Chapter 171: Centralized Purchase
Ma Jingren and Lu Shangyi heard Chen Wenhui's sentence "Eggs can't be put in one basket", and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense. Ma Jingren said: "Well, eggs can't be put in one basket, this is a very shallow word, but there is a big truth." Miss Xu, how about inviting you to my Yangzhou yard? β
Chen Wenhui had heard of the salt merchant's garden in her previous life, and even went to Suzhou Garden to see it. Now that I heard that I could go to Ma Jingren's garden to see, I was very happy and hurriedly agreed.
At this time, Mingzhu had already begun to look at the list of medicinal materials given by the officials, looked at it for a while, and said, "This eldest brother of the officials, can you show me these medicinal materials?" Are these precious ones? β
The official hurriedly agreed that he could. In fact, most people don't show it, after all, this price is much lower than the price on the market, so they generally don't show it. But Mingzhu is talking to Ma Jingren, Lord Thorn Shi respects this girl so much, can the official dare to say that he can't watch it?
As soon as Chen Wenhui heard this, she said, "Old man, Master Thorn Shi, I want to go with my sister to see the medicinal herbs, but I am out of company." β
Ma Jingren and Lu Shangyi hurriedly said yes. The two little girls followed the servants, and Ma Jingren said to Lu Shangyi: "Master Lu, this girl is really not simple, it reminds me of a person." β
Lu Shangyi was still sighing: "No wonder my wife always tells me that my family's Shumin is far worse than Miss Chen, and today I see that it is true." Not only is Miss Chen not simple, but this Miss Hu is not simple, in comparison, my tutoring method is wrong. I hurt my daughter, but fortunately, it's not too late, I want my wife to teach Shumin more when I go back, and I hope it's not too late to make amends. β
Ma Jingren ignored Lu Shangyi, and did not have the humility that a businessman should have when he saw an official, but said with a mocking look on his face: "You scholars, you are all uncivilized, you can see that people in the capital don't like to marry girls from scholars." β
Such ugly words. Lu Shangyi was not angry at all, but said with a smile: "What the old gentleman said is yes, it is the so-called reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles." In the past, I always buried myself in the scriptures and didn't know the world, but then my uncle told me about me and sent me to the northwest for a few years. This made me more enlightened, and I realized that there is a big gap between what is in the book and reality. Also, I've always looked down on these people in the family. I think they're all gentlemen. Now it seems. At least the family is much better at raising girls than we are scholars. β
Ma Jingren was amused.
Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu followed this servant to see the medicinal materials, there were really many precious medicinal materials, and there were also a small number of ordinary medicinal materials, and Mingzhu of ordinary medicinal materials didn't look at it at all. Mainly in the selection of precious medicinal materials, some medicinal materials are well preserved, some are not, Mingzhu quickly picked a lot, let the official to calculate the price.
When the official saw that Mingzhu had picked up all the good ones, he couldn't help crying and laughing. Wen Hui understood at a glance, and quietly gave Qiu Bi, the maid she was carrying, and Qiu Bi understood and walked over. pretended to ask the official a question, and quietly handed the official a purse. The official skillfully pinched his purse, and found that it was fluttering, and he was a little unhappy. Qiu Bi whispered: "Silver ticket." β
The sound was as thin as a mosquito, but in the ears of the officials, it was like a spring thunder. The officer turned and walked behind the pillar. Quietly opened it to see, it was actually a hundred taels of silver tickets, and there were two, and I was immediately happy, this is an unexpected gain, originally they all received cash, but the first batch of customers were friends of the assassin himself, and generally did not have their benefits, I didn't expect that this not only got benefits, but also more filial piety than the people who came to buy things introduced by their brothers.
Then the official was very happy to calculate the price for Mingzhu. Mingzhu returned satisfied. Then Chen Wenhui wanted to buy a shop, and this official was very enthusiastic and gave a serious introduction. Roughly speaking, these shops are located in Songjiang, Jiading, Suzhou City, and Yangzhou City.
Wen Hui thought that the shop in Yangzhou City must not be able to ask for it, so she had to give Ma Jingren a face. Songjiang and Jiading are places where silk and satin merchants are concentrated, and now every inch of land is expensive, but Wen Hui doesn't want to buy there, because there will inevitably be conflicts between the cotton business and the silk business at home, so it's better not to choose there. Besides, this Suzhou Province is not my own home territory, and it is inevitable that the business will not be easy to manage if it is not concentrated, and there are too many things to deal with, so it is better to buy the store in Suzhou City in a centralized manner.
After making up my mind, I began to carefully select the shop pΓΉ in Suzhou City, and finally picked it out, bought eight second-class shops pΓΉ, four first-class shop pΓΉ, and a very good, in the northeast corner of the city, there is a large courtyard, with a shop, the place is very large, because the location is biased, if it is too small as a house, and it is too big as a store, so it is not easy to sell, and the price is lower. Chen Wenhui is very satisfied, this is a good place to open a restaurant. I bought it without hesitation.
This time to buy a shop, it cost Wen Hui more than 200,000 taels of silver, and the official was very surprised that Chen Wenhui took out so many silver tickets, and then he knew that the little girl in front of him was a rich man. When Chen Wenhui finished buying it, he gave the official a purse. Inside is also two hundred taels of silver tickets. This official suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and quickly helped Wen Hui complete the formalities.
When Wen Hui and Mingzhu bought good things and went through the formalities, they happened to run into Lu Shangyi and Ma Jingren again. It's like they said hello and went away with the maids.
Lu Shangyi wondered: "Why did you buy it so quickly?" No, I'll have to see what they buy? β
After speaking, Lu Shangyi called the official over and asked for the account book of the transaction they had just made. Ma Jingren was also curious about what they were buying. I was busy and went over to take a look.
After reading it, Lu Shangyi was dumbfounded: "Is the Chen family so rich?" I actually bought more than 200,000 taels of silver, and I thought they were going to buy one or two shops to keep for business. Who knows to buy so much. By the way, how did they pay for it? β
The official said respectfully: "All the money paid is a silver ticket, not less at all, very refreshing." β
Ma Jingren was concerned about another question: "My lord, did you find that the shops that Miss Chen bought were all from Suzhou City?" β
As soon as he said this, Lu Shangyi discovered: "Yes, as soon as the old gentleman said it, I found out." Didn't she just say that you can't put all your eggs in one basket? Why did she just buy the Suzhou ones from the shops in the four places? β
Ma Jingren sneered and said: "You, you don't even have a little girl's brain, what she said is that I don't want to put my eggs in one basket, don't just buy land in Suzhou, let me buy it in the surrounding provinces, but not her own home." Her father was a thorn in Huzhou. There must be a land shop in Huzhou, her family is from the capital, there must be land in the capital, and the shop is pΓΉ, but isn't it that the eggs are not put in one basket? β
Lu Shangyi thought about it, his brain is really not as good as a little girl.
Ma Jingren said: "She didn't buy the shop pΓΉ in Yangzhou City because the old man said just now that she wanted to buy the shop pΓΉ in Yangzhou City." The reason why they did not buy those two cities was because they wanted to gather the shops into one city, so that it would be easy to manage, and it would be enough to send a servant. If you buy all three cities, don't you need at least three servants? β
Only then did Lu Shangyi understand. Say, "Oops. What a little girl's brain? In such a moment, she thought about so many twists and turns, and, you see, she didn't buy a single piece of jewelry and silk. Generally, as long as a woman can't stop this, she actually uses all the money to buy a store. It seems that there are still prodigies mentioned in the book, but I am afraid that they are rare in the world. β
Ma Jingren said softly: "I have seen such a girl, she is really smart." β
Lu Shangyi asked, "Who?" β
Ma Jingren said: "My lord, take me to see the paintings that the emperor wanted." β
Lu Shangyi hurriedly said: "Yes, I will take the old gentleman to see it." β
The two of them were walking, and Ma Jingren suddenly said, "I just saw that your booklet seemed to say that they had paid all the money and the formalities had been completed." β
Lu Shangyi said: "Yes." These two little girls are very neat. β
Ma Jingren said: "The officials of your assassination mansion are also very neat this time. β
Lu Shangyi said with a smile: "Yes, these people, if they don't knock, they are not honest, and they really got rid of the problem of procrastination." β
Ma Jingren suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Shangyi's smiling face seriously. Lu Shangyi, who was watching it, straightened his heart and said, "Old man, what do you want me to do?" β
Ma Jingren shook his head and said, "Forget it, the old man reminds you." You can let your daughter go to Miss Chen in two days. Let your girl and Miss Chen learn more. It is estimated that the two little girls can talk about going together. Maybe they will send meters to each other, so you can accept them generously. β
Lu Shangyi said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. for caring about the little girl, I will let the little girl teach the little girl more chores this time, and let her and Miss Chen and Miss Hu learn more." This girl's family is easy to become friends. β
Ma Jingren glanced at Lu Shangyi again, shook his head, and left, and Lu Shangyi hurriedly followed.
Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu returned to the Lan family, Mingzhu still had to sort out the medicinal materials, and Wen Hui went directly to Lan Shanghan, asked Lan Shanghan for some things, and went back.
Mingzhu said: "Sister, you see, this time I got so many precious medicinal materials, my mother will definitely be happy." Why weren't there so many medicinal herbs in Heyang City last time? β
Chen Wenhui said: "Heyang Prefecture is inland, and the rich people are all local rich people, of course, there are not as many medicinal materials as the rich merchants in Suzhou. β
Mingzhu thinks about it too. Chen Wenhui said: "My harvest is also very large, if I buy these shops at the normal price, I can't buy 400,000 taels, and they have always been priceless." β
Mingzhu stuck out her tongue when she heard this: "Spending so much money to buy these, it should be a good return, right?" β
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Of course, I inquired when I bought something before, and the income from this one is very good." Hahaha. β
Mingzhu held his forehead with one hand and said: "You are really a ghost, it turns out that you should have inquired about everything you should have asked when you went shopping a few days ago." Needless to say, it must have been the maids under your command who inquired, and there are really no weak soldiers under the strong generals. β
Wen Hui smiled proudly.
