Chapter 104: Foreshadowing (2)
"Childe, you can count it on!" Liu Jin saw Xu Chen coming ashore, and hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully.
"Old Liu, I heard that you have a name recently?" Xu Chen said teasingly to Liu Jin.
"That's right, Childe, the old slave also has a tuba now, called Liu Jin, the progressive Jin. Liu Jin said to Xu Chen excitedly, his expression was not much worse than the surprise when he learned that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for him. In fact, for Liu Jin, the newly acquired name is not a kind of new life! And for Xu Chen, who gave him this qiē, Liu Jin only has gratitude and reverence.
"Tsk, it's really different! People have also changed their spirits!" Xu Chen looked at Liu Jin from head to toe and said with a smile.
When Liu Jin heard the praise of the master, he immediately felt like eating ginseng fruit, and the pores on his body felt refreshed for a while, which was not something that other people's compliments could bring.
"The old slave learned this from the owner, and it is all good for the owner!" Liu Jin hurriedly patted a sycophant, but obviously he was only a beginner, and he had not yet obtained the true transmission of the knowledge of patting the horse's ass, this effect is really not good!
Xu Chen shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and said, "Lao Liu, don't say that I taught you to dress like this when you go out!"
"Why?" asked Liu Jin with a confused look.
"You're dressed like this...... It's really not good!" Xu Chen finally told the truth.
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "These are the best shops in the city! They told the old slave that this is the best!"
"Of course it's the best! But look at what you're wearing, gold bracelets, gold rings, gold necklaces, even the clothes you wear, the shoes you wear on your feet are embroidered with gold threads, and the waist is also tied with gold belts. Your dress is clearly telling others that you are shallow, not only can you not be recognized by others, but also make people look down on you for nothing!"
Ignoring Liu Jin, who was contemplative, Xu Chen walked to the piece of land that Wang Xian had assigned to him near King Teng's Pavilion, bent over, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of sand on the ground with his hand to look at it.
As expected, it was sandy, and you had to dig a few feet down to see the reddish soil. This kind of geology is indeed not suitable for any crops, and it costs a lot of money to build any house, and the river is constantly scouring, and the service life of the building is not high.
However, this qiē is not a difficult thing for Xu Chen, with a reinforced concrete foundation, I dare not say that it is a hundred years, but it is no problem to use it for decades!
After taking a cursory look at the thousands of acres of land allocated to him by Wang Xian, Xu Chen called Liu Jin over, handed him a stack of drawings, and said: "Start construction according to the plan above, you have also seen these people I brought on Changshan Island, they are not living people, do your best to build up the shelf!"
Xu Chen thought for a while and added: "You don't have to worry about the rest! Later, I will go to the office of Taishou to ask for the official documents, and you can start work as soon as possible!"
Giving professional problems to professional people, and then solving the rest of the things yourself, can naturally maximize the efficiency of subordinates, which is also an art of leadership, Xu Chen is trying to do better!
Liu Jin immediately assigned tasks to his own men and the villagers of Changshan Island brought by Xu Chen, and started some of the initial work with some materials that had been prepared. In order to catch up with the schedule, Xu Chen planned a row of sheds for the workers, so that the workers could easily construct nearby.
Now what Liu Jin has to do is to build these sheds first, so that the workers can have a place to live at that time, and the first few days can only spend money to let the workers go to the city to live in the inn, fortunately, it is not far away, and it will not take much time to travel. As for food, Xu Chen, who came to the wine shop, naturally did not treat these workers badly, and every day the shopkeeper Wang would be ordered to bring three sumptuous meals.
After dealing with these reserve matters, Xu Chen then rushed to Wang Xian's Taishou Office and went directly to meet Wang Xian. Although Wang Xian's every sentence would deliberately mention his niece, Xu Chen still couldn't bear to chat with Wang Xian a few more words, but fortunately, Wang Lin was not present.
Seeing that it was about to be time to get off work, Xu Chen finally got the thin but most critical piece of paper from Wang Xian, who was still unsatisfied. Although no one occupies the wasteland by the river, it is after all the land around the city, and it is owned by the government, and if Xu Chen can't get this piece of paper, all the development will be attributed to being illegal, and then it will be a waste of work! Moreover, Xu Chen must also get this piece of paper before he can transfer the state-owned land to his personal ownership, and only in this way can Xu Chen legally buy and sell these wastelands and make his money.
It can be said that such a thin piece of paper carries all of Xu Chen's plans, but fortunately, although it took a while, he finally got it without any surprise! The official government of Datang is still very trustworthy, saying that it is given to you is yours, and it will never do such an act as if it was found out after a while and then withdrawn.
After Xu Chen left from the Taishou's office, he didn't have time to go home, so he rushed directly to the new store that the shopkeeper Wang was about to open in the inner city of Yuzhang, and at the same time sent a young man to the shopkeeper's house* He called.
Coming to the door of this new store, Xu Chen took a good look at the surrounding environment, not to mention, the vision of the shopkeeper Wang is still good! The surrounding area is close to the downtown area, the flow of people is crowded, and the store pù is gathered, thinking that the daily customer flow will not be less when the time comes, and even better is that there is no wine store around the new store. With such a good location advantage, I don't know how Shopkeeper Wang won this store in the first place.
Xu Chen handed over the matter of the new store to the shopkeeper Wang, and he just nodded at the end, and Xu Chen didn't know much about these specific details.
Xu Chen walked straight in, and the shopkeeper Wang left in the new store was a guy from the old Chongrenfang store, who was trained by Xu Chen at the beginning, so he naturally knew his own big owner. Seeing that the big boss was coming, he immediately rushed over to open the door, welcomed the big boss in, and ran diligently before and after, serving tea and water, and finally had a chance to meet the big boss alone, and the guy naturally wanted to show himself well.
Xu Chen smiled and took the tea handed over by the guy, and asked him gently, "How is your work lately?"
Since the young man is so "motivated", as the boss, Xu Chen is not good at dampening the enthusiasm of the employees, isn't it? From time to time, the relationship with the employees is closer, so that they can feel that the boss is paying attention to him, and he can work harder, isn't it?
The young man heard the boss's question and hurriedly replied excitedly: "If you go back to the owner, it's not bad!" The small one's performance last month was the best in the store, and the shopkeeper transferred the small one to the new store, and the shopkeeper said that after the new store opened, the small one was promoted to the general manager of the lobby. ”
When the young man said this, he said this with a look of pride and gratitude to the big owner, after all, a few months ago, he was just a teenager who needed to help him earn food everywhere, but now he can get a few yuan of wages every month, which is all thanks to the big owner.
"That...... Owner, there's something small, I don't know if you can ask?" said the young man with a hesitant expression.
"Ask!" Xu Chen smiled gently.
When the young man heard this, he plucked up his courage and said, "That...... Owner, when will our new store open?" Then he added a little embarrassedly: "The little one hasn't made money for many days!"
"Haha, don't worry, we'll open the door in a few days, and when the time comes, you'll be busy!" Xu Chen said with a laugh.
"It's good to be busy! There is a lot of salary!" The young man heard the words of the big boss, and said excitedly, he has been suffocated in the past few days, and it is a gratifying thing that he can be promoted and raised when he is transferred to the new store, but the big boss has been dragging on not allowing the new store to open, which makes him sad to death! He does not dare to slander the big boss, and the big boss naturally has his reasons for doing this.
It's just that he can't get paid for doing nothing every day, and seeing a group of old guys in the old store get back hundreds of dollars every day, his heart is like being scratched by a cat's claw, and he can't wait to go back to make money immediately, you must know that he used to be able to enter the top three every day!
Xu Chen looked at the excited young man in front of him with a smile, and he could guess something about what he had happened these days, it was really rare to be able to persist in these days, and he was a seedling that could be cultivated.
Xu Chen waited for a while, and the young man sent out came back, followed by an old man, who was the shopkeeper of the king!
Shopkeeper Wang heard the proprietor beckoning at home, and when he inquired again, the proprietor was actually waiting in the new shop in the inner city, and the shrewd shopkeeper Wang immediately guessed Xu Chen's intention, this was to talk about the opening of the new store! So, the shopkeeper Wang casually pulled on a coat and followed the young man away.
"Owner!" As soon as the shopkeeper Wang entered the new store, he greeted Xu Chen.
"Lao Wang is here!" Xu Chen nodded and replied.
"Boss, when are we going to open?" Before the shopkeeper Wang could stand firmly, the words came out, which showed that the waiting for so many days had also suffocated him.
Xu Chen smiled when he saw the appearance of the shopkeeper Wang, and said, "Don't worry! Didn't you say okay last time? Let's open on September 20!"
"Oh......" The shopkeeper replied dejectedly, I thought the owner would be a little earlier, but I didn't expect to have to wait!
"Don't be idle for the rest of the next few days, there is a drawing here, you can change the layout of this new store according to this style, and you don't need to change it drastically, just rearrange these furniture!" Xu Chen said, handing over a drawing to the shopkeeper Wang.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was a little reluctant! This has dragged on for so many days, and he still has to toss!
"Take it, start work as much as possible, you must arrange it for me before the twentieth!" Xu Chen frowned when he saw the expression of the shopkeeper Wang, and said in a stern tone.
Shopkeeper Wang had no choice but to reach out and take the drawings and nodded.
At this point, all the preparations have been completed, the foreshadowing has been buried, and it is only time to wait for the prelude to the twentieth to begin......
