Chapter 174: Talents
After everything was negotiated, Zhu Daolin invited Sa Yide to his home for a drink.
Because Sa Yide was in a hurry to go to the city to meet with old friends who supplied tea, and he needed to take a bath and relax after many days of drifting at sea, although Zhu Daolin's Hushan main courtyard was well-equipped, fresh and elegant, but it was not in line with Sa Yide's habit to be accompanied by beautiful women.
Sa Yide and others left the wharf in two four-wheeled passenger cars from Hushan Manor, Ying Changpei and Ruan Dayue immediately followed the personnel of both sides to board the cargo ship to see what was going on, and Zhao Xunting organized workers to transfer freight carriages to prepare to unload and move, and there was a busy scene everywhere on the wharf.
Sayide seemed to have forgotten his translation, and Feng Shengtai, who had nothing to do, just wanted to get on the boat to take a look, but was grabbed by Zhu Daolin: "Brother Pengfei, there is something I want to hear your opinion, brother, do you have time?" ”
Feng Shengtai hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be polite, you must know everything and say everything." ”
Zhu Daolin invited him to take a walk at the quiet military wharf in the north, and sincerely said what was in his heart: "As the saying goes, a fence has three piles, and a hero has three gangs!" I, Zhu Daolin, can have today's situation, all thanks to the help of friends, I remember this from the bottom of my heart, never forget. ”
"However, so far I have not had a friend who is familiar with sea trade, and my friends can't help me even if they want to, and I have too many things to focus on a certain field, so I want to ask Brother Pengfei to come over and help me, as the general manager of the soon-to-be-established 'Tiangong Trading Co., Ltd.', and be fully responsible for all foreign trade affairs."
"No matter what decision Brother Pengfei makes, you only need to write a written report to me for approval, you don't need to look at anyone's face, if Brother Pengfei is willing, you can take office now!"
"Under the hill in the southeast of my house, two small courtyards covering an area of five acres and a school covering an area of more than ten acres are being built. It will be completed within three months, and then Brother Peng Fei can choose a small courtyard to live in, and I will pay Brother Peng Fei an annual salary of 10,000 taels of silver every year, and the benefits will be calculated separately, and after two years, if Brother Peng Fei is willing, he can hold shares in the trading company. If you are not willing to ask for shares, the annual salary will be increased to 20,000 taels of silver per year. ”
"If Brother Pengfei agrees, I will immediately advance the first year's salary."
Feng Shengtai's heart was beating wildly, his heart was surging, and his rapidly congested square face was purple: "I admire the extraordinary talent of the adult, and I admire the adult's broad-mindedness and noble character, and I am willing to follow the adult's saddle before and after the horse, but ...... It's just that adults have given too much, and they haven't made any contributions yet. You don't have the face to accept such a generous treatment, you just need to have a suite with a living room! ”
Zhu Daolin secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not much, haha!" What does Ling Zun need me to do? ”
Feng Shengtai was grateful: "Thank you, my lord, there are five brothers, the eldest brother and the third brother have taken over the family business the year before last, the first sister and the first sister are married, and the husband's family is a wealthy family in Ningbo, and the life is quite comfortable." The two younger brothers are doing well in their studies and are still studying hard to prepare for the imperial examination. ”
"It's only that I'm stubborn from childhood to adulthood. He likes to hunt for curiosities, likes the sea and the big sailing boats that chop the waves, and his father has tried his best to persuade him to calm down, and he no longer hopes in a fit of anger, and passed on the family business to his eldest and third brothers in the autumn of the previous year. Let me say that one day my unfilial son will break his head and bleed back, and he will slowly talk about the truth of life. ”
Zhu Daolin couldn't help but wonder: "Ling Zun is very interesting, haha!" ”
Feng Shengtai also smiled embarrassedly: "My lord is smiling, if my lord allows it, I will return to my home in Ningbo tomorrow to report to my father." Then take the cheap and a son and a daughter, and never leave after settling down! ”
Zhu Daolin immediately understood that Feng Shengtai was euphemistically allegiance to him, and happily grabbed his hands and held them in his hands: "Brother Pengfei, I won't say beautiful words, just one sentence: I will never fail you in this life and this life, share joys and sorrows, and never give up!" ”
Feng Shengtai's eyes suddenly turned red, and he knelt in front of Zhu Daolin with a "bang": "Feng Shengtai swears to the sky, in this life and this life, the liver and brain are smeared to the ground, in order to repay the grace of the adult's knowledge, if you violate this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”
Zhu Daolin hurriedly picked up Feng Shengtai, who was in tears: "Hurry up!" Why are you suffering? Arise, our knees are precious! ”
As he wished, he won the high-IQ expert Feng Shengtai, Zhu Daolin's long-term talent pressure has finally eased a lot, although there are still many urgently needed talents for him to discover and strive for, but Feng Shengtai's joining is the most timely and very important.
Feng Shengtai received the most orthodox elite education of the Ming Dynasty, and the same as the Ying Da shopkeeper has a great reputation, born in a merchant family, has rich business experience, he is also familiar with the international trade of the Ming Dynasty, fluent in Portuguese and French, can easily read Portuguese books, proficient in Portuguese writing contracts.
What's even more rare is that Feng Shengtai is only 35 years old this year, and he is in the golden year of the most brilliant and easy to produce results in his life, even if such a talent is 500 years later, it is also a very rare high-end talent.
At dinner, Xiaoying, Xu Fu and others saw that Zhu Daolin, who had no guests and never drank, poured himself a drink, thinking that it was because of the arrival of several large ships, so they didn't ask him what he was happy about, and they bought wine glasses to congratulate him.
Zhu Daolin was so happy that he drank four cups of "Ziyang Daqu" in a row, and then he said what he was happy to share with everyone:
"What I am most happy about is not to earn a few million taels of silver today, nor to get two 500-ton Galen ships with 56 long-barreled copper cannons, but to get a great talent who has a great business talent but has not met for many years......"
"This person is Feng Shengtai and Feng Pengfei, who came to Ningbo early this morning! With his assistance, I don't have to spend precious time on sea trade in the future, and I don't have to close the door before and after every transaction to calculate the detailed account for one night, which is gratifying! ”
Xiaoying bowed her head thoughtfully, Xu Fu showed a knowing smile, Ruyan and Liu Yatou were still thinking about where Feng Shengtai was sacred?
The youngest, Gu Mei, asked crisply, "Could it be that one Mr. Feng can be more important than a few million taels of silver and two big war ships?" ”
Zhu Daolin nodded solemnly: "In a sense, there is nothing in this world that cannot be measured by money, including people, but in my heart, some people are priceless, such as Mr. Feng, such as Brother Monshan, no matter how much silver can measure their value, even if I give me a mountain of gold, I will not exchange any of them for it!" ”
"And you, you are all my heart, my closest relatives in this world, so even if I want my life, I will not let any of you leave me."
"Husband......
Xu Fo and Ruyan were moved, Xiaoying quietly clenched her little fists, and made up her mind to share more for her husband.
Liu Ru and Gu Mei, who are the most emotional, were already moved to tears, stood up and walked to Zhu Daolin's side, hugged Zhu Daolin's neck left and right, and were reluctant to let go for a long time.
