This is not the first day that Jiang Hong has worked with Su Tang. Su Tang has always been clear about rewards and punishments. He prefers people who do things well and understand things well than those who talk nonsense.
So after hearing Su Tang's words, Jiang Hong said simply, "I understand what the lady means, and I will do my best not to disappoint the lady."
"Well, I will leave these people to you for the time being. Before Xingxingtang's sauce is put on the market in large quantities, these people will be trained and placed in the shop to ensure that all the products of Xingxingtang can be sold smoothly. What do you use? I don’t care about the method, but I remember that we must open up the local connections, and you can’t use my identity as the county leader, you understand?”
Su Tang set tasks for Jiang Hong, and Jiang Hong also understood what Su Tang meant: "Don't worry, miss, I will definitely find the most suitable shopkeepers for these shops."
Doing business is afraid of local snakes. It is easy for Su Tang to buy a shop, but doing business is another matter. Why can the Luo family continue to grow in the north? It is almost a monopoly and no one else can beat them. The reason is that the Luo family has opened up many connections. joint.
But even the Luo family cannot be like the imperial court. They have influence and minions everywhere, so Su Tang's fight against the Luo family this time is to take the route of surrounding the city from the countryside.
She doesn't want to fight against the Luo family's sales channels. She will only develop in a place like Qingzhou first. Only when she has roots can she thrive. Otherwise, if she takes too big a step, she will definitely be in vain.
And when Su Tang talks about opening up local connections, he actually means having a relationship with the local county magistrate or county magistrate. The Luo family can have a relationship with the Qingzhou prefect, but they may not be able to take care of a small county magistrate, or even a small one. County magistrate.
Therefore, it is better for the county officials to take charge now and get through the local snakes. Su Tang’s dozen or so shops can open stably. Only when they have a stable footing can they expand outward. This is why Su Tang said that these dozen shops all use local products. Shopkeeper, because locals definitely know the situation better than outsiders.
It doesn’t matter even if you sacrifice a little profit. After the initial investment has established a foothold, the rest will be easy to handle.
Jiang Hong had made a lot of progress in managing the sauce workshop in the past year, so when Su Tang said it, he understood it immediately.
"Okay, you can take the people away." Su Tang made it clear to Jiang Hong and asked him to take the servants he just bought to the town.
She was really impatient that there were so many people at home, and she thought it was making a fuss, so Jiang Hong really left with them.
Jiang Hong took this group of people to live temporarily in a rented courtyard in Qinghe Town, and then invited a gentleman from nearby to teach them how to read and write, and then planned to settle accounts.
Because they don't need to take the imperial examination or anything like that, the teaching is relatively simple. My husband is a scholar in his fifties. He used to work as a shopkeeper. Recently, he has been resting at home because of his poor health. It just so happens that this teaching job can make money. Just took it.
"This is Mr. Lu. Miss Lu said it herself. Those of you who learn well will be the shopkeeper, accountant, or even the shopkeeper in the future. Those who do not learn well are not capable enough and cannot rely on others. They can only be the shopkeepers. A guy."
Jiang Hong conveyed Su Tang's thoughts and attitude to these people. After hearing his words, a young girl spoke up, "If we girls learn well, can we also be shopkeepers?"
Just after she finished speaking, a male servant next to her curled her lips, "It's enough for a woman to know how to give birth. Why do you want to be a shopkeeper?"
