Chapter 432: New Year's Companion
The big problem was solved, and Lu Fei's eyebrows stretched at this time.
"The problem of paper sales is solved, but what about books? The books in the bookstore of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce are too cheap, and the handwriting is neat, and other books cannot compete with it at all. Gu Huaisheng on the side couldn't help but ask.
"Liaodong County should have mastered a carving technique." In this regard, Xie Zhan didn't have much to do, they could only find someone to study and see if they could reproduce it.
"Why are there so many new things in Liaodong County?" The head of the Liu family muttered.
The head of his in-laws, the head of the Zhang family, began to count cooperatively, "paper books, liquor, soap, soap, various lotions, all kinds of pills, and light and warm winter clothes made of wool, goose feathers, and duck feathers......"
The head of the Liu family answered, "When Wu Ren was in Nanyang, he signed a cooperation agreement with big businessmen from all over the country, and after the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce charged a certain fee, he supplied them and made them the exclusive local sellers. Now, these new products are selling well everywhere. ”
When he said this, the head of the Liu family spoke in a sour tone, there was a person surnamed Cheng next door to them, who turned out to be a small grain merchant, went to Nanyang, and originally lost a lot of money, but then somehow, he got the blue eyes of Wu Renwu, the head of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and got the exclusive right to sell various cleaning lotions invented by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce in their local area, and now the business is booming.
Xie Zhan, Gu Huaisheng and Lu Fei were silent.
The head of the Zhang family asked tentatively, "Master Xie, as far as I know, the people of our southern region also like the soap, soap and various lotions invented by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, can we find the other party to buy some goods?" ”
Xie Zhan was extremely reluctant for the forces of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to intervene in the south, but he was also very sober.
He knew that if he stood in the way, it would only arouse the dissatisfaction of the merchants and the resentment of the people.
"If you're interested, try talking to each other. But I personally think that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is biased against the south, even if the other party is willing to supply the southland merchants, the requirements will be stricter than others, and may even put forward some conditions that we can't agree to to make it difficult for you, or even refuse you in this way. ”
Liu and Zhang, the two heads of the family, glanced at each other, and their hearts sank, what Xie Zhan said was not impossible.
Xie Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is another way. ”
The crowd looked at him.
Xie Zhan said, "We can find someone to imitate it." The fact that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has come up with so many new things and sold them so well proves that there is a market for these things, and the people need such things. ”
Shameless.
"Aren't you merchants? It is normal for businessmen to seek profits. It's better to keep things in someone else's hands, right? ”
Liu Zhang and the two heads of the family muttered in their hearts, speaking lightly, they have to be able to imitate it.
"In the beginning, it didn't matter if we almost imitated it, we just worked on it slowly. Then the price is lower than that of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and it will definitely not be sold. Xie Zhan believes that there are more smart people in the world, and Lu Songli has recruited only a handful of people.
Liu Zhang and the two heads of the family glanced at each other, in this way, then they have to postpone the introduction of products from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce? What if the people of the south are used to good things and can't look down on their imitations?
Then, Xie Zhan continued to help them solve the problem.
Gu Huaisheng sat next to him and didn't speak.
Now Gu Huaisheng has gradually agreed with what his grandfather said before, Xie Zhan's treatment of enemies is different from that of his own people. His vision is long-term, not limited to the southland, he and them, both prosperous and loss-oriented.
In the past six months, he has seen Xie Zhan's efforts. His sincerity can be seen from the fact that he took them to Nanyang and was willing to share Nanyang's profits with them.
An hour later, Xie Zhan's mouth was dry, and he finally discussed a rough solution to the existing problems, he drank a cup of tea and began to talk about his plans for next year.
"Let's talk about Zhuya Island, I went out this time and consulted a person who is proficient in farming......"
Liaodong County
Others are resting for the New Year, but Lu Desheng and Lu Songli are busy.
Lu Desheng is now the history of Pingzhou Thorn, and there are constant visitors and invitations during the Chinese New Year.
For Lu Desheng, if it is a family and friend, he will let his eldest son Lu Zhiyuan accompany him. If the county officials come to the door, they must be accompanied by their daughter Lu Songli. Lu Desheng doesn't care what others think, he just arranges it like this.
During the entertainment period, Lu Songli didn't talk much and let her father take the lead.
This is Lu Desheng's home field, he is indispensable, and he also knows that the little girl is still restricted by the identity of the Qin family's exile.
Lu Desheng treated his eldest son and married youngest daughter so differently, which surprised almost all the visitors, except for Le Guicai and other descendants.
These people, most local officials know that she is the president of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. For example, Le Guicai and other descendants knew that the vigorous development of Liaodong County depended on her design and planning, and several big gains came from her planning.
Many officials who don't know why muttered in their hearts, what does Master Lu want to do?
They also know that Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Songli are the presidents of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and the other is just the manager of the paper mill under their command, and their abilities are very different.
After all, Lu Zhiyuan, as Lu Desheng's eldest son, it is impossible for them not to pay attention to him. To be honest, compared to his father, his little sister, and even his younger brother, Lu Zhiyuan's ability is indeed not so outstanding.
But Lord Lu's way of elevating the little girl like this is still confusing.
But they are all old birds in the officialdom and won't say anything.
There are also people who can't see it and run to Tian to chew the root of their tongue.
This person is Tian's father's aunt who has five suits. Her husband, that is, Tian's cousin, is a medicinal herb merchant, in the first half of the year, Yang Wei brought back a batch of medicinal materials from the northeast, which sold very well, and then Liaodong County became famous, and the other party saw the business opportunity, so he came to Liaodong County. Later, he recognized Tian's niece, and began to sell medicinal materials back and forth between Chang'an and Liaodong County.
This time, in order to harvest a batch of medicinal herbs in late autumn, the couple stayed until early winter. After the winter, it snowed continuously in Pingzhou, and the road was not easy to walk, so the two simply stayed in Liaodong County for the New Year.
This cousin said that her father-in-law was eccentric, harsh on the eldest son, and did not give the eldest son the dignity he deserved.
Standing outside the door, in the winter, Lu Zhiyuan's sweat is about to drip down.
Lu Xiao accidentally caught a cold in the past two days, and he was a little uncomfortable, Lu Desheng was worried in his heart, and after sending off the guests, he planned to go with his eldest son to see his grandson.
Unexpectedly, hearing such a passage outside the door, Lu Desheng glanced at his eldest son, "I didn't give you the decency of your eldest son?" ”
The suppression from the bloodline made Lu Zhiyuan quickly shake his head and make a statement.
"Your second sister's dignity is earned by herself. You husband and wife are not satisfied? I want to take you, do you think you can do it? ”
Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and shook his head again.
"We want to develop Pingzhou this year, and now we have a lot of ideas, otherwise you and your daughter-in-law will also give ideas?"
Lu Desheng asked three times, which directly made Lu Zhiyuan speechless.
These questions are heart-wrenching, but they are true. Lu Zhiyuan knew that his wife and cousin were provoking his father, so he couldn't blame his father for having a poisonous mouth.
"Dad, Tian and I definitely don't have that kind of thought." Lu Zhiyuan almost swore to the sky.
Lu Desheng snorted lightly, "How to deal with this kind of ill-intentioned relative, you don't need me to teach you, right?" ”
"No, no, Dad, you can watch."
