XXXV. Naturalization
Everyone was talking happily, and Cheng Sifang remembered the happy days when he was with everyone, and couldn't help but feel something and sighed.
Zhang Fei asked: "Little Brother Cheng, everyone is happy, what are you sighing for?" Cheng Sifang hurriedly said: "Ah, I'm sorry, I just remembered some things from before." ”
Guan Yu said: "When we were at the city gate, we heard you say that you were a businessman, why are you so down?" Cheng Sifang only felt that these people were not like the ones he had seen before, and he didn't seem to have any prejudices against merchants, so he said word for word how he got out of the mountains, how he met Xiao Zhihan, how he did business in Yecheng, and how he was forced to disband the caravan. Liu Bei and others really have no prejudice against businessmen, because Mi Zhu is a big businessman.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he said angrily: "It's Cao Apu again!" Liu Bei said: "I didn't expect that Brother Cheng would experience so many things at such a young age." Mi Zhu said: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, since the little brother Cheng has come to Jingzhou, with your wisdom and talent, you will be able to make a comeback, why do you need to be sad about the past?"
Cheng Sifang said: "It's just that I am a lost person, and a lost person is not qualified to do business." Liu Bei smiled: "This couldn't be simpler, the world is in chaos, and the people who are divided are in charge of their own affairs, and you can compile you into my household registration here." At that time, Liu Bei was appointed by Liu Biao as the new wild herd, and he had the authority to compile the displaced people into the household register. When Liu Bei said this, he felt ashamed in his heart, as the uncle of the Han Dynasty and a descendant of the royal family, he could only watch the Han family fall to this point today and was powerless to recover.
Cheng Sifang heard this, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Great! If Xuande Gong can do this, then I can do business justifiably!" Guan Yu Zhengse said: "Little brother Cheng, I think you are also a shrewd person, I said ahead, when you are in business, if you are greedy for huge profits and ignore the people, don't blame Guan for being ruthless." Cheng Sifang smiled, the downstairs of this restaurant is the bazaar, and the grain merchants in the bazaar are doing business, and they all shouted: "There is no sharp business!" and asked: "Do you know that the grain merchants in the market now, why do they have to fight to make profits, and there is no sharp business?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Cheng Quartet said: "This slogan is the slogan that Cheng Quartet shouted when he was in Runan, whether you believe it or not, but I am very happy to be able to spread it here." When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, and there were more and more people who came into the bazaar, and they didn't know which kind businessman started from, but they didn't expect it to be this stone to fight Baili into the Quartet!
The businessman who can shout this slogan must not be a profiteer, although the grain at the tip of the bucket is small, the cumulative amount is also very amazing, which Mi Zhu knows best, so Mi Zhu's admiration for Cheng Quartet arises spontaneously, and he arched his hand and said: "Cheng Boss has such a mind to do business, Mi Zhu admires." ”
Liu Bei said: "It is also the blessing of the people to be able to become a boss, if all the businessmen in the world are like a boss, it would be better." Guan Yu said coldly: "Hmph, how many businessmen in the world can be like Mr. Mi and Boss Cheng? ”
Liu Bei said: "In this way, Boss Cheng will go to Xinye with me, I will compile you into the household registration and send you to the calf, from now on you will no longer be a person who has lost your nationality, I will say a favor to Brother Jingsheng and allow you to do business in the land of Jingxiang." Cheng Quartet was overjoyed: "Thank you Xuande Gong!" But after a turn in his mind, he sighed again: "Alas, it's a pity that I only have one person now, and it is difficult to develop and grow." ”
Mi Zhu smiled: "This is also easy, if Boss Cheng doesn't dislike it, go to any side of my caravan to take care of things first, how about it?" Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Okay, Boss Cheng, you can earn it now, Mr. Mi is the richest man in Jingxiang, and there are countless business transactions, so why worry about developing with Mr. Mi?"
Cheng Sifang thought about it, now it can only be like this, the Mizhu caravan is strong, and it may be possible to find out Xiao Zhihan's information, but it is not necessarily, so he arched his hand and said: "In this way, Cheng Sifang will thank you very much." ”
Cheng Sifang followed Liu Bei to Xinye, entered the household registration, got the wooden calf, and since then he has been a person with status, and he is no longer afraid that others will use this as an excuse to make himself unable to do business. Mi Zhu took Cheng Sifang to his jewelry store in Xiangyang and said to the shopkeeper: "Xu Laosan, this is my newly appointed steward, you will all listen to him in the future, you know?"
The business of this shop was very sluggish, and everyone was listless, but when they saw Mi Zhu coming, they responded with strong spirits. Mi Zhu said to Cheng Sifang: "This shop is the worst in my business, I hope you can do a good job." Cheng Sifang nodded: "Leave it to me." Mi Zhu patted the square shoulder and turned to leave.
Cheng Si saluted everyone: "In the next Quartet, thank you Mr. Mi for not giving up and taking you in, and please take care of you in the future." When everyone saw Mi Zhu leaving, they all stretched out and became listless, either lying on the table or leaning on the pillar. Cheng Sifang frowned, and said to the shopkeeper: "Xu Laosan, show me the accounts of the shop." ”
Xu Laosan glanced at Cheng Sifang and said, "Who are you? I, Xu Laosan, have not been in charge of affairs with my master for so many years, why did you become a steward as soon as you came?" Cheng Sifang was stunned, and said in his heart: "It seems that if I don't recover these people, I won't be able to gain a foothold here." So he said, "If you have the ability, I don't recommend you to be a steward, but you can take a look!" Pointing to the door of the shop where people come and go, he said, "There are so many people outside, why hasn't one of them come in to buy things?
"Oops!" Xu Laosan got up and said, "So, your ability is very great, come on, come on, let the people outside come in and show me!" Cheng Sifang asked: "As long as people come in, it's okay, right?" Xu Laosan said: "That's right, as long as someone comes in to buy a thing and go, I, Xu Laosan, will listen to you from now on, everyone says yes?" and then said: "In the front, the price can't be lowered, otherwise the master will blame it, and we can't afford it!"
Everyone has been with Xu Laosan for a long time and has a deep friendship, so naturally they all stand on Xu Laosan's side, and shout one after another: "Yes, yes, if you have the ability, you can let people come in and buy things!
"Still in charge, I think you're nosy!"
Cheng Sifang snorted heavily, walked around the shop, and saw that although these jewels were good-looking, the price was quite high, and now in this market, how many people could afford this high price? and he couldn't change the price at will, Cheng Sifang's brows couldn't help frowning.
Xu Laosan looked at Cheng Quartet triumphantly and said, "How is it?
