Chapter 115 (1/2)
Twenty four business houses are on twenty four business street, which is just a very common street. The spacious street is flanked by various business names. Overseas merchants and merchants from all over the Zhou Dynasty come and go. Although it's called twenty four business houses, it's not only twenty-four business houses. There's a business Association in East Vietnam, and only twenty-four business houses can enter the chamber of Commerce. Therefore, this street gets its name.
Not far from the 24th Street is the port. The chamber of Commerce building is built near the river. Next to the chamber of Commerce building is the government office, which specializes in import and export taxes. No matter local or overseas businesses, they need to help them pay taxes here, so that they can unload goods or go to sea.
This is a small place, but it's a small place in East Vietnam. The reason why East Vietnam can become the richest place in the Zhou Dynasty is the prosperity of the 24th Street.
Shen ziqiao didn't expect that this place could develop so well. This business is probably the trading company in ancient times.
”Go to yixinghang first.” Mr. Pan didn't take the carriage. He took Shen ziqiao to walk slowly on the 24th Street. He explained to her how to go to the government office to pay taxes when the cargo ship arrived, and how to unload the cargo ship after getting the license. He also introduced the role of the chamber of Commerce.
“…… You can see that there is the chamber of Commerce on the flag of Dazhou. There are too many businesses, and there will always be things beyond our control. To make the businesses in East Vietnam stable and safe, we need to suppress them properly, so that we can rest assured and the court can rest assured. ” Said Mr. Pan.
”You mean that the chamber of commerce is actually governed by the imperial court?” Shen ziqiao asked, looking at the chamber of commerce not far away. I heard that he's the general manager.
Mr. Pan smiled. ”Not really. It's a rule handed down from past dynasties. If there are businesses that deliberately raise prices to disrupt the market and affect people's lives, they need to be suppressed by the chamber of Commerce.”
Shen ziqiao didn't quite understand.
”Whose money do we earn? It's the money of the people. If the people's life is not easy, where can we earn money? Reasonable profit and stable market are the foundation of our business Mr. Pan laughed and said, ”you are still young, you should learn slowly.”
”Yes, grandfather.” Shen ziqiao is very respectful to Mr. Pan. Considering that the merchants of the common people are absolutely good merchants, it is no wonder that the pan family can stand up in East Vietnam and educate several children so well.
Well, it's a little out of tune except for my second uncle.
”Your mother used to come here more often than me.” Old master pan suddenly said, pointing to the river nearby, he could see the cargo ship vaguely. ”He was also like a man, commanding everyone to load and unload.”
”Does my mother have your true story?” Shen ziqiao seems to be able to see a valiant woman walking along the river.
Mr. Pan remembered that his daughter used to like to ask questions around him. His heart suddenly became sad and sour, ”you are very similar to your mother.”
Shen ziqiao hurriedly shook his head. ”I'm not as powerful as my mother. If it's me, I don't have the ability to start a business by myself. I'm afraid ordinary men are not as smart as my mother.”
”You are a little sloth.” Old pan laughed.
”I think that's good.” Shen ziqiao has no ambition, so he can't do what Pan did.
”You are so Maybe better. ”
If a daughter can be like an ordinary woman, rather than having a strong temper, she always wants to prove that a woman will not lose to a man. Maybe today's result will be different.
They have come to yixinghang. Yixinghang has three rooms, three floors high. When the shopkeeper saw Mr. Pan, he hurriedly welcomed him up. ”Mr. Pan, you are here. Fujian tea has just got off the ship. Would you like to have a look in person?”
Mr. Pan looked at Shen ziqiao. ”Would you like to see the goods with me?”
”I'll go to see my mother's business,” said Shen ziqiao, grinning and biting her little finger
”Go.” Old pan smiled and asked yixingxing's assistant to take Shen ziqiao to the tianbaoxing left by pan.
It was not long before Pan's founding tianbaoxing was married. She relied on Zhang and fan to manage business for her in East Vietnam. She was far away in the capital to guide her. She turned a small shop into a business that now has two large-scale businesses that no one can look down upon.
Tianbaoxing is not far away from yixingxing, just a few shops away.
”Three young ladies?” When manager fan, who was about to go out, saw Shen ziqiao coming, he called out in surprise and smiled seriously.
”Manager fan, do you want to go out?” Shen ziqiao went to tianbaoxing for the first time. His bright black eyes looked curiously at the decoration of tianbaoxing.
There is a big cupboard as soon as I enter the door. Usually, shopkeeper Zhang is here to do some work, but I didn't see shopkeeper Zhang today.
There are also several Taishi chairs in the hall, which are high enough to entertain and discuss with the guests.
”It's not urgent to go to the Yamen.” Manager Fan said, let all the guys of tianbaoxing come to see Shen ziqiao.
Shen ziqiao greets everyone and finds that it doesn't need more introduction from manager fan. Everyone in the business knows that she is the boss.
It should be these days that they all mentioned her.Shen ziqiao was grateful and moved to them.
”Manager fan, how about manager Zhang?” Shen ziqiao asked. When she saw manager fan preparing to talk about the various operations of the business, she asked manager Zhang where he had gone.
”Oh, I just went out.” Manager Fan said, ”it seems that he is looking for him.”
Just then, he saw shopkeeper Zhang coming in from the gate, and Shen ziqiao was also here. He was slightly shocked.
