Sometimes reputation can be a blessing in both directions.
For example, this time, Mr. Shenze's books were sold well in their city before, so people from the newspaper office used them to promote them. Now that they are selling well outside, people from the newspaper office began to publicize them again.
Now people on both sides feel that Mr. Shenze's books are very popular everywhere, and naturally the sales are even better than before.
Ji Changze doesn't care much about the sales of his books now. The money now is enough for his family to live well for a hundred years without working. Of course, if the money can still be used after a hundred years.
Now his daily life is to write a book, then visit his younger brother, and finally go there to listen to Jifu's great cause of revival.
Yes, now that he has capital in hand, Ji's father plans to regroup.
He never hid anything from Ji Changze and told his eldest son everything. Ji's father's plan was really perfect. Even Ji Changze couldn't find any loopholes. Knowing that Ji's father was not a pig teammate but a god teammate, he felt relieved. He no longer paid attention to these books. Sometimes when Jifu was having meetings with his business partners, he would write and draw.
Ji's father didn't know that Ji Changze was not interested because he knew everything. He thought his eldest son was not interested in business. He had some regrets, but because of Ji Changze's talent in writing novels, these regrets were lessened.
Anyway, this time the eldest son did give him a big surprise.
When the Ji family fell, he thought a lot, but he never thought that the person who saved the Ji family in the end would be his eldest son.
Before, some people thought he was stupid for raising children for their eldest brother, but now, Nagasawa's performance can slap them in the face perfectly.
That is to say, they still don't know who Mr. Shenze is. If they knew, hehe, they would be surprised.
After experiencing this serious illness, Ji's father still maintained his composure on the surface, but he was a little more childlike in his heart than before. Of course, it may also be because some people in the family were seriously ill before and made him unhappy. He was very urgent. I want to see these people know that the Ji family has risen again.
What Ji's father did was not hidden from anyone. Soon, people in the city knew that he was preparing to reorganize the family business.
People who have a good relationship with Ji's father are happy, but those who have a bad relationship with him are unhappy.
The most unhappy person was naturally Mr. Ji who had set up a trap with others and brought down his own brother.
He had been very proud before, but before he could be happy, his reputation was damaged because of Ji Changze's actions. No matter how he explained that he thought Ji Changze wanted to come back and recognize his family, he would be considered to be deliberately quibbling.
Even if some people believed what he said, they began to think that he was too cold-blooded.
After all, they are his biological children and biological brothers. Now that they are in trouble, Mr. Ji is not even willing to reach out.
And the most disgusting thing is that even if he did such a thing himself, he actually cruelly blamed his own son for everything, letting this young man who was only 18 years old bear the infamy for him.
Cruel!
Mr. Ji wanted to rescue him, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to deliver the money. However, after learning that Ji Changze not only refused sternly but also beat him up, he decided not to rescue him.
Anyway, his reputation is already like this, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be.
In that situation, Mr. Ji could still save them. If he said that giving money would make them targeted, he would just send someone to watch, but he didn't want to do that.
Obviously he was sending money to relieve this good brother's worries, but now it seemed like he was begging them. He couldn't bear the grievance.
Okay, isn’t that noble? Doesn’t it cost money
Then don't be good, he won't give money, he will let them feel the pain of not having enough to eat, being sick and not having money to see a doctor. Then they will recall that he was the kind-hearted Ji Da It must be a sour feeling when the master brings money but they push it away with their own hands.
Mr. Ji waited and waited and waited with such a mood.
As a result, after waiting for such a long time, instead of waiting for poverty there, I waited for the news of my younger brother's comeback.
Just kidding.
A comeback?
Where did he get the capital
If there is no money, who is willing to cooperate with him.
Aren't all his students in other places? Liu Qingru, the only one who stayed in the local area, still had little money. Where did the Ji family get the money?
Mr. Ji was angry and annoyed. He sent people out to investigate but couldn't find anything. He only knew that Ji's father had indeed used money to impress the boss he had worked with in the past, and he had started working in full swing recently.
Mr. Ji was angry but could not do anything. That opportunity did not come every day. Now the two brothers of the Ji family were at odds. Mr. Ji even slandered his own son. This incident caused uproar in the city. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at him. If he takes action at this time, there is a high probability that he will overturn.
But after being annoyed for a while, he was no longer in a hurry.
Father Ji has been silent for such a long time, and his business is for the public. Even if the business starts, who will buy it
In the past, when he was doing business, he only had accumulated old customers. Now that he has been out of business for such a long time, who still knows about him.
Thinking of this, Mr. Ji began to calm down again, smoking a dry cigarette and humming a song, and arranged for his subordinates to pay attention. When Ji's father opened the door, he must tell him what the situation was at that time and how sluggish the business was.
After waiting for a while, the subordinate came.
Mr. Ji was smoking a dry cigarette; "As soon as you come in, you will say it, and you will not speak. You still want me to give you a seat, right?"
"No, no, no, I don't dare, I don't dare."
The subordinate hurriedly apologized, carefully raised his eyes at Master Ji, and then cautiously said: "Second Master's place has indeed opened for business, just this morning. The younger one went there early in the morning."
Mr. Ji urged; "Is there no one there? Are their faces green?"
The subordinate was trembling: "When I went there, many people were there, looking at it... it was very lively."
At the end of the sentence, he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Mr. Ji froze.
"How is it possible?? He hasn't shown up for so long, how can those people still remember him??"
"Not only the people in the past, but now half of the city knows that Er Laoye has opened. They queue up to buy things. The little ones almost didn't squeeze in..."
Mr. Ji looked at the boy kneeling below several times, and after confirming that he was telling the truth, it was his turn to turn green.
"What did he do?? What did they do?!!!"
The boy carefully took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it over carefully.
Mr. Ji grabbed it and found that it was Rou'an Daily.
"What are you doing? Why did you give me this thing? I'm fucking asking you to tell me what they did and why so many people came to support it!!"
In fact, Ji Changze didn't do anything.
He just used Shenze's vest to write another novel called "The Merchant".
It mainly tells the story of businessmen.
Everyone knows that businessmen pursue profit, but businessmen are also human beings. Since there are good people and bad people, there will naturally be good businessmen and bad businessmen.
Ji Changze mainly wrote about good businessmen. For example, a businessman worked hard in business. When the war came, he exchanged all the money for food and sent it to the front line.
Another example is that when the enemy entered the city, a certain businessman used his tunnel to hide hundreds of people. The enemy pointed a gun at his head and asked him where he hid the people, but he refused. He said that he didn't even say a word until he was sacrificed.
During this period, the enemy was not without temptations with gold and silver. If the money had been in normal times, he would have agreed to whatever he asked for. But now, he gritted his teeth and said even before he died, I am Chinese.
When Ji Changze was creating his image, he made this businessman very stingy, calculating, and loving money. Although his family has a big business, he still cares about petty benefits with the people. Although his family is rich, he still screams when others joke about it. When the dog barked, he barked without hesitation.
It was such a businessman who was looked down upon by his peers, despised and talked about by the people, and everyone knew that he loved money as much as his life. However, at the end of his life, he refused gold and silver, resisted torture, and protected more than a hundred people.
Isn't he stingy? He is, doesn’t he love money? So does he.
But he has not forgotten that he is a Chinese first.
No matter how much he loves money and no matter how much he wants money, he will never give a penny to these beasts who invaded China's land, killed old people and children and violated women.
Ji Changze has always been good at sensationalism. With just a few words, he can make people who read newspapers blush.
In addition, he wrote some things about the business world, hidden rules, and some tips for doing business. These are all solid information. This time is not like the era of future generations where information is flying all over the sky. If people want to do business, Either you can summarize it step by step yourself, or you can find a master or someone from your family to teach you.
But it's not like Ji Changze, who wrote it down directly and carelessly, and it was all very correct.
It was the first time for the common people to see this kind of fresh subject matter, coupled with the various patriotic sentiments written in it, they naturally couldn't put it down, and those who wanted to do business read the knowledge inside, and took notes while reading. When I saw the end, I just wanted to rush to the newspaper office and ask who Mr. Shenze was and why he knew so much about business.
Businessmen also like to watch.
After all, the reputation of businessmen has never been very good. Everyone thinks that they are only profit-seeking and will do anything for money. Moreover, they are not moral at all. It is common for them to directly cheat and stab each other. There are also some shady goods and the like. of.
Although these things have happened, and many of them have happened, they cannot overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke. They are all innocent.
Of course, they think they are innocent. As for whether they are truly innocent, only they know.
These businessmen were surprised and proud after seeing this story, as if they were the businessmen who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country and to protect the people. Of course, they were not as stingy as this businessman.
In short, they had a good sense of belonging.
That’s right!
That's who we are!
There is no businessman who doesn’t love money, but loving money doesn’t mean we have no conscience.
At critical moments, we are still very reliable. Those with bad consciences are just rat shit, and we are all soup.
Therefore, this group of businessmen who felt that the newspaper was very truthful about their true story bought a bunch of newspapers and distributed them to their relatives and friends, so that they could get to know the heroic businessmen (themselves) in it.
Newspaper sales have once again broken through.
Everyone in the newspaper office was very happy. The big boss said he would give them more money.
As expected, this Mr. Shenze is a treasure. Ever since Mr. Shenze came, their newspaper office's luck has changed.
The reason why the Ji family's business is so smooth is Ji Changze.
He placed an advertisement in the novel he wrote called Merchant.
A businessman here was cheated because he was too kind. He had too little money, and he had to replenish goods to sell. A passerby there kindly told him: Go to Ji's shop to buy, then The items sold are cheap and good, and because they have just opened, they can give you whatever you buy, which is a great deal. If you buy more, the wholesale price will be calculated.
The address of Ji's family was specially written at the bottom of the newspaper. If this news was indeed as true as what was written in the novel, Ji Changze would have planned to take a photo and put it up if not for the lack of space.
Mr. Shenze has many die-hard fans, and the novel this time did not disappoint. The current sales model of getting as much as you buy and getting wholesale prices is very refreshing, and it naturally attracts people. Large crowds.
People all have a herd mentality. When they find that there are so many people queuing up at the newly opened store here, most people will come up curiously and ask what is going on. When they find out that this store sells goods so cheaply After that, they will naturally join the queue.
So this led to more and more people queuing up, and finally it became extremely popular.
Ji Changze didn't tell Ji's father when he did this. Ji's father didn't know. When he opened the business, he had a good attitude and thought that it was normal for it to be difficult to start over. Fortunately, Nagaze was still here, even if it was Don’t worry if you don’t make money at the beginning, etc.
As a result, as soon as the door opened, the guests who squeezed in almost broke the door.
It took him a long time to ask among the noisy crowd before he found out where these people had seen the news. After a busy but very happy day, Ji's father was finally able to free his mind to think about this matter.
Nagasawa could actually come up with such an idea.
This child is indeed smart and filial.
If he hadn't been filial, would he have come up with such an idea to help his family's business
On the way back, Ji's father went to the newspaper office and asked for a newspaper. Why did he ask for it instead of buying it? Because the newspaper was sold out again. Even though the newspaper office had recently been very experienced and printed a lot more papers than usual, there was still nothing. He couldn't resist Shen Ze's enthusiasm.
Fortunately, Liu Qingru was still at the newspaper office and hadn't gotten off work. Seeing that the teacher wanted to buy a newspaper but couldn't, he decisively gave his copy to him.
Ji's father walked towards home and read the newspaper. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
Most people see the story, but he sees the business model and various business methods inside.
Even he couldn't write these things, but Nagasawa could.
Is his son really a genius
Ji's father returned home happily. When asked about this matter, Ji Changze acted very innocent and confused: "Isn't this what you told your uncles, dad?"
Father Ji: "? Is there any?"
"Yes, Dad, have you forgotten? Every time you talk to your uncles, I sit next to you and write down your words. This novel is based on your words. Look at this sentence, this Those are your exact words.”
It had been so many days, and Ji's father could still remember it clearly, but when Ji Changze pointed him out like that, he felt that the words looked familiar, as if he had really said them.
When Ji Changze saw him nodding in recognition, he found another sentence: "Look, dad, these are your exact words. I wrote them down when you said them. I also asked you if you could write them into my novel, and you said yes. of."
This time Ji's father recognized him quickly.
The memory also came back a little bit. Yes, Nagasawa seemed to have asked him. He felt that he needed material for writing a novel and casually agreed.
Is this really what he said? Is he that powerful
Ji's father held the newspaper and read it for a long time. He always felt that these words seemed very familiar, but most of them could not remember where he said them or how they said them.
Ji Changze said that this is normal: "In order to integrate into the plot, I modified some words without changing the meaning of your original words. It's normal that you can't recognize them."
"Dad, think about it, if I hadn't heard you say these words, would I have been able to write these things by myself?"
Father Ji looked at his innocent-eyed son standing in front of him.
It seems not possible.
My son has never been so good since he was a child.
He lowered his head and looked at the words on the newspaper again. This time they looked very familiar (it would be strange to be unfamiliar after reading them so many times), so he was sure in his heart that these words were all spoken by himself, but Nagasawa Some artistic processing was done in order to write a novel, so it just looked familiar to him.
After thinking about it clearly, Ji's father suddenly realized.
My son is not a genius, I am a genius! !
After successfully fooling Ji's father, Ji Changze returned to the room, took the newspaper and read it carefully, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Mr. Ji must have known about this at this time, but he just didn't know what measures he would take.
It would be fun if the method Ji Changze expected was used. He still wanted to see Mr. Ji trying to trick others but digging a hole for himself.
Master Ji is indeed planning to take action.
After much thought, he felt that this must be the fault of his younger brother's student, Liu Qingru.
Liu Qingru is the editor-in-chief. Isn’t it easy to add an advertisement to it? He was also Ji's father's student, so he had even more motive to commit the crime.
A little editor wants to save the person he wants to kill
Master Ji sneered and put pressure on the newspaper to fire Liu Qingru.
The big boss didn't think much about it, but it wasn't his style to offend an official because of Liu Qingru, so he could only give Liu Qingru a sum of money to let him go.
As a result, the next day, his golden-legged son, Mr. Shenze, said that since Liu Qingru left, he would leave too.
This time it was the big boss who was confused.
What's going on? Isn’t it just a matter of hiring an editor-in-chief? You have to leave even if you have golden legs. You can go wherever you want. Stay and continue to shine and make money for me! ! !
Mr. Shenze only said that he would be wherever Liu Qingru is.
Now it's good, the big boss directly hates Mr. Ji.
