Urban economy

There were more than 500 stores in Xuqiao old street. There are many unwritten rules for merchants in the old streets. They follow the old saying that "if they have skills in business, they will prosper in business". When they recruit apprentices, they must set up a paper and wine shop for apprentices. The guarantors will draw a pledge and invite representatives of their peers to do the work. In addition to stating that the apprentice should not only listen to the master's discipline and devote himself to learning skills for three years, he should also emphasize the words like "the man is determined to go out of the country, and he will not return if he fails to learn the skills", so as to avoid humiliating the master's face if he fails to learn the skills well.

All businesses attach importance to customers. The boss will ask the shop assistants to always remember the principle of "customer first" and think about how to attract and receive customers. The boss also pays attention to tact when he dismisses a shop assistant. Generally, it opens on the eighth day of the first lunar month and entertains the shop assistant at a party on the seventh day of the first lunar month. If the boss is the chief executive, the shop assistant at the dinner party will know that there is no change. If the boss invites the shop assistant to the chief executive and offers a toast, the shop assistant at the chief executive will have to drink this muggy drink to find another way out.
