Chapter Ninety-Three: The Flying Eagle Firm

As soon as Chen Luosheng accompanied Tong Kan to finish watching the war horse, he was called to the side hall of the conference hall, and before he could sit down, he heard Qin Zhen say with a smile: "Just now I discussed with Team Meng and Team Han, our Flying Eagle Regiment is going to set up a caravan, who do you think is in charge of this caravan?" ”

A touch of excitement appeared on Chen Luosheng's slightly thin and cold face, and when he heard Qin Zhen's last question, he rolled his eyes helplessly: "It's impossible for the three of you to be in charge of this matter, isn't it obvious that you're calling me here now?" ”

Meng Xuan laughed: "Captain Qin suggested that our Flying Eagle Regiment set up a caravan, and he proposed that you be the person in charge, and the two of us also think that you are the most suitable person, and now we also want to ask for your opinion." ”

Chen Luosheng patted his thigh: "What advice do you have to ask for, I definitely agree." You don't know, we Weizhou now has no foreign caravans, lack of materials, a lot of common things in the Central Plains to our here is ridiculously expensive, there are a lot of things even if you have money can not buy, this time I and the Meng team is going to Chang'an, Fengxiang, looking at those things in their market, I am thinking, as long as we can form a caravan, not to mention, as long as the things from Chang'an are transported to our Weizhou, we can make a lot of money, and our Tong'an Town's predicament can also solve a large part. I had long wanted to suggest to the captain that a caravan be formed, but the time was not ripe, and I didn't want to mention it, but I didn't expect it to be the captain who proposed it first. ”

"Now is such an opportunity, so I bring up this matter at this time to let you prepare in advance."

Chen Luosheng nodded and said: "This is indeed an excellent opportunity, it turns out that we want to set up a caravan, we don't have money in our hands, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, if we sell the war horse, we will have the capital to run the caravan in our hands." And this time I went to Fengxiang, it can be regarded as a preliminary opening of the trade route, the money is there, the trade route is also there, and the basic conditions for us to set up a caravan are also there, I originally thought that the captain was just winning in the overall situation, but I didn't expect to be so keen in business. ”

"I think you must have made a lot of preparations for this trip to Chang'an Fengxiang, what do you think is the most suitable for our start-up caravan?" Qin Zhen asked.

"Of course it's refined salt!" Chen Luosheng said without thinking.

Meng Xuan and Han Wenzhi invariably inspected Qin Zhen and Chen Luosheng's faces back and forth, and then glanced at each other, their expressions were very strange, if they hadn't been staying with Qin Zhen, they would have thought that Qin Zhen and Chen Luosheng had already discussed.

"Tell me your reasons!" Qin Zhen said indifferently.

Chen Luosheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes full of confidence: "There are four main reasons why I chose refined salt. First, the importance of salt, salt is a necessary item for our lives, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, it is inseparable from salt, as long as we can transport salt into Weizhou, we will not worry about selling; Second, the price of salt is very different, now in our Weizhou, a pound of refined salt was sold for a tael of silver, that's it, not to buy, the people can only use the local method to boil salt instead, in Qinzhou, a pound of salt is almost 700 Wen, and in Fengxiang, a Jin of salt is only sold for 170 Wen, Chang'an is even lower, 140 Wen a catty, the difference is so big, how profitable; Thirdly, the size of salt is small, easy to transport, we are a newly established caravan, the personnel are inexperienced, and we are not familiar with the trade routes, just suitable for transporting this small size, high profit goods, and so on after our caravan is stable, we can slowly develop other commodities. ”

"How?" Qin Zhen turned back to Meng Xuan and Han Wenzhi and asked.

Han Wenzhi exclaimed: "I originally thought that the business road was just the last way, but today when I heard Luosheng say this, I realized that I was a little pedantic, and there are also great things in the business road, not everyone can run a caravan, at least I can't." ”

Meng Xuan laughed and said: "Just now, Captain Qin told us, saying that you can accurately report the price of this thing in Weizhou, Fengxiang, and Chang'an, although I nodded and agreed, but I still had some doubts in my heart, and now I am really convinced." We went to Fengxiang Chang'an together, I only know that Fengxiang's things are much cheaper than our Weizhou things, but the specific gap is not counted, and you have so many things in your stomach, it really can't be compared. ”

Chen Luosheng said with a smile: "Captain Qin understands that I have been following the caravan since I can remember, and I have a strong interest in doing business since I was a child, so I don't pay more attention to these wherever I go." And Meng Teamzheng's interest is not in this, if it comes to leading troops to fight, arranging troops, and their own martial arts, then I'm afraid I won't even be able to see Meng Teamzheng's back in my life. ”

"Okay, you two don't compliment each other, since Luosheng is willing to be the head of this caravan, then this matter is settled, and the appointment of Luosheng will be announced when we discuss the meeting. However, if you are the leader of this caravan, you can only get the same amount of silver as us, and there is no way to realize your ideal of earning a big family business. ”

Chen Luosheng's eyes suddenly turned red: "Qin Zhen, I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly." ”

Qin Zhen said solemnly: "The mutton that night was very fragrant, and I have always clearly remembered everyone's ideals. ”

Chen Luosheng's eyes were a little confused: "Yes, the mutton that night was very fragrant, since I arrived at the Burzhi Horse Farm, I have never been as happy as I ate that time, because that night, the ten of us came back to life, it was you who made us all see hope and confided in everyone our ideals, and it was also from that time that I Chen Luosheng really began to admire you Qin Zhen." But now it seems that my vision was still too narrow at that time, and this ideal was a little too small. ”

"We have gone from nothing to now owning the land of Tong'an Town, although we are very weak and fragile now, but I can feel your ambition, I know that you will definitely not be willing to huddle in this town, this is just the beginning, I can also feel it, this is not just your ambition, many people have such thoughts, everyone tacitly works in that direction. I have always believed that a big tree will grow on this barren land in Longxi, and this big tree is us, and I can feel that power from the land of Tong'an Town. I am honored to be a part of this and witness the growth of this big tree, what is it compared to such an ideal? I like the feeling of earning money on my own, and I'll leave it to you how you spend it. ”

After speaking, Chen Luosheng frowned slightly: "I still have an idea, instead of us setting up a caravan, it is better for us to directly set up a business bank, the headquarters of the business bank is temporarily located in Weizhou City, and a branch is also set up in Tong'an Town, and the caravan is a subordinate institution of the business bank, so that a fixed business chain can also be formed." ”

Qin Zhen nodded and said: "Your proposal is good, then we will simply set up a trading bank, and you will directly be the person in charge of the trading bank, and you will also be in charge of the affairs of the caravan for the time being." ”

Meng Xuan said loudly: "Does Captain Qin have to give this firm a name, so that it can also make a name in Weizhou or even in other states and counties." ”

Qin Zhen looked at Chen Luosheng, Chen Luosheng quickly shook his head, and motioned for Qin Zhen to come and get it, Qin Zhen didn't shirk again, thought for a while, and said: "Since it is a firm established by our Flying Eagle Regiment, it is called Flying Eagle Firm, how about it?" ”

Chen Luosheng nodded and said, "Flying Eagle Firm!" This name is good, simple and clear, the characteristics are obvious, and it is easy to remember, I will definitely start the name of Flying Eagle Commercial Bank in Weizhou and even the whole Longxi. ”

Meng Xuan also smiled: "We are the Flying Eagle Regiment, and our firm is called the Flying Eagle Firm, which is called the same lineage, and the birth, congratulations, you will be the shopkeeper of the Flying Eagle Firm in the future." ”

Han Wenzhi stroked his goatee and said: "Flying Eagle Flying Eagle, an eagle with wings spread high, congratulations to Shopkeeper Chen, you will definitely be able to make our business firm spread its wings like an eagle." ”

Chen Luosheng stood up suddenly: "Thank you for your trust, I will do my best to run the Flying Eagle Commercial Bank, and I will not accept your expectations." ”

Qin Zhen shook his head, just when everyone didn't understand what was wrong, Qin Zhen suddenly said: "The shopkeeper's name is too small, which is not in line with Luosheng's current identity, so that Luosheng's position will be called the general manager in the future. ”

Meng Xuan's eyes lit up: "General manager, this title sounds domineering, but it is more enjoyable than my team title." Lord Captain, can you also help us come up with such a domineering and enjoyable title, this team really doesn't sound good. ”

Qin Zhen joked: "Is that the title of captain being a good time listening to the team?" ”

Meng Xuan hurriedly waved his hand while struggling: "I suddenly think that the title of team is also quite good." ”

Han Wenzhi said in a hurry: "Captain Qin, is the title of manager too big. Qin Shi Huang Benji has a saying, "Emperor Mingde, manager Yunei, hearing and hearing are not slack." The word manager has the meaning of governing the world, and it is extremely inappropriate for the person in charge of the firm to use this name. ”

Chen Luosheng originally liked the title of general manager, but when he heard Han Wenzhi's explanation, he was a little undecided, and looked at Qin Zhen with some uncertainty.

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "Our manager is the intention of business management, and has nothing to do with governing the world, so there is nothing wrong with it." Besides, those feudal towns in the Central Plains don't even take the emperor seriously now, and if they say that they rebel, they will rebel, so what does it matter if we use a title that can't be beaten with eight poles. ”
