Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sensational Yaowan Town
The first porcelain branch of "Kangjing Shengshi" was opened in full swing in Yaowan Town.
Rehabilitation Ji personally sat in the town, invited rich businessmen and dignitaries from all walks of life in Yaowan Town, and everyone in Yaowan Town was surprised when they heard that it was a porcelain shop opened by Luohe Kang's family, and they all wanted to see what this legendary super-rich man looked like.
Xiaohua was also transferred from Zhenjiang Mansion by Kang Damao, responsible for the recruitment and marketing guidance of the porcelain shop, and now the specific store things are all handed over to Xiaohua to be responsible.
I haven't seen her for a while, Xiaohua is becoming more and more mature and steady, she has an outstanding temperament, and she has a feeling of standing out from the crowd, which makes many merchants naturally stay together, some appreciate the beauty and temperament of the female shopkeeper, and some of the sons who think they are handsome and talented are thinking that it would be good if they could get acquainted with this beautiful woman.
Xiaohua kept greeting guests, not to mention, there were really a lot of merchants unconsciously walked into the store, soon, some of the owners who looked rich were invited to the second floor, the second floor is not only full of fine porcelain, and has long prepared tea and snacks for these merchants to eat, as the saying goes, eat people with soft mouths, take people short, so that many merchants will inevitably have to go around the store after eating to choose one or two pieces of porcelain, which is also a successful marketing means.
After greeting the guest Xiaohua came to Kang Damao's side to say hello, she also hurried to receive Kang Damao's letter before, and went directly to work before she had time to chat, now she is finally busy with a little time, Xiaohua looked at Kang Damao's eyes at this time full of appreciation and admiration, in fact, in her heart Kang Damao will always be the head of the family, is the pillar of the family, no matter how capable she is, she is also to Kang Damao's burden, the reason why she takes care of business so hard is also to get Kang Damao's recognition.
Fu Ji saw that this strange woman in business admired her son so much, and his heart blossomed, things were just as he expected, it seemed that the Kang family's business really had to be taken care of by this woman in the future.
Some people are happy and some are worried, looking at Rehabilitation Ji's appreciative eyes for Xiaohua, Linglong felt sad for a while, Xiaohua has gradually taken power in the Kang family, and Shen Luojun has already shared a room with Kang Damao, only she is still following Kang Damao like a fart, it would be good if she could always accompany her Damao brother to the rivers and lakes, but can it really be as she wishes?
Linglong knows very well in her heart that Kang Damao doesn't know the identity of her daughter's family now, he has always treated himself as a younger brother, if she tells him the truth, I don't know how he will feel, Linglong doesn't dare to take risks, she is afraid that she won't even have the opportunity to follow Kang Damao in the future, looking at the jade bracelet given by Kang's mother on her hand, now Linglong can only hope for Kang's mother, maybe, she still has a chance.
At this moment, the noisy sound of gongs and drums came from the other side of the street, the sound became louder and louder, the whole street was boiling, and when I got closer, I saw that it was a lion dance troupe, yes, this was a famous lion dance troupe invited by Fujiji from elsewhere, and the atmosphere at the door of the store was instantly stirred, and there were more onlookers, and the whole street was overcrowded with people in front of their houses, while there were few customers in and out of other shops.
There are also some foreigners in the crowd around the store, all of them are watching the excitement, not to mention, the non-stop sound of firecrackers and the lion dance troupe at the door of the store have caused a sensation in the entire Yaowan Town, this is the first time Kang Damao has been so high-profile, they just want to make a big noise and attract the attention of the smuggling gang.
"Good boy! is really rich, and the scene is so grand. ”
"Of course, you don't look at who the boss is behind this."
"Who? Let's hear it. ”
"That's the famous rich man Rehabilitation Ji of Luohe Kangdian, this Kang family is amazing, it is said that the Kang family has been rich for many generations since the Ming Dynasty, and now the accumulated wealth of this generation has been rich enough to rival the country, tsk! I'm so envious! ”
"According to reliable sources, there is a treasure in our newly opened Kangjing Shengshi porcelain shop in Yaowan Town, which is a Yuan blue and white porcelain, which is said to have been auctioned at a sky-high price of 800,000 taels of silver in Jingdezhen at that time."
"What? 800,000 taels, isn't it crazy? ”
"Alas! You don't understand the world of rich people, this is not the point, the point is that people don't sell it at all, this sky-high blue and white porcelain is now in the store, everyone, do you want to go to watch it together, no matter you, I went first. ”
At the door of the store, everyone was chattering, and finally everyone rushed in, all to see the Yuan blue and white peacock flower pattern eight-sided gourd bottle that Rehabilitation Ji has been cherishing in Jingdezhen, they didn't know that this superb porcelain had already been put on the second floor to take care of, and if they wanted to go upstairs, they would have to be tricked by Xiaohua's tea and pastry routine, but it was worth it to see with their own eyes the Yuan blue and white quilt routine of 800,000 taels of silver.
A new porcelain shop was opened on the street, and it was so hot on the opening day that it successfully attracted the attention of Yin Hongxu, who was also in the porcelain business.
"Okay, you Kang Damao, robbed my beloved woman, and now you actually come to rob Lao Tzu's business again, rob my woman and cut off my wealth, you are forcing me to kill you." Yin Hongxu's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said.
At this time, there was another foreigner sitting in the store, it was he who rescued Yin Hongxu from Kang Damao and others, and this shop was also opened by the two of them, just to hide people's eyes and ears, sell counterfeit precious porcelain on weekdays, and secretly do porcelain smuggling.
"Louis, don't be angry, I have my own way to deal with this Kang Damao, just let him be arrogant for a few days. There is an old Chinese saying: the higher you climb, the more painful it hurts to fall! The foreigner said to Yin Hongxu in French, but the last sentence he said in awkward Chinese, of course, Louis in his mouth was Yin Hongxu's French name.
Yin Hongxu heard the foreigner next to him say this, he took a heavy breath before temporarily suppressing the anger in his heart, he believed in the foreigner's words, he waited for Kang Damao's fate a few days later, thinking of this, the corner of his mouth flashed a sinister smile.
"Kangjing Shengshi" porcelain shop opened in the bustle and also ended in the hustle and bustle, closed the door, busy day, Kang Damao led everyone to find a good restaurant, the new store opened everyone to celebrate.
It took four tables of banquets in the restaurant to settle all the staff in the store, and a few people who knew each other sat at a table alone, and there was no discrimination, and the wine and food were all the same, very rich.
Kang Damao took the lead in holding the wine glass, which was regarded as washing the dust of Xiaohua and welcoming Xiaohua's arrival.
Subsequently, Xiaohua made a report very sensibly, the business of Zhenjiang Mansion porcelain shop has now been handed over to Abao to take care of, after all, Abao is his own person, after several times and Kang Damao's life and death, now he can be completely trusted, moreover, he has been helping in the store, he can already be on his own, it is very reassuring to hand it over to him, of course, this is also what Kang Damao means, but others don't know.
Fuxing Ji was quite satisfied with Xiaohua's arrangement, he never asked his son about his business, and saw that his son was looking for trustworthy helpers, and these people were doing things in an orderly manner, and the porcelain shop was very prosperous, so he drank two more glasses while being happy.
Putting down the wine glass, Fu Ji pinched his beard and said loudly: "Since the focus of business is now on Yaowan Town, let's buy a house here, you can't let the group of people who follow you live in a guest house all day long, this is not our Kang family's style of doing things." ”
Kang Damao also felt that his father was right, but at present, he was a little short of money, and he had just opened a store and imported a large number of porcelain from Jingdezhen, and now he was really a little powerless to buy a house.
Before Kang Damao could speak, Fu Ji inadvertently glanced back, and the entourage who had been standing behind him immediately took out a stack of silver tickets and gently put them on the wine table, and everyone was immediately stunned, there were about a dozen silver tickets at a glance, and the top one was a little scary, it turned out to be a face value of 10,000 taels of silver, could it be that these are 10,000 taels of silver tickets below?
Oh my god! It is worthy of being the head of the Kang family, a super-rich man, and he is generous, the guys and salespeople at the next table have their eyes straightened, and a few of the bolder ones have stood up, and it is the first time they have seen a silver ticket with a face value of 10,000 taels of silver.
"Father, what are you? For me? Kang Damao asked in disbelief, this seemed to be the first time his father took the initiative to give him silver.
Rehabilitation Ji smiled and nodded.
Erhu saw the owner nodding, he looked at Kang Damao with a smile and looked at the silver ticket on the table, his eyes lit up, and he smiled habitually picked up the silver ticket and wanted to count it.
"Little rabbit cub, don't order it, 100,000 taels, just buy a big house in Yaowan Town, don't embarrass our Kang family." Although Rehabilitation Ji looked at the stupid Erhu, he said this to Kang Damao.
Erhu touched his head in embarrassment.
After drinking two more glasses, he went back to rest first, saying that he was old and his energy was not as good as before, so let the young people eat and drink to their heart's content.
After Rehabilitation Ji left, a group of young people immediately let go, and they were all studying where to buy a house?
At the beginning, I searched for several places in Zhenjiang Mansion and finally ruthlessly bought a garden-style mansion covering an area of more than 40 acres, but it was only 68,000 yuan, and after bargaining, I finally bought it for 48,000 taels of silver, and now I have 100,000 taels of silver.
Subsequently, Kang Damao whispered to Xiaohua who was sitting next to him that the purpose of opening a branch here was to use the porcelain shop as bait to attract the attention of the smuggling gang, and there was no need to hide it from his own people, Xiaohua nodded silently after hearing this, of course she supported Kang Damao.
"Luo Jun, why don't you also open a branch in Yaowan Town, our two families will join forces, there will always be one that can attract the attention of the porcelain smuggling gang, our Kang family has fallen out with these Dongying and French, compared to our Kang family, your Shen family is easier for them to accept as outsiders, what do you say, Luo Jun?" After Kang Damao finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Shen Luojun who was sitting next to him in a low voice.
It's just that Shen Luojun next to her was bowing her head and contemplating at the moment, looking absent-minded, she didn't react at all after listening to Kang Damao's words, uh! That's embarrassing.
For a while, Kang Damao and the small flower on the other side looked at each other!
"Luo Jun? Luo Jun? Kang Damao shouted twice.
