Chapter 34: Tipping
The new week is about to begin, and there are two shifts a day, around 10 in the morning and around 7 in the evening.
The book is on the list, asking for rewards, collections, recommendations, clicks, comments, and so on!
……
The Zhuangzi that traded with Wu Chengen is located in the east of Lantian County, and I don't know if it is a coincidence, it is just at the foot of Taibai Mountain, but the location is a little off.
But for Li Anran, it's a good thing that the location is a little different. If it weren't for the fact that he had just finished buying jade and exchanged for another 1,000 taels of gold, the funds in his hands would have decreased sharply.
Li Anran even planned to find an opportunity to ask the Lantian County Ya if he could wrap up the entire land from a few mountains outside Taibai Mountain adjacent to this Zhuangzi.
Since Zhuangzi was too far away from the county seat, Li Anran was not in a hurry to receive it. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the evening and followed Wu Chengen to go around the three shops.
One of these three shops is in the east of the county, that is, the commercial street in the center of the city in the later generations, the market entrance is very good, the only disadvantage is that the area is slightly smaller.
Of course, the small size here is also relatively speaking, in addition to the door at least seven or eight meters wide façade, there is also a set of houses with a large area in the backyard.
Listening to Wu Chengen's meaning, this shop was originally a business such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but it was taken down by Hongfu Building because of something happened to the owner.
After looking at this shop, Li Anran thought it was very good. If you don't want to change the business project, you can basically take over the business and bring some regular customers.
After pondering for a while, Li Anran, who had an idea in his heart, decided to let this shop temporarily continue to operate businesses such as the four treasures of the study, calligraphy, paintings, and scripts.
As for the question of whether to make money, Li Anran has never really put the heavy responsibility of running these small businesses in this regard. Regardless of speed or value, luxury goods such as glass, glass, mirrors, artificial gemstones, etc. are king.
Of course, Li Anran also knows that if he sees the sky from modern time and space to Datang time and space with luxury goods such as glass and glass, it will not only affect the market situation of rare and expensive, but also may cause some unnecessary trouble.
Zhilu said that he was just starting out at the moment, and Li An, who didn't have any self-preservation capital, was not stupid enough to mess around. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thrown the snow candy recipe out of the box, just in exchange for a three-percent profit dividend.
In addition to the shop in the East Market, which is the commercial street in the center of the city, the other two are in the West Market of Lantian County. Compared with the East Market, which targets mid-to-high-end customers, the West Market targets ordinary people.
Fortunately for Li Anran, even though the West Market is indeed inferior to the East Market in many aspects, the environment is not so bad that defecation can be seen everywhere. And the market of these two shops is really quite good.
One of the shops is also a restaurant, although it is far inferior to Hongfu Building in terms of scale and grade. But the place is big enough, not only to have a courtyard where people can live, but even a warehouse to store goods.
The other shop is an inn, which is the kind of place where food and accommodation are mixed together. Unlike the shop in Dongshi, which has closed down, both shops are operating normally, and as for business, they are not very good.
After Li Anran took a turn in these two shops, he understood from the eyes of modern people what kind of business these two shops were just ordinary. Without him, there is no feature, and the price is not very affordable.
There are not only these two shops doing the same business in Lantian County, and there are only those consumer groups. After dividing up each other, it is actually good to be able to maintain a slight profit and not make any price war to hurt people.
Li Anran doesn't care about the business of these two shops, and he doesn't plan to change it, at least not now. After all, I have only been in Datang for a few days, and I have just settled down, and I have no foundation, and slow development is the king.
When Wu Chengen called the shopkeeper and the guy in the two shops to him and told them that they had changed the new owner, Li Anran's attitude was very simple, and everything remained the same. The only thing is that it is specifically explained on the books.
said that since he had just taken over the shop, he would not pursue any problems that had occurred before. But once you find that someone still wants to continue to talk nonsense after you take over, then you should be severely punished.
Don't look at Li Anran's study in modern time and space, he is not an economic major, but he is still relatively clear about some basic accounting knowledge. After all, the family is treating people, selling wine and wine, and I have been exposed to this aspect since I was a child, and practice makes perfect.
As for whether the shopkeepers of these two shops can hear their words, Li Anran actually doesn't care. In ancient times, although it was not uncommon for the following crimes to occur, after all, it was only a very rare phenomenon.
Not to mention that these shops are all sold by Wu Chengen to himself, if there is any problem, just like the other party also said on the spot that he would never tolerate it, there will really be a "big mouse" appearing, and he will lose face at that time.
After taking a turn around the three shops, Li Anran didn't care how much these three places were worth together. After going through the motions, Gu Bangcai and Sun Changgeng were invited to a banquet in Hongyun Building that night according to the specifications of noon.
Although Li Anran paid for it this time, the specific arrangement was still Wu Chengen, a fat man. However, looking at the appearance of the other party who was full of big heads when he moved slightly, Li Anran was really worried about whether this person would suddenly burp directly because of Sangao.
During the banquet, Su Xiaomei, a well-known person, was specially invited from the best Qinglou Cuihong Mansion in Lantian County, and sang a song that Li Anran couldn't understand at all with a light voice, which was praised by everyone, including Gu Bangcai.
The only thing that made Li Anran not very satisfied was that the identity he had made up before, although it could indeed be of some use. But since he is a master of the world, it is naturally difficult to make a move to visit the Qinglou, at least don't think about it in a short time.
Fortunately, Li Anran's pure yang skills and swordsmanship have not been practiced in vain for many years, even if he still has a good impression of the beautiful sister paper and physiological impulses, but at least he will not be uncontrollable in this regard, so as to do something ugly.
And this Su Xiaomei is too young, only fifteen years old, and the development of the ancients was originally a lot later in later generations, so she was a proper Lori in later generations. However, although the appearance is a little greener, it can already be seen that it is a beautiful embryo.
It's not surprising to think about it, although this ancient Qinglou woman also needs to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to win the favor of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but her appearance and figure still have to play a big role, otherwise it is useless to look like Furong even if she is talented.
Seeing that this person is also beautiful, quite a bit of a goddess in later generations, this aclay and music are also played well and sung beautifully. As the host of this banquet, Li Anran naturally will not be stingy with rewards, and he is a "hall master" (?) )。
It's not that Li Anran has no money to reward more (such as the alliance leader who is gentle and dreamy), firstly, because he doesn't want to appear too wronged, and secondly, the reward of 20 taels of silver is not too small, but it is a full 20,000 yuan when exchanged for copper coins.
Even if the price of goods in this period in the first year of Zhenguan was still relatively high, this money was not small. Although it is far less than those rich people who like to spend a lot of money, with Li Anran's current identity, it is just right to be no more and no less.
If you give too much, not to mention being the wronged leader, it will also seem too extravagant, and if you give too little and can't take it, it will be too low. In addition, these silver bars brought from modern time and space are all 99.99 million feet of sterling silver, which is worth more than ordinary silver.
But what surprised Li Anran was that when this dinner was over, he returned to the exquisite small garden where he temporarily settled on his front feet. On the back foot, I heard a report from the subordinate who was arranged here that the guys from Hongfu Building were waiting outside with Su Xiaomei from Cuihua Building.
