From the initial publicity to the last step, Li Qi showed up for the first time. Qin Hui had always been in charge. Of course, Qin Hui's ability to do things was indeed commendable. Everything was taken care of in an orderly manner. What's even more valuable is that
, he still achieved this under the premise of strictly executing Li Qi's orders.
However, compared to that witch Zhao Jingyan, Qin Hui is still slightly inferior.
It was the first time for those petty officials to see Li Qi, and they couldn't help but feel worried. After all, Li Qi was so famous that he could write an article just for his official title, and he was still in front of the current emperor.
The most popular celebrity, this made those petty officials have to cheer up.
Li Qi, who was also full of official power, ignored them, walked straight to the front with Bai Qiannuo, and asked Qin Hui: "Is everyone here?"
When Qin Hui heard this, he almost fainted and thought to himself, you are already two-quarters of an hour late, how could it be possible that you are not all here? He nodded and said, "Sir, everyone has already arrived."
"very good."
Li Qi nodded, glanced at the crowd, and saw the anxious expressions on all of them, and chuckled to himself. It is really overwhelming for someone to be a high official. Such an easy-going person like me is actually so scary in their eyes.
He said loudly: "Dear colleagues---."
As soon as he spoke, he suddenly stopped. As soon as he stopped, the people below became extremely nervous. After a while, he smiled slightly and continued: "I don't know if it is right to call you colleagues at this time.
, but anyway, I hope this is the last time I call you colleagues. From tomorrow on, you should all regard yourself as businessmen, not just an official title that cannot bring any benefit to your life. Do you understand?
?”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but no one said anything.
Li Qi frowned slightly and said calmly: "Is it possible that I didn't speak clearly enough? Do you want me to say it again?"
Everyone was terrified and said in unison: "I understand."
"Subordinate?"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "It seems that what I said was not clear enough."
Everyone said in unison: "We will understand."
As expected, they all came from official backgrounds, and their ability to adapt to the changing circumstances is truly remarkable. Li Qi smiled and nodded, and continued: "Although I have never met you, and I have never gotten to know you, but I know
The people who can stand here are all smart people. Why I say this is because you have chosen a wise path, a path that suits you. Everyone has been faced with various choices since before they were born, choosing their own parents.
, choose what food to eat, choose what clothes to wear. Even choose what kind of woman to be a wife, you are choosing almost every moment in your life. And the only difference between smart people and ignorant people is that smart people know how to choose.
For example, those who choose to have children from wealthy families, not to mention their own abilities, because they simply need to consider this, because they are higher than others when they are born, and they have no worries about food and clothing since they were young. Why is this?
?This is because they will all choose. And you are the same. You have chosen a path that can completely change your life, and that is to go into business."
When he said this, he paused, shrugged, and said with a smile: "Perhaps some of you are thinking that you, Li Qi, are bragging. How can a businessman be as good as you say? It's so comfortable to be an official.
Wandering around, not doing anything, maybe writing a few words casually, you can get a salary, how comfortable it is, and you businessmen have to bend your back when you see an official. How majestic, I said
Nothing wrong?"
No one dared to answer.
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes. These are all facts. I have never denied it and cannot deny it. But what is the purpose of people living in this world? The most basic thing must be to have enough food and clothing, and then to be prosperous and wealthy, and to be successful. But
Have you ever thought about it, there are countless officials in the Song Dynasty. Sometimes there are even hundreds of people vying for a chance to be promoted. Who of you can guarantee that you will get this opportunity? Moreover, it also depends on seniority and background. In the end, it is important.
Talented people, if you are confident that you can climb up to the top, I will definitely support you in continuing your official career. Take Wang Fu Shaozai as an example, if anyone reaches the level of an official and still resigns to go into business, then
I can only say that your brain is screwed up, but there are a few Wang Shaozai in the world. If not, then you have to think about your future. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your family. Every time you
I know the monthly salary. It’s just a little bit of dead money. Is it interesting for a family to live tightly and even have to ask people to borrow money? And if you can’t get promoted, your whole life may go by in confusion.
, Life is short, do you think it is worth living like this all your life? All the ambitions you had when you were young will become empty talk, won’t you regret it? "
After saying this, the officials bowed their heads one after another, unable to refute at all. If they had the backing or the opportunity to be promoted, or if they had no worries about food and clothing, why would they come here to join in the fun.
Li Qi smiled slightly and suddenly waved to Cai Minde, who was standing aside, and said, "Executive member Cai, please come over here."
Cai Minde and Li Qi had known each other for a long time. As soon as they saw the expression on his face, they knew that he must be looking out for something good and hurriedly ran over.
Li Qi pointed his hand at Cai Minde and said, "Everyone should know this person. The proprietor of Feicui Pavilion on Bianhe Street, Cai Minde, is known as Cai Yuanwai."
Everyone nodded in unison, Jade Cuixuan was considered number one in the capital, how could they not recognize him.
Li Qi continued: "Normally when Mr. Cai sees you outside, he always has to salute and say hello first, but have you ever thought that this person who always has to smile at you usually has to pay for just one meal?
With one month's salary of yours, one piece of clothing from him can be worth the entire wardrobe in your house. If he just takes out 10% of the money, he can pile it up so much that not even an ant can squeeze into your house. Why do you look down on him?
, are it true that poor people have high ambitions? No, this is a sign of envy and jealousy. You are a typical example of saying grapes are good without eating them. Who among you dares to say that you don’t want to live a life like Cai Yuanwai?”
Just relying on Li Qi's words, Cai Minde already felt that the trip was worthwhile, and he felt relieved. He looked at the officials with their heads lowered, with their heads held high, and he still said modestly: "I don't dare to take it.
, Dare not move, the economy makes it too timid. Read the full text in the era of Fei Lengcui."
This old fox is so hypocritical. He told me before that he needed to relieve his anger, and now he says this again. On behalf of the moon, I despise him. Li Qi smiled, did not answer, and said to the crowd: "I believe everyone also
Everyone knows how Cai Yuanwai started his career, or how I started my career. Both I and Cai Yuanwai were chefs, and I don’t know how many levels lower than you. But let’s take a look now. I don’t know that our life is better than yours.
How many times, what is this? This is the benefit of being in business. If we can do it, you can do it too. In the world of businessmen, there is no such thing as seniority or seniority. What matters is ability. As long as you have the ability.
, you can do it. Do you know what businessmen are pursuing?"
Everyone looked at each other with a slightly uneasy look on their faces. It was obvious that they all knew, but they did not dare to say anything.
Li Qi hummed and said, "Don't you even know?"
The tone was slightly unpleasant.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd said: "It's profit."
"Yes, it's just profit."
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "You have to remember that for businessmen, only profit comes first. Don't talk about those who have something or not, a gentleman or a villain. It's all empty talk. If you say this,
No one will give you an extra penny. Everyone wants to live a wealthy life. This is understandable. The first step to start a business is to let go of the worthless hypocrisy. As long as you have money, others will look up to you.
You, if you have no money, huh, then no one will really care about you, and even your family will look down on you. This is a very realistic fact."
After a pause, he added: "Perhaps you will ask again, will I definitely get rich if I am in business? I can answer you for sure, no, absolutely not. However, compared to an official career,
You will get fairer treatment, and the requirements for entry are lower. Compared with farmers, you have more opportunities. If you want to get more, you must pay more. Of course, talent and opportunities do not matter.
It is indispensable, but at least your talents will not be buried. You get what you pay for, and it is the same for people. If you are capable, you will naturally get more, and if you are not capable, you will naturally get less. Very
Fairness and reasonableness, the jungle prevails over the strong, these are the laws of the business world.
There is a saying that goes well: the brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death. In the business world, it is taboo to be complacent with the status quo. You must want more and have the courage to create more wealth. Today, you may be just another person under someone else’s command.
Errand runners, I hope that in the future, all of you will be wealthy. The taxes you pay every day are the annual salary of those colleagues who did not choose this path today. I hope you can tell others proudly.
I'm a businessman. Tell me, can you do this?"
"able."
Everyone had already heard that the blood vessels were expanding, and the fighting spirit that had been dormant for many years had gradually awakened. Almost all of them were shouting, it was really hysterical.
"very good."
Li Qi smiled happily, suddenly pointed his hand towards Yuan Cai and said: "Call the proprietor."
This guy is so interesting. Cai Minde was so excited that his lips were trembling.
The officials were all stunned and felt a little tight in their chests. Li Qi's words seemed to be trampling on their dignity.
"Don't want to?"
Li Qi raised his long eyebrows and said: "I have said before that if you want to get something, you have to give it first. I often tell my soldiers in the military camp that only those who obey today can command tomorrow. In
The same is true here. If you want others to call you proprietor, you must first learn to call others proprietor. If anyone doesn't want to call you proprietor." He pointed his hand behind everyone and said, "The door is open behind you."
"Proprietor."
Everyone nodded and shouted in unison, no one had any hesitation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please
