Chapter 39: Greasing and Whitewashing
It will take time for the shocks and new pamphlets of the Academy to spread to all corners of the country, and without a fast communication tool, it will take a long time for the news to spread. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What happened in the Capital School Palace did not have the slightest impact on Mincheng at this time, but Jian Chen had already become famous in Mincheng.
The fact that Li Yun came to look for Chen Jian was spread by Chen Jian with ulterior motives before, and it has become a big deal and everyone knows about it, and many speculations or real details have become a topic of conversation among people in the market.
first became famous in drama, and then was recommended by an old man in the capital school palace to become a disciple in chemistry.
If any of these two things happen to one person, it can cause a shock, not to mention that these two things actually appeared in one person, and they are two completely unrelated things.
Because of these two things, Jian Chen finally had the opportunity to be invited to some banquets, and it was really no longer because of Chen Siwen's relationship, and even met some people who he had no chance to meet in the past.
Young and promising, with a bright future, all kinds of halos in his body, he has won respect or superficial respect. Chen Jian enjoys all the conveniences brought by becoming famous at a young age, and maintains his image of changing his past wrongs.
By the way, Jian Chen secretly put the orchids he had prepared a long time ago and the rhizomes that he took care of with the help of Lin Xi into the market, and harvested a wave of them, but they did not cause a shock in the market for the time being.
He received nearly 30,000 silver coins in cash, as well as some nominal cashable collateral, such as title deeds, mills, some cotton cloth, looms, waterwheels, and so on. It's just that these things don't really belong to him until a year later, and before that, the original owner can nominally be redeemed with money.
Chen Jian calculated, if this false prosperity suddenly collapsed at this time, in his own hands alone, dozens of originally rich small lands would be mainly bankrupt or even in debt, and dozens of people might lose all their money and the wealth they had accumulated for a lifetime would become an orchid.
As for the people involved in the whole market, there must be more, and now they are all joining this crazy gluttony, and once the bubble bursts, there will definitely be many people who will become prostitutes, many people will commit suicide, and many people will die.
This was predictable from the beginning, but the only thing that was unpredictable was when the bubble would burst.
Chen Jian stroked the silvery, tempting coins, thinking that he finally had his first pot of gold, and it was a heavy sum that would be enough to put himself in Mincheng to make him rise to the top.
But this amount of money is still too little compared to what he wants to do, Chen Jian has been to see the kind of cargo ship that Chen Siwen said, which is not suitable for long-distance sailing, if you want a few ships that can sail far, you need a lot of money, and you need a lot of craftsmen to try and change little by little.
It takes money and time.
However, since he has the first pot of gold, he has the basis for doing things, he has been prepared, and he has also thought of ways to make money.
But before he can get down to business, he needs to do another thing at the same time.
The money is dirty, so Chen Jian feels that he should wash the dirt and blood on his body in advance, not only to whitewash himself in advance, not only to get himself involved in the despair and anger when the bubble bursts, but also to go further before being regarded as a kind person by the people of Mincheng, a great good person.
…………
In Mincheng, just after the New Year, the discussion about Chen Jian's young fame gradually dimmed, but then another incident brought Chen Jian into everyone's field of vision again and became a new topic.
On the streets of Mincheng, people stepped on the confetti of fireworks and firecrackers left behind by the Chinese New Year, and craned their necks to look at a strange job post.
Most people can read and write, and even if they don't know much, there is nothing obscure about the words on the notice, so they can naturally read through it.
"I made some money the other day, so I want to do some good deeds and do more good deeds with the three thousand silver coins I earned."
"I set up a small trading company, and relied on these 3,000 silver coins as funds to transfer goods between the north and the south."
"Half of the money we earn every year is used to buy even a bowl of broth, a pair of cloth shoes, and a rag for the poor children in the workhouse. It's the smallest thing I can do. ”
"So to recruit a group of people, I need to manage the funds and make sure that they are used where I want them to be used, and not misappropriated. It is also necessary to recruit a group of people who can escort the goods, resell them with the ship, or buy and resell. ”
"Employees are required to be literate and have completed an enlightened education. Salary is negotiable, in addition to salary, 30% of the money earned each year is distributed as dividends. ”
After reading such a short and strange job posting, there was a lively discussion.
"Three thousand silver coins...... Oh my God, how much does this cost? I've never seen so much money in my life. ”
"Jian Chen is such a good boy. There are so few people like him nowadays...... Not to mention anything else, take out 3,000 silver coins at once for those poor children in the workhouse, and put it in Mincheng, which is also the only one. ”
"yes, a good guy. Thinking about it, only people with such good thoughts in their hearts can write a drama like that of an orphan. If you want me to say that this is the blessing of the ancestors, don't forget, he even shocked those learned people in the capital palace. ”
"You say that you can really take out 30% of the money you make every year as dividends and give them to those hired workers? And take half of it to buy some food for those poor children, and he can only take 20% himself? ”
"Nonsense, people directly took out 3,000 silver coins to make a small trading company, maybe in his heart, money is not what he wants to pursue at all. It is not without such a good-hearted person. Besides, Chen Jian is about to go to the capital school palace, maybe people's minds are to do learning. ”
"That's right. Three thousand silver coins is not a small amount, and if you do it well, you can make hundreds of dollars a year, if not much. Thirty percent of a few hundred is also a lot of money, and those who have money will not be hired by the hired hands, and these hundreds of silver coins are a lot of money in the eyes of hired workers. ”
"But if Jian Chen goes to the capital to do his studies, what will happen to this trading company?"
"It should be like those firms, there are people who are in charge of the accounts, and there are people who are in charge of buying and selling. It's just that there are people who have to keep an eye on what happens to the money that is donated to the workhouse every year. ”
"Either way, it's a great thing. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do it. ”
With all kinds of speculations and praises, and with all kinds of thoughts, and all kinds of people for different purposes, they found this newly opened trading house according to the address stated on the notice.
In Jian Chen's view, this is not the right thing or what he wants to do, just a tool to whitewash himself.
Before he was sure that he was going to get down to business, Jian Chen wanted to have a good chat with his father, and he would talk openly and honestly, including the causes of these orchid mania and the manipulation behind the scenes.
The first is to prove that he has grown up, and the second is that Chen Jian needs to build on his own growth, hoping that Chen Siwen will tell him who people can be used, who can be approached, and whether there is a big tree that can enjoy the shade......
