As a result, Liu Pei waited until the curfew was approaching, and the shopkeepers came to Hongfu Building one after another. The last time these shopkeepers met, they were all dressed appropriately, with clean shoes and hats. But today these people are all very embarrassed. His hair was disheveled, his face was covered with oily sweat, and his clothes were disheveled. But the spirit of each shopkeeper is very good. When everyone saw Liu Pei who came to greet them, they would let out a burst of warm laughter, and then praised Liu Pei desperately. Boast of him that there are few things in heaven that are not on earth! It can be seen that these stores are making a lot of money today.

By the time Liu Pei received Hua Shufeng and the last few people to enter the private room, the private room was already boiling! All the shopkeepers are excitedly discussing today's harvest and looking forward to the future prospects. Waiting for Liu Pei, Hua Shufeng entered the private room, and everyone stood up and bowed to the two, thanking the two for creating an opportunity for everyone to make a fortune!

Liu Pei beckoned everyone and said, "Don't say anything else first. I think you haven't eaten much in a day, so let's have some food first! ”

At this time, everyone felt thunderous in their stomachs, and they all laughed and sat down to eat a good meal. After a full meal, everyone regained some reserve. praised Liu Pei for the good things he did for everyone! Boast about today's harvest!

Liu Pei took advantage of everyone's excitement and said: "It seems that all the shopkeepers have gained a lot today, right?" ”

The shopkeepers looked at each other and laughed. Someone said, "That's not the light of the two of you!" But you're not trying to raise the rent, are you? That's not going to happen! Haha"

Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement. Liu Pei immediately said loudly: "Everyone just rest assured, the rent will not rise in a short period of time!" Don't you all want to make more money? ”

There was an uproar in the box again. Someone said: "Could it be that the little brother still has a good way?" ”

"Brother Liu, don't hide it! If there is anything to say, it will not be good for you! ”

Liu Pei waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said, "Everyone has seen their harvest today. That shows that the way of doing business in department stores is feasible. But how many cities in our Ming Dynasty are similar to Jinan City? What if we opened a good and big department store in every city? ”

Everyone was stunned by Liu Pei's words! There was silence in the private room! Liu Pei struck while the iron was hot and said: "I don't think it's as good as this, everyone here is the shopkeeper in Jinan City, so it's better for us to set up a joint chamber of commerce together." Let's go out together and promote our department store to the whole Daming! ”

It's really messed up in the house now! The noise filled the entire Hongfu Building! There was a heated discussion about the possibility of this model being promoted. Soon a person said, "Brother Liu, just do as you say!" We have money, everyone earns! The crowd applauded!

At this time, one of the people stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called snake without a head is not good! The operation of this big department store is Lao Hua, but the idea was proposed by Brother Liu, and Brother Liu Pei still has hundreds of family members under him, so he can hire them as the guards of the Chamber of Commerce at his own expense. So I recommended Lao Hua and Hua Shufeng as the president of our United Chamber of Commerce to lead us. Liu Pei served as vice president. In addition, we should also elect another vice president. What do you think? ”

This person is actually an old friend of Hua Shufeng, who was specially invited by Liu Pei to be a childcare. But his proposal was well received. At that moment, everyone began to discuss the feasibility of the joint chamber of commerce.

I saw the shopkeepers of Qiantu, and I didn't leave the door of Hongfu Building all night! At dawn, an old shopkeeper was elected as the vice president. At the same time, the rules of the Chamber of Commerce have also been set. In this way, the largest source of income for Liu Pei's subordinates, the United Chamber of Commerce was established! In the future, it brought Liu Pei a steady stream of funds and various news. And everyone decided that night to open a second department store in Dongcheng, Jinan. At the same time, the shop also decided the location of the next shop, which is Xuzhou.

When the day dawned, the shopkeepers slowly dispersed. There are only two people left in the private room, Hua Shufeng and Liu Pei. Hua Shufeng's eyes were already bloodshot, but his spirit was very strong! He patted Liu Pei's arm and said, "Brother Xian! You're really talented! All of this is what you expected! ”

Liu Pei smiled slightly and said, "If it weren't for my brother's participation, the department store wouldn't have opened so easily." After all, my brother's connections in Jinan City are very deep. I can't gather these big treasurers on my own! ”

Hua Shufeng said with a smile: "I don't need to mention it again!" Let's just talk about you, brother Xian, from the time you went ashore empty-handed to now, you have accumulated a huge net worth! I can't compare to my brother at this point. ”

Liu Pei said: "My brother is different from me. I still have thousands of people behind me to support me. My brother worked hard alone, that's different! ”

After the two discussed the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce for a while, Liu Pei said: "Brother, I don't know much about management, so I will leave the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to you in the future." I can only provide armed support to the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, I have some things I want to ask my big brother. ”

Hua Shufeng said: "Brother Xian, just say it, Brother Fool must arrange it!" ”

Liu Pei said: "Some of my elders and I are very fond of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and stones. In this regard, please ask my eldest brother to help me collect more. Money is not an issue, as long as it is boutique. ”

Hua Shufeng thought about it and said, "It's simple. The person who is building momentum for you and me today is in the calligraphy and painting business. Although it is not as good as Mingxinzhai, the business is not small. ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Then please big brother." Also, I'm going to focus on my family training in the future, because that's where I'm rooted. Without force, you and my family property would be in turmoil. Maybe an official takes a fancy to it and will take it away. ”

Hua Shufeng sighed again and again and said, "That's true! But does the threat of force really work? There are a lot of soldiers and horses in various places! And what would you do if they snapped a rebel hat? ”

Liu Pei sneered and said, "Brother." Can't you see clearly? Those thugs of the salt barons can run around with the officers and soldiers, and they have been defeated by me one after another. Let my hundreds of family members go out, don't want to fight in front of me without more than ten times the troops! Besides, we don't cause trouble. Just to deter those officials from pushing us too hard! If I force it hard, I will really raise the flag and rebel! When the time comes, they will be the ones who will die first! Then they will be a little more scruples. ”
