The young master here is his little master, but he has done something. Thinking of this, Wu Liu really feels that he is not at a loss. He has done something wrong and it has nothing to do with others.

Li Cong walked to the main seat and sat down. Wu Liu was still kneeling there honestly. Both Cui and Boss wanted to say something. But no sound came out of their mouths. They themselves were guilty and didn't know what to do.

Speaker.

"You get up first. You are responsible for your cousin's affairs, but it is not the main responsibility. I was also very angry during the day. I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen in our own family. The same goes for you. These things are not supposed to happen.

It should have happened. Now that it has happened, there is no need for it to happen. I have not paid much attention to this family during this period of time, and you guys may also be distracted. This is fine. From now on, you can take care of the errands in your hands.

Hand over some of them, everyone will be responsible for some things carefully, and I will let others take over the rest." Li Cong thought for a while and said. His few words made the three people dumbfounded.

It was necessary to weaken the full strength of his own hands. In fact, Li Cong had this idea a long time ago, but the Cao family had not yet established a firm foothold at that time. It was unjustifiable to do such a thing internally, but it is different now. Moreover,

If we don't distinguish the power in the hands of these three stewards in this current situation, many people may not know themselves, but they know the top stewards of the Cao family. This must not happen.

"Master, I did something wrong, and I am willing to be punished." Wu Liu knew his master's temper, and it was useless to say anything at this time. If he defended this matter, he would probably end up in a very bad way.

Yes, he also knows that the young master is a nostalgic person. He has suffered a lot along the way with the young master. As long as he does not make mistakes in the future, there is no problem in enjoying the blessings honestly. As for the rights in his hands, at this time

I just didn't think about it. As for Boss Cui and Bai Er next to me, although they also felt that this matter was relatively sudden, they didn't dare to say anything when the young master was so angry. If they didn't say it well,

Maybe I have to be like Wu Liu.

"I think the stewards in the second gate are all very good. It turns out that Fang Zhong, the steward in Telan County City, will take over your management of all things in the farm, and Gu Xin in the second gate will take over the management of shopkeeper Cui.

Regarding the affairs of the Western Empire, the two of them will be treated the same as you from now on. They are both big managers. You can just find someone to fill the gap between the two of them." Li Cong thought for a while and said, these two Li Cong

I have been paying attention to it for a long time, and it is really good to do things.

It can be said that Telan County City is not one of the most important counties and cities invested by Cao's Trading Company. The investment projects there can be said to be dispensable, and the annual profits are not very much. It can be said that they can make them there.

Just maintain it. It is just like many counties and cities. It is a kind of face-saving project to build a brand for Cao's Trading Company. But such a face-saving project can actually be done by this guy Fang Zhong. Of course, this guy

We also did a lot of bad things in terms of business operations.

There are eleven grain retail outlets of Cao's Trading Company in Telan County City, one medium warehouse, one trading house, two sales agencies, and one bank. The total investment is about ten thousand taels of silver. After half a year, Fang Zhong gave it to

Cao's Trading Company brought back a profit of about 4 million taels. This is something that no other county supervisor has done. And this Telan County is not a famous place, it is just a very ordinary county in the Northern Empire.

City, by doing this he became the best among hundreds of general managers. Such a person naturally attracted Li Cong's attention, and his information soon came to Li Cong.

When this guy took office, he found out several of his competitors in Telan County. They are similar to some mining counties. Basically, the people here do not grow food at home, but work in the mines. In the past,

At that time, these people were also authentic farmers, but this was probably tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, the mining merchants could not find their own workers because no one was willing to leave the land. Compared with that time now,

But it’s different. Working in the mines definitely has a better future than farming. However, over the past tens of thousands of years, many people have felt a little regretful. If their fathers had not sold their land, they might have lost their land.

Now they can make a very good living by growing food.

The food supply in Jiangning City where Li Cong is located is fifteen cents per pound. It can be said that it is at a very normal level in the entire empire and even the entire continent, neither high nor low. However, because there is no food in this Telan County City,

The price of grain here exceeds fifty cents per catty. There are several powerful competitors in the grain business here. After Fang Zhong learned about the situation here, he set his first goal. He must make this happen.

The problem of feeding six million people is in your own hands. It would be good if 500,000 of the six million people in this county can eat local food. The rest is all shipped from outside.

Li Cong knew how difficult it would be for this guy to defeat those old guys.

The first thing Fang Zhong did was not to use price or other things to defeat his opponents in business. First, he went to the homes of several local large-scale mining owners with heavy gifts. What he discussed with these people was to use very low prices.

Sell ​​the grain to them at a reasonable price, and they can use the grain as wages for the workers. In this way, the businessmen who come and go can reduce their wages by at least half. Gaining 50% profit in this way is absolutely

It has to be done. Soon, dozens of industrial and mining owners have signed contracts with Fang Zhong. The food for the 800,000 miners in the entire county has been taken care of first. This is just a guaranteed business. When it comes to making money, it is

There is nothing to earn, Fang Zhong just regards this as his own beginning.

It can be said that Fang Zhong’s first step was very successful. Many people fell in love with the taste when they first tasted this wheat. They had never seen or tasted such a taste before. One by one

They were all very happy and began to help Cao's Trading Company advertise everywhere. Although several other grain suppliers also felt that Cao's Trading Company was a bad person, they did not take them seriously. They continued to do their own business.

When it comes to buying and selling, newcomers need to show off.

But one month later, all these grain merchants began to regret it. In this month, 70% of the people in the entire county had eaten their grain. It can be said that the grain merchants' grain was piled up.

In the warehouse, nothing was sold. The price of 35 cents per pound almost made people in the entire county go crazy. No matter whether they had enough to eat or not, this profitable business must still be done, otherwise

How is it possible to survive?

When the grain merchants started to wake up, when they knew that Fang Zhong might ruin their plan, most of the grain merchants couldn't sit still. They started to say hello to the people on the interface when they had nothing to do. The buying and selling of this thing

It just needs the majority of people to support it. If it doesn’t move, it would be too much.

Within a month and a half, the grain merchants here have become honest. The grain trading of Cao's Trading Company has been distributed to many surrounding counties. They never expected that the people of Cao's Trading Company are so capable. Not to mention, their backstage is...

If you are tough, if you are slightly inappropriate, you may be the unlucky one.

After occupying the local market with grain, the local people also know what Cao's Trading Company does. Grain trading is only a small business for them, even if 70% of the people in the entire county eat themselves.

Grain, this is not a big business, and then Cao Family Bank and Trading House started one after another. Cao Family Bank’s business is the best, many people come to borrow money, and the interest rate promised is very high.

, It's a pity that this party has no intention of lending money to outsiders. Instead, he signed a loan agreement with several local wealthy businessmen. Others don't understand what he is doing, but Li Cong knows very well that he is the one who owes the money.

Uncle, these wealthy businessmen have local connections that no one else has. If Fang Zhong wants to integrate in quickly, spending money is what he must do. If it doesn’t work once or twice, there will always be a time when they relent.

, that time is the time for banks and trading houses to do business properly.

Eight months later, Fang Zhong asked everyone in the county to deposit money in Cao's Bank. The interest rate was not very high, but people just wanted to deposit their money there. There was only one reason, and that was that the place where this guy lived seemed to be

It's very safe. Fang Zhong has successfully attracted so many rich people's money. At this time, he starts to become bolder. If you want to help, you have to help. If you don't help, your previous efforts will be in vain, even if you encounter it yourself.

What's the trouble? These people don't care about their own face but also the face of the creditors behind them, right? I can be shameless, but none of these creditors are easy to control.

After successfully absorbing so many deposits, Fang Zhong's next strategy was to take out loans. This was in ancient times, and private lending was a normal thing, and the court also encouraged it. As for how to calculate the interest, it's up to you.

At the beginning, Fang Zhong and the others didn’t dare to eat this or that here, but after I became the creditor, it was completely different. The money we have with you is on the account, and I want to get it back.

No problem, it's just a matter of time. Over time, people will know this guy's ability, and they shouldn't underestimate it.

It happened that the news about Li Cong's master was spread at this time. Fang Zhong immediately seized this opportunity and annexed several other banks in one fell swoop, making Cao's Bank the largest bank here. It can be said that this business was done well.

It's really good.

As for the other Gu Xin, it is completely different from Fang Zhong. Gu Xin is not the external steward of the Cao family, but the internal steward of the Cao family. This guy is mainly responsible for some shitty things in the second door of the Cao family.

Anyway, there is nothing serious. But even so, people do these things very seriously, so seriously that Li Cong admires him a little.

It can be seen from one thing. When Mrs. Li was going out to visit friends, she needed a box of red ink chessboards. This friend of Mrs. Li had been playing with this all her life, so Mrs. Li asked Gu Xin to give it to her.

Go get one. To be honest, this thing is not very valuable, but it is very rare. It is said that rare things will always be very expensive, but it is not like this. These things are not very good. I like them.

They are all people with strange habits. Gu Xin visited many sales points, but there was no place selling these things. Unfortunately, Gu Xin could only continue to search.

When Li was about to forget about this matter, Gu Xin appeared in tattered clothes. This guy found out that there was such a thing in another county hundreds of miles away. He rode there overnight. Someone with such a heart.

It's really rare. Li Cong didn't see much of his ability to do things, but Li Cong could see his attitude very clearly. Isn't it said that attitude determines everything? People with such an attitude can definitely do things well.

That's no problem either.

Of course, these two guys are both beginners, and they cannot accept too serious entrustments. The matters on the farm are not very important in Cao's Firm. They just watch the tenants not make trouble.

All the business in the Western Empire has just started. There is nothing to pay attention to yet. This can be regarded as an exercise for them. Wu Liu and the three of them also understand that power was too concentrated in the past.

, when something like this happened, they all knew that this was the punishment Li Cong gave them, and they were not serious about deducting their salary and making a blackboard.

After finishing their affairs, Li Cong will have to negotiate with the Tuoba family. Tuoba Zhiqiu is not a small person. If they can come to our door to negotiate with us, it shows that they attach great importance to this matter. We also

We can't do this nonsense. We postponed the negotiation to give us face. We can't be too shameless.

Early the next morning, Li Cong showed up at the place where Tuoba Zhiqiu lived. Li Cong came specially to accompany Tuoba Zhiqiu to have breakfast. This breakfast was also a good thing from the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Tuoba Zhiqiu had never eaten these things before. This thing called tofu brain was really delicious and very creamy. After eating two bowls, Tuoba Zhiqiu was full of praise for this stuff. This Li

There are so many good things here, and I can really learn a lot in one day here.

"Mr. Tuoba, I was really rude yesterday." Li Cong's first words after dinner were this. He should have given a banquet to welcome people yesterday. Li Cong also had this in his plan, but it was just out of the snack street.

Li Cong had no interest in the matter at all. Tuoba Zhiqiu also knew what Li Cong was thinking. The family scandal should not be made public, let alone in front of him.

"Haha, Lord Cao doesn't need to be so polite. Although I was not there yesterday, I still admire Lord Cao's approach. Such things are very normal in any big family. It can be said that there are

It would be good if one out of ten people made such a move as Mr. Cao. More people would not do this. What they have to do is to hide this matter. This is what they have to do. If this is

If people find out, their family's reputation may suffer a lot. It can be said that the lives of many people are not even as important as their reputation." Tuoba Zhiqiu is also a very T-shirt servant.

Master, he also hates these things very much, but as he said, these things will happen in every big family, and they will not be eliminated.

"Mr. Tuoba is really good at praising people. I'm a little embarrassed. It's better not to talk about such things. It's better for us to talk about our future. After inspecting the Western Empire, I have decided to enter it in a big way.

, I wonder what good news Mr. Tuoba can bring me?" Li Cong really didn't want to talk to others about his scandal, so he quickly diverted the topic away. If he continued to talk,

If you continue, you will be the one to be embarrassed in the end.

"Haha, compared to the other three empires, I think the Western Empire is a bit out of date. The entire court is lifeless and lifeless. Our Tuoba family can also see the future of the Western Empire, not internally.

The destruction is external destruction. We don’t want our Tuoba family to be implicated in this way. Mr. Cao, do you have any ideas about doing something big? Being a businessman is also a businessman, but so is the business of a businessman.

There are small ones and big ones, and the biggest business is the business of an empire." Tuoba Zhiqiu said with a smile, Li Cong was also a little shocked, damn, this old guy dares to say anything, this empire

Will the rise and fall of the world be that simple?

"I don't quite understand what Mr. Tuoba means. Can you make it clearer?" Li Cong already had his own thoughts in his heart, but this was considered a treasonous thing. If he failed, he couldn't take it seriously.

The mastermind, and I haven’t figured out the affairs of the Northern Empire here yet, so I want to get involved in the seizure of power in the Western Empire. Isn’t my situation too big? It’s not easy to handle such a big situation.
Chapter completed!
