Chapter Seventy-Two: A Plan to Make a Fortune

Wu Jin walked slowly with a heavy heart, he was thinking about how to make a lot of money before entering Beijing, this was a mentality left over from his previous life, no matter what he did in the future, he couldn't tolerate an empty pocket, he had been thinking about his eldest brother during this time, and now that the dispute between Hu Cao's main affairs had fallen into the dust, he should turn his mind back and consider his wallet.

Wujin has great ambitions, he wants to do both the cultural industry and the money bank, but he doesn't have much money except for the seven thousand taels of silver invested in the pawnshop, and later he lent the fifth uncle 1,500 taels of silver to make circulation funds, and he only has 1,200 taels of silver on him.

Now although his father left him 10,000 taels of silver, if he wants to make a big cultural industry or open a money bank, these require a lot of capital, and it will take a long time, he can't wait, he needs to dig out his first pot of gold as soon as possible, the best is like gambling, you can get money in a blink of an eye, and it must be legal.

Wu Jin has been thinking about this matter for the past two days, in fact, he has already found an opportunity, and he is not the only one, the young lady of the Qi family seems to have found it too.

He must now be in front of Miss Qi and seize this rare opportunity to make a fortune, and before he knew it, he had come to the Eight Immortals Bridge.

Baxian Bridge is not far from Huangfu's mansion, only three miles away, which is close to the East City Gate and is one of the most prosperous areas in Weiyang County.

Speaking of which, the history of the Eight Immortals Bridge is long, at the beginning of the establishment of Weiyang County, it is said that it was sealed by the Emperor Taizong of the Daning Dynasty, and there is a tablet in the north of the bridge, which is the imperial book of Emperor Taizong, the three words of 'Eight Immortal Bridge', and he also said that there is any special feng shui in this area.

The reason why it is named the Eight Immortals Bridge has nothing to do with the eight immortals who crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and the legend is that there are eight immortals who watch fish on this bridge, so it is named.

This kind of legend is very cheap and mentally retarded, just like telling the story of the big bad wolf to children in kindergarten.

Wu Jin is not interested in the legend of the Eight Immortals Bridge, but he is very dissatisfied with the Eight Immortals Bridge, the Eight Immortals Bridge is a two-hundred-year-old wooden bridge, two hundred years of wind and rain erosion, making it very old, there are more people on the bridge, you will feel a little shaky, especially when the carriage crosses the bridge, the creaking sound, as if the bridge is about to collapse at any time.

Last time, the traffic of the Tree God Festival was too large, but the railing was overwhelmed, and one was broken, and a woman fell into the water and was rescued by him, causing a big storm.

The residents and businesses around the bridge were dissatisfied and asked the county to rebuild it, but after the county ordered Zhang Rong to inspect it, he said that the bridge could be used for five years, and there was no follow-up to repair the bridge.

Wujin crossed the bridge and came to the store, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the fifth uncle, Huangfu Gui, was holding his cheeks, lazily planning there, and there were no customers in the store.

"Fifth uncle, why are you not energetic, did you drink too much last night?" Wu Jin asked with a smile as he sat on the guest's high chair.

"It's not! I didn't drink at all last night. ”

"Then why? Could it be that the fifth uncle wants to marry a concubine? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Huangfugui sighed, "Wujin! We may have chosen the wrong place for this store. ”

"Why? Wasn't the fifth uncle quite satisfied at that time? ”

"Hey! I am greedy for a small bargain, Guan Lao Er gave me the goods worth 8,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of plates, I was greedy for a while before I went on, and now it seems that it may be a big deal for Guan Er. ”

Huang Fugui's eyes showed remorse, and his expression was extremely depressed.

"Fifth uncle, is it a bad business?"

"Yes!" Huangfu Gui hated and said: "This has been open for six days, and a total of seventy taels of silver have been earned, and this month, at most there is only a profit of three hundred and fifty taels of silver, which is still an old customer to make a little bit of face, if there is no old customer, it will be even worse, it is estimated that there is not even two hundred taels, how can this work!" Opening a pawnshop with a monthly profit of less than 500 taels is a failure. ”

Wu Jin knew that this was actually the fifth uncle's expectations were too high, and when the actual situation was far lower than expected, he could not accept it, so he persuaded him, "This is just the beginning, you have to take your time and accumulate a little bit, how can there be a booming business from the beginning." ”

"Wujin, it's not because of this, it's because our market is too poor, and it's all because I didn't look carefully at the time."

"The market is not good?"

Wu Jin felt that the market here was not good and too remote, but the fifth uncle insisted that the pawnshop was important for word of mouth, so he didn't say anything, and now it seems that it is still a problem with the market, Wu Jin complained about the fifth uncle afterwards, so he pretended not to understand and asked him: "Fifth uncle, how do you say this?" ”

"Didn't you notice? The vast majority of people came down from the Eight Immortals Bridge, and went directly to the east, and the people who came in from outside the city also went directly to the Eight Immortals Bridge, and did not come to us at all, only some people who went to Laojunguan to burn incense will go to the west of the bridge, but our pawnshop is still in the west of Laojunguan, and then go west is Humin Lane, the alley has been barren, and it is a broken road, and no one goes there at all. ”

Speaking of this, Huangfu Gui was so remorseful that he pulled his hair, "It's all my fault!" Why should I be greedy for this little bargain? ”

Wu Jin is actually very aware of this problem, he rolled in the mall for ten years in his previous life, and he understands very well the important surname of the city, the same street, just because the market is different, the business will have a situation of ice and fire, this situation is very common.

Therefore, Yang Ji Liquor Store is facing Qiaotou, and the business is booming, but they are so deserted here, so their rent is so cheap, only less than 30% of the rent of other shops, he has always wanted to tell the fifth uncle, but the competition of the head of Hu Cao makes him have no time to separate.

"Then according to the meaning of the fifth uncle, what should we do?"

"Wu Jin, I want to return this store and find another place to open a store."

Huang Fugui has been thinking about this problem for the past two days, he has calculated very clearly, generally speaking, the most taboo business is to move due to failure halfway, which is very unlucky, but he has no choice, he is afraid that Wu Jin will object, and hurriedly calculated an account for him, "Our capital is mainly in the goods, these counters, chairs, and shelves can be moved, the rent is only two hundred and fifty taels of silver per year, and we only pay for one year, if we quit the rent, the landlord will return at least half of the rent, then our loss is only one hundred and twenty taels, If we change places, we can easily earn back, and in addition, the furniture shelves did not cost money in the first place, plus the inventory was bought cheaply, so we did not lose money, and we made money. ”

Wu Jin didn't care about the relocation halfway, "Did the fifth uncle talk to the landlord?" ”

"I asked Luo Xiucai to tell the landlord, and I heard Luo Xiucai say that he also wants to sell this shop, so it doesn't matter if we rent it or not."

Wu Jin's eyes lit up, how could it be so coincidental, he was still going to spend a lot of money to buy this shop, he hurriedly asked: "Can the fifth uncle be sure?" I mean, the landlord wants to sell the shop? ”

"I guess so! Luo Xiucai is very familiar with him, and what he says is credible. ”

As he was talking, he saw Luo Xiucai leading the landlord in.......

The landlord is a man about forty years old, surnamed Liang, who lives outside the city of Weiyang South, and is a small landowner with hundreds of acres of farmland.

Liang Yuanwai's ancestors were Weiyang households, and almost all the land in the area of Baxian Bridge was his family's private property, and then the family road was ruined, and the land was basically sold, leaving an ancestral hall covering an area of more than 20 acres and a vacant land of nearly ten acres in Hu Min Lane, and now even the ancestral hall was changed to Lao Junguan by his grandfather, which has been dilapidated for decades.

The pawnshop was repaired later, and I wanted to rent it out to make some money, but because the market was too poor, I couldn't rent it at all, and now I heard that Huangfugui wanted to quit the rent, which made the landlord feel very frustrated.

According to the rules of the business, if he evicts the tenant, then he must not only return the rent in full, but also pay double compensation, but if the tenant breaks the contract, then he only needs to refund half of the rent.

But the problem is that Liang Yuanwai recently wanted to buy a piece of good good land from his neighbor's house, with nearly 1,000 acres, and he had coveted that piece of fertile land for many years, and it happened that the neighbor was going to move back to his hometown, so he planned to sell this land, of course Liang Yuanwai wanted to buy it, the price had been negotiated, and a total of 10,000 taels of silver was needed, but he only had more than 2,000 taels of silver, which was not enough at all, so he planned to sell the pawnshop and make up 4,000 taels, at least 400 acres of fertile land.

At this time, Huang Fugui wanted to return the rent, and he had to return one hundred and twenty taels of silver, which meant that he had to reduce ten acres of land, which made him feel painful, but there was no way, he had to come to the door to handle the surrender of the rent.

"Huangfu shopkeeper, you are too unkind, why do you quit the rent at this time? I'm strapped for money right now! ”
