"Saijia Cloth Village, the first store in Datang."

"What a domineering sign."

Standing not far from Saijia Buzhuang, Xia Shang looked at the huge plaque and secretly said that he was surprised, and the door also wrote in gilt words, "The flower brocade tree is not fragrant, and it is sincere to the southeast and northwest guests".

Eldest Sun Wen patted Xia Shang on the shoulder: "Don't look at it, this shop can't work." Famous stores in the capital, you can't buy them. ”

Of course, Xia Shang didn't fall in love with Saijia Cloth Village, but he just felt that the store in front of him was much bigger than the Saijia Cloth Village elsewhere, and he was just curious to look at it for a long time.

When I turned around, wasn't the store I was facing just right?

Xia Shang is located at the junction of the West Market and Changshou Street, to the West Market, the horizontal is Changshou Street, a formal T-junction, and it is a big street, it seems to be a transportation hub, Saijia Buzhuang occupies the upper corner of the storefront, Xia Shang is located in the lower corner, and Saijia Buzhuang door to door.

Take another look at the shop opposite Saijia Cloth Village.

"Access to the workshop? What to do here? Xia Shang pointed.

This Tongda workshop is very strange, it is a three-story flat building, that is, the upstairs and downstairs are equal in area, the structure is quite quite, there is not much decoration, there is only one signboard, the door is open, but the scenery in the house is blocked by two greasy white cloths, and you can faintly feel that it is very noisy inside.

Wei Shuxuan shrugged his shoulders and didn't care: "It's just a gambling house." ”

"Gambling house?" Xia Shang was very strange, "Why did you hang a signboard for a workshop?" ”

"The gambling house signs are all big fields, and the workshops are small fields, and the backstage is not too hard, so they dare not blatantly grab business with others. The people who gamble here are also idle little people, which is not unusual. How? Brother Xia has taken a fancy to this? ”

Xia Shang nodded.

Wei Shuxuan didn't agree: "Brother Xia, the buildings that have opened the gambling house are all smoky, people say that feng shui is not good, let's take a look elsewhere, right?" ”

"I don't know about Feng Shui, I just know that this is a traffic artery, and almost everyone who comes to Xishi from the north of the city passes through here. And it is close to the West Market, so people who buy vegetables or buy goods in the West Market in the morning can stop and eat here when they are tired. Moreover, if you look at the Jiangnan Buzhuang opposite, such a large storefront, the people who come and go must be big people, and by the way, they can also make the other side famous. This is a godsend! ”

Feng Shui is good or not, these sons and brothers must not know, but Xia Shang said that it is indeed good, and Changsun Wen was the first to agree, and then reached an agreement.

The next trouble is that several sons and brothers know who opened this store, and they don't know who is behind it. Xia Shang was worried that people would not sell it, and the price offered was too high.

At this point, Wei Shuxuan waved his chest and promised: "Brother Xia, don't worry, just because he is playing a sign like 'Tongda Workshop', I don't believe that he dares not to sell!" Let's go first. ”

This Wei Shuxuan seems to have studied the casino very much, and the action of opening the block and entering it feels like going home.

Xia Shang was worried that these sons and brothers would have their temper and make trouble, and when the time came, they would have to settle the accounts on the good food, so they hurriedly followed and explained to a few people: "Pay attention, let's be polite before guests, talk about it first, and see what their bid is, if it really doesn't work, you will come forward again." ”

"Done! You are a big boss, what you say is what you say. Let's talk, I'll go play two laps first. ”

As soon as he entered the casino, Wei Shuxuan seemed to be a different person, and impatiently shook off everyone and stood on the side of the crowd.

This Tongda workshop is indeed a small casino, not that it is a small place, but that the facilities inside and the people in the casino are not high-grade. The whole space is smoky, and the doors and windows are tightly closed, dull and depressing, making people frown unconsciously.

The characteristics of small casinos that are not up to grade are that there are many people, crowded people, and the aisles are blocked.

Xia Shang squeezed through the crowd for a long time and couldn't find where the casino manager was. Looking back, the eldest grandson Wen and Yang Yuzhi were also gone, and when he asked Mei Ruheng, he knew that they were also attracted to the edge of the gaming table.

Xia Shang asked Mei Ruheng curiously, why didn't he try it?

Mei Ruheng smiled: "Don't gamble for business, this is a family motto." ”

One sentence made Xia Shang embarrassed, and secretly thought that there was a reason why the Mei family could have today.

Under Mei Ruheng's guidance, Xia Shang finally squeezed through the area with the most people and came to the backstage. The people who come here either borrow money or pawn things. It was a small cubicle, with a few wooden pillars separating the people inside from the outside, and the people who seemed to be in charge inside were sitting on the chaise longue and baring their teeth, not knowing what good things they had just eaten.

Seeing someone coming, the other party asked very skillfully: "Borrow money or pawn, borrow money with three points of interest, and pawn at three percent of the price." ”

Mei Ruheng said: "Let's buy a house." ”

Maybe it was because they hadn't heard a fresh voice for too long, and the people inside turned over from the recliner and stood up with a sneer, looking at Xia Shang and Mei Ruheng with a smile, probably seeing that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily and didn't show too much mockery.

"Say it again, what are you doing here?"

Xia Shang said kindly: "I am a delicious and virtuous owner, have you heard of it?" ”

"Delicious? The one who sells mutton soup? The kind that pushes the cart all day? ”

"That's right."

"Since it's the owner, it's disrespectful and disrespectful."

Xia Shang cleared his throat: "Ahem, that's the case, I fell in love with your store here and wanted to buy him, I don't know how much to give?" ”

"You ...... You're not kidding, are you? ”

"Of course not!" Mei Ruheng was a little impatient, he could see at a glance that this person couldn't be the master, so he didn't be polite to him, "Call your host too, let's talk face to face." ”

"Hey! What a big breath, do you think our owner can see it if he wants to? ”

Mei Ruheng was not angry, and sneered: "In this case, then test your eyesight to see if you recognize this thing?" ”

Mei Ruheng took out a jade pendant with a plum character engraved on it.

The jade pendant fell into the hands of the man inside, and he only glanced at it, and almost sat on the recliner.

"Mei Mei Mei ...... People from the Mei family? ”

"Little Master of the Mei family, Mei Ruheng. Now I'm qualified to talk to your boss in person, right? ”

I have to say that there are a few second ancestors who support a lot of good things, as soon as I heard Mei Ruheng's name, the person inside was like a mouse seeing a cat, and even his words became stumbling, so he reluctantly invited the two of them to wait in the compartment, and ran to invite the owner by himself.

After a stick of incense, the owner of the casino came, a middle-aged official, smiling very hypocritically, and greeted Mei Ruheng to say hello and so on, and Xia Shang was left aside.

When he heard that he was going to sell his casino, the middle-aged man first asked whether Xia Shang wanted to buy it or Mei Ruheng wanted to buy it.

After Xia Shang explained that he bought it in the name of delicious and reasonable, this person did not refuse, but the price offered made people a little angry.

Five thousand taels!

Mei Ruheng didn't say anything, because he didn't know how much the house was worth, and looked at Xia Shang.

Xia Shang's brows were twisted, knowing that the other party offered this price because he wanted to make it difficult for him to retreat, and he didn't want to sell it at all.
