At noon the next day, Hua Shufeng's house held a banquet, and five wealthy businessmen came to his house. The five of them, plus Hua Shufeng and Liu Pei, are the core and highest level of the department store. The decisions of these seven people almost determined the direction of the department store.

In the past period, the department store has grown rapidly. They have opened department stores in Jinan, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Nanjing, Tianjin. I made friends with a large number of local officials and wealthy businessmen, and the money was rolling in!

But it has not been without setbacks. The department store in Beijing was opened at the suggestion of Liu Pei. As a result, it was taken over shortly after it opened. For this reason, Liu Pei also scratched his head. Liu Pei's original intention was to plant a nail in the city of Beijing so that it could operate as an intelligence base. But what he didn't expect was that the officials and nobles in Beijing were so shameless that several joined forces to occupy the department store. As a result, there was the first loss of department stores. caused Liu Pei to write letters to several major shareholders to apologize.

However, several shareholders did not blame Liu Pei for this, they just wrote to ridicule him, saying something like young people are not reliable, and the others did not complain. But Liu Pei also understands the reason, this is because he has a large stake in the department store, and he is suspicious that these businessmen are so lenient to him. But they will not tolerate Liu Pei's big mistake again. If his idea is bad next time, I'm afraid that someone will force him to withdraw his shares. Therefore, Liu Pei is also fully prepared for this time, ready to tie them to his car more firmly.

After everyone met, it was naturally a pleasantries. But someone will come to tease Liu Pei soon. Li Fuchang noticed that two short whiskers appeared on Liu Pei's upper lip. He made fun of Liu Pei and said: "Oh, the dignified boss Liu has already grown a beard, but unfortunately there is no word yet!" Does that mean he hasn't grown up yet? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience burst into laughter. In ancient times, men and crowns had to have a table. And Liu Pei was born in modern times, so he has never had a word. But this time Liu Pei was confident, and after everyone finished laughing, he said: "Brothers, you will never have a chance to laugh at the little brother in the future!" This time, the younger brother went back to the island, and the elders of the clan who asked him to give the younger brother a table name. ”

It's a big deal to take the table word! This proves that this person is really an adult. In the past, a few people could take this opportunity to tease Liu Pei, but in the future, I am afraid that Liu Pei will really not be able to treat Liu Pei as a child anymore. So Hua Shufeng said, "Oh! So what's your table? ”

Liu Pei said: "The elders of the clan have given the word Congyu to the next!" ”

Although the people here do not say that they are full of poetry and books, they are definitely not wine bags and rice bags. Immediately, someone said: "From the Jade Chapter." Jade, Pei also. This work is Pei. Or from jade. It seems that the elders of your clan have high expectations of you! ”

In fact, the two words Congyu are the words that Liu Pei gave himself. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, a person who did not have a table character would always be considered a person who did not grow up, or a person who was at the bottom of society. With the word form, it means that this person has officially entered the society, can take responsibility, and set up a household.

In the following two days, several people discussed and evaluated the current situation and development of the department store in detail, and set the goal of the next expansion. The people here are all old-timers in the business world, and they are not much better than Liu Pei in terms of business, and they have more knowledge. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in the position they are today. So Liu Pei basically didn't say a word during the whole meeting. But Liu Pei did not weaken his sense of existence. Instead, he added some of the experience and skills of later generations to the plan, making the plan more operational. At the same time, Liu Pei's lack of words and words has been appreciated by the people, so that everyone present looks down on Liu Pei and thinks that he is a humble person. So everyone has a better impression of Liu Pei.

After the meeting, Hua Shufeng, as the landlord, naturally had to set up a banquet to entertain everyone. When everyone was drunk, Liu Pei sent an invitation to everyone. Invite them to watch the military parade at the Thousand Households in front of Fushan.

One said, "What's so nice about that?" What's so nice about a group of poor military households who don't even have complete clothes?

Another said, "Maybe this time will be different." After all, he is from Yuxian's brother who is doing a thousand household officials. ”

Hua Shufeng also said: "Brother Yu Xian has always been powerful, maybe it may be different. ”

Liu Pei also saw that everyone was insincere, so Liu Pei deliberately stimulated them and said: "If you brothers go to Qianfu with me, I will let you see what the real elite is!" The soldiers you have seen before are like mud compared to my family! ”

Everyone was aroused by Liu Pei's interest and agreed to come down to watch the parade. However, Hua Shufeng quipped: "I'll wait, if we don't say it's good-looking and exciting, Congyu will lose some of our lottery heads!" ”

Everyone applauded after hearing this, and soon discussed the results. If the parade is not exciting, Liu Pei will provide their family with free soap and perfume for a year. On the other hand, if they lose, they will each donate 2,000 taels of silver to Liu Pei to raise the army. Liu Pei naturally readily agreed.

Everyone spent two days in Jinan and then set off together to rush to the Qianhu in front of Fushan. When people were along the way, they were already a little startled by the changes in various places, and when they arrived at the Thousand Households, they were really surprised.

At this time, the Thousand Households were not as dilapidated as before. First of all, the villages outside Senhusho were relocated. The trees around the entire Senhe House were cut down, revealing a large open space. Because the presence of trees will provide convenience for the attackers, there are usually no forests around the castle. Originally, the Senhe House was also arranged according to this guiding ideology, but after a long time, people didn't care about the rules, and even the village was laid down according to the walls of the Senhesho.

All the weeds on the outer walls of the Thousand Houses were removed. The damaged area was also restored completely. The potholed city walls have been smoothed out, and they appear to be extraordinarily smooth. The gate of the Senho House has been renovated and thickly painted with a layer of paint. The entire gate glistens in the sun.

The streets inside Sennohe have been resurfaced, and there is no clutter at all. All the houses inside have been renovated and cleaned. The soldiers who came and went were full of spirit and strong physique, which was very different from the soldiers of the guard post in the past.

A few people from Huashufeng traveled south and north, and naturally knew a lot about the military households. But everything on the road and in front of them completely turned their perception upside down. Hua Shufeng said: "Brother Xian! Is this really the kind of house I've seen a lot before? ”

Liu Peihaha laughed and said: "This was originally a thousand households!" ”

A wealthy businessman surnamed Liu next to him said: "The thousand households in Congyu are different from the thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty!" There is indeed a great talent from jade! ”

Liu Pei hurriedly said: "Don't dare!" Can't! In terms of business, he is not as good as your brothers, but the younger brother thinks that he still has some ability in military training! ”

was so boasted by Liu Pei, everyone looked forward to the parade even more. They asked when the parade would start. Liu Pei looked into the distance and said, "Those who are coming are also my family." When they arrived, the parade began. ”

Everyone looked from a distance with Liu Peixiang, and sure enough, a large group of people approached. So everyone stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. Liu Pei said to them: "Brothers, don't look here, follow me to the wall, you can see it more clearly." ”

At the invitation of Lampard, he happily followed Liu Pei to the wall. With the wall, you can really see far away. I saw a team approaching the wall not far away, but the smoke and dust were billowing and I couldn't see clearly.

This is the drum sound of "dong dong" suddenly sounded in the thousand households, which scared everyone! Everyone turned back to look inside the wall, only to see that with the sound of drums, a large group of people were stepping on the cross street. The team ran quickly, and their footsteps were in tune with the sound of the drums, which was shocking step by step. Listening to everyone's hearts beating, it seems that these steps are stepping on people's hearts every step, and the footsteps can be even more terrifying! So a few people on the wall watched the team run out of the gate and gathered with the people outside the wall.
