Chapter 282: The Firm
Wasn't Hao blank in Western Xia? Why was Zhao Gu able to find him in Kaifeng City?
This also starts from when Zhao Gu was still in Taoyuan, since Xia Weibing and Li Jiqian moved to Zhao Guangyi, Li indifferently went to Western Xia without a trace, replacing Hao Bai as the leader of the 20,000 cavalry, and Hao Bai returned to Kaifeng to deal with the affairs of the trading house.

Compared with Li Danran, Hao Bairan's brain is still weaker after all, and in a place like Xixia, it is easier for a smart talent like Li Danran to get mixed up, which is why Zhao Gu asked them to change their positions.
In addition, Zhao Gu also asked Xiao Jiu's two elder brothers, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, to follow Li Danran and protect him.
In view of the fact that the industry under Zhao Gu's name is no longer small, he simply established a commercial bank, which is an organization similar to the later group.
This firm is naturally composed of Baiwei Restaurant, Xianyun Villa, Liu Ji Garment Shop and Brothers' Dart Shop, Hao Bai is the chief shopkeeper on the bright side, Zhao Gu is behind the scenes, and Liu Qiaoqiao and Shangguan Sisi will also go over to deal with matters on time.
When the firm was established, Zhao Gu did not make it known to everyone, but the insiders celebrated it for a while, and then it started to operate directly.
The operation of the commercial bank is not difficult, originally these four major industries were handled by a few of them, but now it is just to let some other treasurers of the four major industries know each other, so as to facilitate faster operation in the future.
And the name of this firm, in line with Zhao Gu's always low-key principle, he gave the firm a name that is also very low-key, called Zhuozhou firm, in fact, it is the same as his titled name, so that in the eyes of outsiders, this firm is naturally bland, after all, the Great Song Dynasty business is prosperous, and there are countless commercial houses named after place.
After entering the trading house, Zhao Gu directly found the chief shopkeeper Hao Baibai, Hao Baibai realized that Zhao Gu must have something to find him, so he waved off the others and invited Zhao Gu to the study.
After entering the study, Hao Bai smiled and said, "Big brother, what do you have to say?" ”
Zhao Gu replied: "It's nothing, I just want to see how you have integrated the business bank, you haven't encountered any difficulties here, right?" ”
"That's not true, since the accounts of our firm have learned the bookkeeping method you handed over to them, even people like me who don't know a few big characters can understand the accounts, and as long as they understand the accounts, the firm will naturally be almost integrated, after all, when I was indifferent before, I have already dealt with the affairs of major industries."
"Well, that's good, are the specific data statistics of the commercial bank counted? Show me. Zhao Gu nodded.
Hao Bai answered, took out a thick account book from the desk, and handed it to Zhao Gu.
Zhao Gu took it and couldn't help but be surprised, since he decided to implement the plan of one state, one house, one restaurant, one mountain villa and one cloth imitation, it has only been more than half a year now, but he did not expect that his industry already has such a large base.
The Great Song Dynasty originally had more than 400 state capitals, plus Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Xixia Tenth Road, a total of 500 state capitals, but his Zhuozhou Commercial Bank had already spread its industry to 200 state capitals, accounting for more than one-third.
Looking at the employees among them, the standard configuration of a restaurant is a shopkeeper, ten cooks, twenty assistant cooks, ten dishwashers, twenty runners, and five purchasers, which makes sixty-six people, and the total number of restaurants in the two hundred state capitals is 13,200.
The standard configuration of Xianyun Villa is one shopkeeper, 20 runners, 20 maids, and 100 other cooks, florists, boatmen, etc., and there are 28,000 people in 200 state capitals.
There are 100 men and women dyeing and transporting workers, a total of 20,000 people.
Combined, there were more than 60,000 people eating under Zhao Gu, plus more than 100 dart heads and supervisors of the commercial bank, Zhao Gu became the big boss of more than 60,000 people.
And relying on these three major industries and more than 60,000 people, how much should Zhuozhou Commercial Bank make in a day? I'm afraid that if it is calculated, it will also make people's hearts beat violently!
At present, most of the industries of these 200 state capitals are in progress, and the employees have been found, of which ten state capitals have been put into operation, and the rest are about to operate, some are under construction, and some have just selected addresses.
But it can be expected that when the industries of these two hundred state capitals are completed, the income of the commercial banks will be an astronomical amount, and at that time, even if Zhao Gu is described as a rich country, it is not an exaggeration.
Zhao Gu knows the truth of high-rise buildings from the ground, so although there are some surprises, he still resists Hao Bai to step by step, and the other is to do a good job of secrecy, the firm can make money quietly, but it can't expose all its strength in front of people.
According to Zhao Gu's idea, he only established a different industry in one state capital, which would not attract the attention of the imperial court, so even if he made a lot of money, it would not arouse Zhao Guangyi's jealousy.
After all, this is not the Internet era, and some of the governors of various state capitals will never meet each other in their lives, so naturally they will not know that in other state capitals, there are also Zhao Gu's industries.
And if it is just a state capital, even if the officials know that there is Zhao Gu's industry, they will not report it to Zhao Guangyi, even if Zhao Guangyi knows, he will not think it is a big deal, and the Great Song Dynasty will not care whether a prince will participate in commerce.
And because the imperial court will not care too much about the local industry, I am afraid that within a year or two, Zhao Guangyi will not be able to pay attention to the shocking financial resources of the Zhuozhou Commercial Bank, and what Zhao Gu wants Hao Bai to do is to hide the fact that he is about to become rich as much as possible in the past two years.
The only thing Zhao Gu is worried about is those trading houses that go south and north, they are doing business in various places in the Great Song Dynasty all year round, and they will naturally be aware of the big moves of Zhuozhou commercial houses, and there will inevitably be the support of officials behind these big commercial houses.
It seems that it's time for Zhao Gu to give himself more chips!
After coming out of Zhuozhou Commercial Bank, Zhao Gu has been thinking about this problem, how can he increase his chips on himself, so that everyone does not dare to despise him, and even attach importance to him, fear him, and even slap him?
Just imagine, if his prestige is big enough to make people fearful, not to mention whether Zhao Guangyi will easily attack him, will those officials, families, and nobles still dare to oppose him openly?
