Chapter 803: Talent Selection
The old mansion of the Chen family, the courtyard of Nuoda was full of people, and the noisy sound was better than a wave, and groups of business gang leaders gathered here at this moment, discussing what was about to happen.
Chen Jiahao stood under the eaves at the entrance of the lobby, looking coldly at the leaders of the merchant gang below under the scorching sun, sweating all over his ears. None of the old men present complained about it, for them at this moment, this little suffering is nothing?
Seeing that noon was approaching, and all the people who should have arrived had already arrived, Chen Jiahao coughed lightly, attracting the attention of everyone present, and only then did he speak: "Helpers, my surname is Chen Mingjiahao, what is the matter of gathering everyone here today, I believe you should all know in your hearts." So Chen won't say anything more, but what Chen said next, I hope you will remember it clearly, otherwise it is very likely that you will lose your footing in the future, and it will be too late to regret it. ”
After speaking, there was a brief silence in the whole courtyard, almost to the point where the needles could be heard, and only the rapid breathing of everyone could be heard. Chen Jiahao's fierce eyes kept patrolling everyone present, and everyone who was targeted by Chen Jiahao lowered their heads, revealing a timid look.
There is no way, all the people present are understanding, and at this moment, their lives are in the hands of Chen Jiahao. Whether it is life or death, it all depends on Chen Jiahao's words, in such a situation, who dares to be rude to him.
After a round of inspection, Chen Jiahao was very satisfied with the performance of the gang leaders present, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he just opened his mouth to continue talking. Behind him, the butler's voice came: "Shopkeeper, the eldest young master, the chief soldier and the prince are waiting in the backyard, please go over as soon as possible." ”
"The eldest young master and the chief soldier are here......" Chen Jiahao was very surprised when he heard this!
"Yes, shopkeeper, they've been here for a while." The butler affirmed.
"Lead the way!" Chen Jiahao did not delay, directly left the helper present, and hurried to the backyard under the guidance of the housekeeper.
As soon as he left, the courtyard immediately became lively again, and the buzz of discussion showed that the gang leaders present were very worried!
In the quiet backyard, Mao Wenlong, accompanied by the eldest young master of the Chen family, drank fragrant tea with Zhu Yihai in the garden of the backyard. Mao Wenlong naturally came to solve Zhu Yihai's troubles this time, and the eldest young master of the Chen family happened to be beside him, so Mao Wenlong brought him over.
Mao Wenlong thought in his heart, the eldest young master of the Chen family has an unusual status in the Chen family, and he is his own person of the Chen family, so he must know some available talents, so he called him here for convenience.
Facts have proved that Mao Wenlong's conjecture is not wrong, and it is indeed much more convenient for the eldest young master of the Chen family to come. He has arranged everything properly, and Mao Wenlong and Zhu Yihai don't have to worry about it at all.
The eldest young master of the Chen family is eighteen years old, and it is the time when he is growing up, although he is from a merchant family, he does not have the shrewdness that a businessman should have. In Mao Wenlong's opinion, he is more like a fierce general in the army, and he is tall, and his dark skin also shows his strong physique.
His name is Chen Dahai, a very common name, I heard that he gave it to himself. Chen Dahai stayed by Mao Wenlong's side, his expression was very respectful, he didn't dare to be presumptuous at all, and his eyes always flashed with admiration from time to time. Obviously, he has a little admiration for Mao Wenlong, which is also related to his favorite heroic deeds of Mao Wenlong pacifying the north.
"Chen Dahai, why hasn't Shopkeeper Chen come yet?" Mao Wenlong looked up at the sky, it had been a long time, and it stands to reason that Chen Jiahao should have arrived a long time ago.
"Chief soldier, I have already called the housekeeper to go and urge in person, I believe it will come soon......" Chen Dahai's voice had not yet fallen, and there was already a sound of hurried footsteps outside the gate of the courtyard.
The three of them turned their heads and immediately saw three figures walking outside the gate of the courtyard, and the leader was Chen Jiahao, who was in a hurry. Walking quickly to the small pavilion in the garden, Chen Jiahao stopped in front of Mao Wenlong and respectfully saluted one by one.
After some politeness, Mao Wenlong motioned for Chen Jiahao to sit down as well, and then said, "Shopkeeper Chen, we came here this time because we hope you can help." ”
When Chen Jiahao heard this, he immediately stood up again, and respectfully saluted Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, please say, as long as the villain can do it, he will definitely go all out!" ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand to signal Chen Jiahao not to be nervous, and asked him to sit down again before he spoke: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that there is a lack of officials who can govern the provincial capital on the prince's side, so I hope to find such a talent here in you." I don't know if your Chen family can have such a talent to recommend now, if so, I hope that the Chen shopkeeper will not hide his secrets. ”
Chen Jiahao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Chief soldier, this matter is difficult to do, the Chen family has never been an official." Our Chen family has been in business for generations. In the Ming Dynasty, businessmen have no status, let alone being officials, but they are not even as good as ordinary farmers. So, I'm afraid the villain won't be able to help this time......"
Chen Dahai abruptly interrupted Chen Jiahao's words, and he said categorically: "Third uncle, things are not what you think, what the general soldiers want is the talents in our merchant gang." Because the people's sentiments in the provincial capital are very different from those in other prefecture cities, there is a need for talents with experience in managing business gangs, not those who are officials. ”
After listening to Chen Dahai's detailed explanation, Chen Jiahao suddenly came over. After frowning and pondering for a moment, he suddenly said with his eyes lit up: "Since such a talent is needed, it just happens that there are a lot of people gathered in the front yard at this moment, why don't you go over and choose it yourself?" ”
The talents who manage the merchant gang are naturally the gang leaders of those merchant gangs, and the fact that these people can work hard in the provincial capital is enough to prove their strength.
Mao Wenlong did not rush to respond to Chen Jiahao, but turned to look at Zhu Yihai, who had never spoken. I saw him frowning and pondering for a long time before nodding slightly and saying, "Then it's okay to go and see." ”
Knowing the decision of the three of them, Chen Jiahao personally led the way and took Mao Wenlong and the three to the front yard. There was still a commotion here, and it wasn't until the appearance of Mao Wenlong and others that it quieted down.
Chen Jiahao took it as he could, walked straight up the steps to the eaves where he had been standing, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said his intentions. In between Chen Jiahao's words, Mao Wenlong had already begun to inspect the people present with his eyes wide open, and whispered a few words to Zhu Yihai beside him from time to time.
The sneaky appearance of the two of them, there is a little bit of a appearance of coming to select talents. It's like coming to pick livestock!
