Chapter 0008: Rivals Gather

The plan of the day is in the morning.

As soon as the day dawned, Zhu Chengjun had already led everyone to start busy.

In the backyard of the store, the appetizing scent spreads around.

Making charcoal into barbecue charcoal is a product after deep processing of charcoal, and this era has not yet appeared. In this way, charcoal is not only a finished product that can be used directly, but also a raw material, which is a technological upgrade of the charcoal industry in Zhu Chengjun's view. As long as the barbecue charcoal can be successfully launched, it is undoubtedly a strong medicine to boost the long-term sluggish charcoal market.

In the Jiangnan water town of the land of Lianghuai, fish is a common ingredient, and the way of eating barbecue is not yet popular. To change everyone's eating habits in a short period of time, Zhu Chengjun thinks that he doesn't have the ability to do it, and changing his personal eating habits can only be slowly and imperceptibly like a spring breeze and drizzle. At present, the grilled fish is just to show the role of barbecue charcoal, and it is not difficult for those who know how to see the business opportunities contained in it.

In order to tear off a bit of meat from the wolf's mouth faster, Zhu Chengjun felt really uncomfortable when he found out that he had to do so much work to hide people's eyes. Through this current operation, although it is hard and cumbersome, it can avoid the black hand behind the interest group. Zhu Chengjun thinks that it is worth it to ensure his own safety, if the industrial upgrading of barbecue charcoal can be smoothly promoted, it will be an unexpected surprise.

"Zhu Gongzi, Captain Chang Song has arrived with the goods." Zhang San, who was in charge of guarding the door of the store, ran in quickly to report.

"Come to me as soon as they unload their goods." Zhu Chengjun is worried that there are too few people available under his subordinates, and the support for warming up is coming, which can be described as timely rain.

"It smells so good!" Chang Song's rough voice could be heard through several doors.

Although Chang Song is a rough man, he will always unconsciously restrain and show enough respect in front of Zhu Chengjun.

"Now is not the time to eat, time is pressing, let the members of the charcoal transport team immediately wash their hands and faces and change their clothes immediately." It won't be long before the opening of the business, and no one should tell that these people are hired by themselves.

Everyone acted on Zhu Chengjun's words as if they were in accordance with the holy order, regardless of the cold and freezing.

After everyone cleaned up, Zhu Chengjun's eyes swept over everyone and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, they're all in good spirits." After some hard work, everyone's mental outlook is like two people. Zhu Chengjun immediately straightened his face and said solemnly: "Remember what you have to say and what you have to do, if anyone goes wrong, they will not be spared." ”

"Yes!"

"Action!"

Zhu Chengjun gave an order, and everyone grabbed the grilled fish and rushed out of the backyard and ran towards the set route.

"Big brother! Oh no, there are tax collectors to collect taxes. As soon as Zhu Chengjun made arrangements, Xu Xiao rushed in.

Zhu Chengjun's face instantly turned cold, he came to collect taxes as soon as it opened, it was unreasonable, and he said secretly: Smash the field!

"Don't panic, you and I have seen fewer cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods? Don't be impulsive for a while, just look at the way I look. Zhu Chengjun instructed Xu Xiao and immediately put on a smiling face.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face person, Zhu Chengjun knows that the tax collectors who can mix with the yamen know more about the world than ordinary people, and they may not be beaten immediately in the face of the smiling face, whether you hit or not depends on whether you mean it or not, the meaning is not in place, these stinky flies are absolutely turned their faces and do not recognize people, Zhu Chengjun is once again taught the domineering of the people who take the job of the yamen.

Approaching the lobby of the store, Zhu Chengjun led Xu Xiao to suddenly speed up his pace, showing a look of sincere fear.

"The two adults are here, and the contemptible people are disrespectful, disrespectful, and disrespectful!" Zhu Chengjun's face was full of enthusiasm, and then he scolded Xu Xiao angrily: "You can't come to trouble, how can you snub the two adults." What are you doing! Let people serve tea! ”

The tax collectors exchanged glances with each other, slightly bowed their heads and showed a satisfied smile, and said in their hearts: This kid will come to trouble.

"The two adults have been busy in the next place, so they will make up the taxes." Zhu Chengjun gave Xu Xiao a look, and Xu Xiao immediately presented the silver that was about to be prepared with both hands.

The two tax collectors glanced at the white 'tax silver' in the tray, and the smile on their faces became stronger, and in their opinion, the good people who can take the initiative to pay taxes are too rare in this year.

"As soon as the store opened, it welcomed two distinguished customers, and God favored it. A small meaning, not a tribute. Zhu Chengjun asked Xu Xiao to secretly stuff silver into the hands of the two.

Dealing with these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, Zhu Chengjun told all the lies that he had never told in his previous life, and he said that it was a smooth one. If he knew how he was behaving at the moment, Zhu Chengjun would have been surprised if he recalled it afterwards.

"Hmm...... If everyone was as good at business as Childe, the errands I waited for would be much easier. The two tax collectors sighed with emotion, and the smile on their faces hung for a long time, but they still didn't want to sink.

"Yes, the small shop will be indispensable for two adults to 'take care of' in the future." Zhu Chengjun glanced at the silver on the tray, and gave the two tax collectors a look with his eyelids, and the two of them tacitly understood it, and it seemed that they both understood.

"I still have official business, so I won't bother Zhu Gongzi much, I wish you a prosperous business." The two tax collectors would have sworn that this was the most satisfactory tax collection they had ever done on an errand.

"Don't worry, I'm still a little careful to give it to the two of you." Zhu Chengjun endured the pain and gave the two of them ten charcoal coupons.

That's 2,000 pounds of charcoal! If the charcoal market is really fried by itself, it will definitely not be less than dozens of taels of real money.

"What is this?" Although both of them are literate, they have seen a lot of silver bills, but what is the 'charcoal coupon'? The two of them looked puzzled, and they couldn't help but be annoyed: Fooling people with paper? Bad luck!

"The two adults, please let the younger brother say carefully, this 'charcoal coupon' is a subscription voucher, you can use this coupon at any time to extract the charcoal needed for heating in the charcoal store designated below, and the 'first price' for the two adults is the 'first price', if this coupon changes hands several times, it is not the price on paper." Zhu Chengjun saw that the two of them were suspicious, and silently scolded the two turtle sons in his heart: 'The first price'? This is for you two turtles for nothing, of course, this sentence can only be suffocated in the bottom of my heart, and then said: "Please also take the time to come over and take a look later, I dare to guarantee that it will definitely bring unexpected surprises to the two!" ”

Zhu Chengjun secretly slandered himself: After taking so many benefits from Lao Tzu, it is not too much for the two of you to be extras.

With the existence of these two seemingly non-to-to-the-other stores, the two of them who often go to the store to collect taxes have long been 'familiar' with all the stores, which can better dispel people's doubts and play a great role in their own publicity.

It took a lot of time for Zhu Chengjun to invite the two plague gods out of the store, but unexpectedly, a group of pickled people were walking around the corner of the street.

Seeing this group of ruffians and hooligans, Zhu Chengjun felt depressed in his heart, and said in his heart: Next time I don't look at the yellow calendar, I won't dare to open in a hurry when I pick an auspicious day.

"Big brother, these scoundrels are coming for us." Xu Xiao clenched his fists crackling.

"Don't act rashly without me to speak." Zhu Chengjun lowered his voice and warned.

As soon as it opened, there were local ruffians and hooligans to patronize, and the opening was absolutely yellow, not to mention, if the current matter could not be properly settled, how would the business community in the county gain a foothold in the future.

Zhu Chengjun knew that he was too anxious, and there were not a few ruffians in the commercial area who were acting mischiefly with a bit of momentum. In this chaotic and dark age, who will let you do business without worshipping the docks in advance.

"Da Da ......" a carriage drove in front of the ruffians.

The pickled scoundrels no longer had the arrogance to take eight steps outside their nostrils to the sky, and when they saw the carriage not waiting for the boss to speak, they all flashed into the corner and hid, and their 'boss' seemed to run faster than anyone else.

Seeing this posture, Zhu Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: A rabble is a rabble.

"That's it? What kind of person is so majestic. Xu Xiao said enviously.

Zhu Chengjun saw that the carriage did not mean to stop, and he did not see the person riding the car show his face, which must be a coincidence.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and many people stopped to look this way.

"It's auspicious, let's get started." Zhu Chengjun asked Xu Xiao to light the firecrackers.

"Smack...... Smack......"

The firecrackers sounded, and the not-so-conspicuous shop immediately attracted everyone's attention.

There is excitement to see, and there is no shortage of onlookers at any time.

"Changxing ticket number? What kind of business is it? ”

"Grilled fish?"

"Charcoal sellers? It's not like charcoal is hard to get into this shape. ”

…………

Just when the onlookers were curious about this shop that opened without warning, the guys at the Changxing ticket number personally greeted everyone to eat grilled fish in addition to shouting, and even saved the opening congratulations.

"Delicious!"

"It's not flavorful!"

"Good!"

It was the first time that everyone knew that fish could be so delicious.

"Boss, what kind of business do you have? I don't think it's just selling grilled fish. ”

"Just rush this grilled fish, your business will definitely be good!"

…………

Suddenly, several horse-drawn carriages came at various intersections of the street, and the destination was the 'Changxing ticket number'.

"Master Zhu, business is booming."

…………

Zhu Chengjun didn't know these people, and they probably looked like peers.

"Zhu Gongzi is also in the charcoal business? What is this 'Changxing ticket number'? ”

Everyone couldn't help but be curious in their hearts, doing charcoal business and invoicing numbers are a business that can't be done with eight poles.

"You must be the leaders in the charcoal industry." Zhu Chengjun knew that these people would not join in the fun casually.

"Hey...... When the charcoal market has been falling for a long time, we are worried. ”

"We're all going to change careers, is Zhu Gongzi going against the trend?"

"Courage is commendable!"

…………

The beginning of spring is about to warm, and everyone is not optimistic about the current charcoal market.

Zhu Chengjun had an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth, and greeted the charcoal merchants in the county one by one.

"If you have goods in your hands, you may wish to deposit them with me, and I will give you a voucher below, when do you think the market will improve and then come to pick it up, and I will return it with one more percent of the finished product, you can consider it." Zhu Chengjun said very firmly.

After many years of immersion in this industry, they are all old and sophisticated, and after a short period of euphoria, several people quickly regained their composure.

Although they made a profit or a loss on this transaction, everyone always felt that this young man seemed to have found another way out for the unsalable charcoal. The crowd decided to wait and see what tricks the boy was playing.

"Dare to ask Childe how this charcoal is fired?"

Peers are enemies, and they are most concerned about each other's products.

"These are made of charcoal, and as for whether the effect is good, you can just look at the stoves that grill the fish." Zhu Chengjun deliberately let them see is believing.

Everyone is a good person, and at a glance they can see that these shapes are almost the same as those printed on a mold, and the effect is too good to say.

Zhu Chengjun secretly paid attention to a few people, and saw that their expressions were almost the same.

"It seems that your predecessors have a high opinion of this charcoal, and this charcoal made through secret methods is not only resistant to burning, but also convenient for storage and transportation. Or, send a few to the seniors to take home and have a good experience. Zhu Chengjun said briskly.

Several people secretly exchanged glances, and a deep look of vigilance flashed on their faces.

"Zhu Gongzi spent so much effort to recruit us and others, if it was just to promote your family's charcoal, there was no need. I think Zhu Gongzi is also a cheerful person. What does Zhu Gongzi want? Do you want to squeeze us out of this line with the good charcoal in your hands? "If this highly competitive new product is launched, they will definitely be more and more difficult to mix in this industry.

"On the contrary, I plan to join forces with your predecessors to build a large workshop for the production of this charcoal, and I will come up with the secret recipe, and you will be responsible for developing the sales channels, and everyone will make money together. At present, the market is in a downturn, and the production of this kind of charcoal needs raw materials. Zhu Chengjun secretly paid attention to the reactions of several people, and could see that they were all moved.

"Old and talented, please tell me more about it." The bigwigs of the charcoal industry in Zhongli County immediately stood up and made a statement.

Zhu Chengjun clapped his hands and asked Xu Xiao to pick up the stacks of thick 'charcoal coupons'.

"You buy these coupons from me for eight pieces of silver, and as for how much you can buy from me, it will be calculated according to the proportion of the coupons you subscribe. You don't have to worry, you are only responsible for production and will not compete with you for profit. Zhu Chengjun solemnly promised.

"This is obviously one or two pieces of silver, but Zhu Gongzi actually gave me eight dollars of silver, not afraid of loss?"

Everyone wondered what kind of medicine this fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man was selling in his gourd. Zhu Chengjun looked like he was holding the wisdom bead, and said in his heart: If it weren't for the purpose of pushing up the charcoal market, they would not sell each piece for one or two or five yuan.

"Everyone, this kind of coupon is bearer, you can dispose of it at will in private, and the charcoal bank will only admit the delivery in the end, you think that with the financial resources in your hands, you can swallow all the five thousand charcoal coupons, about 500,000 catties of charcoal?" Zhu Chengjun chuckled.

Speaking of which, the big guys have also reacted, they don't necessarily have to do charcoal trading, get charcoal coupons at the lowest price, as long as the market picks up and thinks that they have earned enough, why bother dealing with black charcoal, sell coupons directly, no wonder this young man opened a ticket number, dare to love this idea, high! It's really high!

"Big brother, there are people outside who want to buy charcoal." Xu Xiao walked over and whispered in Zhu Chengjun's ear.

"Tell them that if they want to buy charcoal, they will buy coupons first, and they will not bargain for one or two dollars a piece." In the eyes of several people, Zhu Chengjun's expression at this time seemed to be too lazy to deal with the customers who came to the door.

Dare to snub customers, let people rush to buy must have an advantage, in the blink of an eye the effort rose by one percent, everyone silently calculated, they made three percent gross profit in the blink of an eye!

"Wait! Eight dollars is eight dollars, and the old decay subscribes for 1,200 tickets! ”

"I'm eight hundred!"

…………

The head of the charcoal store was in a hurry, and they rushed to buy it, and 3,000 copies were sold in an instant.

Things are going smoothly far beyond Zhu Chengjun's expectations, and the remaining more than 1,000 sheets will be slowly released, and then a little hype, Zhu Chengjun firmly believes that the sluggish charcoal market will soon rise.
