The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1699

[1699. Chapter 1616 Big Deal]

Zhou Tanzhi couldn’t understand.

Why would someone take three hundred thousand taels of silver to raise pigs for themselves?

And he also gave himself 20% of his shares for free.

There is no such good thing in this world.

This made him feel defensive.

Furthermore, do you really make money by raising pigs?

He looked at Liu Wenzhi suspiciously.

Liu Wenzhi looked sincere, as if he was afraid that Zhou Tanzhi would not believe him.

Liu Wenzhi hurriedly explained: “Of course, this is not just for Duke Zhou to raise pigs alone. With so much money, we need to build a pig-raising workshop, hire many people, and even manage these pigherders.

” Let’s be honest, it’s really difficult to find a great talent like Duke Zhou in this market. How many people can manage a large workshop? There are not many people in the world. Duke Zhou is different. He once served as an official and served as the Minister of Rites. He must have some skills in managing people. “

“Furthermore, since I am asking someone to manage such a large workshop, I would be really worried if it were someone else. , these days, there are so many interests involved. If the other party is even a little bit greedy, I am afraid that I will lose all my money. But Zhou Gong is a disciple of the prince. I also heard that Zhou Gong is an honest official. With Qingfeng in his sleeves, how can I not trust someone like Duke Zhou? Not to mention three hundred thousand taels of silver, even if I send half of my property to Duke Zhou to take care of it, I can rest assured. “

“Of course I value this. This is the art of raising pigs by Duke Zhou. Duke Zhou is good at governing people, he is honest, he is a gentleman, and he can also raise pigs. He is the perfect candidate for me to choose. Duke Zhou, the demand for meat in the market is extremely high nowadays. Big, and Zhou Gong has this talent, he can not only change the current predicament, but also provide a large amount of meat. This… can be regarded as seeking some benefits for the people of the world. This is the best of both worlds, why not, still hesitating What? “

Speaking of this, Zhou Tanzhi finally felt relieved.

He smiled bitterly in his heart. He was too cautious. Now that he has fallen to this point, what is there for others to deceive?

So he said: “In that case…should we prepare to purchase land and build a pig-raising workshop?”

Liu Wenzhi was delighted when he heard his move, and immediately said: “This is natural. In addition, please ask Duke Zhou to take care of the current situation first.” These pigs, everything must have a beginning and an end, let them go out of the slaughter first.”

Zhou Tanzhi nodded.

Liu Wenzhi continued: “I have another unkind request, that is, can this matter be kept secret for the time being? “

Keep it secret?

Zhou Tan was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant.

Liu Wenzhi said: “Wait for some time before spreading the word.”

Zhou Tanzhi didn’t understand these things, so he finally nodded.

Liu Wenzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that Zhou Tanzhiding was an arrogant person, but he didn’t expect it. It was much easier than he expected.

Of course he didn’t know that for Zhou Tanzhi, today was different from the past. After truly experiencing hardships, Zhou Tanzhi would not miss any opportunity.

After Liu Wenzhi left, Zhou Tanzhi returned to the house, bowed to Wang Biel and told him everything Liu Wenzhi had said.

Wang Ao frowned, a little suspicious: “Why is this merchant… so strange? I have heard of this Liu Wenzhi. This man… definitely doesn’t look down on the meager income of raising pigs. What he does is big business.” With millions of silver in his pocket, he is one of the top giants of the Ming Dynasty. It is really unimaginable that he would ask for help for such a small business. What’s more, even if he invested 300,000 taels of silver in raising pigs, he would be able to raise pigs as much as possible. Calculated in terms of income, it is good to have 30% of the convenience in a year. It is only a mere one hundred thousand taels of silver taken in every year. Although this is a huge profit for some people, for people like Liu Wenzhi, it is not bad. “It’s not worth mentioning at all.”

Wang Ao paused and said sincerely: “Zi’an, you must be careful. The world is dangerous and it is not as simple as raising pigs.” When

Zhou Tanzhi heard this, he just became angry. The hope he had raised was immediately extinguished, and he couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged, and then sadness came from his heart. But after thinking about it carefully, he calmed down, and suddenly fell to the ground again, saying: “Teacher, the student has no way out. In this life, we have to raise pigs. Now, this is the last chance for the students. Teacher… The students have no choice. Therefore, even if they know that this may be a trap, they still have to jump in. . Students have always been disgusted and rejected by merchants, but now… students are in such a situation, what else can they do? “

The word “Naihe” is really desolate.

At this time, he thought of the Gu family and his family, who were still living under someone else’s roof.

He thought that he was worried about his mentor. His mentor was old and he was still here raising pigs with him.

For the sake of these relatives, he can’t go on like this. No matter what, he has to fight hard now!

Wang Ao was also helpless, and finally sighed, shook his head and said: “Come on, there is no way out, maybe there is no way out, and maybe there is still a village with bright flowers. Zian, just keep some perspective.”

Zhou Tanzhi agreed .

.

For now, he is still raising these pigs peacefully and waiting for them to be released.

These pigs are all strong and strong, and Zhou Tanzhi becomes more and more handy with them.

He has become more and more familiar with the pig’s habits.

Another month passed like this.

These pigs are finally ready for slaughter.

In the past half month, there has been a lot of news.

It’s all about Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi raising pigs.

Many people said that it was well maintained, and some people even spread rumors that Zhou Tanzhi had figured out some formula.

It was a rare thing for a prince to raise pigs.

And it is well maintained, which is even more exciting.

Tourists who had lost interest now reappeared.

Watching…the pigs are about to be put out of the slaughterhouse.

At this time…on the exchange.

A new prospectus has been filed.

This is a prospectus about pig farming.

In the prospectus, the investment in pig raising, the land purchased, and the recruitment of many personnel were introduced in great detail.

Of course, the biggest selling point is not the Liu family’s business.

But the secret recipe.

A secret recipe for raising pigs was given by Zhou Tanzhi, the former Minister of Rites.

This man raises pigs, which is extraordinary.

Therefore, new pig-raising workshops will adopt a brand-new model, building large-scale workshops in various places, training personnel, and raising pigs.

In this prospectus, a lot of ink was spent describing the prospects of the future meat market.

Pigskin can be used to make clothes.

Pork can be eaten or processed.

Even pig’s offal has value.

As the population in the capital and Baoding increases in the future, and the people become richer and richer, the demand for meat will reach unprecedented levels.

There is even a report included in the prospectus. In the report, the sales volume of meat in the past ten years is compared.

Today, meat consumption is more than 25 times what it was ten years ago.

Such a huge growth meant that the production of meat was temporarily unable to meet demand.

Therefore…the new pig-raising workshop solves this problem.

With the Liu family’s connections, the prospectus was quickly reviewed and immediately released to the public.

Ever since, this prospectus was placed on Wang Bushi’s desk.

Wang Bushi only looked at it lightly.

As one of the most wealthy people in Beijing, Wang Bushi would occasionally pay attention to many new stocks being listed.

Of course, just take a look.

Nowadays, there are many new stocks of all kinds, but there are not many that can really arouse Wang Bushi’s interest.

This is because Wang Bushi is not optimistic about the current prosperity.

What’s more, many new stocks have limited future growth.

He doesn’t think much of these petty profits.

Wang Bushi just glanced at the prospectus quickly.

Immediately, the person named Zhou Tanzhi attracted attention.

As an official in the same dynasty, Wang Bushi had an impression of Zhou Tanzhi.

This person… can raise pigs?

Fun, fun!

Wang Bushi called Deng Jian over.

“You know that Tanzhi is raising pigs this week, right?”

Deng Jian snorted coldly: “He offended my young master, and he deserves it.”

Wang Bushi smiled, but asked: “How is he raising pigs? ?”

Deng Jian was stunned: “What does it matter if he is good at raising pigs?”

“Go and find out, it’s all about the details, understand?”

Deng Jian looked confused, but went immediately.

Wang Bushi closed the prospectus and then fell into thinking.

This is a very interesting prospectus.

Ordinary people may not be able to understand it, but for those who can understand it, this prospectus is as hyped as usual, but in fact, the real selling point is just a person named Zhou Tanzhi.

Is there something unusual about this person named Zhou Tanzhi?

Wang Bushi believed that soon…many people like him would focus on Zhou Tanzhi to observe the potential of this new stock.

“It’s interesting.” Wang Bushi shook his head, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi, who was in the palace, was finally made restless by a letter.

He had no choice but to call Fang Jifan in front of him. With an unhappy look on his face, he glared at Fang Jifan: “Jifan, what has the prince been doing recently?”

“Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, is studying…”

In fact…the prince’s whereabouts, Emperor Hongzhi knew that this was just a test. Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi said: “So, what has Jifan been doing recently?”

Fang Jifan also noticed that Emperor Hongzhi was unhappy. After thinking for a long time, he didn’t expect that he would do this. He had done something out of the ordinary in a while, so he said: “These days, I have been thinking about the country and the country of Ming Dynasty. I feel very ashamed. I am not very capable and cannot always share your Majesty’s worries, so I have to be more diligent in order to avoid unnecessary troubles.” Your Majesty is so troubled by this. “

……

it’s even later to have dinner with friends. “
