Chu Fan is inviting guests to eat and drink every day, while preparing for the opening of Soho Nanjing store, and this new project is about to become the latest fashion in Nanjing.

"Crackling, crackling." The sound of firecrackers, the lion dance, Chufan's latest industry "Soho Yingtian store." "It's officially opened.

In order to adapt to the taste of southerners, Chu Fan changed the traditional business model of hot pot barbecue with beer, and changed to the way of stir-frying seafood, grilled seafood and beer, people in this era did not know the pathology of gout, so no one doubted that if they ate too much of this thing, their feet would hurt.

Just like the model of Liaodong and Beijing, it has been welcomed in Nanjing, although it is quite profitable, but Shen Wenlin has not thought about what impact Chu Fan's arrival will have on him, just a wine shop, how can it affect the huge industry of the Shen family?

However, the next thing made Shen Wenlin know what business is.

After the opening of Soho Yingtian store, business is as good as ever, and there is an endless stream of customers every day. But on this day, a notice was posted on the door of the liquor store.

"Our store is temporarily closed for individual customers today."

And almost at the same time, all the wealthy merchants in Nanjing received a letter from Chu Fan, inviting them to a banquet in Soho tonight.

The household department is in charge of industry and commerce, although Chu Fan is only a five-grade langzhong in the household department, but no matter what, he is also a first-class official, for businessmen, the household officials invite themselves, that is a great face, and it is to gather in Chu Fan's Soho wine shop without any absence.

To the surprise of the rich merchants, they did not come here today to eat or drink, but to wash their feet.

As soon as you enter the door, don't say anything, come on, sit down, take off your boots, take off your socks, come on, soak in.

A group of maids ushered the guests into their seats and began to wash their feet.

Everyone has washed their feet, but no one has ever felt such a foot wash.

Even Boss Liu, who has seen the world, is the first time today.

The maids helped the guest officer rub his feet in the wooden barrel while chatting with the guests.

"Guest, is the water hot?"

"Guest officer, you look so young, you are so rich at such a young age, it's amazing."

After washing the feet, the maids lifted the guests' trouser legs and massaged the guests.

"Ah, that's comfortable."

"This is good, girl, you work harder, mmmmmmmm

While everyone was lying on the chairs enjoying themselves, Chu Fan walked up from the backstage.

"Hello everyone, everyone, Chu Fan has seen the courtesy." As he spoke, he arched his hands and turned half a circle back and forth.

"Since the opening of the Soho Wine Shop, thanks to everyone's appreciation, business is booming, and there are many customers, I think everyone should have been here."

"Chu is not talented, he came up with such a way to operate, but he didn't want to respond to your liking."

"Today, I would like to invite you to experience Chu's newly created service, I don't know how you feel?"

Shen Wenlin took the lead and said: "Boss Chu, this is good, I have washed my feet at home all my life, and I have never been so comfortable, what a good livelihood, Boss Chu has a good vision." ”

"Boss Shen is right, Chu is here in Nanjing, thanks to your care, there is nothing else, I just want to make friends with everyone."

"Boss Chu rest assured, it's so comfortable, if you open a new store in the future, your brothers will definitely come often in the future, and the business will naturally take care of it." Boss Liu enjoyed the fluttering fairy today, and as soon as he soaked in the hot water, he felt that people were about to fly.

"No, no, no, since Chu wants to make friends with everyone, how can he make money alone, naturally he wants to make money with everyone."

What kind of person is Shen Wenlin, who has been in business for generations, as soon as he heard that there was a business opportunity, he immediately stretched his neck and shouted: "Boss Chu is going to join forces?" Then you must be with me, ask for money for money, ask people for people. ”

This is true, if this should be Tianfu to find someone to cooperate in business, the Shen family must be the best choice, the family is big, involving all industries, and there are people and money.

Chu Fan laughed and said, "Of course it's best to cooperate with Boss Shen, but what about other bosses?" They are all friends, and the palms and backs of their hands are all meat, how can I, Chu, favor one over the other? ”

"What then? Do you have to choose one? Shen Wenlin was a little anxious, for fear that Chu Fan would not choose himself.

After all, he had heard of Chu Fan's performance in Beijing, and this Soho wine shop was also doing well in Nanjing, and he had money to make, how could he let it go?

Chu Fan arched his hand again and said, "Chu wants to take everyone to do it together." ”

"Do it together?"

The wealthy businessmen began to talk to each other, what did they do together? Why didn't you understand?

"Everyone, be quiet, Chu Mou will talk about his plans, and it will not be too late for you to discuss it."

"Shhhh

"Bosses, Chu is going to open a joint-stock company and take you to play together."

"Joint-stock system? What's that? Firm? What is it? "Then we started talking to each other again.

"Ahem, ahem, listen to me first. The so-called joint-stock system, simply put, is that everyone contributes money to do business together, and everyone shares the money when they make money. ”

"Boss Chu, then tell me more specifically." Shen Wenlin had the highest status among the wealthy businessmen in Nanjing, and as soon as he spoke, everyone immediately stopped the discussion and waited for Chu Fan's introduction.

"Chu's plan is like this, you may know that I have bought a piece of land in the southernmost part of the Qinhuai River, about 10 acres of land, I am going to open a heavenly and earthly life museum, the museum has a wine shop, a Chinese restaurant, a shabu-shabu hall, a barbecue area, a interpretation hall, a teaching workshop, a foot bathing hall, a bathing pool, as well as a coat shop, a shoe store, a cloth shop, a carriage shop, and then a high-end residential area will be launched, and all the scale will be the largest in Yingtian, or even the largest in the country, I will call this - comprehensive commercial body.

"Boss Chu, do you put so many businesses together? Do you guarantee that every store has such a good business? ”

Chu Fan said with a smile: "If you believe me, and you can invest a little less money to try, or wait and see, wait and see, don't worry, because the project is too big, I will be divided into three phases of development, and there will be investment opportunities in the future." ”

Obviously, Shen Wenlin was very interested in this, got up from the chair and said, "Boss Chu, then I want to ask, who will run it?" With such a big industry, you can't manage it alone, right? ”

"Boss Shen asked well, Chu was about to say this, if the company is established, I will set up a council composed of investment shareholders in accordance with the proportion of investment, and the council will vote on the company's major business activities, and then hire a professional manager and a professional management team, specifically responsible for the operation, the council will supervise the operation of the manager, and the manager and his team will regularly report to the council on the business status."

Shen Wenlin is worthy of being the richest businessman, and he quickly had an abstract concept of the new business model, and thought of the question: "That is to say, if we participate, we only have to pay for it, and we don't need to operate it specifically, but it is run by hired people, so what if this person harms the public and private interests and harms everyone?" ”

"Boss Shen, Chu has already thought about this, and each shareholder will arrange a cronie to join the management team, operate together, supervise each other, and restrain each other, and will launch a complete set of financial and purchase, sale and inventory systems, and do a good job of accounts for the council to consult at any time. for

Chu Fan saw that everyone seemed to understand a little, so he continued: "In view of the first time to cooperate with everyone, Chu will invest seventy percent in the first phase, and leave the remaining thirty percent to you, everyone will try the water first, if you think it is good, we will continue to talk in the second phase." In the first phase, Chu plans to expand the area on the basis of the current Soho wine shop, divided into Chinese restaurants, barbecue areas, shabu-shabu restaurants and interpretation halls, mergers and acquisitions of Xiaoxiang Building, the first phase of my estimated total investment of 80,000 taels of silver, converted into shares is 80,000 shares, this time I first invested sixty percent, and the rest was sold to the present at the price of one or two silver per share, and then distributed dividends to everyone according to the number of shares held every year according to the profitability. ”。

"Then there are more than 40,000 shares left, and I bought them all by myself."

In the corner, a young man in a horse coat suddenly stood up.

"Yo, isn't this Li Guangjin Boss Li of Li Ji Car Dealership? It's really the true inheritance of your ancestors, and you play everything so ruthlessly? Don't you leave a little bit for everyone? Shen Wenlin was obviously a little unhappy with this person, and sarcastically said to the young man.

The Shen family in Nanjing can be said to be involved in all walks of life, but this carriage shop, has not been able to drive, is because Li Ji car shop with excellent technology and good reputation, to occupy the market, not only with the Shen family to fight a product war, but also to fight a price war, to the end, and finally forced Shen Wenlin had to withdraw from the carriage market, so the two have always been at odds, the old man of the Li family suddenly fell ill and drove west, and the huge family business was left to the eldest young master, who has followed his father to engage in the carriage business for many years. I wanted to make a breakthrough for a long time, but when I heard Chu Fan say this, the young man's passion was instantly stimulated, and he immediately wanted to invest all his family business.

Chu Fan walked to the middle of the field and said to Li Guangjin: "Boss Li, such a large share, you eat alone, aren't you afraid that I will lose it to you?" ”

"Boss Chu, your means of doing business, my younger brother has seen it, I have also heard of the Soho wine shop in the capital, I believe you can do a good job, and besides, you don't want to drive a carriage shop, I'm afraid that if you don't take me to play, my carriage shop won't be able to drive."

Although Li Guangjin is young, he has a long-term view of the problem, if Shen Wenlin may not have played with his family in the carriage world, but this Boss Chu, it is said that the family business is not small than the Shen family, if he runs with so many rich people and competes with himself, it is not a joke, it is preconceived, get in the car first.

"What Boss Li said is not right, then I have a stake in you, and you also want to open a cloth shop, won't my family's original cloth shop compete with you? Then I didn't shoot myself in the foot with a stone? Boss Liu Yuanpei of Liu Ji Bu expressed his concerns.

"Boss Liu, what's there to worry about this? If you are a shareholder of the company, we will naturally give priority to your cloth to sell, think about it, if we sell well, your cloth factory business is not better? You're making money at both ends.

"Boss Chu, how much do you want to invest in the second phase?"

"At present, there is only a preliminary plan for the second phase, and I have roughly calculated that it will cost about 200,000 taels." Chu Fan was very happy, and the more he asked, the more interested they became.

Shen Wenlin took a sip of tea and continued to ask: "Then you might as well do it together in the first and second phases, and sell a little more shares to everyone, otherwise let Boss Li eat alone, wouldn't everyone be jealous."

Portion? ”

Chu Fan didn't expect these people to be so interested at first, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on your investment intentions, if you really want to invest, the second phase is not impossible to do together, but there is a problem, I want to make it clear, I plan to only cooperate with the bosses in the first phase, and I am ready to let the people invest in the second phase, one, two, two, two and two are not too little, ten or two or eight are not too much, as long as you want to buy shares, you can come and buy them, can you agree?" ”

"Ordinary people can also buy it? Give them a share of the money they earn? ”

Chu Fan arched his hand towards the north and said: "Don't forget, although I am a businessman, I am also a household Langzhong, I am blessed by the emperor's grace, since I have come to Nanjing, I have to do something for the people, so that the people can also make some money, isn't our business also better?" When the people are rich, someone will come to spend money. ”

Li Guangjin took over and said: "Boss Chu is right, we are in business, we must be able to raise the market, only you have money, the people have no money, who do you sell your things to?" I thought about it, Boss Chu, you are a comprehensive business entity, and I will be the first to invest in it.

Chu Fan smiled and said, "It's rare for Boss Li to show love, but what about other bosses?" ”

"Do it, what are you afraid of? As long as Boss Shen dares to vote, we will dare. ”

"Yes, as long as Boss Shen dares to do it, we will follow it, and we can't lose anything."

"Boss Shen, do you want to vote or not? If you want to vote, I can vote with you. ”

The scene suddenly became enthusiastic, but he saw Shen Wenlin stand up and arched his hand to the audience: "Thanks to everyone's trust, I feel that Boss Chu's idea is very insightful, and Shen is willing to cooperate with Boss Chu." ”

"Qiao Feng, come, paste the shareholding agreement on the door, discuss it with the bosses, enter more and enter less according to everyone's opinions, the bosses can buy as much as they want, and post a notice at the door if they can't sell out, sell it to the people, and if it hasn't been sold out after 30 days, we will buy it ourselves."

In one morning, Chu Fan completed the establishment of the financing system of A shares and B shares, which fully proved the particularity of Nanjing as an important commercial town in the Ming Dynasty.

After nearly a month of agreement signing, shareholding procedures, stock distribution, etc., Qiao Feng reported the share investment to Chu Fan.

The total number of shares is 300,000 shares, and the total investment is 300,000 taels of silver, of which Chu Fan's investment is 21,000 taels, Shen Wenlin's shares are 13,000 taels, Li Guangjin of Li Ji Automobile Dealership and Boss Liu of Liu Ji Bu Co., Ltd. each have 5,000 taels, and the remaining 33 bosses have a total of 50,320 taels of shares, and the remaining shares are all retailed out, and they are sold out in three days.

Because the richest man Shen Wenlin is actively investing, the city's merchants and ordinary people are actively following the shares, and Chu Fan's policy is also very good, merchants can pay dividends every year, and if you don't want to continue to do it, you can find Chu Fan to cash in at the beginning of the second year with stocks, Chu Fan calls it an incentive share, and the people buy it, in addition to dividends, you can also exchange it for silver with a ticket at any time, and you can also trade freely with others, Chu Fan calls it a tradable share, so the enthusiasm for buying is unprecedentedly high, and it is difficult to find a ticket for tradable shares.

The inaugural meeting of the company was held in Soho Wine Store, with Chu Fan as the chairman of the council, Shen Wenlin as the vice president, Qiao Feng as the executive manager, and Shen Wei, the daughter of Shen Wenlin

It consists of four departments, including the sales department, the management department, the production department, and the account room, which are respectively ministered by the cronies of major shareholders such as Li Guangjin and Boss Chen

"Very good, hurry up and start construction, I'm going to Liaodong to pick up my wife."

After that, Chu Fan took Liu Erli and began to march north.

Time passed quickly, and when he returned to Liaodong, he saw his daughter Chu Pingping, the child was more than a year old, and he learned to call his father and mother, and he could also run all over the ground, the little daughter was well-behaved and cute, and Chu Fan liked it, holding his daughter every day, either in his arms or on his shoulders, enjoying the joy of family.

At this time, the new Liaodong Iron Cavalry General has also arrived, the new Chief Soldier Ma Gui, the former Shanxi General Soldier, succeeded Chu Fan this time, in fact, he didn't want to come, because the second wave army has been beaten by Chu Fan There is not much left, and coming here is equivalent to having no money to make and no merit to make.

But he also came, he couldn't work if he didn't work, he couldn't do it along Chu Fan's path, he didn't have his own characteristics, no matter how good he was, others would say that it was Chu Fan's achievement, so the first thing Ma Gui did was to shuffle the cards.

He transferred the Chinese army under the command of Zha Dashou and Yang Yuan's left army, and in order to directly lead Li Rusong, Zhang Shixun's right army was changed to Li Rubai's direct subordinate, and Zhang Shixun was responsible for managing the twine battalion, the foreign weapons battalion and the Huotou army.

North Korea, on the other hand, has fallen into crisis again.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was teased and very angry, and after several months of preparation, he sent more than 400,000 Polish troops to cross the sea again and attack Korea, and due to internal strife in Korea, Yi Sunsin was dismissed from his post and replaced by Kim Jihu as the commander of the navy.

In desperation, North Korea asked Wanli for help, and Wanli replied with a letter: It is advisable to defend oneself and not to rely on the Celestial Empire.

It means that I have helped you fight many times in Poland for a year, and if you don't pay money or give food, how can I help you fight? Find a way to solve it yourself, don't bother me all the time.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty court finally officially sent a note to North Korea to find Ran Xingrang and Zhu Yiling.

But after all, it is its own subject country, no matter what it seems, in order to appease North Korea, Ma Zongbing was finally sent to North Korea, but this time, the imperial court only allowed 5,000 troops.

However, the instructions given to him by the imperial court were very lenient: fight and fight, and if you don't fight, you won't fight.

The unlucky ghost Ma Gui reluctantly took more than 5,000 soldiers and embarked on the road to North Korea, to tell the truth, 5,000 people are in North Korea, then they are not going to fight, they are simply guerrillas.
