Chapter 72: Hugging the thighs
Zhu Huazhang looked at Old Lady Zhu in disbelief.
I couldn't have imagined that Mrs. Zhu didn't care about Zhu Youning's behavior of buying goods outside, and praised her in his words.
"Dad, it is reasonable for you to say this, but after all, our Zhu family has its own cloth factory, and the orders have been reduced due to the actions of the nine girls, is it still a good thing?" Zhu Huazhang's voice was sharp with excitement.
Old lady Zhu picked up the tea bowl and used the white porcelain bowl lid to gently flick the tea leaves floating on the turquoise tea soup.
"You are a businessman, what you should look at is how much money you can make, and what you should care about is how to maximize the profits of our Zhu family's industry, instead of trying to save face and compete with a little girl to win or lose."
Zhu Huazhang was poked into his heart, and said with a red face: "Dad, I'm also for our family's cloth factory." ”
Mrs. Zhu took a sip of tea, enjoyed the tasting, and then put down the tea bowl and looked at Zhu Huazhang with a smile.
Zhu Huazhang involuntarily lowered his head to avoid Old Lady Zhu's gaze.
"I think the nine girls did the right thing. You're too conformist, didn't you think about it before? ”
Zhu Huazhang was used to being conceited, and when he heard this, his face was very stiff and he lowered his head and said, "Please teach my father a lesson." ”
Old lady Zhu said slowly: "If you take a fixed monthly money, how can the shopkeeper try his best to increase the number of orders?" Anyway, it doesn't matter if there are more orders or fewer orders, and there is no impact on the income of the shopkeeper. Even the proprietors arranged by the family such as Nine Girls still have no monthly money. ”
Speaking of this, Old Lady Zhu leaned forward and looked at Zhu Huazhang who was tense with interest.
"Let me ask you, if you don't get a cut of the income of the cloth factory, will you run the cloth factory with your heart?"
Zhu Huazhang was choked by Old Lady Zhu's question.
Old lady Zhu smiled and said gently: "So, if you want the sheep to produce milk and not give the sheep grass, it is impossible." ”
"Dad, what do you say you should do?"
"Second child, when you go back, you will lower the shipping price in the factory by a few points, which is equivalent to the price of the goods delivered to the home by the nine girls, so that she will not be reluctant to go far. If she can make a profit, she will naturally try her best to push our own cloth. ”
"Yes."
Although Zhu Huazhang secretly hated Mrs. Zhu's refusal to support him, because the position of the heir of the head of the family was vacant, he had illusions about that position, so he naturally didn't dare to offend his father, so he could only agree respectfully.
"Father, what about the money in her account? My son should arrange an account room for her. ”
Old lady Zhu said: "You give her a reserve price, as long as the total profit under her operation is a lot the same as before, the above part will be operated by her." If she can really earn money, it is also her ability, and she deserves it. ”
"But, but if she raises the price privately, won't she be able to make money from it!"
"She has a profit to make, and when she tastes the sweetness, she is naturally like a dog hanging a meat bun in front of her, and she rushes forward with her life." Old Lady Zhu shook her head and said, "It seems that you don't understand what I said just now." Think about it. ”
After that, Mrs. Zhu ate tea leisurely again.
Zhu Huazhang stood in place and carefully recalled the words of Old Lady Zhu, and suddenly woke up.
If he can't make a profit, he naturally won't work hard to run a cloth factory.
Zhu Youning is also the same.
It seems that in the eyes of Old Lady Zhu, whether it is him or Zhu Youning, the cloth factory is a meat bun hanging in front of them. And they are the stupid dogs.
"You saw that the nine girls were doing well, so you made it easier for her."
Old lady Zhu raised her eyebrows to look at him, and smiled kindly: "If you let me see your ability, I will also make it convenient for you." Don't forget our Zhu family's family motto, the Zhu family only cultivates people with potential. How much ability you have and how much you can contribute to the family, the family will give you how much in return. ”
"Yes, Dad, I see." Zhu Huazhang bowed his head obediently.
"Hmm. If you understand, go down. Old lady Zhu waved his hand.
Zhu Huazhang felt even more embarrassed for a moment. But he didn't dare to disobey his father, so he had to bow his head and retreat, until he retreated to the bottom of the porch, and then turned around and strode away fiercely.
Old lady Zhu looked at the back of her second son, and put down the tea bowl with a smile for a long time.
And when Zhu Huazhang arrived at the gate, he originally wanted to tell her the news that Old Lady Zhu had decided to reduce the shipping price, and I felt that she knew that whether she could get the benefits or not was all happy or not for him, the upper peak.
But when I got to the door, I didn't see anyone.
After asking the boy guarding the door, I found out that Zhu Youning actually left with the maidservant when he first entered the house!
"This little!" Zhu Huazhang gritted his teeth and took a hard sip before returning home with a tense face.
※※※
The problem of floating goods in the cloth factory was easily solved, and now Zhu Youning's income on the table is already very considerable.
And Mrs. Zhu's attitude towards this matter really opened the eyes of the big shopkeepers in the cloth factory.
Everyone is speculating that maybe the old lady discovered the talents of his eldest son and granddaughter, and wanted to give them a chance to turn the tables, but he couldn't pull his face to be good to Zhu Huating, so he gave Zhu Youning the same opportunity.
Recalling that last year, she couldn't help but clean up Sun Da's shopkeeper, and this year she successfully made a profit, and took out the silver that should have been recorded in these shopkeepers' accounts from her own account book, where is this a simple milk doll?
It seems that their family either Zhu Youning has real skills, or Zhu Huating behind her has real skills.
If you meet Zhu Huating on the road in recent days, these people who have been treating him quite coldly and often sneering at him for more than a year have become very respectful, although they have not returned to the time when the stars held the moon, but they are not far away.
Seeing that the life of Zhu Huating's family is getting better and better, some people naturally can't get used to it.
"That ungrateful little brute, Brother Ma, you don't know, she is really a master who turns her face and doesn't recognize people, don't look at me as her grandfather, but I went to their house to see her, and I still eat her head, which makes me angry!"
The old lady Bai took a sip of wine as she spoke, shaking her head with a sad face.
Sixth uncle Bai Shengchun also shook his head and said, "Ma Yicheng, don't blame my father for exceeding the rules, he is psychologically sad, and my father is also a lover." Falling in love with you, I just said a few more words. You must have known that the little hoof was in charge of the business, and the first thing was to cut off my family's goods, and they would not sell their cloth to anyone to my grandfather, this matter...... Ay! ”
When Ma Tianrui heard this, he sighed with sympathy, and then comforted him.
After three rounds of drinking, the three of them pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and when they saw that it was late, Ma Tianrui took the newly acquired thin horse and said goodbye with a satisfied face.
When he left, Bai Shengchun asked worriedly: "Dad, we have a good relationship with the surnamed Ma, and we are giving silver and thin horses, whether it is reliable or not." ”
"You stupid, although he is a post man, haven't you seen that the county master is polite when he sees him! What are you saying? That's because Ma Yicheng is a Jinyi guard! It's very necessary for us to befriend him! ”
