Chen Laowu asked casually in a relaxed tone.
Xianjin smiled and said, "I have no idea what you are asking. I really can't answer it. How we purchase goods, how we run our store, and how we find ways to make a profit are all thanks to our manager Dong."
Xianjin watched the changes in Chen Laowu's expression.
Chen Laowu's expression did not change. He still looked cheerful and cheerful. He turned around and looked around as if looking for someone.
"Is our manager Dong absent from work today?"
Xianjin handed over a cup of warm tea and said with a smile, "I accompanied our Third Master back to Xuancheng Prefecture. If you want to come, let us know in advance. Third Master will bring Manager Dong to pay you respects. Manager Dong is an old fox in our shop. He will definitely tell you everything he knows. I am just a little girl. What do I know?"
Others cannot use gender as an excuse, but you can use it as an excuse to show weakness and get away with it.
This is not called double standards, this is called strategy.
Chen Laowu was smiling all the time. After listening to Xianjin's words, he did not comment, but changed the subject and looked at the stacked chests, "I heard that it was also made into a six-foot-long Xuan? Can you bring it to Grandpa Wu to see its quality?"
Xianjin hurriedly said with a look of regret, "If you had come a month earlier, it would have been great! We have already made two six-zhang-long swords, and sent them all to the residence of Prefect Xiong in Xuancheng Prefecture last month. How dare we, as merchants, hoard such a good thing? We don't know that it is a crime to possess a treasure!"
Chen Laowu lowered his head and drank a sip of warm tea, then smiled and said, "In our Jingxian shop, there is only one Li Sanshun who can steer the Six-foot Xuan, and we need at least fifteen masters with strong skills. Zhou Ergou in our shop is still a laborer, and the other Zheng brothers..."
Chen Laowu smiled and shook his head, "You are destined to be a clerk, you will never achieve anything great."
Chen Laowu put the tea he had just taken a sip of on the table and asked, "Are the rest of the laborers from other workshops in Jing County?"
Xian Jinxiang didn't expect Chen Laowu to ask this, and was stunned for a moment, "I... I really don't know how we did the Liuzhang Xuan, it was all thanks to Master Li Sanshun."
He said with a silly smile, "You know me, I have little experience, and I am a woman, I know nothing about paper making. Even if I follow Master Li closely, I may not understand it."
Chen Laowu smiled as if he understood, "Then, Manager He, do you mind if I chat with Master Li?"
Xianjin nodded quickly, turned around and blinked, and asked Suoer, "Go and ask Master Li Sanshun to come to the store."
Suo'er muttered, "Didn't you give Master Li a holiday? He said he had worked hard on the Liuzhang Xuan..."
Xianjin was anxious, his face turned red, "Then let him come to the store right now! Why should he take a day off when Fifth Grandpa is here!"
"Hey, hey, hey - don't!" Chen Laowu hurriedly stopped her. With a smile, the flesh on his round face piled up under his cheekbones. "Don't, don't, don't, it's just a casual chat. You little girl is used to making a fuss..."
Chen Laowu seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't help but laugh even more happily, "Look at you, you have Manager Dong in charge of the store, and Master Li in charge of the workshop, what have you done with this monthly salary of twenty taels of silver?"
Xianjin also laughed and said happily, "Being a lazy good-for-nothing!"
This answer was beyond Chen Laowu's expectations.
Chen Laowu's smile was finally choked.
Xianjin smiled to his eyes, "If Manager Dong is in charge, Master Li will definitely not accept it; if Master Li is in charge, Manager Dong will definitely not accept it; if Third Master is in charge..."
Forget it, having this thought is a sin.
Xian Jin stopped there, "So, after choosing and choosing, only a loser like me can be the most balanced."
Chen Laowu was almost convinced by this set of twisted logic. His smile faded a little. After a polite "hehehe", he turned around to take a closer look at the exhibits and stock in the store.
People, once they come, they have to eat before they leave. This is a false favor that has been passed down by the Chinese nation for thousands of years. Xianjin specially asked Zhang's mother to prepare a table for dinner. Since no one was eating with them, Xianjin used the eating skills that his nouveau riche father taught him.
He had a respectful smile on his face and was turning the table diligently with his hands.
The main point is that I turn the table when my superior serves food, and I don’t drink when my superior toasts me. My attitude is very good, but my ability is useless.
After Chen Laowu finished his meal, he waved goodbye to He Xianjin who was standing at the threshold of the store, and turned into the long alley.
The attendant followed closely behind him, lowering his head and walking quickly, "This He Xiaoniang's daughter has been in our Chen family for almost ten years, and I have never heard of her being anything remarkable...Now the rumor is spreading, and it seems that she is indeed a coward."
The smile on Chen Laowu's face faded a bit, but his expression remained calm. "What a loser! This girl is as slippery as a loach... Think about it yourself. We came all the way from Dingzhuang to Jingxian. In this morning, what have we found out?"
The attendant narrowed his eyes.
Hey!
I really didn’t get any answers!
I just remember the He family, their smiles were sincere, their attitudes were warm, and their manners were spot on!
Seeing that they were getting farther away from the old house, Chen Laowu gradually slowed down his pace. With his round face and wide eyebrows, he looked very friendly and approachable. "That girl has a plan..." He paused, "Let Lu'er squat outside Chen's store for the next two days and count! See what sells the most! See who goes there the most! After seeing what's sold, go to the store and pretend to be a buyer to find out the prices of all the goods, and pay special attention to asking about the account book!"
"Let's not ask Liu Zhang Xuan anymore?" The long-time attendant started thinking.
Chen Laowu glanced at his long-time attendant.
It's good to use your brain, but it's better not to use it first.
"Who among ordinary people has the courage to buy a six-zhang xuan? What's the use of buying a six-zhang xuan?!" Chen Laowu was very disappointed, "Be smart! Don't do stupid things in front of me!"
Even when he was scolding people, Chen Laowu always had a kind face and a benevolent look.
…
As soon as Chen Laowu left, Suo'er said to Xianjin, "Master Chen Wu originally came here to find out the truth. You pretend to be a hands-off boss. If the old lady hears about it, the credit will go to others, and the punishment will definitely be you..."
Xianjin was sorting out the old papers from last year. Hearing what Suo'er said, he laughed and said, "The turtle has meat in its belly. He came to inquire about our store's profits. What does that mean? It means that Madam Qu never told him the current business situation of the Jingxian store, so he tried to test me several times."
Xianjin rolled up a stack of papers gently but forcefully. "In the competition from within, showing weakness is more effective than showing strength. Let's make a good gesture. Even if Madam Qu comes, we will be right."
When dealing with external enemies, we must unite against them and be as ruthless, unrighteous and unreasonable as the autumn wind that scatters leaves.
When dealing with potential internal opponents, you must be on guard against them and make friends with them. You must not become hostile and make the chairman think that you are a thorn in the side and that you do not unite with your colleagues at all.
Wait a minute, the chairman gets angry and rewards you with a request to get up at 7:30 in the morning on your day off, take three subways, arrive at a desolate place in the countryside, and take sixty or seventy menopausal aunts to participate in the company's team building, and you even need to cook for yourself - let's see if you can cry.
