Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

He Jiahao smiled slightly, and put it off, "This...can I tell you after all the books are sold?"

His smile was faintly confident, which Zhang Chi admired.

Zhang Chi didn't ask, but thought for a while and said, "Why don't we cooperate together. You provide the capital, and I provide the story. If the money is sold, we will share it equally. If the loss is lost, I will bear it with you. What do you think? "

He Jiahao didn't immediately agree, but looked at Zhang Chi and asked seriously: "Are you sure? If I just buy your story, you won't lose money. If you cooperate with me, you may lose money .”

This He Jiahao is a real person.

"Otherwise, if the book is sold quickly, you will share half of the money I earn. If it cannot be sold, I will not want your money." Speaking of this, Zhang Chi laughed, "Or, those that cannot be sold Book, if you sell it to me at half price, I will share half of your loss."

He Jiahao was surprised, "How can this work? Then you are at a disadvantage?"

"I won't suffer. If I really can't sell it, I will give it as a gift during the event. Anyway, I won't stay at home and breed bugs."

He Jiahao realized that Zhang Chi was joking, and also laughed, "Insects definitely won't happen."

"Yeah! If you can't sell it in one year and sell it in two years, you can always sell it."

"Boss Zhang said yes."

Zhang Chi was a little puzzled, "I heard that Mr. He has studied since he was a child and was admitted as a scholar. His family should have high expectations of you, right? Why do you want to do this business?"

He Jiahao lowered his eyes slightly, his voice lowered a bit.

"My father started as a small boy, and gradually expanded the business. My elder brother, who is more than ten years older than me, followed my father since he was a child, and slowly took over the family business. After I was born, the family The business has grown, and life has improved. My father always felt that doing business was inferior, so when I grew up, he let me study. He said that even if I could not pass the Jinshi exam, I would be honored if I could pass the exam. I don’t understand How can you be inferior to others if you do business? As the saying goes, if you don’t have business, you can’t get rich. Even if you become an official, how can you live a life as rich as you are now without corruption?”

"Young Master He is right, why didn't you tell your father?"

He Jiahao sighed, "Of course I said it, but every time I opened my mouth, my father said that the family business doesn't need me, I just need to study hard. In fact, I don't like studying at all, and being admitted as a scholar already depends on Luckily. I also like to do business, but my father always doesn’t believe me, saying that I am too young, that I am too honest, and I am not suitable for doing business. But I am not convinced, my father and elder brother have been in business since childhood, How come I can't do it anymore?"

"So you want to make a career to show them?"

"Yes!" He Jiahao raised his head, his eyes filled with determination, "I want them to see that I also know how to do business."

"Hmm. You have a good idea. I don't know if we need to publish a book, what procedures are required?" Zhang Chi saw the puzzlement in He Jiahao's eyes, and explained, "When publishing a book, do you need government approval and pay taxes? What."

"I have already inquired about this. As long as the book is not against the country, the yamen doesn't care. Taxes must be paid, but this is a trivial matter. I have already gone to the yamen to check."

Zhang Chi thought of his identity and dispelled his doubts.

"Okay, I'll work with you."

A look of joy immediately appeared on He Jiahao's face, "Thank you, Boss Zhang."

It's really not suitable to talk about business with such a happy face, but Zhang Chi likes it.He prefers simple people to slippery and sophisticated bosses.Moreover, He Jiahao is young and it is his first time to do business, so he will naturally have a sense of drive. He is not afraid of failure, after all, no one can succeed once.

"Mr. He, since we want to cooperate, don't call Boss Zhang so unfamiliar. It's better to call me by my name like at the beginning."

He Jiahao lowered his head and smiled, with a bit of embarrassment, "At first I thought you and... I had misunderstood, and I hoped that Boss Zhang Haihan."

Zhang Chi laughed heartily, "I don't care about it for a long time. I should be older than you, so how about calling you Brother He?"

"The relationship is good, so I'll call you Brother Zhang." He Jiahao continued to ask, "Brother Zhang, did you write this story yourself, or did you say I wrote it?"

Zhang Chi said frankly: "I said it's okay, but writing is not good, I say you write it!"

"Okay, then I'll come over early tomorrow morning."

He Jiahao meant what he said, and he came early the next morning, with a servant behind him holding a lot of paper and pens, which made Sun Zheng confused.

Zhang Chi saw it, Xindao young people are energetic!

He greeted He Jiahao with a smile, "Brother He, you are so early, have you eaten yet?"

He Jiahao looked at the breakfast on the table, his stomach rumbled, "Not yet."

"Then eat together!"

He Jiahao ate a simple breakfast with Zhang Chi and Sun Zheng, drank another pot of tea, and then followed Zhang Chi into the back room and started writing.

His job is very simple, Zhang Chi said, he wrote.

He wrote in lower case, although not as neat and elegant as Gu Xihe's, but his speed was very fast, and sometimes he would give suggestions to Zhang Chi's words.

Zhang Chi suddenly felt that he should listen to his advice.

"Brother He, what story do you think the guests like to hear more?"

"This..." He Jiahao put down his pen, thought about it, and said after a while, "Brother Zhang, please forgive me, your story of value is very attractive, because it can arouse people's curiosity, so it has a wide audience, whether it is Men, women, the elderly, and even children can listen to it. If it is only young people and women, they should prefer to listen to stories with emotional entanglements. I also want to tell you that if a book is published, it will be One is more attractive."

Zhang Chi nodded, "I understand."

It turns out that here is the same as in today's society. Young people like love stories.

After thinking about it, he understood what story he should tell today.

After writing for an hour, it was time for Zhang Chi to tell the story, Zhang Chi called to stop, and called He Jiahao to go out for tea and listen to the story.

Of course He Jiahao is willing, and he also wants to know what Zhang Chi's second story is about.

He Jiahao followed Zhang Chi to the lobby, and found that more than half of the people in the lobby were already waiting for Zhang Chi's new story.

Zhang Chi stood in front of the table and looked at the guests. Except for a few elderly people, most of them were middle-aged, and there were not many young people and women.He knew that this had something to do with the customs of this dynasty, and unmarried young women rarely went out.

He glanced at every guest in the teahouse with a smiling gaze as a greeting, and then he began to tell a new story.

This new story is the story of a knight-errant.

Zhang Chi is glad that he was a book-loving person before, not to mention reading all the martial arts novels, but those famous ones that are familiar to everyone, he has read eight if not ten.So he picked a martial arts novel with twists and turns and love stories between men and women and started to tell it.

To say that this author is worthy of being a master of martial arts novels, this novel is very popular in modern society, and it is the same in this era. Zhang Chi only spoke a short paragraph, and he captured the hearts of the guests.When Zhang Chi finished speaking, everyone didn't listen enough.

Someone shouted: "Zhang Chi, you've talked too little, talk more!"

Zhang Chi picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, "Brother Wang, you can continue to listen to it tomorrow! Anyway, you have signed up for a membership card, so I won't charge you. If you want me to talk again, my throat will start to smoke."

Everyone else laughed.

Zhang Chi made a joke, and said: "Mr. He and I decided to write the story we told before into a book. If you like it, you can register with me. When the book is printed, it will be sold to everyone first. With the book , Those who don’t listen to it every day can know the complete story after reading the book. And this book can not only be read by yourself, but also can be lent to others.”

He Jiahao didn't expect that Zhang Chi would actually mention this matter here, and thought again in a blink of an eye, this is a good way for people to understand.

"Publishing a book? It's a good idea. How much is it?"

Zhang Chi rubbed his nose and looked at He Jiahao, "The price is up to our Boss He to decide."

The guests looked at He Jiahao one after another, He Jiahao could only stand up, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, books are not expensive, so everyone can afford them."

"Great! Zhang Chi, please remember, I want a copy!"

"I want one too!"

"And I!"

For a while, several customers wanted to buy books.

Some guests asked: "Zhang Chi, will the story you told today be published?"

Zhang Chi glanced at He Jiahao, saw He Jiahao nodding repeatedly, and said, "If the first book sells well, I will consider publishing a second one."

"Great! I want this one too."

He Jiahao did not expect the guests to be so enthusiastic. He walked up to Zhang Chi and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, you really have a way."

Zhang Chi smiled, "The book is good, you have to keep up with the publicity!"

"What is propaganda?"

Seeing that He Jiahao didn't understand, Sun Zheng took the initiative to explain to him, "Propaganda means using many ways to let everyone know what you want everyone to know. For example..."

He Jiahao couldn't help looking at Zhang Chi, he didn't expect him to know so much.

"Hey, this teahouse is so lively!"

Zhang Chi raised his head and saw the person he really didn't want to see.

But Chen Guihua was his mother after all, he kept a smile on his face and walked out of the counter to greet her.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Chen Guihua's face sank, and she sneered, "Why, can't I come?"

"Of course not." Zhang Chi asked her to sit down on an empty chair, "Sit down, I'll make you tea right away."

Chen Guihua nodded, sat on the chair, and looked around.It's not bad here!It's warm and comfortable, I should come here more often in the future.

Zhang Chi didn't know what she was doing here, but he felt that there was nothing good about her coming.

Zhang Chi made tea and brought it to the table himself.

"Mom, you drink tea."

Chen Guihua saw that the tea hadn't been drunk, but said, "Why don't you have anything to eat today?"

Zhang Chi hurriedly called Sun Zheng to serve her some snacks.

Knowing that Chen Guihua was Zhang Chi's mother, Sun Zheng didn't dare to neglect, took two plates of snacks and put them on the table in front of her.

Chen Guihua ate two pieces of snacks and drank a cup of tea before she said, "Zhangchi, I think the business of your teahouse is getting better and better."

"Okay."

Zhang Chi is not modest. Although the business of the teahouse is good, it is not close to being prosperous.

"Then why hasn't the money for this month been given yet?"

"Money?" Zhang Chi was confused, "What money?"

Chen Guihua stared, "Why, do you want to deny it?"

"I really don't understand what money is? I remember that I don't owe you any money."

After hearing this, Chen Guihua laughed instead, "You really don't owe me any money, it's the money that Gu Xihe promised to give me."

"The money that Xihe promised to give?"

"what money?"

"What kind of money, of course, is your son's filial piety to your mother." Chen Guihua became impatient, "Okay, you hurry up and get the money, I have other things to do! I don't have time to talk to you here!"

A thought came to Zhang Chi's mind, and he asked, "How much did he promise to give you?"

"One tael of silver a month."

"One tael of silver a month? How is it possible?"

"How is it impossible? Are you wanting to go back on your word?" Chen Guihua howled as soon as she opened her mouth, "I didn't expect my own son to be inferior to an outsider! Gu Xihe gave it to me, but you didn't give it to me? You unfilial son Ah! Why am I so pitiful!"

Her howl attracted the suspicious eyes of many guests.Zhang Chi immediately understood what she meant, and deliberately picked a time when there were many people to come. If he didn't give her money, the business of the teahouse that she would interfere with would not be able to continue.

He smiled faintly, "Mother, it's not right for you to say that. Gu Xihe and I are in the same family. How can you say he is an outsider?"

Chen Guihua stopped immediately, looked at him and said, "Then get the money quickly!"

Zhang Chi looked at the lobby, and there were still five or six guests at this time.

"Okay, wait a minute."

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he got up and left his seat, and went back to the counter.

Chen Guihua thought he was taking the money, and took a sip of tea triumphantly.

Cui Jingshun naturally knew what kind of person Chen Guihua was, and when he saw him coming in, he sweated.Seeing Zhang Chi approaching at this moment, he asked in a low voice, "Zhang Chi, what is your mother doing here?"

Zhang Chi chuckled, "What are you here for? Of course I'm here to ask for money. Uncle Cui, you go back first, I'm here."

Cui Jingshun was worried, "Zhang Chi, she is your mother after all, the trouble is too ugly, it's not good for our teahouse's reputation."

Why doesn't Zhang Chi understand?

"Uncle Cui, I understand."

Cui Jingshun saw that Zhang Chi's face was still calm, thinking that this was his family business after all, he could only nod and left.

Seeing Cui Jingshun leaving, Zhang Chi waved to Sun Zheng, "Sun Zheng, go and apologize to the guests, tell them that today's tea is free, and ask them to leave first."

"Ah?" Sun Zheng's eyes widened, "Why?"

"Let you go, you go!"

"Oh."

"Remember to be polite. When they leave, close the door."

"Yes."

Sun Zheng looked at Shang Zhangchi's cold and stern gaze, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and did as he said.

Several guests were regular customers. After hearing Sun Zheng's words, they couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi stood behind the counter with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly. Then he looked at Chen Guihua, who sat beside him complacently, bowing his head and eating snacks. I have a guess, but I am embarrassed to keep it.

Soon, Chen Guihua was left alone in the lobby.
