"This is a good thing. The Grand Hyatt Hotel also needs to expand. Do you have their detailed information?" Li Cong said.

"Yes. I have brought all the information this time. You can take a look. If possible, it would be better for us to contact them quickly. Each of these people is looking at this piece of fat.

I heard that some people from the capital who specialize in this are eyeing them." Yang Guang handed a piece of information to Li Cong. They didn't have such a habit in the past, that is, they followed Li Cong.

From then on, I learned that writing down all aspects of the materials and then handing them over to the boss is much more efficient.

This VIP restaurant has its own stores in Yandong Province and the three surrounding provinces. The scale is quite large, mainly because some large-scale catering groups have not appeared in this era. Generally speaking, a county or city has

There are several good restaurants competing. There are very few chain restaurants that can open in so many provinces. There are a few in Beijing, but they are not very big, that is, the one opened by Li Cong.

This grain store and trading house made them feel that a national chain store was a good choice. However, they did not have such financial resources in a short period of time, and even Li Cong needed to use something as disgraceful as genetic medicine.

"You can go back and follow up on this matter. I looked at this information and I think the restaurants in these three provincial capitals, forty-seven county towns, and 162 county towns are all in economically developed areas. We'd better all

Buy it, even if you can't buy it, you have to buy some major ones. Those who can be retained by the original staff can be retained, and there is nothing we can do about those that cannot be retained." Li Cong handed the information to Yang Guang again,

The amount of funds that need to be used in this aspect is not a small amount. Li Cong has already seen it just now. If all these places can be bought, it will cost at least 8.536 billion silver. Li Cong can get this money, but it is so much

Senior managers are not what Li Cong can come up with. Nowadays, learning is not that fast, so we can only use their original people.

"I will follow up on this matter when I get back. If this is the case, can the iron ore matter at my sister's side be stopped? Otherwise, will there be problems with the funds?" The guy said worriedly. After all, he

I don’t know how huge the cash flow Li Cong has. Money is a bit tight for Li Cong now, but it is also because trillions of silver are so tight. Tens of billions of silver are really nothing to Li Cong.

What Li Cong wants now is to let all the money in his hands go, so that they can go where they should go and not let rust form in their rings.

Purchasing Tuoba's assets caused Li Cong to spend most of his working capital. However, recently, a lot of funds have come back from various places, and the main reason is that the airship is making money so fast.

Li Cong has not been refining elixirs or making magic arrows for a long time. He just wants to sell some in his trading house. That kind of selling physical strength is no longer necessary now and can only be done in the most urgent cases.

Only then would Li Cong do such a thing.

Li Cong has also thought about the shipping on the Yulan River. Now, in addition to the Yang family and the Mu family, the royal family can actually discuss it with them. The royal family also leaves it to the imperial merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for cooperation.

Yes, although these imperial merchants look powerful on the outside, they are just the emperor's own slaves. It's just that their masters are more powerful, so they are superior to other slaves. Li Cong sees this kind of thing

It's very thorough, but I can't say it myself. It's better to let the little princess say it. Naturally, the emperor doesn't care about the profits of the royal fleet. There should be no problem if the little princess speaks, and every year.

It was just a few billions of silver. For the little princess's status with the emperor, this was a very simple matter, so Li Cong wrote a letter to the little princess.

The content of the letter is to ask her to mention this matter to the emperor. No matter whether it is successful or not, at least the emperor must know that they have this intention. The next thing will be relatively simple. If the emperor agrees, he will agree. If he doesn't agree, there is nothing he can do about it.

?

In terms of income, it is the same as that of the Magician's Guild. They all have their own spies, and I don't want to show that I favor one over the other just for this little money. That would have a very big impact on me in the future.

Soon, Yang Hao and Yang Chuan came back four days later with good news. The Yang family had agreed to hand over the business on the Yulan River to Li Cong, but there was only one condition. About 3,000 boat trips must be arranged every year

Giving it to the Yang family, because they needed to transport some things themselves, was simply not a condition, so Yang Chuan helped Li Cong agree.

"Brother-in-law, I did one more thing. I thought 3,000 shipping times was nothing, so I agreed, and I said there was no need for freight. I don't know if this is okay..." Yang Chuan was a little bit

He looked at Li Cong anxiously. He didn't know what Li Cong was going to do, but intuitively he could feel that Li Cong didn't care about it.

"Haha, it's up to you to make the decision on this kind of thing. If this is the case, we have to move faster. You can report it directly and ask all the people from your Yang family fleet to come to these two ports. Is that right there?

Do you have a base?" Li Cong pointed to two places on the map and said, according to the money given to the Yang family and the taxes paid, the daily cost of these ships is more than three million taels of silver, plus some sailors'

Salary or something, 4 million taels of silver is stable, and time is money. Spending so much money every day but not being able to make money back, Li Cong can't accept this, and he can't stand it.

"Yes, these are the two largest bases of our Yang family on the Yulan River. Brother-in-law, do you want to modify the ship?" Yang Hao seemed to have understood what Li Cong meant. Li Cong had said it before

I need to speed up the boat a little bit.

"Yes. I want them all to come here for collective transformation." Li Cong nodded and said.

"Brother-in-law, there is actually no need to ask them all to come back. We still have 7,000 spare ships. It is better to modify the spare ships first and ask them to continue their transportation. As long as the ships we appear on the river are not

It would be nice to have so many, so you don't need to lose so much every day." This is what Yang Hao thought of. Li Cong really didn't expect that his playful and smiling brother-in-law could think of such problems. He really looked down on this kid.

Already.

"Haha, your method is good, but it doesn't matter. I just want to complete the modification at once, so that I won't have to deal with it in batches. By the way, you can gather most of the craftsmen here.

, there are also some ship bosses and first mates who want people we can trust to do this. As for the remaining people, there is no need to come over. This group of people does not need to be too many, about three to four thousand people are enough.

"Li Cong said, Li Cong wants to give genetic medicine to these people. There are so many other people, but it is not necessary for everyone to drink it. Li Cong cannot afford such a high price.

"That's no problem, brother-in-law. My brother used to be the boss of the fleet, and I know more or less from him. But now my brother has been transferred to the east by the family. He doesn't want to leave here. Can you let him also?

How about joining in?" Yang Chuan said, his brother had managed the transport fleet on the Yulan River very well in the past.

"Let's talk about this later. Now the family may be very dissatisfied with me taking over the fleet. If I continue to dictate some personnel changes in the family, I'm afraid it may have the opposite effect. Not only will I not be able to let you

If my brother stays here, some other bad things may happen, which will be of no benefit to him." Li Cong said, and Yang Chuan also nodded. He still didn't think it through. In fact, that was not what Li Cong was thinking about.

Regarding these issues, what Li Cong was thinking about was that people like Yang Chuan and others who had not been exposed to family affairs could naturally follow him, but those who already had certain rights in the Yang family were different. Each of these people

Maybe it was a spy from the Yang family who came in.

"I think the two of you brothers are in charge of the Yang family's fleet. Yang Chuan, you will be the boss, and Yang Hao, you will be the second. I think there are still some shortcomings in the management of the two of you, but neither of them are.

It is something you are born with. As long as you follow some of the steps in the past, I think there will be no problem. I know that your family will definitely arrange your future. But now I think you should believe me. I will arrange it for you.

Your future will definitely be much better than the arrangement within your family. What do you think?" Li Cong said. Li Cong knew that some people in the fleet would definitely be dissatisfied with him, and he did not have so many genetic medicines.

It is unrealistic to give them all the food in the fleet. There are millions of people in the entire fleet. Naturally, I do not have that many genetic medicines. The only way to do this is to let people from the Yang family come forward to control them. This is the most important thing.

, the people below may not know what happened at all. In their opinion, this is Yang Chuan taking over the rule of his brother, or the Yang family is their master, and it would be best if they don't show up.

"I can see that you two are hesitant. You are both direct descendants of the Yang family, but don't forget that your Yang family practices the eldest son inheritance system. Both of your fathers are the lords of the same county.

, are you qualified to be the city lord? I don’t think so. There are several brothers above you, and they are all much older than you. They are almost ready for this right and other things. You

We don’t have enough power to do this. I think it would be great if you can become a county magistrate or something in the future. Are you willing to be a county magistrate in the future, or are you willing to work with me to fight for a future we don’t know?"

Li Cong's words are very contagious. Several of them are passionate young people, and a few of them are not as good as Yang Hao and others. What can a county magistrate do? The Yang family's development space is Yandong Province, and the others

There is no place at all. Their days have long been limited to that place.

"Brother-in-law, you are right. I can also see that the family's eldest son inheritance system is of no benefit to us people. No matter how hard we work and struggle at home, our final result will be the same.

That's it. Just like what you said, if you are lucky, you can be assigned to a county magistrate or something, and you can have the addiction of being in charge of hundreds of thousands of people. If you are unlucky, there will be no such thing. Maybe a

I just want to live as a petty official in the county. I don’t want such a life. I will follow you." Yang Hao was very close to Li Cong from the beginning, and Li Cong could also see that this guy has no brains.

, but he is very honest. Such a person should not have a good future in the Yang family where the family struggle is very fierce. It would be better if he followed him, at least he would not cheat this guy.

"Brother-in-law, I will follow you. I was hesitant at first, but now I understand that the family will give us a predetermined route, and they will not let us make our own decisions unless

Like my sister, we all have the ability to be a sixth-level warrior at a young age. Unfortunately, we don't have that ability. Even if we have better brains, there are hundreds of direct descendants of our generation in the family who have good brains.

There are no shortage of one or two. The stage given to us by the family is only so big. It is impossible for us to develop. The stage for my brother-in-law is very big." Yang Chuan thought for a while and said, he is a

People with brains, after weighing the pros and cons, would be better off following Li Cong.

"Haha, the stage I give you is very big. It will depend on whether you have the ability to show your own style on my stage." Li Cong said, and his words seemed to make all these people watch.

Just as how wonderful his future is, there are several other direct descendants of the Yang family, and they are not the eldest sons of the family. Compared with some of the descendants who were born from common concubines, they are lucky, but it is a pity that they are not the eldest son.

According to the ancestral rules, none of them can have good titles or official positions. They can only honestly go to some remote places to become mountain kings. This is not what they want. Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have their own kind.

They also all have their own dreams, and they will realize them.

In fact, when Yang Hao went back this time, he felt that it was different from before. Every time his elder brother saw him, he would lecture him. It was just why he didn't learn well. He knew how to spend time every day.

The money in the family was used for mischief, but when he took out a banknote of 1.5 million taels in front of his father, his brothers were dumbfounded. Their expressions made Yang Hao feel very happy. He was here to bribe them.

They didn't expect that one day this incompetent guy like themselves would be the one to bribe them. They said a lot of good things to them at the family meeting, and they all got what they needed. Their father took the 800,000 taels he gave him.

Yinzi bought a very luxurious house in Nancheng for his concubine who had no idea how old he was. Everything in it was extremely luxurious. The eldest brother took the 300,000 taels of silver he gave to invite several uncles in the family.

After playing well for a while, he needs the support of these uncles. He needs to take over everything in the family after his father is ignored. These uncles are his biggest trouble, so he must deal with them now. The second brother uses his own

The one hundred thousand taels of silver given... Thinking that those people had accomplished these things by themselves, Yang Hao felt very happy in his heart. He was on the same level as them, and they would do it again in the future.

There are more things to ask for on your own.

Because Yang Chuan's status in the family is much higher than that of Yang Hao, he has not yet felt such immediate effects. However, the elders in the family are very supportive of what he is doing. Many people say that they have grown up.

Although they would say such words in the past, they knew very well whether it was a compliment or not. It was definitely not the same as now. What they said now should be what they said in their hearts.

Can be distinguished.

That night, Li Cong prepared to entertain these guys at the VIP building here. They were considered his heroes. Without them, it would have been impossible for him to easily win the share of the Yang family's fleet.

, they deserve to be entertained like this. Of course, Li Cong also has his own plans, such as going to this VIP building to see what is going on and whether he is worthy of his own action. This is the most important thing.

The reason is that you can't follow that guy just because Yang Guang said he was going to be acquired here. Yang Guang has never done anything similar before, so it's better to keep him in check. If you like this work
