At the same time.
Yuezhou City.
A huge mansion was located in the bustling area of the city. There was a plaque made of Phoebe zhennan wood hanging above the vermilion gate. There were two big words written on it.
"Gao Mansion."
Next to these two big characters, there was a line of small characters: Fanyang Lu Shi.
Walking into the courtyard, there were countless exotic flowers and herbs. There were even many precious species that even the palace didn't have. In the middle of these flowers, there was a middle-aged man.
His hair was combed high, and there were some white hairs on his temples. There were many wrinkles on his face, and a pair of muddy old eyes were half squinted. His expression was uncertain. He was the head of the Gao Family, Gao Xuan. At this time, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Master!"
Gao Cheng called out from behind.
Gao Xuan's thoughts were interrupted, and he frowned. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied. He didn't like people interrupting him when he was thinking. However, hearing the voice, it seemed to be Gao Cheng's housekeeper.
He faintly said, "Gao Cheng, don't you know that I don't like to be disturbed now?"
Gao Cheng was slightly surprised, and then said, "Master, I didn't mean to disturb you, but … it's … Zhang Feng."
"Zhang Feng?"
Gao Xuan frowned, turned his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong with Zhang Feng?"
Gao Cheng lowered his head and said with a worried face.
"Master, Zhang Feng is now building white paper factories in Yuezhou City. I don't know what he's going to do."
When he went out to buy things, he saw some craftsmen building paper factories in Yuezhou City. He didn't know what Zhang Feng was going to do, so he hurried back to tell his master.
Sure enough, when Gao Xuan heard Gao Cheng's report, he frowned and shouted angrily, "Is this true?"
Gao Cheng hurriedly lowered his head and said softly, "It's true, Master!"
Gao Xuan's brows were almost twisted into a ball as he thought to himself.
What is this Zhang Feng trying to do? Building a paper mill at this time?
Ever since she returned from the auction, Gao Xuan's heart hadn't calmed down for even a single day. At the auction, the Wang Clan, Wu Clan, and Zhao Clan were competing with the Old Man for Liu Li. In the end, the Wang Clan and Wu Clan actually put their entire wealth on the line to oppose the Old Man.
Gao Xuan couldn't get rid of the Old Man's reputation. It was all because of Zhang Feng!
What was the purpose of Zhang Feng building paper mills all over the city? Was it purely to develop a business?
Thinking up to this point, he turned his head to glance at Gao Cheng and asked in puzzlement, "What do you think Zhang Feng's intentions are?"
Gao Cheng was startled by the Patriarch's question. He said timidly, "Master, this Zhang Feng suddenly acted like this. Presumably, his motives are impure. You should know that the value of white paper is quite high. Why would he build a paper mill at this time?"
"Could it be …"
Gao Xuan was shocked. Could it be that this Zhang Feng wanted to oppose the Old Man?
The business that circulated on the surface of Jiangnan City was basically based on rice paper. The white paper was very precious and the cost of production was not low.
Only those scholars and scholars used it to hold books, so the Patriarch's money was not cheap!
Could it be that Zhang Feng wanted to build a paper mill to compete with the Old Man for the white paper business in Jiangnan City?
Gao Xuan strolled to the table in the courtyard and sat down. She picked up the wine pot on the table and poured a cup of wine to drink.
She let out a long sigh!
Alas …
It was said that the price of Zhang Feng's white paper was quite low. If he competed with the Old Man for business in Jiangnan City, wouldn't the Old Man be at a disadvantage?
It should be known that the low price of white paper would attract the pursuit of countless scholars in Jiangnan City. Its value was very considerable. Plus, Zhang Feng's business skills.
This matter …
I'm afraid it's not good!
Gao Xuan turned her head and looked at Gao Cheng with a melancholy face. She sighed and said, "Gao Cheng, what do you think of this matter?"
Hearing this.
Gao Cheng was hesitant at the moment. It seemed that there was something he hadn't told her, which made Gao Xuan puzzled. Could it be that there was something else besides the matter of Zhang Feng building a paper mill?
She shouted angrily, "Say it!"
Gao Cheng was so scared that he sat on the ground and stammered, "Old … Master, this lowly one also heard that the Wang Family, Fan Family, and Wu Family went to visit the Yu Family two days ago and had a long discussion before they left!"
As soon as he said this, Gao Xuan was instantly furious. She flicked her sleeve and knocked the wine pot and wine cup on the table to the ground.
Gao Cheng was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe. It should be known that no one could stop the Master when he was angry!
The Wang Family, the Wu Family, and the Fan Family were actually together with the Yu Family. The Yu Family and Zhang Feng had a close relationship.
Previously, the Yu Family in the auction house was against the Old Man, which made the Old Man very angry. He didn't expect that the Wang Family and the Wu Family were also with Zhang Feng …
Presumably, the Zhao Family and Zhang Feng must also be connected.
The Old Man was furious!
He had long seen that there was something wrong with them. They actually shed all pretense of cordiality and went against the Old Man at the auction house!
Gao Xuan suddenly stood up with a furious look on her face. She cursed, "You guys are really something. If my Gao Family doesn't show our power, do you really think that I'm made of paper?"
In Jiangnan, his Gao Family was considered to be one of the top clans among the five families and seven gazes. There was no need to talk about their financial resources. He didn't expect that the appearance of Zhang Feng would make those big clans unite to go against his Gao Family.
