Chapter 9 Pu's Primary School
Gongsun Huaili went to the south of the Yangtze River this time, not only for the purpose of inspection, but also for one more thing.
Pei Wanqing rushed to take over the shipping company in order to curry favor with Gongsun Huaili.
She didn't know how to do business, so she just sent the ship away at the beginning.
Gongsun Huaili came here to discuss this matter.
But who knew that on the way to the boat, there was an ambush to take his life...
…
Nangong Hua went to Wazi to look for someone early in the morning.
Yesterday, Pu Qiongzhi briefly told him a few of the Pu family's rules for employing people:
First, you must have strong skills and a willingness to actively improve yourself;
Second, the remuneration is the most generous, and there are bonuses for those who do well;
Third, the Pu family can provide preferential treatment to the whole family from birth to old age, sickness to death, but you have to put in 100% effort in doing things.
A big reward always attracts brave men, especially one who has no worries!
With Pu Qiongzhi's order, Nangong Hua naturally picked out the better ones from the good ones.
After Pu Qiongzhi saw Zhai Lou and his party off, she went to the primary school under Pu's Trading Company.
Although it is called a primary school, most of the people here are trained by the Pu family to do business.
There are clerks, shopkeepers, accountants, warehousemen, craftsmen, artisans, brokers...most of them are shopkeepers and accountants, who are later responsible for the entire shop.
Nine out of ten people who come here have a bond or have someone in their family working for Pu's. Unlike temporary workers outside, they will be treated better when they are transferred to the shop.
Pu Qiongzhi rarely comes here, and usually asks people to select and employ people.
However, Nangong Hua's words last time gave her new ideas.
Since it is a problem for people in Beijing to kill time in their spare time, why doesn't she open a place for them to have fun?
Ordinary Qinlou and Chuguan are too immoral, and the Waizi Opera House is not easy to develop...
What other entertainment methods are decent and respectable?
Pu Qiongzhi thought that apart from what her husband was interested in, there were also polo, chuiwan and cuju!
These are some new and fashionable things, but there is no market for them in Beijing for the time being.
Everyone was in their own village, gathering together for fun, which was less interesting.
If we can take over such a venue, the streets will surely be deserted!
However, there are also troubles in setting up such a place.
First, the place must be big enough, and second, there must be people to protect it; we need to bring in or raise a group of good horses and teach everyone how to play;
You earn entrance fees, so the game has to be exciting and entertaining. Beyond that, you also have to consider how to earn other money, and what the gameplay is...
The most important thing is that all of the above must be carried out secretly by someone in the shortest possible time.
Thinking back to the previous business she had done, as long as her husband knew about it, Pei Wanqing would always get the news.
Pu Qiongzhi felt that she must not let anyone know this time and attack them by surprise!
However, where this money comes from is also a problem.
Besides, Pu Qiongzhi had a few people selected to go to the capital to fill the vacancies. But now, she was short of staff in her shop, restaurant, farm, and mansion.
Pu Qiongzhi planned to take them one by one.
For now, we should select the right shopkeeper first, and then we can fill in the rest of the people slowly.
When it comes to doing business, the most important thing is dealing with people, and there are all kinds of people.
With the shopkeeper keeping an eye on things, the shop assistants could be led by him. Whether they were temporary employees or permanent employees, at least there was a leader who would not lose his composure over the slightest problem.
"Madam, who are you looking for?" The guard at the door saw someone coming and stepped forward to ask.
Pu Qiongzhi paused and said, "Ask Uncle Ji to come see me."
Hearing her tone, the guard took a closer look and realized that the person in front of him was the young master.
"I'll be there right away, please wait here first, young master." There was a bit of panic on his face, as if he felt that he was not respectful enough.
Pu Qiongzhi saw that his reaction was not slow, so she didn't say much.
Privately, she doesn't care about these distinctions.
She is not the kind of person who cares about face or shows off. Apart from the money involved, everything else is trivial.
As long as it can make her money, she would even accept it and endure it.
In her eyes, no one is as effective as the God of Wealth.
She sat in the main seat and drank tea.
Soon, a dark-faced old man trotted out from inside.
Although he was gray-haired, his hair was neatly groomed and tied up meticulously. His clothes were simple but clean, his shoes and socks were spotless, and there was a faint fragrance when he walked. He was a particular person who often bathed and used incense.
"Oh! Young Master! It's been a long time since I last saw you! What brings you here?"
Pu Qiongzhi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Uncle Ji, you are still so energetic! I missed you and came to see you!"
Manager Ji is the elder of their family. The cloth shop and dyeing workshop under the Pu family were all built by him.
If Pu Rongda is the helmsman, then Ji Deben is the main sailor, who is equally important.
Nowadays, Ji Deben can enjoy his old age just by collecting dividends, but he can't sit still, so he trains new people.
The old man's wife died early, and he never remarried and had no children or grandchildren.
Last year, I adopted Zhai Lou as my adopted son, so I have someone to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life.
"Oh my! Young Master, you mustn't learn such slick talk from the old master! Zhai Lou was saying yesterday that you were too busy to even take a break!"
Ji Deben was a shrewd man at his age, so he didn't believe the polite words she said.
"That brat ran off early in the morning. No one knows where he went. He said he wouldn't be back for ten days or half a month!"
Pu Qiongzhi chuckled, "I asked him to go shopping, so he went a little further this time!"
"He's not in Lin'an City, isn't it enough for me to accompany you?"
"I don't believe it! Are you here to pick someone? Is the capital doing well? I often hear your old boss bragging about it, he's very cool!" Ji Deben joked with a smile.
Pu Qiongzhi smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you! By the end of the year, I'll take you and my father to Beijing to have a look!"
"Really? Oh! We are two old bones and you have tortured us so much!" Although Ji Deben said this, his face was full of wrinkles with a smile.
"Come on, let me show you these newly trained little rascals!"
Pu Qiongzhi followed behind him and couldn't help but chuckle.
This name has really not changed from the past to the present.
The environment of Pu's primary school is not very good, and it even looks a bit shabby from the outside.
However, because of the Pu family’s sign, no one looks down on this place.
Everyone knew that anyone who could make it out of this place would be the future head of the Pu family. While it might not be a prestigious position, at least the family would have enough to eat and drink.
For ordinary people, having a job that can support their family is already very good. What's more, the shopkeepers of Pu's are all very powerful! The old boss expanded the territory, and the young boss now is rising steadily!
Even if you don’t have the ability to study or take exams, you can still earn money and live a good life!
