My Fintech Empire

Fang Hong's reputation value was actually rising silently, but he didn't pay attention to it, because the reputation value was continuously increasing 24 hours a day, and his influence continued to spread.

In the early hours of the evening, the fireworks will be set off on time.

This time Fang Hong bought 10,000 to 20,000 yuan of fireworks, which became the most beautiful New Year’s Eve in the village so far. Even the neighboring villages could clearly see it. Many people came out to watch the fireworks. Talk about the situation in Fangjia Village over there.

It is worth mentioning that Fang Ping and Fang Jingshu's marriage was confirmed immediately on the day they came back from their date. The wedding day was set on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

It's time-consuming, but it's enough.

Fang Hong's parents also hoped that Fang Ping could get married soon, not to mention Fang Jingshu's natal family, for fear that the in-laws would repent later, if it wasn't for the Civil Affairs Bureau's holiday, they would have let them go to get the certificate on New Year's Eve.

On the day when the marriage between the two parties was confirmed, Fang Jingshu's natal family acted quickly and quickly spread the news of Fang Jingshu and Fang Ping's engagement. The implication was that your daughter had no chance.

Fang Jingshu's natal family is also the envy of those families in the village with daughters waiting in their boudoirs, but the matchmakers said don't panic, there is another Fang Hong, this is the real golden turtle son-in-law, there are still opportunities, Do not be discouraged.

In the past few days, Fang Hong is also busy with his second brother's marriage. Time is running short, and money is used to open the way.

In just a few days, every aspect of Fang Ping's marriage was put in place, and everyone in the village received invitations, including of course other relatives and friends who also sent invitations.

Regarding the marriage of his second brother Fang Ping, Fang Hong only had one request: make it special!

It must be a special event. This marriage is just an opportunity, an opportunity to increase the prestige of the second brother in the village and the family. After all, Fang Hong decided to ask him to take charge of the Fang's medicine hall. Without prestige, it is impossible.

But when the old man heard that a wedding would cost more than 3 million yuan, he resolutely opposed such extravagance and waste. It would be better to donate this money to the reconstruction of the disaster area.

...

At this moment, Fang Hong was at the old man's house, and the grandfather and grandson were discussing this matter behind closed doors.

"Grandpa, San'er decided that it is necessary to hold this high-standard wedding for my second brother. It must be a special event, because it is related to the layout of Fang's Medicine Hall." Fang Hong said, and the old man immediately stared at him Said: "What kind of relationship does this have with the medicine hall?"

"The relationship is getting bigger." Fang Hong said immediately: "Old man, I don't have much time to take care of the things in the way medicine hall. The company over there can't do without me, so I need my second brother to help me." I share my worries."

The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Fang Hong and said, "You mean, you want Ping'er to take care of the medicine hall?"

Fang Hong immediately nodded again and again: "The old man is wise, that's right."

Unexpectedly, the old man immediately shook his head and said: "Ping'er is not the material to be a leader. In this respect, he is not as good as you, even far behind you."

Hearing this, Fang Hong said with a smile: "Old man, I don't agree with you. It's too early for the second brother to draw conclusions on him at such a young age. Youth is the second brother's greatest capital. His lack of ability now does not mean that he will be in the future." The ability is not enough, besides, the second brother has another capital, that is, he has the help of my third brother, he can get up, he can get up, he is your grandson and my brother, Absolutely not a mediocre person."

The old man was also stunned for a while, staring blankly at Fang Hong. The words of the third grandson really surprised the old man. Looking at this grandson, a thought popped up in his mind: like me, it is even more terrifying for young people. This grandson Really amazing.

In the past few days, the old man has been surprised frequently.

After a while, the old man calmly said: "How to help?"

Fang Hong analyzed to the old man in an orderly manner: "What the second brother needs most now is to establish prestige in front of outsiders. Only with prestige can he gain a better foothold in Fang's Medicine Hall, so I have to borrow the elder brother's help The marriage is a special occasion, so that everyone must understand one thing now, second brother has my full support behind him, then his prestige in the village will be greatly improved."

Fang Hong's strategy is very simple. He lends his power to his second brother Fang Ping, so that he can gain a foothold in the family business of Fang's Medicine Hall. Even if someone is dissatisfied, he dare not say anything. Use time to prove to everyone that he is capable of taking on the big responsibility, and then everyone will be able to change from oral dissatisfaction to oral conviction.

The old man's rank is very high, just hearing what he said, he quickly understood Fang Hong's intentions, and suddenly laughed and cursed: "Where did you learn this trick, you brat?"

A twenty-year-old young man can have such careful consideration and hide it so deeply, which really surprised the old man again. I thought this grandson was showing off, but I didn't expect his real purpose to be this.

Handing over the future of the whole village to Fang Hong, the old man became more and more at ease, and more and more confident that he could run Fang's medicine hall.

In fact, after Fang Hong did this, when Fang Ping proved his ability to convince everyone, it would also increase Fang Hong's prestige in the family.

Because when everyone was convinced by Fang Hong, it also indirectly proved Fang Hong's knowledge and responsibility, so in the future, no one would dare to dissatisfy whoever he wanted to go up or down.

Although it is possible to directly use power to decide who goes up and who goes down, it is obviously not enough, and people have to be convinced. Only in this way can he obey and play a positive role. God will cause you a big trouble.

Fang Hong would never use it for those who refused to accept him, and if he did, he would never be assigned to a key position.

If you have no prestige in front of the people under your command and refuse to accept you, the result of using him is that one day he will turn his back on him. If he is assigned to an important position over time, he will feel that he is no worse than you, and even have the illusion that he is better than you.

Even if such a person has the ability, he will not use it. The more capable he is, the greater the destructive power, and the greater the damage caused by backlash. .

After Fang Hong's explanation, the old man no longer objected.

Fang Hong also knew that he had to do things in the future, and the old man would basically not object to him, as long as he informed the old man.

Because the old man knew that although his grandson was young, he was measured, thoughtful, considerate, and arranged reasonably. He knew how to hide his clumsiness and dared to show it.

...

In the next few days, the most lively event in the whole village will be Fang Ping's wedding, and it will not only be spread in the village, because the purchase of ingredients, such as raw pork, is not enough for the whole village to raise pigs that can be slaughtered. Going to the county to purchase, and thus spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages.

A wedding was prepared with a budget of 3 million yuan. In this era, in a village, it is definitely a ceiling-level specification.

The betrothal gift given was also beyond the standard, a million-dollar gift, and a lot of money to marry a wife, who married a perfect body, knowledgeable and gifted, virtuous and virtuous.

The wedding specifications strictly follow the process of traditional etiquette and customs, namely: three books and six ceremonies, eight large sedan chairs, ten miles of red makeup, phoenix crown and Xiapei.

With such a high standard, even Fang Jingshu and her natal family were flattered by it, let alone other villagers.

...

Time came to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which was the wedding day of Fang Ping and Fang Jingshu.

Today's wedding day is even more lively, and the clan ancestral halls in the village have also been opened. Thousands of people in the village, including relatives and friends, attended the wedding banquet today. The number of people attending the wedding banquet reached more than 5,000. The scene was spectacular .

According to the traditional wedding customs, we welcome the relatives in the morning and visit the church at dusk.

Fang Ping has already gone to greet the bride, while Fang Hong is in his old house. Fang Zheng and his cousins, including Fang Hong's uncles and aunts, are rushing around to help with various matters related to the wedding.

At this moment, in a room of the old house, Fang Hong's cousins ​​and sisters-in-law were more than a dozen people in the room, and the whole room was full of red envelopes.

After a while, Fang Hong entered the room carrying a sack of hundred-yuan bills, all of which were brand new hundred-yuan bills.

Fang Hong looked at his cousins ​​and sisters-in-law with a smile and said, "Everyone puts 100 yuan in cash in each red envelope."

All the cousins ​​nodded their heads one after another. The cousins ​​present were actually older than Fang Hong, but the current brothers of the same generation seemed to be headed by him.

Everyone immediately got to work, putting one hundred yuan in each of the empty red envelopes. The little loli Fang Shiyan was also in this room, helping to put money into the red envelopes with a serious face.

Fang Hong fondled little Lolita's little head and said with a smile, "One hundred yuan in a red envelope."

Little Lolita said excitedly, "I know."

A sister-in-law who was present said with a smile: "It must be very spectacular to distribute red envelopes at the wedding."

These thousands of red envelopes are for those who come, but everyone who comes to the wedding can get one, and feel happy.

Hearing what she said, Fang Hong shook his head repeatedly and said, "These red envelopes must not be thrown away. There are more than 5,000 people attending the wedding. With so many people gathered, it is very easy to cause stampede accidents due to looting."

For this wedding, Fang Hong invited people from the village brigade to organize a group of villagers to maintain order. Thousands of people gathered. What Fang Hong was most worried about was that there might be trouble.

The sister-in-law couldn't help but nodded when she heard it: "That's right, Brother Hong is still thoughtful."

Fang Hong said with a smile: "During the dinner, when all the guests are seated, I would like to trouble everyone to give out red envelopes to each of the guests. The cousins ​​and sisters-in-law are discussing with each other to be in charge of a division."

Everyone nodded.

Fangzheng was sitting at a table on the other side of the room. He was recording the red envelopes that came with the guests who came to the wedding, and his hands were already numb.

After a while, Fangzheng looked at Fang Hong and said with a smile, "Cousin, the statistics have been finished. How do you arrange the red envelopes in return?"

For the red envelopes returned by guests, the village usually returns about 20% of the guest's gift money.

Fang Hong said without hesitation: "As much as the gift money and red envelopes that the guests receive with the gift, the gift will be doubled according to this amount, 100 back to 200, 50 back to 100 and so on."

Hearing this, Fangzheng glanced at the notebook in his hand, and immediately said: "Most of the red envelope gifts are tens of dollars, so you need a lot of change, and the bank is not working, where can I get so much money?"

When withdrawing the money, Fang Hong didn’t take any change, so Fang Hong immediately decided decisively: “That’s how it is, after doubling, those who are less than 100 will receive 100 rewards, and those who exceed 100 will receive 200 rewards. Whole numbers, for example, those in the 500s will be added directly to 600, those in the 800s will be added to 900, and so on.”

Fangzheng nodded when he heard it: "Okay, I understand."

The cousins ​​and sisters-in-law who were present were also dizzy for a while. Fang Hong's few words, the extra cost would be two to three hundred thousand yuan, and this wedding might not be able to cover the three million yuan each.

If the guests who accompanied the gift looked back and saw that the host returned the gift twice as much as their gift, they would probably regret it. If they had known earlier, they should have followed the gift more.

The cousins ​​and sisters-in-law who were present were also very happy. Cousin Fang Hong is so generous, and he would definitely give Zhang Luo a lot of hard work if he came to help Zhang Luo. This wedding is known to be grand, and everyone in the village knows that Fang Hong gave his second brother all the money.

At this moment, Fang Zheng's father called Fang Hong's name outside to let him deal with other matters, and he also left the room immediately.

As soon as Fang Hong left, all the cousins ​​and sisters-in-law started chatting.

"Hey, we haven't followed the ceremony yet. Can you tell me how much ceremony is more appropriate?"

"This is really a headache."

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Fangzheng looked at the little loli Fang Shiyan and said with a smile, "Yanyan, go get that pen for uncle, okay?"

Little Lolita nodded: "Yeah~"

Fang Shiyan left the room. Everyone saw that Fang Zheng had obviously dismissed the little girl who didn't know the truth. After all, she was 11 years old, so they all looked at Fang Zheng. As expected, Fang Zheng looked at everyone and said, "I suggest that everyone stay in their own Just follow the etiquette within the scope of your ability, the most important thing is your heart, and you must prefer to follow less than to follow too much, just follow 100 of my words."

All the cousins ​​and sisters-in-law couldn't help but nodded. They felt that what Fang Zheng said was very reasonable. It was inappropriate to say less, and it was even more inappropriate to say too much, because everyone just heard what Fang Hong said. Doubling it, if there is too much, it will directly expose the greed for cheap.

Everyone also believed that Fang Hong would definitely reciprocate the gift, but...how embarrassing.

What's more, when the brothers of the same generation present were eating the New Year's Eve dinner, they saw Fang Hong chatting and laughing with a group of elders with ease.

It's been a few days and I'm still impressed. I already feel a little shorter psychologically. If I do this again, will I have to be shorter in front of Fang Hong in the future?

It is worth mentioning that Fang Zheng knew about Fang's Medicine Hall, but only five people knew about this matter, namely the two old men, Fang Hong, Fang Zheng and Fang Ping.

Fang Hong specifically explained to Fang Zheng that this matter must be kept secret, and everything is under his arrangement. Fang Zheng is a man as his name suggests, an upright gentleman, so naturally he keeps his mouth shut.

Except for the five of them, no one else in the village knew anything about Fang's Medicine Hall.

At the same time, the clan brothers present quickly reached a consensus that they all follow 100.

...

As time went by, the wedding process progressed steadily, and the church was called at dusk.

The wedding dinner was held as scheduled, and thousands of people sat and shared the dinner, accompanied by a fireworks ceremony that was more grand than New Year's Eve.

Today, for Fang Jingshu, it was a day like a dream. She was so happy that words could not describe it. Her fate also changed drastically, and every girl present, especially the unmarried ones, was envious of her.

...

In the night, Fang Hong looked at the hustle and bustle of the banquet venue full of fireworks. He was so busy that he stayed here alone and lit a cigarette quietly. Today was a tossing enough, and he will have to continue to toss later.

Fang Hong did not go to be the best man, but let the clan brothers take charge of this matter.

As the dishes began to be served, the first dish was served, and the time it had just been placed on the table for a while... It was gone. This situation was happening on many tables in various banquet venues.

After all, it comes with the gift, and the guests thought that they must eat back their money!

Especially for those who brought their children to the wedding banquet, they rushed to use their hands even when a dish was served, and it was sold out at once. The parents of some children had probably instructed their children before they came, and the dishes on the table Time to act quickly.

Looking at the scene in the night, Fang Hong couldn't help but burst out laughing. In fact, he had expected this scene a long time ago, and even thought that some guests would bring some food home at the banquet.

We are all rural people. In this day and age, it is not possible to eat meat for ten years. Some families even eat meat for a few days. It is not surprising that a plate of meat is sold out immediately after it is served.

For tonight's wedding banquet, Fang Hong prepared enough ingredients. Each meal of meat was calculated as more than three catties per person. More than 150 live pigs were slaughtered that day, and the average pig weighed about 200 catties. Almost all the free-range pigs in the village were collected, and many were bought from the county town.

In addition to pork and mutton, hundreds of sheep were purchased, and these two meats alone cost nearly 500,000 yuan. With so much meat, there are only two meals for more than 5,000 people, that is, one lunch and one dinner. .

The total budget of this wedding, including food, tobacco and alcohol, is in the millions.

Fang Hong is every guest who is going to be present. More than 5,000 people can eat and drink enough, and they can take home some leftovers. The large temporary back kitchen area is still slaughtering pigs and sheep. People are busy in the back kitchen, and they are all eaten by folks in the village.

Just one-third of the time after the banquet, a group of cousins ​​and sisters-in-law began to arrive at the various banquet venues. Everyone carried a big basket filled with red envelopes as a base, and then they sat one table at a time. For the distribution, each person will be given a red envelope, regardless of adults or children, everyone will have a red envelope.

At this time, the guests are all sitting and eating and drinking vigorously. The good time at this time is the best time to give out red envelopes.

The people at the tables in the back also cast their gazes, seeing that when the red envelopes were distributed, the people in the tables in the back were a little anxious, looking at so many people, they were afraid that they would not be able to get them.

But seeing the basket of red envelopes, I felt relieved.

"I wish the newlyweds an early birth to a precious son!"

"A hundred years together, a hundred years together!"

"I wish the newlyweds will be united forever and grow old together."

"Give birth to a precious child early!"

"Give birth to a precious child early!"

The guests who received the red envelopes sent congratulatory messages one after another, and the most frequent congratulatory message was "to give birth to a precious child early". As for the people in the back row, they gradually began to turn into repeaters.

Some of the people who received the red envelope couldn't wait to open it and take a look. They were overjoyed to see a brand new red note. In this era, many people in the village who go out to work can earn a hundred yuan. Have to work four days.

At this time, Fang Hong, who was alone, received a call, quickly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped his feet, hung up the phone, and left the place. Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the temporary back kitchen area.

The more than one hundred folks gathered here are still busy cooking. They haven't eaten yet. They have to work until ten o'clock before they have free time to eat. They just set up a place in the back kitchen to eat, no accidents. I have to fight for wine, food and drink until two or three o'clock in the morning.

Fang Hong came to the back kitchen area and gave out a 500 yuan red envelope to each of the folks gathered here. When he went to the village, he did as the Romans did. These folks who cook and cook are basically smokers, so naturally they have to hand out a pack of cigarettes , I have to put a few cigarettes here.

It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening, and the wedding finally came to an end.

The marriage of the second brother Fang Ping was resolved, which helped his family to increase its influence. However, it is still too early for the project of Fang's Medicine Hall to be finally implemented. No matter how efficient it is, it will take three months to announce it to the villagers. This is just an announcement, and it will take some time before the official launch of Fang's Medicine Hall.

Fang Hong's overall layout is not just in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. Although he is a hands-off shopkeeper, with the spread of the strategic territory, it will take a lot of time to make decisions even if he uses his mouth to issue orders.

Although Xincheng University will not start school until after February 13 after the winter vacation, Fang Hong decided to return to Xincheng the day after tomorrow, that is, the weekend of February 1. The important thing in February is to deploy overseas markets. Huayu should It is almost the same to create 300 million US dollars of offshore funds and a trading environment.

In the next February, Fang Hong's first task is to reap a huge profit in the overseas market, and everything he has to do will cost money.
