Qian Buqun rolled off the car, his frightened look was extremely funny.
The people couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
"Who, who?"
Several soldiers in Liangzhou who were responsible for protecting Qian Buqun came to take office, drew their swords and shouted angrily.
Cheng Dai also ran out, helped Qian Buqun up, and shouted: "Whoever is causing trouble, arrest him and torture him!"
Qian Buqun was also furious: "You are being evil to the people and being evil to the people!"
Liu Zheng rode up slowly on his horse and smiled playfully: "Except Mr. Cheng, what right do you, a mere merchant, have to torture you?"
When Qian Buqun saw Liu Zheng, his expression suddenly changed, and he laughed sarcastically: "Who do you think you are? It turns out to be your nephew! Aren't you and Liu Dahao in that unruly land in Yinzhou? Why are you here in Yangzhou? Hahahahaha!”
Liu Zheng looked at him dumbfounded.
Others also looked like fools.
By this time, Liu Zheng also understood that co-author Qian Buqun was probably tricked into taking up the post by that old fox Chen Ping. He didn't know anything about the affairs of Yangzhou at all. Well, this is more in line with the old thief Chen Ping's style of doing things.
"Uncle Qian, I'm here to take over Yangzhou with you!"
Liu Zheng smiled faintly and shouted: "Where are the Yinzhou soldiers?"
Thousands of people behind him responded in unison: "Yes!"
"Why don't you help the county lord to mount his horse?"
"yes!"
Before Qian Buqun could react, several Yinzhou soldiers had already rushed over. Without any explanation, they picked up the struggling Qian Buqun and threw them onto the horse.
"Be bold!"
"How dare you..."
The group of people from Liangzhou shouted angrily.
Liu Zheng looked at each other coldly and said calmly: "You have failed to protect the county magistrate of Yangzhou and caused the county magistrate to fall away. There must be a traitor here!"
"exist!"
Qin Changfeng said excitedly.
"Pull them all down, torture them one by one, and interrogate the main culprit!"
"yes!"
Those Liangzhou soldiers were frightened on the spot. Qin Changfeng led a group of cavalry and disarmed them directly. Not only that, the people in red and green were also taken away by the heavy cavalry. For a time, the welcoming scene that was bustling just now turned into a feather.
"You, you, you, you dare!"
Qian Buqun stared at Liu Zheng, shocked and angry.
Liu Zheng smiled coldly: "Uncle Qian, I wonder if you have prepared a coffin for me when you come to Yangzhou this time?"
As soon as these words came out, thousands of Yinzhou soldiers shouted at the same time: "Prepare the coffin!"
Qian Buqun was so frightened that he realized that the former No. 1 Dandy in Liangzhou was no longer the Wu Xia Ameng of the past. The document said that the handover of Yangzhou was with him?
"This, this, this..."
Cheng Dai looked even more panicked at this time.
Today, he tried his best to please the new county magistrate. He took hundreds of his servants to stand on the streets to welcome him, beating gongs and drums, and shouting and cheering. But who would have thought that Liu Zheng would be so domineering, and he would be incompetent even if he didn't give him the money.
This made him a little embarrassed.
"Welcome to the county magistrate!"
Liu Zheng smiled and did not dismount. He just held the horse carrying the money with one hand and shouted loudly.
Qian Buqun was so frightened that he hugged the horse's neck tightly and was about to cry without tears. He was afraid that if he fell more than 300 kilograms, he would die or be disabled!
"Welcome to the county magistrate!"
Thousands of Yinzhou soldiers made loud noises and laughed endlessly.
The common people also followed suit.
Qian Buqun, who thought about entering Yangzhou majestically, had already closed his eyes tightly, unable to bear the humiliation.
This is probably the most cowardly scene of a county official entering the city in history.
When they arrived at the county lord's mansion, Qian Buqun saw Liu Zheng leaving, and then he became furious: "How can this be unreasonable? How can it be unreasonable? This thief is bullying me too much!"
"Where are the soldiers?"
He slammed the table and shouted angrily.
If I don’t take revenge for this, I swear I won’t be a human being!
However, only a few people came here sparsely, and it was estimated that these soldiers were in their fifties or sixties.
"Where are the Yangzhou soldiers? Are you the only ones?"
Qian Buqun was about to vomit blood.
"Sir, don't you know? Hey, the soldiers are all running to the Chamber of Commerce to claim their money!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Stop talking, sir, we have to go too! By the way, what are you calling us for?"
Qian Buqun waved his hands helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay."
Several veterans ran away. Not only that, Qian Buqun discovered that none of the counselors and deacons of the county houfu appeared in front of him because of his arrival!
He even had some doubts.
Are you here to be an official?
Lord Prefect, that’s not what you said! You told me, look at Liu Dahao, who donated money to buy a county magistrate. Now he is so fat. In this era, titles are still popular... So, you fooled yourself into buying a Yangzhou county magistrate with two million silver.
That's it?
…
And look at the Liu Mansion at this time.
It was very lively today, and the threshold of the huge manor was squeezed through.
Liu Zheng had already asked his servants to prepare cakes, tea and wine, and send out the copied agreement. This is the first time we are setting up a company in this era, and we must let these people see it clearly. Zheng Yueru also walked among the crowd, explaining patiently to people.
The company's system, responsibilities, obligations, dividend model, investment share, etc...
The amount of investment, what kind of patents can be obtained, and what kind of status can be obtained are of course different.
In order to attract these people, Liu Zheng even promised that as long as he invested a certain amount, the patents of Shen Gongfang could be shared in the future.
"Mr. Liu, can I ask a question? What exactly is a patent? What is the use of this patent?"
an old man asked.
Others nodded.
"Yes, it's probably not difficult for others to imitate it, right?"
"How can we protect it?"
Liu Zheng understands this kind of problem very well. In this era, there is almost no concept of intellectual property rights.
He chuckled and said, "It's simple. As long as the fine wines produced by our Chamber of Commerce are all equipped with our glassware, our soaps will all be marked with our trademarks! The same goes for our perfumes!"
This is another marketing concept!
Branding!
If you want to be truly branded, you must master core technologies, such as glass manufacturing. This is a technology that Liu Zheng will never allow to be leaked out. Then this matter is simple. If others don't have glass, even if they imitate it, it is not the real "Drunken Yinzhou"! Gradually, the concept of brand is established in people's minds, especially among flower houses and literati everywhere. They must be made to feel that if you are not drinking the orthodox drunk Yinzhou, then you are a loser!
Liu Zheng would even think of something to do with the trademark, for example, like Jiang Xiaobai in later generations, add some copywriting? Poetry? This is another unique branding approach that can be deeply rooted in people's hearts!
Although everyone was still confused, they could accept it.
"Sir, what is this soap?"
someone asked again.
Liu Zheng said: "The bathing stuff is a hundred times better than pig's pancreas!"
The man continued: "Sir, pardon me, this soap is definitely not as good as fine wine! You know, in Liangzhou, most people can't take a few baths a year!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zheng Yueru also looked at Liu Zheng.
Yes, in this era, even pig pancreas was something that only wealthy families could afford. Ordinary people could only wash themselves in the river in the summer. Where is the concept of bathing?
She wanted to know how Liu Zheng would respond?
Liu Zheng smiled: "So, this is the purpose of establishing the Chamber of Commerce!"
"We must not only produce and sell goods, but also learn to use our company to develop markets!"
His eyes were burning and he looked around: "Since the people don't understand the use of soap and what bathing is, then tell them that if they don't take a bath, we will instill in them the concepts of body odor and bad breath! Let them know that they smell bad every day. God, look at whether he can wash it or not!"
Everyone laughed, but they were shocked in their hearts.
Although these sound like very simple principles, they know that no one has ever truly regarded this as a career!
Liu Zheng, next, explained to them the most direct benefits they recognized after joining the Chamber of Commerce.
Monopoly, franchise!
"I, the Zheng family, pledge to raise 500,000 yuan!"
It was almost time to watch the first "theoretical knowledge lecture", and Zheng Yueru stood up first.
The rich men looked at each other, and soon someone followed: "Wang family, two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Cao family, two hundred thousand!"
"Luo family, one hundred thousand!"
"Me, one thousand taels!"
The atmosphere at the scene was in full swing instantly.
What shocked Liu Zheng was that in just one day, his Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce raised a total of 3.8 million taels of silver! And there are also resource channels for caravans to take shares, workshops to take shares, craftsmen to take shares, and so on...
This is the first time he has had so much money since he came to this world.
But at the same time, looking at the trusting, trembling, excited, and fearful eyes of those rich people, Liu Zheng also felt that it was a great responsibility and a glorious mission.
He needs to use the money to create a real business empire.
Next, Liu Zheng announced his appointment to the Chamber of Commerce.
Zheng Yueru did not hesitate to spend 500,000, and was undoubtedly elected as the "chairman" of the Chamber of Commerce. Liu Zheng named him the chief shopkeeper, which means president.
These people have no objections to Zheng Yueru. After all, her business talents are well-known.
But then, Liu Zheng appointed Jiang Xuan as the assistant to the general manager, which was incomprehensible. But it was just an assistant, and no one else said anything.
Then, there is Zheng Yueru, who temporarily serves as the general director of the marketing department of the Chamber of Commerce.
Cao Zhen serves as the general director of the workshop department.
Wang Bo, serves as the general director of the Ministry of Transport...
As for Liu Zheng, he is naturally the president.
In the future, personnel adjustments will be made as the development progresses.
On this day, the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce was established.
People still don't realize at this time what kind of era this chamber of commerce will lead in the Longyang Dynasty and even the world.
There is a big banquet here, and the wine is flowing.
Jiang Xuan, who had always been in a mood, drank a few glasses of wine, banged the table, and looked at Liu Zheng angrily: "Master, if you want to drive Jiang Xuan away, just say so. Why insult me?"
The whole audience was shocked and started talking.
Liu Zheng looked at him and said: "Insulting you?"
Jiang Xuan banged the table and said angrily: "Isn't it true? Jiang Xuan has been obsessed with the art of war in his life, and I would rather die if you let me associate with such pawns and traders!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the room changed drastically.
Liu Zheng's eyes also turned cold.
