The Quanzhou branch of Huaxing Co., Ltd. is right next to Tseng's good-brand firm, and the relationship between the two companies has always been good. Originally, many of the clerks in Huaxing Co., Ltd. are good-brand clerks, so the relationship cannot be bad. Zhonghua Company-Huaxing Co., Ltd. Mainland affairs
The person in charge, Xu Xinsu, is currently supervising the accounting in the branch office, because Yin Feng will come back soon and will definitely come to check the accounts. The shopkeeper of the Quanzhou branch is Mai Xiaoliu; he has been the person in charge of the Penghu Commercial Center camp for half a year,
The entire camp was turned into a fortress, and his relationship with the flood soldiers who came to patrol every year was not bad, which fully demonstrated his flexibility and overall perspective. Therefore, Yin Feng transferred him to Quanzhou Branch as the shopkeeper to practice his work first.
Let’s talk about ability later. There is no way. Now we can only rely on exploring and discovering talents a little bit. Chinese companies still lack talents who can take charge of their own business.
Mai Xiaoliu has a natural aversion to numbers, but he is very perseverant and insists on learning all kinds of knowledge. Now he looks like a shopkeeper.
He was reading the latest issue of "Business Daily" in his room. This is a printed matter of the Business Information Department of the Ministry of Commerce of the company. The company has explicitly ordered all semicolon shopkeepers outside to read it. It has only been two years since Mai Xiaoliu started learning to read. Now he is reading this
It’s still very difficult to eat.
His advantage is that he is open-minded and eager to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions. As long as others know more than him, he will ask. Therefore, at this time, there is also an accountant sitting next to him so that he can ask questions about words he does not know at any time.
There was a sound at the semicolon's door, and someone shouted: "... Who is throwing stones? You are looking for death! You are a ghost!"
Mai Xiaoliu raised his head: "Sir, go and see what's going on."
The accountant was sitting there feeling bored and wanted to stand up and go for a walk. He took three steps at a time and walked outside. After a while, he came in with a tattered piece of paper in a panic. "Shopkeeper Mai, this, this, this," he said.
This is..." He was a little embarrassed when he spoke. Mai Xiaoliu raised his head and took the note curiously. The paper was of poor quality, like the paper used to wrap herbs in the pharmacy. There were four red words written on it.
"Be careful, what are you being careful about?" Mai Xiaoliu asked the accountant in confusion, while spreading the paper on the table.
"Be careful of assassination!" Mr. Accountant said carefully, with panic in his eyes.
"Assassination?" Mai Xiaoliu muttered the word several times, and suddenly his face turned pale. He stood up and asked in a trembling voice: "...Ship owner, when will you come back?" In the entire China United Company, who is the most worthy of assassination? This question
Mai Xiaoliu can figure it out with his toes.
"Today..." Before Mr. Accountant could finish speaking, Mai Xiaoliu had already rushed out the door, passed through the main room at an unprecedented speed, and crashed directly into the accounting room. With a "Bang!", the door was almost knocked off the bolt.
The accountants who were busy calculating the accounts were shocked and raised their heads. Xu Xinsu was very dissatisfied and said: "Shopkeeper Mai, what are you doing?"
Mai Xiaoliu ignored the explanation and handed the note under his nose. "What the hell..." Xu Xinsu took a breath after just one glance, overturned the chair and stood up without caring about anything; "What's going on? What?
When, who brought it?"
Mai Xiaoliu said: "There was a commotion at the door just now. Mr. Qian, the accountant, brought this after he went out. There is no time to trace the source of the note. Today is the day when Captain Yin enters the city. Send someone to inform him immediately!"
During the purge at the beginning of the year, Xu Xinsu's status was not affected at all, and her position was very firm. She publicly stated that China Company was invested by brother Li Dan, so he would definitely support it. At this moment, he also understood that if something happened to Yin Feng, he would just get better.
The China Company was bound to collapse. Therefore, he quickly ordered five men who were capable of fighting and killing to immediately rush to the south gate where Yin Feng was scheduled to enter the city and stop Yin Feng's carriage; at the same time, he immediately sent a message to the Zeng family and
A second group of people were sent to each city gate to prevent Yin Feng from entering the city from other gates in order to stop him in time.
At the same time, Mai Xiaoliu also asked about the situation: It turned out that two beggars passed by the gate of the Quanzhou branch of Huaxing Branch just now and suddenly threw stones into the gate of the branch. After the clerk drove them away, he discovered a stone
It was wrapped in paper. Written on the paper were the four words "be careful about assassination".
He ran back to Xu Xinsu, who had just sent out the third group of people; two guys who could ride horses rode out of the city, intercepted Yin Feng on the way, and told him to be careful about assassination. Mai Xiaoliu was already holding two guns from the Taiwan Weapons Factory of the China Company
He had two of the latest flintlock pistols on his waist, and he was full of murderous aura; after all, Mai Xiaoliu was the one who followed Yin Feng to fight his way out of the pile of dead people in Manila. Xu Xinsu knew that Mai Xiaoliu would definitely go and save him personally.
Yin Feng, but felt that it was not good for him to be so fully armed on the streets of Quanzhou, so he kindly said: "Xiao Liu, you look like this, I'm afraid..."
Mai Xiaoliu glared at him with a look that could kill, and Xu Xinsu immediately stopped the topic knowingly.
Mai Xiaoliu said unceremoniously: "Dr. Xu, can you lend me your carriage?"
Xu Xinsu nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
…
Yin Feng met many people along the way from Haicheng County to Quanzhou. Many nearby businessmen and aristocratic families came to invite him as a guest. Some wanted to do business, some wanted to invest in shares, and some wanted to
Arrange for my nephew to go to China Company to work and study.
Therefore, Yin Feng was delayed a little longer on the road. By the time he arrived at the foot of Quanzhou City, it was already three days later. At this time, there were two carriages in his team, his own carriage at the back, and Anhai merchant Chen in front.
Hai's carriage; this Chen Hai is Chen Di's distant nephew who sold the boat to Yin Feng when he went to Manila.
Now, Yin Feng is not on his carriage, but with Chen Hai. Chen Hai has invested 10,000 taels of stock in China United Company, and is also a large shareholder. Everyone knows that China Company has a high salary in labor and food, and he wants to arrange
His younger brother, who failed in the imperial examination, has joined the company and is recommending it to Yin Feng.
Yin Feng was persuading him: "Let my brother-in-law study physics with you first? Why go all the way to Taiwan where you are not familiar with the place?"
Chen Hai smiled bitterly: "My younger brother has failed the imperial examination several times, but his character is still very high. He is afraid that if he studies physics in his hometown, he will be ridiculed by others..."
"Doing business is the right way. Why are you afraid of being laughed at? It's not that the company has high requirements. Your brother has only read books about sages since he was a child and knows nothing about anything else. However, our company pays attention to technical fields and specializes; the Ministry of Commerce has a construction department and a materials department.
, transportation department, money and grain department, branch office, accounting department, and many other subjects, crafts, construction, and cultivation are all knowledge, and I’m afraid I’ll have to start from scratch!”
Although Zhonghua Company has recruited many people who failed in the imperial examination, Yin Feng still lacks talents to do practical things. His concept of talent utilization is to let professional people do professional things. However, the scholars produced by the traditional imperial examination education
They all have the same comprehensive basic education, and then they wait until they pass the imperial examination, and then rethink actual government affairs based on their own personality and qualifications. When they have gained insights from the research, their term expires, they are promoted or transferred; those who work hard on practical things may offend their colleagues and superiors.
, and being dismissed, it was actually difficult to do anything practical; most of the general affairs of local government officials in the Ming Dynasty still had to rely on subordinate staff and staff masters, so it was easy to collude with the local government; therefore, most local officials
Time and energy were wasted in personnel struggles.
After all, it is rare for hundreds of years for a talent like Wang Shouren to be able to become a general or prime minister, and it mainly depends on personal nature and has nothing to do with education policy. Therefore, Yin Feng has no idea about those who think they can learn to do high-intelligence games like eight-legged essays.
The scribes who thought highly of themselves were very disgusted.
Chen Hai felt embarrassed when he saw that Yin Feng seemed to be trying to evade; he knew that his brother's sour scholar temper might indeed make him unsuitable for practical work. Yin Feng thought about it and said, "In this case, if he is willing to come to Taiwan to teach,
I welcome him. He can go over there and teach the company kids."
Chen Hai bowed and said: "It's funny, thank you so much to the captain. I'll go ask my younger brother first."
A guard on horseback outside the carriage shouted loudly: "Captain, Quanzhou City has arrived."
Chen Hai and Yin Feng bowed to each other and said goodbye to each other on the side of the avenue.
Yin Feng returned to his carriage, looked at Mai Waner's rosy face with a smile, and said teasingly: "Sitting alone is boring, right? Do you miss your husband?" He picked up Mai Waner's slender body and put him down.
On his knees, he said to the outside of the carriage: "Ji Zai, come into the city!" Then he aimed at the little woman's mouth and kissed her, making Wan'er gasp for breath...
Satisfied, Mai Waner lay on Yin Feng's chest and said softly: "This year, will you take my father over too? The new brother from Yazhou said: The tax envoy will come to fish for pearls again, and our village will suffer again.
Already..."
Yin Feng nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to pick up your father right now, and let Xiao Liuzi go."
In the driver's seat in front of the carriage, Chen Zhongji and Yan Siqi were crowded there talking and laughing; "When will you marry that Xilan home?"
Ji Zai blushed: "Who said you want to marry her?"
Yan Siqi made a face: "She is studying in Fanxue, who comes to see her every day?"
"Pull him down, where have you not been?"
There were 10 guards on each side of the carriage, and only two were on horseback. At this moment, no one knew what was about to happen, so they all looked relaxed. In fact, there were not many people walking on the left and right, and it was the busy harvest season.
Everyone was working in the fields and had no time to pay attention to them.
Ahead is the South City Gate of Quanzhou.
Quanzhou was originally located in Wurong Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, and the state government was located in Fengzhou Town, present-day Nan'an City. Fengzhou is an inland port with inconvenient transportation and narrow ground, which is not conducive to economic development. At the same time, due to changes in the geographical situation, the land in today's Quanzhou City has risen, and at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain
Alluvial water and swamps turned into land, with convenient transportation and a wide range. Therefore, in the second year of Tang Jingyun (711), the state moved 5 kilometers to the southeast, which is now the urban area of Quanzhou. Marco Polo called Quanzhou "Citron", but now Quanzhou City has
There aren't many Erythrina trees left.
The few soldiers guarding the city gate today were wearing uniforms and sitting listlessly at the city gate watching the pedestrians coming and going. They had no enthusiasm at all to perform official duties. When Yin Feng's carriage entered the city gate, they didn't even bother to take a second look.
"Boss, don't you need to check this carriage?" Xiao Bingjia asked.
The soldier's head was as steady as a rock on his chair: "You don't have eyesight, have you clearly seen whose carriage this is?"
Xiao Bingjia took a closer look and patted his head: "Hey, it's Captain Yin's carriage, I'm so dazzled!"
The little soldier said: "Inspect other people's carriages and get some small money by the way. That's robbing the rich to give to the poor. If you go to inspect Captain Yin's carriage, your wife will definitely not let you go to bed when she comes home."
Xiao Bingjia smiled and nodded: "That's right, my brother-in-law is eating and working in the shipowner's shipyard. Captain Yin is a hero. He is different from those heartless rich people. He..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp scream came from the other side of the city gate, and at the same time there was the sound of swords and soldiers clashing. Several soldiers were immediately frightened to death.
