On the balcony of the attic of the art garden, Dong Ce, who got up early in the morning, waved his hand to sweep the snow off the guardrail, but his eyes looked at a few shops and a green building next door to the art garden.

With the completion of the Fantasy Hall, the flow of customers in the art garden will inevitably be greater, if it is not expanded as soon as possible, the waiting and leaving guests will inevitably become crowded, which is really a tragedy for the art street!

Because many of the goods in the art street are finely crafted, not to mention the expensive cost, the most important thing is to let the guests enjoy it quietly, until they are satisfied before they are willing to buy, at the beginning if there are more people in the art street, those who are willing to pay for it will be less!

Facts have also proved that when there are many people, cheap goods sell quickly, but expensive ones are rarely cared for, but when there are few people, there will be some rich people who have a lot of money to dig for treasures, so the expansion of the art garden is imminent, otherwise it will be too late to start when the spring flowers bloom next year.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" An ordinary-looking middle-aged man respectfully came behind Dong Ce.

Dong Ce turned to look at the middle-aged man, this person is Sun Meng, the steward he recently hired, don't look at his mediocre appearance, but he is one of the shopkeepers of the former commercial guild, and he is also the ship's attendant last time, he was trapped in Huzhou for four months, and only recently returned to Jinling, because he learned that Dong Ce urgently needed an assistant, so he recommended himself, but Dong Ce was in Xiaoyao Palace at that time, Zhen Wan did not dare to invite, and dragged it until Dong Ce came back.

And when Dong Ce knew about Sun Meng, he didn't agree immediately, but sent someone to send his old bottom, after all, this person's identity is too sensitive, and there are definitely traitors among the ship's attendants of the merchant guild, and the responsibilities are not small. Otherwise, it would be impossible for two groups of merchant ships to arrive at Huating Mansion at the same time.

Sun Mengdi hadn't found out yet, and he seemed to expect what Dong Ce was worried about. For this reason, he deliberately found Yang Lao Ghost, and this Yang Nailei admired him very much. If he hadn't insisted on coming to the art garden, Yang Nailei would definitely have recruited him back to be the shopkeeper.

Dong Ce couldn't help but give Yang Lao Ghost a little thin noodles, and he also found out Sun Meng's situation that night, and he was sure that it was correct, and as a result, this person had a good effect, and he was much more experienced in handling affairs than Meng Feng.

"Have you found out the situation of those shops?"

"Got it figured out." Sun Meng nodded and continued: "The jade shop, brocade shop and painting shop next to our art garden are all affected by our art street, and the business is getting worse and worse, so it must not be difficult to settle down. But the business of Qinglou is getting better and better, especially recently they have also cultivated some women, specializing in the role of Na Xi Shi and Diao Chan, which won the favor of many guests for a while, and I heard that those women who play Xi Shi Diao Chan have a high price of entering the scene, and there are still many dignitaries vying for pleasure, so there are still many people who fight hard. ”

"Alas, even cottages are in short supply!" Dong Ce couldn't laugh or cry. The shops next to it are nothing, although they also want to copy the goods of the art street, but they are not anti-dogs, and they don't know how much thought it takes. After all, they can't imitate it, and in the long run, they will not only have to bear the dilemma of few customers. It is difficult to waste a large amount of money on research and development, and it is difficult not to go out of business.

But Qinglou is different. As Tu Ping explained, as long as you play any sai Xi Shi. The slogan of Shengdiao Chan is naturally as rising as the business of the art garden!

"You go and talk to the owners of those shops, put their shops down, and control the price at two or three thousand, as for the Qinglou, don't care about it for the time being."

"Okay, I'll do it." After Sun Meng finished speaking, he left.

Dong Ce was about to go downstairs, and suddenly saw Xiaohu running up from the stairs happily, Dong Ce's face suddenly darkened, he picked it up and patted its buttocks, and said angrily: "Did you run to that corner to pee?" This is not our house, if your taste is smoked to the customer, it will affect our business, and then the guests will not come, we will have no money, and you can only dream if you want to eat meat! ”

"Huh!" Suddenly, there was a coquettish laugh from the side, Zhen Wan walked over and looked at the cute thing in Dong Ce's arms and said, "The owner said this, can it understand it?" But this little guy is getting bigger and bigger, and he seems to really miss the tiger a little! ”

"Something, it's meant to be!" Dong Ce scratched Xiaohu's cute head, causing Xiaohu to bare his teeth for a while.

"The owner laughed again, if it is a tiger, your donkey is a BMW in the Western Regions!" Zhen Wan obviously didn't believe it.

Don't say that she doesn't believe it, except for Zhong Xiaoshi and them, no one in the entire art garden believes it, but then again, every time Zhong Xiaoshi sees this little guy, he takes a detour, not that he is afraid, but that he is one of the little guy's mother-killing enemies! Now that the little guy is spoiled by the sect leader, or is it some kind of guardian beast, can he not be embarrassed in his heart?

"The Chinese New Year is just three days away, and the owner plans to live here forever?" Although Zhen Wan didn't know why Dong Ce moved to Yiyuan to live, he always felt that it was not for work, and he also had a lot of inconveniences living here, and it was a crime for some lazy employees, and they always felt that the owner was staring at them, so that they didn't dare to be lazy for a moment.

"We'll talk about it then." Dong Ce doesn't really pay attention to where he lives, and he did spend several years in the company in his previous life, and he looked down on holidays and holidays, perhaps because he was an orphan in his last life!

In the morning, Dong Ce was running between various departments, not to review the work, but to guide the work, after noon, after the last meeting of the year with the partners, the hour had already reached the afternoon.

When Dong Ce returned to the attic to rest, Sun Meng happened to come back.

"How's the talk?" Dong Ce asked.

Sun Meng seemed to be a little anxious, he was still sweating on this snowy day, he confessed first, picked up the teapot and poured a few sips, then wiped the corners of his mouth, and said eagerly: "Oh no, maybe it was yesterday that I investigated the rumors of the shop next door and revealed, just last night, they had already agreed to sell the shop to others!" ”

"But all sold to one person?" Dong Ce frowned.

"Well, I spent so much time just to check this, and not only those shops, but even the Qinglou was actually transferred to Gong Qing, the big owner of Jinxiang Building!"

"Gong Qing!" Dong Ce's eyes narrowed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Have you found out how much he bid?" ”

"Those shopkeepers didn't say this, but it's not difficult to check, now they are just verbally promised, the funds will definitely not have time to be gathered, I have ordered people to squat in front of their mansion, as long as they are not mixed with gold, silver and copper coins, it is not difficult to estimate the price, but it is of little use to us to learn the results, the top priority should be to fight with Gong Qing!"

"Price war!" Dong Strategy pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, since he wants it, then give it to him!" (To be continued.) )
