Chapter 212: Reminder
Xiao Changge was very sympathetic to Wei in this matter, and she saw that Wei's face was paralyzed and impatient, so she didn't say anything about this matter, and agreed with what Tang Moshu said.
"You did a good job this time, those people seem to be quite clever, but I need to trouble you in the future, I can't appear in the gambling house, and now there is another Chen Yi, it won't be good if she bumps into her."
Xiao Changge looked at Tang Moshu, as if he had entrusted his beloved woman to him, and even what he said was as if he was cutting her flesh.
Looking at Xiao Changge's appearance, Tang Moshu didn't know what to say, she was really a money slave, which eldest lady of this family should be the same as her? \t
"You mean let me take care of it?"
Tang Moshu pointed to himself and asked, Xiao Changge was a little surprised, Tang Moshu really became smart when it came to this kind of thing.
Seeing Xiao Changge nodded, Tang Moshu's eyes widened.
"Miss, this is your property!"
Tang Moshu said with a wary face, Xiao Changge was thinking about something else he didn't know, but in this matter, he knew what Xiao Changge was thinking in his heart.
"I can't swallow the whole alone, you are afraid of the Yan family in this aspect of the gambling house, so you don't dare to develop in this area, but the gambling house and the pawn shop are the most profitable, as a businessman, it is impossible to let go of such an opportunity."
As soon as she talked about these things, Xiao Changge's whole person became serious, and she was now talking about this matter with Tang Moshu very seriously.
This is a profiteering industry, otherwise Yan Li would not have taken the risk to develop in this area.
Tang Moshu couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw Xiao Changge frowning and contemplating, looking very serious.
"Miss, to put it bluntly, you still don't understand the way of our businessmen, some things can be swallowed, we will naturally swallow, but some things are really afraid that we will choke if we swallow them, although the gambling house is profitable, but we can't touch it, you are the daughter of General Xiao, the eldest lady of the famous family is not afraid, but we are just ordinary people."
Tang Moshu also said seriously, their Tang family is the identity of the dynasty merchants, although it is more difficult to say, but they are not qualified to fight with the officials, so they can only endure it.
Now Xiao Changge said this easily here, but because she had just entered the field of businessmen, she didn't understand the depth of the water at all.
They are just talking on paper now, if Xiao Changge meets them, they will know.
The road of doing business is not easy to follow, and if you take a wrong step, you will never recover.
Because the tribute to the imperial court must not be accidental, so many merchants were persuaded to retire in this regard, and only his father resolutely accepted this condition that there is today's Tang family.
He hadn't seen the intrigues in the palace with his own eyes, but he had heard a lot, especially in terms of food, so every time he paid tribute to something in the palace, he had to personally see it before he could rest assured.
"You said it, but I never thought I was a big lady, and if something happened to me, the people in the house would be the happiest."
Xiao Changge frowned, she was just starting out, and her experience in this area was by no means as good as Tang Moshu.
Looking at Tang Moshu's serious appearance, she knew that it was the right choice to find him in the first place.
"Young Master Tang, teach me to do business."
Xiao Changge raised his head and looked at Tang Moshu firmly word by word.
Tang Moshu was choked by these words, Xiao Changge gave him a lot of fright today.
But looking at Xiao Changge's serious expression, Tang Moshu was a little bad even if he wanted to refuse.
He remembered that Xiao Changge's mother seemed to be born in Chaoshang, and he had heard her mother's name in the mouth of the old man in his family, she was a very capable woman, and even his father was willing to bow down.
So when he talked about Xiao Changge at that time, his father agreed.
That woman was a lowly and lowly courtier in the eyes of those officials, but in the eyes of those who were doing business, she was a powerful woman.
As for how powerful the woman was, his younger generation didn't know, and the old man of his family didn't want to say a word.
"This I will also fur, this and this ......"
Being a little embarrassed by Xiao Changge's eyes, Tang Moshu scratched his head and coughed twice, and the topic they discussed was a little more serious.
"The fur is better than mine, who doesn't know anything, and Young Master Tang also bothered to tell me about this business."
She had been ignoring this point before, thinking that it would be good to open the store, but today she heard Tang Moshu say that she realized how inadequate she was.
Xiao Changge's serious expression reminded Tang Moshu of what he had said to his father before, he was also so serious, although he was a little successful now, he was nothing compared to his father, and he had many shortcomings.
And at that time, when he begged his father to teach him to do business, he was also so serious, and he could see that Xiao Changge was not joking.
"Now there are businessmen from all walks of life, and the most profitable of them is not gambling houses or pawns, but money houses and salt."
Tang Moshu said seriously, and Xiao Changge also listened carefully, as if a gentleman was teaching his disciples.
Seeing that Xiao Changge was listening to him silently and carefully, he also continued to speak.
I don't know how long it took, and even when the sky was slightly dark, Xiao Changge didn't notice it, but she listened to these things with relish.
She hadn't seen her mother since she was born, and her mother died shortly after giving birth to her, so how could she remember when she was still a baby? Later, she also heard her mother's name from other people's mouths, but some of them were lowly and lowly courtiers......
Even the old lady despised the court, and even disliked her mother, and no one mentioned it since.
At this moment, listening to Tang Moshu's business methods, she admires her mother to the extreme, and the court's merchants are not humble or lowly.
"So now the salt industry is the most objective profit, especially fine salt, which is very popular in other countries, weak and profitable."
Tang Moshu took a sip of tea and said, he was talking about a dry mouth, but it felt good.
He has always been sprayed by his old man for not doing his job, and now he is telling people about businessmen here, and the other party is still Xiao Changge, how can he be unhappy?
"Young Master Tang, you seem to have missed one."
Xiao Changge looked up at Tang Moshu's complacent appearance and said, which made Tang Moshu puzzled.
"There's also a cloth shop."
These words made Tang Moshu sneer, he had just said so much, I was afraid that Xiao Changge hadn't understood it yet.
"You are wrong, the cloth shop is not a profitable industry, on the contrary, it may be a loss, now the cloth shop is too common, you walk to this street, you can see three or four cloth shops, and a few are not able to do resale."
Tang Moshu pointed to the street outside, and there was a cloth hall opposite the inn.
"Look at the other side, that one is the one with better business in the city, you see that he has few customers, and although those people go in, they don't buy it."
Xiao Changge followed Tang Moshu's line of sight, condescendingly watching the shopkeeper of the underground cloth shop soliciting business outside, touching his forehead with his sleeve, his face flushed from the sun.
But Xiao Changge was unmoved.
"It's Young Master Tang who is wrong, has Young Master Tang ever thought about losing money in the cloth business, but there are many reasons for this person?"
Xiao Changge asked like a dumb riddle, but Tang Moshu was confused by Xiao Changge's words.
"My eldest lady, I'm stupid, don't play dumb riddles with me, just say it."
The most annoying thing for him is to use his brain, and now Xiao Changge wants him to guess, how can he guess.
"There is a reason that people need to eat to live, we also need to wear clothes, especially girls, most of them like to wear new clothes, and the demand is great, so there are more people who open, and every year other countries pay tribute to Chu State There are more than 100,000 pieces of cloth and satin, and the concubines of this harem use these cloths to occupy about eighty percent."
Tang Moshu is a businessman, and others may not know the data she said, but Tang Mo said that it is impossible not to know what she means by this.
"You can trust this data?"
Obviously, he was also frightened by the stats.
There are more than 100,000, and the ladies in the harem account for 80 percent, which is indeed not a small number.
"Credible, the remaining twenty percent is given to the meritorious ministers, naturally these fabrics are not enough, so this cloth is in great demand, especially for those little girls, you said that the cloth shop opposite has few customers, but you know that he can earn at least a few hundred taels per moonlight for the expenses of our Xiao Mansion."
Xiao Changge analyzed that the clothes on her body were also made of the fabric in that shop.
"How do you know so well?"
Tang Moshu asked curiously, he pulled a lot of things into the palace every day, but he didn't know about them, and how did Xiao Changge know?
"No comment."
Xiao Changge spit out these words lightly, for the previous things, it was a secret that she couldn't say.
The one who was in charge of distributing these fabrics back then was she, the queen of the world, and she remembered every thing she sent to the palace, so how could she not know?
And the cloth that other countries paid tribute to Chu was also bought from merchants, so in this way, the cloth industry is actually worthy of it, and it is very stable.
"Speaking of which, my Tang family also has a fabric shop, but it is a perennial loss, and I wanted to close it and make it a restaurant and teahouse, but the old man in my family refused."
Maybe the old man of his family thought of this, so he still kept the cloth shop, but it has been a loss in the past few years, so he has not studied the fabric deeply.
"Maybe Master Tang also took this into account, those colors were too old and dark in the past, but now little girls like bright ones, Young Master Tang can consider this aspect."
Xiao Changge pointed, and Tang Moshu nodded.
Just now he was still complacent about teaching Xiao Changge, but he didn't expect that now it was Xiao Changge's turn to teach him.
"It's not too early, I should go back first, if you want Young Master Tang to help me more, what you said is right, I have no chance of winning against those officials, but that's my bet, if I lose, I will admit it."
Xiao Changge got up and looked at Tang Moshu with his eyes.
All her money is on this gambling house, how can she stop there?
Looking at those persistent eyes, even Tang Moshu didn't know what to say.
Since Xiao Changge said so, he can only help.
"Another point, be careful, you have been dragging the prince, I am afraid that the prince is going to take action, and people's patience will be exhausted."
Xiao Changge reminded that Tang Moshu also knew this, so he didn't know what the prince would do.
