Chapter 651 The Importance of Confidentiality

"You left me like that in the morning, and I haven't settled with you yet."

"You invited King Cheng in, but you can't blame the servant girl."

Gu Yun frowned suddenly, the maid's self-proclaimed Bai Kou suddenly made him feel very harsh and uncomfortable, and he didn't want to hear her say that again.

"You are my steward in the inner house, and my big shopkeeper outside. You don't need to call yourself a maidservant anymore, just listen to your fate."

"This won't work. There must be superiority and inferiority, not to mention birthright. It's not a good thing for servants and masters to be too close."

"Then I don't care. If you are humble in front of other masters, be humble, but from now on in front of me, I don't want to hear you talk like this again."

"Okay then, I'll just change it."

"That's good, give me a reward." Gu Yun kissed immediately, and added after thinking about it, "You have to be consistent with me in front of my brothers and buddies, and they are not your master, and they still rely on you to make money. Don't be too polite to them."

"it is good."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's up to you to make it up to me, don't bite me."

"Humph."

As soon as Bai Kou snorted, Gu Yun's face was pressed down, their lips and teeth were pressed against each other, Bai Kou's teeth were clenched tightly, trying not to let him succeed.

Gu Yun found that it was fine if he couldn't open Bai Kou's teeth, he wasn't quite right, he was satisfied with holding him in the current position for a while, but he was a little uncomfortable when he let go, but there was nothing he could do if he was hungry, he still had dinner food.

Gu Yun just entered the government school the next day, and he received warm congratulations from his master and classmates. The threshold for an imperial merchant is not as low as what Gu Yun said yesterday. After all, to be an imperial merchant, one must first have a rich fortune and be able to withstand the court's purchase. Tossing and tossing can meet the various requirements of the nobles of the court, especially if they can bear the torment of deficit. More demands in the palace will inevitably increase the cost, and the palace does not recognize the extra expenses. They can only eat it by themselves. Only at the top of the imperial business can we have more flexible bargaining power, and even additional funding is not impossible.

Such a troublesome matter is naturally a headache for Bai Kou. Yesterday, she suggested that the sons and daughters form an agricultural and industrial alliance. She also had the idea of ​​sharing the risk of the palace order. If it really caused a deficit, at least there are profits from other places to make up for it.

Under the booing of his classmates, Gu Yun readily agreed to borrow the spacious training ground of the Fuxue, reserve a table at the restaurant, and treat everyone to a drink, so he didn't want to entertain them at home, and he didn't want to be troubled by Bai Kou.

The entire school from the master to the students were invited, so naturally they couldn't eat that day, so they agreed on a few days, and then sent people to the restaurant in the square to book a table.

The news that Gu Yun obtained the status of an imperial merchant is spreading in the capital at this moment. Everyone who hears the news is not surprised at all. Many people even think it should be taken for granted. Look at the business of his factory. You will know how prosperous it is, but it would be strange if you can't get the qualification of imperial merchant.

And those incense merchants who were being robbed by Bai Kou for their business had mixed feelings in their hearts. Just now they were happy that Gu Yun became an imperial merchant, so they would not rob them of business, but after thinking about it The difficulties that the imperial merchants will face, I am afraid that they will have to get money from different places to make up for the shortfall in the business of the palace, and robbing business will only make them more fierce, which makes them want to cry without tears. What the future holds.

Yesterday, she took over the business from Songnan Hall, so Bai Kou and Gu Yun went out together, one went to school, the other went to the factory, and asked the workers to make samples of the medicine bottles. From the moment she entered the workshop, she was surrounded by crowds to congratulate her. The son became an imperial merchant, and the shopkeeper Bai Da naturally took the greatest credit.

Bai Kou stayed in the factory all day. When she was eating in the cafeteria at noon, she stood on the second floor condescendingly and announced to everyone that in order to celebrate the son becoming an imperial merchant, everyone can get an extra month on the salary closing day next month. salary.

As soon as she finished speaking, enthusiastic cheers broke out from upstairs and downstairs. The stewards and deacons who had been kept in the dark all morning couldn't hide the joy on their faces, and they stepped forward to thank her.

After Bai Kou exchanged pleasantries with them, the workers below also vented their excitement and gradually quieted down. Bai Kou seized the opportunity and sold sugar and big sticks together, warning them to work hard and keep improving the quality of products. The competition in the circle is also fierce. Everyone wants to step on others and stand at the top of the circle. If they lose, they will die, because this is not a business dispute, but a political struggle, so now everyone shares weal and woe with the prince. Eating inside and outside damages the interests of the factory and the prince. For example, if you can’t control your mouth and tell outsiders about things in the factory, whether it’s product formulas, production plans, or interpersonal relationships, regardless of gender, once you are caught, you will not be sent to officials. , but tied to the ground and let everyone step on it.

This made everyone shudder, there were so many men and women in the factory, if one person stepped on one foot, before everyone took a turn, that person would be trampled to death.

Afraid that they would not understand, Bai Kou repeated a sentence three times, warning them that as long as they walked out of the factory wall, everything in the factory would only rot in their own stomachs, and they were absolutely not allowed to reveal a word to outsiders, let alone Don't try to take advantage of the loopholes for your own benefit with the hints in your eyes and words.

The people upstairs and downstairs shook their heads and waved their hands, vowing to strictly abide by the confidentiality regulations. The affairs of the factory are only discussed inside the factory, and they are not even discussed among workers outside, in case the walls have ears.

Bai Kou was very satisfied with their performance, and on a whim, said a few more heartfelt words.

"Everyone, it's not that I'm scaring you all. It's not the same today. The son got his first official position in his life because of his fame. He is a saint's imperial merchant. It sounds very enviable, but in fact life is not easy. Imperial merchant In order to meet the various requirements of the court procurement, even the most outlandish ones must be followed. If you deal with many people from all walks of life, you will have intricate relationships. Offending people or being hated by others, and these relationships will become a trap for deceiving people, so there is a saying that imperial merchants are born to be the most likely to be involved in political struggles and become victims. From now on, every Everyone has to be extra careful.”

Think about Princess Cheng Ning Peilan's natal family. In order to become one of the best imperial merchants in the circle, she must have stepped on other people's bones to climb up in the past. Ning Peilan is the best married sister among her peers. Huangshang, the two companies work together as a group, which can resist many risks.

After saying this, there was a moment of silence upstairs and downstairs, and I don't know if everyone was stupid.
