Chapter 61 Restaurant Disputes
Just as Xiao Quzhi said, the two drunken immortal buildings in the immortal drunken and immortal brewing sold for a sky-high price of fifty yuan per jar, and they were sold in limited quantities every day, but it caused a wave in Chang'an. Officials, wealthy businessmen, literati and artists who come here every day are simply in an endless stream.
In addition to diners, the most popular ones are rangers and martial arts masters. Xiao Qubing wants to run a trading company in the four seas, in addition to needing some merchants to join in, he also needs thousands of guards.
According to Xiao Quai's assumption, the Four Seas Trading Company will have to do business throughout the Tang Dynasty at that time, especially to travel along the Silk Road to sell goods to Byzantium and Dashi, thousands of miles away There are countless bandits along the way, how can there be fewer guards?
In particular, they had to travel all over the steppe, and the Uighurs, Khitans, Xi, Tubo, and Nanzhao all went, on the one hand, doing business to make their money and destroying their economy; On the other hand, it can also collect intelligence and carry out espionage activities.
Go to these places, and the people there go up to the chieftains, down to the common herdsmen and barbarians, who are not wild and marauding. If you don't have enough force, people won't do business with you at all, and they will directly use the robbery.
As a result, trading companies need many, many guards, and the added benefit of being that these guards can be trained to serve as a reserve for the army in case of emergency.
So Xiao Qubing asked the first batch of more than 100 rangers who followed him to go around to publicize, telling their ranger friends, if you don't want to be a soldier, you can go to be a guard, and the pay is good.
These attracted candidates were all gathered in the backyards of the two Zuixian Buildings for assessment. Those who are not qualified in martial arts and character will be given 30 wen for running expenses, where will they come from; Those who meet the standards in all aspects have good grades and abilities, and they will be uniformly arranged by people for food and lodging, and they will be raised first; And if it is particularly excellent, please enter the restaurant to entertain you with good wine and food, and then take it to the Xiao Mansion in Qinrenfang.
At this moment, when Xiao Quzhi and He Ke'er rode together from the palace to the Drunken Immortal Building in the West City, these applicants were invited to the restaurant for the first time in a few days.
At this time, it was almost half past two in the afternoon, and the hotel had already passed, but the drunken fairy building was still full. Although the Immortal Drunk and Immortal Brew in the Drunken Immortal Mansion are sold in limited quantities, other drinks are not included.
Many wealthy businessmen were already slightly drunk at this time, and then they saw the two champion generals, Xiao Quai's personal guards, leading a burly man with a dark face and a weathered face into the restaurant.
The big man looked rough and heroic, with a beard like a halberd, although he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and he couldn't say anything shabby, but he didn't seem to care about it.
In comparison, the two well-dressed guards of General Xiao, although they were also fierce and majestic, were compared in momentum, and they looked like two followers in front of him, no wonder the two of them looked very respectful to him.
The diners turned their heads and looked at them for two or three seconds, slightly strange and puzzled, and then turned back to continue drinking and bragging. If you don't die, you heard the two guards greet you and come over to run the hall, and asked politely: "Brother Nan, what do you eat, just order." ”
Then I heard the black-faced man's angry voice loudly: "It doesn't matter if you eat, I heard that the drunken immortal building immortal drunk and immortal brewing are very famous, give me a jar each." ”
The diners were stunned for a moment. Two jars of wine are a hundred, look at your clothes in tatters, can you drink it? Besides, this wine is only served three jars a day in each drunken immortal building. With our status, we are so rich that we haven't drunk it until now, and you have to come to two altars at once, why are you?
……
Xiao Qu talked eloquently, from hunger marketing to consumer psychology, to make money from rich people, and then use the money to open factories to recruit workers, so that he can feed many individual poor families.
First make money in the high-end market, and then do the low-end market to return to the world, and at the same time, you can control the economic lifeline and build a huge business empire......
In the end, Xiao Quzhi held He Keer's hand and said gently, hoping that He Keer could help him take care of his money bag and build this business empire little by little, of course, I will give you the greatest support in the future.
"Xiao Lang, Ke'er understands what you mean, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"
He Ke'er listened attentively, thinking carefully about every word Xiao Quzhi said, and his eyes were getting brighter and brighter. She is now more and more admiring and admiring Xiao Quai, handsome, brave, temperament and gentleness, not to mention, even so proficient in the way of business!
And he knows almost everything, he can conjure soap and emollient glycerin from ordinary lard and alkaline noodles, and he can cook, tell stories and jokes. These are nothing, he still has a heart to help the world and serve the people.
Although he can also play tricks to deceive people, he does so out of good intentions, such as tricking Ah Gong into revealing his glass firing skills to him, but it is also because he can really help improve it.
The more He Ke'er thought about it, the more she felt that Xiao Qubing was too good and perfect, and her heart was beautiful. I am really lucky to meet Xiao Lang, and I will soon become her wife, be his virtuous helper, and start a career with him. Thinking of this, He Keer felt full of strength again.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you solve the problem. And you can usually ask your grandfather, father-in-law and mother-in-law for advice. Xiao Quzhi touched the back of his head with his forehead and said softly.
It had been nine months since he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, and Xiao Quzhi knew that in the Tang Dynasty, housewives were generally in charge of family property and the economy. The keys to the warehouse at home are all in the hands of the housewife, and if the man is in charge himself, he will be laughed at.
Officials in the Tang Dynasty were not allowed to do business, but most of the officials actually had shops and other industries, and those merchant shopkeepers were actually equivalent to professional managers in later generations, and those who directly dealt with these shopkeepers were the wives and housewives of the family.
Because of such a social environment, Xiao Quzhi plans to hand over all the financial and economic matters in the future to He Keer, after all, his time and energy are limited, and there are many things.
I don't know what is wrong with Li Longji's brain, tomorrow An Lushan will go to Huaqing Palace, and Li Longji will go to greet him himself. After sending He Ke'er to the Drunken Immortal Tower, Xiao Qu was sick and had to rush back to Huaqing Palace to prepare.
On the other hand, the reason is that Xiao is not good at doing business. He just knows this technique, but knowing it doesn't mean he can do it well. He Keer is obviously better than herself, at least in the past few years, she has been independently managing a restaurant.
Xiao Qu's illness was investigated, and the restaurant was run by her well. Moreover, Xiao Quzhi also found that He Keer is very smart, and many things can be understood at a glance, and he can understand them as soon as he says them.
She is about to become her wife and become the closest person to her, and it is most suitable for He Keer to take charge of the social affairs of the four seas.
It's not easy to hand it over to someone else Xiao Quai, or it won't be long before the Four Seas Trading Company will become an invisible empire that can influence and even control the lives of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, and it will be difficult to ensure that that person is not ambitious, rather than cultivating a person and killing him in the end, it is better to start putting an end to future troubles now.
He Ke'er looked very happy, she made up her mind to run the Sihai Trading Company well with Xiao Quzhi, thinking that Xiao Qubing trusted herself, and she could help him share some things, her heart was also sweet and relaxed.
"Xiao Lang, I found that you seem to have a special hostility towards the grassland Hu people, you see that you exchange a jar of wine for two war horses, and two catties of tea for a war horse, it's really ......"
"What is it?"
"It's so black-hearted......"
"If you say it, I am a black heart, earn all their war horses, cattle and sheep, and let them make trouble for the frontier again."
"Well, I'll help you earn it together."
The two looked at each other and smiled, looking like a team of charlatan thieves who were about to do bad things. This wife is well married, the tacit understanding is too high, Xiao Quzhi can't help but feel a little proud.
Looking at He Ke'er's smiling face, Xiao Qubing was about to do something, when there was a sudden noise in front, and when he looked up, it turned out that the Drunken Immortal Building had arrived.
The sound of the noise came from the Drunken Immortal Tower.
