Chapter 96: Curves Save the Country
"How does Lord Hu feel?"
Chen Cheng looked at Hu Dachang and asked with raised eyebrows.
Hu Dachang didn't have a seizure, not because he was well-cultivated, not because he couldn't beat Chen Cheng, but because Jia Yidao didn't speak. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Chen Cheng is a disciple recognized by Jia Nidao, and he is more closely related to Jia Nidao in terms of reason.
Jia Rudao didn't have a seizure, but he suddenly remembered the real person's comments. The real person explained that blessing will be about providing well-being. As for this person's behavior, whether Meng Lang or crazy or not, it doesn't matter.
He thought about the lucky generals in the play, most of them acted absurdly. It's just that in those absurdities, it brings unexpected joy.
So he decided to endure it and see what the consequences would be after Chen Cheng messed around like this.
In other words, he thought that he was already very kind to Chen Cheng. Last time, I gave him a stack of inexplicable plans, saying that I wanted to engage in the armament of the Great Song Dynasty. He is a rich and powerful minister, isn't it good to have time to make money? What is Guan Wubei doing?
Hu Dachang pressed his temper and said, "I don't feel anything." It's about the same as my previous cloth boots. ”
He's just telling the truth. He looked at Chen Cheng's strength and almost thought that these boots could fly when he wore them. As a result, that's it?
Chen Cheng was very satisfied with this evaluation, turned to Jia Yidao and said, "Teacher, since Master Hu has used it and said that it is good, then the disciple still has something to show the teacher." ”
Hu Dachang's face twitched. Where did he say that these boots are good. Isn't this trick of referring to a deer as a horse too shoddy? The court poured everyone to play the rest. In terms of this, their civil officials are the ancestors of the martial arts.
Jia Rudao heard that there was a following, so he mentioned a little interest, but as soon as he saw the things in Chen Cheng's hand, his interest disappeared.
Chen Cheng held a few pieces of paper in his hand. What kind of plan did you show him? Chen Cheng can't figure out his positioning? He's just a blessing, just a mascot. Didn't expect him to do anything. As long as he can make Jia Rudao promoted and rich.
In addition, he took a pair of broken boots, and he wanted Jia Yidao to complete any plan, is the brain of a martial arts person so simple?
Jia Rudao glanced at the content on the paper reluctantly, but couldn't help but be confused: "This, what is it?" ”
Hu Dachang was already ready for Jia Nidao to be angry, and then he was ready to help reprimand, seeing Jia Nidao's attitude, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and hurriedly glanced at what was written on the paper, but when he saw a string of numbers, he was even more puzzled.
Chen Cheng Zhengse said: "Teacher, this is the cost of the disciple to make this pair of boots from sheepskin. ”
"What do you mean by me?" Jia Rudao finally couldn't stand it anymore, frowned, and didn't want to listen to Chen Cheng's nonsense anymore.
Chen Cheng said: "Teacher, please listen to the detailed explanation of the disciple, there is something else in it. Mr. Hu had tried these boots just now, and he thought they were as comfortable as his original cloth boots.
"And boots have three other benefits. The first is that the soles of leather boots are made of hard cowhide, which is quite hard, even if you step on gravel.
"The second is that leather boots are more durable than cloth boots, and a pair of leather boots can travel longer miles and wear longer than cloth boots.
"Third, an elegant person like Lord Hu may not feel it. That is, leather boots do not smell like they are worn on the feet. For those with smelly feet, it's also a boon. ”
Hu Dachang heard this, and his face looked a little better: "In this way, these leather boots are indeed of some use." ”
The reason why he said that it was useful was not very good. Or is it that none of the above is half attractive to him, and it is even more meaningless to Jia Yidao. Rich people like them, who rarely walk, and who are not poor for money, do not need to wear leather boots.
But this time, Jia Rudao seemed to have some thoughts wandering in his mind, although he hadn't caught it for the time being, but he still said, "Go on." ”
Chen Cheng said again: "How much is Lord Hu's pair of cloud brocade boots worth? This is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, and the worse cloth boots are afraid that even the comfort is not as good as the leather boots.
"As for the cost of leather boots, the teacher, please see the disciple's list, this is the cost that the disciple is trying to make, and the mass production will only reduce most of it.
And this set of boot-making technology is original for the disciple, and now the disciple is dedicated to the teacher, and only the teacher is unique to the whole world. Teacher, you can imagine how much wealth such a set of craftsmanship can bring. ”
Jia Rudao finally didn't listen anymore, but asked: "Wanli, you mean that you want to dedicate this craft to me?" ”
Chen Cheng smiled, scratched his head and said, "Teacher, the disciple is a martial artist, and his mind is not so active. I can't tell a lie. The disciple did dedicate this craft to the teacher, but he also had a little selfishness. ”
Jia Rudao smiled kindly: "What selfishness do you have, let's hear about it?" ”
Chen Cheng was even more embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before saying, "The disciple wants to make half a profit." ”
Jia Rudao smiled and said to Hu Dachang: "I just said that you are the right-hand man of this official." Thousands of miles, how bad it sounds to say half a percent, wouldn't it be better to be a straight one. ”
Chen Cheng was overjoyed: "Thank you for your success." ”
Jia Yidao asked again: "Then do you have a strategy for how to manage this business?" ”
Chen Cheng thought for a while: "The overall strategy, the disciple doesn't know how to do business, so he doesn't dare to speak lightly. However, the disciple has several means. ”
Seeing Jia Rudao's head, Chen Cheng continued: "First, there is something good at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom." The disciples rushed to make a batch of samples as soon as possible, and the teacher, Master Hu, and the senior officials of the court and the central government who the teacher trusted wore these leather boots in front of people. I think that such a trend will soon arise in the capital. At that time, it will become popular and become a big seller.
"Second, in addition to men's boots, the disciple also has several women's boots. Two days later, the disciple sent the sample, and the teacher could let the teacher try it. If the wife likes it, from the perspective of the mother, it means that the ladies in Lin'an City like it.
"Third, ask the teacher to draw a unique graphic as a sign to prevent people from counterfeiting ......"
"I paint?" Jia Rudao hesitated, he was okay with handwriting, but he couldn't do it at all.
Chen Cheng looked at Hu Dachang: "Master Hu is a good Danqing player, and he can do it if he wants to." ”
Jia Rudao looked at Hu Dachang, nodded and said, "Yes, Dachang's painting skills are extraordinary." The two of you will look at a pattern and show it to me. ”
Hu Dachang was overjoyed, he knew that Jia Rudao said this, and he could be regarded as a shareholder in this transaction. couldn't help but boast in his heart that Chen Cheng would be a man, and the previous "humiliation" of Chen Cheng forcing him to change his shoes had long been swept away.
Chen Cheng responded and said: "Then I just said that my lord is afraid that he will arrange someone to sweep up the imitations on the market, and once he is caught, he will be severely punished." Finally, adults should also take care of ordinary people. After all, there are more ordinary people, and there is a greater possibility of buying shoes. ”
Hu Dachang asked, "Does Mr. Chen want us to wear the same boots as the people?" There was no questioning in his tone, after all, he had only gotten good. But he did think that they were noble people, and how could they wear the same clothes as the people.
Chen Cheng waved his hand: "Of course not, so we need to make two series." A high-end brand, I don't read much, so I named it 'Hanging Sky'. A low-end brand, I was originally from the rivers and lakes, so I named it 'Beiming'. ”
Jia Rudao bowed: "The former is talking about Peng, and the latter is talking about Kun." Yes, you can. ”
Chen Chenghan smiled: "Let the teacher see and laugh." In fact, the disciple thought that the biggest advantage of these boots is that the soles are hard, which meets the needs of the people of the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the disciple is also preparing to carry out a special marketing method for the Jianghu people. ”
The words were strange, but Jia Rudao could barely understand them, and he said, "Let's talk about it." ”
Chen Cheng said: "I have a way to kill two birds with one stone. Originally, I thought that the teacher needed to encircle the people in the rivers and lakes, so why not set up a martial arts school to teach these martial arts people to be loyal and patriotic. It can not only gather a group of useful talents, but also prove to the government and the opposition that adults are the will of the people. ”
"People's Popularity!" Hu Dachang exclaimed in surprise and looked at Jia Rudao.
Chen Cheng smiled: "It's still Lord Hu who knows how to use words." ”
Jia Rudao is greedy for money and power. The word was very tempting to him. He couldn't stop nodding: "Not bad, not bad." Wanli, this method is good. ”
Chen Cheng also said: "These people entered the school funded by the imperial court, but in the end, their essence was equivalent to the teacher's personal soldiers. ”
Jia Rudao raised his eyebrows, revealing the brilliance of ambition.
Hu Dachang asked: "What does this have to do with what you said about selling leather boots?" ”
Chen Cheng said: "Yes, adults can let the Jianghu people in the school wear leather boots, and the account is the court knot, and the things they buy are adults." It's just the small head. The big head is that the world's martial arts all follow suit. ”
Jia Rudao clapped his hands: "Okay." I can't imagine that Wanli has such an economic talent, and he is worthy of being the official's Wanliju. You are familiar with this martial arts thing, so you will prepare it. ”
"Yes." Chen Cheng clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
