Chapter 200: Field Trips
Mrs. Wu also smiled: "That's right, just look at its thick hair, I touched it that day, okay, it's thicker than wool felt." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info often heard that there are flower bears in winter to go to the villagers' homes to cause trouble, if you are afraid of the cold, you have long been nested in the hole and refused to come out, how can you still have the strength to go down the mountain to steal chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep? ”
A few people were gossiping, and I don't know how long it took, but they felt that the carriage stopped, and then Jing Zexian said outside: "Sister-in-law, the Shanhai grocery store has arrived." ”
Xiao Rolling woke up in shock, turned over neatly from the crook of Fang Caiwei's arm, and turned his head with a vigilant face. Fang Caiwei was busy touching it, and then helped Bisi's hand to get out of the carriage, and just looked up, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Second brother, did you bring me to the Shanhai grocery store? Are you sure you're not coming to Shanhaiguan? ”
Jing Zexian scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's indeed a mountain and sea grocery store, sister-in-law doesn't believe it, look at the signboard on it." ”
Fang Caiwei followed the gaze of his fingers, and sure enough, he saw that under the eaves of a huge shop, there was a signboard of "Shanhai Grocery Store", which had been covered with dust, and no one had wiped it for at least a year.
"No wonder...... No wonder the old man said that this grocery store has been losing money year after year, in this environment, what is a loss? can support it until now, it has not gone out of business, and it is already the honest and loyal shopkeeper. ”
Fang Caiwei muttered and exclaimed, behind this mountain and sea grocery store is a lonely mountain, about two or three hundred meters above sea level, there is no one within a few hundred meters around, and a few hundred meters away, this grass house and that stone house are composed of a very small living place, which looks similar to a slum. What is it to open a grocery store in such a place and not wait for it to go out of business? Sure enough, the master and the wife are leaders who don't understand anything, they just think that the shop is going to make money, and they suspect that this Shanhai grocery store always loses money, is there a problem with the shopkeeper's work, but Fang Caiwei feels: Even if the shopkeepers of other shops in the Hou Mansion have problems, there is no problem in this shop, why? Because the shopkeepers here are like rats in an empty granary, and if they want to corrupt and report false accounts, they have to have money to operate them. Right here, what can I sell?
When Jing Zexian heard this, he nodded again and again as if he met a bosom friend: "Isn't it?" It can be seen that the sister-in-law still has a vision. The shopkeeper here is a friend of mine, and his wife are guarding this grocery store, I know their temperament, the most loyal and honest people, it is impossible to fill their pockets, but the business of this shop is not good, the location is not good, who is to blame? I told my dad that he blamed me for not knowing how to operate. ”
Fang Caiwei looked around, she was a knowledgeable person, her heart moved, and she already had an idea, so she smiled and said: "Second brother, don't be dissatisfied, you and the couple you are looking for are undoubtedly loyal, but if you talk about business, you are indeed not the material in this industry." ”
Jing Zexian scratched his head, and said with a smile: "What my sister-in-law said couldn't be more true, I wasn't interested in these in the first place, and I was driven to the shelves by the master, so I really can't help it." I just ask my sister-in-law to work harder, when you take over all the shops in the house, I will be relieved and can concentrate on doing what I like. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Wu and Bisi behind Fang Caiwei rolled their eyes, and secretly said Okay, our second master is really a model of no ambition, whose children are not desperately holding the power and wealth in their hands, and taking away his wealth is like asking for his life, this master is good, Ba can't give it away.
While thinking about it, she saw Fang Caiwei nodding with a smile, and said with great ambition: "Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, you can concentrate on your inventions." If nothing else, as long as this large waterwheel can be studied, it will be a great achievement. ”
While talking, the group in his arms saw this vast world, he couldn't bear it anymore, desperately broke free from Fang Caiwei's arms, jumped to the ground with a cry of joy, fell to the sky on all fours, and then got up and ran into the distance, Fang Caiwei hurriedly said: "Bess, you follow, it's okay to play crazy, don't let it run away." ”
Hearing this, Bess hurriedly chased after her, and here Fang Caiwei looked around, and said to herself: "There are probably more than a hundred families here......
Without waiting to finish speaking, he listened to Jing Zexian: "I'm afraid it's more than that, otherwise this shop would have closed down a long time ago." If it is a prosperous area, more than 100 is enough for a shop to make a lot of money, firewood, rice, oil and salt, needles and threads, who can leave? If you can open a noble store in the place where the rich and noble live, the profit will be even more amazing. We are far away from the prosperous area, and the people who have fled and the poor have lived here for many years, and gradually some people who have spare money will not come, so the business is becoming more and more difficult. ”
Fang Caiwei nodded, thought about it in her heart, and asked Jing Zexian: "If you buy all these people's houses and level them here, how much does it cost for the second brother?" ”
Jing Zexian was startled, looked around, and said blankly: "Although they are all poor houses, if you want to buy them all, you can't do it without thousands of eight hundred silver, right?" Could it be that my sister-in-law wants to use strong means? This is absolutely unacceptable. The old lady has the most important reputation, especially now that the eldest sister has just resumed her position in the palace, and the eldest brother has just gone to Beijing to take up her post, we can't do that rampant and domineering thing. ”
"Who said I'm going to demolish?" Fang Caiwei smiled, thinking in her heart, she had to regret giving up the first plan. Now the weaving factory has not yet started construction, building factories, buying raw materials for machinery, recruiting workers, these are all money. With the Hou Mansion's little family background, although the previous emperor rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, but at the same time to carry out the major renovation of the two shops, this money is a little stretched, for the sake of safety, or only the weaving factory one lane, here, a small rectification, the goal of turning losses into profits is achieved. ”
walked around the shop, and then came to the shop, Jing Zexian introduced the shopkeeper and his wife to Fang Caiwei, it was really two honest people, after listening to Jing Zexian's words, he knew that the person in charge of the shop had been replaced by Fang Caiwei, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking that he didn't know if he could keep this job.
Fang Caiwei wanted to come to the account book and turn it over carefully, nodding in her heart, although these two couples have no business skills, they are indeed honest and honest, the ancient people did not have so much business competition and conspiracy, these two people are enough to implement their follow-up plans. So he gave them a few words of encouragement, let them do things with peace of mind, and went out to leave.
Jing Zexian doesn't know what kind of way this sister-in-law has to come back to life, looking at her like this, it is clear that she is just watching the flowers, what good idea can she come up with? So even if he's not interested in doing business, he can't help but be very curious at this time.
