The middle-aged man smiled when he heard Li Qingzhi's words.
Everyone likes to hear good words.
Li Qingzhi asked again: "I wonder what your name is, Master?"
Li Qingzhi likes everything in this world.
His appearance now doesn't look that good, he has become very thin, but the sincere love in his eyes cannot be faked.
"My last name is Zhu, and my name is Zhu Qian." The middle-aged man smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Just as Li Qingzhi expected, Zhu Qian was a nouveau riche.
His family was poor and he didn't have enough food to eat when he was young. His father had no choice but to send him to a wealthy family to work as a helper.
It was in that wealthy family that he experienced a life that he had never even imagined before.
He vowed to live a good life!
Other servants just did their job day by day and lived their lives in a muddle, but he was different. He was extremely diligent and tried hard to learn all the knowledge he could.
He signed a five-year contract with that family. Five years later, he left that family. At the age of eighteen, he used all his savings plus borrowed money to buy some goods, rented a boat, and left Chongcheng County to do business.
Doing business is not an easy thing. If you are unlucky, you may encounter bandits. But he was lucky and he succeeded.
He traveled back and forth for business, first renting a boat, then buying his own boat, and eventually expanding his business.
Nowadays, although he is not the richest man in Chongcheng County, he is already one of the richest people in the county, and he also monopolizes a trade route.
"Master Zhu, I am a scholar with average knowledge, but I am very good at accounting. Master Zhu, do you want to recruit an accountant?" Li Qingzhi asked with a smile.
Zhu Qian looked at Li Qingzhi with some surprise.
He is already in his forties and has been doing business for more than twenty years. He has met countless people, including many scholars.
Most of those educated people looked down on him. Even if someone wanted to get money from him because of poverty, they would always speak and behave in a haughty manner when facing him.
But he didn't really care.
He knew that scholars had a high status, and he had long accepted it. Because of this, he urged his son to study hard every day.
Although the young man in front of him looked embarrassed, judging from his temperament, he should be a scholar.
It's just... Not only was this scholar very enthusiastic towards him, he even took the initiative to ask if he wanted to be an accountant
Zhu Qian likes people who will take the initiative to fight for what they want, and he himself is such a person.
But he still said: "Sorry, I don't need an accountant now."
He really didn't need an accountant, and hiring a person of unknown origin to run his business... It was impossible for him to do such a thing.
Li Qingzhi was not surprised to hear this.
At this time, when people recruit workers, they like to look for people they know or who have been recommended by others. Otherwise, after they recruit someone, they will run away with the money and you won’t even be able to find them.
But when he met Zhu Qian, he thought of another way to make money: "Master Zhu, do you need someone to write a book for you?"
"What?" Zhu Qian was a little confused.
Li Qingzhi said, "Master Zhu, those wealthy families not only have family trees, but also some capable people in the family will write down their own achievements and compile them into books for future generations to learn from... Master Zhu, do you need someone to help you write a book?"
