Chapter 76: The Storm and Rain

As the topic was talked about, it was back to involve the three of them and let the three of them reach the forefront. The three of them were afraid of this. What they said was a false accusation. If they were really written into a memorial and the three of them stood out, they would be finished. They would not be exiled or punished for being a serious crime. If they were not done properly, they would be ruined and forgotten.

The three of them didn't want to agree, but the adults had already said that they would help get back to get their family. If they didn't agree, they wouldn't have to expect to stay here.

The three of them looked at each other and the speed was very fast. Governor Ning pretended not to see it, and still sat there steadily waiting for the three of them to reply.

Cao Herui stood up, "Sir, that's right. In fact, it's very easy to pick up the three of us families. As long as the adults lend us some money, we can do it. I wonder if the adults can take out some money?"

"Oh? Just have money? I don't know how much it takes? I don't have it here either. As an official, I benefit the people. I only have some salary, and other money will be gone." Governor Ning said this on purpose.

Cao Herui knew that this was false, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he had to say embarrassedly: "Actually, there is not much. If an adult borrows five thousand guan, then the small one can repay the debt."

"What? Five thousand guan? If it is five thousand guan, I may be able to take it out by thinking more ways, but I can't get it even if I have been an official for a hundred years. I don't know why your family owe so much money. Don't you know what your salary is?"

Governor Ning left the stool in surprise. He was indeed surprised. He actually knew that these three people were plotted by Zhang Zhong and owed some money, but he didn't expect that they would owe so much. What kind of method is this? The three people didn't look like fools.

Can he take out this money? Is the Ning family still less than 5,000 guan? Not to mention one 5,000 guan, there is no problem with ten or hundreds, but he must not take out the money. The three of them have any value in his heart, and it is not worth investing so much.

If there is this money that can be taken out, why should I give it to the three of them and send it to the court directly? Therefore, he said that he would not give money to the three of them, and it would be good to eat, drink and live here.

When the three of them heard the adults' words, they felt cold and knew that they would not give them any help. When they came, they thought of this. How could three stray dogs make others fall in love with them?

What you can do now is to be a dog wholeheartedly, otherwise there would be no other way out. The three of them looked at each other again, nodded, and Cao Herui started, kneeled there with a plop, kowtowed to governor Ning and said:

"Sir, the younger ones will listen to you in the future. You will do whatever you want the younger ones to do. The younger ones will never ask more questions, and you dare not refute them. Please help us save us. You are really desperate. If you ask the younger ones to bite people in the future, the younger ones will never use your hands to hit them."

This is very clear. He is willing to be a dog for others. Governor Ning didn't expect that Cao Herui would do this. Looking at the other two people, these two people also knelt down and kowtow. Their words were roughly the same as Cao Herui, and they would sell them as long as this time they passed.

Governor Ning sighed. He could understand that the three people were not the backbone, but that the three people were really forced to go to the fore. Otherwise, how could they even want their faces? It would be difficult.

Thinking of this, Governor Ning nodded and said, "It's money, I really don't have it."

Without waiting for the three of them to show sad expressions, he continued: "I don't mean that my family is not my own. I have a distant relative who has done some small business and tells the money you owe, and then I will help you borrow it. This will have to be paid back. But you don't have to worry. This money does not need to be paid, nor does it limit the time. I will give it whenever I have it, and come a little bit.

Then the three of you can go back. I will write a letter and write a memorial to the court, and give it to Zhang Zhong. I said that I had secretly found you, and wrote the letter to the court. Qinzhou was also suffering from disaster. Seeing that Luzhou was well managed, I wanted to learn it.

But I was worried that I would not tell you, so I only secretly found you three people. I took the responsibility and wrote down what Zhang Zhong did here without any fault. Do you understand that?”

Governor Ning really valued Cao Herui, at least they were also the magistrates, and they were once the magistrates who had a vain. Can it be possible without some ability? Such people cannot be brought to Qinzhou to do things, but they can be arranged elsewhere, and they may be of great use in the future.

When the three of them heard that they could borrow money, they nodded one after another. Even if they understood that they had just left the nest and entered the tiger's den, they had to accept it. The main reason was that the adults were willing to help get the things that came over, otherwise they would be finished even if they went back.

On the contrary, it is better to owe a master or not an enemy. At worst, you can do more things in the future, especially if you need to pay back the profits every month, so this matter must not continue.

Cao Herui responded faster and kowtowed hard, saying, "Thank you, sir, you are our reborn parents. sir, are you asking us to find some Zhang Zhong's problems to write them together? What if the previous ones are more painful?"

"What's the problem? If you really write it down, then you'll die. I want to praise Zhang Zhong. Not only can't tell him his fault, but he can't tell him, but he also has to exaggerate some things. In this way, even if I'm not jealous, I'll also sell Zhang Zhong a favor. Otherwise, why would he let you go?"

Governor Ning suddenly felt that his decision just now was a bit wrong and he shouldn't have made a decision so early. Did these three people be fooled by Zhang Zhong? I don't understand such a simple truth.

Fan Jianxi said at one time: "Sir, the younger ones understand, just say good things to Zhang Zhong, making Zhang Zhong happy, and at the same time, some individuals in the court suspicious and jealous. Even if there is no chance now, when there is a chance, they will harm Zhang Zhong behind their backs. Sir, you are really amazing. The younger one has thought about it for so long but hasn't fully understood it."

Governor Ning was very happy to be photographed, but he refused to admit, "I didn't think so. You thought about these things yourself. Don't push them to me if something happens, do you remember?"

"Remember, remember, the adults didn't say that the young ones thought badly. Compared to the adults, it would be like stars and moons. It's impossible to compare. Sir, what are the young ones doing now?"

Fan Jianxi quickly agreed. He didn't dare to say things too clearly at this time. Instead, he even knew it and had to be in front of him. At the same time, he wanted to go back early and pay back the money first, and see Zhang Zhong's face at that time.

The other two people also looked up and looked at the governor Ning hoped to get the money sooner, and of course, there was also the letter that would prevent them from being punished.

How could the governor Ning not know what the three people think? It is time to give benefits at this time. He nodded slightly and said, "You will be able to get the flying money in a while. You will hand over the flying money and then hand over the letter. No, you should hand over the letter first. Otherwise, Zhang Zhong may feel that he can't catch your handle and will ignore this favor, but remember it."

"Remember, sir, young people, remember, sir, then sir, let's retreat first and wait for good news for sir." Fan Jianxi understood as soon as he heard that if he gave Zhang Zhong the flying money first, Zhang Zhong would naturally make a fuss in other aspects as soon as he saw that all the money was paid back.

But if you give the letter first, it will be different. When Zhang Zhong saw the letter and thought that he would have to pay back the money, he would first waive the crime, or give it a light sentence, waiting for the punishment, and then pay back the money, so there is no need to worry that Zhang Zhong can find an excuse.

Thinking of this, the three of them were happy. They couldn't force adults to get the money, so they could only wait. The three of them had already thought about it and talked about more money. If they paid back, Zhang Zhong would still have the rest, which would be useful in new small transactions.

Governor Ning didn't say anything anymore. The three of them knew that they agreed and retreated one after another. When they retreated, the three of them felt that their bodies were wet. They were so nervous just now that they were afraid that the adults would not help them, but now they were much more relaxed.

"I remember that I waited to go back to do small business and let the servants at home go to Lianzhou. They must not be in Luzhou. Also, if someone from the Zhang family comes to discuss any business, or if someone from outside comes here in person, they will not be seen, so they can't come again."

After coming outside, Fan Jianxi said, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and the other two nodded one after another. They were also scared. Zhang Zhong was too difficult to mess with. The three of them could no longer deal with him, so they could only wait for the adults to take action themselves. Then they would be waiting for the fun next to them.

Cao Herui said at this time: "Two, please listen to me. After we go back, we must find a way to inquire about Zhang Zhong. I guess the adults won't take action so quickly. After all, the food this year has not been long, and many places have not yet recovered. Adults should take it a little longer.

We cannot forget about the matter here casually. We must show our abilities, otherwise adults may feel that we are useless. By that time, we will not only have to pay back the money, but also be abandoned."

When the other two people heard this, they both understood. At the same time, they hoped that the adults would take action a little later so that they could give them time to get information so that they could show their ability.

Before I could wait too long, the letter was written, and the three of them reported more money they owed. In addition to preparing to do some business in the future, there was another worry that Zhang Zhong would use a plan for their family. If their family owed some money, they still couldn't pay it back when they went back, so they couldn't go there again.

After taking the money and letter, the three of them left here in full spirit and took a boat to go back by water. They could arrive in a few days. They all seemed very excited.

When he got on the boat, Cao Herui couldn't help but say, "Now, let's see how Liu Shaoqing can do it? Are you thinking about getting the benefits yourself? He didn't come to see us, nor did he tell us what those shrimp paste are for. Should we visit after we get back?"

Cao Herui felt disgusting in his heart. He calculated that he had suffered a lot on Liu Shaoqing, especially when he was stolen money and beaten again. He felt that Liu Shaoqing was not beaten, so he felt uncomfortable. Moreover, when he came out, Liu Shaoqing seemed very mysterious.

After hearing this, Fan Jianxi smiled happily, took the wine from the table next to him, poured it on the other two people, and said gloatingly: "Oh, Brother Liu is not easy. Why did you forget to ask for more money just now and help me pay back the portion of Brother Liu?

I forgot, I did forget it. It’s a pity that I can’t go back now, so I can only forget it like this. I think Brother Liu has many ways. When we get back there, Brother Liu may pay it back with no money. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, that's true. Brother Liu is a capable man. How can ordinary people compare to it? I'm not as good as myself. When I go back and get this done, I will definitely buy more firecrackers and celebrate with Brother Liu." Jiang Huanshi also echoed.

The three of them have nothing to do now, and once their mentality changes, they start to plot against others.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't know that there had been an agreement there. He had actually prepared some means to wait. He didn't really like Jiang Huanshi and the other two, but the Ning family had to prevent it. After all, it was a big family and had been here for so many years. How could it be a waste of time? Maybe they were also trying to figure out how to plot against themselves.

But now Zhang Xiaobao will not be able to separate his energy to manage those things. He continued to discuss business with Wang Juan and Li Xun. This business is not about raising precious fish, but about things like sofas.

"Xiaobao, what is this thing? It's really comfortable to sit on it. Are you going to sell it? Get a few sets for me first. I'll give it to someone and I'll give you the money, but you can't ask for more."

Li Xun shook on the sofa a few times, and thought it was very good. He said to Zhang Xiaobao, this is a good thing. Touching the skin of the sofa, it is also good, soft and soft.

Zhang Xiaobao also tried it a few times and thought it was OK. In fact, the one placed underneath was not a spring, but a bamboo piece, which was a little worse than the spring sofa, especially if you can't try it too hard. Zhang Xiaobao was going to try it with this first. If it could work, put iron piece inside.

The elasticity of the wire is not enough, but the iron piece is OK, and you can sell it for money at that time. These skins were brought from the north of the capital. This thing is also very easy to imitate. Not to mention that there are no patents here, even in places with patents, there are few fakes?

Zhang Xiaobao is planning to get out this consumer group. Ordinary people should not expect to use such things. Just have a stool to sit on it. Why do everyone have to enjoy it? It is not enough to let the people enjoy it, and the cost is there.

Now that I was satisfied with seeing Li Xun, Zhang Xiaobao asked, "If it was sold to you, how much money do you think you are willing to spend to buy this thing?"

"How much is it? Now there is only one, and I am willing to do it even if it is 200 guan. After all, it is a set. Look, this one can be lying down and this one can sit. There are mats made of cotton on it. Add these small small pieces of good wood. Two hundred guan is not expensive. Although I know that the materials used when making these things are only more than forty guan."

Li Xun happily picked up a pillow and compared it to the painting. He felt that the price he gave was very reasonable.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "You want to buy a few gifts for someone. I will sell you 200 guan. If someone comes to buy it, I won't sell it if you don't sell it. You can't always look at the materials. It depends on the skills. For example, if you buy jade, do you just look at whether a piece of jade itself is good? You don't look at the skill of the knife? Is this the truth?"

The cost is indeed about 40 guan. It is not that fur is valuable, but wood is valuable. The materials and small amounts of wood on the sofa are all good wood. What you want is this kind of wealth and honor. If the cost of 40 guan is transported to the capital, a shipping fee will be added. This thing is expensive and cannot fall around casually.

If you really sell 200 coins at that time, you can only make more than 100 coins. The profit ratio of this luxury product is too small and you have to sell it for 300 coins. This is still a bargain. Waiting for the brand to be sold, you will not sell it for 400 coins less. What rich people buy is not things, but face.

Wang Juan was also very clear about this. The things she used were better at the beginning. The lv package was expensive. Later, I found that it was a domestic OEM. As long as you don’t have the logo, the same shape, the same materials and production method can be bought several times or even dozens of times less, and the brand money is the money.

Of course, it is not easy to create a brand, but now the brand of Shuiyunjian is still strong enough. As long as the sofa is also on Shuiyunjian, the brand will be available. Wang Juan is thinking about whether it is better to create a single brand or to create another brand, that is, there will be a double brand, with gains and losses.

Thinking of this, he asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, single brand or double brand?"

Li Xun naturally couldn't understand it and looked at the two people in confusion, hoping to get more useful information from the two people's mouths.

Zhang Xiaobao fell into deep thought, thought for a while and laughed, saying to Wang Juan: "It's not a single brand or a double brand. I want to use this series of actions to do two brands and two commercial groups, and use the subsidiary to borrow the brand of the parent company Shuiyunjian to become famous, and then use another shell company to acquire it.

The name of this shell company is Haiyunjian, or it is okay to give it a separate name. It makes people wonder if it was a transaction between our Zhang and Wang families. In this process, they used some commercial mergers to fight a beautiful business war. In the end, the new public company snatched the brand away, while Shuiyunjian made money in the business war.

It is impossible to tell who is the loser and who is the winner. In this process, other businessmen can be attracted to join, become two camps, and compete with each other. In this way, if there are businessmen who are not good for us, we will know, and then *** will let the businessman lose more with the new company.

Two companies can go hand in hand, giving people a feeling of conflict. This is the competition system within the company. Who stipulates that the Zhang family cannot have another parent company? There are many details. I will go back and think about it slowly. Don't worry, this kind of thing will not hurt me."

Wang Juan nodded violently. She really didn't consider that Zhang Xiaobao was going to do this. This was actually a kind of fraud, especially those businessmen who were attracted to help both sides. Zhang Xiaobao was planning to plunder the businessmen when he became famous.

Thinking of Zhang Xiaobao's identity, Wang Juan said that he understood, "Okay, I know this kind of thing is not difficult for you, but you have to think about it. When the two groups merge again, those deceived people will eat you. Your method is really a bit too scam."

"Not afraid, in business, even if you offend him, as long as you give him enough benefits later, he will forget his hatred, unless he is not a businessman. Then, let's talk about the system of this furniture first. There are not many furniture styles here. If we didn't make tables and chairs, people are still sitting on benches and futons, and the backrests are not connected together, they are a separate shelf."

Zhang Xiaobao patted the sofa and said, "He felt that this kind of business behavior was not a fraud. If he really couldn't bear it, he would let everyone make some money and not lose money. Real fraud could be derived from this behavior, but he didn't want to do it that way."

The main reason is that the opponents are different. Now they are developing well, so why should they take such measures? The reputation will become bad. If it were placed at that time, what is the reputation? But here is different. What the people look at is reputation, the court looks at reputation, and the status of merchants is too low.

If you really use all the means, not only can people at this time see the power, but you can also ruin your reputation and cultivate businessmen here. The ancients were not so easy to bully. They might be deceived once when they didn't know this method, but they wanted to cheat them again, and they would be devised if they were decorations of those aristocratic families? They have many talents.

Not to mention anything else, it is the top level of the game. Now many people have been promoted, and there are many questions during upgrades that others can't answer at first, but after a few times, they can find the rules.

Wang Juan heard what Zhang Xiaobao said and was considering letting go of snacks. She also discovered that as long as she took out the things she had developed with Zhang Xiaobao, she could do better immediately and summarize some experiences to change.

The only thing she and Zhang Xiaobao can rely on is the wisdom of the ancients. Thanks to that lunatic era, the capable and the mediocre, and if you want to live a good life, you have to work hard. If you have a master's degree, you have two doctoral degrees. If you produce 3,000 kilograms of rice per mu, you can reach 5,000 kilograms of rice.

The waves wash away the sand, and various means emerge in endlessly. Few people will pity the losers. They can only move forward and then move forward, and be surpassed when they stop. Some people abandon dignity and morality, some people wander on the edge, and few people can hold on to the last bottom line.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were both thinking about various things, and Li Xun was also thinking about it. He now understood a little bit, that is, the Zhang family wanted to secretly build another place to do business, and then compete with Shui Yunjian to use this to attract some merchants who have ideas about Shui Yunjian.

He understood this matter, and it was actually like this in the court. He let the people below fight each other and then do things well in this kind of competition, but this kind of thing is not so easy to control.

Thinking of this, Li Xun said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "Then I will also create a group for business and join them together. It will be stronger than the two groups you have created. It is a three-legged battle, so that the three of them can fight together. Only in this way can they be afraid of failure at any time.

One of the companies is strong, but they dare not attack the other two companies, so as not to unite and deal with him together. How about it? Is it feasible?"

After Li Xun finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan hopefully. If he wanted to know what the two of them were thinking, only if they agreed first, the people behind the Zhang family might agree.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were very surprised. They didn't expect Li Xun to have so many ideas. The three-legged tripod is better than the two groups. Even if they lose in a certain place, they don't have to worry about losing as a whole. A group will have to defend if they win a little, unless they feel capable of fighting against the two groups.

The two of them looked at each other, which meant that who said Li Xun knew nothing? As soon as the competition mechanism was introduced, the separation of powers was thought of.

Zhang Xiaobao first expressed his opinion, "Okay, it means that there are three companies involved in each other. After the sofa is ready, Mr. Li will set up his own business group and include all the business industries, so that the three companies have many of the same business, so that they can compete."
To be continued...
