Chapter 42: Heaven and Earth (I)
"You only have an empty shell left here, and after taking over your place, I will not only be responsible for all of you for a year's food, but also decoration, and the cost of training you is very large." Wang Zhong said lightly: "In this way, I will give you eight hundred taels of silver." ”
"Eight hundred." This price is a little lower than Aju's psychological expectations, so she wants to fight for it, "Shopkeeper Wang, can you add a little more." ”
"Huh!"
Wang Zhong glanced at her, "Just your place, if it weren't for the proximity to my hot pot restaurant, blocking me from doing business, you think I would be rare?" ”
"This ......"
"If it weren't for me, who would have taken over your? Have you ever calculated that I pay for a year's food for more than 20 of you? Have you ever calculated how much money is spent on decoration? In the end, have you calculated that once the business here is good, you will be given four taels of silver every month, do you have this salary outside? If you don't know how to settle this account, then forget it, I have a good place to cooperate. ”
After speaking, Wang got up and flicked his sleeves, "If you don't want to, forget it." ”
This king's shopkeeper is too difficult to speak.
Ah Ju was anxious all of a sudden, in fact, what Wang Chong just said was right, although the silver in this store was less, but you must know that this store is loss-making, if it is not sold to Wang Chong, she will have to bear her own expenses every month, once she loses and can't hold on, I'm afraid no one will even ask for five hundred taels.
Not to mention that she has so many good sisters here who rely on her to eat.
"Shopkeeper Wang, that's what I said, don't be angry." Ah Ju hurriedly got up, and almost knelt down with a humble attitude.
"One last question, how is it?" Wang Chong said flatly.
"Agreed, it's all up to the shopkeeper, I just hope that the shopkeeper can pity my sisters, these sisters are all from poor families, but whoever has a way, who wants to do this."
It can be seen here that although this Ah Ju is an old bustard, it is different from the previous Zhuo Fu.
Zhuo Fukai's kind of place relies on forcing goodness, and the women recruited by Aju are all voluntary.
A few days later, the neighbors found out that the old Yingchun Building, which had been open for decades, was closed.
It must have gone out of business!
There are rumors around them, after all, everyone sees the business in Yingchun Building, and it is a matter of time before it goes bankrupt, but I don't know where those women have gone after the closure.
However, it didn't take long for many people to find that many craftsmen went in the Yingchun Building every day during the day, and these people moved out some of the old things that were dismantled inside under the command of several old craftsmen, and then there was often a sound of 'ping pong' beating inside.
This is engaged in decoration. Everybody got it.
Soon, it was rumored that there was a rich man who took down here, and the former proprietress Ah Ju and her sisters were gone, and it was rumored that they had found an honest man to marry.
"This rich man must be a fool."
In the small fish hot pot restaurant opposite, some diners pointed to the old Yingchun Building signboard opposite and said: "The business in this place is so bad, someone will take down here, there is really no place to spend too much silver." ”
"But isn't it, I went to Yingchun Tower at the beginning of this year, and it really can't be compared with the flower boats by the river, and the grade is too low."
"Look, it won't be long before the rich man will regret it, and he will lose money every day when the time comes." The diner smiled disdainfully, and put a few slices of mutton into the hot pot: "Come on, come on, I'll treat you today, Brother Sun, Brother Zhao, you're welcome, this mutton shabu is dipped in some seasoning, and it tastes better." ”
Listening to the diners' comments on the Spring Festival Building, Yalan, who was settling accounts on the counter, didn't listen to the taste.
Out of the consideration of reputation, Wang Chong didn't let Ah Ju tell him about the Yingchun Tower, and now listening to the diners say this, Yalan is also worried, for fear that he will lose money when the time comes.
Guo Yueluo, who was on the side, was not worried, and muttered softly: "Sister Yalan, you listen to what those people say, you don't understand anything, and you still think that our Xiang Guild is so stupid like them and makes a loss." ”
"Moonset, do you believe that our husband can succeed?"
"Of course it will work, I grew up with Xianggong since I was a child, and I haven't seen him fail in anything." Guo Yueluo said arrogantly.
Yalan smiled dotingly, "Well, although we can't help Xianggong at this point, managing the three restaurants for him is the greatest support for him." ”
"Yes, yes."
While the two women were chatting, Ah Ju and those women were all arranged by Wang Zhong to the backyard of the second hot pot restaurant.
This hot pot restaurant is the one with the worst business in his business, but it is better in the backyard, with more than a dozen large and small rooms, which was originally used as an inn, and now the inn is temporarily closed, so it is for these people to live.
"The king's shopkeeper is good."
Early in the morning of this day, Wang Chong came here, and Ah Ju hurriedly took the women to salute like Wang Chong.
Wang Chong said expressionlessly: "These days, do you live well and eat well?" ”
A group of women nodded hurriedly and chattered: "It's good to eat, there is meat to eat every day." ”
"yes, yes, the hot pot is delicious."
"The rice here is so soft, I think of the days when we used to drink porridge every day, I feel too unpalatable."
Wang Zhong listened to them expressionlessly, but fortunately, Ah Ju's eyes were strong, and he shouted: "Okay, shut up, you have such a good day, it's not for the king's shopkeeper to give you, thank you, thank you to the king's shopkeeper." ”
Only then did a group of women react and thanked them in unison.
"Since everyone is quite satisfied, then I will say that your responsibilities will be next, everyone will listen to me, how to make business better in the future."
"First of all, we must understand the psychological needs of guests in places like yours, what needs are they, that is, the grade, that is the high-end."
"For example, it used to be called Yingchun Tower, this name is too vulgar, and it will be called Heaven and Earth in the future, this name is not only elegant, but also when you hear it, this name has a fairy spirit, which seems high-end, atmospheric, those literati and ink writers, isn't it a good mouthful?"
Ah Ju nodded again and again: "Heaven and earth, this name is good." ”
Wang Chong continued: "It's not enough to change your name, you have to learn to dress and match, you look at you one by one, you don't comb your head in the morning, and you, your teeth are so yellow, the guests have no appetite when they see you." ”
"Shopkeeper Wang, we want not to work anyway, so my sisters are too lazy to take care of it." Ah Ju defended them.
"That's your reason? Remember, unless you go to bed when it's dark, dress me up for the day. ”
