Chapter 447: Capital-oriented
Shao Xi happily returned home with the baby he had just gotten and Lao Wu, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Liu Fu with a happy face, and hurriedly greeted him from the door, looking like something good had happened.
Liu Fu came to Shao Xi and Lao Wu, bowed and saluted, and then said with joy on his face: "Childe, just now the shopkeeper Cao of Taihe Commercial Bank sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the big shopkeeper is back, and I want to invite Gongzi to Taihe Commercial Bank to talk about it." ”
"Oh? Is the shopkeeper back? Shao Xi and Lao Wu couldn't help but be happy when they heard the news, since the farewell of the wild wolf slope, it has been almost a year in the blink of an eye, and sometimes Shao Xi is worried that Zhang Huanzhi led the caravan to the grassland and walked for so long and didn't come back, did something bad happen over there?
Now that I heard the news of Zhang Huanzhi's return, I naturally felt very happy, thinking that if it wasn't for the gold medal that Zhang Huanzhi gave him, it would not be so easy for me to gain a foothold in Daliang City.
And for so long, many things have troubled Taihe Commercial Bank, if it weren't for Zhang Huanzhi's face, his relationship with Taihe Commercial Bank would not have developed to this point, let alone so much convenience.
Speaking of which, Zhang Huanzhi is really a person who is kind to him. Now that the person has returned to Daliang City, and the shopkeeper Cao has sent someone to deliver the letter, he must rush over, don't say thank you first, no matter how you say it, it is an old friend, and it is inevitable to do it.
I don't know if Ding Yu'an came back with him? If you can reunite with friends, today is really a double happiness.
Shao Xi didn't enter the door, but just handed over the two swords on his body and the small wooden box containing the swordsmanship cheats to Fu Biao, who came out together, and asked him to help him keep it properly, turned around and got on the horse with Lao Wu and ran to Taihe Trading House.
After saying goodbye for so long, I don't know what Zhang Huanzhi and they have experienced on the grassland? I happened to inquire about it here, and maybe they had met Zhuoligetu of the Ministry of Thoth.
The two of them went all the way to the head office of Taihe Commercial Bank in Daliang City, and when they arrived at the door, they handed over the horses to the miscellaneous servants, and the two went straight into the lobby of Taihe Commercial Bank.
The guys of the trading house naturally recognized Shao Xi, and when they saw Shao Xi coming, they hurriedly greeted him, Shao Xi didn't talk nonsense, and asked if the big shopkeeper was back?
The guy saw that Shao Xi was here to find the big shopkeeper, so he only said that Shao Xi and the others would wait a while, and then trotted into the back hall.
Just a moment later, I heard the sound of laughter coming from the back hall, and then I saw Zhang Huanzhi's fat round body appear at the door.
Zhang Huanzhi walked quickly in front of Shao Xi, pulled Shao Xi up and down and looked it up and down several times, and finally said: "It's been almost a year, I didn't expect that so much time has passed all at once, and now I finally see Shao Gongzi again, it's really a rare happy thing!" Shao Xi also hurriedly replied: "The big shopkeeper, this grassland has been going for so long, and it really made the juniors worry for a while, and now seeing the big shopkeeper return safely, the juniors are finally relieved."
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank the big shopkeeper for taking care of him at the beginning, the younger generation has not bothered your bank in this year, and your bank has indeed helped the younger generation a lot, I really don't know how to thank the big shopkeeper!" Zhang Huanzhi laughed.
"I've listened to the shopkeeper Cao tell me about you, Shao Gongzi is really a young talent, I can't imagine that not only is his martial arts strong, but he is also unambiguous in business, and he has become a man of the year in this Liang City at a young age, it seems that I really didn't look away at the beginning, Shao Gongzi is indeed not an ordinary person, it is really gratifying!" Shao Xi knew in his heart that Zhang Huanzhi was an old fritter in the business field, no matter what he said, it was good to believe fifty or sixty percent, after all, no business person told the truth 100%.
But fortunately, he has also received favors from others, and he always wants to repay his kindness. So Shao Xi proposed to set up a table of banquets in Mochiyue Tower to wash the dust for Zhang Huanzhi, but Zhang Huanzhi was not ambiguous and responded happily.
After giving a general explanation of the affairs in the firm, Zhang Huanzhi and Shao Xi and Lao Wu got into the carriage dedicated to the big shopkeeper of Taihe Commercial Bank and came all the way to Wangyue Tower.
After the three of them chose the best private room on the second floor and sat down, they didn't have to worry about ordering food, and Lao Wu, an old wine worm and an old foodie, naturally arranged these things clearly.
After the three of them reminisced and politely talked about the old days again, the topic gradually began to get to the point.
"Shao Gongzi, I heard that Gongzi has now entered the court as an official, and he is a celebrity around the saint today, he just returned from Nanzhao two days ago, I didn't expect that Shao Gongzi would be prosperous in this Kyoto this year, he is really young and promising, and the future is terrifying! Here I want to congratulate Shao Gongzi first! ”
"The big shopkeeper has a good reputation, and the younger generation is just lucky! If it weren't for the gold medal of the big treasurer, we would have been hungry when we first arrived in Daliang City.
"Fortunately, thanks to the help of the shopkeeper of your bank, the two of us were able to gain a foothold in this Daliang City, and I would like to thank the big shopkeeper for the house, the younger generation is really deserved." Zhang Huanzhi waved his hand generously, his chubby face was full of smiles, and he said happily: "Huh! How can Shao Gongzi be grateful? If it wasn't for the son's action, my little daughter would probably be poisoned by those bad people, compared to this, to provide some convenience for the son in business, what is it to give the son a house? Childe must not take these little things to heart.
"I've heard Shopkeeper Cao tell me, Son, your business is not small now! I heard that Childe created a new method of papermaking, what other movable type printing technology? It's a bookstore again, and it's a school, and now the name of the son in this Daliang City can be said to be known to everyone, no one knows, and I, the big shopkeeper of Taihe Commercial Bank, are very envious when I hear it!
"Now it is an honor for our Taihe firm to be able to cooperate with Gongzi to do business together, after all, only Gongzi can afford to play this royal name in this world.
"In the future, no matter what needs the son has in business, no matter where the Taihe firm in the world is, as long as the son you speak, we will do our best to help and cooperate! I believe that doing business with my son will be a source of wealth and prosperity! As soon as Shao Xi heard it, a businessman is a businessman, and he does not leave the bank in three sentences, it seems that Zhang Huanzhi is now also playing the idea of the royal name in his hand.
Nowadays, although he and Taihe Commercial Bank have a lot of cooperation in money exchanges, they have never had substantial cooperation in business.
Now when I mention to myself the business of paper mills, printing rooms and bookstores in this big Liang city, I am only here for the royal brand.
However, although Shao Xi initially engaged in these businesses to make money, these businesses directly involved the public opinion propaganda and talent education and training of the entire Jingyuan Empire, and they were just for the sake of doing things well under the name of royalty.
But if these businesses are mixed in by a pure businessman like Zhang Huanzhi, I am afraid that the taste will change over time.
Shao Xi also often cared about some international current affairs before crossing over, and naturally knew very well that capital was profit-seeking, and people who held capital in their hands did everything for the sake of profit, and it was a joke to talk about the moral bottom line with these people.
It would definitely not be a good thing to let a pure businessman like Zhang Huanzhi get involved in the field of public opinion and education.
But now that the other party has made such an obvious hint, if he doesn't have some response, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable.
So he smiled and said to Zhang Huanzhi: "I have always been taken care of by the big shopkeeper, and the younger generation is indeed unrequited, but the business in this Daliang City is related to literati, and it also has to deal with the bachelors of various factions in the world."
"You also know that it is very boring to contact these sour literati for a long time, if the big shopkeeper is interested in cooperating with the younger generation in business, it is better to do some business that pays back faster, has higher profits, and is easier to make money." When Zhang Huanzhi heard Shao Xi say this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became interested.
In the two days since he returned to Daliang City from the grassland, he was amazed by Shao Xi's ability to do business, and now he does have the idea of cooperating with Shao Xi in business, especially when he heard that Shao Xi has the royal backing in this business, which can be said to be a million profits, and there is no loss.
At this time, I heard Shao Xi say that there is such a good business, how can I not be impressed?
"Shao Gongzi still has such a lucrative business in his hands? I'd like to hear about it. ”
"Speaking of the younger generation, the envoy to Nanzhao passed through Yujiang County, Yuzhou, that Yujiang County guarded corruption and bent the law, and privately levied business taxes, which has been disposed of by the younger generation, and he took over the property of his Zhao family in Yujiang County, and the big shopkeeper should know that the cloud yarn of Yujiang County is famous all over the world.
"Now this business has been controlled by the younger generation, since the big shopkeeper is interested in cooperating with the younger generation, why don't we do this cloud yarn business together, and it is also a royal brand, and soon there will be a large number of cloud yarn sold to Nanzhao in the near future, I don't know if the big shopkeeper is interested?" The national brand is still doing foreign trade, and it is difficult for ordinary people to refuse this kind of business, especially a businessman like Zhang Huanzhi, who has a strong capital in his hands, and knows that the profits are considerable.
Shao Xi's purpose in doing this was only to hope that the public opinion tools and talent selection agencies in his hands would not fall into the hands of capital, so he proposed a more profitable cooperation project.
Shao Xi didn't want the Jingyuan Empire to be like some countries in the modern world where he once lived, where official institutions were controlled by mercenary capital, and in the end it seemed to be powerful but in shambles.
Zhang Huanzhi heard that Shao Xi had controlled almost half of the cloud yarn industry in the Jingyuan Empire, and they were all royal brands, and he would be able to do cloud yarn business with Nanzhao in the future, so he was naturally overjoyed.
"I can't imagine that Shao Gongzi's business has become so big now, but I don't know how we should cooperate in the future?"
"I have always been taken care of by the big treasurer, and the younger generation has nothing to repay! He took out 10% of the net profit of the cloud yarn business and distributed it to the big shopkeeper. ”
"With such a huge industry, you actually share my net profits, son, are you serious?"
