! It's so lively!" Qian Chun looked at the bustling scene as she spoke. She did not seem to be alert at all.
However, he did not forget what he had to do first. He had to find a place to sell his accessories so that he could exchange them for some common currency.
After walking into a shop that looked like a pawn shop and a jewelry shop, he immediately exchanged the things he brought for silver. Although they were some stainless steel toys, they were still worth a few hundred taels!
Qian Chun couldn't help but think," If I had known, I would have brought a bunch of them here and exchanged them for gold. Then, I would have brought them back to where I came from and made a fortune."”
As soon as they left the shop, they saw many people running in the same direction. Qian Chun pulled one of them and asked,"May I ask what happened over there?”
That person didn't even look at Qian Chun and said,""The Shangguan family is recruiting people!" As soon as he finished speaking, he ran far away.
Although Qian Chun didn't know what was going on with the Shangguan family, she still followed them.
There were many temporary tables and chairs in the square. It seemed that someone was sitting there to register something. Looking around, the Shangguan family had divided several places to recruit people. Qian Chun thought to herself,"Is there a war? Conscription?" But no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like it because there were all kinds of people present. There were men, women, and even children. He really didn't understand what was going on, so he asked someone beside him,"May I ask what the Shangguan family is collecting? What does the Shangguan family do?"
"You must be from somewhere else, right?" the man said politely. The Shangguan family is a big family in Changdu. They have businesses in many fields.”
Seeing the confusion on Qian Chun's face, he kindly said,""This is Changdu, and under the jurisdiction of King Wu of Liang, the Shangguan Clan has a lot of influence. Many of their descendants are officials in the court, and some of them are generals in the army.”
After a pause, he said,"I'm sorry, miss. I'm going to try and see if I can be hired. Goodbye."”He crossed his arms and disappeared.
Knowing that there were still a few days before the recruitment, Qian Chun wasn't in a hurry to find out what the conditions were. She planned to figure out the current situation first, or else she would have to live on air again after spending all her money.
Although it was a foreign realm, the people here were still very enthusiastic. They did not look down on him because he was a foreigner. After asking around, they had a preliminary understanding of Changdu.
This place was located in the center of the Central Plains, and most of the people were valiant. However, that was only in a hostile situation. Further south from the Central Plains was the Southern Border. The situation of the originally fine countries had become tense again because King Gao Cheng of the Northern Region had joined forces with the Southern Border to annex several countries of the Central Plains. The Shangguan family had no choice but to withdraw some business experts to join the defense. King Wu of Liang and the Shangguan Clan were very good to the people. No one wanted another purge. Who knew if the master would change for the better or worse?
The Shangguan family had a lot of properties, such as a trading firm, a bidding bureau, and a tavern. The people they planned to take in this time were also divided into several categories, such as a salary, a steward, a servant, a maid, a coachman, and a shopkeeper. There were roughly three types of civil and military merchants. Their conditions were much better than ordinary merchants. Many people wanted to seek a position. Even if it was a small position, it was quite eye-catching to have the word "Shangguan" on it, wasn't it?
Although there was still some preference for boys over girls here, Qian Chun felt that she still had to give it a try. If it didn't work, she would think of another way.
The next day, Qian Chun went to the recruitment office in the square to try her luck.
Fortunately, the interviewer didn't reject her immediately after seeing that she was a woman. She still greeted her politely and gave her some questions and conditions to test the young girl in front of her as usual.
It was fine if she didn't try, but the more she tested, the more surprised she became. It seemed that a girl who wasn't even twenty years old was so knowledgeable in business? In his surprise and confusion, he invited the person in charge of the recruitment from the Shangguan family.
A middle-aged man walked towards them. He looked fat, but he wasn't clumsy when he walked. He was even steadier than the average person. His face was red, and he didn't look like a fat person at all. He looked like a big boss, which made Qian Chun feel a little funny.
As soon as he approached Qian Chun, he said politely,"I am the young lady that the servant told me about?"”
"Yes," Qian Chun said calmly.”After saying that, he looked at the fatty quietly.
The fat man continued," My name is Shangguan Zhong. I heard from my servant that you have a knack for business. How about I try something out?"”
After that, he asked some questions about the problems that the Shangguan family had encountered, but he did not expect this girl to expose the problem in two or three times. How could he not be surprised? Back then, everyone had thought about it for a long time!
Just like that, Qian Chun was brought into the Shangguan Manor by Shangguan Zhong, who seemed to have found a treasure. He gave Qian Chun some instructions and introduced her to the people in the manor. Then, he planned to give Qian Chun a teahouse and let him try it out. However, that was only a few days later.
Qian Chun took over one of the many teahouses managed by Shangguan Zhong. After Qian Chun received Shangguan Zhong's approval, the entire teahouse was renewed.
Not only had the name been changed to Stone Workshop, but its appearance was just like its name. It was made of stone and had the elegance of a European-style ancient castle. The interior was divided into a public area on the first floor, a VIP area on the second floor, and a conference area on the third floor. There were also halls, private rooms, and private rooms to choose from. From time to time, special tea and meals were introduced. There were also a series of activities. Although the business hours were from 11:00 p. m. to 9:00 p. m., it was still crowded every day.
Coupled with Qianchun's advertising methods and marketing rules, a small tea shop became known to everyone in a short period of time!
At first, Shangguan Zhong was a little unwilling when Qian Chun asked for a lot of money. Now, he was so surprised that his mouth was almost crooked. What kind of technique was this? A quarry is worth the business of nearly ten teahouses under me?
"Fortunately, she is from the Shangguan family." Shangguan Zhong thought as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
At this moment, Shangguan Zhong was ready to tell the master about this amazing thing…
