Chapter 1196 Sun Dingnan is the Financial Director
So Mr. Wang inexplicably took over the construction of the guano business.
Master Wang asked in confusion, "Sir, why did you leave the task of building the workshop to me?"
Damn it! He is a very busy man, how can he have time to take on this project!
Of course this is not the most important thing. The problem is that there is no benefit at all from taking on this "project".
Because Lord Sun sent his steward to assist, and the start-up capital was not in his hands.
If you need money, you can ask Sun Dingnan for it. How can you make money like this?
Not only did I not do a good job, but I was also being watched by a group of people.
This is a job that will only get you into trouble, and Mr. Wang is not interested in it at all.
Mr. Wang continued, "Sir, you should ask someone else to do this job. It's almost the New Year and I have a lot of things to do."
Sun Shan said calmly, "I have discussed this matter with County Magistrate Wang. After much thought, we both think that you are the best person to handle it. You are the only one in the entire Yuanlu County who can handle this."
Mr. Wang was stunned.
Why did the eldest brother get involved? It would be fine if he got involved, but why did they push him out?
This shouldn't be the case. Big brother is not that kind of person!
Mr. Wang expressed his disbelief and glanced at Sun Shan with suspicion.
I thought to myself: Lord Sun wouldn't lie, right? Once I get back and think about this, I'll find out. Lord Sun is an official appointed by the imperial court, so he wouldn't lie with his eyes open, right?
Could it be that Big Brother really asked him to do it? Could it be that Big Brother had his own reasons?
Or is it that there are secrets involved in building the workshop, so you asked him to do it?
Mr. Wang thought about a hundred thousand questions and wished he could run back immediately to ask County Magistrate Wang in person.
Sun Shan said calmly, "Master Wang, apart from the government, you and my brother share the most in the guano business. As for my brother, he is a dull person who only knows how to work hard. He doesn't know anything about business. You are the only one left."
You have the most profit, the strongest ability, the widest network, and the most experience. Well, there is no other way. The more capable, the more work. Regarding the matter of building a workshop, after looking around, County Magistrate Wang and I both think that you are the most suitable. "
Mr. Wang: ...
What your brother? That's you!
It is obvious that you have the most benefits, the strongest abilities, the most power, and are the most cunning.
If anything should be done, it should be done by you, the county magistrate!
Good job, Lord Sun, you are telling lies with your eyes open!
Sun Shan smiled as gently as ever and said, "Master Wang, it's settled. I'll arrange for Butler Sun to assist you."
Then he continued, "By the way, we need to build the workshop as soon as possible. It must be completed within a month. After it is built, the guano must be produced immediately so that it can be ready for next year's spring ploughing."
Then he said, "Master Wang, you have a lot of land, and you are also waiting for the use of guano, right? Not only you, but also the people of Yuanlu are waiting for it."
Mr. Wang stared at Sun Shan with eyes wide open.
I really want to say: My fields don’t need bird droppings!
But the facts are indeed waiting to be used.
As long as it is used, we can double the amount of food.
The common people might still be skeptical, wavering between using guano or not, but Mr. Wang was a firm believer in the use of guano.
If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't have invested so actively in guano.
When Mr. Wang saw the endless bird droppings with his own eyes, he was convinced that Sun Shan's experiment would be successful.
Given such a strange phenomenon, it is not surprising that grain production has increased.
This is called a miracle.
As the largest wealthy family in Yuanlu, they have the most profits and the most land. With so many huge pressures coming their way, what else can Mr. Wang say?
If he were not the person involved, Mr. Wang would even appreciate Sun Shan's arrangement.
This person is really the right one to find.
If time permits, Sun Shan can build the factory slowly and explore on his own.
When the problem is that the project needs urgent use, it is more appropriate to find a local with the strongest local network to do the job.
Mr. Wang looked at Sun Shan and thought that since his elder brother had agreed for some reason, he couldn't refuse.
Mr. Wang had no choice but to say, "Sir, I will do my best. If it doesn't work out, don't blame me!"
Anyone who dares to promise to do a job well must leave a way out for himself.
Sun Shan patted Master Wang on the shoulder and said with an expression that said "I believe you" on his face: "Master Wang, I believe you can do it. I'll be waiting for your good news at the government office."
Sun Shan went to see County Magistrate Wang first, and then went to see Master Wang. The two brothers went in different directions and had no time to discuss anything.
Haha, this is the style of doing things we want.
After seeing Mr. Wang off, Sun Dingnan hesitated, wanting to speak but not daring to.
Gui Ge'er's eyes swam around and he asked curiously, "Brother Nan, what are you doing? Just say what you want to say."
He looked constipated and even a blind man could tell that he was worried.
Sun Shan knew what Sun Dingnan was thinking without asking.
He said comfortingly: "Brother Nan, this is a good opportunity to learn. Follow Master Wang and learn from him. See how he does things. Watch carefully and come back to tell us."
Appointing Sun Dingnan as the financial director is indeed a heavy task. But as the housekeeper, who else would do it if not him?
Sun Dingnan had almost no experience in working independently. This time, the construction of the factory involved various industries and aspects, and asking Sun Dingnan to follow up was clearly an opportunity.
If you want to go further, you have to go through a lot of things.
Now that the opportunity has been given to Sun Dingnan, whether he can become a qualified official steward depends on his luck.
Sun Dingnan said anxiously, "Master, you give me 3000 taels. I, I, I have never held so much money. I, I, I am a little scared."
Before Sun Shan could say anything, Gui Ge'er said, "Brother Nan, it's only 3000 taels. What's there to be afraid of? Last time, Brother Shan made 5000 taels."
Gui Ge'er felt that Sun Dingnan was too timid. What was the big deal about a mere 3000 taels? He didn't seem to be nervous when he was given 5000 taels last time.
Sun Dingnan looked at Gui Ge'er helplessly.
How is this the same?
The 5000 taels of silver did indeed blind his eyes, but at that time Sun Shan was in charge, so he just took a look.
This time, the silver was directly handed to him, and he was asked to approve the money for Mr. Wang. It was up to him to decide.
What if he made a mistake, what if he was cheated by Master Wang, how could he face the master?
Sun Shan said comfortingly, "Brother Nan, don't be afraid. I will send Steward Wang to assist you in this matter. If you really don't understand, go to the master. If you really don't understand, go to me."
After a pause, he continued, "You can also ask the Sun family guards to run errands for you. We have so many people standing behind you to assist you in your work. You must have confidence. Even if you don't trust yourself, you must trust us."
Sun Shan patted Sun Dingnan on the shoulder and said with an "I believe you" look on his face: "Brother Nan, work hard. There will be rewards for good work!"
Sun Dingnan knew that such a big thing was entrusted to him because he trusted him and wanted to cultivate him.
To become a qualified butler, you must be bold and not shrink back.
Sun Dingnan encouraged himself and said, "Master, I will do my best!"
