Although seclusion was imminent, Tang Zhao still took the time to go down the mountain and return to his store.
Bai Yushenghui's appearance is as good as ever, and business is better than before, but it can't be said that it is too popular. The location and business model of the store determine that it cannot be as popular as the big hotels in the city.
During Tang Zhao's absence, shopkeeper You Liu was running the store carefully and Xue Yeyu was taking care of it. Everything was running very smoothly. Although she had no time to take care of it in the last ten days because of Shi Chunqing's affairs, the store would not be in trouble. Because there was no one to take care of it for more than ten days, it became such a mess.
When he came to the store, he saw Wei Se for the first time. He was organizing the shelves in the store like a clerk.
Well, Wei Se turned into something he had never seen before, but Tang Zhao recognized it at a glance, because Wei Se didn't change his pale eyes.
"coming?"
"coming."
After answering these two inexplicable words, Tang Zhao couldn't help but smile, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the art, and said: "Are you in trouble?"
Wei Se shook his head and said, "The journey went smoothly and I arrived as promised. Shopkeeper Liu also takes good care of me."
Tang Zhao nodded. The time they agreed on was March, but he delayed it. Wei Se waited until he didn't come, so he had to work in the store first. Don't look at Wei Se's statement that he can do nothing but be a killer and that he can't make a living outside, but this is as self-deprecating as he considers himself a "rough man". He has been a killer for many years. He has been to various places to lurk for his mission, and he is also good at observing people's emotions. Where can he not find a bowl of food? You can do a good job working part-time, you just follow Tang Zhao for your future.
Tang Zhao returned to the store, hastily reviewed the accounts, and took the time to arrange things for the next few months.
The first thing is to arrange for several big orders he will take on the road, mainly the Snow Dragon cars customized by Wang Fei. The resident Fu Jianshi disciple in the car shop couldn't do it, and he didn't have time, so he left it to Jiang Shenyi. Jiang Shenyi said that if he didn't make swords, he wouldn't make swords. He didn't participate in seclusion and took over the defense on the mountain. He was not too busy at first. Tang Zhao handed him the drawings. Jiang Shenyi had extraordinary attainments in the talisman style and would definitely be able to make it. Although Jiang Shenyi is the youngest among the brothers who stayed behind, he is strong and responsible and can dominate the situation. Senior brothers Qin and Deng were more responsible for general affairs. Tang Zhao also trusted him the most, entrusting him with not only orders but also the store. During this period, Bai Yushenghui can always turn to Jiang Shenyi for help when encountering major problems.
In addition, Wang Fei also ordered a batch of trauma hand lamps on behalf of the Snow Mountain Palace. As a regular royal palace entrusted by the imperial court, it is impossible for the Snow Mountain Palace to purchase military supplies from outside on a large scale before the world is really in chaos. The trauma hand light can be considered a marginal item, but once used, it is also a strategic material.
Tang Zhao would not make this batch of hand lamps himself. He standardized the talismans and materials and handed them over to the white jade disciples in the shop. He also recruited some black jade disciples to work on them, temporarily implementing the handmade workshop model. Baiyu Shenghui Store is responsible for connecting with Wangfu, and then responsible for logistics and after-sales. This was the first time that the store was responsible for a large volume of business. Tang Zhao attached great importance to it and told Shopkeeper Liu to be extra cautious, provide comprehensive services, and ensure customer satisfaction.
Also, there is the preparation for the sword-making conference.
"The Sword Forging Conference requires a lot of supplies, and our store is responsible for part of the purchasing and conference work. We need to take this seriously. This is our own family's business. Making money is not important. The Sword Forging Conference must be successfully held."
Shopkeeper Liu agreed and was very happy - these were the businesses he had done in the past, and they were also the businesses he was good at. Making money was not the first priority, but he did not say that he could not make money. A sword-making convention would bring a lot of profits. , said: "I understand this. When purchasing, quality is the main priority, and we must not allow others to pass off inferior products."
Tang Zhao didn't say much. As long as the business is fair and just, making money is the right thing to do. This is not about him seeking personal gain with power. There are shares in the store from other brothers and sisters, and the accounts can also be supervised. He is much better than those profiteers outside.
"We also need to make arrangements for borrowing talismans to promote the store. We had planned a big event before, but I thought about it and scaled it down a bit. Don't let too many people go, and don't overwhelm the guests."
The reason for keeping a low profile was that the sword-making conference was to rectify the name of Zhuoyu Villa. Xue Xianyun's reputation was the most important, and everything else was put in the back row. Secondly, Tang Zhao felt that it was a troubled time and asked the ordinary clerks in the store to go to Zhuoyu Villa. If there was danger, ordinary people would not be able to protect themselves and it would be difficult to evacuate.
It wasn't that he cursed the sword-making conference to not go smoothly, but Tang Zhao had a premonition from the bottom of his heart that the conference would not be peaceful. Not to mention the repeated warnings coming from all over the place, it was just that after his experience in the Talisman Meeting, he had a psychological shadow on this kind of meeting where dragons and snakes were mixed and gathered from all directions, and he always felt that it was difficult to be at peace. If Jianzhou is beaten, it will be beaten, and if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Zhuoyu Villa is his own home, and he will never allow it to cause trouble like this.
It just so happened that he was facing the same enemy as Jianzhou - the turtle bandits. No amount of preparation is too much to deal with these people.
Maybe we should hire foreign aid.
Liu Qiguang solemnly agreed. In fact, he had heard a little about what happened on the mountain. After all, Bai Yushenghui and Zhuoyu Villa were too close. He also vaguely felt that a storm was coming and had already made many arrangements.
"Of course, the auction can be held. Allocate a place on the mountain, set up an exhibition first, make the atmosphere more relaxed, add entertainment, set up an overseas shopping mall next to it, and auction on the last day. All of these processes can be held, and they can be reduced as discussed before Let’s take a look at the scale. But those guys outside who have poor martial arts skills and don’t know the basics should not go up the mountain.” He thought for a while and then added, “If you go up the mountain to arrange it in advance, let Wei Se follow you up.”
Liu Qiguang nodded, and then reported to Tang Zhao his work of recruiting talents and poaching. The store has already filled several professional talents. These people can be used to decorate the venue, but they need to be removed when the time comes. After all, they are not the core.
"The person I was looking for to host the auction has arrived and is now in charge of the boutique area. You can meet him. He is beautiful, eloquent, and knowledgeable about goods. Although he is not a talisman sword master, he can handle ordinary magic weapons. I can tell you one, two, three, four, and five. I also know about jewelry and antiques, so I’m most suitable to be a store manager.”
Tang Zhao smiled and said, "I remember you mentioned this girl. Have you ever rescued her?"
Liu Qiguang sighed: "That was more than ten years ago. That year my daughter was abducted by a kidnapper. I chased her but failed to rescue her..." He said with a dark look on his face, "I saved several other children. . This girl looked like my daughter, so I paid special attention to her. I originally wanted to adopt her as an adopted daughter, but she was lucky, her family found her, and she followed her back to the south. I heard that her family was also in business, so she was there. She comes from a wealthy family with a lot of background. In the past few years, she has become an adult and has become more and more outstanding. It is said that she started a career alone according to the family rules. I met her when I went to Zhouzhi and we recognized each other. She worked here She is still qualified, and I will promote her even if there is no chance of success."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "One drink and one peck, it's destiny. You helped her back then, and she helps you now. It's really a perfect fit."
At that moment, they talked about a lot of business matters, and Tang Zhao repeatedly emphasized that the most important thing now is to pay attention to safety. Boutiques are stuck on traffic arteries, so they are best suited to act as eyes and ears. If there is any disturbance, they must be notified in time.
"If this sword-making conference is successful, the store in Chincheng can be opened. At that time, we will light up the first center on the business map."
In fact, the store in Jichun City has been open for a long time. He has owned a piece of land there for a long time - as a member of the Land Inspection Department of Jichun City, he can even be considered a local slut and can cover his own store. However, in order to enter the city and become an instant hit, he still hesitated to open a branch in a hurry.
Then Tang Zhao met the girl with potential as a store manager, whose surname was Gao and whose name was Gao Yuechen. As expected, he has a bright appearance and generous manners. It seems that he not only has outstanding knowledge, but also has experience in the business world and treats people in a clear and polite manner.
Tang Zhao deeply felt that Shopkeeper Liu probably felt that the girl looked like his daughter because of empathy. After all, this girl had no resemblance to Shopkeeper Liu, and there was no way she could look like his daughter.
Gao Yuechen was also very satisfied with Tang Zhao. Although he felt that he was young, he was very visionary and smart, with clear goals and a strategic business plan, not to mention that there were promising talisman sword masters and future swordsmiths. The aura is added. Even my own family would not be slow to treat such a person, and would even rush to make friends with him.
She also said bluntly: "My daughter is now out for training, which can last for five years or three years. She has to go home. But when I am working in the store, I naturally do my best and obey the boss's arrangements."
Tang Zhao had known this for a long time and said with a smile: "Of course it doesn't matter. It's rare to have such a fate. As long as Miss Gao fulfills her duties, everyone will be treated equally in terms of treatment, and she will not hide any secrets in other aspects."
After meeting Gao Yuechen, Tang Zhao finally found Wei Se.
Wei Se found Liu Qiguang before and used some Mohu language to make Liu Qiguang believe that he was Tang Zhao's confidant, so he naturally accepted him into the store to occupy an important position. Wei Se also did an impressive job, which was even more valued by Shopkeeper Liu. This time Tang Zhao saw that he had naturally become one of his own.
Tang Zhao said: "I will be in seclusion for a few months this time. Come up the mountain with me. Mrs. Huarong may be worried about her daughter and will come here to visit. It will not be beautiful to see you."
Although he said before that he didn't care about the relationship between Wei Se and Mrs. Huarong, he couldn't really ignore it. It wouldn't be good for him to cause trouble and hurt anyone.
Wei Se said: "Are you sure someone will cause trouble for the sword-making conference?"
Tang Zhao said bluntly: "I won't hide it from you. Someone will come looking for us, and they will be our old acquaintances."
Wei Se said: "Turtle bandits?"
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "These restless turtles have their sights on something on my mountain. In short, they have been planning for a long time. I suspect..."
More than just suspicion, he was eighty percent sure that it was people like Gui Kou who contacted the senior brother's defection.
It’s really a disgusting organization that does all kinds of evil, smokes out of immorality, and fans people everywhere.
Wei Se just frowned when he heard Gui Kou. Compared with Yama Wangdian, who had a psychological shadow, he had no scruples about Gui Kou. If he had, he wouldn't have betrayed him so neatly.
He thought for a while and said: "Then I won't go up the mountain with you. I will stay at the foot of the mountain to watch for the wind. I have been among the turtle bandits for a while and am familiar with their ways. I may be able to find out some additional clues."
Tang Zhao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then please pay attention to safety."
He actually trusted Wei Se's ability. After so many years as a killer, he might really be able to discover something.
Wei Se said: "By the way, there is also a letter from you here."
