Chapter 185 Boss Murong was shocked!
After seeing Yu Niang.
Ye Chen's gaze was fixed on him.
After Yu Niang walked up to him slowly.
He just smiled slightly.
"Yu Niang, lead the way. I have something important to discuss with Boss Murong."
Ye Chen still had important things to do, so admiring beautiful women had to be put aside for the time being.
Yu Niang did not delay and took Ye Chen to the cottage by the lake.
At this moment, the lakeside cottage is very lively.
Around the tables, people were toasting each other, drinking and eating, and on the stage in the middle of the lake, there were singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere, and the music of stringed instruments could be heard.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The stage by the lake is now divided into four, facing different directions and put together like petals. On each stage there is a beautiful singer playing the piano or dancing.
So that all guests can see it.
Ye Chen even suspected that Boss Murong had sent people to collect the opinions of those customers and then made a series of improvements.
Only then can we do such good business.
Today, the lakeside cottage is no longer just a brothel, but a combination of a hotel, brothel and theater.
This guy deserves to make money.
However, because there were many people in the lakeside cottage, when Ye Chen walked towards the attic of the lakeside cottage, many people's eyes were focused on him.
"Who is this pretty boy? Why did Yu Niang come to invite him personally?"
"Why? Even Lady Yu never personally greeted me when I came here!"
"Damn it! It's this brat again!"
"Mad, who is this person?"
All the envious, jealous and resentful eyes fell on Ye Chen.
Seeing Ye Chen following Yu Niang upstairs, those people were very dissatisfied.
But Ye Chen completely ignored these people, went up to the top floor, and came to the door where Boss Murong was.
"Mr. Ye, come in."
Yu Niang pushed the door open and walked in.
Boss Murong had obviously been waiting for Ye Chen for a long time.
After all, Shen Qiu had already sent someone to greet Boss Murong.
Ye Chen walked directly into the room and saw the emerald green screen.
"Master Ye, please sit down."
In front of the emerald green screen, there are tables and chairs.
The table was filled with exquisite snacks and cleanly washed fruits.
After Ye Chen sat down, Yu Niang personally picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
"Master Ye, this is the pre-rain tea from Jiangnan. It tastes delicious."
Yu Niang said with a smile, but Ye Chen looked at the milky white tea in the teacup in front of him and was not very interested.
The way Dayu makes tea now is not like that in later generations. All kinds of things can be put into the tea soup.
Ye Chen really couldn't get used to drinking it.
However, facing Yu Niang's expectant eyes, Ye Chen still picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Delicious."
Ye Chen said this out of politeness, against his will.
"As long as Mr. Ye likes it."
Yu Niang was genuinely happy and stood aside holding the teapot.
"Master Ye, what brings you to my lakeside cottage today?"
Boss Murong's hoarse voice came from behind the screen.
"I came here today to discuss a business deal with Boss Murong."
"Oh, what business?"
Behind the screen, Boss Murong sat up straighter. The flour business he had done before was definitely a very profitable one.
Now, Ye Chen actually has business to do.
Boss Murong couldn't help but become serious.
"Qiu'er, take out a piece of paper and show it to Boss Murong."
Before, Ye Chen did not give all the papers to Xu Youde.
Shen Qiu reached into his sleeve and took out a piece of bamboo tube, and pulled out a folded white paper from it.
Seeing this, Yu Niang, who was standing by, immediately took a few steps forward and took the white paper.
"what?"
Yu Niang suddenly let out a cry of surprise, then lowered her head to look at the white paper in her hand, a hint of surprise appearing on her pretty face.
So light.
So thin!
Yu Niang took the white paper and quickly walked behind the screen, while Boss Murong reached out to take the white paper, then stared at the paper in his hand for a moment.
"Master Ye, what is the use of this thing?"
Boss Murong asked.
“For writing.”
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said.
Upon hearing this, Boss Murong was shocked.
"This thing, this thing can replace the bamboo slips?"
Boss Murong stood up with a "whoosh" and said.
"Indeed."
Ye Chen said in a calm and confident tone: "If Boss Murong doesn't believe it, you can give it a try!"
"Yu Niang, bring me some pen and ink!"
Boss Murong said immediately.
Yu Niang also quickly brought out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and personally picked up the inkstone to grind the ink.
Boss Murong took the pen, dipped it in ink immediately after the ink was ground out, and began to write on the white paper.
And she had only written two strokes when her eyes widened.
"Ye, Ye, Master Ye, how many of these do you have? Where did they come from?"
Boss Murong's voice became a little sharp, and the hoarseness of the past was slightly reduced, but it sounded somewhat crisp and very pleasant.
Ye Chen was slightly startled.
He knew that Boss Murong was a woman, but he didn't expect her voice to be so nice.
"This thing was made by order of His Majesty."
"What? This thing was made by the emperor?"
Boss Murong couldn't believe it and was extremely shocked.
In her opinion, this paper should have been made by a famous craftsman, but the current emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs all day long, how could he have the time to make paper?
"This is indeed from the hand of His Majesty."
Ye Chen smiled slightly. He had expected Boss Murong's reaction at this moment.
Paper was a very precious thing during the time of Yu the Great and even for a long time in later generations.
Paper is so useful and there are so many business opportunities here.
It is normal for Boss Murong to be shocked when he touched the paper.
"Mr. Ye, how much of this paper do you have?"
Boss Murong slowly sat down, calmed himself down a little, and then asked.
"There isn't much left at the moment, but after a few days, the amount of paper will increase and we'll be able to supply it continuously."
“It’s just that I don’t plan on selling it quickly.”
Ye Chen replied.
After hearing Ye Chen's words, Boss Murong's mood, which had just calmed down, became agitated again.
A continuous supply?
"Master Ye, are the materials used to make this paper very cheap?"
"Boss Murong, this is not something you should ask."
"Ah."
Boss Murong bit his lip and said, "Mr. Ye, could it be that the Emperor is worried that too much paper will flow into the market and affect the price of paper, so he wants to deliberately set a limit and only sell a certain number of sheets of paper each month?"
"Yes, but how to do it specifically, Boss Murong, you need to set a rule."
Ye Chen asked himself if he really had no experience in doing business, and that things like buying and selling should be left to professionals.
This is also the reason why he came to see Boss Murong.
