Humane Yongchang

Chapter 3
The cart is a cart drawn by oxen.

Chen Sheng sat on the bare wooden board, and even though he tucked his fur tightly, he still felt cold all over his body.

Xiao Chensheng's physical foundation is really bad...

"Dalang, otherwise we should go home!"

Chen Hu, who was driving, saw Chen Sheng's frozen lips, and he whispered unbearably.

Chen Sheng shook his head and insisted: "It doesn't matter, you continue to say..."

Chen Hu hesitated for a few seconds, then turned around and continued to introduce him: "The 'Changlong Bufang' on that side is the property of the Li family, the prefect of the county. The Li family has been rooted in Chen County for 300 years, and has produced several county officials , the end is a big tree with deep roots and great fortune.”

The so-called county watchers are the famous families within a county.

Compared with the local snakes like the Chen family, they are not even the nouveau riche.

Chen Sheng looked at the "Chimelong Cloth Square" signboard that spanned three doors in front of him, nodded and motioned Chen Hu to continue.

"The 'Abundant Grain Shop' in this room is the property of Wangjiazhuang. Wangjiazhuang is located in the vicinity of our Chen County. It is a leading large village. "

"This 'Youyu Restaurant' is the property of the county chief Liu's family. Mr. Liu has been an official for more than [-] years and has deep roots. Your father has a lot of connections with him..."

On the long street with crowds of people rubbing shoulders, Chen Hu pointed to the stores on both sides while driving, and introduced Chen Sheng to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng listened carefully, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

This is the foundation!

With so many information on large and medium-sized enterprises, how many poor children of a small family have to go to find out what's going on here?

If you don’t even know how to get in the door, you will be stabbed in by these local snakes and sitting tigers, and there will be no bones left!

I will introduce Chen Hu all the way.

Every small-scale shop in this county has either a connection with a certain official, or the surrounding tycoons of the rich and powerful.

Will these people follow the regulation of the market economy when they start their business?

I'm afraid that bullying the market and stealing are their true colors!
It was only at this time that Chen Sheng realized that he was probably thinking about making money too simply!

As far as he has seen along the way, the big heads of all walks of life have basically been controlled by these tigers!
The rest, there are only some small workshops with high technical content and difficult climate, such as coppersmiths, blacksmiths, and carpenters.

If you want to make a lot of money in Chen County, it is difficult not to touch the interests of these tigers.

Even if their interests are not affected, it is difficult to guarantee that after they do it, these sitting tigers will not be blinded by money and take advantage of them.

Although the size of the Chen family caravan is not small, a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves.

Chen Sheng has been ups and downs in the business world for more than ten years, and he knows that there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful settlement of disputes involving interests.

Under which big company is there not the corpses of several small and medium-sized enterprises?

Or how can there be a shopping mall like a battlefield?

It seems that making money is a long-term plan.

Just as Chen Sheng was thinking about it, the ox cart drove past a steaming cake stand, and a few of them dressed in bunts, bare-chested, with short blades around their waists, sitting without a seated statue saw Chen Hu who was driving, and got up laughing. Come over: "Yo, Uncle Tiger, are you practicing the handle?"

Chen Huyi sat on the hood of the car, only glanced at these idlers out of the corner of his eyes, and shouted softly: "I'm blind to your dog's eyes, and my boss doesn't even recognize it?"

A few idlers were drunk by him, and they all turned their heads with laughter and bowed to Chen Sheng on the ox cart: "It's our brothers who are a little bit shy, don't blame him."

They are like mirrors in their hearts.

There are countless "big men" in Chen County.

But the "dalang" who can let Chen Hu drive down the street can only be Chen Dalang from the Chen family.

Chen Sheng returned the salute with a palm, and said with a soft laugh, "It's because the younger brother has been out of the street less, so the older brothers can look at him. Another day, the younger brother will be the host, and the older brothers will be invited to gather together."

Seeing Chen Sheng's kindness, the laughter between the brows of the idlers became a lot more eager.

"How dare you let Dalang spend money, as long as Dalang is willing to come, our brothers will make Dalang full of food and drink even if they smash pots and sell iron!"

"Yes, yes, Dalang is willing to meet our brothers, that is to praise our brothers, how dare you let Dalang be the host!"

"Looking at Dalang's health, it just so happens that the little man received a tiger claw a month ago, and it is a good medicine to strengthen his body, and it will be delivered to Dalang's house tomorrow..."

Chen Sheng smiled and responded one by one, and after a long chat, Yiyi bid farewell and Chen Hu drove away.

When Chen Sheng was chatting with those idle fellows, Chen Hu didn't say a word from beginning to end, and after he got farther away, he said softly: "It's just some rubbish in the nest, Dalang will lift them up again. , it won't become a climate."

Chen Sheng smiled and said softly, "Our family is a businessman, and a businessman pays attention to being a gentleman and making money, and it's just a few polite words that don't make money. It's nothing to worry about. People, success is not enough and failure is more than failure, there is no need to let these people block us for the arrogance of not eating properly."

When Chen Hu heard this, he just smiled and said yes.

He mentioned Chen Sheng, but he was worried that Chen Sheng would not do anything better, and he was fluttering with those idlers, and he really took the Chen family's family background to spend the day with him.

Chen Shengneng is so awake, he is naturally too happy to be happy.

Chen Sheng pondered for a while, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Second uncle, do you give money to those idle people eating at those snack stalls?"

Chen Hu showed a funny expression: "Return the money? If they don't ask those hard-working people for money, they are considered benevolent and righteous!"

After a pause, he introduced Chen Sheng carefully: "These idlers eat this bowl of rice on the street. They don't have the guts to cheat the money of those big businessmen, so they can only scrape the oil on the chicken feet and rely on them. To eat and drink with those miserable people."

Chen Sheng thought about it and asked, "How many people like this are there?"

Chen Hu: "There are quite a few serious people, there are no less than five or six hundred people in Guangbei City..."

Chen Sheng interrupted: "No, I'm asking, how many food stalls are there in Chen County?"

Chen Hu pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's not much, but anyone with two cents in the family would not come to do this business. I still have to make offerings to these uncle dogs on the street. There are more than one wave. Often, one wave of people asks for money, and the next wave of people follows. A lot of money."

Chen Sheng's brain was running intensely, his hands crossed his fingers against his chin: "If our Chen family comes to do this business, can these 'contributions' be avoided?"

At this moment, what flickered in his mind were countless delicious food and snacks, as well as ideas such as "cultivating user groups", "creating a market", "integrating the market", "cultivating merchants", "platform monopoly" and so on.

A business with a master cannot be done.

Sophisticated business can't be done.

We also have to prevent that once the business gets bigger, other people who sit on the ground will be jealous and end up taking advantage of it...

But the Chen family had to support people, not just one or two.

But more than 300 households!

Under various restrictions, these inconspicuous small vendors naturally entered Chen Sheng's line of sight.

He felt that this was a good choice.

He has no shortage of recipes, even if it doesn't have the full color, flavor, and fragrance of the original, but even if he only makes a similar thing, he can still sell it for money in this era of scarcity of materials.

He has no shortage of manpower. There are plenty of manpower in more than 300 households. The hawker business is not a heavy manual work. Men, women, old and young, with missing arms and legs, can do it.

As long as the stalls are big enough, the revenue will not be much worse than those of big cloth houses and big restaurants.

The key is to be inconspicuous!

The revenue of a single small vendor is not worth mentioning to those rich and wealthy sitting tigers!
The overall revenue of the stalls and hawkers after forming a chain is quite attractive.

However, a large part of this income will fall into the hands of the guys who set up the stalls as labor at the gross profit stage, and the net profit that will actually fall on the book is not much... At best, it is a labor-intensive industry.

Therefore, even if there are those who really care, see the benefits clearly, and then find the Chen family.

Then he also has to weigh the trade-offs. For this benefit, is it worth it to fight with the Chen family, the local snake that has no shortage of killing Han?
"Hard to say."

Chen Hu pondered for a long time before shaking his head and said, "It depends on how far we can deal with this!"

Chen Sheng understood in seconds.

In the end, it's still a matter of interest.

Marx said in "Das Kapital": as long as there is 10% profit, it will be used everywhere; with 20%, it will be lively; with 50%, it will lead to positive risk-taking; with 100%, it will be It will make people disregard all laws; 300% will make people not afraid of crime, or even the danger of hanging!

Given the momentum of the Chen family in Chen County, if they only have one or two small stalls, these idlers who eat street food will certainly give the Chen family face.

But once the Chen family has built the street vendor business all over the county, and even all the vendors on the street belong to the Chen family, these idlers on the street are forced to make a living, so they can only take the risk and stretch their claws to the head of the Chen family. superior.

As the old saying goes: only a thousand days to be a thief, no thousand days to prevent a thief.

In order to solve the Chen family's predicament, let the Chen family fall into another predicament, which obviously does not meet Chen Sheng's original intention.

It seems that if the Chen family wants to do business on the street, these idlers cannot avoid it.

At least, according to the business blueprint outlined in Chen Sheng's mind, it is inevitable.

According to what Chen Hu just said, there are not a few idlers who eat street food, and it is obviously not a wise choice to go head-to-head.

I can't avoid it, and I can't hit it hard... Is it possible to think of a way to make these idlers work for me?
Chen Sheng frowned, his thoughts colliding violently.
