My father-in-law is Kangxi
Chapter 9
Chapter 9
It's not that Gui Dan didn't think about tampering, but whoever made the intention of marriage come down later, this tampering seems to be stingy, and he can only reluctantly cut his flesh.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but pay attention to Shu Shu and shopkeeper Hou's response. It was not only the old shopkeeper's respect for the young master, but also the obedience and respect from the inside out.
"Call the accountant to make a book...the finished jewelry should be stored in the warehouse first, and then we will find a way to deal with it..."
Looking at the several sets of jewelry displayed on the counter, Shu Shu understood the reason why Qianjinfang's business was not good.
The pursuit of high-end jewelry is mostly inlaid with gemstones and pearls, but the style is old, so they pay attention to "big". Big gems and big pearls are naturally expensive, but older women prefer pure gold jewelry. Will love the bulky style.
There are also bloated personnel. There are about [-] people in the small silver building, looking at the clothes, the shopkeeper and the accountant, and the rest are divided into buddies, nurses, and cooks. Among them, there are about ten guards and cooks. No. [-], the number of people is more than twice that of Shun'an Silver House, but it does not have its own craftsmen.
"Ge Ge, what should I do with this shop? Do other businesses, or continue to be a silver house?"
Shopkeeper Hou gave orders, and asked hesitantly, "The two shops are really too close. If you still operate as a bank, you should compete with yourself for business..."
Shu Shu thought for a while, glanced at Gui Dan, and said with a smile: "Separate the shop into two rooms, one with three rooms, and continue to build a silver building, mainly focusing on gold and silver jewelry...Separate thick bags and thin bags...The price is also high." Distinguish between high and low, which is higher than gilt jewelry..."
Shopkeeper Hou immediately understood, and his eyes lit up: "Gege is really a touch of gold, so it is different from the opposite side, and can be complementary... Beijing Zhongyinlou sells either gold and silver jewelry, or cheap copper-plated jewelry. Gold, copper and silver-gilt jewelry, there are really no gold-clad silver jewelry..."
As for why the big shop was split up, there was also a reason. This place is for middle and low-end jewelry, so the front door is naturally not as grand as the Shun'an Yinlou.
Brother Jiu couldn't hold his breath, so he didn't understand that he was wrong!
The Shun'an Silver Building is full of tricks. The "free cleaning" and "trade-in" are not the shrewdness of the shopkeeper, but Dong E's tricks!
Gui Dan also slapped himself hard on the head, annoyed: "Why didn't I think of using such a good idea before? If I used it, I would file a lawsuit. Isn't this bank business just started..."
Shu Shu couldn't help laughing, and told the shopkeeper: "We don't take advantage, we will pay 50 taels of gold, and thank Lord Gui for helping us come up with a good idea!"
Shopkeeper Hou responded, ordered gold ingots and brought them to Guidan.
Gui Dan's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, holding the gold ingot in both hands, as if in a dream, he looked pitifully at Brother Jiu: "Master Jiu, can the slave accept it? The family only gives the slave 60 taels a year... "
Brother Jiu blushed at this hopeless look, but he could also tell that Dong Eshi had taken a step back.
With this step back, the previous dispute between the two juniors is just a dispute for the face of Guo Luoluo's family. The formal reconciliation is over.
In the end, he was the only one to lose!
Thanks to his first estate!
The inside and outside are worth four or five thousand taels of silver!
But can he not nod?Are you really going to let the two have a rift?Or let the Dong E clan laugh at him for being stingy?
When others asked why, everyone would be ashamed.
Brother Nine nodded slowly, not knowing if he should hate Gui Dan for being stupid or hate the unruly Dong E family for being as cunning as a fox.
"Hey hey hey!" Gui Dan laughed foolishly as he hugged Jin Dingzi.
Shu Shu has already continued to instruct shopkeeper Hou: "The two doors that have been separated, clean up again, and make a teahouse first..."
The prosperous shop in the Drum Tower is naturally not comparable to Xisi Avenue. When you buy tea later, this is a ready-made tea house.
There is not enough time this year, and the capital is not enough, so we should raise money first, and send people out at the end of the year to prepare for the purchase of spring tea next year.
Although shopkeeper Hou didn't understand Shu Shu's plan, he felt that it was appropriate to change the teahouse. This cost was the least, and it would not cost a lot of money. It would be easy to return the shop or rent it out or change other businesses.
The shopkeeper of Qianjinfang waited for a long time, but no one paid attention to him. He couldn't help but prayed to Brother Jiu: "Master...the slaves..."
Only then did Brother Jiu see the shopkeeper, the accountant, and others standing all over the floor, and his eyes became a little more tangled.
It's okay for the boys and the like, but it's just dismissal, but the shopkeeper and the cashier are servants of Guo Luoluo's family. They were specially selected by my grandfather for me, and they all came from Shengjing with my family.
But I only have this property, where is there room for them?
Brother Nine coughed lightly, looked at Shu Shu, hoped that she would be more sensible, and temporarily resettled these people, no matter whether they stayed in the silver building or assigned to the teahouse.
But Shu Shu seemed to have never heard of it, and didn't talk to each other at all.
She is short of money, but she is reluctant to waste more money.
If the shopkeeper can be used, there is nothing to keep, but obviously it is not a usable one, otherwise the shop would not be run like this.
As for the accountant, there is no reason to use outsiders.
"It's easier to invite God than to send God away", it's better not to touch your hands at the beginning than to get stuck.
Brother Nine's face turned red with anger, and he couldn't speak soft words. Thinking of the previous speculation, he inexplicably felt that the hat was green, and asked tentatively: "I heard that Prince Kang Taifujin likes your niece the most. You go to the house, you...you don't think about Chuntai, do you?" The last sentence was lowered, and only two people heard it.
In the past few days, Brother Jiu is enough to inquire about Dong E's family and Shu Shu.
Dong E's family has been married to Prince Kang's mansion for generations, and each generation has a marriage. Shu Shu and Chun Tai have not formally discussed their marriage, but some vague news have spread before.
Even if Shu Shu is not willing to marry Brother Nine, she doesn't want to put herself as a scapegoat for being uncomfortable in the room, and said seriously: "If I have thoughts of a man and a woman towards my cousin, my aunt would have greeted the empress dowager, how could there be a marriage now?" ?”
Brother Jiu didn't feel happy when he heard it, but felt even more blocked.
Chun Tai has already attacked Prince He Shuokang, and with such an identity, the Dong E family is not willing to marry, so the one who is targeting is really the prince? !
Brother Nine left with a dark face, Shu Shu had nothing to worry about.
To put it bluntly, he is a brat, obedience is useless, it will only grow his temper the more he gets used to it, and he has to understand what is not easy to provoke, so that he can get the respect and dignity he deserves.
This is not the case between men and women, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Since Brother Nine is not polite, Shu Shu will not be merciful, and asked Fu Song to continue to stare at Gui Dan. Now that he has been in the customs for many years, the population of the Eight Banners has grown, but the shops in Beijing and the land in the suburbs of Beijing are limited. It is not easy to own property.
This time, Gui Dan has a long memory, and he does not hide it. In the name of Brother Jiu, he starts to search for shops in the city and villages in the suburbs, but he does not follow the market price, but lowers it by more than [-]% to [-]%. .Also because of the disadvantages he had with Dong E's family before, this bastard has a good eye, so he picks on the poor family.
No one's money came from the big wind, it was from the Eight Banners family, who didn't have a few respectable relatives, and they had to ask grandpa to sue grandma for delay.Dare not to sell it, afraid of offending the prince, and unwilling to sell it cheaply and suffer big losses.
Shu Shu was stared at by others, so naturally he was accurate, but he didn't lower the price, but traded according to the market price, which was already a big advantage.
There are three properties in total, one is a wine shop on Di'anmen Wai Street, with five fronts, two floors above and below, and a small courtyard behind it with eleven rooms, a total of 21 rooms, priced at 20 taels of silver; It is located in a small village in Haidian, with 360 mu, priced at 240 taels; in a Daxing village, with 640 mu of land, priced at 480 taels of silver.
But this third time, Shu Shu asked Brother Jiu to block him when he passed the Qi Daxing Dazhuang...
"Dong E, what the hell are you doing? I don't care about you, and you still put your nose on your face?"
Outside the yamen of the Ministry of Households, Brother Jiu hurried over with Gui Dan, but he was a step late, and the delivery was clear. He couldn't help but trembled all over, and said sharply: "Are you deliberately hitting the face of the master? Is it not enough to take the shop?" ? Do you have to mess with the Lord's business again and again?"
Shu Shu was originally smiling, but after hearing this, her small face immediately tensed up: "I would like to ask, what does Master Jiu want to do?"
"Huh? You bought the shop Zhuangzi, and it's the master's fault?" Brother Nine said angrily.
"The normal transaction at the market price has turned into a cut-off purchase? What is a half-price forced purchase? The prince's elder brother's face is only worth these few big words?" Shu Shu asked without answering.
"..."
Brother Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and glared at Gui Dan.
Gui Dan knelt down and said, "This...isn't it that all the money was put on Qianjinfang's account, and Da Gege took over, there is a lot of money left..."
Brother Jiu's face turned red, and it took him a long time to grit his teeth and curse: "I believe you again, you bastard, I am your grandson!" As he spoke, he looked at Shu Shu and said, "This time, I will take care of you..."
Where is the secret in this capital?Buying property at half price, if you really want to be honest, it is a bomb, maybe it will explode at some time, and you will lose face when the time comes.
"It's not necessary, but it's just because I'm worried that someone will act recklessly and ruin Master Jiu's reputation, so I made this unnecessary move...Now Master Jiu knows it well, just accept it at the original price..." Shu Shu breathed a lot more relaxed, waved his hands and said casually.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.If he hadn't been in a hurry and no one was available outside the palace, he wouldn't have known that Guidan was inappropriate and wouldn't have replaced him.
"The money was used in a hurry before, and I kept it from my family, but it was carried from the bank, and I got a quarter of the profit..." Fu Song behind Shu Shu hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "The delivery of this household is all on paper. If it gets out, it seems that Master Ninth is in vain ordering others to take advantage of my sister..."
Brother Nine was about to be laughed out of anger!
What's the meaning?Still want to increase the price?Or is Grandpa just a stingy person?
I really think the master is a fool! ?
