Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Long Grudge
When the kiln was built, Gu Qing paid attention to it, the scale of the pottery kiln was built larger than the ordinary kiln mouth, he knew very well what kind of texture the pottery burned by coal would be, the aroma of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, good things would eventually be robbed, and the output problem must be taken precautions.
Facts have proved that Gu Qing is right, the pottery has not been sold to the outside world, and there are already two merchants in Qingcheng County, and it seems that the two businessmen will fight for the right to operate the pottery.
Shiqiao Village is basically old, weak, women and children, and there are very few villagers who can work, so Gu Qing has no choice. He is wary of the world, and if he has to choose among strangers, he can only choose the villagers who are relatively familiar with him.
In this era, craftsmanship is also an intellectual property right, just like Confucius taught students to be restrained, Uncle Han's craft of pinching pottery and burning pottery is naturally also intellectual property, if you want to learn it, Gu Qing must have something to say.
Gu Qing's expression was very real, he carried a few catties of meat and some coarse grains, and some bottles and cans from the merchant, all of which were used in life, full of several bags, climbed to the mountain and gave them to Uncle Han, a few rainbow farts praised Uncle Han to the fullest, and the face was affordable, Uncle Han waved his hand and taught!
The short one is tall and tall, Song Gensheng selected more than a dozen villagers to go up the mountain and handed them over to Uncle Han to teach the craft. Teaching and producing at the same time, neither of which is delayed.
The output of the pottery kiln gradually increased, and the shape of the finished pottery became more and more perfect.
After Shi Daxing returned to Qingcheng County, the two businessmen had no news, and on the third day, Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai, the two shopkeepers, came to Shiqiao Village together, Gu Qing saw the scars of the two and knew that their battle had a result, and he came to inform him of the result today.
"Shaolangjun, you still take seventy percent, I will take two percent of the remaining thirty percent, and Hao Fatzi will take one percent." Shi Daxing sat in the front room of the Gu family, and the golden knife of Dama was authentic.
Gu Qing didn't care, anyway, it didn't affect his own interests, he turned his face and glanced at Hao Donglai, Hao's shopkeeper was not looking good today, one eye socket was black, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bruised, like a Dalmatian who was seriously fat and fell into the water.
Shi Daxing is not much better, the cheekbones on one side of his face are slightly bruised, and his eye sockets are not black, but Yintang is a little dark, I don't know if he has been unlucky recently or has been slapped with a brick head-on......
The two businessmen faced each other, but Gu Qing could imagine what kind of fire and even weapon fighting Qingcheng County had experienced in the past few days.
Businessmen also work hard to make money.
"Ahem, I don't object to how the two of you divide the profits, you can negotiate it, but can you tell me what happened in the past two days? Pure curiosity does not affect our cooperation. Gu Qing leaned over and looked at them.
Shi Daxing's style was very heroic, and he waved his hand indifferently when he heard the words: "There is nothing new, it's just that the guys from the two sides gathered their respective stores, and they had a big fight in the east city of Qingcheng County, and I won and he lost, so I took two percent, and he took one percent......"
Glancing at the shopkeeper Hao with slanted eyes, Shi Daxing smiled contemptuously: "Hao Fatzi's skills are not as good as others, and he is willing to lose the bet." ”
The shopkeeper Hao's fat face turned the color of pig liver, gritted his teeth and said: "You are really despicable, you bought my husband of Longchang Ji, and put laxatives in the meal on the morning of the appointment, Shaolangjun, you didn't see that scene, pity my dozens of lively shop guys, who were beaten by this husband's men, ran with diarrhea while holding their heads, crying and squirting ......"
Shopkeeper Hao said with tears in the corners of his eyes, and sighed up to the sky: "Even if it is the end of the hero, it is too unseemly, Shi Daxing, you are really unconscionable!" ”
Gu Qing's face was also a little ugly, although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he seemed to be able to smell it......
"Afterwards, not only did I lose the deal, but I was also reprimanded by the county order, and ordered me to contribute money and efforts to clean up the East Market, otherwise I would be punished for the crime of immorality, I really ...... It's too bitter. The shopkeeper Hao hid his face and cried, crying like a child of more than 300 pounds.
Shi Daxing did not feel guilty, but looked at the sky complacently.
Gu Qing looked at the tense posture of the two, and gradually understood something in his heart.
It seems that the net worth of the two and their influence in Qingcheng County is not small, although the status of merchants in ancient times has always been lowly, even farmers are inferior, but after all, money is very useful, it can subtly change a lot of the status quo, especially after the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the status of merchants is much higher than in the early Tang Dynasty, at least in Qingcheng County, Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai, the two businessmen should be quite status.
"Now that the matter of profit sharing has been negotiated, then we should get down to business...... "Gu Qing looked at the two of them and said: "The two are partners, and I am responsible for the kiln firing, but the glaze master and experienced craftsman still have to rely on the connections of the two to help me recruit, and in the future, the production of the pottery kiln will be transported into Qingcheng County, and the two can rent the warehouse to hoard inventory, and each of them will send an account room to take care of the accounts of the warehouse. ”
Shi Daxing nodded: "The matter of hiring a master and craftsman is on me, and I have ready-made ones in the warehouse, so I can use them when I use them." ”
Shopkeeper Hao's mind was a little farther, and he said: "The purchase of porcelain clay can be entrusted to me, I know the people from the Zhen Bureau." ”
Shi Daxing's expression moved slightly: "Porcelain clay? Are you going to burn porcelain so soon? ”
Shopkeeper Hao turned his head and ignored him.
Gu Qing smiled: "Porcelain is much more profitable than pottery, aren't you happy?" ”
"Of course! Hey, now the three of us are our own people, the Ming people don't say secret words, if it weren't for Shaolangjun, the things burned in your pottery kiln are too good, so that I have the confidence to burn the same good porcelain, and I really don't bother to do it with the little money I earn from pottery, isn't it the future? ”
Shopkeeper Hao said coldly: "If you don't care to do it, you can not do it, who forced you?" It's you who robbed me of my deal, and now you're pretending to be high. ”
Shi Daxing glanced at him, ignoring the provocation of the shopkeeper Hao, and instead showed a superior smile that the victor disdained to care about the loser.
Gu Qing looked at the two of them with interest, and there was no move to mediate the bad relationship between the two.
After all, he led a team in his previous life, and he knows very well what is most important inside a team.
It's not about solidarity and fraternity, it's about competing with each other.
Now these two shopkeepers seem to have a grudge for a long time, and at the same time they have taken a fancy to a deal, so they have to pinch their noses and endure nausea and choose to cooperate, which is very common in business. Gu Qing has seen many examples of companies that have to sit together for a project, and in the end, most of those projects have been successfully completed.
In the end, it depends on whether there is a leader in this temporary team who can calm the scene.
Gu Qing is about to become the leader of this pottery business at the moment, he is young, his morality is not high, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp if the two shopkeepers can mix to their current net worth, so what does he rely on to suppress the two shopkeepers?
