Yang Xuan helped the old village chief sit down, and then said: "To be honest with the old village chief, I am actually a merchant. I only received such a false title because I have made meritorious services to the court. If you want to be an official,
I'm afraid I can't be of much help, but if you are willing to do business, I can train you."
"It's okay," the old village chief said, "This guy can't even pass the provincial examination, so why should he be an official? As long as he can learn a craft to make a living, that's enough."
"That's no problem, as long as he is willing." Yang Xuan agreed with a smile.
"If he dares to do it or not, his legs will be broken." The old village chief said while waving the three boys in at the door: "If this boy is disobedient, you should be beaten and scolded by adults. You are welcome.
"
The three boys from the old village chief's family came in and saluted: "Young man Yang Jie has met your Excellency."
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said: "Since you want to follow me, you must obey me in everything. Are you willing?"
"Boy is willing."
Yang Xuan nodded: "From today on, you will be my assistant. From now on, please don't call me sir. Either call me husband, or call me shopkeeper."
"Yes, sir."
Very good, smart and well-behaved.
Next, the banquet began, and the people in the village either came to see the ceremony or to toast, and they were very enthusiastic.
Fortunately, Yang Jie and the old village chief helped him a lot, otherwise he might not be able to go back today.
Even so, when he returned to the city, Yang Xuan fell asleep deeply in the carriage.
I slept until the next day.
It can be regarded as the best sleep I have had in recent days.
When he woke up the next day, Yang Xuan took his assistant Yang Jie to the Hu Cake Shop.
This place has now become the office of Shengfa Company.
Now that the price of salt in Yingtianfu has dropped, there is no need for the Hu Cake Shop to exist. We might as well just renovate it and use it as an office.
Anyway, now Shengfa Company has no other business except mineral salt, so there is no need to put on a show.
Although this office is not big, it has a lot of people, and every director has sent someone to take charge.
This is normal, and this is also the case for companies in later generations, and it is also very convenient for Yang Xuan. After all, those directors are from the royal family, and it is not convenient for him to contact them if he has anything to do, so he just needs to contact them through people here.
After saying hello and walking around for a while, Yang Xuan rushed to the hotpot restaurant again.
It’s time to start working on franchising a hot pot restaurant.
During this period of time, Shopkeeper Zhou has inquired a lot about the news. He knows exactly which restaurant has launched hot pot.
The next step is to go door to door to talk about joining.
The first one I plan to visit is Wenhui Building.
As soon as the waiter greeting guests at the door saw Yang Xuan, he immediately informed shopkeeper Xu, who rushed out to welcome him.
"Master Yang, please come in quickly." Shopkeeper Xu greeted Yang Xuan while greeting the waiter: "Quickly, arrange a private room on the third floor."
The third floor of Wenhui Building is the VIP room. Logically speaking, an official with a false title like Yang Xuan would not be arranged to go to the third floor at all, but shopkeeper Xu saw that he was so familiar with the third prince, so how could he dare to neglect it.
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not here to eat today."
"Oh?" Shopkeeper Xu was confused. If he didn't come to eat, why would he come to my Wenhui Building? "I wonder what Mr. Yang can teach me?"
Yang Xuan stepped forward, took Shopkeeper Xu's arm and said, "I'm here today because I have a business to discuss with Shopkeeper Xu."
"That's it. Then Master Yang, please come with me."
Shopkeeper Xu led Yang Xuan and Shopkeeper Zhou, as well as the new assistant Yang Jie, into a cubicle. Although the cubicle was not big, it was decorated with charm.
What is placed in the compartment is not the Eight Immortals table for eating, but a long tea table.
The guests and guests were seated, and shopkeeper Xu also asked the waiter to make tea.
"May I ask Mr. Yang if you have any care for the common people?"
Shopkeeper Xu already knew that Yang Xuan was not only a senior official, but also a shareholder of Wei Xian. The source of his information was the second prince, and the details were very detailed.
"The delicious hot pot restaurant, shopkeeper Xu, you know, that is my business."
Yang Xuan observed Shopkeeper Xu's facial expression and saw that he had no surprised expression. He smiled slightly and said, "I just want to ask Shopkeeper Xu if he is interested in this hot pot restaurant?"
Shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up. This extremely delicious hotpot restaurant was well-known in Yingtian Mansion, and even he had a lot of influence here.
There are always customers who talk about the delicious hot pot while drinking wine, and their words are full of praise for the hot pot. Shopkeeper Xu is not satisfied with it after hearing it too much. After some research with the chef, he also introduces the hot pot.
.
It's just that the base of his hot pot is obviously not as good as the extremely fresh hot pot, so although it has the shape of a hot pot, it doesn't have the spirit of a hot pot. After eating it, most customers feel that it is not as good as the extremely fresh hot pot.
Later, Shopkeeper Xu had no choice but to give up. Now when Yang Xuan asked him if he was interested in a hot pot restaurant, of course he was, because it was a money tree.
"What? Mr. Yang plans to leave the hot pot restaurant?"
Shopkeeper Xu's eyes were almost as round as copper coins.
"No, no." Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Our hotpot restaurant is now open for franchises, so I came to ask Shopkeeper Xu if he is interested in joining."
"What is joining?" Shopkeeper Xu's face was full of doubts.
"We provide the ingredients and recipes, as well as the extremely delicious signature, and you, the shopkeeper Xu, will run it."
Seeing that shopkeeper Xu was still a little confused, he explained it in detail.
After Shopkeeper Xu heard this, he was completely confused. It turned out that this kind of business could still be done.
"Sir Yang, if Weijixian provides hot pot base ingredients, aren't you afraid that our Wenhui Building will steal your business?"
"Shopkeeper Xu, what I always believe in doing business is that if you have money, everyone can make it." Yang Xuan said with a smile: "After all, there is endless money. Let's make money together and make friends. Why not
Why?"
"Everyone can make money?"
Shopkeeper Xu is still confused. You know, in this era, there is no such idea at all. All merchants believe that peers are like enemies. They think about how to defeat their opponents all day long. No one has ever thought about making money together.
This kind of thing.
This is like each martial arts sect having its own unique skills, and they are all afraid of being stolen by other sects. They guard against each other all day long, thinking only about how to kill the opponent and strengthen themselves.
The emergence of Yang Xuan is equivalent to a martial arts sect that wants to display the unique skills of his sect and tell people from all sects that everyone can come to learn and make progress together.
"Is what Mr. Yang said true?"
"Do you think I'm here to have fun?"
"Don't dare, I just find it unbelievable." Shopkeeper Xu said, "If this is the case, Shopkeeper Yang's mind is as broad as the river and the sea."
"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Xu is overly praised." Yang Xuan stopped talking to him and asked again: "Shopkeeper Xu, are you interested in my proposal?"
Shopkeeper Xu nodded and said, "Of course I'm interested, but I still need to think about it for a while."
"Okay, shopkeeper Xu will think about it slowly, and Yang will come to visit another day." Yang Xuan said and stood up to leave, and then when he just walked to the door, he turned back and said.
"It's just that the number of places to join is limited. After all, we also have to protect the interests of franchisees."
