Chapter 227

As soon as Chu Yi stepped into the door of the immortal drunkenness, a sharp-eyed Xiao Er came up to ask, and learned that the guest in front of him was Boss Lin Ji who was looking for someone in the private room, so he hurriedly bent down and made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Boss Chu, Boss Lin has arrived, please come with me."

After speaking, he led Chu Yi all the way to a private room on the second floor, the door of the box was half open, Xu heard the movement of someone going upstairs, Chu Yi had just walked to the door, Lin Tingren had already stood up from the table and looked out: "Boss Chu hasn't seen you for a long time, is the family okay?"

Chu Yi took two steps quickly, and stepped forward to greet Lin Ting: "Everything is fine at home, let Boss Lin wait for a long time."

"It's still early for lunch, and I've just arrived, so sit down."

After the two sides were polite, they sat down together, and the little two of the restaurant also began to serve food one after another, and the two chatted while eating, and for a time they were also happy with the guests.

"When I first met Boss Chu and Mrs. Zun, Lin felt that you husband and wife were not simple, and I didn't expect that in just a few years, I would directly open the shop in the county, and the business was very prosperous as soon as it passed, and Lin really admired it."

Chu Yi surrendered his hand and said, "Boss Lin praised it falsely, our husband and wife just opened a small shop, thanks to everyone's care."

Lin Ting waved his hand: "Eh, Boss Chu doesn't have to be humble, Lin really wants to make you a friend, I came to you today, first, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I will contact you." Second, there is also one thing to ask for."

"Boss Lin, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Lin Ting took a sip of wine and said, "I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you Brother Chu." I am ashamed to say that these industries under my name are inherited from my father's generation, and when I was young, I also wanted to carry forward it and go to the county town or even the city to break through, but at that time I was young and vigorous, and I had no courage to do things, and finally fell to the point of breaking my head and bleeding. But now that I have seen you and your husband like this, I have aroused some thoughts, wondering if I can work hard again.

It's just that although the county is big and there are many business opportunities, it is not like a small town like ours, what do you want to do to find a place, just do it directly, there are many merchants and there is a lot of competition, and after a long time, there are various chambers of commerce and guilds, these industries are very xenophobic, I think I have suffered a lot of them at the beginning.

In fact, if you open an ordinary shop, it's fine, but like a workshop, a commercial house, etc., it is simply difficult to move an inch. Speaking of which, although your business is just a simple shop, it is the so-called strange goods to live in, if your business is too good, I am afraid that it will attract people's eyes, and you should be more careful."

Chu Yi nodded, although they haven't heard of any chambers of commerce in the past six months, but there is still malicious competition, for example, the Yang family who imitated copper coins and burned paper, and maliciously lowered prices, but doing business is like this, you can't waste food because of choking, for fear of being jealous and jealous, so it is not cost-effective.

However, Chu Yi was still very grateful to Lin Ting for the reminder, and raised his glass to thank him: "Thank you Brother Lin for the reminder."

Lin Ting drank the wine in the cup, and then continued: "Alas, it's not a reminder, it's just a little more to talk about. It's far away, it's far away, I'm actually thinking, Brother Chu, since you have opened up some situations in the county, I don't know if you are interested, take this opportunity to make it bigger directly?"

"What does Brother Lin mean?"

Lin Ting's face, which was slightly red from drinking, showed a touch of excitement: "It's better for you and me to cooperate, let's open a paper money workshop directly in the county, and do the copper money burning paper and paper ingots you sell, I think that although it is bound to encounter a lot of resistance when it falls, but we join forces, we don't have to be too afraid, I will contribute funds for this workshop, Brother Chu, you will provide technology, wholesale and retail one-stop, how about we divide the account by then?"

Opening a workshop in the county?

The little couple really didn't think about it, a county in the county where every inch of land is expensive, they bought the two houses now, although they begged for some ingenuity, took some advantage, it was true that it cost a lot of silver, but this kind of situation is unavoidable, if it is in the county to open a workshop, the site workers need money everywhere, for them who have just settled in the county, this expense is really a little difficult to support.

More important

It is they who have a workshop in the mountain village, the old house of the Chu family, not to mention the workers recruited in the workshop, that is, Chu Ping, Zhao Cheng and Jiang Quan, and most of today's livelihoods rely on this workshop, if the couple closes the workshop of the old house and opens it in the county seat, what should these people do?

It is the intention of the young couple to move the workshop to the county seat, even if the cooperation conditions given by Lin Ting are very attractive, no capital, only provide technology, this is simply a business without capital for them, and the risk is very small, even if they lose, it will not affect their husband and wife, but some things can not only consider the money and themselves. Look at the book

Chu Yi said very apologetically, "I'm sorry Brother Lin, I'm afraid I can't agree to this."

Lin Ting didn't expect Chu Yi to refuse without even thinking about it, and didn't even hesitate for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Why is this, but I don't think it's appropriate to divide the account, Brother Chu......

Chu Yi interrupted Lin Ting's words and explained: "That's not the case, Brother Lin doesn't know, firstly, my family's copper coin burning paper has been imitated by other families, and secondly, and most importantly, my family's workshop is not just the reliance of my husband and wife."

Chu Yi pointed, but Lin Ting already understood the meaning of the words, thinking about it carefully, the little couple now lives in the county most of the time, and the relevant matters in this workshop are naturally entrusted to a trustworthy person to manage, and it is estimated that it is either a close relative or a close friend, this kind of thing naturally cannot be helped in vain, and it is natural to negotiate the share or salary, so that people can devote themselves wholeheartedly.

This has already been discussed, and it is really not good to abandon them for the sake of their own interests.

Although he figured out this, Lin Ting was still a little unwilling, he didn't want to let such a good opportunity slip away in vain, he had been thinking about this matter at home for a long time, and the other party's character made him more determined to cooperate with Chu Yi.

"Brother Chu, you can't think too absolutely about everything, you let me think about it, maybe we can think of a solution that has the best of both worlds!"

"It's better to ...... like this."

For most of the next time, Lin Ting kept trying to persuade him, and Chu Yi saw that the other party was so persistent, and he couldn't bear to refuse again and again, so he thought of a compromise.

"It's really not good to burn paper and paper ingots in copper coins, but if Brother Lin doesn't dislike it, maybe we can cooperate to open another workshop."

When Lin Ting heard this, he immediately swept away the loss of Fang Cai, and was a little puzzled, he had never heard that this Chu family still had a side business, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of workshop, what kind of business is Brother Chu's family doing?"

Chu Yi said slowly: "My lady made a kind of paper tie a while ago, and it is also a kind of paper money, which is also a paper money and other things, and it was sold in the shop for a while a few years ago, but at the moment it is indeed not as popular as the first two kinds of paper money, if it sells well in the future, it must also be processed in the workshop, but now this paper trade has just started, and the workshop that makes paper is afraid that it will not be able to open for a while."

"Is that true?"

Chu Yi nodded and gave Lin Ting an affirmative reply: "Naturally, I won't deceive Brother Lin, but I only thought about this matter temporarily, and I have to go back and discuss it with my family."

"It's nature." Lin Ting nodded in understanding, he thought it was a completely impossible thing, but now it seems that there has been a turnaround, he is naturally happy, but as a businessman, making money is the first purpose, so he confirmed again: "Brother Chu, how sure are you of this paper tie business you said?"

Chu Yi is naturally full of confidence in his own lady, but since he wants to do business in partnership, it is not good to look confident, as if he is deceiving others, but he does not want to belittle his own lady's hard work against his will, so he said: "The copper money burning paper and paper ingots that my family sells now turns out to be a kind of silver ticket paper money, which are all from my mother's hand."

Lin Ting nodded slowly, he naturally knew the prosperity of the first two transactions, and he had also heard that the silver ticket paper money had been mentioned by someone who had forged the silver ticket at the beginning, and it was related to it, although he had never seen it, he thought it must be a good salesman, but what was this called "paper tie", he had no concept at all, and he couldn't think of what it looked like, so he said, "Brother Chu, if it's convenient, can you let me see it."

Look at that paper?"

"Of course, when I go back to the shop in the county seat, I will ask someone to get one for Brother Lin."

"Thank you!"

Lin Ting nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and then the private room suddenly quieted down, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, or whether the trade of paper could be as prosperous as the Chu family's copper coins and paper ingots.

Chu Yi looked indifferent, drinking and eating vegetables by himself, and thinking in his heart, this immortal drunk dish is really good, this eight-treasure stuffed chicken, soft and sweet but not too greasy, his wife will definitely like it, it is better to bring the family here to eat at night.

When Chu Yi returned to the inn, everyone in the Chu family had already had lunch in the hall of the inn, and everyone wanted to go out after lunch, but the biological clocks of several little dolls were very punctual, and they were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes after eating, so they could only postpone their travel plans.

Seeing Chu Yi softly pushing the door and walking in, Shen Luzhu, who was originally leaning on the side of the bed, hurriedly got up lightly, and saw that his face was a little red, so he poured him a cup of hot tea and asked softly, "I've been drinking, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Chu Yi drank all the water in the teacup, afraid that the wine on his body would smoke properly, so he pulled his wife to sit down at the round table outside: "It's okay, I don't drink much." But after eating, how is the food in this inn, does Ah Zhu like it?"

Shen Luzhu smiled and chatted softly with Xianggong: "After eating, I ordered a large table of dishes, the master has good skills, and a few dishes taste very good, what about you, what did you talk about with Boss Lin?"

"That's good, it's probably as Ah Zhu guessed, saying that he wants to open a workshop with us in the county to make paper money......

Shen Luzhu frowned slightly when he heard this: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to open a workshop in the county seat."

Chu Yi raised his hand to soothe his wife's frowning brows: "Don't worry, I have already refused, but Boss Lin is very sincere, I remembered that our paper tie is here, and I told him that after the paper tie business is stable, we can make a paper tie workshop together, but it has not been decided yet, I want to come back and ask you what you think."

"This paper tie is complicated to do, if it is really bought and sold in the future, it is really impossible to rely on the two of us alone, and it is a matter of time before it is moved to the workshop to do it, there is basically no place in the backyard of the old house at the moment, and it can be vacated to make paper ties, if we build a workshop by ourselves, we have to find another place, if Boss Lin has a heart, it is fine, after all, we have rejected him twice this time, and it is really unreasonable not to do something."

"That's what I thought, so I proposed to make a paper workshop together, but Boss Lin still seems to have some concerns, so for now, it's just a casual conversation."

Shen Luzhu nodded: "It's normal to have concerns, but it's okay, anyway, this matter won't be able to be done for a while, and then I'll talk about it."

"Okay, listen to Azhu. Do you want to go to sleep, wait a minute, let's drive the carriage to the market, I heard that today is the first day after the New Year, the market will not be lively all day, and in the evening, we will go to the place where Boss Lin set at noon, the immortal drunk, his family has a Eight Treasures Stuffed Chicken, sweet and soft, Ah Zhu, you will like it very much."
