Chapter 158: Two Flowers Bloom

Wenyu is younger, only fourteen, like Sirou, they are both sons of Enhou Mansion, after Ling Fei won this courtyard, the two were selected and sent over by Mrs. Enhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Although it is a separate courtyard, when Ling Fei was in the royal capital, he also settled here for several months of the year, so this errand was also coveted by many maids in the house.

"I said that it was the cousin of the young master Zhang, and I don't know about the rest. After Sirou said a word, she walked into the house.

Wen Yu thought about it, and suddenly smiled and lowered her voice: "Did you hear what the maid said......?

"What is so funny about the fact that you haven't seen the world from a small family?" Although Sirou was reproaching on her lips, she also had a smile on her face, "The chief steward has explained, the young master values these guests, you can be careful, something goes wrong, I don't care." ”

"Yes, the young master hasn't been here yet. Asking Yu didn't have much bad intentions, but she was naΓ―ve, listening to Sirou say this, she also felt reasonable, and reminded herself in her heart, and suddenly thought of a little, she was a little novel, "By the way, have you seen it? You look a little similar to that Shen girl!"

"Who's like whom? Who's like whom, go back to your house quickly, and I'll rest for a while." ”

Sirou sent her out.

Wenyu grinned, didn't get angry, and left.

At this end, Shen Nishang washed up, changed her clothes, and followed the maid who passed the meal to the front hall.

The three of Ling Fei also changed their clothes and were already seated.

After eating, Ling Fei waved his hand to let the people who were waiting for him retreat, looked at Shen Nishang and Zhang Shaohan and said, "Mu Qing and I will enter the palace in the afternoon, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Shaohan looked at Shen Nishang, Shen Nishang had a plan: "Shaohan and I will go to the street in the afternoon to have a look." ”

It's not easy to come to the king, so it's naturally the most important thing.

The four of them agreed and went their separate ways.

Mu Qing entered the palace with Ling Fei, while Shen Nishang and Zhang Shaohan were driven by Kong Xiang, accompanied by a small fan.

When they arrived at the busy road, Shen Nishang stopped the carriage and the two got off.

The little fan jumped down from the front of the car: "Miss Shen, where are we going?"

Shen Nishang thought for a while and asked Zhang Shaohan: "Do you know which firms in Wangdu have a better reputation?"

Zhang Shaohan smiled when he heard this, and casually reported the names of several firms.

"It seems that Shaohan and I have a place with me. Shen Nishang also chuckled.

The little fan didn't know why, and followed the two forward.

At the door of the first commercial bank, after the two went in to consult, they rushed to the next commercial bank, and after walking through the several commercial houses mentioned by Zhang Shaohan, Shen Nishang had a plan in his heart, and selected three of the several commercial banks with relatively fair prices and sufficient quantities, and paid the deposit and signed the supply agreement.

Only then did the little fan understand, and couldn't help smacking his tongue: "100,000 taels of goods - Miss Shen, this is too much, can we use so many spices?"

Shen Nishang paid a deposit of nearly 30,000 taels, and set a total price of nearly 100,000 taels of raw materials, and before the opening, he had purchased more than 30,000 raw materials.

Shen Nishang smiled and didn't say much, just nodded: "It won't be much." ”

Her earlier guesses weren't wrong.

The incense industry is extremely profitable, and because of the huge profits, the private competition is also extremely fierce.

Don't forget that it has been open for two months, and now several commercial houses in Yunzhou have not been able to order goods a month ago. Even if they paid a deposit in advance and wanted to receive the goods in the second half of the year, the comptoir said that there was none. Zhang Shaohan ordered some goods in Qicheng, but the variety and quantity were not enough to support the production later.

Yunzhou's incense industry peers have obviously made a move in private, and now that the branch in Wangdu has not yet opened, it is natural to replenish the volume of goods first. Of course, compared with Yunzhou and Qicheng, the price of raw materials is much more expensive, but compared with the final profit ratio, it is still acceptable.

At present, their raw material reserves are enough to supply only the current two branches until next year, but if they want to continue to open branches, they will soon be stretched thin.

Zhang Shaohan obviously thought of this earlier, so he did his homework early, and selected commercial firms with good reputations in the industry and sufficient supply capacity in spices as alternatives.

After silently calculating in his heart, Zhang Shaohan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Within a year and a half, there should be no worries." ”

Even if two more branches are opened, it should be enough, and even if there are shortcomings, it will be a single variety at most, and it will be a good idea at that time.

Shen Nishang smiled.

The little fan heard it in a fog, looking at Zhang Shaohan and Shen Nisheng's tacit understanding, and felt a little drumming for his young master.

Miss Shen seems to be very compatible with this young owner?

Although Mu Qing has never told him, he has been following Mu Qing since he was nine years old, and he is not too familiar with Mu Qing's habits.

After going through the next one by one, I can't see Mu Qing's mind anymore, where is he still worthy of being the number one follower?

"Miss Shen, where are we going next?" he squeezed between the two with a grin, blocking Shen Nisheng's gaze at Zhang Shaohan.

Shen Nishang naturally didn't notice the little fan's careful thoughts, but Zhang Shaohan looked at the two people who were talking, lowered his gaze, and then raised it with a faint and gentle smile, calm as usual.

"Feel free to walk around. Solving a big thing, Shen Nishang was also in a happy mood, and bypassed the small fan, "You have been here before, do you have a draft in your heart?"

Zhang Shaohan replied very naturally: "There are a few suitable places, but you still have to try your luck." After a pause, he said with a smile, "The king is not more than the place, I'm afraid it will take a little more effort to look at the luck road." ”

Shen Nishang also smiled and bowed her head.

The little fan looked at this and looked at it, and he was worried, he couldn't understand what these two people were saying.

After the two finished speaking, they got into the carriage and walked towards the section of the road where Zhang Shaohan and Kong Xiang had confessed.

Shen Nishang and Zhang Shaohan each occupied one side of the window, allowing Kong Xiang to slow down, and the two looked all the way to find a suitable position. However, after several streets, I did not find a single store that showed signs of changing hands.

In the end, the two had to inquire about the news and find a Chinese person, who had two shops in their hands that were ready to change hands, but after following to see, the location of a house would be too small, less than one-third of the size of Yunzhou, which was completely inappropriate. The other was originally a restaurant, but the place was enough but it was in a very remote location, and it was originally planned to change hands because the location was not good and the business could not continue.

But even in these two shops, the price offered by the seller is a staggering amount.

Seeing that the two were not satisfied, the Chinese proposed that the two of them rent, saying that he still had a few suitable shops in his hand for rent.

Shen Nishang thought about it for a while but refused.

Wang is no other than other places, if she does not take the title deed in her own hands, she can not rest assured.

Zhang Shaohan estimated that it was not easy to find a shop in Wangdu, but he didn't expect that the real difficulty exceeded his expectations, at least in terms of price, it was much higher than the market he knew a few years ago.

However, this is not afraid of this, the price increase of the store indicates that the business is prosperous, and in the end, the wool is always out of the sheep, and the business is good to do The local purchasing power is strong, and the store will increase in price and there is no market.

But again, it is much more difficult for them to find a shop that they like.

I was tired after walking for a long time, looking at Shen Nisheng's slightly pink cheeks, Zhang Shaohan saw a teahouse in front of him, and his face was exquisite, clean and magnificent: "Go sit down, don't worry." ”

Shen Ni bowed, and the three of them entered this teahouse called Hefeng Lou, and did not go to the box, but directly found a window seat in the lobby.

At this time, the hour is close to the end of the Shen hour, and it will not be long before it is dinner time, and there are not many guests in the teahouse.

After the guy served the tea, there was a plate of dim sum, and the little fan looked at the dim sum and was stunned, and called out to the guy and asked, "It's wrong, we don't have a snack." ”

The guy smiled and explained: "Don't worry about the guest officer, the dim sum is delivered, and the guest officer doesn't need to pay." ”

Even Zhang Shaohan was strange this time.

The amount of dim sum is not much, three pieces per plate, exactly one piece per person, but even if the amount is small, the cost is a lot for the teahouse.

No matter how good Wangdu's business is, there is no such generous reason.

"What's the happy event for the owner?" asked Zhang Shaohan with a smile.

"A few of them are from out of town. Before the guy could speak, someone at the table next to him spoke, Shen Nishang and the three of them looked over, and the middle-aged man sitting alone smiled and teased, "The owner of Hefeng Lou is surnamed Zhao, and the lady of the Zhao family gave birth to nine sons and a daughter, and now that the girl is pregnant with a precious child, she is naturally happy, and if she is born in a few months, it will not only be happy, but also a big joy - man, am I right?"

As he spoke, he looked at the fellow, jokingly.

The guy laughed and nodded: "Accept your noble words, accept your noble words." ”

The owner's daughter is pregnant?

Shen Nishang and Zhang Shaohan glanced at each other, and they both smiled dumbly, only to feel that Wang Du was really different from other places, and he didn't know what kind of noble fetus was so expensive.

Probably seeing the expressions of the two, the middle-aged man was just bored sitting alone, he changed to the position behind Zhang Shaohan and asked with a smile: "How many people are not from the royal capital, right?"

Zhang Shaohan did not refuse to be thousands of miles away, and nodded with a smile: "We are indeed from other places, we have just arrived in the royal capital, I don't know what to call Brother Tai?"

"The surname Wang, how many of them are back to the royal capital?" The man surnamed Wang was also a familiar man, and soon greeted Zhang Shaohan back and forth.

Seeing that Shen Nishang was silent, the little fan also drank tea and pricked up his ears to listen to the chatter between the two.

After chatting, the two have already called brothers and brothers familiar as if they have been friends for many years, seeing that the time is about the same, the man surnamed Wang got up to say goodbye and prepare for the account, Zhang Shaohan wrote the account on his account quickly and neatly, the man surnamed Wang refused, and when Zhang Shaohan sent the person to the door, the two talked for a while, Zhang Shaohan turned around and showed a little joy.

"What's wrong?" asked Shen Nishang curiously.

The conversation between the two of them revolves around the relationship between the owner of Hefenglou and the Mi family, although the man surnamed Wang lowered his voice and gossiped about it, but it is not that he can't talk about the privacy of outsiders, and since Hefenglou is making a lot of fanfare this time, he is naturally not afraid of people talking.

At this time, Zhang Shaohan was happy, it should be that the man surnamed Wang said something else.

Sure enough, Zhang Shaohan sat down and lowered his voice: "The shop should be somewhat settled." ”

That's good news.

Shen Nishang's eyes were also pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Zhang Shaohan smiled and bowed his head, seeing that there were no guests left and right, he whispered.

Just went out, the man surnamed Wang asked, Zhang Shaohan mentioned that he planned to come to Wangdu to do business and wanted to buy a shop, and the man surnamed Wang happened to know a store that was about to change hands.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ On Suzaku Street, it was originally a silver building, saying that it was the dowry shop in the side room of the second master of the Qi family, and the side room passed away half a year ago, and the shop fell into the hands of her son. Zhang Shaohan said.

The location of Vermilion Bird Street is excellent, they also went to go there earlier, there seems to be only one silver building on Vermilion Bird Street, Shen Nishang thought about it: "But that Ruyi Silver Building?"

"Not bad. Zhang Shaohan smiled and said in a low voice, "The Qi family is also a scholar family, although it is not as good as the other scholars, but it can be regarded as second-rate. That Fifth Young Master Qi probably had some scruples, after all, his mother had only passed away for half a year, so he didn't make a big fuss, and only secretly released the wind in private, and it was two days ago. ”

"In this case, will there be trouble?" Shen Nishang hesitated.

Although the shop is in the hands of this Fifth Young Master Qi, the second-rate scholar clan should not be underestimated, and if he really wants to get into it, the Qi family feels that he has lost face, and he may not be looking for trouble when the time comes.

"I'm not afraid. Zhang Shaohan shook his head with a smile and said meaningfully, "As long as the silver and goods are not afraid, the Qi family is looking for this seventh young master, not to mention that our batch of goods has entered the palace, and the second-rate scholar clan is powerful in our eyes, but it is nothing in the royal capital." As long as we are serious and spend money, we are not afraid. ”

Shen Nishang nodded thoughtfully, and also replied.

But if they want to open a branch in Wangdu, they are afraid that it will not take long to attract attention if they do not forget the current competitiveness, and they have already been mentally prepared, since this is the case, they are really not afraid of the Qi family looking for any trouble.

Yi Kexiang had been escorted into the palace a few days ago, she had enough confidence in Yi Kexiang, not to mention that they had also discussed with Ling Fei and Mu Qing, and made more preparations, as long as Ling Fei's judgment of Emperor Dali was not wrong, as long as they were doing business properly and did not deceive and dominate the market, it should not be difficult not to forget to live in the royal capital.

"It's that I'm thinking too much. Shen Nishang smiled.

Zhang Shaohan also smiled: "You are just cautious, and it is not a bad thing." ”

"What did he say?" Shen Nishang knew that Zhang Shaohan was comforting her, she was not stupid, but compared with Zhang Shaohan, in terms of business and communication methods, she really had to sigh to herself. Don't talk about it, let's just talk about the news, if it weren't for Zhang Shaohan, she would definitely miss it.

"We'll wait here while he inquires. Zhang Shaohan said.

The three of them sat for another half an hour, the man surnamed Wang hurriedly turned around, and Zhang Shaohan went out to talk to him for a while and then turned back to his seat.

"Forty-six thousand taels. I made an appointment with the owner, and I met in the silver building at three o'clock tomorrow. Zhang Shaohan informed Shen Nishang of the accurate news, frowning slightly, "This price is two percent higher than the market price......" (to be continued.) )
