The casual life of the flat space

When her uncle knew she was looking for someone to look after the chicken farm, he asked her to go to Wuchangfang in the southwest corner of the county town to ask if old man Zeng was still there. Later, when she mentioned this when renting the yard, the broker unexpectedly introduced the same person.

The experience of Lao Zengtou was also told by the man from the tooth. She introduced him to her because, apart from these two cruel things, Lao Zengtou was not really a bad person. He had a good relationship with the neighbors and knew many people. He would always help anyone who needed help, big or small.

But he had grown old in the past two years, and the new people who had grown up didn’t know about his past. He had fewer ways to make money, so his life was rather miserable, and he often had no food to eat.

Seeing that Bai Tieying was looking for someone to work long-term and the work was not too strenuous, the broker recommended him. After Bai Tieying met him and decided to hire him, she also promised Lao Zengtou that as long as he worked hard, she would help him in his old age when he felt he could no longer work, and she signed a contract with him.

When the broker saw this, he kept saying that Miss Bai was a kind-hearted person. Old Zeng also realized that he had actually taken advantage of her, so he managed the chicken farm by himself and made it in order.

Last time, the number of chickens in the chicken farm reached 1,000, and Bai Tieying said that he would not use it even if he could find a few people to help him because he could not handle it. He said that every chicken sold would be a loss, and as long as he could still move, he would not let Bai Tieying spend more.

Seeing that he insisted, Bai Tieying didn't say anything more, but this time she informed him first and said that she would send some elderly people and children to the yard to work together in a few days, and asked him not to think too much.

They were all refugees who had suffered misfortune, and they just needed work to do and food to eat. However, if he had a promising child, he could take care of him, because the hard work on the chicken farm had to be done by young people, and it would be best if there was someone to help him break pots and beat banners in the future.

After hearing this, the usually taciturn old Zengtou burst into tears and couldn't stop crying for a long time. He told Bai Tieying that he would help her run the chicken farm and not let her worry. If she wanted to expand her business, he would risk his old bones to build this business for Bai Tieying.

Bai Tieying didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. Her business was to help people overcome difficulties. The bigger the business, the more losses she would suffer. So she just comforted Lao Zeng and told him to live a peaceful life. She didn't take what he said seriously at all.

After leaving the chicken farm, Bai Tieying took Mu Qingqiu to Chai Lao Da's place. What Village Chief Wang said was true. Chai Lao Da only made a profit of one tael for each waterwheel mill he helped the village build, but no one came to do it for more than a month because no one could afford the twenty taels of capital!

Besides, where would the money for building aqueducts and digging ponds come from? So even if Chai Lao Da was willing to earn less money, no one would do it. When Village Chief Wang mentioned this matter that day, someone actually went back to his mother's village to tell her about it, and soon someone came to ask about it.

As a result, when they heard that a waterwheel would cost twenty-one taels, and the stone mill would cost fifteen taels, and that building a pavilion on the stone mill would cost another fifteen taels, not to mention the aqueduct which cost fifty wen per zhang, and all the other labor costs...so they all backed out.

After Bai Tieying heard about it, she went to Zhou's house to "take advantage of the rich and ask for money" and got 50,000 taels of silver. Of course, she also did it to pay off the fine for the space.

As soon as she got the money, she found Manager Zhang and contacted a well-known exchange shop, and negotiated an "unprecedented" deal - to lend money to villagers to build water wheels and mills in the name of the exchange shop. She would deposit the same amount of money as the shop lent out, without interest, for a period of one year.

However, it is necessary to specify when borrowing: each village is limited to 300 taels, and actual payment can be made, but no additional payment will be made. The loan period is one year, and no interest is required, but Bai Tieying has the right to purchase all output in this year and next year at the same price.

The owner of Ruifengdui Store had never seen such a business that harmed oneself and benefited others. He couldn't understand what Bai Tieying was trying to do, so he didn't dare to make a decision and could only report the matter to his boss.

The boss originally didn't care about this kind of money, but the shopkeeper said that it was a ten-year-old girl who went to negotiate with him. This aroused the boss's interest, and he came to Shang'an County in person and finally settled the matter.

The owner's surname was Yao, and the main branch of the shop was in the capital, with a branch in each county. It sounded quite large, but Mr. Yao knew that Ruifeng's profits had been declining year after year, because it was being squeezed out by the big businesses that had "come down to earth" from the capital.

He agreed to this after a little consideration. First, Bai Tieying revealed at the right time that he had a backer and only went to the bank because of the trouble of borrowing money.

Secondly, a severe drought this year is inevitable. If Ruifeng can take the lead and teach people how to fish, then what it will gain is not just a good reputation. It may even lead to greater development through this move.

Isn't it difficult to get a good reputation? If Ruifeng hadn't relied on the old brand, it might have gone bankrupt two years ago. Now, in addition to the good reputation, Bai Tieying gave him a new idea. This "waterwheel loan" can be promoted in the prefecture and other counties!

Seeing that Mr. Yao was interested and that the sign of Space was a guarantee of his character, Bai Tieying acted as if she was conquered by his personality charm and talked to him in depth about the business direction of Duibianpu, namely "increasing the types of savings and expanding the channels for attracting savings" and "developing the sinking market and providing small loans".

The result of this speech was that she successfully fooled a man who thought she was a "child prodigy". She also took out 30,000 taels of silver notes from her pocket and declined the invitation to be the head shopkeeper with an annual salary of 10,000 taels. Finally, facing Mr. Yao's kindness, Bai Tieying only agreed to be a consultant.

After hearing what Yao Yuanwai had said, he even said that the position of "consultant" was very good. He offered a salary of 10,000 taels not because he wanted to be a sucker, but because the situation in Ruifeng was somewhat urgent, he wanted to burn his boats. So Bai Tieying got his first part-time job in Dayu - there were benefits during festivals, rewards for making suggestions, and a monthly salary of 100 taels - in the old days, he would have been a white-collar worker.

Bai Tieying felt that Mr. Yao was too open-minded, so she generously gave him "The Implementation of Customer Loyalty Programs" and "The Necessity of a Good Name for Business Development". She also accepted the 1,000 taels of "tea money" as a reward from Mr. Yao, and borrowed 100,000 taels of money for distribution for her own food factory at an annual interest rate of 5%.

You should know that the interest rate of government-run pawnshops is 20%, and the interest rate of some private pawnshops and exchange shops can even reach 180%. It is truly a case of killing people without shedding blood, ruining families and annihilating clans.

Therefore, the fact that Mr. Yao offered such a low interest rate was enough to show how much he liked her "golden ideas" and how successful Bai Tieying's move was just now.
