Kyoto Nishi-dori Street is the busiest street in Kyoto, with a wide variety of shops, including jewelry shops and silk shops, so this street is also the most frequented by Kyoto's Maiden and Maiden.

The Fan family's two jewelry shops and silk village are located on West Street.

At this time, the shopkeeper of these shops took over their young proprietor - Fan Gumin came back, thinking that he would take advantage of the rush to come to the store to check and watch - after all, the young proprietor went to Beijing for the first time, and he went to Beijing on the grounds of understanding and solving the store's operating losses, so he prepared the account books of the store for half a year early, waiting for Fan Gumin to check it carefully and sensitively.

When the shopkeeper Yang of the two jewelry shops was about to consciously ask Fan Gumin to look at the account book, Fan Gumin waved his hand: "Hey, don't worry, don't you just arrive, let's have a cup of tea and take a rest." ”

The shopkeeper Yang is holding the account book in his hand, drinking tea? But haven't I drunk the tea two or three times?

Seeing Fan Gumin proudly looking around the things inside and outside the store, Shopkeeper Yang still swallowed back the question, and then sighed in his heart, thinking that this young owner didn't look like he was not too concerned about business, but like he came to Kyoto to see and play, and put the account book back in the cabinet, and then the shopkeeper Yang smiled and said: "The young owner must be tired, so why don't you check the account book tomorrow?" ”

Hearing this, Fan Gumin turned his head to look at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, and suddenly smiled: "Don't think that I came to Kyoto to have fun without doing anything, but in fact, it's not, you see I'm observing the problem now, since I just entered the store and drank two cups of tea, many people have come into our store to see the jewelry, but look, is it sold?" One no! ”

Shopkeeper Yang was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, but still smiled: "It's because of this, it's strange, our shop is also a time-honored brand in Kyoto, and it also has some reputation among those ladies and girls of the family, but I don't know what happened in the past six months, the business is not as good as the newly opened poppy jewelry shop, and the business is very good." As he spoke, he sighed.

Fan Gumin didn't care, and thought he was very thoughtful: "Alas, this means that you don't know how to operate!" ”

"Oh, how do you say this, our show pavilion has been open for so many years, why don't you know how to operate?" Shopkeeper Yang humbly asked.

Fan Gumin said: "Now the world is different, our Song country is getting stronger and stronger, and the people in Kyoto are pursuing higher and higher, you look at these jewelry we sell, but they are still these old styles!" Why did the poppy beauty's newly opened store rob us of our customers, it was because he was new! ”

Shopkeeper Yang woke up the dreamer when he heard the words, but he was a little unclear, "But we also have new styles every year, in addition to the classics, there are also new ones, and the workmanship in the poppy store is not as exquisite as ours!" ”

Fan Gumin's eyes widened, looked at him, and showed a lamenting expression of a fool who could not be taught, "Alas, it's no wonder that our store will lose money," said and walked out of the street outside, looked at the poppy shop across a few shops opposite, and pointed to the shopkeeper Yang and said: "Look, the store is new, the staff is also spiritual, how particular the furnishings are, you look at us again, this store doesn't know how new it is, it's been more than ten years old, it's still the same old look, people talk about clothes, and people who dress well also look up to you a few points, Our shop is so old, if you are a customer, you pass by, do you want to look at the spirit of the new store and want to go in and have a look, or enter our dilapidated store? ”

Shopkeeper Yang also widened his eyes when he heard this, and looked back and forth between the poppy beauty store and the Jinxiu store many times, with a sudden face, looking at Fan Gumin, there was a little more admiration in his eyes, and he smiled: "The young owner is really a smart person, not a reminder from the young owner, I don't know what the problem is now, even so, what is the plan of the young owner?" ”

Fan Gumin was refreshed when he heard it, looked at the three words "Jinxiu Pavilion", and muttered for a while, his eyes seemed to be emitting, and said, "Change!" Since the store is old, let's suspend business and make it new! Take advantage of the rest and hurry up to come up with some new styles to attract customers when you reopen! ”

Shopkeeper Yang also looked at the words "Jinxiu Pavilion" with him, hesitated a little in his heart, and said: "But it has been a loss for half a year, wouldn't it be more ...... to close down for repairs"

"Hey......" Fan Gumin waved his hand, interrupting his words, his expression was firm, and his tone was emphasized: "That's it!" If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you can do a great deal! I've already given you an idea, and if you don't change it, your business will continue to lose money! Listen to me, that's right......" As he spoke, he suddenly saw a familiar back, he almost jumped up, the joy in his heart was simply indescribable, and he hurriedly said to the shopkeeper Yang: "You go and do it, I still have some things, so I won't talk to you more." With that, he hurried forward.

Shopkeeper Yang looked at the back of Fan Gumin who was in a hurry to leave, and then smiled bitterly, sighed, and said: "Alas, this is to go to Beijing to solve the problem, obviously to embarrass me!" He shook his head and walked into the store with his hands behind his back.

Fan Gumin's heart was full of joy, he knocked on the fan in his hand, he even walked as proudly as if he was carrying the wind, and he couldn't close his mouth and said to himself: "Oh, I really have some luck to think of Fan Gumin!" Look at the fact that not long after stepping on the ground in Kyoto, I saw this second son of Song! It also saved me from thinking about how to hand over the post to the Song Guogong Mansion to visit! It's really dozing, and there are pillows......" said a few steps before entering the poppy's shop.

As soon as he entered, he smiled and said, "Second Prince Song, don't come unharmed!" It startled Song Kai, who was looking at the jewelry with his back on his back.

Song Kai looked back and saw that it was Fan Gumin, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he smiled: "It turned out to be Fan Gongzi, you ...... How did you get to Beijing? ”

Fan Gumin straightened up, smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and said: "Second Prince Song doesn't know yet, our Fan family has a business in Kyoto, there is no problem, my father sent me to Beijing to check!" I just got off the boat, and I didn't expect to meet the second son of Song, isn't this fate? “

When Song Kai heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and as if he remembered something, he asked, "That...... Then Miss Xiao must have gone to Beijing with Master Fan? Thinking of Xiao Zhiqiu's looking back, Song Kai seemed to have passed a long time.

When Fan Gumin heard this, his mind turned, thinking that he was thinking about Xiao Zhiqiu, but he smiled and said, "That's certain!" Cousin Zhiqiu also just returned to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and my three younger sisters also accompanied her to Beijing! I can't leave, so I can only go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow to pay a visit, but I don't want to happen to meet the second son of Song. ”
