"Brother, you don't have to be polite. You can order whatever you want. The cost of the food and wine is not included in the price." Zhong Zihao did not change his attitude towards Lao Caitou at all due to the persuasion of others, and invited him warmly.
"Okay, I must have paid homage to the right Bodhisattva last night. If I go out and meet a noble person today, I won't be polite." Lao Caitou laughed, showing his heroic spirit.
Not to mention, the old Mr. Cai was really not polite to Zhong Zihao. He filled the table with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as the meat of hard-to-catch ferocious beasts and birds.
Not to mention the wine, he asked his son to bring ten jars of wine. When Zhong Zihao said that two people could not drink so much, his answer made people speechless.
"It doesn't matter, I'll let the shopkeeper keep the rest of the wine. I, Lao Cai, will ensure that it won't be wasted."
The shopkeeper was quite fast in serving the guests, and the dishes were all served in a short time. Lao Caitou did his part, eating and drinking like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. Look at him, who is not a very tall man, but he filled the table with dishes like a whirlwind.
Eating everything.
After three rounds of drinking, Lao Cai was a little drunk. He glanced at Zhong Zihao with his small eyes for a while and joked: "This little brother, why are you not afraid of being tricked by me, Lao Cai?"
Zhong Zihao laughed and said half-jokingly: "In my eyes, a person like you, brother, is certainly not an ordinary person. The so-called 'golden scales are not things in the pond, but they turn into dragons when encountering storms' refers to my dear friend.
You are wrong. Let me ask you, how could such a superior person have the idea of being inferior to someone inferior?"
"really?"
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Lao Cai's eyes, and it seemed that even the alcohol had disappeared at this moment.
"Of course!" Zhong Zihao was amused in his heart, but his face was very solemn and he said with stern eyes.
"Okay!" Lao Cai shouted loudly, and his expression was shocked. The previous decadent air was gone, replaced by a heroic spirit with a deep rift in his chest.
"It's rare for me to think so highly of me, so don't call me brother or brother anymore. It sounds awkward. If you don't mind, just call me Lao Cai, or Lao Cai Tou."
"Okay! My surname is Zhong, Lao Cai, don't be so polite." Zhong Zihao nodded lightly, officially acquainting himself with Lao Cai.
"Little friend Zhong, it's rare for us to get together here. The so-called meeting is fate. Come on, do it!"
"Dry!"
From this moment on, the atmosphere was no longer as cold as before. The two of them were talking and laughing, talking nonsense all over the world.
And Zhong Zihao also discovered that this old Cai Tou had extraordinary knowledge. Basically, he knew all the major events that happened in the Shenyuan Domain like a treasure trove, as if he could pick it up at his fingertips.
"Old Cai, to be honest, with your talent and talent, you shouldn't be in this situation. Can you help me clarify my doubts?" Half an hour later, Zhong Zihao finally asked the biggest question in his heart.
Lao Cai closed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see through Zhong Zihao's heart, and said, "If you hear some ridiculous answers, are you still willing to believe them?"
Zhong Zihao's eyes were calm and he said loudly: "It depends on the person it happens to. However, I completely believe the information coming out of your mouth, Lao Cai."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a sharp light looming.
Lao Cai stared at him motionless, pondered for a while, and then nodded slightly: "Okay, let me tell you a story..."
As Lao Cai explained, Zhong Zihao gradually got to know him better, and he kept applauding him in his heart along the way. He looked at the former with increasingly satisfied eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision.
It turns out that Lao Cai is a pure businessman with extremely high business talent. He has endless ideas and strategies in this area. He was once a person of great status in Shuyuncheng.
Six years ago, Lao Cai came to Shuyun City alone, and by chance entered an inconspicuous trading firm in the city, which later became the famous Jutong Trading Firm.
In just a few months, Lao Cai showed outstanding business talent. The shopkeeper took a fancy to his talent and opened a separate branch for him to manage.
One month later, he allowed the branch to recover its costs. Three months later, the profit had already surpassed that of the head office headed by the shopkeeper. A few months later, the shopkeeper seemed to have seen the business opportunities in Lao Cai, so he made a desperate move to increase investment and put all his money into the business.
He spent all his savings and opened more than ten branches throughout the city.
And Lao Cai did not disappoint the shopkeeper. Half a year later, each branch had made a lot of money.
Another year passed, and Jutong Commercial Bank had opened fifty-three branches in Shuyun City, becoming one of the largest commercial banks in the city. From this moment on, the former shopkeeper no longer had any intention of running the business, and he focused all his attention on calculations.
They also euphemistically say: As a business becomes bigger, it is not as easy to control as it used to be, and management cannot be left behind.
Two years have passed by in such a hurry, and Jutong Trading Company has become the number one trading bank in Shuyun City.
Of course, several other equally powerful trading houses couldn't stand it anymore, and they all joined forces to suppress Jutong Trading Company, plundering everything from supply chains to talents at high prices.
It was also at this time that Lao Cai made a suggestion: We have to come up with a unique marketing strategy. If the plan is successful, we will be able to get rid of several other trading companies. Even if they join forces again, they will not be able to compete with Jutong Trading Company.
qualifications.
Lao Cai's method is also very simple. One is to limit supply; the other is to collect rare goods and sell them in the form of auctions. As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable. If the uniqueness of the goods can be guaranteed and it has incomparable characteristics,
If this continues, not only will Jutong Trading Company be able to take the lead in Shuyun City, it will also be able to gather a lot of popularity.
Due to Lao Cai's outstanding performance over the years, the shopkeeper overcame everyone's objections, expressed his support on the spot, and allocated a huge sum of money to establish the first auction house in Shuyuncheng.
However, things didn't go as planned. At this critical moment, there was a problem with the supply of raw materials, which led to the complete failure of Lao Cai's plan. As a result, the reputation of Jutong Trading Company plummeted, and it was not even as good as several other major trading firms.
Naturally, the so-called auction house has become a complete joke.
Jutong Trading Company encountered great changes, and the shopkeeper blamed all of this on Lao Cai. Not only did he expel him on the spot without thinking about his old relationship, but he also asked him to compensate for the losses of the trading company.
As a result, the former rich man Cai became a pauper overnight. What's more, whenever he appeared on the streets of Shuyuncheng, he was like a rat crossing the street. Everyone pointed at him, saying that he was a disaster star.
, even the huge Jutong Trading Company was ruined by him.
Naturally, any restaurant where Lao Cai showed up would not be welcomed by the shopkeepers. As for this restaurant, he had helped the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper did not expel him because of his old feelings, and just turned a blind eye.
Another thing worth mentioning is that in the past year, the shopkeeper of Yuan Jutong Trading Co., Ltd. found that his business had declined sharply, and he had the idea of going back to Lao Cai. During this period, he also sent lobbyists several times to persuade him.
All of these were rejected by Lao Caitou. His original words at the time were: If I had known this, why bother in the first place! There is no turning back for many things in the world. Even if I starve to death on the streets, I will never return to Juju in this life.
Tongshang Bank!
"Why!"
Lao Cai sighed deeply: "Perhaps this is God's test for me. I just don't know when I, Lao Cai, who is full of enthusiasm, will be able to truly show his ambition!"
