This mountain is mine

Chapter 215

Zhao Man seemed not to hear Fang Ke's teasing words, neither dissatisfied nor answered.

"Fang Ke." Zhao Man's gaze stayed on Fang Ke for five seconds, silently evaluating this ordinary-looking man.

Shrewd, bold, and cynical, just like Fang Ke's reputation outside, he interpreted the image of a businessman protected by an expert very well.

Those who are not shrewd will make people feel jealous, and those who are not presumptuous will be disgusting. Only those with a little bit of flaws can be reassuring.

Fang Ke smiled and let him look at him, cupped his hands, and said, "My lord."

When Zhao Man was sizing up Fang Ke, he was also evaluating Zhao Man. He had to say that Zhao Man was still slightly different from what he had imagined, not because of his appearance, but because of his feeling.

Fang Ke thought that Zhao Man's tragic and unlucky life experience must have a lot of negative emotions, such as gloom, depression, violence, and resentment. Not to mention all three, at least one of them must be present.

Zhao Man in front of him had a calm and restrained aura. Although his face was a bit cold and sharp, he was not gloomy. His brows were stretched, but he was not restrained. From his walking and demeanor, it was vaguely discernible that he was a resolute and decisive killer, but he did not have a violent air. , still makes people dare not underestimate.

After the evaluation of the first impression, although Fang Ke had a smile on his face, he also accepted the joke.

This is considered to be an acquaintance.

Before Zhao Man could say anything, he sat down in the most honorable position besides the main seat.

Fang Aonan didn't look sideways, and sat down next to him.

Yu Miaomiao also knew about this meeting, their partner has arrived.

She first went to get the plan she had written before, and asked Li Sijin to accompany Mr. Lan to talk, then came back in a hurry and looked at Fang Ke.

This is her biggest partner, the eldest son of the Fang family, the richest man in Fangling, the head of the Fang family, and now the power of the Fang family has been transferred to Xingyuan Mansion, Yizhou, and Yuzhou. What kind of property does Yu Miaomiao have? I don't pay attention, I only know that he has the largest Shu brocade weaving and spinning.

Men see men differently than women see men.

Fang Ke is less than 30 years old, and his appearance basically has no similarities with Fang Aonan. In front of Zhao Man, Fang Aonan, and Li Sijin, his appearance is relatively mediocre, with good features. The eyes are bright and bright, and they look a little evil.

Fang Ke noticed Yu Miaomiao's gaze, and his younger brother Fang Aonan stared at Yu Miaomiao's scribbles all the way, like a baby.

He also did some research on Yu Miaomiao, and at this moment he glanced at her calmly, with a smile in his eyes. For the first time, Yu Miaomiao felt that someone really looked like a bad guy, especially when he smiled, as if What a bad idea.

Seeing that Yu Miaomiao became vigilant immediately, he quickly decided to cheer up, this man should not be underestimated.

Fang Ke only took a glance, and then quickly turned away without being rude.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and a booklet fell in front of him, "This is?"

Zhao Man went straight to the topic, he didn't like nonsense, he threw the plan that Yu Miaomiao brought to Fang Ke, and said in a deep voice, "You read this first."

Fang Ke didn't know much beforehand, and it wasn't worth any business. Looking at the booklet in his hand now, there were a full twenty pages. .

Yu Miaomiao has thought about it carefully. What she can provide is technology, spinning wool and knitting woolen products. At this time, it is innovation. She has seen many patterns and can provide improvement in style. She will soon have the most advanced hydraulic spinning wheel, and the efficiency is also high. High, it is also possible to sell woolen yarn.

Apart from making money and housing more and more women in Fangling, she has little ambition. Neither she nor Zhao Man intends to eat such a big cake by themselves.

After discussing with each other, the husband and wife decided to transfer all the technology in their hands to Fang Ke. As for whether Fang Ke wants to transfer it in the future, the two of them don't care.

Fang Ke and Xixia had a business relationship, and the source of the wool had to be transported back through the Fang family's road, and the identity of Zhao Man's behind-the-scenes was concealed.

If Zhao Man used his own name to contact Xixia and Tibetan herdsmen to buy wool, given his current situation, it would definitely be impossible on the surface. You can do anything in Fangling, but you can't go out.

His purpose is only raw materials. He wants to ensure the deterrent effect on the origin of raw materials. Of course, one of the purposes is to make money by selling the wool.

In the past two months, he has sent people to secretly contact the herdsmen of Xixia and Tubo tribes, and negotiated and signed long-term contracts. These tribes herdsmen never thought that someone would buy dirty and cheap wool.Without any hesitation, he signed a contract with Zhao Man ranging from five to ten years, and the asking price was not high.

Now the deposit for the first batch of wool has been paid, and the final payment will be settled after autumn.

If Fang Ke agreed, he would be able to borrow this trade route and bring the wool back.

Most of the wool is controlled by Zhao Man. Woolen merchants have to buy wool from him if they want it. Of course, they can also go to Dali to buy it, or other remote tribes that Zhao Man has not taken care of, but these are a minority.

He has already seized this opportunity, and all the funds in his hand are used in raw materials, and then he occupies the entire wool textile market. It is one thing that he does not have such strong funds. Only by bearing the military food and military salary can we breathe.

The gold mine obtained from Murong's family has not been used until now.

Moreover, there is no such thing as an industrial chain, only one is dominant, and they need partners who share risks to divert their attention.

What's more, when Fangling's wool textiles are available, this is not a particularly difficult thing, but no one has thought of it for the time being. After a long time, it will definitely be found out.

As for weaving?Such complicated Sichuan brocade can be woven, and woolen sweaters are nothing.

It's better to use this favor to exchange for a shield, Fang Ke can afford this shield.

Yu Miaomiao was not worried that Fang Ke would snatch the business and squeeze her to nowhere. She followed the technical route, and with constant innovation, there would be no such thing as teaching apprentices to starve to death of their masters.

The contract clearly stated that she would not compete with Fang Ke for large items such as woolen sweaters and trousers, and promised not to be involved, but Fang Ke could not compete with her for the rest of the woolen products she made.

This has taken a big step back.

She had already made up her mind that she would only make small woolen socks and gloves, knee pads, scarves and hats, etc. These things were cheap and the market she faced was not small.

She also didn't make these small pieces of finished products. This is her way to get rich, and she can't get to the bottom so quickly.

They only had woolen sweaters and trousers knitted for Fang Ke to see.

Fang Ke was reading the contract, and Sun came over to pour some tea, and Yu Miaomiao whispered to her, telling her to bring all the clothes she had knitted during this period, so that Fang Ke would be willing to use her as a shield.

Fang Ke had been watching indifferently before, but when he turned to the back, he raised his eyebrows and began to pay attention.

Seeing Fang Ke's solemn expression, Fang Aonan quickly looked away, he knew about Zhao Man's purchase of wool.

Zhao Man was looking for someone to negotiate business with, and it was still the man he arranged.

Although he wished to have all the profitable businesses in his hands, he also knew his own strength and knew good from bad.Split out the bulk, as long as the raw materials are the same, he is also very profitable.

What's more, Yu Miaomiao's hair imitations were all handed over to him.

He can only describe the Fang family as love and hate. On the one hand, he hates the humiliation this family gave him, and wants to replace it, but he can get rid of these hatreds. The Fang family is Fang Aonan's broken root.

Fang Ao Nan kept saying that he broke the Fang family, but why didn't those businessmen look at the big tree of the Fang family before giving him a chance?
Otherwise, just relying on Fang Aonan's three words, even with Zhao Man's support, he would not be able to stand firm so quickly.

In Shangyanshang, although the cooperation with Zhao Man has never seen woolen textiles, Fang Aonan also believes that for the Fang family, it is definitely a matter of giving money, but the corresponding risks are not Small.

But with Fang Ke's temperament, if he was asked to see the sweetness, he would definitely be like a leech, no matter what the danger, he would suck it up.

Fang Aonan shook off these thoughts, asked Zhao Cai to bring over the account books, and handed them to Yu Miaomiao: "These are the account books for the past two months of wine, please order."

Yu Miaomiao didn't open it: "Can I not believe you? Don't read it."

Fang Aonan did not give up, and took out the piece of paper that Yu Miaomiao calculated earlier, "What is this? Can you tell me now? What kind of friendship do we have?"

Yu Miaomiao saw that this guy really had a heart, these were the Arabic numerals she used to settle accounts a long time ago.

What else did Fang Aonan want to say, Zhao Man glanced over coldly, then he lowered his voice, begged silently with his eyes, very sad, Fang Aonan is a typical obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, if he doesn't understand, he will always I keep in mind that I have been tormented for so long now, and I can't stand it anymore.

Before, Zhao Man didn't let Yu Miaomiao look at him, everyone covered his face with a veil, even if he was thirsty for knowledge, he didn't have a chance.

Now, Zhao Man has finally relaxed his controlling attitude towards Yu Miaomiao, so he naturally wants to seize the opportunity.

Yu Miaomiao was funny. Seeing that Zhao Man didn't object, she looked at her with serious eyes, and then she opened the account book. Anyway, Fang Ke had to read it for a while. She didn't know when she would finish it, so she just read it.

"Then I'll take a look, but don't ask me if you don't understand, I don't know either." She didn't want to teach, so she had to explain again.

If it wasn't for Zhao Man's presence, she wouldn't dare to show these things in front of people casually like before.

She originally thought that it was unimportant and had no influence. The more she revealed, the more people would suspect her. Zhao Man could see the difference in her, and others might find out. This was definitely not a good thing for her.

She is a native of Fangling, and now because of Zhao Man, her life must have been investigated, so she must be cautious in everything.

If Fang Aonan really saw something, he would be considered amazing, but she would not admit it, nor would she teach him.

Fang Aonan nodded solemnly, "Okay." He wanted to come over to have a look, but Zhao Man was sitting next to Yu Miaomiao, who could move with only one hand. Zhao Man pressed the paper for her, Fang Aonan It's not easy to move forward.

Yu Miaomiao sighed again in his heart, the greatness of human wisdom, every small progress takes a long time.

Then I took the pen and paper, looked at Zhao Man, and turned the Chinese characters into Arabic numerals in front of the account book, and wrote it down page by page. Zhao Man stared at the numbers in her pen, and frowned at those words , It has been seen that each Chinese character number corresponds to a strange symbol, there are not many of these symbols, and he has memorized a few of them.

Yu Miaomiao flipped through ten pages in total, and also transcribed the numbers on the ten pages, adding, subtracting and subtracting on the paper, and quickly figured it out.

Zhao Man took a long time to read it this time, and he didn't understand it. He didn't know much about accounting, but he also knew that those old accountants couldn't use their abacus as quickly as she did.

However, he didn't ask any questions, and Yu Miaomiao didn't give him an explanation. He reached out and took the pen and paper in Yu Miaomiao's hand, and scribbled on it twice, and the paper was messed up again.

Yu Miaomiao looked up at him, their eyes met, Zhao Man's eyes flickered slightly, and Yu Miaomiao couldn't help smiling, so he taught him once, and asked him to watch it a few more times, maybe he would understand it.

Zhao Man put down the pen and paper, Fang Aonan rushed over to look at it, and when he saw the messy piece of paper, he immediately complained: "What the hell is this?"

Zhao Man said coldly, "Think about it yourself."

Fang Aonan choked.

At this time, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wen had each brought two big burdens over.

Everyone's eyes were focused on these baggage again.

Even Zhao Man had only seen one hollow knitted top, and Yu Miaomiao took off the beanie and passed it to him to have a look, but he had never seen the rest.

Yu Miaomiao winked, and Mrs. Sun opened a bag, which was full of seven-color wool yarns of different thicknesses, which were round and full.

Yu Miaomiao explained to Fang Ke, "Clothes are woven with this kind of thread."

Fang Ke's eyes lighted up slightly, but he didn't express anything else.

He was thinking in his heart that this kind of wool could be woven into blankets, and if he slightly modified the loom in the brocade weaving workshop of his family, it should be able to weave it according to the brocade weaving method.

Much thicker than silk thread, I don't know how warm it is.

Mrs. Sun unwrapped another bag. Inside was a begonia red solid-colored round-neck sweater. According to Yu Miaomiao, it was a slim fit and would never be bloated in winter. She explained: "Although it is light and thin, it is very warm. Well, it will be cold in a while, so it's time to wear it."

Fang Ke stretched out his hand to take the dress, it was soft and fluffy to the touch, he is a very shrewd businessman, he could see the beauty of the dress at a glance, suppressed his excitement, and asked: "This thread is all Is it spun from wool?"

Yu Miaomiao nodded, seeing Fang Ke's reaction in his eyes, he was also relieved, and signaled Sun to continue.

Mrs. Sun took out another sash from it. This one didn't need Yu Miaomiao's explanation. It was woven exactly according to the scorpions that were popular at that time. As soon as the document came out, Fang Ke couldn't take his eyes off it.

He also read the plan once, and probably knew Zhao Man's plan, and his heart was already alive.

Sweaters and brocades also have their own advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is warmth. Pack them well and sell them in Fangjia’s ready-to-wear and cloth shops. You can also take orders like tailoring clothes. You can also make picture books first... Women always Out of clothes.

Fang Ke's thoughts drifted away, and Yu Miaomiao asked Wen to unpack the remaining two bags. In addition to a water-green men's sweater knitted with two carps, there were also two knitted hollow flower blouses and a pair of woolen trousers. .

This is the result of these days. It is purely handcrafted. After so long, there are only a few pieces.

But so far, it seems that the results are good, at least Fang Ke is very interested in the men's sweater.

Looking at the two carps, Zhao Man knew they were for Li Sijin. Originally, Miaomiao said she would knit one for him first, and she wove it by herself, but looking at Yu Miaomiao's hands, it will take some time before she recovers.

Zhao Man just got more energetic, and Yu Miaomiao also asked the women in the village to knit one for him, but it wasn't Yu Miaomiao's weaving, so he didn't want it.This time, I could only watch helplessly, suppressing the displeasure in my heart.

Yu Miaomiao rushed to Wen's and said, "Give this shirt to Fourth Master."

Wen Shi agreed, wrapped the shirt separately, and went out.

Fang Ke withdrew his gaze, with a smile on his face, and said, "That's right. It seems that I took advantage of it. I just provided a way to get the method of spinning and weaving for nothing..."

Yu Miaomiao frowned when she heard the words, and as expected, she heard Fang Ke continue: "However, it is very risky to be a shield for King Li, and our Fang family has thousands of weavers. If you can do it here, we can do it too. Our Fang family can also figure out the needlework and thread, since we know that the thread is made of wool, it will be easy to handle."

Yu Miaomiao knew Fang Aonan well. The first time she came into contact with Fang Aonan, she was almost pissed off by his indiscretion. Now she talks to Fang Ke like this, and she already thinks Fang Ke is treacherous. It was too unexpected.

Xindao, these two brothers are really brothers in business, they are both shameless in the same way.

She sneered, she didn't mean to ask Fang Ke to be a shield for the rest of his life, so that when Zhao Man built his own trade route, he would not need Fang's.

In fact, they can wait until the business road is built, and then find other partners, not just one, but to let a hundred flowers bloom in wool textiles. It is the same reason that Yang Yuan popularized the technique of repeatedly distilling liquor.

There is no need to give such a good discount. Now not only has all the technology been given, but even the woolen sweater and woolen pants are not stained, Fang Ke is still not satisfied.

The reason why he is so eager is that Zhao Man is eager to control the herdsmen's economy as soon as possible. This cannot be accomplished overnight, and naturally the sooner the better.

However, it was not her turn to come out this time, so Zhao Man directly ordered Mrs. Sun to wrap up all the clothes, took them off, and said in a deep voice, "I won't give them away."

Fang Ke's eyelids twitched, and he shook his head secretly, this Zhao Man really has no patience at all, a businessman, who wants to go around in his words, and leave a chance to negotiate conditions.

If he agreed so readily, he would not be Fang Ke.

Who knew that if they didn't agree with each other, they would be kicked out!
Although Yu Miaomiao also felt that Zhao Man's attitude was too blunt, this guy was really not a material for doing business.Nor did he think about the wool he bought waiting to be shipped back.

However, I was also unhappy with Fang Ke in my heart, and said coldly: "Then Mr. Fang Dalang, let's go back and think about it slowly. Since you feel that you are losing money, it is not a good deal to catch up. Today these things are in the hands of Mr. Fang Dalang. Now, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about selling it. It’s not just the Fang family who have weaving workshops in the Song Dynasty, there are also other families who have business relations with Xixia. Just a few turns."

What Yu Miaomiao said is true, but there are no complete business routes like Fang Ke's, and they can directly lead to Fangling, and the roads are all arranged.

And she thought to herself, she had seen the woolen thread and the weaving method before, and she had a guide, and the women in these villages had been pondering for a long time before they made it.

I don't believe that Fang Ke is a businessman and not a skilled weaver, and I don't believe that he can figure it out after just one glance.

Fang Ke said "Hey" with a calm expression on his face, but he was really embarrassed in his heart. It is rare to meet someone he finds difficult. In the past, everyone in business did not try to turn each other around and bargain. , the final word, doesn't it seem that he is very eager?Now I really regret not bringing a weaver here.

Yu Miaomiao and Zhao Man ignored him, thinking to themselves, they have nothing left to haggle over the price. Could it be that Fang Ke still wants them to pay some tolls?Think beautiful.The big deal is to wait, that is, to delay this winter.

Yu Miaomiao became fussy, and didn't take Fang Ke seriously at all, and came to discuss other matters with Fang Aonan.

She thought for a while, and said to Fang Aonan: "Mr. Erlang, I asked Si Ye to draw a small picture. You can see if you have any comments later. If you agree, we will find someone to print it. Lingchun wine, or Fangling’s wood and agricultural tools, are all pasted with such a small painting, so that when outsiders see this painting, they will know Fangling, and they will know that it belongs to Mr. Fang Erlang.”

Fang Aonan saw Fang Ke deflated, and laughed in his heart, he was tortured by Zhao Man, everyone is mutual benefit and reciprocity, Zhao Man doesn't have the patience to negotiate conditions.

Moreover, Fang Ao Nan looked through the plan, and it was indeed a very favorable price. He once again saw Fang Ke's shamelessness.

Hearing what Yu Miaomiao said, Fang Aonan thought about the possibility, he was a person who knows a little bit, thought of the beauty of it, clapped his hands and laughed.

"It's very good. It's a good method. It can also be used on the wool you took out just now. Let's hurry up and seize the opportunity. In the future, when everyone sees this wool, they will know it is ours. When they see this painting, they will think of the house. Mausoleum's things, this is preconceived, and the later is to do something that picks up the wisdom of others."

Yu Miaomiao nodded, Fang Aonan was really a child to teach, and he didn't favor his elder brother.

Yu Miaomiao was very happy, and continued to cast bait: "That's right, let's go pick it up, and it's rare for you to make this trip. Tomorrow, Mr. Bi will go to the weaving workshop to install a hydraulic spinning machine. The spinning speed is very fast, so you can go and see it too." look..."

Fang Aonan naturally responded to everything.
