The sign of Hot Spring Salt Company is hung outside the gate of Laojun Temple.
In later generations, Su Ren always hoped to have his own company. This time, he finally got his wish. Not only did he have his own company, but it was also state-owned. How could he be unhappy? With the help of Leng Jun and Huo Laosi overnight,
Next, I made a long sign and hung it at the door of Laojun Temple early in the morning.
Hot Spring Salt Company. The big characters with dragons and phoenixes are Leng Yue's handwriting. This little woman looks petite and weak, but the words she writes are actually powerful. According to Su Ren's original plan, he planned to invite two partners to the county magistrate.
He and the county lieutenant all came to hold another cutting ceremony. Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. No one from the deep mountains and forests came to see the excitement, not to mention that his own funds were limited, so he couldn't go to such trouble.
"Master, what is this company?" Huo Laosi also knew how to read, which surprised Su Ren.
"It's a company! It's a company of the public. Have you ever heard of the Military Department or the Document Department? Having this brand means that we are operating legally." Su Ren explained casually and took out the certificate given by the county magistrate.
, handed it to Huo Laosi: "Fourth brother, you have another task today, which is to find someone to frame this salt voucher and hang it in the door of our accounting room so that everyone who comes to sell the salt can see it."
"Yes, yes! This is serious business. Seeing this thing makes me feel at ease." Huo Laosi quickly put the salt away carefully. Su Ren gave him dozens more coins, kicked the money and went to do things.
Leng Jun didn't like hanging such a nondescript thing at the entrance of Laojunguan. The beautiful door was completely ruined by this piece of wood. If the master came back now, it would be strange if he couldn't be beaten to death. Last night, Su Ren and Leng Jun talked about it
For a long time, the two of them argued about hanging the plaque. In the end, Leng Jun was the only one left to be the opposition, and he gave up.
He glanced at Su Ren and frowned coldly: "What exactly did you talk to Hou Jian last night? Why did Hou Jian agree to you selling salt?"
Su Ren smiled: "I didn't say anything. The oranges from Hou Jian's family were delicious. I ate a big plate. Then we talked about the oranges from Hou Jian's family. He wanted to sell them for five yuan each. I counter-offered one yuan, and then we settled on that."
Already."
"Oranges? Did you just say oranges?" Leng Jun wouldn't believe it even if he beat him to death. The two of them settled on selling salt just by mentioning oranges.
Su Ren nodded: "I just said oranges!"
Everything was ready, just waiting for the good news from Huo Laosi. In the afternoon, Huo Laosi came back with the mounted salt certificate. As soon as he entered the door, he had a smile on his face: "Master, your words are really accurate.
, I told those former brothers, and no one said anything. They will come tomorrow. They also went to the dental shop and found thirty people who cook salt. They will also come tomorrow. Look at how the salt is framed.
How? I found the best poster craftsman in the county, and it cost three yuan! I hate it so much that my teeth hurt."
"Three coins, not much!" Su Ren laughed loudly, holding the salt bag in both hands, and the proud look on his face was beyond words.
There were a lot of empty rooms in Lao Junguan, so he found one at random, hung the salt voucher on the back wall, brought a table and a chair and placed them at the door of the room. This became the office of the Hot Spring Salt Company.
Early the next morning, Su Ren got up early. Before he finished eating, he heard someone calling the door outside the Taoist temple. Huo Laosi quickly put down his rice bowl, opened the door and saw seven or eight former private salt dealers. Su Ren secretly thought
I thought to myself, that Hou Jian's methods are really extraordinary, he speaks and does things so neatly, and he can let go so easily, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Fourth brother, we are here to get salt today. As you know, there are many big families in the villages that our brothers are assigned to. People say that if the salt is not good, they will not even buy a tael!"
Huo Laosi chuckled and patted the man on the shoulder: "Brother, don't worry, brother, when did I lie to you? Wait a moment, I will call my master."
Su Ren took a square step and poked his teeth with a toothpick. He hadn't brushed his teeth for a long time, and his teeth felt uncomfortable. Huo Laosi quickly introduced them to several people. Su Ren didn't remember the names of those people, but he
It is certain that these people had Hou Jian's order before they dared to blatantly come to Laojun Temple to remove salt.
It was very uncomfortable to write with a brush, and Su Ren was not very good at it. As a general manager, how could he do this kind of thing himself? Leng Yue became the financial director, registering everyone's name one by one and writing down the amount of salt they wanted. Huo
Lao Si, the general manager of the warehouse, distributed each person according to the weight. Su Ren moved a chair and placed it under the tree in the yard. While drinking water, he watched the salt sellers coming and going.
One hundred kilograms of salt was indeed not enough for these people, and those who came after them could only go back empty-handed. Looking at the white salt that the people around them brought out, they beat their chests one by one, why couldn't they get up earlier, and now
It's not like I'm left empty-handed.
There are quite a few private salt dealers controlled by Hou Jian, forty or fifty of them came in one morning. According to what Huo Laosi said, some people from far away might not be able to arrive until tomorrow.
Su Ren bowed to those who had not received the salt: "Everyone, I'm really sorry. Our company has just opened and the supply is not very sufficient. In this way, we will have all the salt ready next month. You can open up and get the salt.
Let me tell you one more thing, the price of this salt must be controlled well, and we must not make any mistakes, otherwise our company's brand name will be gone, and your jobs will be unstable."
"Young master Su said yes, I'll note it down!"
Su Ren cooked the food himself, using the same wild vegetables and white rice. He used Lao Junguan's stove, and with the help of Huo Qianshi, he made a pot of rice and stewed a piece of wild boar meat that Leng Jun had brought back in the morning. A big bowl.
On top of the rice, there is a big spoonful of wild boar soup. Everyone who comes to Laojun Temple has a share. Those private salt dealers have never tasted such delicious food. There is no difference in the rice, but the wild boar soup is very mellow and fragrant.
The taste on rice is intoxicating. I never imagined that this kind of cheap meat could be so delicious.
After a whole day of busy work, the private salt dealers were finally sent away. Everyone in Laojun's view felt as if they were exhausted. Lying on the Eight Immortals table like a dog, Huo Laosi laughed: "Master, don't say anything else.
Just for your bowl of pork rice, there will definitely be more people coming next month than today."
"If I don't do it anymore, I won't do it again. This time is enough! I'm not their father and I have to feed them. I just sell salt next month and don't care about eating!"
Leng Jun and Hawking each held a big bone in their hands and were gnawing vigorously, their mouths full of oil. Leng Jun smiled and said: "Not to mention, what you make is very delicious. I used to think that your family is a profiteer, but now it seems that it is
A profiteer who runs a liquor store."
"You are the profiteer!" Su Ren glared at Lengjun: "You also saw it today. My business is innocent. How come you become a profiteer when it comes out of your mouth? It's really like a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory.
Come."
"How come there are ivory in the dog's mouth?" Hawking stared at Su Ren with big eyes: "It should be that the dog's mouth cannot spit out the tusks."
"Pfft!" Su Ren, who had just taken a sip of water, spit it out. Leng Jun hit Hawking on the head with the big bone in his hand: "Go away, don't come to me to learn martial arts tomorrow, you brat even scolded the master.
.”
Hou Jian suddenly arrived, which surprised Su Ren. Two big horses stopped at the gate of Laojun Temple, and after taking a look at the sign of Hot Spring Salt Company, Hou Jian laughed loudly: "Oh, Mr. Su is still good at doing business. Look at it now."
I know this place sells salt, but I don’t know what this company is?”
"Seeing laughter and laughter, the captain of the school is here to welcome you and atone for your sins."
"You're welcome, Mr. Su!"
He entered the house and poured water. The others knew that these two people had something to say, so they consciously avoided them.
Hou Jian looked at Su Ren and smiled: "I've heard about the grand event that Laojun watched today. It really makes me envious. I feel that the oranges I sell are a bit cheap."
Su Ren suddenly became alert, looked at Hou Jian, and then at the dead-faced old man behind Hou Jian: "Isn't the captain just trying to raise the price?"
"Hahaha!" Hou Jian waved his hands repeatedly: "Master Su has misunderstood. Although I am a rough man, I will not go back on the things I promised. Today has nothing to do with Orange. I have another thing to say hello to Master Su.
In case Mr. Su doesn’t know about someone’s plot.”
"Thank you very much, Lieutenant Colonel. Su Rending will come and pay his respects."
"They all say Mr. Su is a wonderful man, and it's true. I've just fallen in love with you after we met twice. If we didn't have the ties of this business, it wouldn't be bad to be friends."
"It is a blessing for a small person to be promoted to the rank of captain. With this kind of business, we should become friends." Su Ren smiled slightly: "In this world, those who have common interests are friends. Now the captain and I are here.
When it comes to oranges, they are naturally friends.
"Hahaha, well said!"
Hou Jian leaned over, and Su Ren quickly handed over the ear.
"Master Su, isn't it strange that none of the salt-making craftsmen Huo Laosi went to Yahang to find yesterday came today?"
Su Ren then remembered that this was indeed the case. When Huo Laosi came back yesterday, he said that he had found thirty salt-making craftsmen in Yahang, but today only some private salt dealers came, and not a single craftsman came. He was busy.
After a whole day, I was only focused on being happy, so why did I forget about this matter?
Su Renyi raised his hand and said, "Please give me some advice from the captain."
Hou Jian patted Su Ren on the shoulder: "Yesterday, a person from the Chu region saw my orange tree and insisted that it was a specialty of their Chu region. He wanted to cut off the roots of my orange tree. Do you think I am?
To give or not to give?”
Su Ren bowed deeply and said nothing. Hou Jian laughed, got up and walked towards the door with the old man with a dead face. Su Ren kept walking out of the door. Hou Jian got on his horse, and before leaving, he said to Su Ren
He said: "A certain family's orange tree belongs to our ancestors and I will never let it go. If Mr. Su doesn't have such a good appetite, I don't mind taking all the oranges back and eating them myself."
Su Rendao: "Don't worry, Captain. Since Captain is a person who values promise, villains will also keep their promises. However, I still have to thank the Captain for his advice on this matter."
"That's good!" Hou Jian waved his horse's head and walked away. (To be continued)
