Chapter 40: Personally Inspected
Mrs. Zhen's birthday is coming soon, and according to the practice of previous years, she has to buy a new outfit. This is also one of the few times that Master Zhen expresses his love for his wife throughout the year.
Zhen Cheng inquired about the famous silk cloth village in the capital, and the subordinates recommended Mao Changlong in the East City and Rui Desheng in the West City to him. Zhen Cheng left Guozijian early and went straight to Dongshi.
Zhen's family lives near the West Market, and Zhen Cheng feels that if his son wants to do anything related to the silk business, it will not be possible to be in the West Market, which is so close to home, so he is most likely to be active in the East Market.
Zhen Cheng told the servant who led the horse that this was a birthday gift for the old lady, so no one could tell where he had gone and what store he had entered in the past few days, otherwise there would be no surprise.
Naturally, the servant did not dare to have other ideas.
Zhen Cheng did not go directly to Maochanglong, but walked slowly along the most lively street in Dongshi. In my heart, I was thinking about the most prosperous street in the capital, and there were many shops doing business.
He casually entered a silk shop, and was greeted warmly by a young man.
Zhen Cheng not only asked him about the price and quality of the fabric, but also asked him where the silk was purchased from, and how many people were there in the store.
After coming out of the silk cloth village, Zhen Cheng also entered the fat powder shop, jewelry store, shoe store, etc., and later he had to go in to see the shop.
In this way, Zhen Cheng watched it for a day, but he didn't buy anything. The servant followed him and did not dare to say much.
After lunch the next day, Master Zhen came to Dongshi again, and he finally walked into Maochanglong. The decoration of the shop is very elegant, and the fabrics of various colors are dizzying, and it is worthy of being the largest silk cloth village in Beijing. But even so, there was only one guy and one shopkeeper in the store. Seeing someone coming, the guy stepped forward to receive him very politely. The shopkeeper also said, "Welcome!"
Zhen Cheng secretly compared the differences and characteristics between the silk cloth shop and Mao Changlong in his heart. After asking the same question, he turned around and walked out again.
Looking at his departing figure, Xu Kun, the shopkeeper sitting at the counter, muttered in an inaudible voice: "Zhen Cheng? Zhen Haoxing's father? It looks like it's going to be a little faster. ”
Zhen Cheng naturally couldn't know Xu Kun, and it was impossible to know his plans. He was still walking forward, into various shops.
When he saw the words "Maochang Building" and the paint on the door was still new, he had a premonition in his heart and hurriedly walked in.
There were three people in the store! Two banners hang on the wall of the shop:
Wealth is hard to trust than trust
It is better to be cunning than to be honest.
There is only the year of the payment, and there is no name and font number.
Oh? This store is based on integrity. Zhen Cheng's face looked a little better. ---- Jiangping, the youngest guy in the store, stepped forward ---- and asked him, "What does Mr. need?" New deals for small shops. ”
Zhen Cheng asked, "What about your boss?"
The guy pointed to the thin young man---- Wang Qingbao ---- and said, "That is."
Zhen Cheng asked the shopkeeper the questions he often asked these days. Wang Qingbao replied briefly.
Zhen Cheng stared at the shopkeeper Wang Qingbao for a while, and suddenly asked, "What about you Boss Zhen?"
Wang Qingbao smiled slightly---- someone told him Zhen Haoxing's information before he came---- he knew that this was Zhen Haoxing's father, so he decided to deal with it in a low-key manner: "Sir, my surname is Wang, and I am the owner of this shop."
Zhen Cheng snorted lightly and did not speak again.
Zhen Cheng took a look at the interior of the silk cloth village, although the area is not as large as that of Mao Changlong, the goods are so complete, and the patterns of the silk and satin cloth are not so much, but some patterns are not available in other stores, and they can be regarded as having their own characteristics.
Out of Maochang Building, Zhen Cheng immediately went home. When he entered the door, he instructed the porter: "As soon as the eldest young master comes back, call him to come to the study."
Zhen Haoxing has been more diligent in going to the Ministry of Industry recently. After all, there are so many new indemnities, and all the yamen are busy, and he also takes this opportunity to learn more about the news, as long as there is a complaint, someone will say all kinds of revelations,---- and tell what he knows but others don't know, and he can get a little satisfaction in showing off himself.
Coming out of the Ministry of Works, he walked to Dongshi. From a distance, he saw that his father's servant leading the horse was actually waiting outside the door of Maochang Building, and he hurriedly entered a restaurant to hide.
It wasn't long before my father came out of the shop and rode on his horse on the way home.
Haoxing was afraid that his father would go and return, so he waited for a while before entering the store.
After listening to Wang Qingbao's description, Haoxing didn't know if it was the feeling of a knife on his neck, his father must know something, but how did he know? Who leaked the secret? Who leaked the rumors?
He didn't come home until late, but he didn't expect his father to wait in the study all the time.
Well, it seems that this knife is inevitable.
Zhen Haoxing knocked on the door and entered his father's study. In the dim light, my father was already showing his old age of more than half a hundred years. Haoxing's heart tightened.
When his father saw him, he said, "Sit down."
Haoxing only dared to sit on half a stool.
My father said calmly: "Three hundred and sixty lines, why do you want to do a silk business?"
Haoxing said: "You can make money, and you can get something when you need to give it away at home."
My father asked, "How many restaurants, fat powder shops, and silk cloth are there on Dongshi Street?" Do you know? ”
Haoxing was speechless.
"The most profitable should be the cooking restaurant." My father said, "It's not that the silk village is bad, it's just ...... Except for weddings and funerals, few people buy cloth in normal times. And the people eat for their day, and they have to eat every day. How did you come up with the idea of silk? ”
You can't take the restaurant with you, Dad!
Haoxing had no choice but to say: "To open a restaurant, you need a good cook, and word of mouth is also very important." I can't run my own shop without cooking, I don't like that. ”
"So how do you open a store now? How much do you know about silk? Zhen Cheng asked rhetorically.
"You can ask someone to bring it with you first, and teach it." Haoxing found it really difficult to lie.
"Like that Boss Wang?"
"Huh? Which Boss Wang? "I have to pretend I don't know.
"Oh, you don't know." Zhen Cheng was not in a hurry to expose it, and asked: "Where does the capital for opening a store come from?"
"It's enough to save a little for yourself and borrow a little from a friend." This is a long-thought statement, and it finally comes in handy.
"What friend? So generous? Will you lend you money to do a loss-making business? ”
"Dad, you have 10,000 hearts in this matter, I don't steal or rob, the money is clean."
"That's how you want to do this loss-making business?"
"Why do you think I'm going to lose money in business?"
"It's like throwing a man who has never been down a river into a river all of a sudden, do you think he'll be able to learn to swim right away?"
"Dad, why can't you trust me?"
"Son! Why can't you trust me? ”
"Daddy?" Haoxing was asked.
"If I don't ask you today, how long are you going to hide it from me?" Zhen Cheng finally had a showdown with his son.
