Wang Zhigui had no doubt at all about Zhuang Zhou's strength.

"We did get some new stuff this time, but I have one more thing I'd like to trouble you with, Brother Wang."

The king is so precious!

"No trouble! Just tell me, Brother Zhuang."

"I want you to help me find some carpenters so I can make some shelves for my shop."

Wang Zhigui pondered for a moment:

"Brother Zhuang, are you ready to start business?"

"Yes, I want to open the store first."

Wang Zhigui didn't find it strange, and just asked:

"Have you thought of a name for your shop?"

Zhuang Zhou hummed and said:

"I've decided, let's call it 'Zhuang's Grocery Store'!"

Wang Zhigui pondered for a moment, the name was quite ordinary.

Just then, Zhuang Zhou said:

"By the way, Brother Wang, there's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with."

"Brother Zhuang, please tell us who we are talking to."

Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and said:

"I'd like to trouble you to help me collect some ceramics and some calligraphy and paintings. Of course, those by famous artists would be best."

Wang Zhigui was puzzled.

"Brother Zhuang, what is this for?"

"Some of my business friends like these things from Datang, so I thought I'd get some for them."

"I see!"

Wang Zhigui patted his chest and said with a hearty laugh:

"Don't worry! Leave it to me."

…

Wang Zhigui was also a man of action, and immediately arranged for Ma San to find a carpenter.

Next, Zhuang Zhou personally guided the carpenters to start working.

Mainly making counters and shelves.

In fact, regarding the shelves, Zhuang Zhou thought that he could bring them into modern society in the future.

Just like the ones in supermarkets, you can use them directly after assembling them.

Now the shop is run by Ma San and the carpenters.

Zhuang Zhou was free now.

After thinking about it, it’s okay to stay here, so I might as well go back first!

But we need to find someone trustworthy to deal with things here.

Now is a good time to test Ma San's character.

But how to try?

Of course it’s money!

"Ma San, you, Shopkeeper Wang, are no longer a waiter, right?"

"Yes."

"How much salary do you get a month?"

Ma San was stunned. He didn't expect to be asked this question.

"What? Is it inconvenient to tell me?"

"No, my salary is two hundred coins a month."

Zhuang Zhou remembered that Liu Yunhe said that one penny in this era was roughly equivalent to 4.5 yuan in later generations.

It would be about 900 yuan in later generations.

That seems very low!

Zhuang Zhou remembered that when he first met Ma San, he gave him a tip of twenty cents.

This is already one-tenth of his salary.

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Zhou asked tentatively:

"Ma San, I'm getting ready to open my grocery store. Do you know any accountants?"

“Yes!”

Ma San said without thinking.

"Oh, well, keep an eye out for me. I'm looking to hire an accountant. I'd like to offer... well, four hundred coins a month!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma San's expression changed instantly.

Immediately put on a flattering smile:

"Master Zhuang, I...I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it."

"What? Just say it."

Ma San hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and said loudly:

"Boss, I want to work with you. Please take me in."

Good job!

This action scared Zhuang Zhou.

Ma San's face was still full of excitement:

"Master, I have lived in poverty since I was a child, and I have always wanted to earn more money to support my mother. As long as you are willing to take me in, I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly, no matter what."

This is the beginning of showing determination!

But Ma San is Wang Zhigui's man, and he is poaching people so blatantly.

I’m afraid it’s not good, right?!

"Ma San, I think you're a nice person, but you work for Shopkeeper Wang..."

"Don't worry, boss. Shopkeeper Wang only treats me as a waiter. It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not."

That's the truth.

Zhuang Zhou also discovered in Wangji Trading Company that Ma San was just a waiter serving tea and water in the shop.

There is absolutely no sense of existence.

As long as I mention it to Wang Zhigui, I think he will give me this face.

"Okay, Ma San, I'll go talk to Shopkeeper Wang later. You'll just follow me from now on."

Ma Sanru was blessed by God and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"

"Okay, get up!"

"Yes. I will do my best in the future."

Zhuang Zhou hummed:

"For now, I'll temporarily give you a monthly salary of 400 wen. If you perform well, I'll give you a raise."

"salary?"

"It's just a salary."

The reason why his previous salary was doubled.

Firstly, the nature of the work has changed. After all, accounting is still a technical job.

Secondly, this business has just started, and many things need to be started from scratch.

All things are difficult at the beginning!

It will get better slowly.

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Zhou continued:

"I have to go on a long trip to buy some goods in the next two days. How about you help me look after the shop and supervise the carpenters' work?"

Ma San immediately stated:

"Don't worry, boss. I will definitely take good care of the store."

Zhuang Zhou was also wondering whether Ma San could do the job while he was away for two days.

It's a short trial period.

"Okay! You just do your work here first, I'll go talk to Shopkeeper Wang."
