Chapter 823: Fortune Comes
After a night of silence, the next morning, after Lian Man'er's family had breakfast, they ordered someone to set up a carriage and go to Jinyang County. Lian Man'er's family of five, plus the girl and the maid who served with him, as well as the family's luggage, etc., a total of three carriages. He was accompanied by a young man riding a mule.
The affairs of the family were still the same as usual, leaving the housekeeper Han Zhong and Han Zhong's daughter-in-law to take care of it.
Originally, even Shouxin and Gorou planned to ride a mule, but they were stopped by Zhang and Lian Man'er, and the novel chapter was updated the fastest. It's still nine days now, and most of the road to Fucheng is against the wind, riding a mule méiyou in a carriage to warm up.
There was a charcoal stove in the carriage, and a hand stove in his arms, although it was cold outside, the inside of the car was warm and very comfortable. Zhang took Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi to sit in a car, and on the stove in front of him was a pot of almonds and sugar boiled to sterilize and remove the taste, and then added raisins to boil sweet and sweet milk.
This is Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi's favorite drink.
When they arrived in Jinyang County, the family was not in a hurry to continue on their journey, and still settled in the house in Liushujing Hutong. The shopkeeper Jiang of Lianji Department Store had already received the news that the Zhidào family came to the county seat today, so everything should be properly prepared. As soon as Lian Man'er's family settled down, the shopkeeper of Lian Ji Restaurant also rushed over to greet the owner.
At noon, Lian Man'er ordered people to prepare two sumptuous banquets, leaving shopkeeper Jiang and shopkeeper Wang to eat. Two tables of banquets, one table is placed in the room, sitting Zhang and Lian Man'er, and another table is placed in the outer room through the curtain, sitting Lian Shouxin, Wulang, Xiaoqi and the two big shopkeepers.
In the house, Zhang and Lian Man'er ate quietly. The table outside the room was full of light. Zhang was worried that Xiao Qi would not eat well, so after eating for a while, he called Xiao Qi into the house. Sit next to her and eat.
Lian Kee Restaurant and Lian Kee Department Store have made a lot of profits in the past year, and the two big shopkeepers have received a lot of dividends, which is naturally extremely healthy and vigorous. Moreover, in the past two years, Yijing between the proprietor and the shopkeeper has fully understood and trusted each other, and the atmosphere on the table is even more harmonious.
A few people were eating, and they couldn't help but talk about the business of restaurants and department stores. The two big shopkeepers are full of confidence for the new year. At the same time, they also mentioned to Lian Shouxin and Goro about the shop in the county that they planned to change hands.
This year, Lian Man'er's grange, ranch and several shops made a lot of money. Therefore, it has long been said that it is necessary to purchase some more industries. The two shopkeepers paid attention.
“…… As for the Shenyi pawnshop on the street of Yamen, I heard that it was going to change hands. This is the number one shop in our county. The shopkeeper and the buddies are all hands. The credibility of these years has not been said. If it comes over, it's a cornucopia again. "Shopkeeper Jiang mentioned a pawnshop.
The pawnshop business was quite profitable in those days, but at the same time, the water in this industry was also very deep. This money is not something that anyone can earn. First of all, to be a pawnshop, you must have strong funds. Secondly, it is necessary to have a background, a background that no one dares to provoke. this condition. Now Lian Man'er's family just has it.
Then, funding alone is not enough. There must also be a good shopkeeper and a good fellow, well-informed, and nénggou correctly valuing the pawned things.
Lian Man'er was eating in the back room while listening to Gorou and them talking in the outhouse. This Shenyi pawnshop is indeed very famous in the county, and its reputation is also very good. As Shopkeeper Jiang said, the plate is a cornucopia.
This is a rare opportunity not to be missed. However, before making a decision, it is better to be cautious and understand the situation.
"Shenyi is doing a good job, for shime to go out?" Lian Man'er asked in the back room.
The shopkeeper Jiang and the shopkeeper Wang are both zhidào, the Man'er girl of the owner is very capable, and she can afford to do things outside the house, so she naturally dare not slack off on Lian Man'er's questioning.
“…… Shenyi was originally the capital of the two families, but a few years ago, these two families did not have a quarrel because of shime, and they never reconciled. The two families were shouting, awkward, and quarrelling, they really couldn't do business together, and they didn't want to take out the capital and give the shop to the other party. The shopkeeper Jiang explained, "This is the news I got privately, and if the owner wants to buy this shop, it is a good opportunity." I asked someone to talk to and make peace, it should be about the same. ”
"So that's the case," Lian Man'er nodded, "Dad, brother, I think it would be a good thing if I could take down this pawnshop." ”
When Lian Shouxin and Gorou heard Lian Man'er say this, they mingbái, and Lian Man'er agreed to take the Shenyi number. The father and son exchanged glances and felt that this pawnshop was a good business.
"This matter has to be done by the shopkeeper Jiang. After the deed is done, let's follow the rules. Wulang said to the shopkeeper Jiang.
Lianjia Yijing has a complete set of rewards and punishments, that is, rules. According to the rules, the shopkeeper Jiang Ruguo can do this, the pawnshop Nénggou will make a profit, and the Nàme Jiang shopkeeper will get a very good silver reward accordingly.
At the same time, this matter will also be recorded in the merit book of Jiang's shopkeeper
On the book, it is very beneficial to the development of the shopkeeper Jiang in the future of Lianjia.
"Do your best!" Shopkeeper Jiang said busily.
Shopkeeper Jiang is a capable person, and Shopkeeper Wang is not to be left behind. He told Lian Shouxin and Gorou that there was another silver building in the county town that planned to change hands.
Yinlou and pawnshop yiyàng are both industries with large investment but high returns. If it was in the past, Lian Man'er's family really didn't dare to touch their hands, but now the situation is very different. This kind of shop is exactly what they want.
The silver house méiyou pawnshop nàme trouble, therefore, the family quickly decided that as long as the conditions were right, they could take the silver house down.
"Mother, let's play shime jewelry again in the future, so we don't have to go anywhere else, just play in our own silver building." Lian Man'er smiled and whispered to Zhang.
After the silver building, Lian Man'er also planned to ziji design some ornaments. Girl's family, who doesn't love jewelry, doesn't like to dress up. Design some fresh ornaments, one can meet Ziji's requirements, in addition, it can also attract more business for the silver building, killing two birds with one stone.
Shopkeeper Jiang and Shopkeeper Wang also talked about a few shops, and the pawnshop and the silver building nàme are eye-catching.
"If you have a good location and the price is right, you can also go down in two places, rent it out in Shihou, and collect rent." Gorou said.
Now in the county, in addition to owning Lian Kee Restaurant and Lian Ji Department Store, there is also a shop that is being rented, and a year's rent is also a good income.
"How's the restaurant on Front Street cleaned up?" After a while, Gorou asked again.
The front street that Gorou refers to is the front street of the nine-story tower, which is generally referred to as the front street in the county town. Lian Ji Restaurant is on the street of Front Street, a year ago, they set up a restaurant at the end of Front Street, planning to open a branch of Shunde Fang after repairing and decorating.
The branch of Shunde Fang in Jinyang County was planned by the family for a long time. Shunde Fang Roast Duck Restaurant has now created a signboard in Yijing, Fucheng, a branch in Jinyang County, which naturally does not worry about customers.
Jinyang County is one of the largest counties in Liaodong Prefecture, with developed transportation, a large population, and a large number of merchants from the south to the north. The affluence of Jinyang County is also among the best in Liaodong Province. The price of roast duck is high, and for many reasons, Lian Man'er plans to open another branch in Jinyang County in Liaodong Mansion, in addition to the Shunde Fang in Fucheng.
Just these two stores are enough.
Another reason for opening the branch of Shunde Fang in Jinyang County is that Bijing in Jinyang County is the hometown of the Lian family, and it makes no sense that the villagers in the hometown want to eat roast duck, and they have to go all the way to Fucheng.
“…… Only the finishing work remains," the shopkeeper Wang saw that Gorou asked about the Shundefang branch, and replied that Gorou was in charge of the repair and decoration of the store. "It is expected to be completed in mid-February. The proprietor chose a good day to open. ”
"Okay." Gorou smiled and nodded.
bijing is close.,Shime things are easy to do.。 The Shundefang branch in Jinyang County opened earlier than the branch in Beijing. Over there in the capital, Lianjia Yijing sent someone to raise the crammed duck, and after the New Year, the family affairs were done neatly, and Gorou was about to enter Beijing. On the one hand, I want to follow Mr. Lu to study hard for a few months and experience experience, and on the other hand, I want to open the Shundefang branch in Beijing.
After lunch, Shopkeeper Jiang and Shopkeeper Wang both said goodbye and went to their respective affairs. A few members of the family sat together and chatted about the store.
“…… Pawnshops and silver buildings, they all cost a lot of money, don't we plan to buy some good land and houses this year, is the cash in our hands enough? Lian Shouxin asked Lian Man'er.
All the accounts at home will naturally not be concealed from Lian Shouxin. But there are many things that he still has to ask Lian Man'er or Goro. Especially Lian Man'er, although she handed over all the accounts to the bookkeepers, in Lianjia, she is the one who knows the most about the family's assets.
"I just did the math, and that's enough." Lian Man'er told Lian Shouxin with certainty, "Dad, don't worry, even if you take down the shops that Shopkeeper Jiang and Shopkeeper Wang said, the remaining money will be enough for us to buy land and buy a house." ”
Lian Shouxin is still a farmer in his bones, and when he has spare money, his first thought is to build a house and buy land. In particular, the fields, which are the lifeblood of the croppers, are never too much. And the shops, compared to the fields, are secondary.
Lian Man'er partially agreed with Lian Shouxin's idea. The field, that is, the grain, that is fundamental. This naturally can't be moved at all, she has long had a plan, ruguokěnéng, to buy some fields every year, and slowly accumulate them. And the shops, that is, business, are fast turnover, that is, fast money, which is also essential for them.
No agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth. Lian Man'er's plan is to grasp it with both hands, and both hands must be hard.
There are few shops that have become a landowner?
…
One more is sent, ask for pink, recommended votes, and strive for the second watch later. (To be continued.) )
