Qian Buqun, who thought about entering Yangzhou in a majestic manner, had already closed his eyes tightly, unable to bear the humiliation.
This is probably the most cowardly scene of a county official entering the city in history.
When they arrived at the county lord's mansion, Qian Buqun saw Liu Zheng leaving, and he became furious: "How can this not be reasonable? This thief is bullying me too much!"
"Where are the soldiers?"
He slammed the table and shouted angrily.
If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being!
However, only a few people came here sparsely. It is estimated that these soldiers are in their fifties or sixties.
"Where are the Yangzhou soldiers? Are you the only ones?"
Qian Buqun was about to vomit blood.
"Sir, don't you know? Hey, the soldiers are all running to the Chamber of Commerce to claim their money!"
"What the hell is this?"
"Stop talking, sir, we have to go too! By the way, what are you calling us for?"
Qian Buqun waved his hands helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay."
Several veterans ran away. Not only that, Qian Buqun discovered that none of the counselors and deacons of the county houfu appeared in front of him because of his arrival!
He even had some doubts.
Are you here to be an official?
Lord Prefect, that's not what you said! It was you who told me, look at Liu Dahao, who donated money to buy a county magistrate. Now he is so fat. In this era, titles are still very popular... So,
He deceived himself into buying a Marquis of Yangzhou County with two million silver.
That's it?
...
And look at the Liu Mansion at this time.
It was very lively today, and the threshold of the huge manor was squeezed through.
Liu Zheng had already asked his servants to prepare cakes, tea and wine, and distributed the copied agreement. It was the first time to start a company in this era, and it was necessary to let these people see it clearly. Zheng Yueru also walked among the crowd, patiently explaining to people
With.
The company's system, responsibilities, obligations, dividend model, investment shares, etc...
How much you invest, what kind of patents you can get, and what kind of status you get are all different, of course.
In order to attract these people, Liu Zheng even promised that as long as he invested a certain amount, the patents of Shen Gongfang could be shared in the future.
"Mr. Liu, can I ask a question? What exactly is a patent? What is the use of this patent?"
an old man asked.
Others also nodded.
"Yes, it's probably not difficult for others to imitate it, right?"
"How can we protect it?"
Liu Zheng understands this kind of problem very well. In this era, there is almost no concept of intellectual property rights.
He chuckled and said: "It's simple. As long as the fine wines produced by our chamber of commerce are used in our glassware, our soaps will all be marked with our trademarks! The same goes for our perfumes!"
This is another marketing concept!
Brand!
If you want to be truly branded, you must master core technologies, such as glass manufacturing. This is a technology that Liu Zheng will never allow to be leaked out. Then this matter is simple. If others don’t have glass, even if they imitate it, it is not real.
"Drunken Yinzhou"! Gradually, the concept of the brand is established in people's minds, especially in flower houses and literati everywhere. They must be made to feel that if you are not drinking the orthodox Drunken Yinzhou, then you are a loser!
Liu Zheng would even come up with some ideas for his trademark. For example, like Jiang Xiaobai in later generations, add some copywriting or poetry? This is another unique branding approach that can be deeply rooted in people's hearts!
Although everyone was still confused when they heard it, they could accept it.
"Sir, what is this soap?"
Someone asked again.
Liu Zheng said: "The bathing stuff is a hundred times better than pig's pancreas!"
The man continued: "Sir, please forgive me, this soap is definitely not as good as fine wine! You know, most people in Liangzhou can't take a bath several times a year!"
