Little wealth

The family discussed the matter of hiring someone, and the next day Josh left Cao Ping to talk about it.Suddenly being retained by his boss, Cao Ping thought it was something wrong, but he was obviously taken aback for a moment when he didn't expect him to be the shopkeeper of the new store.

Seeing Cao Ping's expression, Josh knew that he would agree, so he continued: "When the time comes, you will be the shopkeeper in the new store, and you will only get one tael of silver every month from now on, but it's not like now. In this way, in addition to the fixed monthly money, there is also a share."

"At the end of the year, there will be a share for you at the rate of [-]% of the store's annual income. If the store is running well and earns more money, the more dividends you can get. You What do you think? Are you willing to be the shopkeeper?"

Calculated in this way, there will be 12 taels of silver income in a year, not to mention the extra share. Cao Ping naturally has no reason not to agree, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes." Even if there is no extra share , with the fixed annual income of 12 taels, he would also be willing to be the shopkeeper of this new store.

It's not bad for him to be the shopkeeper of this oil shop now, but the oil shop is such a big place. Apart from arranging people to deliver oil to restaurants and restaurants in the town every month, there is nothing else to do. Now Lu Cheng Liu Changhong is in charge over there, and he can't reach there, so he can only stay in Anyang, or develop in other towns or further afield.

Although being a shopkeeper is easier and less difficult than selling oil everywhere, after a period of time, he still misses the old days of selling oil everywhere.Now that he is asked to be the shopkeeper of the new store, and he knows where the new store is, the facade is more than four times bigger than their current oil store.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. It's different to lead two people and four people. He naturally wants to develop in a better place.

"Okay, then let's make an agreement like this. I will ask Ah Qiu to draw up a new contract and sign it with you." Seeing that Cao Ping agreed so readily, Qiao Xu also threw the recruiting matter to He went to deal with it, "The new store will open in less than half a month, and the people who do the work have not yet been hired, and the recruitment of people has also been handed over to you."

"See if you can find a few nimble guys in our village. It doesn't matter if they are older or younger, as long as they can do good things. As for the wages of the guys, it's fixed at [-] Wen per month. Three meals a day, live in the town, take two days off a month, the time can be decided by the clerk himself, but two people can't take the time off at the same time, they have to take turns one by one, and the wages are calculated without deducting money. I'll leave this matter to you to arrange, okay?"

"Yes, yes, I know there are a few good guys in the village, and I'll talk to them tomorrow." Cao Ping agreed.

The latter two talked for a while about the opening of the new store and hiring people. Qiao Xu asked Ah Qiu to draw up a new contract and sign it with Cao Ping.As for the oil shop, Ajiu was promoted to be the shopkeeper, and another clerk had to be hired in the shop.

Years later, their new shop is being renovated, and other shops are still open every day.

The new oil workshop at the entrance of the village is being built, and Liu Laoquan, who came back to help build their house, is invited to help. There are also some men in the village who are willing to help.Liu's father and son all work in their home. Liu Changhong is the third son of Mr. Liu's family. He was sent by him to open a new store and start business in Lucheng a year later.

Zhao He is going to recruit another master in the furniture shop. There were three master carpenters in the shop, but one of the masters did not come back after the year. Go to the store and help out.

Only a few days later, Wang Fu saw Chen Dazhu's figure appearing in the town, and felt strange for a while, so he secretly followed Chen Dazhu for half a street, and saw Chen Dazhu enter a shop.He knew that the shop was opened by a master carpenter named Liu in the town. They were working together to make threshing machines in Sihe Village, so he knew the shop named Liu.But why did Chen Dazhu go to Master Liu's shop?

When he got back to their shop, Wang Fu told Wu Asan about this.

"You mean, Chen Dazhu went to Master Liu's place?" Wu Asan couldn't help frowning, feeling that there must be something weird about it.

"Yes. Why do you think Chen Dazhu left our good work here and went to that Liu's place? When we were making threshing machines at the owner's house last year, I felt that the old guy named Liu He's not a good person." Wang Fu didn't have a good impression of Master Liu. When they were working on a threshing machine in Zhao's house, the master named Liu thanked him hypocritically after learning other people's things. He slapped his ass and left, and when he came back, he sold the threshing machine in the town, and the price was not cheap.

Now that Chen Dazhu left them to work hard and went to that Liu's place, he always wondered if that Liu was doing something bad.

Although they negotiated with the owner before that they would be invited to work in the store with a fixed five taels of silver a year, but they can work alone and get extra money. Last year they came to the store for less than half a year. Wang Fu did some calculations. For the salary he got, he took more than six taels of silver in those few months.In the past, not to mention earning so much money in one year, it was not necessarily possible to earn so much money in three to five years... Unless someone else can give more wages, otherwise they will definitely not be willing to abandon such a good job. work,; went to someone else's house.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Wang Fu's mind, and he asked, "Do you think it's because Old Man Liu gave Chen Dazhu more money that Chen Dazhu went to Old Man Liu?"

"It's hard to say." What Wu Asan is worried about now is not this, but that Chen Dazhu has stayed in their shop for so long, and Chen Dazhu has seen all the things made in the shop and the albums.Atlas?Only then did Wu Ahsan remember something they had neglected for so long, "Wang Fu, go and find the blueprints we usually draw, and whether the album is still there."

"The album?" As if thinking of something, Wang Fu's eyes widened.

"It's over, we really lost a booklet..."

Sure enough, when they looked for it, they found that one of the albums was missing, so they hurriedly reported the matter to their boss.

"You mean, did you see Chen Dazhu go to Master Liu's place? One of the albums in our store is missing?" Zhao Hechu was stunned when he heard that, apparently he didn't expect that the master who left without a word would take away their blueprints. and booklet stolen.

Wang Fu nodded, and replied: "Yes, we searched all over but couldn't find another booklet, Chen Dazhu must have stolen it."

But now that the person has left, they have no evidence to prove that Chen Dazhu stole the atlas and blueprints. This is the crux of the problem.If they caught someone on the spot and got the stolen goods together, Chen Dazhu would definitely not be able to escape.

Zhao He reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, and asked the other two masters for their opinions, "Look, what should we do about this matter now?"

"Of course it's a report to the official, damn it! It's a white-eyed wolf!" Wang Fu said angrily.

Wu Asan couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "We have no evidence, and it's useless to report to the police."

"..." Wang Fu was suddenly annoyed, and asked, "Should we just let him go like this?"

"Let me think about how to deal with this matter first, and you go to work first." In fact, Zhao He already had a premonition in his heart. Chen Dazhu suddenly stopped coming, and he must have gone to another store. What he was thinking at the beginning was only Chen Dazhu He would take what he learned from their store to another house, but he didn't expect that Chen Dazhu would steal their album, and he also blamed that there were too many things going on in the next year, and he was too busy to think about these things.

Although Wang Fu was very angry in his heart, but seeing that their boss's complexion was not very good, he could only do things with Wu Asan first.

Soon they learned from the customers who came to their store that there was also a store in the town that launched the same toys as their store, and the price was cheaper than their store price.

Sure enough, what they were worried about happened, and they could only watch it happen without being able to stop it.

When he heard about this, Wang Fu went to Chen Dazhu in anger and scolded him severely, but he didn't think Chen Dazhu had any intention of repenting.Liu's Shop is still making the same toys as them and stealing their furniture business.

"Did something happen in the store recently? I think you haven't loosened your brow these days." Josh could still tell from the expression on the man's face when he came back these days that something was wrong with him.

After dinner in the evening, the man accompanied him out for a walk outside the yard. After his repeated questioning, the man told him what happened in the store, "You mean, Chen Dazhu left and took our album Take it away, Master Liu made the same toys as ours?"

"Well, yes, I was just thinking about what to do about this matter." But what made Zhao He a headache was that he couldn't think of a way to deal with it after thinking about it for so many days.

Josh originally thought that someone in the town would imitate their toys and furniture, but he didn't expect that the masters in their shop were poached, and their albums were also stolen. "It's a bit troublesome."

"Hey, didn't you sign the agreement? Show me the agreement."

The two went back to the house, and the man took out the agreement signed with several masters and gave it to him.

Josh studied the agreement carefully, and pointed it out to the man, "Look, it's clearly written in it, if a master leaves our shop, take the things in our shop to another shop If we go, we can ask the other party to pay us ten times the loss and compensation, and the words here are clearly written."

"Take this thing tomorrow and go to the Yamen to sue the officials. Since he is unkind, we won't make it easy for him."

"Okay." After hearing Fu Lang's words, Zhao He folded the contract that Chen Dazhu had signed with him, put it in a box, and slept with Fu Lang at night with peace of mind.

And at this time, a team from Kyoto was heading towards Anyang, already halfway.
