Unexpectedly tapping new business opportunities (2)
Boss Li took Yu Zhinuan and the three of them to his shop, and sure enough, there were many doors, there were no guests, only a small servant was dozing off in boredom, and when the boss and the three girls came in, he woke up suddenly.
Boss Li looked at this situation, and could only shake his head helplessly, and said, "Girl, please, Ah Ming, pour tea." ”
Yu Zhinuan calmly sat on the wooden chair on the side, looking at the deserted store, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Boss Li himself was also aware of his current situation, looking at Yu Zhinuan's eyes, he only sighed helplessly, and said, "What does the girl mean when she said that she wants to talk to me about business?" ”
Yu Zhinuan smiled: "I was at the door of Liao Ji, and I overheard you talking to Boss Liao, listening to what you mean, it seems that you want to sell the cloth village to Boss Liao, but the price doesn't seem to be negotiated." ”
Boss Li let out a long sigh of helplessness again and said, "That's true, my store ...... I can't open it anymore, and now my family is in urgent need of money, so I plan to sell the shop out. ”
"May I take the liberty of asking, how much does Boss Liao pay?" Yu Zhinuan said.
Boss Li looked at the little girl in front of him with a calm expression, sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Only five hundred taels!" ”
"Five hundred taels, including shops and fabrics, why didn't he grab it!" Yu Zhinuan heard the grievances.
"Alas......" Boss Li said: "There is someone behind the Liao Ji cloth, except for his family, no one dares to take my shop, and I am ...... I can't help it. ”
Yu Zhinuan was puzzled: "What is the explanation?" ”
It turns out that this boss Liao is a distant relative of Mrs. Tang's family in Yongzhou Prefecture, his ancestors have always been in the fabric business, he is a slippery head, and he is best at two-sided and three-knife, but he is honest, respectful and filial piety in the Tang family, but he has no less use of the Tang family's fox fake tiger power. He had long taken a fancy to Li Ji's shop, so he united several cloth decoration companies to exert pressure together, snatching Li Ji's customers at a low price, forcing Li Ji to sell the store to survive now.
This Boss Li is also an honest man, where can he withstand them such a toss, and the production and processing of fabrics require a lot of manpower and material resources, and then deliberately reduce the price is just a loss to make money. Those big cloth villages have the confidence to do this, but he is just a small business, how dare he.
Originally, there were some old customers who thought that the quality of this cloth was good, and they were willing to come to the door, barely able to maintain, but then Li Ji had a quality accident, about buying his family's fabric to make clothes with skin allergies, and no one came to buy Li Ji's cloth after they made a big fuss, and it was only half a month, and it was in the current situation.
After hearing this, Yu Zhinuan said with a smile: "A clear-eyed person knows at a glance that the quality incident was clearly framed by Liao Ji. ”
Boss Li's back was a little rickety, obviously only in his early forties, but his face was full of old age, and he said weakly: "What if I know that it is framed, I can still find him to argue if it can't be done, and he won't admit it." Because of these things, my mother died of a sudden serious illness, and Uchiko was already unwell, which will be even more seriously ill, and now she needs money urgently, what can I do if I don't sell the shop, it's just that, it's ......"
Yu Zhinuan said unwillingly: "Do you just bear to be chased and bullied like this, and then sell your hard work in obscurity?" ”
Boss Li's cloudy eyes looked at Yu Zhinuan and said, "The girl has another way." ”
Yu Zhinuan smiled and said, "I haven't introduced myself to Boss Li yet, my surname is Yu, and I am also a businessman." ”
"Surname Yu ......?" Boss Li thought for a while and said, "You are the one from the Yu Mansion?" ”
"That's right, I'm Yu Zhinuan, and I'm also the boss of Rouge and Pot."
Boss Li is also a businessman in the end, so he naturally heard about the sudden rise of Rouge and the acquisition of Hongyanfang, the largest rouge shop in Fucheng. Hearing this, he arched his hand and said to Yu Zhinuan: "It turned out to be Boss Yu, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Yu Zhinuan said with a smile: "I am very distressed when I hear what happened to Boss Li, but in business, I can't be rash, so ...... Boss Liao paid 500 taels to buy your shop, and I paid 1,500 taels to buy your shop and fabrics, see if you can. ”
"This ......" Boss Li's eyes were obviously full of joy, and after a while, he said a little entangled: "This is naturally excellent, but Boss Liao said before, whoever dares to sell my shop, he will not let it go." Although Boss Yu is kind enough to help, I don't want you to suffer such an unwarranted disaster! ”
Yu Zhinuan looked at Boss Li with appreciation, this is a principled and bottom-line person. She smiled: "Boss Li is relieved, his Boss Liao is just a distant relative of Mrs. Tang, and I am still a friend of Lord Tang, a little Liao Ji, I don't dare to do anything to me." ”
Hearing this, Boss Li nodded happily, he vaguely heard the rumor that the owner of the Yu Mansion was the illegitimate daughter of a certain official in Beijing, but in any case, people are willing to help at this time, which is a great help.
Yu Zhinuan said again: "I have limited manpower over there, and after taking down your shop, I still want to hire you to manage this store, but how to run it, I still have the final say, you think it's good." ”
Boss Li was naturally overjoyed, this was the industry left by his father, and he was reluctant to lose in his own hands after all, he originally thought that he would have nothing to do with himself if he sold it, but he didn't expect to be able to work in the shop, so he was naturally happy.
Yu Zhinuan took out his purse, counted it, and said: "I don't have much money today, only three hundred taels, I will give it to you first, it will be regarded as a deposit, and I hope to help you temporarily solve your urgent needs, and I will send someone to send the rest over tomorrow." ”
Yu Zhinuan added: "But...... I still say the same thing, in business, after all, I am a businessman, and I can't do loss-making business, so you have to sign a contract with me, and when I send the money tomorrow, I hope you will give me the title deed of the shop. ”
In the end, it is a shop that has been in business for many years, and it is reluctant to sell it like this. But no matter how reluctant he is, it's better than just ruining the store to Liao Ji, Boss Li nodded heavily and said, "Just do what Boss Yu said." ”
Yu Zhinuan nodded, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote a simple draft contract, both parties signed and pledged, and Yu Zhinuan generously gave the silver ticket to the other party.
She looked at Boss Li's lost expression and said with relief: "Boss Li, I know that you are reluctant to give up your own shop, but please believe that I will bring this cloth village back to life." ”
Boss Li smiled: "Boss Yu is polite, I naturally believe you." ”
Yu Zhinuan nodded and said, "It's also fate, I came out today to choose fabrics for my family, since this shop is already mine, can I choose some to bring back." ”
Boss Li said: "As you said, it's already your shop, you...... Take care of yourself. ”
Yu Zhinuan nodded, and went to choose the fabric with Ning Xiang and Fuxi. The more Yu Zhinuan looked, the more she felt that she had picked up a treasure, although Li Ji's reputation was not as good as Liao Ji's, but the quality of the material was really nothing to say, and the price was fair, even if there was no purchase of the cloth village, she was willing to buy here.
Yu Zhinuan happily chose some favorite cloths and returned to the Yu house happily.
