Chapter 93: Buying and Selling at a Loss
Sheng Saburo misunderstood the meaning of the red bean, looked at Luo Sheng and frowned, "Cousin, it's not okay to buy and sell by force?" β
My cousin laughed a few words when she saw the handsome Langjun, and to be honest, there is nothing to lose when you are a man. If only he were happy, as long as his cousin took care of the food.
But forcing someone to buy a shop may cut off people's livelihoods, and they can't get by on conscience.
"Forced to buy and sell?" Luo Sheng smiled faintly, "Don't worry, cousin, I won't force you to buy and sell." β
Sheng Saburo didn't understand, "What if people don't sell it?" β
Luo Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then try it." β
She said goodbye and walked towards the fat powder shop.
"Cousin, wait." Sheng Saburo hurriedly caught up.
As Sheng Saburo said, the business of this fat powder shop is okay, although it can't reach the point where customers are coming, but there are a few customers in the store who are choosing rouge gouache.
As soon as Luo Sheng entered the door, the store was quiet.
The shop is located in a place where the nobles gather, and it is also the business of these people, and the customers in the store naturally recognize Luo Sheng.
How did Miss Luo get here?
Could it be that Hua Xiangrong has a new high-grade rouge gouache that has attracted the famous Luo girl?
No, they're all old customers, can you not know if you really want to release a new product?
There are two very famous fat powder shops in Xicheng, and this shop is not a good name, so Miss Luo has only set foot once in the past and never came again. But those who can do business here are human spirits, and all the distinguished guests who have come to the door do not need to do it if they can't recognize it next time.
The female shopkeeper who was very eye-catching greeted her in person, with a smile on her face, "Miss Luo, please." β
Luo Sheng bowed slightly, raised his feet and walked inward.
On the side, Kou'er said, "Our girl wants to pick up some rouge gouache, and the shopkeeper will take us to the private room." β
Any high-grade shop will always prepare private rooms for distinguished guests, nothing more than a lot, and Hua Xiangrong is no exception.
The female shopkeeper did not have the slightest suspicion, and respectfully led Luo Sheng and the others into a room.
The incense in the house is faint, and the incense is good.
A clever female man offered fragrant tea, and silently stepped aside.
The female shopkeeper personally brought a tray and placed it on the table, and there were exquisite porcelain boxes in the shape of round cakes.
"These are the best rouges in our store, please take a look at Miss Luo."
Luo Sheng glanced at it casually and asked the female shopkeeper, "I don't know who the owner of your store is, I have a business to discuss." β
Talking about business?
The female shopkeeper was stunned for a moment.
"What, it's inconvenient for the shopkeeper to say?" Luo Sheng asked lightly.
The female shopkeeper was left with a dry smile.
Miss Luo, she didn't dare to offend, and it was inconvenient to say that it was true.
Those who do business in this realm have a history and are inextricably linked with the eunuchs and nobles.
Luo Sheng looked at the female shopkeeper and smiled: "The shopkeeper knows who I am, right?" β
"Of course you know, you're Miss Luo."
"What about my father?"
The female shopkeeper couldn't go on, and her face couldn't help but turn pale.
"If I ask my father, he will find out. Why should the shopkeeper do useless work and be unpleasing at both ends? β
The face of the female shopkeeper was already very ugly.
Luo Sheng's tone became more and more cold, "Okay, you can also ask your owner first, and just say that Miss Luo is looking for him to talk about business." Whether he is willing to come forward or not is his business, so why should the shopkeeper embarrass himself. β
The female shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Yes, she's just a shopkeeper, how can she mix with this. Miss Luo went to the owner to discuss business, and she sent someone to spread the news to the owner that it was the owner's business if the owner showed up or not.
The female shopkeeper summoned a fellow to whisper a few words, and the fellow immediately hurried away.
"Miss Luo, wait a minute."
Luo Sheng's head.
The female shopkeeper felt a lot of pressure inexplicably, and sneered, "Miss Luo, you can take a look at our rouge gouache." β
Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's embarrassing to stare at it so big.
"Don't look at it, just buy it all. Red Beanβ"
Hongdou immediately touched the purse on his waist, skillfully took out a silver ticket with two fingers, and handed it over: "Shopkeeper, is it enough?" β
The shopkeeper took the silver ticket with both hands, and was speechless.
Miss Luo is really the God of Wealth, should she buy this fat powder shop as the owner?
If so, she is willing to continue to be the shopkeeper!
Luo Sheng drank tea slowly, and after waiting for about half an hour, a mother-in-law came in a hurry.
When the mother-in-law saw Luo Sheng, she first said hello, and reported to herself, "The old slave is the companion of the second grandmother in Zhao Shangshu's house, and our second grandmother has invested some money in this shop, I don't know what business Miss Luo wants to discuss?" β
If it hadn't been for Miss Luo, this situation would not have been easily revealed to others. But who let Miss Luo's father be in charge of Jinlinwei, I really want to find out what I can't find.
Luo Sheng took a sip of tea and wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief.
It turned out that it was quietly opened by the second granddaughter-in-law of the criminal department Shangshu who she met in the Pingnan Palace.
She didn't know anything about the situation in Beijing, so she naturally wanted to know more, so when she went back that day, she casually asked about the general situation of Zhao Shangshu's family.
Zhao Shangshu has two sons, the two grandsons of the big house have married wives, and the grandsons of the second room are still young, so when they heard that this mother-in-law said that they were the second grandmother, they knew that they were Zhao Shangshu's second granddaughter-in-law.
"Can you call the shots?" Luo Sheng stared at her mother-in-law with a scrutinizing gaze and asked.
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "The second grandmother handed over the matter to the old slave, if it is really not good to be the master, please ask Miss Luo to bear with one or two, and let the old slave go to ask the second grandmother again." β
"I'm going to buy this shop."
The mother-in-law's face changed suddenly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Miss Luo spoke, she had to ask her master.
Although the profit of this shop is not much, it is better in the long run, and it is not easy to open up the situation in this realm, and the second grandmother is willing to let go.
"Ten thousand taels."
The mother-in-law's face changed again, and her legs were weak and she almost knelt.
Even if this place is prosperous and the shop has a stable source of customers, it is really worth three thousand taels of silver at most.
10,000 taels - this, is this going to take money and stone people to death?
"How?" Luo Sheng's expression was determined, waiting for his mother-in-law's reply.
The mother-in-law's thousand words turned into one word: "Sell!" β
Earn an extra seven thousand taels for nothing, and she can make a decision without asking the second grandmother.
You must know that such a fat powder shop only makes a profit of 40 taels a month, and how many years will it take to make 7,000 taels.
If this deal is yellow, the second grandmother will have to kill her.
"Since you are willing to sell, it is better to choose a day, invite the tooth man to write the paper contract, and go through the procedures for the shop to change owners."
The mother-in-law's thousand words turned into one word again: "Cheng!" β
It's just a small half of the day's work, and the deed of the shop has been taken into the arms of the red bean.
Out of the door of the rouge shop, Hongdou smiled and said, "Cousin, the maid is not wrong, there is nothing that our girl fancies that cannot be bought." β
And Sheng Saburo's mood was a little heavy.
He accidentally heard the female shopkeeper muttering, saying that this shop was worth up to three thousand taels on the market, but his cousin bought it for ten thousand taels.
The young man asked worriedly, "Cousin, you won't pay all the dowry in this business, will you?" β
