Chapter 262: Selling
In order to sell it as soon as possible, Tang Mian offered a very low price, which attracted many suspicions.
I'm wondering what trouble I've been in lately?
Even if Tang Mian sold so many assets in a few days, he also sent so many people away.
Many familiar bosses came to ask Tang Mian what difficulties she encountered, and she gave them all over.
Then Tang Mian counted his assets again, which was indeed half less than before.
However, she had bought too many gold, silver and jade artifacts before, and each one was worth a fortune, and she didn't dare to sell these things in the imperial city, so she had to ask Tian Bo to contact his old acquaintance and help deal with it.
"Young master, the chewing incense business has been going well as usual recently, Miss Liu, they haven't met any bad people, and the little one doesn't know why Miss Liu sold so many assets and gold, silver and jade, and transferred the academy that invested so much silver money to the rest of the people!" Lin Zi is puzzled, these things that Miss Liu has done recently have caused many people to speculate.
However, there was also news that she was selling her belongings in order to settle the men and maids who had worked in their shop before and buy them each a house and land, so that she could not have enough money in her hand to sell her belongings.
Gong Weishu has known Tang Mian for so long, so he can naturally find out what he is thinking.
If his inference is correct, Mian is worried about the emperor's previous holy decree.
Recently, I have heard a lot of rumors about the emperor and the prime minister in the DPRK and China, and he will use businessmen to do it than the emperor.
Now it is wise for Mian to do this, after all, the tree is very popular.
As long as she gets rid of the title of the richest woman in Tianqi Country, even if the emperor wants to make an example of her, he will not choose her.
"Good news, host, several of our inns have been bought. There is also news from the shrimp side, saying that they have arrived at their destination one after another, and they have arranged everyone according to your instructions and bought ten acres of land for each person......" Tian Bo said excitedly, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.
Now that there are so many shops, warehouses and inns all at once, the burden on their shoulders as shopkeepers is much lighter.
The ledger, which usually takes a whole day to read, has recently taken only two hours to read.
Tian Bo was in a good mood, but when he thought of the cooperation with Ruan Gongzi in the accounts, now that there are so many fewer people in their store, it is estimated that the dried sweet potatoes and fruit dan peels will not be delivered next month.
That's an order for a full 1 million silver, if you default now.
Double the amount of silver must be compensated, counting the delivery volume of the next month.
A total of 500,000 taels of silver, after calculating, they have to pay 1 million taels for this order.
He regretted it a little, if he had known that the owner had sent everyone away so quickly, he should have asked them to process more dried sweet potatoes and fruit dan peels, so that he could lose less.
"Uncle Tian, you go to write a post to inform Gongzi Ruan, and you will have a gathering at noon tomorrow. I will personally apologize to him, so that I can compensate him for the 1 million taels of silver. ”
At noon, Ruan Xing came to Koukouxiang with half a cup of tea in advance, and not long after sitting down, Tang Mian came to see him in person. You just go straight to the point and say that you want to terminate the deed signed before with him, and compensate the corresponding silver according to the above agreement.
"Boss Liu, you breached the contract in advance and compensated me so much money, do you want to leave the imperial city?" Ruan Xing asked calmly.
Tang Mian shook her head, she didn't plan to leave the imperial city, she was really afraid that the emperor would take her under the knife, so she sent the people around her to a safe place, so as not to cause an accident to everyone.
Ruan Xing saw through it, and saw Tang Mian push a box on the left hand side in front of him, looked down for a few seconds without thinking much about it, and sent the box back with his backhand.
"Young Master Ruan, what are you doing here? This silver is the liquidated damages that were agreed before, and if you refuse to accept it, we won't even have to be friends in the future. "Tang Mian doesn't like to owe favors to others, especially now.
"Boss Liu, I really treat you as a friend, so if you want to terminate the contract, you don't have to pay for the silver."
"No, you have to take the money." Tang Mian is also extremely stubborn.
She had a good impression of Ruan Xing and wanted to cooperate with him for a long time, but after all, they had only known each other for less than three months.
If someone knows that Ruan Xing will confiscate the liquidated damages today, it will be difficult to make a fuss about it at that time.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to accept the money.
In the end, Ruan Xing had no choice but to accept the money, and then personally sent Tang Mian away.
It wasn't until the carriage was far away that he instructed the little guy around him to investigate what the people around Tang Mian had been doing recently.
When Tang Mian went back, Tian Boying came up to tell her that he had called all the shopkeepers of each branch to Koukouxiang, and according to her instructions, he would compensate each person with 50,000 taels of silver.
As for the men and maids of those branches, each of them also gave a settling-in allowance of five thousand taels of silver.
From now on, only one of their shops in the Imperial City is Koukouxiang.
"Uncle Tian, I'm relieved to have you here!" Tang Mian breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that Tian Bo's ability was strong, but he didn't expect her to solve this matter so quickly.
"But the owner, now that people outside are saying that you owe a lot of money, you have to sell so many branches in the imperial city, do you want me to ask someone to let some wind out?"
"Don't, let them guess! Anyway, you don't know how much money I have, they like to say whatever they want. Tang Mian looked at the chewing incense she created single-handedly, and was full of emotion.
If it weren't for the fear of arousing suspicion, she would have wanted to close this mouthpiece.
"Tian Bo, is there still a drying factory in the eastern suburbs that has not been sold?" Tang Mian asked.
Tian Bo nodded, he had already followed the instructions of the owner, and put all the store, granaries, and grocery stores...... All of them have been sold, but the drying plant has not been able to sell them until now, so the price should be a little high.
"Uncle Tian, since you can't sell it, why don't you transfer it to your name?" Tang Mian proposed, Tian Bo hurriedly waved his hand, this is unacceptable, Tang Mian has been the shopkeeper for so many years, you have saved hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is enough for him to support his old age.
also found face, and he has no regrets for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Tian, just help me! It's useless to leave the drying field in my hands. I guess it won't be long before the emperor orders the merchants to donate silver. Now it's better to sell it at a low price and transfer it to your old man's name, and if I run out of money one day, you can transfer it to me. ”
Tang Mian was slowly seductive, and he also came to Tian Bo, revealing an expression that if you don't agree, I will cry to show you, which directly made Tian Bo a little crying and laughing.
In the end, I had to agree.
At night, Tang Mian took advantage of no one to disturb him, began to settle the accounts, and made it clear that his assets had directly reduced by two-thirds compared to before, and he was finally relieved.
But what she minded was the silver he lent to Boss Sun and a few of them on the books.
After thinking about it, at noon the next day, he asked someone to invite Zhao Yu and Boss Sun to the house, and specially told them to bring the IOU.
The two of them didn't pay attention, and they tore up all the IOUs they had grabbed.
