- "Your father is Viscount Ed. You shouldn't be out doing things like ordinary people. I really don't understand why you go to all the trouble to let me hire you?"
Zhao Hongyu asked the little fat man Aide very strangely.
Little Fatty Ed looked back and saw that his father and other nobles were still dancing. The other young people were either watching or eating snacks, and no one noticed him at all.
He then turned back to Zhao Hongyu and whispered: "I need money, I'm going to be eighteen years old. When I turn eighteen, I will be kicked out of the house, and then I will have to rely on myself for everything. I don't want to I became a beggar on the street, so I wanted to find an opportunity for myself.¡±
Zhao Hongyu saw many things hidden in the expression on the little fat man Ed.
"I am an illegitimate child and have no status in the family. My mother is a farmer, and I am just the product of my father's drunkenness while hunting in the countryside. But because I am his son, it is a bit embarrassing to leave it outside. That's why he took me home." The little fat man actually told the truth to Zhao Hongyu.
"And my mother is an honest woman. She voluntarily separated from me in order to let me live a noble life." Ed slowly became calmer now and began to tell the story of what happened to him. "Unfortunately, what she doesn't know is that many things are completely different from what she imagined."
Zhao Hongyu could guess what happened next without Ed telling him.
It¡¯s nothing more than trivial matters in the family and property issues.
Aren¡¯t many aristocratic families troubled by this problem?
I think that visiting Viscount Ed's house is no exception.
"Let me guess, an illegitimate child was deprived of his inheritance rights and was about to be kicked out of the house. So he had to find a way to find a job to avoid becoming a beggar or a destitute person, right?" Zhao Hongyu interrupted. After listening to Ed's story, he told him the following things.
Although this was Zhao Hongyu¡¯s guess, it was also very accurate.
"Yes, Your Highness, that's it." Ed admitted happily.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Ed seriously and said: "I don't want to pay attention to your family affairs, it has nothing to do with me. And your own destiny has nothing to do with me, you have to understand this."
Little Fatty Ed nodded.
Zhao Hongyu continued: "I admire your courage and intelligence very much, so I am willing to give you such an opportunity. Don't think that I am moved by your miserable life experience, because there are many people in this world who are better than you." You must remember that there are people who are ten thousand times more miserable.¡±
"Your Highness, do you want to hire me?"
The little fat man asked excitedly.
"Yes, I am willing to hire you as a promotion agent, and while paying you a salary, I will also give you some dividends at the end of the year based on the sales of black tea. I don't think you will refuse, right?"
Zhao Hongyu looked at the little fat man with a smile.
Of course, of course I won¡¯t refuse.
Only an idiot would refuse.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I will definitely do a good job. Please rest assured, I will definitely do it."
The little fat man is now a little incoherent because of his excitement.
¡°Don¡¯t talk with your mouth, what I want to see is your actual actions and data. But before that, I want to hear your detailed promotion plan.¡±
"Okay, Your Highness, I'll tell you about it right now." The little fat man nodded hurriedly and said.
Next, the little fat man told Zhao Hongyu his promotion plan.
It has to be said that this little fat man is really a genius. He has just boarded the battleship and been exposed to milk tea, and he has already figured out something in his heart.
Because the time was too short, although it was not very mature yet, it was enough to impress Zhao Hongyu.
It¡¯s very simple, because little fat Ed is not from later generations, so he can¡¯t possibly know so many things about business. He is just a European boy who has just escaped from the ignorant era of the Dark Middle Ages. It is already very good to have this knowledge.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to desire too much for the fat little Ed.
Even so, Zhao Hongyu was very surprised by Little Fatty Ed¡¯s idea.
The conversation between Fatty Ed and Zhao Hongyu finally attracted the attention of others.
"Hey, isn't that a bastard from Viscount Ed's family? I didn't expect that he would have the courage to talk to that prince from America. I really didn't expect that."
¡°?What are your sons talking about with that highness? I see that they seem very happy. "
"Is this still our dull, good-for-nothing brother?"
"Damn bastard, are you trying to steal the spotlight? But it doesn't matter, he will leave this home soon."
Everyone¡¯s reactions are different, but this will not affect the conversation between Ed and Zhao Hongyu.
Through Ed¡¯s narration, Zhao Hongyu learned about the little fat man¡¯s preliminary plan.
Acting as an agent for black tea, we will first promote it for free, so that more people can understand the benefits of this kind of tea with milk, and accept it and become accustomed to it.
You may not make much money in the early stage, but you may also lose a lot.
But if people accept it and get used to it, then wealth will come rolling in.
Such small means will be common in later generations.
But in 1621, it was an unprecedented feat.
The reason is very simple, because no businessman is willing to take the risk to promote a product that everyone is unfamiliar with, and it is free at the beginning.
But Zhao Hongyu is different. He agrees with this kind of promotion method.
Ed made it clear that since the recognition of this product is not high, then they should improve people's recognition of this product.
When people get used to it and accept it, the market will be huge.
Of course, Ed is also very conservative. After all, he has to consider what Zhao Hongyu can accept.
So in Ed¡¯s plan, the people he targeted were only the nobles.
Because in this case, there will be far fewer people supplying it for free, and Zhao Hongyu can avoid a lot of losses.
Strictly speaking, Ed's idea is not wrong, but Zhao Hongyu doesn't see it that way.
It¡¯s not that Ed¡¯s plan is bad, it¡¯s just that he is too conservative.
Well, Zhao Hongyu understands this little fat man very well. After all, everyone has different levels of cognition, so they look at the problem from different angles.
But considering the age that the little fat man lives in, it is worth appreciating that he can have such an insight.
"Your plan is very good, but in my opinion it is a bit conservative. I hope you will not only focus on the nobles, but also on the ordinary people, because the nobles are a minority after all, and they are unlikely to buy There are too many commodities, but it is different for ordinary people. Their numerical advantage will ensure that we make a lot of money."
Zhao Hongyu said to the little fat man very seriously.
He believes that the little fat man is a talent worthy of his cultivation.
That¡¯s why Zhao Hongyu said the above words to him. If it were someone else, he wouldn¡¯t worry about it.
After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, the little fat man thought for a while and said: "You are my boss now, and I will follow your wishes. But our early investment was too big, and I didn't know you" Before the little one could After the fat man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongyu: "Don't worry, do you think I am that kind of short-sighted person?"
"There are tens of millions of people in Europe, not including Africans and Arabs. If your promotion plan is successful, you can think about what a huge fortune this will be." Zhao Hongyu drew for the little fat man A beautiful vision for the future.
The little fat man was stunned.
It is true that as Zhao Hongyu said, it is good for him to just stare at the nobles, but the nobles are only a minority after all.
"As Zhao Hongyu said, it is still the ordinary people who have purchasing power.
If they get used to this kind of product and consume it frequently, it will be an absolutely huge wealth.
The little fat man sighed that he had found a good boss.
He knew that no one would agree to his plan. He may even be ridiculed as a lunatic or even stupid.
Because in this era in Europe, no one knows how important it is to cultivate your own customers.
No one will realize this.
Yes, it doesn¡¯t matter if a product doesn¡¯t have customers, as long as you have the perseverance to cultivate it.
As long as your product is really useful and closely related to everyone¡¯s lives, then there is nothing to worry about.
This is completely a concept beyond the times.
"Let me tell you a story." Zhao Hongyu saw the little fat man standing there stupidly. After being shocked by what he said, Zhao Hongyu decided to instill some ideas in him.
"There is a small island in this world, and there are many islanders on the island. They are rich, happy and hardworking. On this day, the island came toI met a businessman who sells shoes"
The story told to the little fat man will be ruined in future generations.
But the little fat man listened very intently.
In his opinion, this story contains a kind of wise thinking, a kind of wisdom that goes beyond what he has learned.
He listened very carefully, and at the same time he was thinking about what would happen if he were a businessman and went to that island.
This story is very short, and Zhao Hongyu finished it quickly.
After telling this story, Zhao Hongyu asked the little fat man Ed: "Look, two businessmen have two choices and mentality. The first businessman left very disappointed after knowing that the islanders did not wear shoes. He gave up his own The second businessman was not discouraged when he heard that the islanders did not wear shoes, but was very happy. Because he saw something different from what the first businessman saw, which was business opportunities and wealth."
Little Fatty Ed couldn¡¯t help but nod his head. He also admitted that he was impressed by the second businessman.
Normal people¡¯s thinking patterns are generally the same as those of the first businessman. The little fat man also thought about it secretly and felt that he would leave as disappointed as the first businessman.
"You see, life, like doing business, requires wisdom and different perspectives." Zhao Hongyu said to the fat man Ed with a smile. "Often things that most people think are crazy, maybe they are wrong. Keep the mentality and thoughts you had when you faced me today, I believe you can do better."
Little Fatty Ed nodded seriously: "Your Highness, thank you for this story. I know what to do."
In the heart of the little fat man, he was suddenly filled with confidence and gratitude.
"Oh, my child, what are you talking about with His Highness?"
At this time, little fat Ed¡¯s father, Viscount Ed, came over with a hypocritical smile on his fat face.
He was very surprised when he saw his illegitimate son chatting happily with Zhao Hongyu. He was worried that his illegitimate son would offend Zhao Hongyu, the God of Wealth, by talking nonsense, so he finally walked over uneasy.
"Father."
When the little fat boy Ed saw his father coming, he called him with a timid look on his face, and then stood there and looked at him uneasily.
Zhao Hongyu could tell that the little fat man was very afraid of his father.
"Your Highness, my child didn't talk nonsense. If so, please forgive me."
Without even asking for details, Viscount Ed decided that his child might have said something wrong.
I really feel sad for the little fat man. Is he so unbearable in his father's heart?
¡°And Zhao Hongyu also felt sorry for Ed himself. His own child was so smart and full of ideas, but he, as a father, didn¡¯t even know that this was a failure.
If he could let the little fat man share some things with him, maybe their family would have become prosperous long ago.
You know, sometimes a good idea can make a family rise. This is not a myth.
It is a pity that Viscount Ed did not have Bole's skills and did not realize that his illegitimate son was a thousand-mile horse.
"No, Viscount Ed, I had a great time chatting with your son. In my opinion, he is very courageous, has ideas and is smart. I have decided to hire him as a promoter of one of my American products."
Hiss!
Megan and the others who were following Viscount Ed, as well as the young people, all took a breath of air.
¡°None of them could have imagined that the usually timid and dull Edgar Lomons would be so lucky.
Especially Meghan and other nobles know very well how valuable American goods are.
"It's his blessing that His Highness can take a fancy to him. I really didn't expect this child to have such good luck." Viscount Ed laughed.
In his opinion, his illegitimate son was probably just lucky, and he didn't think of anything else.
¡°Not only did he think so, but Meghan and other nobles, as well as the young people who came over, also thought so. Because in their minds, the fat little Edgar Lomons was not just a lowly illegitimate son, he was also a good-for-nothing person.
Everyone knows that he is about to reach adulthood and leave Viscount Ed's house.
By that time, the little fat man will definitely not be able to survive.
Yes, that¡¯s what everyone thinks.
At this time, Zhao Hongyu shook his head and said to everyone: "No! No! No! This is not luck. Edgar Lomons himself recommended himself to me and made a proposalIt was a very good suggestion. I thought his suggestion was very good, so I gave him such a chance. I will never refuse talent. "
Talents!
The guy of Ed Caronus is a talent! ?
After everyone listened to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, they suddenly felt that they were a little out of their minds. (To be continued.
