From Chief to Ball

"Then Brother Zhu didn't have any idea about this glass?"

"Ok?"

Hu Lin was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Jian strangely. Chen Jian spread his hands and said, "The glass made in my workshop is actually cheaper than the large glass on the market, and the quality is also good. I I was just thinking, since this thing makes money, and Brother Zhu is sighing about the business company, is there anything more profitable than reselling these glasses?"

"It's not far from Min City, and the Min River runs through it. There are many merchants in Min City, with a population of [-]. This kind of large glass is the right place to sell it."

Looking at the piece of glass, Hu Lin smiled and said, "Brother Chen is right, but I think Brother Chen's glass must be easy to sell. I really never thought about giving the glass to our trading company. a year..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Chen Jian.

"Brother Zhu Gan, you are wrong, how can it be for you? I mean, it is for sale to anyone. You can buy the glass from me now, and then go to Mincheng to sell it. After all, I also produce these glasses. Don’t you want money? There is a way of flowing water, so don’t try to exhaust the pond and fish!”

Hu Lin came to understand, nodded and said: "I understand what Brother Chen means. Although this trading company belongs to Brother Chen, and this glass workshop also belongs to Brother Chen, but the trading company still has to spend money to buy glass from here and resell it in Mincheng. "

Chen Jian nodded, and said: "Actually, it's more than that. I've been thinking these days that [-] silver coins are actually a lot. But only [-] and [-] out of [-]. The annual income is different. Brother Zhu Gan Do you understand what I mean?"

Hu Lin didn't understand what Chen Jian meant. Three thousand silver coins was indeed a huge sum of money in the eyes of others, but the money earned by three thousand silver coins every year could not meet Hu Lin's requirements. He also understood these days In fact, the more money you have, the easier it is to make money. Three thousand silver coins are more profitable than ten three hundred, but it is definitely less than one tenth of thirty thousand.

"What I mean is that I will invest another part of the money, but Brother Zhu, this workshop will continue to expand. It is impossible for me to invest all my money in charity. I hope Brother Zhu understands."

"Brother Chen doesn't need to say much, in fact, I am already grateful for the three thousand."

"Well, then I will use these glasses as money, and invest some more. If the business is good, I will try to invest [-] silver coins within two years. At that time, I can promise to spend one-fifteenth of the money for those poor and helpless people." In this way, the money for doing good deeds every year is actually more than it is now. This still requires Brother Zhu Gan to help Zhang Luo, and please brother Zhu Gan not to refuse."

Hu Lin smiled and said, "Why would I refuse? This is a good thing. Even if I'm not as smart as Brother Chen, I won't be able to tell the difference between big and small, right? In fact, if Brother Chen really wanted to make money, would he want to find some Isn’t it easy to be a shopkeeper who manages a business company? Compared with the money for doing good deeds, it’s much less, after all, brother Chen still has a compassionate heart.”

"You can't say that, I still have selfish intentions. Because of glass, the people who can afford it are definitely not those who are not even eligible to vote, but those who were before Brother Zhu Gan broke the door and left home. Or, I also heard that brother Zhu Gan studied in the capital city, and he also has many close friends, and the wealth in the capital city is much more than that in Mincheng, and that will be the place where the most glass will be sold in the future."

Chen Jian sighed again and said, "To put it bluntly, don't blame Brother Zhu Gan. You have been begging for so long, but is there someone to help you? After all, if you want to do something, you have to have money in your hands."

Hu Lin laughed and said: "I have already understood this truth. Since Brother Chen is speaking the truth, then I will also speak more straightforwardly. I support what you said very much, and I also like Brother Chen's clear words. Way. If you want to make money, I also want to make money. We may be different in what we do after making money, but according to what Brother Chen said, we are walking together in the process of making money. Don’t worry. It’s just not right now To make it bigger, first sell these glasses in the Mincheng area, and when the money is enough, our trading company will buy two ships, so that it can save a lot of money in the long run."

"And I can send some of these glasses to the capital first. I do have quite a few friends there. Their families are rich, so they will definitely like these things."

"Only one thing, I'm already thirty this year. After seven or eight years, if this business company has expanded and made a lot of money, I just ask Brother Chen to lend me some money. I still want to buy a piece of land and give it a try... …Try what I thought when I was young. If I don’t try, I will die, and I will always be unwilling.”

Chen Jian got up and saluted: "Brother Zhu Gan does not change his original intention, I really admire it. A gentleman said, a horse is hard to chase, eight years! Eight years later, if Brother Zhu Gan still does not change his original intention, I will support you with 1 silver coins , absolutely nothing."

Hu Lin thought that Chen Jian would hesitate, and even said that the castle in the air was out of reach, but he never expected that Chen Jian would agree, and suddenly he felt proud, and stretched out his hand to high-five Chen Jian in the air.

However, Chen Jian thought to himself, I am afraid that the whole world will change in eight years, when you are willing to try, find some people to go to sea to find a no-man's land, try it slowly, and use it as a lesson and experience for future generations.

After high-fiving, Chen Jian took out a pen and paper to discuss with Hu Lin the specific arrangements for the charity business company in the future.

At the beginning, Chen Jian had no money and no workshop, but he was in urgent need of fame, so he took out [-] silver coins and said that the annual income would be distributed.

This sounds excellent, but it also means that there is no possibility of expansion. From the beginning, Chen Jian was just a stopgap measure and a way to plaster himself.

With Hulin's personality, if he told him to set aside more than half of the annual income to expand the business company, he must understand and know it, but he might not agree with it—Chen Jian changed products for money and then changed more For money, Hu Lin is doing some compassion within his ability to invest the money. He understands the long-term but will not pursue the long-term, and even thinks that Chen Jian is perfunctory and deceiving him.

Simply put, Chen Jian suggested that, based on this year's calculation, if the income from these glasses is sufficient, the equity income of [-] silver coins will be allocated to the poorhouse in Mincheng; silver coins.

If the assets expand in the future, the income of two thousand silver coins may or may not change, but Chen Jian promises that it will only be a lot more.

The business company set up a special charity organization. Instead of directly investing the money in the poorhouse, the people in the business company will manage the money so that the money is really used where it should be used, and it must be done with great fanfare: Chen Jian said to do good deeds It takes a lot of fanfare to encourage more people to do such things, and by the way, expand the influence of the trading company.

In addition, more people should be recruited. It is best for sales, transshipment, transportation and other things to be composed of people inside the trading company, rather than handed over to others.

Unlike Chen Jian's sweatshop, these people in the business company, Chen Jian, thought that in addition to paying normal salaries, they could also distribute some dividends to the employees, which is called mutual benefit and win-win.

The workshop is the lining, and the trading company is the face. No matter how dark the inside is, no one will know if no one enters the factory to see it, but the trading company needs to expand its reputation in Mincheng.

In addition, Chen Jian urgently needs a group of hired workers who can stand with him and organize them to act as thugs, and such an organization must not exist in his workshop.

Chapter 53 Seduction

When Chen Jian said that he wanted to organize a group of hired workers from the trading company and prepare some sticks and the like, Hu Lin couldn't help but said, "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Jian spread his hands and said: "People are harmless, but tigers hurt people's hearts. The glass of our trading company must prevent some glass workshops in Mincheng from selling large pieces of glass, and our foundation is shallow. If the other party finds us Some city foxes and rats smashed us, so why don't we just let them smash it? Even if they don't smash it, what if they cause trouble near our trading company every three days? Originally, everyone didn't affect each other when transshipping goods, but now it's different .”

"is it so serious?"

"Blocking someone's way of making money is like killing your parents. It's always good to be on guard."

"But Brother Chen, you are blocking people's way of making money. If those workshops close down, what will the employees do?"

"I'll do it. Those who can blow glass, one counts as one, I want them all. What are you afraid of? The glass is still the same, it's just produced by another person. Those who run workshops can do other things, but those I can accept craftsmen and hired apprentices. Now my workshop can only produce large pieces of glass, but I also want to produce glassware, lampshades and other things.”

Chen Jian said flickeringly: "Let me tell you, it's actually a good thing that you can't keep those glass workshops going. Why is it a good thing? They can't keep going because of the high cost, so glass is expensive. Ordinary people I can’t afford it. Think about it, if the price of glass drops to the same level as window paper, what will it look like? Besides, if there is only one glass workshop like mine in the whole country, I can definitely give some money to those hired workers. Can't it be better?"

"But I don't dare now, why? Because if I send the money to the hired workers in the glass workshop, my cost will be high. If I can't sell it to others, I will lose money, and the workshop will eventually close down."

Hu Lin thought for a while, and felt that there seemed to be some truth to it. Of course, this truth was based on the fact that he thought Chen Jian was a good person.

Seeing that Hu Lin was already hesitating, Chen Jian hit the rails while it was still hot: "Actually, there are other uses besides our own interests of the trading company. Brother Zhu Gan, if you think about it, you are not here just to do some good deeds, right? You are from the county Members of the council, you have to put forward some suggestions that are beneficial to the poor, right?"

Hu Lin sighed, and said helplessly: "I mentioned it, but what's the use? I've been proposing compensation for the death of miners for so long, but it's still not as effective as those miners' protests last year."

Chen Jian patted his thigh and said, "Oh, that's it. You see, many things are moving forward little by little. There are actually not many things that can be won now. If you want to remove property weighting and land weighting, then you must Impossible, so sometimes you have to think of something that can be done and what the bottom people want. These are more important than the money donated to the poorhouse, and can help more people.”

"For example, compensation for death? For example, can you provide a minimum guarantee for one month's life after dismissing an employee? For example, at least some medical expenses after a work-related injury. This is all possible."

"What happened to the miners last time can only be said to be good luck. A few old aristocrats said something that shouldn't be said. What if there is no one? If I were the mine owner, I would spend money to buy a few people to mix in and incite Those people smashed, set fire, and even bleed to death. Do you think those individual small workshop owners will get bored? Will it cause the army to come forward and suppress the shock? Even if the shock is suppressed, they will be called mobs , many people will support it.”

Hu Lin had never thought about such a dirty thing, but when he heard Chen Jian's words and thought about the riots in the past few years, his body was covered with cold sweat, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.

"Brother Zhu, you said just now that you managed a business company with dozens of people, and it was not enough at the beginning, let alone hundreds or thousands of people taking to the streets, who can control it?"

"What if something like this happens again in the future? What if the nonsense of old aristocrats who don't open their eyes cause public outrage?"

Asking the three questions made Hu Lin feel emotional for a long time. He really hadn't thought about these things, and he hadn't thought that it would be so troublesome to organize some people to do something—far more trouble than he thought.

In silence, Chen Jian said: "So, we need to organize a group of hired workers. These hired workers must be strong and organized."

"What's the use? If there is another petition like this, this group of organized and strong hired workers can be responsible for maintaining order. You need to know which side is your own, and see if there are some unknown people mixed in on the way. Stop your own excesses and don't give people an excuse... These people are not used to beat people, but to stop violence."

"Of course, if the opposite party pays to hire a group of city foxes and rats, these organized employees can also drive them away. Don't worry, a hundred organized employees can disperse the same people. A hundred paid hooligans beat their parents and cried for their mothers."

"Now that the business company is under your jurisdiction, don't you want to do something more meaningful besides donating money to the poorhouse? Of course, it seems that things are still calm now. You can use the reason of protecting the business company to prevent it from being smashed, Recruit a group of employees who agree with you and trust you, work in the company normally, and organize to chat, tell stories, and talk after the break..."

"When there is a day when the wind is not calm and the sea is not calm, there are such a group of people, which can always prevent some casualties or being splashed with dirty water. If hundreds of people take to the streets in disorder, who knows what will happen ? Who knows if someone can be mixed in?"

Chen Jian stood up, took out a few booklets from a wooden cabinet next to him, and put them on the small table in front of Hu Lin.

four books.

"What can we win for the bottom in 20 years?Which ones are absolutely impossible and should not be striven for? "; "Knowledge is power, how to run an evening school?" "; "The Organizational Method of the Picket Team"; ".
