Chapter 432: New Year's Eve

The big problem was solved, and Lu Fei's eyebrows relaxed at this time.

"The paper sales problem has been solved, but what about the books? The books at the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Book Store are so cheap and have neat handwriting that other books can't compete with them." Gu Huaisheng beside him couldn't help but ask.

"Liaodong County should have mastered a carving technique." In this regard, Xie Zhan had no good solution. They could only find someone to study it and see if it could be reproduced.

"Why are there so many new things in Liaodong County?" the head of the Liu family muttered.

His in-laws, the head of the Zhang family, cooperated and began to count in detail, "paper books, liquor, soap and various lotions, various pills, and light and warm winter clothes made of wool, goose feathers, and duck feathers..."

The head of the Liu family answered, "When Wu Ren was in Nanyang, he signed cooperation agreements with big businessmen from various places. After charging a certain fee, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce supplied them with goods and allowed them to become exclusive local sellers. Now, these new products It’s selling well everywhere.”

When he said this, the head of the Liu family had a sour tone. There was a man named Cheng next door to him. He turned out to be a small grain merchant. He went to Nanyang and lost everything. But then, somehow, he won the title of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. With the favor of General Manager Wu Renwu, they obtained the exclusive right to sell various cleaning lotions invented by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce in their local area, and now the business is booming.

Xie Zhan, Gu Huaisheng and Lu Fei were silent.

The head of the Zhang family asked tentatively, "Master Xie, as far as I know, our people in the south also like the soaps and various lotions invented by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. Can we find each other to buy some goods?"

Xie Zhan was extremely reluctant to have the forces of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce intervene in the Southland, but he was very sober at the same time.

He knew that if he stopped him forcefully, it would only arouse the dissatisfaction of businessmen and the resentment of the people.

"If you are interested, you can try to talk to the other party. But I personally feel that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is biased against the Southland. Even if the other party is willing to supply goods to the Southland merchants, their requirements will be stricter than others, and even some We may put forward some conditions that we cannot agree to, to make things difficult for you, or even to reject you.”

The two heads of the family, Liu and Zhang, looked at each other and their hearts sank. What Xie Zhan said was not impossible.

Xie Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is another way."

Everyone looked over at him.

Xie Zhan said, "We can find people to copy them. The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has produced so many new things and sold them so well, which proves that there is a market for these things and that people need such things."

Shameless.

"Aren't you businessmen? It's normal for businessmen to pursue profits. It's better to have things in the hands of others than in your own hands, right?"

The two heads of the family, Liu and Zhang, murmured in their hearts that it was easy to say, but they had to be able to imitate it.

"In the beginning, it doesn't matter if we are just a little bit imitative. We just need to improve slowly. Then if the price is lower than that of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, we will not worry about selling." Xie Zhan believes that there are many smart people in the world. Lu Songli What was recruited was only a handful of people.

The two heads of the family, Liu and Zhang, looked at each other. If so, would they have to postpone the introduction of products from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce? What if the people in the Southland are used to good things and look down on their imitations?

Then, Xie Zhan continued to help them solve the problem.

Gu Huaisheng sat beside him and said nothing.

Today, Gu Huaisheng has gradually agreed with what his grandfather said before. Xie Zhan treats his enemies differently from his own people. His vision is far-term, not limited to the Southland. He and they both prosper and suffer.

In the past six months, he has seen Xie Zhan's efforts. His sincerity can be seen from the fact that he took them to Nanyang and was willing to share Nanyang's profits with them.

After an hour, Xie Zhan talked until his mouth was dry and he finally discussed all the existing problems and came up with a rough solution. He drank a cup of tea and started talking about next year's plan.

"Let's talk about Zhuya Island. When I went out this time, I asked someone who is proficient in farming for advice..."

Liaodong County

While others rest during the Chinese New Year, Lu Desheng and Lu Songli are busy.

Lu Desheng is now the governor of Pingzhou. During the Chinese New Year, he has constant visitors and invitations.

For Lu Desheng, if relatives or friends come to visit, he will ask his eldest son Lu Zhiyuan to accompany him. If officials from various counties come to visit, they must be accompanied by their daughter Lu Songli. Lu Desheng didn't care what others thought, he just arranged it like this.

During the entertainment period, Lu Songli didn't talk much and let her father take the lead.

This is Lu Desheng's home court, and he does his duty. In addition, he also knows that his little girl is still restricted by her status as a Qin family exile.

Lu Desheng treated his eldest son and his married youngest daughter so differently, which surprised almost all the visitors, except Le Guicai and other direct descendants.

Most of these people, local officials know that she is the president of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. For example, Le Guicai and other direct descendants realized that the vigorous development of Liaodong County depended on her design and planning. Several big gains were all due to her planning.

Many officials who didn't know what was going on were muttering in their hearts, what is Mr. Lu trying to do?

They also knew that one of Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Songli was the president of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and the other was just a steward of his paper mill. There was a huge gap in their abilities.

After all, Lu Zhiyuan was Lu Desheng's eldest son, so it was impossible for them not to pay attention to him. To be honest, compared to his father, his little sister, and even his younger brother, Lu Zhiyuan's ability is indeed not that outstanding.

But Mr. Lu's way of promoting his little girl in such a way is still confusing.

But they are all veterans who have been involved in official circles and don't know what to say.

Some people couldn't stand it and went to Tian to gossip.

This person was a cousin of Tian's father who was five generations away from her. Her husband, Tian's uncle, was a herbal medicine merchant. In the first half of the year, Yang Wei's escort agency brought back a batch of herbal medicine from the northeast, which sold very well. Later, Liaodong County became famous, and the other party saw the business opportunity and ran to Liaodong County. Later, he recognized Tian's niece and began to sell herbal medicine back and forth between Chang'an and Liaodong County.

This time, the couple stayed until early winter to collect a batch of herbal medicine in late autumn. After the winter, Pingzhou kept snowing and the road was not easy to walk, so the two simply stayed in Liaodong County for the New Year.

This cousin said that her father-in-law was partial to his eldest son and harsh on him, and did not give him the dignity he deserved.

Standing outside the door, in the middle of winter, Lu Zhiyuan was sweating.

Lv Xiao accidentally caught a cold these two days and felt a little uncomfortable. Lv Desheng was worried about him. After seeing off the guests, he planned to go see his grandson with his eldest son.

Unexpectedly, he heard such a sentence outside the door. Lv Desheng glanced at his eldest son, "Didn't I give you the dignity of your eldest son?"

The suppression from the blood made Lv Zhiyuan shake his head and express his opinion.

"Your second sister's dignity is earned by herself. You and your wife are also enjoying it. What else are you not satisfied with? I want to take you with me. Do you think you can do it?"

Lv Zhiyuan shook his head again and again.

"We have to develop Pingzhou this year. Now we have a lot of things to do. Otherwise, you and your wife can also give some ideas?"

Lv Desheng asked three questions in a row, which made Lv Zhiyuan speechless.

Although these questions were heartbreaking, they were facts. Lv Zhiyuan knew that his wife and his aunt had offended his father, and he couldn't blame his father for his poisonous mouth.

"Dad, Tian and I definitely don't have that idea." Lv Zhiyuan almost swore to the sky.

Lu Desheng snorted, "How to deal with such a relative with ulterior motives? Don't you need me to teach you?"

"No, no, Dad, just watch."
