Chapter 18 Immerse yourself in business
Each gate of Luoyang City is set up with three roads after entering, and the north and south are connected, the east and west are coherent, so the twelve city gates have nine main roads of warp and weft, and the whole city is divided into a regular small square, so the city layout has directly affected China for thousands of years, and you can know by looking at the tofu blocks in Beijing today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhou Bian and others walked along Dingmen Nei Street to the city according to the agreement of Jian Jia in Chengzhou, looked at the inn from inn to inn, and finally met a big acquaintance.
I saw Jian Jia waving his hands excitedly, seeing Zhou Bian approaching, he threw off the guy who wanted to support him, trotted over, carefully hugged Zhou Bian, and walked towards the place where Fang was standing. As soon as Zhou Bian looked up, there was a plaque hanging on the inn, writing Laifu Inn, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, the royal family's business in Luoyang was actually such a local name.
Although the name of this inn is earthy, it is quite big, there are three entrances, it is a hall after approaching, and there are small rooms separated from each other, it is noon at this time, most of the guests have kneeling in the small rooms, or burying their heads in eating or drinking and having fun, and no one has noticed the entry of Zhou Bian and others. After passing through the hall, there was a small courtyard, thinking of the spaciousness of this entrance, Zhou Bian knew that there must be courtyards on both sides of this small courtyard, so he listened to the supervisor Jia's introduction, "Childe, this is the place where the guests eat in front, and the place where the guests live in the back." "Before entering Luoyang, Zhou Bian explained to everyone that he should be called Gongzi, not Wang.
Saying that, everyone walked through a few courtyards, thinking that they had already walked very deep, only to see that this small courtyard was quite new, and when they pushed the door in, they saw that all kinds of furniture were fully equipped, and the supervisor bowed and said, "Then the aggrieved king temporarily lives here, this is the best place in the inn." "At this time, there is no one else, so Jian Jia naturally calls the king again.
Zhou Bian looked around, the walls were painted with white paint, and the curtains were made of fine materials, which were no worse than those in the palace, and I didn't know if it was meant to be, or if he knew that the king was going to come here on purpose, so it was inconvenient to ask at the moment, so he said, "Do those guards have a place to live?" ”
"Don't worry, the king has all been arranged, and people can live on both sides of the king's courtyard, and there is no problem with safety."
As he was talking, a girl ran into the room, "King, you're here, Xiu'er wants you to death." ”
Then Zhou Mi Fan Yu and others also ran in, Zhou Bian was overjoyed when he saw everyone, it turned out that Zhou Bian ordered thirty personal guards to come to Luoyang this time, and Zhou Mi Fan Yu and other ten people were one step ahead, and took the little maid Xiu'er to Luoyang to fight and stand in front. At this time, Xiu'er's mood was relaxed, and she had walked out of the shadow of her sister's tragic death, and the whole person looked particularly lively and cute.
"King, this Luoyang City is so big, it's much bigger than Cheng Zhou, Brother Fan Yu took Xiu'er to visit for a few days and didn't finish it. If the king wants to go out, he must take Xiu'er with him. "As a king, in the eyes of people, Zhou Bian is very close.
After hearing this, Zhou Bian also smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and rub Xiu'er's little face, "You, your king didn't come to Luoyang to play, how can I have time to take you out to play." After that, she laughed out loud, but it made Xiu'er blush and squeeze out water.
After Zhou Bian finished meeting with everyone, Jian Jia bowed to the side and said, "King, according to the king's orders, the old slave has called the shopkeeper of this inn and the rest of the royal business, just in the front yard, can the king summon him?" ”
"Are these people reliable?" It is also necessary for Zhou Bian to be worried, after all, his identity is there, and he is coming from Weifu.
"Don't worry, the king, these people are all children of my royal family, and they are closely related to the royal family, sharing weal and woe, besides, those who have other ideas have long left and live alone."
"Then there will be Mr. Lao." Zhou Bian nodded.
said that the prison leader took the lead, and Zhou Bian followed and walked out. In front of the courtyard is a small living room, and it seems that this prison armor is still very well prepared. There were already seven or eight men seated in the hall, some in the prime of life, others with gray hair. When these people saw that it was Supervisor Jia, they hurriedly got up and saluted, but Supervisor A hurriedly turned sideways and got out of the way, and a little boy came out behind him. Just as he was in doubt, he heard Jian Jia arch his hand at the little boy and say loudly, "See the king!" ”
When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately understood, and they knew earlier that the chief manager had summoned everyone, saying that there were important people coming in Chengzhou, and they were still discussing whether it was the Taishi or the Young Master just now, but they didn't think that it was the prince who came. At this time, when they heard that the prison guards were all saluting, they did not doubt him, and they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison, "Long live the king!" ”
But he heard the supervisor cough lightly, "The king is concerned about the revitalization plan of my Zhou room, thinking that a strong country must first enrich the country, and soon after he ascended the throne, he came to Luoyang to care about our business." And the king is the weight of the royal family, the key to the rise and fall of the Great Zhou, this time is the micro service to come, the person who knows is not the important minister is the person who is important, in order to ensure the safety of the king, you must control your mouth, if you let me know whose mouth is not strict, do not blame our family for being welcome! ”
Everyone hurriedly said yes, and after the prison guard helped Zhou Bian to sit on the upper seat, he signaled everyone to get up and take their seats.
Zhou Bian looked down and saw that these eight people had different eyes, some were stable, some were shrewd, but there was an old man with chaotic eyes, and he didn't know if he could see the road clearly when he went out. After sweeping everyone one by one, Zhou Bian turned his head to the supervisor and said, "Lord Steward, can you introduce this king one by one?" There is also the business status of each business. ”
"Yes, my lord." Jian Jia saluted Zhou Bian and turned to everyone. "Zihei, the shopkeeper of the Rifle Inn where the king lives. The Rifle Inn used to be the largest place run by my royal family, and after deducting various expenses and the wages of hired workers, it could save about 1,000 yuan per month, which was the biggest income of my royal family in Luoyang. As he spoke, a middle-aged fat man stood up and saluted Zhou Bian. Luoyang City has developed commerce and trade, and the princes and nobles have little power, so the employment is still based on employment, and it is natural to start work, this Zhou Bian has long understood clearly, but this inn does not look small, this income is not much, and it is still the largest income, it seems that the royal family does not know much about business.
Sure enough, Hearing Jian Jia continue, "Cai Zhi, Ziwei, Li Chang, and Du Yi, these four people are in charge of the other four smaller inns, and these four families have a total monthly income of 1,000 yuan. Four more stood up and saluted.
Zhou Bian nodded slightly, relying on this income, the royal family is not even a rich man.
"Uncle Li and Shen Qiang, each in charge of a grain store, now the grain business is sluggish, and when the account was settled at the end of last year, they lost a total of 600 yuan." The prison has a guilty face. The two men stood up and saluted, also with their heads bowed.
Zhou Bian hurriedly said softly, "Don't blame you, the price of this grain is destined by heaven, there are ups and downs, this king as the son of heaven still can't know, let alone you." As long as you are faithful to my royal family, this king will remember it in his heart. The two men hurriedly thanked them. The way of management is loose and tight, and Zhou Bian naturally knows it.
After a few more words of comfort, he listened to the supervisor continue, "This last one is not far away, and he used to run an ironware shop. The first few shops have been open for a long time, and this iron shop was opened ten years ago, seeing that the ironware business was booming, the business was good when it first opened, but then it was not good, and last year it became the biggest loss, losing 2,000 yuan a year. Now it has been converted into a car shop, specializing in BMW cars made by the king, but it has become the largest business of the royal family in Luoyang today. ”
Hehe, science and technology will always be the primary productive force, Zhou Bian thought in his heart, but said in his mouth, "This BMW car is also a loss to Shen Bufa and others, otherwise it would not be like this." Now the business of this car shop should be taken care of well, and the signboard must not be harmed. ”
This son is not far from a man in the prime of life, thinking that he was born in iron, and his speech fell to the ground like thunder, "The king can rest assured, the little one knows, according to the king's instructions, each car has explained the precautions, and also pointed out the license plate to the guests." This license plate was engraved according to Zhou Bian's idea as a symbol of status and a certificate of warranty.
Because it was a business built by himself, Zhou Bian couldn't help but ask a few more questions, "Is the BMW car selling well, if you bought the car first, is there any problem with using it?" ”
"Back to the king, this BMW car will be sold out as soon as it arrives, and I don't have to worry about not being able to sell it, but it would be nice if I could produce more." Zi Buyuan replied honestly.
"These cars are just a test of the market, so there is no large-scale production, and this king will consider it in the future. So does everyone who bought the car know that this car was produced by my royal family? According to Zhou Bian's thoughts, it is natural to keep a low profile.
Sure enough, Zi said not far away, "When the young master first came to Luoyang, he only said that the car was bought from a small shop. And no one has paid attention to my small iron shop for ten years, so no one should know that it is the property of the royal family. ”
"It's so good, but we still have to pay attention to secrecy, so as not to let outsiders know that it is my royal family's property. This is true not only of this car shop, but of all businesses. Zhou Bian has decided that he will keep a low profile in doing business in the future and not play the royal flag, firstly, because of his reputation, and secondly, there are many things to do.
Supervisor A and others hurriedly claimed that it was.
After chatting casually for a few more words, Zhou Bian left first, and Jian Jia immediately caught up. "The king is dissatisfied with my royal business, the old slave runs between Chengzhou and Luoyang all the year round, and there is still a place that he can't keep an eye on, and he still looks forward to the king Haihan."
Zhou Bian shook his head and said, "The chief manager has thought a lot, and if he can do this, this king is already full." However, in the future, with the king himself in charge, this business will definitely be good, and the chief don't have to worry. It's just that I'm afraid that some of my subordinates will not accept the management, alas, I can only use it first, and then choose it later. ”
Jian Jia nodded and said yes, but he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, I saw that he thought about it and then turned around and said, "The king has just come to Luoyang, and he has to get up early tomorrow, and there are some places that the king must go." ”
"Where?" Zhou Bian couldn't help but wonder.
"Taimiao, Zongmiao and Kao Palace." Jian Jia bowed and said. At the mention of these words, Jian Jia looked more respectful than usual, as if these words represented the divine and supreme authority.
