Chapter 445: On the Street at Night
The curfew only prohibits people from moving around the street outside the square, and it can't control the lively nightlife in the square, and it's almost summer, the night breeze is cool, and there are more stalls on the street with an all-night night market.
The door of the Zhuang Mansion was still open, and when he saw Bai Ko coming with his son, he immediately took them to see the Wang shop.
"Gu Shizi, this shop definitely meets your requirements, the front store and the back house, there is an inner wall in the middle, only open a corner door, close this small corner door will not be able to pass through the front and back, and the people of the house will enter and exit directly from the back door, which will not affect the business of the front store." The tooth man explained the situation succinctly and clearly.
"The prosperous shop in Tianshuifang has always had a good business, even if it is rented for a year, the rent is a lot, how can the landlord be willing to sell?" Gu Yun asked curiously.
"Hey, what kind of landlord, the owner of this shop is an outer room raised by a businessman, and the grandmother of the main house found clues from the account books and private messages, and brought her own son to the door to settle the inheritance, and drove out the outer room with a blue nose and swollen face, and all the guys were fired, and the business was closed, and the price was lower than the market price in order to sell it as much as possible. We have been thinking about the prince of the world to have a good shop, and after the formalities were completed on the front foot, we informed the white steward on the back foot, and we didn't dare to delay for a while. ”
"Thank you for your heart."
The shop is in the core circle of Cross Street, and from the geographical location of this shop, you can also see how much the merchant loved this outer room during his lifetime, the front shop and the back house still maintain the original appearance of the previous owner's business and life, there are still half of the meals in the kitchen, and there are traces of fights in the back house, as long as it is fully cleaned and cleaned up, the new owner can move in and prepare for the business to open.
The front store is a building on the second floor, with left and right wings, at the bottom of the corridor on the second floor, the line of sight can pass through the inner wall, see the courtyard of the back house, Bai Ko upstairs and downstairs to take a look, the former owner of the second floor as a warehouse, but Bai Ko felt that the second floor could be vacated to open a women's tea room, only to receive female guests, male guests stopped, downstairs only sold the goods produced by the workshop, and the workshop was only responsible for bulk shipments in the future, saving the neighborhood to buy a piece of soap and have to be fresh and dirty.
Gu Yun walked back and forth to check all the rooms, the inner wall of the inner house was repaired with three inverted rooms, and the kitchen, firewood room, storage room, etc., after closing the corner door, it was a complete house.
The tooth man kept chattering, in the short term, this is the most suitable shop that can be found, if you want to save a few more stores, you have to spend time and wait patiently, as long as there is a prosperous shop vacant, you must notify Gu Shizi in time.
Gu Yun is not in a hurry, he will hold a few storefronts at once, one is counted as one, and if the house is in hand, if it is not used, it will be broken if it is idle all the time.
Bai Ko also took a look at the inside and outside environment and returned to Gu Yun's side, asked about the house price, and calculated the commission to the tooth store to be equal to the market price, which shows that the real landlord really opened a low price in order to get rid of it, if it wasn't for the tooth store to do Gu Yun's long-term business, he really couldn't get it.
After a few words, Gu Yun asked the tooth man to leave the key and leave on his own, and went to the tooth store to sign a contract in two or three days.
"The reward money given by the palace has only been held in your hand for a long time, and it has all gone out." Gu Yun stood in the courtyard of the shop, looking up at the corridor on the second floor, playing with a key ring on his fingers.
"When transparent glass ware is made, how many such shops can earn back."
"It is the wish of the glaze craftsman to produce transparent glazeware, and it seems that you don't take it seriously?"
"Trade secrets, I can't tell you about this."
"Hehe, don't do that, reveal a little? Otherwise, when others ask about the principle of this transparent vessel in the future, won't I be laughed at? ”
"Okay, first of all, the purer the raw materials, the better, and the fewer impurities, the better."
"Well, and then what?"
"And then? Then I can't say it, it's about the whole process, let you know, one day I drink too much and show off to others, the window paper will be broken as soon as I poke it, and the whole process is immediately worthless, you don't want to do this unique business? Bai Ko flew Gu Yun with a roll of his eyes.
Gu Yun suddenly touched his chin a little weakly, "I'm not a person who talks nonsense when he drinks too much." ”
"No, it's a matter of trade secrets, and no one can trust it."
"That's not what you say, you have to be a craftsman, right? You know a few interesting theories at most, but you always have to turn your theories into reality, right? ”
"So Liu Qiang and Liu Zhuang both get double wages, and give them a high remuneration to keep their mouths shut, and they will also get a big reward at the end of the year, and let them know that only by working for Young Master Gu Yun, the prince of Yeguo, can they have a bright future, live like a person, and even have the financial resources to buy a house that belongs to them in this Tianshuifang. As long as people live with a head and see hope, they will have the motivation to move forward, otherwise they must be living a chaotic life, and if they are all passive subordinates, please reflect on themselves first. ”
"Are you insinuating?" Gu Yun raised his eyebrows.
"Absolutely not."
"Hmph, I don't bother to care if you have it or not."
Gu Yun stretched out his hand and handed the key to Bai Ko, waited for her to take it and tied it to the big key ring on her body, then took her hand, and took the lantern in her other hand and carried it herself, illuminating the path under the feet of the two.
"I finally have a storefront, let's go, tell me about your next business plan."
Bai Ko couldn't break away from Gu Yun's hand, so she could only let him lead her, walking around upstairs and downstairs, and telling him what she was thinking.
"I have no opinion on the layout of the first floor is still an ordinary store, and the second floor has been changed to a women's tea room? What are you doing? ”
After the two walked again, standing in the corridor on the second floor, Gu Yun leaned against the railing, looking at the dark courtyard downstairs, and didn't quite understand Bai Ko's thoughts.
"A place that only accepts female guests, gives them a safe environment free from harassment, and allows them to enjoy a comfortable place to socialize, maybe they will be happy and will place a big order."
"Placing a big order? Just doing the business of a rich lady? What do you use to lure them to come here for tea? ”
"It depends on when the glass workshop can make what the maid wants, with the utensils for the food, do you still need to worry about the food?"
With Bai Ko's frank confidence, Gu Yun couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"That's right, as long as you play your signboard, don't be afraid that no one will come, just a few rooms and a few tables on the second floor, just the rich daughters, grandmothers, wives, and ladies in this square can't be received, you can't let the guests crowd and push."
"This is very easy to do, the place is small and the turnover is not open, in order to avoid crowding, only accept the reservation of guests, if you don't make it, it will become a place for the ladies of the rich and noble families to meet in the future."
"Hmph, it's possible."
"And as long as people come, don't you buy something?"
"Do you still want to sell them glassware?"
"It's called transparent glass practical utensils, it's not good on the shelf, it's on the table for daily use, as long as it can be made, this women's tea room can be opened."
"You old Bai family generations of imperial chefs, why did you come out of a girl like you who is in business? Where did you get all this business acumen? ”
"Shizi, your skill in changing the subject is too blunt." Bai Ko gave Gu Yun a roll of his eyes unabashedly, anyway, he couldn't see it now in the dark.
"I'm just curious to ask, can't I ask?"
"Nope."
"Okay, okay, don't ask if you don't ask." Gu Yun led Bai Ko downstairs slowly, "Let's go, go to the back house to have a look, latch the front door first, and we'll go through the back door after we finish reading." ”
