Chapter 4: Wasted Expressions
"This nerd. Hehe! ”
After Guo Dan went down, Zhou Fengwu couldn't stop laughing to himself, and he could only say that Guo Dan's upright attitude was really a bit excessive. Shaking his head, he said with emotion: "I think that the old man Kou has been shrewd all his life, but he has planted such a big heel on this heir, but it is really a wise man's thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Liu Chengbian and said, "If Old Man Kou had promised to marry your Liu family, I am afraid that you would have the final say in the entire tooth industry, how could there be today!" ”
Liu Chengchang's face changed slightly, and he didn't answer.
Zhou Feng continued: "The virtuous nephew must be very disappointed at this time. ”
Liu Chengbian was stunned and said, "What does Uncle Zhou mean by this?" ”
Zhou Feng laughed and said: "You asked me to ask the Kou family to come, just to meet Miss Kou, but I never thought that the old man Kou still had hope for that nerd." ”
A touch of embarrassment flashed in Liu Chengbian's eyes, but he said: "The little nephew just wants to compete fairly with the Kou family, and if he wants to win, he will win above board, of course, our Liu family will definitely not lose." ”
"I appreciate your self-confidence." Zhou Feng said with a straight face: "Regarding the matter of Chen Lou, what do you think about the virtuous nephew?" ”
Liu Cheng's expression changed, and he said: "Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be a problem to buy Chen Lou, because Chen Lou can't last long, the problem is the price, based on the land price around Liang Yuan, the entire Chen Building is worth about three thousand five hundred taels, but I think Uncle Zhou is a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink, with Uncle Zhou's financial resources, he won't care about this restaurant, so the little nephew thinks that what Uncle Zhou wants most is actually Chen Lou's kitchen." ”
Three thousand five hundred taels may not sound like much, but it is not a small amount now!
If calculated according to the price of grain, this tael of silver is about equivalent to 600 yuan, 3,500 taels, that is, more than 2 million yuan, but because of the difference in output, production level, and productivity between the two eras, the current cost of living must also be considered.
Nowadays, ordinary people's homes, a year's expenditure, is about 20 taels, and now the housing prices in the prosperous area of the capital are almost 1.5 taels of silver per square meter, Liang Yuan because of the good location, probably every square meter of two taels, because the current Ming Dynasty is still a small peasant economy, people are scattered, the house for the people of the Ming Dynasty, is not a big problem.
"Clever."
A flash of praise flashed in Zhou Feng's eyes, and he said, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" ”
Liu Chengbian said with five fingers: "One thousand five hundred taels, a total of five thousand taels." ”
Zhou Feng groaned for a moment, nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”
In fact, the kitchen refers to the chef or the secret recipe of the dish, and now the chef of the restaurant is either related to the owner of the restaurant, or he signs a lifelong contract with the restaurant, which is equivalent to being bound to the restaurant, because if it is bound to the boss, then it will be very troublesome to buy and sell.
And these chefs, or the secret methods of the dishes, are worth 1,500 taels, which shows that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty already have a very high consciousness, and they know that this talent is the key, not the house.
And over there, Guo Dan went downstairs and didn't forget to take away those packed meals.
Of course, he didn't pay, he didn't have a banquet, so he had to pay some errands, no matter how small this mosquito was, it was meat, and besides, his pocket money for a month was not very much.
Guo Dan was not in a hurry to go back, but slowly went to Liang Yuan behind the Golden Tower.
"Big brother, big brother."
The little beggar came running from the side.
"Take it." Guo Dan handed him the small bamboo basket in his hand.
"It smells so good!" The little beggar took a deep breath and swallowed again, "This is the dish of Jinyulou?" ”
"Hmm!"
Guo Dan nodded: "I just tasted a little." ”
"Thank you, big brother. Thank you big brother! The little beggar took the basket, his little face was full of joy, where would he care if he had eaten it or not, and muttered, "My mother will be very happy to see it." ”
Guo smiled lightly and said, "If you have time to go to Chen Lou in the afternoon, I will give you another dinner." ”
"Really?" The little beggar couldn't believe it.
Guo Dan nodded and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Cao Xiaodong."
Cao Xiaodong looked at Guo Dan curiously, and said curiously: "Big brother, why are you so good to me." ”
Guo Dan just smiled and said, "Remember, if you have time in the afternoon, you will come to Chen Lou." ”
"I... I will definitely go. Cao Xiaodong's excited words couldn't be said clearly.
In his opinion, it may be that he has encountered a living bodhisattva who saves suffering.
As everyone knows, Guo Dan is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the money he takes the initiative to give is all with interest attributes.
After the little beggar left with the food, Guo Dan walked around Liang Yuan again, bought some snacks casually, and while eating, while watching the beautiful scenery of Liang Yuan, I couldn't help but sigh, I used to fly around a lot, and I only thought about how to make more money, but I never thought of stopping for a moment to enjoy the scenery along the way, alas... I really don't know if I'm gaining more or losing more?
After swimming for a long time, Guo Dan saw that the time was almost up, so he quietly went to Chen Lou.
But he didn't go directly to Chen Lou, but to the mansion behind Chen Lou.
After the report, Guo Dan entered the hall and saw an old man with black and white hair and a slightly chubby body sitting inside.
This old man is the proprietor of Chen Lou, Chen Fangyuan.
Guo Dan took a step forward and arched his hand: "The younger generation took the liberty to visit, and if you disturb you, please forgive me for it." ”
Chen Fangyuan just stretched out his hand very casually, his eyes full of hostility.
Guo lightly thanked him, and then sat down.
Chen Fangyuan glanced at it and said, "If you are entrusted by Zhou Feng's child, then you don't have to bother much. It can be seen that he has received the news that Zhou Feng has changed his strategy and plans to find a tooth shop to help buy his Chen Lou.
Guo smiled lightly: "I heard that there is already a intention to sell a store outside the staff, in this case, who is not selling?" ”
Chen Fangyuan's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and he said, "I will not sell anyone to Zhou Feng's despicable villain." ”
Guo Dan said: "It seems that the staff is still holding a grudge against Zhou Feng for framing Chen Lou with wine. ”
Chen Fangyuan snorted: "It's good if you know." ”
Guo said lightly: "But what if Jin Yulou is willing to pay 10,000 taels?" ”
"Don't even think about ...... 10,000 taels." Chen Fangyuan was halfway through speaking, suddenly closed his mouth, and said in his ear: "How much did you just say?" ”
"Ten thousand taels."
Guo Dan raised a finger and said word by word.
Chen Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It is said that the uncle of the Kou family will not do business, and now it seems that this is really the case, that Zhou Feng is despicable and despicable, but I have to say that his person is very shrewd, how can he be willing to pay 10,000 taels, you must have drunk too much, didn't hear clearly." ”
How much Chen Lou is worth, of course he also knows in his heart, it is definitely not worth one or two thousand, this is simply doubled, how is it possible.
Guo Dan smiled slightly: "Why do you want to say this, I'll ask you, 10,000 taels, do you sell it or not?" ”
Chen Fangyuan frowned and glanced at Guo Dan, and said, "If Jin Yulou is willing to pay 10,000 taels, of course I will sell it." ”
Guo Dan shrugged and said, "That's not it." ”
Chen Fangyuan became more and more puzzled: "But how could Jin Yulou be willing to pay 10,000 taels." ”
Guo Dan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he wants it or not, the important thing is that I want to sell it to him for 10,000 taels." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The more Chen Fangyuan listened, the more confused he became.
Guo Dan said: "Let's be simple, I'll help you sell it for 10,000 taels, but I'll score 2,000 taels." ”
"Two thousand taels?"
Chen Fangyuan got up abruptly and said, "You are simply daydreaming. ”
According to the rules of the dental industry, the dental merchant generally takes three points of profit, which is already a lot, and two thousand taels is two percent, which is unimaginable in the dental industry!
Guo smiled lightly: "Could it be that the staff would rather earn a few thousand taels less than I earn two thousand taels?" ”
This price was indeed a little uncomfortable for Chen Fangyuan, he glanced at Guo Dan, sat down again, and asked, "Who are you here for?" ”
Of course he had heard of Guo Dan's deeds, if Guo Dan was serious, then he thought that there must be someone behind Guo Dan.
Who knows that Guo said lightly: "Myself." ”
"The Kou family?"
"Nope."
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I, Guo Dan." ”
Chen Fangyuan looked at Guo Dan with doubts.
Guo smiled lightly: "Outside, let's do business, we talk about money, you just say this condition, do you accept it?" Does it matter who I'm here for? ”
Chen Fangyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Having said that, I also have to know who I'm working with. ”
Guo Dan said helplessly: "Haven't I already answered, you are cooperating with me Guo Dan." ”
Chen Fangyuan said: "To put it mildly, your reputation in the tooth shop is not very good!" ”
"That's because there's less money."
Guo Dan shook his head, and said seriously: "I don't have any interest in trading with a commission of less than one thousand taels." ”
Chen Fangyuan was so angry and funny when he heard it, and said: "You kid has no ability, your tone is really not small, have you ever seen a tooth man charge a commission of one thousand taels." ”
Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "I think that's why my reputation is not very good, because when I see such a little commission, I feel that it is a waste of my time, and only by deliberately messing up the business, the Kou family will not let me run here and there every day." ”
"Really?"
"If the outsiders think I'm bragging, we can sign a gambling contract."
"VAM contract?"
"Yes, if I help you sell it for 10,000 taels, you will lose me 500 taels, plus 2,000 taels of commission, a total of 2,500 taels, if I don't do it, I will lose 500 taels to you."
Chen Fangyuan really wanted to spray Guo Dan when he heard this, and said: "Your appetite is really not small, and I want to take five hundred taels out of this sentence." ”
"But you may also get five hundred taels outside of the staff, and this contract is equal for both of us." Guo smiled lightly.
Chen Fangyuan was silent.
Guo Dan said again: "It's because you don't believe me, so I said that." In fact, during this period, I don't need you to spend any extra money, you just need to do what I say, so if you believe me, then you don't need to sign the gambling contract. ”
Chen Fangyuan asked, "Then I don't know what you want me to do?" ”
Guo Dan said: "First of all, go to the Kou family to help you sell the restaurant." ”
Chen Fangyuan looked at Guo Dan in astonishment, his mind couldn't turn anymore.
Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "I just said that I am here for myself, but if I let the Kou family know about this, then this commission does not belong to me, so I can't come forward, so I must find someone to come forward for me, in this case, why not cheap my own family." ”
Chen Fangyuan said sarcastically: "What a good family member." ”
Guo Dan sneered: "It's really a waste of talent to do business outside the staff, I think the outside should be a county official to judge whose morality is more noble, but it can also be seen that the decline of Chen Lou is also reasonable." ”
Chen Fangyuan's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "You kid dares to laugh at the old man." ”
"Alas... What a waste of expressions. ”
Guo Dan sighed, stood up, and arched his hand: "Farewell." ”
