Chapter 5: Wang Lun's Past

Seeing that Zhu Gui was taken under his command, Wang Lun felt a little proud in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info then raised his head and instructed Du Qian: "The shopkeeper is served by Brother Zhu, and I have also found someone for the second chef." There is also a lack of knife work and face cases, which can be found among those who are familiar with Jeju City. The guy is looking for four people, articulate and diligent in their legs. ”

When Du Qian heard that he had another errand, he immediately became energetic. He seemed to be invited to say: "Brother, don't worry! The knife worker already has an eyebrow, and I will personally invite it in a few days. ”

Wang Lun nodded secretly when he saw that Du Qian took the errand so easily, this brother is still hardworking. However, he was still not at ease, and instructed again: "These people must be innocent and honest." When it opens in a few days, I'll make a rule. ”

Du Qian patted his chest with a bang, indicating that he would definitely do it. Then he asked, "What is the standard of wages for these people?" ”

"The chef also has five dollars, the second chef knife work and the noodle case are two, and the guy is half-run. And those who do well have dividends. After setting everyone's wage standards, Wang Lun said to Du Qian: "You have been in the store for the past few days, and I will ask Erlang to help you after the opening." ”

Hearing the word Erlang, Du Qian's eyebrows were tangled together, so reluctant. pleaded with Wang Lun and said, "Brother, be kind, don't let the demon king of the mixed world come, I will take care of it alone."

"Look at your unproductive appearance, a nine-foot-tall man is afraid that a little man will not succeed." Wang Lun shook his head helplessly, and said with hatred that iron is not steel.

That's a little guy, it's obviously a little tiger cub! Du Qian thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it. I'm afraid that Wang Lun will immediately send the demon king of the mixed world to his side, and he can hide for a while, Du Qian comforted himself like this.

Wang Lun didn't care about Du Qian, who was worried there, because the monthly money of the chef he set was also five times, and Zhu Gui, the shopkeeper, was the same standard, so he was afraid that Zhu Gui would be too careful, so he took the initiative to explain a little. said: "The chef we invited is not ordinary, don't take it lightly. You'll know when the restaurant opens. ”

Over there, Zhu Gui heard the sound and knew the elegance, and hurriedly said: "For the restaurant, the position of the chef is not trivial, and the monthly money is indisputable. ”

I talked to Du Qian and Zhu Gui again, and seeing that it was close to noon, several people cooked and ate a restaurant in their own restaurant. During the banquet, it was inevitable to talk about some things about opening a restaurant, although the wine and vegetarian dishes were thin, but a few people were also guests and hosts for a while, Wang Lun obviously felt that the relationship with Zhu Gui had entered a layer.

After that, Wang Lun stayed and moved to Zhu Gui in the county to take care of the affairs of the restaurant, and he took the little spirit official to Wangjiazhuang to return. Wang Lun has been staying in the county for three or four days because of the restaurant and the joint insurance for the exam, and it is time to go home to see the old lady.

Not to mention that Wang Lun went home, just to say that Du Qian and Zhu Gui were in the restaurant, the two of them had known each other for a long time, and they were about to work together, so the two were naturally very warm.

"Brother Du, our official obviously has such a decent identity as a showman, why do you want to engage in a cheap job like a businessman?" This Zhu Gui was not polite to Du Qian, and directly asked the question in his heart.

"Haha! Brother Zhu, you asked me the right person. I have known my brother Wang since I was a child, and no one knows his affairs better than me. The elder brother of the Wang family is also forced to make a living. Du Qian didn't sell Guan Zi either, and told Zhu Gui about Wang Lun at the moment.

"Our brother is also a well-known figure in Wangjiazhuang, although he lost his father at a young age and only relied on his mother for his life, but he is also very motivated and obtained the status of Xiucai early, and he has participated in the test twice! Counting this time, it's three times. ”

Although what Du Qian said was a little inconsistent, Zhu Gui didn't interject, just listened quietly.

I only heard Du Qian say again: "The first two times I didn't win because of bad luck, I think this time the brother of the Wang family will definitely be promoted in high school." ”

"Hey! To say that the biggest change in the elder brother of the Wang family is in the last three years. Originally, there were only two thin fields in the family, and he didn't know how to farm, so he hired people to do it. But three years ago, when the harvest was good, he sold both of these fields for three years. Coupled with the savings in his hands, he has a capital of more than 30 taels. The more Du Qian spoke, the more excited he became, and he took a big sip of tea.

After that, he went to the casino, gambled and multiplied his money tenfold. Then he began to buy a large amount of grain, but he did not expect that last year, the weather was not beautiful, and after the disaster, the fields were green and yellow, and the price of grain rose. In this way, the elder brother of the Wang family made another profit, and with this money, he bought a lot of raw silk cloth to resell. ”

Du Qian is a rough man with limited knowledge, and he only knows that Wang Lun's methods are not ordinary. Zhu Gui has seen the world, and he has also gone through business and knows the trick here. I often hear my peers say that people abandon me and take, and people take me and this sentence. This means that when most people sell at a low price, I do the opposite and buy a lot. While most people buy at a high price, I do the same and sell heavily to earn the difference in the middle.

Zhu Gui thought to himself, it was this trick that Wang Lun used, and if he could master this trick, he would have done something a long time ago.

This trick is very simple, but Wang Lun pays attention to the changes in agricultural production and the market supply and demand, and when a large amount of grain is on the market in a bumper year, the price of grain falls, and the grain should be purchased at this time. When the harvest is in short supply or when the harvest is scarce, the price of grain rises, and the grain is sold in a timely manner. Moreover, at this time, a large number of silk was on the market, and the price fell, so the silk brocade and fabrics were purchased and the right time was sought to sell them again.

The key to using this means to do business is to seize the favorable opportunity for purchase and sale, and make a decision as soon as the time comes. However, how to observe the timing in real time, accurately grasp the opportunity, and lose no time in buying and selling, there is a lot of attention here.

Zhu Gui had the intention of learning in his heart, and asked quietly: "Since you can already do a big deal in grain, how can you think of opening this restaurant?" ”

"Buying and selling grain is time-consuming and laborious, and the slightest carelessness will cost you. The idea of opening a restaurant has long been the brother of the Wang family, and the matter of opening a restaurant is like this. Du Qian opened the chatterbox, and he couldn't take it.

It turned out that in March this year, the original restaurant was on fire in the back kitchen due to careless management. Although there were no casualties, it was also unlucky. In addition, in the process of fighting the fire, the front hall and the upper floor were also affected, not only the decoration was destroyed, but also most of the eaves and windows were damaged.

Coincidentally, Wang Lun was in Jeju City, and in the process of helping to fight the fire, he also paid attention to the layout and layout of the restaurant, as well as the housing materials, etc. Wang Lun has long had the intention of opening a restaurant and making friends with people from all walks of life while making money. So without waiting for the firefighting to end, he immediately went out of the city to purchase building materials such as bamboo, wood, bricks, reeds, rafters, etc., and as long as he had these things, he immediately bought them all.

At the same time, Yuncheng County, Shouzhang County, Shanxian County, Dongping Fu and other neighboring prefectures and counties also sent people to buy a dry building materials. And because of the lack of capital, he only signed orders with a few merchants and occupied almost all the building materials in the vicinity.

After the fire, when the shopkeeper tried to buy building materials such as bricks, rafters, and truders, there were very few materials left for him. Seeing that there is no hope of renovating the restaurant, this cash cow is afraid that it will become a dead tree.

Just when the owner of the shop wanted to cry without tears and had nothing to do, Wang Lun met again, saying that he wanted to buy this place and open a restaurant. The owner of this shop thought that he would lose all his money, but he didn't expect Wang Lun to be willing to pawn it if the restaurant was too hot. So he immediately signed and drew the pledge, and then went to the county government for notarization.

Because Wang Lun helped the shopkeeper put out the fire, the shopkeeper had the impression in his heart that Wang Lun was a good person. Moreover, at that time, the owner thought that the restaurant was hopeless to reopen, and he was a little sorry for Wang Lun, so he only asked Wang Lun for one-fifth of the original price of the restaurant, and only two hundred taels of silver. Then he packed up and took his family to Hubei to join his wife and brother.

After that, everything went naturally, Wang Lun became the owner of the restaurant, bought back the building materials, and the restaurant was renovated and about to open. According to the current price of this restaurant, how can it be more than 1,000 taels of silver, Wang Lun has made a lot of money inside and out.

After listening to these causes and consequences, Zhu Gui was shocked and speechless for a long time. There are not a few people he knows, from high-ranking officials and nobles such as Chai Jin to Cao Taigong in the same county, to the peddler and his brother Zhu Fu Li Yun's apprentice. But there is no one who can do things like Wang Lun.

Maybe this is an opportunity for him, Zhu Gui thought to himself. "Wang Guanren doesn't look very old, but he is capable. Just these few things are convincing. After listening to Du Qian's admiration for Wang Lun, Zhu Gui also praised him.

"Hey! It's all drizzle, and the brother of the Wang family has a lot of skills. Let me tell you, in addition to reading, he also reads the art of war. I heard Wang Erlang say that the brother of the Wang family can also have a set of boxing skills, and he will brush a set of good marksmanship. ”

Listening to Du Qian say that Wang Lun knew how to use the art of war, Zhu Gui felt that these were normal, and he couldn't see through many places on Wang Guanren's body.

"That's right, Brother Du! Who is Wang Erlang in your mouth? Zhu Gui was really curious.

Du Qian, who originally said anything to Zhu Gui, suddenly spit out and said something for a long time. "Don't mention him, you can just run when you see him." Then he muttered, "I'm afraid I won't be able to run away." ”

When Zhu Gui saw Du Qian's appearance, he knew some stories, but he didn't want to ask again.

Still Du Qian couldn't hold his breath, and asked Zhu Gui quietly as if he remembered something: "Brother Zhu, how many can you fight with your current skills?" “

Du Qian finally asked himself a question, although it was more taboo, Zhu Gui still replied conservatively: "There are more than a dozen ordinary people, and seven or eight have practiced." ”

"Oh!" Du Qian responded very disappointedly, and then stopped talking, which made Zhu Gui puzzled.
