Chapter 175: Want a Piece of the Pie? Then take a stake
"Name?"
"Wang Denghai."
"Age?"
"I'm a blacksmith."
"How many people are in the family?"
"My wife, and my little girl."
……
Chu Fan stood at the head of the Shahe Bridge, watching Doudou and the others sit in a row on the Mazha, asking while crookedly recording the basic information of the recruited Liaodong refugees, and he was very satisfied.
When he came back from Lushun, he didn't even care about his home, and rushed to Shahe as soon as possible, just to see the situation of the pillar recruiting people - it's the eighth day of the first month of April, if you don't recruit people quickly, how can you get 50,000 cigarettes in June?
In addition to the 500 female workers, Chu Fan also asked the pillar to pay attention to recruiting craftsmen - not to mention that the construction of Ushijima needed craftsmen such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons, Chu Fan now thought that in addition to cigarettes, some other products beyond this era could also be prepared for production.
The simplest is refined salt and sugar, which only need to be dissolved, filtered, and steamed.
MSG can also be tried to produce, although monosodium glutamate can't be made, but the sea worm called sea intestine is the best substitute for MSG - sun-dried and ground into powder and bagged.
In addition, Chu Fan wants to start laying the commercial network in the north and south of the river, and those apprentices at the lowest level are also indispensable, and Chu Fan also emphasized this point when he explained the pillars.
So in the end, the total number of displaced people recruited this time reached more than 1,100 people.
Originally, I was worried about such a large scale, and I was afraid that the pillar would not be straight, but Chu Fan went to the scene to take a look, hey! This kid is really good, although he is too busy to touch the ground, he is still well organized.
Looking at these homeless people who bowed to him with happy faces, Chu Fan's heart was secretly refreshed - these people were the cornerstone of his future industrial kingdom.
The escort team has also expanded to 100 people, this is the first batch of people recruited after the pillar returns, they are all young people who are in good physical condition and look smart-Chu Fan went to pick up Liu Zhongwen, just to let him hurry up and train the newly recruited escort team.
"Young master, Zhang Xiaoyi, that bastard wants to withdraw!"
Patronizing and watching the recruitment of homeless people, Chu Fan didn't notice that Ge Bi didn't know when he came, and angrily complained to Chu Fan in a low voice.
"Withdraw? What do you mean? Chu Fan asked with some surprise.
"He said that the sea was too rough and that he had to feed the fish if he was not careful, so he didn't want to do it anymore," Ge Bi said more and more angrily, "I knew that this bastard was going to have a moth...... At the beginning, everyone has joined the shares, but he is not the only one, but he is not waiting to return to Dengzhou to share his share, and become a rich man with peace of mind? …… Ahh This unambitious coward! ”
“…… What about the others? What do you think? Chu Fan asked with a deep groan.
"Everybody's angry!" Ge Bi said and raised his voice, "It is said that the young master is so capable, and he is benevolent and righteous, and it is a virtue that has been accumulated in several lifetimes to be able to follow the young master...... This Zhang Xiaoyi is really blind! ”
Hearing that only Zhang Xiaoyi was leaving, Chu Fan felt a little relieved, nodded and said, "Uncle Ge, if he wants to be blind, let him be blind, everyone has their own ambitions, let's not force it, give him his share...... The point is that you have to calm everyone down. ”
"Well, I know what to do." Ge Bi turned around and left.
As soon as he saw Ge Bi leave, the pillar came with someone again.
At first glance, this person knew that he was a first-class person in the accounting room, and it was difficult to walk with a big belly.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Zi introduced Chu Fan, he understood that this was the account room that the royal court tried to make a new move, specifically to deal with the copper ingots and the Chu family's house.
After some politeness, Chu Fan took him back to his home in Wanzikou Village, handed over the copper ingot to him, and exchanged it for the deed of his own house.
In addition, Chu Fan also handed him a silver ticket of 3,000 taels and told him that this was a pension for Chen Shangren's family - the wind and waves were urgent, and Chen Shangren fell into the sea This set of rhetoric, Chu Fan has already made up.
The account room took the silver ticket, but he was not in a hurry to leave, and Ai Ai made a big turn before he got to the point, and asked Chu Fan what he planned to do next.
Chu Fan understood as soon as he heard it, Wang Ting tried to see that he had made money, and he planned to cooperate with him next.
If you want to cooperate, you must invest real money!
These days, Chu Fan has also thought clearly, he can't hide the fact that he has made a lot of money selling cigarettes, so he simply opens his door to do business - whether you are the prefect of Dengzhou, Shandong Zhentai, or a big family, a wealthy businessman, as long as you are willing to contribute money and shares, Chu Fan will follow!
The more people whose interests are bundled, the more stable their business will be, and Chu Fan has already thought about this clearly.
"Young Master Chu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to deal with it like this, right?" After listening to Chu Fan's answer, the account room stroked his beard and muttered, "Before coming, Lord Zhentai has repeatedly emphasized that the old man has made great efforts in the trip of Prince Chu to the country, otherwise how could Master Chu be so smooth?" …… There was an agreement last year, although it was not clear how to divide the accounts, but the two partnerships to run the Japanese maritime trade is already a certainty...... Now that the son has pulled out this share capital, how can he reply to Lord Zhentai? ”
Dusting off the corners of his robe, Chu Fan replied lightly, "There is indeed an agreement...... However, it was an agreement between Fan and Chen Shangren, and now that Chen Shangren has unfortunately passed away, this agreement has naturally disappeared. "Think about Wang Ting's attempt to knock on his bones and suck the marrow at the beginning, and he is embarrassed to say something about what he did at the expense of this account!
"You...... You ......" The account room trembled and stammered for a long time before slipping over, "Young Master Chu, this Dengzhou ground is still under the rule of Lord Zhentai!" Don't you want to think about the consequences of your reckless behavior? ”
Chu Fanxin said, when enough people are recruited, Lao Tzu will go to Niudao, who is impatient to try this old dog with Wang Ting?
"Deng Shufang's words are wrong," Chu Fan responded indifferently, "Although I am just a showman, I also know that everything can't lift the word 'reason'...... I'm in the cigarette business, but I'm not in the business! …… This cigarette is to make money, but you also have to buy raw materials and recruit workers to produce them...... Besides, now this cigarette business is not mine alone, if I give the shares to the Lord of Zhentai, how should I explain to the Fujian maritime merchants who have paid the money? ”
The Deng accountant was choked by his words and almost lost his breath, but he was helpless, and finally stood up with hatred, and left angrily after dropping a sentence of "You are so self-conscious".
Watching him get into the car full of copper ingots and leave angrily, Chu Fan couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that tomorrow is the time to go to the government - the post of Cai Zhifu and the Dengzhou soldier Beidao has been sent for several days.
[The second bullet on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone, Chu Fan said, you can use tickets to buy shares :)]
