Chapter Eleven: Getting Rich
Chen Zhengtai waved his hand, squinted his eyes at Li Xiao, and said, "The business is not good, it is just that people are overdoing things, and the goods in the store are not unique. Everyone sells these groceries sold by the Chen family's shops, right?"
Li Xiao was stunned.
He has been in business for many years and has been helping the Chen family to manage shops. He is well-informed. This young man from the Chen family looks like a young man. He is young and in charge of the family business. He thought in his heart that this young man is just here to show off his power.
But unexpectedly, the young master pointed out the biggest disadvantage of the Chen Family Shop.
Li Xiao's little chicken nodded as if pecking at the rice: "Yes, yes, yes. The young master is really insightful."
Chen Zhengtai held his hands behind his back: "The so-called change will make you clear; if you don't change, you will die. If this continues, the Chen family has such a good shop, but it will not bring wealth. Sooner or later, it will be defeated. You are also a businessman. I'll ask you how to make this shop look brand new."
"This..." Li Xiao looked at Chen Zhengtai, feeling a little guilty, and couldn't help but mutter, if I knew, wouldn't it be that wealth would be abundant? In this world, where is such good money? How could you think of it with a slap in your forehead?
He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out a solution. Seeing that he couldn't think of it, Chen Zhengtai said lightly: "I think this shop has changed its business. As for what to sell in the future, I still have to think about it. But now, we have to solve the problem that this person is in trouble first. Why not do this? From today on, the salary of the shop is linked to the profit of the shop. If the shop earns less, you don't think about having a salary. Just eat dirt. If the shop makes amazing profits, everyone will pay dividends according to their performance, what?"
It was like a bolt from the blue, and countless thunders were clattering on Li Xiao's forehead, and he suddenly felt dizzy.
By performance...
With the current performance of this shop, wouldn’t everyone in vain and everyone else have to support their families?
There has never been such a way to support the guys inside and outside Chang'an City.
I have old people above and young people below. Isn’t this going to force people to death?
Li Xiao immediately said excitedly: "Young Master...this is absolutely not possible..."
Chen Zhengtai felt sympathy for these guys. He also knew that many people were having difficulty supporting their families, but the Chen family could not continue like this. The family’s accounts were completely deficit.
Now the opposition from Li Xiao and others is definitely the biggest. After all, it used to be a guaranteed harvest in drought and flood, but now it is at risk of hunger at any time.
Chen Zhengtai immediately pulled down his face and had to calm them down: "What can I do? Now I, Chen Zhengtai, have the final say in this Chen family, or do you have the final say."
Li Xiao was stunned.
This Mr. Chen is really afraid that the world will not be in chaos. If you do this, you will be afraid that the Chen family’s shop will be finished in less than three days.
Chen Zhengtai had no time to hear Li Xiao and others complain, so he took Chen Fuyang away.
Li Xiao had a deep pain and summoned all the staff to announce the latest news about the Chen family's son.
Suddenly, the guys seemed to have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, and they started to buzz and clamor.
"Shopkeeper Li, if we say this, wouldn't we have to drink the northwest wind in the future?"
"This is not enough. I won't stay here. I have children at home."
"We can't be hungry."
Li Xiao smiled bitterly, but advised him with kind words: "Everyone, we have followed the Chen family for so many years, and they have not treated us badly. Now the Chen family has difficulties and we need everyone to work together. Mr. Chen has just taken charge of the family business, and he doesn't understand many things very well. Gradually, he can understand our difficulties."
He took a breath: "Everyone is staying for the sake of my Li's face, so I've found an opportunity. I... I'm going to the young master to talk about everyone's difficulties. If everyone leaves at this time, the business will be disbanded. How can I not share my worries with you when I eat my king's fortune?"
After a while of hard work, the originally noisy guys barely calmed down.
However, Li Xiao knew very well that this situation would not last long. After all, it was difficult to do business after all. Perhaps... the Chen family was going to collapse.
This reminded him of the Chen family when he was an apprentice. It was decades ago. How prosperous the Chen family was at that time.
It’s a pity that the owners of the Chen family are worse than each generation, and I’m afraid they are really over.
............
The Chen family has shops, farms, and many industries. After inspection, Chen Zhengtai roughly felt confident. The family is big and the business is big, but in fact they are all empty, just like a giant with mud foot.
In the evening, he led Chen Fu back home and walked outside for a day, and was warm all over. Chen Zhengtai asked Chen Fu to boil water and prepare for bathing and changing clothes.
But I saw Chen's father sitting in the hall drinking tea in anger.
"Sir." Chen Zhengtai felt a little complicated when he saw Chen's father.
How can I say it? Anyway, as long as I look up at him, I feel that there is a black gas on his head, a capital lettering word.
Chen's father sipped a tea and looked worried: "What happened, Zhengtai, something is going to happen."
"What?" Chen Zhengtai looked at Chen's father: "What happened?"
Chen's father sipped a tea and then said worriedly: "Deficit."
"Deficit?" Chen Zhengtai took a deep breath. It seemed that this father was not stupid. He even knew that the Chen family's deficit was serious.
"It's so scary." Chen's father said with lingering fear: "You don't know how terrible this deficit is, but you don't know if Li Erlang wants to be a father. Do you know that this salt and iron envoy will be delivered for his father today. After checking the accounts, you only realized that the Chang'an Salt and Iron Secretariat is just an empty stand. There is not a penny in the account, and you even owe a lot of credit."
This made Chen Zhengtai shocked. It turned out that what he was talking about was not the Chen family's deficit.
"The Salt and Iron Department will also be deficit?"
Chen Zhengtai felt that Chen’s father was insulting his IQ.
Who in the world knows that the most profitable business in the world is salt. Whoever controls salt can gain a gold rush every day.
"You don't know that Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy is different from other places. This salt and iron is divided into public salt and private salt. It follows the Sui system. Most of the salt wells in other states in the world are in the hands of the Salt and Iron Envoy, so they enter the gold bucket every day. But when I arrived in Chang'an, I checked the accounts of my father and found that the salt wells in Beijing were actually owned by private people. The previous salt and iron envoy was already deficit, and it was already too late to take over for him. It was a magnificent day. My father couldn't figure out why Li Erlang suddenly gave him this fat and flaw. Now I know that it turned out that Li Erlang wanted to harm me."
Chen Zhengtai was not interested in Li Erlang trying to harm the Chen family.
To be fair, my father is a bit shameless. The emperor is deliberately trying to harm the Chen family. Is the Chen family worthy?
But he suddenly grasped the core of the problem: "My Tang Dynasty salt can still be privately owned."
"When...of course..." Chen Zhengtai glared at him. After all, this child still lacked experience and didn't even know this: "Just pay enough salt tax to the Salt and Iron Division, you can run privately. But..."
He sighed again: "You don't think about where this is? This is under the feet of the emperor and Chang'an City. Which of the families who can control the salt well here is not a king or a prince? If they want to conceal the reports, how dare the Salt and Iron Envoys be received by them? Therefore, the Salt and Iron Envoys in Chang'an are not only not beneficial, but may cause great trouble."
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, his eyes lit up: "Salt pond and salt well? Sir, are they all salt pond and salt well used to make salt now?"
"If it's the beach, you will naturally use a salt pond to dry salt. But here is Chang'an, most of the salt wells are used to get brine and then dry them into salt. You, you used to only know how to read, but you didn't know..."
Hearing this, Chen Zhengtai smiled and said excitedly to Chen's father: "We are going to make a fortune, the Chen family is going to make a fortune."
"I'm crazy again." Chen's father looked at Chen Zhengtai's lively look and pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea. He was not panicked, he was not panicked. I have never seen any storms.
