Chapter 57 Capital Operation

Liu Xinmou's heart was broken, only to feel that his Rong brother had already empathized with him, and couldn't help but stare at Guo Dan, a third party, and suddenly saw Guo Dan also looking at him, as if he had something to say to him, he was slightly stunned, and asked, "What are you looking at me for?" ”

Never mind! If I ask him, it will be disrespectful to the yarn. In fact, Guo Dan really had an idea, and asked Bai Xiaosheng in the capital about the past of Kou Zhuansha, but he always felt that doing this was neither respecting Kou Zhuan Sha nor respecting himself, and smiled slightly: "I just think you are going to look better now, it turns out that this fight can still be beautiful!" ”

This knife is mended.

Those women didn't dare to laugh at Liu Xinmou, so they tried their best to hold back their laughter, and their shoulders shrugged sharply.

What do you mean by that? Didn't you mean that I... Oops.... Liu Xinmou was halfway through his words, suddenly groaned, subconsciously covered the corners of his mouth, and looked at the women who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and was even more annoyed in his heart, waving his hand and saying, "You go down, go down." ”

"Yes."

The women immediately "fled."

Guo Dan no longer teased Liu Xinmou, and asked again: "Then again, why do you want to fight with Li Shouqi and them?" ”

Liu Xinmou immediately said: "It's not all because of your incompetence. ”

Guo Dan was curious: "What does this have to do with my tooth shop?" ”

Liu Xinmou said: "Don't you know that Brother Rong's winery can't even sell a drop of wine now, Li Shouqi and they came to us to show off their might, and we naturally won't let them be humiliated, so we fought with them." ”

That Li Shouqi's heart is very narrow, the last time he was bad, he was discouraged, and he didn't dare to go out of the door, this time he can be regarded as raising his eyebrows, naturally he wants to provoke Xu Jirong and avenge the revenge of the last time, Xu Jirong is not a good stubble, and he prefers to solve the problem by force, because this solution is the simplest and very suitable for him, so the two sides fought. But for them, this has long been a daily routine.

Xu Jirong said suddenly: "Faint, you can find a way to tidy up that Li Shouqi." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Didn't I already think about it." ”

Xu Jirong was stunned and said, "What's the way?" ”

"These are the three musketeers!"

Guo smiled lightly: "The reason why Li Shouqi is arrogant now is only because his winery has made money, but your family has not made money, if you make money, can't you go back arrogantly." Moreover, the money made by this studio is not necessarily less than selling wine, and more importantly, this studio completely belongs to the little uncle, and the money is all earned by you. ”

Xu Jirong's eyes turned around a few times, and he said: "Yes, yes, I earned this money." ”

Speaking of money, Liu Xinmou's pair of tricky ears immediately stood up, and he said curiously: "You said that selling paintings makes more money than selling wine?" How is this possible? ”

Guo Dan just smiled profoundly, and handed a contract to Liu Xinmou: "This is a contract to hire our tooth shop to buy a printing shop, you can take it, and you will go to the casino in the future, but you will have to rely on it." ”

Liu Xinmou took the contract and looked at Guo Dan suspiciously.

.....

Now the Kou family's tooth store is very idle, and in recent days, the only order received is the order of the Three Musketeers.

So soon, the Kou family helped them find a printing shop.

But this printing workshop is the core of the studio, and whether to acquire it or not must be made by Guo Dan.

Today, Guo Dan came to this printing shop with Xu Jirong and Liu Xinmou.

The house was very shabby, messy, dirty everywhere, the printer's face was black, where it looked like some skilled worker, if he wanted to say that they were digging coal, Guo Dan would also believe it. At the same time, he also understood why Zhu Lizhi refused to come here even if he died, with Zhu Lizhi's cleanliness, coming here was equivalent to suicide.

"Faint, what do you think?"

Xu Jirong asked.

I thought I was in the coal mine. Guo Dan always stood behind Xu Jirong and whispered: "Let them demonstrate it first, I want to see how they print first." ”

Xu Jirong immediately glanced at Chunchun.

Soon, these printers were working.

At present, this color printmaking printing technique is called woodblock watermarking. The process is divided into three processes: outline, engraving and printing.

Although it is only three processes, but in fact, each one is very complicated, Guo Dan has not been in contact with ancient technical work after all, his understanding is still maintained in the 21st century, he initially thought that the process will be completed soon, where do you know that after waiting for half an hour, the first process is still very early.

He finally realized what the problem was, and quickly asked them to take a look at their previous works, he didn't have much time to spend here.

"It's... Is this already the best? ”

Guo Dan took a small album and asked Liu Xinmou.

Liu Xinmou said: "This is already very good among the people, and the best is naturally the printing workshop of the imperial court." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Then what is the situation of this store?" ”

Liu Xinmou said: "Business is not bad, after all, there are relatively few such printing houses now. ”

Guo Dan was curious: "Then why is this proprietor still willing to sell the store?" ”

Liu Xinmou said with a smile: "Business is good, it's just a subsistence to eat, but if you want to earn a thousand taels, hmph, I really don't know when you have to earn it." ”

The Ming Dynasty is still only a relatively developed commodity economy, but there is still a long distance from the capital economy, so there is no capital in the market, or limited to production and selling and buying, the only little bit of capital, may still be in the tooth line, in the absence of capital investment, any technical industry is difficult to develop, in fact, from the perspective of capital, there is no shortage of geniuses in the world, there is a shortage of money, and this printing workshop is a typical example.

They can only rely on this technology to make a living, but they can't make a fortune with technology.

But this is a good thing for Guo Dan, which proves that there is great room for improvement, and said with a smile: "I think this workshop still has a lot of improvement." ”

Xu Jirong hurriedly asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Guo Dan beckoned, Xu Jirong immediately came over with his ear, and Guo Dan whispered a few words beside him.

When Xu Jirong heard this, he was suddenly surprised: "I have been using this method, but I have never succeeded." ”

"That's because you're using the wrong person."

Guo glanced at Liu Xinmou.

Liu Xinmou's heart tightened, he was now wary of Guo Dan everywhere, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xu Jirong didn't pay attention to Liu Xin's conspiracy, but just glanced at Guo Dan suspiciously, and then ordered Xu Chun to call the foreman.

Soon, the foreman walked in and bowed, "The villain Wu Xiu has seen the little uncle." ”

Xu Jirong coughed lightly, took the album and raised it, and said, "This is the album you did best?" ”

"Yes."

Wu Xiu nodded.

Xu Jirong grinned and said, "But what if you are given a double salary?" ”

Wu Xiu's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "What... What the? One... Double the salary? ”

Xu Jirong nodded, and said: "And I also gave you the best tools, and gave you meat to eat, if you do well, I will also give you a bonus, can you guarantee that you can do better?" ”

"Yes, yes! The villain promises that he will be able to do better. ”

Wu Xiu nodded busily, not waiting to hesitate.

Xu Jirong was stunned for a moment, as a loser, he didn't know how much money he threw out, but he often didn't get good results, but this trick was used by Guo Dan, but the result was so different, which made him quite depressed.

But he soon figured out that in the final analysis, the reason was still due to the "double foolishness in the capital", so he naturally had half the credit.

Of course, the reason is not because of the "double foolishness of the capital", but in the capital operation, with the current environment, equipment, and the spiritual outlook of the craftsmen, the works made can never be the best, there must be a lot of room for improvement, and Guo Dan believes that this can be continuously improved, as long as you increase investment, improve the lives of craftsmen, and mobilize their enthusiasm, nothing is impossible.

This is also his previous belief, if 100 million can't be solved, then 200 million, it's impossible not to conceive.

"Can this painting only be printed on paper?"

Guo Dan asked suddenly.

Wu Xiu hurriedly said: "It can also be printed on silk cloth." ”

Guo Dan nodded slightly.

Xu Jirong waved his hand and said, "You go out." ”

"The villain quits."

After Wu Xiu went out, Guo Dan threw the album to the side and said, "It seems that we have to entrust the Kou family to help us contact a few textile mills, because this kind of album is too rough and does not meet the grade of the Three Musketeers." He suddenly thought of the kind of holy decree on TV, and felt that it was quite Chinese-style to make this Ming Dynasty magazine, so he said: "We can print the picture on the scroll." ”

After Liu Xinmou heard this, he immediately disdained: "Guo Dan, you are really shameless. ”

Guo Dan was curious: "How shameless am I? ”

Liu Xinmou snorted: "Brother Rong's textile workshop is big and good, why do you still entrust the Kou family, you are obviously using the public for personal gain to cheat my Brother Rong's money." ”

Textiles and granges, that are the standard for large landowners.

Your brother Rong's money, can you only cheat it? Guo Dan said domineeringly: "Even if you are looking for a textile workshop for the little uncle's family, you have to entrust us to go to the tooth shop." ”

Liu Xinmou consciously felt that he was shameless for money, how did he know that this mountain was still a mountain high, and there were even stronger players among the strong, even if he was shameless, he was so domineering, and immediately said to Xu Jirong: "Brother Rong, did you hear it, he... He's blatantly cheating you out of your money! ”

Xu Jirong shook his head and said: "Dan won't cheat me out of my money, if I give him money, he doesn't want it, besides, he still has a thousand taels with me, maybe he forgot to take it." ”

Depend on! I've really forgotten about it, alas... It seems that I am not saved. Guo Dan was also a little speechless to himself.

Xu Jirong looked at Guo Dan very innocently and said, "Faint, this money is trivial, I just think it's very troublesome." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Little uncle, I don't want to cheat you out of your money, it's just that this studio belongs to you personally, and the textile workshop belongs to your Xu family. And if you do this, the little uncle will be one of the biggest beneficiaries, the studio can help the little uncle make money, and the studio and your family's textile workshop cooperation, and the Xu family can make money, this money is earned by the little uncle for the Xu family. ”

Earn money for the Xu family? Xu Jirong's eyes flashed when he heard this, he never thought that one day, he would be able to make money for the Xu family, and he almost cried with joy: "Just do it, just do it, haha!" ”

He didn't want to think about it, his capital was not from the Xu family.

Is that okay too? Liu Xinmou was dumbfounded when he heard this, and an impulse to apprentice was spontaneous.

.....

Since there are very few such technical workshops at present, Guo Dan has not many choices, so he can only buy it first and find a way to improve it himself, after he nodded, the tooth shop quickly sent someone to sign a sales contract with the owner of this printing workshop.

The first thing Guo Dan did when he bought this printing workshop was to close the printing workshop, the reason was that it was too bad, too dirty, too small, and he was not happy to look at. Xu Jirong deeply agreed with this, so he took these printers to a big mansion in the eastern suburbs of the Xu family, and spent a lot of money to order all kinds of tools, but they were all first-class carpenters, and the materials were all the best.

It was as if the printers had gone to heaven, and in one night, everything changed from life to work, living in a house, having meat to eat, and new tools, all of them full of energy.

In addition, Xu Jirong hired the Kou family to sign a long-term cooperation contract with the Xu family's textile workshop, and the Kou family was speechless when they received this order.

But it's okay, if you have money, you can be willful.

Liu Xinmou felt that Xu Jirong's ability to defeat the family was a step forward.

And the culprit is Guo Dan.

But this can actually be said to be Guo Dan's first work in the Ming Dynasty, before Chen Lou's transaction, it was really just an amateur activity, and it was also a small means, and this time, he really used capital to play in the operation.

He is not a big package, do everything by himself, but all the division of labor, all the work is carried out synchronously, time is money, this side of the engraving plate has not been done, there is already a lot of scrolls over there, although there are a lot of trivial things, but with the help of the tooth line, everything is in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, half a moon passed.

On this day, Guo Dan, Liu Xinmou, Zhu Lizhi, and Xu Jirong came to the headquarters of the Three Musketeers again.

"Faint, we're almost ready now, what should we do next?" Xu Jirong sat cross-legged on the chair, put his face in front of Guo Dan, and asked excitedly.

Guo smiled lightly: "The next step, of course, is to do publicity. ”

Liu Xinmou said proudly: "With the reputation of Lizhi, do you still need publicity, as long as the news is released, there will naturally be many people coming." ”

"Your brother is really not doing a good job." Guo Dan shook his head and said, "How can Zhu Gongzi's fame be so cheap, let the news out, hum, you are serious about being funny." ”

Liu Xinmou was annoyed and said angrily: "Then how do you say to publicize it?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Of course, it is to select some people with status, talent, and status, you can release a message, in case there are some people from three religions and nine ranks, wouldn't it be a waste of the reputation of Zhu Gongzi." ”

Liu Xinmou snorted: "You are quite simple, there are countless people with status and status in the capital, how to choose from them?" ”

Guo sighed: "People who don't have money think so. ”

Liu Xinmou was angry and confused, "What does this have to do with having money or not?" ”

Guo Dan suddenly looked at Xu Jirong and said, "Little uncle, what would you do if it were you?" ”

Xu Jirong scratched his head and said: "I'm too lazy to use this brain, I'll just ask someone to do it." ”

"Look, that's the difference between having money and not having money."

Guo Dan snapped his fingers and said, "Of course, this kind of thing is to ask the Kou family to do it, why are we doing this brain." ”

Liu Xinmou couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up, pointed at Guo Dan and said: "I have seen a lot of this shameless person, but I have never seen such a shameless person as you are, whether you are helping Brother Rong, or helping you yourself, you are looking for your tooth shop for every big thing, and your tooth shop has made a lot of money." ”

Xu Jirong said: "What's wrong with finding the Kou family?" I think it's good, it saves a lot of work. ”

Zhu Lizhi said lightly: "I have no opinion." ”

"You ......."

Liu Xinmou looked at his two brothers heartbroken.

Guo smiled lightly: "I think, otherwise, the Three Musketeers simply signed a long-term employment contract with the Kou family, but all matters related to the purchase and sale will be handled by the Kou family's tooth shop, so as not to disturb the interest of the little uncle in those trivial matters." ”

Xu Jirong nodded straight and said, "This idea is wonderful, this idea is wonderful, it should have been done a long time ago." ”

Liu Xinmou is already loveless, and he understands today that shamelessness can have no lower limit.

Guo Dan glanced at Liu Xinmou, and said with a smile: "Liu Gongzi, you have indeed done a lot of things these days, so naturally you have to be rewarded, in this way, we will give you a place, and you will sell it on the market when the time comes, less than fifty taels, and it will not be ignored." ”

As soon as it came to money, Liu Xinmou woke up suddenly and asked, "What are you talking about?" Fifty taels? ”

"Hmm."

"It's just an invitation, can it be sold for such an expensive price?" Liu Xinmou said suspiciously.

He once helped Zhu Lizhi sell paintings, he is naturally very clear about the price, although there are many people who rob him, but the price is still not comparable with those calligraphy and paintings, people are real art, some paintings can be sold for thousands of taels, Zhu Lizhi's paintings are more of a commodity, used to meet the needs of human nature, generally sold for dozens of taels, but as a younger generation, this price is also outrageously high.

He would not be surprised to say that a painting was worth so much money, but it would be an exaggeration to say that an invitation was worth fifty taels.

Guo smiled lightly: "In short, the more you calm down, the more valuable this place will be." ”

Liu Xinmou's eyes rolled when he heard this, and said: "Since it's so expensive, then what kind of tooth shop can we find, and we can sell it ourselves." ”

You're a fool, if I don't do this, your invitation is worth a piece of money. Guo Dan sighed and said, "I just said, who is Zhu Gongzi, and how can his fame be bought by money." And Liu Gongzi, you really have to change yourself, we are now taking the high-end route, don't always be immersed in the low-end, unable to extricate yourself, if you continue like this, you will break away from the team. ”

Xu Jirong nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "Conspiracy, I think it makes sense to say it lightly, you are not tall at all now." ”

Liu Xinmou was curious: "What does it mean to be tall? ”

"It's high-end and high-end."
