After Zhang San arrived at Chang'an Xingsheng Trading Company, Su Xin was directing people to arrange the reception scene.
"Sir, are you here? Are you sober?" Su Xin asked when she saw Zhang San arriving.
"It's okay. Thank you for your hard work today. I think this is basically set up." Zhang San said while looking around.
"Sir!" Wang Hongping and others greeted Zhang San one after another when they saw him.
"Well, you have done a good job. We will build this place into a landmark building in Chang'an in the future. Come on, everyone!" Zhang San encouraged.
Zhang Sanjiang also bought two shops next to Xingsheng Trading Company at a high price, intending to use them to sell Zhangjiacun's drinks and other products.
In the future, Zhang San’s goal is to take over this entire area and form a large complex supermarket.
Of course, these still need to be done step by step. For now, we should organize the reception first and build a reputation for our liquor.
Sanwei Bookstore is now used by Li Shimin as a place to promote government affairs, and Zhang San doesn't bother to take care of it. Anyway, he just needs people to check the accounts regularly, and pay dividends to the small shareholders according to their shares.
Li Shimin was exempted from Li Shimin's job "magnanimously". Of course, Zhang San scolded Li Shimin secretly many times for this matter.
Because Li Shimin converted this dividend into money for printing the monthly magazine, Li Shimin, an old boy, calculated that based on the current amount, Zhang San would have to pay hundreds of dollars a month, and Zhang San would lose money in a year.
This is still the beginning, and we may not know how many more publications will be added in the future. Shopkeeper Sun said that the emperor is now preparing to expand the monthly magazine to other states and counties.
Before the winery was built, Zhang San had someone notify Cheng Chumo, Chang Sun Chong and others. After all, he had agreed to cooperate with them in the first place.
As for the shop left by Chang Sun Chong, Zhang San did not plan to use it again, because Zhang San had not seen Chang Sun Chong since Zhang San was sent to the border.
Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai complained about this, but Zhang San didn't take it seriously, and some of them dispersed as they walked.
The most reassuring people in the family are Su Xin and Xiaoyu. They usually don't have to worry about Zhang San.
After looking around, Zhang San was very satisfied with the arrangement.
"You don't have to wait until tomorrow morning to hang these banners, you can hang them now, and these poems are hung together. The liquors that are going to be tasted are put in categories, and the other souvenirs are also checked and prepared.
Keep some, just in case.”
"Okay, Sir, I will make arrangements right away." Su Xin replied.
"No rush, just sit down and have a rest first, and let Zhang Fu go talk to them. What's wrong with your feet? Why do you feel a little uncomfortable walking?" Zhang San asked Su Xin to sit down, and Zhang Fu ran over.
After asking someone to hang up the banner, Wang Hongping also went to count the souvenirs.
"It's okay. I accidentally twisted it while walking this morning. It doesn't hurt much now." Su Xin replied.
"Then you can go home with me later. Wang Hongping is here to see that everything is fine. Go back and ask the real person to help you get some ointment and put it on." Zhang San said with concern.
"It's okay, I'll just watch here. It really doesn't hurt much now." Su Xin smiled sweetly, with a hint of exhaustion on her face.
"Just listen to me. Let's go back later. Come back tomorrow if you want." Zhang San couldn't help but said. When Zhang Fu came back, Zhang San talked to Wang Hongping and went home first with Su Xin.
With the arrival of late autumn, the weather became colder and colder. Early the next morning, Zhang San braved the cold and got on the carriage to Chang'an.
When Su Xin's feet came back yesterday, they found that they were very swollen. Today, Zhang San asked her to take a good rest at home.
The younger sister seemed to have a psychological shadow on Chang'an, and she didn't clamor to follow him.
When Zhang San arrived at Xingsheng Trading Company, the place was already crowded with people watching the excitement. Zhang San entered the trading store through the back door.
Not long after Zhang San arrived, Fang Yiai, Cheng Chumo and others also arrived one after another.
"Pregnant, how is your calligraphy practice?" Zhang San joked after meeting.
"It's not bad. Do you want me to show it to you at the reception?" Qin Huaiyu seemed to have not heard Zhang San's teasing and said very proudly.
"Forget it, your calligraphy is just like a ghost painting. It's better to go home and appreciate it by yourself, so as not to bring it out to lower the quality of our cocktail party." Yuchi Baolin struck.
"Xiaobao, what have you been doing recently? Why haven't I seen you?" Fang Yiai asked.
"Don't mention it, my father asked me to study at home and hired a teacher specially. Brother, I am suffering!" Yuchi Baolin shouted with a bitter look on her face.
"Pfft!" Cheng Chumo laughed unkindly.
"Just asking how many gentlemen have you changed?"
"Three!" Yuchi Baolin smiled sheepishly.
"Being your husband is really hard. Can you write your name now?"
"Who are you looking down on? I can already write your name."
"Well, it's not as hard as me. I have to get up before dawn every day and go to the palace to study with the prince. It's so boring." Changsun Chong complained.
"Come on, I think you are too happy to miss Shu. Even the brothers can't see you." Fang Yiai teased.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively!" A fat figure walked in.
"Li Si, it's time for you to lose weight. This guy's belly is ten months old, right?" Zhang San said in surprise when he saw Li Tai arriving and felt that this guy was getting fatter every day.
"Go away, this is Futai." Li Tai said angrily.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei!" Cheng Chumo and others greeted Li Tai.
"Okay, let's not see each other outside. There is no such thing as the King of Wei or the Young Master today. Seeing how casual the mistress is, you don't want to be like this either. We are all friends." Li Tai said with a smile.
"Xiaosan, if you don't consider me a friend, why do they all have shares in this winery, but I don't?"
"Your Majesty, the King of Wei, do you still care about such a small profit?" Zhang San said with a smile.
"This is not the same thing. You often say that you are good brothers, that we have gone to school together and carried guns together. How can you favor one over the other?"
"If you want to join, you have to ask them. We are a joint-stock company, do you understand?"
"Joint-stock system?" Li Tai asked doubtfully.
Changsun rushed forward and explained to Li Tai the joint-stock system invented by Zhang San, which suddenly made Li Tai understand.
"Anyway, I want as many shares as they have. It's up to you!" After listening, Li Tai said again.
"Then you just want to take the money, but you want nothing to show for it!" Zhang San said angrily.
"Didn't I give you all my hot springs? Just think of it as money from the investment."
"You're beautiful, I haven't told you about the salt mine yet."
"Stingy guy, I'll have someone deliver it to you later." Li Tai curled his lips and said.
"Xiaosan, I have to say that you can always come up with something unexpected. This cocktail party looks very extraordinary!" Several people went to the cocktail party to take a look at it and praised it.
"That's not true, brother, my head is full of knowledge that you don't understand." Zhang San said with a proud smile.
"I copied a copy of these poems and gave them to me later. They were so well written, especially these two lines: 'If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy. Don't let the gold bottle empty to face the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful. I will come back after all the gold has been spent."
.'It's so wonderfully written."
Li Tai stood under Li Bai's song "About to Enter the Wine", chanted it several times, and praised it greatly.
