Chapter 123 The future is a bit worrying
Zhao Qi's arrival not only interested Yao Sheng, but also interested several other customers who have signed the intention contract.
After a brief introduction, chatting with tea. Yao Sheng and several merchants naturally asked about the invitation of Duke Chongguo and Ye Mengding for tea. Zhao Qi naturally said a few words and said confidently that Wu Qian had obtained the news that he would most likely enter the court to serve as prime minister next year. Ye Mengding's three-year worry ended and he could be reinstated in one or two months at most.
This group of people are all good businessmen and have contacts in both the political and business circles. Although they are still a little doubtful about Zhao Qi's words, they have more anticipation and enthusiasm for the future of Xiaolongwan Harbor.
Ding Daquan is now in a big situation, and he is in the court to cover the sky. Everyone knows the situation of Wu Qian and Ding Daquan being in conflict. At that time, Wu Qian was squeezed out of the court by Ding Daquan and only realized the Qingyuan Mansion. Therefore, Ding Daquan is not over, and Wu Qian has a very slim chance of entering the main center.
But no matter whether Wu Qianneng went to the capital to be the prime minister, after all, he was still the founding duke, a first-rank official and a prefect of Qingyuan Prefecture. These identities alone are enough to make people look at each other. As long as he is optimistic about Xiaolongwan Port, not to mention that the future of Xiaolongwan Port is limitless, at least there is no problem to make a fortune after investing now.
The young man who was not astonishingly looked was not only the planner of the harbor, but also personally received the same time as Wu Qian and Ye Mengding, and also drank the Dragon Tuan tribute tea that ordinary people could not drink together. This treatment alone was enough to show Zhao Qi's magical attributes.
Even if Zhao Qi is just a young man from the mountain village who doesn't study, it is not impossible to spend money to donate his identity as a juren and promote and reuse it. In the Song Dynasty, as long as he has money, everything is possible, because the imperial court not only has imperial examinations, but also has command and cute supplements. As long as he has strong connections and backers, it is not too difficult to get a Jinshi, after all, it is just a status. And now I heard that Jinshi can be bought with money, as long as there is a way.
Therefore, scholars are respected, but rich people are also respected. In the entire Song Dynasty, there are a lot of people who are looking at houses. Now, this group of merchants who are looking at houses are just spending money to buy a rank of a rank and shine their family lintels. Selling official positions and titles has become an important means of making money for the increasingly tight Southern Song court.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that studying for the imperial examination is the only opportunity and way for poor children to make a fortune, but for rich people, there are many ways to make a fortune, and rich second generations can have many ways to enter the officialdom. Even after hundreds of years, this is still a common social phenomenon.
When a student from a poor family spent his family's wealth and studied hard, and finally climbed up the top of the mountain after the college entrance examination and college entrance examination, he realized that he had already been parked on the top of the mountain, and all the well-dressed second-generation officials and rich second-generations were shrouded in the light of famous foreign universities.
This is the naked reality.
Different classes have ways to advance different classes, and it is never possible to be fairly on the same starting line.
Some people say that everything is fair, and the rich should treat everyone equally and use the same method to get promoted by the poor.
This is naturally the best solution, but once he becomes an official and becomes rich and faces the future of his descendants, he will not think so again. This is a contradiction that the position and class will never resolve.
The sales office is very lively, with people coming and going. People who look at the sand table, those who sign the sand table, those who sign the order, those who drink tea, and those who look at the contract, several scholars arranged by Chen Ji and Liu Dong and shopkeeper Liu are responsible for receiving and signing intention contracts. More than a dozen young and beautiful women are back and forth in the process of serving tea and water to deliver the contracts, and they are attentive and attentive.
Zhao Qi accompanied Yao Sheng and others to chat and have tea. During this period, merchants who signed contracts came to chat. After nearly an hour of busy work, all merchants rode horses and drove away by car, and the entire sales office slowly calmed down.
At this time, the sun was already westward.
Watching Yang Dayuan arrange a carriage to send the last few merchants away, the sales office completely quieted down, leaving only a group of women and helpers sorting out and cleaning up the mess.
"Brother Chen, how many intention contracts have been signed today!" Zhao Qi walked to the long wooden table with a smile and asked.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhao, we signed a total of 27 intention contracts today. According to the effectiveness of the talks, almost all customers who will place orders!" Chen Ji handed a thick stack of contracts to Zhao Qi.
"Thank you, Brother Chen, the flag is running for victory. Mr. Liu, it's not too early, and everyone is hungry for almost a day. Should we find a place to have a big meal to celebrate?" Zhao Qi smiled as he looked at the contract.
"Of course, how can you not celebrate such a good thing? Dayuan, please inform us that all the construction sites will be suspended for rest. Each of the porters and the staff under the supervision will pay the money. The craftsman and the security guard on duty will give two. The staff at my restaurant will go to my restaurant to celebrate. Today, I will not be drunk!" Manager Liu's face turned red, and his mouth was cracked to the back of his head with excitement.
"Master Liu, what should we do?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Dalang, we are neither porters nor helpers..."
A group of women in the sales office were surrounded by beautiful women.
"Haha, you naturally have to go and drink!" Ermazi hugged a prostitute in his arms and laughed.
"Hehe, Brother Erma, your hands are honest, this is in public!" The woman smiled and held Ermazi's hand holding the savage pigs' hands that were kneading her buttocks.
"Brother Erma is right. You all go and drink together. Today, you must be satisfied with everyone. Take out all the best singing and dancing skills. I will receive a reward later!" Zhao Qi waved his hand proudly.
"Yew~"
The entire sales office instantly heard a burst of crying and howling cheers.
Almost everyone in charge of Ermazi Ermao Donggua and other group of managers could not wait to hug a prostitute in their arms, and a group of tea girls and sales ladies who looked dignified and decent just now all showed their true colors. They laughed and began to roar. Even Yang Dayuan, who was usually silent and steady, hugged a little lady in his arms and couldn't stop smiling.
The entire sales office was noisy.
Zhao Qi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he could almost squeeze out the ink.
Damn, with such a group of people working on projects, the future of Xiaolongwan Harbor is a bit worrying.
Chapter completed!
