It's not that Zhao Tai didn't understand what Xiaoqiong meant, he just felt that she was too young, and for a man like him, marriage would be a big deal in the future, and he would definitely have to marry.
Liu Bang had a group of fellow countrymen, and Zhu Yuanzhang also had Huaixi brothers.
Zhao Tai said that he belonged to the clan, and his status seemed to be quite high, but in fact, he had no really close people around him, no relatives or villagers, and he was a rootless duckweed in this world.
In this case, if Zhao Tai wants to conquer the world, he needs to marry his subordinates to gain their loyalty, or choose a wife with a background and a family member to support him in conquering the world.
Of course, this may lead to the issue of the exclusive power of relatives, but that is an issue that needs to be considered after taking over the world.
The most urgent task now is to conquer the world, and we cannot stop eating because of choking.
Zhao Tai was full of blood, so he naturally had needs in that area. He was already ready for a marriage, but his subordinates were very pushy, and there was no one he wanted to win over through marriage.
After Zhao Tai waited for Sun Qiong to leave, he focused on his career and worked until midnight before falling asleep.
At night, Zhao Tai had a dream and saw a pair of long legs. In the morning he changed into a pair of pants and called Hu Zhen to report to him.
Zhao Tai ordered Hu Zhen to sell Songhe grain, liquid, and soap in Chuzhou.
These two things are good things, but businessmen in Chuzhou rarely take action.
The alcohol content of Songhe Liangye is too high. For Song people who are accustomed to drinking low-quality yellow rice wine and rice wine, this wine is too spicy and not smooth to drink.
Therefore, when Qian Yifeng sold this wine in a wine shop, the customers just tasted it for freshness, and the sales volume was not very good.
As for soap, its sales are better than distilled liquor because it is really easy to use.
Zhao Tai's first customers were the girls in Manchun Building. With soap, they could wash clothes much easier than before. Plus, they were rich, so they each bought one or two yuan to show their respect for Zhao Tai. Young Master’s support.
However, although this soap is easy to use, if one person buys one, it can last for more than a month. The interval between repurchases is long, and it takes time for word-of-mouth to spread, so businessmen dare not rush to sell it.
When Hu Zhen came over early in the morning, Zhao Tai was eating breakfast, so she invited him to eat with him and asked casually: "How are the sales going?"
Hu Zhen put down the porridge bowl and reported to Zhao Tai, "Sir, my own wine shop has only ordered 300 jars of this wine, and the soap has been sold for 5,000 yuan."
Chuzhou City is so big and can sell so many, which is actually quite successful.
Zhao Tai frowned when he heard this, because he brought three thousand jars of wine and one hundred thousand yuan of soap.
Zhao Tai has already spent all the money in his hands to purchase raw materials and expand production. If the batch of goods he brought cannot be shipped out as soon as possible and the funds are withdrawn, Zhao Tai's factory will stop production because it cannot pay wages.
There was only so much population in Chuzhou City. Zhao Tai did not expect the Chuzhou people to digest all his goods. He hoped that the merchants from the north and south who gathered in Chuzhou could purchase in large quantities.
Zhao Tai asked: "Didn't the foreign merchants make purchases?"
Hu Zhen said: "There is a purchase, and they know that the stuff is good, but it is new stuff after all, so the purchase amount is very small, and they don't dare to make a move rashly."
Zhao Tai stood up after hearing the words, paced around the room, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "I will write a letter, and you will send someone to take it to Lin'an for me. Also prepare a boat, I want to go to Yangzhou."
Although urbanization in the Southern Song Dynasty was higher than that in previous dynasties, Chuzhou certainly could not digest so many goods.
Zhao Tai decided to try his luck in Yangzhou. There were many merchants there and the sales network of salt merchants spread throughout the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Tai wanted to see if he could find a salt merchant and borrow their sales channels to sell his goods throughout the Southern Song Dynasty.
Now for Zhao Tai, it is easier to produce goods, but more difficult to sell them.
After all, he had no connections or stores in various cities in the Southern Song Dynasty. If he wanted to sell his goods, he still had to find someone to cooperate.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tai suddenly had an idea and asked: "Wang Hui and Liu Boxian, how are they doing recently?"
Hu Zhendao: "Thanks to them for taking care of our business in Chuzhou, the two of them got the benefits. It can be considered that they did their best and solved a lot of troubles for their humble positions!"
Zhao Tai nodded when he heard this, "You send someone to invite them, and just say that I have something to discuss with them."
Hu Zhen asked: "Sir, can you Manchunlou tonight?"
Zhao Tai nodded slightly, "Okay!"
It was night, Zhao Tai took a carriage, entered Manchun Tower directly, and came to the private room at the back.
Hu Zhen opened the door. Liu Boxian and Wang Hui, who arrived first, immediately stood up and saluted, "Master!"
Zhao Tai also bowed slightly, "Both brothers came early! I kept you waiting for a long time!"
Now Zhao Tai is in a high position, but he is very polite to the two of them and very humble as a whole.
Both of them now knew Zhao Tai's identity. Seeing Zhao Tai being so polite, they quickly said: "We have just arrived too!"
Zhao Tai sat down at the main seat and invited the two of them to sit down as well. They exchanged greetings with each other and drank a few glasses of wine. Wang Hui said, "I heard from shopkeeper Hu that the young master has something to discuss with us!"
Liu Boxian said: "Young master, if there is any use for me, just give me your orders!"
Zhao Tai put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "I do have something to discuss with you! I recently produced a batch of goods and wanted to sell them in the Song Dynasty. You also know that I have many things to do. I don't have the time and energy to sell the goods myself. It is impossible to sell them. All the money from production to sales has been made. I invite you here to ask if you are interested in making money!"
Wang Hui and Liu Boxian looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
When Zhao Tai wanted to invest in Manchun Tower and share the profits with Wang Hui, Wang Hui refused and chose to collect rent conservatively.
Now watching Manchunlou earn money every day, Wang Hui feels regretful.
In the past six months, in addition to Manchun Tower, Zhao Tai has also opened restaurants, inns, and theaters in Chuzhou, and almost all of them are very profitable.
Especially that theater, which was almost full every day some time ago. The guests were so happy that they even threw money directly on the stage, which shocked the two of them.
These successful cases allowed the two of them to always believe in Mr. Zhao's ability to make money.
Now Mr. Zhao invites them to come over and bring them to make money. There is no reason for the two of them not to agree.
At that moment, Liu Boxian filled Zhao Tai's glass of wine, and the two of them immediately toasted: "Young master wants to make us rich, how can we not be unwilling?"
Seeing the two of them and not asking what was going on, Zhao Tai could only smile and said: "I'm bringing a batch of goods this time, you should know!"
Both of them nodded, and Zhao Tai immediately said: "I want you two to be the agents of Cathay Trading Company in Chuzhou. From now on, the goods produced by our Cathay Trading Company will be given to you two at preferential prices. Chuzhou After I give you the agency right, Cathay Trading Company will no longer ship goods to any Chuzhou merchants, they will have to go through you to get the goods!"
