Oh~ there’s something fishy in there!
That’s interesting. I didn’t expect that road construction is just a cover. I wonder how much benefit it will bring later?
The wealthy businessmen began to look forward to it.
When Fang Zheng saw the change in his aura, he smiled and said, "First of all, there are only two requirements for road construction!"
"Durable! Flat! That's all."
"You can carve whatever you want on the masonry used on the road, and the government will never pursue it!"
“Whether it’s the products you’re selling, your own slogans, or pictures, it’s all fine.”
"Just imagine! The whole street is engraved with the messages left by your family... So will there be any colleagues of yours on this street?"
"And this road! All maintenance work within fifty years will be handed over to the successful bidder!"
"Of course, I haven't finished talking yet. The profits and opportunities in this alone...please think about it."
Damn it! This is awesome!
As soon as Fang Zheng said this, the following thought immediately started a discussion.
Hasn’t the entire street become its own sign?
If I were a jewelry seller, I could see my store’s sign when I lowered my head. Who knows about other stores?
Suddenly there was a strange voice from the crowd.
"Master Fang, although we are all merchants and work in lowly professions, we still have some dignity."
"Who would be willing to put their own sign on the ground and let others trample on it? If word spread, wouldn't they be laughed at?"
"Besides, Jianjiang can't compare to the capital where Mr. Fang lives. How many people are literate?"
Yes, putting your sign on the ground might have the opposite effect.
The discussion stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at Fang Zhengyi again.
Where did the dog come from? So talkative?
Fang Zheng glanced sideways and knew immediately.
This man has a sharp mouth and a mean look, and his name is Cheng Kui. He is a famous medicinal material dealer in Jianjiang, with medicine shops all over Jianjiang.
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Oh, this is Boss Cheng. This is just a matter of concept."
"But what you said makes sense. There are indeed some ignorant people who think it is unlucky for a sign to be stepped on, but all of us here are doing long-term business!"
"Do those ignorant people think that they are stepping on other people's signs every day?"
"I'm telling you, they won't think about it, don't care, just smile and get over it. They only know one thing! When they want to buy medicine, your boss Cheng's pharmacy is the only one on this street!"
"What if this street was built by the Zhang Family Pharmacy and the Li Family Pharmacy? Excuse me, would anyone know about the Cheng Family with your high-profile sign?"
"We are all businessmen, with flexible minds and flexible ideas."
"If you want to do big business, you must cherish your good reputation. Don't be afraid of bad reputation, just be afraid of not being famous!"
Cheng Kui lowered his head and began to think deeply after hearing this, and the people in the audience began to discuss in low voices again.
"Master Fang said it well! It's really thought-provoking! I am the only one qualified to build this street, Sunjia City!"
Suddenly, Sun Jiacheng stood up and howled.
Wang Qixun immediately followed and started to slap the case, and said angrily: "Why! I haven't taken the photo yet. Your loud voice is yours?"
"Just because I am faster than you!"
"You fart!"
"Hey! Don't fight...Master Fang is still here!"
The two started arguing at the top of their lungs, and when they were about to start fighting, the people around them tried to pull them apart.
Fang Zheng looked at the two of them with admiration.
really not bad! What a shill! What a shill!
"Ahem! Okay! Stop making trouble, everyone! Of course, everyone wants good things, so let's just rely on our financial resources!"
Fang Zhengyi's rhythm was disrupted. He picked up the gavel and banged the table twice.
"Um...where did you talk about just now?"
"When doing business, you are afraid of losing your reputation!"
"Oh, yes, yes! I went on to say that according to what Boss Cheng said just now, the vast majority of people in the city are illiterate, right?"
"Actually, this isn't a problem! First, illiterate people don't have much money themselves, so naturally they won't have much impact on your business."
"Second! I have ordered people to start building a school outside the city. All children under the age of twelve will be admitted for free!"
"From now on, we will follow this rule. Even if you are older, there will be schools with tuition exemptions for the common people!"
"You have been maintaining roads for a full fifty years! How many literate customers will you witness in fifty years!"
"How many people have passed through this street in the past fifty years, including the top candidates, the top picks, the second place winners, and even the top picks!"
"When they grow up and go to local offices, you can open a branch. Then the local officials will have feelings for you!!"
"In a few decades, your branches will be able to open all over the country and all over the world!"
"When the time comes, your family will be the Chamber of Commerce! It will be the Merchant Gang! No... you can't say that, you should be called a consortium!"
"With a huge amount of wealth in your hands, you are as rich as the government. Your family's every move can even cause an earthquake in an industry."
"By then you will not only have wealth, but also responsibility! Provide services to countless people!"
"At that time, how will the officials in the court view merchants? At that time, no one will dare to say that merchants are a lowly profession, and all officials will look down upon you!"
The audience below is already excited.
Fang Zheng closed his eyes, raised his head and sighed, "But what now?"
"The status of merchants is still not recognized. You don't even dare to go out on the streets wearing rich clothes."
"Those poor scholars can be admired by others with great arrogance, but we businessmen can only walk at night in bright clothes."
"On days like this, I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart!"
"To be honest, I grew up in a merchant family, and I have been looked down upon by others since I was a child."
"But my parents still worked hard to raise me and sent me to school."
Fang Zheng smiled to himself, my family owns a canteen, I don’t know how many people envied me when I was a kid!
"I've known since then, who is the most tireless and hard-working person in the world? It's the businessman!"
"Who is the most beautiful person in the world? It's the merchant!"
"So I have had a dream since I was a child, that is, I must change my status as a merchant when I grow up!"
"Having the right to renovate and maintain streets for fifty years, do you know how much scolding I will bear in court? But those are not important!"
"The important thing is, I need a chance! Everyone needs a chance too! What is this opportunity? Who can tell me?"
Sun Jiacheng stood up suddenly and said: "Clear the merchant's name!"
"Clear the names of merchants!"
You're fucking stealing my words again, aren't you? Wang Qixun gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Jiacheng.
The businessmen in the audience were stunned.
An official, in front of so many people, shouted that he wanted to clear the name of a businessman?
This... I wouldn’t even dare to do this in my dream! Tears!
"Master Fang is so righteous!!!"
