Mountains and rivers were everywhere, and the moon was hazy in the Merry Manor. The lights were bright, and people were in a hurry. Before they slept, the fog was thick.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan accompanied the old man to have dinner in the evening. They went to Li Xun to get the money and asked people to transport it away. Then, they took the car to see the Zhuangzi who tore down the house.
Before they arrived, they could hear the sounds of activity coming from the other side. There were the bold words of the people drinking and the laughter of children playing. The lanterns over there were lit, and they could see the tents propped up one after another. They could also see the shadows of people swaying there.
The fog came early today. It was humid and uncomfortable before the sky was completely dark. At this moment, the fog was even thicker.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's car was also lit with lanterns. There was also a small flag with a little seedling on it. This little seedling had eyes and was very cartoonish. Some even had hands and feet. There were several kinds of flags. Zhang Xiaobao's flag was a male seedling. Wang Juan's flag was a female seedling with a bow on her head.
If Father Zhang went out, the seedling would wear a hat on her head. The Jang Wong Clan's flag was a hairpin. The strong seedling protection team's flag was a spade in the seedling's hand. Even Steward Zhang had his own flag. The seedling's flag was a ledger. The Zhang family didn't have anyone to take care of the ledger. Only the Jang Wong Clan was in charge of it.
When they found an accountant in the future, they could assign someone to take care of the ledger. Zhuangzi couldn't do it in the past, so there was no need for someone to take care of the ledger. Now that they didn't have enough manpower, they were preparing to train people in the inner courtyard to take over. When that time came, Steward Zhang would have to change his flag.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's flags were two seedlings holding hands. It was obvious that the little ancestors of the Zhang family and the Wang family were going out at the same time.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't want to participate. Everyone was so happy. Now that two people from the main family came, the atmosphere immediately changed. The two of them just looked around. When they saw that there was nothing to do, they ordered the car to turn around and go back.
After a short nap, the two of them got up to study again. The old man talked more than Zhang Xiaobao's father usually did, and he also talked more deeply. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were already having a hard time learning, especially Zhang Xiaobao. He had a weak foundation and relied on the adult way of thinking to catch up.
But he would never admit defeat, nor would he give up. He tried his best to remember, thinking that he would master the things that the old man taught him through a comprehensive study.
At the same time, he also had to practice calligraphy. When others read an article, the first thing they looked at was the words. Just like chicken chop, even a good article would be degraded.
The two of them studied for almost four hours before they finally understood what they heard during the day. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan put down their pens at the same time and rubbed their wrists.
"Xiao Bao, I asked you to get another 10,000 strings of cash. This time, we finally have more money. Otherwise, the river would be a little difficult. Are you planning to get this much?" Wang Juan squeezed her sore eyes and asked Zhang Xiaobao.
"No, I plan to take over the three workshops and the three schools. They probably don't have any money on hand. Back then, they must have planned to come here to cheat once. Who would have thought that Li Xun would find us. In order to continue cheating, they had no choice but to agree to what Li Xun said and built three workshops for show."
Zhang Xiaobao originally planned to have his own research department, but he didn't have time. Now that someone else had helped him, he could just occupy it.
Wang Juan nodded. She still didn't fully understand. "Xiao Bao, do you know how they plan to cheat?"
This was Zhang Xiaobao's strength. This was what he studied. He said, "It's simple. They originally had some money. After cooperating with Li Xun, they should directly start to build the dock. They don't need to finish building it. They just need to have a framework. This way, they can find more rich people to invest money.
With Li Xun's identity, those who invested money were relieved. Who would have thought that they would dare to cheat Li Xun? This way, they raised a large sum of money. Look, the management is still in their hands. Li Xun just doesn't have enough for dividends, but he can give suggestions. That's why they built the workshop. It's for others to see.
They wanted others to misunderstand that Li Xun had the authority to manage this place. Once they had invested enough money, they would build this shipyard and use the sea route to do business to attract more people to invest in this shipyard. This would allow them to build bigger ships.
When all of this is successful, they will use the identity of the manager to sell the dock. Then they will take the money and run away. Look at the document they signed with Li Xun. It says that they can dispose of the dock, but they need to give the money to Li Xun.
But if they run away, where can you find them? For example, they ran to Tubo and hid their identity. You can't send troops to look for them, right? Or they can run to a place further away. "
"That's not right. If they run like that, how will they transport the money?" Wang Juan raised her doubts.
"They can just say that they are going to buy things. Also, the people who bought the dock will come and look at it first. After looking at it, they will go elsewhere to write the document. Actually, it doesn't matter to them whether they write the document or not. The money from selling the dock can be sent to other places.
If he wanted to do things more perfectly, he could first build some small boats. Then, after selling the boats, he would split the profits with the owners. This way, it would be faster to attract more people. In fact, the owners would even continue to invest as they saw the benefits.
This kind of thing happens every year. Actually, it is illegal to raise money, and then abscond with the money. It's a very simple plan, and many people are fooled. But when it comes to the operation, the details are slightly different, but it's still the same. "
Zhang Xiaobao explained this theory.
"You have done this before?" Wang Juan noticed that Zhang Xiaobao is beside her, and she is relieved. She only saw the beginning, and she knows what is going on.
Zhang Xiaobao arrogantly raised his chin. "I don't want to use this kind of method. It's boring."
"Tsk. You are still bragging. Actually, your method is very simple. I know all about it." Wang Juan pretended to be disdainful.
"Yes, you know that. But if I want to, I can lie to you like this. You will definitely fall for it again. This is just like fighting moves. There are only a few kinds of moves, and when combined together, the power will be different. You can't beat someone, and then you watch the replay of the video and think about it for a while. In the end, you still can't beat someone. Moves are dead, but people are alive."
Zhang Xiaobao pinched Wang Juan's nose. After saying that, he did not want to shower and went straight to bed. He is exhausted today.
Wang Juan also burrowed under her blanket. "Hmph! You can't lie to me. If I don't take advantage of you, what can you do to me? "
*****
The next morning, after Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had breakfast, they went to find the old man to learn something. The old man usually fishes for a while first. In Zhang Xiaobao's opinion, his fishing skills can only be considered mediocre. He has told him a few times, but he is still the same.
After accompanying the old man to fish for a while, the others also came over and prepared to listen to the lecture.
The old man has been very happy these days. The people he taught are all good, and his granddaughters are also better than the average person. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are all good, and even the little girl Liu 'er is extraordinary. This makes the old man feel a sense of achievement as a good teacher.
After less than two hours of the lecture, Steward Zhang came over angrily. When the old man stopped, he said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Young Master, the Chen family is too much."
"What? Did they plant all the brambles on our side? "Zhang Xiaobao asked.
"No, they planted all the brambles on their side. But not only did they plant them on the ground, they also planted them on the road. That is the original road of the Yuan family's Zhuangzi. They planted the brambles on the road and did not let that road lead to the other side.
I don't know how they did it, but the title deed actually included the road as his house's. If we want to transport goods from here, it's too far. Moreover, there's a big market over there. If we want to sell things there, we can't go around in a big circle, right?
Even if we take a detour, there is no road. A road that usually takes an hour will take at least ten hours if we take a detour. I went to reason with them, but they still said the same thing. They don't want to have anything to do with Zhangjia Zhuangzi and asked us to be magnanimous. "
Steward Zhang began to complain. Zhang Xiaobao listened quietly. After listening to him, he suddenly smiled and said, "Now my conscience is at ease. Well, since they gave us such a good reason, if we don't use it, we'll be letting them down. Steward Zhang, come here, let me tell you …"
Zhang Xiaobao called Steward Zhang over. After some arrangements, Steward Zhang left happily. Zhang Xiaobao looked back at the old man and said, "If the heavens want to punish you, you can go against it. If you want to punish yourself, you can't live. Now Steward Zhang can vent his anger.
People really can't compare to Zhuangzi of the Ge family. Ge Yingxi knows that cooperation is mutually beneficial. They actually want to use this kind of method to suppress the Zhang family. I want to see what kind of business they are doing. When I have time, I will ask someone to do it. "
"You are full of bad ideas. That person could teach you anything, but why did he have to teach you this kind of thing? Follow me." The old man didn't ask what Steward Zhang was going to do. He would know when the time came. Looking at Zhang Xiaobao's righteous appearance while scheming against others, he shook his head. He was a little resentful of the person behind this. A good child, when it came to bad ideas, he could really draw inferences about other cases.
After a while, when the old man was resting, Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "What did you ask Steward Zhang to do?"
"Nothing. Just what we talked about last time, changing the river's course. I didn't want to change it at first, because if I changed it, others wouldn't be able to get water. But once it was changed, the distance between our river and that of Grandfather Bi's nephew's river would be shortened. I had good intentions and wanted to be a good person. Unfortunately, they didn't give me the chance. Why do they always make things difficult for me?"
