A carriage left the Guogong Mansion and slowly drove into the street, merging into the hustle and bustle of traffic.

Yu Rui'e frowned lightly, leaning on the Nanmu carved coffee table in contemplation.

It was learned from Xie Wenyun, Marquis of Yongning, that the Lou family army was stationed at the fortress of Xiakou Pass to confront the Yan army, and there was neither a battle report of the advance nor the news of retreat.

Besides, there was no further news; No more news is good news.

Yu Rui believed that his grandfather, who had experienced a hundred battles, would definitely be able to defeat the Yan army and return to the dynasty victoriously.

When she arrived at the Xiruitang business, Yurui got out of the car, convened several shopkeepers of the business, and officially introduced the senior brother Liu Yunting to everyone.

"Excuse me, who is this ......?" The major shopkeepers didn't recognize him, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Everyone raised their eyes and looked at this son, with a moon-white dark brocade robe, and dark green soft boots, his face was like a spring flower, and his eyes were like paint,...... What a handsome boy!

This son is the big butler of Xiruitang?

This is too young!

Who is not older than him?

The faces of the crowd were gloomy and quite unconvinced.

"Guys, not convinced?" Yu Rui raised her eyes and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Liu is good at arithmetic, honesty-based, profit-oriented, and has the talent of Tao Zhugong,...... It's not me boasting, when it comes to business and financial management, Senior Brother Liu's ability is not below you! ”

"You are in charge, we can't refute or dare to refute what you say," the shopkeeper Qin got up and arched his hand, "The old man is here because of the prestige of the Dingguo Mansion, and the Dingguo Mansion is fair,...... Is the business of the building a word? ”

This is very polite.

Yu Rui choked, and her face turned red instantly.

"Everyone, please listen to the next word," Liu Yunting stood up and bowed his hand to everyone, "I am not talented, I am willing to discuss with you, on business, on the foundation of business,...... If you lose, how about quitting consciously? ”

"...... this?"

He said it so frankly that everyone felt a bit of a bully.

"Since it is recommended by the girl in charge, there is no reason for us to stop it," after discussing with everyone, the shopkeeper Qin stood up, "Since Mr. dared to come, he naturally read a lot of books and talked about the scriptures, I am afraid that we are not your opponents!" Okay, I'll talk about examples, and you can analyze them one by one,...... If you're right, we won't say anything wrong, but if you can't,......"

"How can you ...... if you can't say it?" Yu Rui was taken aback.

"If Mr. Liu doesn't say it well," the old shopkeeper Qin's eyes narrowed, "I'm sorry, of course I'll knock Mr. away!" ”

"Senior brother......" Yu Rui turned her head and looked at Liu Yunting with some concern.

These shopkeepers are really capable, and Yurui is afraid that he won't be able to answer.

"Good!"

Liu Yunting hooked his lips and smiled, raised his hand and said, "Please speak!" ”

"Okay, accept the trust of the family, the little old man is here, of course, for the sake of Xiruitang!"

Shopkeeper Qin sat down and said slowly, "Mr. Liu, please listen: there are two shops to redeem in a certain place and a certain street. In one place, a shop in the center of a certain city sells some cloth and miscellaneous goods, and the price is negotiated face-to-face. In another place, a restaurant on the edge of the city, the façade is not large, the reputation is good, there is a fixed source of customers, and the store agrees to exchange 2,000 silver. ”

Liu Yunting smiled slightly and asked, "Shopkeeper Qin, the restaurant on the outskirts of the city is there, how big is the area?" ”

The shopkeeper Qin arched his hand and said: "About thirty zhang square!" ”

"About thirty zhang square?" Liu Yunting nodded, and asked again, "Thirty zhang square, but only a hundred feet,...... Is there a courtyard in that shop? ”

"None! It is a storefront on the street, out of the main street, the location is superb. Shopkeeper Qin said.

"A hundred feet square, there is no courtyard, except for the back kitchen, but eighty or ninety square feet, if it is a restaurant, it will not exceed ten tables, right?" Liu Yunting's tone was suddenly serious, "Such a restaurant has no characteristics, there are all streets and alleys, and guests come to eat bowls of noodles to ask for a bun, ranging from a few to more than a dozen yuan; Half a catty of beef, more than ten to twenty wen; Half a catty of soju thirty or fifty wen; A table can count at most ninety cents. Even if all ten tables were filled, it would only be 900 yuan. Calculated in a month, it is at most thirty taels, and a year is three hundred and sixty taels. ”

"......" Yurui was shocked.

He...... How is this calculated?

Liu Yunting said again, "In addition to the labor costs and material costs, the restaurant also has various government expenses, and the benefits of street stewards, and it is good to earn two hundred taels a year." What's more, it's still a suburb, and there are not a few people, so you may not be able to earn these! Two thousand taels of silver, you have to endure hardships and suffer for ten years. Shopkeeper Qin, you said, is this business worth it? ”

He was an understatement.

Yu Rui was stunned,...... Obediently, my brother's actuarial calculation, I don't move the abacus, I read it silently in my heart, and I can do it easily, it's really powerful!

Shopkeeper Qin was even more surprised, he thought that he was young and inexperienced, and he would definitely not settle accounts.

Shopkeeper Qin was a little embarrassed, and a little bead of sweat oozed from his forehead, "Mr. Liu is right!" The restaurants are all run on a small budget, which is hard! ”

"Small business?" Liu Yunting took a sip of tea, and his eyes flashed, "Shopkeeper Qin, it stands to reason that if you want to talk about small business, set up a small stall on the bustling ground in the city and set up a small stall on the street to do some small business, and you have an income of about dozens of dollars a day, why do you spend two thousand taels to get a shop?" That's a lot of money! ”

"Yes,...... shopkeeper Qin wiped his sweat, "Little Lao'er set the price too outrageous!" ”

"It's okay," Liu Yunting said, "Since it's a discussion, you can say it at will." Can you tell us about the shops in the city, what are the conditions? ”

Shopkeeper Qin nodded, "The shops on the main street in the city are in a good location, the upper and lower two floors cover an area of thousands of zhang, and the independent courtyard is a world of its own,......."

"If you want me to say," Liu Yunting stretched out his hand to stop the shopkeeper Qin, "look at the buyer's silver feet,...... The upper and lower two floors cover an area of 1,000 zhang, of course, it is supported by a prosperous business for many years, with customers and connections,...... In addition to wars, plagues and other disasters, of course, they can be used to do it directly! ”

"Okay, good ha......"

Everyone applauded.

Needless to say, everyone was already convinced by his debate.

"Mr. Liu, please take care of me in the future!" Shopkeeper Qin waited for him to get up, and bowed to him in unison.

"Everyone, please get up quickly," Liu Yunting hurriedly returned the salute, "We will work together in the future, I am young, please give me more advice!" ”

He was quite modest, and everyone was even more satisfied, "You accept!" ”

Everyone in Xirui Hall accepted Liu Yunting, and Yurui was a lot more relaxed. These people call each other brothers, lively and lively, and Yurui has become an outsider.

"Girl, Gongzi Xie is here," Yan Hong hurriedly walked in, "He is in a hurry to see you, saying that he has something important?" ”

"Gongzi Xie? ......" Yu Rui was stunned, "Xie Lingke?" ”

"Yes!"

Yurui felt uneasy for a while: Xie Lingke came, what is the matter?
