Yu Ren secretly sighed, the children of everyone in this family have different temperaments, although they are rich, they are not publicized, unlike those nouveau riche, who have a little money, and they can't change them all into gold, silver, jade, gorgeous clothes, and wear them on their bodies.

After a while, two more people entered the room. One is Cai's tent, and the other Yu Ren doesn't know.

As soon as the stranger entered the house, he hurriedly introduced Xu Sanshao, "You've been waiting for a long time." Cai Yuan had something to do outside and delayed for a while. ”

Xu Sanshao waved his hand very gracefully. "It's out of the way. Huang Jian, let's get down to business! ”

Huang Jian nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes." Get down to business. This is Cai Yuanwai who is looking for you at your request. Cai Yuanwai is a native of Shandong, and his ancestral home is also in our Songjiang Mansion, and he later went to Shandong to do business. Now, Cai Yuanwai wants to go back to Songjiang to buy a business, so that he can move his family back to Songjiang in the future. ”

Although Xu Sanshao was in a hurry to sell the weaving house, he didn't show it at all, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. After listening to Huang Jian's introduction, Xu Sanshao looked Cai Tent up and down, and he always believed only three points in other people's words. "Cai Yuanwai didn't do good business in Shandong, why did he suddenly remember to run back to Songjiang again? It is not easy for our ancestors to lay a foundation, and we should not abandon it easily! ”

Cai Tent sat down, sighed and said, "Alas, don't hide it from the third young master." I want to be in Shandong, too! However, in the past two years, the Jurchens have been too fierce, and our generals of the Ming Dynasty are so soft. In the big battle at the beginning of the year, the four most famous chief officers of our Ming Dynasty were all defeated and two were killed. It's chilling!

I am worried that one day in the future, if they break through the Shanhai Pass and make trouble in Shandong, I am afraid that at that time, I am afraid that they will not even be able to save their lives. I heard that more than 300 years ago, the Mongols were like this, and as soon as the iron cavalry entered the Central Plains, the first victims were Hebei and Shandong. So, I thought about returning to my ancestral home to settle down.

But just moving the family back without business is not a long-term solution. So I thought of setting up a business in Songjiang. ”

Xu Sanshao listened very carefully to Cai's words. "What did Cai Yuanwai's family originally do in Shandong?"

"Our family is in Dengzhou Prefecture, and we mainly do some shipping business. Porcelain and cloth were usually purchased from the south and sold to Korea. When my grandfather first arrived in Dengzhou, there was only one boat, and now our family has thirteen boats. It's just that this business can't be done now. ”

"Why?" Xu Sanshao asked.

"Since the defeat of Salhu, we have entered a state of preparedness in Dengzhou, and merchants are not allowed to go to sea. Our family's boat has been parked for more than half a year. ”

Xu Sanshao nodded. "I probably told you about my situation, Huang Jian also told you. Our family has a weaving house and business has been very good. It's just that now I have something at home and don't want to run it, so I'm going to sell it. There are 5,200 looms in my family's weaving room, and the weavers are all skilled old people, and there are regular merchants.

Cai Yuanwai is also a person who has been in business for a long time, and he should know that the cotton cloth in our Songjiang Mansion is the best cotton cloth in the world. And the cotton cloth produced by our Xu family is not what I Xu San brags about, it is also the top in Songjiang Mansion. ”

Cai Yuanwai listened very carefully and did not speak.

Xu Sanshao observed Cai Yuanwai's expression while speaking. But he didn't find anything, and this Cai Yuanwai didn't seem to be too moved by his words. "According to the market price, each loom should be worth ten taels of silver. Our loom also comes with all the skilled workers, so it is more expensive than this small family's loom, and I also have to come with a weaving room. Neither the house nor the land can be counted. ”

Cai Yuanwai laughed, "Xu Sanshao is really a shrewd person. It's just that my Lao Cai has never been so detailed in his business. All you have to do is put the house, the land, the loom, and the workers together, and quote the price of how much silver you need. ”

Xu Sanshao also laughed, "Cai Yuanwai is really a happy person." Then I won't say much. The loom, the house, the land, and the people are all in one place, a total of 80,000 taels of silver, which is not much for you! It's just that I have one condition, the money must be delivered within three days. ”

"Fifty thousand taels." Cai Yuanwai cut the road categorically.

Xu Sanshao's eyes emitted a strange light. "Our weaving room is the best machine, the best worker, if one machine breaks, I Xu San promise to compensate you three. So be it! I took a step back, sixty-five thousand taels, and I couldn't go back any more. If I hadn't been in a hurry to get the money, I wouldn't have sold it. This is the work of more than 10 years of operation. ”

"Fifty thousand." Cai Yuanwai still said that, and he didn't mean to add it at all.

Xu Sanshao's face was a little ugly, but he still didn't give up. Because he knew that it would not be easy to find someone to take over his weaving house at the moment. Those who have strength are interested in him, who is not seen, and those who are not strong are tantamount to talking in vain.

"I'll take a step back, fifty-eight thousand taels. That's my last limit. Xu San said.

"Fifty-two thousand, I won't come out with one more point. I've also been to see your weaving house. I know the situation very well. If you want to say that three months ago, your weaving house was 65,000, and I would not hesitate to take it down. But now it's different.

Not to mention that you have a lot of old customers recently, but many of the skilled workers have also invested in the Shen family. Even if you don't sell it now, I'm afraid that in another year or two, there will only be looms left in your weaving house. Your 5,000 old looms can be sold for this price, and I am quite a lot! ”

Xu San didn't speak for a long time, and he knew that what Cai Yuanwai said was also the truth. In the last two months, the weavers of the family have been leaving. He also secretly inquired, and most of them went to Shen's house.

What he couldn't understand was that the price he offered to these weavers was not lower than that of the Shen family, but why couldn't he keep people?

He's been thinking about it these days. Now that even the weaving house is about to be sold, he no longer thinks about it.

Xu Sanshao gritted his teeth, "Okay, fifty-two is fifty-two." ”

A smile appeared on Cai's face, and then he calmly took out two pieces of paper from his arms. "It's a contract in duplicate. The third young master took a look. If it's okay, we'll sign it. Within three days, I promised to pay the money in full. ”

Xu Sanshao picked up the contract and looked at it. See that there is also a clause written above: If one party defaults, it is necessary to pay the other party 20,000 taels of silver for breach of contract. Xu Sanshao didn't care. Anyway, he has already decided to sell the weaving house to this Lao Cai, and there is nothing to break into. So, they picked up the pen that Huang Jian had prepared for them and signed their names on the two contracts.

Cai also wrote his name on it, and then the two of them each took one and put it in their arms.

Seeing that the business was negotiated, Xu Sanshao's face was also a lot more relaxed. Although the price was lower than he expected, it was still acceptable. He said to Huang Jian on the side, "Huang Jian! You help me go to the Drunken Immortal Building to arrange a table of banquets. I want to have a few drinks with Cai Yuanwai, and they are all friends in the business field! Maybe next time we will have a chance to work together again! ”

Cai Tent waved his hand. "Thank you so much. It's just that I can't obey my fate. I'm also doing things for people, and I have to give this contract to our owner as soon as possible! ”

When Xu Sanshao heard this, he was shocked and felt bad. "Is there an owner in addition to Cai Yuan?"

Cai Tent hurriedly waved his hand. "Lao Cai doesn't dare to be the title of the third young master. Actually, I'm just a bookkeeper, not an outsider. After speaking, Cai Tent turned around and walked out of the private room.

When Xu Sanshao heard this, he immediately thought of something, but he still had to see it with his own eyes to believe it.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Sanshao came out of the private room, he saw a young man in his twenties standing at the door of the private room next to him, followed by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

Xu Sanshao didn't know this young man, but intuitively, he had already guessed the identity of this person.

Cai walked up and handed the young man the contract he had just signed. The young man reached out and took it, carefully put it in his sleeve, and then arched his hand to Xu Sanshao.

"Third Young Master, I'm really sorry. I don't want to make such a decision, but if you say that you will sell it to anyone, you will not sell our Shen family, and I have no choice. Don't be surprised.

There is a good saying: above the mall, there are no absolute friends, only absolute interests. Although we were rivals in the past. But that's not anymore. After you sell the weaving house to me, we will do our own business from now on, and there will be no more conflicts!

I Yu Ren sincerely hope to be able to make friends like Sanshao, and if I have the opportunity, I will be close to Sanshao. ”

Xu Sanshao's face was pale, he didn't say a word, just snorted coldly at Huang Jian, and then flicked his sleeves and went downstairs.
