Chapter 163: The Gambling Contract

Tian Miao's words made Bai Yiran stunned, he knew that she had already made a plan in her heart, but she never asked, because he knew her, and if she thought it was necessary, she would definitely tell herself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Is this shop so critical? It's no wonder you're so persistent, but don't worry, if the head of the Zhou family is not interested in your thoughts, I will also have a way to make that shop yours. Bai Yiran held her little hand and said affectionately.

"Yi Ran, I understand your feelings, but I don't want you to do that, if we want to gain a firm foothold in the capital, we have to take it step by step." Tian Miao knew what he meant, but in this matter, they couldn't use extraordinary means.

If the Li family's people have the evidence, even if she gains a firm foothold in the future, she will be pushed down fiercely, and she may be used, causing even more trouble.

"Okay, let's take it one step at a time." Bai Yiran sighed lightly, let's just look at the situation first.

Tian Miao knew that he hadn't given up completely, but he also knew that it was useless to say more, so let's think about how to let the head of the Zhou family give her the shop.

The reason why she had to do that, in fact, the most important thing is that the predecessor of that shop was the former site of their Tianjia jade shop.

Back then, the Li family opened a shop directly opposite the Tian family, and then squeezed out the Tian family's shop little by little.

Now she wants to use the same method to make the Li family history, but she will not use those means that cannot be put on the table, of course, if the other party uses it, she can double it.

Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, Tian Miao was very busy in these three days, and finally when the Zhou family master came to the door, he prepared everything he needed.

The head of the Zhou family came this time, and as Tian Miao expected, it was indeed Dean Du Mo of the academy, Bai Yiran invited them to the study in the front yard, and Tian Miao was already waiting there.

"Grandpa Zhou, I'm really sorry to invite you to come in person, but for some reasons, we can't help it." Tian Miao said politely after the two sides met the courtesy.

"Miss Tian, let's not be so polite between us, only when we go to the suburbs can we experience the beauty of this countryside, and we have to thank you." Dumo said with a smile.

"Sure enough, you have to be a reader, how beautiful that is." Zhou Changsheng teased.

"Don't entertain me, let's get down to business." Du Mo came here just to appreciate some of Tian Miao's jade carvings.

"Please Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Du, come inside with me, sometimes no matter how much you say, it doesn't work well with your own eyes." Tian Miao stood at the door of the study room and made a gesture of invitation to them.

Zhou Changsheng and Du Mo, after glancing at each other, followed Bai Yiran's footsteps and walked inside. Bai Yiran, who led the way in front, naturally flashed to the side after entering the inside, so that the two people behind could clearly see the scene inside.

"This ......," the two of them were speechless with shock at once.

"Grandpa Zhou, you are an expert, I am just a class axe, the reason why I got it out is just that I am afraid that it will not be clear." When Tian Miao saw Zhou Changsheng's expression, he understood in his heart that most of the plan had been successful, and then he only needed to explain it.

"You came up with it all yourself?" Zhou Changsheng really couldn't believe that this little girl who was only a teenager would have a smart mind, or was there some master behind her back?

"Of course I came up with it myself, but if someone else thought of it, I wouldn't dare to use it." Tian Miao is full of confidence, she is indeed not original to her, but in this era, she is a pioneer.

"Can you tell us a little bit about it? What does this room mean? Dumo was a complete layman and didn't know much about it, but he saw his friend's expression.

understood that he was not much better than himself, but after all, he was a big expert and could never tell the truth, so he had to do it for him and open his mouth to Tian Miao.

"That's natural, because it's just for the sake of illustration, so I've only hung five colors on this wall.

In fact, the walls can be designed like this, so that guests can clearly see these fabrics as soon as they enter the door, so that they can choose the one that suits their preferences. Tian Miao pointed to the opposite wall and said her own thoughts.

"Well, yes, your idea is new, but it's also quite practical." Zhou Changsheng is really an expert, and he immediately thought of the key.

In the current silk village, the walls are full of rows of shelves, on which are placed with pieces of fabric, and the guests say their requests, and the men take the cloth off the shelves according to the situation.

If the guest is not satisfied, then the guy has to take out another one, so that not only the guy is tired, but the guest is also easily irritable.

If it is really as she said, customers can see all kinds of fabrics at a glance, and they can clearly choose what they like, so that both buyers and sellers can save time and effort.

"And these dummies were made by someone at random, because of the limited time, and the work was a little rough. If you find a carpenter with good skills, you can make a life-size puppet.

Their role is to make the latest silk into clothes and put them on, so that ......" Tian Miao said this, and did not say any more.

"In this way, I can make any fabric that I want to sell well, as long as I make reasonable use of these figures." Zhou Changsheng naturally took her next words.

"Grandpa Zhou is really an expert, I just mentioned it slightly, and you thought of the key." Tian Miao said flatteringly.

"Miss Tian, you say all this, aren't you afraid that I will get your idea, but I won't let the shop out?" Zhou Changsheng turned his head to ask her, his eyes staring at her for a moment.

"Grandpa Zhou, do you think I'll tell all the good ideas? Besides, I believe that our treacherous villain has no way to become the head of the dragon in the capital. Tian Miao said with a smile, she is not afraid, an old fox like Zhou Changsheng will naturally want to get more and better ideas from her.

"Haha, if you say that, I can't be a gentleman, haha." Zhou Changsheng was in a good mood.

In the past few years, their family's silk and satin business has gradually declined, mainly because the younger generations of the family are intriguing all day long.

In recent years, a lot of new cloth villages have emerged, and a lot of their business has been divided, and he has been thinking about what way to make the business turn around, but he didn't expect that at such a time, he met this little lucky star.

"So, you have an idea that I can exchange the shop tops?" Zhou Changsheng has been in business all his life, and his mind is not an ordinary fly.

"That's natural, it's just that my method has never been used before, and the effect is certain, but it depends on Grandpa Zhou, whether you can accept it." Tian Miaocai doesn't have that idleness, she revolves around other people's businesses every day, and she will propose a method that can be used for a long time and let them do their own work.

"So tell me, where do you exchange the shop with me?" Zhou Changsheng felt that he could give it a try, if his family's business reached its peak again, let alone one shop, it didn't matter if it was eight shops.

"I don't have this ready-made, but I will provide a design plan for the pavement, and you will choose the right pavement by yourself, and the cost will be paid by me.

Until your new store opens, the old store will continue to operate normally, and you will not have the slightest loss, and I will also help you provide some activity plans to bring new and old customers over. Tian Miao thought very carefully, in order to ensure the interests of the Zhou family.

"Haha, in this way, isn't the old man taking advantage of you?" Zhou Changsheng laughed.

"Grandpa Zhou, you really like to joke, to be honest, I don't have so much silver in my hand, if it wasn't for Yi Ran to lend it to me, let alone the shop on Dongdazhi Street, there is no way to buy another one in such a Zhuangzi." Tian Miao said a little exaggerated, but in a sense, it was also the truth, if there was no old gold, how could she dare to come to Beijing?

"Miss Tian, you don't have to cry poor in front of the old man, if you can really make my business boom again, then what if the shop is to give you away?" Zhou Changsheng said boldly that he had not been idle in the past three days, but he had found out everything about her.

Let's not talk about her relationship with Bai Yiran, within two years alone, she turned the Tian family, who was poor like that, into the richest man in Qiaotou Town in one fell swoop, which is not something that anyone can do.

"Grandpa Zhou, is this true?" Tian Miao's eyes lit up, obediently, what she lacked most was an idea.

"With the two of them here, will I break my promise? Let's not mention the problem of pavement first, as long as you erect a new shop for me, I will offer that pavement with both hands.

However, the premise is that the profit of the new shop is not less than 10,000 taels, and now the old shop is about 1 or 2,000 taels a month.

What do you think? Do you dare to take this bet? "Zhou Changsheng is not a lion's big mouth, that shop plus the yard behind it is worth 300,000 taels to say the least.

"What if you can't do it?" Tian Miao asked rhetorically.

"If you can't reach it, it depends on the situation, I said this is a bet, the bet is your courage and ability." Zhou Changsheng's meaning is very obvious, if Tian Miao can't meet the requirements, then she will help people in vain, and the shop will have nothing to do with her.

"Miao'er." Bai Yiran felt that Old Man Zhou was setting a trap for Tian Miao.

"Okay, I agree, but I also have one condition, that is, as long as I put forward the condition, whether it is silver or people, you must agree unconditionally.

Of course, I will finally hand you a book, which will remember the whereabouts of each article, and if you agree, then we will officially start the bet. Tian Miao didn't pay attention to Bai Yiran's reminder, but agreed arrogantly.

"Okay, refreshed, let's settle on that." Zhou Changsheng was aroused by her.

"Yi Ran, prepare pen and ink, ask Uncle Du to write on your behalf, and make a formal bet for us." Tian Miao is not a person who drags mud and water.

Her idea is also very simple, this bet has no actual loss for her, even if she loses, she just can't get the pavement.

But what she got in the process of this process could not be measured by the amount of silver. In the future, she will list the Zhou family's silk village as her partner, and the reputation of their own jade shop will become more and more famous.

After sending them away, Bai Yiran asked Tian Miao with some concern.

"Miao'er, you're too impulsive this time."

"Yi Ran, have you ever seen me impulsive since you knew me?" Tian Miao sat on his lap with a smile, and his hands were naturally wrapped around his neck.

"That's what I said, but it's 10,000 taels in three months, it's simply a strong man's difficulty, I have checked the Zhou family's silk village very clearly.

When the business is at its best in the year, it earns two or three thousand taels a month, and in the off-season, it is only a few hundred or one thousand taels a month.

But he asked you to earn 10,000 taels in three months, isn't that embarrassing for you? This old fox, he put forward this bet, no matter what the result is, he has nothing to lose. Bai Yiran said indignantly that he really wanted to clean him up in his own way.

"Actually, this matter is more powerful for us." Tian Miao said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Bai Yiran raised his eyebrows and asked.

"What we lack most now is fame, and if we spread the news of this bet tomorrow, people will naturally pay attention to us when the time comes.

Slowly we will become famous, and after the jade shop opens, many people will come here, so it is difficult not to make money.

That's why I readily agreed, if we want to gain a firm foothold in the capital, we always have to have a few powerful friends, and the Zhou family has a deep foundation in the capital, isn't it a good thing for us to have some relationship with him? Tian Miao knew that Bai Yiran had grown up since he was a child, even if he was not loved by his stepmother, he had always been the master.

So he can't understand the current situation well, but this doesn't affect Tian Miao's liking for him.

"I can't think of doing business, it's even more difficult than me being the master, alas, it seems that I'm really not suitable for business, and I'll run errands for you in the future." Bai Yiran said half-truthfully.

"You think it's beautiful, I don't know, it's okay, give you a period of study, and in the future, these will all be handed over to you, and I'll only be responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun." The more Tian Miao said, the more feasible she felt, and she was really looking forward to that kind of good time.

"If you don't worry, even if you leave it to me, but you put all the property in Hetian into Liu Sheng's hands, won't you be worried at all?" Bai Yiran wanted to ask her a long time ago, but he never had the opportunity.

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, I think character is more important than ability, and Liu Sheng is a talent with character and ability, why should I waste it?" Tian Miao smiled like a thief, like a kitten who had stolen a fish.

"You're so happy that you've dug up my people, aren't you?" Bai Yiran looked helpless, in fact, Liu Sheng was one of the few people he personally selected, and he was specifically responsible for secretly protecting her.

It's just that he didn't expect that Tian Miao really had a vision, and he picked out the captain among them at once, and made her the manager.

"Mood, okay, you have to be careful in the future, as long as I find out that it is a talent, but all of them will be dug up to me." Tian Miao joked.

"Haha, what is this, aren't all my people yours? Whatever else you dig up, as long as you tell you to. Bai Yiran smiled and made a human appearance, as if he was Tian Miao's follower.

The two of them were in a good mood, and the two people sitting in the study of the Zhou Mansion at this time were also in a good mood.

"I didn't expect this Tian Miao to be generous, but I just wrote a bet contract for you, so I gave me this Panasonic game.

Next time there's such a good thing, don't forget, take me with you. "The more I look at it, the more I like it, and I can't put it down.

"Look at your little bit of talent, didn't you listen to Tian Miao? This is carved from agate stone, so the market price is not very high, at most it is about 100 taels. "Zhou Changsheng is really convinced, as for how much you like it?

I've been holding it in my hand since I got it.,Fortunately, that Panasonic game.,It's only a foot high.,Otherwise,You'd have to be tired to death.怂

"There is really no way to communicate with a rough person like you, this is not measured in silver, do you know who it came from?" Du Mo deliberately sold Guan Zi and said.

"Who else could it be? Isn't it carved by Tian Miao? Zhou Changsheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at his friend, did he become stupid because he was too happy?

"Say you're a rough person, not because you're rough, but because of your heart, come and see, what is this?" Du Mo said with an unfathomable and profound expression, Zhou Changsheng knew that there must be something special when he saw him like that, so he got up and walked over to watch seriously.

"What is this? A tree? "Zhou Changsheng really didn't see anything special.

"Alas, I'm really wrong, I actually told you this, forget it, I'll go back to the academy." Dumo said that he was about to put it away.

"Wait a minute, you make it clear first, it's not a good habit to hang people like this." Where would Zhou Changsheng let him, he left only halfway through the words.

"Alas, okay, I'll finish before leaving, this is the totem of the woods." As soon as Du Mo's words came out, Zhou Changsheng was taken aback.

"What do you say? Tian Miao is the elegant guest in the forest who set off that storm in the capital before? "Zhou Changsheng was not interested in jade.

For so many years, he has not had any friendship with Li Yaozhang, although the shop is opposite, but he has hardly been to the Li family's jade shop.

But it was only in the last year that Du Mo and the others often put the woods in their mouths, so that he would know more or less.

"Exactly, if it weren't for this reason, do you think I would be so polite to a little girl?" Du Mo found out about this three days ago, but he didn't find out when he was deeply in his mind.

"Haha, that's right, I'm still wondering why you, who have always been known for your ugly words, are so different from her, but I can't imagine that this is the reason." Zhou Changsheng Zhang finally figured it out, and his friend's abnormal behavior suddenly became normal.

"You giggle slowly, I'm going to meet friends for a while, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy." After Du Mo carefully packed the box, he carefully held it in his arms, for fear of a little accident.

"Hmph, what about friends, aren't you in a hurry to go out and show off?" Zhou Changsheng knew this friend for many years too well, but he only dared to whisper, if he heard it, he would definitely say a bunch of Zhihu people.

Of course, Du Mo went out to find those friends who also liked jade carving, and he knew that the works of Lin Yake were rare but not sought.

After Zhou Changsheng left, he called several of his henchmen to the study and discussed today's matter with them, the most important of which were the two ideas that Tian Miao said.

After Bai Yiran came out of Tian Miao's study, he did not go back to his room, but went to the coffin shop located on Jingcheng South Street.

"Miss, you can't go in now, it's getting dark." Xiaomei stood at the door of the workshop and spread her arms to prevent Tian Miao from entering.

"I'll be in for a while and I'll be out, and I promise it won't take more than an hour." Tian Miao said helplessly, this Xiaomei is really stubborn.

"I don't believe it, I don't think it will be too long, but when I don't go in, I forget everything." Xiaomei won't let her in, it's about to be dinner, and as soon as the eldest lady goes in, let alone dinner, it's a question of whether she can even sleep.
