Chapter 51:

Xie Zheng had already said that when Zhu Yuan returned to the capital, he would be able to guess who he was. Now Zhu Yuan tried again, he hooked his lips and only replied: [I will talk about it when you return to Beijing]
Zhu Yuan is dissatisfied: [I don't know how young it is] Maybe she can't go back!
【quickly】
Zhu Yuan blinked and contacted what was said before, thinking of a possibility: [You want to get my dad back to the capital? 】
[No]
[That's not it! It's man, just be decisive! 】It's boring.
Xie Zheng:...
He coughed lightly, dropped the sentence "I have something, let's talk back" and escaped.
The opposite Zhu Yuan jumped with anger. Stinky dog ​​eggs, everything will come back! shameless!
In fact, Xie Zheng is not a lie, he really should go out of the palace.
It has been more than half a month since the opening, the operation of Liao Zhai has been on track, the business is booming, and the flow of people is endless. But there is no need for him to worry about it. As early as last year, after the shop was bought, he started selecting and cultivating talents at the same time.
Literacy is a must, business acumen is also necessary, and good character is also needed.
In order to find the most suitable person, he not only asked his uncle Qin He to help recommend, he posted recruitment notices around the shop under construction, and sent people to distribute flyers to lively places such as the city gate.
The recruitment notice will list the requirements in detail. For example, the accountant needs to be good at character and good at arithmetic. For example, the manager must be literate and mentally active. For example, the sales team leader must be literate and eloquent.
The age group is also set, from eighteen to thirty-eight can apply, and then list the working hours, holidays, salary range, food, lodging, work clothes, etc. benefits.
In addition, there is no restriction on hometown, birthplace, and knowledge.
The crowd of people who came to apply for the job almost didn't exhaust An Rui who was coordinating the matter.
In order to interview these people, he also rented a special restaurant box, according to the requirements given by Xie Zheng, from morning to night, interviews, full face for nearly ten days before selecting 20 candidates.
After the interview, it doesn’t count, but you have to start training, such as walking and speaking, such as dealing with people... After that, they have to work. The 20th person has to make time every day for some "brainstorming", tossing about the shop partition planning and Introduction, fire prevention measures, market research, operation direction, etc., as well as what "shop training" and "employee rules" required by Xie Zheng...
After one year, these people all got up. According to the performance of the past year, people are assigned to various positions, and then a group of literate runners are recruited, and the operation structure of this shop is proper.
Nowadays, no matter how popular the shop is, there are shopkeepers to worry about, and Xie Zheng is very relaxed.
He is going to the shop today for something else.
All the bookshops and bookshops in the capital have received posts from His Royal Highness the Three Princes in the past few days, inviting them to come to the "Liaozhai" bookshop to discuss major issues today.
Most of the bookstores have some family backgrounds, or relatives of any adult, or have clan protection. The opening of the Liao Zhai Bookstore caught everyone by surprise, and even if there was Cheng Jiadi’s signature, there was a price war!
Take the guests away! !
shameless! !
Anyway, during this period of time, all the shops were following the ants on the hot pot, so anxious and unable to do anything.
Upon receiving the letter from the Third Highness, they immediately felt that the Third Highness was going to engage in Yaozi - who didn't know that the Liaozhai Bookstore was created by the Third Highness. Letting them pass is definitely to coerce and lure them, such as letting them sell the collection of books to him...
They will definitely not go if they change someone else. But this is His Royal Highness the Three Princes.
I can't help it, I can only listen to it.
When the day comes, everyone will dress up, and respectfully come to the Liao Zhai Bookstore where the guest is like the cloud.
The steward of Liao Zhai had been waiting in the lobby early, and saw them coming as agreed, and smiled and greeted them one by one to the backyard—the backyard of the back-shaped structure was the shop facade, and the backyard was the office of Liao Zhai.
The group of people were all welcomed into a spacious flower hall. The flower hall with the title "Meeting Room" is transparent on all sides and bright and pleasant.
The furnishings in the hall are also simple. There is a long large wooden table in the middle, and a six-legged stone-heart round stool is placed along the table. The upper seat is a grand teacher's chair with armrests, which must be reserved for His Royal Highness.
There are also several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, namely "Integrity", "Pragmatism", "Pioneering" and "Innovation".
There is nothing else.
...... Isn't it too simple? Although they have no status, they are scholars anyway, some of them are Master Juren... Are these three princes too arrogant?
Everyone thought so.
"It's all here?" The low, mute voice that is characteristic of the change of voice came from outside the door.
"Yes, it's all here."
The young man who entered the door was tall and straight, with a clear, loose and thin look, but his expression was serious and calm that did not match his age.
Everyone only glanced at them, and then all bowed and bowed together-facing the prince, even the Juren Master, who did not kneel before the official, did not dare to take it.
Xie Zheng waved his hand: "No gift." I walked to the top first, took a seat on the chair, motioned to them, "Sit all."
Everyone hesitated a little, and at the same time the stewards who wanted to attend the meeting hurriedly led them to their seats.
Soon, the long table was full of people.
Xie Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and when everyone was seated, he went straight to the subject: "Be more casual, I am looking for you to come over today, just to discuss some business."
coming. Everyone secretly thought.
"Presumably you have already read the book prices in Liao Zhai, any ideas?"
Chi, there is still a face to ask!
Literati are somewhat spineless, even if they don't, they can't give up in front of so many colleagues.
Therefore, when Xie Zheng's question came out, there was only silence.
Xie Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Don't you think the price of Liao Zhai books is too low?"
nonsense!
"Well, since I don't think it is, then you probably don't need the low-priced book here."
Everyone was excited immediately.
The courageous asked carefully: "His Royal Highness meant to sell books?"
"Of course. I open a bookstore to sell books and paper."
"Then this price..."
Everyone held their breath.
Xie Zheng curled up the corners of his lips and tapped his long, well-knotted fingers on the tabletop: "Isn't this asking you to talk about it?"
Everyone couldn't believe it.
Xie Zheng's eyes moved, and the young man who accompanied Jing to the last seat nodded his chin: "Jiang Cheng, come on."
During the period of opening, Jiang Cheng performed outstandingly. He has been promoted to manager and was thrown away by Xie Zheng to coordinate wholesale channels.
"Yes!" Jiang Cheng stood up, first gave his hand to everyone present, and then began to introduce, "The books and papers of our Liao Zhai are all developed and printed by ourselves." He did not know where to get a wad of paper. , Distributed to all of you one by one, "Everyone feels and smells, there is thickness and texture, and the tentacles are full of grain. No matter what kind of ink is used, the color will not smudge..."
"Ahem." An Fu cleared his throat hurriedly to remind him. This kid is good with everything else, but the fault of bragging, oh, love of propaganda can't be changed.
Jiang Cheng's conversation turned around, "Our family has produced new styles of paper and made low-priced books, and now we are still studying ink... These pen, ink, paper and inkstones are a good thing, but everyone’s business is not beautiful if it breaks. Speaking, let us invite you all to talk about the business of this booklet and paper. Apart from anything else, everyone wants to make money. Our shop sells 15 articles per book, so it is impossible for you to have 15 articles per book. Go back and sell it, right?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
"It is certain to lower the price to everyone. But we also have to make money, make small profits but sell more, and have to say more than one word." Jiang Cheng paused, seeing everyone in the room staring at him, and quickly continued." We have set a standard here, and the price will be reduced according to the order quantity. The batch starts with one hundred books, one hundred books are counted as one penny per one, five hundred books are two penalties, and one thousand books are three pens..."
The servants on the side immediately sent orders to everyone present.
"This list lists our wholesale prices in black and white. You can check it out."
Everyone picked it up and saw that in addition to the wholesale price of the booklet, there was even wholesale paper, and it was really cheap! !
"Well, the price is very affordable, right?" Jiang Cheng could not miss the surprise on their faces, "especially this paper, scholars can't live without paper and ink for a day. This paper looks cheap, but it can be used in quantity! Everyone can Don’t worry about practicing calligraphy, we can also make money with peace of mind, how great!"
Someone glanced at Xie Zheng, who took the tea and sips the tea, and said, "Needless to say the benefits of paper, how do we know what books you have? How to order?"
"You don't need to worry about these. We will issue a list every month. You can check the order above." Jiang Cheng smiled, "If you have any books you want to order, you can also ask a small person to say hello."
Everyone nodded repeatedly. It's so good, so you don't have to bother to pick it.
Jiang Cheng struck the iron while it was hot, took out the order forms printed early, and sent them to them one by one.
Everyone was busy looking down and studying.
"Click." Xie Zheng put down the tea cup and said casually, "If you wish, you can transfer the existing books in your shop to Liao Zhai at your current price."
Everyone's eyes lit up. This is the real surprise! ! ! With Liao Zhai, the books in their shop are smashed in their hands. If the three princes can take them back at the price, they are really taking care of them!
If so, the bosses of these bookstores were taken down.
The follow-up order matters were handed over to Jiang Cheng to follow up. Xie Zheng led An Fu to leave quietly, detouring around the offices, and preparing to go to the front yard to have a look. The shopkeeper who accompanied him bluffed and hurriedly stopped him:" It must not be used."
An Fu's expression changed, and he immediately reprimanded: "Master, do you dare to stop?"
The shopkeeper knelt down with a "poof": "It's not the little one who wants to stop... It's true, there are too many people, and the master doesn't bring a few people around. If there is a screwdriver who is not long-sighted, the little one can't afford it."
Xie Zheng frowned: "I have been in business for more than half a month, why are there so many people?"
The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "This booklet is cheap, the yard is beautiful, and your majesty’s handwriting. It’s all blamed on that stinky boy, Jiang Cheng, who has been bragging and making a lot of slogans, what’s life? "One of the must-visit attractions", "Sacred place for scholars", "Enlightened place for children", "The closest place in the world to the emperor"... and even compiled a nursery rhyme to sing..."
Xie Zheng:...
It seems familiar.
The shopkeeper didn't pay attention, and then said, "The people in and outside the city love to come and take a look, even if the outsider comes to Kyoto... this is a bookstore, what's so beautiful? !"
Seeing that he was planning to continue talking, Xie Zheng waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, I won't watch it." Turning around, "Go back to the palace."
"Yes!" An Fu glared at the shopkeeper and hurriedly followed.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat.

Xie Zheng is naturally happy because the business of his own shop is booming. When he returned to the palace, Zhuyuan was writing, and he relayed the news a few words.
Zhu Yuan read it and feels happy: [Good thing, I can earn more money to get more commissions! That's it! 】
Xie Zheng was helpless.
[By the way, you said that the manager is Jiang Cheng, right? That's a nice guy, I just lost two example sentences and turned my head around and played so well! have a future! 】
Xie Zheng paused. Why did he say those few words so familiar? Was the co-authoring passed through his mouth?
Xie Zheng shook his head. There are so many things that he has forgotten.
[I remember you painted the layout of the bookstore. Is there a big yard in the front yard? 】
【Correct】
[Then don’t waste it~ Since the shops have become attractions, cultural and creative products, such as small brushes, small books, and small pen holders, such as the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, are all made into head hairpin pendants, not limited to stone carvings and jade carvings. Get all the bamboo carvings. The price is high or low, everyone can afford it, from eight to eighty-eight, every customer will not let it go! 】
Xie Zheng:...
Is this girl in the eyes of money?
[That’s the bookstore] He emphasized, [Selling products, vulgar]
[You old antique, what is vulgar and elegant? Cultural and creative products, it is to use literary, elegant, and vulgar objects, so that the vulgar objects are also elegant! It depends on how to match! Besides, the shop is under the sign of the emperor Lao'er. How can it be vulgar if it is soaked in dragon spirit? Take one back, all diseases will be eliminated, good luck will be bright, and cultural prosperity will be prosperous! I see who would not want to buy it! 】
Xie Zheng:...Also...it's quite reasonable...
No, no, no. Xie Zheng pinched his eyebrows. He cannot be brainwashed.
[Hey, chatting with you this kind of old man is hard. When I return to Beijing someday, I will find Jiang Cheng to discuss it! 】
Xie Zheng squeezed his hand between his brows. Jiang Cheng? Why mention him?
[By the way, how old is Jiang Cheng? Are you handsome? ? Is it white? Do you have eight pack abs? 】
Xie Zheng:...
What the is eight pack abs?
No, what is this little girl asking?
