From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 285 The Wang Family’s First Vote

Just as Sun Guoan ran out of the study, in the Wang family mansion in the southeast of the imperial capital, a dozen elders in the capital and one or two younger generations of the direct lineage had been arguing for a long time about the affairs of Hengzhou City.

Wang Deqiang rubbed his numb scalp and said gloomily, "Don't argue. Since the guy from the Sun family has proposed this new thing called a ticket, let's take it as a reference today. If most people agree, we can go to Hengzhou for the auction. If not, forget it."

As he spoke, Wang Deqiang felt that as the clan leader, he was at a disadvantage.

So, he added: "As the head of the clan, I certainly can't just count as one vote. How many votes do you think should be counted?"

This made the dozen or so old men unable to react for a while.

When did it become a vote?

Besides, why should your one vote count as several votes?

If your one vote is worth five or six votes from everyone else, then won't you be the only one who has the final say in the future?

Wang Deshan, who is relatively young and has been managing the trade of two important materials, salt and iron, for his family, saw an opportunity.

If I join forces with most people in the future, I can sideline this old ghost, right?

Even knocked him to the ground.

He immediately raised his hand and said, "I agree, Brother Qiang. I personally think that your vote should be counted as two votes. After all, you are the head of the clan and you should lead everyone forward."

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Wang Deqiang smiled up to the sky. He originally thought that his vote would count as three votes.

But after looking at everyone's faces, the old men from other rooms seemed to think two votes were too much, so they stopped smiling and said, "Okay, then I'll give you two votes. If there are any difficult decisions in the future, we'll do it this way to avoid endless arguments."

Then, he said with a sullen face, "Raise your hands if you agree to auction it off!"

I saw a dozen old men in the lobby looking at each other.

For a moment, no one wanted to express their opinion first.

At this time, Wang Deshan raised his hand decisively: "I agree!"

At this point, several more radical old men immediately raised their hands and said, “I agree too!”

Wang Deqiang looked at the remaining few who were silent, and raised his hand helplessly: "I agree!"

This time, even if my vote was worth two votes, it would just tie with the rest.

Just when he was about to say something, Wang Deshan said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, maybe there are still people who neither agree nor disagree, and are standing in the middle."

Wang Deshan was slightly stunned. This was really possible.

I couldn't help but take a glance and felt that this old man was quite smart. I decided to let him lead the team to Hengzhou. It just so happened that he knew more about smelting.

"Those who disagree, please raise your hands?"

Wang Deyi, who had been ridiculed since returning from Hengzhou, felt as if he had been raped. He immediately raised his hand and shouted in a shrill voice: "I don't agree. That guy surnamed Sun is such a bastard. I might be cheated again!"

Wang Deqiang's face turned serious after hearing this: "Just raise your hand, and we'll talk about the rest during the research."

Following Wang Deyi’s raising of his hand, several other old men raised their hands.

Finally, there were two old men who hadn't said much, as if they hadn't noticed everyone's gazes at all.

Wang Deyi was relieved now: "Okay, let's do this. Our Wang family will take a portion of the shares this time no matter what. It would be best if we can take all of them."

Wang Deyi saw that things had come to this, and said unwillingly: "How can we take all of them? Would the people of the Mianyang Sun family have no ideas? Would the old Yang family have no ideas? There are so many people who want to take over Sun Shan's shares!"

These words made Wang Deqiang so choked up that he couldn't even breathe.

But the reality is indeed so. With the current development prospects of Datong Chamber of Commerce, everyone knows that once Datong Chamber of Commerce breaks through Hengzhou and Chuzhou Road, it will be like a beast and unstoppable.

Now, what everyone sees is not just the superficial things on Hengzhou’s territory, but they also want to go deeper into it.

Study it carefully, ponder it, and even possess it.

In fact, the Wang family is already on the road of learning. Last month, they also invested in a city that never sleeps, similar to the Red Mansion, named Mingyue Tower.

The service content and even the decoration style are basically the same.

But the consequences were not particularly ideal.

In such an expensive place in the capital, the investment was as high as more than 300 million taels, but in the end the daily income was not as good as that of the Red Mansion.

However, it is still much better than other brothels.

Later, everyone analyzed the situation and sent people to exchange experiences at the two places.

The ten people who participated in the experience gave full marks to Honglou, and gave their own Mingyue Tower a barely six points.

This may be due to the sake of our family.

"Let them think what they want. Do they have as much money as we do? I'll smash them to death!"

Wang Deqiang was irritated: "Since we have already voted to go, please stop making sarcastic remarks. Now let's think of some ideas on how to get the shares, who to send, and which people are suitable to send?"

"Brother Qiang, it's up to you who to send. It's better to send someone who is proficient in this area." Wang Deshan flattered and nodded, pointing to send someone who is proficient. Isn't this talking about himself?

Whether you go to an auction or join the Datong Chamber of Commerce, it is definitely suitable for doing business.

As an official or a scholar, what can you talk about? Do you have a common language?

Do you understand?

Don't let others scheme against you, you don't know your own limits.

Then he added: "It's useless to talk about this idea now. You can only use it after you buy it."

"Yes."

Wang Deyi nodded. The more he looked at Wang Deshan, the more satisfied he became. So he said, "Deshan, you will be the representative. How do you think we can get the photo? What's the appropriate price?"

As soon as this statement was made, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone stared at Wang Deshan with envy. Such a large-scale operation was led by Wang Deshan, which showed that he already had the ability to organize the overall situation.

In the future, you will be able to stand on your own.

"Thank you, thank you Brother Qiang for looking up to me and letting me lead the team in this game!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Deshan immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

Then, he went around and saluted the seniors and peers who were older than him and said, "Thank you all for your recognition of me. I will definitely do my best to get the best return."

After a round of greetings and laughter, Wang Deshan looked at Wang Deqiang who was sitting in the middle and said, "Brother Qiang, it would be best if you could give me a range and bring me some money to do the work. This way, we can avoid any mistakes at the auction."

In fact, Wang Deshan's words seemed to be handing the decision-making power to the clan leader Wang Deqiang.

In fact, he has already pushed away all the bad factors.

Let Wang Deqiang decide within what price range it is worth taking the picture.

You can buy as many shares as you bring with you.

But in fact, once the money is in your hands, you have the final say at the auction.

Wang Deyi, who was unable to react for a moment, smiled contentedly and thought for a moment: "I'll give you 500 million taels of silver notes. As for the price, you have to see how other people react. It's best not to exceed it by too much."

As he spoke, Wang Deqiang muttered, "We still don't know if Sun Shan will do anything weird. This kid never follows the routine."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yes, ever since this kid appeared, some weird ideas and weird things have appeared.

In today's imperial capital, many young people imitate Sun Shan, wearing ponytails, modified long gowns and short jackets, and some even start wearing two-piece suits.

At the beginning, many people cursed in an unruly manner.

But as time went by, everyone gradually adapted to it, and many people felt that it was better than the robes that were so bulky that they could fit a person's head.

This improved clothing not only saves fabric, but is also beautiful and practical.

After a moment's silence, Wang Deshan began to call out the names of the people to be sent along.

Moreover, he also sent his grandson, Wang Baoyu, who had been there once.

Because, it is said that Princess Kewei has been living in Prince Heng's Mansion.

This time, with his grandson's reputation as the most handsome man in the empire, if he can win the heart of Emperor Yuanfeng's favorite princess, it will be much better than Princess Ke Xin.

As for, if the empire collapses in the future, what will happen to his family and the Yang family, and what will happen to his grandson and Yang Kewei?

They were all small things that happened later.

The important thing is to grasp the present. The more strength you have, the more confidence you will have in the future.
