Chapter Eighty-Four: The Little Patriarch of Property (II)
After seeing the house, Gui Chongyang followed Gui Wu to the dock again.
The three small shops newly purchased by the uncle and nephew are on the street on this side of the wharf, next to the big market. One of them is relatively close to Master Zhou's house, only separated by three shops, Gui Chongyang said: "If this one is not of great use, I will keep it." β
Gui Wu nodded and said, "I can't take care of opening a shop for the time being, if you want to use it, you can use all three rooms." β
Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "If the fifth uncle is relieved, let the nephew give it a try." β
Gui Wu was curious, but he was a little expectant.
This little Chongyang has a solid knowledge, and he started to enlighten when he remembers, where is the opportunity to learn business things? But it's a very sure look.
When I got to the second shop, it was half a street away from the Zhou shop, and it was also a shop with two doors, and the back was also connected to the triple courtyard, with a circle of houses, and the back place was half as spacious as the previous shop, and the price was three percent higher than the previous one.
Gui Chongyang nodded while watching, but he became more and more satisfied.
Gui Wu became more and more curious, but he was patient and did not rush to ask.
Wait for the third one, it is at the other end of the long street, because next to the dock, the shop here is slightly larger, the front is three doors, but only two small rooms are connected to the back, the place is narrow, so it is a price than the shop in the middle.
Wang San'er, the young man in the teahouse before, was holding a broom and cleaning up here.
Seeing Gui's five uncles and nephews coming in, Wang San'er hurriedly stepped forward: "Fifth master! β
Gui Wu nodded and said to Gui Chongyang: "This is the little guy I used when I was in the teahouse before, he is a down-to-earth and studious person, if you want Zhang Luo to do anything, you can let him run an errand for you." He said to the young man: "This is my nephew, and I will be called 'third brother' in the future."
That Wang San'er is fifteen or six, one section older than Gui Chongyang, but he still honestly called "third brother".
Gui Chongyang's little face was also tense, and he looked at Wang San'er twice, and saw that he was wearing washed white old clothes, there were two patches at the elbows, and the shoes on his feet were also opened and jointed. Although the clothes are shabby, they are not sloppy, they are clean, and people do not cower.
Gui Chongyang nodded slightly and said, "Can you read?" β
Wang San'er blushed, lost his previous composure, and shook his head.
Gui Wu said beside him: "The private school in the town is expensive, and there are few ordinary people who send students to it, even in the lower village, there are not many private schools like Mujia Village, in the final analysis, it is the legacy of the uncle and uncle back then." β
In the place where the style of learning in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, village schools are common, but it is unusual in the north.
The village school in Mujia Village is the first of several surrounding villages, and there are also children from the surrounding villages who used to study, but the bundle is not 300 yuan a year, but twice as much. Rao is so, and it is much cheaper than in the town, and there are a few decent families who send their children to study.
Gui Chongyang just asked casually, not disappointed, took out two strings of money, handed it to Wang San'er and said: "The food on the street, you can buy a copy of the food under ten cents, don't make a snack, you want to be able to fill your stomach, and forget about it if it exceeds ten cents." β
Wang San'er took two strings of money, didn't ask much, and immediately went out to purchase.
Gui Wudao: "You are still young, if you know that you are the owner, you must not despise one or two, and I will stand in front of you in the future." I've lived in this town for more than ten years, and the outside gives me some face. β
At the mention of this, Gui Chongyang couldn't help but be curious, and looked at Gui Wudao: "Fifth Uncle, why do you call you 'Fifth Master' outside?" Looking at that respectful appearance, it didn't look like he was just looking at Old Man Jiang's face. β
Gui Wu patted his forehead and said, "It's just a title, what's so curious?" Tell me, what exactly do you want? Look at you, if you want to leave all three shops, will it be too big? asked Wang San'er to buy food again, this is to open a restaurant? Speaking of this, he showed a little disapproval: "Did it collide with the Zhou family?" Your second brother is over there, and our Gui family owes the Zhou family favor. β
Inheriting the craft, you have more ability to settle down, and this master is no different from the reborn parents.
Change to another family, recruit a few young men in the name of apprenticeship, first call for a few years, and then may not be willing to fax the ability, how much can be learned, depends on how much the apprentice learns quickly; It is not common for a master like Master Zhou to take Guiqiu directly by his side and not hide his secrets.
Gui Chongyang said: "Fifth uncle, rest assured, my nephew knows in his heart, these three shops really want to make food, but they will not collide with the Zhou family, the Zhou family is stir-fried vegetables and braised pork, these three restaurants make noodle restaurants, and then buy a few kinds of steamed buns, wontons and other snacks, and those who don't eat noodles also have simple rice packages such as one meat and two vegetables." β
When Gui Wu heard this, he frowned and said, "This kind of small business, one shop is not enough, you have to get three?" β
Gui Chongyang said: "Unified plaque, small profits but quick turnover, can be carried out." The trading street in front of the wharf is nearly 200 zhang away, and if you really want to talk about it, the end of the buying and selling street is different, next to the market on one side and the wharf on the other, and you can do both in the middle. In this way, as long as someone wants to eat a bite to eat, they can see one of the three rooms, and the price will be marked in the right place, that is, the outsiders who have just disembarked on the dock want to have a hot meal, and they don't have to worry about being slaughtered if they are not cooked. β
Gui Wu has been begging for a living in the market for more than ten years, and he can't help but think more about the miscellaneous people who come and go, and said: "In this way, even if you didn't rob the business of those big restaurants, you robbed the small traders who crossed the basket on the dock." β
Smashing people's jobs, such as killing parents.
It's not that I'm afraid of those people's revenge, but I can't make money in harmony and complain, and the business with complaints won't last long.
Gui Chongyang thought for a while and said, "How many people are there?" β
Gui Wudao: "Xiji is a big wharf, and there are always twenty or thirty people." β
When Gui Chongyang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, then they are all summoned to the restaurant?" β
"Three small restaurants, how can you use so many people?" Gui Wu shook his head and said.
Just like the braised food restaurant of the Zhou family, it is also two doors, more than a dozen tables, only Master Zhou's father and daughter and Guiqiu greet each other, although there are many people, it is enough to greet them diligently.
Gui Chongyang said: "A faΓ§ade leaves four or five people to take care of it, and the extra people throw baskets to the dock to sell, but the food sold is uniform, and it comes out of the shop." β
Gui Wu listened to it, but thought about it carefully, but it was a good way, not only to appease and settle these people, but also to expand the sales in the shop. As for those who want to continue to work alone, and don't want to belong to the shop, they will continue to work alone, anyway, Gui Chongyang's previous placement method has been benevolent and righteous.
"It's really a way to make money, but although the idea is good, you have to have a good shopkeeper, who can take a good look at this stall, in the end, it is the entrance thing, and if the business is good, it will be bad." Gui Wudao.
"As the second brother Qiu is the shopkeeper, I want to partner with the second brother Qiu and Sister Zhou to do this business. The second brother Qiu is the shopkeeper, Sister Zhou is in charge of the kitchen, and the fifth uncle uses the shop to buy shares, which is also considered a share. Gui Chongyang said while laughing.
The old house in the village has been built, the relationship between "Xigui" and the villagers has eased a lot, the Mei family and the Li family are gray, and they will not be in the way for a while, and Gui Chongyang also has a mind to put on "open source".
Tongzhou is too close to the capital, and the land here in Tongzhou will only get more and more expensive.
Now that Duri is in front, the scattered land of the Gui family can't be bought, and the large piece of land is staring at many powerful people, and the Gui family can't go to death. Now it is one thing to start a few industries without showing mountains and dew, and it is one thing to take the opportunity to train Guiqiu experience.
Gui Chongyang used Gui Qiu, which was still expected by Gui Wu. His thoughts are the same, in the end, it is more secure for his own family; But with Zhou Lilac, it was an accident for Gui Wu.
Seeing Gui Chongyang's smiling thief, Gui Wu was puzzled: "What are you thinking about?" β
Gui Chongyang said with a smile: "Brother Chun's family affairs have been set for some days, is it also mentioned by Second Brother Qiu's family affairs?" I want to rob Master Zhou of an apprentice and a daughter, and I have to give an explanation to the Zhou family! β
