"Master Zhu, you have to act according to your conscience. You said that I, Mr. Su, do business... because I am eager for quick success, but I didn't say that I treated you badly, right? Why do you call me poor? Speaking of Zhu
Young master, are you short of money now?"
Su Xigui is a smart person.
Zhu Hao cried for poverty, there must be a reason for crying for poverty. What he was thinking in his heart was that he must not be blackmailed by this kid.
Whether you want to ask him for the purchase price of glass products, or you want to ask for the so-called 10% for selling salt, you just don't give it.
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I'm not short of money."
Su Xigui's eyes widened: "You don't have any shortage of money?"
"But it doesn't mean that I won't be short of money in the future." Zhu Hao spoke directly.
Su Xigui: "..."
"This money must be used to generate wealth, so that it can be recycled and regenerated endlessly. If the source of money is cut off, sooner or later it will be empty."
Zhu Hao was reasonable, but to Su Xigui's ears, it was completely unreasonable.
Su Xigui disagreed in his heart, but he helped make suggestions: "Little Master, didn't your mother buy land and have to live on renting it? Could it be that it was taken back by the Zhu family?"
"That's not true," Zhu Hao said.
Su Xigui was a little angry. From whom did you learn this way of speaking out of breath?
What are you saying to me since the land has not been taken back? Are you not trying to tell me what to do if it is taken back in the future? As far as I know, your mother did not spend all the money to buy the land.
Besides, after the Zhu family took over your house, they started making trouble with the government and arresting illegal salt dealers. Wouldn’t they succeed in such a big battle in the end? Should we take your family’s land and split it up in name?
Will you give in easily?
Zhu Hao sighed: "Dr. Su, let me put it bluntly. My mother is going to open a store recently, but we don't have the resources. If we want to sell the goods after they come in, we need to have connections."
Didian was a warehouse for merchants to store goods, trade, and live in this era. It also served as a warehouse, shop, and guest house in later generations.
Su Xigui frowned when he heard this: "Your family has a big business, and your income is only a few thousand taels a year. Why would you choose a hard-earning business like Di Dian?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat. Don't you even do Dongzhu Su's business? Otherwise, why would Dongzhu Su come all the way to Anlu?"
Su Xigui became anxious when he heard this: "Is this the business of an ordinary restaurant? I am..."
Having said this, seeing Zhu Hao's smiling little face, Su Xigui instantly seemed to understand the purpose of Zhu Hao's nonsense with him. He immediately turned off the phone and stared at Zhu Hao for a while before asking: "Little Master, aren't you?
Do you want me to hand over the business I made with Prince Xing’s Mansion to you?”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Zhu Hao's face became even bigger.
"If you don't say that Mr. Su is good at doing big business, then it's obvious at just one point. I haven't even pointed it out yet, but Mr. Su has already revealed it..."
Su Xigui wanted to curse after hearing this.
You are the one who knows it, and your whole family knows it!
Can your kid speak?
If he were to face others, Su Xigui would definitely let them see how terrifying he was in showing off and how hard he was to speak. However, when dealing with an "exclusive supplier" who could provide in-demand goods and make a lot of money with each batch of goods, Su Xigui wanted to get rid of him.
His face didn't look confident either.
Zhu Hao continued: "Didn't Mr. Su himself say that next year Huangfantai will be promoted to the imperial court and become the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? At that time, can you still take care of the business of a small place like Anlu?
The relationship with the Prince of Kexing always needs to be maintained. You can't come in person. It just so happens that the Di shop opened by my mother can help you with this. One family will take the credit and two families will take the credit, and no one will suffer..."
Su Xigui waved his hand impatiently, meaning that you should avoid talking as soon as possible, and his tone became extremely impatient: "I am doing some small business with the palace, do you like it?"
Zhu Hao said: "Dragon Master Su is so impressed that he wants to do it himself. We are locals in Anlu and we are already doing business in the residence and shop. Why don't we treat it like a treasure?"
Su Xigui frowned.
I finally managed to open up the world through connections, and finally had in-depth cooperation with Prince Xing's Mansion. Oh, when you came here, you told me to transfer the business to you?
I’m so embarrassed to speak up!
Feelings: Why are you crying for poverty with me, not because of lack of money, but because you want to take advantage of my business with Prince Xing’s Mansion in a different way to gain political resources?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "I'm not saying that I can take it as my own, but whatever goods Su Dongzhu has can be directly stored in my store. If Prince Xing's palace needs it, he can withdraw it from me at any time..."
Su Xigui said angrily: "Master Zhu, you are really good at planning things as you wish...Since you know that this business is not just for making money, why should I let you go through it? Can't I do it myself?"
Zhu Hao said: "It doesn't matter. Shopkeeper Ma is here. From now on, you can ask Shopkeeper Ma to work with my mother and me, and we will pay him for his work! Boss Su doesn't need to place anyone else here... My mother and I will treat it as our own."
I will help you, Boss Su, and be responsible for wrapping up your business in Anlu, Boss Su!"
After Su Xigui heard this, he slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Zhu Hao: "You...you...are simply too bullying!"
Su Xigui felt aggrieved.
When I arrived in Anlu at the beginning of the year, I suffered at the hands of your grandmother. Will I, Mr. Su, still fall into your hands today?
Zhu Hao said helplessly: "If Mr. Su doesn't want to hand over the local business to me and my mother, there is nothing we can do. Otherwise, we should implement the original contract and give me a share of the profits from your official salt business..."
"Not sure how much 10% of the income is? Boss Su gave me the accounts to review. I am very fast at calculating accounts. I don't need an abacus. Just give me a pen and paper, and I can clarify your accounts for a year in one day...
…Don’t you, Mr. Su, keep all the account books and other things with you?”
Su Xigui suddenly had the urge to bang his head on the table.
After calming down, Su Xigui sat down again, shook his head and laughed.
He figured it out.
Zhu Hao came prepared.
In the past, he didn't mention the 10% profit to him. He thought that the gold and silver given to Zhu Hao in Shangkuang Village at the beginning of the year had blocked Zhu Hao's mouth, and his feelings were left here waiting for him.
"Master Zhu, if you want to do business at the residence, I can definitely help you, but if you want to interfere in the business between me and Prince Xing's Mansion... you can't justify it, right?
"Besides, if Prince Xing's Mansion wants to do business, it will only look for big merchants. With your and your mother's connections and resources... Prince Xing's Mansion may not look down on you!"
Su Xigui began to seriously discuss the feasibility of this matter with Zhu Hao, hoping that Zhu Hao would retreat before he encountered difficulties.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "We can't do it, but don't you have Dongzhu Su? In name, we are doing business with Prince Xing's Mansion, but in fact we are just participating as middlemen between Dongzhu Su and Prince Xing's Mansion.
In the transaction...be a middleman, and you won't make a difference...The most important thing is, if there is anything that Prince Xing's palace needs to purchase in the future, just come to us..."
"Dongzhu Su, don't be too busy refusing. Let me analyze the pros and cons with you. You see, Huang Fantai is just the chief envoy now. The emperor is far away, and no one cares who you are doing business with behind him. But
When Huang Fantai takes the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and even becomes the minister in the future, do you think that if you do business with Prince Xing's Mansion, you will not be criticized by people in the court, saying that Huang Fantai is secretly colluding with the local vassal king?"
Su Xigui had already thought of various reasons to reject Zhu Hao, but after hearing these words, he could not express all the reasons.
Maintaining contacts with Prince Xing's Mansion for political gain.
You can also maintain boundaries with Prince Xing's Mansion for political gain.
The two contradictory things can all be solved if Zhu Hao comes forward.
Zhu Hao continued: "Does Prince Xing's Mansion really hope to be associated with Huangfantai Zhengdaguangguang? This is also detrimental to Prince Xing's Mansion, but these days, it is not an official business, and there is no strong background behind it, how can Prince Xing's Mansion do business with it?
"But if we act as a middleman, the situation will be different. I used to work as a companion in the Prince's Mansion, and I also did telescope business with the Prince's Mansion. I can be said to be an old customer. With us as a middleman, Prince Xing's Mansion can purchase it.
All the goods they want, and you can maintain an interest relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion... The people in the court can't say anything... After all, you are only doing business with me, not with Prince Xing's Mansion..."
Su Xigui raised his hand again to interrupt Zhu Hao: "Master Zhu, what you said makes some sense, but the question is, aren't you and your mother afraid of being regarded as a thorn in the side of the court?"
Zhu Hao asked in surprise: "Has Dongzhu Su forgotten the background of my family?"
"ah!?"
Su Xigui was startled again.
Think about it carefully.
Pig brain, me!
Zhu Hao's family is a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu. This position may not seem high, but the problem is... this Jinyiwei Qianhu is actually sent to monitor Prince Xing's Mansion!
If the Zhu family did business with Prince Xing’s Mansion, people in the court would probably think that the Zhu family was taking advantage of the business to find out information about the Prince’s Mansion, and that it was “infiltrating the enemy’s interior.” Not only would the imperial officials in the court not be involved,
I guess I think the Zhu family has sacrificed a lot.
The one person in the court who is least afraid of getting involved with Prince Xing’s Mansion is probably the Zhu family, right?
It's obvious, who would think that the Zhu family has taken refuge in the "enemy" Prince Xing's Mansion? No matter how stupid the Prince Xing's Mansion is, they will recruit a hostile family that has been monitoring them in Anlu for more than 20 years?
Politics is politics, business is business.
Su Xigui said: "Master Zhu, you are saying that you will not take advantage of me, Su, in vain... You will explain to the people in Prince Xing's Mansion who is supplying you behind the scenes, right?"
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.
How else to say that Su Xigui is on the road?
Only when you see through a situation without telling it off, and instead seriously explore the feasibility of cooperation, can you be called a real businessman.
"It's not impossible!"
Su Xigui finally let go, with a kind smile on his face, "We have business contacts, and we are considered... business partners. Anlu's small business of distributing money and food is not big to begin with. We need to cooperate with local people who are famous.
As far as mutual benefit is concerned, what reason do I have to refuse?
"It's just that in many aspects, I guess you and your mother don't have much experience... In this way, I will call Lao Ma here. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask him! He will be your assistant from now on!"
