Chapter 112: Concession (1)

Sitting in a room with a coal stove in this cold winter is very happy for the people today, but Shi Bin doesn't care very much, and he even hates the choking smell of smoke.

In order to protect Jia Ling, he also specially designed something similar to a smoke exhaust pipe, although this actually wastes a lot of heat energy, but for Jia Ling and his children, it is worth doing anything.

What's more, in the eyes of this young master, a few pieces of coal are really nothing. In order to ensure that there was no fire in the backyard, the next day Shi Bin ordered Xu Feng to install the same smoke exhaust pipe in Sai Xishi's room to ensure that she would not be choked by the smoke.

Although both of them were a little "angry" in front of Shi Bin, at least he had a bowl of water to make them acceptable.

However, the stove in the room of the two is different, Jia Ling's room uses a small coal stove that can be carried away, and the smoke exhaust pipe is flexible and removable, and the fireplace is used in Sai Xishi's room, although it can also be disassembled, it is much more bulky.

This made them still a little unhappy, both of them were Hedong lions and tigresses, and when they saw that the other party had some of them, they ran to Shi Bin's study to "ask for the guilt".

In order to extinguish these petty angers, Shi Bin could only slowly explain the reason: Jia Ling used a small coal stove in her room because she was pregnant and could not always be in a smoke-filled environment.

After listening to Shi Bin's explanation, Jia Ling's anger disappeared, and she was coquettish in front of Sai Xishi.

Seeing this, Sai Xi Shi immediately became angry, and asked angrily, "Then why don't I use a small coal stove in my room?" Aren't you afraid I'll be choked? ”

It was really hard for the woman to be jealous, and he explained: "You are more afraid of the cold than Jia Ling, and you are not pregnant, so naturally use the fireplace that produces more heat." ”

With these explanations, Sai Xishi also laughed happily and gave Jia Ling a squint in a demonstrative manner.

Shi Bin didn't want the two of them to choke again because of this, so he played tricks and invited Jia Ling and Sai Xishi out of the study, and asked them to go back to their respective rooms and go their own ways.

Not long after they left, Xu Feng walked in with a few official documents, all about the coal industry. There is a deed of ownership, a list of donations from coal merchants, and a ranking of the size of donations. What excited him the most was that several large coal merchants provided craftsmen to help him open a medium-sized open-pit coal mine, and Shi Bin was not responsible for all the expenses, just collected the money.

After a lot of hard work, Shi Bin finally has a coal mine of his own, and now he can be self-sufficient in fuel for refining weapons. Although he is still under the name of those coal merchants and follows the business road, everyone is his private property, and no one should think of using their brains.

In order to show his sincerity, within two months, Shi Bin took over the responsibility of paying wages, saying that they were not responsible. In fact, this is just for show, because they have already contributed a lot of money.

But Shi Bin knew very well that he couldn't eat white food and eat alone, so he came up with a business method that he used to use in his previous life: sending profits.

At the beginning, of course, he had to consult with Wang San and Liu Xiancheng, but now he is also in charge, knowing that firewood and rice are expensive, and he can no longer be a boy with scattered wealth.

"Adult" ("big brother") Wang San and Liu Xiancheng entered the study with happy faces, because they were the first to see the open-pit coal mine contract.

"I wanted to make a little thing by myself today, but I am afraid that I will not think about it, so I invite you to come and discuss it." Shi Bin groaned.

has always understood Shi Bin's temperament, and Wang San knows that Shi Bin's so-called "little things" must be not small. Most of them still want to be a wealth boy, but now that they are under pressure, they can't scatter at will.

"Big brother, please say, Liu Xiancheng and I will definitely help each other."

"Didn't those coal merchants give us a medium-sized coal mine? I have an idea to divide the profits, but I don't know if I need to share them, and if so, how much is appropriate. ”

Wang San was not surprised to hear this news, but reacted violently, and immediately said that he could not share the profits, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, you need to know that not everyone is like you. As the so-called 'no business, no traitor', 'sheng mien, fight rice hatred', although those coal merchants cry poor, they are by no means poor. If you do this, they will only think that you are cowardly and will gradually tear down your platform. ”

Liu Xiancheng was the opposite, he was very surprised, but his reaction was not intense, and he also said that he would not share the profits, explaining: "My lord, Commander Wang is right. Those coal merchants are all dressed in fine clothes, wine ponds and meat forests, don't you remember the appearance of those people when you invited them to dinner? ”

Saying this, Shi Bin remembered those two completely different groups, a group with fat heads and big ears, and a group with skinny bones.

Seeing that Shi Bin thought about it, Liu Xiancheng continued to explain: "Those fat heads and big ears are a group of foodies, and those skinny ones are guys who have been hollowed out by wine. ”

After Liu Xiancheng's explanation, Shi Bin felt that it was very reasonable, but he still didn't want to compromise on it, he just had to make people feel that he was not a mercenary guy who used the public for personal gain.

"Two, I wonder if we can reduce the fees for those twelve months to eleven months, or reduce the benefits they paid from twenty percent to one percent?"

The stubbornness of the eldest brother Wang San understands, but it is not without room for maneuver, after some careful consideration, Wang San finally came up with a compromise solution: still harvest two percent of the benefits, but divide it into two parts, one into eight to Shi Bin; The other two cents are given to the county treasury, which they do not call.

This is also a good way, it is better to return the money to the coal merchants who are not short of money, and it is better to use their money to help the poor people in the county, as long as the time comes to tell those people that the money is donated by the coal merchants.

With this method, the coal merchants did not pay a penny more and got a good name, and the people also got benefits, Shi Bin made the county more harmonious, such a plan that is the best of all three is indeed much more clever than he just thought.

He, a scholar who is shallow in the world, can't help but sigh at the superb wisdom of Wang San and Liu Xiancheng, who find a way to survive in the dead end, and can always cover all aspects and meet the source.

Since you don't want to make profits, you can simply take out five points of benefits and do something practical. Two points are used in the army, and three points are used to help the poor people.

Wang San, a shrewd guy, doesn't want to be this unsung hero and moral model, his favorite is fame and fortune.

So as soon as he heard Shi Bin's opinion, he immediately expressed his support, but added: "I absolutely support the opinion of the eldest brother, what do you think of Liu Xiancheng?" He asked Liu Xiancheng's opinion as he spoke.

The old and sophisticated Liu Xiancheng naturally would not express his disapproval at such a sensitive time, but just nodded slightly and said 'reasonable'.

"But I have to remind my eldest brother that we are not philanthropists, we have to leave a name for what we do, and there is no profit without fame. And we need to list all the specific time and expenses, so that more people can understand what we do, and it is best to let the entire Jinghu Road know. ”

Of course, he knew that Wang San was thinking about him and the entire interest group, but he always felt that this was too a philistine and not a gentleman enough.

When Shi Bin hesitated, Wang San gave Liu Xiancheng a look, and he immediately spoke: "Lord County Commander, what Commander Wang said is reasonable. You may think that you are a bit of a philistine, but you must know that we have to conduct an evaluation every year, and we have to score it, and there are nine grades in total. If you can get it for three consecutive years, you will definitely be promoted to Zhizhou. Your father-in-law is the deputy envoy of the Yanjiang system, and he may be promoted in two years, but if he does not have these achievements, he will easily fall into the wrong position and be despised. ”

These are all facts, utopian dreams are useless, Shi Bin had no choice but to compromise, widely issued notices to inform the people, and sent official documents to Zhizhou, Jinghu Road Xuanfu envoys, system envoys, etc., for future promotion.
