Specific to Cao Sanxi, this person was not willing to dig in the soil for food. When he was in his twenties, he went to do business near today's Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province.

His first business was to sell tofu, and then he used bean dregs to raise pigs and pig manure to grow beans, thus forming a closed-loop production. In addition, the place where Chaoyang is located is the border between Han, Mongolia, and Manchu. Business and trade

Developed. Although this place is close to Jinzhou, it is still far away from the military strategic line of Jinzhou-Shanhaiguan. Therefore, the repeated battles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not have much impact on it. Therefore, when the historical plane was completed in 1644

When the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, the Cao family was already very wealthy in Chaoyang County.

It is undeniable that when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs in 1644, Cao Sanxi took the initiative to provide rations to the Manchu army and helped transport them. But at that time, what else could you ask a businessman to do? At least from the time Cao Sanxi was in Chaoyang

During the thirty or forty years from his establishment until the Qing Dynasty entered the country, he never transported prohibited goods and laundered money for the Qing Dynasty like the eight imperial merchants.

If we must stick to this point and pursue the quality of Cao Sanxi too much, then Zhu Youdong should commit suicide first: there is no doubt that there must be a prerequisite for him to be able to live in the Celestial Dynasty for decades before traveling through time.

His ancestors must have shaved their heads during the Qing Dynasty.

In short, this is a business wizard. As for the moral issue, haha, under the influence of the time traveler, it is still a question whether the country name is clear. Not to mention the Cao family, it is unlikely that the eight imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty will appear.

"Well, Cao Sanxi, after seeing a few of Gu's shops, what do you think?"

Cao Huachun was very effective in doing things. He quickly grabbed a young eunuch from Shanxi outside and came in. In this way, as the communication time extended and there were people beside him to help, the two sides were finally able to communicate normally.

"Your Highness Taisun, ordinary people dare to say something."

"Well, you say."

"His Highness's soaps are excellent, but the goods are still too single. Since Shuangji is a department store, we should buy more items and sell them in the store. After all, the owner of this store is Taisun, and he wants to sell them all over the world.

It is not difficult to buy all kinds of specialties. Therefore, it is a top priority to make the name of the department store worthy of its name as soon as possible. After all, there are still a few people who go out specifically for soap, and more noble people with money and leisure are messing around.

Only when the store has a wide variety of goods can the first thing these people think of when they go out is to visit Shuangji."

"Any more?"

"Well, Cao Min has seen in several shops in the past few days that the waiters are very polite to the customers who come to the store. But Cao Min can feel this kind of politeness. It's just an act. It doesn't come from the heart. In fact, Cao Min

I believe that customers who come to the store can also feel it. It’s just that soap can only be purchased in a few stores now, so you have to come to your door.”

"Well, Cao Sanxi, seeing the problem is not your skill, but how to solve it is."

"Yes, what Your Highness said is reasonable. This is why Cao Min asked to see Shuangji's boss many times." At this point, Cao Sanxi couldn't help but took a few steps forward. Cao Huachun beside Zhu Youdong couldn't help but frowned. But looking at

After Zhu Youdong waved his hand gently, he still endured it.

"Your Highness, Cao Min now has a shop in Chaoyang in western Liaoning, which mainly sells tofu. This business has just started, and it is not very good. If His Highness trusts Cao Min and allows Cao Min's shop to also sell soap, Cao Min can guarantee that the annual payment to His Highness will be

At least 20% of Uncle Ningyuan’s family!”

Speaking of the auction for the soap distribution rights, it was actually more of a competition among the rich and powerful in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the sales rights in Sichuan are said to be sold to a businessman named Zhu, but in fact the person standing behind this person is not the King of Shu. Like North Zhili, there is no prince in South Zhili. So the sales in South Zhili

Naturally, the power was taken away by the Duke of Wei. As for Liaodong? Of course it was Li Chengliang's Ning Yuanbo's mansion.

That's why Cao Sanxi said that he was confident that in one county, his sales volume would not be less than 20% of that of Ningyuan Bofu, which had obtained the distribution rights for the entire Liaodong area.

"Haha, you even know that the businessman named Li Lian is standing behind Uncle Ning Yuan. It seems that he put a lot of thought into it."

"It makes His Highness laugh. When people like ordinary people come out to do business, they must watch their actions and understand clearly the backgrounds of their opponents. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will die without a burial place."

Cao Sanxi was not exaggerating in his words, and Zhu Youdong also felt that what he said was right.

In the words of Mr. Huang Renyu, a later generation, as a businessman in the Ming Dynasty, it was not a big deal to start a business on a small scale, but once you reached a certain scale, you had to actively invite powerful people to take shares. Otherwise, your family would be ruined sooner or later - the powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were quite shameless.

, has never had the concept and awareness to serve businessmen.

Therefore, all the big businessmen of the Ming Dynasty were not easy to deal with. In terms of history, it was extremely difficult for several emperors in the late Ming Dynasty to collect business taxes. The root cause was the excessive entanglement of power and money.

Of course, although he is a time traveler, he is still young after all. It is not Zhu Youdong's turn to worry about these problems. So at this moment, he smiled and said to the person opposite: "Cao Sanxi, what did you just say?

Let's forget about selling soap in Chaoyang. After all, we gave the exclusive rights to Liaodong to Uncle Ning Yuan, so I can't live up to my words. However, you are really a talent, how about it? Do you dare to give up that shop in Chaoyang and go to Gu?

Are you here to do the work?"

"The common people are lucky to be able to serve His Highness Taisun. However, the common people still want to be their own boss."

"How dare you! How dare you be so disrespectful! Master, what can you say to such a guy? I will take him to the East Factory later and turn this guy into a flower in a short time."

Very good, Cao Daban, a pretty guy, sings well.

Looking at Cao Huachun with admiration, Zhu Youdong said: "Hey, buddy, don't say that. As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. If a businessman never insists on being his own boss,

That’s bound to not work out well.”

After saying this, Zhu Youdong stood up: "Cao Sanxi."

"The grassroots are here." This voice, compared with the confident and arrogant voice just now, already sounded a bit trembling - after all, people in this era are still powerless to resist the imperial power.

"Gu is going to open another shop in the capital, and you will be the shopkeeper! Gu will send you some waiters, but if you are not satisfied, you can change them yourself. Gu understands your ambition to be your own boss, so Gu and

You make a half-year appointment. If within half a year, the shipment volume of the store you manage exceeds the annual sales volume of any of the other six stores, I will give you a share of the stock and make your manager happy.

All sales of department stores in Beizhili... Ten years later, if you still want to be your own boss, I will give you a sum of money to open your own store. Is that okay? "

"His Royal Highness Taisun is so benevolent that the common people will burst into tears and will definitely do their best to serve Taisun!"

Zhu Youdong was very happy to have secured one of the best professional managers of this era. Of course, after being the grandson for so many years, he still had the basics. If he would have shouted something like "I have a great talent today" If it's similar, I guess all of his teachers would be unhappy.

He helped Cao Sanxi up and was about to say some words of encouragement. A young eunuch hurriedly ran in: "Please tell me, my lord, the emperor has sent a slave to deliver a message, asking you to go to Qianqing Palace as soon as possible."

"Oh, okay, come here, let me change my clothes. Is there anything urgent about Grandpa Huang?"

"Well, your Majesty asked your slave to tell me that the Chief of Ceremonies received more than two hundred magazines today, and they all said bad things about Shuangji Department Store."
