Enterprise registration and share cooperation in the late Qing Dynasty did not require registered capital, industrial and commercial filing of share documents, etc. like in later generations.

The ownership of the company is based on the cooperation agreement of the actual shareholders. Of course, the payment of share capital must also have a receipt issued by the company's finance department, mainly signed and pledged by the controlling shareholder.

Just like the current kiln farm, Fan Chenggui and Liu Wenjie handed over the investment funds to the kiln farm, rather than handing it to Chen Tianhua.

When the time comes, if something goes wrong in the kiln, they will just ask Chen Tianhua for money.

This is different from the modern enterprise system of later generations.

"Oh, look at how happy you brothers, uncles and nephews are, you are all smiling. You must be hungry. Let's start the meal right away. Let's eat the old wine first, hehe..."

Suddenly, a cooing sound floated out from behind the screen in the large living room, and following the sound, a beautiful young woman came out.

I saw that she was about 27 or 28 years old, wearing a light pink satin cheongsam and embroidered soft-soled shoes. Her eyes moved when she spoke, and she swayed when she walked, which fully displayed her exquisite and concave and convex figure.

Isn't this Fan Chenggui's second aunt Hu Yaoxiang?

"Oh, it's the second wife. Liu is so polite."

"Tugen pays homage to the second wife."

Liu Wenjie and Chen Tianhua both stood up and saluted.

Hu Yaoxiang has been behind the screen in the living room, secretly listening to the men's conversation.

It turned out that more than a year ago, Hu Yaoxiang discovered that Fan Chenggui had three wives. It was said that the woman was less than twenty years old and was still a young girl.

It's just that I didn't marry her into the house, I settled outside.

Fan Chenggui has become accustomed to looking for flowers and women outside, but it is still a threat to her to have a three-bedroom apartment.

She began to make trouble with Fan Chenggui, but in the end, he simply refused to return to her west wing.

Hu Yaoxiang was a sensible person and thought to herself: Forcing a fight was not an option. Not only did she not get half the advantage, but she would become even more passive and compromise first.

Therefore, Hu Yaoxiang once took the initiative to tell Fan Chenggui that she accepted this third concubine and stopped making trouble. Please take her home and live in peace.

Fan Chenggui was of course very happy after hearing this, and even praised her for being smart and living a clear life.

Fan Chenggui's first wife, Wu Xuanjiao, gave birth to him two sons and one daughter. She is now in charge of the entire Fan family's finances. She is old and has lost her luster. She no longer cares about Fan Chenggui's affairs since she became addicted to opium.

She has two sons and one daughter to support her at home. Who can shake her position in the Fan family?

Hu Yaoxiang cannot do that because she has her own shortcomings.

She couldn't give birth to a child at all. Without a man and a half women left in the Fan family, she would have no say in the future of the Fan family.

It is said that Sanfang has been pregnant for several months.

Why bother? She also took advantage of the situation. In the future, let the wife of the third room and the first room fight and quarrel all day long.

As for Fan Chenggui, why doesn't he want to move his third concubine to live in the compound, where there are many servants and servants to take good care of her, and his mother is also old, so he doesn't want to be scolded by others and called an unfilial son.

But when I got it back, I was afraid that Hu Yaoxiang would cry.

This Fan Chenggui is usually sanctimonious. Although it is true that he is full of bad intentions, he always hopes to be on the safe side when doing things.

The last thing he wants is for others to point fingers at him behind his back, not even for the concubines at home.

On the surface, he still has to pretend to be very capable.

When he was in trouble, Hu Yaoxiang took the initiative to show his kindness to him, which played into his heart.

So before the year before, Fan Chenggui brought his concubine into the compound.

Alas, happy events come one after another. A few days ago, the third wife gave birth to a fat boy again, which made him extremely happy.

Ever since Hu Yaoxiang found out that she could not have children, she had become a cold person. It was only a matter of time before she fell out of favor.

Instead of living as a widowed nun in this deep house and compound, it would be better to venture outside and maybe have some chance of survival.

Alas, the opportunity has come.

I heard that Fan Chenggui wanted to invest in Chen Tianhua's lime kiln. As one of the major shareholders, he would have to send people to the kiln to make changes on the spot.

Who to send?

Fan Chenggui's two sons were unwilling.

The eldest son has married and started a family, and is currently in charge of the Fan family's opium den and casino. He has no interest in such troublesome things as the kiln.

The second young man, Fan Mingzhong, is in charge of the loan sharking business and is also in charge of more than a dozen shops in Shaoxing city. He is also keen on looking for flowers and beauties, having a romantic and happy life, so where does he have time?

Naturally, I don't want to either.

It is even more impossible for the eldest wife Wu Xuanjiao, whose small feet make it difficult for her to move around, so she can only stay in the house and act arrogantly.

Hu Yaoxiang happened to recommend herself.

"Master, you see, there is a great-grandmother and a wife at home. I, the second aunt, am too careless, and I can't give you a boy and a half girl. I eat and drink for free all day long, doing nothing."

"I want to do something for you. I've also studied in a private school for a few years. This time I invest in a kiln, I can be the director on the spot and help you keep an eye on it. Do you think so?"

Fan Chenggui thought about it. It was really not her turn to intervene in the family. She didn't have children and she didn't need to take care of them. And she didn't want to eat fast and chant Buddha. What should she do?

In this deep house and compound, sooner or later she will get sick. Besides, she has been quite reasonable recently.

Just give her a kiln to try to take care of, and let her have a foundation for her retirement in the future. Women, once they calm down, they won't make any noise.

Besides, this kiln is right in front of my house, so it’s very convenient to commute to get off work.

"Okay, I'll let you practice your skills and manage it well. This kiln will be yours in the future."

"Really, Master, you are so kind..."

Hu Yaoxiang was overjoyed. She hugged Fan Chenggui, touched and kissed him, and seduced him with her charming eyes.

This guy took advantage of the situation and pinned her down, and the two of them were naturally at odds with each other.

…

"Oh... Brother Wenjie, Tugen, now that the shares of the kiln have been finalized, I have something to say. I am going to send my second wife to the kiln to serve as the director. After the office building is built, Tugen

Give her a room to work in, she has also attended private school for a few years, and she can help with the reception and other things. If she is too busy at home, she will get into trouble."

When Fan Chenggui saw Hu Yaoxiang suddenly showing up, he told him about it. Anyway, it was his right to appoint the director.

After hearing this, Chen Tianhua frowned, his head buzzed, and he was momentarily confused.

He could send anyone, even Second Young Master Fan Mingzhong and Fan, he would recognize him, but he just wanted to send the second wife.

In that kind of male environment, a young woman who looks like a coquettish fox will be very inconvenient. If she doesn't do it right, she might cause some romantic affair, which would be serious.

Liu Wenjie was also stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, Fan Chenggui didn't discuss it with us beforehand, and suddenly brought it up all at once, what kind of trick is this?

What Liu Wenjie hates is Hu Yaoxiang's reputation.

Hu Yaoxiang married into the Fan family more than five years ago.

It is said that when she was a daughter, her father was a dyer in Kuaiji County, Shaoxing, and his family was wealthy, so she attended private school for several years when she was young.

Unexpectedly, her father was infected with opium, and her family fell into ruin. Her mother was so angry that she jumped into the river and committed suicide.

Later, Hu Yaoxiang was sold into a brothel by her impoverished father.

Due to his outstanding talent and appearance, he eventually became the number one in the brothel.

Fan Chenggui took a fancy to her and spent money to redeem her and marry her back home.

Although a brothel is not a low-life place like a brothel, it is still a woman in a romantic place.
