Chapter 046 Practice Boxing (The second half is modified)
After Yang Xu's words, Xiao Tang immediately saw the light. In fact, he had also read and compiled the ancient business scriptures: One is to know the place to win and choose the place to make money; the other is to buy when it is cheap and sell when it is expensive; the third is to know the future when it is clear.
, Predict to make money; the fourth is to make small profits but quick turnover, no one dares to live in high places; the fifth is to carve red and green carvings to keep customers; the sixth is to use righteousness as profit, and pursue righteousness to avoid wealth; the seventh is to be good at dancing with long sleeves, and to be good at doing business with more money; the eighth is to have a strange plan.
To win a war, you can make a fortune; the ninth is to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and to be careful when you are in trouble; the tenth is to choose people according to their power, and employ them with sincerity.
But just like many post-doctoral professors in economics and finance who are not willing to spend their lives teaching and writing papers in the ivory tower, although the economic trends and macro-control can be explained clearly, the theory cannot be connected with the practice, and those who do business personally will suffer a huge loss of vitality.
They are everywhere, but in contrast, there are many self-made businessmen with low academic qualifications but extremely high emotional intelligence and practical experience.
Yang Xu's advantage is that he has an extremely keen sense of business. He has a clear idea of how to make a living in any business, how to expand it, and how to stop losses. At the same time, he also makes the abacus in his mind crackle, rather than just applying Lao Shizi's business theory.
With this in his mouth, he has won the third taste of business legends such as Fan Li and Bai Gui. Taking advantage of the opportunity is like a beast of prey, and once he makes a decision, he will never miss the opportunity.
Xiao Tang immediately decided to order Yang Xu to take full charge of the dispatching and sales business. If he needed manpower, he could call dealers from the market town. Then he mentioned his idea to Yang Xu and transformed the car dealership business into a bodyguard agency.
In the Song Dynasty, most of the car dealers were just undertaking logistics business, renting freight cars such as Taiping cars and flat-head cars, and then driving out the front of the cars to carry whips. The safety of valuable goods was mostly left to the merchants to send their own personnel to escort them. This is a big business.
The wealthy businessmen in Dazhai can still hire a group of highly skilled teachers to guard the courtyard to deter thieves. In the environment where bandits are everywhere in Jilu and other places, small businessmen who do not have a lot of money to hire martial artists are suffering. Every time these people transport food, they will
When transporting goods, there is a risk of being robbed by thieves in the green forest. It is not uncommon for unlucky people to be killed and robbed by more cruel reckless people.
What Xiao Tang means is that on the basis of the logistics business of leasing trucks, we will also provide security services to protect the safety of freight people and property. The bodyguard bureaus that were popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (the Ming Dynasty had standard banks, the predecessors of the bodyguard bureaus) actually did not exist in the Northern Song Dynasty.
As a result, various business travelers either hired martial arts instructors or paid tribute to bandits entrenched near the trade routes. In other words, even the government could not guarantee their safety at this time of year.
Yang Xu, who was good at analyzing the pros and cons, listened to Xiao Tang explain his ideas and plans, and felt that this was also a way to make money. First, Xiaojiaji was originally a car dealer, and he was familiar with transporting cars and goods. Second, he was familiar with the road.
This time Xiao Tang killed the Nine-Headed Insect Li Shaohua at the Damingfu Market, and also made a name for himself on [hb liang road]. With his reputation, most of the people around him would be sold to him. Thirdly, this business is completely in line with
The current situation requires it, and there are no competitors. Once the escort business is started, once the business is opened, the market will be completely monopolized.
Xiao Tang and Yang Xu discussed the general plan of how to establish and operate the escort bureau, and also selected the most suitable person to manage the escort bureau's business: Jin Baozi Yang Lin.
Although Yang Lin's martial arts skills are vastly different from Wu Song's, and he is not full of evil ideas, he is the perfect candidate to be the head escort of the escort bureau.
In "Water Margin", this dear man is a jack-of-all-trades. As a young general of the 16th Horse Army, he has done a lot of work in infantry battles. He even took advantage of the chaos and killed the imperial guards during the water battle.
The instructor has accomplished extraordinary feats. He has distinguished himself among a hundred and eight generals in horse, foot, and water battles. Even though he is a pen-barrel gun, he can also slash with swords and injure enemy generals with arrows. Even from
In terms of luck, he was the only one among the heroes including the five tigers and eight beasts to recover from the illness after the crusade against Fang La. This seemed to bring him the attribute of a lucky general.
In addition to fighting on the battlefield, Yang Lin visited sentries and purchased supplies... It can be said that Liangshan's job was the most complicated. This has a lot to do with his many years of wandering in the rivers and lakes. According to current terms,
Yang Lin is a typical social person.
This enables him to methodically handle the large and small matters that the escort team encounters during the escort trip. As for being mainly responsible for the affairs of the escort agency, it is not how high his martial arts is, but how strong his reputation is that can intimidate the recklessness in all directions.
Rather, it depends on his way of dealing with people and his ability to deal with people in the world.
Even if he were older, it would not be suitable for a gentle and knowledgeable person like Xu Guanzhong to do this kind of thing. However, Yan Qing, who has a beautiful heart and a delicate attitude, may not be more suitable than Yang Lin to deal with rough guys in the green forest.
Xiao Tang and Yang Xu made up their minds, and then sent the banker to call Yang Lin and told him their plans one by one. Yang Lin thought about it for a moment and then said with a smile: "This business has a beginning, nothing more.
It's just asking friends on the road to sell face. Whether it's a relationship with the government or dealing with green forest thieves, as long as it's a greedy person, what's the unreasonable reason? Those strong men in Xiaoju Mountain Forest are not afraid of death? If they don't have to, who will?
Are you willing to tuck your head in your belt to get food? With the reputation of the young master in hb, and the face I earned in the world, at least in hb, I think this business is feasible. "
When Xiao Tang heard this, he thought to himself that Yang Lin really had a lot of troubles. He only talked to him in general terms, and he knew that the key to doing business in this escort agency was "harmony" rather than "fighting". He said to Yang Lin again: "
It’s just that Brother Yang has to work hard, and in the green forest, Brother Yang needs to go first to pay a visit.”
Yang Lin smiled and said: "As the saying goes: a person's heart changes his mind, eight taels exchanges for half a catty. The young master only entrusts me with important tasks because he thinks highly of me. Besides, it's just running errands and talking, what the hell!"
Xiao Tang then made up his mind with Yang Xu and Yang Lin to leave the business and the planning and operation of the escort agency to the two of them. After they left, Xiao Tang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
With Yang Xu, a business genius, taking care of the above matters, the accumulation of wealth of the Xiao family is bound to make rapid progress, right?
It is true that he does not have Yang Xu's ability to know how to prepare and use things at all times, and he is not as sophisticated as Yang Lin, but as the epitaph of the steel king Carnegie says: Lying in the tomb is a
Know how to choose people who are stronger than yourself.
But Xiao Tang still feels anxious from time to time. He is still an insignificant person in the eyes of the powerful, and there are still too few people available to him...
At the same time, under the north wind, a large number of carriages and horses were moving forward in an orderly manner on the official road of Daming Mansion. At the front of the team of carriages and horses was a rouge horse, and the one riding on it was a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
.
The girl carried two swords on her back, and her temperament matched the word "heroic". Although she was still young, there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that was not inferior to that of a woman.
"Sanniang, wait a minute." Another horse caught up behind him. Riding on the horse was a young man who looked very similar to the girl. He caught up with the girl and complained: "You are a girl, and you are already favored in the village. You tell me, you don't know how to restrain yourself even when you are out. This is already the territory of Daming Mansion, why don't you put away your swords quickly, otherwise you will have to waste your words if you encounter any suspicious officials."
But the girl dismissed it and said with a chuckle: "Brother is making so much noise, we are here to collect goods for business purposes, and also to protect the property of our village, what are the officials checking me for?"
The girl then asked: "Brother, why do we rush to Xiaojiaji if we don't go to Daming Mansion to rest? I've heard that Daming Mansion is prosperous for a long time, little sister, I still want to go and have some fun."
The young man responded: "The last few times I went north to find out how to buy leather goods and medicinal materials from the Bazhou Forge Market, I once settled at the Xiaojiaji. The Xiaojiaji is located on the main road leading to the Forge Market. Our Hujiazhuang will be in the future." If you are purchasing in large quantities, the Xiao family will be required to take care of you. Last time I met with the manager of his house and the young master's family, this time to show my sincerity, I have to pay a visit first."
"Huh?" The girl couldn't help but frown and muttered: "I can't handle being polite and accepting that set of false gifts. It's nothing more than flattering and boring."
The young man rolled his eyes and said: "I don't expect you, a girl, to show up. Besides, the manager of his Xiao family, surnamed Lei, is a shrewd man. As for the young master..." At this point, the young man's face showed a look of contempt: "He is just a fool who relies on his family background and a few fists to do whatever he wants. Even his bankers and tenants in Xiaojiaji secretly call him 'Beautiful Mastiff'" ', Why bother dealing with that kind of person?"
"How many fists and kicks?" The girl's eyes lit up: "So the young master is a trainer? Brother, have you ever fought with that brocade mastiff?"
The young man shook his head and said, "He was interested in sparring with me, but I pushed him away. Haha, he also laughed at my nickname of 'Flying Tiger' because he was afraid of his tricks."
"What!?" When the girl heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up: "The birdman still dares to laugh at the elder brother? Why doesn't the elder brother dare not fight with him? Well, now it's up to the younger sister to destroy that guy's majesty, otherwise He thought there was no one left in my Hujiazhuang!"
The young man hurriedly said: "Don't be reckless! What you pay attention to when you go out is to be friendly and make money. The skills of fists, kicks, guns and sticks are for self-defense and life preservation. Where are they used to make enemies with others? You must not act rashly or harm the Xiao family. Lost face.
And you are a girl. When you open your mouth, you will talk about the status of "bird man", "this guy" and "that guy"? This time, you have been begging your father to go out and see more. Now that your father is not around, As a brother, I have to control your behavior."
"Do you care about me?" The girl felt a little angry when she heard what the young man said. She raised her pretty face and said, "Okay, you have to beat me first before you can control me. What about the girl's family?" Really? Brother, you can’t even defeat a girl like me, so why do you show off your prestige?”
"You!..." The young man was choked by the girl and lost his words. He waved his hands in annoyance and said: "That's it! I can't control you, but you must also know that the entry and exit of this money and food is a major matter for our village, and we cannot help but return it. There are no taboos like in the villa, you can do it yourself!"
The girl snorted softly, why do you still need to teach me these principles? But I want to see that Jinmao Mastiff, and see how arrogant you can be.
