Dong Shaoqing got up after hearing this and said: "King Lantian made the words of the king of Lantian suddenly open his mouth, so it seems that this king Hu Feng is not really a paper tiger!" ”

"I'll put those troubles in the officialdom for you, and when it comes to the competition in the business field, it will depend on you Dong Shopkeeper!"

"King Lantian, with your words, I have a number in my heart!" Dong Shaoqing is confident.

"If I'm not mistaken, Shopkeeper Dong has already made a move to Wang Hufeng, right?" Li Tao asked with a smile.

"How did King Lantian know?" Dong Shaoqing was surprised.

"I went to the Qintian supervisor of Taichang Temple to ask, this year's climate is abnormal, and I am afraid that there will be a big drought next year. Many of Wang Hufeng's industries are rice and grain stores, and the shopkeeper Dong made a purchase of grain at this time, if it wasn't for Wang Hufeng, who would believe it? ”

Dong Shaoqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I thought I was doing secret, but I didn't expect to be seen through by King Lantian at a glance, ashamed!" ”

"During this time, Dong shopkeeper purchased a lot of grain, our warehouse will not be able to fit immediately, but there are still foreign merchants to deliver grain here every day, it is said that Wang Hufeng has released a word, and after the new grain comes down next year, it is the death date of your Dong shopkeeper. Tell me what you think! ”

Dong Shaoqing said bluntly: "King Lantian, the people take food as the sky, and among all the stored goods, food is the safest!" ”

Li Tao asked rhetorically: "A lot of our money is spent on buying grain, aren't you worried that this money will go down the drain?" ”

Dong Shaoqing interviewed eloquently: "King Lantian, everything in the world has its development law, and commodity prices also rise and fall. When the price is extremely expensive, it will return to the cheap, and the price will be extremely cheap. and it will return to its preciousness. As far as agriculture is concerned, the law is generally a bumper harvest every six years, a drought every six years, and a great famine every twelve years. Chang'an and the surrounding areas have had a bumper harvest for five years, and I feel that I can't wait for a great drought or famine to wake up, so I should take precautions to buy precious grain as soon as possible. ”

Li Tao smiled: "Sure enough, it's about the same as I expected." You did the right thing about buying food, but you didn't do it right! ”

Dong Shaoqing was stunned, and humbly asked: "King Lantian." You said, Dong listened! ”

Li Tao stared at Dong Shaoqing with blazing eyes: "Shopkeeper Dong is a smart person, if I tell a story, you will understand." ”

"Please!"

"A blind man came to a relative's house. After dark. His relatives kindly lit a lantern for him and told him that it was late and the road was dark, so let him make a lantern and go home! The blind man was furious, and his relatives knew that he was blind, and let himself light the way with a lantern, wasn't this laughing at himself? When his relatives saw that the blind man was displeased, they told him. He walked on the road at the same time as many people also walked on the road, leaving the blind with lanterns. It's so that others can see him and don't hit him. The blind man listened to it, and then he was relieved! ”

Dong Shaoqing seemed to have an understanding after hearing this: "King Lantian, you mean the big shopkeeper ...... them"

"One person counts short, everyone counts long, like overthrowing Wang Hufeng's big move, it is not enough to rely on one person, it depends on everyone's joint efforts. Shopkeeper Dong has far-reaching thoughts, but acting like this will not only cause others to misunderstand and think that you don't trust them, but also affect the final plan, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Dong Shaoqing said embarrassedly: "What King Lantian reminded me is that I did something wrong!" ”

Li Tao turned his head to the door and said, "Come in too!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the private room opened, and two people walked in, it was Fan Changfeng and Cheng Guoyu.

As soon as Fan Changfeng entered the door, he said to Dong Shaoqing: "Shopkeeper Dong, it's me who is not good, you have worked hard for the Fan family's business, but I am suspicious of you, I really can't stand you!" ”

Dong Shaoqing was also ashamed: "Big shopkeeper, I didn't do it right, I should have told you about this plan in advance, which made you embarrassed!" ”

Li Tao beckoned: "Since the words are here, then regardless of the previous suspicions, sit down and let's talk slowly!" ”

After the three of them sat down, Li Tao pondered and said: "I want to divide the work for you, in the future, Jiulang will be responsible for making important decisions and fund allocation, and will not participate in the operation of specific businesses." The shopkeeper Dong is responsible for the specific business management, and the shopkeeper Cheng assists the shopkeeper Dong in handling the business. At the end of each year, the shopkeeper Cheng should report the business management of the whole year to Jiulang. ”

Fan Changfeng said with a blank face: "Ah Tao, which are important matters?" ”

Li Tao smiled bitterly and said: "You can decide this yourself, for example, if you want to set up a Fan business in Luoyang, it is up to you to decide how big it is to set it up or not, and how to operate the business after the business is set up is responsible for the shopkeeper Dong." ”

Dong Shaoqing clapped his hands and said: "King Lantian means that according to the Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province of the imperial court, Zhongshu Province is responsible for issuing edicts, and Shangshu Province is responsible for implementing the edicts. ”

Dong Shaoqing explained this, and Fan Changfeng probably understood what Li Tao meant.

Li Tao glanced at the three of them and said, "I suggest that the three of you sit down and formulate a convenient protocol, so that everyone will know at a glance who should do their part in the future, and many misunderstandings will be avoided." ”

The three nodded yes.

Li Tao said again: "Jiulang, although you are responsible for decision-making, but before making a decision, you should listen to the opinions of Shopkeeper Dong and Shopkeeper Cheng, after all, they are more experienced to avoid decision-making mistakes." ”

Fan Changfeng smiled: "Don't worry, Ah Tao, I will!" ”

Li Tao turned around Dong Shaoqing again: "Similarly, shopkeeper Dong, if you have a big move in a specific business, it is best to take the initiative to communicate with Jiulang, this is not only respect for the big shopkeeper, but also will get his strong support, which is beneficial to you." ”

Dong Shaoqing got up and saluted Fan Changfeng: "Big shopkeeper, don't worry, I will definitely discuss with you in advance in the future for such a major event as this purchase of grain!" ”

Li Tao took over: "Jiulang, there is also the matter of the shopkeeper Dong letting the lifters stay for free, although I didn't ask him, but I think I can probably guess his intentions." ”

Fan Changfeng quietly waited for Li Tao's next words.

"Do you still remember when I gave the coachman copper coins at the beginning of the autumn wind in Changzi County, and asked them to bring guests for us?"

Fan Changfeng nodded: "Naturally remember!" ”

In fact, Dong's shopkeeper's move is similar to what happened back then. It's just that the coachman has become a lifter, and the copper money has become a free accommodation. ”

Fan Changfeng suddenly realized: "Shopkeeper Dong is passing on his name for us? ”

"The people who participated in the Chang'an examination are all from all over the Tang Dynasty, let them stay for free, they will be grateful and will inevitably promote the Fan family name for us, they return to their hometowns after word of mouth is a fortune that can be bought for a lot of money, compared with the loss of money, you still can't weigh it?"
