Chapter 40: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs

"Outside the Qian, I heard that your son is going to get married, congratulations. With your high morality, presumably the guests are like clouds, can the house be open? ”

"Master Chen, I heard that Ling's son-in-law is from Jinshi, and he wants to visit you at the end of the year, and he also needs many friends, is it convenient at home?"

"Boss Lu, your business is so big, and the people you come and go with are wealthy businessmen, you always have to find a more chic place to entertain people, right?"

……

If you just ask people these words, you will inevitably be suspected of underestimating others, but after listening to Xu Yuanzuo's next words, no one felt offended.

Because:

Anyone who saves 100 taels of silver to the Xujia cabinet can use a small garden in the Xu Garden in Xia Wei with a "gift money" of 10 taels of silver per day.

"Although the silver on the zĂ i chest has no dividends, it can be used against the price." Xu Yuanzuo explained to the squires of the Winter Garden one by one.

The reason why the guests of the Winter Garden spend a lot of money to attend a party that has nothing to do with their own money is precisely because they are not short of money, only of status! In the entire Songjiang Mansion, who can have a higher status than Xu Ge Lao?

What Xu Yuanzuo is selling now is not the rental service of Xia Wei Xu Yuan at all, but the prestige influence of Xu Ge Lao.

The people present are all smart people, and of course they know how helpful it is to be able to get involved with the Xu family. Especially for receiving guests, or business partners, people don't know that this is rented for money, they will only think that this person has great powers and can climb the relationship with Xu Gelao.

This trend of using the garden to entertain guests to increase their own value only flourished after Wanli, and Xu Yuanzuo can now be regarded as the first to open the trend.

"Save the money in the zĂ i cabinet...... Is it reliable? "Naturally, some people are interested in this hundred and twenty points.

First, this hundred taels of silver is indeed a large amount, and second, the fruits of this silver are not a small amount!

In Jiangnan, where commerce is developed, even the shops that sell sugar in ordinary towns have people who deposit money on the counter to get interest at the end of the year. As for those well-known big businesses, there are many requirements for customers who save money, so as to avoid conflicts such as early payment. It can be said that this is the prototype of a bank, and it can also be regarded as a fundraising behavior without legal definition.

Taking the Xu family's cloth as an example, one hundred taels is stored in one year, and the red interest of three or five taels is guaranteed. If you are bold and directly invest in maritime trade smuggling, as long as the ship can come back, the income will be more than ten times. All in all, this hundred taels of silver can be regarded as a very valuable amount.

Xu Yuanzuo did not answer the question of whether it is reliable or not. This kind of problem can't be talked about to the end, some people are so timid that they are afraid of being deceived when they buy a brush, you tell him to be reliable? I can't say enough about this time next year.

So Xu Yuanzuo only said consumption.

"Rent a garden like this, ten taels a day; Rent the main hall, fifteen taels; Flower hall eight taels; Thirty taels in the theater. Xu Yuanzuo quoted casually, regardless of the level: "What is enough for this hundred taels?" I'm afraid you'll have to add more. He added: "This is nothing more than a threshold for the road, so that everyone will not bump into each other when they are going to use it." There are only 20 places in my house. ”

Where there are places, there is competition. There were thirty people present, all of whom were squires with heads and faces, and if only twenty people could get this opportunity, then the remaining ten people would be the losers, a minority. When others return with a full load, they leave empty-handed, and then look at the future when people come to and go to the Xu family, bragging about it, and they want to enter but have no door, isn't it miserable?

Xu Yuanzuo teased slightly, and people who had major events within a few years made deposits or signed notes, and they could come to the door to withdraw the silver when Xu Yuanzuo was empty. Xu Yuanzuo also took out the contract that he had written overnight, but there was no word "rent" on it, but he said that the Xu family was willing to lend it to so-and-so at his convenience.

This is the face of a powerful family, and others naturally have a sense of being despised, but if there is no desire, it is rigid, and if there is desire, it is soft. It's a seller's market now, and who can not be convinced?

Xu Yuanzuo called Luo Zhenquan to help and watched them sign the contract.

Luo Zhenquan is not a brainless person, seeing a few big families hesitating slightly, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Xu Cabinet, is this contract going to call the second master?" ”

Everyone stopped the brush in their hand and looked at Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo pretended to glare at Luo Zhenquan: "Do you want to alarm the second master if you do something big?" The silver was handed over to the ark, not to the second master. Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, only in Xia Wei New Garden can pay the fee, and we also have to issue an invoice as a voucher. Otherwise, no matter who comes to collect money, don't give it, for fear that someone will impersonate and defraud. ”

His words seemed to be relieved, but in fact, he pulled Xu Kun, the second master of the Xu family, as a pretense, and cut off Xu Kun's way to collect money by himself.

"You can read the two paragraphs of the third article of the contract." Xu Yuanzuo knew that people in this era had word worship, as long as it was written in black and white, it seemed to be full of divine power. Such an important clause naturally has to fall on paper, even if someone gets dizzy in the future and hands over the silver to Xu Sheng, there is enough legal basis on his side to refuse to admit it.

The squires read and read, and finally turned to the end, and saw a slightly strange-looking cinnabar square chapter.

This chapter is three inches long on the side, full of ingenuity, and the vermilion inscription is engraved: "Xu's Real Estate Garden Management Line".

This is a wooden seal that Xu Yuanzuo temporarily found someone to carve, and even the name was given by himself.

Speaking of which, this is quite a taboo thing, according to Luo Zhenquan, how can he talk to Xu Cheng and Xu Cheng. However, Xu Yuanzuo has his own reasons, if the old man agrees to this matter, it is naturally the idea of Xu Guanshi, if the old man is not happy to see it and feels embarrassed, it is his own temporary worker's unauthorized proposition.

"As a subordinate, if you can't carry the black pot for your boss, why should people believe you?" Xu Yuanzuo said to Luo Zhenquan.

Luo Zhenquan felt that Xu Yuanzuo was really a little crazy when he said such words, and he was actually afraid.

Xu Yuanzuo said slowly: "If the boss wants to ask his subordinates to carry the black pot, this kind of person doesn't follow." ”

Luo Zhenquan went through it in his mind, and then smoothed out these two sentences, and said secretly: This is actually the same as the original robbery at sea. As a thug, you naturally have to rush to the front line with your life, so as to prove your martial arts and get reused. Those team leaders also have to rush to the front desperately, otherwise the people below will not be convinced.

"What if the old man is angry and wants to kick you out?" Luo Zhenquan said.

"That can't be helped." Xu Yuanzuo said: "But then I will also hand over Steward Xu, and in the future, Young Master Xu will be in charge, and there will be a chance to make a comeback." ”

Luo Zhenquan shook his head slightly: "Xu Fan is an official, and the family property is in the hands of his two younger brothers, so he may not be able to get it back." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled secretly: Xu Kun and Xu Ying are two unlucky bastards, and when Hai Rui comes, he will naturally clean them up. Xu Fan is not only in charge of the family, but his son Xu Yuanchun has already become an official, and according to the original historical script, he will be Jinshi in six years, that is, in the second year of Wanli, and will inevitably become the core of the third generation of the family.

And the luck of the Xu family is not limited to this - Xu Bengao, the eldest grandson of Xu Yuanchun, will also shadow the Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and finally become the prince and the governor of the left. That Xu Bengao will also be Wang Heng's son-in-law. Wang Heng is famous as a miscellaneous dramatist in history, and his more prominent identity is the son of Wang Xijue, the first assistant of Wanli, and he also won the list.

If you want to invest in the political family in this era, which family has more investment value than Xu Fan in the Xu family?

Especially now that Xu's family seems to be in decline, Xu Fan seems to be idle, after all, this is just a fleeting moment in history, which just allows Xu Yuanzuo to enter the market.
