A few years ago, Wang Zhennan asked people to choose an auspicious day and held a wedding for Wang Dakuan and Bai Xiaohe on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month.

Of course, this is a big event and a happy event. Before doing this, on the 20th of the lunar month, Zhao Chongyang decided to gather the main members of several major alliance allies and first announced a major decision, that is, the establishment of the Nanjing Fu Wantong Commercial Bank (or Chamber of Commerce). Those who are willing to join in the future can share the Hongli generated by the new products developed by the Zhao family in the future.

It turned out that the Hongli shared by everyone was mainly textile, paper mill and liquor, and the output of perfume was still relatively small, limited to the Zhao family and Weiyuan Dart Bureau, while the profits of the ironware workshop were limited to the Zhao family and the Liu family. This year, Zhao Chongyang decided to develop soap, soap, restaurant, if conditions permit, you can also consider the development of water jade (glass) products, Zhao Chongyang said, as long as everyone is willing to join, we support the Liu family, Zhou family, Zhu family to other Fuzhou to expand the market, and the Zhao family is responsible for the development of new products and the market in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and with Weiyuan Dart Bureau and Zhao family, Liu family bodyguard team as the mainstay, the establishment of Wantong Commercial Bank bodyguard corps, is expected to recruit 1200 young people, plus the original number, the bodyguard corps will be expanded to 1800 people, A dart division of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau is responsible for training the bodyguard team, and leading the bodyguard team to arm the goods.

Of course, Zhao Chongyang will not force any party to join, and those who are unwilling to join will maintain the status quo, and if the goods cannot be sold by themselves, they can be sold to Wantong Commercial Bank at a 6% discount on the local price, and Wantong Commercial Bank will help handle it. After everyone weighed the pros and cons, everyone was willing to join. In this way, Zhao Chongyang talked about the purpose and rules of the firm, and everyone agreed to elect Zhao Wuji as president, and Liu Erye, Wang Zhennan, Zhou Qifu, and Zhu Yu became vice presidents.

The meeting divided the work of each person: Zhao Wuji was responsible for the affairs of the headquarters and the overall entry of goods, as well as the production of the various workshops of the Zhao family. Liu Erye is responsible for leading the Liu family's business team to develop the business of Yangzhou Mansion and manage the Liu family's workshop, and Zhu Yuchengjia is responsible for the workshop under the jurisdiction of the Zhu family and the business of Linjiang County, and is responsible for expanding the business of Zhenjiang Mansion. In addition to the existing business and workshop, the Zhou family is also responsible for the business development of Chuzhou.

Zhao Chongyang asked that in addition to the dart bureau, each family should conduct business training: each family selected 10 young and promising business personnel for a two-month business business training, and each family sent a proficient business backbone to serve as a training teacher, and Zhao Chongyang will also come to teach in person when he is free. Each family selects five young men and women to come to Piao Restaurant for chef training, learning hotel management and cooking various dishes, so as to start restaurant business in various places. Each family selected 10 Tongwen and Mo to learn arithmetic knowledge, and Qian Xiaobo and Qian Xiaoan served as training teachers. After the training, the Zhu family sent 6 people to the Zhou family to manage the accounts, the Zhou family assisted, the Zhou family sent 6 people to the Liu family to manage the accounts, the Liu family assisted, the Liu family sent people to the Zhao family to manage the accounts, and the Zhao family sent 6 people to the Zhu family to manage the accounts. Mr. Qian Liping served as the chief financial officer of the Chamber of Commerce, and also managed the accounts of Tianxiang Building and Zhaojia Wharf, and each family sent two people to the headquarters to assist Mr. Qian in managing the finances.

Wang Zhennan served as the captain of the bodyguard team, Zhou Tong and Zhou Daxing served as the head coach, and the dart masters served as instructors and heads of the battalion companies, and the middle and lower leaders of the children of each dart. The bodyguard corps has three battalions.

First, the battalion directly under the headquarters is responsible for the protection of the headquarters and the workshops, the specific division of labor, the Zhu family workshop recruits 48 people, the headquarters is responsible for accompanying the training, the Zhou family visits, 48 people, the headquarters sends the chief and deputy platoon commanders to be responsible for training. Tianxiang Building, the headquarters is Zhaojia Wharf, a company of 200 people, the headquarters sent people for training. The Zhao family has a quota of 150 people, the Liu family has a quota of 150 people, a total of 600 people, and three companies form a battalion directly under it, and Wang Zhennan is also the battalion commander.

The second is Qian Xiaobo, commander of the naval battalion, who has three companies of 600 people, as well as some sailors, dozens of cargo ships, and some patrol speedboats. In the future, he will be responsible for the armed escort on the river.

The third battalion is an army battalion with three companies and a number of carriages, and the coachmen are concurrently served by soldiers, mainly responsible for armed escorts on land. When there is no out-of-town mission, in addition to normal training, all bodyguard soldiers must participate in the work tasks arranged by the head of the headquarters or station.

In addition, since it is a chamber of commerce, everyone naturally has to pay membership dues, this year the other four parties each pay 50,000 yuan, and the Zhao family pays 200,000 yuan as a membership fee, which is used for shipbuilding, buying carriages, and the expenses of knives and guns, crossbows, armor, artillery, and ammunition of the bodyguard team.

The annual profit is the total sales amount after deducting the salaries, bonuses and costs of all the staff, so it doesn't matter if one party has more manpower, because the chamber of commerce pays the salary, and there are bonuses for doing a good job. The annual net profit Zhao Chongyang raised 100,000 yuan as a bonus for the development of new technologies, the remaining Zhao family accounted for 20%, the rest of the four parties each 10% and a half, and the remaining 20% as membership dues for the next year's expenses.

After the arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce, President Zhao Wuji said to everyone: "Now tell you that the first happy event since the establishment of our Chamber of Commerce, is the eldest son of Wang Zhennan, vice president of our Wantong Chamber of Commerce, Wang Dakuan, the head of the bodyguard corps, will be happy with Ms. Bai Xiaohe, the best date is set on the 26th of the lunar month, and on the 25th, we will be here to entertain the guests and friends who came to congratulate us, this is the first major event of our entire Chamber of Commerce. I'm not going to send you invitations one by one. Let us wish the wedding of the two couples a successful one with warm applause.

Sure enough, on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the headquarters of Wantong Commercial Bank began to receive guests who came to congratulate them. When the Wantong Chamber of Commerce was established, it did not invite the giant businessmen of Nanjing Fucheng to come to congratulate them, and quietly established a business giant with millions of funds.

This time, many merchants want to get in touch with the business bank, and take this opportunity to offer a generous gift, and maybe they can reap some benefits. For example, the perfume they are in short supply can get a wholesale price for a long time through the channel, and the money earned from the purchase will make up the gift money. Zhao Chongyang believes that in the past year, Bai Xiaohe has earned tens of thousands of yuan more for everyone, so he rewarded Senior Sister Bai with 2,000 yuan in his personal name. In addition, on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the Zhao family gave a gift of 5,000 yuan. Liu Yuhua and Liu Yubo each gave a gift of 2,000 yuan, and the other rooms made up 2,000 yuan. Zhu Yucheng and his son gave a gift of 2,000 yuan, and Zhu Yuru gave 1,000 yuan. Because Zhou Daifu was a relative, he made up 2,000 guan alone, Zhou Qifu and Zhou Qigui made 2,000 guan, and the family made up 1,000 guan. At the suggestion of Mr. Qian, Weiyuan Dart Bureau was an old brother, and he agreed to make more than 200,000 yuan this year, and raised 50,000 yuan as a congratulatory gift for everyone. , down to 30,000. In the end, all the gifts received were summed up, and there were more than 120,000 yuan. It took more than 10,000 to run the banquet, and in the end there were 110,000 left. Everyone said that this was the grandest wedding banquet in Nanjing in the past ten years......

The wedding of Wang Dakuan and Bai Xiaohe finally came to an end in a congratulatory voice. The New Year is approaching, and the guests are going home one after another to prepare for the New Year.

On this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhaojiazhuang is even more lively than ever. A few months ago, Zhao Wuji Zhao Zhuang had a depression of more than 20 acres in Zhaojiazhuang leveled with mud and stones, and spread fine sand and cinders on it. A high platform was erected on the north side, two buildings were built on both sides of the high platform, one was a restaurant in the village, when there were guests to buy goods, they ate and lived here, and for a long time the bodyguards stationed here, and the staff of each workshop prepared three meals a day, and the meals were only charged at cost price, so the bodyguard team and the staff of each workshop were willing to eat lunch and dinner here. As a result, there are nearly 50 male and female staff members who cook and do chores in the restaurant alone. The other building houses the soldiers of the bodyguard team.

Now, with the money of the owner of Zhao Zhuang, the whole village holds a large-scale reunion year activity here. Celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve and celebrate the New Year. On this afternoon, the firecrackers of the regiment alone were set off one after another for an hour, and the fireworks in the evening were even more from the hour to the hour. In short, after such a year, Zhao Chongyang's family set off thousands of yuan for fireworks alone......

The New Year passed quickly in the midst of people's songs and laughter. After the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhou Tong and Zhou Xingda were ready to set off and go to Zhongnan Mountain to find Jia Ping'an, the old monster of Zhongnan.
