[5] Facade

He Wannian held the mobile phone and looked at it more and more, and only felt that he was half a cut short in front of Yao Fan. He was careful that he didn't dare to use force, for fear of crushing, and he didn't dare to hold it with one hand, for fear of falling down, so he had to hold it with both hands.

Under the guidance of Yao Fan, He Wannian calculated by himself, and the more he calculated, the more frightened he became.

"Brother Yao, this, what's this thing called? Look at my memory. He Wannian asked Yao Fan eagerly.

"Computer!" Yao Fan smiled and repeated patiently.

"Our Yao family has a side business in Europe, which is to specialize in making these computer tools and selling them to European royal nobles. Brother He, you must know that the European royal family's silver flow is tens of millions, and if there is no computer to help, then it will not be counted for three days and three nights. ”

He Wannian held the "computer" in his heart like a treasure, and asked eagerly: "Brother Yao, let me ask you, why can the words appear on this box?" What kind of fairy method is this? ”

Yao Fan saw that He Wannian looked eager and obsessed, and said in his heart that it would be good to be in the set. Immediately, the mouth frothed, and the corners of his mouth slanted nonsense: "This is the most advanced electrical calculator in Europe, and the one with Arabic numerals displayed on it is an electrical screen, which has countless mechanisms, driving heaven and earth electrical for its calculation, as for the others, I can't say, and the mystery is only known to European and Western scientists." I came to Qingdao in a bit of a hurry this time, and I have to have dinner with the state judge here in the evening, so I will first bet it on you to exchange some silver money for spending, and when my cargo ship comes to Qingdao from Shanghai in two days, it will naturally be redeemed. ”

After that, Yao Fan took the tea bowl brought by the guy who was amazed at the calculator on the side and said, "If you want to say that your boss He is also a blessed person, if it weren't for my temporary turnover, how could I use this computer worth 300,000 gold francs as collateral here?" So where can you have the opportunity to open your eyes and see this amazing Western thing in the world today? ”

He Wannian wiped his hot sweat and said in surprise: "Brother Yao, this computer is really rare, it's really amazing!" But the shop has never been a such thing, and the price is really uncertain, may I ask Mr. Yao, do you plan to live or die? ”

"Naturally, it is a job, ten days and half a month's turnover, at most one month."

He Wannian said: "Since it is a job, not to be sold, the 10,000 taels of silver is precious, and you don't say anything about 300,000 gold francs to me." The small shop has a small profit, and it can't be taken out anyway.

Why don't you do this, how about I give you a turnover of two thousand taels? For the current month, the monthly interest rate is 2 cents and 1 cent. If you are willing to die, then I will grit my teeth and make up three thousand taels for you. ”

Yao Fanxin said that he was just asking for a price to pay back on the spot, and if the goal was achieved, it would be won.

"I want cash, do you have it?"

He Wannian said with a smile: "This Qing Dynasty, if you want cash, it is better to bring silver tickets, the tickets of the four Hengs in the capital are as you choose, on this Quanye Street, there is a ready-made gold store with Hengli, and Brother Yao can exchange cash when he wants to exchange silver." ”

Yao Fan nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and said simply: "Then it's two thousand taels, and it will take a few days to turn around." However, this money must be fixed in small quantities to make it easier for me to spend it. ”

So He Wannian carefully wrapped the mobile phone with his personal handkerchief, sent it to the back warehouse, and then came out to fill in the pawn ticket, and took out the silver ticket with a large denomination and a small denomination to divide it carefully, and then put some scattered silver two pawn tickets together in a white compass cloth cloth, and gave it to Yao Fan with the handkerchief, Yao Fan ordered it correctly, wrapped it and put it away.

After getting the silver, Yao Fan was embarrassed to leave immediately, sat in the store with Erlang's legs crossed, and chatted with He Wannian while drinking tea.

"Boss He, let me ask you, where are the shops for rent in this city? In addition, I need a storeroom, and the bigger the better.

He Wannian hid his mobile phone in the back warehouse of the store, came over and sat down with him and said: "You are asking the right person, just behind this Quanye Street, I have three shops on that Taiping Street, one of the rice shops has just moved to Fuhai Street, and the shop is vacant, if you have to be free, you might as well go with me to see, if you can see it, then you can rent it, the price is negotiable." ”

Yao Fan was anxious, and immediately said, "Let's go." ”

He Wannian smiled and glanced Yao Fan up and down, and asked, "You are going to wear this?" ”

Yao Fan came to his senses, nodded and said, "This suit is indeed a bit out of place, what does Boss He mean?" ”

"Boss Yao, if you don't dislike the old one, I just got married in the store a few days ago, and there is a good lake silk gown, eighty percent new, you can take a look, if you want to agree, I will give it to you."

Yao Fan said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to it, we do business from south to north, it's too good to dress too well, you don't dare to accept it if you send it, you just talk about how much money you should have." ”

He Wannian shook his head and waved his hand and said politely: "Brother Yao has seen the outside, hasn't he?" Where did you say this, when this garment was used as two taels of silver, you gave it back to two taels. ”

Saying that, He Wannian instructed the guy to take it, Yao Fan tried it to fit, the dark blue lake silk was half new and not old, and the wide robe was put on the outside of the suit with large sleeves, but it didn't feel tight.

The guy on the side said pleasantly: "Hey, it fits, it looks like it was prepared for the master." This garment should be put in an old clothes shop, and it will cost five taels to say the least. ”

Yao Fan smiled and thanked He Wannian, and put it directly on the outside of the suit.

The two got up, Yao Fan was bareheaded, wearing black leather shoes under his feet, with a green silk shirt on his body, and no braids at the back of his head.

"Brother Yao, what do you think of this shop?" He Wanniantao almost shouted Brother Yao, standing on the side of the street and pointing to the shops on Taiping Street facing Yao Fandao.

Yao Fan was silent, waiting for him to unlock the side door.

Yao Fan pushed the door in, and saw that it was a two-entry courtyard, and the front and rear courtyards were each paved with blue bricks and the porch of the long houses that communicated the east, west, north and south. Moss had grown on the bricks, and no one lived there for about a while. The front yard is larger, with an area of about 100 square meters, and the back yard is smaller, with a total area of 80 square meters. The four corners of the front yard were planted with a large locust tree and three thin small weeping poplars, but the backyard was bare without trees, but two waist-high large water tanks were placed. After calculation, the pavement of the front street plus all the houses in the back two entrances has a pure indoor area of about 700 square meters.

Yao Fan didn't have time to look at the rooms one by one, so he asked He Wannian directly: "How to calculate this rent?" ”

He Wannian replied simply: "18 taels for half a year, 34 taels for a year." ”

"It's not expensive, then I'll rent it for a year."

Saying that, Yao Fan paid for He Wannian, and said in his heart that the rent in these years was really cheap enough. He Wannian saw Yao Fan so happy, and his heart for friendship was even greater.

Yao Fan asked again, "Boss He, this house can only be used as a store, and there is not enough place to put the goods, do you know where there is a big warehouse?" ”

He Wannian put the silver in his pocket and said: "If you want to talk about a large warehouse in Qingdao, there are several largest warehouses next to the digital head, which are the industries of the northern and southern commercial houses, you can rent some places to put the goods, and you will never rent the entire warehouse to you."

Yao Fan frowned: "I have a lot of goods, and I can't put it in a small place." If I want to build a large warehouse here, what should I do? ”

He Wannian waved his hand and said lightly: "The land enclosed in the city wall of Qingdao Kou is only twenty taels of silver per mu, and the maximum amount of land with good boundaries is forty taels, and the eleven or two taels with poor land boundaries can be won."

As for the land outside the city wall and on the edge of the wharf, it was originally possible to get two or two acres, but now it has to be seven taels upward.

As for the rocky beach and barren grassland outside the city, nothing grows except grass. There is the cheapest when twisting, one or two dollars a mu, and now the price is a little up, but it is only two taels.

As for arable land, I don't think you're interested. ”

"As long as I build a warehouse, I will choose the rocky beach and barren grassland outside the city, after all, the land there is cheap, and it is close to the city, so it is easy to take care of."

He Wannian was also refreshed and agreed: "Then I will help Brother Yao ask about Diyazi in the next two days, and if there is a suitable land, I will ask them to keep it for you." As for the formalities, since you know Sun Zhouju, he will definitely be able to help. ”

"Okay, then Brother He will help me pay attention to the inquiry, and I will thank you again when the time comes."

"Look at what you said, it's not hitting me in the face. Brother Yao came back from the West to find his ancestors, and I should have been thankful for my help. He Wannian smiled, but his heart was very useful.

Yao Fan now feels that He Wannian is quite familiar with the local land prices and various businesses, and has a good impression of him.

He Wannian felt very strange in his heart, the indescribable temperament on Yao Fan's body was majestic and independent, like a towering tree between heaven and earth, which made people trust, but this person's gestures were not similar to ordinary people, and he was free and easy in his casualness, which was really strange.

He Wannian felt that overseas Chinese like Yao Fan were probably like this, right? It looks completely different from the merchants of the Great Qing Kingdom. Ordinary businessmen in the Qing Dynasty were treacherous and flattering if they were either philistines, and few people were as righteous and decisive as Yao Fan.

"In the end, I have seen the world, I want to come to Jiaozhou Port to rent a storefront, and in the future, he will build a warehouse, which must be a long-term business here, and it is really worth having a good relationship with him." He Wannian thought.

Yao Fan asked from He Wannian's mouth to understand the land market in Qingdaokou, and finally knew that the land price at this time had no resistance to him at all. In this way, the space needed for one's own space-time trade will be completed.

Yao Fan only took a cursory look at the houses in this courtyard, and saw that they were all very simple, so he walked outside the courtyard, and before leaving, he asked He Wannian to help him find some guys to clean up the shop, and roughly set up some tables, chairs, benches, beds and other shared household goods, He Wannian agreed.

After the two separated, Yao Fan looked up and saw that it was not early, and strode towards the mansion, to invite the state judge Sun Maowen to dinner.

When I came to the door of the mansion, there were already people waiting.

Yao Fan, the second devil, had a very eye-catching appearance, and he couldn't cover it in a robe, so the family members of the Sun Mansion recognized it from a distance and greeted him.

"Master Yao, my lord invites you to go to the Shijia Hotel, and my lord will come later."

Yao Fan nodded, and casually took a tael of silver from the sleeve pocket to reward the family, Yao Fan saw the Qing Dynasty when he was studying, and knew that this reward for silver was the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the reputation of a person, so he had already put some loose silver in his sleeve pocket.

The Sun family nodded and stuffed the silver into the crack of the belt, thanked him in an excited trill, and trotted with a lantern to lead the way, and kept bowing and turning around, and greeted Yao Fan to be careful of the dirty mud, stinky water, and pits under his feet.

Generally speaking, the Qing people don't give much money, and in the TV series, it is really the head of a prince or a big family to sell a piece of silver, and it is generally very generous to give three or five coppers or ten or even a dozen eldest sons, but where does Yao Fan know these rules.

This Sun family usually won a generous reward of one or two silver, and they were naturally overjoyed. It's just that I don't understand why Yao Fan is so generous and obviously a huge rich, why didn't he take a carriage or horse?

Yao Fan followed this Sun family to the Shijia Hotel, and saw that there were red lanterns hanging up and down the two-story wooden building, and there were four in front of the door, and each of them had a single word written on it, which was "Shi, home, rice, and shop".
