Chapter fifty-eight
After Yan Kaiting left the corner of the outer courtyard, he wandered around Yan's mansion aimlessly. During this period, several waves of servants seemed to be looking for someone, but they were avoided by him. It was not until the hour after he decided to postpone the meeting that he appeared in front of the main courtyard.
The "Tiangong Kaitui" management meeting before the trade fair every year is second only to the New Year's Annual Meeting. Similar events are available in various parts of Jiuzhou to facilitate logistics and transportation and convey precious goods information. Most trade fairs in the south are held during summer and autumn communication, and due to the climate and the high-quality shipping period, the trade fairs in Beiyongzhou alternate between spring and summer.
For ordinary trading businesses, they are more concerned about the real estate output, price changes and circulation trends of bulk assets. For major craftsmen, there are more ideas. They should pay attention to the supply of raw materials, the sales of their own warriors, and see if their opponents have produced any unique new products.
Generally speaking, the larger business of the Jiangfu Mansion was finalized during the Trade Fair in the State, especially for the purchase of the part of the monk sect. After all, the fragmentary needs of the casual cultivators are difficult to support the scale, and the pioneering part is to try their luck and find opportunities in various places. Of course, for those time-honored brands that have long been in the industry, quality is the foundation.
However, the craftsman's house that is not a monk like "Tiangong Kaiwu" has a large profit for ordinary tools, but in comparison, it is much easier than the craftsman's house.
The main hall of the main courtyard has removed the movable partitions on both sides, and all the spaces are opened. Except for the throne of the mansion above and the exclusive Xia Pingsheng on one side, the rest of the furnishings are closed and the seats are filled with densely packed.
The main hall was full, and everyone had been waiting for a long time. Many managers stationed outside Yujing City rarely met, and the whispers never stopped.
Some people have a straightforward temper, irritable, or ulterior motives. Occasionally, a few words will come out loud, and most of them can hear the mention of the Lord of the Mansion. But in the end, no one dares to express their dissatisfaction directly, because Xia Pingsheng sat on it and waited for an hour like everyone else. Not only did he not ask questions, he finally closed his eyes and rested.
The manager who can sit in this main hall is a human being, regardless of the position or authority. The undercurrents in the main mansion have been surging recently, and everyone has a record of standing on the side, standing on the fence, and waiting and watching.
On the periphery, a branch manager was talking in a low voice with a craftsman. The seats in the main hall were related to the influence and scale of each branch. It only depends on the location of the two people, and it should come from remote towns.
"I heard that your workshop has a good profit this year. Is the third boy going to marry a wife?" The manager with envious look has been in "Tiangong Kaiwu" for some years, but he is an outsider, his ability is considered to be middle and upper reaches, and he has been out of the country for several years. He is now seeing a shopkeeper in a remote area that has the upper limit.
The craftsman and the manager are fellow villagers, with some unique skills, especially in "shaping". Now that the method of mold opening is implemented in a positive way, he doesn't have to spend time carving objects one by one, and he is too busy just to make molds.
The craftsman couldn't help but smile when he heard his children, and said something, but his tone was full of pride, but his joy was not complete, and he said: "The profit this year is indeed good, but it depends on volume. I don't know if there is such a good thing next year."
The manager is a little unclear, so "It's not good to have a large sales volume? Although the annual growth will always be a bit high or low, since the customer has been recruited and maintained properly, he will not leave just by saying that, right?"
The craftsman shook his head and said, "You don't know that our sales growth this year is all about providing magical embryos to the monks' craftsman's mansion."
"It's not good to have a list of monks and craftsmen's house?"
The craftsman sighed: "Just need the temperature and meticulousness, is it different for whose family to do it?"
The manager also has the skills of a craftsman, so he vaguely tasted some taste and said hesitantly: "If we talk about the purity of the strange fire and the scale of the craftsman, not to mention the Northern Yongzhou, the entire Yongzhou and even the Xizhou next to it cannot be compared with us. Even if anyone can do it, then we can ask us to do it to ensure the quality and construction period. Brother Lin, have you been worried too much?"
Lin Jiangshi shook his head and said, "This year, the workshop's resources and time have been expanding its ability to make embryos. Due to the limitation of mold opening, the finished products are almost exclusively available. Alas, I don't know how to tell you, but although the number of craftsmen in the workshop is increasing, they can independently achieve intermediate or above levels in each link, and there is no one, and even the primary one is decreasing."
After thinking about it carefully, the manager was still speechless, and finally said: "At least the profit is only high or low, and the status of a master like you is more stable."
Lin Jiangshi smiled bitterly, "That's right, it seems to be pretentious for me to say this."
The manager shook his head and said, "Brother Lin, you have always seen things better than me, but I just want to get a product that focuses on such a product. Over time, there may be problems that you are easily controlled by others. But since this market belongs to us, it is actually not easy to invest in the same scale. At least the strange fire of "Tiangong Kaiwu" is not inferior to others, so the risk may not be that great. Did Brother Lin teach me?"
Lin Jiangshi didn't seem to want to have a deep conversation, but he was sincere in his attitude. After asking, they had a relationship with each other since childhood.
So Lin Jiangshi leaned over and said with his ears: "You have turned to business in recent years, so naturally you can't feel the benefits. But I have wanted to reach the realm of a real high-level craftsman since I was a child. Today's craftsman's house may not need someone like me anymore."
The manager was shocked. His face went from confusion to suddenness, and he struggled a little. Then he looked around and saw that everyone was lying together and talking about their own things. Then he went over to Lin Jiangshi and said quietly: "I don't have the ambition of my brother, and I think the situation is already very good at the moment. But... if... I heard that there is a way for the Yitian Workshop in Qi.
After hearing this, Lin Jiangshi's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he showed a meaningful expression. He looked at the manager with relief and said, "Thank you, Brother Nee, don't worry too much, you have to worry about me."
He paused and said with emotion: "Think about you and I have a beard and they came out of the countryside. In the past 17 years, the children have grown to the age when we left our hometown. Brother Nee, you are still as kind as before."
Manager Ni was also aroused by homesickness, sighed, and said, "A few days ago, Dongtun Town... is ahead... Brother Lin should be careful when acting."
But Lin Jiangshi smiled and said, "I can't compare with Lao Fang."
Manager Ni was stunned. In his opinion, Fang Nanen was just a direct advice, and Lin Jiangshi already had the intention to leave. If the master saw it, the fate would probably not be much better.
Lin Jiangshi patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother Nee, you are good at managing, but you are not as smart as some people. The main house is now in trouble. You are not a person who makes trouble. You are abiding by your duty and watch the fun. You are worthy of the protection you have given us over the years. As for me, if I am in harmony, I will leave if I am not in harmony. If I don't do so many tricks, I am worthy of myself."
Before Manager Ni could appreciate the meaning of Lin Jiangshi's words, outside the moon arch of the main hall, someone walked to the high hall and sat down in the empty seat in the middle.
The main hall suddenly became quiet.
Yan Kaiting turned to Xia Pingsheng as if nothing had happened, and said, "Master Xia has come here. I'll let me go to the Snowy Domestic Courtyard for nothing."
Xia Pingsheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, and said lightly: "Have you used the whole time back and forth?"
Yan opened the court and said "hoosh" without defending, but said, "Ah, so that's the case."
Xia Pingsheng said: "Don't explain?"
Yan Kaiting said lazily: "I can't leave the backyard, and even a few women can't control me. Do you still cry to you?"
Xia Pingsheng did not let him fool him this time and said coldly: "When are you going to be able to get through?"
When Yan Kaiting saw that Xia Pingsheng and him were serious, he couldn't help but sit upright and said, "I just ordered the backyard to be cleaned in the morning. Now it seems that there is no need to clean it up. Just throw it out and replace it with a newcomer."
Xia Pingsheng didn't answer his words, but just raised his eyebrows.
Yan Kaiting laughed and said, "How can you clean the world if you don't clean the house? It's time to take a job with the Nengzhang family to take care of it. Which kind of wine does Master Xia like? It happens to be the Fair for Trade in the Food and Trade, and I believe you can find some treasures."
At this time, all the nearby managers were pricking up their ears and listening to the two of them talking.
For some people who have plans, Xia Pingsheng personally asked questions, which was much better than asking someone to jump out and accuse Yan of the court of asking the people who were waiting for a full hour.
But Yan Kaiting was as unrestrained as ever, and brought the two of them in a strange direction. Why did Yan Kaiting want to take a concubine in the end? Yes, Yan Kaiting used a reply, neither marrying nor welcoming, so the person entering the door was definitely not a serious mistress.
Most of the people here know what the owner of the house has been interested in recently. Given Yan's previous record of court opening, several elderly officials who were highly keen on the family style suddenly turned a little dark.
Xia Pingsheng looked at Yan’s court hearing and asked many people’s voices, “Good family?”
Yan Kaiting said righteously: "Of course! Otherwise, how can you take charge of the family!"
Xia Pingsheng suddenly smiled in his eyebrows and nodded and said, "Okay, I heard that the famous wine of Jixizhi Real Estate is made of a sea plant, and it must be unique in flavor." As he said that, he stood up and said, "You are hosting the meeting. I will be in seclusion for a few days. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do."
After saying that, Xia Pingsheng left alone, leaving behind a group of managers looking at each other.
Even Qi Xiong and several other major managers looked confused and even a little confused. Although Xia Pingsheng rarely spoke on government affairs, he sat there as the Dinghai Scientist. After such a slap, everyone felt like they had lost their backbone. Even if there were other plans in their hearts, they were no exception.
The person who watched the show has left. If you are going to perform the show next, who will show it to, and how will it end?
Yan Kaiting seemed to turn a blind eye to the change in everyone's faces. He smiled and tapped his palm, recalling everyone's attention, and said, "Then let's have a meeting!"
