Chapter 2064 Cao's firm's strategy(1/2)
But it's good that the God of Death is willing to help them now. It's better now. These tens of thousands of years have been in vain. Damn it, just one pill made me go to ten years ago. During this time, the third child has to
Relying on the support of these precious medicinal materials, they did not expect that less than three days after arriving at the house of the God of Death, their first mission would come. Several people looked at the God of Death depressedly, damn, this
They don’t want us to rest at all. They clearly know that several of them are injured, but they have already agreed with others to make offerings for 200 years. Now you are not doing anything here. Why are they doing this for you?
Really? People have to bow their heads under the roof. A few people who have lived for such a long time know this truth, so they should just do things honestly.
Li Cong in the Eastern Empire was almost done after this period of recuperation. He knew that he had made a mistake this time. If he didn't like to rely on luck, his son might not have died. If he had
If he were to refine a small silver marrow, wouldn't the current situation disappear? Four tenth-level warriors, what a huge force, but he didn't even know how his son fought and lost his own
Life, for many people, this plant life is nothing. Many people don't care about such things. Even if they grow to the level of Xiao Ao, they will feel that it is just a tool for themselves, just to see.
There were so many good and bad parts, and other people would just be sad for a while at most, but Li Cong knew that he had lost a relative. He had not felt this feeling for a long time. If he couldn't
If you take revenge on Xiao Ao, you won't feel at ease in the future.
"Do you have any clues about the matter?" Li Cong has been working on the city wall for two days. During these two days, Wu Liu has been following Li Cong here, and the food there has been changed again and again.
Now, Xiaohu and the others have all rushed back from the Warcraft Mountains. Xiaohu is the one who is the most angry about Xiaoao's death. The entire barren mountain was destroyed in the runway barren mountain. Then he came out and was lying next to Li Cong.
He knew what he was thinking. When he heard Li Congwen's words, his ears immediately stood up. He wanted to know what was going on. He was also thinking about avenging Xiao Ao. His little master had such a temper with him.
They are compatible. The two of them often play together. Who would have known that after returning to the Warcraft Mountains once, the yin and yang would be separated. A friend of level 10 Warcraft would die at the last word. How could his face be affected by this?
put?
"Sir, things are not as simple as we thought. These four tenth-level warriors are not walking around in the world. They must have been famous for a long time. It is not that simple to find them. Our
People are already doing their best to investigate, but there is no news yet." Li Cong asked once a day, and his answer today is still the same as yesterday. The people in the intelligence department are already using their full strength, and he urges them every day
Once, but information is not something you have in your hands, nor can you come out if you want it. There is really no way to say these words.
"Trash, you are all a bunch of trash. What do I feed you in normal times? Each and every one of you told me how good our intelligence system is. What now? I have been investigating this matter for half a month.
I don’t have any clues. I asked the people in the intelligence department to go down and get me ten boards. I asked them to give me Zhang Chang’s memory one by one. If they still don’t have the ability, get out of here. There are a lot of people waiting to get in below.
Yes, there is no shortage of them." Li Cong said loudly. Wu Liu could only give some comfort to those in the intelligence department. It's no wonder that Li Cong's temper was bad. The intelligence department used to obtain information all the time.
Very quickly, but this matter also depends on the individual. Just thinking about the matter now, he really doesn’t have it if he wants it. Some things are not so easy to come by, many of them are needed.
It came slowly.
"What's going on here in the Eastern Empire recently?" Li Cong glanced at Wu Liu apologetically after getting angry. He knew that at his level, his emotions should not be displayed on his face. If
If there are outsiders, they can see a series of things from Li Cong's face, which is very detrimental to the Cao family business. If this happens for a long time, I don't know what those people will say about me, so many times
Li Cong is not like this, but because Xiao Ao has become like this recently, Li Cong feels really uncomfortable. Why is his son killed by others? Why can't he, the father, avenge him?
Come on, it's this kind of mood that makes Li Cong feel very uncomfortable when dealing with things recently.
"Sir, Prince Ning's fiefdom has come down. Just like what was said at the beginning, to the north of us is Prince Ning's territory. There are more than a dozen counties and cities. I think the emperor must want us to fight with Prince Ning.
In a fight to the death, it would be best to kill Prince Ning. Another piece of news is that Prince Ning’s mother passed away two days ago. The last time he saw Prince Ning was before Prince Ning left the capital.
, it seems that the emperor's younger brother really couldn't help but take action, and he can't even tolerate an old man." Wu Liu quickly told Li Cong the news. In fact, he also thought that the news could arouse Li Cong's interest.
, In this way, Li Cong can divert his attention to some extent, which is also very good for Li Cong. If he is always entangled in this matter, it will be a bad thing for everyone.
"He has a plan, but I don't think Prince Ning wants to go against us. It will be some time before Prince Ning comes back. You go down and make arrangements. Prince Ning has nothing when he comes to the fiefdom this time. We should have a good time."
Let's help King Ning and ask people to send them some things and money. Although King Ning is not lacking in these, he will definitely have his own things, but we still have to express our feelings to King Ning. Even if we
The occupation of his territory was connived by his brother and has nothing to do with us. Our people must tell him that without the help of His Majesty the Emperor, we would not have been able to enter. Let the two brothers go.
Hostility is enough. I don’t think Prince Ning will be depressed like this. Prince Ning must have his own ability to leave an environment like the capital. Some time ago, wasn’t it said that the emperor’s younger brother was assassinated by Prince Ning?
Have you escaped?" Li Cong said, no one can destroy this balance in three aspects.
"Sir, we have also investigated that matter clearly. It is the people from the Eastern Empire Magician's Union who are doing this. They are also the ones who came forward to prevent the emperor's younger brother from killing Prince Ning. But this time, they will not care about such a thing next time.
It's over." Wu Liu told all the news he had recently received, and Prince Ning's fate was considered good.
Li Cong was a little shocked when he heard the news. The magician union in the Eastern Empire is stronger than the magician unions in several other empires. Ordinarily, they should not care about such things. Each of these guys
They were only thinking about their own interests. Did the old emperor really ask them to save Prince Ning’s life? Or did Prince Ning have something they needed in his hands? If this is the case, they would have to get close to Prince Ning.
Well, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
"Prince Ning is trying to be more careful. I don't believe that just because we occupied Prince Ning's fiefdom and eliminated some of his superficial armies, he became like this. In the past, this guy was working in the East.
The empire can be regarded as windy and rainy. How could it disappear so quickly? There must be something wrong afterwards. By the way, has our expansion plan in the Eastern Empire begun?" Li Cong didn't want to let himself go either.
Returning to that kind of pain, he knew that what he wanted to do now should not be sad. If he was just sad there, he would not be able to do anything. What he should do is to develop himself well and let his strength
Expand and get more information. Only in this way can we find out the information about those guys.
"Sir, according to our contract with the Eastern Empire's court, we are now able to carry out our business in all 2134 provinces of the Eastern Empire. All aspects of this matter are being carried out in an intense and orderly manner, but we feel that
The Eastern Imperial Government is not very optimistic about our cooperation. Therefore, the subordinates feel that it is better to conduct a trial operation among the approximately 600 counties and cities in the 31 coastal provinces. I wonder what you mean? "This matter is all left to us.
Bai Er did it. Bai Er knew that this was not just a business issue, but also a lot of political factors. He rashly started to enter on a large scale. If he lost all his money, it would not be that simple. It was better to do it slowly.
.
It is already very impressive for 600 counties and cities to start building their own stores or other things belonging to the Cao Family Trading Company at the same time. But now the Cao Family Trading Company is already a huge behemoth, even at this scale, in his eyes
It didn't matter. Li Cong frowned slightly after hearing this. In the past few years, the pace of entering the Southern Empire was much greater than it is now. Are these current subordinates a bit too conservative?
"Trial operation is possible, but the scale must be doubled. You must know that the Eastern Empire is different from the other three empires. In terms of business scale, the current Eastern Empire is at least as good as the other three empires.
In total, the economic aggregate here is double that of our previous one. Just let them do their jobs well. Now, while the Chamber of Commerce in the Eastern Empire has not yet reacted, we will just do this and wait for them to react.
When we come here, we may have already established a firm foothold, and they can't do anything they want to do to us." Li Cong said that now is the best time to develop, although it is a bit hasty, but this can also make Dong Dong
The empire cannot react. If you are ready yourself, others will probably be ready at that time, and this matter will not be so easy to handle.
The scale was going to be doubled. Wu Liu promised and went out. It was really difficult. Money and other things were easy to solve. The most important thing was the manpower issue. If we do it according to the plan, this
There are about 3,200 county towns among the 600 counties, plus some more prosperous towns, the total number exceeds 5,000. This density is definitely not found in the other three empires. This is just a very ordinary town in the Eastern Empire.
Province, but the economic scale is almost the same as that of the Northern Empire Capital Region. They have also seen huge business opportunities, but sometimes this business opportunity is not so easy to seize. They still need to plan these things slowly.
That's all.
According to the current size of a grain store in Cao's Trading Company, there are about five clerks, two accounting offices, and a shopkeeper in the store. There are three carriages in the warehouse, six coachmen, and four guards, for transportation and other things.
It is a temporary one. Even if it is like this, it will require about twenty people. This is still considered to be of this scale in a county. If it is in a county, the scale will be more than doubled, which will require hundreds of thousands of people.
This is just a grain store, plus other jewelry stores, trading houses, transportation groups, liquor sales, etc. These 600 counties and cities need at least nearly one million people,
Where can I find so many people at once?
In fact, the Cao Family Trading Company has already started recruitment work from the very beginning. In this year of great famine, coupled with the turmoil between the court and the Linghu family, there are many people who don't have enough to eat. Originally, it was easy for them.
You can get rid of all the clerks. Who knew that something happened to King Ning again? The people here were well fed by King Ning, and each of them couldn't help the people of the Cao family business.
There is little hostility. The job fair has been going on for three days, and less than 20,000 people have come to apply. Among them, there are still thousands of people who are not qualified. They just go home. If this is the case, I will think about it within half a month.
It was impossible to open the door.
"I really don't know what Prince Ning did back then. Now they don't have enough to eat and they still don't come to work here. How many people don't have enough to eat now, but they would rather go hungry than come to our place.
When we come to work, even those who have passed the inspection don't want to wear our work clothes. They say it's embarrassing to go out. I really don't understand them. What's the shame of having a full stomach? Our wages are already very good.
"Yes, if we continue to increase wages and benefits, some of our cost controls may not be very good. Although it is very important for us to open up the market here, we will not engage in loss-making business." Bai Er looked at the recruitment site.
He said helplessly, Wu Liu came here to tell Bai Er Li Cong's order, and the two of them didn't know what to do. Li Cong, the eldest man, is in a bad mood now. If they had been in the past, they would definitely
They went back to talk to Li Cong about their difficulties, but now that the third young master has just left, they all know that Li Cong is in a bad mood. If they go up at this time, the final result will be fatal. Those guys
Each one of them is remarkable.
"Who says it's not? I have inquired about it, and the workers around here basically earn one or two or eight yuan a month. In terms of food and accommodation, these are the strong laborers. If they are not strong enough, they will not be able to do it at all.
Without this kind of remuneration, one person can support a family of three by doing such a thing. But I don’t know why we were all offered 2 taels of silver, which is 10% higher than others. But no one comes. I
I also went out to ask. Each of these common people knew a lot. They said that we snatched this land from Prince Ning. His Highness Prince Ning will come back sooner or later. If they come to work here,
If they do, they will be traitors when they wait for His Highness Prince Ning to come back. Although they are very hungry now, as long as they persist, they can still get through this day. At least their heads will not need to be adjusted. But if they come to us
, they will be able to see it when Prince Ning comes back in the future. It would be weird if everyone kept losing his head." Bai Er said with a grimace, they had taken Prince Ning's influence into account, but they didn't expect it.
After all, this place has been the fiefdom of King Ning for tens of thousands of years, so the people have their own reasons for thinking about King Ning. It took King Ning tens of thousands of years to have this.
You have done such a small thing, but it is incomparable. How about asking everyone to go out and oppose Prince Ning? That idea is possible, but it is absolutely unrealistic.
"We can't continue to raise prices. We are just starting. Although we are wealthy, everything has to pay attention to a cost. Just like one of our grain stores, in a county town
We can only produce 20,000 to 30,000 tons of grain a year, and the turnover is only 90,000 taels of silver. Although we have ways to get grain, it still costs a lot. The monthly salary of these twenty people is
Fifty taels of silver is equivalent to 600 taels of silver a year. Other people only use half of our money to run their business. We have paid too much, so we can only think of some way." Wu Liu nodded and said, since
When doing business, you have to consider your own costs. If the cost exceeds the cost, there is no need to forget about it.
"When you said that, I thought of a way. Can we expand our influence first?" Bai Er suddenly thought of a way. In fact, this can't be considered a way. The Cao Family Trading Company is the largest in the local area.
They have their own influence, but their reputation is not very good. If others say it, others will feel bad, for example, they are all invaders and so on. It’s okay not to have this reputation. It will be good for you.
None.
"Many things are not as simple as we think. But sometimes things are as simple as that. Look, there are so many people who have no food to eat on the street. Can we make some porridge or something on the street?
This can improve our image. Of course, we can supply them for free the first time, and the second time we have to rely on their strength to do things for us. If we can do things well, everything will be fine.
To be continued...
