Chapter 115: Deji Hall
With Shen Yue's approval, Shen Xiu also began to open a pharmacy.
It's a beautiful idea, but Shen Xiu has no clue how to do it. She has been living in the back house, and she doesn't know much about the outside world, let alone opening a shop.
"Miss, this is a silver ticket of three thousand taels, which the owner ordered me to give to you." The steward put the silver ticket on the table.
Shen Xiu looked at the silver ticket and knew that the HSBC shipping company had money, but Shen Yue was so generous and gave her three thousand taels directly, which still made her a little amazed, and said, "I'm tired." ”
"Miss is polite." The steward said.
Shen Xiu pointed to the chair next to him, motioned for the steward to sit down, and said with a smile: "If Mr. is free, I have something to ask." ”
The stewards of HSBC shipping houses are different from the stewards of high-ranking households, and the stewards of high-ranking households sign the deed of sale. Most of the stewards of the ship company are hired, and they are paid a monthly salary, and they do not get along well with the boss, so they can leave at any time.
"What does the young lady command?" The steward spoke, but sat down as he was told.
Shen Xiu said: "I want to open a pharmacy, I don't know where to start, so I want to ask Mr." ”
"Pharmacy......" The steward laughed when he heard this, it turned out that the three thousand silver was to open a pharmacy, and said: "It's a small thing, and the young lady can open it however she wants." ”
HSBC shipping company has money, the owner dotes on his sister, take 3,000 taels for her to play, just have a tea party, just be happy.
"This ......" Shen Xiu hesitated, and yesterday Shen Yue was also in this tone, which made her a little confused, so she simply said bluntly: "Mr. doesn't eat, I don't know how to make a living outside, and I suddenly want to open a pharmacy, but my brother thinks that I am not suitable for the boat to help." I always eat white food at home, and I always feel ashamed, so I want to do something for myself. I really don't understand the store, so I asked my husband. ”
"I see." The steward said, thought for a while, and said: "The pharmacy business has a lot of capital and low profits, but it is a reliable business and there is no risk. If the young lady really wants to do it, it is better to think about what to do first, and after finding a suitable doctor to sit in the hall, it is not too late to choose a storefront. ”
The shipping business is high in interest and high in risk, and it is suitable for a capable person like Shen Yue. He has the vision and ability, can reduce the risk, and make money like water. There are so many shipping lines in Da Zhou, and HSBC shipping can be the first, which is indeed Shen Yue's ability.
In the pharmacy business, the investment capital is large, the profit is low, and it is okay to support the family, but it is impossible to make a big fortune. In the same way, this kind of business has low requirements for the boss, does not require the boss's vision and courage, but requires diligence and ability, and is very clear about the accounts.
Big business is done, small business is calculated, that's the truth.
"That's ......" Shen Xiu muttered to herself, although she still had no clue in her heart, she vaguely knew what to do next. He said to the steward, "Thank you, sir, for the point." ”
The steward stood up with a smile and said, "Miss is polite, don't take the little things to heart." ”
Shen Xiu personally sent him out, turned around and went back to the house, looked at the silver ticket on the table, and had an idea in his heart.
The business is too small, the profit is too low, Shen Yue doesn't see it, and even the steward just casually mentions it, and doesn't take it seriously. But she still wants to do it, her brother has the ability to earn tens of thousands of family fortunes, she doesn't have the ability of her brother, but at least she has the ability to support herself.
Duckweed is generally attached to people, which always makes her insecure. She has no intention of marrying in her heart, but always plans for the future.
"Tell the porter to prepare the car, I'm going to go out." Shen Xiu said to her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law responded, and asked, "Where does the young lady want to go, so that the little maid can be arranged." ”
"Where is there a pharmacy in Qingyang, I want to go and see." Shen Xiu said.
Since you plan to start a pharmacy business, let's go and see how others do it first. Although three thousand capital is nothing to Shen Yue, she doesn't think that it can be played casually.
No matter what happens, having the ability to survive is what she wants to do at the moment.
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "If you want to talk about pharmacies, there are several streets." ”
"What's the biggest pharmacy?" Shen Xiu asked.
The mother-in-law smiled and said: "The biggest one, it must be Dejitang, which is a century-old shop that has been practicing medicine for generations." There are only five storefronts in Qingyang, and there are still shops open everywhere. ”
"Dejitang? The Xiao family? ”
Shen Xiu had the impression that the Xiao family was also regarded as an imperial doctor, supplying Yanwang's Mansion. Once Mrs. Cheng fell ill, she invited the head of the Xiao family to come for treatment. Although she didn't see it in person, according to her mother-in-law, the pomp and circumstance were rare.
"Yes, it's the Xiao family." The mother-in-law said with a smile, "Now the head of the Xiao family, Xiao is studying medicine, and he is also the number one person in Qingyang City. ”
Shen Xiu asked with a smile: "I don't know much about the Xiao family, if my mother knows, she might as well talk to me." ”
"It's nothing important, if you really want to say it, it's the romantic account of the big boss of the Xiao family." The mother-in-law smiled and said, "This Xiao family is a big family in Qingyang, and now this big Xiao family, twenty-six years old this year, is not the eldest son, but born to a concubine." I think it was bloody and bloody for the position of this clan back then. Later, when I married a wife and had children, there was a fire in the backyard, hey, it was so lively, people's brains were going to be beaten into dog brains. ”
She didn't know about the fight in the back house of a wealthy family. But the Xiao family's concubine room fight, which is wonderful and lively, belongs to the onlookers.
"This, doesn't the housewife of the Xiao family care?" Shen Xiu said suspiciously.
In terms of identity, the status of doctors is not high. However, Qingyang has a developed business, and a big family like the Xiao family, which has been in business for a hundred years, has a lot of money, and its status is also high.
Even if Xiao Xueyi is strong and the concubine is in charge, there are also elders in the clan, and there should be a housewife in the family. Otherwise, if you let the concubine's room fight like this, you won't be able to get over your own face.
"The Xiao family doesn't have a housewife." The mother-in-law said, explaining: "The mother-in-law of the big Xiao family has passed away a long time ago, and the biological mother has also died, but there is one wife, but what does it matter, she also died of depression two years ago." Now it's chaos that is king, this big boss doesn't care about it at all, and he especially likes the concubine room who can fight, who wins the favor of whom. ”
Generally speaking, even if the main mother is gone, the man will take care of it to some extent, and the clan will manage it, no matter how chaotic it is, there will be a limit.
Xiao studying medicine is an unusual way, the Xiao clan didn't dare to care about him, he just wanted to see the concubine fight, where the fun is, the concubine will of course cooperate.
Not to mention the personality, Xiao studied medicine and was talented, and he was also rich and powerful. Men who are worth fighting for, women will sell more and strive for grabbing.
“…… It's a very special hobby. Shen Xiu was speechless when he heard it, and could only say that there were many weirdos in the world.
The mother-in-law said: "The big master of Xiao is capable, and he has earned money for the Xiao family, although the matter in the backyard is a joke, it is still counted in Qingyang City." ”
Commerce is developed, silver opens the way, as long as you have the ability to make money, who cares. is the concubine room in the backyard, all of them wear gold and silver, which makes many people envious.
Shen Xiu knew in his heart, and smiled without saying a word.
This is the case in the real world, strength opens the way, no matter what Xiao's background is and how strange his hobbies are, as long as he has the ability to make money, none of the relatives of the Xiao family who take dry shares dare to speak up.
Even if outsiders evaluate it, in addition to his enemies, they will not just stare at the things in the backyard. It is also a skill to have the ability to raise a bunch of concubines.
"The young lady suddenly asked about the pharmacy, but where is it uncomfortable?" The mother-in-law asked.
Speaking of Shen Xiu, her appetite is not very good for a while, and her expression is very haggard. It's time to find a doctor.
"I'm fine, I just want to go shopping." Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Mom, go and arrange it." ”
"Yes, I'll go." The mother-in-law responded, and she didn't dare to ask, it was normal for the daughter to go to the jewelry store, but it was strange to visit the pharmacy.
Shen Xiu changed his coat, took the broken silver, and went to the back door.
The steward had already arranged the frame, and as usual, the four little guys followed, for fear that Shen Xiu would miss when he went out.
"Go to Deji Hall." Shen Xiu got into the car and commanded.
The carriage didn't take a few steps before stopping, and Deji Tang was not far from the HSBC shipping company, all in the most prime area of Qingyang. The difference is that HSBC is closer to the sea.
Shen Xiu stepped on the footstool and got out of the car, unconsciously pulling his cloak. It's spring in the blink of an eye, and although it's spring, it's still a little chilly from time to time.
Looking up at the plaque, the big plaque reads the three words Deji Hall. The five storefronts are wide open, and there is an endless stream of guests, busy children.
"Please, okay, my dad is dying, just give me some medicine."
Suddenly, there was a pleading, and I saw a young man in his teens, with tattered clothes, rushing to the shop and kneeling down in the main hall.
Shen Xiu was somewhat stunned for a moment, and a few customers also seemed a little surprised, but the little one in the store was not surprised, and stepped forward impatiently and said: "Why are you again, go quickly, don't delay business here." ”
"Uncle is good, my father is angry, just give me a little medicine to save my life." As he spoke, the young man began to kowtow to the ground.
Xiao Mi's face was impatient, but there were guests, and it was not good to drive people away.
The store manager had to step forward and say: "In the past six months, how much medicine have I given you, we are here to open a pharmacy, not a good hall." ”
"But, my father, my father really can't hold on......" the young man cried, kowtowing again and again, "I beg you, be merciful." ”
In such a commotion, the guests also came over. Some of them were soft-hearted and said, "This young man is also pitiful, so let the shopkeeper be kind." ”
"But this is a pharmacy." The steward was embarrassed and said, "I have always paid for the medicine he has been given, and I don't have much salary. ”
The young man still knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Uncle is good, good, my father is really not good......"
"It's rare to be so filial, why can't the shopkeeper fulfill him." The onlookers said.
Shen Xiu looked at it, but was silent in thought. Those who open pharmacies are only afraid of this. If you don't save it, it's not humane, if you save it, where can you have so much leisure.
Just when he was stuck, he suddenly said: "Beat this liar out of the stick, I have cheated so many medicines in the pharmacy in the past six months, and I didn't give it to my sick father at all, but took it out and sold it secretly." ”
