Liu Zhongshun was deeply moved.
Although he was told to keep a low profile, shouldn't he still be allowed to do what he wants?
He has someone to protect him and now he has money. If such a big thing happens to him, he will not hesitate to give it a chance to transform himself.
No matter how rich he was before, he was just a wealthy man, but now he has the ability to stir up the market.
It may even influence the imperial court in the future, which is an opportunity that countless businessmen dream of.
Thinking about how he was originally a small guard at the city gate, and then fell into beggarhood, and now he has become a well-known wealthy businessman, he will make further progress in the future.
Liu Zhongshun felt both nervous and ecstatic. He bowed slowly to Fang Zhengyi and said, "Master, I will live up to your trust and complete the establishment of the exchange as soon as possible!"
Fang Zheng raised his right hand and said, "Get up. Things need to be done slowly. More haste makes waste. Right now you have other problems to solve."
Liu Zhongshun stood up: "What's the problem?"
"The house is selling so well that it has attracted so many officials from the imperial court to invest. As you are from Taoyuan County, the officials in the imperial court are afraid of my identity and will not have any thoughts about you, but the public opinion will discredit you, so if you alarm the imperial court, you will be in trouble."
"Being wealthy and high-profile always makes people jealous. So you should build momentum for yourself as soon as possible and do more good deeds."
Liu Zhongshun licked his dry lips and said, "Master, I have some ideas about this as well. I want to support some charity organizations in the future."
Fang Zhengyi shook his head slightly: "Charity hall? This is too old-fashioned. Your thinking is wrong."
"Then what should I do?" Liu Zhongshun asked hurriedly.
"The most popular university in Beijing right now, and the one that the people and the court are paying the most attention to, is Dongjiao University. You should donate to Dongjiao University and set up a scholarship in your name to reward those students who study hard."
"In this way, the people will see that you are enthusiastic about education and actively subsidize poor students. This is called not forgetting your roots. The court will also see that you are righteous and know how to educate people despite being rich and noble. The image of a Confucian businessman is always lovable."
Liu Zhongshun's eyes turned and he said happily, "Great! This is a good idea! The master is really smart!"
Fang Zheng said, "That's not enough. You also need to go out and teach others as an entrepreneurial mentor. In fact, you have a lot of advantages. You were originally a beggar, but now you have become a wealthy man who sells houses. This is simply a legend."
"I think there will be a lot of people coming to listen to my lectures. When you are giving lectures, you should always remember the support of the court. Without me, Dajing, you, Liu Zhongshun, would not be where you are today. So after you become rich, don't forget to pay taxes vigorously to express your gratitude to the court for giving you a new life. Finally, add some business tips, and that's all."
Fang Zheng paused for a moment and continued, "This way, your reputation will be firmly established. You see, your name is very auspicious, loyal and obedient. The court will be happy to see you."
"If this is the case and the newspapers give it a push, all the shameless people will have to call you daddy in the future!"
Liu Zhongshun laughed foolishly and touched his cheek: "No way?"
Fang Zheng sneered, "Of course not. Some people only have positions but no brains. If you lose power, they will step on you and call you a black-hearted businessman. If you gain power, they will rush to call you their dear daddy."
"But you have to be careful when doing things. You have to manage your image and build your personality. When you appear in the outside world in the future, it's best to wear an ordinary cloth shirt and black cloth shoes. Don't wear too luxurious clothes. Always keep a low profile. When we eat meat, we must not smack our lips! If the poor ghosts see it, what will happen?!"
"It's not enough for you to do it yourself. You have a wife, concubines, and children now, right? They have to behave themselves too. If anyone shows off outside, you can slap them in the face!"
Liu Zhongshun agreed: "Master, don't worry, I will never have any problems in this regard. When I pretended to be a beggar..."
"Hmm~?"
"When I became a beggar, I got some money, but I never dared to show off. As the saying goes, you can make a fortune in silence, but you can't make a fortune by showing off your wealth."
Fang Zhengyi nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, it's enough if you do all these. But I suggest that in addition to these means, you should also engage in some other serious industries, such as... opening a school."
Liu Zhongshun asked: "Are you going to open a school similar to Dongjiao University?"
"Yes... and no!" Fang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Part of Dongjiao University focuses on theoretical research. The school you opened can be called a vocational school."
“What is a high-level job?”
"Higher vocational schools are designed for occupations. Graduates can find jobs immediately without having to delve into theories. This will also help them to face the market in the future. Now that railways are being built, a large number of talents are urgently needed. This is a good business now. It can build a good reputation and adapt to market development."
"If you succeed, I can help you arrange the railway connection."
Liu Zhongshun was puzzled: "Master, there doesn't seem to be much difference between this and Dongjiao University. Why can't it be called a university? This way, it will be easier to recruit students. Now that it has changed its name, it will take time and effort to explain it to the people."
Fang Zheng touched his chin and smiled without saying anything.
University? Dongjiao University is now gaining popularity and is very popular.
When students from Dongjiao University walk on the street, they all want to stick their chests up to the sky.
They are all proud to be students of Dongjiao University.
Even some students who want to find a job outside are unwilling to go unless they want to be a small leader.
The style is no different from that of a scholar wearing a long gown.
It has only been a short time, and a group of poor kids have set their sights so high.
There are so many universities, and these people have all put on long gowns. What will they do if they can’t take them off in the future?
Maybe he will even complain that he has wasted his time in college.
If this kind of trend spreads, it will be a complete moral corruption!
I, Fang Zhengyi, can't stand people who are not down-to-earth!
"You don't need to ask too much about this matter. Just do it if you want to." Fang Zhengyi sighed, "We are lucky to have caught up with a good time. Sometimes when I open the newspaper, I see business opportunities everywhere. The whole page is filled with two words: make a fortune!"
“I don’t know how many people will make a name for themselves through this opportunity, but all the people will benefit from it. However, if we want to move things forward quickly, it’s not enough to rely on the imperial court alone, we also need the power of the market.”
"Work hard, and things will get better and better."
At this moment, the sky began to darken and the people in the queue had begun to disperse.
It’s not appropriate to take people to see the house at this time, after all, there is not enough light during the day to show off the excellent decoration of the house.
Fang Zheng was staring at the sales office quietly, when he suddenly saw three old men with rosy faces walking out of the sales office.
He raised his hand and asked loudly, "Mr. Li? Is it you? Are all the people from the cabinet here too?"
Hearing the familiar voice, the three of them stood still and looked at Fang Zhengyi.
Why did this guy come here? If he knew that we came all the way to buy a house in Taoyuan County, I wonder how proud he would be?
"Go! Go! He can't see clearly." Li Yansong said anxiously.
The next moment, the three of them simultaneously retracted their necks, pulled up their collars to cover half of their faces, and quickly fled the scene.
