Chapter 396: Stealing the Limelight
"Okay, then we're going to have to pay a visit."
The people who can come to the banquet today are not ordinary people, they all have identities in the family, and some of them are aimed at His Royal Highness King Rong, even the Xin family dare not offend, just like this Li Zhenzhen.
Although this Li Zhenzhen's father is Li Yuanwai, his family background is very thick, and he is also inextricably linked with the DPRK and China, and Li Zhenzhen's grandfather is Master Taifu, and there are countless disciples.
Although Li Zhenzhen's grandfather is no longer there, the connections are still there, even the Xin family definitely needs to tie up with the Li family.
Xin Yue looked at Chi Yue, who was surrounded by people, and glanced at Chi Yue resentfully, today's banquet, she is the master here, she is dressed brightly, she originally wanted to dominate the crowd, but now it is cheaper Chi Yue.
Chi Yue attracted everyone's attention, like the host of the banquet, and was complimented by everyone.
Hou Xinxin glanced at Xin Yue and chuckled.
"Xin Yue, this Chi Yue is not simple, you look at how long it has been, and you have won over the hearts of these people, you are the master of the banquet, and the limelight has been stolen."
Xin Yue snorted coldly.
"This Chi Yue, it's really not simple, it doesn't look like there's any scheming, in fact! I don't know how deep, in such a short period of time, I have gathered the hearts of so many people, and even Li Zhenzhen is good friends with Chi Yue. ”
Hou Xinxin didn't expect that such an arrogant person as Li Zhenzhen would actually talk to a peasant girl.
Chi Yue's identity, although they didn't say much, but His Royal Highness King Rong came to Jiangnan, it was a big thing, and Chi Yue, who was with His Royal Highness King Rong, naturally became the object of everyone's attention.
And Chi Yue's identity naturally can't be hidden.
Li Zhenzhen is a woman outside Li Yuan, and her grandfather is a grandfather, and she is very arrogant, but now she is willing to take the initiative to talk to Chi Yue, which is really an unbelievable thing.
Chi Yue didn't know what Xin Yue and Hou Xinxin were thinking, but compared to Xin Yue and Hou Xinxin's depression, she was extremely happy now, today's banquet, so many people came to promote her store, these are all potential customers!
It was as if Chi Yue had seen a large sum of silver coming down from the sky!
After the banquet, Chi Yue went to the store, yesterday the contract has been signed, and the money has been given to the shopkeeper, and today I came here, and Chi Yue came to accept the store.
The shopkeeper's family had already put the things on the carriage, and when they saw Chi Yue coming, they directly handed it to Chi Yue.
"In the future, these shops will be yours, my father will open the shop here, but I don't have the ability, not the material for business, now I will hand over the shop to you, I hope you can run it well."
Chi Yue nodded and said with a smile.
"I will."
"It's just, I want to ask, is the shop closed here for sale?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately glanced at Chi Yue up and down.
"The shops that are closed here, they are all wanted, the lot here is deserted, there is no one at all, you buy so many shops, if you can't earn it back, what can you do!"
Chi Yue chuckled.
"It's okay, you can make it again anyway when the money is gone."
The shopkeeper Chi Yue was very firm, and then slowly spoke, the shops on this street are no longer profitable, if you want to buy them, you can ask, these shops are the property of the Hou family.
The Hou family?
Chi Yue knew that the governor's surname was Hou, but looking at the shopkeeper's look, it didn't seem to be the governor's shop.
"Which Hou family."
The shopkeeper whispered.
"It's the nephew of the governor, known as the third master."
Hou San?
Isn't that the Hou San who Chi Yue offended when he bought Ning An?
Chi Yue really felt that the road was narrow.
However, after Chi Yue was Hou San's shop, he stopped thinking in his heart, and the other party might have to trouble himself.
Chi Yue didn't want to close the shop, but the silk shop opposite, Chi Yue liked it very much, and the female shopkeeper at the door looked at Chi Yue's gaze and said with a smile.
"This young lady, I heard that you bought the grain store here, the business here is not good, and if you buy it, it will definitely be a loss-making business."
"Look at my silk shop, now it's just beyond its means, and if you want to sell it, no one will buy it!"
When Chi Yue heard this, a touch of joy suddenly surged in her heart, but her face was calm.
"Are these shops yours?"
The female shopkeeper nodded, thinking that everyone would be neighbors in the future, and besides, there was nothing to hide.
"That's right! These shops are all mine, handed down by our ancestors, and now, the business is getting worse and worse, but it's a pity that I have these fine fabrics. ”
Chi Yue's eyes fell on the so-called good fabrics of the female shopkeeper, the fabrics were not bad, but the color looked a little heavy, too deep for a girl, and not stable enough for a woman, in short, looking at the market, it was not easy to sell.
Maybe it's because no one comes, so there are two guys in the shop, and it seems that they are still from their own family.
Maybe there is no business, so the shop is very cold, there are five or six shops on a street, and there are actually three people in charge.
"Are all these fabrics dyed by yourself?"
The shopkeeper nodded.
"Yes, these are the fabrics that we weave ourselves, and the colors are dyed by ourselves."
Chi Yue nodded and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, if you really want to sell these shops, I can buy them and do the silk business."
When the female shopkeeper heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"You're kidding me! There is no business on this street, you have bought the three shops opposite, and now you want to buy my shop? “
Chi Yue smiled and nodded.
"No kidding, I bought the shop here, not only to do a silk business, but also to buy materials from the hands of the shopkeeper."
The female shopkeeper looked at Chi Yue suspiciously, and still asked in disbelief.
"What you say is true? You didn't lie to me! ”
Chi Yue knew that the female shopkeeper didn't believe it, so she spoke immediately.
"Your shop here has been sold, how much silver are you going to sell?"
Although the female shopkeeper has always wanted to sell her shop, no one has been willing to buy it, and Chi Yue is suddenly willing to buy it, but this matter is still too sudden, and the female shopkeeper can't come back to her senses for a moment.
Will Chi Yue ask for the price, think about it, and quote a price.
"Two hundred thousand taels."
However, there are two more shops, but there are 100,000 taels of silver, which is a lot.
The female shopkeeper didn't open her mouth, thinking that Chi Yue felt that the price she wanted was too high, so she bit her lip and slowly spoke.
"The location of my shop here is very good, I can give you all the silk in the shop, but the price cannot be less."
"Actually, I can't help it, but if I can continue to do it, I won't sell the shop here, you know I have my own weaving mill, I not only sell in my own shop, I will also sell these fabrics to others."
"But some time ago, there was a problem with our fabric, and we had to pay each other 200,000 taels according to the agreement, and I had no choice but to sell the shop."
Hearing this, Chi Yue nodded.
"Okay, according to what I just said, the silk in the shop is mine, and I want all these shops."
The female shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and she agreed to Chi Yue, and hurriedly spoke.
"And when are we going to hand over the shop?"
Chi Yue was in such a hurry that he knew that the other party was really anxious to ask for money.
"When it's convenient for the shopkeeper, I can do it anytime, and I can do it now."
The female shopkeeper smiled when she heard this.
"I know your name is Chi Yue, my name is Shen Ruyan, if you don't dislike it, just call me Sister Ruyan."
Chi Yue replied with kindness.
"Sister Ruyan."
The smile on Shen Ruyan's face was uncontrollable, she was wearing a brocade striped jacket with a skirt of the same color underneath, and a neat bun on her head, she knew that she was a cheerful person at a glance.
"Sister Chiyue, don't hide it, I'm really in a hurry to use the money, no one bought it before, I still want to sell the weaving mill, my weaving workshop, there are many people who like it."
"But the weaving mill is an ancestral inheritance, if I can, I still plan to keep it, otherwise, I will see the ancestors under Jiuquan in the future, and I will have no face."
"If we can, can we turn the shop around now?"
Chi Yue nodded.
"I can do it all, just have a request."
Shen Ruyan looked at Chi Yue, but couldn't help but think about it in her heart, could it be that Chi Yue wanted to mention some overlord clause?
Chi Yue didn't wait for Shen Ruyan to answer, and continued to open her mouth to speak.
"That is, if I open a shop here, in the future, in terms of silk, Sister Yan needs to provide it to me to ensure that the silk of my shop can continue to be supplied."
When Shen Ruyan heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she thought it was a requirement!
I didn't expect it to be such a request, but the business on this street is not good at all, it would be good to be able to do business once in a few days, and if you want fabric, it won't cost much, thinking of this, Shen Ruyan agreed neatly.
"There's no problem with that, how to say that you've also helped me a lot, what fabric you need in the future, just tell me."
Chi Yue smiled and nodded, the female shopkeeper asked the guy to call the notary over, and then signed the pledge, Chi Yue took out 200,000 taels of silver tickets, Shen Ruyan took it and took out the deed.
"In the future, these shops will be yours, the business here is not very good, but I hope you have other means of doing business, you can bring up the business here."
"Actually, in the past, the business here was still very good, but then the road was rebuilt in front, and everyone ran there to set up stalls, and then slowly the people here also moved the shops to the front, so this place was deserted all of a sudden, and no one came here to buy things, even if some people came to make clothes, it was just a drop in the bucket."
