Chapter 47 Agency Power
"Do you really think this kid is a useful talent? You have to think about it, there are so many pairs of eyes inside and outside the palace looking at you."
Zhu Di's voice was not loud, but it kept echoing back and forth in the hall, which made the expression of Prince Zhu Gaochi who was standing next to Zhu Di a little unnatural. But even so, when Zhu Gaochi heard what Zhu Di said
Finally, he spoke very firmly.
"Father, I feel that I have not misjudged the person."
"Looking at it now, at least he is not the kind of playboy that others say. His flaws are not concealed, but after all, he is not as good as those ministers in the court."
"Although your talent and knowledge are somewhat lacking, your ability is obvious! Father, in short... you can leave this person to your son in the East Palace. Without Wang Siqi, I really don't know what to do."
Obviously, these words were spoken by Zhu Gaochi from the bottom of his heart.
"Look, do you still have the majesty of a prince?"
"Okay... I won't compete with you. Since you want to keep him in the East Palace, I'll let you do it... But that kid wants to go to Baochao to file a petition, and that won't be possible for a while."
"The Baochao promotion department is of great importance, and the Ministry of Accounts also takes it very seriously... Let's wait until he makes some achievements in the Baoyuan Bureau."
"My son understands."
....
The setting sun quietly dyed the sky, and Zhu Gaochi sat in the ceremonial guard early. The palace was too big, and it was difficult for him to walk because he was wide and fat.
The ceremonial guard passed between the palace walls.
Arriving in the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered slowly: "Who knows how difficult it is for the prince to sit in this position?"
..
On the other side, inside Rongchang Bo's Mansion.
Chen Zhi was feasting on the delicacies in front of the table. He didn't notice that his father Chen Xian's face was getting darker and darker.
boom!
Chen Xian slammed the bowl and chopsticks in his hand on the table.
He angrily looked at Chen Zhi, who was confused, and yelled: "When did our Chen family have sex in places like Zanghua Pavilion? Why have you never discussed it with me, the father?"
"Dad...I told you! You agreed! Are you too old...to remember it?"
Hiss.. As soon as these words came out, the painting style suddenly changed.
Seeing the sudden change in his wife's face, Chen Xian waved his hands in a hurry and said, "What are you talking about? When has our Chen family ever done that kind of business? Besides, can I agree to it?"
Chen Zhi was a little stunned.
Then he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and quickly explained: "Dad! Listen to me tell you about this matter from the beginning, but before that, I have to correct a problem first..."
Chen Xian said angrily: "If you fart, hurry up!"
"It's not that our family has a stake in Canghua Pavilion, it's that Canghua Pavilion itself is our family's property!"
"I!!"
.....
In just a few days.
Baoyuan Winery became an instant hit in the entire capital, and its fame gradually began to spread in the surrounding areas. Many businessmen from other places rushed to the capital like flies that smelled the fishy smell, just to be able to bring this kind of wine to the capital.
The most popular fine wines in recent times are sold to other places.
Ergouzi looked at the merchants surrounding him with an unhappy expression.
There was no sign of flattery or happiness on his face. Instead, he waved his hands impatiently and said, "We adults have said that the wine from Baoyuan Winery is not enough even for us to sell! How can there be any excess?
Take it out and sell it to you, not to mention what good can it do!"
Hear this.
The merchants were immediately unhappy, and one of them was the first to stand up and said: "As long as you have the ability to do Ming Dynasty's wine business, if you want to do it, then just do it!"
"Besides, you didn't even let us meet Supervisor Wang. How can you say that this matter was not discussed?"
The content of what they said was very tough, but when they spoke, the faces of these businessmen were full of flattery.
Ergouzi waved his hand again.
It looked like he was chasing flies away.
"I said, Baoyuan Winery can only sell the wine by ourselves, and now we don't have to worry about selling it at all... Where did you come from? Where are you going back to? Don't come here again..."
"Ah! Brother... just let us meet Mr. Wang. We came all the way to the capital to do business. We can't just go back without meeting the real owner!"
"Okay..Okay!"
Inside the wine shop.
Ergouzi finally got rid of the merchants gathered at the door and slipped in through the crack in the door. After walking a few steps inside, he panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He looked at Wang Siqi who was waiting here and said: "Master Supervisor, I have followed your instructions and told the merchants at the door that our Baoyuan Winery has no worries about selling the wine now, so let them not stay here any longer.
Yes, come early and leave early."
Wang Siqi nodded slightly with a smile.
"Okay! Go ahead and do your work!"
"Okay! Sir..."
Chen Zhi, who had a bruised nose and face, was a little confused and said doubtfully: "Although our business is good now, there are many people in the capital who bought some because they heard that our wine is good, and the price is so high.
.I guess if it goes on sale for a few days, no one will buy it!”
"If that's the case, why don't you think of ways to build relationships with these merchants at the door, so that when you can't sell it, you can sell more elsewhere!"
Wang Siqi shook his head.
Then he looked at Chen Zhi and said, "Do you know where the richest people in Ming Dynasty are now?"
"The capital city!"
"Aside from the capital?"
"Su Hang!"
"That's right. Places like Suzhou and Hangzhou are not far from the capital, but these places are very rich. What rich people like to do... is to follow the trend!"
"Whatever is popular in the capital, they like to buy!"
“What’s the hottest thing in Beijing right now?”
Hearing Wang Siqi's question, Chen Zhi continued without thinking and said:
"Zanghua Pavilion's annual huge offer, a big reward for new and old customers?"
"no.."
“How many big names in Yangzhou are stationed in Zanghua Pavilion?”
"..."
"It's our Baoyuan aged wine!"
Later, Wang Siqi talked to Chen Zhi bit by bit about the agency system of later generations from scratch. As time went by, Chen Zhi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and by the end they even seemed to have a golden light.
"Wonderful! Really wonderful!"
"High! Really high!"
"If these merchants want to sell our Baoyuan aged wine, they have to pay us an agency fee first. In this way, we can make money no matter whether they sell the wine well or not after shipping it back!"
Wang Siqi responded: "A child can be taught!"
Chen Zhi asked with some confusion: "Then what should we do now...?"
