Chapter 26: Buying and Selling
Speaking of which, Ye Yanqi is just afraid of getting into trouble, so what's the point of shrinking his head and tail and living like this?
So, Fenghua replied stiffly: "I don't care what others say." β
"Then why do you have to ask this king?" Ye Yanqi replied gracefully.
Hmph, if you can't buy the shop in the East Market, who will look for you!
"Isn't it a difficulty, you need the prince's help!" Fenghua hurriedly put on a smiling face and said flatteringly.
Ye Yanqi didn't know what Gu Fenghua wanted to do earlier, but after this call, it was already clear.
Some time ago, it was reported that a group of businessmen from other places were inquiring about shops in the East Market. This kind of thing happens from time to time, but it is almost impossible for foreign businessmen to enter the Beijing business circle, and Ye Yanqi did not take this news to heart.
Now that I think about it, the person who inquired should have been sent out by Gu Fenghua, but now he has hit a wall, but he also knows where the gun is going.
Seeing that Ye Yanqi was silent, Fenghua continued, "I saw that the East Market was more prosperous, and I wanted to buy a shop in the East Market, but I couldn't get it, so I wanted to ask the prince to show me the way." β
"I'm afraid you've found the wrong person, this king is in this mansion every day, how can you know about the market?"
Gu Fenghua once really thought that Ye Yanqi was a prince who shrank in a turtle shell in order to save his life, because what he warned the most was not to cause trouble, not to cause trouble.
But after this period of time, Fenghua found that he didn't cause trouble, and things would also cause trouble.
Therefore, Ye Yanqi can do everything without provoking, in addition to patience, there must be some unknown means.
So, she opened the skylight and said brightly, "The people behind the shops in the East Market are all nobles from the family, even from the royal family. If the prince really doesn't know, he also begs for help to inquire, you don't have to worry about money. β
Ye Yanqi said in his heart: It's not stupid, I saw the way of the shop transaction in the East Market.
The aristocratic family in the capital looked down on the people who did business, but they couldn't look down on the silver, so they secretly purchased a large number of shops, either handed over to relatives who were around and over to operate, or reached cooperation with Beijing merchants.
This cannot be done on the table, so the transaction of the store can only be done in secret.
"Why did you think of business?" Ye Yanqi always felt that making money and finding medicine were not Gu Fenghua's real purpose, and he couldn't persuade him to make a move.
Fenghua is scheming, and it seems that he has to use a bitter meat trick, "Lord, I don't have a mother-in-law to serve, and I don't have a sister-in-law or uncle to worry about; Those ladies and ladies look down on me, and I don't bother to chew my tongue with them, I have to find something to do. β
"It turned out to be idle." Ye Yanqi summed it up in one word.
"You...... Think so, just think so. "Feng Hua is stopped.
But when it comes to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she suddenly thinks of her mother-in-law.
The Gu family has never had a fight in the house, and the relationship between grandmother and A-Niang is very good, probably because they are taking a different path from ordinary women, so they cherish each other.
In Fenghua's eyes, grandmother and A-Niang are both heroes among women and are the lights of her life.
"My aunt is gone, this Anhetang is the biggest industry of the Tang family, it can't be destroyed in my hands, run this pharmacy well, and live up to the hard work of my aunt."
This does not seem like a lie.
Ye Yanqi didn't plan to detain her, and thought: That's it, just let her toss, she can't make any splash if she thinks about it.
Maybe he should also listen to Wang Qianhe's persuasion, in this way, Gu Fenghua's medicine shop can be regarded as a favor for him.
So, he answered, "I'll inquire about you." β
Fenghua looked at Ye Yanqi incredulously, she thought that it would be useful to fight for at least a few days, it seems that she was not wrong, this person is really a little capable.
"So, thank you, Lord! Remember to notify me if there is news, and I won't disturb your rest. Fenghua hurriedly said it to death, lest Ye Yanqi regret it.
When he was about to walk out of the courtyard, Fenghua seemed to remember something, paused, turned around and said, "Oh, no, I will take the initiative to ask if I have time, so as not to make you too tired to go to the west courtyard." β
Ye Yanqi scoffed at this, he still wants to do business with such a dewy appearance?
Is it better to say that she is naΓ―ve, or stupid? I don't know what the queen mother likes about her!
Subsequently, Ye Yanqi instructed Jiang He to take the information that the Jiangnan businessmen had inquired about the shop some time ago.
After about half an hour, Jiang He went out of the door, came back and handed a note to Ye Yanqi, "Seventh Master, they have inquired about ten shops, and the locations are all inside." β
Ye Yanqi carefully looked at the location of those shops, and could see that they had been selected, all of them were not very popular shops, and they were also in line with the choice of foreign businessmen who had just entered the country, and the Tang family must have good hands in business.
As for the observation position, there are good and bad ones, but this factor should not be considered.
Come to think of it, how can a business person think about this aspect, it's just his own habit.
However, among these ten shops, there are two or three Ye Yanqi's shops, which is convenient.
"Get out of the wine shop." Ye Yanqi handed the note to Jiang He.
Jiang He took the note, put it on the candle flame as usual, and asked, "How much?" β
You don't have to worry about money.
Ye Yanqi remembered what Gu Fenghua had just said and smiled, "Fifteen thousand taels." β
"One...... Fifteen thousand? Jiang He stammered and repeated, he thought that the sale of this building to the princess would be discounted, but he didn't expect it to increase nearly twenty times, "This, will the princess buy it?" β
"Is there a shop released this month?" Ye Yanqi asked.
"Not really."
"Strange goods can be lived, and the price increase is also justified." Ye Yanqi said lazily.
Black, really black! Jiang He secretly shook his head in his heart.
"Am I black-hearted?" Ye Yanqi saw through Jiang He's thoughts, "I bought an entrance ticket to the East Market for fifteen thousand taels, and I won't sell it for one hundred thousand taels as many people do!" β
"What if the princess doesn't have that much silver?"
"Jiangnan is hugely rich, and every year there is spare energy to transfuse blood for the Zhenxi Army, this money is nothing." Ye Yanqi was indifferent.
"High, really high!" Jiang He changed his tune and praised.
"You always have to pay some tuition fees first, and if you lose, you should spend money to buy lessons, if you can do it in Beijing, it will be as grand as Jiangnan......"
Heh, how is this possible? Ye Yanqi stopped the ridiculous thought.
The Tang family has been in business for several generations, and it was only carried forward when the old man Tang was born, and the Tang family was also brought to the old man to cultivate since he was a child, and Gu Fenghua, the stunned Gu family character, just passed the time, this time let her learn a lesson.
"Jianghe, send the deed to the Star Picking Pavilion."
"Yes."
Xingxing Pavilion was originally an ordinary Zhuang Mansion in the East Market, specializing in matching shops, houses to buy and sell or lease parties to reach a transaction, from which to draw commissions.
But ten years ago, it seized the mind of the powerful who were unwilling to reveal their identities to do business, and gradually developed into a secret trading place for shops and houses in the East Market.
Speaking of which, this Star Pavilion is the first territory created by Ye Yanqi after he decided to help the prince do things, and now he has mastered the property status of some officials in the capital through this industry.
As for the strategically located building in the East Market, such as the Ruyi Building, they will take it down by themselves and use it for observation and information collection.
Gu Fenghua took a fancy to that building, which Ye Yanqi bought for eight hundred taels a few years ago, and now he is opening a wine shop, and it is a pity to abandon it because of the tasteless food, but now he can make a lot of money, and it is also an excellent deal.
