The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But Jia Cong and Gao Mang finished tossing the data of the commercial street, prepared a lot of charts and materials, and told Gao Li: "Please all the important rich merchants in the city, the antique seafood restaurant chamber of commerce, and the important people in the yamen to come to the meeting to discuss the commercial street. site selection, and tell them how we operate."

Although Gao Li didn't quite understand what he meant, he said: "Let's make a decision and tell them, isn't it? There are too many people talking, and it's getting more and more difficult to make a decision."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "I want to show it to them in a fair and honest manner, so that they will be convinced. Don't worry, cousin, nephew can convince them." Is the young master trying to pretend to be good to others?Besides, on such an important occasion, with so many people coming, the person who passed the note to Gao Li would probably hide in the crowd, and I still want to find out who this person is.

Gao Mang laughed beside him and said, "Cong'er is eloquent, and he is good at putting on a show. This will convince everyone in the chamber of commerce to convince his father."

Jia Cong glared at him: "That's called aura, what an act!"

Gao Li saw that the two of them looked very confident, so he ordered his servants to deliver the message as he said.Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Wait! Make a post! Make a special post! And there are many other props to be made! Get some painters!" Then he began to ask for this and that.

Listening to his left and right, Gao Li simply waved his hand and said: "You two get it yourself, if you want money, go to the accountant to get it, I don't have the energy to take care of it."

Jia Cong agreed, and said: "You always draw up the list and give it to us, the sooner the better." Turning around, he pulled Gao Mang up and gave a thumbs up, and said in a low voice, "Your father competes with my father! They are both good !"

Gao Mang smiled and said, "How do you say that?"

Jia Cong said: "People of their age usually have the biggest weakness of being self-willed, unable to understand novel and effective things, and unwilling to listen to young people's suggestions. Thinking of your father and my father who are willing to let us do very little, seriously. It’s rare, and it’s bound to be a big deal.”

Gao Mang lowered his head and smiled.How can Gao Li not hear it?The old man twirled his beard and raised his eyebrows with a smile, and pretended to complain: "You two brothers are together every day, and you always talk about private things." Winking, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

A few days later, all the celebrities in the city received a very beautiful post, which was a double-folded seal, with a picture of wealth and auspicious clouds on the seal, and a small piece of rice paper was pinned inside, on which was written in block letters :

"It is scheduled to hold a seminar on commercial street selection and the economic development of Ping'an Prefecture in the next ten years at the Dahua Hall of Jiedu Mission Mansion at a certain time on a certain day of a certain year. I hope you will attend the meeting on time. You can bring an assistant.

Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi: Gao Li"

The signatures were written by Gao Li himself, and the old man complained that his hands were sore for a long time.

These days, who doesn't know that the three gentlemen of the Master Jiedushi's family and a young man from the Rongguo Mansion who came from the middle of Beijing wandered around the streets to investigate what the "commercial street" was, and everyone was inquiring about it.Now that I got this item, although I couldn't understand many of the words on it, but I knew it was something about the commercial street, everyone was very excited, and they all stretched their necks looking forward to it.The "assistant" who can only bring one person for each post has even provoked the nephews and effective shopkeepers of the bosses to fight over their heads.

When it was the right day, there were two rows of boys in bamboo and green clothes neatly lined up at the gate of the Jiedushi's mansion. When the horses and chariots came, some people came forward to greet them respectfully.The wealthy businessmen who came to the meeting were led to the concierge, where a gentleman in a Confucian robe sat, checked the posts according to the booklet, ticked one by one, and marked on the booklet "Master So-and-so and his assistant arrived at a certain time." ".A boy in autumn fragrance came out from inside and led the two to the flower hall.There is quite a distance from the gate of Jiedushi's mansion to the gate of Dahuating. Every ten feet apart on the side of the road, there is a T-shaped pole with the height of a person and a half. In big block letters, "Seminar on Land Selection for Ping'an State Commercial Street and Economic Development in the Next Ten Years" goes on and on.In the big flower hall, there is simply a big screen with a banner hanging on the screen, "Seminar on location selection for commercial streets in Ping'an Prefecture and economic development in the next ten years."

Jia Yingchun took a look at these vertical banners, shook his head and said "nonsense".Jia Cong said: "Sister, I don't understand! What I want is visual impact. It doesn't matter if it's vulgar or not. It's enough to make these people excited and looking forward to it before entering the venue."

There are no square or round tables in the flower hall, but only rows of small desks, and behind the desks are a handful of office hat chairs with four heads.On each table is a Mitsubishi column folded with white paper, with names written on it, such as "the head of the Ping'an State Maritime Chamber of Commerce" and "the assistant of so-and-so".And there is tea, but no snacks.The boy led the visitors to sit down in sequence.

Gradually everyone came together, Gao Li came in, smiled and cupped his hands with everyone, "Thank you for giving Gao some face, everyone is here."

Everyone said: "Master Gao has some great tricks, please let us open our eyes."

Gao Li said: "If we want to talk about this matter, it will be of great benefit to me in Ping'an Prefecture." Then he said what he could say about the "commercial street" that Jia Cong said that day, and then discussed it in a loud voice.He didn't know many details, so he only gave some generalizations, and said, "This matter is presided over by Gou Zi and his cousin Jia Cong, and let them explain it to you in detail." After speaking, he returned to his seat.

In autumn, Jia Cong calmly left the table with a feather fan and scarf, and bowed his head: "Everyone, Jia Cong is in the capital city."

Below, there was a shout of support set up by the Gao family: "Is it the three merchants of the Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "The youngest among the three Jias." Then he slapped the goose feather fan twice, and said, "I did a market survey with my three cousins ​​for seven days, just for this purpose." Next, someone lifted up a T-shaped pole and placed it on the left side. There were more than one azure-colored scrolls hanging down. The top one read "Feasibility Analysis of Commercial Street".Jia Congnai said, "Let's first discuss whether it is feasible to build a commercial street." After clapping their hands twice, the two young men lifted up another T-shaped pole, which was much larger, and there were also many scrolls hanging down. is a strangely twisted graph.Jia Cong said, "This is the curve chart of the total sales volume of antiques in certain markets throughout the year from last year to the present." He began to explain these charts in order.

Doing a PPT speech seems to be a thing of the last life, and it is not so troublesome to pick it up again.Naturally, such a big case has never been done in the previous life. At any rate, the form is novel, the data is clear, the charts are intuitive, and with the reputation of the Sanjia and the power of the Gao family, it went very smoothly.These charts and tables were all new to the sub-commercial firm, and everyone was surprised and admired.In addition, Jia Cong's verbal guidance was obviously a discussion, and the result of the discussion was naturally the result of his analysis with Gao Mang. Two adjacent downtowns were selected in Ping'an Prefecture to serve as the sea goods street and Luhuo Street.

Suddenly, an old man below said: "It's just that there are not many merchants in Ping'an Prefecture. I am afraid that I have opened so many shops and no one will buy anything. This will cause the shops to compete to cut prices, and the profits will be thin."

Jia Cong shook his fan and said, "Master Gao has his own plan. It will only take a year at most. More and more merchants will come to Ping'an Prefecture, and there will be more and more in the future. If you trust Mr. Gao, you can start Build inns and restaurants."

Everyone was in an uproar.Someone said: "I beg Mr. Gao to clarify."

Jia Cong said: "The time has not come yet. When the time comes, everyone will know immediately."

At this moment, many people who had just been dazed by Jia Cong's pile of graphs and data have woken up, and more and more people are looking at each other and hesitating.Jia Congnai said: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, then the first bucket of gold will be taken by our Rongguo Mansion and a few people who have more contacts. At that time, if you want to come in, there is no way."

He turned the cloth on the T-frame to the one with the map of the selected place, pointed and gestured: "These two streets can be extended, and subsequent merchants can open their shops here. Pointing to one of the cross roads, he said, "You can open some teahouses and taverns for people to eat here. This is a street for catering." He slid his finger along the cross road, and said with a smile, "Eat all the way, it's dark Now, this is Qunfang Tower."

The people below roared with laughter.

Jia Cong said: "There is another very important matter. There are many big bosses who run restaurants here, and I want to discuss with you." He said seriously, "If you want people to buy more things, the most important thing is to let people shop. It takes a long time. Since it takes a long time to go shopping, it is inevitable to go to the toilet." There was another round of laughter. "If there are customers who come to the restaurant to ask for convenience, I hope that you will not be stingy with the money for the dung pickers. People will only be empty when they have diarrhea, and they will only eat when they are empty! Your business will also be better. Is it ready?" The person below laughed more and more and turned his hair back and forth. "Humans, they all know how to repay you. And people have three urgencies. You solve their three urgencies, and they will come to your restaurant to eat and drink in order to repay your kindness." Gao Li was still sullen at first. , This time I couldn't hold back and laughed.

So far, the important things have been said.Gao Li came up to say something else, and the meeting was successfully concluded.

Gao Mang pulled Raja Cong aside: "Why didn't I hear what you said about the next ten years?"

Jia Cong winked: "The next ten years are imaginary. As soon as we have a lot of graphs and data, their minds are all on this method, so how can they care about this?"

Gao Mang said: "Although they don't care about it now, they will calm down and think about it from the beginning, won't they notice it?"

Jia Cong said: "I will think about it from the beginning, and I can naturally detect the plans for the next many years from what I said; if you don't think about it, forget it; if you don't understand, blame me?"

Gao Mang can't laugh or cry.

Jia Cong shook his fingers with a smile, and said: "I didn't say it clearly, but I discussed with your father not to catch illegal salt. In fact, I reminded them a lot. Isn't it just to let them build an inn..." He suddenly stopped talking, Seeing a person frowning, he pulled Gao Mang and said, "Hey, isn't that Zhu Tong who troubled me in Chang'an?"

When he was giving a speech above, Jia Cong had been secretly sizing up the people below and left and right the servants, and it didn't take long for him to notice Zhu Tong in the crowd.People from Lingnan Bailingen, when they were in Chang'an in the early years, used to test themselves for the princess of Prince Yizhong.Judging by where he is sitting today, he is an assistant to the shopkeeper of a restaurant.Zhu Tong sensed that Jia Cong saw him, and smiled at him indifferently.Jia Cong also smirked at him, but the smirk was extremely fake.

Gao Mang also took a look, and said: "Back then, Mr. Zhu wanted to use you as a gunman in order to vent his anger for his classmate and friend, but he was robbed by you, but he is quite convinced of you. This person is now my father's assistant, talented Not bad, my father valued it very much. His position should be specially arranged for him by my father."

Jia Cong frowned more and more.When Taijun Jia was celebrating Chang'an's birthday, he had not formed an alliance with the Gao family, so he did not disclose his suspicion of Zhu Tong and Zhu Tong's identity to the Gao family.Later, because the Bai family was also an alliance, they didn't tell Gao Mang about it.He thought for a while.The Bai family and the old man Gong Sanyi belonged to the same group, and they formed an alliance with the Jia family, and Jia Cong told them about Hong Kong for free, so they should be half of their own.Why did they bother the Gao family?

Gao Mang watched his face flickering, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Zhu?"

Jia Cong said: "Your family is also smuggling seafood in Hong Kong."

Gao Mang said, "Of course, don't you know?"

Jia Cong said: "Hong Kong is General Beringen's territory, and his brother Beringyi is in charge."

Gao Mang said, "I know."

Jia Cong said: "Zhu Tong and his classmate and friend Liu Qian are the ones who troubled me at the birthday banquet of my aunt and grandmother in Chang'an, and the eldest son of the prefect of Chang'an, Mr. Chen, all three are from Beringen. .”

Gao Mang was shocked: "Impossible!"

Jia Cong said: "It's true. He was the one who introduced me to Bai Lingen." Although it was the little princess who came up with the idea.

Gao Mang's complexion suddenly darkened.

"Ping'an Prefecture is an important place, and the Gao family is also an important family. It's not surprising that the Bai family would send someone over to find out the news, and it's not surprising that they sent an important person. Besides, this person is from Chang'an, which is more convenient than others. I The strange thing is, if he had the intention to hide this matter from your family, why would he just sway in front of me with white eyebrows and red eyes? I will tell you obviously. "

Gao Mang thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to my father now."

Jia Cong nodded: "I'll ask him."

The two split up.Gao Mang went to the crowd and invited Gao Li outside, while Jia Cong walked straight to Zhu Tong.

Seeing him coming, Zhu Tong hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Young Master Jia."

Jia Cong also returned the salute, took advantage of the opportunity to glance at the names on the cases, and said to the owner next to him: "Boss Qi, I want to borrow a word from Mr. Zhu."

Boss Na Qi was originally the shopkeeper of a restaurant under Gao's house, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Jia, please go ahead."

Jia Cong smirked and shouted "Thank you" to others, and led Zhu Tong to a deserted place outside the Dahua Hall.Zhu Tong sighed: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books! Mr. Jia is more unpredictable than before."

Jia Cong said: "Stop talking about these nonsense, hey, why did you come here? Could it be that you fell out with old man Bai?"

"Of course not. Presumably, Mr. Jia won't tell Mr. Gao about me."

Jia Cong said: "Of course I told you. He is my brother-in-law."

Zhu Tong smiled and waved his hands and said: "You won't tell. When you saw me, you must have doubts at first, and then guess what I came for. You won't talk casually until you figure it out. I'm afraid it will delay things. Our two families are allies. "

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Brother, we only met twice and met once, how do you know me so well?"

Zhu Tong said with a smile: "Because you are a smart person, a smart person must be cautious."

"I'm sorry." Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "There are many types of smart people. Some are cautious and some are not cautious. There are also those who are cautious when they are focused and careless when they are idle. Maybe I accidentally messed up your situation." .I just told my brother-in-law."

Zhu Tong was startled for a while, and finally his expression turned a little bit wrong: "The third master is not joking."

"How could it be a joke? I was surprised just now. Seeing my brother-in-law's expression as if he didn't know that you are from the Bai family, it can be seen that you deliberately concealed him; since you deliberately concealed him, how could you be so abrupt without even putting on makeup?" If you don’t wear it, just dangle in front of me?”

Zhu Tong said anxiously: "Since you know that I concealed it on purpose, why did you tell him without asking me?"

Jia Cong spread his hands innocently and said: "I didn't know you were hiding it when I told him, okay? You just wandered in front of me like this. I thought he knew, okay? I only knew by looking at his expression after I finished speaking." He doesn't know, okay? Come on, that's my brother-in-law! I'll tell him obviously! I only have one sister, okay?!"

Zhu Tong stayed for a long time this time, shook his head and said, "How could it be...Master Cong, you were still a child in Chang'an back then, how careful and cautious you were at that time, why were you so abrupt?"

Jia Cong curled his lips: "Of course outsiders must be careful and cautious. How can I be careful and cautious with my brother-in-law? I can't live with such a tiring life."

They only heard someone clapping their hands and saying, "Good talk!" The two turned their heads and saw that Gao Li was standing not far from them with his three sons, followed by a dressed-up man in charge. It's not a normal job.
