Chapter 354: The number one businessman in Ming Dynasty
Zhao Min suddenly sneered when he heard Jia Zhang's words.
I am a businessman, do you think I run a factory as a charity?
"Ms. Jia Zhang, I asked you to cook because of your daughter-in-law's skills. Do you really think I can't find anyone to cook?"
Min was not used to it at all, and said directly to her: "Go, I will give you meat and noodles. If you don't go... without your daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, won't I be able to open a factory?"
"..."
Mrs. Jia Zhang grumbled and wanted benefits, but Zhao Min was not used to it at all.
Love can go or not, don’t pull it down!
Zhao Min turned around and left.
Now it was Jia Zhang's turn to be anxious. She threw down the broom and chased after Zhao Min, pulling Zhao Min to prevent her from leaving: "Go, go, I'll go! No wages, just give me some rice and noodles, nothing else."
.”
"OK."
Zhao Min nodded, and then said to her: "You can ask for something if you want it, but if you dare to be short of food when cooking and deprive the workers of food, I will not only use you, but I will also report you to the officials."
!”
Hearing Zhao Min talk about reporting to the official, Jia Zhang was so frightened that she suddenly jumped up and said quickly: "I understand, I understand, I will do my job well and won't cause any trouble to you!"
After saying that, Mrs. Jia Zhang shouted towards her house: "Lang Hoozi, what are you doing in the house? Why don't you come and see your boss quickly?"
The 180-degree turn in attitude caught people off guard.
Zhao Min sneered. Such an old lady actually made things difficult for her in the beginning. She was taken advantage of by Zhu Han all night. It was irritating to think about it.
annoying!
Zhao Min turned around and left.
Recruitment went very smoothly, and spinning and weaving were basically done by women. There were many women in Nancheng who spun and weaved at home to support their families. Now that Zhao Min had set up a factory, he not only bought the spinning machines from them, but also
The wages are paid and everyone is happy to go.
If women work together, what problems can arise?
The factory covering an area of 30 acres was quickly filled with people. She did not need to take the initiative to contact the suppliers, the suppliers came to her themselves.
The first person to bear the brunt was the people from Zhou's Trading Company. Zhou Gushan was very aware of the relationship between Zhao Min and Zhu Han, and Zhou Zhiruo also wrote to him to say hello. How could Zhou Gushan not be active?
It’s just zero profit to buy the goods produced by Zhao Min’s factory.
Remember, there is zero profit on the retail price... Zhao Min was very excited.
However, there are people who are more ruthless than Zhou Gushan.
That is Shen Wansan.
Shen Wansan's suggestion was simple: buy shares.
He believed that Zhao Min's spinning mill was worth at least two million silver coins, so he took out one million silver coins and bought 40% of the shares of Zhao Min's spinning mill.
Zhao Min was shocked when he heard the price.
She only spent 100,000 silver coins from building the factory to putting it into production, and now it is directly worth 2 million... Did Shen Wansan want to bribe Zhu Han?
Zhao Min chose to refuse immediately and instead cooperated with Zhou's Trading Company in Zhou Gushan. After all, with Zhou Zhiruo's relationship, Zhao Min still understood this worldly thing.
However, Shen Wansan did not give up because of Zhao Min's refusal. Instead, he came to Zhao Min in person and said directly: "Boss Zhao, the reason why I said your factory is valuable and I am willing to invest so much money is not
Because of nothing else, just because of your identity."
"My identity?"
Zhao Min frowned, looked at Shen Wansan and said, "You mean, the King of England?"
"No, because you are a woman."
Shen Wansan named her and then said: "Boss Zhao, I follow one principle in doing business: stay close to the government and stay away from the court. Moreover, Shen is very disciplined in business and will not do anything inappropriate. The reason why I came to you is,
It's because you are a woman... It's His Royal Highness's intention to do business, right?"
Zhao Min did not speak, but looked at Shen Wansan, wanting to hear his explanation. Shen Wansan continued: "Women, women in the entire Ming Dynasty will be a very big business, but now there are only women in Yingtian
As for the workshops where work is done, what about the two lakes? What about Guangdong and Guangxi? And Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Qilu, and southern Henan...where are the women in these places entering the factories?"
Hearing what Shen Wansan said, Zhao Min understood a little bit: "You want to do business related to women, and I... am the most suitable candidate?"
Shen Wansan nodded: "Yes!"
Those with higher status than Zhao Min include Ma Xiuying, Liu Sanniang, and Zhou Zhiruo, but among these three people, Ma Xiuying is the mother of a country, and it is difficult for her to do business. Liu Sanniang can chop and kill, but her business ability is completely
Zhou Zhiruo knew nothing about it, but she did have a talent for doing business, but that was not her ambition. Zhao Min chose to show her face, and Shen Wansan naturally found her.
After hearing what Shen Wansan said, Zhao Min realized that the market behind him was very valuable.
In this case, how could one million silver coins be enough?
Zhao Min stretched out a finger: "One million gold coins, 30% of the shares."
"Yes! It's a deal!"
Shen Wansan seemed to be worried that Zhao Min would regret it, so he directly clasped his fists and said: "Boss Zhao, I will give you one million gold coins later, but I want to ask... what do you plan to do with the money?"
"..."
Damn it, it’s so cheap!
Zhao Min was doing business for the first time, so he was naturally no match for a veteran like Shen Wansan. But the most important thing for a businessman to do business was a letter. Zhao Min had no time to go back on his words, so he could only blame himself for agreeing too early.
The price is too low and I don’t see my own value clearly.
However, Zhao Min was still credible. She said to Shen Wansan: "I will use the money to plant trees and open factories in the south."
"good!"
Shen Wansan nodded, this is how business is done: "Don't worry, Boss Zhao, I'll get the money right away."
After saying that, Shen Wansan left to prepare the money.
…
Back at Prince Ying's Mansion, Liu Sanniang had just finished cooking. When she saw Zhao Min coming back, she quickly said: "Let's eat together... go wash your hands first!"
Although his attitude was still a bit cold, it was much better than before. How could Zhao Min not be flattered and hurriedly washed his hands and had a meal.
While eating, he told Zhu Han about Shen Wansan's cooperation with him. After hearing this, Zhu Han couldn't help but said: "This Shen Wansan is really an old man in business. He is a born businessman. There is no one in Ming Dynasty who can compare with him."
Got him."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Min complained in his heart: How could it not be? Aren’t you?
In Zhao Min's opinion, Zhu Han was definitely better at business than Shen Wansan, but Zhu Han was lazy and didn't want to do business.
Zhou Zhiruo was not angry after hearing this, because Zhu Han told the truth. Zhu Han gave him a lot of help in Zhou Gushan's trading company, but now he is still no match for Shen Wansan, which explains the problem.
"I don't want to suffer a loss."
Zhao Min looked at Zhu Han and asked: "Shen Wansan is very cunning. If the business is done according to his instructions, I will lose a lot. Is there anything you can do to reduce my losses?"
Want to ask for ideas again?
Zhao Min looked Zhao Min up and down and said with a smile: "The price for my ideas is not cheap. How are you going to impress me?"
You, Zhao Min, have slept with me, so what else can you give me for advice?
"..."
Noticed Zhu Han's gaze.
Zhao Min immediately understood what he meant, his face immediately turned red, and he stretched out his legs to kick Zhu Han under the table.
"ah!"
Zhou Zhiruo's little feet were flirting with Zhu Han under the table. Zhao Min suddenly kicked her and she screamed. Then she looked at Zhao Min aggrievedly: "Sister, why are you kicking me?"
"Uh, my feet are numb."
Zhao Min quickly found an excuse to cover up. How could Liu Sanniang next to him not know what they were doing? She straightened her face and said seriously: "Eat, just eat, don't do those messy things! We have to go back to the house to do it!"
"..."
The two women immediately lowered their heads to pick up the rice. Although Zhu Han was thick-skinned, he couldn't bear it at this time. He smiled dryly and said: "Well, let's eat. Let's eat."
As long as Zhao Min wanted to, it would be no problem to get the idea from Zhu Han. The next afternoon, Zhao Min returned to the factory with satisfaction and continued to be the boss. She already knew Shen Wansan's idea, but there was one more thing.
Zhao Min was a little puzzled: Where did Zhu Han know so many postures? Why didn't he learn them when he looked at the pictures?
Back at the factory, Zhao Min did not deal with Shen Wansan, but continued to do his own thing, while observing from the surroundings what else women could do besides the spinning mill business.
…
When Zhu Biao saw Zhu Han again, he had gotten over some of the minor grudges he had had. Apart from being a good womanizer, his uncle had no other shortcomings.
Arriving at Prince Ying's Mansion, Zhu Biao found that Zhu Han was actually in the study, which made Zhu Biao very surprised. When he came to Prince Ying's Mansion, Zhu Han was either tinkering with things to eat, or studying weird things in his technology room.
This is my first time in the study room.
When he walked into the study room and saw Zhu Han reading a book, he couldn't help but move closer out of curiosity: "Uncle, what are you reading, uncle?"
"Auditing."
Zhu Han had already read half of the book he redeemed from the system, and then threw it to Zhu Biao:
"Here, take this book and read it. It will be very helpful for you in managing the court."
The system is very user-friendly, and the books redeemed are in traditional Chinese characters, so Zhu Biao doesn't see any hindrance.
audit?
What is audit?
Zhu Biao glanced at it twice and immediately knew the significance of this book: "Book of Censorship?"
"Almost, it's more of a norm."
Zhu Han said to Zhu Biao, "This is one of the books. The others include accounting. It makes how to do accounts more clear. If you study this set of books thoroughly, whoever dares to ambush you in the future will be very relaxed."
You can find out, and you can also use this book to set up an audit department to be responsible for auditing the account books of various places in the world."
"Then I have to study hard."
Zhu Biao put the book away as if he had found a treasure, and then said to Zhu Han: "Uncle, this book came in time. Recently, the court is splitting up the household department. I am also involved in many things. I will look at the account books submitted by the household department.
At that time, I found that there was nothing wrong, but I always felt that something was wrong. When I went back, I took this book and studied it carefully to see if I was overthinking it, or if someone was really enriching themselves and deceiving the court!"
Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han hated corruption, and Zhu Biao was also influenced by them. He also understood that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Officials have power, and naturally there will be people who want to gain benefits through power.
Zhu Biao felt that as long as you do practical things and don't bully the people, he could turn a blind eye, but if you dare to take this opportunity to enrich your own pockets, this is absolutely unacceptable.
】
For example, now he is checking the accounts of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This has nothing to do with the people. If someone is really making false claims in it, it means that someone is reaching out to steal money from the treasury. This kind of person will be killed with a thousand cuts.
"Um."
Zhu Han knew that Zhu Biao was not a soft-hearted person, but he still reminded him: "Biao'er, those who hold imperial power are human beings after all. Everyone has their own preferences, but as a person in power, you must try your best to avoid being swayed by emotions. Now you are conducting household checks."
If we want to make a mistake, it must be done in accordance with the national law. We must make this project a solid one, and there is no room for any sloppiness."
As the prince, Zhu Biao is now supervising the country. Investigating the household department is the first thing he does. He must convince everyone before Zhu Biao can establish his authority in the court.
Zhu Han's reminder to him was to protect him. How could Zhu Biao not understand Zhu Han's care for him?
"Uncle, don't worry, I know what to do."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Han and said with a smile: "Besides, if I can't do it well, I still have your uncle, and I will come and find you then."
"good."
Zhu Han laughed happily. Zhu Biao understood what he meant. This was his growth. He patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "Work hard. The future of the Ming Dynasty will be entrusted to you... But you must exercise every day."
Two hours, not even a quarter of an hour can be missing!"
"...Uncle, I understand."
"I will transfer Hu Weiyong to work with you tomorrow. Hu Weiyong is very capable, but he is also a villain. He is a double-edged sword. It depends on how you use him. If you use him well, he will definitely be a sharp knife."
"Okay, uncle."
…
Zhu Biao is very smart, and he was trained by Zhu Yuanzhang among the ministers since he was a child. Now he has Hu Weiyong beside him to assist him. After the two of them read the book given to them by Zhu Han, they went to look at the account books sent by the Ministry of Revenue.
, both of them had the same idea: There is something wrong with these account books!
Hu Weiyong's heart trembled when he looked at the account books of the Ministry of Household Affairs for the tenth year since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
If it is found out, it will be the biggest scandal since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable how many people may be involved. Hu Weiyong is a mercenary villain, but he also cherishes his feathers. If after the investigation,
If a shocking news comes out, Hu Weiyong will naturally gain Zhu Biao's trust, but he will offend the entire court.
Thinking that he might be attacked by a group, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but his legs trembled. He looked at Zhu Biao and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
"Of course we have to get to the bottom of it!"
Zhu Biao's voice was very firm, but he also understood that it would be difficult for him to investigate. After thinking about it, he said to Hu Weiyong: "Go find my uncle!"
It has become common sense to go to Zhu Han when you are in doubt. Zhu Biao feels that only Zhu Han can do this kind of thing well... even better than Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Hu Weiyong heard that Zhu Biao was going to find Zhu Han, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
This was also the answer he thought of. With Zhu Han coming forward, everything would be settled.
But before going, Hu Weiyong reminded Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, we must protect this place. If some villain takes the risk, we won't be able to find anything."
"Well, I'll call Li Jinglong over."
Zhu Biao ordered Li Jinglong to take good care of the palace and not allow any flies to fly in. Then he took Hu Weiyong and headed to the British Palace in a hurry.
