Chapter 210: Overseas Trade
Thinking that she might not be able to see Zhao Kangcheng for more than a month, Sun Lulu couldn't sit still, she wanted to go along, but she knew that once Zuo Xiang discovered her traces, she would definitely be arrested halfway!
After Cai Xiaoxiao and the three of them left the house, they came to the restaurant. For Zhao Kangcheng, who saw the restaurant for the first time, this restaurant is indeed very dilapidated as Cai Xiaoxiao said, and it looks like it has been shelved for more than ten years. But it was in a good location, and it was not very far from the house they had just left, and it was only a quarter of an hour's walk.
After pushing the door in, Cai Xiaoxiao wiped the tables and chairs with the clean rags prepared earlier, and then asked Zhao Kangcheng and Zheng Yi to sit down, and the three of them began to discuss how to renovate the restaurant:
"I want to change the staircase to a spiral staircase." Cai Xiaoxiao was the first to speak, and before they could ask questions, she stood up, stood in the center of the lobby, and said while gesturing, "Right here, build the staircase here in a rotating style." As she spoke, she spun around a little.
"The spiral staircase, interesting, is a good proposition." Zheng Yi imagined the picture for a moment, nodded, and said very approvingly.
"Then here......" Cai Xiaoxiao walked to the far edge of the lobby again, "make a long counter, surround the city, and there are several large carbon stoves in the counter, and the height should be so high......" she gestured at her waist, "so that you can make breakfast here, and you can order food while settling accounts." ”
"In front of the guests? So what if someone learns the trick? Zheng Yi was slightly worried.
"No, I'll prepare all the ingredients, and the people guarding the counter just need to put the ingredients in the pot." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Speaking of manpower, sister-in-law, I thought before, aren't we going back to our hometown, so how about bringing Xiao Wu and them to Beijing when we come back? That way you don't have to look for someone. Zheng Yi suddenly proposed.
"What about the shops in town?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked him rhetorically.
"Close the door!" Zheng Yi replied very cheerfully, with a smile on his face, as if his proposal was very good.
Cai Xiaoxiao: "......" doesn't want to pay attention to him!
Zhao Kangcheng, who has been observing, said: "If you have manpower, you can find a few innocent people from the tooth market, as long as you let them sign a deed of sale or something like that, you don't have to worry about them betraying." ”
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I plan to do the same, by the way, look in the tooth market to see if there are any more talented chefs, and, Zheng Yi, didn't you say before that you wanted to lend me a few people." She looked at Zheng Yi.
"Of course, I will definitely borrow it, but I don't know when you need it, sister-in-law?" Zheng Yi asked.
"When we get back to Beijing." At that time, the restaurant should have been renovated about the same. Cai Xiaoxiao thought.
After talking about the first floor, the three of them walked up to the second floor.
Because the second floor is used to sell pastries and snacks, Cai Xiaoxiao thought about placing a grid cabinet around it, and then put the pastries in the grid for display, but unfortunately there is no glass, if there is glass, you can make a glass door, and it can also keep the pastries for a longer time.
Wait, glass seems to be called glass in ancient times, and it seems that these glasses will be produced overseas? I don't know if there is one in this era, if there is, then it can not only be used for its own use, but also as a huge business opportunity!
Thinking of this, Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, as if he saw a lot of gold shining in front of his eyes.
When Zhao Kangcheng and Zheng Yi saw each other, they looked puzzled, Zheng Yi asked Zhao Kangcheng: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's wrong?" "Why are you smiling so much...... Wretched?
Zhao Kangcheng shook his head, he didn't understand what was wrong with Cai Xiaoxiao, didn't he think of a good idea? However, before Zhao Kangcheng could ask the reason, Cai Xiaoxiao took the initiative to come back to his senses, looked at Zheng Yi suddenly, and asked expectantly: "Zheng Yi, do you Zheng family do overseas business?" ”
"Overseas business?" Zheng Yi didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned this, but she still shook her head obediently and replied, "Don't do it." "Overseas business is risky, although the money comes quickly, it is also easy to lose money, and it is also a bit dangerous. In addition, the Zheng family did not lack the money overseas, so they didn't do it.
Zhao Kangcheng thought for a while and asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, do you want to do overseas business?" ”
"Yes!" Cai Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation, but then she shook her head again, "It's not, it's just that I suddenly thought that there might be something I want overseas." ”
One thing? Zhao Kangcheng didn't understand why what Cai Xiaoxiao wanted was involved overseas, and how did she make sure that what she wanted was overseas?
Zhao Kangcheng knew that Cai Xiaoxiao had a lot of puzzles that didn't make sense, but he would never ask about them, for him, as long as these puzzles didn't hurt Cai Xiaoxiao and the relationship between him and his husband and wife, then he didn't care, just this overseas business......
Zhao Kangcheng said with a somewhat serious expression: "Xiaoxiao, ordinary businessmen in overseas business cannot be contacted at will. ”
Zheng Yi nodded beside him and said, "Brother is right, let's not say that it is risky and easy to lose money, let's just say that if overseas business is not allowed by the imperial court, it is an illegal transaction if it is contacted at will without authorization!" ”
"Huh? Why is it illegal? Shouldn't this be a private transaction? Cai Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Zhao Kangcheng explained: "It is a private transaction, and the money earned is also private, but it still needs to obtain a certificate of permission from the imperial court, and part of the money obtained in the future must be handed over to the imperial court." ”
"Because there are soldiers guarding the overseas and the border, overseas merchants and border merchants are not allowed to enter our dynasty at will, and if they want to enter, they must have a certificate from their own emperor. The main thing is that many of the things sold by overseas merchants and border merchants are not available in our dynasty, and it is not clear whether those things are harmful or in case an assassin mixes into the ranks of those merchants, so from all kinds of possible harmfulness and various considerations, transactions with overseas and border merchants must be carried out under the supervision of the imperial court. Zheng Yi also explained.
Cai Xiaoxiao thought of the scene of those daigou purchasing a bunch of goods from abroad every time they were inspected at the airport every time, so she understood, she nodded, and then asked, "Then can we go and get a certificate like this now?" ”
"Yes, yes, but it is estimated that it will take a long time to apply." Zheng Yi said, "Sister-in-law, does it have to be overseas?" Isn't it okay at the border? If you want a certificate of the border, the Zheng family still has it. ”
