For Du Qi, he was Du Ruhui's son, but in fact, he didn't have much power. Today, Du Ruhui was just a member of the Qin Palace, not the future Prime Minister of the Tang dynasty, so he didn't have much power.
So, Du Qi didn't have many cards in his hand. He wanted to run a tea shop, and now Li Shimin wrote the words "The Best Tea in the World", which was his trump card.
He had to make full use of this card to get enough resources for Du Qi.
However, Du Qi didn't go to visit Fang Yi 'ai directly, but asked Cheng Chumo to invite Fang Yi' ai to Zui Xiang House in Yongxing City to talk about business.
Zui Xiang House was a restaurant with two floors, and the decoration was quite elegant. Cheng Chumo was a frequent customer of Zui Xiang House. He took Du Qi to sit in a private room on the second floor, waiting for Fang Yi 'ai's arrival.
Time passed little by little.
Not long after, the door creaked, and a young man with a strong and sturdy body entered.
The young man was Fang Yi 'ai.
He entered the room and saw Cheng Chumo and Du Qi. He cupped his fist and said: "Brother Cheng, brother Du."
Fang family and Du family knew each other, especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, so the two families had private contacts. Fang Yi 'ai knew Cheng Chumo, and also knew Du Qi.
But their relationship was ordinary, after all, they didn't have a deep relationship.
After Fang Yi 'ai sat down, Cheng Chumo went straight to the point: "Erlang Fang, I invited you to Zui Xiang House this time because I have a business to do with you. The leader of this business is Erlang Du. He will take the lead, and you and I will invest. We have a good relationship, so I let you take the shares. This is your chance. "
Immediately, Cheng Chumo talked about the tea business and Li Shimin's inscription.
When Fang Yi 'ai heard Li Shimin's inscription, his eyes lit up and he was also interested. He looked at Du Qi and said: "Brother, how much money do I have to invest? How many shares do you own? "
Du Qi's expression was tranquil as he spoke neither hurriedly nor impatiently, "You and Brother Cheng are the same. Both of you have invested ten strings of money and each of you has twenty percent of the shares. Then, the dividends would be distributed proportionally every month. If you're willing, then let's do it. If you're not, then forget it. "
"I'm willing!"
Fang Yiai answered without hesitation.
Not to mention anything else, Li Shimin's inscription alone was worth ten strings of money, and it was worth it. Although Fang Yi 'ai was crude and did not like to study people's hearts, he was still clear about the basic situation.
Du Qi said, "Then it's settled."
Fang Yi 'ai said directly, "Tomorrow morning, I will personally send the money to the Du family."
Cheng Chumo said, "Me too!"
"No problem!"
Du Qi replied with a smile.
With the 20 strings of money provided by Fang Yiai and Cheng Chumo, for the time being, it was enough for Du Qi to start up the shop and start running. After all, 20 strings of cash was not a small sum.
After the tea shop opened and started running, Du Qi would have his first business.
Du Qi talked about the next arrangements and directions so that Fang Yiai and Cheng Chumo could feel at ease, and then they left.
Fang Yiai returned to the Fang family.
He went straight to the backyard and found his mother, Ms. Lu, and told her about the money to invest in the tea shop. He also said that Du Qi had Li Shimin's handwriting, "The Best Tea in the World".
Ms. Lu came from the Fanyang Lu family, which was a famous family. When it came to the cooperation with the Du family, especially the investment, Ms. Lu did not make the decision without authorization. Instead, she arranged for someone to invite Fang Xuanling and told him about Du Qi pulling Fang Yiai to invest.
After listening to the story, Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and chuckled, "Erlang, this kid, is really not simple. He's very scheming. Although Erlang is young, this kid is worth making friends with. "
"Especially the new tea leaves he made, I have tasted it, and it does have a different taste. It's very good. His tea leaves are very promising to be sold. "
"Your Highness's inscription," The Best Tea in the World ", is worthy of the name."
"Invest ten strings of money to invest."
Fang XuanLing's eyes flashed with a bright light. "What's more, Du Erlang's tea shop is not only our Erlang, but also Cheng Chumo from the Cheng Yaojin family. So, you can give it a try. Erlang of the Du family is not simple, our family's Erlang is too simple and honest. If you follow the Second Young Master of the Du family, you can learn from him. "
"Yes, I understand."
Fang Yiai directly agreed after hearing it.
For him, with his parents' approval, there was no pressure for him to invest ten strings of money.
Ms. Lu was also a knowledgeable person. She rolled her eyes and said with a sharp look, "Husband, when you mentioned Erlang of the Du family, you were full of praise. As far as I know, Erlang is only twelve or thirteen years old. At such a young age, he is not as good as you say. What's more, our family's Erlang may not be worse than Erlang of the Du family. "
"You are a woman's view!"
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Do you know that His Majesty summoned Du Ruhui and Erlang of the Du family to the palace a few days ago?"
Ms. Lu said, "I heard."
After a pause, Ms. Lu continued, "But it was said that this matter was turned around by the Qin King and Erlang was exempted from punishment. How did it have anything to do with Erlang of the Du family?"
Fang Xuanling shook her head and said, "You women's private conversations have long changed the truth beyond recognition, and it has completely changed its appearance. The truth is that it was not His Highness who did it, but Erlang of the Du family. With his sharp mouth, he convinced His Majesty and exposed Yin Changqing's framing. "
"If Consort Yin De had not received His Majesty's praise, Yin Changqing and his son would have been executed for the crime of deceiving His Majesty. It was precisely because of their lies that Yin Changqing went to the Du family to apologize. "
"The rumors on the street are getting more and more outrageous."
"Think about it, Erlang of the Du family is only twelve or thirteen years old. In the face of His Majesty, he can talk and laugh calmly, and finally turn the situation around. This kind of wisdom is not something a twelve or thirteen-year-old child can have. "
Fang Xuanling said, "Do you think our family's Erlang will be able to defend himself so calmly in front of His Majesty after entering the palace?"
Ms. Lu glanced at Fang Yiai, but Fang Yiai was amazed. He couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that Erlang of the Du family would be so powerful at such a young age. I underestimated him."
Originally, Fang Yiai looked down on Du Qi.
After all, he was too young.
He didn't expect Du Qi to have such means. Fang Yiai admired him very much.
Ms. Lu heard her son praising Du Qi. She thought that her son liked martial arts but was not literate at all. He was like a boorish man, completely different from her husband Fang Xuanling's resourcefulness. She couldn't help but get angry and snorted, "You little brat, go back to your room and reflect on your mistakes for a day. You are not allowed to go out until tomorrow."
Fang Yiai was stunned.
What was going on? He only said one sentence, how did he get into trouble?
Fang Xuanling said, "Madam, you don't have to, this …" As soon as he said this, he was glared at by Ms. Lu. She said forcefully, "You also shut up. As a father, you are also responsible for not teaching your son well. If you speak again, don't even think about going back to your room tonight. "
Fang Xuanling's cheeks twitched, and he looked at his son with a helpless expression.
"Mother, I will take my leave!"
Fang Yiai felt that this was a disaster from the heavens, and had to get up and leave.
Fang Xuanling looked at his son's back as he left, but he sighed in his heart. His son was too straightforward and too lacking in scheming.
