Chapter 0010: Hibernating

The snow was still flying, and the sky was getting darker.

The Changxing ticket number has long been hung up with a sold out sign, but even so, there are still many real customers who come into the store to consult.

They are all responsible people, seeing the more and more abnormal weather, seeing that the inventory in their hands is about to be exhausted, and the long snow is a rigid demand for them. But no one can guess God's temper, so prepare some as soon as possible in case of emergency, they think it is very necessary.

Zhu Chengjun guided the customers who entered the store to the 'Datong Tan Xing' on the side, and he was happy to be idle.

Datong Carbon Bank claims to be the designated delivery point of the Changxing ticket number, and can withdraw the required physical goods with the carbon coupons issued by the Changxing ticket number. As a delivery point, you must always have the goods in your hands, only in this way can you dispel everyone's doubts about the Changxing ticket number, and Datong Carbon Bank is using practical actions to endorse the credit of the Changxing ticket number.

After the craze for subscribing to carbon coupons subsided, Datong Carbon Bank also ushered in real consumers.

The new products launched by Datong Carbon quickly won the unanimous recognition of consumers, and people believed that the current abnormal weather would not last long, and they were very rational in consumption.

Zhu Chengjun looked at the customers who walked on the street with charcoal, and roughly calculated in his heart that the operating income of the charcoal store was far less than a fraction of the income of the ticket number. Zhu Chengjun couldn't help but feel that honest business is not as quick as opportunists to make money and make more money. Still, if there are no such people who actually do business, how can there be a platform for opportunists to sell their cleverness.

As it gets darker, Datong Tan is still receiving customers who have arrived one after another, and it is not until they are told that they are sold out.

After a busy day, when I saw two large boxes full of white flowers and silver in front of me, the faces of the people who had worked hard in return couldn't help but be filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

"Report to Zhu Gongzi, Datong Charcoal sold 500 catties of barbecue charcoal today, and got eight taels of silver. The reservation order is more than 1,200 catties, and the reservation income is ...... No. "The 'temporary shopkeeper' of Datong Tanxing hung his head in shame in the end.

"How can these people be like this, they will talk empty words and give a little deposit."

"Hey...... So let's ...... Still stocked? ”

If there are more people who do this, in case they regret it afterwards, it is likely to be a fatal risk.

"Actually...... There is an advantage of forfeiture of the deposit......"

When the crowd was excited, an untimely voice sounded.

The person who spoke was one of the members of the charcoal protection team, whose name was Lu Fang.

dared to put forward different opinions when almost unanimous and important people had not yet expressed their positions, and Zhu Chengjun also thought that this person's courage was commendable. Zhu Chengjun turned to look at Lu Fang to hear his opinion, and said, "You keep talking." ”

When everyone saw Zhu Chengjun speak, they all consciously put away their presumptuousness.

Lu Fang frowned and thought for a long time, and replied with a nervous mood: "The business is all about money and goods, since you don't take a deposit, you are not afraid of losing your trust, but ...... Do you want to stock up as they say...... I listen to Zhu Gongzi. ”

Zhu Chengjun can see that this person is not the same as everyone else, has independent opinions in his heart, and is a talent worth cultivating. Zhu Chengjun intended to test him, and also intended to take this opportunity to help him establish his prestige in front of everyone, and asked half-jokingly: "If I say that fifty percent of the goods are stocked according to what they say, what do you think?" Or what do you think I'm going to stock up twice as much as they say? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and it was not difficult for everyone to understand that they were stocking up according to the fifty percent promised by the customer. Stocking up on more than twice as much as the customer's verbal promise can be risky. Only then did the people take their feet out of the quagmire of famine and cherish what they had won so hard.

Lu Fang saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, his heart was unprecedentedly nervous, and his forehead was even more cold sweat, and he finally adjusted his state slightly, and replied tremblingly: "If we stock up according to fifty percent, we don't have to have too heavy a burden, even if the customer's commitment is true, we can advance or retreat, but in this way, the customer will question our production capacity, and then affect the credibility of our carbon bank." When answering the second question, Lu Fang seemed to understand something, and he looked at Zhu Chengjun with blazing eyes, and said excitedly: "Zhu Gongzi...... Could it be that we are optimistic that our charcoal will soon become a hot commodity! ”

Zhu Chengjun was silent, and then said: "You may not have enough confidence in the products you produce, although the confidence is accumulated by success again and again, today's rush purchase is enough to show that our charcoal has been affirmed by the majority of customers." Although the weather is about to warm, people's demand for charcoal has plummeted. Since our products are good enough, we can quickly seize the market share of other major carbon merchants, we might as well take a long-term view, not just limited to the small Zhongli County. ”

"Big brother means...... Expand your business! Xu Xiao seemed to see a vast blueprint unfolding in front of him.

Zhu Chengjun shook his head and said: "The four words of expanding business are said lightly, and it is a big project to really do it." Let's first make a name for ourselves in Zhongli County, get the first foothold and then seek development, the most urgent thing at the moment is to improve the production process and establish a complete production line. ”

Zhu Chengjun's gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Lu Fang, and said: "I propose to hand over Datong Tan Bank to Lu Fang for full management, what opinions can you put forward." ”

"I ......" Lu Fang felt an extra burden on his shoulders in an instant, and he also felt that his limited ability had failed everyone's trust.

"I absolutely believe in the vision of the eldest brother, and I also believe that the Lu brothers can manage Datong Charcoal well." Xu Xiao immediately stood up to support Zhu Chengjun's proposal.

"We all listen to Zhu Gongzi." Everyone agreed.

Zhu Chengjun stood up and patted Lu Fang's shoulder, and encouraged: "Don't have too heavy a burden, remember to read and think more if there is anything you don't understand in the future, and always maintain a humble and studious attitude." ”

"The Lu side will never live up to the trust of Zhu Gongzi, and will not disappoint your brothers." The land side swore an oath on the spot.

Zhu Chengjun struck while the iron was hot, and gave guidance on the business strategy of the charcoal bank on the spot and determined the long-term development direction.

Everyone is convinced of the beautiful blueprint drawn by Zhu Chengjun, and it won't be long before they can live and work in peace and contentment.

Zhu Chengjun saw everyone's vision for a better future, and knew that he had completely rescued this group of displaced people from the abyss of suffering. The reason why so much foreshadowing was done before, in addition to establishing prestige and trust in the hearts of everyone, it was more important to help them straighten their bent spine and reshape their bones.

It is a very long process to pull the devastated and desperate people out of the predicament and then let them step by step towards self-reliance and self-reliance.

Under the haze of nearly 200 years of humiliating history of the Two Song Dynasty, the national blood has almost been wiped out from top to bottom, and everyone is willing to become obedient people. It is urgent to reshape the loose bones of the people and condense the soul of the collapsed nation.

Zhu Chengjun deliberately led them in the direction of the people, and he was moving step by step in this general direction.

The Mongol and Yuan dynasties were not far off from dominating the world, and the Chinese nation was once again ravaged by foreign invasions, and national self-confidence was further destroyed. Zhu Chengjun always firmly believes that as long as the cultural essence of the Chinese nation is still there, no matter what kind of difficulties it faces, it will eventually come out and become strong step by step, but the process is not easy. At present, although it is insignificant to do this, it is just leaving a little weak spark of self-improvement for the Chinese nation.

If the spirit of a nation is not lost, it will be completely reborn in Nirvana for another nine days.

The wind and snow did not stop this night, and the weather did not improve slightly until dawn.

Zhu Chengjun stood in the courtyard and listened to the news that Xu Xiao sent someone to inquire about it, and after a day of speculation, the charcoal on the market was close to the highest price last year. At this price, people gradually become sensible.

"In this way, the three major charcoal merchants of Lu, Lu and Xie have sold most of the carbon coupons." Through the sudden extra charcoal coupons on the market, it is not difficult for Zhu Chengjun to see that they have eaten and drunk enough.

"Big brother, we still have nearly 800 coupons in our hands, do we want to take advantage of this time to release them all, at this price we can make a profit of more than 1,800 taels of silver." In total, our income from the ticket number is more than 7,000 taels of silver, plus the operating income of the carbon bank, the profit is 10,000 taels of silver! The more Xu Xiao calculated, the more excited he became.

10,000 taels of silver is enough for more than 100 homeless people to settle down. Now there is Datong Tanxing, a machine that produces silver steadily, which is enough for everyone to spend the summer harvest season comfortably.

"Second brother, if I say that I won't give you a cent of the money earned by the Changxing ticket number, do you have any opinions." Zhu Chengjun glanced at Xu Xiao lightly. At this moment, Zhu Chengjun is no longer as approachable as before, and even makes Xu Xiao feel unfamiliar.

"Although the Changxing ticket number has a slight relationship with Datong Tanxing, this is all silver earned by the eldest brother with his personal intelligence, and it should be owned by the eldest brother personally." Xu Xiao bent down and replied respectfully.

Zhu Chengjun was very satisfied with Xu Xiao's performance, as for how to use the money, Zhu Chengjun decided to use the money as a start-up capital for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce after the situation stabilized. The Chamber of Commerce adopts a joint-stock system, absorbing available talents from this group of people, giving them a little advance shares, in order to completely tie people to their chariots.

People gather for profit, and Zhu Chengjun knows that it is impossible to control this group of people who have gathered with great difficulty in the long run with his previous grace and prestige that may be wiped out at any time. Even if it wasn't anyone else under the Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Chengjun had long planned to control them according to the collective management model of the village in the later generations, supplemented by some imperial thoughts.

In a word, I can give you what you want, provided I can take it back at any time. Only in this way can people have an absolute dependency relationship and firmly control the volatile human heart.

Zhu Chengjun stayed in the county seat for another two days, and the people who were waiting seemed to have evaporated from the world.

The sun was shining on this day, the snow was already showing signs of melting, and the charcoal market was almost back to the price that people originally bought, and the decline did not stabilize until it fell close to the lowest price of the year.

The charcoal market rises and falls, so that people holding charcoal coupons have the hesitation that they can get rich at any time and lose at any time. This huge psychological gap makes people confused.

"Big brother, are you waiting for someone?" Xu Xiao came to Zhu Chengjun's side.

"How is the situation of Datong Tan Xing these days?" Zhu Chengjun asked casually.

"It's all going well, and Lu Fang will soon be able to become a qualified shopkeeper through these few days of training." Xu Xiao replied.

Zhu Chengjun's eyes suddenly froze, and he planned to gamble, and instructed Xu Xiao: "You immediately let people slowly release all the charcoal coupons in their hands, beat the price to about one or two dollars, and then slowly take back three thousand." ”

"Ah......" Xu Xiao couldn't believe his ears, Zhu Chengjun was holding it firmly at the highest price, and now he sold it when it was close to the lowest price of the previous year, and he lowered the price and secretly took it back. This operation made Xu Xiao suddenly head and two big, and the whole head was even more foggy.

"I listen to my eldest brother." Xu Xiao answered, turned around and went to handle it.

After Xu Xiao left, Zhu Chengjun looked at the bright sunshine and said in his heart: You should make a move soon.

"Stop!" Lu Fang's high-pitched voice came into the courtyard, and then the sound of footsteps chasing me approached.

"Zhu Gongzi, this person will break in without saying a word, and the small ones can't stop him." Lu Fang protected Zhu Chengjun.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at the unkempt young man, the haze in his heart was swept away, and he waved his hand and said, "You go down and get busy, your own people." ”

Zhu Chengjun saw Shen Zeman's face excited, and stepped in to stop him, until Lu Fang walked out of the inner courtyard, and Shen Ze couldn't wait to speak.

"It's done! Twenty-five taels of silver is a thousand catties! Shen Ze was full of agitation.

After listening to Shen Ze's story, Zhu Chengjun immediately lowered his face and said: "Does the Haozhou charcoal merchant have business dealings with Yuan Bing?" ”

"Quite possibly." Shen Ze wasn't sure.

The corners of Zhu Chengjun's mouth raised slightly, and he said in his heart: Everything is fast, and many secrets can't be hidden.

"You immediately freshen up, and after assisting Xu Xiao to get things done, immediately spread the news of the 100,000 jin order you signed back to Zhongli County, and you will personally escort the first batch of goods to Haozhou, and be as high-profile as possible on the road." Zhu Chengjun caught Shen Ze's strong man on the spot, and with his shrewdness, he would definitely be able to get things done soon.
