"What is the most important thing in business? This shopkeeper Liu should know, right?" Zhao Qi looked at shopkeeper Liu with a smile.

"Of course it's the word "fame!" Manager Liu spoke quickly.

"Yes, the most important thing in business is to do business. If you have a good reputation for honest business, your business will naturally become more and more prosperous. If you are cunning and mean, your business will naturally become worse and worse. Donating money to fight against the enemy may cause great losses, but we will definitely gain an unparalleled reputation for patriotism. Once this reputation spreads all over the country, there will be people who will be enthusiastic about whatever we want to do in Xiaolongwan Harbor. Liu Yuanwai, this is not only a national crisis, but also an opportunity. We will not make money from the national crisis, but taking advantage of the opportunity to donate money to kill the enemy in the War of Resistance Against Japan to promote our Xiaolongwan Bay is not a bad thing. This is a win-win situation. I even thought that if the donation was enough, your official waiter's false title might be replaced by an eighth-rank and ninth-rank real title..."

"Eighth grade...Nineth grade..." The bait thrown by Zhao Qi was so tempting. Manager Liu was shaking his mouth and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"This is not my random speculation. If you want to be an official, in addition to studying for the scientific examination, you can also have the system and cuteness. However, no matter which of these two things, Liu Yuanwai is not related, it is even more impossible for you to be an imperial examination. It's not that I am laughing at you. If you study for another twenty years, you won't be able to pass the imperial examination..." Zhao Qi joked.

"Why do you need Dalang to remind me? With my ability, I'm afraid it's impossible for the next life. Liu passed the exam at the age of 22. My father saw that I was indeed not a good student, so he handed over my huge family business to me." Manager Liu smiled with a flushed smile.

"But this time I think it's an excellent opportunity. Maybe if you do this well, Liu Yuanwai will be able to enter the official career in one step, and Liu will become a family of officials at this point!"

“That’s great…that’s great…”

Under Zhao Qi's guidance and bewitching, Manager Liu was excited to walk around in front of the dock, and his excited soul was a little out of control.

During the Song Dynasty, scholars were treated the most favorable, but scholars were also different. Scholars and scholars were also scholars, but they were only at the lowest level. They may have a little bit of honor among the people, but in the eyes of real nobles and gentry, they were just a poor citizen.

The magistrate who destroyed the family and the county magistrate who destroyed the family will have a lot of real power only when he becomes an official. Those wealthy merchants who are rich and wealthy are just as humble as a dog in the face of power.

As a business family, Liu Zhanggui has a deeper understanding.

Even some of the poor-ranked officials in the government office can be destroyed if they offend them.

So at any time, money is not as important as power.

If the Liu family really takes advantage of this opportunity to get rewards from the court, get a real title of eighth-rank ninth-rank, and then a conspicuous void official, it is also a real official. The Liu family will obtain a powerful amulet from then on, and will be able to take over all the officials and businessmen in the future. At least they can call on many small officials from some port yamen in Yanggong Town to drink.

Manager Liu left in a hurry. He felt his head squirting blood all the way, and his soul was as if he was about to ascend from his body.

He was in a hurry to go back and discuss donations with his family.

Although Zhao Qi was ambiguous, given the current situation and donations, the possibility of success is still very high.

What's more, Zhao Qi has already said this. If he doesn't donate a sum of money to express it, there may be cracks in his future cooperative relationship.

What's more, since it's something that the family pleases, then the family members should pay the money together.

It is better to have fun than to be alone. Donating together is the happiest money.

The most important thing is that behind Zhao Qi is Duke Chongguo Wu Qian.

Although Manager Liu has not yet known why Zhao Qi suddenly got involved in Wu Qian's relationship, he is well aware of the official situation and said that Zhao Qi's donation to Ezhou where Wu Qian is stationed is actually creating a stronger political and business relationship.

Once Wu Qian makes great contributions to the Mongolian army this time, the court will definitely promote and use it. Wu Qian will definitely repay his kindness in the future and thank Zhao Qi. At that time, only Zhao Qi will need one word. It is not a big deal to follow the donors to get an official position of eighth and ninth rank.

So, as Zhao Qi said, the Mongolian invasion is not only a national crisis, but also an opportunity to take advantage of and win-win results.

After Manager Liu left, Zhao Qi and Yang Dayuan returned to the sales office and discussed it for a while, then called Ermao Ermazi and Yang Dahu, found a quiet house to start the discussion.

At this donation meeting of internal shareholders, Zhao Qi carefully analyzed the current international and domestic situation, and then repeatedly mentioned the determination and necessity of fighting against the Mongols. In particular, he seriously speculated that if the imperial court could not resist the Mongol army, once the Ezhou defense line was lost, Jiangnan would suffer from creatures and a large number of people would be massacred. At present, this happy life of making money, eating meat and drinking every day will be gone forever. It is better to become a slave to the Mongols, and losing your life is the most common thing.

During Zhao Qi's speculation and speech, Ermao Ermazi and others were so excited that they heard it that they were gritting their teeth and blood. Even Yang Dahu, who didn't like to talk on weekdays, patted his chest and expressed his full support for Zhao Qi's decision to donate. He must donate more money to the front line to help fight the Mongolian devils.

After we have a consensus on donating, we will naturally start discussing how much to donate.

After all, the development of Xiaolong Bay Harbor has just started on track, and the money is indeed quite high at the moment, but only about 700,000 pounds can be paid out. Moreover, everyone is busy for the development of Xiaolong Bay Harbor for several months, working hard and tiring every day like a dog. Therefore, although they say it readily, it is naturally very distressing to really donate it. After all, the situation at their own homes is not good, and the money has been stored in the tutorial warehouse. For all shareholders, they are just numbers in the account book. Until now, except for the three accountants, all shareholders have not yet touched the money of their own.

"Xiaoqi, there are about 700,000 pounds of dividends now. How much do we have to donate to the right one?" Yang Dahu looked at Zhao Qi with a gaze.

Donating is fine, but it is completely unnecessary to donate yourself into a pauper. Yang Dayuan, Ermazi and Ermao also looked at Zhao Qi with the same eyes.

Zhao Qi is their backbone and lighthouse, guiding them to make money and make money.

"Don't worry, you will definitely not donate them all, but since I sincerely want to make some contributions to defending the country, I can't donate too little. I originally planned to donate half of myself after the dividends. If all 700,000 guan was lost, I could almost donate 100,000 guan. Uncle Dayuan, please do your own how much you donate. I donate this. Hundreds and thousands of guans are fine, but you'd better go back and discuss with your family first..."

"What are you discussing? They are all women with long hair and short knowledge. Anyway, they don't know how much money our harbor has made, but it's a bad thing to say!" When Yang Dahu thought of his wife who loves money like life, he felt that it would be better to have less than more things.

"Brother Thirteen is right. Just donate this matter to a few of us men. Don't let them know, otherwise they will be noisy and uneasy!" Yang Dayuan also nodded in agreement.

In the past, my family had no money and I saved money so much that I couldn't save a lot of money in a year. Therefore, the couple was very careful when they lived a life, and they didn't have any idea of ​​being too ambitious.

But it’s different now. In just one or two months, Yang Dayuan and others have all become rich. They all share their money with dozens of steads and hundreds of steads. The monthly wages are still dozens of steads. When the money is too much, the desire will rise with the rise. Zhao Qi recently started to build a big house, which made Yang Dayuan’s wife, Yang Dahu’s wife and even Ermao’s father and mother start to be dissatisfied. If they want to build a house, many women, children, young and old in the village ran to Zhao Qi’s construction site to visit and discuss, with all kinds of envious and jealous eyes.

Especially Yang Dayuan's wife Lin, she often drooled. She really wanted a big house. Therefore, after looking at Zhao Qi's planning map, she also wanted Yang Dayuan to build the house next to Zhao Qi's house, which was as big and generous as she could bring her parents and relatives to take a look.

Therefore, if the money has not been taken back, it is necessary to donate it, I am afraid that these women will not be so generous.

In the eyes of almost all women, home is everything for them, and the country is what men should worry about. Men are responsible for conquering the world, and women only need to deal with men.

"Brother Qi, I also think Dahu and Dayuan are right. Don't say it out, just donate it secretly!" Ermazi said, rubbing Mazi on her face.

"That's right, otherwise my father might be going to beat me again!" Ermao also covered his butt nervously nodded.

"It is impossible not to tell it out. When I mentioned it to Liu Jiangui Uncle Da Yuan, I said that this is an opportunity to make the reputation of Xiaolongwan Port with great fanfare. However, everyone agreed not to go home to discuss, so we might as well do this, and we donate it alone. I donate 100,000 yuan by myself, and you will donate 10,000 yuan together. In this way, each person will be about two or three thousand guan, not too much, but definitely not too little. If Mr. Liu goes home and discusses, no matter how much he plans to donate, we will donate this money to Ezhou in the name of Xiaolongwan Port to fund the war of resistance. What do you think?" Zhao Qi shook his head and said another method.

"Xiaoqi, although we have much less shares than yours, we actually have tens of thousands of coins in this time. You donated 100,000 coins by yourself, and only four of us donated 10,000 coins. I feel that it seems to be too little..." Yang Dayuan hesitated for a moment.

"That's right, Brother Qi, don't look down on others. Although I, Ermazi, can't make money, since I am a Mongol, I will not be vague. I don't have 100,000 or 50,000 yuan, so I will donate 10,000 yuan to avoid others saying that I am stingy and unrighteous..." Ermazi stood up with a little flushed face.

"Then... I... I'll donate 10,000 yuan like Ermazi!" Ermao stammered and spoke aggrievedly under Ermazi's vicious eyes.

"Since Ermao and Ermazi donated 10,000 guan, Dayuan, we will each donate 15,000 guan. Just as 150,000 guan, the storekeeper Liu can donate 50,000 guan, then our Xiaolongwan Harbor will donate 200,000 guan. This will definitely cause a large sum of money to Qingyuan Mansion!" Yang Dahu grabbed the furry chest hair on his chest and spoke happily.

"Okay, we're more at ease. If it were more than ten years ago, maybe I would have gone to join the army and fight this time. Donate more money this time, and it would also arouse the soldiers on the front line to kill more Mongolian barbarians!" Yang Dayuan nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's better to kill all the Mongolians. I don't know how many people from the Song Dynasty have killed us in recent years. Twenty years ago, I almost killed everyone in Chengdu. I heard that there were white bones everywhere, ghost fires everywhere at night, and women and children crying everywhere in the middle of the night..." Yang Dahu punched the table and said fiercely.

"So, we have money and work hard. I hope that the money will be sent to Ezhou so that the soldiers on the front line can know that we have not forgotten them in the rear, and we always stand with them to resist the Mongolian army..."

When Zhao Qi said this, a very strange thought suddenly popped out of his mind like a spark, and then it burned and could not be extinguished.

"Rear...rear..."

Zhao Qi seemed to have seen a grand scene of the Workers and Peasants' Red Army fighting guerrillas behind enemy lines to open up bases behind enemy lines, and then his eyes gradually became warmer.

"Xiaoqi, what were you saying just now?" Yang Dayuan woke Zhao Qi up.

"Oh, no, I just wondered if I could raise more money elsewhere. Two hundred thousand guan seems to be a lot, but when fighting a war, it wouldn't work much," Zhao Qi pressed down his thoughts and said, "I'm going to pinch his chin."

"Apart from us shareholders, they are afraid that they can't get much money!" Yang Dahu shook his head slightly.

"I don't think of them, but our entire Yanggong Town. Think about it, the entire Yanggong Town Harbor is so big, there are probably three or four hundred merchants, and there are hundreds of merchant ships coming and going every day. There are not a poor owner of these merchant ships. If we can find a way to persuade them to donate together, even if each family only donates one hundred coins, it will be tens of thousands of coins. If there are still people who donate more money like us, maybe it is possible to get 300,000 coins in the end!" Zhao Qi explained.

"It's hard, it's too difficult. If the imperial government hadn't come forward, who would dare to donate the money to us, let alone if we donate it, we will have a reputation. They can't get anything, and who will do the unhealthy things!" Although Ermazi didn't study, his mind was still very flexible and could see the crux of it at a glance. Zhao Qi's hope was a bit too natural and it wouldn't work.

"Ermazi is right, Xiaoqi, don't worry. We donate it in our own way. Others cannot force others to donate. 200,000 guan is not a small amount. The court has allocated 50,000 guan for a while. We are all real money, and we have converted more than one million guan." Yang Dayuan also echoed.

"How can I know if I have not tried it? Even if I donate a hundred coins more, it is good. I will say this in advance. I will think about whether there is any other way. Either I don't do it or do it the best. The soldiers on the front line are not afraid of losing their heads and sprinkling their blood. What are you afraid of if you are a little trouble!" Zhao Qi did not agree with the concept of a few people.

"Okay, Brother Qi, you are flexible. If you think of a method of fundraising, we will help you run errands, but if we want to find a way, it would be better to let me get a few hundred kilograms of iron. Let's say that today. After Manager Liu has discussed it, we will get together and talk. There is still a lot of things to be done on the construction site!" Yang Dahu said frankly, and after he finished speaking, he stood up and went out.

Yang Dayuan and Ermazi and Ermao also had a lot of work, and they all left quickly, leaving Zhao Qi alone in front of the table thinking hard.
Chapter completed!
