"The goods will take two days to transfer."

The accompanying manager kept sending messages.

"The market merchants are yelling and saying that they were not allowed to buy our goods at the time, but now they are gone, and they are in vain."

Cui Chen glanced at Lu Shungui who was drinking tea calmly and secretly felt admiration.

Lu Shungui is quite famous, but strangely, he did not even become an official.

Cui Chen sat down and watched Lu Shungui's methods and was quite shocked. He felt that if this person became an official, the prime minister would be more talented than to say, and that the most suitable evaluation of him was to become a general and become a prime minister.

Why did Lu hide such a talent and not allow him to become an official?

Cui Chen was curious, but knew that this was the secret of Lu, so others were not allowed to inquire about it.

After hundreds of years of development, the gentry looked tall and noble on the outside, but there were many dirty things inside. Anyone who dared to inquire was his mortal enemy.

Thinking of the things inside the Cui family, Cui Chen couldn't help but sigh and think of Cui Jian.

Cui Jian's talent is not bad, but because his father went there early and there were few people close to him, no one supported him, so no one helped him after he passed the imperial examination and could only climb up step by step with his own ability.

This is herding sheep, throwing some hopeless children into the officialdom, and the family doesn't care about it. Many years later, the family will change their faces and treat him as a core person to cultivate and help.

This is the boundary between closeness and alienation. Some use talents to divide them, but more of them use background to divide them.

There are many dirty things outside, and there are many inside the gentry.

They are all humans!

Cui Chen sighed.

"Jia Ping'an failed this time, but instead brought the emperor to a bad reputation. What would he do?" Wang Sheng raised this question, "Don't underestimate this son. Over the years, his methods have caused a lot of losses to the gentry. Last time, he was even more shameless. He asked Cui Jian to write down the officials who forged political achievements of the gentry, and to impeach his cousin, our family lost more than ten officials as a result."

Cui Chen said: "The goods are gone, can he turn them out of thin air?"

Lu Shungui said: "What can he do?"

Lu Shunzai said: "Brother, this person has a profound plan and is one step at a time. Now you have been disrupted by you, but it is difficult to continue."

Lu Shungui did not be proud of himself and said lightly: "Let's watch it."

"Alang."

A follower came in, "Jia Ping'an convened Chang'an merchants in the name of the Ministry of Revenue."

What's the meaning?

Lu Shungui whispered: "What can he do if he invites the merchants? Replenish money and lets the merchants lower the price? This move is interesting, but it will be a lot of deficit. Dou Dexuan can eat him. But this is also the only way at present. At least, dissipate the people's resentment first. It is normal and interesting."

Cui Chen said: "We may go and buy it?"

Lu Shungui shook his head, "He is an official. Once the hundreds of cavalry are dispatched, our people will not be able to escape. At that time, Jia Ping'an turned against him. What do you think he can do?"

Lu Shunzai said: "He would spread the word, saying that the gentry and the people compete for profit."

"He just hopes our people get in and buy."

Lu Shungui said lightly: "But how could I make him happy?"

...

Today, all the well-known businessmen in Chang'an came to the Ministry of Revenue.

Dou Dexuan squatted in the duty room and drank tea, and admired the newly obtained calligraphy.

Jia Ping'an sat opposite, "Mr. Dou, whose word is?"

Dou Dexuan glanced at him vigilantly, "What's the matter? You want it too?"

"Yes!"

Dou Dexuan: “…”

"I'm shameless."

"What are you going to be shameless?"

The two of them joked that the merchants were here.

"I won't go out." Dou Dexuan said: "If you clean up the troubles you have caused, I will help you."

hehe!

Jia Ping'an said: "Actually this is an opportunity."

Dou Dexuan sneered, "You like to dig pits and bury people the most, but you can't do anything about this matter. Merchants are seeking profits. Can you still make them willingly reduce the price? If you dare to force them, the queen will hang you in the palace and beat you up."

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice."

There was a little noisy outside at this moment, so Jia Ping'an got up and went out.

More than a hundred merchants stood in the courtyard, and there were still many outside.

After seeing Jia Ping'an, everyone gradually became quiet.

"Duke Zhao is here, be cautious."

"Will we force us to lower prices?"

The businessmen kept ringing alarm bells and were always ready to decline.

Jia Ping'an said: "I don't think there is a fixed number of ways to do business. Every successful businessman has his own means, such as small profits but quick turnover..."

Dangdangdangdangdangdang!

Duke Zhao is about to start, everyone should be careful!

The alarm bell rings in everyone's hearts.

"For example, exclusive means, such as beautiful female friends, or tofu Xishi."

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "I used to do business, but later I became lazy, so I handed over the business to the women in my family. I don't care about it if it's a big deal."

Jia's business is quite large. A Chang'an canteen is still the leader in the Chang'an diet world. The teahouse can be said to be a daily profit, and the winery also makes a lot of money.

Some people say that the Jia family has these three businesses enough to make Jia Ping'an the richest man in the Tang Dynasty.

Some people have considered that Jia Ping'an has long been the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, but this person is unwilling to show off, so he has never been known to outsiders.

"I think I still have some experience in how to do business, so I will discuss it with you today."

The richest man in the Tang Dynasty was about to teach business, so everyone quickly calmed down.

What does Xiao Jia mean?

Dou Dexuan in the payroll room couldn't guess, and the tea immediately became no longer fragrant.

"No matter what method is, the most important thing is to publicize it, so that your own business and your own goods are well-known, right?"

Everyone nodded.

“This is the first consensus.”

Jia Ping'an smiled relaxedly, "For example, the Chen family's gourd head is actually in the shop..."

To this day, the rules that were not allowed to do business in the shop have gradually relaxed, and the people's desire to make money is far more intense than the officials' desire to suppress business.

"Because of worrying about being arrested, the Chen family's business hid in the alley and was unknown. However, the Chen family's gourd head tastes good, and this is widely known. So there are many customers, which is called "The smell of wine is not afraid of the deep alley."

praise!

The merchants nodded one after another.

"It's one thing that the alley is not too deep if the wine is fragrant, but what if the alley is fragrant and the alley is not too deep?"

This question is interesting.

"What if everyone knows it?"

Jia Ping'an raised a problem.

"I think the Chen family's business will be better."

This is inevitable.

"I can't count how many merchants there are in Chang'an City, even I can't count them. How can the people count them? How do they know where the goods they want to buy the most?"

"This is what it means to advertise."

When Jia Ping'an said this, the merchants were already itchy.

"Duke Zhao, what are the means?"

"I would like to ask Duke Zhao for advice. If it can be done, I will turn around and make a sign for Duke Zhao and offer it to three incense sticks in the morning and evening."

Jia Ping'an was full of black lines, "How to tell me about this? Every company has its own means, but the most common one is to shout, which made the loud guy shout outside the door. The squid of a certain family is the most delicious, and the furniture of a certain family is the most solid."

"Yes! This is a clever method!"

"I paid a big price, so I found a loud guy. Every day when he shouted, the merchants around him wanted to scold people."

Jia Ping'an smiled, "You have to shout if you have a good idea, but in my opinion, these methods are too rough, no, too low-level."
