Chapter 296 Business
Chapter 296 Business
Seeing Chen Cheng remaining silent, the fat man thought that Chen Cheng did not agree.
He immediately said with a pleading look:
"This is also the first batch of firearms produced according to the drawings you provided. It's like your child. As a father, you have to go and take a look."
Looking at the little fat boy's blinking eyes and his somewhat corny words, Chen Cheng couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.
"Okay, okay, stop disgusting me. These things are not good babies. They are used to kill people, and they kill a large number of people at a time. I don't have such children."
Thinking that his child was a demon representing killing and death, Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill throughout his body.
The fat man didn't expect that Chen Cheng would not buy it. It seems that empty talk doesn't work, so he can only use practical things.
But thinking that he was just asking Chen Cheng to take a look and check it, and then he would have to spend money, the fat guy felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.
However, the fat man did not know that in Chen Cheng's previous life, with Chen Cheng's identity, any factory that could invite him to visit would have to pay a starting fee of six figures, and if he was asked to give his opinions, the price would be close to seven figures.
The production process of the Fatty's factory was entirely designed by Chen Cheng. In his previous life, this would have cost the Fatty hundreds of millions of dollars.
I originally wanted to ask Isabelle for leave and take some time to go with the fat guy.
But when he saw the bleeding expression on the fat boy's face, Chen Cheng immediately stopped what he was about to say.
When the little fat man saw Chen Cheng looking at him like this, he gritted his teeth and said:
"How about this? I'll ask you to come as a consultant. If there's a problem, and you come up with a solution, I'll pay you a fee. Even if there's nothing wrong, I'll still pay you a fee as a consultant fee."
Chen Cheng patted the little fat man on the shoulder and said:
"Don't just think about making money and not spending it all the time, otherwise you'd be a real profiteer. Sometimes you have to spend the money you should spend, and there's no need to spend the money you shouldn't spend.
The production of this weapon is none of your business. You just need to sign a purchase order for explosives with the Count and then deliver the goods on time with guaranteed quality and quantity.
As for the production of this weapon, that is the business of Ximov and his team. If they make a mistake in production and cannot solve the problem, then their boss, Earl Huidun, will cause trouble for them."
This time, Chen Cheng also had good intentions in giving the fat boy some advice and told him to broaden his horizons.
Although they have a cooperative and even dependent relationship with Earl Huidun, they still have to abide by the rules. Otherwise, this chaos will cause problems over time, especially it will breed corruption.
Bruce did a very good job in this regard. He only cared about the few businesses and exchanges he cooperated with Huidun, and he didn't care about anything else.
"Okay, don't think too much. I just want to tell you not to get involved in things that are not your business. You shouldn't pay for this money. You should ask Ximov and the others for it."
As he said that, Chen Cheng pulled the fat boy to the tutor's office.
At this moment in the office, Isabel was holding the lesson plan, while Rusov was standing in front of her with his head down.
When Chen Cheng and the other man arrived, they heard Isabel's angry words:
"It was you who proposed the fight with Rusov, and you also signed the gambling agreement. Now you want to deny it, and you even want to instigate the teacher to deny it. You have a moral problem.
I will report this to your father."
After saying that, Isabel took the case file and left the office.
Then she saw Chen Cheng and the other man who had just arrived outside the door.
At this time, Chen Cheng and the other man looked at Isabel's very ugly expression. They wanted to ask for leave, but were immediately suppressed by Isabel's aura.
Chen Cheng pulled the fat man behind him and asked him to speak, but Chen Cheng didn't dare to offend Isabel at this time.
And Isabelle had just been approached by Rusov, who wanted to bribe her with money so that she would not admit to the bet between him and Adalin.
This already made Isabel very angry.
And now seeing a fat boy who doesn't learn good things but only tries to learn some mediocre business skills, she is really furious.
"Acasto, are you going to continue studying here? If not, drop out now. Don't use your status as a college student to do business outside.
Don't just follow your father. If you can concentrate on studying in the academy, you will have a bright future. Maybe you can become a nobleman in the future instead of a merchant who is driven by the nobles at will."
What Isabel said was indeed hurtful, but that was the general environment and businessmen were looked down upon.
And what Isabel said was also for the good of the little fat boy, because the little fat boy still has a talent for magic, otherwise the irresponsible teacher would not care so much about him.
However, the fat boy's dream since childhood was to become a big businessman like or even surpass his father, and Isabel's words undoubtedly touched his soft spot.
How could Chen Cheng, who had been with the fat boy for such a long time, not guess what he was thinking? He knew that this guy just wanted to be a big businessman.
So he glared at Ishabel without hesitation and said:
“Teacher, don’t look down on merchants. If there were no merchants to sell goods, believe it or not, our entire Huidun territory would become lifeless in a short time.
It is also about national taxation. Do you know how much taxation businessmen can provide to the country every year?
All in all, taxes involving businessmen account for half of the country's annual tax revenue.
Without these merchants, the national market will wither and commercial tax revenue will be cut in half. A country without money cannot develop its army, and without an army it will be bullied or even invaded and annexed by other countries.
Teacher, do you still think that businessmen are useless and lowly? "
Chen Cheng lived in an era of prosperous business. In his time, society was inseparable from business. Even the ruling class's definition of politics was that of a superstructure based on the economy.
After hearing what Chen Cheng said, Isabel was speechless.
Although Chen Cheng's bringing the business of the previous life into this world is a bit of a substitution of concepts, what Chen Cheng said is not too wrong.
As for the kingdom's policies in recent years, they have all been inclined towards domestic development, and the primary focus of development is to boost the economy and boost trade.
This is also why Princess Phipsa wants to take the position of Minister of National Finance.
Of course, to say that the importance of commerce in this world can really be compared with that in Chen Cheng's previous life is also an exaggeration by Chen Cheng.
The lives of people in this world as a whole are low-desire. Most people only think about filling their stomachs, and their other consumption desires are not strong.
The reason why Brusiu can make so much money is that the customers of his business are all nobles from all over the world. They have time and money, as well as the desire to consume.
If Brusiu were to do the business of the lower class, he might as well resell grain instead of making cloth and perfume.
