Delicate Flower Chapter 82: Strategy
When Pei Yan first looked at the nautical map, he was a little careless because he had seen many charts, but the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became.
Is there anything wrong with this map?
Although Yu Tang was confident in her inference, she was facing Pei Yan, who had won the Jinshi at a young age. He had watched politics in the six ministries of the capital and was well-informed. She couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart. Doubt yourself.
Pei Yan secretly took a breath of cold air.
He looked at the map carefully again.
Yu Tang couldn't hold it back in the end, and said with some trepidation: "Third Master, this map..."
Pei Yan dropped the concave-convex mirror in his hand on the copied map, frowned, and walked to the small round table next to the desk with a solemn expression. He pointed to the armchair next to the round table and said, "Let's sit down. Speak."
Yu Wen and Yu Tang couldn't help but exchange a bewildered look, and then sat down carefully.
Pei Yan personally refilled a cup of tea for the father and daughter, and then said to them in a deep voice: "Can you tell me the detailed story of how you discovered this map?"
Yu Wen looked at Pei Yan's solemn expression and knew that this matter was likely to be very important. He did not dare to add fuel to the fire, and was afraid that his unclear words would affect Pei Yan's judgment. He pointed at Yu Tang and said, "This matter It was you who discovered it, or you should explain it to the third master."
Yu Tang organized his language and told what happened in detail.
During this period, Pei Yan listened carefully.
The father and daughter's words were very similar, which shows that it was purely an accident that the Yu family found out about this matter.
In other words, the Li family knew there was something wrong with this painting.
This also involves the Peng family of Fu'an.
Pei Yan waited until Yu Tang finished speaking, thought for a while, and said, "I thought this was just an ordinary map. Since your family didn't want to get involved in this dispute, I came up with an idea to help your family get out of trouble. ——Take out this map, and the Pei family will act as the client and auction it for you. The highest bidder will get it. Your family can not only get some money, but also get rid of this matter in a legitimate way. This can be regarded as a good thing that Mr. Yu has done. remuneration."
When Yu Tang heard this, his eyes lit up.
This idea from Mr. Pei San is really great!
Rather than being secretive and making people suspect that they already know the contents of the map, it is better to auction it publicly and let those who are capable, powerful, and able to protect themselves. You have the ability to cause trouble for others. Don't bully them Yu family.
The Yu family is just an ordinary merchant.
Hearing Pei Yan's tone, it seems that he can't do this now.
Yu Tang was anxious and couldn't help but interrupt Pei Yan's words and said eagerly: "Then why can't it work now? Third Master, you are really amazing. You came up with such a good idea in the blink of an eye."
She is willing to flatter you.
If the Pei family is willing to be the middleman to help their family auction this map, they can completely take it out. Moreover, the people who have the ability to take pictures of this map cannot be from an unknown family. Even if they are not as prominent as the Fu'an Peng family, they are probably not that easy to mess with.
The Li family will look better then.
The map that they worked so hard and spent so much energy to get is not the only one, so what else can they do in front of the Peng family?
She looked at Pei Yan eagerly.
Yu Wen also looked at Pei Yan eagerly and said, "Is there something wrong with this map? Although this map was copied by others, the person who copied it was very skilled and secretly stamped it with a private seal. ”
In case something goes wrong, I wonder if the money-changing master is still useful?
Pei Yan was shocked to realize that he had unintentionally betrayed him. He smiled and said: "It's not that there's anything wrong with this map, it's that this map is too precious. Whether it should be auctioned or used to buy shares in a store, you have to make up your own mind."
Isn’t this smile too bright?
At that moment, it was as if the ice and snow melted and the earth returned to spring. His whole face seemed to be glowing, so handsome that people could not look directly at it.
Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan's face, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
He should actually smile this time.
I am so lucky to see Pei Yan's sincere smile twice in one day.
Yu Tang was amazed in his heart, not daring to think too much, and looked towards his father.
I saw my father's expression sluggish, as if he had been hit in the head by the news.
She quickly called out "Dad".
Yu Wen was startled and his mind began to spin again.
The Yu family's family is very poor. This map is too precious. Holding it in their hands is like a three-year-old child dancing with a big knife. They can't lift it at all. They will either cut others or themselves. Judging from the current situation, the chance of them being cut is much greater than the chance of cutting others.
Yu Wen immediately made a decision. He said: "Third Master, what kind of map is this? How can it be as valuable as you said? If we imagine what you said and still invite the Pei family to be the intermediary, can we auction this map?"
Pei Yan was quite surprised, but his eyes fell on Yu Tang.
He knew that the eldest lady of the Yu family was very independent, and Yu Wen might not be able to control her.
Yu Tang agrees with his father's decision.
Eat as much rice as the bowl has.
Eating from the bowl and looking at the person in the pot usually doesn't end well.
Although she is also curious about how precious this map is, the most important thing is how to save the Yu family from this tornado-like incident. The whole family is safe and sound.
Yu Tang nodded quickly towards Pei Yan and expressed his opinion.
Pei Yan smiled to himself.
He suddenly knew why he was willing to help the Yu family.
It's not that Miss Yu is beautiful or that Yu Wen is open-minded, but that the people in the Yu family have always seen things clearly.
Even if you are extremely wealthy, you still have to be able to bear it.
He has seen too many people lose their way in the clouds of power.
Including himself as a young man.
This is the most valuable thing about the Yu family.
Especially Miss Yu - Yu Wen has such a temperament, which is related to his age and experience. It can be seen from the fact that he no longer takes the exams, which is not surprising. But the young Miss Yu also has such a broad mind and magnanimity, which is impressive.
He took a deep look at Yu Tang and decided to help the Yu family in this matter again.
"Although they are both maritime businesses, do you know that there are several types of maritime businesses?" Pei Yan put aside his joking and said solemnly, "At that time, there were three shipping companies, one was Ningbo, the other was Quanzhou. The first is Guangzhou. The sea route is either to Sulu, Siam or Ceylon, but your map is for Dashi."
Yu Wen and Yu Tang looked at each other with their heads spinning.
Where is Sulu? Where is Ceylon? Is eating big important?
Yu Tang didn't want his father to lose face in front of Pei Yan, so he said before his father could say anything: "Third Master, what do you mean by this? Is it because there are very few ships going to Dashi? So this map is very valuable? ”
"No!" Pei Yan saw that neither father nor daughter understood this, and explained carefully, "I hope to use the existing fleet, whether it is to Sulu or Siam, in the end. These things can be sold to Dashi. Because Dashi is a very wealthy kingdom. In the past, none of us knew how to go directly to Dashi, so we could only sell the goods to Sulu, Siam and other places, and then use their Merchants sell things to Dashi. This map of yours is a new route, a route that we wanted to go but have never been able to go. And this route is from Guangzhou, which makes it even more precious. ."
Yu Wen and his daughter still didn’t understand.
Pei Yan told them: "Because of the Japanese pirates, the imperial court has wanted to close the sea several times. In particular, the shipping departments in Ningbo and Quanzhou have been locked up once each. Recently, some courtiers have proposed to abolish them. The Municipal Shipping Departments of these two places. If the court resolution passes, the Shipping Departments of these two places may be abolished again. The fleet will have no choice but to leave Guangzhou. Tell me, is this map of yours precious? ?"
Both Yu Wen and Yu Tang’s eyes widened.
In other words, their home is even more dangerous.
The father and daughter couldn't help but said in unison: "Auction! Mr. Pei San, this map is ready for auction."
Yu Wen even thought that the auction was not safe, so he changed his mind and said: "Master Pei San, do you want to do maritime business? How about I give this map to you? We don't want money. Just think of it as a reward for helping Zhuo Jing. I'm looking for a thank you gift from the doctor."
Pei Yan's face turned dark.
He did good deeds, and actually did so by taking advantage of others!
Yu Tang felt that what his father said was too straightforward, as if he was passing the blame. When he looked at Pei Yan again, his face was dark, her mind was spinning faster than ever before, and she was speaking quickly. Come out: "Dad, you are wrong. If Mr. Pei San wants this map, he can just trade with us directly. How can he say that he will act as a guarantor for our family and auction this map?"
"Yes, yes!" Yu Wen realized that he had said the wrong thing and smiled sarcastically at Pei Yan.
Yu Tang was afraid that Pei Yan would just throw it away.
Only a family like the Pei family can invite aristocratic families with the same power as the Peng family to participate in the auction, so as to ensure the safety of their family.
She kept spouting out her kind words as if they were in vain: "The third master is not such a person! You don't know, I met the third master when I went to the Pei family's **** shop..." She crackled the two words I told Yu Wen about several chance encounters with people.
Yu Wen was ashamed~IndoMTL.com~ apologized to Pei Yan: "I was the one who said something out of my mind..."
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang's red little mouth opening and closing, feeling as if there were hundreds of sparrows chirping around him, and his head felt a little painful.
He interrupted Yu Tang: "Okay, okay, don't mention the past anymore."
Yu Tang did not mention the past and continued to support Pei Yan: "But I think what you said is really reasonable. The best way is to auction it. However, since this map is so precious, what do you think? , can we ask someone to make a few more copies, and then auction them all. I have heard my uncle say since I was a child that eating alone is the most taboo thing in business. If you eat alone, everyone will be jealous, and they will gang up to deal with you. If more families do business together, they can't be jealous of every family, right?"
Pei Yan simply didn’t know what to say.
This little girl was playing tricks with him.
I was afraid that the Yu family would not be able to stay out of the matter, so I just said it. Isn't it just because of the Pei family that he, Pei Yan, would take the blame for taking such a big detour?
