Now that the soap recipe has been sold, Chi Fei feels that it is time to take a back seat.

He decided to hire a shopkeeper, an accountant and two guys to come back and officially run the Suiyuan soap shop, and he went back to write novels as a behind-the-scenes owner.

As for Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu, they stayed in the courtyard with him.

In addition to housework, another important part of their daily work is to make soap and soap, and when they are ready, they send it to the store for sale.

Chi Fei couldn't trust the others, so this matter could only be done by the two of them.

Chi Fei didn't let them do it in vain, and paid them another monthly salary like the guys in the store.

Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu didn't dare to accept it at first, but Chi Fei insisted that they accept it.

After all, Chi Fei is a modern person, although both of them are subordinates he bought, but he does not have the habit of letting people do day labor, and he still has to give what should be given.

Chi Fei has no plans to expand production, and it is enough to maintain the current output.

His main purpose in opening the Suiyuan soap shop was to attract the attention of other merchants and thus attract people to buy his formulas.

Now that the goal has been achieved, he has never thought that he will make a lot of money from this small shop, and it is enough to make a stable amount of money every month.

He knew very well that with a small store like him, there was no way to compete with those big merchants.

Now that they have obtained the formula, they will definitely open a workshop for large-scale production.

Although more than a dozen of them formed a soap industry chamber of commerce to unify the price, it was only for the local market in the capital.

Privately, they will definitely sell their goods to other places and expand the market.

This is a large shipment, and the price will naturally be reduced.

Because this is the way each member sells his or her own goods, the soap chamber has neither the right nor the right to interfere with it.

In general, as the scale of soap production continues to expand, the price will definitely come down one day, and then soap is likely to become an ordinary consumer product like soap.

This is determined by supply and demand, and no one can control it. It's just that in the past year or two, the price can still be temporarily controlled.

It's not just Chi Fei who can think of this, but the dozen or so business people must have also thought of it.

Therefore, in the next two years, these big merchants will definitely make every effort to produce soap in large quantities and sell it for money while the profiteering period has not yet passed.

Chi Fei, who has already made a lot of money from selling formulas, won't compete with them for business, and he can't afford to fight, so let's be his writer with peace of mind.

Regarding inviting the shopkeeper and the account room, Chi Fei decided to go to the Chen account room to help see if there was a suitable person to recommend.

At first, Chi Fei didn't want to trouble Chen's tent room, but then he remembered an article he had read before.

The approximate meaning of this article is: a junior accidentally goes to the elder to help with a small favor, which is actually a sign of closeness. Rather than getting bored, the elders are happy and feel that they are being relied upon and respected by the younger ones.

Chi Fei remembered Chen's attitude of helping him several times, and felt that this article made a bit of sense, so he went to visit Chen's tent with a gift.

What is he most now? Home-made soaps and soaps, of course.

So this time, in addition to bringing some snacks and fruits, he also brought a dozen pieces of soap and a large piece of uncut soap as souvenirs.

For Chi Fei's visit, Chen Tent was very happy.

He is an old courtier of the head office of Dongsheng Rice Shop, and he is highly respected, and many things no longer need him to do it himself.

He is now semi-retired and spends most of his time at home, only returning to the store to help out at the end of the month when he has to take inventory.

Because he was too idle on weekdays, Chi Fei came to see him, and he felt very happy.

However, even happier than him was Aunt Liu, the daughter-in-law of Chen's tent.

Aunt Liu, who originally had an average attitude towards Chi Fei, has immediately changed her attitude towards him one hundred and eighty degrees since she learned that the most popular Suiyuan soap shop in the capital was opened by him, and her enthusiasm made Chi Fei a little unbearable.

Aunt Liu couldn't have imagined that her father-in-law's students would be so capable and open such a store.

It's a pity that her daughter got engaged to a Xiucai two months ago, otherwise she really wanted to marry her daughter to her father-in-law, a student.

Although her daughter is engaged, she also has Yun Ying's unmarried niece. If the two of them can get together, then her mother's family will not have to worry about running out of money to spend in the future.

With this thought, Aunt Liu asked very enthusiastically: "Su Zhen, I heard that your store is doing very well." You're really capable, you're so good at a young age. Auntie asked you, are you engaged? ”

"Well, not yet."

"It's good if you don't have it...... No, I'm saying it's normal for you to be so young and not engaged.

Yes, I have a niece who is about the same age as you. It's not that I'm boasting, my niece is not only good-looking, but also has a good temperament, virtuous and virtuous, round and fleshy, and is a good little lady.

I know that Su Zhen has no father or mother, so why don't I be your elder and arrange for the two of you to meet? ”

It's really a blind date. As a party to the case, Chi Fei suddenly had a black line.

Chi Fei immediately refused: "Auntie, I am still young, and I am still in the process of filial piety, so it is inconvenient to consider family affairs for the time being, thank you for your concern, auntie." ”

Aunt Liu said without giving up: "It's not that you are going to get married right away, it's just to meet each other." You can take your time when you get married. ”

Just as Chi Fei was having a headache, the voice of Chen's tent room suddenly came from the side, "Su Zhen, come to my study, I have something to look for you." ”、

Chi Fei was granted amnesty, and immediately replied: "Yes, sir, I will come." ”

Then he apologized to Aunt Liu: "Auntie, Mr. is looking for me, I will go first." With that, he slipped away as if fleeing.

Aunt Liu watched him walk away with a look of pity.

In the study, Chen Tent looked at Chi Fei, who was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you kid has also become a fragrant bun." ”

Chi Fei smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't laugh at me." ”

Thinking of his daughter-in-law's snobbish face just now, Chen Tent couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

His daughter-in-law here really can't be on the stage, and she teaches her granddaughter badly.

Fortunately, his grandson has been with him since he was a child and has not been taken badly, otherwise his wife who has passed away is estimated to be at ease below.

What his wife regretted the most before his death was that when he was looking for a daughter-in-law for his son, he didn't see the nature of the daughter-in-law clearly, and only after passing the door did he gradually find out that the daughter-in-law was a snob.

But people have already passed the door, can they still return it? So I could only grit my teeth and accept it.

Fortunately, after so many years of suppression by his wife, the daughter-in-law here has not done anything out of the ordinary, that is, she is greedy for small and cheap, and she has more than enough success and failure.

Now that his wife has passed away, it is inconvenient for him to take care of his daughter-in-law's affairs as a father-in-law, so he can only turn a blind eye. As long as it's not too much, he doesn't bother to care

When the two sat down to chat, Chen Tent heard that Chi Fei wanted to recruit a shopkeeper and a bookkeeper, so he thought about it and said: "I know a few shopkeepers and bookkeepers who have accumulated for many years, most of them have retired, but they can't find some easy work to do."

Your store has a simple account, so it's suitable if you find someone like that. What do you think about this? ”

"Sir, this is a good proposal, my store has no plans to expand, and it may be like that in the future. It's just that my store is too small, and I'm afraid that it will make those long-term shopkeepers and accountants succumb. ”

"It's okay, they don't want to work too hard, they just want to pass the time. Since you have no opinion, I will take them over in two days to show you if it is suitable. ”

"Then trouble sir."

"It's just a small thing. But then again, you kid does have some genius when it comes to business.

I never imagined that you would advertise your store in your own notebook.

When I first heard about it, I almost couldn't help but spray rice. You little slippery head. Chen nodded his forehead with a smile.

He still learned the word advertising from Chi Fei's mouth.

Chi Fei also smiled and said: "You have the same idea as Mr. and my Xiucai friend, he directly said that I was too shameless, and I even came up with such a bad idea."

I don't care if it's a bad idea or not, as long as it works. Anyway, no one except you knows that I am the author himself. ”

"That's right. Later, don't bring soap with me, I didn't know it was so expensive when I took it for the first time, and it cost ten taels of silver a piece. You take a dozen yuan, how embarrassed am I to accept it. ”

"Sir, don't mess with me, my stuff is expensive, but it's actually very cheap. If you use it, I will cover all your soaps and soaps in the future. ”

"I don't know how you came up with this. But that's fine, and everyone will be more involved in washing clothes and bathing in the future. ”

"Sir, rest assured, there will be more and more shops selling soap and soap in the capital in the future, so you don't have to worry about not being able to buy them."

The two chatted for nearly an hour before Chi Fei said goodbye and left.

After Chi Fei left, Aunt Liu, the daughter-in-law of Chen's tent, couldn't help but ask her father-in-law, "Dad, what is Su Zhen looking for you?" ”

"Su Zhen wanted to ask a shopkeeper and a bookkeeper to help him manage his shop, and asked me if I had no recommended candidates."

When Aunt Liu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Isn't my nephew Changgui having nothing to do?" You can call him there. ”

Chen Tent frowned and said, "What Su Zhen wants to invite is the shopkeeper and the tent, what will your nephew do?" ”

"Can Changgui stay with him to learn, didn't Su Zhen also work as a bookkeeper apprentice while working as a buddy back then, and now he is also getting ahead?"

"No need, you don't have to worry about Su Zhen's affairs in the future." Chen Tent didn't want to talk to her anymore, and went straight back to the study.

Aunt Liu was a little afraid of this father-in-law with a serious expression, so she didn't dare to make a sound, and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

…………………………

A few days later, Chen Tent really brought two people over, both of whom were the treasurer and the tent for many years. The shopkeeper's surname is Ma, and the tent's surname is Zhang, both of whom are old men in their fifties.

The so-called seventy years of life are rare, and the life span of the ancients was generally short, so it is normal to retire in the fifties.

It is rare for people like Chen to pass the retirement age early and still insist on working, and most people will retire at this age and have their grandchildren at home.

Since it was recommended by Chen's tent room, of course Chi Fei could be trusted. So I quickly negotiated with the two of them and asked them to stay here as treasurers and bookkeepers. As for the salary, Chi Fei gave the highest price in the industry.

Seeing Chi Fei so generous, the two elders felt very relieved and felt respected.

A businessman is very profitable, and no matter how nice a businessman's mouth is, it can't compare to how much money he is willing to pay to show his sincerity.

This may be paradoxical, but the shopkeeper and the ledger do not care about the amount of salary, they just want to find a job to pass the time.

But if the owner gives too little wages, they will feel that the other party does not respect them. Man is such a complex animal.

Now that the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper have been recruited, there are only two men left.

It's easy to find, and within two days of Chi Fei just posting the recruitment notice, many people came to apply.

Chi Fei chose two young people who looked more clever and had more positive eyes to be the guys.

After everyone was found, Chi unofficially took a back seat. I usually only come to the store occasionally to have a look.,It's back to the otaku life of writing all day.。

A few days after he returned to being an otaku, one afternoon, a young man who called himself Lin Changsheng suddenly came to visit.

Chi Fei received the other party in the living room, he didn't know why this young man he had never seen before came.

Lin Changsheng first looked Chi Fei up and down, and there was a shock in his eyes that could not be concealed.

After a while, he restrained his expression and bowed: "Excuse me, are you the author of "Xianxia", Mr. Chi Fei?" ”

Hearing his title, Chi Fei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. There was only one thought in my head: how did he know who I was?
