Cao An pushed Li Yougui to the front.
"This is Shopkeeper Li from Baihualou. I believe many people know him."
Then he said: "The girls in his family are beautiful and beautiful, and the prices are fair and the craftsmanship is exquisite! And I, the Cao Chamber of Commerce, guarantee that you will get the best value for your money!"
"Haha, support me a lot, support me a lot!"
Li Yougui had already been laughing from ear to ear.
In the past, such a grand publicity scene would have cost less than 180 yuan?
But today he only paid 500 yuan. Not only did he kill a strong competitor, but he also got a wave of free publicity. I'm afraid he could laugh out of his dreams.
"Fat Li, you..."
Jia Changjun's face was swollen, his eyes were narrowed into slits, and he glared at Li Yougui.
Li Yougui was also the shopkeeper of No. 1 on the street, so he was naturally not afraid of him. He turned around and bowed to Cao An and said, "Mr. Cao, Baihualou is willing to join the Cao Chamber of Commerce. The membership fee will be paid immediately!"
Not to mention that Cao An also promised to help them solve their troubles, even if he didn't care about anything, the 500 Wenhua was still worth it!
The shopkeepers in the house also came out one after another.
"Mr. Cao, a certain Yuelai Inn is also willing to join the club!"
"Jubaozhai is also willing!"
"Baiweixuan..."
"And Wenxiang Pavilion..."
No one thought that this was what the sign meant!
What kind of protection fee is this? It’s clearly an advertisement!
That's to be expected.
From today on, whenever a store has the sign of 'Cao's Chamber of Commerce', it means that the store is an honest business.
This is a good thing that would not be exchanged for even a thousand gold coins!
With a smile on his face, Cao An turned around and went back to the house.
On those merchant platforms in later generations, some people even spent a lot of money to hire people to brush orders just for the title of 'excellent merchant'. Isn't this what they want?
None of the shopkeepers paid attention to Jia Changjun and followed Cao An into the house.
"Arhat, close the door."
Snapped!
Jia Changjun stood alone on the street, surrounded by mocking and disdainful looks.
"Cao An, I don't believe that no one can cure you!"
He dug out the plaque on the door bitterly, turned around and went to Kaifeng Mansion...
…
inside the house.
Cao An sat down calmly.
Arhat poured him a cup of tea and stood behind him respectfully, his expression full of admiration.
Everyone knows that Jia Changjun is not easy to mess with, but Cao An beat Jia Changjun in the street for him...
"Everyone."
Cao An looked at everyone, not only took a sip of water in dissatisfaction, but said calmly: "The big words have already been blown out. But we must also say the ugly words up front..."
At this moment, no one dared to provoke anymore, and everyone looked at Cao An seriously.
"If you take the brand of a certain Cao's Chamber of Commerce, you have to abide by the rules of the certain Cao's Chamber of Commerce! If anyone dares to operate maliciously in the future... then don't blame Cao for being cruel!"
The benefits are given to you, so naturally you have to follow the rules.
Once the reputation is ruined, the credibility of the Cao Chamber of Commerce will also be lost, and Cao An will naturally not tolerate it!
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, this person is the most disciplined!"
Li Yougui moved his buttocks, got closer to Cao An, and said enthusiastically: "Besides, from today on, whenever someone discovers someone committing adultery, I, Mr. Cao, will be the first to refuse to do so without Young Master Cao taking action!"
he knows.
Once Cao's Chamber of Commerce establishes credibility in the hearts of the people in the outer city, it will be equivalent to placing a gold-lettered signboard in its own store!
Anyone with a brain would definitely not do this kind of thing.
"In addition, starting from today, Cao's Chamber of Commerce will conduct assessments and evaluations in each store every month! If there are unqualified merchants, Cao's Chamber of Commerce has the right to unilaterally terminate the relationship with them!"
this……
Do we, the people, have to live under your nose in the future?
Everyone suddenly lost their previous enthusiasm.
Cao An didn't care, and just said calmly: "Everyone, Cao is not the kind of bully who takes things by force. If anyone doesn't want to join, they can leave. Don't worry, Cao will never retaliate!"
That being said, why did Jia Changjun's face become swollen?
Cao An obviously wanted to use Jia Changjun to become famous, and he did it!
But the problem is...
Once the reputation of Cao's Chamber of Commerce is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people, everything Cao An does will be infinitely magnified.
When the time comes, will those merchants whose brands have been confiscated be labeled as profiteers?
Otherwise, why did Dudu accept your home brand?
One of the shopkeepers stood up and said with a polite smile: "Shopkeeper Cao, Mr. Liu is just a small businessman. It really doesn't make any difference whether he joins the Chamber of Commerce or not... As for the five hundred yuan membership fee... just treat it like Mr. Liu is opening a new store for you. A congratulatory gift."
"Okay, send it to Shopkeeper Liu!"
Cao An didn't talk nonsense. He stood up and fisted with the man, smiling politely.
Business cannot be done without righteousness, so you can't just beat someone up whenever something goes wrong, right?
The shopkeeper had already made plans to fall out with Cao An, but he didn't expect that he actually agreed.
Then, why did Jia Changjun’s face become swollen?
Cao An ignored him, turned around, looked around, and said with a smile: "If there is anyone who doesn't want to join, you can leave. Cao will never force you to stay."
"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Cao..."
At this time, several more shopkeepers stood up.
Although none of them wanted to join the Chamber of Commerce, they all left some gift money as a way to save face for each other.
After a while, there were only a dozen people left in the room.
Cao An looked at Li Yougui and said with a smile, "Won't Shopkeeper Li leave?"
"Can you still leave?"
Li Yougui replied half-jokingly.
Just now, Cao An helped him publicize it in public. If he didn't go back with the sign today, Baihualou would become a laughing stock among the people in the outer city tomorrow.
"Don't worry, I won't let you lose!"
Cao An smiled and patted him on the shoulder, like a second-rate dealer with nothing to show for it.
…
Bianliang is very prosperous.
Even the capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang during the Han and Tang Dynasties, which were built up by the Song Dynasty with the whole country's efforts, were much inferior to this place.
In the afternoon, Cao An simply made some mutton soup cakes to eat, and planned to go back to the backyard to take a nap.
"Mr. Lang!"
Arhat came to the back hall and said respectfully: "The people you want me to find have arrived, and they are all outside."
"Bring the people in and close the door."
The door of Cao's Chamber of Commerce is closed.
Cao An is sitting in the middle hall, with Chang Chun and Wu Han standing behind him.
He glanced at the twenty or so local gangsters in front of him and said calmly: "Do you want to hang out with so-and-so?"
"think!"
Everyone said in unison.
When he came, Luo Han had already laid out the conditions. Those who joined Cao's Chamber of Commerce would be paid half a pound per month, plus a 10% commission.
And the work is easy.
It's nothing more than collecting accounts, patrolling the streets, helping others solve problems... and occasionally beating up a few blind little bullies.
This is simply not easy for them!
"When you enter someone's house, you must abide by someone's rules..."
Cao An didn't think these twenty or so rough guys were scary, but thought they were quite cute: "First: Don't bully the weak! Second: Don't take jobs privately! Third: Don't betray your trust!"
"Is there a problem?"
"No!"
