Chapter 118: Doing Business Begins with Shopping

If you are rich and have no business, there will be no permanent owner of goods, and those who are capable will gather together, and those who are not good will collapse.

***

Between the New Year's Festival, it was supposed to be a lively time to visit relatives and friends, but the Fang family was thin, and there were no relatives and friends to visit after the New Year, and some face-saving things were not Mo Xiangsi's turn to go out in person, Fang Zhong and others took care of it on their behalf, and the business in the shop, although the old shopkeeper went home for the New Year, but now Yin Mo can also take over, and Mo Xiangsi also intends to let him practice, so that he can better take over the business here in the future, so he has no intention of helping.

Therefore, after the New Year, Mo Xiangsi was idle, Mo Xiangsi went to find Fang Cheng once, but Fang Cheng said that it was boring here, and he was going back to the grass hut by the West Lake.

Mo Xiangsi couldn't help but ask, "Third old lady, don't you want to guard against Long Yuan?" Then you will preach to me, too. ”

Fang Cheng looked at this little girl very cute, and said, "Didn't he say he wanted to teach you?" Now that you have to be free, you might as well go to him to teach you. ”

Mo Xiangsi twisted his eyebrows: "But shouldn't you teach me first, and then let me compare him?" ”

Fang Cheng laughed and led Ah Shui away, Ah Shui turned his head and glared at Mo Xiangsi with disdain: "Stupid, you know that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”

Although Mo Xiangsi has heard this sentence a hundred times, what does this little kid mean when he says it.

Mo Xiangli was now gradually able to get out of bed, holding Xiao Qian to play on the side, and said to Mo Xiangsi with a smile: "The third old lady probably wants to know what the prince is comfortable with, and what he wants to do with the teacher." ”

Mo Xiangsi raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll go to find Long Yuan now?" ”

In fact, it is not too early to say that it is already the fifth day of the new year, and the New Year festivals of small traders and hawkers on the street are often not as cumbersome as those of rich and noble people. The trouble has been going on for so long, and now there are many people coming and going to visit relatives on the street, and these small traders who come out early can also make two more money, so this shop with a faΓ§ade has not yet opened, but the small vendors on the street have already become lively.

Long Yuan and Mo Xiangsi were both in civilian clothes, walking casually on the street. Look at the bustle in front of you. Mo Xiangsi smelled the fragrance of all kinds of snacks, and only felt that the gluttonous insects were hooked.

Looking at Mo Xiangsi's appearance, Long Yuan smiled faintly: "Didn't you have breakfast?" ”

Mo Xiangsi glanced at him and said, "After eating, you're hungry after walking so far, okay?" Where the hell are you going to take me? So far, why not take a carriage. Do you have to walk? ”

Long Yuan said: "You are from a country of rivers and lakes, such a little road, I can walk, but you can't walk?" ”

Mo Xiangsi said: "It's not a long way. It's the roadside ...... "Mo Xiangsi was annoyed, why was he in a hurry this morning." Didn't bring any money?

But when I think about it, I am even more depressed, what if I bring money? Could it be eaten in front of him!

Long Yuan smiled faintly, looked at Mo Xiangsi drooling at the snack in front of him, and slowly walked forward. After taking a few copper plates, the peddler wrapped them up for him with a smile on his face, and Long Yuan waited there for some money. Bian took the pastry in Long Yuan's hand and ate it unceremoniously. Until the vendor finished finding the money, Mo Xiangsi's pastries were almost finished, and he looked at the last piece in his hand while walking with Long Yuan, and asked Long Yuan hesitantly: "Do you want it?" ”

Long Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Don't." ”

Mo Xiangsi hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and said: "You are so stingy, just buy such a little, it is not enough for me to stuff my teeth, and you are a king...... Uh, you even took so many copper plates and asked people to find money, shouldn't you just throw a few taels of silver at him, and say that you don't need to look for them? ”

Long Yuan stopped smiling, but just looked at Mo Xiangsi coldly: "Woman, I want to teach you how to be a businessman, not a prince." ”

Mo Xiangsi was stunned.

Mo Xiangsi silently followed Long Yuan for a while, Long Yuan didn't walk fast, it seemed to be very casual, and on the way, he also looked at what Mo Xiangsi liked, and bought her something to eat, but Mo Xiangsi held the food in his hand, but he felt more and more that he was now so much like the fool who raised Fang Jin for his own way of raising pets? !

Mo Xiangsi became more and more angry when he thought about it, although he wanted to eat it, but he couldn't eat it, so he walked with him all the way, and he didn't know what he had in mind.

Long Yuan saw that she didn't eat it, so he didn't buy it anymore.

Gradually, Mo Xiangsi also felt that this road was too long, and he had been pampered by the Fang family these days, and he really couldn't walk anymore.

"Go to the teahouse and sit?" Long Yuan asked her lightly.

Mo Xiangsi was really exhausted, and finally couldn't help but nod.

Long Yuan and Mo Xiangsi went to the seat of the beauty on the side of the teahouse and sat down, in this winter, everyone likes to run to the warm inside, and in this open-air place outside, very few people sit, and it is also quite leisurely.

Mo Xiangsi was shivered by the cold wind before looking at Long Yuan. Long Yuan's eyes looked at the bustling street under him: "How do you feel?" ”

Mo Xiangsi poured himself a cup of tea and held it in his hand to warm it: "It's so cold, so hungry, so tired!" ”

Long Yuan twisted his eyebrows and turned his head to look at her, the mud can't support the wall!

"Look at the little vendors coming and going downstairs in the cold wind and rain, how much do you think they can make in a day?"

Mo Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, thinking about the way Long Yuan gave the copper plates one by one just now: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make too much money." Barely satisfied? ”

Long Yuan turned his head to look at her: "Then guess, how much money can this teahouse make in a day?" ”

Mo Xiangsi glanced at the lively people in the teahouse and thought for a while: "Three or five taels of silver is no problem." ”

Long Yuan smiled faintly: "Then guess how much silver can my Biyue Tea House buy in one day?" ”

Mo Xiangsi opened his mouth, but finally shook his head.

Long Yuanfu turned his head again and looked at the traffic downstairs: "Actually, you don't have to blame the remote seats of your Fang family at the Jiangnan Business Banquet that day, in the eyes of Guan Guangzhan and others, your Fang family is just those small traders downstairs who do business with the homeless." ”

Mo Xiangsi retorted: "Although I know that our Fang family is not as good as their wealthy families, it is not as bad as you said!" ”

Long Yuan said: "The land produced by the land, as well as the absurd cotton silk you used to have, is just about the food and clothing of the common people, and the benefits on a few copper plates, and Guan Guangzhan and other old people of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, most of the money in their hands are Qian Zhuang ticket numbers, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver precious utensils, these are all for the upper-class rich and noble families in Zhongzhou, and a piece of utensils will seek at least ten times the profit." What's more, the business is the cinnabar industry, the mining industry, and the salt industry, which are all industries that deal with the royal government, and the profits in them are unimaginable. In the eyes of those wealthy people who make money every day, the Fang family, who mainly rely on land and cheap silk to make a living, naturally cannot make it to the stage. ”

Mo Xiangsi was shocked when she heard this, but, "But the Fang family still has at least the million taels you gave, and now when it comes to the clan family in Jiangnan, who can come up with so much money at once?" ”

Long Yuan smiled and said: "The quality of doing business does not depend on the amount of capital, but the ability to make money. is good at management, even if he starts from scratch, he is still prosperous and gathers wealth all over the world. And the incompetent...... My one million taels in your hands is just a waste. ”

"How did I waste it? I bought the land in Suzhou and Hangzhou at the lowest price, and by the autumn of this year, wouldn't the silver have doubled? Moreover, I also avoided the money that was paid to the imperial court last year for disaster relief! ”

Long Yuan said lightly: "It's too slow." Mo Xiangsi, as I said, what you are earning now is the pitiful copper plate in the hands of the small vendor downstairs. If I put this million taels in Biyue Tea House, I might be able to double it in ten days, but you have to use it for a year, which is too slow. ”

Mo Xiangsi opened his mouth, but finally said, "Then what do you want?" Get the money back? Go and cast into your antique calligraphy and paintings, and go mining! ”

Long Yuan sighed lightly and shook his head, it was too much trouble to talk to this woman, why couldn't she always find a point?

"Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. At the beginning, the Fang family was able to start with the field property, which shows that this is indeed a way to make money, the Fang family is now based on unstable foundation, mining and salt industry, there is no official document from the government, you have no qualifications to intervene at all, and the gold and silver valuables, now with the meager furniture of the Fang family, it is not enough to gain a foothold here, take a step back, the money village is related to the family, the silk has the Li family, they are all deep-rooted clans, and it is impossible to be shaken by you, a rising star, and once the Fang family plans to make any moves, I am afraid that they will be strangled in the bud, and the land is precisely because these wealthy families disdain it, so it is indeed a www.biquge.info that the Fang family can get involved in the rich family in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Mo Xiangsi said: "That means, what I did is still right?" ”

Long Yuan looked at her mockingly: "Crooked, what's there to be proud of?" Besides, your practice is to hire a group of people who will make trouble and make trouble, not to mention, this is too slow, in this year, most of the Fang family's money has been suppressed by this piece of land, and it can't be used for other purposes, which is the Fang family's loss. ”

Mo Xiangsi said: "But the Fang family, there aren't too many places to use silver recently?" ”

Long Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Aren't you going to open the Fang family's silk village all over Zhongzhou?" Doesn't this need silver? Furthermore, the Fang family's silk village can't rely only on the Li family after all, otherwise, it will not be the Fang family who will annex the Li family, but the Li family who will assimilate the Fang family. I let you get close to the Li family, so that the Fang family's embroidery girl can learn the arts, and open a silk village that can be comparable to or even better than the Li family, so that one day, you Mo Xiangsi raised his arms and shouted, the Li family's embroidery girl is willing to follow the Fang family, instead of Li Wanqian destroying the Fang family, the glass brocade can still appear in Zhongzhou, and the Fang family is becoming more and more dispensable to the Li family. Everywhere is a place where silver is to be used. And these are still the inherent industries of the Fang family, and the gold and silver precious objects I said, if the Fang family wants to become a giant, they should not get involved. The level of customers catered to Fangjiadian had to gradually move up from the common people to the high-ranking officials. (To be continued) R466
