In the Yiyuan tearoom, more than a dozen people gathered together to chat with each other, but some peers unconsciously avoided it, even if one or two peers greeted each other, they were all vigilant.

Lu Kexuan walked up to Zhang Jian in a few steps and said in a low voice: "Outside Zhang Yuan, are you also interested in this stall?" ”

Zhang Tan smiled faintly when he heard this, and also said in a low voice: "Of course, I also know that it is different from you, especially your Lujia Iron Shop, although you have always played treasure swords and swords, but if you can combine this art garden and make iron art products like those wood artworks, you will naturally not worry about sales." ”

Lu Kexuan smiled and said: "It seems that Lu can't hide anything from Zhang Yuanwai, indeed, after seeing those wood art products, I also have plans to make iron art products, but I still have ideas in front of me, if I want to implement it as soon as possible, I am afraid I will have to learn from the big owner of the art garden!" ”

When Lu Kexuan bought a small chariot for his son before, he began to think about this kind of business, and then he asked Tao Rong and learned that it was all the attention of Dong Ce, the big owner of the art garden, so he wanted to get acquainted with Dong Ce and see if the other party could make his iron tools become wrought iron!

Zhang Tan nodded and said: "Everyone's life has been hard recently, as soon as there is a fight in Huzhou, you are worried about the iron and stone, and we are worried about the lack of food to harvest, I can still rely on old rice to make a living, but this Taiping Road comes, cough ...... You have to think about a long-term plan! Speaking of this, Zhang Tan suddenly stared at Lu Kexuan and said, "By the way, has the Dong family looked for you?" ”

Lu Kexuan understood as soon as he heard it, nodded and said: "As soon as Meng Feng leaves on the front foot, they will come on the back foot, originally I had no intention of participating in the dispute between the two, but I can't get through it with more money, now the weapon is restricted by the imperial court and cannot be sold, so as not to cause more trouble, tell me about this...... Cough, the sword of our famous Jianxuan, that kind of refined soldier? Most of the people in the door have the financial resources to buy, so they have been cut off from the financial route, and now there are several masters and dozens of apprentices in the shop who have nothing to do! ”

Zhang Tan nodded very understandingly, and said that food weapons are the first choice for national hardship and wealth, but in Daning, this is just an exception!

Zhang Fu, the younger brother next to Zhang Yan, said loudly at this time: "Since Lu Yuanwai also has the intention of renting a stall, why don't the three of us join forces and advance and retreat together?" ”

Lu Kexuan smiled after hearing this, and agreed: "I can't ask for it!" ”

Not far from the three of them, a young woman with an ordinary appearance but a good temperament heard this, and walked over with a smile and said, "I don't know if I can add a little sister?" ”

"It turned out to be the plum lady of the Lan Fan Fang!" When Lu Kexuan and the Zhang brothers saw this girl, they gave salutes one after another, and then Zhang Tan said: "With Mei Niangzi joining, our four stalls are nine out of ten!" ”

Mei Niangzi sighed leisurely and said, "But the little sister needs two stalls!" ”

"Huh? Why is that? "There was something strange about all three.

Mei Niangzi was about to explain, and suddenly, three people walked in outside the door, led by Dong Ce, the big owner of the Art Garden, followed by Wang Fuyan and Meng Feng.

After Dong Ce and everyone gave a salute, he said: "Let you wait for a long time, we won't talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point, I think you all also fancy the stalls in my art street, and a few days ago, Steward Meng also told you that the rent and deposit cannot be reduced, if you are still interested, sit down and talk slowly." ”

After hearing this, no one left, but took off their shoes and sat down on the couch.

When Dong Ce, Wang Fuyan, and Meng Feng knelt down on the main couch together, Zhang Tan on the second mahogany couch on the right hand side said: "Dong Gongzi, the four of us have discussed it before, whether it is rent or deposit, there is no problem, but we need seven stalls!" ”

As soon as they heard this, Zhang Fu, Lu Kexuan and Mei Niangzi were all stunned, and then they all lowered their heads and snickered, secretly scolding Zhang Tan for being cunning!

The rest of the people were also stunned after hearing this, but they immediately came to their senses, and the owners of the five couches looked at each other one after another, and quickly exchanged ears for a while, and they offered to rent booths together.

Dong Ce didn't know the reason for the high efficiency of the group, but these people are a little open-minded, basically each person needs an average of two stalls, there are sixteen people here, wouldn't it cost thirty-two, and there are only twenty-two stalls in the art street.

"I can understand your thoughts, but everyone has seen the situation, and now there are only twelve stalls left, and there is no reason for the highest price in my art garden, so I can only consider the industry that will help the development of my art garden to cooperate." When Dong Ce said this, he looked at Zhang Yan and said, "There are only four of you outside of Zhang Yuan, so I can only give you four stalls, of course, you have to say what you are going to sell in my art garden?" ”

Zhang Tan frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect Dong Ce to be young, but he did things clearly, he didn't offend anyone, and he didn't treat anyone specially, so you still have to insist on renting seven, which will inevitably be a little shameless.

Mei Niangzi was a little anxious, and immediately said: "Dong Gongzi, in addition to fans, my Lan Fan Shop also sells screens, if there is only one stall, it is obviously not enough!" ”

Dong Ce looked at Mei Niangzi and said with a smile: "I have also learned about Mei Niangzi's Lan Fan Workshop, so I have already thought about it, you make a screen frame, place it in the stall as a background, and then prepare several types of screen pictures, which can be replaced at any time, such as the four seasons of my art garden mural, if you can change the picture directly without moving the frame, it is also a novelty!" ”

Mei Niangzi's eyes lit up after hearing this, although the screen frame and the painting should fit, the pursuit of the whole, but some customers are easy to get bored, and often have customers buy back for less than two months, so they come to the store to ask if they can sell at a low price, or add some money for a new one. If Dong Ce's method is used, will you be able to make more money by selling screen paintings?

"The screen is naturally one is expensive, but if there are guests at the end of three days to buy a few pictures back, this money is afraid of a lot, but this will definitely affect the business of the screen, how to choose, it is really distressing!" Mei Niangzi suddenly had a hard time making a choice in her heart.

Dong Ce didn't interrupt Mei Niangzi's train of thought, but looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Zhang Yuanwai is a grain merchant, what do you want a stall for?" ”

Zhang Tan didn't want to think about it: "What does Dong Gongzi think I can do?" ”

Dong Ce smiled, looking like he was reminiscing: "I have eaten several rice cakes made by my master, I wonder if Zhang Yuanwai is interested?" ”

Zhang Tan's eyes narrowed, looked at Dong Ce and said, "I have rented the stall, Dong Gongzi doesn't want to refuse!" ”

Dong Ce nodded and didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Fu on Zhang Yan's side and asked, "Daochang Zhang, I don't know what you're going to sell?" ”

Zhang Fu didn't talk nonsense, he took out a few things directly from a bag and put them on the desk, everyone turned their heads to take a look, and found that there was an emperor bell like a rattle, a wooden ruler and a wooden stick engraved with charms, as well as a big seal and turtle shell, a small sword, etc., most of which were things in the town.

Dong Ce nodded again, looked at Lu Kexuan and said, "What about Lu Yuanwai?" ”

Lu Kexuan pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the wood art products in Guiyuan are Dong Gongzi's advice behind the scenes, I don't know if my name Jian Xuan makes iron art, can Dong Gongzi help?" ”

"It's all human spirits!" Dong Ce smiled in his heart, nodded and said, "No problem, in fact, there is no me, presumably Lu Yuan has also paid attention!" ”

"As long as Dong Gongzi is not too troublesome, why should Lu waste that mind!" Lu Kexuan said with a smile.

Dong Ce still nodded and stopped talking, and began to ask other members.

Of the remaining twelve people, seven of them were with Zhang Tan, some had unique insights, and some directly learned from Dong Ce and asked him for advice.

After listening to the narration of these twelve people, Dong Ce felt that it was feasible, although some of them were peers, but because of this, there was competition, and they would try their best to improve for sales, which was good or bad for Yiyuan.

After being silent for a long time, Dong Ce finally spoke: "I can see below that everyone here is sincere, but there are only twelve stalls, and there are sixteen of you......"

Speaking of this, everyone was suddenly a little anxious, but before they could argue, Dong Ce continued: "Now the ten stalls in the art street can be said to be the industry of our art garden, originally I was reluctant to part with love, after all, in addition to the fixed seven or eight hundred people who come to see the play every day, the art garden will also entertain idle guests, and these guests are mainly for the art street, and now it is impossible to estimate the number, but as long as the reputation of the art garden increases, there will be a steady stream of tourists, so these stalls will definitely be comparable to the gold shop in the future, but you can afford the art garden." , It's Dong someone's Rong Xin, I really can't refuse, so let's do it, now the stalls on sale, ceramics merge, a stall in the study, I quit the jewelry for sale, handed over to the treasure pavilion to take over, and the same is true for clothing, handed over to Yang Lao Yuanwai to take over, so just vacate sixteen stalls, but all the goods sold in the art garden stall must be confirmed by us before they can be sold, of course, we can also provide valuable suggestions, so that the goods are more beautiful and diverse, I don't know if you have any objections? ”

After listening to Dong Ce's words, everyone immediately understood that they had been fooled! They still thought that those shops were rented out, but they didn't expect that they were all art garden industries, so they were still in a hurry!

But this mentality was maintained for a while, when Tu Xiaohua walked in with a red face and said to Dong Ce: "Brother Dong, the theater is full, the second show is ready to start, Sister Yu Nan asked me to call you there." ”

Only then did everyone know that today was not a game, and there would be three games a day in the future, if the venue was really full, plus idle tourists, wouldn't there really be thousands of people entering and leaving this art garden every day!

At that time, was this stall still worried that people couldn't rent it?

Gold Shop! This may be true!

Knowing this, they were glad they had come early today.

"Okay, there are important things to do, so I won't accompany you." Dong Ce said, then looked at Meng Feng and said: "Steward Meng will show you the contract, if you have no objection, you can sign and draw the mortgage together after paying the rent and deposit." After speaking, Dong Ce left first.

Meng Feng took out sixteen paper deeds from a leather bag and handed them to the sixteen members.

After everyone saw the paper deed, they were all stunned, because it was densely written with small characters, not only the size of the booth was recorded in detail, but even the rent increase and decrease also changed with the business of the art garden, in addition, there were also breach of contract clauses that were also very detailed, almost to the point of nitpicking.

Before everyone finished reading it, Yang Nailei spoke first: "Meng Gongzi, although the rent and deposit are not large, they are not collected in a short time, so let's take this contract back and read it slowly, and raise rent by the way, do you think it can be done?" ”

Meng Feng said with a smile: "This is naturally no problem, although Old Soldier Yang has taken it back and looked at it carefully, if there are any requirements that can be raised, after we have discussed it, it will not be too late to mark it on it and sign it." ”

"But if it's late, the booth ......!" Yang Nailei is so shrewd, he won't believe Dong Ce's set, he needs to observe for a few days to see if the art garden can get thousands of customers every day, but he is afraid that if there is a latecomer who goes first, it will not be good!

As soon as everyone heard Old Man Yang's words, they all knew the deep meaning, and immediately looked at Meng Feng.

Meng Feng smiled bitterly and said: "The most important thing for our big proprietor is integrity, since we promised you before, naturally we will not contact other employees again, but there is also a time limit, if you still hesitate after three days, then we can only find other tenants!" ”

After hearing this, everyone said that they had no objections, so they discussed for a long time, and then they exchanged greetings and left.
