Shen Ze is a workaholic, even if he eats, he holds an official document in his hand.

His subordinates are diligent and dedicated, have strong work ability, and are also shrewd, where to find such good employees.

The programmatic document drafted by Zhu Chengjun does not have a lot of words, and it doesn't take much time to read it.

Shen Zeyi raised his hand to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "The owner is preparing for a joint operation?" ”

Shen Ze's joint operation is talking about the salt project.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, salt has been monopolized, and the profits from operating salt are huge, so the ruling group of any dynasty has followed this system. The price and quality of salt have always been controlled by the ruling authorities, the purpose of which is to monopolize taxes and increase fiscal revenues.

Salt is a mineral resource, and in the era of private land, whoever has salt mines underground is equivalent to sitting on a mountain of gold. Of course, the illegal mining of salt mines is expressly prohibited by law, and once caught by the government, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat, and in the context of such an era, salt introduction is particularly important, which is a franchise of the monopoly industry.

Zhu Chengjun nodded and said, "You mean we operate exclusively?" ”

When the Fang family holds the salt in hand, even if they are willing to give profits, they will also give it to people who have incense and in-laws with the Fang family, and if others want to come up and get a piece of the pie, there are only two words, no way!

Salt is a heavy profit, and the Fang family is engaged in alliance and monopoly operation, Zhu Chengjun can't imagine what amazing wealth the Fang family has accumulated over the years with this convenience. Although the power to set the price of salt is in the hands of the authorities, the production and processing technology of salt has long been known, and it is not difficult to produce salt of the same quality as the official one. Private salt can meet the process standards of official salt, and under the protection of salt introduction, private salt and official salt are mixed and sold, and the profits that can be grabbed can be imagined.

Shen Ze frowned and pondered, the benefits of exclusive operation were obvious at a glance, and Shen Ze knew that with Zhu Chengjun's current strength, he could eat all the benefits in his stomach with the strength of his family.

At present, Shen Ze saw that Zhu Chengjun actually chose to operate jointly with unrelated people, and he really felt extremely puzzled, so he bowed down and asked for instructions: "The subordinates are stupid, and please ask the owner to make it clear." ”

Zhu Chengjun did not explain, but asked a digression: "What happened to the Fang family?" ”

The Fang family's case had been in full swing before he came, and Shen Ze knew that Zhu Chengjun was not asking him what kind of punishment the Fang family would receive, but asking him to think about why the Fang family ended up like this.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and said in a trembling voice: "A family exclusive bonus is the most likely to be hated, and the owner suspects that the Fang family's imprisonment is not just as simple as a backer, but a ......" Shen Ze has long heard that the water in the business of transporting and selling salt is not only deep but also dark.

If you want to say what kind of business is the easiest to make money and easy to make money, it is not a monopoly industry, and these industries do not have to worry about people engaging in vicious competition. Merchants who can obtain the right to operate monopoly industries have a very close relationship with the authorities and governments at all levels, and many businessmen are turned away from the door just because of the threshold of connections.

Zhu Chengjun saw a cold sweat on Shen Ze's forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Do you dare to think of one person enjoying all the benefits alone?" Although I would lose a large part of my profits by doing so, I would not be on the opposite side of those merchants who were willing to deal in salt. Besides, I didn't intend to make money on salt at all, but to make it easier for the merchants of this county to be happy. ”

This world has never been about having more friends and having more roads, but about having more friends who have opened the road well.

Hearing this, Shen Ze once again admired Zhu Chengjun's boldness and big picture, even so, the worries in Shen Ze's heart did not diminish at all, and he said in a deep voice: "The owner has twisted all the merchants in this county into a rope, lest the government be suspicious." ”

Zhu Chengjun didn't care, and said: "There are all words about the old man who beats iron, and the county official who runs water." Most of the people in power are looking forward to glory, and they will be willing to stay in one place for the rest of their lives? ”

In ancient times, the imperial power was not lower than that of the county, and whether the decree of the chief official of a county could be reached had to pass through the gate of the landlord and gentry. "The proprietor is right." The worries in Shen Ze's heart were instantly swept away.

Zhu Chengjun handed over the drafted programmatic documents to Shen Ze and instructed: "You find someone to get out all kinds of agreement documents overnight according to my wishes, and I will use them tomorrow." ”

"The owner can rest assured that his subordinates will live up to their mission." Shen Ze praised his promise to Haikou, and then remembered the book club that Zhu Chengjun asked him to build, and then said: "According to the owner's intentions, the Qiming Book Club has been prepared and will open in a few days." ”

Zhu Chengjun bowed his head lightly and said: "Don't slack off those who don't make a move, but don't be too good to them. ”

"Yes." Shen Ze knew that there were many capable people in all aspects among these unsuccessful people, and sometimes he couldn't help but sigh, since he couldn't take the exam, there was no hope of becoming an official, why not change careers and do something else earlier, wasting all his talents.

Zhu Chengjun looked at the sky, and his reading time was about to come.

After Shen Ze left, Zhu Chengjun came to the study on time for the first time after bathing under Luan'er's service.

With the salt and iron franchise in hand, it is not difficult for the group of merchants in Zhongli County to deal with Bai Ping, and the rest are the squires who can most influence the speech of a county, as long as they shine in this state test, it will be more convenient to deal with the scholars in this county.

If all this can be successfully achieved, it will not be far from establishing its own influence in Zhongli County.

In this regard, Zhu Chengjun has absolute confidence.

The next day, Zhu Chengjun took a car to the Changxing ticket number.

As soon as I got out of the car, the heads of the county's business community rushed forward to compliment them.

Facing the crowd, Zhu Chengjun also greeted him with a smile.

Coming to the backyard, Zhu Chengjun instructed Shen Ze to bring in businessmen from the county in batches to talk.

The first group were small traders and hawkers who were not doing well and were forced to go to other places to earn a living.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at these people, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I heard that you have the idea of going to a foreign country, but I don't know where you are going to make a fortune in the future, and what are you going to do?" ”

"Alas......" The small traders looked bitter, sighed, and complained about the difficulty of making a living.

When they were about to leave Zhongli County, Shen Ze approached them and said that he had a fortune plan to share with them. Chong Zhu Chengjun suddenly became famous in the business community of the county, and he stayed without much thought.

Everyone looked at each other, and the businessman surnamed Wu led by him stood up at Zhu Chengjun and said: "It took Zhu Gongzi less than a month to occupy a place in the business community of Zhongli County. I heard that the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce established by Zhu Gongzi is about to win the world, and most of the people here are either Huizhou people, or I don't know if Zhu Gongzi is willing to give me a chance to climb high. ”

Zhu Chengjun bowed his head and said: "The joining of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce is not limited to origin, as long as you are willing to support the purpose of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, of course, we will open the door to welcome the world's heroes to join." ”

With Zhu Chengjun's promise, the people present no longer hesitated and actively asked to join.

Seeing everyone's statement, Zhu Chengjun immediately asked Shen Ze to read out the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce franchise agreement.

The Huizhou Chamber of Commerce wants to bring everyone together to do business in the world, as long as they join the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, they can communicate with each other in this circle, fund raising, and supply information...... It's going to be easier and more convenient, and there are a lot of benefits. The only thing that made them a little difficult to accept was that the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce had to occupy more than one-fifth of their 'shares' when they made a name. The joint-stock cooperative system first originated from the Jin merchants, and this historical period has not yet appeared. Although this kind of cooperation is unfamiliar to them, it is not difficult for everyone to understand through Zhu Chengjun's explanation.

Zhu Chengjun was not surprised to see that everyone seemed to be unable to make up their minds, and patiently explained to them: "Everyone can see the convenience that you can get by joining the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce can provide you with low-interest loans as your start-up capital, and it is acceptable for everyone to occupy the corresponding shares in the early stage, and it is so difficult to accept about one-fifth of your shares after exiting in the later stage?" Zhu Chengjun glanced at everyone, and then said: "You have been in business for many years, but it has been difficult to develop and grow, what is the reason? It's just that you are all fighting alone with the strength of one family, as the saying goes, one fence has three piles, and one hero has three gangs. Once a person is in trouble, and he looks at it without relatives, do you still expect to make a comeback? As long as you join, the organization will lend a helping hand to build a bridge for you to cross the river in your most difficult time, and this kindness is not worth a fifty-fifty share? ”

If the Chamber of Commerce can really develop, everyone here will become the veteran figures of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, this status cannot be exchanged for any amount of money, and it is definitely a lie to say that it is not impressed.

Zhu Chengjun felt a little disappointed when he saw that everyone was moved but it was difficult to make up his mind, and said: "It is all up to your personal wishes to join or not, you also need time to think about it, and it is not easy to be reluctant in the future." ”

Shen Ze glanced at the whispering crowd, and said loudly: "The stakes are very high, you also need time to think about it, our host's commitment has always been there, and the door of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce will always be open for everyone." There are still guests in the host's house, so let's go back first, we will have a chance to talk about it in the future, and I believe there is also a chance. ”

"I heard that Datong Charcoal is going to open up charcoal markets in other states and counties, is this serious?"

The brilliant performance of Datong Carbon has long been concerned by everyone, and it can quickly occupy the charcoal industry in Zhongli County with its new charcoal products when the market is in a downturn. Shen Ze revealed to them according to Zhu Chengjun's intention that Datong Charcoal is willing to come up with the secret recipe for the production of new charcoal and cooperate with everyone.

Zhu Chengjun signaled to Lu Fang, and Lu Fang stood up and said, "This matter cannot be faked!" If you want to understand the details of Datong Carbon, you can come to me afterwards, but Zhu Gongzi said that he must first join the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce to have the qualification to join Datong Carbon. ”

"I intend to switch to the charcoal industry, since Datong Charcoal is so generous...... I've decided, join the Chamber of Commerce! ”

"I've decided!"

…………

Seeing someone say something, Shen Ze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this is a good start.

Seeing the commotion in the backyard hall, Shen Ze stepped forward to stop the excited people and shouted: "Everyone, please follow the shopkeeper Lu to Datong Tanxing to learn about the joining, and the big boss will also meet the guests." ”

After the hustle and bustle subsided, Zhu Chengjun met with the second group of guests.

Zhu Chengjun knew that this group of people was determined to take a piece of the table salt, when this group of people walked in, Zhu Chengjun did not let them sit down and did not speak, so he left people dry, and tasted tea by himself, and the corner of his eyes swept over everyone from time to time, seeing that they were all impatient, they only felt that it was so good, at least they had due awe for themselves, and Zhu Chengjun wanted this attitude of theirs.

These people are all well-known figures in the business community of Zhongli County, as long as they are subdued, their position in the business community of a county will be completely stable.
