Then she said loudly: "This month, everyone's monthly salary will be tripled! Hurry, prepare all the sacrifices prepared in the kitchen, and go to worship your ancestors immediately!"
When Liu's father heard this, he quickly wiped his tears and said loudly: "That's right, that's right! It's important to pay homage to our ancestors!"
After Father Liu finished speaking, he led everyone to the ancestral hall in the backyard. When they arrived, servants were already waiting outside the ancestral hall with tributes. Father Liu and Liu Haojia and others arranged the tributes themselves, burned incense and knelt down.
Later, when Father Liu told his ancestors about the recent family situation, the first half of what he said was relatively smooth, but the second half was closer to drunken babble because he was too excited. Maybe only he knew what he was talking about! But no one found fault with him at this time!
Father Liu cried and laughed like this for nearly two quarters of an hour before finally calming down. Then he wiped away his tears and turned to the Liu Haonian brothers and said, "You two, kneel in front!"
After hearing this, the two brothers stood up and knelt down beside Father Liu, and then Father Liu said loudly to the memorial tablet: "Forefathers and ancestors on high, unfilial descendant Liu Runlin has no ability in his life, he just raised two unicorn children! Especially the second child, He even earned a title for his family! So the ancestors should take good care of them. In the future, the success of our Liu family will all depend on these two brothers!
After saying that, he led everyone to bow again and again, and after kowtowing several times, he led everyone to exit the ancestral hall. After leaving the door, Liu's father shouted: "Let's have a banquet, let the whole family celebrate together!"
Things became much simpler after that. Naturally, the Liu family entertained guests from all walks of life. Especially when Liu Haojia was so popular, the people who came to congratulate him were like crucian carp crossing the river! So the Liu family made a fuss for fifteen or sixteen years before it stopped!
Since then, the Liu family has become a legend in the capital, a family with two noble families! Moreover, Liu Haojia earned his title through his own efforts, which is even more remarkable! The nobles are also very happy to have an emperor's confidant in their group!
But what the nobles regret is that Liu Haojia is already engaged! Especially when they knew that his fiancée was just the daughter of a merchant, they all became interested! So all parties tried to test whether Liu Haojia was willing to break off the engagement and marry another? He also said that he could choose from the legitimate daughters and concubines of various major families!
However, these were all declined by Liu Haojia. For this reason, he also dedicated two days to accompany his fiancée for outings. This made the thoughtful people give up and also made the Zhang family and Ms. Zhang feel at ease!
After finishing his family affairs, Liu Haojia finally sent notices to each company, set a date for the meeting, and asked them to discuss the division of exclusive market areas under the expectation of many nobles. The nobles were overjoyed when they heard the news. They were about to get a way to make money!
On this day at the end of this month, the entire second floor of Shiweizhai was dedicated to this meeting. When Liu Haojia arrived, nearly a hundred people of all sizes were already sitting on the entire second floor! Even Wei Guogong and his three families sent their own housekeepers to attend.
However, Liu Haojia knew that these three people were just here to take a look and would not actually participate in the specific division. This is more of a consideration for Liu Haojia. If he can control so many people, they will naturally give him support. If he can't, they will be happy to take over the entire Ming Dynasty's glassware business!
As soon as Liu Haojia came upstairs, everyone came to greet him. He looked at all the housekeepers on the second floor, and Liu Haojia was furious but also secretly regretful!
The reason for being cruel is that these nobles are really too much and want to give him a blow! It's really embarrassing for him, as Uncle Wu Ning, to have a meeting with someone and actually have to discuss business matters with a group of housekeepers! What's a pity is that the Liu family's foundation is really too weak and they can't send a housekeeper!
In fact, it's not surprising that other noble families sent a bunch of butlers. In fact, these things should be what the butlers do. And the Liu family's only nominal butler is actually a servant, and he is simply incapable of doing such a thing! This also reminded Liu Haojia that he must strengthen the cultivation of talents for the family!
So Liu Haojia was thinking about something in his mind while greeting everyone with a smile. There is really nothing we can do about this. The people sent by each family today are all confidants who can really make the decision, which means that they are all very old. And he, a young man, really needs to be more polite! After all, these people directly represent the face of each family head!
Liu Haojia walked through the crowd and walked to the south wall to stand. Behind him was a large curtained window. There were four large tables placed side by side in front of him, covered with a layer of fine cloth, making it difficult to see what was underneath. But everyone guessed that it should be glassware.
After Liu Haojia raised his hand to signal, everyone immediately fell silent and listened to Liu Haojia say: "Everyone, although Mr. Liu is an earl, today we are talking about business, so we will count according to his status! Putting this aside, I will be the next age. Xiao, when I see you on weekdays, I probably have to call you uncle or uncle or something like that! So today we only talk about business and nothing else!"
His words immediately triggered a burst of echoes from below. At the same time, the faces of these housekeepers also became much more straightened. These mature guys all felt that Liu Haojia, the new Wu Ningbo, had some abilities. In one sentence, all the gaps were wiped out, and it only came down to businessman vs. businessman! Then if he masters the technology and formula, he will be the most proactive person in the room!
When Liu Haojia saw their expressions stabilized, he knew that what he just said had an effect. Then he said seriously: "You are well-informed in the capital, and I think you have seen glassware for a long time! But what you may not know is how many good things have been produced by the glass workshop during this time? "
After speaking, he removed the fine cloth covering the table, revealing the things placed on it. The metaphors on the first two tables are familiar to everyone. But what’s on the last two tables is completely different! There are all new items they have never seen before!
It can be said that this is truly a dazzling array of things. From eating bowls and chopsticks to jade pendants, to Buddhist rosary beads and Taoist whisks, almost everything they can think of appears here! The people present were greatly surprised! They really didn't expect that glass could do so many things!
Just when everyone was surprised, Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Do you think Liu's ability is this little? Then you are wrong! Look again!"
