Chapter 537: Encountering Xia Lian

On the surface, the big boss of Tsingshan Shangji is Xia Chongxiao, but the real core of Shangji is Lan Yi, she has a clear mind, can grasp the overall situation, and discover key points. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The development of info business for more than two years has been carried out under her command, and everyone is more and more convinced of her, but it is not blindly followed, and everyone will seriously consider the ideas she puts forward, and put forward the points that they do not understand or do not understand.

Xia Chongxiao thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Sister Lan, you once said that the development of business should be based on stability, not rash, will there be more four grocery stores next year?" ”

"It's not much, from the experience of Huangxian and Meixian, the grocery store business can be done, we can catch it, and the grocery business is not as conspicuous as shipping and salt tea, but it is very profitable, we should start as soon as possible, hold it firmly, and make our name." Moreover, Huang County is not far from Yi County, Zi County, Ji County and Dengzhou, and there are two water and land links, so our distribution and management are convenient, and we can consider it. Of course, whether it can be done or not has to be further examined in these four places. Lan Yi explained.

Xia Chongxiao knew more about the situation of the surrounding counties of Huang County than Lan Yi, and further analyzed, "It is reasonable, don't say Dengzhou, the abundance of the people of the other three counties is better than that of our Huang County, if the grocery store can be opened and established, the income will be indispensable." But as far as my brother knows, there are a lot of big shops in Dengzhou City, and it remains to be seen whether they can squeeze in. Although Yixian County is abundant, the local people are fierce, and several major businesses in the county are fighting fiercely, so we may not be able to get benefits when we go in. ”

They can open a shop in Huangxian County and no one makes trouble, backed by the strength of the Xia family, there is Zhou Weiji on the Yamen side, and the business in Meixian County is also because of Mi Yichao, who is the county prince, and he is not afraid of the government and other ruffians to go to the door. If you want to open a grocery store elsewhere, you need to consider not only whether there is a local business, but also the risks of opening a store there. Lan Yi only had a preliminary investigation of the surrounding counties, which was not as thorough as Xia Chongxiao's, but she also took this issue into consideration.

"What Brother Xia said is very true, if we want to open a store, we need to look at the local situation, and we will make plans after we understand it clearly. Of course, if there is a suitable business name in the local area, we can also cooperate with them to open a store, and I also have preliminary plans for the method of cooperation, which are written here, and everyone will pass it on and see. Lan Yi distributed the three pages with Xiaokai written on them to everyone, and her words became better and smaller the more she wrote, and she could write a lot of content on one piece of paper.

Everyone nodded after watching it.

"If we act in turn, we will have to change the management focus next year." Xia Shun said, "I think we need to transfer more people to the grocery store, and the stewards below will also be put to use, and Lin Yuan will have to work harder next year." ”

Wang Linyuan puffed up his chest, "With the guidance of Brother Xia and sister-in-law, Shopkeeper Xia should be the master, I will definitely act according to our plan." However, hehe, I prefer to run around, if I go to other places to open branches, I go to run errands, and the head office here has to rely on the Xia shopkeeper to take care of it. Wang Lin went to the southern states for a period of time to inspect and made a lot of money, and he felt that running around for business was more suitable for him than running a shop here, and he could learn more things. At this point, the difference between him and Wang Linxi is more and more obvious, Wang Linxi is better at managing books and accounts, smoothing out various data, and finding problems from them, while he is better at developing the market.

Lan Yi said with a smile, "Let's talk about the specific personnel assignment in the next stage, let's start with it today, let's think about it for a few days, and we'll discuss it in five days." ”

"In such a hurry?" Xiao Qi asked puzzled.

Lan Yi nodded, "Since we want to do it, we have to do it as soon as possible, after we settle down, we will take advantage of the period when the grocery store sells more goods before the end of the year to investigate, see where there is business to do, and then we will determine it and open the store as soon as possible, business will not wait for anyone." ”

Because of Zhou Weiji's matter, Lan Yi felt uneasy in her heart. She has to start her business as soon as possible and make more money in order to grasp the greater initiative. Lan Yi looked at the daffodils in front of her firmly, she was going to leave for Meixian on the twentieth day of the first month of next year, and the matter of opening a store before that must be decided.

Xiao Qi looked at her for a moment, showed a warm smile, picked up a big red fruit and put it in her hand, "Okay, let's follow Sister-in-law's words and take a look around." However, I'm afraid that the little one won't be able to go, and the little one's grandfather has set a daughter-in-law for the little one to marry on the eighteenth day of the lunar month. ”

Lan Yi retracted his mind, and when he saw him smiling, he knew that he was satisfied with this marriage, "Really? That's great! Why didn't you tell me earlier, and let me be prepared? ”

Xiao Qitao's eyes narrowed and said, "None of you can run, Brother Xia and everyone will go to the banquet, and the head of the weekly class will be invited, and Sister-in-law will bring the two children with her on Tuesday." Everyone has to prepare a hearty congratulatory gift, after all, the little one will get married once in this life. ”

This is said as if one will marry many times! Everyone looked at him whitely, Xiao Qiyi smiled, his face was sincere, "I'll just say this to you, except for everyone, I haven't made a few sincere friends." ”

"I'm going to tell Liang to go in!" Lan Yi threatened, "He must be very happy to hear this, and he will pack you a few packets of 'good medicine'." ”

Xiao Qi waved his hand again and again, Xia Chongxiao smiled elegantly, "Xiao Qi, you don't need to think much about it here, when the day comes, what Shang Ji should do still has to do." According to Lan Mei's words, let's think about it separately in the past few days, hold a meeting in five days, and then separate people to investigate, and make a decision before the end of the year. In addition, according to the old rules, each store will take out 10% to reward the stewards and guys, so that everyone can have a good year. Also, the New Year's gift package in the grocery store will be given to the guys in each of our stores, which is the year's goods. Sixth son, Meixian Branch's development plan for next year, according to your girl's plan, go back after two ****, how to calculate dividends and New Year's goods. ”

You must know that at the end of this year, the New Year's gift package of Qingshan Grocery Store is very popular, and it has almost become a must-have gift for everyone to visit relatives and friends to send New Year's goods. The crowd laughed and talked for a while before they dispersed.

Xia Chongxiao kept Lan Yi, "My mother has prepared a banquet, just waiting for Lan Mei to appreciate her face." The first few times you excused yourself, this time you can't help but go, or I'll be punished by my mother. ”

Lan Yi thought that there was no arrangement for the future, so she smiled and told Yu Yan to inform Zhou Weiji that she couldn't eat with him at noon, so she went to Xia's house with Xia Chongxiao. When I saw Mrs. Xia's mother, she was really pulled by her and complained, "You girl, you haven't been here for another month, every time Xiao'er says that you are busy, you can tell your aunt what you are busy with!" ”

Lan Yi sat beside Mrs. Qin and said with a smile, "I don't dare to come, I lost the silver when I came to play cards with my aunt last time, and now I am still distressed." ”

Mrs. Qin glared at her and said angrily, "Others don't know, I don't know how much money you have?!" If you lose a few taels of silver, you dare to say that you are distressed! ”

Lan Yi grinned, took the refreshments on the small table and ate them, the meeting lasted for a long time, and she really felt hungry, "It's still my aunt's pastries here are delicious." ”

"You and Wan'er both prefer slightly sweet flavors, no wonder they go well." Mrs. Qin ordered someone to set the meal, but she didn't let anyone else accompany her, only the two of them ate with laughter in the house, "Your uncle-in-law had a drink with Wei Ji in Lexiangju two days ago, and came back and said that Mr. Nameless will return to Meixian in two days, and he will come back next year?" ”

"Well, I'll leave when Yixue has annual leave, and I'll come back next year when school starts." Lan Yi replied.

Mrs. Qin smiled, "It's good to be able to come back, it's a blessing for the children in the village." After two years, I want to send him to your village and let him study with Mr., what do you think? ”

Lan Yi smiled when she heard this, "Aunt doesn't know, the teacher mainly teaches the female children in the school, and the male children don't take much classes. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's also his blessing to be able to get Mr. to be trained a few times, not to mention that there are erudite and well-taught masters such as Su Yongshen in the village, and it's good for Wang'er to study with them." Mrs. Qin also knew that it was a little difficult to ask Mr. Nameless to take her grandson under her door now, but it was good to let him go to study first. Can't follow Mr. Nameless, it's not bad to follow Su Yongshen, Mrs. Qin met Su Yongshen at Lan Yi's banquet, and then heard Xia Chongxiao talk about him, and she also respected and admired him. The Xia family is a merchant, and although she also values the study of the children in the family, she looks down on the three masters in the clan study. If you don't have a good master, how can you teach a good apprentice, it was she who insisted on inviting a well-known female master from Dengzhou City to Xia Wan alone, so that she could teach Xia Wan to be good at poetry and painting, and she won the first place in Huang County.

When Lan Yi saw her say this, she no longer persuaded her, "Wang'er and Wen Xuan study together, and Wen Xuan will be so happy that he can't sleep when he knows it." ”

"Wenxuan is really cute, you taught it well, let Wang'er Niang go to study with you another day, she only knows how to make trouble with children!" Mrs. Qin was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Zhang's method of educating her children, so she took Wang'er with her to raise her personally after she became pregnant again.

In the eyes of her mother-in-law, daughters-in-law are not perfect, Lan Yi knew that Mrs. Qin was just complaining casually, and she didn't need to explain anything by herself, so she smiled and said, "Why didn't I see my sister-in-law and Ning'er today, Ning'er should be able to climb, right?" ”

Xia Chongxiao's daughter-in-law, Xia Ning, is eight months old, and it is said that she should be able to climb. The last time Lan Yi came, Xia Ning was trying to climb forward on Mrs. Qin's couch with her fat arms and legs, she thought it was a turtle stuck in her shell, funny and cute.

"I can climb, this girl and Wan'er wanted to be very active when they were young, and they crawled faster than a little monkey." Mrs. Qin talked about her granddaughter, full of love, "I followed her mother to Qing'an Temple today to make a wish to eat fast, and I should come back later." ”

Judging from Xia Wan's current description and behavior, Lan Yi really couldn't tell that she was an active person when she was a child, and she chatted with Mrs. Qin about some family things, and then mentioned the marriage between Xiao Qi and Xia Lian, "I only decided on the marriage a few days ago, but I didn't expect to get married at the end of the year, and Xia Lian's sister is busy." She was busy with the matter of getting married at that time, and Xia Lian married into a big family, so the things to prepare were naturally more trivial.

Xia Lian is the concubine of the third room, and Mrs. Qin did not have this number in her eyes, but because her son and Cheng Xiaoqi were friendly, Mrs. Qin treated Xia Lian with sincerity after the two were married, "There is still an old lady watching above, the third room does not dare to be too foolish, the dowry that should be purchased has been made up, and it can finally get by on the surface." The fifth girl is an understanding person, she does things in a measured manner, and she will be able to help Ge'er support the backyard after she gets married. ”

It's a pity that she is a concubine, but thinking that Lan Yi is still a maid, Mrs. Qin didn't say this half of a sentence. Lan Yi sat for a while and saw that Zhang and Xia Ning had not returned, so she didn't wait any longer and got up to say goodbye. You Chunxing accompanied her out of Mrs. Qin's courtyard, and when she walked through the garden, she met Xia Lian who came over with two maids.

The family is close, Xia Lian's face is full of joy, and she walks with her chest up and her head up, and the whole person looks bright. When Xia Lian saw Lan Yi, she took the initiative to greet with a smile, "Mrs. Zhou, are you leaving?" ”

Xia Lian and Lan Yi had only met twice, once when Xia Wan took Lan Yi to greet the old lady, the two did not speak, and even Lan Yi did not notice Xia Lian in the corner. The second time was at Xia Ning's children's banquet, Xia Lian saw that her aunt and sister-in-law treated Lan Yi very kindly, and even respected her a little, and she was surprised, this kind of respect was higher than the last time she saw Lan Yi. Xia Lian felt that this little woman of her age must have something extraordinary.

"The fifth girl doesn't have to be polite, just call me Lan Yi." Lan Yi said with a smile, with Xiao Qi's smile, Lan Yi knew that Xiao Qi would tell her about his shareholding in Shangji and doing business with him in the future, so Xia Lian was not an outsider. (To be continued.) )
