The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 36 The Shopkeeper Zou in the 21st Century
Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to turn around and leave, Zou Fengchi couldn't help feeling a little anxious.After all, for a person who can become the richest man in Datang, the minimum power of observation is indispensable.

Although Zou Fengchi didn't know it, the young man in front of him was the current crown prince.However, he also felt that Li Chengqian's identity was extraordinary.

So he opened his mouth and shouted: "Young master, business is not like you. Business is about buying and selling."

"Since the young master wants me, Zou Fengchi, to follow the young master, but I don't know what the young master can guarantee, so that I, Zou Fengchi, can be as rich as the enemy?"

Li Chengqian stopped and said with a smile: "As a businessman, the most important thing is investment. If you don't even have the most basic investment vision, why waste my time."

Zou Fengchi thought for a while and said: "Okay, then I will use the white dice in my hand as an investment. I wonder if this young master thinks the weight is enough?"

"Not enough, although this white stack will have a lot of room for appreciation in the future. But this thing is a seasonal item, and it won't be long before it will be all over the street."

"So, I don't accept your investment. Of course, as long as you are willing to invest, you should know what to offer." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said.

"It seems that what you are most concerned about is my relationship with the palace. Well, since you are so concerned about this matter, then I, Zou Fengchi, will not hide it." Zou Fengchi said after thinking about it.

Then Zou Fengchi let Li Chengqian into the room.And personally brought a bowl of water for Li Chengqian.

This is not because Zou Fengchi treats Li Chengqian contemptuously, because in the Tang Dynasty tea was not something common people could afford.Today's Zou Fengchi hasn't made a fortune yet, so naturally he can't entertain guests with tea.

"You don't have to worry about it anymore, why don't you tell me about your relationship in the palace." Li Chengqian asked Zou Fengchi.

"I'm dissatisfied with this young master. The news about Bai Diezi did come from the palace. And the person who gave me this news is the queen's maid." Zou Fengchi said to Li Chengqian.

"You are so extraordinary, you can even hook up with the maids around the queen." Cheng Chumo said curiously.

"It's a long story. She and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. It's a pity that things get tricky, and she was sent to the palace in the end."

"At first, I thought that I would never have the chance to meet her again in this life. Fortunately, God favored me and allowed me to meet her again not long ago."

"It was also because I met him that I knew the usefulness of Bai Diezi. That's why I spent all my money to buy Bai Diezi." Zou Fengchi said.

"The maid beside the empress can't easily leave the palace. How did you meet her?" Li Chengqian asked Zou Fengchi.

"Maybe this is fate. Not long ago, she was ordered by the empress to go out of the palace to do business. I happened to meet me unexpectedly in the West City of Chang'an City." Zou Fengchi said to Li Chengqian.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help saying to himself: "No wonder he was able to become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. It turned out that he had colluded with the maids around his mother."

It can be said that Li Chengqian has believed Zou Fengchi's words. After all, the way Zou Fengchi got rich is recorded in history books is too bizarre.

If he wanted to get in touch with the maids around Empress Changsun, then he would naturally be able to get some secrets from the palace.Let Zou Fengchi use this to make money.

So Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Of course I can find out whether what you said is true or not. If I know that you are lying to me, I can guarantee that your life will be worse than death."

"Why should I lie to my son? What good does it do me? The most important thing for a businessman is reputation. If I don't even have reputation, how can I gain a foothold in the west city of Chang'an City?" Zou Fengchi smiled and said to Li Chengqian said.

"I have several shops in Chang'an Chengdong City, and now I'm short of a shopkeeper in charge. And I think you have the potential to be a businessman, so I plan to let you be the shopkeeper. What do you want?" Li Chengqian nodded said later.

Hearing that Li Chengqian asked him to be a shopkeeper, Zou Fengchi couldn't help frowning.After all, the shopkeeper of a shop is really not in Zou Fengchi's eyes.

Seeing Zou Fengchi's expression, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Since you have connections in the palace, you should have heard of the Beijing opera sung in the palace a few days ago and the hot pot."

"And the business I opened is related to this Beijing opera and hot pot..." Afterwards, Li Chengqian briefly explained his plan to Zou Fengchi.

Zou Fengchi nodded after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he asked Li Chengqian: "Then how much money can I get as a shopkeeper in a year?"

"How much money I can get is not up to me, it depends on your business performance. Because I plan to use half of the profit as your salary." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

A person who can become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty will naturally have a good sense of business.So he agreed to Li Chengqian without thinking.

"Okay, this is my handwritten letter. Tomorrow you take it to the 21st century in Chang'an Chengdong City, and someone will tell you what to do." Li Chengqian said after handing a letter to Zou Fengchi.

……

In Li Chengqian's temporary residence, Cheng Chumo and Chang Sun Chong sat around the stove with Li Chengqian, tasting delicious boiled mutton.

"My father is right. The taste of this hot pot is unbelievable. It seems that I will go to His Royal Highness a few times in the future if I have nothing to do, so as not to miss any delicious food." Cheng Chumo stuffed it into his mouth Lamb, said vaguely.

Seeing Cheng Chumo's eyes were only boiled mutton, Chang Sun Chong shook his head helplessly.Then he put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I said, His Royal Highness, merchants have been the most cunning existence since ancient times."

"In their eyes, interests are more important than anything else. Can such a person be trusted by His Royal Highness?"

"For thousands of years, merchants have been the most humble occupations. And even the children of merchants are unlikely to become officials. There is no chance of even being a small official."

"However, there is no shortage of merchants in this world. If there are no merchants, our basic necessities of life will be problematic."

"So businessmen are not eager for money, but they have nothing else to ask for except money. If I give him other hopes, do you think he will not give his life to me?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"It's true that my father is right. These people who study are full of tricks. If they are not careful, they will trick them." Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but said to himself.

But now Cheng Chumo doesn't have time to say anything.Because he is enjoying this delicious instant mutton.I am afraid that if I am not full now, I will not have a chance to eat again in the future.
