After leaving the government office, Jiang Fan, accompanied by Lin Wanqing, walked towards the nearest shop belonging to the Qian family.
Although he became a city captain in Heyang, Jiang Fan has never worn an official robe until now.
Even on the first day when he went to the government office to report, he was dressed in casual clothes.
Originally this was against the rules, but Jiang Fan's status in the government office was quite special, so no one made too many demands on him in this regard.
Along the way, the two of them kept seeing many people gathering together, discussing something excitedly.
Their keen hearing allowed Jiang Fan and Lin Wanqing to roughly hear the contents of those discussions, which were basically all related to the dismissal of police officers and street patrol officers.
Of course, it was also mixed with content about the recruitment notice, so that people kept asking how to apply and started to go there.
All the people who were discussing were praising Jiang Fan. They had absolute approval and excitement for Jiang Fan's actions in sacking the policemen and patrolling the streets.
Lin Wanqing was quite happy to hear this, and even occasionally ran over to discuss it with the people, so that Jiang Fan had to stop on the spot several times, waiting for Lin Wanqing to get over this inexplicable addiction.
"Brother Jiang Fan, all the people are praising you, saying that you are a good official who truly works for the people. This feels really good."
After another discussion with several people, and after listening to the people's praise for Jiang Fan's efforts, Lin Wanqing returned to Jiang Fan happily, hugged Jiang Fan's arm, and said with a smile.
"Don't be too happy too early. For the common people, they hardly have any long-term vision and can basically only see the present. So they can think that I am a good official today, but if something changes tomorrow, such as the rapid deterioration of public security
, street robberies and even other vicious cases continue to occur, so how will they praise me today, and how will they scold me tomorrow."
Jiang Fan said.
"But it's not easy to win the love of the people, not to mention, brother Jiang Fan, how long have you been a city captain?"
Lin Wanqing pouted and said.
"Let's not discuss this anymore. No matter what you do, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. In the final analysis, whose interests and needs your actions cater to will be recognized by those people. And once your actions harm the interests of the other party,
Then the other party will instantly stand on your opposite side."
Jiang Fan smiled and then said: "You are not a copper coin, and you cannot make everyone like you. Therefore, when we do things, we do not seek perfection, but a clear conscience."
Lin Wanqing nodded in understanding, and her hands holding Jiang Fan's arms subconsciously tightened a little harder.
Not long after, Jiang Fan and Lin Wanqing arrived at a liquor store owned by the Qian family.
What surprised both Jiang Fan and Lin Wanqing was that there was a long queue outside the shop.
More than a dozen tellers from Qian's shop were ensuring order in the queue outside the shop. As expected, the banner proposed by Jiang Fan had been hung above the shop.
At the same time, on the price of the wine, in accordance with Jiang Fan's requirements, it was clearly informed that the current promotion is 10% off, and after the one-month promotion period, the original price will be restored.
Everything that was originally being sold in the entire shop was withdrawn into the shop and placed at the entrance of the shop where pedestrians on the street could see it. Only the wine brewed by Jiang Fan!
The name of the wine is Xianren Zui. From Jiang Fan's point of view, this name is quite vulgar and boring. However, in this era of the world, a name like Xianren Zui is quite in line with public aesthetics.
After entering the shop, they found that Qian Sihai and Qian Rushan and his son were actually in the shop. As Jiang Fan and Lin Wanqing walked in, Qian Sihai and Qian Rushan hurried forward to greet them.
"Lord Chengwei! Have you seen the long queue outside the shop? Quanzi and I just came from several other shops. The situation outside all the shops in the city is similar. The ones that were made on the fly yesterday...well, the 'leaflets'
?Is that what you named it? Anyway, those things have really created a huge response, so much so that the wine stocks in my stores are showing signs of being in a hurry, and people are being arranged to rush out of the city to bring in more wine.
"
Qian Sihai saluted Jiang Fan with a smile and said slightly excitedly.
"Are these people queuing up to participate in the Dionysus Competition?"
Jiang Fan asked, pointing to the people lining up outside the shop.
"Yes, I specially arranged people to divide the team into two lines, one for those participating in the Dionysus Competition, and another for those who want to buy wine. However, people who want to buy wine do not have to queue up yet, but compared to before, they have already
There has been a very obvious improvement. One is that the Dionysus Competition has brought many people’s attention, and the other is the impact of the tribute wine designated by Prince Banner Wu’s Mansion.”
Qian Sihai said as he led Jiang Fan and Lin Wanqing to the entrance of the shop.
On the entire counter facing the outside, there were more than twenty sea bowls placed in a horizontal row, and each sea bowl contained half a catty of wine.
People queuing up to participate in the Dionysus Competition came up one by one and poured themselves wine from the sea bowl. According to the rules set by the Qian family, the three bowls must be drunk continuously without any gaps to be considered a success in the challenge.
However, so far, most people have fallen directly under the first bowl, and there are very few people who can hold up the second bowl.
After all, for these people in Heyang City, this is the first time they have drunk alcohol with such an exaggerated alcohol content, and their bodies have not yet formed enough habits.
"There is currently no one who can do three bowls in a row, but I believe that such people will definitely appear, but the number will be very rare. I plan to wait until the end of the competition time, then gather all the people who can do three bowls in a row, and then hold
An ultimate Dionysian competition, what do you think, Lord City Lieutenant?"
Qian Sihai asked slightly excitedly.
"It's a good idea. After this early warm-up, when the ultimate Dionysus Competition comes, the competition will definitely attract the attention of everyone in Heyang City. This will have a significant effect on increasing the popularity of wine."
Jiang Fan nodded in agreement.
Qian Sihai is worthy of being the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as he is enlightened, his subsequent divergent thinking and associative abilities will be considered above the passing line.
"That's good! Since Mr. Chengwei also thinks it's feasible, I will arrange for people to make preparations first! Because of Mr. Chengwei's suggestions, the sales of wine have increased significantly. It is estimated that after this month, the sales volume will be
It will really open up completely!”
"And once it returns to the selling price set by you, Mr. Chengwei, the profits will become extremely terrible. Mr. Chengwei, to put it bluntly, your talent in business is so high that I have never seen it before.
No one else can compare with you, so I always feel that... becoming a city captain really buries your talent in business."
Qian Sihai had an expression of admiration on his face.
"I asked you to count before, the amount of money tickets owned by all the residents in the city at the bank. Are there any results?"
Jiang Fan did not accept Qian Sihai's sincere flattery, but asked another question.
"The results are in, please wait a moment."
Qian Sihai nodded quickly, waved to a servant, then took the account book handed over by the servant and presented it to Jiang Fan.
