Chapter 36 The Zou Shopkeeper in the 21st Century
Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to turn around and leave, Zou Fengchi couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After all, a person who can become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty must have at least the ability to observe.
Although Zou Fengchi didn't know that the young man in front of him was the crown prince. However, I also feel that Li Chengqian's identity is extraordinary.
So he opened his mouth and shouted: "This son, there is no such thing as you in trading." Buying and selling is about buying and selling. ”
"Since Childe wants me Zou Fengchi to follow Childe's side. But I don't know what the son can use to guarantee that I can make Zou Feng rich and rival the country? ”
Li Chengqian stopped and said with a smile: "The most important thing as a businessman is investment, if you don't even have the most basic investment vision, why waste my time." ”
Zou Fengchi thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll use the white stacks in my hand as an investment, I wonder if this son thinks the weight is enough?" ”
"Not enough, although this white stack will have a lot of room for appreciation in the future. But this thing is a seasonal commodity, and it won't be long before it's all over the streets. ”
"So, I don't accept your investment. Of course, as long as you're willing to invest, you should know what to come up with. Li Chengqian said after waving his hand.
"It seems that what you care about most is my relationship with the palace. Okay, since Gongzi cares so much about this matter, then I, Zou Fengchi, will not hide it. Zou Fengchi said after thinking about it.
Then Zou Fengchi let Li Chengqian into the room. and personally brought a bowl of water to Li Chengqian.
This is not Zou Fengchi's slow treatment of Li Chengqian, because in the Tang Dynasty, tea was not something that the people could afford to drink. Today's Zou Fengchi has not yet made a fortune, so naturally he can't take out tea to entertain guests.
"You don't have to be busy, let's talk to me about your relationship in the palace." Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked Zou Fengchi.
"Dissatisfied with this son, the news of this white stack is indeed from the palace. And the person who gave me this news was the maid next to the queen. Zou Fengchi opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.
"You kid is not ordinary, even the maids around the queen can hook up." Cheng Chumo said curiously.
"It's a long story, I grew up with her as childhood sweethearts. It's a pity that the world makes people, and in the end she was sent to the palace. ”
"I thought I would never have a chance to see her again in this life. But fortunately, God favored me and let me meet her not long ago. ”
"It was precisely because I met him that I learned the usefulness of Bai Diezi. That's why they will spend their value to buy white stacks. Zou Fengchi said.
"The maids beside the queen are not easy to leave the palace. How did you meet her? Li Chengqian opened his mouth and asked Zou Fengchi.
"Maybe this is fate, not long ago, she was ordered by the queen to go out of the palace to do errands. I happened to meet me in the west of Chang'an City. Zou Fengchi opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "No wonder he was able to become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, it turned out that he was in collusion with the palace maids around the queen mother." ”
It can be said that Li Chengqian has believed Zou Fengchi's words, after all, the way in which Zou Fengchi made his fortune is recorded in the history books is too bizarre.
If he wants to have some contact with the palace maids around Empress Changsun, then he will naturally be able to get some secrets in the palace. so that Zou Fengchi can make money from this.
So Li Chengqian nodded and said: "I can naturally find out whether what you said is true or false, if I know that you are lying to me, I dare to guarantee that your life is better than death." ”
"Why should I lie to my son? What's in it for me? The most important thing for a businessman is credibility, if I don't even have credibility, how can I gain a foothold in the west of Chang'an City? Zou Fengchi smiled and said to Li Chengqian.
"I have a few shops in Chang'an Chengdong City, and now I am lacking a shopkeeper in charge. And I think you have the potential to be a businessman, so I'm going to let you be the treasurer, I don't know what you think? Li Chengqian nodded and said.
Hearing that Li Chengqian asked him to be a shopkeeper, Zou Fengchi couldn't help frowning. After all, the shopkeeper of a shop really didn't put it in Zou Fengchi's eyes.
Seeing Zou Fengchi's expression, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Since you have a relationship in the palace, you should naturally have heard of the Peking Opera and the hot pot you ate in the palace a few days ago. ”
"And the business I opened is related to this Peking Opera and hot pot...... and then Li Chengqian briefly explained his plan to Zou Fengchi.
Zou Fengchi nodded after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked Li Chengqian: "Then I don't know how much money I, the shopkeeper, can get a year?" ”
"It's not up to me to decide how much money you can get, it depends on how well you operate. For I am ready to give half of the profits as your wages. Li Chengqian said with a smile.
People who can become the richest man in Datang will naturally have a good sense of business. So without thinking, he agreed to Li Chengqian.
"Well, here's my handwritten letter. Tomorrow you take it to the 21st century in the east of Chang'an City, and naturally someone will tell you what you should do. Li Chengqian said after handing over a letter to Zou Fengchi.
……
In Li Chengqian's temporary residence, Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong sat around the fire with Li Chengqian, tasting delicious mutton shabu.
"My dad is not wrong, the taste of this hot pot is simply unbelievable. It seems that I will have nothing to do in the future and go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few times, so as not to miss anything delicious. Cheng Chumo said vaguely while stuffing the mutton into his mouth.
Seeing that Cheng Chumo only had mutton in his eyes, Eldest Sun Chong shook his head helplessly. Then he put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I said His Royal Highness the Prince, businessmen have been the most treacherous existence since ancient times. ”
"In their eyes, profit is more important than anything else. Can such a person be trusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"For thousands of years, merchants have been the most humble profession. And even the children of businessmen cannot become officials. I don't even have the opportunity to be a small official. ”
"But there is no shortage of businessmen in this world, if there are no businessmen, our food, clothing, housing and transportation will be a problem."
So merchants don't crave money, but they have nothing to ask for but money. If this palace gives him other hopes, do you think he will not give his life to this palace? Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"It's really my dad right, these people who read are just a lot of flowers. If you're not careful, you'll be calculated by them. Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
But now Cheng Chumo didn't have time to say anything. Because he was enjoying this delicious mutton shabu. I'm afraid that I won't be full now, and I won't have a chance to eat again in the future.
