Chapter 239 Nobility and foresight! ! !
Speaking of which, Wang Zhigui was the first noble person Zhuang Zhou met when he started his career in Chang'an.
If there was no Lao Wang, there might be someone else.
But in that case, Zhuang Zhou's fate will be completely different.
But at least, for now, it seems that meeting Lao Wang is a good intersection of fate.
Think about this.
Zhuang Zhou felt that he owed Wang Zhigui a little.
but.
Now Zhuang Zhou has handed over Chang'an's exclusive tea agent to Lao Wang.
It can be considered as compensation for him.
When the tea market gradually expands, the income will not be underestimated.
As for the next alcohol market.
Zhuang Zhou is also prepared to leave it to agents.
After all, the alcohol market is huge.
It is impossible for oneself to be the only one in the family.
Moreover, Zhuang Zhou doesn’t want to be the only one in the family.
use this opportunity.
You can win over a group of businessmen who support you.
For example, Qian Lao and Qian Xuedong make medicinal materials.
Li Liangzhi, who is in the timber business, and Wang Fu, who is in the spice business.
And what Zhuang Zhou is most interested in is Lu Silang and Lu Fangju, who are engaged in jade business.
Money is something that one person can never earn completely.
The friendship between merchants lies in interests.
Zhuang Zhou naturally knew it well!
After putting everything in the room, Zhuang Zhou came to the front shop.
"Mr. Zhuang is back? Are you finished with the restaurant business?"
"The formalities have been completed."
Masan paused and said:
"Mr. Zhuang, do we really want to open a restaurant? The grocery store is very busy every day now."
Zhuang Zhou heard the meaning behind his words.
This is because I am afraid that he will be asked to take care of the restaurant again.
But for Zhuang Zhou, opening a restaurant is just a cover.
Of course it would be best to make money.
But the main purpose is still to promote drinks and purchase local products.
Then!
It is to build a social platform to attract the high-ranking officials and nobles of Chang'an.
Zhuang Zhou was not interested in earning copper coins.
But if you want to get the good treasures of this era, you must exchange them for copper coins.
"You don't have to worry about the restaurant. Just take care of the grocery store for me."
"Ok!"
Ma San felt relieved, nodded and said:
"Is there anything else I need to report to you?"
Zhuang Zhou looked at the shelves and replied casually:
"Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Ma San organized the language and said:
“All five large mirrors have been sold now.
Each mirror is priced at 300 guan, totaling 1,500 guan.
But even at this price, many wealthy families sent people to place orders after hearing about it.
But I didn’t know whether Mr. Zhuang could still get the goods, so I didn’t dare to agree for a while. "
When Ma San said it, his tone was a little self-blame.
After all, this is a big order for the shop.
But Zhuang Zhou certainly wouldn't blame Ma San.
"You did a great job with this."
After thinking about it, Zhuang Zhou said again:
"Let's do this! Next time someone comes to place an order, just say that the goods are still available, but it just takes time. If they are willing to wait, they can pay a 30% deposit first."
When Ma San heard this, he immediately responded.
Then he said:
"Also, the young man who came here to buy many Tihua Shows also came to ask about the big mirror and told you to get one for him."
Zhuang Zhou understood. If this wasn't Princess Changle, who else could she be?
But so what if you are a princess.
Zhuang Zhou also treated her equally:
"Tell her that there are still large mirrors, but it takes time to prepare them, and ask her to wait patiently."
"Yes."
Chang Le came out of the palace in disguise and did not reveal his identity at all.
So Zhuang Zhou naturally treated her as an ordinary citizen.
At this time.
The thin monkey and the fat tiger are back.
Niu Jiujin and several other men followed behind.
It looked like he had just returned from delivering the goods.
Now the grocery store is almost fully staffed.
But next.
Zhuang Zhou is also preparing to expand into the wine market.
This way.
For the operation of a grocery store, it is naturally not enough.
Think of this.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Fat Tiger and Skinny Monkey, smiled and said:
"Do you two want to make more money?"
Thin Monkey said first:
"Of course I want to, I haven't asked for a wife yet!"
Fat Tiger also nodded innocently.
Obviously it means the same thing.
"That!"
Zhuang Zhou ordered:
"Next, the grocery store is going to divide part of its business. Shopkeeper Ma is too busy, so I want to leave it to you two."
The skinny monkey's brain reacted quickly and understood immediately.
Mr. Zhuang wanted to cultivate the two of them.
So he quickly responded and said:
"Mr. Zhuang, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
Zhuang Zhou blurted out:
“I bought a restaurant in Dongshi and I plan to open it as soon as possible.
I'm going out for a few days. Next time I come back, I'll bring a lot of drinks.
This is the business that the grocery store is going to branch out next, and it is negotiating the beverage business with major restaurants in Chang'an.
As for me, I want to leave this matter to you two.
The fat tiger is in charge of the west market, and the thin monkey is in charge of the east market.
If you are willing, I will give you an extra amount of money every month. "
Zhuang Zhou didn't want to give them a performance commission.
The monthly payment cannot be raised too high all at once.
Calculated based on current salary.
As the second-in-command of the grocery store, Ma San's monthly salary is five guan.
The thin monkey and the fat tiger both have three copper coins.
As the cargo transportation captain, Niu Jiujin earns three copper coins every month.
After all calculations, Shouhou and Fathu are the third in command of the grocery store.
Ma San was once again too moved to repay.
This is a huge blessing!
"Mr. Zhuang, how do you arrange the manpower?"
"What about recruiting people for this job? Are you willing to do it?"
Ma San immediately expressed his position and said:
"Mr. Zhuang, I do!"
"I do too!"
Fat Tiger was also full of joy.
Now it means that the two of them also have their own subordinates.
I also have to be responsible for my business independently.
The most important thing is that the monthly payment is more than usual.
This is the real deal.
For Zhuang Zhou, the business volume of grocery stores is getting bigger and bigger now.
The division of labor must be further refined.
Each piece of business is handed over to a dedicated person.
This will also facilitate Zhuang Zhou's future work management.
It's equal to say now.
Ma San is the general manager of Zhuangji Grocery Store.
The thin monkey and the fat tiger are department business managers.
Niu Jiujin continues to be responsible for the delivery business.
As for ruby.
From now on, I will be responsible for women’s products.
Purchase valuable medicinal materials by the way.
It's not easy for Yang and her daughter to make arrangements now.
Waiting for Taibai Restaurant to open, then we can plan a job for her.
Things are arranged.
Zhuang Zhou warned Ma San again:
"I'll be out for a few days. If there are any valuable wood delivered, you can have them delivered to Caotang Temple outside the West City Gate."
"Okay, Mr. Zhuang."
"If it's anything else, just put it in the Zhuang Mansion first and wait until I come back to deal with it."
"Yes."
Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and then remembered something:
"In addition, you can ask someone to send fifty guan of sesame oil money to Caotang Temple."
"Mr. Zhuang, didn't you just give me fifty guan of sesame oil money last time? Caotang Temple shouldn't be able to use it so quickly."
Ma San was a little reluctant to let go this time.
But Zhuang Zhou didn't care about the money at all.
The bracelets the monks made for him were taken back to modern times and sold.
Just selling two bunches is enough for him to recover his capital.
But Zhuang Zhou didn't intend to tell Ma San the reason.
explain:
"You don't know that Caotang Temple has gathered a large number of students from all over the country to take the exam. Just eating and drinking every day is not a small amount, even if they do good deeds and accumulate virtue!"
Ma San said nothing after hearing this, but his face was still very sad.
This time, I gave away only one hundred guan of sesame oil money.
There are also solar lights.
After all, it costs less than three hundred copper coins.
Mr. Zhuang is really generous to these monks.
Of course Zhuang Zhou knew what he was thinking.
He immediately said:
“Ma San, you have to think long-term when doing things.
If one of these students becomes an official in the future, wouldn’t we be the nobles in his official career? "
When Ma San heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Follow the reaction:
"Mr. Zhuang still has the foresight!"
