The courtyard door was not bolted, Liu Shigui slapped the courtyard door open, and the old courtyard door creaked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hearing a knock on the door, a young man walked out. Seeing that it was Fang Ya Liu Shigui, the young man took the two of them in and sat down in the hall.

Li Zhi looked at the house, and it was really very dilapidated, and the paper paste on many windows was broken and had not been repaired. But Li Zhi uses this house as a factory anyway, and he doesn't care about its old or new. If you have broken doors and windows, you can find some carpenters to fix them.

The two waited for a while, and a middle-aged man walked in. Seeing Liu Shigui, he had an embarrassed look on his face, and said with a fist: "Mr. Liu, our house is not for sale for the time being!" ”

Liu Shigui was stunned and asked, "Why didn't you sell the one hundred and eighty taels that you said?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "I borrowed money from my relatives, and I won't move out for the time being." Selling a house and renting a house also costs money, isn't it, we are a big family, and it's not easy to rent a house! ”

Liu Shigui said dissatisfiedly: "It's for nothing that I'm busy, and I'll bring you guests to see the room!" ”

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "If my family's business in Xuanfu can't get up, I will still have to find Mr. Liu to sell the house after a while." ”

Liu Shigui stood up impatiently, waved his sleeves and said, "You can talk to me again after thinking about it!" ”

After saying this, Liu Shigui took Li Zhi out. Li Zhibai walked around, yawned and asked, "Mr. Liu, is there a suitable yard?" ”

Liu Shigui nodded and said, "Yes, there are some, Li Gongzi let me look for it." ”

With his fingers dipped in his mouth, Liu Shigui stood on the street and looked through his booklet, and after five or six minutes, Liu Shigui said happily: "There is!" There is a courtyard on Sanheng Street in the east of the city. Three in and three out, ten wings, seven south rooms, six ear rooms, two main rooms, and twenty-five rooms. The house was built seventeen years ago, and now it is worth two hundred and sixty taels of silver. ”

Hearing that the yard was close to his house in the east of the city, Li Zhi cheered up and asked, "Is there nothing wrong with this house?" Don't go and don't sell it. ”

"Selling, selling, the landlord of this yard has been following his relatives who are officials, his relatives went to Ganzhou last year to be promoted to be the magistrate, and he also went to Ganzhou to do business, this house is now empty, so he stayed alone to sell the house."

Li Zhi saw that Fang Ya was so familiar with the situation of this house, and he suspected that Fang Ya had already made up his mind to sell this house to himself. But since the house met the requirements, Li Zhi said, "Then let's go and have a look." ”

Fang Ya took Li Zhi to the east of the city and found Sanheng Street. The street is not far from Jingbianfang, it is a rare clean street, and there are large courtyards on both sides and no shops facing the street. Fangya found a yard to sell, which was a half-new door. He tapped on the door, and a middle-aged man opened it.

"Mr. Liu is here!"

"I've taken my patron to see the house."

Li Zhi followed Fang Ya and walked in and looked at the house. The house is half-new but not old, and the blue bricks of a water are paved. There are a lot of rooms, and there is a row of relatively small back buildings behind the third courtyard, which is not listed among the twenty-five rooms, and if Li Zhi expands production in the future, there are still spare rooms to use. The key is that the street where this courtyard is located is quite quiet, which meets the requirements of Li Zhi's secret formula, and Li Zhi is relatively satisfied.

If every house has a shop like Jingbianfang, and there are women sitting in the shop all the time watching every move on the street, it is really not easy to do the work of secrecy.

Although the price of this yard is a little higher, it is still acceptable. However, Li Zhi didn't want the seller to feel that he was eager to buy, so he looked around, smiled and said to Fang Ya: "Let's take a look at other houses!" ”

That Fang Ya looked at Li Zhi and said, "Is Li Gongzi dissatisfied with this house?" It's not expensive! ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Look again, look again!" ”

After pulling the fangya and looking at three more courtyards that were not very suitable, and after running for a long time, Li Zhi pretended not to be very enthusiastic about bidding for the courtyard on Sanheng Street:

"The courtyard of Sanheng Street, two hundred and thirty taels, can't be more."

The Fang Ya glanced at Li Zhi, and secretly said that this young man had some city government, and hurriedly agreed: "I'll go talk about it!" ”

Sure enough, two days later, Fang Ya hurriedly went to Jingbianfang to find Li Zhi and told Li Zhi that the other party agreed to reduce the price to two hundred and thirty taels.

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he took out the silver and took Li Xing to make a deal with Fang Ya.

Fang Ya asked someone to write the deed, found the general A of Sanheng Street, collected Li Zhi's deed tax of three two or four dollars and five cents, and collected one or two and five cents of tooth money, and went to the Qing Military Department to stamp the deed, and then handed over the deed to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi looked at the deed and saw that it read:

"Lidian sells the house deed Zhang Youde, now will be located in Sanheng Street 25 rooms and half new three into the courtyard, four sides of the door wall and window tile bricks and wood, and the patio Mingtang is complete, east to Wang Tengyuan's house wall as the boundary, south to the east of the city Sanheng Street, north to Fan and the family wall as the boundary, west to Chen Shengkong's home wall as the boundary, with Liu Shigui, bargaining out of the ceremony, by Li Zhi Guanye, three sides of the negotiation of the value of 230 taels, the day of the full collection, and there is no shortage. There is no overlapping transaction in the house, and there is no dispute with others, if there is such a situation, it is theorized by the pawn seller, and it has nothing to do with the current business. There is no evidence for empty words, and this deed is used as evidence. ”

Under the deed is the signature of the seller Zhang Youde, the signature of the witness Wei Jiemin, and the signature of the agent Liu Shigui, and the date of signing is indicated on February 19 of the seventh year of Chongzhen, which is stamped with the big red seal of the Tianjin Qing Military Department.

With this deed, this yard belongs to Li Zhi, and the factory building of the soap factory is settled.

After buying the factory, Li Zhi began to recruit people. To make 200,000 pieces of soap in a month, Li Zhi needed to recruit 50 more people.

As soon as the recruitment news was released, Li Yousheng, the head of the Li family, was attracted again. This time, Li Yousheng not only recommended relatives surnamed Li, but also recommended Aunt Li Zhi, cousin's husband, and children to come in, and recommended twenty-five people at one time.

Li Zhi's mother, Zheng Shi, saw that Li Yousheng had also recommended the people from her daughter's family who had married out, so she was not polite, and found nineteen honest relatives in Zheng's family and recommended them to Li Zhi.

For the rest of the places, Li Zhi recruited from his childhood friends in Jingbianfang.

Hearing that Li Zhi was recruiting people again, Aunt Lan took her son Zhong Feng to Li Zhi's house as soon as possible. Before she entered the courtyard, she saw that the courtyard of the Li family was already full of people: relatives of the Li family and the Zheng family were crowded into the courtyard of the Li family, and they were entering the hall one by one to accept Li Zhi's questioning-that is, the interview.

"Xie Min, you're seventeen years old, why didn't you go out to do things before?"

"Brother Zhi, now there is a shortage of soldiers, there are few places to lack people, I didn't find a suitable errand before!"

"What are you doing at home?"

"Brother Zhi, I've been guarding the paper shop with my father."

"What do you know about selling paper?"

"The experience of selling paper... It's about doing things with sincerity! If you deal with the guests sincerely and do not deceive, the guests will rest assured that they will be happy to buy paper! ”

"What if the customer haggles too hard?"

"If it's a general offer, it's all negotiable. If it's an unreasonable offer, you ignore him, and he himself knows that it's boring, and he will increase the price! ”

"You have some ideas. Well, you've passed! Next! ”
