It was almost noon.

Wang Chen, who was studying the history of the Song Dynasty in the house, suddenly heard a commotion outside, and it seemed that there were many people.

He pushed open the window and poked his head out to see that the courtyard was full of people, all men, and each carrying a wooden box, not knowing what it contained.

Wang Yuncang was saying loudly: "Everyone be quiet, I'll call the owner to come out, and you will do what he tells you to do with the Buddha beads!"

"Okay. ”

"You shout, we'll wait. ”

"The place is a bit small, it's a bit crowded with so many of us. ”

It turned out to be a carpenter.

The group was quite casual, some sitting cross-legged on the ground, some standing and chatting.

Although Wang Yuncang made them quiet, it didn't have much effect, what should they do.

Looked at.

Wang Chen walked out helplessly, saw Wang Yuncang had just arrived at the door, and asked, "These are carpenters who can make Buddhist beads?"

"Well, it's all, three hundred. Wang Yuncang replied.

Wang Chen was curious: "How did you find so many carpenters in the morning?"

"Isn't this simple?" Wang Yuncang said with a hippie smile: "I'll just run to the gate of the market and shout." ”

Wang Chen sighed, "There are three hundred carpenters at the entrance of the market?"

Wang Yuncang sighed, "How is it possible?" and then he explained: "At that time, there were more than a dozen people, and I casually said to them that I was looking for a large number of carpenters to work, and they called all the people from the same township and village. ”

Well, it's easy.

No wonder I found all the people in the morning.

Wang Chen didn't talk nonsense, and turned to Wang Yuncang and said: "Since they are fellow villagers and villagers, there must be a leader, right? You go and call their leaders to the lobby, and I will tell them about the requirements for making Buddhist beads." ”

"Good. Wang Yuncang turned around and went to call someone.

Wang Chen walked towards the lobby in the center.

……

In the lobby.

After a short time, Wang Yuncang came in with seven or eight rough-looking men, ranging in age from twenty-five or six to forty or fifty.

When the group first came in, they all had a bit of a grin, and they were talking to each other.

Wang Yuncang glanced at them and introduced: "This is our owner, who is the founder of the five products canonized by the imperial court, and is named the founder of Buzhou County. ”

As soon as they heard that Wang Chen was a nobleman, the leaders of this group of carpenters all looked at each other and quieted down.

Seeing this, Wang Chen was very satisfied, sat on the chair and asked, "What are your names?"

"My name is Qin Hua. The thin old man in his fifties said.

Another chubby man in his thirties said, "You can just call me Shi Bin." ”

"Just call me Ge San. ”

"My name is ......"

Eight people reported their names one after another.

Wang Chen probably knew what to call it, and said, "I believe you already understand what you are asking to bring people here this time. Seeing the eight people nodding, he continued, "What about me, I want to make Buddha beads, each bead is six and nine centimeters and five millimeters in size, can I make it?"

In the Song Dynasty, one foot was equal to 31.68 centimeters, one foot was equal to ten inches, one inch was equal to ten centimeters, one centimeter was equal to ten centimeters, one centimeter was equal to ten millimeters, six centimeters and nine centimeters and five millimeters were equal to 22 millimeters in modern society.

"I can do it. ”

"It's fine to polish. ”

"But there may be a delay in time. ”

Several foremen spoke one after another.

Hearing that he could do it, Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and said again, "The shape must be round, and you can't fool me." ”

The little old man Qin Hua said with a smile: "It must be round, I have made a thousand strings of beads in the nearby temple, but also eight hundred strings, Bu Zhouzi, don't worry." ”

Shi Bin swore and said: "If it is bad, I am willing to pay." ”

The others were similar.

Wang Chen snorted, "Cheng, go and wait outside, and I'll let someone show you the materials later." ”

Qin Hua, Shi Bin and the others turned around and walked out of the lobby.

As soon as the people left, Wang Chen immediately said to Wang Yuncang: "You let go of Wang Ji's work in the past two days, keep an eye on them, and if anyone does a good job of making beads, they will stay and work as a long-term worker." ”

Wang Yuncang hesitated: "Staring at them, but today I was going to deliver ......"

"Tell your eldest man to take Erlang and Sanlang and them to go. Wang Chen said: "Is Da Lang literate?"

"Literate and don't make a fuss. Wang Yuncang said.

Wang Chen thought for a while and promised: "Recently, I want to go to Taizhou, Chuzhou, Yangzhou and other places to open Wang Ji Shop, if Da Lang is literate, I want him to be a shopkeeper, what do you think?"

Wang Yuncang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, thank you." ”

Wang Chen waved his hand and said: "No thanks, you will let Erlang, Sanlang and Jobs each take some plates to Taizhou, Chuzhou, and Yangzhou to pick a few good shops to rent tomorrow." ”

"Good. Wang Yuncang nodded.

After saying this, Wang Chen wanted Wang Yuncang to go out.

Suddenly, he thought of one more thing, "How about the big yard I asked you to buy?"

"In the morning, I took the time to go to Yazhuang and asked, there is a big house in the east of the city, there are 66 wings, the yard is a total of five acres of land, quite spacious, but the price is relatively expensive. Wang Yuncang pointed in the direction of the east.

"How much?"

"Five thousand dollars. ”

The price of a house on five acres of land is 5,000 guan, compared to Wang Ji's upstairs and downstairs 400 square meters seems to be very cheap, after all, Wang Ji's house cost 3,000 guan, but in fact, 5,000 guan is not cheap, because Wang Ji is a shop, and it is only worth 3,000 guan in the most prosperous area of Tongzhou City, and the east of the city belongs to a relatively remote suburb, and it is a residential house, so the natural price seems to be a little low, in fact, Kaifeng has such a big house, and now the price is only 10,000 taels of silver.

Wang Chen has reason to believe that if Wang Yuncang is allowed to rip off, the price can be lower, but everyone has been busy recently, and he is too lazy to let Wang Yuncang go to rip off for a few days, so he simply said: "Okay, take it down, go to the building shop as soon as possible to transfer." ”

"Got it. ”

After talking about business, Wang Chen went back to the house to study the history of the Song Dynasty.

……

Had lunch.

Wang Chen came to Wang Ji.

There were only a few women in the room, such as Wang Wenxiu and Xiaocui, oh, yes, and Mr. Tang who bought medicinal herbs and gemstones.

As for Wang Dalang, Wang Erlang, Jobs and others to deliver the goods, this month a thousand sets of goods have to be delivered to major households and Qinglou, which is very troublesome, and it is estimated that it will take one day to deliver all of them tomorrow.

When everyone saw Wang Chen coming in, they greeted each other.

"The owner. ”

"Mr. Wang, are you here?"

"Childe, please take a seat, I'll let Xiaocui make you a cup of tea. ”

Wang Chen enjoyed the treatment of the master, sitting behind the counter on stilts, just about to talk to Wang Wenxiu about bird's nest, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Then, Ma Huateng ran in panting, didn't bother to speak, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of cold boiled water, and drank it with a bang.

Wang Chen did not urge.

After drinking the water, Ma Huateng came over and said, "Mr. Wang, I have already entrusted Yazhuang to handle the affairs of a hundred families, and it is estimated that it will be able to recruit people in three or five days." ”

"Three or five days?" Wang Chen was a little slow.

Ma Huateng explained: "If an ordinary Dingyazhuang can recruit people in one day, but you can't be less than five feet four inches, it will take some effort. ”

Wang Chen understands this.

Most of the people who are more than 1.74 meters tall have gone to serve as soldiers, after all, the salary of soldiers in the Song Dynasty is very good, and the annual salary is forty or fifty yuan.

My own requirements are a little lower, as long as it is more than 1.71 meters, but the tall people of the poor family go to the army, and the tall people of the rich family cannot be the head of the family for five yuan of money, so it naturally takes time.

Wang Chen asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"No, I'll just mess around with some food later. Ma Huateng said sensibly.

Wang Chen took out dozens of dollars from the drawer, "Go get something delicious, don't be reluctant to spend money, go take a nap after eating, it's hard work in the morning." ”

Ma Huateng was moved: "Thank you, Mr. Wang." ”

In ancient times, the owner rewarded the small servant and the subordinates generally did not refuse, because it meant that the owner was satisfied with their work.

Ma Huateng took the money and turned around to go out to eat.

Wang Chen had no time to look at Wang Wenxiu who was sitting next to him, "How is the matter with the bird's nest?"

"The concubine has already asked Xu Jiang and a few people to spread the news. Wang Wenxiu took the brush and wrote something in the notebook, and said without raising his head: "You should be able to see the results tomorrow morning." ”

This kind of thing is in a hurry, Wang Chen had no choice but to find something to say: "What are you writing?"

"Cargo distinction. ”

"What do you do differentiating between goods?"

"So that guests can find what they are looking for the first time. Wang Wenxiu put the brush on the pen stand, looked up and said: "For example, menstrual towels, underwear, belly wipes and condoms should be placed in the beauty shop that the son next door said, shower gel, shampoo and other toiletries are signboards, and it is okay to put them on the shelves behind the counter, and nail clippers, paper and other items are placed in a conspicuous position to help guests find out as soon as they enter the door." ”

Separate items for sale.

Cheng, buddy, I appreciate you more and more.

Wang Chen was very satisfied, and simply pulled Wang Wenxiu to say some modern business ideas.

Not to mention this, Wang Wenxiu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he took a brush to record from time to time, and stopped to ask about what he didn't understand several times.

In fact, Wang Chen didn't know much about it, and sometimes he didn't know how to explain it when asked, and in the end, in desperation, he kept silent.

Even so, Wang Wenxiu was still shocked: "The son is rich and has five cars, no wonder Wang Ji's business can be so prosperous." ”

Being touted, Wang Chen enjoyed it very much, and boasted: "It's okay, if you are interested in business, I will teach you something profound in the future." ”

Well, go back and go back to the modern society to buy a few business books to read.

The two talked from one o'clock in the afternoon to about five o'clock.

It's going to close in a little while.

At this time, Xu Jiang, Li Xiao, Zhang Qing and others returned.

As soon as Wang Chen saw them, he asked, "How is the matter that Miss Xiu'er asked you to do?"

Xu Jiang patted his chest and said with a smile: "I am the best at this kind of thing, Zhu Yeqing is the best, and if it is done, tomorrow morning the entire Tongzhou City Guild will spread the news that our Wang Ji has bird's nest for sale." ”

Good!

It's done.

Wang Chen is counting on selling bird's nest to make money to build a brewery!
