No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must first clarify our thoughts and prioritize them, and then focus on the key points to make targeted arrangements. This is a habit Gao Pragmatic learned and developed at work in his previous life. So the most important thing right now is to ensure
Gao Gong did not fall from power at the turn of Long and Wan, and continued to serve as the chief assistant and chief minister of life; secondly, to raise Wang, at least to leave young talents in the officialdom of the capital, the scholars and even the royal family.
, a good impression that talents can be put to great use; finally, it is to build its own industrial team to pave the way for guiding the development and transformation of Daming in the future.
To put it bluntly, the first step is to stabilize his family's position in the Ming Dynasty's political arena. This is a matter of life and death. Of course, this may be a bit serious. After all, Zhang Juzheng did not want to kill Gao Gong in history, but just ended it.
His political life. However, if this matter is not handled well, at least during the ten years when Zhang Juzheng was in power, Gao pragmatism would not be able to do anything and could only lurk. Although judging from Gao pragmatism's age,
Hiding for ten years didn't seem like a big deal, but he knew that the future of the Ming Dynasty would be one bad thing after another. It would be better not to waste time if possible. After all, in Gao Pragmatic's view, Zhang Juzheng's reforms in those ten years were really good.
He was not as beautiful as many people in later generations thought, and he did not solve many problems very well at all. What is remarkable is that he became a paper framer like Li Hongzhang.
To put it bluntly, the second step is to make preparations in advance for being named on the gold list and entering the political arena in the future. The advantages of an official family are not only the visible benefits of economic resources, but also the visible benefits of educational resources. The biggest resource that cannot be seen but can be enjoyed is actually
Network. Gao Pragmatic himself was in politics in his previous life. Although he was in a lower position, the principle is the same - there are people above you to support and take care of you, there are people around you to help and cooperate, and there are people below you to cheer for. If you still can't get something decent done, then you are the person
It can really only be said that his ability is too poor. In his previous life, Gao Pragmatism was a secretary, and he usually did a lot of pre-arrangement and checking for omissions and filling vacancies. Pre-arrangement like this has long become a behavioral habit and is not enough at all.
Strange.
The third step is long-term planning, which of course also means immediate benefits - without industry, where will the capital come from to make friends? In this world, of course there will still be some who simply see your child doing well and it is convenient.
A good person who helps you with a little help under certain circumstances. But that is obviously not enough. More people will only come out to agree with you and praise you after you succeed, not to mention that if you have no friendship with them, you
If a tiger falls in danger, can you expect others to risk their lives to save you just out of morality? It's too naive. Gao Pragmatism never dares to expect this. It's easy to add icing on the cake when you have the truth, but it's hard to save someone when it's time.
If someone is willing to do anything to help you when it is time for him, he must make people feel that sending this help will be of great benefit to him! Or if he does not send this help, he himself will definitely be in big trouble! If these two points can be achieved, then
There is no need to worry, there will definitely be people who will risk their lives to save you. But how to achieve it? First of all, you must be rich and you must be able to manage such a large network of people!
Of course there are such things as connections, regardless of money, but first of all, they are unstable. You think that after you die in Pingyang, a friend of your uncle or uncle or a friend you know from poetry and painting will come to you out of moral reasons.
You give me a hand? If this is a big problem for you, what if people don’t want to get involved with you? What if they think that your uncles and uncles are gone and the favor has long since faded? What if they are just cowardly? What if they think that your uncles are no longer around?
Are they simply afraid of trouble? Whether these are present or not, none of them can be determined, so we can’t count on them at all.
The only ones you can count on are those who have interests connected with you. Whether they can get a lot of benefits from you after helping you, or they will lose a lot of benefits if they don't help you.
These connections are the ones that will basically not fall apart at critical moments. Why? Haven’t you heard that “blocking someone’s financial path is like killing one’s parents?” Killing one’s parents is a sworn enemy!
Therefore, if you want to get along well in the officialdom, it is imperative that you have money - it does not mean that you have to give bribes and give money to others, but it is human nature to reciprocate when receiving and sending, right? When you interact with people on weekdays, you are generous.
, never let your friends suffer. No matter whether people like you or not, who will not want to make friends with you? If you are more clever, for example, if you have a business, and your friends think it is not bad, you can invest some spare money in it and follow a share.
Sure enough, you can make money every time. When you make money, you always pay him dividends on time and in quantity. How can people not like you? Can people not trust you? Can people tolerate anything happening to you?
This is the benefit of stakes.
Therefore, if you want to have a wide network of people, in addition to making more like-minded people, you also need to have a foundation, capital, industry, and ways to make money.
The soap industry is a start-up industry determined by high pragmatism. This business was established in the Ming Dynasty and is of course a typical emerging industry. One of the main advantages of emerging industries is that competition is small and profits are high. The disadvantage is that promotion is sometimes troublesome.
But being highly pragmatic is not afraid of difficulties in promotion.
People these days are relatively honest in business, and the popular thinking is still at the level of "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". If a certain company's superior products want to be promoted, they basically rely on word of mouth and word of mouth. To be honest
, this kind of primitive promotion level is simply too weak for Gao Pragmatic, a veteran who has been in the business society for many years.
Of course, since it is a start-up industry, it must be an instant success, which puts forward requirements for the product itself - although Gao Pragmatic believes that he can make a seven-point good product into a very good one and make people believe it, but if the product
It's very good in itself, wouldn't it be even better? It won't be afraid if it blows to the sky.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic is still very concerned about the progress of soap manufacturing. His soap is called handmade soap in later generations. Of course, it is a little rougher than some refined handmade soaps in later generations. But no matter how rough it is, the manufacturing process is still basically the same.
, the saponification reaction had to wait, so he spent more than ten days in Gaofu and several of his subordinates, and finally managed to free up more than a dozen yuan.
Since the fragrance of soap is not as good as that of perfume, there is no distinction between top notes, middle notes, and back notes. Soap fragrance is basically a mixed fragrance that is set once. But the mixed setting also needs to pay attention to a fixative that highlights the main fragrance and adjusts the fragrance.
and essential oils will have a certain impact on the saponification reaction. Therefore, after dozens of tests, although these dozen soaps have been made, they still need to wait for more than ten days for the saponification reaction to be completed naturally before they can be used. However, although it is not yet possible
It can be used, but it can already be smelled. He currently has limited space and limited manpower, so the first batch of trial products does not have many styles. There are only two scents in total: mint scent and laurel scent. Originally, it was high and pragmatic.
The plan is that the first batch of trial products should also include jasmine fragrance, but it is winter after all, and the major pharmacies in the capital do not have much jasmine in stock. Even if they do have dry jasmine, they cannot be used to refine essential oil, so they have to buy it first.
I made a small order and will wait until the jasmine blooms in half a year. Fortunately, mint and laurel are raw materials commonly used by people in the Ming Dynasty to make sachets. Otherwise, Gao Pragmatic would have to change his mind and make sulfur soap first.
