Chapter 19 Running a Business
Seeing that Helan Minzhi, who was already sweating, still insisted that he came up with it by himself, Mrs. Yang already believed it in her heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut after all, the stakes are very high, so I still looked at Wushun.
Although Wu Shun did not think as much as Mrs. Yang, he could also see the value of this design drawing. If you can really let yourself run this thing, it will have too much impact on your life in Chang'an in the future.
So she nodded towards Yang without hesitation, because for such a long time, Helan Minzhi had grown up by her side. Whether there are outsiders, or whether there are people with ulterior motives, who have touched her son, no one knows better than her.
"That's good, that's good." Yang breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the smile on her face, Helan Minzhi also breathed a long sigh of relief. I had imagined countless times how Yang would react when she saw this drawing, but she never thought that she would attach importance to it to this extent. But the more this happens, the more it shows that she is old enough to be serious.
took the drawings of the sedan chair from Wu Shun's hand, looked left and right, and his face was uncontrollably happy: "Zhi'er, tell me, how did you think of this thing, it's really good." ”
Cooperate with her old man, Helan Minzhi showed an embarrassed expression, and after the grandfather and grandson made a joke, they began to talk about business.
"Grandmother, do you think this thing can be managed?"
"Absolutely."
"Zhi'er has already asked the three slaves he just bought to find the famous carpenters and tailors in Chang'an City, this thing is simple to make, as long as the workmanship is a little finer, it will soon be sold."
Gently nodding Helan Minzhi's forehead, Wu Shun said with a smile: "My silly boy, just the three Kunlun slaves you just bought, even if you wander around the market for a few days, you can't come to the market." Of course, you have to ask your grandmother about these things! ”
Yang looked at him with a smile: "It seems that Zhi'er already has some preliminary ideas, so let grandmother listen, what does Zhi'er think?" ”
Looking at Yang's effective eyes, Helan Minzhi knew that this was not the time to hide clumsy, only by letting Mrs. Yang absolutely trust her ability and not treat herself as an eight-year-old child, many things would continue to do in the future.
"I have some ideas, and I would like to ask my grandmother and mother for advice." As he spoke, he even stood up and bowed to the two of them.
"First of all, as a means of travel, this sedan chair is facing court officials, family valves, and rich businessmen at the lowest grade."
"Since it's a means of transportation, why can't ordinary people?" Wu Shun asked a question. This is obviously something that everyone can think of, and she asked it just to test her son.
Glancing at his mother, Helan Minzhi touched his forehead and was speechless.
"Stinky boy, it's against you. Don't fight for three days? ”
"Go up to the house and uncover the tiles." Sticking out his little tongue, he followed Wu Shun's words.
"Hey!"
"Okay, okay, Auntie, I was wrong. And then and so on, and so on. It's not that ordinary people can't, because the cost of this sedan chair is not very expensive, if the ordinary sedan chair is nothing more than wood and ordinary cloth, but the expensive place lies in manpower. ”
"Manpower?"
"Yes, it's manpower. Please see that this sedan chair needs to be carried by someone whether it is a small two-person sedan chair, an ordinary four-person sedan chair, or a large eight-person sedan chair. For ordinary people, how can there be that spare money to hire someone to carry a sedan chair. ”
Hearing this, Yang couldn't help but nod and smile: "Zhi'er is young, it seems that along the way, I have seen a lot of people's suffering." ”
"Yes, along the way, I have also seen a lot of scenes that were rare in the house before. But this sedan chair is not really open to ordinary people, but at that time it will develop to a relatively large business state. ”
Then he pointed to the sedan chair drawings in Yang's hand and said: "Since it is facing these dignitaries, the sedan chair must be made well." It's the same for both the wood and the cloth on the outside, and it's not a problem to set the price higher. I believe that no nobleman can afford to use such a sedan chair. ”
"That's right." Yang nodded in agreement.
"This requires highly skilled carpenters and tailors with many years of experience. At the same time, we needed a store. ”
"The store is a must, you don't have to look for it outside. I have it in my hand, and it's very close to the East Market. ”
"That's great. At the same time, according to the different owners of each sedan chair, subtle modifications can be made to make people feel comfortable. For example, if you like a simple literati, you don't have the slightest accessory. If you are a woman who pursues flamboyance, you can add some gold and silver thread to embroider on the sedan chair. ”
Hearing this, Wu Shun couldn't help laughing: "If this is the case, then there will definitely be a completely different style of scenery in this Chang'an City in the future." ”
"A-Niang likes it too, right? If the operation is good, this Chang'an City, especially women. This sedan chair is bound to become a battlefield for them to compete for beauty. After speaking, the corners of Helan Minzhi's mouth couldn't help but show a smile. Thinking of the beauty of the Tang Dynasty sitting in the sedan chair, I lifted the curtains of the sedan chair...
Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.
"Smack"
Wu Shun's weak palm was not light at all on the back of his head, and it turned out that Helan Minzhi's memory was full of what she had done when she was a child.
"I've never seen anyone whose children knew they wanted women when they were eight years old."
"Didn't you see anyone whose children would be in business when they were eight years old?" muttered silently, but he didn't dare to let his mother hear it, and he was again. In his heart, he was slandered, and he smiled and showed a teachable look.
"Okay, Shun'er don't interrupt," Zhi'er continued.
"Yes, this third point is the manpower I just mentioned. Every dignitary will have a servant in his family, so there is no problem in the family of ordinary people who carry the sedan chair. But there are also skills in carrying the sedan chair, how to use force, how to carry it steadily, and how not to shake it. I train for a person carrying a sedan chair for one day and can use it immediately. This can also be an operating income. “
"You kid is out of money, hahaha." Hearing Helan Minzhi's words, Yang laughed, but did not deny his words.
Knowing that his plan had been approved by Mrs. Yang, He Lanmin also had her own worries in her heart.
"Zhi'er knows that doing business in this Chang'an City, this favor is sent, dealing with the local ruffians and hooligans, managing the city officials in the east and west markets, and so on. But because I'm too young, there's no way to do it. ”
Wu Shun stood up from the bed and stroked his slightly messy hair with his hand. Squatting in front of him, he hugged him gently: "Silly boy, you are good enough." A-Niang can't do nothing, can she? ”
Looking at his mother, Helan Minzhi smiled.
"By the way, I almost forgot to mention it. I'm afraid that there is one thing that will be even more difficult for my grandmother. ”
"Say." Yang looked very happy, and it was beyond her imagination that her grandson could mature to this point at the age of eight.
"The first step is to need the help of my grandmother, aren't you going to my uncle's house in two days? Please wait until the first sedan chair is formed, and then you sit on the sedan chair. And I heard that his old man is also close to his ears, which is considered the sincerity of the kid to care about his elders, and gave him an old man, along with four Kunlun slaves. ”
Hearing Helan Minzhi say this, what kind of person is the Yang family, can he hide this little Jiujiu from her?
"You kid, really... Pointing at him and smiling, I didn't know what to say.
"It's not that my grandson is like this all of a sudden, it's just that my father died early and the family has changed dramatically. Although the grandson suffered from the warmth and coldness of the family at home, although he was carefully cared for by his grandmother when he first arrived in Chang'an, the grandson knew the attitude of his uncle at yesterday's feast. In such a world, if my grandson doesn't work hard, where is this place for my mother and son! Struggled out of Wu Shun's arms and saluted the Yang family, and said something with a serious face.
Not only Wu Shun, but also the Yang family were instantly shocked.
At this time, she once again carefully looked at her grandson. At the age of eight, he is not very tall. Dressed in white, there is no difference from yesterday, it should be a love of white. The little face is white and tender, like a fairy boy carved in pink and jade. At this time, he didn't have the smile he had all the time. There's no joking anymore. His face sank like water, so that the people who saw him were not unserious and serious.
Yang Shi put his eyes on Helan Minzhi's eyes, at this time, his eyes were no longer calm and mature. Instead of worry, only worry remains.
is worried about the road ahead, and also worried about the life of the mother and son in Chang'an City.
Isn't it too cruel to let such a young child start thinking about the burden of life and family? Thinking back to when he was eight years old, Yang was left with only a wry smile. In the days after seeing him, what he thought was his father's death and what happened to his mother and uncle did not leave a shadow in his heart. It seems that this is not the case. It's just that the child is mature and sensible. Know how to hide these shadows and think about how to live.
At this time, Yang didn't know what to say, maybe it was useless to say anything, after all, something had happened. I'm already seventy years old, even if I can shelter them, how many years can I shelter? His concerns were justified.
Looking at Helan Minzhi, she nodded: "Don't worry, grandmother knows." In the East Market, there is a tailor shop in the southwest corner, and the tailor surnamed Ma is very good. Back then, she was also a female official in the palace for a period of time, and she was in charge of the clothes of the talented people and Jieyumen. But if you want to say this carpenter, Dongshi is really not famous, a few years ago, my grandmother in Xishi knew that there was a carpenter surnamed Zhang with exquisite craftsmanship, and the furniture at home in previous years was from him. You can find someone to find out. Take advantage of these two days, make a finished product and let me try it! ”
