Chapter 124 Jia Sidao's Grave Digger

Seeing that it was late, Xiao Qi hurriedly said after Wen Tianxiang left, "My lord, it's time to go to the Tongle Building."

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Tian made an appointment with Lin Zhixiong in the name of Mr. Huyan, the big owner of Shifeng Commercial Company, to meet at Tongle Building tonight. As the host of the banquet, I naturally don't want to be late.

After I changed my mask at the commercial store, I walked towards the Tongle Building, with Yuan Ji and Xiao Qi closely beside me.I don’t know how many members of Longya’s security department are scattered around in secret. Since I returned to Beijing from Kuaiji, Longya’s protection of me has risen to an unprecedented level. Every time Yuan Ji thinks of the assassination of the man in black, he feels terrified. So be very careful about that.

The last time we went to Jinhua, there were no less than 30 to [-] experts from the Longya Security Department secretly protecting me, but I didn't know it.

Fang Ling didn't wait for me at the firm, but went directly to Tongle Building.

"Ling'er, you came earlier than me."

"That is, who is like you, busy all day long."

"Hehe, what did you do today?"

"I went shopping with sister Qiu'er today. I was tired from shopping in the afternoon, so I went here directly."

"Well, where is Xiao Tian?"

"It is said that another big businessman from Suzhou is coming, and he has gone to pick him up."

I have met Lin Zhixiong, but Lin Zhixiong has not met me. As for any big businessman in Suzhou, I have never heard of it.

After a while, Xiao Tian brought Lin Zhixiong and a strange man in his 40s to Tianzi No. [-] room.

After Xiao Tian's introduction, the red-faced Lin Zhixiong clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Huyan, I have long admired, I have long admired, this time the monosodium glutamate of your bank has made me a lot of money. From now on, no matter what products your Shifeng Commercial Bank has, let us make a Proxy."

"Boss Lin, you can discuss this matter with Xiao Tian. My boss is just a hands-off shopkeeper. As long as Xiao Tian thinks it is feasible, I will not object."

"Then it's settled." Lin Zhixiong said with a smile, "Mr. Huyan, let me introduce you. This is my friend Boss Zheng, who is also my fellow Fujianese. He is now residing in Suzhou. He is the richest man there. The industry is very broad, and it is much better than me.”

Boss Zheng is not tall, looks ordinary, and wears ordinary clothes. No matter how you look at it, he can't remind people of the richest man in Suzhou. Of course, Lin Zhixiong will not make such jokes casually.

"Mr. Huyan, Zheng Huchen, I didn't expect Mr. Huyan to be so young. Before he came down, he was still guessing. The one who can make monosodium glutamate must be an old man with a sense of demeanor. Disrespect, disrespect."

After a while of pleasantries, the food and drink were eaten, and the conversation gradually increased.

"Boss Zheng, from your accent, it doesn't seem to be as strong as Boss Lin's Fujian accent."

"Mr. Huyan doesn't know something. Although I was born on Fujian Road, when I was ten years old, because my father was a fellow of Yuezhou (Yuezhou, Kuaiji is today's Shaoxing), I followed him to live on Liangzhe Road. It's a change in accent."

"Yuezhou Tongzhi, is your father's name Zheng Xun?"

Zheng Huchen was a little surprised: "Yes, Mr. Huyan knew his late father?"

Tongzhi from Yuezhou, from Fujian, Zheng Huchen, so it was him.

According to historical records, Zheng Huchen, styled Tinghan and Jingzhao, was born in Nanshan Baizhu, Changxi County, Fujian Road (now Yangtou Village, Xibing Nanshan, Fuan City) in the 12th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1219). 1275) served as the county lieutenant of Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang).His father Zheng Xun, Song Lizong's co-prefect of Yuezhou at that time, was framed by the traitor Jia Sidao and exiled to death.Zheng Huchen was imprisoned, exiled to the frontier, and released after being pardoned.After returning, he lived in Suzhou for a long time and became a wealthy man in business.During his stay in Suzhou, he compiled "Wu Du Wen Cui".In the first year of Deyou, Zheng Huchen killed the treacherous official Jia Sidao on the way to escort him, and wiped out the traitors for the world.The deeds were recorded in "Fear of Mindu".In the second year, Chen Yizhong, Jia Sidao's accomplice, fled to Fuzhou, supported Zhao Shi, and arrested and killed Zheng Huchen.After Zheng Huchen was killed, he was buried next to the pavilion garden in Nanshan Village, and the villagers and their descendants built a shrine in front of the village to commemorate him.Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, also erected a stone tablet in the stone pavilion in front of the Mumian Nunnery, and personally wrote "Song Zheng Huchen punished Jia Sidao here".Wang Ziheng of the Ming Dynasty also wrote a poem about Zheng Huchen's killing of Jia: "It's unbelievable to say that you wronged the country back then, and ran away to expose the sun. Who said that the tiger ministers became strong, and the kapok has a monument through the ages."

Zheng Huchen himself doesn't have many remarkable things, but he is known by later generations as Jia Sidao's gravedigger.However, no matter what purpose Zheng Huchen has, whether it is for public or private reasons, it is commendable to have such courage.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I just heard a little about your father's deeds."

Zheng Huchen let out a soft "Oh" and said nothing more.

Lin Zhixiong knew Zheng Huchen's details and knew that he didn't want to bring up the past, so he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Huyan, I heard from Xiao Tian that you want to expand overseas business, what is your plan?"

I nodded and said, "Exactly. In the future, when the output of Shifeng Trading Company is large enough, I plan to sell it to overseas markets. I wonder how much Boss Lin knows about overseas markets?"

Lin Zhixiong said proudly: "Everyone knows that my Lin family's fleet is on Fujian Road. We have traveled south to Luzon Island, and went north to Ryukyu. It's just that those places are far behind our dynasty, and there doesn't seem to be much profit. "

"Haha." I smiled, "The overseas markets I'm referring to are not just these places, they are big overseas. I am very optimistic about this market, so I want to cooperate with you to develop overseas markets together."

Lin Zhixiong was overjoyed in his heart, but he kept his face on the surface: "Mr. Huyan, with all due respect, although it is not easy to build a fleet, it is not impossible. With the ability of your Shifeng Trading Company, I believe it can be done. , why does your bank want to cooperate with us? You can do it yourself to maximize profits.”

"Hehe, Boss Lin, business in the world cannot be done by just one or two people. The so-called art industry has specialization. We have our strengths, and you have yours. Why don't we pool our respective strengths together? We have a unique Products, you have a ready-made fleet and sailors who are proficient in navigating, isn’t it more effective? And we can also use the time and energy to build a fleet to develop more products, each doing what we are best at Things, combined together in a tangible way, I think this is the way of business in the future.”

After I finished speaking, I quietly looked at Lin Zhixiong who was thinking.

Zheng Huchen, like Lin Zhixiong, was reminiscing my words quickly in his mind.

After a long time, Lin Zhixiong picked up the wine glass and said, "Young Master Huyan, I would like to offer you a toast. This cooperation is all according to your wishes, and I agree. I just don't know where the overseas market that Young Master Huyan refers to?"

"Continue sailing from Luzon Island."

Lin Zhixiong was surprised: "Going outside, no one has passed by. Are there still people living in those places?"

"Of course there is, and it is far richer than Luzon and Ryukyu."

Seeing that Lin Zhixiong was confused, Xiao Tian casually said, "Monosum glutamate, I've never had it before."

There is always a first time for everything, and the first time can have the greatest profit.Lin Zhixiong certainly understands this truth, but as the business grows, his thinking gradually tends to be conservative.This is also a common problem of many successful people. Because I have done this before and achieved success, I will do it again in the future. This is typical empiricism.

In later generations, many successful people are willing to spend a lot of money to have meals with billionaires such as Buffett, not purely for the sake of vassals and celebrities, but more for broadening their own thinking, hoping to break their own bottlenecks in chatting.

Lin Zhixiong looked at Xiao Tian, ​​sighed, and said, "Young Master Xiao, I pretended to have lived 20 years longer than you, but my knowledge is not as good as you young people, ashamed."

I smiled and said, "Boss Lin, you are being modest, come on, Boss Zheng, let's have a drink together."

Zheng Huchen drank a glass of wine and said, "Listening to what you say, is better than studying for ten years. I wonder if I have a chance to cooperate with you?"

"Boss Zheng, of course there is a chance."
