Pirate Song

Gao Huaiyuan naturally understood Zhou Yi's meaning, nodded slightly to him, and said, "Very well, you set aside some money on the account of our Crouching Tiger Village, and I have a roster here, all of which are here. The list of the village warriors who died before the army with me, each of them prepared another five pennies to send to their families in my own name, to show my heart! Tell them that if they have difficulties, they can always Come to Gao's house and ask me for help!"

Zhou Yi immediately nodded in agreement, took the roster in Gao Huaiyuan's hand and began to look through it.

"Master! It is reasonable to say that Xiangyong died in front of the army. It should be compensated by the county government of various places. These people are not related to us. Why do you want to pay them yourself? This time I heard that the army The previous battle was terribly fought, and our Daye County township warriors suffered a lot of casualties, and so many people sent money to them, but it was not a small expense!" Huang Zhen couldn't help but asked.

Gao Huaiyuan took a deep look at Huang Zhenxin and felt a little displeased. He knew that Huang Zhen was a businessman and was used to looking at all kinds of problems from the perspective of money and interests, but the point of view was still for his own good, so he didn't get angry. He explained: "Uncle Huang's words are different. Although these people have no relatives and reasons with us, we were brothers who lived and died together when we were in the army. Now that I have returned home safe and sound, they are I spilled my blood on the battlefield, and I could never go home again. Besides, if they hadn't dared to work hard, even if I, Gao Huaiyuan, had three heads and six arms, I'm afraid it would not be enough for the Jin army to kill! The lives of us people can be said to be our benefactors, now I give a little support to their families, what is it?"

When Huang Zhen heard this, he immediately showed a look of shame, repeatedly apologized and stepped aside, while the others all showed admiration for Gao Huaiyuan.

After dealing with the matter of the old house, Gao Huaiyuan did not waste time in the old house. He took everyone with him and rushed back to Crouching Tiger Manor in the mountains. year-to-year changes.

When he and the others arrived at Crouching Tiger Village, there was a burst of joy here again. The teenagers who received the news, led by their respective team leaders, lined up neatly in front of the village, each looking excitedly at Gao Huaiyuan's arrival.

When Gao Huaiyuan approached them, more than a hundred teenagers bowed in unison and shouted to Gao Huaiyuan: "Welcome young master home!"

Looking at these energetic teenagers, Gao Huaiyuan naturally felt a burst of emotion in his heart, because he found that there were many new faces among this group of teenagers. Fortunately, his industry is an extremely profitable industry, otherwise, just to support so many people, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

I haven't seen each other for a year. The teenagers who stayed at Crouching Tiger Manor have grown taller and stronger, and their faces are rosy and healthy. They all looked refreshed, and they all looked very capable, which meant that although Gao Huaiyuan was not in Zhuangzi during this year, these teenagers did not relax their training at all.

"No courtesy!" Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and greeted the teenagers.

Those teenagers replied in unison: "Master Xie!" Then they straightened up neatly and looked at Gao Huaiyuan and the others eagerly. I regret not being able to go to the battlefield with Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan involuntarily walked to the front of the juvenile line, and patted every boy on the shoulder to show his approval. Every boy he photographed couldn't help straightening his back.

Gao Huaiyuan was delighted by this change. Looking at these teenagers, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help feeling confident again. As long as they were still around, he would definitely have no problem doing something by himself sooner or later.

At the end of the line were more than [-] girls. Gao Huaiyuan naturally couldn't pat them on the shoulder, but he nodded to them one by one. Many of these girls looked shy and blushed. Gao Huaiyuan had a feeling of affection in his eyes, which made Gao Huaiyuan feel a little embarrassed. As a result, those girls were glanced at by a cold and stern gaze, and they all quickly lowered their heads. Not far behind Huaiyuan, the demeanor of these girls fell into her eyes, and she couldn't help but make her feel a little jealous. She couldn't help but glared at the girls. Be honest and know that Gao Huaiyuan belongs to Liu Er, and it is absolutely not their turn to get involved.

In addition to the young men who greeted Gao Huaiyuan outside the village, there were also some domestic servants in the village. These people also followed Gao Huaiyuan for two or three years. Naturally, they were very happy to hear that the young master had returned. Under the leadership of Liu Da who entered Crouching Tiger Village, he stood behind the youth team to welcome Gao Huaiyuan's return. Liu Da was an honest man, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan came back safe and sound, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Gao Huaiyuan walked in front of him, Liu Da couldn't help bending his knees, knelt in front of Gao Huaiyuan, and said in a choked voice, "The young master is back! Liu Da greeted the young master!" Following him, the rest Those domestic servants of Crouching Tiger Manor also knelt down to greet Gao Huaiyuan.

"Please get up quickly! Liu Da, you all have worked hard! How to make such a great gift, get up quickly! I am also very happy to see you! Everyone is fine!" Gao Huaiyuan didn't put on airs at all, and he was still the same as before Treating these servants politely made them feel more cordial.

"It's all good...we're all fine...it's just that the young master has suffered a lot during this period!" Liu Da couldn't help but said looking at Gao Huaiyuan's rough and dark face.

After talking to them for a few words, Gao Huaiyuan finally saw that there were more than 60 people standing behind the servants. He took a closer look and felt relieved. It turned out that they were all those Jinjun soldiers Jia Qi had brought back from Taiping Town. Soldiers, these people are already considered to be from Crouching Tiger Village at this moment, but they are all ordered not to reveal their identities to anyone. In name, they are all northern refugees taken in by Gao Huaiyuan. After looking at it, he was completely relieved. Including the dozen or so people he redeemed in Ezhou, all the people he got out of the prisoner camp were here, indicating that only a small team came out at that time. There was an accident, and the rest of the people arrived here safely!

For these people, Gao Huaiyuan attaches great importance to them. If he has to rely on these craftsmen to do many things in the future, talents are his most critical capital now. Without these people, it may not be easy to do many things!

After Gao Huaiyuan sat down in the hall inside Zhuangzi, looking at the familiar faces around him, he really felt like coming home.

"Okay! Let Liu Da know and ask him to improve the food for everyone tonight. Let's celebrate it. Before we start the meal, let me know what changes have taken place in Crouching Tiger Village this year!" Gao Huaiyuan smiled. Said to the surrounding men.

Everyone turned their eyes to Liu Er who was sitting next to Gao Huaiyuan. Here, when Gao Huaiyuan was away, everyone consciously regarded Liu Er as the master here, and most of the important things had to be done with Liu Er. A decision was made after discussion, so when Gao Huaiyuan asked about Crouching Tiger Village, everyone waited for Liu Er to make a comprehensive summary first.

Liu'er was a little embarrassed by everyone. Gao Huaiyuan was not at home this year, and she felt that she had a heavy burden on her shoulders. Among all the people here, only she was closest to Gao Huaiyuan, and she knew very well that Gao Huaiyuan was lying in bed. Since Gao Huaiyuan left, she didn't dare to slack off, and took the initiative to undertake the management of Crouching Tiger Village.

It can be said that during this year, Liu Er was the most tired person in Crouching Tiger Village, so there is a reason why everyone waited for her to speak first.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Liu Er cleared her throat, and said to Gao Huaiyuan openly, "Master! During the year when you were not at home, everyone worked very hard. Great changes! Uncle Huang has put a lot of effort into the business, and now our main business, glass and soap, are selling very well, making a lot of money for Zhuangzi.

Moreover, the Liulifang and Soapfang respectively presided over by Li Tong Li and Jiang Peng have more than doubled their output in the past year, and the scale of the workshop has also expanded a lot. Now our products can be said to be in the market. It is very popular online, it can be said that as much as there are sold, and the prices on the market are still rising, and the supply is still somewhat in short supply.

As for the teenagers, Xing Fang and Liu Desheng have always been in charge, and they have not relaxed their daily morning exercises. Moreover, during this period, Uncle Huang has recruited dozens of teenagers with good qualities from all over the world. Now they are staying in Zhuangzi. The number of teenagers has reached 120, the specific situation, the young master can check their situation later.

As for road construction, Uncle Zhou has been in charge since the young master left. Now the mountain road has been built to the valley that the young master designated, and the road is basically leveled out. We only need to wait for the young master to come back and tell us what to do!

There is also the blacksmith shop. Master Zhou (Zhou Botong) has selected ten teenagers from our Zhuangzi as apprentices, and is now busy teaching them skills. In addition, among the craftsmen who came this time, there are five Good blacksmith, for this reason, the blacksmith shop has also increased its scale. Now the tools and other things of our Zhuangzi are basically made by ourselves!

As for the details, I think I'd better ask the masters to tell the young master about it! "

Liu'er roughly introduced the situation of Crouching Tiger Village to Gao Huaiyuan first, and the organization of the language was quite capable. It can be seen that in this year, Liu'er is no longer the little girl who was submissive before, and the pressure has greatly matured her. many.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded in satisfaction. This situation was the best he could have imagined. All kinds of affairs did not stop because of his departure. Although there was not much progress, they were all progressing steadily according to his established plan. Implementation, and he can see the changes in Liu'er very clearly, thinking that she is a girl, and when she leaves here, she can take care of such a large property in an all-round way, how much hardship will be involved in it, of course it is conceivable What's more, because of herself, she was worried and afraid from time to time, so Gao Huaiyuan looked at Liu Erqing's much-reduced face, and there was a softness in Gao Huaiyuan's eyes. If there were not so many people present, he would really He wanted to hold Liu'er in his arms and love her well.

"Master! Let me talk about the business first!" Huang Zhen couldn't stand Gao Huaiyuan's look at Liu'er, so he coughed and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately realized his gaffe, so his face blushed slightly, and he nodded immediately: "Okay! Uncle Huang will talk about the business first!"

"During the time when the young master was not in Zhuangzi, I sorted out the business. Now we have basically arranged for various raw materials from special merchants to supply us, and there will be no shortage of raw materials. There is no need for this, young master. Don't worry!

And our things can be said to be in short supply, but considering that we can't all rely on the Wang family and Jubaozhai, if something happens to them, it may have a big impact on us, so I make the decision in private, except In addition to the areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huainan, and Beijing West being in charge of these two for the time being, I have also shipped a small amount of goods to the areas of Huguang, Fujian, and Sichuan, and started to expand our business to the south. Now several large merchants have begun to cooperate with them. Send someone to negotiate with us, hoping to get the goods from us, the price is even much higher than the price in the Jianghuai area!

As for whether to ship a large number of goods to the south, we have to wait until the young master comes back to make plans, but it seems that there is indeed a lot of demand in the south, especially in the hinterland of Sichuan, where there are many rich people. The quantity is very large, so as long as our output can be supplied, sales will naturally not be a problem.

Also, I am also planning to open a shop of our own during this time, which will sell our own goods exclusively, so as to save our goods from being controlled by others. I don’t know what the young master wants. If the young master agrees, I can start to arrange it this matter. "Huang Zhen then began to introduce the business affairs to Gao Huaiyuan in general, and said some of his thoughts.

Gao Huaiyuan is very satisfied with Huang Zhen's performance. As the father of his hard-core brother Huang Yan, Huang Zhen has a good grasp of his identity in Crouching Tiger Manor. Has some business vision.

And he is currently shipping a small amount of goods to the south, which is also in line with Gao Huaiyuan's wishes, especially for his proposal to prepare a store by himself, Gao Huaiyuan deeply agrees. It's because he didn't have the ability to sell independently at the beginning, neither in terms of funds nor manpower, but now it's different, he already has manpower in his hands, and the funds are already quite abundant, so he continues to share profits and cooperate with others. Reduce your own profits, and the second is not conducive to the launch of new products of Crouching Tiger Village in the future.

The more important reason is that Gao Huaiyuan wants to gradually build a commercial kingdom of his own through the establishment of shops, extend his tentacles to every corner of the Southern Song Dynasty, and pave the way for future advances and retreats. After all, Daye County is too far away from the Song and Jin borders. As it gets closer, the war will seriously affect the development of Crouching Tiger Village sooner or later, and the south is more conducive to long-term development. If something happens, he can give up here and go to the south to gain a foothold.

At the same time, he deeply felt the lack of information through this time out for training. He could only hear about many things from others. Establishing an intelligence network of his own, Huang Zhen's proposal is also an opportunity right now. It can be said that businessmen have penetrated into every corner of the world, and they can get news the fastest. While establishing a sales network, it is actually equivalent to establishing an intelligence network. , and even this kind of intelligence network can be extended further, and can provide intelligence support for his future development.

After thinking about this, Gao Huaiyuan nodded to Huang Zhen and said, "Huang Shibo has worked hard. With you here, Huaiyuan really took a lot of trouble. Since Shibo has already made a plan, then this matter will be done according to Shibo's intention." Do it! But don’t offend the Wang family and Jubaozhai, and continue to maintain the relationship with them. After all, they cooperate with us quite well, and their reputation is guaranteed. We can’t tear up the contract without authorization. Otherwise, we will lose a foothold in the business world in the future. Difficult! Even if we open our own shop, the price cannot be lower than their selling price. Remember this, it is better to set up fewer enemies! When necessary, we can also directly produce soap in the south, which can reduce transportation costs. This matter will trouble Huang Shibo!"

Huang Zhenwen was overjoyed to hear that, for more than a year, he had long wanted to make a big splash in the business world, even if it wasn't his own business, but the relationship between Gao Huaiyuan and their Huang family was the same as his own business. Now the whole Huang family is living well in Crouching Tiger Manor, and Gao Huaiyuan doesn't treat him as an outsider, so Huang Zhen also wants to make good use of this opportunity to start a new business. Now that Gao Huaiyuan promised him to open a shop, then In the future, he won't have to just do some purchases!

"Don't worry, young master. I know the pros and cons of this matter. Let's start with the state capital where the Wang family has no shop, and try not to conflict with them!" Huang Zhen immediately got up and replied.

"Also! Huang Shibo should pay attention to it. It's okay to open a shop, but you must be strict in your tone. You must not let others know the connection between the shop and our Crouching Tiger Village. Let the shop be self-contained!" Gao Huaiyuan suddenly explained again.
