Chapter 7 You Can't Get Rich (Part 1)

"What a big order. If it were in a modern enterprise, the boss would definitely be smiling from ear to ear, and your red envelope would be huge." As soon as Wei Liaozi finished speaking, Zhou Chong sighed in his heart and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, you are really good. Lord Cao originally wanted to live with you, but he didn't expect that you didn't go and not say anything, but instead pushed so many pens to the Xianyang government for you."

Although Cao Bo's intention was sincere, he was no match for Wei Liao at all. He gave up his thoughts for a few words and had to retreat. Before leaving, Wei Liao lobbled Cao Bo again: "Isn't it a pity that sir to enter Baoshan and return empty-handed?"

Cao Bo deeply agreed and said, "Bo is willing to return with his husband. He did not expect that the husband had no intention of being an official, so Bo could only go back alone. It's a pity! It's a pity!"

Wei Liaozi smiled and said, "Your Madam is so serious. People who are in the mountains and fields do not know the way of officialdom. If you return with you, will you not be able to accomplish anything and have more than failures and only cause trouble for yourself. Your pens and papers in our store are of top quality. Why don't you buy some back? If you use all this pen and paper in Xianyang Mansion, will it be quick to do things?"

Cao Bo was a capable official. He immediately woke up and said with a high high, "Mr. Xie reminded me. The book is bulky and inconvenient to use, and the pen is always falling off. I wrote some documents. I worked with them more than the writing time. This is a good idea. The official booked 20,000 pens and 10,000 rolls of paper from the teacher."

Although Wei Liao was unwilling to go back with Cao Bo, Cao Bo's attitude was very sincere. Wei Liao wanted to help him, so that he could improve his administrative efficiency, improve his political achievements, and gain the appreciation of the King of Qin. The promotion of one level and two level was also a reward for him. Unexpectedly, he placed such a large order at once. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, it is difficult for our store to organize so many papers and pens for a while. Please come and pick it up in batches."

Cao Bo showed a smile on his lips, nodded repeatedly, and said, "It's right, it's right." He took out a golden cake and put it on the counter, held his fists and said, "This is a deposit. Sir, say goodbye, paper and pen will come to pick it up again."

Looking at Cao Bo's back, Wei Liao naturally understood what he meant. The reason why he placed such a large order was that he also agreed to take it in batches was to use this as an excuse to lobby Wei Liao and ask Wei Liao to go back and be an official with him.

Wei Liao smiled and said, "Brother Zhou made fun of him. Liaozi just gave Lord Cao an idea to do things faster. Unexpectedly, he wanted so much, so he asked Brother Zhou to discuss it."

With their current production capacity, it is very tight to supply a Sibaozhai. How could Cao Bo have time to produce this order?

There are two characteristics when doing business with the government. One is that everything is decided by the government. You only have to do what you do and have no choice. The other is that there is too much oil and water, so the reason is a bit difficult to say. That is because the purchasing officials get the benefits of red envelopes and the price is high. In today's terms, it is the power of "kickbacks". It is precisely because of the existence of kickbacks that many purchasing personnel are not expensive or cheap to buy, because the more expensive they are, the more profitable they will be.

This is a dirty trading principle that has never been easy forever. Zhou Chong would not understand the difficulties. He scratched his head and said, "Brother Wei, you have a good idea, but it's a bit difficult to achieve."

Wang Ao tactfully accused Nai Shi of his fault and said, "Book is easy to deal with, and you can make it as long as you increase your manpower. But this money is a problem. Where can I find the wolf and rabbit? The wild wolf and rabbit in Huashan are almost all of us. If we continue to fight, it will be extinct and we can't fight again."

"I didn't expect that you still have a little environmental awareness." Zhou Chong sighed in his heart and said, "This is not difficult. You can add sheep hair to it. If there are no wolf hairs and rabbit hairs, you can use all sheep hairs."

Wei Liao disagreed and said, "Isn't this a fraud? What a gentleman doesn't do."

"If you don't come up with this idea, this will not happen." Zhou Chong complained to Wei Liao in his heart and said, "Brother Wei doesn't know that the pen we make now is a method of using both hairs and hairs. It is the same as using wolfs, rabbits, hairs and sheeps, and it does not hinder writing."

The brush we use to practice brush calligraphy, and the word "wolf hair" is written on it. It is just used by merchants to advertise. The real selling of dog meat with sheep's head. Wolves are almost extinct. Where did the wolf hair brush come from? Even if there is one, it is impossible to buy it for a few cents or a few yuan. The material is sheep hair.

Wang Ao nodded and said, "That's easy."

Wei Liao said with confidence: "It's still Brother Zhou who is smart, I'm looking for the right person for you." He was already joking.

The three of them were discussing, and a loud voice came from outside: "Are Mr. Liaozi here?" It's not someone else, it's Cao Bo.

Wei Liao's eyes turned and said, "Today it is the shopkeeper Zhou Da. I, the second shopkeeper, are free for one day today." Without waiting for Zhou Chong to speak, he stood up and left, opened the back door, and strode away.

"You are going to cause trouble, and you will really give up when you run away." Zhou Chong shook his head secretly and had to come out to deal with it. He came to the cabinet and clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that it is Lord Cao, who has been waiting for a long time. Zhou Chong apologized here."

Cao Bo was wearing plain clothes, holding a pot of wine in his left hand and a pack of things in his right hand, and said with his fist: "It turns out that he is the shopkeeper Zhou Da. I'm lucky to know. Cao Bo has met shopkeeper Zhou Da."

Zhou Chong returned the tribute and said, "I dare not be the ritual of the great master. Lord Cao, please come in and invite him." He turned sideways.

Cao Bo was not polite, and followed Zhou Chong to the back hall, put the wine on the table, then put the package in his right hand down, opened it, and it turned out to be all things to accompany the wine, and said, "The four treasures in your store are extraordinary, and the shopkeeper is even more amazing. I talked with Mr. Liaozi a few days ago, and Cao Bo benefited a lot and was about to ask for advice. Cao Bo prepared some wine and wanted to have a brief talk with Mr. Liaozi and the shopkeeper Zhou Da, and asked the shopkeeper Zhou Da to forgive Cao Bo's presumptuous crime."

"What a great official, you have to bring your own water and wine when you come to the door to talk. Where can you find such a good official in modern society? Officials in modern society eat yours, drink yours, and scold you. Before leaving, they wiped their mouths: bring gifts, there is too much difference between ancient and modern times." Zhou Chong sighed in his heart and said, "Sir, it is better to obey your orders than to be respectful." In this case, it is impossible to push away, and it is better to receive it.

Cao Bo sat down and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, please."

"Where is the one who treats oil on my feet, the person who puts oil on his feet is the main master." Zhou Chong was as clear as a mirror and sat down.

Cao Bo poured wine for Zhou Chong, then poured it for himself, and said, "Why did Mr. Liaozi not see him?"
