Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1549 Prosperity

  The ninth day of the seventh month is an auspicious day, suitable for weddings and funerals.

   Having chosen such a good day, Fang Jifan's new store opened.

On the same day, Zhu Houzhao, who had worked hard for this day for a long time, looked up at the huge flagpole in front of the shop, then looked up at Fang Jifan speechlessly and said, "You mean, let me climb the flagpole?" Go up, isn't this a monkey game?"

"Your Highness!" Fang Jifan said sternly: "The so-called big things are not limited to small details. If everyone knows that His Highness has climbed the flagpole, it will not be a sensation in the world. I am afraid that soon, the impeachment memorial of Yushi will be ready. Everyone wanted to see what was going on."

  Zhu Houzhao: "..."

   It seemed to make sense, Zhu Houzhao looked at it seriously, and finally took a deep breath, trying very hard to get rid of the funny picture in his mind.

   "Start... Motomiya..."

   "Actually, it's just for show." Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes and said, "The one who really climbed up is not His Highness."

   "Ah...it's not Bengong..." Zhu Houzhao was taken aback with doubts in his eyes.

"The news released is like this." Fang Jifan said again: "The news was released yesterday. Think about it, Your Highness, are you afraid that the opening today will not be overcrowded? People... I am also ready, one by one People who are similar to His Highness, he climbed up to wave the flag, and there is a flying ball on top, and advertising slogans are hung on the flying ball. In this way... His Highness only needs to watch the show from the sidelines."

   Oh, it turned out that I didn’t climb up by myself.

   This made Zhu Houzhao heave a sigh of relief, but he felt a little bit disappointed.

   It seems... climbing up is very exciting, after all, so many people can see it.

   "But..." Zhu Houzhao was still a little worried: "But...the emperor...will definitely blame me when the time comes."

"I have already thought about it for Your Highness." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It is well known that I, Fang Jifan, are loyal to His Highness the Prince. I don’t know, I don’t know anything, of course, I don’t know either.”

   "Oh." Zhu Houzhao nodded and understood: "Then who knows?"

Fang Jifan said cheerfully: "The opening of the new store, I have handed over to Chen Tong from the business department to take charge of it, this guy, Chen Tong, you know, he is the dog who used to be the servant in the household department, these days he followed the prince Your Highness, I'm so happy, this matter...he is responsible. After the investigation, the superiors said that neither the prince nor the minister knew about it. It was Chen Tong's good deed. The minister is a conscientious person and has already inquired. His family is small, parents, brothers, nephews, and nephews. There are only seven or eight people. Even if they are all killed, there is not much loss. As for other business personnel, there are as many as a hundred or as few as dozens of people in the family. , such careful planning is worth it."

  Zhu Houzhao heard it, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Well, I heard that there are only seven or eight people in his family, and my conscience is more at ease. Okay, let's do it like this."

  It was still early in the morning, and there were still one or two hours before the opening, because it was too early, and not many people came.

  Therefore... Chen Tong, who is in charge of the full power affairs of this new store, is so busy that he is sweating profusely.

  He naturally knows that this store is the top priority of Qi Guogong, saying that it is related to the layout of the future business.

  Because of this, Chen Tong paid special attention to this.

   After staying in the workshop for a long time, I have been fascinated by it. I have seen more merchants of all kinds, and I am gradually assimilated by them. However... these days are quite comfortable. But when it comes to shopping malls, although there are intrigues, as far as he is concerned, it is still relatively easy.

   Not only can you eat and drink every day, but you don’t have a censor watching, and you can occasionally listen to ditties and plays, and you can also get reimbursed. The most worth mentioning is that the monthly salary is very expensive, and the money is clean.

  Of course, the most important thing is that because he represented the crown prince and the Duke of Qi to discuss the business, the business was negotiated happily, and the merchants cheered and hugged him, and he was still a superior person.

He also figured it out, people, they just want to live a good life, how comfortable they are, how they come about in their official career, it all depends on fate, if they can go back to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the future, that is of course good, if it is really not possible, then just be good Doing business along with it is always a good way out.

He arranged everything happily, inventorying, picking up, and loading. Every kind of goods must be recorded. The price of each commodity needs to be calculated diligently. It must be controlled within a certain price and guaranteed. Sufficient profit, in addition to calculating its storage and transportation costs, as for how to replenish, it is even more a matter of knowledge.

   These have to be learned from scratch.

   But precisely, Chen Tong is an excellent person.

  If you are not smart enough, how can you stand out among thousands of troops and win the gold list. If the EQ is not high enough, how can he stand out from the countless concubines and politicians and become the servant of the household department.

  He has a lot of knowledge, experience, and insight into people's hearts, so there is absolutely no problem in management.

  And his biggest advantage lies in his strong learning ability, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

  This is the reason why later generations of companies always hire famous college students.

In fact, the vast majority of graduates leave the school and enter the workplace, because what the school teaches and what they do in the actual work are completely different concepts, but almost everyone is convinced that the graduates of these prestigious schools are more adaptable. Once hired, you can always do better.

  The reason is nothing more than the same study time, some people can endure loneliness, learn faster than others, learn better than others, this is the case in study, and it is probably the same in work.

In future generations, Chen Tong will belong to the school bully among the school bullies. In his eyes, the champion of the city's college entrance examination and the champion of the provincial college entrance examination are all scumbags, so he can get started very quickly, and quickly follow the thinking of the prince and Duke of Qi to adjust. own direction.

  After everything was ready, he was worried and checked every link again.

   This is the first time. According to his experience as an official, all the experiences of today need to be recorded, and the experience and gains and losses of this time can be absorbed from it in the future.

   When he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, his mood suddenly brightened.

  No matter how you say it, it is a great sense of accomplishment to make one thing foolproof.

  Speaking of it, Qi Guogong seems to have an inexplicable affection for him.

  I was just a small salesman, but I didn't expect to be valued by Qi Guogong soon. It is not easy to entrust me with such a heavy responsibility, really not easy.

  It seems... Qi Guogong still has a bit of a wink, he knows heroes with his eyes, and he also values ​​heroes. This guy should make a fortune.

  After working for a long time, he happily found the prince and Fang Jifan who were drinking tea in the backyard, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, Duke Qi, everything is ready."

   "Really?" Fang Jifan said in surprise, "That's what I'm worried about. You've done a good job, and I appreciate you very much."

   This word came from someone else, to be honest...Chen Tong didn't care about it.

But…

  Speaking from Duke Qi, Chen Tong suddenly felt his eyes turn red.

   What an endorsement.

On Qi Guogong Day, he either beat or cursed people. From his mouth, he has never uttered a good word, except for His Majesty, he scolds and bites everyone, and now... this sentence is really appreciated. It warmed Chen Tong's heart.

  Chen Tong was moved.

  He let out a sigh of relief: "Grandpa, old man... hey..."

   It's really hard to describe, he really wants to talk about his mental journey... talk about his feelings in front of Qi Guogong.

  At this time, Zhu Houzhao also said: "Is this the Chen Tong from last time?"

   "Exactly." Fang Jifan replied.

Zhu Houzhao stood up, stepped forward and patted Chen Tong on the shoulder and said, "It's really hard work. I have to thank you these days. Lao Fang said a lot of good things about you in front of Ben Gong, saying that you can understand the general situation, be diligent, yes A rare talent, I am proud of you."

  Chen Tong couldn't help being flattered, he sniffed, he hadn't been so moved for a long time. The ups and downs of the officialdom had already numb his heart, but now...he suddenly felt that the crown prince and Duke Qi were not as bad as he imagined.

  He was busy to say something.

  But at this moment, someone outside poked his head: "Your Highness, Lord, there are many people coming outside, a sea of ​​people..."

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan couldn't care about anything anymore, and they were overjoyed: "Ah, let's go out and have a look."

  Last night... I heard there was a monkey show here.

  Actually, there is nothing interesting about the monkey show. Who hasn’t seen it?

  But... when it was learned that His Royal Highness was performing the monkey show himself, the capital was overwhelmed.

  Because...many people realized that His Highness the Crown Prince really did such a thing.

   What's more, today's day is specially chosen to be a day of rest.

  So...everyone who could come came.

Yushi Qingliu, who hate their teeth itching, have been unknown in this court recently. After all, the rumors have been tight recently, and they really dare not show their heads. Yes, it can be said to come out in full force.

  The merchants who sent the invitations were also full of expectations. Many people hoped that His Royal Highness and Qi Guogong would lead them to make a fortune, but how to make a fortune is actually a question that everyone cares about.

  Happy people, flock here.

  Today, it can be said that the alleys are empty and full of people.

  People looked at the huge shop that was still closed, and for a moment didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

But I saw that in front of the shop was a huge square, and there was a special place for parking on the square. In addition, there was a pole on the pole... Not to mention, there was really a person waving a flag , like a monkey, running up and down on the pole.

  When a certain censor saw this scene, he suddenly felt that his eyes were going to go blind, and he rubbed his forehead to faint.
