Chapter 193: Seeing the Wind Makes the Rudder
Gao Caitong said directly, "A person has ten taels of silver a year." ”
The corners of Gu Rao's mouth twitched.
You see, you dare to think!
Gao Caitong, "Knowledge is a valuable ......"
Gu Rao raised her hand to support her forehead.
"I also want to make more money, but we still have to be down-to-earth, or realistic, my arithmetic is not taught to one or two people, but to the public, as long as you give money you can learn, once you start teaching, arithmetic is not a secret, nor is it a unique secret."
"If the price is set too high, some people can wait for others to learn and then pay for it to learn from those who have already learned."
Gao Caitong has always been the same.
"Then five taels of silver a year? No matter how little it is, it's really not cost-effective, and the ultimate purpose of doing business is to make money. ”
"What you teach is far more than that."
Gu Rao still shook her head.
"I decided, one tael of silver for one semester, and one thousand nine hundred wen for two semesters."
Gao Caitong clutched his chest.
"Isn't it a waste that you have such a great opportunity to make money, but you charge so much?"
Gu Rao smiled.
"Two taels of silver is already very high, and at this price, people who are willing to study must be able to afford it at home."
"I also hope that more and more people will learn arithmetic."
Gao Caitong is no longer reluctant.
"Now that you've got an idea, I'm not going to say anything."
Everyone has their own ideas, and he can't impose his own ideas on others, right? Maybe one day in the future, as the master said, more and more people will be able to do arithmetic, which doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
"When does school start?"
Gu Rao said, "Let's start signing up after five days, and you can start teaching them for the second time after signing up." ”
Gao Caitong was very expectant, and said positively, "I'll do the registration thing, master, you just have to wait for six days to come to the academy to teach them." ”
Gu Rao has this intention.
Now she has a cooperative relationship with Gao Caitong, and the academy also has a part of Gao Caitong's shares, so she doesn't have any burden on Gao Caitong.
"Then it's hard for you."
Gao Caitong smiled innocently.
"It's all what I'm supposed to do."
Gu Rao coughed lightly, and said, "The matter of borrowing money ......"
Gao Caitong took out a piece of paper.
"I have already written the IOU, master, please take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can change it again."
Gu Rao took it and took a look.
"Why didn't you write interest?"
The deadline for repaying the debt is set at one year, and the pressure on her to repay the debt is quite small.
Gao Caitong said with a smile, "It's just two hundred taels of silver, it's not a big amount for me, if I lend it to others, I definitely don't feel at ease, but what is our relationship?" ”
"It's too vulgar to talk about interest."
Gu Rao raised her eyebrows.
"We are laity, what is vulgar when talking about interest? My brother still settles the accounts, let's not engage in that set of empty heads, let's add interest. ”
If you really don't add interest, what you owe is a favor.
It's easy to repay debts, but it's not easy to repay personal debts.
Gao Caitong can't resist her.
"Then in your opinion, how much interest is appropriate?"
Gu Rao said, "I can't borrow for that long, I should be able to return the two hundred taels of silver to you within half a year, according to the interest of ten taels of silver a month, how about giving you sixty taels of interest in six months?" ”
This interest rate is actually a bit high.
But in this era, whether it is a money bank or somewhere else, the interest on borrowing money is already cheap, and the interest she gives is relatively small.
Gao Caitong has no opinion.
"Okay, just do as you say. I'm not in a hurry to use the money, you can wait for half a year to pay back the money at once, or you can pay back a little bit every month, and it's up to you how to repay the money. ”
"Xiao Liu, go get two hundred taels of silver tickets."
Liu Xiaobao quickly took the two hundred taels of silver tickets.
Gu Rao took the silver ticket, pressed her handprint on the IOU, and signed her name.
-
The time of three days is fleeting, and soon it will be the day of bidding for Fuyun Restaurant.
Gu Rao and Beiye didn't do business today, and after a brief cleanup, they took all the money and came to Fuyun Restaurant early, waiting for the auction to start.
They came at the hour, thinking they had come early, but when they arrived, they found that the restaurant was already overcrowded.
Most of them are subordinates, and they first booked a place for the host's house.
The second floor has been rounded.
Gu Rao and Bei Ye originally wanted to find a window seat to sit down, but for the sake of the shopkeeper, they knew that the better location on the first floor was gone.
They want to have a place to sit, but they can only share a table with others.
Gu Rao was still hesitating.
The shopkeeper said in a salty tone, "You are not willing to spend money to find a place to sit, just find a place to stand by yourself, don't let others spend money to sit down and wait for a long time." ”
The rich people he saw on weekdays were gone, and when he saw what the couple was wearing, there was not even a small servant or maid behind him, so he knew that it was not a big family, so his attitude towards them was not polite and impatient.
Gu Rao's eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Did I say it doesn't cost money?"
It's just that your better place here is gone, and I don't want to sit at the same table with people I don't know, so I hesitated a little. ”
The shopkeeper didn't take care of her, and when he saw a gorgeously dressed boy and a folding fan behind her, he immediately saw the wind and steered the rudder, and changed his dog-legged face.
"This son, have you asked to reserve a seat?"
Ma Xiuqing nodded.
"Well, the second floor."
The shopkeeper's eyes brightened.
"The little one will take you up!"
Gu Rao heard a familiar voice, and when she looked back, she was really an acquaintance.
After Ma Xiuqing turned around Gu Rao, she also recognized who she was, and subconsciously glanced at her, and when she saw the tall and big other fields, there was a weakness and fear in her eyes.
hurriedly used a fan to cover most of his face.
The action is covered.
The shopkeeper took Ma Xiuqing to the second floor.
Gu Rao and Bie Ye were left in place, and they didn't even have the opportunity to find a random position.
Beno said, "You wait for me here." ”
Gu Rao's expression was puzzled.
"What are you going to do?"
Beye said, "I'll go back and move two small stools, there is really no place, let's just sit in the corner, there are few people in the corner." ”
Gu Rao observed Bie Ye's expression, and saw that after he saw Ma Xiuqing, he didn't have any unusual emotions, just like a nobody, he knew that he was really disappointed in Bei Xiaoqiao, and he should really not care about Bei Xiaoqiao's affairs in the future.
I was overjoyed.
"Go ahead."
-
An hour later, the auction finally began.
This auction is not very professional, and the person who presided over the auction turned out to be the shopkeeper just now!
After Gu Rao saw the shopkeeper go up, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she realized that the huge restaurant seemed to be a guy from the shopkeeper!
No wonder it's on the verge of going out of business!
The name of the shopkeeper is Lu Xiaoer.
He stood in the corridor on the second floor, and said to the people below and on the second floor, "Today is the day of the auction of Fuyun Restaurant, the auction starts at three hundred taels of silver, please start bidding now!" ”
The sound of bidding came from the box on the second floor.
"Three hundred and twenty taels!"
"Three hundred and fifty taels!"
"Five hundred taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
