Chapter 434 The head of the trading company!!!
Zhuang Zhou had already learned about it through Ural.
"Bian Que's Internal Classic" and "Bian Que's External Classic" have been lost to later generations.
The original has long been lost.
But now two ancient medical books are right in front of him.
But looking at the paper, you can tell that this must be an ancient book.
"Hongyu, are these all the original works written by Bian Que?"
Hongyu covered her mouth and laughed:
"Sir, how is this possible?"
Zhuang Zhou asked in confusion:
"How is it impossible?"
Seeing that he didn't react, Hongyu continued:
"Bian Que was a great doctor during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, records were kept on bamboo slips. How could there have been paper?"
Yup!
Zhuang Zhou slapped his forehead suddenly.
Paper was invented during the Western Han Dynasty.
Bian Que lived in the pre-Qin period.
It is impossible to write a medical book on paper.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou was a little disappointed:
"So was this copied by later generations?"
Hongyu nodded and said:
"Yes, but this is already a top-notch product."
"I see!"
Zhuang Zhou sighed softly, his heart was filled with excitement.
Although these are not authentic works of Bian Que, these two medical books contain the essence of medical skills.
It still carries the wisdom and experience of the ancients and is priceless.
Hongyu watched him quietly from the side, and seeing the young master's expression, she was secretly happy in her heart.
I am so happy to be able to do something for you!
“Sir, this Neijing has nine volumes, and Waijing has twelve volumes.
Do you like it, sir?"
"I like it, I like it so much!"
After hearing this, Zhuang Zhou showed a grateful smile:
"Ruby, you are so kind."
Hongyu lowered her head shyly and said softly:
"Sir, Hongyu feels honored to be able to work for you."
"By the way, Hongyu, I'm going to attend a singing party tonight. Will you come with me?"
"I know about the singing and selling show. I heard it's very lively. Sir, are you really willing to take me there?"
Upon hearing this, Hongyu also smiled happily and said:
"Of course, if you're willing to go."
……
Night gradually fell.
Accompanied by Hongyu, Zhuang Zhou took the little turtle and went to the singing and selling venue in a horse-drawn carriage.
Along the way, Zhuang Zhou was thinking about the value of medical books.
And what to do with it if we bring it back to modern times.
In order to maximize its value.
If it comes to selling it, Zhuang Zhou seems to be a little hesitant to do it.
Because he really doesn't need the money.
But I feel a little reluctant to give it to Guo Jia for free.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Zhuang Zhou looked up and saw a towering pavilion standing before him.
The solar lights are bright and the place is bustling with people.
"Have you arrived at the carnival?"
Zhuang Zhou asked in the carriage.
Niu Dali nodded and said:
"Yes, Mr. Zhuang, this is the largest auction house in Chang'an City - Tianbao Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhou got off the carriage with Hongyu.
Looking up, I saw the lights in front of Tianbao Pavilion were turned on, shining brightly.
There was a constant stream of guests, dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Waves of laughter and joy, mixed with the dazzling luster of gold, silver and jewelry, filled the night.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted to Zhuang Zhou:
"Mr. Zhuang, you are here!"
Zhuang Zhou heard the voice and looked over, and it was Ma San, with Ling'er following behind him.
At this time, he also bowed to Zhuang Zhoufu, and then ran to Hongyu.
"Let's go!"
Zhuang Zhou greeted him and then walked towards Tianbao Pavilion.
Tonight, he not only wants to find good things.
He also wants to let the merchants in Chang'an City see what his methods are!
There is an even different world inside Tianbao Pavilion.
Various treasures are displayed in the spacious hall.
From antique calligraphy and paintings to rare medicinal materials, the variety of exhibits is dazzling.
At this moment, a temporary singing and selling stage was being built in a corner of the hall, and the middle of the stage was empty.
It should be used to display the items for auction during the sales later.
Looking around!
At this time, Wang Zhigui came out from nowhere:
"Hey, County Master Zhuang, you're finally here. I'll take you to the private room!"
Zhuang Zhou asked in confusion:
"Isn't the concert about to start?
What are you doing in the private room?
Wang Zhigui shook his head and said:
"You are so informal!"
"what happened?"
Zhuang Zhou had no idea what Wang Zhigui meant.
Wang Zhigui said: "You are now the Earl of Zhuang County, how can you sit in the hall with ordinary merchants?"
"..."
"Well, you should just call me Mr. Zhuang! It sounds more friendly to me."
"Well, I'll give you a rough outline."
After chatting for a few sentences, Zhuang Zhou finally understood.
Came to attend the singing and selling party tonight.
Most of them are merchants from Kyoto.
Of course, there are also many aristocratic families.
In this era, according to the ranking of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants had the lowest status.
Merchants can have wealth but not status.
Even before that, merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examinations and become officials.
However, the policies are now gradually changing.
The status of merchants also gradually began to change.
It’s just for a while, but there is still some distinction.
For example, Zhuang Zhou is now a count.
Logically, you shouldn't sit together with a bunch of businessmen.
This is also the reason why Wang Zhigui took him to the private room alone.
For the sake of quietness, Zhuang Zhou did not refuse.
When we arrived at the private room, someone had already brewed good tea for us.
This is a really great location with a panoramic view.
Zhuang Zhou asked Hongyu and Ma San to sit together. At this time, Wang Zhigui said:
"County Master Zhuang, before the singing and selling show begins, I have one more thing to tell you."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"It is that Changan Trading Company has unanimously nominated you as the head of the trading company."
When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he was shocked.
"Head of a trading company? What does this mean?"
"It seems that Mr. Zhuang is really a forgetful person. He has forgotten everything completely!"
Wang Zhigui sighed, as if relieved:
"I discussed this with Mr. Qian, Manager Li, Mr. Wang, and Lu Silang, and Zhao Dewang.
Now the head of Changan Trading Company is no longer Zhao Dewang, but you."
Zhuang Zhou didn't expect that Changan Trading Company would act so quickly.
However, this is obviously intended to allow him to lead everyone in making money.
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but hesitate. He actually didn't want to get too involved in the disputes between merchants.
Because what he sold had no competitors in Chang'an City.
But on second thought, becoming the head of the group might also be beneficial to his future development in Chang'an City.
After all, there is more say.
In the future, handicraft workshops will be able to slowly open up the market.
Make overall industrial upgrades and transformations.
The power of merchants should not be underestimated.
Moreover, he can also take this opportunity to better plan the business of this era.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhou nodded and said:
"Since you are so kind, I will obey your orders."
Wang Zhigui was delighted when he heard this, and he quickly said:
"Mr. Zhuang is wise. With you as the head of the company, our Changan Trading Company will surely reach a higher level!"
Zhuang Zhou hummed and said:
"Do not worry!
I already have many business plans, and there will be a lot of business to do in the Tang Dynasty in the future!"
