As Zhu Hao grew older, the people he knew mentioned about women intentionally or unintentionally.

Some people want to give him a marriage, some want to take him to visit Fengyue places, and some people like Su Xigui are more direct, always stuffing women without names to him, which just proves how common the four magic weapons of wine and wealth are in this era.

If Zhu Hao wants to cultivate an opera troupe, he can send someone to buy the opera by himself, and his own opera troupe has a lot of manpower, and there are not a few female actors who have been recruited into the opera troupe from all over the world.

It is also necessary to have a figure, to look good, as the young owner of the troupe, really want them to do something, they are qualified to refuse?

Zhu Hao did not accept Su Xigui's "good intentions" because he tried his best to avoid having too direct interests with Su Xigui.

Soon after Su Xigui arrived in Beijing, some of Zhu Hao's men, including Guan Dezhao's father and son, also arrived in Beijing.

The troupe didn't follow, Guan Dezhao's father and son were called into the capital alone, and as for the other subordinates in the same company, they were mainly businessmen, including Ouyang Fei.

Ouyang Fei is eighteen this year, in the past few years, under Zhu Hao, he first took care of the workshop, and later was responsible for business, through the original channels of the Ouyang family, a large number of fabrics produced were trafficked to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River for sale.

Zhu Hao went to see Guan Dezhao first in the afternoon and discussed with him the matter of letting Guan worship the teacher.

Guan Dezhao really agreed happily, and even offered to thank the teacher, and now Zhu Hao is an unattainable existence in the eyes of these little people, and Guan Dezhao's loyalty can only look up and stutter.

After discussing the details of the apprenticeship, Zhu Hao went to see Ouyang Fei when it was approaching dusk.

Ouyang Fei has just settled down here, living in a private courtyard near Chongwenmen, in the past few years, she has traveled from south to north, and in terms of personal self-care, she has basically abandoned the previous frame of the daughter of a big family, and is more like a folk woman, independent and self-reliant.

After Zhu Hao arrived, she first eagerly asked Zhu Hao to stop letting her be in charge of selling fabrics.

"Oh, the amount of cloth needed by the army has increased lately, and the fabrics produced by the workshops have been temporarily sold to munitions, although the price is not as good as that of trafficking to other places, and it is better to sell as it is produced, without the need to discount the freight. In the future, I will gradually move the workshop in the land of Anlu to Shuntianfu, but it will not be opened in the capital, where the labor cost is relatively high, so I still have to move out. ”

As a new "capitalist", Zhu Hao knows what it means to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

In terms of manufacturing, it is necessary to save labor costs, and in terms of sales, it is simple and fast to sell fabrics directly to Su Xigui, and the capital turnover efficiency is very high. With the improvement of his status and status, it is unlikely that Su Xigui will cheat him, and Su Xigui is not using Zhu Hao's goods to sell them to various places to grab the market, but really sending them to the army as military supplies, which can be described as once and for all.

Zhu Hao has not relied too much on his own sales channels, rather than bothering to work hard, it is better to wait for himself to become an official and have more power to reopen channels, which is completely different from the current business system.

Of course, Zhu Hao can't tell Ouyang Fei that he is doing business with Su Xigui, lest he feel that he has abandoned his subordinates, after all, Su Xigui still bears a certain responsibility for the bankruptcy of the Ouyang family, and Ouyang Fei has always been suspicious of Su Xigui.

Zhu Hao got up: "After you arrive in the capital, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the capital workshop, and I will leave first." ”

Sales is a money-making business, Zhu Hao temporarily cut off Ouyang Fei's supply channel, which is equivalent to saying that Ouyang Fei has less opportunity to earn commissions, although the management workshop will also give a certain salary, but this is a part-time job, and there is no way out.

"But the owner, what about our business in Jiangnan? So many people are still waiting to be raised. Ouyang Fei was a little anxious.

Zhu Hao said: "To be honest, Miss Ouyang, the profits brought to me by the business in the south are not high, when there is more than one piece of cloth, I can't even earn two dollars of silver, and when I have less, it is only a few dozen yuan, excluding all kinds of labor costs, how much money can I make by selling thousands of pieces of cloth in a year?" ”

"You can expand the market......

Ouyang Fei said eagerly.

Zhu Hao was embarrassed to say, you can't monopolize the market if you give you high-quality and low-cost licensed goods, and you still boasted to me about Haikou and said to expand the market? How is the expansion method?

Of course, the market can not be expanded, there are reasons for the run of Jiangnan businessmen, even if the cloth produced by Zhu Hao has various advantages, but the wine is good and afraid of deep alleys, many people do not know that there is such a high-quality and inexpensive cloth, and competitors will maliciously slander what is "the dead man is picked off", "a tear will break" These almost nonsense rumors, so that the cloth produced by Zhu Hao's workshop is only accepted by a few middle and lower class people in Jiangnan.

Obviously, it is no different from ordinary cloth, or even better, but because of the low price and low market share. As for parity or high-priced sales, it's even more useless.

The Ouyang family finally went bankrupt, and Zhu Hao felt that there was a reason, because from top to bottom, he really couldn't do the market, it was ...... It's hard to put into words.

Zhu Hao said: "For the time being, it will be sold as military supplies first, and the people who purchase the cloth will not find trouble with us, and the payment will be made quickly, as for the channels that your family used to have, leave it for later." If the staff can be dismissed, they will be dismissed......"

My cloth was sold to make money, not to support idlers, so Zhu Hao almost asked Ouyang Fei to dissolve the sales network.

……

……

Ouyang Fei's face was sad, in fact, she also expected today's ending, but she was not willing to accept this scene.

The sky gradually darkened, and Zhu Hao got up to leave.

Ouyang Fei's pink cheeks turned red, and he said, "Don't the owner stay after dinner and leave?" ”

Zhu Hao asked in surprise: "You just settled down, and the stove is all up?" ”

In the past few years, Zhu Hao has not treated Ouyang Fei badly, nominally Zhu Hao's "maidservant", but in fact, she still has her own independent living and working space, and even Zhu Hao helped hire a mother-in-law and a maid, who often take care of her and still live the life of a young lady.

Zhu Hao gave Ouyang Fei a lot of commissions, adding up to more than three hundred taels of silver, of course, it was still a little far from paying off the debts of the Ouyang family.

Zhu Hao was completely divided in the way agreed at the beginning, and Ouyang Fei also made money for Zhu Hao, but the strength could not satisfy Zhu Hao.

Ouyang Fei lowered his head in shame: "It's okay for the owner to spend the night here." ”

When these words came out, Ouyang Fei almost didn't dare to look at Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao understood when he heard it, and suddenly thought that Su Xigui sent the play, and Sun Ru wanted to take him to Fengyue to see a thing or two, the purpose is the same, his age is indeed not an adult, but because he has been admitted to the Gongshi, it is equivalent to becoming an upper-class person in society, then he can "grow up early", and any situation of marriage or affairs between men and women will become a means of friendship or alliance.

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "I...... I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

In fact, Zhu Hao really doesn't understand, to say that Ouyang Fei is also a lady, even if she is from a businessman's family, but in fact, her family education is very good, and her appearance is even more first-class.

You must know that it is impossible for Zhu Hao to give her a name, and even she can only exist as a maid, even if something really happens, there will be no breakthrough in the relationship between the two, and no one will be responsible for her, she herself should be very aware of this, but she took the initiative without any expression from Zhu Hao.

There is only one explanation for this, Ouyang Fei wants to exchange for a free body in this way, or in exchange for more resources for Zhu Hao.

Ouyang Fei listened to Zhu Hao's answer, her face was red, and she stammered: "The owner...... Overnight stay...... The concubine will serve left and right. ”

Zhu Hao said: "It's not that I don't understand what you mean by staying overnight, but I can't figure out why your attitude has changed so much...... In my eyes, Miss Ouyang has always paid attention to the face of the family, and you know that wronging yourself will not bring any results. ”

Ouyang Fei gritted his teeth and said, "I know." ”

"Then you still wronged yourself?"

Zhu Hao seems to be discussing a philosophical issue with others.

Ouyang Fei said: "The concubine is not young, it's time to plan for the future, and the concubine has no other choice." ”

Zhu Hao nodded.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Fei used to be a simple and innocent little girl, who was deceived in business, but now she feels that she has grown up a little, and it seems that she has still been deceived......

It is estimated that the mother-in-law and the maid usually keep encouraging her in her ear, saying that you are a maid like us, and you have signed a deed of sale, why do you still have to be nervous? It's not as good as being honest, in order to make money to restore the glory of the family, it is not a loss to be a foreign house for an owner who was born as a jinshi......

Even if Zhu Hao hadn't heard those conversations, he had already figured out a rough idea in his heart.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, this girl is that her parents died too early, her life was controlled by others, and now even her thoughts are about to be controlled by others.

Zhu Hao said: "I'm not refusing you, but I think that the time is not yet ripe, you should settle down first and familiarize yourself with the customs and customs of Beijing, even if there is such a thing, let's talk about it later." ”

Of course, Zhu Hao is not willing to accept this kind of "deal".

I'm a young talent, even if you Ouyang Fei really have that talent, but your IQ is at the bottom, just because you also want to "old cows eat tender grass", let me hand over the most innocent and beautiful things to you? Although we are an equal exchange, it is obviously me who suffers, okay?

But Zhu Hao also knows how much courage Ouyang Fei needs to show when he says the previous words regardless of his personal self-esteem, if he refuses directly, it is difficult to say whether Ouyang Fei will not be able to think about it, even if he can calm down for a while, he will not work too hard for himself in the future.

Then drag it out first.

Things fade away.

You are eighteen years old, and you are a late marriage in this era, but are you really very old?

In terms of psychological age, you are an innocent little girl in my eyes Zhu Hao, and I will not give you this kind of harsh social class first.

"When will the owner ......?"

Zhu Hao insisted on leaving, and Ouyang Fei was in a hurry and wanted to ask for an accurate answer.

Zhu Hao said: "Is this important? Your job is to help me take care of my business, and ...... Let it be. ”
