Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Man Who Died

Chapter 89 Interest Groups

As soon as the flag at the gate of the city was erected, the five big characters of "Zhangjiazhuang Group Training" were gold signboards. Chen Xie didn't have to come forward, Wang Qinian took a class of students to stand at the door, without a musket, but everyone had a knife at their waists, full of momentum. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate were overjoyed, and the last time they tossed for three days, recruited 120 people, and everyone followed and ate meat buns for three days. Helping with errands, maintaining order, boiling some water, these little things are also counted? But people just stuff you with fifty dollars a day and take it.

The movement of recruiting the group is a bit big, and this time it is recruiting 700 people, even if there is a taboo, Chen Xie has to pull up the soldiers and horses at the head of a battalion. Of course, I have checked up and down in advance, and everyone knows very well the reason why the divine doctor holds the group training, so many workshops and docks for goods from the sea need to be watched. Otherwise, if the robbers really come, there will be no place to cry.

Wang Qinian's recruitment at the gate of the city with great fanfare alarmed the Dengzhou battalion. Yang Guodong, the chief soldier of Denglai, accepted 500 taels of silver from Liu's shopkeeper, knowing that people are looking for someone to take care of the family, so naturally they will not have much trouble. called the deputy chief soldier Zhang Keda, asked him to check the situation, and went to Governor Sun Guozhen to report here.

Sun Guozhen received more silver, 1,000 taels of snowflake silver, just to make it convenient for him. Of course, when he visited last night, Chen Xie's reason was also very strong. Iron workshops, kiln workshops, docks, etc., all need to be watched by human hands. The regiment is training, he doesn't even have a pair of armor, do you expect him to dare to pass the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion?

Sun Guozhen told Yang Guodong that he knew that the local armed forces were not worth making a fuss about. The series of officials on the side of Wang Ting, who also received the money, also turned a blind eye, can this also be regarded as a thing?

Zhang Keda's vigilance against Chen Xie is still very high, especially after seeing the cadet team. Don't look like you're not wearing armor, but soldiers are good soldiers. I can't hide that from him. However, Zhang Keda didn't have a temper, and the concubine Chen's pillow blew in the wind at night, her small waist twisted, and her bones were half of her body. Shangguan didn't speak, what the hell was he doing. People like Chen Xie will rebel? Who will believe it!

Go through the form, come out and let the soldiers maintain good order, and Zhang Keda will go back to his life.

When it was very lively outside the city gate, Chen Xie was also busy in Zhangjiazhuang. A group of partners came, and several landlords and gentry from the nearby village were invited to the party, which was held in the school.

A large classroom, or the shape of a buffet. Above the table are cold dishes, hot food is sitting on the coal stove, and the table of eight immortals is swinging, everyone sits casually, and they do what they want to eat. This scene was naturally very lively, Chen Xie chatted with everyone for a while, and after a toast, he roughly exchanged some ideas, and then he walked to the middle and coughed.

"Celebrities and virtuous people, first of all, I want to thank you for your face condescension." Raising their glasses as he spoke, everyone raised their glasses in response. are waiting for Chen Xie to follow.

"Everyone knows that I have made some money in a few workshops, but I am really not sure. In addition to this, there is a limit to what one person can do, and every workshop is now experiencing some problems. There is a shortage of manpower, a shortage of space, and a lack of capital. When Chen Xie said this, everyone smiled. It is no secret how many people are jealous of Chen Xie's wealth. Please come, just like the agent system of the joint firm, run a workshop together, earn money together, and make money together.

"This is a little bit of a charter under the draft, everyone look at it." Each person is given a copy of the text, which is all handwritten.

After a short silence at the scene, Chen Xie waited for everyone to look up and continued: "See it all clearly? A carriage workshop, a cement workshop, and a glass workshop are all the most profitable workshops in their hands. These three workshops have nothing to do with the original workshops, they are all newly opened workshops. The carriage workshop took out 1,000 shares, and took out 600 shares, each for a price of fifty taels. According to the above example, the cement workshop is 30 taels per share, and the glass workshop is 200 taels per share. Those who are willing to make a fortune together will not refuse. But first of all, no matter which workshop, it must be purchased evenly according to the number of people who are willing to buy shares. Ladies and gentlemen, here is a statement that the next shareholding is thirty percent, one of which is one percent of the shares, and there is another use. Ladies and gentlemen, whether you invest or not, it is all voluntary. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised his hand and said, "Don't be willing, a fool is unwilling." The laughter at the scene fully explained everyone's mood. Chen Xie smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing to say." The villain first and then the gentleman, here in the next words, the existing workshop will not be expanded, no matter what workshop is opened in the future, it will be done according to the current model. ”

China is a society of personal affection, and human affection plays a role everywhere. However, the bond of human affection is very fragile and fundamentally vulnerable in the face of interests. This is how Chen Xie chose this method, tying up the interests of the majority of the people to form a huge interest group of landlords and gentry.

There is no doubt that this is a large local force. As long as there is no rebellion, no one will dare to touch this force lightly. One of the most important characteristics of this kind of power is that industry and commerce are the main profit models. This is the way that Chen Xie racked his brains to come up with, and in this way, he subtly made these people slowly accept their own concepts.

"Everyone, when the business becomes bigger, it will naturally find red-eyed beads. Everyone said, isn't this the truth? Chen Xie went down further, and everyone was very thick-skinned, and all of them calmly agreed.

"That's why we have to do a group exercise in the next place. This group exercise is not a matter of Chen's family, even if it was before, it will not be in the future. Of course, if you don't want to give some money and food to help, you don't have any opinions. But if something really happens in the future, don't blame me for refusing to reach out and pull a hand. ”

With common interests as a prerequisite, the rest is simple. In fact, I didn't let everyone contribute money and food, but I made it clear to everyone that in the future, one percent of the profits of the three major workshops will be used for group training.

Again, if you are voluntary, you can leave if you are not willing to do it.

"Hehe, Lao Qian is not stupid, isn't it just to raise hundreds of group exercises? This bit of silver is not worth mentioning compared to the benefits earned. "Qian is not much, and he once again plays the role of natural trust, and this guy is actually Chen Xie's biggest partner at present.

In the early winter of the first year of Chongzhen, under the rule of Governor Denglai, the largest local interest group quietly took shape.

After everyone dispersed, Qian Xiao, Li Heng, and Wang Chulong didn't leave, the two of them were more discerning, and the purpose of their stay was very clear, that is, to figure out a problem.

"Brother Sihua, what do you think about the ticket number?"

There was a hot pot on the table, steaming, Chen Xie poured all kinds of things into it unhurriedly, and only after finishing did he point to the hot pot with chopsticks and said: "Everyone, please look at this hot pot, there is only soup, and the taste of this pot is very ordinary." Assuming that Dengzhou is this pot, and everyone present is this hot, what do you think of the taste? ”

They are all smart people, and their brains are not slow, and the first person to speak was Wang Chulong: "I understand what Sihua means." This pot has to be boiled first, and I think the American goods are the charcoal for the fire. ”

Li Heng pointed to various things in the pot with chopsticks and said: "There is still a month to go before the New Year, have you noticed, there are a lot more ships coming to Dengzhou this year, why do you have to have a three-percent?" Last month, I witnessed a 500-material cargo ship in Jiangnan, pulling a boatload of tiles and a hundred toilets. Sihua, go and ask Wen Bajin, there are few craftsmen under him. ”

Chen Xie said lightly: "What is one less person?" Isn't it just digging a septic tank? It's not very technical. Without cement and a flush toilet, he couldn't do it. Li Heng gave a thumbs up: "Admire!" ”

Qian didn't have much money and said: "When the barbarians in Jiangnan and Fujian and Guangdong can't do without Dengzhou goods, the matter of the silver number will naturally come to fruition." High! It's really high! ”

This line made Chen Xie feel deeply painful, Nima, Lao Tzu is not a little devil, you don't live in Gaojiazhuang, let alone Ma Jiazyo.

"Everyone understands in their hearts that the matter of the silver number cannot be rushed. Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and bandits are everywhere. Those who do business are afraid that the world is not good. Otherwise, what am I doing to toss the group? Isn't it just to watch the family business? There is another one, in the future, we will have to rely on the sea route, even if we don't do direct business with the Taixi people in the South Seas, we have to get some boats, and we can't give the initiative to others and turn back to let people ....... Making a neck-pinching gesture, Chen Xie smiled meaningfully.

"Everyone, why don't you come forward and set up a shipyard in Dengzhou, and everyone will buy some shares?" Li Heng came up with such a sentence, everyone laughed together, Wang and Qian looked at Chen Xie and didn't speak. Chen Xie picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying, "Good thing!" Count me in. ”

"When the sea and land are also opened, the matter of the silver number can be put on the agenda. Jiangnan is quite stable, business comes and goes, and it will naturally come and go naturally. Qian didn't say a word, and everyone nodded approvingly. This is the most powerful thing about Chen Xie.

Time flies quickly, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. The greenhouse base in Zhangjiazhuang started very quickly, and all kinds of vegetables were planted successively. Cucumbers, eggplants, leeks, beans, etc., but what is grown in the two sheds that Master Chen personally took care of, everyone really doesn't know. Many people asked, but Chen Xie just didn't answer, smiled and didn't speak, everyone could only wait.

As soon as Qiē developed in a beautiful direction, the vegetable seeds in the shed sprouted, and the young and old people in Zhangjiazhuang also had more thoughts in their hearts. The busy hours passed quickly, and the weather was getting colder and colder. In the first year of Chongzhen, God still didn't give face, and it didn't rain much in the northern provinces. The new Zhangjiazhuang shows the prosperity of different other places.

Winter is not idle, the roads are full of villagers, and the people from several nearby villages have also come to build roads! The grain harvest is not good, and everyone has to find a place to eat. From the "smuggling" wharf to Zhangjiazhuang and then to Dengzhou City, an L-shaped road was started.
