transaction.
"Mm, Yao Er, what's wrong ~?"
After a long while, Wang Renbiao saw that Leng Yuyao was still standing beside him with a conflicted expression on her face. He couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, nothing ~!"
Leng Yuyao came back to her senses and quickly shook her head.
"Hehe, Yao Er must be wondering why I would use 100,000 strings of cash in this Flaming Yellow Chamber of Commerce?"
Wang Renbiao stared at Leng Yuyao for a long while, then shook his head and laughed.
"Young Master's every move must have a deeper meaning. Yuyao doesn't dare to make wild guesses ~!"
Leng Yuyao bowed.
Wang Renbiao smiled, then stood up and took the initiative to explain, "Hehe, actually, it's not for anything else. Just the golden signboard of Li Zexuan alone is worth a gamble. Otherwise, why would there be so many people rushing over to buy shares? Obviously, I'm not the only one who thinks highly of Li Zexuan! Besides, I'm also very optimistic about the future of Yanhuang College and the Plum Village. 100,000 strings of cash may be a lot, but the profits it will bring to the Wang Family in the future will also be considerable ~! "
Leng Yuyao nodded thoughtfully, but didn't reply.
Wang Renbiao suddenly asked, "Yao Er, have the people that Third Uncle sent out to the sea to gather information returned ~?"
Leng Yuyao replied, "Young Master, Third Master has followed the orders of the head of the family and sent all the spare ships in the family to the southeast sea to gather information about the imperial court fleet. They will be back soon, but according to Third Master, there will definitely be news within these two days ~!"
Wang Renbiao nodded and said, "Good, inform me immediately when there's news ~!"
"Yes, Young Master ~!"

Yanhuang College.
After raising more than 300,000 strings of cash, Li Zexuan could be said to be full of confidence. After he left Li Gang's place, he went straight to Yan Shaoning, the former chief engineer of the college.
Speaking of which, Yan Shaoning was now hanging out with Mo Lingwei every day, researching astronomical telescopes. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to care about the remaining projects of the college. Many times, when the craftsmen had something to do, they would come to him personally.
He just didn't know if this guy was doing it for official business, or to make it easier for him to pick up girls.
Li Zexuan thought maliciously as he walked along the corridor.
