Chapter 126: Obsession
Happy New Year! Auspicious Year of the Horse! Good luck! Abundant wealth! In good shape! Balabala......
Although Chai Shirong was anxious, he saw that Jiang Long was so confident in what he said, and he also remembered that Jiang Long's riding skills were really not very good, and finally hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in response, but still said: "Early tomorrow morning, let's leave." ”
"No problem."
Jiang Long happily agreed.
Then he squeezed his eyes and said, "Let's go, my little brother will take you to see something." ”
"What's that?" Chai Shirong was aroused by Jiang Long's mysterious appearance.
Jiang Long didn't answer the question, and walked forward directly by pulling his sleeve.
Chai Shirong's heart seemed to be lightly scratched by a cat, eager to know what Jiang Long wanted to show him, and for a while, his previous worries were forgotten.
Jiang Long took Chai Shirong straight to the place where the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle were working.
Chai Shirong stepped into the door of the house and saw many large and small puppets on the table at a glance.
Eyes lit up instantly!
Walk a few steps briskly, surpass Jiang Long in front, and take the puppets of various images in his hands and look around.
"It's amazing, it's cute, it's beautiful!"
Chai Shirong praised repeatedly.
Hearing this, both the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle proudly raised their snow-white chins, as if the puppet was invented by them.
"Guess who these puppets are?" Jiang Long stepped forward and grabbed the ear of a beautiful sheep puppet, lifted it up, and bent his fingers with his other hand to flick its little nose, and said with a smile.
However, his rude behavior made Yuchai unhappy.
The first beautiful sheep was given to the jade hairpin.
Yuchai also likes the beautiful sheep in the story the most.
So she immediately reached out and rescued the poor beautiful sheep from Jiang Long's palm whose ears had been crooked.
Jiang Long shrugged helplessly.
Chai Shirong is not a fool, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he guessed, "Are these the little animals in the story of the gray wolf and the pleasant goat?" ”
"Not bad." Jiang Long smiled and nodded, "Then you said that after the book is sold and becomes popular, I will put these puppets and embroidery on the market again, can I make another profit?" ”
"Yes, that's great!"
Chai Shirong gave Jiang Long a thumbs up again and again, "Not only can you make money, but you can also make a lot of money!" ”
"Then Brother Chai is interested in intervening?"
After Jiang Long asked, Chai Shirong was obviously stunned, "Brother Xian is willing to give a piece of the pie to his brother?" ”
"We're brothers!" Jiang Long said with his hands clasped around his chest.
But Chai Shirong still didn't believe it, "Are you serious? ”
"How did you become a mother-in-law today? Not a gentleman at all. Jiang Long angrily pushed Chai Shirong.
Chai Shirong stepped back and stumbled, "Of course I'm a gentleman, but my family doesn't have a shop that sells puppets and embroidery, and cooperating with you won't help you at all." ”
Even if they are brothers, they have a good relationship and take care of each other, but they must be able to contribute.
Where can I take my brother's money for nothing?
Chai Shirong is also principled.
"Isn't that easy?" Jiang Long said: "As long as all the managers who manage all the sales channels of your printing factory are gathered, and let them secretly open an embroidery building in their respective places, won't it?" ”
"W-is this going to work?" Chai Shirong said uncertainly.
"You're also optimistic about these puppets and embroidery, weishenme?"
Jiang Long has absolute confidence, "But before concentrating those people, you must first subdue them, and you can't leak the news." ”
Chai Shirong was worried again when he heard this, this was the first time he had dealt with those people, maybe those people had been loyal before, "It's hard to do this." ”
"As long as you're willing to listen to me, there's nothing difficult."
How to subdue the next person?
It's so simple.
It's nothing more than a stick and a carrot policy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"The puppets and embroidery will be on the market after the book sells well, and there is plenty of time, so let's not rush and slowly accept those stewards." Jiang Long said: "But when I pay to open a store, your share will be much lower." ”
Chai Shirong also wanted to pay for some shares in the store, but he had no money in his pocket at this time.
I could only nod and said, "This is how it should be, let's say, how many shares do you give to your brother?" He is not greedy for his brother, and he is content to be able to take one of the twenty shares as a brother. ”
In the puppet and embroidery business, Chai Shirong really can't make much effort.
However, Jiang Long also has his own shortcomings, that is, there is no one in his hands.
And truly loyal and capable subordinates are not so easy to find.
Jiang Long could only wait for him to gradually take over the power of Jingfu, and then find and cultivate among the servants of Jingfu, or the descendants of the servants.
If you buy it outside, even if you have a deed of sale in your hand, you can't believe it!
After all, men and women are not the same.
Women are delicate and timid, and after the master's family buys them, they can have a place to live, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and few of them will have the idea of running away.
But men are different, especially those who have the ability, they are generally more courageous, and some even run away directly with the master's money.
All the sons of the family who are only the servants of the house are more trustworthy.
Jiang Long didn't bargain, "Then listen to Brother Chai." ”
"Good!" Chai Shirong just smiled, he didn't expect to come to the farm and have another way to make money.
Even if it is only one-twentieth of the total, the puppets and embroidery will obviously sell well, and this will be a lot of money.
Seeing that the two of them finished talking about business, the treasure bottle was quickly introduced to Chai Shirong.
"It's a gray wolf."
Chai Shirong looked at it and couldn't help laughing, "Why does it have a scar on its face?" But it doesn't look scary. ”
The vase grinned and picked up a puppet, "This is the red wolf." ”
"Is this a frying pan in its hand?" Chai Shirong was curious.
"Hmm." The treasure bottle nodded, and then introduced Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat, Lazy Goat, etc. to Chai Shirong.
Chai Shirong was amazed and amazed.
And I admired Jiang Long, who designed the image of these puppets.
In the eyes of ordinary people, wolves and wolves all look the same, and so do sheep, at most they are different in height, some are tall and some are low, some are fat and some are thin.
But now this large flock of sheep has its own characteristics, which are not different at all, and it seems that people have their own unique appearance.
The gray wolf and the red wolf are also vicious wolves, but they are very cute and pleasant.
Holding the puppets and playing carefully and watching, Chai Shirong sighed sincerely, "Brother Xian is really talented!" ”
"It's just a little new." Jiang Long is modest.
"But it's with this novelty that you can make a lot of money!"
Chai Shirong suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously, "Can you also design the characters in the Legend of Journey to the West?" ”
"I guess I can."
"Really?"
It's just Chai Shirong, and the treasure bottle and jade hairpin are also bright-eyed.
Jiang Long took out the charcoal pen he carried with him and immediately drew on a piece of paper.
After a while, Sun Wukong, who was wearing a purple and gold crown and holding a golden hoop stick, was in everyone's eyelids.
"What a majesty!"
The vase praised.
This is completely different from the style of the gray wolf Pleasant Goat.
Chai Shirong also nodded again and again, and asked, "Brother Xian doesn't plan to make the characters in the Legend of Journey to the West and sell them together?" ”
"yes, that's a good idea." The treasure bottle agreed, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Long's arm.
Jiang Long shook his head and said: "If I make the characters in the Legend of Journey to the West and sell them together, then the people will have room to choose, and if they buy this, they may not buy that again." ”
Chai Shirong, Yu Hai, and the treasure bottle were all stunned when they heard this.
"To put it bluntly, I put two different styles of puppet embroidery out to sell together, which is equivalent to playing with myself, some people like the gray wolf, so they don't buy the Monkey King, and some people like the Monkey King, they don't buy the gray wolf, and they will lose a lot of customers invisibly."
Jiang Long explained seriously: "So I want to sell them in batches, first sell puppets and embroidery such as the gray wolf and Pleasant Goat, and then sell the puppets and embroidery such as Sun Wukong after the business declines."
In this way, customers who have bought Big Big Wolf and Pleasant Goat before will still spend money to buy Monkey King's puppets and embroidery when they see that Sun Wukong's puppets and embroidery are also very fun. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Bao Vase, Jade Hairpin, and Chai Shirong suddenly understood.
"It seems that the virtuous brother is not only good at making up stories, but also proficient in the way of business." Chai Shirong felt that the longer he was in contact with Jiang Long, the more he couldn't understand Jiang Long.
"There's no way, there's no money, it's hard to move an inch!" Jiang Long spread his hands and said.
Chai Shirong nodded sympathetically.
His status in his own family is not high, his grandfather Cheng Guogong is biased towards the uncle's family, he has long had a sense of crisis, worried that after his grandfather goes, the uncle will inherit the title of the duke, and he has no power and no money, how will he live in the future.
Now that the grandfather is still there, the uncle doesn't care much about him, and at that time, it is likely that he will give him an errand and send him away.
Of course, it is impossible to starve to death, but in this life you can only live like a small landlord.
And sometimes wealth, silver money can directly bring a person status.
There are a lot of haode position errands in the house, as long as you are willing to spend money, even if it is the position of the clan elder, you can also buy it.
After it was time to eat, when he returned to the courtyard, Jiang Long and Chai Shirong were at the same table, and they drank less wine.
Jiang Long's body has recovered, and now it is okay to drink less.
The treasure bottle and the jade hairpin went to inform Lin Ya, saying that Jiang Long was not there for dinner today, but the two daughters were retained by Lin Ya to eat together.
Du Juan quietly retreated, completely losing her former majesty.
Fang Qing also stepped back and quietly stared at Du Juan's every move.
Don't look at Lin Ya didn't say anything to her, but she knew that one day, Lin Ya would have a showdown with her.
But before the showdown, there must be an examination to see if she is qualified to be promoted and reused.
For the Jing family in Ningyuan County, Fang Qing has heard of it a long time ago, otherwise she is not the girl in the hands of the person's tooth, can Weishenme go to the restaurant?
If Lin Ya really wanted her to be loyal and follow, she had to agree to a condition.
She wants to avenge the round-faced girl who coughed up blood and died in her arms!
For so many years, the scene of the round-faced girl before her death always came to her mind from time to time.
Slowly, an obsession was formed.
If she can't avenge the round-faced girl, she has a troubled conscience, and she is afraid that she will be entangled for the rest of her life in the future.
Baozhi Baohuan and a few other maids listened to Fang Qing's words very much, and when facing Du Juan today, they always lowered their eyebrows and swallowed their anger.
