Chapter 250 Give enough benefits
Following his uncle, Li Zhuang thought he was an experienced businessman, but his uncle Li Xiu died of illness and took over the Li family's business, he realized that things were not that simple.
This time, he brought the caravan to Huairen County to do business. On the one hand, he wanted to act according to his uncle's last wish, and on the other hand, he wanted to prove himself. But this time, the businessman was opposed by everyone from the beginning. From the perspective of a businessman, the businessman who went to Huairen County had to pay any money no matter how he looked at it. Li Zhu even heard some rumors from his mother that the old managers in the family had to pay for the business. This business must be compensated, but the compensation would be paid, so that the young owner would learn a lesson and would not be so reckless next time.
I could still persist before, because my uncle told me that I was dealing with people like Zhu Da, and not rush to make money and establish a relationship. Everything was fine afterwards. But after all, the two sides only met twice. They said that the relationship was a bit reluctant, and they thought it was very good, but after they went there, they couldn't tell the truth. The opposition of the stewards was not completely unreasonable. In addition, Li Zhuang was constantly talking about the goods from stocking to the journey, and he did not dare to strictly control and deal with the rebuttals and ridicule of the people below. You should know that Li Zhuang's style is still very good in normal times.
After arriving in Huairen County, Li Zhuang was no longer thinking about whether this business could be completed, but how to end it after losing money. This made him more and more afraid to discipline his servants, so as not to be too harsh and rebound too high afterwards.
He never expected that things would turn things around like this, and it turned things around so thoroughly. Zhu Da simply took out 500 taels of silver to buy goods, and it was a waste of money. You should know that the Li family caravans sold broken silver coins and various local specialties collected from goods in Shanxi and Datong merchants on weekdays, which caused certain losses in color breakage.
After all, when selling goods, the Li family caravan faces scattered merchants and common people. When purchasing goods, they have to face merchants with similar or even larger sizes. When selling goods, they have to collect those with insufficient quality. When purchasing goods, they have to give the other party a sufficient quality. There must be at least 10% of the loss. Of course, this loss is also recorded in the cost. But when looking at the quality of the silver given by Zhu Da, you can tell that it is of the top quality, which means that there is no need to consider the loss. After entering and exiting, the Li family made 10% of the silver discount, let alone the profit of the business itself.
After a little calculation, Li Zhuang came to the result. The profit this time was rich enough. Not only could the custodians' mouths be blocked, but the elders and kind mouths in the family could be blocked. This business is not about losing money in shame, but about making money.
Just when Li Zhuang was ecstatic and excited, the old manager came to his ear and whispered: "Boss, our Li family is doing serious business. You dare not do business with the risk of the king."
Li Zhuang first felt that the old manager had lost his own excitement, but he soon realized that no one was willing to do a loss-making business. Zhu Da had done a big business in Hebian New Village back then, and he must have a good understanding of the business knowledge. Such a smart person allowed him to make such a huge profit for no reason. There was no benefit in the world. What did he want to do?
"Brother Li, I made you more money this time because I want you to come here to do business in the future. The profit you make in the future is not as much as this time. But I can guarantee that you will definitely make more money when you come to me than elsewhere." Zhu Da said.
Zhu Da's words shocked Li Zhuang and the old manager beside him. He thought that this whisper was heard. Zhu Da ignored their reaction and said sincerely: "Zhu needs you to come, so you want to make money. What Zhu said is useless. Let you make money is true. There is one thing that Brother Li knows. My adopted father, who was a Juren in the current subject, is the only Juren in our county in the past twenty years."
What he said was a bit confusing, and it was unruly inconsistent with each other. But for Li Zhuang and the old manager around him, Zhu Da's words had already dispelled all their concerns, and there was no falsehood in it. It only explained that his own request and his own power needed a caravan to come here, so to make money from the caravans here, this is the most straightforward expression for the merchants and the most convincing. As for what the new imperial examination person means, Li Zhuang and the old manager understand even more.
This juren is probably the most famous among the natives of Huairen. Such a master can protect everything. In the future, when he comes to Huairen County, there is no need to worry about being blackmailed. This... Li Zhuang was thinking about it, but was poked by the old manager beside him. Li Zhuang looked at the old manager, but found that the old manager stared at him fiercely. Li Zhu was also a smart person. He immediately reacted and smiled and clasped his fists and said to Zhu Da: "Brother Zhu, just open your mouth for whatever goods you need in the future. You must send them to you in sufficient quality."
Why did the old manager glar at him? Li Zhuang knew in his heart that such a generous customer was in front of him, and he was still in a daze and flattering himself. The main thing was to hold on to him quickly and flatter him diligently.
Zhu Da nodded and said to Li Zhuang with a smile: "I won't let my friends suffer losses. My friends' affairs are mine."
Having said that, when the people in the field saw the police bringing whips and buckets, the two sides were in a warm mood. The Li family caravan had already breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the two companions who were kneeling there would be no punishment, but when they saw the whips and buckets, they realized that things were not over.
"Everyone whips ten whips and stays in my farm to do hard work. When the caravan comes again, it will be decided to release people depending on whether the transformation is good or bad." Zhu Da said coldly.
As soon as the words were finished, the police quickly took off the guy's shirt, stirred it in the bucket with a whip, and whipped it hard. When the whip went down, the skin was blooming, and the guy was slapped and screamed like a pig. After the two whip, there were only uncontrollable crying. The first whip was whipped, the people from the Li family caravan took a step back, and the second whip was whipped, and everyone trembled, as if the whip was whipped on them.
The two guys tried desperately to break free, but were pressed and unable to move. When the ten whip was halfway through, they could still cry and howl. When they finished sucking, they shouted until their throats were hoarse. The audience was silent again, and the young men came forward to pull the person up. Now there was no good piece of meat on the backs of the two guys. Since Zhu Da said just now, these two guys must not be able to return to the team and were taken directly to the farm.
"Zhu...Master Zhu, these two ungrateful bastards should be beaten, but the wounds on their backs should be treated in time, otherwise they will die if they are killed." The old manager hesitated for a moment and stepped forward respectfully to plead.
If a whip sucks someone, if the dirty thing on the whip enters the wound and gets fired, it will easily cause the wound to ulcerate. This is also an experience. It is time to beat him or her. If he gets killed, it will be a big deal.
"It's okay, the whip was cooked in the pot in advance, and the water in the bucket was salt water." Zhu Da replied calmly.
Since such measures are available, there is no need to worry about the heart entering the wound. The old manager breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he shivered. Not only him, but the people who heard Zhu Da's answer were trembling. The pain was doubled. Even if they had not been whipped, they had heard rumors in the yamen.
"Brother Li, whoever refuses to accept discipline or who is unreasonable, you point out people. Brother Li, you are concerned about your old love and don't want to start, I will discipline you for you." Zhu Da glanced at the caravan and said loudly.
Zhu Da glanced over and Li Zhuang followed him. The people in the caravan who were seen by both of them had changed their faces, and their faces showed fear and flattering expressions. Some of them had already begged and begged.
Li Zhuang subconsciously followed Zhu Da and felt uncomfortable after he glanced around. He thought that this was my caravan, and Zhu Da was too much in charge. Then Li Zhu immediately came back to the point that no matter how much Zhu Da turned his back, he was always helping him. Zhu Da wanted to deal with the manager and the clerk of the Li family. Most of the resentment of the people they were dealt with was concentrated on Zhu Da. This is a business that only makes money but not loses money. If you can obey these people who cannot be managed, what is the loss of face?
"A few months ago, I met my old boss Li Xiu on the road. My boss took great care of me and once told me that if I have a destiny in the future, I must help Brother Li Zhuang and Li, so I must clean up if I am disobedient." Zhu Da continued to speak loudly.
When Zhu Da mentioned his old boss' name, the caravan also had a little more respect in addition to fear. The last trace of concern and awkwardness in Li Zhuang's heart disappeared. He was also present for his uncle Li Xiu and Zhu Da's night talk. Although the two sides had a good conversation, they did not say anything about entrusting or taking care of him, but they did not say it was okay. The people present were him and Zhu Da. As long as he did not deny it, then Zhu Da's words were true. Why should we deny such a great thing for our family?
The old boss's name is a great name, and Zhu Da is qualified to manage it. Li Zhu's request to manage it is not considered to be overtaken by the host, nor is it that his family's weakness can be bullied. Li Zhu looked at the crowd fiercely, pointed at a middle-aged man and said, "Brother Zhu, that person is not obeying discipline and disturbing people's hearts. We must deal with it well!"
The man pointed at was changing his face. Before he could react, the messenger who was signaling Zhu Da had rushed over and grabbed the person directly, pressed him to the ground and took off his shirt, and whipped him hard with a whip.
The caravans were silent. Of course, everyone knew who the middle-aged man was. He was the brother of Li Zhuang’s uncle and concubine. He relied on this relationship and refused to accept discipline and jumped up and down in the caravan. He was also the one who spoke coldly before, but he didn’t expect to be dealt with hard today.
When this person was beaten and taken away, everyone in the caravan faced Li Zhuang with awe. The young owner not only made the business, but also helped such a powerful person to support him. Everyone should understand the right position and know the good or bad in the future.
"Brother Zhu, where is the goods unloaded?" Li Zhuang asked diligently. The fear and respect of the manager and the friends made him feel extremely satisfied.
Their location is near Tianzhuang Warehouse. After Zhu Da's instructions, Li Zhuang immediately shouted to the crowd, "Out of the goods!"
With Li Zhuang's order, the entire caravan immediately took action, no one contradicted him anymore, and there was not even a person whispering in a low voice. They were all rushing forward and busy, not daring to slack off at all.
Seeing the busyness in front of him, Li Zhuang felt inexplicably. It was the first time since he took over the caravan that they had seen them so obedient. Li Zhu was stunned for a moment, turned around and bowed to Zhu Da, and said solemnly: "Although Brother Zhu is younger than me, he has helped me a lot. I should respect you as my brother."
Zhu Da patted his arm affectionately and said with a smile: "You came here, you prove yourself, now it's my time to prove it."
