In fact, Sun Chen knew that the advice he had just given to a few of them was just a piece of paper now. If you want to make it happen, you have to put in a lot of effort.

However, when it comes to hardship and hard work, everyone here is not far behind. Perhaps what they lack is not a guiding light, but a person who can affirm them.

After the lively dinner, everyone gossiped around Li Wang's for a while, and then they all washed up and rested.

Lying on the hot kang specially set aside for himself, Sun Chen recalled the information he had received from several uncles during the day.

It turned out that when her mother got married, her grandmother and uncles accompanied her to buy four acres of fertile land in Linjia Village.

The Apocalypse Dynasty has strict regulations on the ownership of dowries, and the in-laws have no right to intervene at all. Even if a daughter-in-law dies, her dowry can only be inherited by her own children. If there are no biological children, the dowry will be returned to the mother's family, and even her spouse will not have the right to dispose of it casually.

But the strange thing is that when the family was divided, he only got two acres of land. Where did the other two acres go?

Thinking of the several possibilities that there would be, Sun Chen's eyes narrowed, and it was best that Sun Zhou could give himself a reasonable explanation at that time.

……

The next day, Sun Chen and Erniu stayed at their grandmother's house until lunch, and then they were sent out of the house by the reluctant family. Li Yicong and Li Yiming also followed them for several miles, until they put their brother and sister in an ox cart and then went home.

Before leaving, Sun Chen told them that he had stuffed three taels of silver under the futon on the kang where he stayed last night, and he must ask them to buy more things for his grandmother to make up for it.

The two brothers were a little shocked when they heard it, since they were children, the most money they had ever seen was the bundle of repairs given to the teachers in the school, but it was only two taels of silver. This cousin (cousin), who hasn't seen him for several years, suddenly made a move for three taels of silver, but it really impressed him.

Li Yicong made up his mind in his heart that he must work hard and strive to complete his goal of becoming a bookkeeper as soon as possible. Well, after I go back, I'll memorize a few of the mantras that Ah Chen taught him in the morning!

After three more hours of turbulence, Sun Chen and Erniu finally returned home when it was almost dark.

Yang Shuping came back as early as last night, probably because he thought of his deceased wife's low mood and caused him to lose his appetite, or maybe it was because the house was so deserted that he was ready to go to bed without even eating dinner.

After Sun Chen found out, he forcibly pulled him up, and waited until he watched him eat dinner before letting him into the house.

At the dinner table, Sun Chen took out the jewelry box made by his third uncle Li Hansen and the silk flowers made by the third concubine Tong Qiaoling to show Yang Shuping, and told him his plans, Yang Shuping nodded in agreement after reading it: "Ah Chen, it's very good that you can think about helping your relatives when you can, and your vision is okay." I think this jewelry box can be made of some more expensive wood, and it is ready to be sold to Wanyou Firm. ”

Wanyou Commercial Bank is the one they usually help to collect the women in the village to make handkerchiefs, and their family is not in Taikang Town, where Sun Chen is located, but in Jizhou Mansion, the most prosperous town in Zhuo County.

Their business spreads all over the country, and all kinds of well-known shops in Taikang Town, such as Ruyi Restaurant, Ruyi Pastry, Ruyi Silver Building, and Ruyi Inn, are all affiliated with their Wanyou Commercial Bank.

The reason why they are all named Ruyi's door is said to be because Taikang Town is Wan Jianzhong, the current ruler of Wanyou Commercial Bank, and he has a very favored concubine, whose name is Ruyi, and her hometown is in Taikang Town. Therefore, Wan Jianzhong gave an order, and all the original signboards everywhere were replaced with 'Ruyi'.

Interestingly, Wan Jianzhong also has three or four more favored concubines, and the same treatment they get is that in their hometown, there will be several shops named after them.

This incident was passed down as a good story by the entire Zhuojun for a while, and whenever someone showed off how much their daughter was favored by her husband's family, they would be asked how many shops were named after them.

However, in Sun Chen's view, these are just the bad tastes of the ruler of the Universal Commercial Bank. Taking the name of the concubine, and not only one, to replace the family signboard 'Wanyou', it is as if you are playing with your own ancestral inheritance.

However, Wan Jianzhong's business acumen is not covered, and it is under his leadership that Wanyou Commercial Bank has gone from being equal to several other large commercial banks to being the dominant now.

Yang Shuping's words shocked Sun Chen's body, not that Sun Chen felt that he had pointed out a way for him, but that his words suddenly gave him a warning, uncle's skill in making jewelry boxes may not be able to last for a long time.

It's not that Sun Chen's vision is problematic, or that Li Hansen's craftsmanship is not good, but that this project is very likely to be bigger and stronger by Wan Jianzhong, and in the end, there is no room for retail investors like them.

It can be seen from the fact that he can monopolize the manual work of the entire Zhuo County, this is a very domineering person, if he is allowed to see the exquisite jewelry box, it is likely to be like other things, mass production covers the entire Zhuo County.

So do you want to help my third uncle improve the style of the jewelry box? Will it be a wedding dress for someone else in the end?

Sun Chen, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned, really didn't know how to deal with this matter.

When they got up the next day, Yang Shuping and Erniu were both frightened by his heavy dark circles.

"Ah Chen, what were you doing last night?"

"It's nothing," Sun Chen yawned and splashed water on his face, "It's just that I haven't slept well." ”

"Tell me, what did you think?" Yang Shuping took a cloth towel and handed it to Sun Chen, asking him to wipe off the water stains on his face.

"I didn't think about anything," Sun Chen's spirit improved a little after washing his face, "I just thought about how long the third uncle's jewelry box could be made~"

"So that's the case," Yang Shuping thought about it and knew why he couldn't sleep, "Are you afraid that after being discovered by Wanyou Firm, there will be no place for him?" ”

"Don't worry about this, although the Wanyou Comptoir is domineering, they have preferential treatment for the first person to make something new. Not only will there be a special bonus, but he will also receive priority for his handmade products. Yang Shuping comforted.

"It's like a glove you made this year, because you prepared well enough in advance, so that the shopkeeper in charge of Wanyou Commercial Bank in Taikang Town didn't dare to report it as soon as possible this year, but he was also ruthlessly cleaned up by Wan Jianzhong. But you wait and see, after a while, a representative of Wanyou Commercial Bank will come to you to negotiate and discuss next year's gloves. ”

"Oh? How else can there be such a good thing? Sun Chen couldn't believe it, why did it sound so much like patent protection? But in this day and age, is there such a thing?

"Wan Jianzhong is a wonderful person, although he acts domineeringly, he is very reasonable. He would always say that anyone who makes something new and useful to others is a gift from God to that person, and if others do not ask for it, it is a blasphemy against God. Yang Shuping smiled when he said this, "Isn't it weird to say this?" But he just believes it, and he implements it meticulously. ”
