Chapter 509: Big Business
Bai Tiesheng probably didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, but when he walked to the door, Chen Youyi immediately agreed, and he saved trouble this time.
Because I came to see the house today, the boss here also came, but Chen Youyi didn't plan to negotiate the price in person, so Bai Tiesheng stayed in this small faΓ§ade and negotiated the price of rent with the owner of the house.
On the way here, Bai Tiesheng talked about the rent of the house here almost with Chen Youyi, Chen Youyi said a general range and told Bai Tiesheng that as long as it was within this range, she could accept it, but if it could be lower, it would be as low as possible.
Bai Tiesheng is also a proper person, and he understands what Chen Youyi means, so he also pays special attention when negotiating rent.
I really want to hear Bai Tiesheng's reply one night, mentioning the rent, this price is low within the price range that Chen Youyi can recognize, not only praised Bai Tiesheng, "Sure enough, it is appropriate for you to go out to do errands, the price can be pressed to this place, it is not easy, hard old housekeeper." β
"Do things for your wife, don't talk about hard work, in addition, our rent will start to be calculated tomorrow, and I have also paid the predetermined deposit, and the account room has been clearly remembered, but when will we open?"
This matter was also seriously considered by Chen Youyi after she came back this afternoon, she did not answer Bai Tiesheng immediately, but thought for a while and said, "You go back first, I'll think about it again, I'll talk to you in detail when you come early tomorrow morning." β
Bai Tiesheng nodded and left here to return to his home, and Chen Youyi called Mo Xincheng over after dinner.
"You get up early tomorrow morning, accompany me to the bazaar, and then go to our small tavern to have a look, because there was a boss who opened a shop there before, and there are probably not many places that need to be renovated, but some places also need to be modified, and you can also help me come up with ideas."
Mo Xincheng nodded, "Does Madam have any other orders?" β
"In addition, help me check the accounts of Wangjiang Town, whether it is Wangjiang Restaurant or Wangjiang Wharf, check the account books carefully, and don't you suspect Li Yannuo of using public funds last time? How's it going? β
At the mention of this, Mo Xincheng was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Chen Youyi had forgotten about this matter, but he didn't expect that after so long, he suddenly mentioned it again, and he still didn't know how to answer.
"This ......"
"What? Didn't find out? Or are you afraid to tell me if you find out? β
"Not really." Mo Xincheng hurriedly said, "If it is really found out, I will definitely tell Madame, but I checked, although there are some places where he did steal some silver, but the amount is not very large, not what I imagined." β
Chen Youyi sighed, "If that's really the case, then you said that he also embezzled some silver, how should this matter be handled?" β
"I think this matter should be partially accepted, and I would like to remind you of it."
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say, we can warn him and let him pay attention to himself and restrain himself in this regard, but after all, we are in the capital, and he manages your business in Wangjiang Town, which is far away, just if the silver he secretly swallows is for his benefits, but he can't let him steal too much, otherwise it is easy to become a habitual offender, if one day he is really insatiable and starts to take more and more, it will be difficult to control."
Chen Youyi thought about this matter, and he had always taken it to heart before, and the last time he looked back at Jiangzhen, he also talked to Li Yan alone, and he understood what he meant when he saw Li Yan's appearance, and he knew many things himself.
Now that I have listened to Mo Xincheng's remarks, Chen Youyi has made up her mind, "I think, what you said is also right but not completely right, if we turn a blind eye and pass it like this, it is likely to condone him, but if we manage it too much, we may lose Li Yan, although it is not right for him to embezzle the silver, but Li Yan's ability is still obvious to all, we need him to help us take care of the business over there, if there is no suitable person to take over, we still have to let him continue to manage." β
"Don't worry, I will check the accounts over there more strictly, and if there is really any mistake, I will tell Madame as soon as possible."
Chen Youyi wanted to hear this sentence, she nodded, "Okay, then you go back quickly, come over early tomorrow morning, let's go to the market first." β
Mo Xincheng then turned around and left.
Early in the morning of the second day, the first person to come to Chen Youyi's place was Bai Tiesheng, because Chen Youyi told Bai Tiesheng yesterday that he would come over this morning to deal with some things.
And Chen Youyi planned to go to the market first in the morning, so when he saw Bai Tiesheng, he sent him to the tavern, "You go to the tavern to have a look, take a closer look inside and out, and talk about any decoration suggestions, and you can also help you think about the name of the tavern, we will go over at noon, and we will discuss it while looking at it there." β
"Xingle." Bai Tiesheng retreated after agreeing, while Mo Xincheng came in from outside, and the two of them walked to meet, just nodded silently and said hello.
"Madam, the carriage is ready, which market are we going to?" There are several markets in the capital, large and small, some far and near, and many of the markets are dedicated to several things, that is, special markets, and Chen Youyi's favorite is to visit this kind of market.
She smiled and said, "Let's go to the cloth market." β
Hearing this, Mo Xincheng couldn't help frowning, "Cloth market? Why go to the cloth market? β
"What's the matter, do you just remember that we have a dock, and a restaurant forget that we also have a tailor shop?"
Mo Xincheng was stunned for a moment, he really almost forgot about the business of the tailor shop, this tailor shop is not very big, although there are two stores, one is for ordinary people to wear, and the other is for officials and nobles, many of the styles of clothes are designed by Chen Youyi himself.
Since Chen Youyi and her family settled in the capital, the business of the tailor shop has slowly dropped somewhat, because Chen Youyi has hired a few designers before, and those designers will bring a few samples every month for Chen Youyi to see, and if they are adopted, they will keep the samples and pay for them.
Those designers are good, I don't see anyone on weekdays, but at the end of the month, I will come to Chen Youyi with the painted samples, and Chen Youyi will choose a few styles and put them new in the tailor shop.
The business of the tailor shop cannot be said to be good but it cannot be said to be bad, it has made some profits, but it has not been very big, it is rare that Chen Youyi will think of the business of the tailor shop this time.
