Chapter 650

Lu Xiaobei listened to his words and said excitedly: "Shopkeeper Zhuang also underestimates me too much." Although I am not in the officialdom, the intrigue between businessmen is no less than that of officialdom. Jin Ning has the grace of regeneration for me, if it weren't for him, I would still be struggling to survive in that broken yard in Lishui County. Now there are many ways to make money, how can I make this money knowing that this will damage Jinning's reputation? ”

Zhuang Yue saw that he understood, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, when I chose to engage in business, I wanted to fight for Sister Ling'er, so as not to let people look down on her, saying that she relied on her mother's family to support her husband; Second, I also want to help Jinning. Who knew that he himself was so powerful, not only was he not good at the imperial examination along the way, but he also did so well in the business that he didn't spend much time and energy on, which made me completely useless. ”

When Lu Xiaobei talked about this, he was quite depressed.

He originally wanted to make more money to fund Du Jinning, but if Du Jinning wanted to use the money in the future, he would directly cover it. But although Du Jinning doesn't have time to make money, he has helpers. used personality charm to bring people like Zhuang Yue and Yao Shuqi to his side and help him make money; His brain is different from ordinary people, and it is a good idea to make money when he thinks about it, and the speed of making money is not slower than that of Lu Xiaobei.

"Some time ago, your flower shop made a lot of money, right?" He asked Zhuang Yue.

"Haha, not only some time ago, but now I make a lot of money every day." As soon as he talked about this, Zhuang Yue couldn't close his mouth.

Because they are both doing business, Zhuang Yue and Lu Xiaobei have a common language.

"Although the spring festival has passed, but the capital is so big and has such a large population, when will there be few people who marry wives and have children? As long as you do a happy event, you can use our flower shop. Zhuang Yue said with a smile.

Since Du Jinning came up with the idea and said that he could send flower baskets for happy events, Zhuang Yue did a lot of sales in the city, and after doing a few happy things for free, the habit of sending flower baskets to the families of happy events arose in the city. When doing a happy event, the more flower baskets at the door, the more well-connected the family is, and the guests who come are rich. Because this flower basket is not cheap, the smallest flower basket costs at least two taels of silver, and the large one costs ten taels.

When the flower basket was priced, Du Jinning said that he would take the high-end route and show the compulsion, not the bad street. After all, the supply of their flower base is limited, so it is natural to develop in the direction of high-precision.

Two taels of silver, whose house do ordinary people go to eat and drink, and the red envelope of the package is less than two taels of silver, how can it be a waste of this money to put it at the door, just to see a flower?

So as soon as they came out, they became a forced existence. The wealthy family holds a happy event, and the street at the door is full of flower baskets from one end to the other, all of which are given by guests. This kind of face-saving thing, once someone does it, then others can't be compared to him. As a result, it has become a trend of wealthy families showing their connections.

Some time ago, in the imperial examination, those who were admitted to the Jinshi, the innkeeper took the lead in sending the flower basket (this was naturally discussed by Zhuang Yue with the bosses), which led a trend again, and those who had good friendships with classmates or wanted to tie up with the new branch Jinshi to send the flower basket was placed at the door of the inn, giving the new branch jinshi a lot of face, and the innkeeper also smiled from ear to ear - the more flower baskets at the door, the more new science and technology scholars in their inn, and the inn became an auspicious place. By the next imperial examination, people will definitely come to live in inns with many flower baskets, and business will naturally be booming.

Of course, the yard of the wealthy family is quite large, with many flowers and trees, and it is not difficult to make a few flower baskets by yourself. But the flower basket was given to someone else, and the name was written on it in red silk. Once he pretended to be a flower shop to make a flower basket, and the flower shop spread the word, wouldn't it be a loss of face, making people say that they couldn't even give up a few taels of silver, and they had to save money by themselves?

The most important face of the noble and wealthy family, if you do this kind of thing in order to save a few taels of silver, then people will definitely wonder if the inside of this house has been broken, and even a few taels of silver will be saved.

So even if many people have flowers at home, they still go to the flower shop to buy flower baskets and give them away.

Because of this business, the Du family made a lot of money in just a short period of time.

Zhuang Yue has a great sense of accomplishment for this - with an owner who will come up with good ideas, his business is simply slippery, is it too successful?

"Because the emperor is newly ascended, there are a lot of battles in secret, and you should also pay attention here." Zhuang Yue said, and told Lu Xiaobei about the incident in Shen Langzhong.

This matter, because it involved the family, so they didn't say anything except for a few people who knew about it.

But Zhuang Yue felt that if someone really wanted to cure Du Jinning, maybe they would start with his relatives. Xu Chengyuan and Fang Shaohua are both officials, and they are deeply influenced by Du Jinning, so they will be careful about the methods in the officialdom.

Lu Xiaobei is different, if he is used as a loophole to attack Du Jinning, then Du Jinning is really destroyed in a mosquito nest.

So he took the opportunity to remind Lu Xiaobei.

"Shopkeeper Zhuang, don't worry, I will be very careful." Lu Xiaobei said solemnly.

"It's not just you, it's your family's descendants. Shen Langzhong, they were all exploited because of their long followers. Zhuang Yue reminded again.

Not only Shen Langzhong, but also Du Jinning used his subordinates to trap Zhou Dongping.

Some of his subordinates have been by his master's side for many years, and his master trusts them very much. Once these subordinates have different intentions, the master can't guard against it.

For example, Zhuang Yue, such as Yao Shuqi, one is in charge of the industry under Du Jinning's name, and the other is in charge of all the housekeeping of Du Jinning's house. If they have thoughts that are unfavorable to Du Jinning, and Du Jinning is unguarded and undetectable, it is easy to make a big mess.

This is also the reason why many families only use their families to have children and are unwilling to buy people outside.

"Yes, I'll take notice." Lu Xiaobei had an excellent attitude and was not impatient at all.

Seeing this, when Zhuang Yue left, he confessed a sentence that Du Jinning asked him to bring: "If the second aunt has spare money, buy more tea in the mountains." This is what our young master specially explained. ”

Lu Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, not only did he not show joy, but asked, "Why?" ”

Originally, Qi Bokun, Yuan Xiuzhu, and Du Jinning partnered to buy tea gardens near the capital and Anhui, and the roasted green tea produced was sold at a very high price. At the beginning, Lu Xiaobei went to various places to sell and buy these teas to make the difference, and also helped Du Jinning open up sales channels by the way, so as to prevent Qi Bokun and Yuan Xiuzhu from hand-inducing, lest Du Jinning's business be affected when they wanted to get rid of Du Jinning and buy tea from the tea garden alone.

But later, Qi Bokun and Yuan Xiuzhu not only had no selfish intentions, but quit the tea business and asked Du Jinning to buy a tea garden by himself to do this exclusive business, and Lu Xiaobei's move was useless. Although he is still helping Du Jinning sell tea, in addition, he will also sell silk, porcelain and other things to sell in various places.

However, he adhered to the idea of not competing with Du Jinning for profit, and never bought a tea garden to grow tea. If you have spare money, you can only buy fields and shops, or spread the channels of goods more widely.
