Chapter 10 is counterintuitive

Deng Zixuan and the big man Zhang Mancang lived in the new mansion for a night, and the huge mansion seemed empty. Originally, the shopkeeper had to prepare for the trip, and it was impossible to make the trip in a short time. Deng Zixuan asked the shopkeeper not to worry, but the shopkeeper thought that since he sold the shop and the house, there was no reason to stay, so the shopkeeper led the family, furniture and men to move to the inn.

Early the next morning, Deng Zixuan stood in the garden for a while. Then he instructed Zhang Mancang to take the paper and study the ink, and then he waved it, only to see that the paper was written: The store will recruit a shopkeeper and 5 men from today. Our hotel provides accommodation and good treatment. I hope that interested parties will sign up enthusiastically, and then instruct Zhang Mancang to post the notice, and then open the door panel of the store to receive applicants.

Deng Zixuan is leisurely and confident. He lacquered a pot of tea and sat down at the counter of the store, waiting for the applicant. Zhang Mancang was confused and hurriedly asked, "Deng Gongzi, what do you mean by posting a notice?" Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "The store is always run by someone!" Do you think I'm a material for trading? That's why we're going to recruit shopkeepers and guys, and the postings are job postings! ”

Zhang Mancang was taken aback and said: "Deng Gongzi, I heard that the trader has a recruitment partner, but I haven't heard of a recruitment manager. What should I do if you are not there in the future and there is a problem with the transaction? The transaction lost and people patted their butts and left, who do you go to? "You don't have to worry about this, the mountain people have their own tricks." There was a noise outside the kung fu door, and Zhang Mancang hurriedly ran out to check.

There are good deeds who read the notice aloud, attracting more and more people. A bold young man walked into the shop, and then the young people crowded inside, and the noise rang out. Deng Zixuan's head grew when he saw this kind of scene, "Full warehouse, tell them to line up to apply, and come one by one." The body of Zhang Mancang Iron Tower blocked the door and shouted: "Line up for me!" All line up for me, one by one! ”

Suddenly, chaos began to be chaotic outside, and a team of Qing soldiers came this time, and they pushed everyone away and rushed into the store viciously. A small leader led by a small leader walked into the store after reading the notice and said: "Don't you understand that crowds are not allowed to gather in the downtown area? Deng Zixuan hurriedly got up and stuffed a tael of silver into the little leader's hand and said: "Official, the grass people have just bought this shop and are recruiting guys, please make it convenient for the official!" ”

This guy didn't look at the silver, and he probably knew how much it was in his hand. The little boss quickly put the silver into his arms, and his attitude was obviously relaxed: "Shopkeeper, recruiting guys can but can't make loud noises and disrupt the business." "Official, I'll let them line up one by one and never make a noise!" Deng Zixuan was full of promises. After the Qing soldiers left, Deng Zixuan glared at Zhang Mancang to express his dissatisfaction, because he put his hand into his arms, obviously wanting to pull out his gun.

Damn, it seems that money is good at any time, Deng Zixuan glanced at Zhang Mancang again, and secretly thought, the brothers are jealous and hateful, and their endurance is not enough, so they will be told repeatedly and constantly in the future, and the impulse is not false at all. The 5 guys were full in the morning, and Deng Zixuan would not do business, but there was no problem in selecting people. But a day passed, and no one came to compete for the position of shopkeeper.

Deng Zixuan knew that the current recruitment of the shopkeeper was absolutely unreasonable in the Qing Dynasty, and there was almost no precedent to be exact. Even if some people want to compete, they will be intimidated. Rather lack than abuse, because the guys have been recruited, the words "guys" on the posted notices have been crossed out and only the recruitment manager is left. On the second day, no one applied, and on the third day, there was still no one to compete, Deng Zixuan estimated that the news had spread throughout half of Guangzhou City.

Deng Zixuan is still leisurely, but Zhang Mancang is anxious enough. "Deng Gongzi, I'm afraid no one dares to apply for the shopkeeper." "There are a lot of profit-seekers, and there will definitely be." Deng Zixuan is very confident. Halfway up the door panel at dusk, a man in a shabby robe walked in. Deng Zixuan looked at this person and saw that the person who came was about 30 years old, with a few patches on his robe, and a scruffy beard on his face, but his eyes were very bright. ”

The comer clasped his hands into fists and said, "The contemptible person is here to apply, is it not too late!" "It's not too late! My name is Deng Zixuan, have you been here during the day? Deng Zixuan asked with a smile. Mr. Deng's eyesight is good, and he has been here! "Because during the day this man stretched out his head and wandered in the street opposite." What is your name? "The contemptible person is called Qin Fan!" "Tell us about your experience?" Deng Zixuan put away his smile.

"Mr. Deng, two years ago there was a silk shop on another street. Once did business with foreigners, but was conspired against and sued. Not only did I lose my family, but I also spent two years in prison. The contemptible people were only released this morning, and they came to visit them when they heard the revelation of your recruitment. I hesitated for a day before I decided to apply. Deng Zixuan fell in love with this person at the first time: "So you haven't gone home yet?" "Yes! The contemptible never came home! ”

"Zhang Mancang! Immediately accompany the shopkeeper Qin to bring the family roll, the house behind is enough to live! Deng Zixuan said decisively. Qin Fan was just about to open his mouth and suddenly reacted, pouted on his knees on the ground and said, "Thank you Mr. Deng for your love, contemptible people will follow the work of dogs and horses." "Shopkeeper Qin, please get up, we will be our own family in the future, no need to be formal!" An hour later, Qin Fan's wife and children were picked up.

A son and a daughter are about ten years old, dressed in rags and blackmail, and their thin bodies are clearly malnourished. The Qin family has a bit of a posture, but his face is dark and thin, and his hands are rough. Qin Fan took his wife and children and knelt down for Deng Zixuan again, but he couldn't stop it. Soon, Zhang Mancang asked for wine and food in a nearby tavern, and a table was filled. Deng Zixuan ate a few bites, and then pulled Zhang Mancang into the house to rest, the purpose was to reunite the family and have a full meal. If they're here, they won't be able to let go.

When he woke up early the next morning, Qin had cooked the meal. After eating, Qin Fan took out the account book and said: "Mr. Deng, the five guys are very clever, I have checked the accounts and inventory, please take a look." If there are no problems, we can open today! Deng Zixuan casually threw the accounts aside and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, since I hired you, I trust you, and you are completely in charge of the future business." "Mr. Deng! This can't be helped, you are the owner and you must call the shots! ”

Deng Zixuan took out the contract from his arms and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, this is a contract for you to see!" "Mr. Deng, give me 20% of the profits, this ・・・・・・ absolutely not!" Qin Fan's hands trembled a little, and his words were incoherent. Deng Zixuan said: "Shopkeeper Qin, I want to go back to Shanghai in the future, and the business in Guangzhou will be handed over to you, your business is bigger, my dividend is greater, it all depends on your ability!" "Mr. Deng, trust me so much, contemptible people will never disappoint your expectations!" Qin Fan solemnly took the contract into his arms.

Deng Zixuan took out 5 taels of silver and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, you are now a person with a head and a face, how can you dress up like this." To make a few sets of clothes, the wife and children also have to buy clothes. Also, your kids are not young, be sure to let them read! "Mr. Deng, this ・・・・・・," Qin Fan's eyes were moist and he couldn't go on. Deng Zixuan did not expect that a few years later, Qin Fan's trading spread all over Guangdong and Guangxi, becoming a commercial group that dominated one side, and played a vital role in the smooth implementation of his grand cause. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

After the 10th, Pei Gejin and Wang Xiaoer came back, and the two of them were in the dust. In Deng Zixuan's house, after the brothers devoured their meal, Deng Zixuan brought the tea to the brothers with a smile. Pei Gejin drank a few sips of tea and said: "Deng Gongzi, we searched for a few days and bought 500 acres of beach land in a place called White Beach in Dongguan. It's less than 1,000 metres from the coast, and the coastline is suitable for a marina according to your requirements. Here are the title deeds and sketches for the purchase of the land. ”

"Deng Gongzi, 500 acres of beach land cost less than 100 taels of silver. At that time, the rich man took us for fools, and disappeared after signing and drawing, probably afraid that we would regret it. Wang Xiaoer said happily. Deng Zixuan looked at the sketch and groaned: "In the second half of this year, we will build a fence and a house there, and a simple wharf will be built." Pei Ge cautiously asked: "Deng Gongzi, I don't know something, weishenme wants to buy that piece of rabbit where it doesn't?" "I want to build a factory in the future, and what kind of factory I will build depends on the situation!"

"What's next for the two of us?" Pei Ge asked. "There is no news from Shaoguan, you two are familiar with the topography of Guangzhou first. Start wandering around town tomorrow and then check around the area. "Looking at the terrain?" Pei Gejin was confused. "Brother Pei, you two will stay in Guangzhou in the future, how can you do it if you are not familiar with the local customs! Not only that, but you also have to learn the local language! The two were stunned.

After dinner, Qin Fan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Deng, who is the guest here today?" I notice that they don't seem to be coming from the right way? Deng Zixuan smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, you don't have to worry, they are my bodyguards." These two men will be left with you after I'm gone. Since you are my man, your safety is also my business. They don't meddle in buying and selling! Qin Fan let out a sigh of relief.

Deng Zixuan seemed to remember something and said, "Shopkeeper Qin, my two brothers are going to be here for a long time." You are the number of locals. See if there is a suitable woman to marry the two brothers. The conditions are not high, and a woman from a good family can do it, but she must be beautiful. I had to settle their wife's problem before I left. "Mr. Deng is so good! Leave this matter to me! ”
