Chapter 1945: A Few Words from Me

By the time everyone finished eating and slumped into their chairs, Meng Yunzheng had already returned with the account book in his hand.

He raised the account book, "I've calculated it. After deducting the costs, it's about the same profit as the last time in Dong'an Prefecture." It might even be slightly more.

After all, this time Master Yang and the others helped with a significant portion of the expenses.

Last time in Dong'an Prefecture, the primary initial investment was for the prizes used in the lottery. This time, it was the cost of advertising—fees for Jiang Fengshou's promotion and socializing. This sum of money wasn't small either.

There were also transportation costs, which made up a significant portion.

However, many of the transported goods were still in the warehouse and hadn't been sold. When calculating the profits, they would need to wait until everything was sold before knowing for sure. For now, they could only estimate.

But because the transportation was long-distance, items like Changjin Prefecture sunflower seeds and sunflower oil were slightly more expensive than those from Dong'an Prefecture.

After all, they were merchants and needed to make a profit.

Upon hearing Meng Yunzheng's words, Shu Yu was pleased. She immediately stood up, took the account book from his hands, and flipped through it to the final figures—it was indeed as he said.

She clapped her hands together, "The success of our opening this time is thanks to everyone's efforts. You've all worked hard."

Zhou Tiedong and the others quickly waved their hands, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Shu Yu smiled, "The biggest credit goes to Jiang Fengshou. He's responsible for everything from the initial planning to the execution of the promotions. With such results, he deserves credit. Let's applaud him."

Jiang Fengshou couldn't be more delighted. Just a while ago, he was as tired as a dead fish, but now he had stood up spiritedly and said, "boss is too kind. I dare not take full credit. However, since boss has said so, let me briefly share a few words of my experience."

The crowd, "..."

Shu Yu nodded, "Sure, go ahead and say a few words."

Jiang Fengshou, like Lu Sanzhu, deserved the chance to express himself.

With a cheerful tone, Jiang Fengshou began, "First of all, I must thank Boss for her keen judgment of people. If Boss hadn't entrusted me and allowed me the freedom to listen to books, watch plays, and even provided money for me to socialize boldly, I wouldn't have been able to come up with such a fitting... uh, what was it? Oh, right, the business plan. Secondly..."

"Alright, that's two sentences," Shu Yu waved her hand, "You can sit down now."

Jiang Fengshou looked incredulously at her, "Is that it? Isn't it supposed to be my chance to shine? After I praised you, it's over?"

"You said, 'briefly say a few words'," Shu Yu explained.

Other people burst into laughter, "I counted, that was two sentences."

"Shopkeeper speaks well, applause!" Meng Han couldn't help but applaud.

Jiang Fengshou sat down indignantly and took a fierce bite of the peach in his hand.

However, watching everyone chatting and laughing, he too started to smile. Today, he truly experienced both pain and joy.

He had been a shopkeeper before and had seen other shopkeepers, but none of them could be as free-spirited and enthusiastic as he was now.

Even though the boss was a county Princess, she didn't put on airs. What he said just now was heartfelt and sincere. The county Princess truly had a discerning eye. With his personality, if he were placed in another store, people would just think he was useless.

Back when he was at the Liu family store, he also had grand ambitions—to turn the Liu family's grocery store into a thriving business. For that, he had come up with numerous proposals and put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to make those proposals appear feasible.
