Qin Huaidao secretly met with Shen Shen in the study. After a long conversation, he found that the other party had a clear mind, a clear purpose for doing things, and a clear mind. He knew that he was not in danger yet, and that he could only have a chance of survival by following the Duke Protector's Office. He decided to use this method He paid 30,000 yuan in advance to set up an intelligence network.
Originally I planned to use Lu Dongzan, but since "Zang Feng" cannot be related to anyone in the officialdom, and using Lu Dongzan would arouse Li Er's suspicion.
Not long after leaving Silent Secret, a servant came to report that Li Derjian was here. Qin Huaidao asked someone to bring him to the study. Looking at the dusty Li Derjian, he felt guilty. After pouring a cup of tea, he said: "Brother, I have made you feel wronged. ."
"It's okay, just to adjust my mood. The Qinling Mountains are beautiful. I've come and gone in the past few months, but I've fallen in love with this kind of life. Only then did I realize that my dear brother has actually created such a big family fortune. Compared with you, my brother is nothing. It is really unfilial to allow parents to live a simple life every day." Li Derjian said sincerely.
"Thanks to you these two months, I won't let anything happen to the transportation team. If there are no other arrangements, just be the leader of my transportation team. I'm going to expand the scale." Qin Huaidao said gratefully.
"It needs to be expanded. There are already two to three hundred people."
"Far from it. One team is responsible for transporting cement. It has stabilized after two months. There is no need to follow it every day. I want to form another team. You and Luo Zhang will be in charge. You are good at planning and Luo Zhang is good at fighting. What will happen to you on the way? Don’t be afraid. Set up a caravan to bring wine, soap, paper, tea, etc. to the grassland. Cattle and sheep are cheap in the grassland, and wool and cowhide are even less valuable. You can also go to Tibet, and you will get a hundred times the profit. I will give you two ingredients. How about red?”
"Traveling in a caravan?" Li Derjian's eyes lit up. It is inevitable to encounter thieves when traveling as a merchant. Fighting and killing are the most enjoyable and can also make money. The wine, soap and other items in Qin Huaidao's hand are good things. You can get two 300,000 yuan, once you have 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, your family will no longer have to worry about expenses.
Li Derjian felt a little ashamed when he thought about his family's expenses, which all depended on his father's salary. After he was dismissed, he had no salary and could only live in old age. His father also did not buy any property. The land he was given as a reward did have some rent, but where was it? He immediately said: " Okay, there are some soldiers in the house who are following my father and they don’t have much profit, can I take them with me?"
Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly: "You decide, as long as your health is fine, if you don't have enough to recruit, you can look for retired soldiers. All the expenses on the road will be mine. No one has ten cents a day. If you die in battle, you will be compensated two hundred officials. If you are seriously injured, you will be compensated fifty. Twenty injuries, unified standards, the house has made a hundred large trucks, you should know, it is enough."
"That's okay, I'll take it." Li Derjian agreed. If you can make money, you can also travel around the mountains and rivers, and stay away from the troubles in the court, so why not go?
Qin Huaidao pointed to a black bag next to him: "There is one thousand guan in it, which is considered as the hard work for the past two months. Don't think it's too little. The household has been spending quite a lot of money recently. Take it back and give it to your family. Uncle Geng Shi said, if he If you don't agree, forget it. I'll find someone else. If there's no problem, come over early tomorrow morning and find He'er, and I'll explain everything."
"Tell me the truth, are you considering becoming a caravan at this time?" Li Derjian pointedly asked. When Qin Huaidao nodded and said nothing, he understood clearly and stood up and said: "Then it's settled, I believe you."
After Li Derjian left with the money, Qin Huaidao asked He'er to find He'er and give instructions to prepare the goods and money. He'er was overjoyed when he heard that the warehouse in his house had not been stocked in the past two months and urgently needed to clear the warehouse, so he agreed.
"Young Master, Brother Xue came back last time and said he wanted to increase production. He hired a lot of people, and now the production is quite large every day. Although the Dongshi shop has been renovated, it is sold in limited quantities and cannot sell much. Can you expand the sales volume?"
"It can be doubled, but not more. The profit of Chang'an City is limited. If you extend the same thing in the long run, you can get more in Tubo, Jiangnan, and Bashu areas." Qin Huaidao explained.
"It turns out that this is the reason. It's because He'er didn't think well. Let's keep it as it is." He'er said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, double it. I've heard that many people buy it and resell it and make a profit from it. It's better to make the profit yourself than to let others profit as expected. In addition, let your sister-in-law pay attention to prevent reselling." Qin Huaidao warned.
After a few more words, He'er was left busy.
Qin Huaidao picked up paper and pen to draw. Wanhua Building has been almost decorated. It is time to make use of it. Of course it is not a romantic place. Although a romantic place is the most profitable, it cannot be done due to his status. Qin Huaidao plans to build a department store on the first floor.
It is turned into a supermarket, and the second floor sells furniture, coffee tables, bedding, etc., using a supply system, unified management, and unified settlement.
This comprehensive shopping mall model is very popular in later generations. Once it is completed, it will definitely make money.
After the shelf drawings were drawn, Qin Huaidao asked Jia Youcai to find him. He was worried about leaving this kind of thing to others. Jia Youcai was the most suitable. He carefully explained how to recruit suppliers, how to control quality, how to place shelves, and how to organize things.
, how to mark prices, how to prevent theft, how to train staff, etc.
Jia Youcai had never seen such a novel pattern before. It was like listening to a book from heaven, but he had great trust in his young master. He listened carefully and asked if he didn't understand. The conversation lasted for a long time. A servant came to report that Princess Yuzhang was here again.
Qin Huaidao was busy making money and had no time to meet him. He asked his servants to inform He'er to meet him and continue to explain to Jia Youcai.
It wasn't until dinner time that Jia Youcai finally got a rough idea and hurried away with the drawings. Qin Huaidao's mouth was dry and he drank some tea. When he came to the restaurant, He'er and Yuzhang were chatting and saw Qin Huaidao.
When he came over, Yu Zhang looked sad and had tears rolling in his eyes.
Qin Huaidao felt a little sorry and bowed awkwardly: "See you, princess."
"Brother Qin, are you feeling better?"
"It's better. The house is busy with affairs and I've been neglecting it." Qin Huaidao said politely and looked at He'er: "How are the dinner preparations? I'm a little hungry."
"That's good, let's eat together." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Yu Zhang.
Yu Zhang nodded: "I brought some ginseng here. You should pay more attention to your health. If you have anything to do, let the servants do it. Don't be tired. If there is anything I can do, just let me know."
"I will pay attention." Qin Huaidao smiled bitterly.
Yuzhang felt Qin Huaidao's alienation, and felt miserable in his heart. His tears couldn't help falling anymore. Qin Huaidao became more and more embarrassed. He didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. He was inexperienced. He looked at He'er, who picked up the napkin and handed it to him knowingly.
He went up and asked with concern: "Princess, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yu Zhang wiped his tears, but looked closely at Qin Huaidao, stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't eat here. I just came here to tell you that we have an engagement and will marry into the Qin Mansion."
, they are people from the Qin Mansion, everything is dominated by the Qin Mansion." He said and left in a hurry.
He'er looked at Qin Huaidao awkwardly, and Qin Huaidao smiled bitterly: "Send the princess off for me."
These words are tantamount to showing one's true feelings, but they are easy to say. Who can guarantee that they will not fly apart when disaster strikes?
The two sides had no emotional foundation and little trust. Qin Huaidao did not dare to gamble with the lives of everyone around him. Not to mention anything else, as long as Li Er knew that he had secretly trained hundreds of people in Chashan, he would definitely be able to do more, but without himself.
With the power of one person, I don’t know how I will die in the future.
Once Yuzhang is unguarded, who can guarantee that the secrets of the house will not be leaked?
At least before the wedding, Qin Huaidao would never dare to let Yuzhang know too much. When Heer sent Princess Yuzhang back, he bluntly reminded him: "Remember, the secrets of the house must not be known to the princess."
"The barbecue bar is almost repaired, do you still want the princess to continue taking care of it?" He'er asked.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "Yes, but it is limited to the schedule operation and management of the barbecue bar. The core technology and finance are not good. Princess Yuzhang is trustworthy and her heart is in our house. But if the Holy One asks about it one day, Yuzhang
Should Zhang tell her or not? Just don’t let her know to avoid embarrassment, understand?"
"I understand." He'er agreed with all his heart, and his heart was full of joy. It turned out that the young master was not angry with him last time, and he was willing to share the secrets of the house with him and let him take care of it. It was really good.
"After dinner, sort out the account books and let me take a look." Qin Huaidao warned. It has nothing to do with trust. He just wants to know which things in the house are losing money and which ones are making money. Those who are losing money should find out the reasons and adjust or even cancel them as soon as possible.
It's too big to be careless.
He'er also understood the reason and agreed wholeheartedly.
After the meal, Qin Huaidao returned to the study, and He'er asked someone to help move a lot of account books.
Qin Huaidao suddenly felt that he had made a stupid decision, but he still had to look through it.
