But he said that Jia Cong and Gao Mang had finished playing with the data on the commercial street, prepared many charts and information, and told Gao Li: "Invite all the important wealthy businessmen in the city, the antique seafood restaurant chamber of commerce and the important people in the yamen to come to a meeting to discuss the commercial street.
Regarding the location selection, we also told them our operating model. Reading at Lingdian."
Although Gao Li didn't quite understand what he meant, he said, "Once we've decided, can't we just tell them? People talk too much, and it becomes increasingly difficult to decide."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Originally, I wanted to show it to them openly and convince them. Don't worry, cousin, my nephew can convince them." I just wanted to show off to others, okay? Besides, it's so important.
The occasion was such that there were many people coming, so the person who passed the note to Gao Li would probably be hidden in the crowd. I still wanted to find out what this person's background was.
Gao Mang laughed and said: "Cong'er is a good talker and good at putting on airs. This will convince everyone in the Chamber of Commerce of my father."
Jia Cong glared at him: "That's called aura, what a pretense!"
Gao Li saw that both of them looked confident, so he ordered his servants to deliver the message. Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Wait! Make a post! Make a special post! And there are many other props to do! Again
Get some painters!" Then he started gesticulating about whether he wanted this or that.
Hearing him say one thing to the other, Gao Li simply waved his hand and said: "You two can get it yourself. If you want money, go to the accounting office to get it. I don't have the energy to care."
Jia Cong agreed and said: "You have prepared a list for us, the sooner the better." He turned around and pulled Gao Mang, gave a thumbs up and whispered, "Your father and my father have a rivalry! They are both good.
!”
Gao Mang said with a smile: "How can I say this?"
Jia Cong said: "The biggest shortcoming of people of their age is usually their stubbornness, their inability to understand new and effective things, and their unwillingness to listen to young people's suggestions. There are very few people like your father and I who are willing to let us go. Seriously.
It’s rare, but it will definitely lead to great things.”
Gao Mang lowered his head and smiled. With Gao Li's hearing, how could he not hear it? The old man twirled his beard and smiled, and pretended to complain: "You two are together every day, and you always talk privately.
" Jia Cong hurriedly laughed and passed away. He turned around and winked at Gao Mang. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.
A few days later, celebrities all over the city received a very exquisite post. It was a folded envelope with a picture of wealth and auspicious clouds. Pinned inside was a small piece of rice paper with the words "
:
"It is hereby scheduled to hold a seminar on commercial street site selection and Ping'an Prefecture's economic development in the next ten years at a certain time on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year at the Grand Flower Hall of the Jiedushi Mansion. I hope you will attend on time. You can bring an assistant.
Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedu Envoy: Gao Li"
The signatures were written by Gao Li himself, and the old man even complained about his sore hands for a long time.
These days, who doesn’t know that three gentlemen from the Jiedushi family and a young man from the Rongguo Mansion who came from Beijing are wandering around the streets looking for a "commercial street"? Everyone is inquiring about it. Come on now.
Although I couldn't understand many of the words on it, I knew it was about the commercial street. Everyone was so excited that they craned their necks to look forward to it. Each post could only have one person.
The "assistant" even provoked the nephews of the bosses, and the powerful shopkeeper broke his head.
On the official day, there were two rows of boys in bamboo and green clothes lined up at the door of the Jiedushi Palace. When they saw the carriages and horses coming, some people came forward to greet them respectfully. The wealthy businessmen who came for the meeting were led to the concierge. There was a man dressed as a Confucian scholar.
The gentleman in the robe was sitting there, looking at the posts according to the booklet. He saw one ticked and marked on the booklet "Master so-and-so and his assistant will arrive at a certain time." A young man wearing autumn fragrance came out and led
He followed these two people to the flower hall. It was quite a long way from the gate of the Jiedushi Mansion to the gate of the big flower hall. Every ten feet or so on the roadside, there was a T-shaped pole about one and a half people high, with one side hanging down from it.
On the sky blue cloth banner, written in big block letters, "Seminar on Site Selection of Ping'an Prefecture Commercial Street and Economic Development in the Next Ten Years" continued all the way. When we arrived at the large flower hall, there was simply a large screen with hanging hangings on it.
Banner, "Seminar on site selection for Ping'an Prefecture Commercial Street and economic development in the next ten years."
Jia Yingchun took a look at these vertical banners and shook her head and said, "Nonsense." Jia Cong said, "Sister, I don't understand! What I want is visual impact. It doesn't matter whether it's vulgar or indecent. I can make these people
Even before entering the venue, I started to get excited and look forward to it.”
There are no square tables or round tables in the flower hall. There are only rows of small tables arranged horizontally. Behind the tables are a handful of four-year-old official chairs. On each table is a triangular pillar folded from white paper, with a name written on it.
For example, "So-and-so, the head of Ping'an Prefecture Maritime Chamber of Commerce", "So-and-so's assistant". There was tea, but no snacks. The boy led the guests to sit down in order.
When everyone gradually came, Gao Li came in, smiled and said to everyone, "Thank you for giving Gao a face, you are all here."
Everyone said: "Master Gao, if you have any clever tricks, please let us know."
Gao Li said: "It would be of great benefit to me, Ping'an Prefecture, to talk about this." He then told what he could about what Jia Cong said about the "commercial street" that day, and then made a roaring discussion. He knew it.
There were not many details, only some general outlines, and he added, "This matter is presided over by Quan Zi and my nephew Jia Cong. Let them explain it in detail to you."
After saying that, he returned to his seat.
In the autumn, Jia Cong, with a feather fan and silk scarf, calmly left the table and bowed his head downward: "Everyone, I'm going to the capital, Jia Cong."
From below, Gao Jiashe's supporters shouted: "Aren't they the three nobles of Rongguo Mansion?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The youngest among the three Jia." Then he fanned his goose feather fan twice and said, "My three cousins and I did market research for seven days just for this matter." He gave two high-fives.
Below, someone lifted a T-shaped pole and placed it on the left. There were more than one hanging banners. The top one said "Feasibility Analysis of Commercial Streets". Jia Congnai said, "Let's discuss it first.
Let’s discuss whether the construction of a commercial street can be successful.” After another high-five, the two boys carried another much larger T-shaped pole, with many banners hanging on it, and a strange twisted picture on the top.
Cong said, "This is the curve chart of the total antique sales volume in certain markets from last year to the present." He began to explain these charts in sequence.
Giving a PPT speech seems like it happened a lifetime ago, and it is not that troublesome to pick it up again. Naturally, such a big case has never been done in the previous life. At least it has a novel format, clear data, intuitive charts, and the reputation of Sanjia and the power of the Gao family
Now, the whole thing went very smoothly. These charts and tables were all the ones the firm had never seen before, and everyone was surprised and admired them. In addition, Jia Cong gave some verbal guidance, and it was clearly a discussion, and the results of the discussion were natural.
It was the result of his and Gao Mang's analysis that they decided on two adjacent busy streets in Ping'an Prefecture to serve as the Seafood Street and the Land Goods Street.
Suddenly, an old man below said: "It's just that there are not many merchants coming to Ping'an Prefecture. I'm afraid no one will buy the shops I have opened."
Jia Cong shook his fan and said: "Master Gao has his own clever plan. It will only take a year at most. More and more merchants will come to Ping'an Prefecture, and there will be very, very, very many in the future. If you can trust Master Gao, you can start
Build inns and restaurants."
Everyone was in an uproar. Someone asked: "Please give me a clear explanation, sir."
Jia Cong said: "The time has not come yet. When the time comes, you will know immediately."
At this moment, many people who had just been dazzled by Jia Cong's large number of chart data have woken up, and more and more people are looking at each other and hesitating. Jia Cong said: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, then this first bucket of
I, Rongguo Mansion, and a few other people with more frequent contacts have taken possession of the gold first. Then if you want to come in, there is no way out."
He then turned the cloth on the T-frame to the chosen map, pointed and said: "Both of these two streets can be extended, and subsequent merchants can open their shops here." He pointed to the center again.
A crosswalk said, "You can open some teahouses and taverns here for people to eat and drink. It will be a restaurant street." He traced the crosswalk with his finger and said with a smile, "Eat all the way. It's getting dark. This is Qunfang."
building."
The people below burst into laughter.
Jia Cong said: "There is one more important thing. There are many big bosses of restaurants here, and I want to discuss it 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 you have to go shopping for a long time, you can't avoid going to the toilet." There was another burst of laughter. "If there are any guests who come to visit the restaurant to ask for convenience, I hope you won't be stingy and please pick up the excrement.
People's money. People only eat when they have diarrhea, and they eat when they are empty! Your business is getting better and better, isn't it?" The people below were leaning forward and back. "Humans, they all repay their kindness.
Jianzhi people have three urgent needs. If you solve their three urgent needs, they will come to your restaurant to eat and drink in return for your help." Gao Li had a sullen face at first, but this time he couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
.
At this point, the important things have been discussed. Gao Li came up and said something else, and this meeting was successfully concluded.
Gao Mang pulled Jia Cong aside: "Why didn't you hear what you said about the next ten years?"
Jia Cong winked: "The next ten years are imaginary. As soon as our large pile of chart data comes out, their minds are all focused on this method. 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. Wouldn't they be aware of it?"
Jia Cong said: "If you can think about it from the beginning, you can naturally detect the plan for many years to come from what I said; if you don't think about it, forget it; if you can't figure it out, blame me?"
Gao Mang was dumbfounded.
Jia Cong smiled and shook his fingers and said: "What I didn't say clearly is that I discussed with your father not to catch illicit people. In fact, I reminded them a lot. Let them build an inn, isn't it..." He suddenly stopped,
Looking at a person, he frowned, raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, isn't that Zhu Tong who gave me trouble in Chang'an?"
When he was delivering a speech just now, Jia Cong had been secretly looking at the people below and the servants serving him. It didn't take long for him to notice Zhu Tong in the crowd. Bai Ling'en, a man from Lingnan, had served as Prince Yizhong's assistant when he was in Chang'an in his early years.
The princess came to test him. Looking at where he was sitting today, he was the assistant of a restaurant owner. Zhu Tong noticed that Jia Cong had seen him and smiled lightly at him. Jia Cong also gave him a fake smile, but
A very fake smile.
Gao Mang also took a look and said: "In order to vent his anger on his classmates and friends, Mr. Zhu wanted to use you as a gunman, but you robbed him of his meal, but he is quite convinced by you. This person is now my father's staff, and he is very talented.
It's true, my father values him very much. I think my father placed him in that position."
Jia Cong's brows tightened even more. When Jia Taijun celebrated his birthday in Chang'an, he and the Gao family had not yet formed an alliance, so he did not tell the Gao family about his suspicion of Zhu Tong and Zhu Tong's identity. Later, because the Bai family was also an ally, he
He didn't tell Gao Mang about it. He thought about it for a while. The Bai family and the old man Gong Sanyi were in the same group, and they also formed an alliance with the Jia family. Jia Cong even told them about the place in Hong Kong for free. In fact,
They should be half of our own people. Why did they bother the Gao family?
Gao Mang looked at his face and asked, "What's 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 Bering Yi is in charge."
Gao Mang said: "I know."
Jia Cong said: "Zhu Tong, his classmate and friend Liu Qian, the one who made trouble for me at my aunt's birthday banquet in Chang'an, and the eldest son of the prefect of Chang'an, Mr. Chen, are all Beringen's people."
.”
Gao Mang was shocked: "Impossible!"
Jia Cong said: "It's true. It was he who recommended Beringen to me."
Gao Mang's face 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 here to inquire about the news, and it's not surprising that they sent an important person. What's strange to me is that if he has the intention to be in front of your family
Hiding this matter, why are you just waving 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."
Jia Cong nodded: "I'll ask him himself."
The two of them went their separate ways. Gao Mang went to the crowd to invite Gao Li outside, while Jia Cong walked straight towards Zhu Tong.
When Zhu Tong saw him coming, he quickly stood up and bowed: "Master Jia."
Jia Cong also returned the greeting, took advantage of the opportunity to glance at the names on the cases, and said to his boss next to him: "Boss Qi, I would like to borrow a word from Mr. Zhu."
Boss Na Qi, who was originally the shopkeeper of a restaurant under the Gao family, quickly raised his hands and said, "Please, Mr. Jia."
Jia Cong faked a smile and shouted "Thank you" to others, and led Zhu Tong to a deserted place outside the big flower hall. Zhu Tong sighed: "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! Third Master, compared with back then,
It’s becoming more and more unpredictable.”
Jia Cong said: "Don't talk about these falsehoods for now. Hey, why did you come here? Didn't you have a falling out with Old Man Bai?"
"Of course not. I guess 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 hand and said, "You won't tell me. When you see me, you will be doubtful at first and then guess what I am here for. You won't talk casually until you understand it, for fear of delaying the matter."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Brother, we have only met twice and been in contact once. How come you know me so well?"
Zhu Tong said proudly: "Because you are a smart person, and smart people must be cautious."
"Then 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, and some are cautious when they are focused and careless when they are wandering around. Maybe I accidentally messed up your situation.
.I just told my brother-in-law."
Zhu Tong was startled for a moment, and finally his face looked a bit wrong: "Third Master, you are not joking."
"How could it be a joke? I was still surprised just now. My brother-in-law looked as if he didn't know you were from the Bai family. It shows that you deliberately concealed him. Since you deliberately concealed him, how could you be so abrupt without even putting on makeup?
Are you just hanging in front of me if you don’t bring it with you?”
Zhu Tong said anxiously: "Since you knew that I deliberately concealed it, why did you tell him without asking me?"
Jia Cong innocently spread his hands and said, "I didn't know you were hiding it when I told him, okay? You were just hanging around in front of me, and I thought he knew about it, okay? I didn't know until I saw his expression after I finished speaking.
He doesn’t know, okay? Come on, that’s my brother-in-law! I will obviously tell him! I only have one biological sister, okay?!”
Zhu Tong stayed for half a day this time, shook his head and said: "How could it be... Mr. Cong, you were still a child in Chang'an back then. You were so meticulous and cautious back then, how could you be so abrupt?"
Jia Cong curled his lips: "Of course you have to be careful and careful with outsiders. How can you be careful with your own brother-in-law? I can't survive such a tiring life."
They heard someone stroking their hands and saying, "Well said!" The two of them turned around and saw Gao Li and his three sons standing not far away from them, followed by a man dressed as a manager.
