Chapter 18 Ten taels of silver caused trouble
Everyone in the Guo family knows that this magical young master is from the Bodhisattva, so naturally there should be differences, what clothes to wear, what to do, what to say, and they have been used to it in the past two or three months, but how can people on the street know, this is not strange. However, everyone estimated that it was the son of a big family, so he didn't dare to rush to watch.
Guo Dalu is so free to wander on the street, full of ancient buildings, wooden buildings, antique artistic conception leisurely. The shouting of doing business, the barking of cows and horses pulling carts, the loud voice of the shopkeeper to advertise food...
There's no car exhaust here, there's no shop speakers roaring here, there's no wall of permits here, there's no ...
What a beautiful scenery in the world, this is Guo Dalu's first feeling.
But looking at the people on the street is a little disappointed, according to Guo Dalu's vision, 90% of them are poor, still very poor, basically wearing linen clothes, or old, a few wearing cotton robes, wearing silk and satin I don't see...
This is Guo Dalu does not understand the characteristics of this era, although the businessman is rich, but the political status is very low, and he is not qualified to wear silk in public, otherwise he will be punished, he will wear it quietly at home, and he will have to change his clothes when he goes out, and those who are qualified to wear it will sit in a sedan chair when he goes out, in this case, where can you find someone to wear silk.
The women on the street can still see, most of them are plain skirts, and a few are wearing a kind of skirt that Guo Dalu has never seen, this kind of skirt looks very elegant, because the skirt is embroidered with red silk and blue thread into cursive calligraphy, which is very eye-catching, and it is a man who reads books to understand what words are embroidered on the skirt.
Guo Dalu met one, and there was a maid beside him, Guo Dalu didn't pay attention to the woman's appearance and figure, so he followed behind and looked repeatedly, trying to recognize what words were embroidered on people's skirts, and he also had a new discovery, the place where the woman walked would actually fall petals, which became more and more curious...
I just followed it for a few streets, until people entered the house, and then I regretted turning back.
As for suffering from the maid's eyes all the way, does Guo Dalu have that concept?
I have walked around the street, I have had enough fun, and I have seen a lot of folk handicraft works, but Guo Dalu did not buy the same, they are all things that have been eliminated by later generations on the market, after all, the things sold in these markets have not entered the ranks of high-end artworks, and in the eyes of Guo Dalu, they belong to worthless things, just look at them.
I was also hungry and went home.
When he got home, Guo Da was already waiting, and after Guo Dalu had eaten, the landlord began to talk to Guo Dalu about the shop.
"Dalu, Dad went to Ya in the morning and asked, the tooth shop recommended two places, both of which were entrusted by others to resell the tooth shop, one is on the main street, is a yard of a house, Dad has been to see the site is a small point, similar to our yard, the tooth shop asks for four hundred taels, according to my opinion, three hundred and seventy taels is enough, but if it is made into a store, it needs to be completely renovated; The other one is near the east gate and is almost to the edge of the city, the location is a little biased, but the victory is in the place is very large, there are more than 40 acres of land, it was a carpentry workshop before, it is said that the owner of the workshop is not good and bankrupt, this is resale, the tooth shop asks for 2,400 taels, it is estimated that 2,000 taels can be negotiated. In my opinion, where should I choose? ”
"Dad, in my opinion, you don't have to choose this, you can buy both, isn't it just a matter of a mirror, buy them all!"
"Uh..."
Guo Dalu's attitude made the landlord a little stunned, this is a matter of more than two thousand taels of silver, why is his son's tone like buying a green onion! This made the landlord, who has always been a simple housekeeper, unable to adapt for a while. However, when I thought about it, my son was right, and the money from selling a mirror was far more than this money.
"Dad, the yard on the main street will be transformed into a shop, the woodcraft workshop will not move for the time being, put it there first, and it will definitely be used in the future, the store will be decorated in the style of selling high-end goods, that is, it will give people a feeling that the goods in this store are high-end and high-grade and very expensive."
"Oh, that's fine."
"And then there's the name of the store, tsk, what's the name? HSBC? Hengtong? ”
"Well, in my father's opinion, I'll take my son's name."
"The big road? The main road number! Big Road Firm! No, no, it doesn't feel expensive. ”
Guo Dalu suddenly discovered that as a super rich second generation, why is this name so inexpensive! I don't know what my parents thought at the beginning.
"How about calling it Dafeng?"
"Dafeng, well, this one is barely okay."
"Then it's decided, and when I go back, my father will ask someone to make a plaque."
"In addition, you can't only sell one kind of thing in the store, you can buy some high-end fine porcelain, jade, jewelry, celebrity calligraphy and painting and put these things in the store to sell, but you must remember that all the goods must be high-grade, not high-grade high-grade goods, and you would rather be out of stock and not sold."
"Son, if you want to put all the goods on the top, my father is afraid that if he accidentally overcomes the purchase price, won't he smash it in his hands!"
"Dad, you don't have to worry about this, just go and collect it, even if you smash it in your hand, isn't it still me, in fact, I want to take these things to "over there" to see if there is a way, if it can be done, then it will be both sides to make money. Guo Dalu explained to Guo Da while pointing to the sky with his hand.
The landlord suddenly understood what Guo Dalu meant by "over there", and immediately shut up and didn't mention it.
"In this case, then Dad will be relieved, and he will start operating at full strength."
"Hard work daddy."
The next day, Guo Dalu saw that everything was almost arranged, so he said goodbye to his father and mother and prepared to go back to Guo Village, but everyone knew that he couldn't ride a horse before he got on the road. There is no way, Guo Dalu has no chance to participate in all dangerous sports since he was a child.
Therefore, the butler hurried to buy a new carriage to serve.
As when he came, he took Guo Shou and more than a dozen farmers to drive three ox carts back, a little faster than when he came, and it took a day and a half to return to Guo Village.
The resentment in Guo Dalu's heart is sky-high, this road is not repaired, and he swears not to be a man.
This trip, I only stayed in Fucheng for three days, and it took four days to go back and forth on the road, but fortunately, the speed was slow, and the ox cart and carriage had not turned Guo Dashao upside down, otherwise it would be even worse, but even so, Guo Dalu also made up his mind that he would never run far again.
Two days later, the carpenters handed over the mirrors of the three ox carts, and this time, Guo Dalu directly asked Guo Shou to arrange to send them to the master of Fucheng, and he did not move.
The next day after Guo Dalu left, Guo Da went to Yaxing, and when he saw Yatou, the landlord said straight to the point: "I came to ask about the matter yesterday, Mr. introduced two places, and after going back, he discussed with his family and decided to buy both places, but the price still needs to be discussed." ”
Yatou was overjoyed when he heard this, you must know that the tooth line can only be tapped by buying and selling, and the deal that has not been done is good to say, there is a fart, this Guo family buys two places, two transactions at a time, and the price concession is inevitable, and it is better to have less than nothing.
"Since it should be like this, since it should be like this, I don't know how much Mr. is willing to give, this is too low, and we can't explain it to the employer."
"Then I won't go around in circles, at a fixed price, my family can pay two thousand three hundred and seventy taels of silver for two real estates, which is not the same price."
"This..."Yatou quickly estimated in his heart, almost, it seems that the Guo family has investigated it carefully.
"This price is true, how did the gentleman divide the two?"
"Three hundred and seventy taels in the courtyard of Zhengjie Street, and two thousand taels in the carpentry workshop."
Yatou nodded, "Then please wait a moment, sir, and I'll call someone to inform the employer to talk." ”
The two chatted for two more moments, the owner of the woodware workshop arrived first, and when he heard Guo Da's offer of two thousand taels, he immediately responded, no way, the main business was bankrupt and was anxious to wait for the money to repay the debt, and two thousand taels was also his psychological price, and the woodworking workshop had a few broken houses left in addition to the land, and other valuable things were repaid.
The two parties immediately made a note in Yaxing, signed a sales contract, Guo Da paid 1,000 taels of silver bills, and then transferred the account to Yamen, and the remaining 1,000 taels were paid.
While talking, the person who sold the yard also came, this is an agent, a friend of the yard owner. It turned out that the owner of the yard had already left Fucheng and entrusted this friend to handle the sale and purchase of the house on his behalf.
Hearing Guo Da's offer of three hundred and seventy taels, this one quit, and the master of the yard left a message, the minimum should not be less than three hundred and eighty taels, and the agent's mind had to be left behind no matter what, right, so he insisted that four hundred taels should not be less.
At this moment, Landlord Guo's slamming spirit was provoked, and both sides began to talk about facts, reasoning, and feelings... There was a lot of noise for an hour, until the carpenter couldn't wait any longer, and began to urge the landlord to finish their deal first and then go back and continue arguing.
Master Guo suddenly woke up, this is a good thing to tell his son, he is here to care about the thirty taels of silver, if he doesn't do it, he will have to make yellow, then it will be troublesome, he can't explain to his son when he turns around, and more importantly, it will affect the things his son mentioned.
Thinking about the indifferent look on his son's face when he said that he would buy these two places, Landlord Guo's face turned red, and he quickly found a way to soften and agreed to the price of four hundred taels, but asked the agent to go to the yamen now, immediately, and immediately to go to the yamen to complete the transfer procedures.
Of course, this is no problem, as long as there is money to be made, it is easy to say that nothing is not.
At that moment, the owner went all the way to the yamen, and the yamen also understood at this time, feeling that this Guo Ye actually had to be in a hurry to buy a house, so he signaled the landlord to give the yamen a little bit up and down, so as to do things faster and more steadily.
Of course, the people who do the work of the yamen have benefited, and their teeth have fallen into favors.
Guo Da changed his mentality at this time, focusing on getting things done and achieving his goal, of course, he was no longer reluctant to give up a few taels of silver, and spent more than 30 taels of "tips" all the way.
If the "tip" is more, of course there will be no problems, and the transfer procedures will be completed steadily, and the two parties will clear their respective silver rooms in the court.
Since then, these two places have been owned by the Guo family.
