Chapter 136: Rectifying the Liu Family
Today is a big day, the sun is shining, all the shopkeepers and bookkeepers of the Liu family have gathered in the ancestral house of the Liu family, today is not only the day when the old lady retreats into the background, but also the day when the Liu family officially welcomes the new head of the family, so many people in the city also came to congratulate together.
A lord who became the head of the Shangjia family is a bit of a drop when he says it, and everyone is curious about what kind of person can take over the Liu family at this time.
Liu Fan didn't wear the knight's outfit today, but just put on a brocade robe, because of his handsome appearance, he was already the focus of attention in the crowd, not to mention the second and third generations of the Liu family.
Killing chicken and stew, the delicacy from Chang'an City has already been met by Liu Fan with the chef of the Liu family, the fragrance is fragrant, so that all visitors are curious to explore the source of deliciousness.
While welcoming the guests, Liu Fan listened to Liu Qinghe's introduction to the identity of the guests, they were all figures with heads and faces in Xuancheng, and when the sun was up, Liu Fan retreated to the hall.
The old lady had already put on her best clothes and was waiting, and when she saw Liu Fan coming in, she was a little regretful, a little emotional, and a little proud and expectant, and took Liu Fan's hand with complicated eyes and said, "Good grandson, you're tired!" ”
Liu Fan smiled: "Don't be tired, grandma, sit down, I'll see if there's anything else to help around!" ”
"What a help, sit down!"
Liu Fan looked at the jealous and dissatisfied eyes of the third generation around him, and said with a smile: "Grandma, how did you convince them?" ”
"Humph! are all incompetent, what do you need to convince, it's good to rely on our family not to worry about food and drink, do you still want to be the head of the house? Do they have that ability? The old body was a little intimidated, and they were all frightened! ”
Liu Fan smiled.
Some acquaintances shouted that the guests should sit down, and saw that all the guests were led to their own positions, and the old lady coughed and said: "Today is a happy day for our Liu family, and the business will be handed over to Liu Fan, the descendants of the Liu family. ”
Liu Fan stood up at the right time and saluted the surroundings, and many visitors said that they didn't dare to be.
The old lady motioned to Liu Fan to say a few words, and Liu Fan said with a smile: "Uncles, the boy has been in Chang'an City for a long time, and Xuancheng is not often back, I am fortunate to have the trust of the grandmother, so that the boy can be the head of the Liu family. ”
One of them stood up and said loudly: "Liu family boy, we are the docking person of your timber, we have been dealing with the old lady in previous years, I want to ask, in the future, can we make the timber bigger, no matter how big it is, it will not be cost-effective for us to continue this business!" ”
The old lady's face changed, and she just wanted to accuse, Liu Fan had already smiled and said: "Of course, the business of wood can be bigger, but I think this pattern is small, every year the wood is mainly supplied to our coffin shop, and more places need to be supplied in the future, there will be a charter coming out, and then we will have a private chat!" ”
Another humane: "The head of the Liu family, our business in previous years has had a lot of intersections, this new official has three fires, how does the head of the Liu family want to develop in the future, let's talk about it, so as not to make trouble in the future!" ”
There was a commotion, and Liu Fan said with a smile: "It's normal to do business, it's normal to have a little intersection, and the current way of doing business in the Liu family is honest, I don't want to move, but there will also be some new opportunities to make a fortune, it depends on whether your uncles are willing to make a fortune together, if you do it properly, it is still possible to make a few hundred yuan a year in the future!" ”
As soon as these words came out, a burst of discussion sounded, and they all exclaimed that it was impossible.
Liu Fan waited until they were talking a little quieter before he said: "Everything is possible, everyone, in fact, we can set up a chamber of commerce, the era of fighting alone should have long been a thing of the past, and only by fighting together can we create a larger market, of course, the kid has no talent and no virtue now, you still can't look down on it, today we only eat and drink, if you are interested, you can come to Chang'an City to see, there is a Linjia Village next to Chang'an City, the development of Linjia Village is not bad, and the net profit last year was about 13,000 yuan, And this is only about a thousand people to create profits, which involves a wide range, a moment is not clear, if you are interested, you may wish to take a look and then make up your mind, oh yes, this Linjia Village is a kid single-handedly developed, the results are OK, in the future it should be a step further, come, eat wine! ”
Liu Fan stopped the topic in time, and it didn't make much sense to continue, businessmen are profit-seeking, and there are money-making projects that are enough to unite everyone together, how powerful the Hui businessmen of later generations are, although there are no businessmen who defy the sky, but as long as the development is good, these businessmen can also create amazing miracles.
It's just a pity that this era is not very friendly to businessmen, and the tax is very high, so it can't be changed at present, so we can only wait for the opportunity to improve the businessman's level, and then we have to fight for more activity space for the businessman, so that the use of the businessman's profit-seeking nature is enough to develop a business empire.
Liu Fan's eyes have never been in China, and when the ship is built, after the first wave of dividends, these businessmen will definitely join together to directly meet the overseas market.
Look at what kind of overseas market is now, it's a blue ocean, and the Tang people will use their top military force and rich commercial resources to expand a broader territory for the Tang Dynasty, maybe there are fewer people in the Tang Dynasty now, but it doesn't matter, the Turks have been wiped out, and then the Tang Dynasty will recuperate for a period of time, this time will be the outbreak period of the population, as long as the population can keep up, in the next few years, no one will worry about expanding more territory for the sake of interests.
In fact, Liu Fan still has a little selfishness, he is unsatisfactory in Datang, he can let these businessmen develop their armed forces in the overseas market, isn't it fragrant to be a local emperor overseas? What's more critical is that Datang needs people to guard the herds, and when the time is ripe, and then send officials to parachute directly, it will make the local territory directly become the territory of Datang, and these businessmen have long been accustomed to the days of the emperor of the earth, they will definitely not be able to let go of the rights that they have finally obtained, at that time, there may be bloodshed, but presumably more people will choose to expand out again, as long as it continues to develop like this, Liu Fan feels that the territory of Datang can be completely unrestricted.
Although there are many people who come forward to know each other, Liu Fan also did not refuse, and exchanged whether there was the possibility of cooperation in the future, and the guests also respected this meal, and they all thought that it was the best meal they had eaten over the years.
