Chapter 55 I am with the spring breeze, you are with the autumn water
Chen Changan ignored Chen Shuting, he was a psychopath.
He ate a few steamed buns on the road. A few minutes later, a bus came back and Chen Changan went to check the vehicle again.
Chen Changan never gets tired of repeating this process.
Jiang Yueqing came out of the car and saw Chen Changan covered in sweat and sighed softly.
"Zhuangyuan, don't you feel ashamed to do these lowly jobs?"
Jiang Yueqing said this and handed her cup of water to Chen Changan.
Chen Changan was so thirsty that he drank the liquid in one gulp without even touching his lips.
He heaved a sigh of relief: "I am originally a pariah, why do I feel ashamed? Children of poor families have to grow up early."
Jiang Yueqing hesitated for a moment: "Does the King of Huainan... know?"
"What is my relationship with the King of Huainan?"
Chen Changan shook his head: "Sister, I've already said that I'm an orphan. Can you please stop mentioning the King of Huainan?"
"I just can't figure it out." Jiang Yueqing said curiously.
"With the support of the Huainan Palace, you will definitely not lack money, and you can study hard."
“Is it worth it just to spurt the moment?”
Chen Changan just chuckled.
Is he doing it out of spite?
No, the important thing is to escape from Chu State as soon as possible!
Seeing the bus coming back, Chen Changan smiled and said, "Sister, stop talking. I'm going to check the vehicle. See you later."
Chen Changan walked away, and Jiang Yueqing was confused.
"Wait a minute, little brother, we haven't talked about the serious business yet!"
"My mother read the poetry collection you gave me, and she said she wanted to invite you to dinner. Please do me a favor and give me some face."
Chen Changan hesitated for a moment and said, "I will personally thank you when the bus service on this route is running normally."
Jiang Yueqing shrugged, and Chen Changan finally agreed.
When she returned to the National Medical Hall, Chen Shuting was standing coldly in front of the window, watching the scenes.
"Yue Qing, do you know my ninth brother?"
Jiang Yueqing spread out her palms: "He came to see you before, of course I know him."
"It's best not to talk to the fool!"
Chen Shuting was furious: "He is good for nothing and can only frame others. He is complete trash and waste, not worth mentioning!"
"Be careful, he might lead you astray and ruin your reputation!"
Jiang Yueqing: “???”
She was keenly aware that Chen Changan and Chen Shuting might have some grudges.
After a moment's silence, Jiang Yueqing tried to untie the knot in her heart.
"Shu Ting, do you have any misunderstandings about Chen Changan?"
"He is not trash, not waste, but a real talent, and his poems are heartbreaking."
Jiang Yueqing handed the collection of poems to Chen Shuting.
"Look for yourself, at least you conquered me."
Chen Shuting took the poetry collection and glanced at it with contempt.
"Chang'an Miscellaneous Poems?"
"A fool is a fool. He can't even come up with a name!"
Jiang Yueqing shook her head: "There is something fishy going on inside."
Chen Shuting patiently opened it from the back and took a absent-minded look at it.
"Yue Qing, how can you watch such obscene songs?"
Jiang Yueqing's eyes widened. This was poetry, how could it be considered obscene?
"See for yourself!"
"I take care of customers with the spring breeze, and you take care of business with the autumn water!"
"You are clearly talking about a shameless prostitute. I won't read such poetry!"
Jiang Yueqing is speechless, okay!
How much resentment do you have towards Chen Changan that you can even see this wrongly?
They are all passers-by, so treat them as guests!
To embrace the stars is like to embrace a job!
We both studied at the Holy Son's Prison, so why is there such a big gap between you and me?
Jiang Yueqing put away the collection of poems as if it were a treasure, and said through gritted teeth: "Shu Ting, how old is your brother?"
"Sixteen, what's wrong?"
"I was wondering, what do you think we were doing when we were sixteen?"
Jiang Yueqing hinted, "That year, the imperial examination ended. Women could not serve as officials, so I traveled all over the country with my parents."
"I spent two years on the road, and only last year did I start practicing medicine at the National Medical Hall."
"But your brother launched the bus after his scientific expedition. This is a big money-making business. I heard that the advertising costs are very high."
"Apart from his talent, can this be considered trash or rubbish?"
Chen Shuting moved her lips but had nothing to say.
Yeah, what can she do?
Although the National Medical Hall makes a lot of money, King Huainan still has to subsidize her. Did she make any money?
As the two men were talking, they heard the words of an old doctor nearby.
"Yueqing, it's very expensive to put advertising on a car body. How did you know that?"
Jiang Yueqing and Chen Shuting stood up at the same time, bowed their heads and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Hua."
Mr. Hua's real name is Hua Fang, and he is said to be a descendant of Hua Tuo.
He is in charge of the National Medical Hall and is as famous as Jiang Yueqing's mother. He is not seeing patients now, but is responsible for promoting the National Medical Hall.
Hua Fang waved his hand, signaling Jiang Yueqing to tell him everything he knew.
"Chen Changan is amazing." Jiang Yueqing nodded.
"It only costs two copper coins to take the bus, but that's not his profit point at all."
"I heard that one car costs 80 taels of silver for advertising, and there are probably more than cars running in Jiangdu now."
"It can not only facilitate people's travel, but also make profits."
Chen Shuting was shocked!
She just found out that the advertising fee was 80 taels. How could it be so much?
If Jiang Yueqing’s statement is true, the advertising costs alone would be more than 24,000 taels per month!
"Eighty, eighty? Can this make back the money?"
"This is exactly what makes my stinky little brother so powerful."
Jiang Yueqing chuckled and said, "It is said that Yihongyuan invested a thousand taels of silver for the sake of King Huainan, which was enough to make 20 car body advertisements at that time."
“The input-output ratio is as high as one to four!”
"If Yihongyuan doesn't make money, how can she continue to invest?"
One to four!
This is a bit surprising.
"It's really amazing!" Hua Fang gave a thumbs up.
"I think I've seen a lot of business tricks, but Chen Changan made me look at him in a new light."
"good, very good, excellent!"
Hua Fang laughed and turned away.
Chen Changan is a talented person!
Jiang Yueqing was about to go back to see patients, Chen Shuting said unhappily.
"Isn't it just a few broken cars? What's so arrogant about it?"
"When this wave of popularity is over, he will definitely go bankrupt!"
"By the way, a carriage is worth a lot of money, and he has no money. Where did he get the starting capital?"
Chen Shuting seemed to have discovered something and said in surprise: "It was probably stolen from the Huainan Palace!"
"Humph, this fool, wait and see how I deal with him!"
Chen Shuting didn't even sit for the consultation, she hurried home to inform her father!
……
At night, Chen Changan and a few brothers sat there calculating their expenses.
Now there are more and more people working at Zhuangyuan Post Station, and the monthly salary alone is a thousand taels of silver.
The advertising costs seemed high, but a carriage also required money. After working so hard for so long, Chen Changan was in debt of more than 10,000 taels.
Chen Changan wiped the corner of his mouth: "Jingyi, tell the car dealer to use as much strength as possible!"
"Carriage, carriage, I just need a carriage!"
Sun Jingyi's scalp was tingling.
I already owe tens of thousands of taels of silver, and I can't pay it back even if I sell them!
"The carriage is being made. It's already here."
"The car dealership promised us that they could make another thousand cars, but they have to pay half the money, at least 70,000 or 80,000 taels."
"Brother, we have no money, we really have no money!"
What troubles Chen Changan is the capital.
This problem will have to be solved sooner or later.
"Leave the money to me. I'll go and solicit investment tomorrow."
Chen Changan did not dwell on this question for too long: "In terms of recruiting, we have already recruited more than 1,200 people?"
Li Zhaoyao, who was in charge of recruiting, smiled bitterly.
"Yes, twelve hundred, not less, not more!"
"Not only have we recruited the brothers and sisters from the Salesian House, but we have also recruited many beggars from the surrounding areas!"
"We only have 300 cars now, right... we don't accept beggars?"
