Chapter 398: Making money is that simple
When I came to the office, I saw Zhou Feng and Cao Da sitting on the sofa looking at the free pastries and wine on the table in a daze.
Guo Dan didn't bother to do those red tape with them, and said with a smile: "The two of you seem to be late." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the couch and sat down.
Cao Da hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not that I'm too late, it's just that when we came yesterday, you happened to be absent." ”
"Really?"
"What is the point of this question?" Zhou Feng waved his hand at Cao Da, told him to shut up, and asked Guo Dan again: "Virtuous nephew, what is going on?" I heard yesterday that the contract contract is not so simple, and today I heard that in the future, private colleges can only be established in Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing. ”
Cao Da said: "Virtuous nephew, is it possible that you are contracted to go there, are you planning to teach?" ”
"That's right!"
Guo Dan nodded.
“.....!”
Zhou Feng sighed: "This thing is not funny, it won't be long before those shareholders will come to the door." ”
"I'm not kidding."
Guo Dan said seriously: "I plan to do so, if it is contracted, the dental bank will not participate, and the dental bank will not be able to come up with so much money, but if the college is the case, I will let the dental bank build it." ”
"Build an academy?"
Cao Da was so frightened that he stood up directly and looked at Guo Dan with a shocked expression.
"Sit sit, sit sit."
Guo Dan pressed his hand and said: "Outside Cao Yuan, you don't look at your identity, how can you be like Xiao An." ”
Cao Da sat down calmly and said: "I said virtuous nephew, we are businessmen, and the establishment of the academy is a matter of literati, what is it like for us to participate in it." ”
Guo Dan said: "Are you short of money now?" ”
Zhou Feng interjected: "This has nothing to do with lack of money, this is not what we should do." ”
"That's what we're supposed to do."
Guo Dan said: "What we businessmen do is based on demand, but we can't just look at the needs of others, not our own needs, are we short of money now?" There is no shortage. What we lack is fame. Are those literati really teaching and educating people when they run academies? Isn't it grandstanding and fame, and if they want it, we can't do it? ”
Cao Da and Zhou Feng glanced at each other.
Zhou Feng said: "Virtuous nephew, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, I heard that there are many restrictions on the contract, which is completely different from contracting Weihui Mansion." ”
"Don't be tempted here, just say something you want."
Guo Dan laughed: "You just want to ask, I suddenly want to build an academy, is it because those contracts have many restrictions, basically I can't do anything, and then pull my teeth to pad my back, what kind of academy." ”
Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephew, I definitely didn't mean that, you really misunderstood me." ”
"Don't be embarrassed."
Guo smiled lightly: "This is actually the truth, if they didn't restrict me so much, I wouldn't have thought of building an academy." ”
Cao Da leaned forward and said, "In other words, we can't do anything except the academy?" ”
Guo Dan nodded and said, "You can go to Kaifeng Mansion Market to open a small restaurant, are you interested?" ”
How could they possibly be interested.
Not to mention Kaifeng Mansion, Zhou Feng has no time for the branch in Nanjing now, and he is staring at the restaurant of Weihui Mansion, if this is not happening, he will probably go to Weihui Mansion again.
Zhou Feng slumped in his chair and said, "This time it's really over." ”
Guo Dan said: "Outside the staff is terminally ill? ”
"Phew! Phew! ”
Zhou Feng glared at Guo Dan, and said: "With millions of taels of tax income, you can't even do business, virtuous nephew, what will you pay to the court then?" ”
"Academy!"
Guo Dan said: "I'm saying that if they hadn't put forward so many restrictions, I wouldn't have thought of opening an academy, not that I had to say that I had to do it." ”
"Isn't that all the same?"
Cao Da said depressedly.
"That's pretty much it?"
Guo Dan rolled his eyes and thought, it's terrible to be uneducated.
Zhou Feng said: "Even if it's a lot worse, this academy can't make money!" If you want to talk about this college, I have seen a lot, even if it is to make money, it is only a little money a year, and it is almost the same as going to my Jinyu Building for a meal. ”
"Don't believe you." Guo Dan snorted: "I'll prove it to you right now, how much money this academy makes." ”
"Can you prove it now?"
Zhou Feng and Cao Da hurriedly opened their eyes wide and looked at Guo Dan without blinking.
Guo Dan poured himself a glass of wine unhurriedly, leaned back, opened his mouth, suddenly looked at Zhou Feng, and said, "That's right!" Outside, I heard that you sent your eldest son to a branch in Nanjing. ”
Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment, and nodded in a wooden manner.
"How old is your eldest son?"
"Five out of twenty."
"It's not small!"
Guo sighed: "If I were younger, I would still plan to let your son go to the academy to study." ”
Zhou Feng snorted: "If he wants to be able to read books, I won't let him do business." ”
Of course, the businessman hopes that his son can enter the court as an official, how can that sentence come about, there are people here who are easy to do!
"Really?"
"What did I lie to you?"
"That's a shame." Guo sighed.
Zhou Feng was surprised: "What a pity? ”
Cao Da was left aside, depressed to death, how to talk about family life, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Guo Dan sigh: "I still plan to take him as an apprentice." ”
His ears immediately pricked up, and there was one word in his head, and those who saw it had a share.
Zhou Feng said excitedly: "Virtuous nephew, you... Are you serious? ”
"Really."
Guo Dan nodded and said, "I plan to compile my self-created algorithm into a textbook and put it in the students of Kaifeng Mansion as a course." ”
Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "If this is the case, I will definitely let my son study, and my three sons will go." ”
Cao Da said: "I have a share in the seeing, and I also have two sons. ”
Guo Dan is in the business world, there is really no one who is dissatisfied, it is not an exaggeration to call it a business saint, it is this man who has contracted a state capital, they really want to accept apprentices, this must go.
Guo smiled lightly: "But it's very expensive, you can get fifty taels of silver a year." ”
"It's only fifty taels, it's really worth it, as long as you are willing to teach your nephew." Zhou Feng waved his hand disapprovingly.
Guo smiled lightly: "Really? ”
Cao Da hurriedly said: "As long as you nod your nephew, I will let people take the money now." ”
Zhou Feng also nodded straight.
Guo Dan suddenly spread his hands.
Zhou Feng and Cao Da couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Nephew, are you teasing us?" Zhou Feng asked.
"How is that possible?"
Guo smiled lightly: "You see, my academy has not even opened, and I have already earned two hundred and fifty taels." ”
“......!”
Zhou Feng was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed: "It turns out that you opened this academy to teach people how to make money?" ”
"Don't be so vulgar."
Guo Dan said: "I am teaching people how to manage money, such as you and I and other rich people need to manage money, no one wants their son to lose the family business he has worked so hard to put down, how many rich people are there in the world?" On average, a rich man counts two, which is a hundred taels. A hundred is 10,000 taels, and a thousand is 100,000 taels, and I plan to build a graduate school and enroll about 10,000 students. ”
"Ten thousand... Ten thousand, that can't be a million taels. Zhou Feng said in a trembling voice.
"Correct!"
Guo Dan smiled and groaned: "Does this academy make money?" ”
"Earn... Strive.... ”
Zhou Fengmu nodded straightly.
They really don't doubt that if Guo Dan wants to pass on his skills, there must be a lot of people, and they all want to learn it.
Guo Dan coughed lightly and suddenly asked, "Do you have a daughter?" ”
"Of course there is, how can they all be sons."
"There is a saying, this woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and our businessman's ability, in the eyes of the sage, is the ninth rate of things, even from the perspective of pure technology, this woman is delicate, shrewd in accounting, this is really suitable for women to learn, I plan to get a women's college, I don't know if the two are interested!"
Zhou Feng and Cao Da were still immersed in the profit of one million taels, and nodded blankly.
"By the way, you have a few daughters."
"Two."
"One."
"Five plus three equals eight, and eight times fifty equals four hundred, and you see, you make four hundred taels in one stroke."
Is that so?
Zhou Feng and Cao Da, the two old foxes, felt a little dizzy at this moment.
They always feel that something is wrong.
Zhou Feng said: "Virtuous nephew, this money ......!" ”
Guo Dan immediately said: "Although this money is not much, it is of great significance, because it is earned from two shrewd, strong, resourceful, and well-informed businessmen, and even this kind of wise and foolish elite is willing to send their children to our academy, not to mention others." The two of you said yes, yes? ”
"That's right."
Zhou Feng felt justified and couldn't help but nodded.
The Academy's first deal was done.
......
After Zhou Feng and Cao Da left, Guo Dan immediately called Kou Yi in, "Butler, you immediately release some news, just say that our Yaxing is going to show its skills in the education industry, and we want to build a college, and we will take out 10,000 taels to invest in the construction of the college in the next year, and it won't be long before our college will become the first private college in Daming." ”
Kou Yi was stunned, and kindly reminded: "Uncle, even if you really decide to build this academy, you have to keep a low profile, if you say so, it will cause trouble." ”
"What do you know, I'm throwing jade bricks."
Guo Dan frowned slightly, and said: "With the strength of our family, it is still difficult to support the three mansions, I have to provoke all the gentry in the world, let them all invest, and then kill them all in the field they are best at, there is nothing more painful in this world." Go, go, don't let people grab the handle. ”
"What's the handle?" Kou Yi was stunned.
Guo Dan said angrily: "Why do you live more and more and go back, of course, you can't let people have evidence to prove it, this is what we said, as long as there is no evidence, they can't bite me." ”
“..... Be. ”
As soon as Kou Yi left with his front foot, Aunt Xu came to the office with his back foot.
Guo smiled lightly: "Wow! Layman, come so early. ”
It was already afternoon.
Aunt Xu couldn't hear his sarcasm, and said with a smile on her face: "I just heard that you are going to build an academy, and I thought it was gossip, so I inquired about it by the way, so it was too late." ”
You're really good. Guo Dan said: "That must be a rumor, I haven't released this news yet." ”
Aunt Xu sighed: "In other words, you really plan to build an academy?" ”
Guo Dan nodded, put away his smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, I was planning to discuss this matter with the layman." ”
Aunt Xu sat down.
Guo Dan sighed and said: "After this battle, I am a painful learner, because this makes me finally see my only shortcoming." ”
Aunt Xu was curious: "What are the shortcomings?" ”
"It's just too low-key." Guo sighed.
Aunt Xu was speechless.
"I'm serious."
Guo Dan said: "For this reason, I have sent someone to investigate, why so many people hate me, and there is not even a person to speak for me, it is because I am too low-key." I have seriously analyzed why so many literati support them, because they are public, can blow on their lips, wander around all day long, mix their faces well, argue with others at every turn, cause topics, or create scandals, this fame is great, and there are more ...... supporters. ”
Aunt Xu suddenly interrupted him, "Are you referring to Sang scolding Huai?" ”
Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Who is Sang?" Who is Huai? ”
Aunt Xu said, "You go on." ”
"I know how to make money all the time, and this will attract people."
Guo Dan said: "So I plan to invest 10,000 taels to build an academy to attract people from all over the world to come here, and then brag or argue with them every day, no matter what they say, I will oppose it, create a topic, and make myself famous, so that they will not all target me." What do laymen think about this? ”
Aunt Xu nodded and analyzed seriously: "In fact, it is not uncommon for many wealthy businessmen to spend money to make a good name, but no one has ever been willing to spend so much money. ”
Guo Dan narrowed his eyes: "That's just because they're poor." ”
"It makes sense."
