Chapter Eighty-Three: Unknown Encounters (Part II)
Shu'er raised his head and glanced at Qiao Jing, who was silent, and saw that his eyes were lowered, his long eyelashes blocked the emotions in his dark eyes, and his slender fingers held the white jade teacup, which looked smaller and smaller in his hand. The white clothes he changed into today are not stained with dust and smoke, whether he is a cold bystander or a low eyebrow, it is all Zhilan Yushu.
Shu'er thought to herself: "It is worthy of being a young master cultivated by a family like the Qiao family of Song Guo, and it is just a talent to look at, and his demeanor is simply amazing." Suddenly, I felt that Qiao Jing's eyebrows and eyes became more and more familiar. She sighed secretly: "It's probably the young master of the Qiao family's long eyebrows and sideburns, a bit like Zhuge who is at the top of the beauty list." After three years of busy work, I don't have Xiaoying's talent for remembering, but I can still think of that person's appearance from time to time......" She quickly took a sip of tea and turned her mind from Zhuge calmly back to the present.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Qiao Ling broke the embarrassment and said: "Actually, my cousin and I are very curious, Brother Yan looks younger than us, how can he become the richest man in Chen Guo from scratch in just a few years?" I heard that the Qin family of Chen Guo has been rich for decades, why has it disappeared so quickly in recent years? ”
Shu'er intended to be friendly with Song Shang, so he replied in a storylike voice: "Don't hide it from the two Qiao brothers, in fact, my cousin Su Ying and I have three ways to make money, one is to be a network of talents, the second is to have hands and eyes, and the third is to have luck and luck." These three complement each other and are indispensable. In terms of connections, the cool incense that we made at the beginning was the love of Queen Chen, which supported us with the first golden signboard. Later, Biliang cosmetics shops became bigger and bigger in Fanjing, and Uncle Zhao Qi, an old fox who had been in business for decades in the black market and outside the customs, joined in. What he brings is not only his experience, but also a group of talents who have been friends with him for many years. These people have saved a lot of money in the black market, and they have long wanted to launder their business and live less frightened days. The people who came out of the black market were not only cunning and thoughtful, but also quite courageous. Su Ying and I gave them some money to open a store, and promised that the profits of their respective stores only need to be handed over to 30%, which is used to develop and order new cosmetics and new containers, and the rest of the profits are arranged independently by each shopkeeper, which can be used to distribute different wages and rewards according to different counties, different jobs, and different benefits, and can also be used to expand the store, as well as to give gifts to new and old customers during the New Year's holidays. For their own interests, they opened Biliang cosmetics all over the twenty-one cities in the seven counties of Chen Guo at a very fast speed, and at the same time acquired all the cosmetics shops in Chen Guo. For a time, in the territory of Chen Guo, anyone who wanted to buy rouge gouache and spice honey locusts had no other choice, only our Biliang cosmetics were dominant. ”
Shu'er took a sip of tea and continued: "We have a special shopkeeper chamber in each county every month to discuss the way of management, rewards and punishments, and promote good short-term workers to long-term workers, and good apprentices to small shopkeepers. Every quarter, shopkeepers of all sizes also come to Fanjing to gather to evaluate and audit each other and proofread accounts. ”
Qiao Ling asked: "These business methods, but Brother Yan created them?" ”
Shu'er said, "I didn't create it alone. When I was a child, I often mixed in the black market, and many of the shopkeepers brought by Uncle Zhao Qi actually watched me grow up, so they were familiar with each other and were not confined to hypocrisy. I have a lot of respect for them, and they are very tolerant of me. When we get together to discuss how to do business, we know that it's all for the common good, so we often get into heated arguments regardless of the age, but we all quickly and rationally resolve them and choose the best business strategy. Although they called me 'Boss Yan', what I actually got was only 30% of the profits, excluding the part of developing new products, and they divided the other 70% of the part of the salary reward and the part of the store into 21 big shopkeepers and 42 small shopkeepers. Because all the shopkeepers have profits, everyone spares no effort to make suggestions, unite as one, and adapt freely. ”
Qiao Ling nodded and said: "It turns out that this is the so-called 'united city', no wonder the wealth of Chen Guo can be gathered in your hands in a few years." Families like the Chen Guoqin family and the Song Guoqiao family, how rich they used to be, and how stubborn they are today, it is difficult to divide the power of judgment equally among the shopkeepers who work in the market, so day after day, they wanted to operate together for profit, but they became exploitative and enslaved, people's hearts were scattered, and depression withered. ”
Qiao Jing nodded invisibly and looked at Shu'er deeply, with a desire to continue listening in his eyes.
Shu'er said: "Second, the eyes of both hands are to be discerning, and when you see an opportunity, you must preemptively strive for it. After a few attempts, you'll find that everything is an opportunity, and it just depends on whether you can spot it quickly and take action. But business opportunities are one thing, and you also need to have a discerning handmade product, so that customers will turn business opportunities into money for you. My cousin, Su Ying, is the most talented painter in the world. Shu'er smiled narrowly again, "And he also looks like an ingenious person, which makes many small families in Fanjing fall in love with him." In order to buy the makeup boxes he painted himself, he stepped on the threshold of our store. It can be said that the signboard of our cosmetics store, one is the quality, and the other is his face. ”
Qiao Ling laughed and said, "Brother Yan, you talk funny, no wonder you can call for wind and rain in the business field." Qiao Jing's eyes also flashed with a smile.
Shu'er smiled: "My life-saving master, but Mr. Storyteller." We often invite storytellers in our own restaurant, and my little bit of lip service is not as good as theirs. ”
Qiao Jing asked: "How do you say your third one, 'Fortune Luck Count'?" ”
Shu'er said: "My fortune is that the business of the Qin family of Chen Guo is declining, so we can directly buy many ready-made workshops, shops, and stores from them, as well as the old shopkeepers and craftsmen under the Qin family's industry, which have also been poached by us one after another." As long as Chen Guo does not fall, and the people still live and work in peace and contentment, and have desires, those businesses will not fall. The Qin family has fallen, and someone must take over their business. If we are lucky, we will be able to take over naturally. As for the number of fortunes, it is a few nobles that I met by chance. Queen Chen and Uncle Zhao Qi have already said it. Other nobles, you must have heard of them, that is, the King of Shu, the Ten Sects and Eight Sects of Xiling, and ......"
She wanted to say "Zhuge calmly", but when the words came to her lips, she didn't want to mention his name. In the past few years, she has never told others about the subtle and ambiguous days between the two of them, and even to Lin Ying, she only ambiguously said that she met a nosy master of the rivers and lakes and taught her a few swordsmanship. She knew that although she had worn men's clothes for many years, she still kept the shyness and hope of her little daughter in her heart. She had no choice but to smile and come back: "Also, the two brothers I met on this trip."
