The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1629

[1629.Chapter 1549: Great financial resources]

The ninth day of the seventh lunar month is an auspicious day, suitable for weddings and funerals.

On such a good day, Fang Jifan’s new store opened.

On that day, Zhu Houzhao, who had worked hard for this day, looked up at the huge flagpole in front of the shop, then raised his head, looked at Fang Jifan with a speechless face and said: “You mean, let me climb up?” Come up, isn’t this a monkey show?”

“Your Highness!” Fang Jifan said sternly: “It is said that people who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. If everyone knows that Your Highness climbed up the flagpole, it will not cause a stir in the world. I am afraid that the censor will be impeached soon. The memorial is ready, and everyone in the capital wants to come and see what’s going on.”

Zhu Houzhao: “…”

It seemed reasonable. Zhu Houzhao looked at it carefully, took a deep breath at last, and tried hard to get rid of it from his mind. The rather funny picture in it.

“Start…I am…”

“Actually, it’s just a show.” Fang Jifan squinted his eyes and said, “The one who really climbed up was not His Highness.”

“Ah…it’s not me…” Zhu Houzhao was startled, eyes blurred. Confuse.

“This is the news that was released.” Fang Jifan added: “The news was released yesterday. Think about it, Your Highness, are you worried that the opening today will not be overcrowded? People… I am also ready, it is a A man of about the same height as His Highness climbed up and waved the flag, and there was a flying ball on top, and there was a slogan hanging on it… His Highness only had to watch the show. “

Oh, it turns out he didn’t climb up by himself.

This made Zhu Houzhao relieved, but he felt a little disappointed.

It seems…it’s quite exciting to climb up, after all, so many people can see it.

“But…” Zhu Houzhao was still a little worried: “But… when the time comes, my father… will definitely blame me.”

“I have already thought about it for Your Highness.” Fang Jifan said with a smile: “I, Fang Jifan, am loyal to the prince. Your Highness, this is something that everyone knows. How could there be no way for the prince to escape? Then…it is said that the prince does not know anything and does not know anything. Of course, the minister also does not know.”

“Oh. “Zhu Houzhao nodded and understood: “Who knows?”

Fang Jifan said cheerfully: “When the new store opened, I gave it to Chen Tong from the sales department. You know, that’s the guy. The bitch who used to be a minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs has been following His Highness the Crown Prince these days, and he is very happy. He is responsible for this matter. When the superiors investigated, they said that neither the Crown Prince nor the minister knew that it was Chen Tong’s fault. Conscientious people have inquired about it. In the business department, his family is very small. His parents, brothers, and nephews are all counted, and there are only seven or eight people. Even if they are all killed, there will not be much loss. The number of business people in the family ranges from a hundred to dozens. Such careful planning is worth it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, “Well, I heard that his family only has seven or eight people. My conscience felt a little better, so let’s do it.”

It was still early in the morning, and there were still an hour or two before the opening. Because it was getting dark too early, not many people came.

Therefore… Chen Tong, who is in charge of all the affairs of this new store, is so busy that he is sweating profusely.

He naturally knew that this store was the top priority of Qi Guogong, and it was said to be related to the future business layout. If he made the right move, the whole game would be saved.

Because of this, Chen Tong is particularly concerned about this.

After staying in the workshop for a long time, I have been exposed to all kinds of businessmen, and I have gradually been assimilated by them. However… these days are quite comfortable. After all, being an official in the past was mostly about intrigues and intrigues, which was really laborious. When he arrived at the shopping mall, although there were intrigues, it was relatively easy for him.

Not only can you eat and drink as much as you want every day, but there is no censor watching over you. You can occasionally listen to ditties and operas, and you can also be reimbursed. The most noteworthy thing is that the monthly salary is very high, and the money can be earned cleanly.

Of course, the most important thing is that because he represents the prince and the Duke of Qi to negotiate the deal, the deal was negotiated happily. The merchants cheered and supported him, and he was still the best among people.

He also figured it out, people just want to live a good life. How to be comfortable is how to be comfortable. Everything in the official career depends on fate. If you can return to the Ministry of Finance in the future, that is good. If it is not possible, then just live well. Doing business along the way is always a good way out.

He happily arranged everything, including stocking, picking up, and loading goods. Every kind of goods must be recorded. The price of every commodity needs to be calculated diligently. It must be controlled within a certain price and ensure that there is enough. In order to make enough profit, in addition to calculating the cost of warehousing and transportation, how to replenish goods is even more of a science.

You have to learn these from scratch.

And it just so happens that Chen Tong is an excellent person.

If you are not smart enough, how can you stand out among thousands of troops and be named on the gold list? If one’s emotional intelligence is not high enough, how can one stand out among countless sages and political figures and become the Minister of Household Affairs?

He has a lot of knowledge, experience, and insight into people’s hearts, so there is absolutely no problem in management.

But his biggest advantage is that he has a strong learning ability, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

This is why later generations of companies always hire famous college students.

In fact, the vast majority of graduates have left school and entered the workplace, because what is taught in school and what is practiced in actual work are completely different concepts. However, almost everyone is convinced that graduates from these prestigious schools have stronger adaptability. After joining the company, you can always do better.

The reason is nothing more than the same study time. Some people can endure loneliness, learn faster and better than others. This is true in learning, and it is probably the same in work.

In later generations, Chen Tong was regarded as one of the top students among the top students. In his eyes, whether he was the top scorer in the city’s college entrance examination or the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, they were all scum, so he was able to get started very quickly and quickly followed the ideas of the prince and Qi Guogong. own direction.

After everything was prepared, he felt uneasy and checked every link again.

This is the first time. According to his experience as an official, all today’s experiences need to be recorded, so that he can learn from this experience and gains and losses in the future.

When he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, his mood suddenly became happy.

No matter how you say it, it is a great sense of accomplishment to be able to make something foolproof.

Speaking of which, Qi Guogong seems to have an inexplicable liking for him.

I was just a small salesman, but I didn’t expect that I would be valued by Qi Guogong so quickly. It was not easy for me to be entrusted with such an important task. It was really not easy.

It seems that… Qi Guogong still has a certain eye. He recognizes heroes with a keen eye and values heroes. It is fitting that this guy will make a fortune.

After working for a long time, he happily found the prince and Fang Jifan who were drinking tea in the backyard. He said with a smile: “His Royal Highness, Duke Qi, everything is ready.”

“Really?” Fang Jifan said in surprise: “I That’s what I’m worried about. You’ve done a good job and I admire you very much.”

To be honest, Chen Tong didn’t care when these words came out of someone else’s mouth.

But…

when Qi Guogong said it, Chen Tong suddenly felt that his eyes were red.

What a huge recognition.

Qi Guoping always beats or curses people. There is never a good word out of his mouth. Except for His Majesty, he scolds and bites everyone he sees. But now…this sentence of appreciation is really It warmed Chen Tong’s heart.

Chen Tong was moved.

He breathed a sigh of relief: “Master, I…hey…”

It was really hard to say anything. He really wanted to talk about his journey in front of Qi Guogong… and talk about his feelings.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also asked: “Is this the Chen Tong from last time?”

“Exactly.” Fang Jifan replied.

Zhu Houzhao stood up, stepped forward and patted Chen Tong on the shoulder and said: “It’s really hard work. I’ve thanked you for your hard work these days. Lao Fang said a lot of good things about you in front of me, saying that you can understand the general situation and are diligent. You are a rare talent, I am proud of you.”

Chen Tong couldn’t help being flattered and sniffed, he hadn’t been so touched in a long time. The ups and downs of the officialdom had numbed his heart, and now…he suddenly felt that the prince and Duke of Qi were not as bad as he thought.

He was busy trying to say something.

But at this moment, someone poked their head outside: “Your Highness, sir, there are many people outside, a sea of people…”

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan couldn’t care about anything anymore. They were overjoyed: “Ah, let’s go out and take a look.” “

Last night…I heard that there was a monkey show here.

In fact, there is nothing interesting about the monkey show. Who hasn’t seen it?

But… when it was learned that His Royal Highness was performing the monkey show himself, the capital was excited.

Because…many people realized that His Highness the Crown Prince could really do such a thing.

What’s more, today was specially chosen as a day for rest.

Ever since… everyone who could come came.

The censors Qingliu, who are itching with hatred, have been unknown in this court recently. After all, the wind has been tight recently, and they really dare not take the lead. But when they heard this, they could no longer hold it in and exploded. , it can be said that they came out in full force.

The merchants who sent the invitations were also full of expectations. Many of them were looking forward to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Qi taking them to make a fortune. But how to make a fortune was actually a question that concerned everyone.

Good people come in droves.

Today, it can be said that the streets are empty and crowded.

People looked at the huge shop that was still closed, and for a moment they didn’t understand what medicine was sold in the gourd.

But in front of the store, there was a huge square. There was a special place for parking in the square. In addition, there was a pole. On the pole… not to mention, there was a real person waving a flag. Pan, like a monkey, moves up and down on the pole.

When a certain censor saw this scene, he suddenly felt that he was going blind, and he was about to faint while stroking his forehead.
