Chapter 187 Services
Wu Peifu bowed and said, "Brother, it's not Yao Xi's fault for this. It's me who is * for the underworld! In fact, there is no underworld in Pyongyang. Those scalpers are all younger brothers. The eldest brother will be beaten and punished, and the younger brother will never complain.
Yao Xi was very dissatisfied: "Wu Peifu, I'm still covering for you. You don't do it! This is so unrighteous!"
Zhou Charter sneered: "Yao Xi, you cover him! Wu Peifu, tell yourself what you have done!"
Wu Peifu blushed and said one by one.
It turned out that Wu Peifu's first regiment injured its vitality in the Qiaochuan River, killing many people, and many wounded soldiers. The army lacked doctors and medicine, and even lacked food to be served. This winter is coming, and everyone's days are getting worse and worse day by day.
Wu Peifu came to Pyongyang with the first regiment. He thought that there was nothing in Pyongyang's flower world, but when he entered the city, he found that there was medicine and grain in this damn place of Pyongyang, but they all wanted money!
The whole Zhang Jun is a group of poor people, and the first regiment is no exception. Without money, they can't afford to hire doctors, and they can't afford to catch medicine and buy food. Zhou Charter has a strict order that no one is allowed to force taxes and fees from the people, and they must pay for things. If anyone disobeys the military order, it will be a capital crime!
There are still 1,000 people left in the regiment, and there are 400 wounded soldiers. If they are not treated in time, more than half of these 400 people will not survive the winter. Wu Peifu had no money to cure the disease, and he did not dare to forcibly arrest a few men, so he was helpless. However, Wu Peifu also has some brains. If he can't do anything about it, it doesn't mean that everyone can't do anything about it. Therefore, Wu Peifu posted a list at the station, claiming that if anyone is smart enough to get money (of course, it is reasonable and legal), he will give him a position as deputy leader!
There must be a brave man under the reward! The position of a deputy regimental commander is extremely attractive. As soon as the reward notice was posted, a smart man came.
This smart man is the fat man who is now kneeling in front of Zhou Charter. This person's name is Shannian. He claimed to be from Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, Qing Dynasty. Because he came to Pyongyang to visit relatives and friends, he unfortunately suffered a war and was not able to return to his hometown and was exiled to Pyongyang.
The grand year unveiled the list and ran to Wu Peifu, saying that there are unlimited business opportunities in Pyongyang. As long as he is given enough people, he can immediately make money, and it is reasonable and legal, and will never damage Zhang Jun's reputation.
Wu Peifu was overjoyed to hear that this grand year had the ability to get money, and it was reasonable and legal. He was overjoyed and did not ask about the details of the grand year, and immediately sent a company to the grand year.
There are indeed some ways in this grand year. With this, I didn't even change my clothes. I went to the peony stage and became a scalper. I queued up under the peony stage to get the number and resell it. One number is five taels of silver, which is clear that the real price is not bullied.
When the North Korean people saw that these scalpers were Zhang Jun, they had to swallow their anger and pay the money obediently.
Shannian worked as a scalper under the peony stage for a few days, earned hundreds of taels of silver, and gave a lot of money to Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu was overjoyed, and no matter where the money came from, he immediately ordered someone to take the money and ask the doctor to get the medicine. However, he fulfilled his promise and immediately appointed Shannian as the deputy head of the first regiment.
Shannian became the deputy head of the regiment and was proud. In order to thank Wu Peifu for his kindness, he worked harder. In order to make more money, Shannian ordered the scalpers to raise the price, from five taels of silver to ten taels of silver!
This grand year is so urgent that I want to eat a fat man in one bite. This food is a bad thing.
Originally, although the people were not happy with five taels of silver, they could bear it. This suddenly rose to ten taels of silver, and ordinary people could not afford it. The people came to fight a lawsuit, and there was inherent resentment. With this price increase, the people were even more angry. Early this morning, they finally couldn't stand it. Under the leadership of Zheng Su, they collectively petitioned and complained, which made the Peony under the stage extremely discordant.
Zheng Suo led people to beat the drums and shout injustice under the peony stage. Zhou Charter woke up and hurriedly got up and looked down. However, he saw Yao Xi sitting below to try the case. It seemed that he was quite good. Zhou Charter has been caused by these trivial things of the people these days. Yao Xi is holding it down. Zhou Charter is very happy and leisurely, and he does not shout at it at present. Yao Xi plays prestige below and watches it by himself.
But looking at it, Zhou Charter found that the situation was wrong. Seeing that these people wanted to meet the Prime Minister, this momentum was aimed at Zhang Jun. Zhou Charter secretly sent people to inquire, and then he knew that there was someone in Zhang Jun who was a scalper! The person who organized the scalper party turned out to be Wu Peifu!
Zhou Charter was very angry and sent someone to call Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu heard that it was summoned by his eldest brother. This guy was extremely smart and immediately realized that the reselling of the number had been exposed, but he did not dare to deny it. He had to take the deputy regimental, Shan Shan Ning to see Zhou Charter.
Wu Peifu thoroughly told the story and said with a sad face, "Brother, I can't help it. It's up to you. I didn't complain about the punishment. Who wants you to be my eldest brother?"
Zhou Charter said angrily, "You son of a bitch! Do you fucking know your guilt?"
"I know my guilt!" Wu Peifu bowed his head and said.
"Tell me, what crime have you committed?"
"My little brother organizes the underworld..."
"Bulls!" Zhou Charter shouted, "As you said, my Zhang Jun has become an underworld! I don't think you know what crime you have committed!"
"Brother, what crime do you think I have committed?" Wu Peifu is not convinced.
"You, and you, as a bullshit deputy leader, put up your ears and listen to me! Look, what I said is ignored!" Zhou Charter shouted, "There is an endless stream of people coming to fight lawsuits under the peony stage, and they are very popular! Wherever there is popularity, there must be business opportunities! This is a good reason. There was some insight on the dog day of the grand year, and he saw business opportunities.
Sheng Nian narrowed his small eyes and looked happy: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your praise."
" Shut up!" Zhou Charter shouted, "You are actually a half-hanger. You can see business opportunities, but you don't know how to seize business opportunities. As a result, you have embarked on a crooked and evil path, which has ruined my reputation!"
Shannian was not convinced: "Prime Minister, you can't say that. To tell the truth, the Prime Minister, a small businessman, has a lot of experience in doing business. Since the villain can see business opportunities, he must be able to catch it!"
"Bulls!" Zhou Charter shouted, "You catch a fart! You don't seize such a good business opportunity, but you encouraged my brother to do three dirty things! I don't think your so-called merchant family is very good!"
Shannian was still unconvinced and muttered, "There is nothing to say when the prime minister fights, but when it comes to business, our Sheng family has the most say."
Zhou Charter sneered: "You boy don't accept it! Anyway, I will educate you, the so-called prosperous businessman! Let me ask you, how many people come to the Peony stage to queue up for a lawsuit every day?
"The plaintiff and the defendant add up to at least 300 or 400 people. In addition, there are also two hundred people who accompanied the plaintiff and the defendant. In addition, the North Koreans are suing and like to use the group of relatives and friends. The group of relatives and friends is powerful, at least it has the upper momentum. Therefore, the group of relatives and friends, including the plaintiff and defendant Neighbors, relatives and friends, and some families have also invited patriarchs. Each group of relatives and friends will not be less than 200 people. Even if there are ten lawsuits every day, there are more than 2,000 relatives and friends alone. Therefore, there are at least 3,000 people under the Peony stage every day!" Grand Year said.
"Good! Popular! Let me ask you again, when do they usually come to line up? How long will it take?"
"There are too many people in litigation. They are afraid that they can't rank up. They are diligent and fast. Generally, they come with the bedding as soon as it gets dark the night before and deal with it under the peony stage all night. If you can get the number the next day, you have to continue to line up, so if you want to file a lawsuit, you have to queue up for at least one day and one night!"
Zhou Charter nodded: "On such a cold day, 3,000 people line up under the Peony stage for a day and one night. Don't they eat or drink to keep warm? In the grand year, you can see business opportunities, but you don't understand business opportunities! What are business opportunities? Business opportunity is service!"
Service? What service?" The grand year is at a loss.
It is to provide customers with what they need and let them willingly pay for services, instead of inverting the number! What is the reverse number? To put it bluntly, the reverse number is to grab it. Robbery, they gave you the money, but they scolded you in their hearts! But you have to do a good job of service. They not only give you the money, but also thank you in their hearts!"
"Brother, is there such a good thing?" Wu Peifu didn't believe it.
"Of course!" Zhou Charter said, "For example, these 3,000 people want to eat, which is inconvenient from home. You set up a porridge field under the peony stage and cook some porridge with some steamed buns and pickles. Don't make it too expensive. Ten yuan per serving is affordable and relieve hunger. There must be a lot of people to eat. For example, in the evening, when the weather is cold and wind is strong, you Build a few huts under the peony stage. The elderly and infirm can go to the grass shed to shelter from the cold, and the charge is not too expensive. Twenty yuan a night, or hourly, that is, hourly room, two big money an hour; for example..."
Grand Year hurriedly interrupted: "We can also provide cotton-padded clothes for rent, which is not expensive, ten big money a night; provide massage, leisure and foot washing services, 50 big money per person; five big money for foot washing water, all of which are boiled water; by the way, we can also provide hot tea to provide snacks and children's playgrounds, adults Children come to file lawsuits, and we can also provide childcare services. For the elderly, we can also provide chatting and pedicure services. If someone needs it, we can also provide three warm wooden bucket baths. For those who are extremely wronged, we provide free psychological counseling..." This grand year is worthy of being a businessman, and it is all possible. You can draw inferences right away.
Zhou Charter nodded with appreciation: "In addition to providing rich and colorful service items, you should also provide warm, meticulous and thoughtful service. Use your services to dispel the cold of winter for customers, let customers feel the warmth of their relatives, and make them willing to pay for services with gratitude. Well, let me ask you, how much money have you made these days?
"Brother, we made 300 taels of silver." Wu Peifu said proudly.
Zhou Charter scolded: "Damn it! You have earned 300 taels of silver in the name of an underworld*! This * is also tragic enough! You are so ashamed!"
Wu Peifu said seriously, "Brother, there are more than 300 taels. My soldiers can eat herbs."
Zhou Charter shouted: "If you get the service, well, if a common person spends one tael of silver on you a day, 3,000 people will be 3,000 taels! If this lawsuit lasts for ten days, it will be 30,000 taels! Excluding cost consumption, you can earn at least 15,000 taels!"
"Five thousand!" Wu Peifu was stunned.
