Chapter 85: Origins
"I just said that I just want to buy your shop." Sheng Qingyuan said indifferently.
Mother Cao chuckled, put the things she had just taken out of the house on the table, and said, "The princess should take a look before deciding whether to buy it."
A thin piece of paper, but the amount of information is not small.
The value of the shop in this area, the daily revenue of Qingzilou, and the number of people involved, all the expenses that add up to this amount look quite amazing.
Mother Cao looked at Sheng Qingyuan with a faint smile: "Does the princess still insist on buying the slave family's shop?"
"Nature." After Sheng Qingyuan glanced at it, his face was still calm and firm.
Mother Cao asked again, "Princess, if you want to buy it, the amount of money you need is very huge, do you have so much money?" Please forgive the slave family for taking the liberty of hearing that you are from an ordinary mountain village."
"Mother Cao knows a lot." Sheng Qingyuan said with a shallow smile.
Mother Cao also smiled slightly and said, "I don't know much, it's just that the princess's experience is too special, so many people who pay attention to it will hide, and the slave family will only listen to it."
Sheng Qingyuan said: "The cost of this one listed by Cao's mother is indeed a lot, and if I want to buy it completely, I really can't come up with so much money."
Cao's mother was not surprised by this answer.
These young Qingzilou are making money every day, and the value is extremely high, and if they want to swallow Qingzilou in one go, I am afraid that there are few people in the entire capital who can do it.
Not to mention a prince who has been missing for seven years and has lost his memory for six years, and has just recovered his identity.
No, it wasn't even the prince who came to talk about buying a shop, but the daughter-in-law he married in that remote mountain village.
It's just that Cao's mother has another doubt: "Since the princess can't come up with so much money, why does she propose to buy it?" Could it be that the princess thinks that the slave family is very idle?"
Sheng Qingyuan shook his head: "Naturally not, I looked at the price you gave, if it ......."
After a pause, Sheng Qingyuan picked up the pen, crossed out one of them, and said with a smile, "If you cross out this one, it will be enough."
Mother Cao looked at the item crossed out by Sheng Qingyuan, laughed, and then her face quickly turned cold: "Is the princess taking the slave family for fun?!" You want to buy the whole shop, but you don't plan to pay for it, don't you think you're making a fuss?"
When I bought a shop, the most valuable thing is, of course, the title deed of the shop, but Sheng Qingyuan crossed this item out.
The others are all kinds of miscellaneous expenses in Qingzi Building, which are like a drop in the bucket compared to the entire shop.
The placement of personnel, if Sheng Qingyuan doesn't need them, even this cost can be saved together.
"I also have something here for Mama Cao to see." Sheng Qingyuan also took out two pieces of paper.
After Mother Cao saw the above content, her pupils dilated, her eyes widened, and she looked at Sheng Qingyuan incredulously, "This is impossible, this is impossible, you must be faking."
Sheng Qingyuan lightly took back the two pieces of paper and said to her: "Qingzilou has been established for more than 20 years, and Cao's mother is not young.
Listening to Sheng Qingyuan's words, Cao's mother couldn't help but start recalling the past.
Of course she remembers.
Qingzi Building was originally not the current Qingzi Building, and the original location was not here.
At that time, Qingzilou was an ordinary restaurant, and the location was very remote, and the shop was so small that it could only fit three small tables at most.
At that time, her mother was seriously ill and needed a lot of money to treat, so her father did it day and night, hoping to sell one more table, but the place was too small, even if her father had a good cooking skill, there were many people who came to visit, but most of them left because there was no place.
What's even more difficult is that there is a group of people in the alley where they are located who need them to call for protection money regularly, and if they don't pay, they will smash their shop.
But he
They really couldn't pay the protection money, so they could only watch the shop being smashed.
Then a man came and gave them a shop, and gave them some of his fellows, saying that they could go there and do business, and that they only needed to keep 30% of the money they earned in a certain account in the bank, and they could keep it open until the master's family needed it.
This is more than 20 years.
And with the passage of time, what was originally just a pure restaurant has slowly evolved into the largest Qingqi Mansion now, and it has taken a lot of ill-gotten gains. new
Cao's mother obviously forgot the original intention of opening the restaurant, and the only thing that remained the same was that she would regularly save 30% of her income to the bank every month.
Mother Cao looked at Sheng Qingyuan with a complicated expression: "How can these be in your hands? His Royal Highness King Jing gave it to you?"
Sheng Qingyuan shook his head: "No."
"Are you going to say it's yours?" Cao's mother sneered.
Sheng Qingyuan pursed his lips, and finally nodded: "Maybe you don't believe it, but it's really mine."
Cao's mother frowned.
If it was King Jing's, she could barely convince herself that maybe the former well-wisher was from the Zhenguo Mansion, and later the Zhenguo Mansion gave it to him.
However, she remembers very well the people who brought her here back then, and she has been observing the people of the major families in the capital over the years, but she has never seen that person again, and that shop, occupying the best location in the capital, has never been looked for trouble, which shows the strong background of the owner behind the shop.
However, now he told her that this shop was actually a woman from a mountain village?
How does this make her believe?
"When you signed the lease contract, the other party told you how to identify the authenticity of the contract." Sheng Qingyuan said.
Cao's mother pursed her lips tightly, and after a long time, she didn't speak, and finally got up silently, returned to the room, and took out a small bottle from the room, as well as a brush.
Sheng Qingyuan took out the lease contract again, and Cao's mother dipped a little water in the bottle with a brush, and then lit the four corners of the lease contract.
He put the lease on the fire and roasted it.
Finally, two diagonal lines were drawn in the middle of the whole contract.
Surprisingly, the ink on it did not smudge at all after being stained with the water.
Cao's mother handed the contract back to Sheng Qingyuan, and looked up at Sheng Qingyuan again, but her eyes were very different at the beginning.
Mother Cao took a closer look at Sheng Qingyuan's appearance, as if she wanted to discover something from her.
After looking at it for a while, Cao's mother nodded and said, "Indeed, it's a little bit like that."
"Like whom?" Sheng Qingyuan asked.
Cao's mother said nostalgically: "Like the person who gave me this shop back then, it's just that this resemblance is not much, and there are about 20% similarities, but the look between the eyebrows and eyes is the most similar."
"Do you know the specific identity of that person?" Sheng Qingyuan asked her.
Cao's mother shook her head, "I don't know, I even thought he was a liar at first. But thinking about it later, I'm already poor like that, what is there to deceive? That man, after giving me this shop, disappeared."
Cao's mother looked at Sheng Qingyuan, and Zhengse asked her, "Since the princess doesn't know the person behind this shop, how did the princess get the house deed here, as well as this lease contract?"
Sheng Qingyuan said, "This is what I found in a padded jacket I wore when I was a baby. The place is very particular about the preservation of the clothes that I wore as a baby. When I packed my things and came to the capital, the clothes were accidentally torn, and then I found the contents inside."
Mother Cao looked at Sheng Qingyuan in a daze, and after a while, asked Sheng Qingyuan: I wonder if the slave family is lucky enough to take a look at the princess's padded jacket?"
"Yes." Sheng Qingyuan agreed.
"Thank you, Princess."
"Princess, please come here." Cao's mother made a "please" move to Sheng Qingyuan
Make.
In the courtyard at the back, there is an additional gate that leads to another street.
"Where does the princess live now?" Cao's mother asked Sheng Qingyuan.
Sheng Qingyuan turned around and looked at the courtyard behind him, and then looked at the opposite room, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Princess?"
Sheng Qingyuan pointed to the room in front of her and said, "This is it."
Mother Cao opened her mouth slightly, and tried to ask, "Dare to ask the princess, is this also yours?"
Sheng Qingyuan shook his head and said, "No, this is a trading house that I am looking for to rent temporarily."
Cao's mother immediately asked, "Which trading house is the princess looking for?"
"Cheng Zero Firm."
Cao's mother was even more surprised: "I have lived here for more than 20 years, I have never seen anyone enter or leave this house, I have gone to major commercial houses to inquire, including Chengling Commercial Bank, all of them said that they don't know who this house is, and they have not handled the sale or lease of this house, the princess is really looking for a house from Chengling Commercial Bank?"
"Yes, Cheng Ling Commercial Bank said that the location here is not very good, and the house has been empty for a long time, so the price will be relatively cheaper, so I chose this place." Sheng Qingyuan said lightly.
Cao's mother couldn't stop being shocked.
She didn't believe it could be that coincidental.
Cheng Ling Commercial Bank is the oldest established in Beijing, the largest and the best reputation of the commercial bank, and the price has always been the same, never said that it was cheap because it was lost for a long time.
This is more like someone arranged it early and waited for Sheng Qingyuan to come.
Now even if she doesn't look at the padded jacket, Cao's mother already believes that the lease contract is Sheng Qingyuan's.
Sheng Qingyuan turned out the small padded jacket before and showed it to Cao's mother.
When Cao's mother saw it, she said again and again, "Yes, yes, that's it, that's it."
After speaking, Cao's mother gave Sheng Qingyuan a big gift.
Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly helped her up and asked, "Okay, why did you suddenly make such a big gift to me?"
Cao's mother said: "Judging from the current situation, the slave family can almost conclude that you must have an unusual relationship with the benefactor who gave the slave family's shop back then, that is the great benefactor who changed the slave family's life, and the slave family doesn't know if there is a chance to see him, so they can only bow to the princess first."
"It's not me who helped you, if you really want to thank you, you can thank the person who helped you in the future." Sheng Qingyuan helped her up.
Mother Cao suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked Sheng Qingyuan, "Dare to ask the princess, what do you want this score for?"
Sheng Qingyuan said, "Open a medical hall."
Cao's mother: "?? Doctor, medical center?"
Sheng Qingyuan nodded lightly, "What's the problem?"
Mother Cao said with a tangled face: "Then, if you use that place for business, then, it will make a good profit, but if you use it to open a medical center, this, this is too big and useless, and the medical center doesn't need such a big land."
