Chapter 19: The Seventh Prince of Xiao

As soon as the front foot of Ruofeng came out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xiao Xiang came in with an embroidered bamboo white satin coat on his back foot, but it was obvious that it was a set of men's clothes.

"Remember to bring what I kept for you."

After fastening her belt, Xiao Huang looked up and saw the person who had finished picking up early, waiting for her beside her with a look of impatience, she was secretly amused, and couldn't help but remind her again.

"Yes! Miss, I'll go now. ”

Knowing that she was going to leave the house, Xiao Xiang's joy really couldn't be contained, and she had two more kraft bags in her hand with a dazzling kung fu.

As for why Xiao Huang's belongings were stored in Xiaoxiang, this matter has to start from the fact that she asked Lian Huaying to open a study in Xiangfang, originally wanting to find a clean place for "dancing and writing".

But I never thought about it, but it attracted a "mouse" who was dormant in the dark.

Maybe it's also because she has too strong self-discipline, and she will always lock herself in the study at regular intervals, not letting people serve or disturb her, and for two hours, no more than no less, will inevitably attract suspicion in the long run.

It wasn't until she noticed that there were traces of people turning over the drawer bookshelves every now and then, Xiao Huang also had an extra eye after reflection.

Although she was still a little worried about Xiaoxiang's rough lines at first, practice has proved that the girl is still very reliable in most cases.

Of course, there must be a premise for this.

The premise is that Xiao Huang must 100% declare the priority of the incident to her, otherwise things will be messed up, and she will be the one who has a headache.

Therefore, if nothing else, the mode of getting along between the two will always be "master" and "student", "elder" and "child" in the long run......

In Kyoto City, there are all jewelry stores.

In the shop, it is rare for customers to come every day, so the young man who guards the store at this moment is very happy, until the sound of knuckles clasping the table in front of the case, he suddenly straightened up, and said reflexively: "Guest officer, what are you looking at?" ...... in the little shop"

"Please, please come out and speak."

Hearing this, the young man was cold, and finally came to his senses, and he looked embarrassed, "This guest officer ......"

"You just go and call, by the way, help Ben Gongzi with a word, just say that if you miss today, the first jewelry store in the past can only be in the past." As soon as he entered the store, he sat and drank tea like an uncle, who else could there be except Xiao Huang.

Because she is dressed as a man, she also lowered her voice slightly when she spoke, the decibel was properly controlled, and her words were depressed and frustrated, which sounded particularly convincing.

The young man hesitated again and again, and finally replied, "Please wait a while." ”

didn't let the guests wait longer, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a slight fortune came out of the inner hall, followed by the young man who had just run in.

The middle-aged man walked up to Xiao Huang and asked with a kind face, "But son, are you looking for a little old man?" ”

"It's so astringent, this tea is not very good." Xiao Huang spit out a tea stalk in his mouth, and sat on the chair without lifting his eyelids.

Her rude behavior has made a few guys in the store indignant, but the middle-aged man is not dissatisfied, and he went to change a cup of tea for her kindly.

This approach couldn't help but make Xiao Huang look up at him, "You are the shopkeeper?" ”

"It's the little old man."

"Then this gathering of all jewelry stores, can the shopkeeper be the master?"

As a former leading jeweler, there must be a background, Xiao Huang doesn't think that the shopkeeper in front of him is the owner of the rights and interests of this jewelry store, so it is naturally better to ask clearly.

Sure enough, hearing her ask, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Little Lao'er can call the shots, but it depends on what the son wants Xiao Lao'er to do." ”

"Presumably the little brother just now also brought the words, what this son wants the shopkeeper to do, is this master, how, what can the shopkeeper do?"

After listening to Xiao Huang's words, the smile on the shopkeeper's face was no longer there, he looked at the person in front of him, he was not very old, but his eyes were cunning, his face was delicate but handsome, and he was dressed up, although he was elegant and simple, but the style of everyone in his body could not be concealed.

Even the little guy who followed him had a good face and an aura, without any sense of humility and vulgarity as a slave......

There was a moment of silence, "This son, let's take a step to talk and come with me." ”

"Okay." Xiao Huang got up and closed his head.

In the inner hall, the shopkeeper regained his kind face, "Childe, please take a seat, I don't know what Childe means when he asks the guy to bring it?" ”

"Ming people don't say dark words, Juquan jewelry store was the first jewelry store in Kyoto, almost everyone in the industry knows about it, Ding bell jade, imperial jade, the limelight can be described as a flourishing moment."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huang shook his head regretfully, "However, because you were robbed of business by the newly opened Shengshi Jewelry, your profits have been declining in recent years, even to the point of losing money...... I don't know if that's right? ”

"Yes, it's true, this is news that almost everyone in the industry knows, what's the use of Childe saying this?" As if recalling something, the shopkeeper's mood was a little low.

"Naturally, it's useless, because it's just what can be seen on the surface."

The corners of Xiao Huang's mouth hooked slightly, and then said: "In essence, the reason for the declining decline of Juquan Jewelry Store can be summed up in just four words. ”

"What four words?"

"According to the old and the old, as far as I know, Juquan Jewelry started a few years ago, and the jewelry made all year round is nothing more than a few styles."

Observing that the face of the person opposite was getting worse and worse, Xiao Huang was sure that he was talking about it.

"And in recent years, it has changed the soup without changing the medicine, changing the way to sell the style of the past, and the initial freshness of the customers has passed.

"Of course, in terms of the characteristics of jewelry and jade, polishing is not easy, although the prosperous jewelry store does not necessarily push the new and remove the old, but people will also have several finale styles every year."

Picking up the water on the table and taking a shallow sip, she continued: "Therefore, if Juquan Jewelry loses to Shengshi Jewelry, it is better to say that it is defeated by itself."

"What is the purpose of that son's coming?"

"The purpose of my visit is very simple, not only to cooperate, but also to close this loophole in Juquan Jewelry."

At the same time, Xiao Xiang, who received Xiao Huang's signal, took a few steps forward, took out a few prepared drawings and handed them to the shopkeeper opposite.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was a little puzzled, she spoke again: "The shopkeeper might as well take a look and talk about it." ”

When the words fell, she sat quietly aside, without saying a word, without urging, Xiao Huang believed that the shopkeeper would be a person who knew the goods, if not, then he could only blame himself for being clumsy.

A few drawings, the shopkeeper just looked at the time of a stick of incense, but the excitement in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"How, these things are in sight?" Looking at the person who looked up from the drawing, Xiao Huang asked.

The shopkeeper got up suddenly, "Where did these sketches of Childe come from?" ”

"Hehe, as long as the shopkeeper knows, he comes with sincerity, and he is fully responsible for the reasons for cooperation, so why do you need to ask more?"

"Haha, it's the little old man who is superficial." Suppressing the overflowing joy, the shopkeeper returned to the seat, and the kindness was undiminished.

However, there is still a little difference, that is, the shrewdness that gradually appears under his eyes.

Xiao Huang's heart is like a mirror, and he understands that is the true nature of a businessman......

At some point, the wind from outside the window blew into the inner hall, rolling up the corner of the drawing on the table, and the lead-colored mark loomed on the back of the paper.

The shopkeeper turned his head and glanced at the person standing by the window, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, "How does Childe want to cooperate?" ”

The latter's figure did not move, "It depends on the conditions of the shopkeeper and how generous he is." ”

You can see the scenery for an hour just by holding a glass of water, is this what it looks like if he made a condition?! While the shopkeeper was extremely resentful in his heart, he also had to sigh with emotion, the future life was terrifying.

He pondered for a few moments and said, "How about this kind of painting, twelve paintings a year, one hundred taels of silver each?" ”

Indeed, in terms of design drawings alone, one hundred taels of silver is not low, but what Xiao Huang wants is not these.

"Isn't the shopkeeper joking? If what you want is this one hundred taels of silver, don't you think that the shopkeeper can have one hundred taels of silver in such a sketch and get it to the Shengshi Jewelry Store, maybe more? ”

"What does that Childe mean?" The shopkeeper sweats on his forehead.

Xiao Huang turned around, "It's very simple, there are four seasons in a year, and the four seasons are different, and I will send you four such drawings in each season, a total of sixteen in a year, and every time you send the drawings, attach the publicity design of that season." ”

After the shopkeeper fully understood what she meant, she said: "And what my son wants is to share the profits from Juquan Jewelry Store with forty or six shares." ”

"Childe's appetite is too big!" Watching the shopkeeper's face change from excitement to gloom, she was not surprised at all.

"What do you mean by the shopkeeper?" Xiao Huang said firmly: "Now Juquan Jewelry is in a state of loss, and there is no half of the profit, yes or no?" ”

"Even if it were, it wouldn't ......"

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, she immediately continued: "According to what I just said, there are still things on the table, from the perspective of the shopkeeper, can Juquan Jewelry Store come back to life?" ”

"This ......," the shopkeeper was moved when he heard this.

"So, the last point, in the provision of design, publicity and sales, only accounted for four points, while Juquan jewelry store provided raw materials and workmanship, but accounted for six points, how big is the appetite in the next?" Xiao Huang looked innocent.

"What's more, the shopkeeper thinks that under the competition and suppression of Shengshi Jewelry, how long can Juquan Jewelry Store last if it only loses money and does not make a profit?" The last blockbuster*, she threw down without any burden.

"This son, let the little old man think about it." The shopkeeper said with a sad face.

She said generously: "The shopkeeper is pleased." ”

The third incense in the incense burner finally burned out, and the figure of the shopkeeper also appeared in the inner hall again, "Childe, this four-six division is really difficult, if we each take a step back, I will give you three points, and Childe's additional propaganda design, Xiao Lao'er will not want it." ”

The words made the shopkeeper extremely sad.

Hearing this, Xiao Huang thought for a moment, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination before speaking, "For the sake of the shopkeeper's sincere cooperation, the three or seven are divided, and I also agreed to it, but the additional conditions that were said before will not be less than one point in the next." ”

"In the next meeting, a three-year agreement will be signed with the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper can also fulfill the terms of the agreement after one year."

As soon as the words fell, she made a righteous and awe-inspiring promise: "If you can't bring Juquan Jewelry back to life, then according to what I said before, a design drawing of one hundred taels is only sold, how about it?" ”

"Childe, I can't help it, I still gathered all the jewelry stores to bully people." Seeing that Xiao Huang was so upright, the shopkeeper felt more and more ashamed, he used to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Xiao Huang smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I will cooperate with sincerity in the next place, and naturally I won't let the friends who cooperate suffer, otherwise wouldn't it be against the original intention of cooperation?" ”

"Alas, my family doesn't speak two words." The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Don't call the shopkeeper the shopkeeper, the little old man's surname is He, if the son doesn't give up, he will call the little old man Uncle He." ”

"Yes, then Uncle He will call the late birth of Xiao Qi good." Xiao Huang returned, with a gentle and elegant style.

"Xiao Qi? Okay, what a flute seven. ”
