Li Jing suddenly asked curiously: "Several, the fifth brother suddenly made such a grand ceremony today, and even sent a special person to the mansion to deliver the letter. Is there something important?"
Qin Qiong shook her head: "It's not known yet."
Li Jing turned around and saw Gao Chen, and asked curiously, "Eunuch Gao, why are you here? Could it be that His Majesty is nearby?"
Gao Chen shook his head: "Generals, Your Majesty is not feeling well today and has not left the city. However, His Majesty received a letter from Ping Xibo saying that the matter is related to internal funds and should not be careless, so I asked the servants to come and see..."
He even asked for internal funds?
Thinking about it, it must be a big deal.
Just then, a carriage arrived.
It turned out to be Changsun Wuji.
Li Jing and the others rushed over and asked: "Master Changsun, do you know why you summoned us here today?"
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was full of red, as if he had just married a dozen or so concubines, and said: "Several, the opportunity to make a fortune has come, and Chen Chu must have not forgotten our shareholders... As for the many, I won't talk about it for now. Let's go, let's go in..."
Changsun Wuji was in a good mood.
He left the cotton factory in the morning, and after returning, he immediately called together all the elders of the clan, and briefly explained that the Western Datang Company was going to open a franchise store. Many people have a hunch that cotton cloth will replace linen cloth in the future, and mastering franchise stores is equivalent to mastering cotton cloth, and will definitely make a steady profit without losing money.Changsun Wuji immediately arranged for people to clear out all the shops of the Changsun family in the county towns within the Guanzhong area. If there was no shop of the Changsun family in a certain place, they would immediately send people to buy it.
In short, Changsun Wuji has a big appetite. He wants to win franchise stores in the entire Guanzhong area, not even a single county can be missed.
As for other places, as long as the eldest grandson's family can get it, they will naturally not be polite.
Several people walked inside while chatting.
Come to the small courtyard.
Seeing Chen Chu, Cheng Yaojin asked first: "Fifth brother, I heard from Master Changsun that you have a chance to make a fortune by summoning us here in such a grand manner today?"
Chen Chu called everyone to sit down, nodded, and said, "That's right, the thing is like this..."
Briefly, Chen Chu's plan to open a franchise store.
Everyone is a genius, and immediately understood the trick.
Then Chen Chu said: "But the key point, there is another point, that is, this franchise store must not allow the big clans like Zheng's who stock up on cloth to join in. For one thing, I don't have a good impression of these people. West Datang Company To make money, you can't take them with you. Second, these guys were able to hoard linen before, and now they will also hoard cotton. Once the franchise store falls into their hands, there is no guarantee that they will not hoard cotton again..."
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said, "What's so difficult about it? Just tell the world that the Zheng family is not allowed to join? The same goes for other gentry clans. Anyway, the Baiqi Division has a roster."
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said: "Zhijie's words are wrong. Opening the door to do business, there is no reason to refuse others. If the West Datang Company wants to gain a foothold in the world in the future, this kind of thing must not be done."
Li Jing, Niu Jinda, and Qin Qiong all nodded.
If this is true, it will show that the West Datang Company and the Zheng Corporation are completely hostile.
In the future, if someone wants to do business with the West Datang Company, they will hesitate for a while.
It will not benefit the reputation of the West Datang Company in the slightest.
Cheng Yaojin was taken aback: "Then...then what should I do?"
Changsun Wuji laughed: "I'm going to ask Chen Chu...Chen Chu, you summoned me here in a hurry. You must have thought of a way, right?"
Chen Chu nodded: "That's right, there is a way, but it needs everyone's cooperation, and the way is simple. I plan to disclose the recipe for making cotton into cotton cloth, and it would be best if it falls into the hands of a rich family like the Zheng family. "
what?
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and others were all shocked.
Cotton cloth formula can be described as the biggest trump card of the cotton factory.
As long as the recipe is not spread, in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, only the West Datang Company will be able to sell this cotton cloth.
The money earned is unimaginable.
But Chen Chu actually wanted to hand over the secret recipe to others?
This is incredible.
Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "Boy Chen, are you not sick? How can you talk nonsense?"
Cheng Yaojin hurried forward, touched Chen Chu's forehead, and wondered, "It's not hot either!"
Everyone looked at Chen Chu in surprise.
Chen Chu couldn't laugh or cry.
He can't explain the principle of this cotton cloth recipe to everyone, and it's hard to say that this cotton cloth recipe can be made by himself soon as long as Mrs. Zheng is willing.
Because, even if you say it, no one will believe it.
Therefore, Chen Chu simply did not explain.
Snapped.
He patted the table and said directly: "Everyone, I have already decided on this matter, so you don't need to ask any more... This matter is specifically like this."
Chen Chu revealed his plan.
Changsun Wuji was dubious: "Are you sure you can use this method to make Zheng's idea of franchising?"
Chen Chu said confidently, "I'm [-]% sure."
Li Jing and the others looked at each other.
I only heard Cheng Yaojin say: "I believe that the fifth brother will not harm us, okay, isn't it just to clean up the spies, I will do this job, old Cheng."
Others had no choice but to agree.
……
Chapter 338 Zheng's Plan
West of the city.
Zheng Fu.
In a courtyard in the mansion, in the innermost room.
Zheng Chengdong, the head of the Zheng family, was sitting on a chair made of high-quality wenge wood, holding a walking stick carved with a lifelike unicorn shape in his hand.
Behind him is a painting of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, which is a contemporary masterpiece and worth at least [-] guan.
His son Zheng Feiyuan stood aside and said in a low voice: "Father, our previous plan has failed... It's okay for our Zheng family. We agreed to advance and retreat together, but once the cotton cloth came out, they couldn't sit still and started selling cloth one after another. Now, the price of linen has plummeted. This time, we have suffered heavy losses..."
Back then, the Zheng family had a clear discussion with other gentry who were engaged in the cloth business.
That is, everyone hoards cloth together to raise the price of cloth.
When the price reaches a certain level, sell it as quickly as possible to make a lot of money.
Of course, not all are sold out.
Anyway, all the cloth in this world is in the hands of these people. As long as they make a fortune, even if the price drops, it will not affect anything.
But now, other gentry clans have betrayed their original promise, and when cotton cloth appeared, they started selling cloth like crazy.
With the supplement of cotton cloth, the cloth in this world is no longer so tight.
Zheng's hoarding has lost its meaning, and he can only let the cloth in the warehouse feed the mice.
Therefore, Zheng Feiyuan hated his teeth when he mentioned other treacherous nobles.
Zheng Chengdong waved his hand and said indifferently: "My son, it is an eternal truth that businessmen seek profit. At first, they were willing to hoard cloth with me, Zheng, because hoarding cloth can make money. Now, with the appearance of cotton cloth, hoarding cloth Not only will you not be able to make money, but you will lose money instead. Who can you expect to keep the promise... You order, from now on, all Zheng's cloth shops will re-sell linen, and the price will return to the original price..."
what?
Zheng Feiyuan's eyes widened.
He hurriedly said: "Father, you can't... Back then, we had a lot of cloth in order to collect all the cloth in the market, but the high price was enough, and now we sell it at the original market price. A lot of losses..."
Zheng Chengdong shook his head and pointed to the table next to him.
On the table, there were several bolts of cotton cloth, and next to them were several bolts of the finest linen produced by the Zheng family.
Comparing the two, anyone who is not a fool can tell that this cotton cloth is many times superior.
Zheng Chengdong said: "Being a father is not such a stubborn person. In all fairness, this cotton cloth is indeed much better than linen, but the price is only twice that of ordinary linen. In the future, linen is in danger, so it must be cotton." The world... Now, the West Datang Company has just started to sell cotton cloth, we should take this opportunity to sell the linen cloth as soon as possible, otherwise, we will just lose it in the future."
Zheng Feiyuan nodded, and said bitterly: "It's unreasonable. It's all Naping Xibo Chen Chu. This time, he is clearly targeting me, Mrs. Zheng."
Zheng Chengdong waved his hand and said, "Son, this is your mistake."
Zheng Feiyuan was puzzled: "Father, why was I wrong?"
Zheng Chengdong explained: "Do you think that Ping Xibo Chen Chu, who is only in his early twenties, has the ability to deal with my Zheng family? Does he have the guts? All this is the conspiracy of Li Erlang, Li After Erlang became emperor, every government order was different from the emperors in the past. My father had already noticed that Li Erlang was born in a powerful family, and he knew the power of the powerful family best. It's just one of his killer weapons, in the future, there will be other ways..."
Zheng Feiyuan's eyes widened.
It turned out to be the emperor's idea.
Although a big family like the Zheng family is not afraid of the emperor, is it possible that the king's land is the king's land in the whole world, and is the king's subject on the shore of the land? , what is the way out for that gatekeeper?
Zheng Feiyuan was surprised and said: "Father, now that Li Erlang is not bad and kind, what should we do?"
Zheng Chengdong asked: "You know, why did Li Erlang attack my Zheng family first?"
Zheng Feiyuan shook his head.
Could it be that Mrs. Zheng is easy to bully me?
Zheng Chengdong said carefully: "Gein, I, the Zheng family, have always only focused on making money in business, but neglected talents. How many talents have you trained like Fan Yang Lu's family? There are three ministers above the third rank in the court, and the Lu family has three people. There are more officials in the government, and even in the army, there are more members of the Lu family. If Li Erlang wants to attack a rich family like the Lu family, he will worry about whether someone will rise up... But I, the Zheng family, ignore Putting this problem aside, no matter how rich a country is, there is no power that can compete with Li Erlang..."
Zheng Feiyuan suddenly realized, his complexion changed: "Father, don't tell me we can only be slaughtered by others?"
boom.
Zheng Chengdong patted the table and said: "Of course not. In the past, we went the wrong way, but in the future, we can't do this...Of course, the top priority is to solve the cotton cloth issue. His cloth business will be eroded by the West Datang Company... To solve this problem, the secret recipe of cotton cloth is the first and foremost. The West Datang Company can produce cotton cloth, but my Zheng family can't produce it. To tell you the truth, I have found a lot for my father. A skilled craftsman, he bought a lot of cotton cloth for everyone to study, but the effect is very small... However, there is another trick for the father, which is to send people to buy people from the West Datang Company everywhere, and let them steal the secret recipe of the cotton cloth. Come on, I will let you watch this matter personally, and you must get the secret recipe of cotton cloth from the West Datang Company at all costs, then my Zheng family will be invincible..."
Zheng Feiyuan's eyes lit up.
Zheng's already controlled about [-]% of the world's cloth business.
Once Zheng's can also produce face, it will be able to expand cotton cloth to the whole world in a very short period of time.
At that time, there will be nothing wrong with the West Datang Company.
Zheng Feiyuan said excitedly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely get this matter done."
……
at dusk.
The red clouds hang high in the sky, like the shyness on the face of a girl.
The majestic city of Chang'an was dyed with a layer of golden brilliance.
A carriage with an ordinary face slowly entered Chang'an City from the north gate.
On the carriage sat a thin middle-aged man in a blue gown.
He said to himself: "Who would have thought that I was just cleaning the table in Lu Guogong's mansion, and followed the second young master to Meishan. I thought I would be useless in this life. I never thought that I could be an engineer. Now, I He can be regarded as a rich man..."
The middle-aged man was full of pride and joy, and then told the coachman: "Go to Pingkangfang. Today, I want to talk to some fairies."
……
Chapter 339 Let's Get Rich Together
This middle-aged man is named Zhang Zhen.
In the past, he was a servant of Lu Guogong's mansion, responsible for cleaning tables and other tasks.
Later, when the West Datang Company was established, a group of people was needed, so Cheng Chubi brought a group of people including Zhang Zhen to Meishan and entered the West Datang Company.
Zhang Zhen worked as a weaver in the south of the Yangtze River before entering Lu Guogong's mansion, and he was sent to a cotton factory not long after.
After arriving at the cotton factory, Zhang Zhen was a blockbuster, and he was the first group of people who learned to play cotton.
After going back and forth, he turned out to be an engineer in a cotton factory.
Cotton factories use assembly line production, and ordinary people have no way of knowing the entire production process.
But if Zhang Zhen can't stand it, good luck.
A few days ago, he was ordered by Cheng Chubi to clean the secret room.
It turned out to be a batch of materials in the secret room, which had been damaged by rats and had to be replaced.
The original materials must be burned on the spot.
