20 It's hard to do business
At the beginning, Li Tianyang planned to recruit a shopkeeper who knew how to operate in the refugee pile in the county seat or Tanmen Village to help take care of the business in the county, but what he didn't expect was that it was too difficult for an outsider to gain a foothold in the small county. Businesses like gambling houses, money villages, inns, and restaurants, which are simple to operate and easy to make money, have long been carved up by figures such as county magistrates, county officials, etc., even if a business like Li Tianyang and them has invested a lot, it is extremely difficult to survive in this county.
For this, in the early days, Li Tianyang changed several shopkeepers in a row, but it only made the business of Qixintang barely survive, and it was difficult to make a difference, let alone make money. And this is still based on the fact that Li Tianyang has many unique products, because there is no relationship and backing, Li Tianyang can only endure the exploitation of groups of officials.
And when Li Tianyang's high-end luxury toothbrush opened the market and obtained high profits, it made those shameless people blush, so they almost found an excuse to snatch it directly from Li Tianyang. Fortunately, Li Tianyang is not a naïve person, and he has seen the shamelessness and greed of these bureaucrats in his previous life, how could he not plan early.
In the case of fledgling and insufficient strength, Li Tianyang knew that it was simply a delusion to keep a way to fortune among a group of hungry wolves. So he simply fired the county shopkeeper directly, and just bought a façade and a huge warehouse in the county seat. Then, holding this eye-catching bone in his hand, he made a gesture of pleading, gathered the adults such as the county order, the county officer, and the chief bookkeeper, and directly handed over these goods to them, and asked them to sell them as agents. And Li Tianyang and them are concentrating on the role of producers and earning their share of Weibo profits.
Otherwise, according to the scale of the toothbrushes produced by Li Tianyang, it is impossible to have only a little profit. Although Li Tianyang and them can also have a profit of 4-5 taels of silver every month, which is a huge scale compared to many businesses in the Lehui, compared to Liang Shusheng and his group, it is really just a drop in the bucket.
However, in this way, there are actually a lot of benefits for Li Tianyang and them, at least since then, Li Tianyang and them have been linked to the county order and their adults, and Li Tianyang's business name can be said to be smooth sailing in the county from now on, and no one dares to make things difficult anymore. And faintly, Li Tianyang even felt that even many of the upper-level leaders of Lehui County were pulled into their team by Liang Shusheng and his gang, forming an interest group.
Therefore, although Li Tianyang and their Qixintang lost more than half of the immediate benefits, it also made their business name mix well in this place of Qiongzhou, as long as they played the banner of their business name, even if they left Lehui County, they could ensure unimpeded passage and no one made things difficult, which could be regarded as a blessing for Sai Weng. What is even more unexpected is that Li De and his gang, who Liang Shusheng thought were the real ones behind the scenes, became Liang Shusheng's partners and opened the door to convenience, which is one of the important reasons why Li De's gang is getting bigger and bigger.
"Uncle Guan, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time! Li Tianyang finally found Guan Juxiong in the papermaking workshop at the back of the camp. When he found him, Guan Juxiong was helping to put lime into the pool with a disgraced face, if it weren't for Li Tianyang being too familiar with Guan Juxiong, he really wouldn't have recognized this person covered in white ash.
"Ahem, ahem! Sir, do you have anything to do with me? Guan Juxiong put down the guy in his hand, casually slapped the lime on his body and came over.
"I want to tell you that you will go to the county seat with me early tomorrow morning and transport this batch of stored goods into the city." Li Tianyang looked directly at Guan Juxiong and said the purpose of looking for him.
"Uh...... All right! Then I'll go back and clean up tonight. Guan Juxiong hesitated for a long time, and under Li Tianyang's gaze, he agreed uncomfortably.
Lehui County has always been a pimple in the hearts of Guan Juxiong and Song Dabao, although ten years have passed, the two of them are still reluctant to approach this sad place. Song Dabao is better, in recent years, due to Li Tianyang's arrangement, he will always escort a shipload of goods between Lehui City and Tanmen from time to time; However, Guan Juxiong has not set foot in Lehui City again. For Li Tianyang, who now has two lucky boats in his hands as a tool for fishing and transporting goods, a round trip between Lehui City is now only a day's work at most, and this is not counting the unloading and delay time.
Li Tianyang has never forced Guan Juxiong to let go of this heart disease, he just silently observed on the side, hoping that this henchman who was becoming more and more optimistic about him could be relieved as soon as possible. Moreover, for Guan Juxiong's long-term affection and his inability to let go of his brother's righteousness for more than ten years, Li Tianyang actually appreciates it very much in his heart. That person doesn't want his right-hand man to be a man who values love and righteousness, although such a person may bring other problems because of this, but as a confidant, then it is reassuring to use.
is also because of Guan Juxiong's character, now in Li Tianyang's heart, he has long compared Wu Daofu, the first person to surrender to Li Tianyang.
"Remember, dress decently, if you don't have any preparations at home, then follow me to the account room to open a note, and find Sister Tao'er and their ready-to-wear shop to get a new dress out." Li Tianyang was also afraid that Guan Juxiong would be careless about this matter, so he specially instructed.
"Okay, I happened to have a new satin dress at home, and I haven't worn it a few times." Although he didn't know what medicine Li Tianyang was selling in his stomach, Guan Juxiong was a little puzzled, but he honestly agreed.
In these years, escorting goods has long been not a rare thing, and there is no need for Li Tianyang to deliberately escort them like this, a few young and strong men plus a handover number of accounts can actually handle these things. However, seeing that Li Tianyang specially instructed himself to go with him to escort this time, I am afraid that the drunkard's intention is not in the bar, this is Guan Juxiong's intention to secretly think about Li Tianyang's arrangement in his heart.
And this is what Li Tianyang has always intended to cultivate Guan Juxiong, and it is also one of the qualities that he values Guan Juxiong the most. You must know that there are really a lot of people who know how to use their brains, and they are loyal to Li Tianyang, and there are so many people who can make Li Tianyang trust, but just these two things combined, Li Tianyang is really the only one around Guan Juxiong who can take out his hand. Although Wu Jie and Gan Dabiao are a group of teenagers, to be honest, as they grow older, they have now begun to learn to manage their own forces. Although they have been getting along day and night for more than ten years, Li Tianyang is not worried that they will really do anything harmful to themselves, but if they really want to use it, they are really not as handy as people like Guan Juxiong.
