Chapter 115: Back to Business
Soon after Ms. Chen's dismissal, many families began to sleepless. Now this news is only known to people inside the yamen. It will be a few days before the people of the yamen begin to draw up official documents, which will be implemented only after the list is announced.
However, the keen residents of Qingchun City have already discovered that those officials of the official office have begun to sell land and shop for it.
Ms. Chen did not prohibit officials from spreading the news. Therefore, Gui Yuxia discussed with Da Niu when she returned home.
Da Niu thought for a long time and said: "After this policy is down, our manor will be sold a lot. This may affect our fragrant flower business. I'm afraid that if people don't grow fragrant flowers, I won't be able to collect so many raw materials. ”
Gui Yuxia said: "Our family doesn't have extra shops, but there are really too many fields. It's also not easy to take care of. Just sell a large part of it according to what the county lord said. Just keep 2,000 acres of fragrant flower fields. When you sell the land, you can sign an agreement with the buyer to continue to grow fragrant flowers, and only sell it to you, so that we can sell the land at a price that is better than the market price. I'm sure someone will be willing to buy it. Wouldn't you have to worry about the supply? It's also easy to take care of. Although Guida has taken care of us well at these times, we still have to worry a little more, if there is less, we can also worry less, focus more on business, and make more money. ”
Da Niu thought about it and said, "You have a good idea." That's it. I think that as long as we make a little price, there must be people who are willing to grow fragrant flowers. Let's be honest. Growing fragrant flowers is much more profitable than growing rice. Many people don't plant because they don't know how to plant, or because they are afraid that no one will harvest after planting. If you don't know how to plant it, we can recommend Guida to plant it for them. As for the fear that no one will accept it, it is even simpler, we sign the contract in advance, I will buy it all, maybe the buyer will be happy. ”
Gui Yuxia smiled and nodded.
Da Niu said: "Since it has been decided, we have to sell it quickly, and when the policy comes down in the future, everyone will start selling." The price of land must be reduced. That's right. Can the county lord let this matter be passed on? ”
Gui Yuxia said: "This time, the county lord did not issue a gag order. ”
Da Niu said: "Then you must quickly inform our in-laws." Also, I have some business friends that I would like to inform. They also have a lot of land. And yes. I also have some friends who have just come from Da Chu. They had some money, and they wanted to buy a house and a shop. Buy the land, but now the land in Qingchun City, the shops are rarely sold, they are not easy to buy for a while, but now it is good, this is the time for them to buy. ”
Gui Yuxia said: "I have already posted to them, and I guess they will all come over after dinner." Your friends, tell them tomorrow. While we have time, we will also discuss the matter of investment. ”
Da Niu said: "The investment thing is a big deal. I still have a spare amount of money in my hand, and in a few days, there will be a sum of incense money to be received, and a sum of essence money to be collected. This investment channel is too good. ”
Gui Yuxia's face changed for a moment, and she said in a half-loud voice: "I'm not talking about investing in Xincheng, I want to buy an embroidery workshop." ”
Da Niu suddenly realized, thinking about it, Gui Yuxia is not from an official eunuch, she is from a civilian background, and the field she has always been most familiar with is her embroidery room. As the No. 1 embroiderer in Da Chu, how can she give up such an opportunity?
Da Niu said: "Yuxia, if you want to buy the county lord's embroidery house, I will support you, and we will not invest in the new city, so we will use all the money to buy an embroidery house." ”
Gui Yuxia's expression was a little strange and said, "I'm afraid we don't have enough money, but the county lord said that Nanyang Bank can give us a loan." I calculated, you borrowed 30,000 taels of silver before, and all of them were paid off, we are considered to have good credit, and the bank should increase the credit limit for us, I think there should be no problem with borrowing 50,000 taels of silver. But this is not enough to add our silver. ”
Da Niu was a little surprised and asked: "It's just a workshop, and the embroidery room doesn't need many tools, but some silk, silk thread, embroidery bandages, embroidery shelves, tables, chairs and benches, etc., how can it be so expensive?" ”
Gui Yuxia said: "These things are very cheap. But how can the county lord's embroidery room be compared with the ordinary embroidery workshop. Now there are ten embroidery workshops in Qingchun City, all of which belong to the county lord alone. Each of these ten families has a workshop, a large yard, all kinds of tools, a canteen, a garden for resting, a storeroom, everything is available. In addition to these, the most important thing is that each of these ten embroidery rooms has its own brand and its own customers. ”
In this way, Da Niu somewhat understood that the furniture in these workshops was not worth anything, but these customers were worth more. Da Niu always dealt with the merchants of Da Chu, and he also knew that compared to the big business of his fragrant flower business and the flavor and fragrance business, the small ones could not be smaller. The business of the county lord's mansion is mainly gold and silver jewelry, furniture, embroidery, porcelain, iron, tin, bronze, silver, lacquerware. It was mainly founded by the craftsmen of the Internal Affairs Office who gave it to the county lord's mansion together with Gui Yuxia. These things are all high-quality products, exquisite skills, and are deeply loved by Dachu merchants.
Gui Yuxia continued: "These ten embroidery workshops are managed by our eight sisters who left the palace at the beginning, and two are managed by the embroidery girls of Cuijin Building. I guess it's not just me who wants to build an embroidery room, but the seven sisters must also want to build an embroidery workshop. ”
This is true, who would give up such an opportunity to make money?
Gui Yuxia said: "I manage this embroidery workshop, most of the apprentices I personally led, I personally taught, I know the technology, and I still have the status of master and apprentice, it should not be difficult to manage." As long as you can put the embroidery workshop down, although it costs more, but you don't have to worry about the order, you will be able to earn it back in the future, I think, I shouldn't be able to lose money. ”
Da Niu thought to himself, if you, the needle god of Da Chu, open an embroidery workshop and lose money, then who will make money? However, what Yuxia said is also that the apprentices in this embroidery workshop are all brought out by her personally, and some are her apprentices, that is, the apprentices brought out by the apprentices. It should be easy to manage.
Da Niu said: "As long as we can take down the embroidery workshop, we will not lose money." So what are you waiting for? ”
Gui Yuxia said: "We don't have enough money, even if we don't have enough loans?" Also, even if I had enough money, I didn't have that much time. I thought about it, if I really put down the embroidery workshop, I would resign from my official position. Originally, this official position was dedicated to the management of craftsmen. In the future, all the qiē workshops have been sold, and the craftsmen are gone, who else will I manage? Of course, our engineering department is also in charge of the Qingchun City project, but I don't know much about this. In the past, Wu Cheng was in charge. Later, he went to Suzaku Castle and recommended one of his subordinates to take over his job. His subordinate was the child of the Hei family, the grandson of the master who designed Qingchun City. Young and promising, for some reasons he was not admitted to the children of the black family, and he was idle at home. Later, Qingchun City recruited officials, and he passed the examination and went to our engineering department. It's been a good job in the past few years. I think that Chen An and I are gone, and he will definitely be able to take over as the director and manage it well. However, even if I resign from the official position of the yamen, we still have these housework and children to take care of. Where can I have too much time to manage the workshop? Although the embroiderers in those workshops are my apprentices, a workshop is not only about managing embroiderers, but also managing finances, managing warehouses, pulling orders, and collecting accounts, and I am afraid that I will not be able to be busy. ”
Da Niu thought about it for a while, and this is a problem. He is a fragrant flower shop and a flavor workshop, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to manage the farm. Compared with the business of the embroidery workshop, his shop and workshop are far behind. At that time, Gui Yuxia will be busier than being an official, who will take care of the children? However, it's a pity to give up like this, these problems are very real, practical problems, if they are not solved, Yuxia will have no way to take down the workshop. Since you encounter a problem, you must solve it, this is the method that you have learned to do business in the past few years. How to solve the problem, thinking about it, Da Niu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "I seem to remember that your embroidery workshop, Jinxia and Yinxia are also here, right?" ”
Gui Yuxia said: "Of course, they are all big stewards, and they also bring a lot of apprentices. Besides, they were my apprentices too. ”
Da Niu said: "Jin Xia, Yin Xia, their family's business is good now. Luo Hu and Wei Gang also paid off the money they borrowed from the bank. Now we will definitely be able to lend more money, why don't we let them also take shares, what do you think? Gather the money of our three families in this way, and you three sisters will open an embroidery workshop, okay? ”
Gui Yuxia's eyes flashed with brilliance.
Da Niu continued: "If the money of the three of us is combined, I estimate that it should be enough." The money matter is settled, and the rest is to manage the business. Since it is the business of the three families, then Jin Xia and Yin Xia also have to participate in the management, they also have shares, and it is also their own business, so that the three sisters work together, separate the work, and manage each piece, isn't it easy, and it won't delay you to take care of the children? Actually, I see, Jin Xia and Yin Xia are both very capable. What a good thing it is that you have three more helpers like that. It just so happens that you have sent them a post, and when they come, we will discuss it with them. If it works, we will quickly start selling the land, selling the shop, taking out loans, and raising money. ”
Gui Yuxia was very happy, seeing that she could go back to her embroidery workshop again, and this time, it was still her own embroidery workshop, how happy it was. (To be continued......)
