"That's a long story." When Ran Hu said this, his face suddenly soared, and the unique sense of honor of the time-honored guy burst instantly, he pulled Changsun Hong, and came to a shelf where samples were placed, the shelf was made of fine wood, the lacquer surface was smooth, the style was beautiful, and stacks of beautifully cut paper were placed on it layer by layer, and the white paper surface was matched with a dark red wooden frame, which was exquisite and generous.

"Little brother, you see, the two layers below this are inferior goods, the cost is very low, and they are considered defective, of course, we don't call it that, it is called Ranjia leather paper to the outside world, and it costs fifty yuan for a piece of paper.

"The one on the upper two floors is going to be better, you see, this paper is dazzlingly white, quacking, the name is very loud, it's called the champion note, it's ink-absorbing and soft, you touch it, it's good, right? That's right, this paper is a hundred and one order, and we send it to other places, mainly to sell this. ”

"In the past, our Rui Fuxiang's champion note, how many people lined up to buy it couldn't buy it, so we had to come early in the morning to arrange the goods, otherwise it would be sold out in the hour."

"Look at the top again, this is the best, little brother, you are friends with our Erlang, you must be a reader, have you ever used such good paper? Didn't you? That's right! That's right, it's the best! It's called dancing in the snow, and if you think about it, it's all white when it snows, right? It's nice to write on it, isn't it? Writing in the snow with a brush the size of a mop is so majestic, isn't it? That's right, that's it! Writing on this paper is like writing with a mop in the snow! ”

"This paper is two hundred wen and one order, not two prices!" Ran Daqi heard the voice here, walked over angrily, and reprimanded Ran Hu with a gloomy face: "You kid, don't you have a door on your mouth?" What to say and what not to say without a brain? When people ask you about the price, you just talk about the price, why do you say so much? ”

scolded and scolded the young Ran Hu for a moment, shrunk his head and muttered loudly: "He, he is a friend of Ran Erlang, and he is a scholar, so he must be reliable...... Besides, business is so bad right now anyway, so it doesn't hurt to say that......"

It's okay that he didn't defend his words, as soon as he opened his mouth, Ran Daqi was so angry that his blood rushed up, and his head swung left and right to find the chicken feather Zenzi and grabbed it and hit it: "Poor, poor, poor!" You know the difference! I don't go out to shout at the guests, I'm lazy every day! Don't get out and pick up customers! Bastard, Rui Fuxiang's poor business was defeated by your kid! ”

Ran Hu hugged his head and scurried, and rushed to the street with an arrow to stand far away, his body was fast, but he was still beaten several times.

Ran Pu hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, with kind words and comfort, and the eldest grandson Hong also used his tongue like a spring to hold Ran Daqi on his head.

"Ran Shibo doesn't have to mind, there are profits and losses in business, just as flowers bloom and their own flowers are grateful, how can there be a reason for long-term prosperity?"

After a pause, Changsun Hong said with a smile: "As the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, the decline will be prosperous, and now the market is not good, how do you know that there will be no wealth in the future?" ”

Ran Daqi's eyes lit up, put out the fire, and looked at Changsun Hong, the smile on his young face was bright, steady, and the whole person stood there, always giving people a feeling of confidence. This feeling has never been seen in any teenager, as if standing in front of him is an adult who has lived for decades.

"Little brother, borrow your auspicious words, I hope that business will be better in the future." Ran Daqi thought about it for a while, what's the use of saying beautiful words in his heart? And you can't eat as food: "You have seen the workshop, go back to study quickly, and it is the right way to get a reputation in the next year. ”

"Don't worry, Ran Shibo, don't hurry." Changsun Hong stood still, spread his hands, made an exaggerated gesture, and said, "This place is so big, I'm afraid it's the No. 1 paper mill in the state, right?" ”

Ran Daqi had already turned back to the back of the counter, staring at the pile of account books and piling up his brows, and said casually absentmindedly: "Of course!" When Rui Fuxiang opened the account, the owners of those paper mills had not yet been born! ”

"So long, huh? That brand must be loud, huh? Changsun Hong asked again.

Ran Daqi glanced at him a little strangely, but when others asked about these things worth boasting about, he was always happy in his heart, so he replied: "Of course, Rui Fuxiang's brand is out, and the fourth road in Sichuan will not be said, there are a total of seventeen roads in the Great Song Dynasty, and the merchants who have not entered our house have entered the paper?" Think about it back then, when my grandfather was still there, our champion notes were used in the official imperial city, and even the paper used for the holy decree, we have provided, hehe, you may not believe it, Rui Fuxiang's semicolon, can be opened in Bianliang, Bianliang, Beijing! ”

Ran Daqi's face turned uncontrollably red, remembering that when he was at his peak, he was excited, excited, and recalled the past.

Changsun Hong nodded understandingly: "Then why now...... Uh, how do you say that? How bad is business? ”

He pointed out the door: "From the moment I came in, there was not a single guest. ”

Words can give people a high **** to the sky, or they can instantly drag people down and throw them into the pit, Ran Daqi is like this, his smile stopped abruptly, like someone poured a bucket of ice water, and every pore froze.

"Well, uh, this ......" Ran Daqi's scar was revealed, his heart ached suddenly, and he planned for a long time, and finally became angry: "How did this kid speak, what does it matter to you?" ”

"Shibo, don't worry, the eldest grandson Hong is abrupt, but this is the truth." Changsun Hong put his hands on his chest and pressed them gently, signaling Ran Daqi not to jump out and hit him, and also asked Ran Pu on the side not to interrupt him in a hurry: "I know, the competition in the paper mill is fierce, and the rising stars have emerged in an endless stream over the years, and the types of paper are also like stars in the sky, one after another, take Hezhou as an example, a few years ago, you were a Rui Fuxiang, now go out to see, there are three on this street, more elsewhere, there are more opponents, and the business is naturally difficult to do, especially Xie Gongjian, who came over in Yizhou, robbed a lot of old customers, right?" ”

The two people of the Ran family suddenly froze.

Especially Ran Daqi, solemnly and solemnly, straightened up and glanced outward, and asked with some vigilance: "Brother Eldest Sun knows a lot, is it the young owner of which treasure number?" ”

He turned his head and looked at Ran Pu reproachfully: "Is this friend of yours sent by our family's opponent?" ”

Ran Pu was at a loss for words, and was about to say something to explain, but let the eldest grandson Hong open his mouth first.

"Shibo misunderstood, I'm not a young owner, my family farms, the reason why I can say what I just said, without him, I found out by myself in the past two days." He talked eloquently, without the shyness of talking to people about business for the first time: "If you want to know this, it's easy to squat on the dock for two days, where there are many people talking, spending some money, and you can ask anything." ”

Ran Daqi looked at him, closed his mouth and didn't speak.

"To be honest, Ran Pu is also a friend I just met, and he brought me here after meeting twice, which is very upright, and I am very grateful." He continued: "So I want to come and help him, or rather, I want to help Rui Fuxiang. ”

"Help us?" Ran Daqi laughed, but he didn't smile: "The eldest grandson is a little bigger!" ”

"It's not big, it's already very modest." Changsun Hong's expression became serious, and his serious speech was even more contemptuous than the master in the classroom: "I can reduce the cost of Rui Fuxiang's champion note to twenty wen and one order." ”
