Chen Xin said calmly: "Why did you invite them? Let them invite us first." I'll tell you more about it tomorrow. Today, I arranged for Lao Cai to take the lead. ”

Finally, Song Wenxian took out a few books from his schoolbag and threw them on the table. Like he said, "I bought all the useless books you wanted." Qin Lufang and I broke our legs before we found Zhao Shijia's one. ”

Chen Xin did not answer. He picked up a copy of the "Artifact Codex", glanced at it hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song has worked hard, but it is not a useless book. It's a golden house. You see. It's full of pictures and text. He has a scientific attitude and writes well. Think about it. If you do a good job of firearms, how much money can you rob in the future?" and then he turned the pages of the book and faced Song Wenxian.

Song Wenxian didn't even look at him. He threw the bag on the table next to him. He stood up and shook his head and said, "You can see these golden houses. Because my brother likes Yan Ruyu very much, he lies in the flowers and listens to the orioles. I don't stay here at night. I'm going to have fun. I'm exhausted this time. ”

Chen Xin hurriedly put down the book. Lately, he's been flustered. Previously, he didn't have much money. Now he has men following him. He didn't have a chance to spend money. He easily grabbed a group of women. Liu Min took him to the workshop dormitory. He didn't have time for anything. Now it just so happens that Lao Lai Song Wenxian took the lead in experiencing the Ming Dynasty club, and by the way, the place of the Ming Dynasty was broken.

Song Wenxian invited him many times, but Chen Xin did not go. He always felt that Chen Xin didn't like those places. He stood up, shook his hand and said, "I know you don't want to go to that kind of place, and I don't want to invite you to join us." ”

Chen Xin was stunned, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Song, in fact, I am ......"

"You don't need to send me. "We don't need these empty gifts. Song Wenxian said and walked to the door by himself.

Chen Xin eagerly followed him: "I'm going."

"Actually, I admire Brother Chen. Those adults are serious and secretly keep a good * life. What's wrong with Brother Chen? If you don't go, don't go. You can have them delivered to your door if you wish. ”

Chen Xin stopped, his words were blocked, and he couldn't speak. Song Wenxian had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Chen Xin was very angry, turned his back to him and said, "I won't see you off at the door." "The dream of a brothel was shattered. Chen Xin was very angry and planned to go by himself. But he felt that things had not been arranged yet, so he had to hold back his anger and go to the clothing store. As soon as he reached the door, he heard someone talking inside. First of all, Shen Li's voice, "Brother Cai, why is the silk fabric I bought yesterday not the original size." ”

Then came Lao Cai's voice, "It's only a few feet away." It's not what I'm missing. The new items in the silk shop are all so big. ”

Shen Li's voice was small, but firm. "We should also let them subtract the price. We all calculate the price according to the ruler, so

Lao Cai interrupted her impatiently, "It's a little small, how can I pay attention to it, let them change the price tomorrow, right, why are you so wordy, like I took a few feet of silk." ”

There was silence for a while. After a while, Shen Lishi said: "There were still some people who paid too much money yesterday, and they should be allowed to come back." ”

"You, how unreasonable, want to go, you ...... go"

Zhou Laifu's voice sounded: "Okay, good, everyone is making a living." Don't take it so seriously. Tomorrow I will tell the shopkeeper over there that I don't need to refund any more. Just take a few more feet of cloth. Lao Cai remembered to ask them to reduce the price. ”

Lao Cai is still arguing, "It's not that the silk shop keeps coming and going there. Who wants to deliberately be less than a few feet? Lu You went to collect the goods. Can't you see the difference?" Lu You said, "It's true. ”

Nie Hong and Zhang Huihui also heard the news from behind. Seeing that Chen Xin had been standing still, they didn't dare to make a sound. Chen Xin naturally knew what was going on. He didn't enter the store, but quietly took them to Zhenhaimen Street for a long time. After wandering for a while, he returned to the door of the store. He heard that there was no one talking inside. Chen Xincai walked into the store and cried.

"Shopkeeper Zhou is doing good business today. ”

When Zhang Fu came back to ask his neighbors for food, he asked them to borrow some food from their neighbors.

Seeing that Chen Xin was finally willing to come to the clothing store, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask Chen Xin to sit down, and roughly reported to him that the women's underwear they produced was selling very well. Other clothing stores in Tianjin are staring at orchid clothing stores, imitating orchid clothing stores when they produce new styles in their lifetime. However, the reputation of the Orchid clothing store is gone. Many rich women come here to buy clothes, and the clothing store earned more than 110 taels of silver last month. Zhou Laifu estimates that after the Spring Festival, the sales of dresses will increase again, and the profits will be more.

After that, Zhou Laifu asked Shen Lishi to delegate. Shen Li is the same as her. The coarse cloth dress was beautiful, but she had a bag on her forehead. It seems that the economic base has not yet decided on the superstructure, but her appearance is slightly better than before. She came and asked Chen Xin in a low voice. Chen Xin stood up, took the form and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shen is very hard, Mr. Liu asked me if I want to say hello to you."

After saying this, Shen Li's face flushed to his neck, and he didn't dare to answer this question. Lao Cai and Lu You looked at each other. Liu Min didn't say anything to anyone. They just asked Shen Li. Although they always thought that there was something ambiguous between them, it was never so clear. In this way, Shen Li's wife may not be able to become the boss's wife. Lu You had already decided to stand beside Shen Li, and it was indispensable to stand on the opposite side, how did they know that it was Chen Xin who was talking nonsense.

Chen Xin added some background points to Shen Li's family, and then turned to others: "Everyone is also working hard. This time, I'll give you last year's bonus. ”

Everyone was happy. Although the money is kept in the store, Miss Zhao comes to collect it every two days. The boss was not there, and Zhou Laifu did not dare to give bonuses. Finally, when Chen Xin returned, he hadn't been to the clothing store for several days.

Zhou Laifu hurriedly asked Shen Lishi to show Chen Xin the calculated bonus. Chen Xin asked them some questions about the calculation method. It turned out that Liu Min decided. That's about two to three times your monthly income. Chen Xin saw that Shen Li's prize was 6 taels, which was about the same as others. The lowest is the land tour of four taels. With a write-off, Chen Xin added another month's money to everyone, which made everyone even happier. Zhou Laifu arranged for Lao Cai to send it today.

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he said to Zhou Laifu: "Lao Cai has other things to do recently. The store will rely more on Rifle. ”

Zhou Laifu didn't know what it was. Lao Cai guessed that he was going to buy something, and then he went to sea by boat. In the end, he can make a small profit.

Zhou Laifu said: "It's okay, Mrs. Shen can do some accounting work. Lao Cai is only responsible for the affairs of adults. ”

Chen Xin turned to Shen Li. The woman was still hiding behind a desk in the corner. "Mrs. Shen has to arrange some things these days. She can only work in a clothing store during the day. She has to work hard at night, and then she will have another paycheck. ”

"Ashinli didn't expect him to have a plan. He whispered, "No, it's okay. Mr. Chan is only responsible for the arrangement. He doesn't need to pay more. ”

Chen Xin did not explain further. He called Lao Cai out and asked him which price he wanted. Lao Cai said: "We also buy the Chinese Buddhist Temple store on weekdays. The goods are always good and there is a lot of stock. So, when the owner of the goods is there, most of the goods are purchased from there. We can buy more at that store. ”

The Chinese silk shop was opened by Fu Wang, and clothing stores often bought there. Chen Xin said to Lao Cai: "I ask all four, I want to buy at least three." You can't go directly to these stores when you go to inquire about prices. Ask people nearby and let every big silk shop know you have bulk shipments. Now tell them at least fifty thousand taels. Lao Cai also agreed: "The wicked know that in the past few years, they have also gone there to buy a large number of goods, and many silk shops also know each other. So that they can haggle. It's just that the shopkeeper stepped on the threshold of the villain. ”

Chen Xin nodded: "In the past year, do you want to step on it?"

Lao Cai was afraid that Chen Xin would suspect him, so he said: "In the past few years, the shopkeeper has told a good price. This scoundrel only listens to the price, never asks the price. The wicked must do their best work, reduce the price, and never accept the benefits of those shopkeepers. ”

Lao Cai is a little greedy, it is normal not to be trusted, Chen Xin smiled and said: "Don't bargain, let them report it themselves, you can write it down." ”

That day, Lao Cai began to inquire. Chen Xin went to Zhao's house every day to ask for peace. After lunch, he returned to the yard. In the middle, he went to Dunk Hill to learn about several silk shops. Lao Cai looked at some of the books he bought, sorted them out, and bargained at the same time, and the price was much lower than Deng Keshan. The main thing is that the raw silk per kilogram is already 562, and the lake silk is 562, which is 95 taels, which is a slight decrease from last year. Maybe this year's production in Gangnam is higher.

Of the four people selected by Chen Xin, three have already invited their employers through Lao Cai to talk about it.

Chen Xin called Song Wenxian over and showed Song Wenxian the offer in advance. Song Wenxian knew that it was a little better than last year, so he waited for the price to be reduced a little more. Chen Xin said to Song Wenxian: "Today I will talk to Tian Hongyu's silk shop. The owner's surname is Yan. They asked Lao Cai to invite me to make an appointment at the Zhengchun Hotel in the evening. ”

Chen Xin picked up another piece of paper handed over by Deng Keshan. It is said that Manager Yan is Tian Hongyu's nephew. Tian Hongyu, who is in his thirties, also manages him at Dehong Bank. He likes to eat and go to brothels to smoke. He likes to play horse cranes and promotional pictures in operas. When drinking, he likes to throw pots. His wife is still in Luoyang, and Tianjin has only two concubines.

Not much information. I also showed it to Song Wenxian.

Song Wenxian said: "Since he likes to go to a brothel, it is better to go to Qunfang Building." By the way, give him some more. ”

Chen Xinyao said: "No, it is a place set by the strict shopkeeper. One by one, we say that the purpose of this negotiation is to reduce the price of silk products as much as possible, as well as the intention to cooperate with the copper coin business. Although we are now buyers, these stores are owned by the emperor. We don't need to respect us. We should work with them. We can make some concessions on the price of goods. The main thing is copper money, and the benefits should be given, but you have to make him feel comfortable

Zhengchun Restaurant is located on a small street on Daihemen Street. Tianjin is known for its elegant surroundings and numerous brothels. It is suitable for thinking after eating and drinking. Many merchants like to entertain the merchants here.

At a quarter past four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xin, Song Wenxian and Lao Cai came to the Zhengchun Hotel. The shopkeeper Yan was young, with a beard and silk about three inches long. He was rich and decent. After meeting, Cai Zhenhua introduced them and greeted each other. The shopkeeper politely invited them to the small room on the third floor. But Lao Cai said that there was something in the store, so he went back to the clothing store first.

Manager Yan only came to Tianjin last year. He started out with a money bank. Bad location. He only did private money business and then shipped the money to the capital. As soon as Wei Zhongxian fell at the end of the year, the eunuchs began to clear and plagiarize. The best way for the imperial court is to hand over Cui Chengxiu's family property, which is only 70,000 taels. The rest lost to the newly rich. Tian Hongyu also took advantage of the wind and forcibly occupied Wei Liangqing's shop. Not only in Tianjin, but also in the capital Zhangjiawan and Linqing, because Manager Yan had done business with Tian Hongyu and was sent to Tianjin to take care of it.
