Chapter 2064 Cao's Firm's Strategy
But it is not bad that Killing God is willing to help them now. Supported by these precious medicinal materials, none of them thought that less than three days after arriving at the Shashen's house, their first mission came, and several people glanced at the Shashen's depressed, Damn, this They don’t want us to rest at all. They clearly know that several of them are already injured, but they have already agreed with them that they will be enshrined for 200 years. Now you just don’t do things here. Why do they run this for you? up? People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Several people have lived for such a long time and they all know this truth, so they just do things honestly.
Li Cong in the Eastern Empire was almost done after this period of recuperation. He knew that he had made a mistake this time. If he didn't like to rely on luck, his son might not die. If you refine a small silver marrow, won't the situation in front of you disappear? Four tenth-level fighters, this is such a huge force, but I don't know how my son fights, and I lost my own. Life, for many people, this plant life is nothing, and many people don't care about such things. Even if they grow to Xiaoao's level, they will feel that it is just a tool for them, just look at it There are so many good and bad differences, and other people will just be sad for a while at most, but Li Cong knows that he has lost a relative, and he hasn't felt this feeling for a long time. If he can't If I avenge Xiao Ao, I won't feel at ease in my heart in the future.
"Is there any clue?" Li Cong has been working on the city wall for two days. During these two days, Wu Liu has been following Li Cong here, and the food over there has been changed again and again. Yes, Xiaohu and the others also rushed back from the Warcraft Mountains, Xiaohu was the most angry about Xiaoao's death, and ran into the barren hills and wiped out the entire barren hills. I just came out, and I don’t know what to think when I’m lying next to Li Cong. When I heard Li Cong’s question, I immediately pricked up my ears. Wanting to know what’s going on, he was also thinking about giving As for Xiao Ao's revenge, his little master and his temper are so congenial, the two of them often play together. Who knew that when I went back to the Warcraft Mountains once, there was a difference between yin and yang. A friend of a tenth-level monster, if he said he would die, he would die. If he said it, where would he put his face?
"Master, the matter is not as simple as we thought. None of these four tenth-level fighters walked around the rivers and lakes. They should have been famous for a long time. It is not that simple to find them. Our People are already doing their best to investigate, but there is no news yet." Li Cong asked once a day. The answer today is still the same as yesterday. The people in the intelligence department have already used their full strength. I urge them once a day, but intelligence is not something I have in my hands, nor does it mean that you can come out if you want it. Yes, there is really no way to say these words.
"Trash, all of them are a bunch of trash. Usually, what do you feed me? Tell me one by one how good our intelligence system is. Now? I've been investigating this matter for half a month. I don’t even have any clues, I asked the intelligence department to go down to get ten boards, and told them to give me a long memory one by one. If you don’t have the ability, get out of here, there are too many people waiting to go in. up,
There is no shortage of them. "Li Cong said loudly, Wu Liu can only comfort those in the intelligence department. It's no wonder that Li Cong's temper is bad. The intelligence department used to get information quickly, but this Things also vary from person to person. Just think about the current thing, he really can’t have it if he wants it, some things can’t come easily, many need to come slowly.
"Is there any movement in the Eastern Empire recently?" Li Cong glanced at Wu Liu apologetically after he got angry. He knew that at his level, his emotions should not hang on his face. If there are outsiders, you can see a series of things from Li Cong's face, which is very unfavorable to Cao's house. If it takes a long time, I don't know what those people will say about me, so many times Li Cong is not like this, just because Xiao Ao has become like this recently, Li Cong really feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, why did his son get killed, why can't he, as a father, avenge him Go, it is such a mood that makes Li Cong feel uncomfortable when dealing with things recently.
"My lord, King Ning's fiefdom has come down, just as it was said at the beginning, to the north of us is the territory of King Ning, with more than a dozen counties and cities. I think the old emperor must want us to be with King Ning." Fighting to the death, it is best to kill King Ning, and there is another news that King Ning's mother really wanted to pass away two days ago, and the last time I saw King Ning was before King Ning left Beijing , It seems that the emperor's younger brother really couldn't help it, he couldn't even tolerate an old man." Wu Liu hurriedly told Li Cong the news, in fact, he also thought that the news would arouse Li Cong's interest. In this way, Li Cong can somewhat divert his attention, which is also very good for Li Cong. If he is always entangled in this matter, it will be a bad thing for everyone.
"He's making up his mind, but I don't think King Ning doesn't want to fight against us. It will take some time before King Ning comes back. You go down and make arrangements. King Ning has nothing when he comes to the fief this time. We should take care of ourselves." Please help King Ning, and ask someone to send them some things and money. Although King Ning does not lack these, he will definitely have his own things, but we have to express our feelings to King Ning. Occupying his territory is also condoned by his brother, and has nothing to do with us. Our people will tell him that without the help of His Majesty the Emperor, we would not be able to come in. Let the two brothers go. It’s enough to be hostile. I don’t think King Ning will just go down like this. King Ning must have his own ability to leave such an environment in the capital. Didn’t it say that the emperor’s brother was assassinated by King Ning a while ago? Have you escaped?" Li Cong said, no one can destroy this balance in the three aspects.
"Master, we have also investigated that matter clearly. It was the people from the Eastern Empire Magician's Guild who did it, and it was they who came forward to prevent the emperor from killing King Ning, but this time. Next time something like this happens, they will ignore it. It's over." Wu Liu told all the news he got recently, and the fate of King Ning was pretty good.
Li Cong was also a little shocked when he heard the news. The magician's union of the Eastern Empire is stronger than the magician's union of several other empires. Ordinarily, they should not care about such things. These guys are one by one. They only think about their own interests. Could it be that the old emperor asked them to save King Ning's life? Or does King Ning have something they need? If this is the case, you have to get close to King Ning. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
"King Ning is paying more attention. I don't believe it's because we took over King Ning's fiefdom. He became like this after destroying some of his superficial troops. In the past, this guy was working in the east. The empire can be regarded as wind and rain, how could it disappear so quickly, there must be something wrong afterwards, by the way, has our expansion plan in the Eastern Empire started?" Li Cong didn't want to let himself Going back to that pain, he knew that what he was going to do now was not to grieve, if only to grieve there. But I can't do anything. What I should do is to develop myself well, expand my strength, and get more news. Only in this way can I find out the news of those guys.
"Lord, according to our contract with the Eastern Empire, we can now carry out our business in all 2,134 provinces of the Eastern Empire. All these things are going on in an orderly manner, but we feel that The Eastern Empire government is not very optimistic about our cooperation, so the subordinates feel that it is better to conduct a trial run in about 600 counties and cities in the 31 coastal provinces. I don’t know what you mean?” Bai Er came to do it, and Bai Er knew that this was not just a commercial issue, but also a lot of political factors. It is not that simple to start a large-scale entry rashly, if you lose all your money, it is better to come slowly.
600 counties and cities started construction at the same time to build their own shops or other things belonging to the Cao's Commercial Bank, which is already very powerful, but the current Cao's Commercial Bank is already a huge behemoth. It's nothing, Li Cong frowned slightly when he heard this, and the pace of entering the Southern Empire a few years ago was much greater than it is now. Are the current subordinates a bit too conservative?
"Trial operation is possible, but the scale has to be doubled. You must know that the Eastern Empire is different from the other three empires. If it is based on the commercial scale, the current Eastern Empire is at least the same as the other three empires. In sum, here is also double the size of our previous economic aggregate, just let them do things well, now that the chamber of commerce in the Eastern Empire has not responded, we just do this well, and wait for them to respond When we come here, we may have already established a firm foothold, and they have nothing to do with us." Li Cong said, now is the best time to develop, although it is a bit hasty, but this can also let Dong The empire can't react. If you are ready, it is estimated that others will be ready at that time, and this matter will not be so easy.
The scale will be doubled, so Wu Liu agreed and went out. It was a bit difficult in my heart, money and so on are easy to solve, and the most important thing is the manpower problem. If we do it according to the plan, this Among the 600 counties, there are about 3,200 counties, plus some more prosperous towns, the total number exceeds 5,000. This density is definitely not found in the other three empires. This is just a very common business in the Eastern Empire. province, but the economic scale is almost the same as that of the capital of the Northern Empire, and they all see huge business opportunities, but sometimes this business opportunity is not so easy to grasp, and they still need to plan these things slowly Only then can it be.
According to the current scale of a grain store in Cao's Commercial Bank, there are about five shop assistants, two accountants, and a shopkeeper on the store side. There are three carriages on the warehouse side, six coachmen, and four guards. If you are looking for a temporary one, even if it is like this, you need about 20 people. This is still the size of the county, if it is in the county. This scale will be more than doubled, and hundreds of thousands of people will be needed to operate it. This is only a grain store, plus some other jewelry stores, trading houses, transportation groups, wine sales, etc. Things, these 600 counties need at least nearly a million people. Where can I go to find so many people at once?
In fact, Cao's House of Merchant has already started recruiting from the very beginning, in the year of the catastrophe. With the turmoil between the imperial court and the Linghu family, there are plenty of people who can't eat enough. Originally, they could easily get all the buddies. Who knew that there was something about King Ning again. The people here They were all well fed by King Ning. They all showed a lot of hostility towards the people of Cao’s House. The job fair has been going on for three days, and less than 20,000 people have applied for the job. Thousands of them are not eligible. Just get the hell out and go home. If this is the case, it will be impossible to open the door within half a month.
"I really don't know how King Ning did it back then. Now they can't get enough to eat, and one by one doesn't come to work with us. How many people can't get enough to eat now, but they would rather be hungry than come to us. Come to work, even those who have passed the acceptance test don’t want to wear our work uniforms. I really don’t understand them when they say it’s embarrassing to go out. What’s so embarrassing about having a full stomach? Well, if we continue to raise wages, our cost control may not be very good, although it is very important for us to come here to open up the market, but we will not make a loss-making business." Bai Er looked at the recruitment site The cold and helpless said, Wu Liu came here to give Bai Er an order from Li Cong. The two of them didn't know what to do. Go back and talk to Li Cong about their difficulties, but now that the third young master has just left, they all know that Li Cong is in a bad mood. If you go up at this time, the final result will be fatal, and those guys are amazing one by one.
"Who says it's not? I've inquired about it. The laborers around here are basically paid one or two or eight dollars a month. They don't care about food and lodging. These are those strong laborers. If they are not strong enough, they are basically Without this kind of treatment, one person can support a family of three by doing such a thing, but I don’t know why we all got two taels of silver, which is ten percent higher than other people’s, but no one came, I I also went out to ask. These common people know a lot about each of them. They said that we snatched this site from King Ning. His Royal Highness King Ning will come back sooner or later. If they come here to work If so, they will be traitors when His Royal Highness King Ning comes back. Although they are very hungry now, as long as they persist, these days can still pass, at least they don’t need to adjust their heads, but if they come to us In the future, when King Ning comes back, they will be the ones to watch it, and it’s no wonder that everyone keeps their heads off." Bai Er said with a bitter face, they counted King Ning’s influence, but they didn’t think about it. After meeting so many people, this is the fiefdom of King Ning for tens of thousands of years, so those ordinary people have their own reasons for thinking about King Ning. It took King Ning tens of thousands of years to get this. You have used such a small amount of things, there is no comparison, do you want everyone to go out against King Ning? That idea is possible, but it is absolutely unrealistic.
"We can't continue to raise prices. This is just the beginning. Although we are rich and powerful, everything has to pay attention to a cost. Just like one of our grain stores, in a county It can produce 20,000 to 30,000 tons of grain a year, and the turnover is only 90,000 taels of silver. Although our master has a way to get grain, it still costs money. The monthly salary of these twenty people is Fifty taels of silver, six hundred taels of silver a year, others only use half of ours to operate, we paid too much, we can only think of a way." Wu Liu nodded and said, since If you are doing business, you have to consider your own cost. If it exceeds the cost, naturally you don't need to forget it.
"When you say that, I thought of a way. Can we expand our influence first?" Bai Er suddenly thought of a way. In fact, this is not a way. They have their own influence, but the reputation is not very good. If they say it, others will feel bad. For example, they are all invaders. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want this reputation. It’s good for you None.
"Many things are not as simple as we think, but sometimes things are so simple. You see, there are too many people who can't eat on the street. Can we sell some porridge on the street? This can improve our image. Of course, we can supply them free of charge for the first time, and we will rely on their strength to do things for us the second time. If we can do things well, everything will be fine. It was discussed. Slowly come to help us every day to do things for a meal. Can he endure the starvation after he is full? And there must be a class among them. That is our regular employees. The job is less than these temporary ones, but if they get more money, they will think about becoming our regular employees. At that time, most of them will come to us, and this matter will be effective quickly. , I guess it only takes a few days, these people here are almost starving to death." Wu Liu thought for a while and said, they have used this method before, and the effect is still very good . It's just that I didn't think of them one by one at the moment.
"Haha, my good brother, this method of yours is really good. I will go down and arrange it. It will be strange if these people are not fooled. After a while, we can also take those so-called respected people from the former Prince Ning's Mansion together." Those officials are also pulled out, and let them all come to promote us one by one. If we can cooperate well, their benefits will naturally be indispensable. If they are not willing, then we will give them directly. Let's get some color, as long as this grain store can gain a firm foothold in various places, it means that the people of our Cao's Commercial Bank have a firm foothold. This is also a good thing. Slowly, other businesses can also be opened. Let's go on." Bai Er said with a smile, just now he was still frowning, but now Wu Liu gave himself a very good opinion, although it may not be successful, but now he has no idea at all.
In fact, the life of the common people in the city is really not very easy, because when King Ning left, he took away a lot of things that could be taken away, and what was left was a mess. This kind of mess definitely cannot develop quickly. In addition, the firepower used by the people of Cao's Commercial Bank is a bit powerful when attacking, so the misunderstandings of the common people are not small, but now these problems can be solved. , People make money, dead birds die for food, as long as you are still a human being, you will have this weakness.
The next day, the refugee camp in the south of the city. This refugee camp used to be a beggar gathering area. It has existed since a long time ago, but most of the people here used to be beggars, but now these people here used to be beggars. Sometimes they are regarded as having a head and a face, because of the war, they lost everything about themselves, some lost their wealth, some lost their relatives, and they can survive here. It's a miracle, it's just that a person who can change all their fates came here today, no one wants to live in such a place forever, but now they have no other choice, because their stomachs have already been given Their truest thought is that they want to eat.
"What do you say you are walking around? You don't let people rest in the early morning, and you don't have food all day long. We deserve it, but things like sleeping don't cost money, right? Just go, don't hang around in front of me." A young man who looked pretty good said, the workman next to him should be his girl, their family used to be very good, but because of the war, their family was destroyed. It was blown up, and now I can only go to the refugee camp, but even here, this guy always wears his own clothes and sets up the exhibition, and more often he just plays happily.
"Master, something has happened. The Cao's House offers free porridge today. Shall we go and see? We haven't had anything serious to eat for several days." The little maid said while rubbing her belly. For a period of time, every day is full of bark.
"What? There is such a thing? I really didn't see it. The people in the Cao's Commercial Firm are still conscientious, but their food should be robbed from His Highness King Ning. We should not go there. These things If it is really eaten, when His Royal Highness King Ning comes back in the future, it is better for us to look good, and it is better to be honest. Didn’t the court say that there will be food relief? Wait a few days. Come soon.” The guy said, he This little girl almost fainted, and this young master in her own family is going to become a nerd, the relief money from the court? Don't be so naive, okay, the court can't even manage its own affairs now, how could it care about you, if it really does. It should have come a long time ago, and it can make them hungry to this level.
"But a lot of people went to eat. Both your former classmates went, but they didn't say anything. They even said that His Royal Highness Ning Wang would not come back. This piece of land will be the fief of Cao's House from now on." The little girl said a little unconvinced, that means his young master is just a nerd, whoever cares about such a thing, must have eaten it a long time ago, and now he is going to be so hungry, if there is no food. Everyone will starve to death, King Ning? That seems to be a word in my mind. At the beginning, I thought that King Ning would come back, but now it seems that it is an impossible thing. Look at the fleets of Cao's House on the sea, how much King Ning will use Can the army regain what it lost?
"These people are a bunch of scum, and the heavens will send great responsibilities to them. We must first work hard, work hard, and starve our bodies. This is God's test for us. How could we pass so easily? Those people People will definitely look good on them in the future." On the first day, less than 10% of people ate it. After these people ate it, they caused quite a stir in the refugee camp. In the eyes of many people, they were the same as this nerdy young master. They are all gone, if they don't stay here well, even if His Highness King Ning comes back in the future, he won't get their family property back for them, this is just courting death.
Not only did they not eat it themselves. He also told those who ate, and even secretly wrote down these people, thinking that when His Royal Highness King Ning came back, he would hand over this. At that time, he would have made a great contribution, let alone Take back the things in my own home, I guess the things in the homes of the people I remember their names are also my own. His Royal Highness King Ning has ruled here for tens of thousands of years. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to take this place back so many times. It's impossible, what is the Cao's firm, how can it be more powerful than the government of the Eastern Empire? There's bound to be something going on here.
On the second day, 20% of the people around this young master went to eat, but these people took longer than yesterday's people, and these people started working in the grain store of Cao's House Now, they are all telling themselves that they are so hungry that they can’t take it anymore, they haven’t eaten for several days, and seeing so many people eating, what are we afraid of? If His Royal Highness Ning comes back, it is impossible to do anything to these people. If that is the case, there will be no people left in the territory of His Royal Highness Ning. I didn't ask them for anything after a bite of food, it's nothing, I just don't go tomorrow.
The young master naturally scolded those people again, and remembered several people by the way. Those guys were all like him yesterday. They were very stubborn and would not eat anything. , They all say that even if you starve to death, you have to maintain your reputation, but today is different, the taste of the hot porridge directly makes them all go crazy, this feeling is really wonderful, if If I don’t let myself eat it, I feel like I’m going to die. These things are so delicious. Why didn’t I feel that there would be such delicious things when there was food before? Compared with this, those delicacies from mountains and seas are nothing. up.
The young master's maid is not in the tent this morning, the young master asked around and didn't know what to do, the young master had a bad idea in his heart, that is, this girl also went, and I didn't think much about it before. What a big family, but there are also several servants who serve him, and now he is the only one left, and his maid has also left him. Forget it, those who are in trouble have their own ideas. His maid was also written in his little book. After all, he had served him for so long, and he wanted to hide it. When someone asked about his maid, this guy said he had gone to work for him. His contrived things are always so funny in the eyes of others, but in his view, this is possible, and this is all because of what everyone thinks in their hearts. Those who look at him more funny think that King Ning is not Those who will come back, he himself is firm that King Ning will come back, and he is extremely firm. Each of these people thinks that way.
On the third day, 40% of the entire refugee camp went to Cao's House of Commerce. They all ate very well, but something different happened today compared to yesterday. People have started to be treated differently. It's not the same as yesterday, as long as they work, they will be given food. Today, it seems that regular people can eat steamed buns every day when they go to work. It's definitely not something like porridge that can't eat enough. They all do the same work. Why those who put on clothes can eat steamed buns, porridge and a little pickles, but they can only eat a bowl of porridge per person, and the attitude of those people from Cao's House is not very good to them, In their words, those are their own buddies, so it is natural to let them eat better. Naturally, there is no need for these people. Why do you eat so well. You have nothing to do with me in the future.
These people also have their own bottom line in their hearts. For example, they all understand the matter of entering Cao's firm to work. There are definitely two things to eat and join other firms. The young master today I really couldn't take it anymore, so he went too, damn it. After carrying the sacks for a whole day, I transported the grain from the Cao’s House to the warehouse from the car, and got out two bowls of porridge. You can eat it if you work. But this young master is not a person who takes advantage. What he thinks in his heart is that he has to keep his body in order to serve His Highness Ning Wang in the future. As for letting him join Cao's House of Commerce, it is a million times impossible.
Regarding the white-faced steamed buns that those people ate, it's not that they didn't drool secretly, but I am also a scholar, and I can't have no choice like those people outside. When he came back today, it was different from before. In the past, because he was a scholar, many people would always come to listen to his opinions around his tent, but the people who came here today There are really too few, there are only two other scholars, and the others may feel that they have already eaten the things of the Cao's House of Commerce, or have become employees of the Cao's House of Business, so it is not too much to hear here. of use.
On the fourth day, the day passed just like yesterday, and the rest of the refugee camp couldn't hold it anymore. Looking at the strong appearance of those who were eating, and the fact that the scholars in the refugee camp had all gone to eat , How can they hold on? This body is not made of steel. Today is also the day when the Cao's Commercial Bank received the most people. They have sold nearly tens of millions of catties of grain among these hundreds of counties. *** is definitely not a small number, but today is also the day when the Cao's House recruited the most people. As many as 500,000 people became employees of the Cao's House. Wang Neng is back, and the most important thing that Cao’s Commercial Bank employs them now is that they can predict the salary a few days in advance, and they can also exchange it for grain. The price is different from other grain firms. Other grain companies have reached 25 Wen or even higher, that is, the spirit of peace that those people preach, but they are making a fortune.
This young master also came back from a day's work. He was so tired that he was dying. Now there was no such thing as King Ning in his heart. What he was thinking about was another thing. But the foreman said that there will not be so many places tomorrow, and they will have a fixed person to work tomorrow. If they want to do it, they have to go there early tomorrow morning. If they can't get there, they can only be I'm hungry, Cao's House is a business, so it won't take out so much food every day to do good deeds. Thinking that today will pass before dawn, it seems better to go there early tomorrow.
"My God, you actually have meat buns here. You guys are living a good life. The meat tastes so delicious. How did you get it..." Just as this guy was thinking about when he would go there tomorrow At that time, such a voice came from a tent next door, and he also asked about a kind of fragrance, which stimulated his stomach to be very restless after only drinking two bowls of porridge. Such a good thing, I haven't known the taste of meat for a long time, this kind of stimulation is too strong, on the one hand, this scholar's instinct to save face makes him not to care about the affairs of the next door, but on the other hand, this taste makes him I feel that I want to eat this thing so much, I even start to fantasize about it in my mind, meat buns.
"Quickly tell me, how did you get the meat buns? Didn't we work together during the day? Why don't you have this thing if I don't have one?" A guy next to him said incomprehensibly, how could he I don't understand why I don't have this thing, but this guy in front of me has it. I really don't understand. Isn't everyone working in the same way?
"Hehe, we work together and joined Cao's House together. Should we eat steamed buns together? But there is one thing that I am different from you. My cousin is here today, so I drag him We went into Cao's House together, and he had a few brothers. People said that as long as he brought five people in, there would be five meat buns. Isn't that what I have, and I can continue tomorrow Take it, there are five meat buns every day, and you can get them for five consecutive days. You can get them for a few days if you pull a few people in. Now they are short of people, but you have to hurry up. If there are people in a few days If they are all ready, no matter how many people are pulled away, there will be no meat buns to eat." The guy said cheerfully, seeing the one in his cousin's eyes who wanted to eat it, he immediately put it in his hand. I gave one of the buns to my cousin. As for the others, I'm sorry. Although it was because of you, but in this year, we are not close relatives, so naturally the meat buns are more intimate.
One by one, these people are thinking of getting it quickly, and they have to eat meat buns, but this scholar thinks differently. Damn, Cao's firm's trick is really vicious, if they continue like this If you do it, you can really achieve your goal in the future. Many people here already want to go in. These people are playing with their three-inch tongues. There will definitely be more people going in. The Cao family The firm is really very patient. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
